Notes on the passing scene — Taliban, Canada, and John Kerry admitting Trump was right all along

It’s a weird world out there and here are some semi-random thoughts:

A 45-year-old Afghan man allegedly attempted to marry a 6-year-old girl in Helmand Province.

Amu.tv reported that the youngster had allegedly been sold by her father to a man who already has two wives, but the kind-hearted Taliban stepped in and arrested both men involved. (Yes, “kind-hearted” was sarcastic.) The Taliban brought no charges against the men but are making the prospective groom wait until the girl is 9 before taking her home, according to local media.
