WTF?
An Ohio woman took in two strangers. Then she saw their ‘wanted’ photos.
The two women who drifted into a small Ohio town reminded Adrienne Behrman of her younger self. They were fleeing a toxic living situation in Maryland, they said, when their car broke down and left them stranded in a motel.
The story was a bit vague. But Behrman, 49, had twice been homeless, overcome addiction and knew how hard it could be to share details. She took the women into her home despite friends’ warnings.
WTF?

Rubio urged to Fight Canada’s Bill C-22 Surveillance Law
Ron Wyden wants the Trump administration to treat one of America’s allies as a counterintelligence threat.
The Oregon senator wrote to acting Attorney General Todd Blanche and Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who is doubling as acting national security adviser, on July 16.
His warning centers on an invasive surveillance bill moving through Canada’s Parliament that could turn American technology companies into tools for spying on Americans.
The Odyssey Hullabaloo
Acclaimed British filmmaker Christopher Nolan’s (The Dark Knight, Oppenheimer) newest film, The Odyssey, opens this week in the United States.
But controversy has already surrounded Nolan’s adaptation of Homer’s 2,700-year-old epic poem about Odysseus’s 10-year struggle to return home after the Achaian victory in the decade-long Trojan War.
Some of the film’s actresses have suggested that Nolan is offering a more feminist—and long-overdue—take on the ancient poem. Actress Lupita Nyong’o, in particular, has criticized Homer’s purported sexism.

A Communist Party Talent-Recruitment Official Co-Wrote a Book With the Canadian Scientist Now Charged With Copying Thousands of Government Files
OTTAWA — Dennis Lu, the Natural Resources Canada scientist at the center of one of the most consequential foreign-interference prosecutions in the country’s history, co-authored a scholarly book on carbon-capture technology that his publisher released in December 2024 — months after Canada’s national security police had already detained him. The Bureau has confirmed Lu’s co-author was a Chinese professor who is also a Communist Party personnel official: the man who, since 2020, has helped run the recruiting machinery at Southeast University in Nanjing and today directs its Talent Work Office.
Iranian Regime’s Insatiable Drive to Wipe Out Jews, Christians, Minorities: World Turns a Blind Eye
Despite sanctions and military setbacks, Tehran’s ideological commitment to the destruction of Israel, and targeting Jewish, Christian, Baha’i and other worldwide minority communities, remains a core pillar of its foreign policy and proxy strategies.
In Iran, far from being “just” rhetoric, this antagonism is daily seen in a pattern of terrorist operations, including plots against synagogues, Jewish sites, Christians, Baha’i and other “infidels,” which exposes the regime’s transnational reach.
When, however, anyone says that Iran is doing this, the so-called international community and United Nations are completely silent.

U.S. unveils visa policy targeting alleged far-left terrorists
July 16 (UPI) — Secretary of State Marco Rubio unveiled a new policy to impose visa restrictions on alleged far-left terrorists, as the Trump administration promotes far-left political violence as a growing threat not only to the United States but also to the world.
The visa-restriction policy, announced Thursday, targets members of far-left terrorist groups and other aligned organizations who have supported or incited acts of terrorism or violence, participated in economic sabotage or supported violent and other criminal actions.
LILLEY: If food delivery riders leave Toronto’s bike lanes, who will use them?
A new ad campaign by the City of Toronto is warning e-bike riders not to use the city’s bike lanes.
My question is, if the e-bike riders delivering food orders for Uber Eats, DoorDash and SkipTheDishes aren’t using the city’s bike lanes, then who will?
White House Fact-Checks Media’s Election Fraud Cover-Up Lies
After President Donald Trump released a trove of declassified documents exposing how domestic and foreign actors undermined the credibility and results of our election system, mainstream media went into full denial mode.
As part of his primetime speech on Thursday, Trump accused some media figures of taking Chinese bribes for negative coverage on him. Well, he did not list names, but the media outlets quickly confirmed suspicions themselves by rushing to deny any and all evidence. Trust them, not the stacks of declassified documents, was the lefty media message.
AND THERE IT IS…

Mexico not looking to cut side deal with U.S. and leave Canada out, foreign secretary says
Mexico’s foreign secretary says his country isn’t looking to cut a deal with the U.S. if it means abandoning the trilateral trade pact with Canada.

Public must pay sex offender’s $50,000 legal tab due to ‘deliberately uncooperative’ Toronto cop, judge rules
A judge has ordered that the public pick up a convicted sex offender’s $50,000 legal tab due to delayed disclosure of records by Toronto police and the “deliberately uncooperative” detective in charge of the case.
Superior Court Justice Gillian Roberts took the rare step of ordering costs against the Crown — the provincial government — last month, in the case of a man who, after accusing his partner of cheating, ripped off her pants, attempted to penetrate her digitally and tried to shove her tampon in her mouth while threatening to kill her.
‘Profound, resigned hopelessness’: people across US and Canada share effects of wildfire smoke
As smoke from hundreds of Canadian wildfires continues to spread across large parts of North America, bringing hazardous air to tens of millions of people, outdoor activities are being canceled, businesses disrupted and vulnerable residents are being kept indoors as officials warn the unhealthy conditions will likely persist.
Air quality alerts were issued across more than 20 US states as smoke from wildfires burning in south-central Canada, northern Ontario and parts of Minnesota drifted south. About 109 million Americans across the midwest, mid-Atlantic and north-east experienced unhealthy air this week.
