Tuesday Tidbits

On a cold and cloudy Tuesday with an expectation of snow, here are some things going on:

From National Review, right-wing commentator Steve Bannon pleads guilty to fraud against donors to the fundraising effort "We Build the Wall".

From FrontpageMag, Hollywood rages on about President Trump, whom they call fascist, but ignore the real fascists.

From Townhall, PBS gets rid of its DEI department.

From The Washington Free Beacon, former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg made the same pledge about taxpayer-funded transgender surgeries for criminals that then-Vice President Harris did.

From the Washington Examiner, the Department of Homeland Security fires four FEMA employees who sent New York City $59 million to house migrants.

From The Federalist, after being removed from power by voters, Democrats use activist judges to thwart Trump's agenda.  (What is this "democracy" you claim to be supporting?)

From American Thinker, getting breathless watching Trump at work.

From MRCTV, congresscritter Maxine Water (D-Cal) threatens the Chief Twit in "bizarre tirade".

From NewsBusters, New Yorker editor David Remnick claims that Trump will turn the U.S. into Russia.  (I suppose that such turning would be the ultimate result of Trump colluding with Russia.)

From Canada Free Press, Canadian politicians throwing tantrums at Trump's tariffs is like a small corner store complaining about Walmart.

From TeleSUR, according to Vice President and Oil Minister Delcy Rodriguez, Venezuela cannot be excluded from the world oil market.

From TCW Defending Freedom, why the U.K. must abolish the BBC, as soon as possible.

From EuroNews, coalition talks between the Austrian parties FPÖ and ÖVP stall, as their respective leaders meet with President Alexander van der Bellen.

From ReMix, Polish presidential candidate Sławomir Mentzen of the party Confederation hits a new high in a new poll.  (If you read Polish, read two related stories at Do Rzeczy.)

From Balkan Insight, Balkan countries are anxious about U.S. President Trump's plan to deport illegal aliens.

From The North Africa Post, the ruling junta in Guinea tightens its grip on power despite protests by opposition groups.

From The New Arab, the new Lebanese government holds its first cabinet meeting.

From EU Today, police in the Swedish region of Stockholm arrest a suspect for allegedly planning terror attacks.

From The Jerusalem Post, the West enables Hamas propaganda, for which the Israeli hostages are paying the price.

From Gatestone Institute, Trump should spearhead nuclear fusion energy.

From Radio Free Asia, China promises measures to boost its declining foreign investment.

From The Stream, evangelicals shame Wheaton College after it deletes a post congratulating its alumnus Russ Vought for being appointed to lead the Office of Management and Budget.

From The Daily Signal, Republicans seek to undo then-President Biden's diversion of global AIDS relief funding to support the promotion of abortion.

From The American Conservative, restraint on both fiscal and foreign policies go hand in hand.

From The Western Journal, on the House floor, congresscritter Nancy Mace (R-SC) calls four men predators, one of whom is an ex-fiancé of hers.

From BizPac Review, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth restores the name of Fort Bragg - sort of.

From The Daily Wire, the Trump administration secures the release of American teacher Marc Fogel from a Russian penal colony.  (That's a type of Trump-Russia collusion which I can support.  The article links to a story in The New York Times, to which you'll have to register if you want to read it.)

From the Daily Caller, according to an investigation, the owner of a defense contractor which supplies parts for fighter jets and missiles has extensive ties to Chinese Communist Party agencies.

From the New York Post, the Coast Guard intercepts an "overloaded" boat carrying 132 migrants from Haiti, and sends them home.

From Breitbart, the establishment media call Trump's purge of the "deep state" a "constitutional crisis".

From Newsmax, according to the aforementioned Pete Hegseth, the U.S. will not send troops to Ukraine.

And from SFGate, two coyotes find their way into a San Francisco MUNI subway tunnel.  (These coyotes are four-legged relatives of the domestic dog, not the two-legged coyotes who smuggle illegal aliens across the U.S. border.)
