Actress and former talk show host Rosie O’Donnell, who fled the United State after President Donald Trump defeated Kamala Harris in last November, went on a conspiracy theory-filled rant about the anti-Catholic trans Minneapolis school shooter that included her fantasizing about Trump’s death.
The de minimis exemption that allowed low-value packages to be shipped duty-free to the United States is now a thing of the past as an executive order signed by U.S. President Donald Trump went into effect Friday.
Under an executive order signed by Trump in July, packages valued at or under US$800 sent to the U.S. from outside of its postal network will now face “all applicable duties” starting Aug. 29, the White House said.
The White House has informed Congress it intends to cancel $4.9 billion that lawmakers approved for foreign aid programs, invoking a little-known and legally untested power to slash spending without their approval.
The 15-page notification, sent to Congress on Thursday night and reviewed by The New York Times, is the administration’s first effort to push through what is known as a “pocket rescission.” It is an effort to unilaterally claw back money that has already been appropriated by waiting so late in the fiscal year to make the request that lawmakers do not have time to reject it before the funding expires.
Who cares what Congress thinks this will be all good for Americans.
Quebec is once again pushing the boundaries of the debate over religion in the public square. The Legault government is introducing legislation to ban “street prayers” — a move that, depending on your view, is either overdue or overreach.
This isn’t an abstract issue. For months, Muslim Montrealers have gathered outside the Notre Dame Basilica in Old Montreal to take part in prayers. On the other side of the cobblestone streets, non-Muslims have begun gathering in protest, waving Quebec’s fleur-de-lis flag, arguing that faith belongs behind closed doors. Each time the gatherings grew larger, more confrontational, and more symbolic of a clash between identity and expression.
This cult has to be curbed.
The remains of two more Israeli hostages have been recovered, Israel said Friday — as it declared Gaza City a “dangerous combat zone.”
The body of Oct. 7 “hero” Ilan Weiss, 56, was found alongside the remains of another hostage who has yet to be identified, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said.
They were recovered during a joint military and Shin Bet security operation in the Gaza Strip 693 days after they were taken on Oct. 7, the IDF noted.

Titles like The Handmaid’s Tale, Brave New World, I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings and Perks of Being a Wallflower are to be pulled from library shelves at Edmonton public schools come fall, according to a document shared with CBC News.
An internally distributed list obtained by CBC News shows more than 200 books deemed sexually explicit are slated for removal from library shelves for students in kindergarten to Grade 12. It comes after a policy from Alberta’s education minister outlines new rules governing books in school libraries as of Oct. 1.
I do not approve of removing Atwood’s screed, but for a minute it felt good to imagine a world absent those feminist Handmaid’s idiots.
Funny that these berobed twits tolerate Islam imposing the niqab on women.
A temporary injunction that blocked asylum seekers being housed at an Essex hotel has been overturned at the Court of Appeal.
Lawyers for The Bell Hotel in Epping and the government challenged a High Court ruling that would have forced 138 asylum seekers to leave the site by 12 September.
Overturning the injunction, Lord Justice Bean said the High Court ruling was “seriously flawed in principle”.
Epping Forest District Council, which obtained the initial injunction, said “the battle was not over”.
Locals with flares march outside the Epping migrant hotel to demand the occupants be deported home.

Jason Yuan, a second-hand car shop owner, closes the hood of a vehicle after tightening the last nut on the battery terminal – a routine he is all too familiar with.
Texas has long felt like home for him, as a naturalised US citizen born in China. But a recently passed state law is shaking his belief in his chosen homeland.
Texas Senate Bill 17 of 2025, also known as SB 17, will take effect on 1 September, restricting people and companies from China, Iran, North Korea and Russia from purchasing and renting property.
It’s a legitimate National Security issue despite the Chicom friendly BBC’s effort to muddy the waters.
I got a text from sister-in-law: “Mass shooting at Annunciation.” It’s the church and school on 54th, across the creek from our place, a mere block away from her house. I went outside and heard every siren in the world converging on our neighborhood.
Posted that, without saying more, because you never want to repeat bad info – but I got a tweet from a guy I knew who’s at ‘CCO radio, confirming. Hit the newspaper site: nothing. Crime twitter accounts: more. Then turned on the TV, and it’s ongoing situation, active shooter. Helicopter overhead – get out flight tracking app, gov or hospital? State Patrol.

Zohran Mamdani — a proud, card-carrying member of the Democratic Socialists of America — has been shying away from some of his fringe party’s agenda as he runs for mayor.
But newly-unearthed platforms from the DSA’s New York City chapter paint a shocking picture of the extreme shift toward radical policies the Big Apple could face if Mamdani is elected in November.

Shocked Premier Doug Ford is “confident” the OPP will quickly round up these mystery suspects
At first glance, it looked like five gunmen standing in line shooting their guns off as part of a firing squad.
Or perhaps it was a special militia holding a bridge in a foreign war zone.
This is in Georgian Bay Township/Muskoka. It’s still not clear what they were shooting at? pic.twitter.com/J7612176oI

Kamala Harris had her Secret Service protection cancelled by President Trump on Thursday.
Good. Having her escorted to go shopping at fancy stores had been a waste of our tax dollars.
Joe Biden had secretly extended her SS for a year.
Trump ended that. Kamala’s SS stops 9/1. pic.twitter.com/jwP4Z9F36D
