Zohran Mamdani, AI, and the Job Apocalypse
The disaffected laptop class fears the artificial intelligence revolution.
Does Zohran Mamdani, an unapologetic socialist, owe his political rise as New York City’s leading mayoral candidate to artificial intelligence?
We’re not referring to whether Mamdani, a TikTok and Instagram virtuoso, used AI to help propel himself to victory in the primaries (he may have). Instead, consider the anxieties that AI is fueling in the demographic that voted for him. Ever since ChatGPT ignited the modern AI era, we’ve seen a stream of headlines and studies predicting that AI will soon perform virtually all knowledge work. Mamdani captured his big majorities among the laptop class of middle- and upper-middle income citizens, not in working-class neighborhoods. Socialism’s central nostrum—that well-intentioned experts and ruling elites should tame the predations of market and technology disruptions—becomes more appealing during periods of social and economic upheaval.
Hunting Down Russian Spies With Norway’s Intelligence Service
KIRKENES, Norway—Paranoia pervades the placid border town of Kirkenes in Norway’s far north. Residents are routinely trailed by unknown men. The Wall Street Journal’s camera crew was photographed and followed around town by a suspicious vehicle with no license plate. Most locals warn you to keep your wits about you because, as one said in a hushed tone, “the Russians are watching.”
The Journal’s video shows us accompanying Norway’s domestic intelligence agency, the PST, on patrol for Russian spies. We meet residents convinced they are under Russian surveillance and we find out firsthand what it feels like to be trailed.
The police will be there immediately – in more than two hours
Last year, a Toronto police officer speaking at a community event suggested that residents leave their car keys by their front door to avoid violent confrontations with potential home invaders. The implication was that break-and-enters in the area were simply going to happen – home invasions and auto theft occurrences had risen 400 per cent the previous year, according to the Toronto Police Service – so it was best to give the criminals what they wanted: your car.
Warnings to President Trump on the Future of Gaza
The Trump administration is being sent early warnings of the priorities of its possible “partner,” Qatar, for the future of the Gaza Strip.
“His Excellency” Mohammed al-Rumaihi, Qatar’s former ambassador to the United States, and former Minister of Municipality and Environment, noted on July 5 that he is concerned about “keep[ing] the Palestinian cause alive – and its people,” and slammed Israel:
“No major capital—neither Beijing, nor Moscow, nor Washington—has labelled the Gaza campaign as ‘systematic killing,’ let alone moved to punish Israel under Chapter VII of the UN Charter.”
You are not left to guess which side of the conflict he is on.
André Pratte: A welfare state that Quebecers can’t afford
School boards, teachers and parents are furious with François Legault’s government for cutting $570 million from the province’s current year education budget.
Services to students, they argue, will inevitably suffer. The cutbacks having been announced without warning, the anger is understandable. However, Quebecers would do well to get used to such financial restrictions: the province’s fiscal situation is dire, and at this stage, there is no other choice but to slow the rise in expenditures, especially for the two largest parts of the budget by far, that is health care (44 per cent) and education (15 per cent).
Morning Joe Flip Out: ICE Arrests Are ‘Racial Profiling,’ ‘Kidnapping’
The left-wing media’s hysteria revolving around the Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s arrests and deportations nationwide had cranked up to the next level. On Thursday’s edition of MSNBC’s Morning Joe, co-host of MSNBC’s The Weekend Symone Sanders-Townsend claimed people will see “racial profiling” as ICE continued to uphold the law. Meanwhile, another claimed ICE was “kidnapping” people.
Co-anchor Jonathan Lemire framed the segment around fear of “high profile clashes” in “Democratic controlled cities” in the country, where ICE was focusing their efforts.
Is This the Most Disgusting Thing Michelle Obama Has Ever Said?
Michelle Obama has long been treated by the media as America’s favorite mom and wife, a paragon of family values and grace. But when you peel back the carefully crafted image, what emerges is a worldview that’s fundamentally at odds with the core tenets of the American family.
Canada’s EV mandate directly benefits Musk. He’ll lose big if it’s dropped.
OTTAWA — Canada’s electric vehicle mandate is under fire from Washington — and if it falls, one of the biggest losers could be Elon Musk.
That’s because the mandate, a climate change policy from the Justin Trudeau era, requires carmakers to hit 20 percent EV sales by 2026, or else buy credits from companies that have exceeded the goal. In Canada, that means they have to buy credits from Tesla, because it only sells EVs.
The Eco-Fanatics must be so torn.
In India’s deportation drive, Muslim men recount being tossed into the sea
SATKHIRA, Bangladesh — Indian police dragged Hasan Shah from his bed in western India one morning in late April. Later, he said, officers bound his hands with rope, placed a blindfold over his eyes and put him on a boat bound for Bangladesh.
After three days at sea, Shah said, they stood him on the edge of the vessel with a life vest, untied his hands, uncovered his eyes and gave him a final order at gunpoint: “Jump into the water,” Shah remembered the officers saying.
“If you look back, we’ll shoot you.”
Shocking.

Newsom Protests ICE Raid on Marijuana Farm Allegedly Found Using Child Labor
California Gov. Gavin Newsom protested against an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raid on a marijuana farm in his state this week that was allegedly found to have been using child labor.
Canada sees U.S. asylum claim surge as both nations harden borders
A growing number of migrants in the U.S. are heading north to seek asylum, even as Canada adopts increasingly restrictive immigration policies of its own.
During the first six days of July, Canadian officials at the Saint-Bernard-de-Lacolle border crossing — the busiest land port between New York and Quebec — received 761 asylum claims, a more than 400% increase from the same period a year ago, according to data from the Canada Border Services Agency. The number of claims at the crossing rose 128% in June and is up 82% since the start of the year.
Pentagon Ditches Admiral Who Allowed Drag Queen Performances On Aircraft Carrier
WASHINGTON—The Defense Department is withdrawing the nomination of Rear Adm. Michael “Buzz” Donnelly, The Daily Wire can first report, under whose command drag performances took place on board the USS Ronald Reagan.
Donnelly served as commanding officer of the aircraft carrier from April 2016 to September 2018, during which time Yeoman 2nd Class Joshua Kelley performed as a drag queen under the name “Harpy Daniels” at a department-sanctioned “Morale, Welfare, and Recreation” event on the aircraft carrier.
