British woman removed from ultramarathon after Muslims threaten to behead her
A British woman has been withdrawn from an ultramarathon after receiving online threats to behead her.
Sarah Porter was 30 miles through the 108-mile Montane Winter Spine Challenger South endurance race along the Pennine Way when organisers made the decision to withdraw her because of safety concerns.
Porter was undertaking the challenge to raise money for young girls and women in Afghanistan and received death threats online, with some social media posts appearing to suggest she would be decapitated on January 11.
WTF?
This illegal Somilian REALLY doesn't want to go back home.
Luckily no one cares what he wants.

Ontarians toasting Doug Ford’s Crown Royal ban, poll suggests
Ontarians support Premier Doug Ford’s removal of Crown Royal whisky from LCBO shelves to protest the company’s closure of its bottling plant here, a new Abacus Data poll suggests.
Ford has vowed to stop selling the popular Manitoba-made rye at Ontario liquor stores after U.K.-based Diageo shutters its Amherstburg factory near Windsor next month, which will cost about 200 jobs.
“Crown Royal should have thought twice before closing their plant here,” the premier told reporters at Queen’s Park on Tuesday, expressing concerns Diageo is moving jobs stateside.
It’s distilled in Manitoba.
‘I carried my wife’s body for an hour and a half’ – BBC hears stories of protesters killed in Iran
Heading home after joining a protest in Tehran on 8 January, Reza put his arms around his wife Maryam to protect her. “Suddenly, I felt my arm go light – there was only her jacket in my hands,” he told a family member, who later spoke to BBC Persian. Maryam had been fatally shot – and they had no idea where the bullet had come from.
The current protests gripping Iran began as demonstrations against the economic conditions in the country.
Sky's international correspondent @alexrossiSKY reports on how Iran's regime is trying to seize back control of the narrative.

‘They’ve taxed us to death in Toronto’: Doug Ford says new revenue tools not on table in New Deal 2.0 talks
Ontario Premier Doug Ford says he has no plans to provide Toronto with new revenue tools through discussions on the next phase of the new deal between the city and the province.
“Revenue tools are called taxes. They want to tax the pants off you. They’ve taxed us to death in Toronto. Enough, enough of these taxes,” Ford told reporters at Queen’s Park on Tuesday.
“As I say, government doesn’t have an income problem. They have a revenue problem. Stop spending money. Start focusing on areas that you can drive efficiencies.”
Indian immigrant workers protest after province returns PR files in Ontario
TORONTO — A group of immigrant workers is protesting in Ontario after provincial immigration officials returned their permanent residency applications following nearly two years of processing, leaving many without valid work permits and unable to apply through alternative pathways.
The workers say they applied under a provincial nominee stream that has since been closed.

SCOTUS Signals Willingness To Uphold State Laws Protecting Women’s Sports
A majority of Supreme Court justices appear poised to uphold state laws protecting women’s sports from trans-identifying men.
The high court held oral arguments on Tuesday in Little v. Hecox and West Virginia v. B.P.J., which center around statutes passed by Idaho and West Virginia stipulating that girls’ sports are reserved for females. The justices will address the question of whether the laws violate the 14th Amendment’s equal protection clause, or, in West Virginia’s case, Title IX.
The Slow and Silent Islamic Transformation of the West
And Western society has criminalized discussion about it.
Through demographic shifts, and ideological subversion, Islam continues to conquer, in slow motion, the European countries of the West. More on Islam’s march to victory in Europe can be found here: “The Islamification of Western democracies: The great, dangerous silent takeover – opinion,” by Eliyahu Haddad, Jerusalem Post, December 31, 2025:
What once required 500 years of military conquest now unfolds in just 50 years through immigration and demographics. Europe’s Muslim population has surged from less than 1% in 1970 to a projected 10 to 14% by 2050, a transformation
There are now 46 million Muslims in Europe, out of a total population of 745 million.
Transgender teen killer loses bid to stay in Ontario women’s prison after threatening inmates and staff
A transgender woman convicted of first-degree murder in the killing of a 13-year-old Edmonton girl who was lured to a golf course, sexually assaulted, strangled, stabbed, then bludgeoned to death with a hammer, has lost her bid to stay in a women’s prison.
Vicious little creep.
Outsourcing Maccabi decision to AI shames West Midlands Police
Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood this afternoon stated that she no longer has confidence in the head of West Midlands Police, after it was revealed that the force used AI in compiling its risk assessment for its handling of a football match between Aston Villa and Maccabi Tel Aviv in November.
Chief Constable Craig Guildford admitted earlier today that AI invented a fictitious game between the Israeli club and West Ham. This hardly helped his case that the decision to ban Maccabi fans in Birmingham was a foregone conclusion in the face of resistance from Muslim lobby groups. It does, however, strengthen allegations that police fabricated their intelligence case. Another question springs to mind, too: why did Britain’s third-largest police force rely on AI in such a contentious piece of decision-making?
The West is Orwellian, says the Pope
WHEN the Pope addressed the Vatican ambassadors accredited to the Holy See his speech ought to have made the headlines of every free newspaper across the Western world.
Perhaps we should be grateful that Leo XIV used the word ‘Orwellian’ because that caught the attention of a few commentators. Otherwise, one of the most important papal contributions to public cultural and political dialogue I have ever read disappeared into the fog of international news.
Every country for itself: The chilling message in Mark Carney’s snub of Taiwan
Imagine for a moment that a delegation of friendly foreign lawmakers has been urgently summoned back home in the middle of an all-expenses-paid visit to Ottawa.
Invited to Canada in the hope of building relationships and nurturing alliances in a hostile world, they’ve fled to avoid angering U.S. President Donald Trump, or to be seen as fraternizing with a territory he claims as the 51st American state.
The insult to Canada and to Canadians would be obvious.
Denmark sends troops to Greenland as talks with US collapse
Denmark and at least three of its European allies are sending troops to Greenland after negotiations in Washington failed to deliver a breakthrough on President Trump’s demands to own the territory.
The hastily convened military deployment, a prelude to a larger exercise called Operation Arctic Endurance, will involve soldiers, naval vessels and aircraft from Denmark, and small numbers of unarmed or lightly armed personnel from Germany, Norway and Sweden.
Norway confirmed that it was sending two officers and Germany, which described the deployment as a “reconnaissance” mission, will send 13 personnel. France, Canada and the Netherlands are among the other Nato allies that may make contributions.
BREAKING:🚨 URSULA JUST SHOWED HER HAND
Ursula von der Leyen just went on camera and declared that Greenland “belongs to Denmark and NATO” — directly rebuking President Trump.
Let’s translate that.
This isn’t about the Greenlandic people.

A pilot for Canada’s gun buyback was a failure. The Liberals are committing anyway
When an individual falls victim to the sunk cost fallacy, the consequences that follow are generally even worse. Maybe it’s an extra few thousand wasted on a rust bucket of a car just to feel like the money invested in it wasn’t for nothing. Maybe it means staying in a bad relationship that ought to have ended years ago. Maybe it’s why – just to pick a totally random example – a columnist will persist with a snoozer of a column because she’s typed out 500 words already. These are emotional, illogical decisions, but humans are emotional, illogical creatures who often have a hard time reversing course when we feel like we’ve already invested a lot of money, time or attention.
