Links For A Snowy Day

It's been snowing most of today, from part of a storm that has extended from southern Texas to New England.  December snow is not uncommon here in Maryland, but it's more unusual farther south.  Here are few things going on, mostly having nothing to do with the weather:

Yesterday's snow set a record in Mobile, Alabama.

New York City gets it first snow of the season.

Turkey agrees to take back some refugees from Greece.

The Afghan "teen refugee" who is now on trial for allegedly raping and killing a German girl is actually 33 years old.

The United Kingdom's Leader of the Commons says that the country "will take back control".

Brussels has become a "hell hole".

CNN is in "hot water" for fake news.

Muslims pray in front of the White House to protest President Trump's recognition of Jerusalem as Israel's capital (or as I call it, his acknowledgement of reality).

A European court will decide whether sharia may be used instead of civil law.

French identitarian activists are fined for occupying a mosque site.  (My spell-checker does not like "identitarian".)

Civil servants, your duties are more important than your politics.

And to finish, Trump pays tribute to civil rights heroes.
