<p>Sure, it’s Trump Surrender Week, but should remind ourselves that the rest of the world has its own priorities. For example, the <a title="" href= "https://www.un.org/en/observances/religious-based-violence-victims-day" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-cke-saved-href= "https://www.un.org/en/observances/religious-based-violence-victims-day" data-original-title="">International Day Commemorating the Victims of Acts of Violence Based on Religion or Belief</a>. Now <em>that’s</em> a mouthful!</p> <p>Trump’s set to ruin my birthday present, by <a href= "https://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/news/4163464-trump-plans-to-turn-himself-in-on-thursday-report/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-cke-saved-href= "https://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/news/4163464-trump-plans-to-turn-himself-in-on-thursday-report/"> turning himself in a day early</a>.
