What is birthright citizenship and how common is birth tourism in the US?

US President Donald Trump has announced new executive orders aimed at ending so-called birth tourism in the US and limiting birthright citizenship for certain groups.

It is part of a renewed effort by his administration to restrict access to US citizenship after the Supreme Court shot down Trump’s first attempt in June.

Birthright citizenship refers to the practice of granting citizenship to those born on US soil, with some exceptions, while birth tourism is when foreign nationals come to the US specifically to give birth and get their child citizenship.

Terry Newman: The anti-Zionist doctor who didn’t know what she’d done wrong

Kavita Algu, a former palliative care doctor at Toronto’s Mount Sinai Hospital, recently quit after a workplace investigator found her to be disruptive and unprofessional, which the Toronto Star would like you to believe is some kind of injustice. Judging from the Star’s own “investigation” and Algu’s activism, this couldn’t be further from the truth.

According to the Star’s investigation, Algu “was never told specifically what she did wrong.” She was just a physician who engaged in Palestinian advocacy and “ultimately felt she had no choice but to leave a career she had spent years building.”

How corruption could bring down Zelensky

In a sparsely furnished four-room apartment on the 18th floor of 9a Hrushevskoho Street, Kyiv, several well-connected businessmen are discussing deals involving some of Ukraine’s most powerful politicians and officials. Meanwhile, anti-corruption investigators are listening in via a concealed bug. The contents of the 1,000 hours of conversation that they record are shocking. They reveal large-scale war profiteering among President Zelensky’s inner circle. In one case concerning the state nuclear company, Energoatom, contractors were forced to pay an extra 10-15 percent in kickbacks in order to avoid contracts being blocked or canceled.

Alcohol, dairy and autos: What is and isn’t on the table in Canada-U.S. trade negotiations

OTTAWA — The day after extensive trade talks between Canada and U.S. officials in Washington, D.C., details are emerging of where the give and take may be in ongoing negotiations.

Multiple industry sources tell CTV News they are cautiously optimistic that progress is being made toward a comprehensive bilateral agreement outside of the U.S. and Canada’s formal trilateral deal with Mexico.

But, they’re also warning against expectations that a deal will be made by a looming Aug. 19 deadline.

Iran considers banning US and Israeli ships from Strait of Hormuz

Iran is considering banning US and Israeli ships from sailing through the Strait of Hormuz in a move likely to anger Donald Trump.

Under a draft plan being reviewed by Iran’s parliament, US and Israeli-flagged vessels, or “other hostile states or entities linked to them” would be blocked from the waterway.

The proposal, reported by Iranian state media PressTV, would threaten to derail talks between Iran and Oman to reopen the strait.

Social media footage circulating on Wednesday captured the shadow of an individual attempting to slash an Israeli tent with a knife. The footage then cut to security officers detaining the assailant in the main festival area as chants of “All the Zionists are racists” echoed in the background.

Spain Fears New Ceuta Mass Crossing as August 15 Threat Grows

Spain is bracing for a possible second mass migrant crossing into Ceuta as the political fallout from last week’s unprecedented border breach spreads from Madrid to Brussels.

The Guardia Civil is closely monitoring social media messages calling on migrants to gather in the Moroccan border town of Castillejos on August 15 before attempting to enter the Spanish enclave.

Matthew Taub: A year later, what happened to Carney’s conditions for recognizing Palestine?

Global Affairs Canada was asked to identify the conditions governing one of Canada’s most consequential foreign-policy decisions in decades. Did Ottawa establish benchmarks before recognizing Palestine? Which had been met? Was there a monitoring process, and what consequences would follow if the remaining commitments failed?

It could not name one, I know because I emailed them to ask.

PINDER: Freeland’s attack on Trump exposes the Liberal double standard on bullies

And we thought Chrystia Freeland and her strut were finally gone. Ensconced at Oxford, this former Rhodes Scholar is now CEO of an Oxford trust fund. This follows her leading role in former prime minister Justin Trudeau’s “Lost Decade.”

Her self-assuredness and years in the limelight have apparently entitled her, at a delicate time in the free trade negotiations, to attack Donald Trump as “a bully.” No argument there, but why?

Has her sensitivity to the dismal record increased? Is she protecting her close friend Carney? Is she missing the attention?

Dueling Court Orders Create ‘Men’s Prison Within A Women’s Federal Prison’

Dueling court orders regarding men who claim to be women serving time in federal prison have resulted the Department of Justice creating a sex-segregated wing in a women’s prison to house the men.

The Justice Department, through the Bureau of Prisons (BOP) is seeking to transfer every male inmate claiming to be female in the country to one female-only prison — Federal Medical Center (FMC) Carswell in Fort Worth, Texas — after one federal judge blocked an executive order to remove “trans”-identifying men from female prisons, and another federal judge ordered those men to be segregated from the women.

Ceuta: The Time-Lapse Photo Of Western Collapse

I find time-lapse photography fascinating. One of my favorite examples is when someone in the far north points a camera at the North Star during winter and leaves it there overnight. The result is typically an image of silhouetted trees surrounding an array of circles made by the stars traveling across the sky as the Earth spins. Although that picture captures reality, there’s no moment when you could ever actually see it simply by looking up. It doesn’t actually exist as a single moment; it’s only by seeing the time-lapse that you can perceive it.
