Wednesday Wanderings

As the sunny but cool weather continues on a Wednesday, here are some things going on:

From National Review, the Republicans keep on snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.  (Whoever made up the joke about the "Polish circular firing squad" misspelled "Republican".)

From FrontpageMag, one out of every five "new jobs" created under President Biden's economy are in government.

From Townhall, Dr. Anthony Fauci again contradicts his own story about the origins of the coronavirus.

From The Washington Free Beacon, Senator Bob Casey (D-PA) hypocritically complains about his opponent Dave McCormick's (R) big donors.  (As I might have said before, Mark Twain's quote about supposing you were an idiot and a member of Congress, but he repeats himself should be modernized to "suppose you're a politician, suppose you're a hypocrite, but I repeat myself".)

From the Washington Examiner, tensions rise among Republican congresscritters after they fail to impeach Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas.

From The Federalist, right-wing commentator Mollie Hemmingway lays out everything wrong with U.S. elections.  (She is the editor-in-chief of TF.)

From American Thinker, the "border bill" would have funded lots of things that the American people don't want.

From MRCTV, Florida Democratic Party Chairwoman Nikki Fried avoids a question about whether transgender women can get pregnant.

From NewsBusters, Rhode Island state assemblycritter Brian Newberry (R) renounces his support for a censorship and indoctrination program funded by the Biden administration.

From Canada Free Press, remembering the "Reagan revolution" in this year's election.

From TeleSUR, while visiting Israel, President Javier Milei promises to move the Argentinian embassy to Jerusalem.

From TCW Defending Freedom, where are the modern-day Raoul Wallenbergs standing up against tyranny?

From Sovereignty, former Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki invites the Hungarian party Fidesz and the French party National Rally to join his Law and Justice party's group in the European Parliament.  (I recently found this source and wanted to post something from it yesterday, along with something from Polskie Radio, but it did not publish anything yesterday.  It appears that Sovereignty does not post articles every day, but I will try to link something from there when I can.)

From Daily News Hungary, tens of thousands of needed guest workers are not able to enter Hungary.  (If you read Hungarian, read related stories at 444, Portfolio and Telex.)

From Hungary Today, according to Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, no money in the world can force Hungary into accepting either migrants or LGBTQ propaganda.

From About Hungary, according to State Secretary Tristan Azbej of the Hungarian foreign ministry, Hungary must not forget its African brethren in need.

From ReMix, according to Hungarian Ministry of the Interior official Bence Rétvári, Hungary is one of the world's 20 safest countries, due to its immigration policies.

From Russia Today, Russia carries out missile and drone strikes against Ukrainian military and industrial targets.

From Sputnik International, Russian spokesman Dmitry Peskov explains why President Vladimir Putin agreed to be interviewed by American right-wing journalist Tucker Carlson.

From Novinite, Bulgarian and American officials discuss strategies for energy security.

From The Sofia Globe, Bulgarian National Assembly Speaker Rossen Zhelyazkov and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy hold talks in Kyiv.

From Radio Bulgaria, 60 percent of children in Bulgaria are born outside of marriage.

From EuroNews, Ukrainian women protest against a mobilization bill.

From Voice Of Europe, getting a visa to the Schengen area is gonna cost ya a bit more this year, pilgrim.

From Balkan Insight, Serbia denies that its small budget cut for the National Council of Albanians is discriminatory.

From The North Africa Post, Morocco rebukes South Africa for allegedly meddling in the Sahara issue.

From The New Arab, Egypt denies fortifying the Rafah border crossing between its own territory and Gaza.

From Gatestone Institute, "the Sunday people" are targeted with genocide and persecution.

From The Stream, five reasons why an environmentalist gave up on "green" policies.

From The Daily Signal, left-leaning black pastors are misguided on the war in Gaza.

From The American Conservative, presidential candidate and former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley (R) has gone "all-in on the climate cult".

From The Western Journal, in the Nevada Republican presidential primary, Haley comes in behind "none of the above".

From BizPac Review, more on the aforementioned Mollie Hemmingway pointing out what's wrong with U.S. elections.

From The Daily Wire, U.S. drone strikes reportedly send multiple Iran-backed terrorist leaders to their virgins.

From the Daily Caller, Democrat congresscritters wheel in their colleague Al Green (D-TX) so that he can vote against impeaching the aforementioned Alejandro Mayorkas.  (Good or bad or happy or sad....oh wait, different Al Green.  Never mind.)

From the New York Post, Missouri Secretary of State candidate Valentina Gomez (R) burns books.

From Breitbart, Speaker Johnson (R-LA) calls Biden's speech blaming former President Trump and Republicans for the border crisis "offensive".  (I largely agree with him, since the situation at the border has clearly gotten worse since Biden took office.  This is just one more example of a politician being a hypocrite, if you'll forgive me for repeating myself.)

From Newsmax, Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) faults the aforementioned border bill for having a provision forbidding states from suing the Biden administration in local courts.

From The Hill, there's no shortage of Republicans willing to serve in a potential second Trump administration.  (via Newsmax)

And from the Genesius Times, "none of the above" wins the aforementioned Nevada Republican primary.  (The GT claims to be satirical, but sometimes the line between satire and truth gets very thin.)
