Parkrun's policy of allowing runners to self-identify their gender could force women out of elite athletics, a former marathon star has warned.
Mara Yamauchi, a former British Olympic runner, said the weekly 5km race (Snip) at amateur level, grassroots, beginner level, females – women and girls – must have fairness. 'If you say that only at professional or elite level do females deserve fairness, but lower down we must be inclusive, that's an appalling message to send to women and girls at those levels. 'That will be very discouraging, demotivating and unfair for them. Some will leave sport altogether and we won't have any elite female athletes in future.'
Chicago - Texas officials chartered a private plane to fly migrants to Chicago on Tuesday night, according to Mayor Brandon Johnson's office.
Police at O'Hare Airport were told a private plane chartered by the Texas Department of Emergency Management landed and left approximately 100 asylum seekers at Signature Flight. (Snip) Texas Governor Greg Abbott's office sent this statement in regard to the private migrant flight.
"Because Mayor Johnson is failing to live up to his city's ‘Welcoming City’ ordinance by targeting migrant buses from Texas, we are expanding our operation to include flights to Chicago, like the Biden Administration has been doing across the country.
More than one-third of US adults has prediabetes, a serious condition that can lead to type 2 diabetes.
And a whopping 80% of those people don’t even know they have prediabetes, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
But the CDC is pushing back on the rise in type 2 diabetes with a “Be Your Own Hero” initiative aimed at getting people to take a one-minute prediabetes test so they can delay or prevent type 2 diabetes.
“Diabetes is a devastating public health problem, and I cannot overstate the toll that it continues to take on millions of people across the United States,” Dr. Christopher Holliday, director of the CDC’s Division
Chicago - A special City Council meeting to discuss Chicago's sanctuary city status descended into chaos Tuesday.
The meeting was suspended amid a large contingent of loud and angry demonstrators that had taken over the gallery in the City Council chambers, expressing their displeasure over Chicago's status as a sanctuary city. Some protestors were kicked out of the rules committee meeting, which had to be shut down because nobody could hear what anybody was saying.
Last week, there was an attempt to take a vote on an ordinance that would create a referendum on next spring's ballot, allowing the public to decide whether Chicago should continue its status as a sanctuary city.
Conditions in the Gaza Strip have long been dire, with the territory referred to by some as the world's 'largest open air prison'. (Snip) But as the territory's 2.3million people suffer, several hundred millionaires are registered in the coastal Strip.
And while the majority of citizens in the densely populated territory - which is a quarter of the size of Greater London - languish in poverty, a select few live in marble-floored mansions and luxury hotels.
According to the Embassy of Israel in the US, three of Hamas's most senior leaders - Mousa Abu Marzouk, Khaled Mashal and Ismail Haniyeh - have net worths of more than $3billion each.

Some locals in the area, which is home to a sizeable Jewish community, have slammed the officers over their 'disgusting actions'. But the Met has insisted they were merely taking steps to 'stop issues escalating' and to 'avoid community tension'.
The president of Accuracy in Media — the group that deployed “doxxing trucks” to Ivy League schools mired in pro-Palestine controversies — had his home searched by a fleet of rifle-toting SWAT officers in the early hours of Friday morning, The Post has learned.
Accuracy in Media boss Adam Guillette was away from his North Florida home when he received a call from local authorities on Friday notifying him that officers had searched his home around 1:30 a.m. after receiving a call falsely claiming that Guillette was at home and pointing a gun at his wife’s head.
A group representing New York’s black clergy is rallying around Israel and demanding a Queens pol disavow the Democratic Socialists of America for its support of Hamas.
Rev. Johnnie Green, president of Mobilizing Preachers and Communities, representing 300 houses of worship in the region, sent a letter urging Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani to sever ties with the DSA for organizing rallies where protesters cheered Hamas’ slaughter of Jews.
Mamdani, who represents Astoria and western Queens, has also participated in pro-Palestinian rallies following Hamas’ sneak attack on Israel, (Snip) “What happened was not activism. It was not militant. It was absolute murder,” Sharpton said Monday on MSNBC.

