Greek islands declare state of emergency after record snowfall
Several Greek islands, otherwise known for their sunny warm weather, grappling with record snowfall and freezing cold.
The storm dropped more than two meters (about 7 ft) of snow on three islands in the Aegean , hitting Euboia, Alonnisos and Skopelos the hardest and forcing Greek authorities to declare a state of emergency.
Communication lines and roads are out of action on several islands and schools remain closed in many parts of the country.
The cold is forecast to continue, spreading to eastern Macedonia, Thrace, Halkidiki, the northern Aegean, the Sporades and across Crete.

Deadly Deep Freeze Gripping Europe
Blizzards and dangerously low temperatures have left villages cut off, caused power and water outages, frozen rivers and lakes, grounded flights, cancelled trains, delayed ferries and closed roads.
Serbian authorities banned river traffic on its stretch of the Danube — one of Europe’s main rivers — because of ice and strong winds.
Heavy snow crippled Istanbul, where one of the main highways resembled a parking lot after drivers deserted their cars.
In Italy, snow fell on the earthquake-devastated towns of Norcia and Amatrice, and in Rome the fountains in St. Peter’s Square froze overnight and dripped icicles instead.
At least 23 people have died of the cold in the past days.
Hungary Plans to Crackdown on All Soros-Funded NGOs
The European Union member will use “all the tools at its disposal” to “sweep out” NGOs funded by the Hungarian-born financier, which “serve global capitalists and back political correctness over national governments,” Szilard Nemeth, a vice president of the ruling Fidesz party, told reporters on Tuesday. No one answered the phone at the Open Society Institute in Budapest when Bloomberg News called outside business hours.
Disturbing Lessons from the Chicago Beating
Last week, four young blacks — two males, both 18 years old; and two females, 18 and 24 years-old — kidnapped a mentally disabled 18-year-old white boy and tortured him for 24 hours. Among other things, they kicked him, beat him, cut his scalp, made him drink from the toilet and made him kiss the floor while saying he loves black people. During the beatings, the suspects yelled out, “F— white people, boy” and “F— Donald Trump.”
