Artificial intelligence may be used for good — like automizing monotonous tasks, protecting your home, or even providing harmless entertainment — but it can also generate massive amounts of child pornography in a matter of minutes.

Mali jihadists kill dozens in twin attacks amid growing Islamist threat
Al-Qaida-linked militants have killed at least 64 people in twin attacks on an army base and a crowded passenger boat on the Niger River in northern Mali.
Extremists from the Jama’at Nusrat al-Islam wal Muslimin (JNIM) appear to have targeted the Timbuktu boat on the river and an army position at Bamba, in the northern Gao region, with “a provisional toll of 49 civilians and 15 soldiers killed”, according to a government statement.
Earlier, the Malian army said on social media that the boat was attacked by “armed terrorist groups”.
Biden Administration Bypassing Americans, Violating US Law, to Appease Regime of Iran
The Biden administration has been accused of secretly bypassing US laws to reach a deal with Iran’s Islamist regime.
On August 10, the Biden administration apparently cut a “deal” excluding Congress and keeping the American people and U.S. regional allies in the dark — even though they are the ones who would be the most directly affected by a “deal.”
The Biden administration, determined, it seems, to continue appeasing the Iranian regime — called by the US State Department the leading state sponsor of terrorism — keeps indefatigably trying to revive then President Barack Obama’s 2015 “nuclear deal,” enabling Iran’s mullahs legitimately to have as many nuclear weapons as they like.
Ukraine: Musk defends Starlink decision on Crimea strike
Elon Musk said he refused a request to activate his Starlink satellite network in the Crimean port city of Sevastopol to aid a drone attack on Russia’s fleet there.
He said he feared that agreeing would have made his company complicit in a “major” act of war and an “escalation” in the conflict following Russia’s invasion.
Michael Higgins: Student expelled for political views grilled over religious beliefs, choice of music
How hard can it be for a 17-year-old to get into school? Pretty hard, it turns out.

China threatens ‘consequences’ over Canadian inquiry into alleged meddling
China is warning of “consequences” for Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s government unless it stops spreading “lies and false information” about alleged interference in Canadian affairs.
The Chinese embassy in Ottawa issued a stern statement on Friday, a day after Canada announced a public inquiry into meddling by China, Russia and other state and non-state actors in Canadian national elections in 2019 and 2021.

LILLEY: As StatsCan shows immigration soaring, is it time for pause?
Have we reached an immigration tipping point in Canada? Figures released by Statistics Canada on Friday definitely point in that direction.
In releasing the latest employment figures, StatsCan said we are bringing in people faster than we are creating jobs.
The point of mass immigration is to depress wages and reap the windfall profits from the resulting shortage in housing.
It’s what the UNIPARTY wants because it’s what their Corporate Cronies want.
By Every Historical Precedent, the Next Act Will be War
… As I have reiterated so many times in my columns on Townhall and elsewhere, an ignorance of history is an inexcusable tragedy for a nation. It is also what totalitarian, Leftist regimes, like the Democratic Party, want. Karl Marx: “Keep people from their history, and they are easily controlled.”
We must end the unwitnessed safe supply of opioids
I am a doctor, and I am a parent of teenagers, and I am watching a slow-moving tragedy unfold before my eyes in British Columbia. And I feel compelled to speak out about it.
As a doctor, I am bound by certain ethics and standards of practice. I am bound first and foremost to “do no harm.” I am also bound to provide evidence-based care to my patients. These are both virtues of the profession, guiding principles that ensure that patients are given the best available care, without being exposed to treatments that may harm them.
But sometimes, these two principles come into conflict.

WARMINGTON: Politicians enjoying high life as families scrounge for food, rent
Let them eat at food banks!
But not the people elected to run the country, province or city. Their meals are not served in a bag after a two-hour wait in a queue. In fact, while people line up in the elements and on sidewalks for basic food, the politicians who represent them party. There is no bread line or food rationing for them.
French shrug off Muslim upset at abaya ban in schools
Why should a teenage girl not be able to express her religious beliefs and at the same time pursue an education at school?
It is a tough question, but one to which the French believe they have an answer.
Which is, broadly, because there is such a thing as a French nation, and the teenager is part of it. Nothing defines France, and separates it from its neighbours, quite so clearly as the issue of la laïcité, or secularism.
