Saturday Solstice Stuff - Part 1

On the day of this year's summer solstice, here are some things going on:



From The Washington Free Beacon, the world's oldest hate makes yet another comeback.

From the Washington Examiner, thugs protesters in San Francisco topple statues of President U.S. Grant and Francis Scott Key.  (Wasn't Grant, during his time as an army general, one of the main people fighting against slavery?)


From American Thinker, BLM is "at war with America".

















From Dutch News, Dutch soccer players boycott a TV show after a pundit compares a BLM campaigner to the folk character Zwarte Piet.  (If you read Dutch, read the story at NOS and a related story at AD.)



From Voice Of Europe, figures show that most migrants in Germany have little will to integrate.  (If you read German, read the story at Neue Osnabrücker Zeitung.)





From Daily News Hungary, who in Hungary is permitted to own a gun?  (If you read Hungarian, read a related story at Népszava.)




From Sputnik International, a bear visits Sochi, Russia.











From SwissInfo, Swiss scientists identify a new type of bacteria in permafrost on the Schafberg above the town of Pontresina.  (Pontresina is where my tour group boarded the Bernina Express train in 2015, which means that I might have gotten a look at the Schafberg.  See this blog's archives for June of 2015.)





From Free West Media, some people in Iceland want to remove a statue of their country's founder Ingólfr Arnarson.  (If you read Icelandic, read the story at Hringbaut.)




From the Capitol Hill Seattle Blog, two people are shot, one fatally, in the CHOP.  (via The Last Refuge)
