Tuesday Tidings

On a sunny but cold Tuesday, here are some things going on:

From National Review, an editorial against the new border bill.

From FrontpageMag, the left's definition of "justice".

From Townhall, why American right-wing commentator Tucker Carlson is interviewing Russian President Vladimir Putin.

From The Washington Free Beacon, nothing has changed at the University of Pennsylvania since the defenestration of President Liz Magill.

From the Washington Examiner, how Speaker Johnson (R-LA) has put House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) in a tough spot.

From The Federalist, a real border bill would punish the Mexican drug cartels instead of bribing them.

From American Thinker, Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) quietly reneges on his promise to "abolish the TSA".

From MRCTV, beware the Chilean all-female SWAT team.

From NewsBusters, ABC anchor George Stephanopoulos "pleads" with former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie (R) to support President Biden and not run as a third party candidate.

From Canada Free Press, does Biden have a new solution for Israel and the "Hashemite Kingdom of Palestine"?  (The adjacent country of Jordan is officially the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, the Hashemites claiming descent from the Islamic prophet Mohammed and more recently becoming the Jordanian royal family.  Why would this name apply to the Palestinian Arabs?)

From TeleSUR, Brazilian President Lula da Silva inaugurates 1.382 social housing units.

From TCW Defending Freedom, it's the migrants illegally entering the U.K., stupid.

From Snouts in the Trough, the brazen Net Zero liars keep on brazenly lying about Net Zero.  (The article's date is yesterday, but the article is meant for today through Thursday, so I'll let the date slide.)

From VRT NWS, police in Antwerp, Belgium arrest a man who allegedly threatened the city's Jews with an acid attack.

From The Brussels Times, a 70-year-old Belgian man promises to walk through every city and town in Belgium to fight against poverty.

From the NL Times, police arrest two men involved in protests by Dutch farmers for alleged garbage dumping and arson.  

From Dutch News, talks to form a new coalition government for the Netherlands collapse.

From Deutsche Welle, a court in Cologne, Germany bans passages from a biography of former Chancellor Helmut Kohl.

From Polskie Radio, Polish lower-house Speaker Szymon Hołownia discusses regional security while visiting Lithuania.  (The article includes some Tweets indicating that his title is Marszałek, which translates to "marshal".  As far as I can tell, he's not trying to reestablish the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, although some might want to bring back this medieval state.)

From ReMix, Polish farmers announce a nationwide strike to protest E.U. agricultural policies.

From Radio Prague, the 200-year-old Czech glassworks Květná is saved from closure.

From The Slovak Spectator, the Grand Prize of  Jasná, an international wooden sledge race, will run between two cable car stations on Chopok Peak in Slovakia.  (The Slovak word jasná appears to be a cognate of Polish jasna, and thus might mean "bright".)

From EuroNews, is Europe on the way to meeting its bird chopping wind energy targets?

From Voice Of Europe, Bulgarian farmers hold a strike on the border with Romania.

From Balkan Insight, the European Parliament votes to lift Greek europarliamentcritter Eva Kaili's immunity in a fraud case.

From The North Africa Post, Morocco's trade deficit decreases in 2023 due to record exports.

From The New Arab, will the normalization between Israel and some Arab countries survive the war in Gaza?

From the Daily Mail, Kazakhstan gets tough on crimes against children.

From Allah's Willing Executioners, Tunisian housed in an asylum center terrorized the residents of Regensburg, Germany.  (If you read German, read the story at Exxpress.)

From The Jerusalem Post, a grandson of a victim of the 1972 Munich Olympics massacre is assaulted in Berlin.

From Arutz Sheva, the genocide and ethnic cleansing accusations against Israel do not stand up to scrutiny.  (The last four stories come via The Religion Of Peace, which I could not reach yesterday.)

From Gatestone Institute, Biden has "opened the floodgates of Hell".

From The Stream, in opposition to an abortion ballot initiative in Florida.

From The Daily Signal, a Super Bowl with two national anthems is not e pluribus unum.

From The American Conservative, what does "America first" mean?

From The Western Journal, Senator Fake Cherokee (D-MA), in a "painful" attempt to make fun of former President Trump, sings a Taylor Swift song.

From BizPac Review, Fulton County, Georgia District Attorney Fani Willis is hit with a fourth accusation that might disqualify her from prosecuting her case against Trump.

From The Daily Wire, the Department of Health and Human Services claims to have only two pages of scientific evidence for its support of "gender-affirming care".

From the Daily Caller, Republican congresscritters sue an FBI agent for dodging testimony about social media censorship.

From the New York Post, according to Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, his girlfriend, the aforementioned Taylor Swift, is "all-in" with the Chiefs Kingdom.

From Newsmax, according to a poll, most Americans believe that a border wall is needed.

And from Breitbart, country singer Toby Keith goes to the music hall in the sky.
