Thursday Links

It's a new month, and the new stories keep coming in.  I'll start today's list with two stories about people being penalized for nothing more than telling the truth, and will continue from there.

From Voice Of Europe, British Journalist Tommy Robinson gets suspended from Twitter for pointing out that most of the "grooming gang" perpetrators are Muslim.

From Breitbart London, French politician Marine Le Pen has been indicted for placing images of violence by ISIS on Twitter.  Si vous lisez français, lisez plus à L'Express.



From the NL Times, due to cold weather, the Dutch go skating.  (Should they be thanking my SUV?)

From InSerbia, the E.U. urges Kosovo to ratify their border agreement with Montenegro.  (The name "Montenegro" means "black mountain" in Spanish.  The Montenegrins call their country "Crna Gora", which means "black mountain" in their dialect of Serbo-Croatian.)

From WestMonster, according to a poll put out by former Prime Minister Tony Blair, most Brits want to go through with Brexit.


From Sputnik International, European Council President Donald Tusk warns that Brexit will lead to a hard border with Ireland.

From Breitbart's Big Hollywood, will celebrities who support gun control stop making movies in which they portray armed characters?

From the Los Angeles Times, the U.S. ambassador to Mexico resigns.



From The Northlines, a Bangla Deshi woman, after surviving being stoned, kills herself with poison.

From Middle East Eye, Turkey's state broadcaster has banned over 200 songs for being "immoral".

From The Federalist, Representative Adam Schiff (D-Cal) concedes that there is still no evidence that candidate Trump or his campaign colluded with any Russians.

From the Dallas News, a park in Corsicana, Texas might get its gorilla statue back.

From The Daily Caller, when it comes to oil drilling, Exxon will stop colluding with Russia.  The article cites the Wall Street Journal, which you'll have to pay to read.

From Twitchy, Senator Chuck Schumer (D-NY) gets slammed for opposing one of President Trump's judicial employees for being white.  (The last time I checked, Chuck was still white, too.)

From Philly(dot)com, a Massachusetts man has been arrested for allegedly sending out five letters containing white powder, include one which sent Vanessa Trump to the hospital.




From The Roanoke Times, a Chinese man who had been enrolled at Virginia Tech and charged with using a gun not allowed for non-U.S. citizens, has been allowed to leave jail on bond.

From the Tampa Bay Times, the couple whose "dream boat" recently sank are back on the water.  (via the New York Post)

From The Sun, a young British man suffers from something which I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy.  (via the New York Post)

And from Backpacker, some wet weather phenomena.
