The Winning Strategy for Iran: Unconditional Surrender

When confronting the task of eradicating the Iranian regime — the world’s top state sponsor of terrorism and enthusiastic violator of human rights — it is essential to go in with all options on the table: economic sanctions, military operations, and political isolation all working in concert. The Nazi regime under Hitler, for instance, was not defeated through proportionate responses or limited engagements. The WWII Allies committed to total victory, dismantling the machinery of aggression, root and branch. The same principle applies today. President Donald Trump has a winning strategy on Iran. The military campaign should not stop until Iran’s regime delivers an unconditional surrender, as Germany and Japan did in World War II.

Here Are the Big Moments From the Rescheduled White House Correspondents’ Dinner

Friday marked the rescheduled White House Correspondents’ Dinner (WHCD) following the April 25 dinner being postponed following another alleged deranged leftist who sought to assassinate President Trump.

With a third of the original attendance and a different venue, the show went on with all of the awards for anti-Trump screeds, remarks by the President, and outgoing White House Correspondents’ Association (WHCA) President Weijia Jiang of CBS News, and a mind-bending performance from Oz Perlman.

"After hearing the gunshots, many people yelled, ‘Get down! Get down!,' which caused Nicki Minaj to start twerking. Can you believe it? She’s the only one that really understood what that meant.”

Parks Canada charges hikers after grizzly bear run-in with off-leash dog in Banff National Park

A pair of hikers with an off-leash dog were charged after coming close to a well-known grizzly bear on a popular hiking trail in Banff National Park.

Parks Canada charged them after a social media video on TikTok generated several million views since being posted July 21. The video, recorded by a woman, shows a man with bear spray and a small off-leash dog running between the two of them as grizzly bear No. 142 walks toward them on the trail.

It sucks but it’s safer.

Canadian-Born Wealth Falls Behind Immigrants After Real Estate Bubble

Being Canadian-born isn’t the wealth advantage many assume, according to a new study. Statistics Canada (StatCan) researchers compared Canadian-born households with established immigrants who had lived in the country for at least 10 years. They found the immigrant group came out ahead across every wealth quartile, though the gap narrowed at the top. The difference was driven almost entirely by Canada’s real estate bubble in its largest cities.

Black-Owned Atlanta Restaurant Faces Boycott Calls for Serving a Republican

Toast on Lenox is a popular Atlanta brunch spot that’s beloved for its good food and the warm and friendly service you typically receive from the moment you walk in the door. It opened in the city’s Buckhead neighborhood in 2021, with a second location opening up in Midtown in 2023. It’s sort of an upscale-casual place that serves updated takes on Southern dishes.

If the GTA population is up, why are public school numbers down?

Many GTA school boards are reporting declining enrolment, which has forced some of them to cut teaching and administrative positions and slash programming, even as the overall population in the region continues to rise.

In 2025, Statistics Canada reported that the population of Toronto and its surrounding areas had topped seven million, with nearly 300,000 people moving here within the previous year.

Yet, many school boards CTV New Toronto reached out to report a dip in student numbers over the last few years. In the few instances where there were reported increases, those spikes were modest.

Alberta’s pro-Canada movement just got a gift from Donald Trump

Alberta’s federalists have a key asset on their side: U.S. President Donald Trump.

Generally speaking, the wind’s already behind them: If you believe the opinion polling, the separatists are in for a fairly epic defeat in October in Premier Danielle Smith’s referendum about secession.

Ilhan Omar’s office housed inside Somali community center that received redirected Feeding Our Future donations

Rep. Ilhan Omar’s (D-MN) congressional office is housed inside a Somali community center to which she redirected campaign funds that came from fraudsters now convicted in the Feeding Our Future case.

Omar’s office in Minneapolis is currently co-located within the Sabathani Community Center, a black-led nonprofit organization that provides “culturally tailored services.” In 2022, “out of an abundance of caution,” Omar donated a total of $5,400 divided among three Minneapolis food pantries — including Sabathani, which runs a food distribution center — after the congresswoman received campaign contributions matching that amount one year prior from a pair of Feeding Our Future operatives.

Heather Exner-Pirot: Cutting off oil exports to spite Trump would cripple Canada

Doug Ford is mad, and he has every right to be. While his province suffered from wildfires and evacuations, a lineup of American politicians chose to criticize and politicize Ontario’s response, rather than offer to help. To add insult to injury, U.S. President Donald Trump imposed a new set of unjustifiable tariffs on Monday that disproportionately harm Ontario’s economy.

His mom, who said “Raul, I’m here,” then buried her head in her hands and wept as her son was ushered out of the courtroom.
