Democrats are waging a "lawfare" campaign against former President Donald Trump, but it may actually be hurting Joe Biden's reelection efforts. According to the latest Harvard CAPS/Harris poll, voters will be largely split if a jury convicts the former president of crimes. If Trump were to be convicted either "of crimes related to his handling of classified presidential documents" or "for RICO in trying to influence the 2020 election results in Georgia," voters would be split 50% to 50% between Trump and Biden. However, if Trump were to be convicted "for inciting the Capitol riots of January 6th," he would beat Biden 52% to 48%.

Unfortunately, however prominent its art and wealth may be, Nigeria is responsible for the most violent persecution of Christians in all of Africa. And, tragically, the brutal violence against those endangered believers continues to escalate. Ferocious attacks by radical Islamists continues to rip apart the nation's vulnerable Christian population.

Pro-life pregnancy resource centers - which have faced dozens of vicious attacks, from vandalism to firebombings - are now defending themselves on another front: the court room. On Tuesday, they fought back for their constitutional rights and the right of mothers to carry wanted babies to a healthy delivery.

It looks like Donald Trump won't be the only president spending a lot of time in court this summer. Thanks to Joe Biden's universally despised (and unconstitutionally executed) changes to Title IX, this White House now finds itself on the wrong side of an avalanche of lawsuits. The legal floodgates opened Monday, within hours of the Biden administration finalizing its radical rewrite of 52 years of women's rights. And conservatives warn: this is just the beginning.

With tent cities springing up across American campuses, filled with anti-Semitic activists who are openly supporting U.S.-designated foreign terrorist organizations, you could be forgiven for suspecting that this activism was not wholly organic. And you would be right.

Last week, President Joe Biden "announced plans to kneecap lady athletes: introducing sweeping, radical changes to Title IX that would trample on fairness for females in locker rooms, sports and other single-sex spaces. All with absolutely no regard for biological reality," the New York Post wrote. This alone sparked immense outrage from those who care about protecting biological women from LGBT agendas. But adding gasoline to the fire, only days later, the Health and Human Services Department (HHS) made known their plans to include "gender identity" alongside the definition of "sex" under Section 1557 of Obamacare.

Given the Marxist fixation with seizing power, it's strange that woke university administrators can't seem to use it better. After all, they, not the students, are the legitimate authority on campus. For campus administrators who need remedial training on how to do their jobs, Texas provided a tutorial Wednesday when University of Texas (UT) at Austin students tried to establish a Gaza solidarity encampment there within sight of the state capitol building. Here's a six-step handbook to shutting down illegal campus takeovers, the Texas way.

President Biden must be trying really hard to lose this election. Just when you think he's alienated as many people as possible, his White House decides to pick a fight with every woman in America. If the administration was under some grand delusion that taking a sledgehammer to Title IX would endear them to voters, they're in the middle of a very rude reality check. The reaction can pretty much be summed up Kristen Waggoner's way: "See you in court, POTUS."

When people ask Mike Johnson (R-La.) what it's like to be speaker, he puts it this way, "I feel like a triage nurse on the battlefield. They wheel a bloody body in and yell, 'Stop the bleeding!' And I will, and then turn around and there's another bloody body." Now imagine a patient who doesn't appreciate the work the nurse is trying to do, and you have a pretty good picture of some House Republicans too.

Americans stand just weeks away from handing over massive amounts of taxpayer funding, protective equipment intended for U.S. citizens, and an incalculable amount of influence over U.S. policy to the World Health Organization (WHO), critics warn.

When she thinks back on that day, she feels the knot in her stomach. There was a "dark energy," Kim Russell remembers, as her bosses sat in a circle around her - one in a long line of disciplinary hearings the Oberlin lacrosse coach had endured. "I hope you feel remorse for it," her athletic director said. Kim didn't. Voicing her support of girls' sports - her life's passion - was what she believed. If that's the case, Kim was told, "you fall into a category of people that are kind of filled with hate in the world." Life, as she knew it, had changed forever.
