Saturday Links

On a warm mostly sunny Saturday, here are some things going on:

From National Review, Cook County, Illinois Assistant State's Attorney Jim Murphy steps down.

From Townhall, congresscritter Dan Bishop (R-NC) introduces a resolution to declare Critical Race Theory a national threat.

From The Washington Free Beacon, a medical board injects DEI into medical education.

From the Washington Examiner, President Biden tests positive for the coronavirus in a "rebound" infection.

From The Federalist, to best understand the weirdness of Democrats, listen to them talk about law enforcement.

From American Thinker, Biden "quietly" allows gaps in the wall to be filled in Arizona, but not in Texas.

From LifeZette, semantics won't hide Biden's recession.

From NewsBusters, Morning Joe has double standards about presidents and Saudi Arabia.

From Canada Free Press, the January 6th jig is up.

From TeleSUR, Colombian President-elect Gustavo Petro wants to resume peace talks with the National Liberation Army in Cuba.

From TCW Defending Freedom, mass hypnosis and how it could lead to tyranny.

From Snouts in the Trough, diversity is the U.K.'s strength, but crime is its specialty.

From Free West Media, asylum applications in Austria have increased threefold since last year.

From EuroNews, 444 migrants arrive in Taranto, Italy after three days on the Mediterranean sea.

From The North Africa Post, under King Mohammed VI, Morocco has been a "model of inter-faith coexistence".

From The New Arab, supporters of Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr vow to stay inside the parliament building in Baghada, Iraq.  (For comparison, the January 6th rioters were removed on January 6th.)

From Gatestone Institute, the E.U.'s shameful appeasement of the Iranian mullahs.

From The Stream, health care going woke contributes to the spread of monkeypox.

From The American Conservative, Hungarian Prime Minister Orban and "defending the indefensible".

From The Western Journal, a right-wing blogger files suit to make public the names of the late Jeffrey Epstein's clients.  (His henchwoman Ghislaine Maxwell was convicted of sex trafficking.  That would mean that she trafficked the victims to her and Epstein's clients.  Who, then, are those clients?)

From BizPac Review, the House narrowly passes an assault weapons ban, with the help of two Republicans and a "definition tweak".  (The two Republicans may have helped to prove what I like to say about their party's ability to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory, which should not be underestimated.)

From The Daily Wire, an openly Christian UNC soccer player is sidelined for refusing to wear an LGBT pride jersey.  (Apparently, "diversity" and "inclusion" do not apply to people whose beliefs are diverse from the LGBT ideology.)

From the Daily Caller, congresscritter Jesús García (D-IL) claims that a profanity-laced Tweet on his account was "unauthorized".

From Breitbart, according to a poll, inflation is causing 4 in 10 Americans to cut back on groceries.

From Newsmax, New York Governor Kathy Hochul (D) declares an emergency over monkeypox.

And from the New York Post, an Austrian woman returning from a vacation in Croatia finds some unpleasant stowaways in her suitcase.  (Fortunately, I had no such problem when I visited Croatia in 2007.  If you read German, read the story at OÖNachrichten.)