Dr. Mika Tosca, a climate scientist and activist, slammed the Jewish State in an Instagram story amid the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas.
“Israelis are pigs. Savages,” she wrote. “Very bad people. Irredeemable excrement.” (Snip) “It’s disgusting and grotesque. May they all rot in hell.”
An Illinois state appeals court has ruled that Illinoisans can be fired from their jobs for refusing to get a Covid vaccine, because a state right of conscience law that otherwise protects people for refusing to participate in morally objectionable medical procedures doesn’t apply to anything related to Covid after Illinois Democrats specifically rewrote the law to ensure its protections didn’t apply to Covid vaccine mandates.
On Oct. 12, a three-justice panel of the Illinois First District Appellate Court backed hospital company Advocate Health, saying the hospital and medical clinic system can’t be sued by a nurse who was fired after she asserted her religious beliefs did not allow her
Chicago - The Chicago City Council’s only Jewish member is facing a bit of resistance to her plan to champion a "resolution in solidarity with Israel" in response to the attack by Hamas that has killed 1,000 people in Israel and subsequent Israeli airstrikes that killed 900 in Gaza.
The surprise opposition comes from Ald. Rossana Rodriguez-Sanchez (33rd), Mayor Brandon Johnson’s handpicked chair of the Committee on Health and Human Relations.(Snip)Rodriguez Sanchez wrote, "Although I wholeheartedly agree that the attacks from HAMAS are brutal and that no one should be subjected to that violence, I also understand that the situation is more nuanced

Speaking to Scripps News moments before the start of Monday's Iowa caucuses, former Vermont Gov. Howard Dean said that none of the leading Republican presidential candidates look presidential.
Dean, who was a presidential hopeful in 2004, had a disappointing showing during the Democratic Iowa caucuses that year. [SNIP] "One thing that Republicans have a problem with is none of their candidates look presidential at this point," Dean told Scripps News. "Certainly not any of the leading candidates."
"Biden is the president and he's acting like a president," Dean added about not campaigning in Iowa.
Hollywood filmmaker-actor Rob Reiner is taking aim at Christians who support former President Donald Trump, saying he doesn’t understand how anyone who believes in the teachings of Jesus Christ could vote for Trump. [Snip] “Jesus told us to do unto others as you would have them do unto you. How in God’s name can anyone who believes in the teachings of Jesus support Donald Trump?” he wrote. [Snip] As Breitbart News reported, Rob Reiner is producing a new documentary God and Country, which seeks to keep the left’s favorite new boogeyman “Christian nationalism” in the cultural conversation heading into the November elections.
Cable news pundit Joy Reid claimed Donald Trump won the Iowa caucus because 'white Christians' believe he will 'return' the US to them.
Reid called the Midwest state 'hyper evangelical' and therefore full of voters who support the former president in his campaign to regain the White House.
Trump handily won the Iowa caucus on Tuesday night with 51 per cent of the vote in frigid conditions to kick off the primary season. Reid discussed how overrepresented white Christians were in Iowa compared to the rest of the country on MSNBC coverage of the caucus.

to Abandon Trump, Calls Him a ‘Unique Danger’ 35 replies
On the eve of the Iowa Republican caucus, the New York Times editorial board begged Republicans to abandon 2024 frontrunner former President Donald Trump in a piece Monday morning.
In the piece titled “The Responsibility of Republican Voters,” the left-wing newspaper tried to guilt Republicans into supporting someone else.
The board said:
Iowa Republicans who will gather on Monday to cast the first votes of the 2024 presidential campaign season, and voters in New Hampshire and the states that will follow, have one essential responsibility: to nominate a candidate who is fit to serve as president, one who will ‘preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.’

