Friday Fuss

On a cool and cloudy Friday, here are some things going on:

From National Review, President Biden announces 500 new sanctions on Russia after the death of dissident Alexei Navalny.  (Has the imposition of sanctions ever resulted in the imposer's demands being met by the sanctioned?)

From FrontpageMag, the cases against former President Trump show "blue laws for red citizens".

From Townhall, in the San Diego sector of the southern border, the number of illegal aliens from China exceeds the number from Mexico.  (If illegal immigration to the U.S. is caused by poverty, as has been claimed, how do these Chinese people have the means to travel the thousands of miles from China to northern Mexico?  The article quotes from, but does not link to, a story in Fox News.)

From The Washington Free Beacon, congresscritter Ruben Gallego (D-AZ) claims that he's "not on the hook" to lobbyists, but sponsors legislation supported by his wife, who is - you guessed it - a lobbyist.

From the Washington Examiner, CPAC attendees think that the Democratic nominee for president will be former First Lady Michelle Obama.

From The Federalist, the Stasi isn't just for the former East Germany any more.

From American Thinker, the white boy who had no privilege.

From MRCTV, encounters between the Border Patrol and illegal migrants "plummet" in Texas and "surge" in Arizona and California.

From NewsBustersKansas Attorney General Kris Kobach takes on the FAA for making diversity more important than safety.

From Canada Free Press, the WEF had better keep its paws off our pets.  (Is it me, or does WEF leader Klaus Schwab look a bit like the James Bond villain Ernst Stavro Blofeld?  Come to think of it, Blofeld is often seen sitting and petting a cat, with his own face turned away from the viewer.)

From TeleSUR, wildfires in the Amazon region threaten the Yanomami people in the Brazilian state of Roraima.

From TCW Defending Freedom, asking the U.K.'s Met Office to retract a lie.

From Snouts in the Trough, no, stupid, it's not the economy.  (The article was published yesterday, but because I did not make a regular post yesterday, I've decided to link it today.  The title refers to Mr. Bill's 1992 campaign slogan, and gives him a well-deserved swipe.)

From EuroNews, former Austrian Chancellor Sebastian Kurz is convicted of making false statements to a parliamentary inquiry.

From Voice Of Europe, interim results from the Russian-Ukrainian war.

From ReMix, a center for servicing Abrams tanks opens in PoznaƄ, Poland.

From Balkan Insight, the U.S. blacklists four Serbian companies for allegedly supporting the Russian military.

From The North Africa Post, when Mauritania's president visits Algeria, one of his bodyguards is killed.

From The New Arab, Egypt expands its wall on the border with Gaza and a possible refugee camp for Gazans.

From RAIR Foundation USA, pro-terrorism protesters storm the Flemish parliament in Brussels, Belgium.  (The Flemish parliament is the legislature for the Belgian commune of Flanders.)

From Gatestone Institute, Palestinian leaders have brought a new nakba to the people of Gaza.

From The Stream, programming AI and indoctrinating children.

From The Daily Signal, what federal health agencies are not saying about coronavirus vaccines.

From The American Conservative, Democrats pay former Governor Nikki Haley (R-SC) to stay in the presidential race.

From The Western Journal, Trump's legal team reveals phone records which could cast doubt on Fulton County, Georgia District Attorney Fani Willis's and special prosecutor Nathan Wade's story about their relationship.

From BizPac Review, with an "overwhelmed" migrant center closing, illegal aliens might be sent directly into the streets of San Diego.

From The Daily Wire, the company Google tries to deal with internal antisemitism.

From the Daily Caller, human resources czars try to diversify federal government agencies, which costs taxpayers millions.

From Breitbart, Trump promises to protect Christians.

From Newsmax, according to congresscritter Claudia Tenney (R-NY), it's "troubling" that Democrats are clinging to Biden.

And from the New York Post, golfer Paige Spiranac offers a "leave Charlie Woods alone" moment.
