Vice President Mike Pence encouraged Notre Dame graduates to “be exceptional from this day forth” and “be leaders for the freedom of thought and expression” in a country increasingly shunning those values during a speech Sunday at the university’s commencement ceremony.
Proudly reminding his audience that he was “a son of Indiana,” the vice president expressed how pleased he was to return to the state where he served as governor just a few short months ago.

“I would submit that the increasing intolerance and suppression of the time-honored tradition of free expression on our campuses jeopardizes the liberties of every American.”
“My charge to all of you is simply this: Be exceptional from this day forth,” Pence said. “As the Good Book says, to whom much is given, much will be required. So I urge you, as the rising generation — carry the ideals and the values that you’ve learned at Notre Dame into your lives and...

The girl was walking home alone April 25 when three men attacked her. The local prosecutor in Tulln, a town of about 15,000 people, ordered 59 male asylum seekers to submit DNA samples after the victims’ testimony.
An Afghan and a Somali citizen have since been arrested. A third suspect remains on the run.
Peter Eisenschenk, Tulln’s mayor, informed the regional government Tuesday that the town will not accept any refugees for the time being, newspaper Heute reports.
“For me, there is zero tolerance for criminal asylum seekers who abuse their rights as guests and in view of what these criminals did to the girl, the full severity of the law is demanded,” Eisenschenk said at a town hall meeting.
Austria accepted around 90,000 migrants in 2015. It has since imposed border controls to...
