Various And Sundry

Some things going on out there:

The right-wing governor of Slovakia's Banska Bystrica region loses his bid for re-election.  (I have visited the region's namesake city.)



The British will protect their Christmas markets from possible terror attacks.

The invaders migrants keep arriving in Greece.

One invader migrant picked on the wrong Greek girl.

The Greek foreign minister does not want open borders.

Australian imam:  hijab yes, bracelets no.


Former Catalan leader Puigdemont and four others turn themselves in.


A British woman is attacked by five men who "appeared to be Asian".  ("Asian" is the British code word for "Muslim", which is technically correct since many British Muslims come from Asian countries such as Pakistan.  But on my side of the Pond, the word has replaced "Oriental" for describing people from the Far East.)

Police in Pakistani seek help from clerics to oppose honor killings.

The War On Terror has cost a lot of money.





Special Counsel Mueller reportedly has enough evidence to charge former national security adviser Michael Flynn and his son in connection to alleged Russian intervention in the 2016 election.


There is another story of which I have learned, and which I believe should be reported in a separate post due to its tragic nature.  Stand by.
