Dr. James Dobson, Focus on the Family founder and advisor to 5 presidents, dead at 89  Dr. James Dobson, founder of the Focus on the Family Christian ministry and former advisor to five U.S. presidents, has died at 89.
   Dobson, a psychologist widely regarded as one of the most influential Christian leaders of the past half-century, passed away Thursday morning, the Dr. James Dobson Family Institute (JDFI) announced.
   "Dr. Dobson was a pioneer — a man of deep conviction whose voice shaped the way generations view faith, family, and culture," said Gary Bauer, senior vice president of public policy at the JDFI. Image

Legendary Evangelical Leader and Founder of Focus on the Family Dr. James Dobson Passes Away At 89, Dobson was still doing what he loved, broadcasting biblical values from his stately office in Colorado Springs that includes a majestic view of Pike's Peak. And like Pike's Peak, which towers more than 14,000 feet over the city, Dobson said one thing remains paramount over all else—teaching your children to love the Lord.
   "There's nothing more important than introducing them to Jesus Christ," Dobson said. "If you don't get that done and they die in an unrepentant state, according to my theology, you never see them again. Boy, if that doesn't put it in perspective... so to have an opportunity to influence those families is a great thrill for me."

Here’s A Pile Of Evidence Lockdowns Would Never Have Happened Without Corporate Media  “The more fear, the more ‘seriously’ you took COVID, the more virtuous you were and the more you raised your status among other progressives or Democrats,” Zweig notes. So millions of American children had to suffer. Millions of poor children and children with disabilities had to wear masks, be left alone, and miss years of school.
   Now there’s a school absenteeism crisis reaching record levels. American young people today possess the lowest average level of knowledge and skills in U.S. history. That’s a serious national problem amid record debt that our mentally and economically handicapped rising generations are expected to pay off.

Instead of being open and honest about the vaccine’s limitations, government doubled down and directed their anger at the small, unvaccinated minority as covid cases began to rise. Forgetting that you were only classed as vaccinated two weeks after your second jab, President Biden lied about the data, telling Americans in a news conference that ‘there was only one confirmed positive case per 5,000 fully vaccinated.’ It was ‘a pandemic of the unvaccinated’, he said...
...Follow the Silenced shows in forensic detail how all valid attempts to raise the alarm were silenced, and shamefully, how those who ‘did the right thing’ were attacked when it all went wrong. Clinical pathologist Ryan Cole sums up the situation. He says: ‘If you want to know what’s going on, follow the money. If you want to know the truth, look at who’s being silenced.’ Full movie here

Antisemitism Is Proliferating in Our Public Schools...Jews face discrimination in many K-12 schools and colleges     Nationally, 83% of Jewish college students have experienced or witnessed some form of antisemitism since the October 2023 Hamas attacks on Israel, according to a recent poll.
    Anti-Jewish bigotry also exists in K-12 schools. In late 2024, the Sequoia Union High School District in California’s Silicon Valley faced a lawsuit over widespread antisemitism experienced by students, with administrators standing by and allowing it to worsen. When SUHSD parents and students raised concerns—through emails, petitions, and formal complaints—the District responded with “bureaucratic obfuscation and outright denial, demonstrating a deliberate indifference to SUHSD’s Jewish students. Emails were ignored, and meetings were canceled without explanation,” the lawsuit states. Image

Business education’s embrace of social activism is another example of an institution abandoning its core mission. Just as many journalism schools now emphasize advocacy over objectivity and law schools prioritize social justice over legal reasoning, business schools are redefining their purpose from understanding markets to changing society.

Evil Flourishes in our Public Schools When Good Citizens Do Nothing  Taxpayer-funded schools have decreed that biology is now bigotry, and you will pay the price if you don’t bow to the new trans religion. Three high school boys found out the hard way. They were secretly videoed in their own locker room by a female student who “identified” as a boy – a condition the school promotes no matter whose privacy is violated or which laws are broken. 

Schools Are Finally Tackling The Greatest Threat To American Children  School districts in states like California, Colorado, Georgia, Maine, Ohio, Texas, Florida, Louisiana, South Carolina, Utah, and Virginia are banning the use of cell phones in some capacity during the school day. This is not an exhaustive list, as thousands of school districts in at least 22 states across the country have implemented technology policies that restrict access to personal devices. However, it shows that, across political lines, there is a growing understanding that unfettered access to technology has been detrimental to our children.
