It says much about our current condition that sometimes the most insightful political commentary appears as satire at The Babylon Bee. Yesterday morning one of the Bee’s headlines read “To Fight Antisemitism, Mamdani Announces Mandatory ‘Safety Camps’ for Jewish Residents.” The article has Mamdani supposedly saying that the “best way to keep Jews safe is by concentrating them into tiny camps away from those who would do them harm,” with further references to transporting them by train as part of the mayor’s “final solution” to the antisemitism problem.

VANCOUVER — The Bureau has learned from a source with direct knowledge that Richmond’s mayor and city councillors were asked to attend an extraordinary closed-door briefing delivered by senior regional officials of the Canadian Security Intelligence Service.
President Donald Trump has never been shy about identifying the source of America’s manufacturing decline. For decades, policymakers pursued trade policies that rewarded companies for chasing the lowest possible labor costs, hollowing out American industry while enriching geopolitical competitors like China. Whether one agreed with his rhetoric or not, President Trump fundamentally changed the national conversation by insisting that trade should serve American workers, not simply multinational corporations.
That conversation is now entering a new phase.
A veritable moral panic over air conditioning is raging – rather surreally – across the West as high summer temperatures produce the usual flood of exaggerated concerns.
Britons have been summarily ordered to remove already installed AC units under net zero rules, as The Telegraph has reported. France’s climate minister expressed horror at the very notion of artificial indoor cooling. “Do you think that’s going to prevent forest fires?” she said. “Do you think that’s going to prevent a crop from dying?” Germany’s state broadcaster added to “climate awareness” with this pearl of wisdom: “Air conditioners: what cools us down, heats up the Earth.”
The number of executions in Iran has surged dramatically in 2026, accompanied by widespread human rights violations: torture, sham trials, and the systematic repression of dissent.
Iranian authorities have carried out hundreds of executions so far, and it is only August. There were more than 100 in June, with the total climbing past 420 by late July, according to Iran Human Rights and other monitors. Recently a gallows was erected in Isfahan’s public square. Many of these executions appear to be politically motivated, targeting participants in the January 2026 protests that challenged the regime.
In the real world, bonuses happen when you do a good job or your organization has a great year. In Ottawa, bonuses reward D- performances, bailouts and billion-dollar losses with taxpayers’ money.
The Soros regime is firing on all cylinders ahead of the midterms and the upcoming presidential election in a couple of years.
The Roosevelt Institute was apparently the editing brains behind a 155-page “Project 2029” document authored by a cohort of former Biden administration officials, academics and policy experts that seeks to be one facet of a broader leftist variant to the conservative Project 2025 policy handbook.
It’s enough to make your head spin.
At any given moment recently, a reader could glance at their favourite newspaper and see conflicting headlines about condo prices plummeting, houses loitering for weeks on the market, and potential buyers going to absurd lengths to afford a place to live.
Colour me shocked.
Leading left-wing lawmakers in Germany have suggested that “foreign forces” like Russia may have been behind the Islamist attack on Berlin’s Pride Parade last week in order to sway upcoming elections.
Canada and 10 of its closest allies issued a warning Friday that North Korean IT workers pose an “insider threat” by remotely obtaining work and income abroad to fund the rogue regime’s nuclear and ballistic weapons programs.
The joint advisory says the remote worker scheme is part of a broader effort to evade international sanctions, and urged countries and companies to “deepen their understanding” of the tactics used and implement measures to counter them.
What brought on this sudden panic?
I’m honestly not sure who started this trend but it has definitely taken off with a number of people I follow. The trend is simple. It’s this statement “That moment as a kid when you realize that you’re definitely straight.” And along with that is a video or photo of some very attractive woman, often but not always someone who was on television or in films in the 1970s thru the 1990s…
I was already confirmed but yes to Elizabeth Shue.
This opening to 1987 ADVENTURES IN BABYSITTING accomplished three things:
It started the career of Chris Columbus
It introduced a completely unique film
It made everyone fall in love with Elizabeth Shue pic.twitter.com/F8MLJAlxbG— Hollywood Horror Museum (@horrormuseum) February 17, 2026
OK .. Melanie Griffith in “Something Wild”
A little more than 50 years ago, members of B.C.’s NDP government gathered in the provincial capital to introduce the British Columbia Day Act, creating a statutory holiday to celebrate the province and its history. Now, B.C.’s current NDP government is negotiating a treaty that would give parts of that same capital away.
The scope of cyberattacks on U.S. water systems has grown to include at least seven states and may be far wider, officials and experts warned, as the authorities raced to safeguard the nation’s water supply against an assault that increasingly appeared to be the work of Iran.
While there were no indications that any water supply had been altered or made unsafe to drink, state and local officials throughout the country were on high alert for potential problems in vulnerable computers that are commonly used to monitor and adjust water quality, including chemical-treatment levels and water pressure. Minnesota first publicly reported the attacks, and now Michigan says its systems have also been targeted.
