Afghan national admitted via Operation Allies Welcome charged with making terroristic threat, DHS says
An Afghan national was arrested this week after posting a video of himself on TikTok indicating he was building a bomb with an intended target of the Fort Worth area in Texas, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) told Fox News.
Court records show that Mohammad Dawood Alokozay was charged at the state level with making a terroristic threat.
The long-awaited agreement inked between the federal government and Alberta this week was expected to clear the path for a new oil pipeline, renew focus on carbon capture and, it was hoped, cool the jets of the province’s increasingly vocal separatists, eager to chart the prairie province’s path out of confederation.
Too bad the separatists themselves didn’t get the message.
“This is the complete opposite. This just got everyone angrier,” says Mitch Sylvestre, head of the Alberta Prosperity Project (APP), one of a handful of groups pursuing independence and the backers of a pro-separation referendum question that is currently before the courts.
President Donald Trump announced Saturday that airlines and pilots should consider the airspace over Venezuela to be shut down.
Rosie O’Donnell says her non-binary autistic daughter is following in her footsteps with her hatred of Trump.
“My daughter is now saying Damn him. Damn Trump and smashing her hand on the table. He made us move in order for our own safety.”

The silence has been deafening and embarrassing.
It sure would be a nice gesture for Prime Minister Mark Carney to extend condolences to President Donald Trump and the American people for the terror attack that took the life of one American soldier and left a second clinging to life.
Andriy Yermak was a constant, looming presence in Ukraine’s government – a seemingly immovable figure on the political stage.
Despite his towering frame, you might not always have spotted him. Yet, wherever President Volodymyr Zelensky was, Yermak was often not far away.
As his chief of staff, Yermak wielded enormous power at the top of government and was even trusted to negotiate on Ukraine’s behalf at peace talks with the US.
But as his influence grew, so did public resentment of the power this unelected official held. His political career came to an abrupt end on Friday, hours after anti-corruption investigators raided his home in Kyiv.
Last week, a Global News investigation uncovered that roughly 450 individuals with various roles inside Hamas have ties to Canada. These include Canadian citizens, permanent residents, and others with relatives or associates here. CSIS did not confirm if these individuals are currently under scrutiny. Global reported the agency “was investigating Canadians in Middle East terror groups, but declined to elaborate.”
The Trump administration is working toward cutting illegal migrants off from federal tax benefits and money transfer services, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said Friday.
“At [President Trump’s] direction, we are working to cut off federal benefits to illegal aliens and preserve them for U.S. citizens,” Bessent wrote on X.
As part of the effort, the Treasury Department will propose new regulations “clarifying that the refunded portions of certain individual income tax benefits are no longer available to illegal and other non-qualified aliens, covering the Earned Income Tax Credit, the Additional Child Tax Credit, the American Opportunity Tax Credit, and the Saver’s Match Credit,” according to the the Trump administration official.

Imagine a Canadian pol standing up for Canada like the Trump admin does for America. It just doesn’t happen.
The news that Steven Guilbeault quit Prime Minister Mark Carney’s cabinet shouldn’t shock anyone who has followed the Quebec environmentalist’s long, combustible relationship with realpolitik. If anything, the only surprise is that the ending wasn’t scripted months ago.
During the last federal campaign, I noticed two posters standing only a few feet apart in the Montreal riding of Laurier–Sainte-Marie. One belonged to Guilbeault. The other to the local Green Party hopeful, Dylan Perceval-Maxwell. His sign carried an unusual footnote: “P.S. Voting for Steven Guilbeault is also voting green.”

Most of the population has been replaced within a couple of generations
As a grizzled travel writer, I’ve picked up a few tips over the years. And one of them is this: if you want to understand a country quickly, take an urban food tour. You get to sample delicious scran, you learn how locals eat, drink and socialise and – crucially – as the chat flows, you hear the sort of throwaway facts that make you sit back in surprise.
So it was last night, for me, in Phnom Penh, the increasingly seductive, hedonistic capital of Cambodia. I was eating buffalo beef jerky with a spry fifty-something guy called Vannak, right outside the monastery where the young Pol Pot, the future communist tyrant then known as Saloth Sar, was a trainee monk.

President Trump claimed Friday that he was repealing all documents signed by former President Joe Biden using an autopen — and threatened to have his predecessor “brought up on charges of perjury” if he asserts that staffers were acting on his orders when using the mechanical.
Trump, 79, has for months characterized Biden, 83, as AWOL during his four-year term and claimed that unelected aides were running the country without authorization.

Shortly after Prime Minister Mark Carney and Alberta Premier Danielle Smith formally signed their memorandum of understanding on Thursday, Smith joked to reporters in Calgary that she would love for “pipelines to be boring again.”
It’s not clear that pipelines have ever been boring — they have been associated with political tumult in Canada for at least 70 years. And given the great questions that are still tied up in both the idea and the reality of an interprovincial pipe — the unresolved work of reconciliation, the lack of a complete answer to the present and future threat of climate change, the fear for national unity — it is difficult to imagine that a pipeline could easily be made boring in this moment.
