USA Boxing has changed its rules to allow men who identify as women to compete in the female category, a change that coach Cary Williams warns could be deadly.  Even one man competing against women is “all it takes to do damage; that’s all it takes to kill a woman,” says Williams, a USA Olympic-level…

On Friday, Ohio’s Republican governor, Mike DeWine, issued an “emergency” executive order to ban sex-reassignment surgeries for minors just one week after he vetoed a bill that would have banned those same surgeries and addressed related issues. The General Assembly is expected to begin the process of overriding his veto Wednesday. Why did DeWine sign…

Imagine the government told you what you can and cannot pray for, inside your own head. Such an idea seems better suited to “thoughtcrime” dystopias—such as George Orwell’s “1984” or Aldous Huxley’s “Brave New World,” where the government attempts to control your every thought—rather than to the modern, free English-speaking world. Yet a government in…

The Southern Poverty Law Center, a scandal-plagued far-left smear factory notorious for putting mainstream conservative and Christian organizations on a “hate map” with KKK chapters, released a new report demonizing opposition to gender ideology as “pseudoscience” and a tool of “white supremacy” and “theocracy.” “The controversy over trans health care is manufactured to reinforce both…

There’s a popular meme that originates with an episode of “SpongeBob SquarePants” in which a previously beaten-up individual once again is surrounded by angry townsfolk. As they close in, one attacker shakes his fist and shouts, “How many times do we have to teach you this lesson, old man?” Target Corp., the popular American department…

How humiliating and disheartening must it be for a Miss Universe pageant contestant to lose to a “woman” with a penis and testicles? That, regrettably, is not a hypothetical question. That’s exactly what happened to real young women earlier this year in preliminary pageants in two European nations, Portugal and the Netherlands. On Saturday night,…

President Joe Biden spoke Saturday at the Human Rights Campaign’s annual national dinner. Biden said it was his fourth appearance at the annual event, which is billed as “a national gathering for champions of LGBTQ equality.” Although the 80-year-old president rarely makes public appearances before 10 a.m. or after 4 p.m., he made an exception for his close allies,…

First lady Jill Biden introduced her husband, President Joe Biden as he spoke Saturday at the Human Rights Campaign’s annual national dinner, billed as “a national gathering for champions of LGBTQ equality.” Like a well-planned multi-course meal, Jill Biden prepared the favorable audience for her husband’s truth-lite entrée—which will be analyzed elsewhere—with a complementary appetizer so fanciful it deserves…

The First Amendment prohibits the government from acting with hostility against sincere religious beliefs, yet Colorado twice prosecuted Christian baker Jack Phillips with such hostility.
