Thank you for sharing this potpourri of news. I don’t remember why I subscribed but I enjoyed reading it! The article about Iran prohibiting pets was interesting. I vacationed in Turkey and boy do they love cats! Even dogs are treated well. You will frequently see dogs with tags on their ears, which means that they are fixed and medically checked. Animal control doesn’t push adoption like the ASPCA does, perhaps because most people live in apartments. Turkey is of course a majority Muslim country.

Donald Trump gave an opening "speech" at this gab-fest.

Another well known "religious" conservative is a good friend of Vance and promotes him as really beaut bonza first class chap - his name is Rod Dreher. Rod has attended previous CPAC gab-fests is most probably still very sympathetic with the (benighted) ideology that is promoted there.
