Through the Dobson Policy & Culture Center, we focus on issues related to righteousness in the culture, such as the sanctity of human life, the God-ordained institution of marriage, parental rights, freedom of religion, and other liberties guaranteed in the Constitution and Bill of Rights.
Liberty University (in Lynchburg, Virginia) finds itself on the front lines again in the battle to preserve religious liberty. A federal judge has ruled against the university in a dispute with an employee who claims to have “transitioned” to a woman.
The transgender issue continues to stoke controversy across America. But increasingly, public opinion is moving solidly against radical trans ideology.
Another wave of vicious hatred directed toward Jews has erupted at Columbia University and other schools in recent weeks. The country was shocked when the same thing happened in 2024. Several “Ivy League” school presidents lost their jobs that year for failing to take serious action to hold students responsible.
But in recent years, Maine has sadly embraced the woke agenda. Under the leadership of Governor Janet Mills, Maine has enabled young men to play girls’ sports.
We were told for years that the border could not be secured unless a massive new immigration law was passed. That claim was false. The solution was simple: an administration in Washington that understands we are not a nation if we do not have control over our borders.
Postmodernism recognizes no heroes and builds no statues. That was my thought while in London recently for the Alliance for Responsible Citizenship (ARC) conference. After the event concluded, I took a few hours to do what scores of American tourists do: I visited the Tower Bridge, ate scones with clotted cream and jam, and walked for miles, marveling at London’s classical beauty.
Also encouraging is President Trump’s appointments of earnest, faithful Christians to many key administration posts, including his cabinet. Having followers of Jesus Christ at the highest level of our government is essential for America’s future.
The battle against corruption in Washington, D.C., and out of control spending continues to dominate the news. We simply can’t keep spending trillions of dollars that we don’t have.
The rapper known as Ye (formerly Kanye West) has made a career of controversy. Recently, Ye chose the Super Bowl for his latest stunt: He released a commercial in select markets that included a link to his website. When people visited the site, they found that he was selling t-shirts with a Nazi swastika emblazoned on them.
Donald Trump’s boldness in his second term continues to astonish the country. We are particularly gratified that he is rolling back transgender ideology and has promoted multiple pro-life initiatives. Both are JDFI priorities. The most comprehensive challenge he has confronted is the massive corruption in the federal government, where millions of employees spend trillions of our tax dollars every year.
