Thursday Things

On a sunny and mild Thursday, here are some things going on:

From National Review, the Senate confirms Robert Kennedy Jr. as Secretary of Health and Human Services.

From FrontpageMag, "how USAID laundered money to the Taliban" in Afghanistan.

From Townhall, a hearing by the House Foreign Affairs Committee brings out the "jaw-dropping" receipts against USAID.

From The Washington Free Beacon, the University of Michigan finds a new disguise for DEI.

From the Washington Examiner, Senator Tina Smith (D-Min) announces that she will not run for reelection in 2026.

From The Federalist, President Trump and Vice President Vance are not defying the Constitution, but are following it.

From American Thinker, [bleep] no, we do not regret voting for Trump.

From MRCTV, congresscritter Jan Schakowsky (D-IL) finds an interesting excuse for why few women go into manufacturing.

From NewsBusters, U.S. Privacy and Civil Liberties Board official Beth A. Williams blasts "censorship under the guise of national security".

From Canada Free Press, a warning for Trump if he really wants to make Canada the 51st U.S. state.

From TeleSUR, according to Interior Minister Diosdado Cabello, Venezuela's "far-right" opposition was involved in terror operation.

From TCW Defending Freedom, some "animal crackers" in the U.K.

From EuroNews, at least 28 people are injured in an alleged car ramming attack in Munich, Germany.

From Free West Media, German coalition politics is a shot to the foot.

From ReMix, Germany dumps migrants into Poland as the media goes Sergeant Schultz.  (Or you could say in Polish, media nie mówi niczego.)

From Balkan Insight, Serbian authorities arrest four inspectors for alleged negligence in connection with a fire at a retirement home in the Belgrade section of Barajevo.

From The North Africa Post, Morocco's General Directorate of Territorial Surveillance helps Spain's Guardia Civil to seize two tons of hashish.

From The New Arab, a look at Egypt's plan for Gaza, offered as an alternative to that of U.S. President Trump.

From the Daily Mail, more on the aforementioned alleged car ramming attack in Munich.

From Arutz Sheva, the West ignores atrocities committed in Sudan because they can't be blamed on any Jews.

From Gatestone Institute, yes, resettling Gazans is both right and workable.

From Radio Free Asia, smog in China may have contributed to deaths from lung cancer.

From The Stream, Pope Francis skews both scripture and history to oppose Trump's deportations of illegal aliens.  (The article notes how Vatican City recently increased the penalty for illegal entry, which can include fines, prison sentences, and expulsion.  The pope seems to think that he has a right to protect his country, but the U.S. government has no right to protect the U.S.  By the way, yours truly visited the Vatican in 2004 and had to go through airport-style security.  If anyone can explain why the Vatican has the right to require me to go through a port of entry, but the U.S. government should not have this right when foreigners enter our country, be my guest.  OK, rant over.)

From The Daily Signal, according to a poll, the Chief Twit is far more popular than a certain left-wing billionaire.

From The American Conservative, Trump should discontinue the Diversity Visa lottery.

From The Western Journal, two startling finds are made inside the Chinese spy balloon that drifted across the U.S. two years ago, making this incident far worst than stated by then-President Biden.

From BizPac Review, congresscritter Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) is mocked for alleging that Vance is missing in action.

From The Daily Wire, the aircraft carrier USS Harry S. Truman with the cargo shiop vessel Besiktas-M in the Mediterranean Sea near Port Said, Egypt.

From the Daily Caller, the Senate confirms former White House official Brooke Rollins as Secretary of Agriculture.

From the New York Post, while in Germany, Mr. and Mrs. Vance visit the Dachau concentration camp and meet a 97-year-old Holocaust survivor.

From Breitbart, the nomination of Kash Patel for FBI Director passes through the Senate Judiciary Committee and goes to full Senate.

From Newsmax, according to congresscritter Erin Houchin (R-IN), Secretary of Education nominee Linda McMahon is the "right person" to dismantle the Department of Education.  (Imagine being put in charge of an organization for the purpose of destroying it.)

And from The Betoota Advocate, on their new pet-friendly services, Virgin will allow all passengers to bark and [bleep] on the plane's floor.
