Tuesday Tidings

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

From National Review, why does Russian President Putin always seem to outfox American presidents?

From FrontpageMag, the West's strange disconnect between the wars in Ukraine and Israel.

From Townhall, neither the police or the media will name the Kansas City shooting suspects because they're under 18.  (On the other hand, the media took no such precaution for 9-year-old Kansas City Chiefs fan who was wrongly accused of racism for wearing face paint in team's colors.)

From The Washington Free Beacon, Senator Martin Heinrich (D-NM) had a problem with "special interest lobbyists" until those from the electric bus industry started donating to his campaign.

From the Washington Examiner, the site Politico is surprised to discover the existence of social conservatism.

From The Federalist, the censors will be at it again.

From American Thinker, former President Trump is right about NATO.

From MRCTV, a high school girls' basketball team forfeits after three of its players are injured in a game against a team that includes a trans player.  (That's right, the team with the transgirl did not forfeit.  The team whose players got hurt forfeited.)

From NewsBusters, Shark Tank host Kevin O'Leary schools CNN over the New York judge's ruling against Trump.

From Canada Free Press, some people deserve to be disbarred.

From TeleSUR, Salvadorian opposition parties request that the legislative elections held this past February 4th are annulled.

From TCW Defending Freedom, U.K. Prime Minister Rishi Sunak should not bring back his predecessor Boris Johnson.

From EuroNews, why does WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange face extradition to the U.S.?

From ReMix, E.U. leaders criticize Belgian europarliamentcritter Tom Vandendriessche for calling its mass migration policy an "organized repopulation" of Europe.

From Balkan Insight, journalists from Balkan countries call for the release of Julian Assange.

From The North Africa Post, Mali, Niger and Burkina Faso, after leaving the regional bloc ECOWAS, confirm their plans to form a new confederation.

From The New Arab, tensions rise in the Iraqi province of Babylon after a pro-Iran militia assassinates a leader in the Sadrist Movement.  (I thought that the Sadrists, or at least their leader Moqtada al-Sadr, were backed by Iran.  As it has turned out, that's no longer true.)

From Gatestone Institute, over 365 million Christians face persecution and discrimination for their faith.

From The Stream, Christians need to get serious if we want to challenge the left-wing culture.

From The Daily Signal, Secretary of State Antony Blinken forbids his staff to use gender-specific language.

From The American Conservative, did Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador receive money from a drug cartel?

From The Western Journal, the White House is upset because The New York Times has pointed out that President Biden is old.

From BizPac Review, senatorial candidate Kari Lake (R-AZ) tells Republicans to "take a joke", but Meghan McCain, daughter of the late Senator John McCain (R-AZ) isn't having it.

From The Daily Wire, DEI training at the IRS includes material from an academic who called for the "death of whiteness".

From the Daily Caller, is the U.S. military running out of Tomahawk cruise missiles?

From ABC News, two adult suspects have been arrested in connection with the aforementioned Kansas City parade shooting.  (Yes, they have been named.  The story comes via the Daily Caller.)

From the New York Post, one man is arrested after a confrontation between NYPD officers and illegal aliens migrants at a shelter on Randall's Island in New York City.  (For more information on Randall's Island, go to its website.)

From Breitbart, producer Rob Reiner's new movie God & Country flops.

From Newsmax, Senator Joe Manchin (D-WV) declines to indicate whom he will support in the upcoming presidential election.

And from the Genesius Times, Biden hires a new sign language interpreter who already knows one common sign like the back of his hand.

****
As a bonus, I offer something that I regard as too good to pass up, even though it was published yesterday.  From the Daily Caller News Foundation, during the Civil War, President Lincoln granted a pardon to an ancestor of his current successor.
