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.

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.

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.

Inside the Independence Movement in Canada’s Oil-Rich Alberta

CALGARY/DIDSBURY, Canada—The Canadian province of Alberta is known for its oil rigs, cowboys, cattle runs, and strong traditions. Like Texas, these features have shaped Alberta’s unique history and culture.

Here, endless prairies roll toward the rugged Rockies, and a spirit of resilience pulses through both the land and its people, fueling a desire for more autonomy from the federal government.

Some Albertans want to go further by holding a public referendum on making Alberta independent from Canada. A petition question on separation was approved under the province’s new laws earlier this year.
