Wednesday Links

Here are some things going on, starting with the latest bomb threat (with commentary from yours truly):

From Russia Today, trains were halted today in Salzburg, Austria due to a bomb alert.

From the Express, the worst country in which to be a Christian is (click to find out).

From National Review, some judicial overreach.

From Hungary Journal, the Hungarian government gets some support from my neck of the woods.  (via Voice Of Europe)

From The Daily Caller, only 13 percent of polled voters think that Fire and Fury is credible.

From FrontpageMag, a leaked memo shows why Democrats support DACA.  (I'm pretty much convinced that if DACA recipients came from ethnic groups whose American citizen members supported Republicans or leaned right, the Dems would want them to be treated in the same manner as the Clinton administration treated Elian Gonzales.)

From The Guardian, a Spanish woman testifies in a Moroccan court for allegedly colluding with human traffickers.  (The migrants going into Europe are not simply migrating.  They are being trafficked.)

From Breitbart London, an ISIS sympathizer in London planned to bomb "smart people".  (Whether he could find any, of course, is another matter.  The story cites The Times, which is behind a paywall.)

From Bloomberg, Czech President Zeman pledges to continue supporting Prime Minister Babis.

From Sputnik International, the E.U. has warned that some business may be shut down if there is no deal over Brexit.

From Voice Of Europe, according to a German study, almost 30 percent of Muslims "would fight and die for Islam".  (If you read German, read more at Welt.)

From Politico, the new Austria interior minister promises "very very tough asylum policies".  (via Voice Of Europe)

From El PaĆ­s, two leaders of the Catalan separatist movement each take a step back.

From The Local CH, President Trump will attend the economic conference in Davos, Switzerland.

From the NL Times, the new U.S. ambassador to the Netherlands won't retract his story that Dutch politicians were set on fire.

From Al Arabiya, a senior Iranian cleric goes to Germany for medical treatment.

From the Greek Reporter, the Greek parliament allows Muslims to have "optional" sharia.

From Reuters, in Tunisia, 237 people are arrested in connection with attacks on police stations, government buildings, and a Jewish school.

From Townhall, "temporary" should really mean "temporary".

From CNN, Congressman Darrell Issa says "enough for one lifetime".

From ABC13, the "Snapchat shooter" appears in court.  (The story comes via the New York Post.  He is accused of shooting other than in the photographic sense.)

From Page Six, the Weiners are not getting divorced, after all.

From RedState, the government of Seattle learns about trying to dictate people's lives.

And from CNET, I'm not saying it's aliens, but something even stranger.

UPDATE:  From the Daily News, the Weiners are still getting divorced, but it will be settled out of court, to protect their young son.  (via The Daily Caller)
