As March arrives on a sunny Wednesday, here are some things going on:
From National Review, Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot (D) loses her bid for reelection, for which she blames racism and sexism.
From FrontpageMag, some basis questions which the Democrats can't answer - or won't.
From Townhall, Attorney General Merrick Garland gives a "curious" explanation of why Mexican drug cartels aren't classified as terrorists.
From The Washington Free Beacon, according to Republican hawk congresscritters, the only thing cut from the military will be "wokeness".
From the Washington Examiner, who are the two Chicago Democrats running to replace the aforementioned Mayor Lightfoot?
From The Federalist, if you take the elevator to go just one floor, you don't deserve to have functional legs. (At one place where I used to work, there were times when someone just about ran to the elevator to go just one floor. For someone who can move that fast, there were stairs. I also came to realize that there are two kinds of people for whom such a one-floor ride is justified, either someone carrying an important load or someone with a medical condition. A pregnant woman, er, I mean, uh, birthing person would fit into both categories.)
From American Thinker, the case of congresscritter George Santos (R-NY) exposes media double standards about lies. (I believe that I've said this before and will probably say it again. If telling lies is a disqualification for public office, there would be no one left to govern us.)
From CNS News, the Biden administration cracks down on U.S. companies which exploit child migrant labor. (This is one move by the Biden administration that I can support.)
From NewsBusters, CNN climate reporter Bill Weir travels 6,600 miles to Ushuaia, Argentina to decry fossil fuels.
From Canada Free Press, Disney's "self-governing" district is caught in its own "woke mouse trap".
From TeleSUR, Argentina passes a law that makes retiring easier.
From TCW Defending Freedom, how do British supermarkets sell pineapple at such low prices?
From Free West Media, UNESCO wants the internet to be regulated.
From EuroNews, at least 40 people have died in a train collision near Tempi, Greece. (The article spells the town's name "Tempe", like the city in Arizona, but GoogleMaps spells it "Tempi". Must be something in the transliteration from the Greek alphabet.)
From Euractiv, the Finnish parliament votes overwhelmingly to join NATO.
From ReMix, an Algerian man and a Tunisian man are arrested for allegedly throwing a man under a train in Pforzheim, Germany for not giving them a cigarette. (If you read German, read the story at PZ-News.)
From Balkan Insight, a Turkish couple with ties to exiled preacher Fetullah Gülen facing deportation to Kosovo are granted asylum in Switzerland.
From The North Africa Post, according to Foreign Minister Nabil Ammar, Tunisia will not apologize for allegedly "racist" statements made by President Kais Saied about African migrants.
From The New Arab, Ivory Coast and Guinea plan to bring their citizens in Tunisia back home.
From OpIndia, Pakistanis troll actress Ushna Shah for looking "too Indian" at her wedding.
From Gatestone Institute, the World Economic Forum's "AI enslavement" wants you.
From the Colombo Page, Sri Lanka and Indonesia will sign a Preferential Trade Agreement.
From the Daily Mirror, according to the chairman of the Sri Lanka Atomic Energy Board, Sri Lanka will have a nuclear power plant in the near future.
From Raajje, the Maldivian government has spent 1.1 billion rufiyaa on public sector investment programs.
From The Straits Times, Singaporean employers must verify the educational qualification of Employment Pass applicants starting on September 1st.
From Tempo(dot)Co, Indonesian President Joko Widodo sets the stone for the groundbreaking to start construction of a hydroelectric power plant to be built by an Indonesian-Malaysian consortium.
From Free Malaysia Today, two transport experts back the Malaysian government's decision to build a new airport in the district of Kulim.
From the Borneo Post, planters in the Malaysian state of Sabah appeal against the reintroduction of a property tax.
From Vietnam Plus, Norway is willing to share with Vietnam its experiences about offshore bird choppers.
From the Taipei Times, Taiwanese President Tsai Ing-wen commemorates the heroes and victims of the 228 incident. (The 228 incident, also called the February 28 incident, was an anti-government uprising that was violently put down by the Taiwanese government, starting on February 28th, 1947.)
From The Korea Herald, South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol tries to reboot relations with Japan. (Former Senator (D-NY)/Secretary of State Hillary Clinton might have a reset button that he can use.)
From The Mainichi, a foreign cruise ship becomes the first such vessel to dock in Japan in about three years.
From The Stream, in defense of criticizing false teachers.
From The Daily Signal, the aforementioned Merrick Garland offers a strange excuse pro-abortion vandals who attack pro-life pregnancy centers.
From The American Conservative, Mr. Bill's Lewinsky scandal was immaterial - or was it?
From The Western Journal, even President Biden is fed up with himself these days.
From BizPac Review, China warns the Chief Twit against pushing the lab leak theory.
From The Daily Wire, the affluent area of Buckhead moves closer to seceding from Atlanta, Georgia.
From the Daily Caller, a number of conservative organizations write a letter urging key Senators to oppose the nomination Gigi Sohn for FCC commissioner.
From the New York Post, according to a study, the keto and paleo diets might be the unhealthiest and least environmentally friendly ways to lose weight.
From Breitbart, the International Atomic Energy Agency confirms that it has found particles of 83.7 percent enriched uranium. (Uranium is "enriched" by containing more U235, the isotope needed in order to make a nuclear explosion or other fission reactions. On the other hand, "depleted" uranium has more U238, which is used to make armor and cannon shells. Even so, U238 is still radioactive.)
From Newsmax, the Chinese app TikTok sets new default screen time limits for minors.
And from the HuffPost, on Twitter, Merriam-Webster asks for some non-English words, and gets some "awesome" responses.
