Before I get to my regular blogging, I must report on a disturbing development. While I support the work of ICE to arrest and deport illegal aliens, I think they might have overdone it by arresting Speedy Gonzales, the fastest mouse in all Mexico. While ICE may well be within their rights, I don't think that their actions will sit well with fans of Looney Tunes cartoons.
Meanwhile, on a sunny but cold Saturday, here are some things going on:
From National Review, downsizing the federal government.
From FrontpageMag, the murder of Iraqi Assyrian Catholic activist Salwan Momika in Sweden and why burning the Koran matters.
From Townhall, here's what the Army is not telling us about the crash of their Black Hawk helicopter and a civilian airliner.
From The Washington Free Beacon, China plans to disconnect the U.S. and its allies.
From the Washington Examiner, President Trump's Department of Justice fires the FBI agents who worked on cases stemming from the Capitol riot.
From The Federalist, the media don't want Trump administration officials to be "independent", but to be insubordinate.
From American Thinker, the brutal lesson of Auschwitz.
From NewsBusters, Canadian actor Simu Liu, who works and presumably pays taxes in the U.S., is upset that Trump won't make his tax burden increase.
From TCW Defending Freedom, why do some people injured by coronavirus vaccines "wake up", and others don't?
From Gatestone Institute, any deal with the Iranian government would be a grave mistake.
From Radio Free Asia, Vietnamese Communist Party General Secretary To Lam consolidates his power.
From The Stream, 10 reasons why the Pentecostal Church in the U.S. is still growing.
From The American Conservative, the real meaning of the fight over Director of National Intelligence nominee Tulsi Gabbard.
And from The Borowitz Report, in retaliation for Trump's threatened tariffs, Mexico, Canada and China cut off the Chief Twit's supply of ketamine.
