Trump and his supporters claim that President Joe Biden won in 2020 due to widespread voter fraud. Despite dozens of legal challenges and numerous audits and recounts, no evidence has emerged corroborating this extraordinary allegation. Nonetheless, a large percentage of voters appear not to trust the nation’s election system and are supportive of candidates who want to investigate the last election further. New polling from Morning Consult and Politico published on Wednesday showed that 48 percent of registered voters said they would cast ballots for a candidate in 2022 who believes the results of the 2020 presidential election should be investigated....

The Pew Research Center study revealed the country’s widening partisan divide has bled into Americans’ dating habits, with 45 percent of Democrats or left-leaning voters outright declaring they “definitely would not” pursue a relationship with a Trump voter. That share is more than double the 19 percent of Republicans or right-leaning respondents who said they “definitely would not” date someone who voted for Hillary Clinton in 2016. And based purely on party lines, 43 percent of Democrats said they would not likely date anyone who is a Republican, compared to just 24 percent of Republicans who said the same of their liberal counterparts....

Fifth-year coach Scott Frost, appearing at his weekly Thursday radio show, estimated his offensive linemen are vomiting 15 to 20 times per practice under new position coach Donovan Raiola. “It’s not because they’re not in shape — he’s just working them hard,” Frost said on the Huskers Radio Network. “I think they love it. He’s kind of freed them up to go be aggressive and I love the way they’re coming off the ball....

Alfonso Sosa, the coach that has his team way deeper than anyone projected, has shown a good sense of how to game plan for individual matches, with his bunker against Pachuca in the second leg of the quarterfinal a surprisingly effective tactic against the team that had been the best at scoring in the regular season. But while the series will be decided Sunday, there may be some concern for Sosa....

Tanden’s nomination was highly controversial, with members from both sides of the political aisle having called her a divisive figure from the beginning.

The report, “COVID-19: How Hateful Extremists are Exploiting the Pandemic”, states: “We have heard reports of British Far Right activists and Neo-Nazi groups promoting anti-minority narratives by encouraging users to deliberately infect groups, including Jewish communities and of Islamists propagating anti-democratic and anti-Western narratives, claiming that COVID-19 is divine punishment from Allah on the West for their alleged ‘degeneracy’....

Nepal is now effectively paralyzed by terror. The Maoists control some 40 percent of the country, where they mete out their brand of justice in “people’s courts” and conscript one child from every household. Bombings, kidnappings and murders in the night are routine. National elections, scheduled to be held this past fall, were indefinitely postponed after the communist guerrillas threatened attacks. When rebels ordered the schools closed in December, a string of bombings kept 5....

Kidd will also change the responsibility of his remaining assistants. He previously had offensive and defensive coaches, but will now simply allow his staff to "be coaches." Frank will remain on the staff to some extent, still filing reports to the team. He will not attend practices or games, however.
