From The Times Of Israel, Iranian state media tries to pass off video footage of a fire in Chile as destruction in Israel inflicted by Iranian rockets.

From The Washington Free Beacon, a review of a book about Republican foreign policy showing parallels between Presidents Reagan and Trump.

From the Washington Examiner, Fetterman advises Trump to "focus on his time in court" instead of on Pennsylvania.  (It's interesting that the man whose brain some of us were wondering about has apparently become the most reasonable Democrat in the U.S.)

From American Thinker, leftists push for gun control after every mass shooting, but miss their real cause.

From NewsBusters, when the media went after the Tea Party movement.

A Park Named What?

There are some things which are so strange that you realize that if you discuss them, you won't be believed if you don't provide any evidence.  While driving back to Maryland from Indiana, I decided to go through southern Ohio and see for myself something I had learned about on the interwebz.  It's a park east of Circleville, OH with an ominous-sounding name that in a sense shouldn't be.

One Last Look

Today I drove all the way back from southern Indiana to my home in Maryland.  Just north of French Lick, where I stayed, is another small town called West Baden Springs.  After passing this statue of a tatanka a number of times, I decided that I must take a picture of it on my way out of the area.

After I took the pic, it was time to get back on the road again.

Thursday Things

From FrontpageMag, how Democrats in Chicago tried to steal an election - in 1864.

From Townhall, former NFL Hall of Famer, actor, Hertz spokesman, and acquitted murder suspect O.J. Simpson has passed away from cancer.  (When his trial for the murder of his ex-wife Nicole and her friend Ron Goldman was starting up, I wondered what sort of people would constitute his peers, for the purpose of being on his jury.  I figured that his jury should have consisted of professional athletes worthy of Hall of Fame status, and mediocre actors.)

From The Washington Free Beacon, now that the coronavirus pandemic is over with, Harvard University brings back standard testing.

From the Washington Examiner, according to Senator Josh Hawley (R-MO), Code Pink "astroturf wackos" should be called out.

From American Thinker, a salute to two female authors.

From Breitbart, according to Senator Spartacus (D-NJ), former President Trump has created unimaginable "chaos and suffering" in the U.S.