Neighborhood Due to Theft, Locals Outraged (Video) 32 replies
Walgreens is closing a store in a lower income neighborhood of Boston due to rampant theft and the people who live there are outraged. They’re actually protesting the store over news of the closure.
This is a familiar chain of events in liberal cities. The Democrats who run the city allow theft and don’t punish criminals. Then the store decides to close and suddenly everyone is angry at the store instead of the people who actually caused the problem.
This is going to happen in more and more cities until Democrats decide they want to punish crime.
Nikki Haley bowed out of the two upcoming Republican presidential primary debates in New Hampshire the morning after she landed third place in the Iowa caucuses.
The former South Carolina governor announced the news on social media, saying the next time she debates she will be on stage beside Joe Biden or Donald Trump, who has skipped all five Republican primary debates.
“We’ve had five great debates in this campaign. Unfortunately, Donald Trump has ducked all of them. He has nowhere left to hide,” she said on Tuesday. “The next debate I do will either be with Donald Trump or with Joe Biden. I look forward to it.”
Pope Francis said this week he believes in hell but likes to think of it as “empty” because of God’s great mercy.
“What I will say is not a dogma of faith but something personal,” the pontiff said Sunday evening on the Italian television program Che Tempo Che Fa.
“I like to think of hell as empty; I hope it is,” he told the show’s host, Fabio Fazio.

In March 2018, for instance, the Italian daily La Repubblica reported that the pope had told his longtime friend, Eugenio Scalfari, founder of the newspaper, that he does not believe hell exists.
Former Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson on Tuesday suspended his Republican presidential campaign, a day after finishing a distant sixth place in the GOP's Iowa caucuses.
Hutchinson's departure narrows the Republican primary field to just former President Donald Trump, who won Iowa in a landslide; Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis; and Nikki Haley, the former United Nations ambassador and ex-South Carolina governor. "I congratulate Donald J. Trump for his win last night in Iowa and to the other candidates who competed and garnered delegate support," Hutchinson said in a statement.
"Today, I am suspending my campaign for President and driving back to Arkansas."
Hutchinson defended his campaign message of being a principled Republican with
The United Nations (UN) Secretary-General demands a total phase out of fossil fuels — to stop a “climate crisis” that doesn’t actually exist. How dare you own a car despite the fact there’s weather, you cretinous serf!
Speaking at the World Economic Forum’s (WEF) Davos 2024 conference, António Guterres condescendingly lectured about his favorite topic (when he’s not supporting Palestinian jihadis against Israel): the alleged crisis of climate change. Because climate alarmists have only been dead wrong for 50+ years, so we know they’re right this time. “2023 went down as the hottest year on record,” Guterres lied. “But it could be one of the coolest years [of] the future.”
Kamala Harris laughed at Nikki Haley's frequent criticism of her, telling ABC News: 'Let's see what Iowa says to her!'
The vice president sat down with the news network on the same day Iowa voters were going to their caucus sites. Haley ended up placing third behind winner Donald Trump and second place finisher Ron DeSantis.
Trump leads the polls for the Republican nomination and President Joe Biden has made him a frequent target on the campaign trail. Harris expressed confidence that their ticket could beat the former president the same as they did in the 2020 election.
After visiting all 99 counties in Iowa and failing to win a single one, specifically because he visited all 99 counties in Iowa, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis declared the dark, unknown and mysterious forces of universe tried to stop him, “threw everything at him,” yet he alone stands victorious.
Yeah, he actually said that.
The DeSantis campaign put most of their resources into Iowa and gained a total of 23,000 votes (roughly 21%), quickly declaring victory in a tenuous 2nd place finish and proclaiming their victory ticket has been punched. The cognitive disconnect is exceptionally strong; but hey, everyone has a role to play – right? WATCH:
Hamas’ sinister network of tunnels underneath the Gaza Strip may be over 350 miles long – or hundreds of miles more than initial estimates, sources said this week.
The tunnels may run for anywhere between 350 to 450 miles, and boast a staggering 5,700 entrance shafts, senior Israeli officials told The New York Times.
The new estimates – which could not be confirmed – are over 100 miles longer than the original numbers, which placed the tunnel network at around 250 miles long, the outlet noted.
The tunnels’ vastness is “extraordinary” given that Gaza’s longest point only stretches about 25 miles, the Times said.

How evil must one be to support what Hamas has done and continues to do to Israelis?
