Saturday Stuff

On a cloudy Saturday, here are some things going on:

From National Review, Texas starts transporting illegal aliens to Washington, D.C.

From Townhall, according to Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Mark Milley, it's "possible" that the botched U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan influenced Russian President Putin's decision to invade Ukraine.

From The Washington Free Beacon, several blue states push for expanded abortion on demand.

From the Washington Examiner, Russia's disputed main excuses justifications for its invasion of Ukraine.

From The Federalist, people who hated then-President Trump impeached him for allegedly inciting a riot, but now claim that the riot was premeditated.

From American Thinker, a possible explanation for Disney's war on children.

From LifeZette, does the left suddenly like war?  (I've come to believe that the left's attitude toward war depends to some extent on whether the president is a Republican or Democrat.  Generally speaking, they were very much opposed to President Bush the Younger's war in Iraq, and were indeed joined by a faction of the right, but didn't seem to have much of a problem with President Clinton's war on Serbia or President Obama's actions against Libya.)

From the eponymous site of Drew Berquist, two more coaches join former Miami Dolphins head coach Brian Flores's suit against the NFL.  (via LifeZette)

From NewsBusters, when ABC gushed over communist Cuba.

From Canada Free Press, the Democratic Party has pushed fear, fraud and fascism.

From TCW Defending Freedom, we used to have hangovers, but now it's all the coronavirus.

From Free West Media, a difficult week ends well for the German party AdD.

From EuroNews, the first all-private astronaut crew arrives at the International Space Station.

From ReMix, the German Bundestag rejects mandatory coronavirus vaccination.

From The North Africa Post, the Spanish airline Binter, based in the Canary Islands, launches a new route from the island of Gran Canaria to Fez, Morocco.

From The New Arab, Saudi Arabia plans to allow in a million Hajj pilgrims this year.

From News18, a doctor in the Indian state of Uttar Pradesh is arrested for allegedly forcing an employee to convert to Islam.

From Big News Network, a day ahead of facing a no-confidence vote, Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan kept alleging that a "foreign conspiracy" was behind the effort to oust him.

From the Khaleej Times, two pilgrims get into a fight in the Grand Mosque in Mecca, Saudi Arabia.

From Gatestone Institute, the Biden administration and the E.U. repeat a historical mistake dealing with Iran's mullahs.

From The Stream, an entrapment plot in Michigan by the FBI "collapses in shame and squalor".

From The American Conservative, a Tennessee law requiring congressional candidates to have lived in the state for at least three years faces challenges.  (I personally agree with the spirit of this law, although I acknowledge that the length of the required residence period can be legitimately debated.  I've never liked carpetbaggers, even when they're on my side of the aisle.)

From MassLive, two men in Boston are accused of cruelty to dogs.

From The Western Journal, Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Dwayne Haskins is killed in a traffic accident.  (The article cites a report at Local10, which indicates that the vehicle is a dump truck and that the accident occurred in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, but does not identify Haskins as the victim.)

From BizPac Review, convicted hate crime hoaxer Jussie Smollett raps out his claim of innocence in a new song.

From The Daily Wire, Washington, D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser accuses a pro-life activist of "tampering with fetal remains".  (She apparently is more concerned about the remains of a dead fetus than with the killing itself.)

From the Daily Caller, according to TV host Bill Maher, "the war on jokes must end".

From Breitbart, the number of violent incidents at asylum centers in Belgium has doubled since 2017.

From Newsmax, Israel remains neutral on Russia's invasion of Ukraine.  (If you read Russian, read the story at The Insider, whose name is in English and spelled with the Roman alphabet, although the article's text is in Russian and spelled with the Cyrillic alphabet.)

And from the New York Postduring a fundraiser for Ukraine held in Warsaw, Poland, Julian Lennon publicly performs his father's song Imagine for the first time ever.
