Stories For May Day

Today is the first of May, known in many countries as May Day, which in some places is an observance of working people.  Besides that, here are some things going on:


From Townhall, "a lie, a myth and a question".



From the Washington Examiner, my governor has a super PAC.




From LifeZette, in a poll of Democratic candidates, Biden has a big lead over Senator Bernie Sanders.  (Sanders isn't even a registered Democrat, but still contends - again - for their nomination.  As I said yesterday, the Dems could nominate a Biden/Sanders ticket and brag about 150 years of experience.)





From the (U.K.) Independent, Julian Assange is sentenced to 50 weeks in prison.  (It looks like his possible extradition to the U.S. might have to wait awhile.)

From the (Irish) Independent, Ireland's Taoiseach denies being a vegan.  (Mr. Varadkar's name is obviously not ethnically Irish, but I don't think that he comes from a star 25 light-years away.)
















From Sputnik InternationalRussian Foreign Minister Lavrov warns U.S. Secretary of State against "aggressive steps" in Venezuela.  (How to you say "hypocrite" in Russian?)

















From Turkish Minute, Turkey "slams" the U.S. State Department for criticizing its crackdown on the Gülen movement.  (Turkish Minute has often reported on this crackdown.)











From the Pedestrian, an Australian deputy prime minister thinks that young voters are a "problem".  (I would suspect that he and the above-mentioned Maltese Commissioner for Children would probably not get along.)

From Gatestone Institute, Armenians are still under attack.

From The Straits Times, eating rice is good for you.






And from Fox News, in 18 cities, 7-Eleven will start to deliver beer.  (Since 7+11=18, I think that the number of cities chosen for this new service is not an accident.)
