Friday Phenomena

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

From National Review, it's been a bad week for the defenders and supporters of Hamas.

From Townhall, another Republican congresscritter signs on to out Speaker Johnson (R-LA).

From The Washington Free Beacon, an Arab-Israeli journalist is assaulted at Colombia Universtity, which forces him to cancel his speech.

From the Washington Examiner, Papua New Guineans do not appreciate President Biden's claim that his uncle, after being shot down by the Japanese during World War II, was subsequently eaten by cannibals.  (I wonder if Biden's uncle knew former President Obama's uncle, whom he wrongly claimed help liberate Auschwitz.)

From The Federalist, no, BeyoncĂ©'s newest album Cowboy Carter is not country music.  (I've come to believe that much of what is called "country music" these days is really mid-tempo rock and roll with a country instrument, such as a steel guitar, a banjo or a fiddle, thrown in.)

From MRCTV, five high school female athletes in West Virginia refuse to throw the shot put against a biological male.

From NewsBusters, media networks omit the aforementioned claim from Biden that his uncle was eaten by cannibals.

From Canada Free Press, the biased media helps the Senate dismiss the impeachment of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas.

From TeleSUR, Ecuador endures a second day of its energy crisis.

From TCW Defending Freedom, the "faked figures" which drove the world's reaction to the coronavirus.

From Snouts in the Trough, is mRNA merely the latest in a series of disasters imposed by ignorant politicians?

From EuroNews, Ukraine claims to have shot down a Russian bomber, which Russia denies.

From Voice Of Europe, Sweden will close airspace above and boost security around the city of Malmö during this year's Eurovision Song Contest.

From ReMix, the number of unofficial mosques in Rome used to preach Islamic extremism doubles in ten years.  (How many unofficial churches are there in Mecca?)

From Balkan Insight, Republika Srpska, the Serb-dominated component of Bosnia and Herzegovina, passes new laws in defiance of High Representative Christian Schmidt.  (His office was created by the Dayton Agreement, which ended the Bosnian War.)

From The North Africa Post, the FAO warns of increasing hunger in Africa, despite its agricultural potential.

From The New Arab, KFC's attempt to do business in Algeria ends over its alleged support for Israel.

From Breitbart, Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) lets the aforementioned Speaker Johnson have a piece of his mind.

From Newsmax, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky tells NATO that he needs at least seven Patriot air defense missile systems.

And from the Genesius Times, several January 6th defendants are released after claiming that they were "just protesting for Gaza".
