Trump Administration Targets Campus Antisemitism Nationwide
In a bold move to uphold the values of faith, freedom, and family, a newly established task force under the leadership of President Trump is taking decisive action against the alarming rise of antisemitism on American university campuses. This initiative is a testament to the administration’s commitment to safeguarding the principles that define our great nation.
The task force is set to scrutinize ten universities, including the prestigious Columbia and Harvard, which have been identified as hotspots for antisemitic activities since October 7, 2023. These institutions may face significant federal funding cuts if found complicit in allowing “illegal protests” that threaten the safety and dignity of Jewish students. President Trump made it clear on his Truth Social platform that such behavior will not be tolerated, stating, “All Federal Funding will STOP for any College, School, or University that allows illegal protests.”
The U.S. Department of Justice has announced that the task force will engage with university officials, students, staff, and local law enforcement to assess the situation and determine if remedial actions are necessary. This comprehensive review could result in halting the $5 billion in federal grant commitments to Columbia University due to the institution’s “ongoing inaction in the face of relentless harassment of Jewish students.”
A joint statement from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Department of Education, and the General Services Administration confirmed the federal government’s resolve to combat antisemitism. They are considering halting $51.4 million worth of contracts with Columbia University, highlighting the administration’s dedication to ensuring that taxpayer dollars are not used to support institutions that fail to protect their students.
Columbia University, in response, issued a statement affirming their commitment to combatting antisemitism and all forms of discrimination. They expressed their intent to work with the federal administration to ensure the safety and wellbeing of their community. However, the reality on the ground tells a different story. Anti-Israel protesters recently invaded a campus building at Barnard College, an affiliate of Columbia, causing injuries and significant damage.
Barnard College President Laura Ann Rosenbury condemned the disruption as a “calculated act of intimidation” and emphasized the need to protect the campus community from such divisive actions. This sentiment resonates with the values of individual responsibility and respect for others that are foundational to a moral society.
Linda McMahon, the new Secretary of Education, has been vocal about the need to end intimidation and hatred on campuses. She stated, “Americans have watched in horror for more than a year now, as Jewish students have been assaulted and harassed on elite university campuses.” Her leadership underscores the importance of holding institutions accountable to their responsibility to protect all students from discrimination.
This initiative by the Trump administration is a powerful reminder of the need to uphold traditional values and ensure that our educational institutions remain bastions of learning and respect. As we stand firm in our faith and commitment to freedom, we must continue to support efforts that defend the rights and dignity of every individual, fostering a society that reflects the biblical principles upon which our nation was founded.

Faith Facts
- True love centers on Christ and grows through spiritual depth, not just feelings.
- God values both marriage and singleness, calling everyone to faithfulness and compassion.
- Real love is marked by patience, integrity, and daily choices rooted in Biblical principles.
In today’s culture, love is often imagined as effortless or perfect, especially around Valentine’s Day. Yet true love is anchored in faith, not fleeting fantasies or social trends.
If you are without a Valentine, know that you are never outside of God’s timing or care. Jesus showed dignity and compassion to every individual, reminding us that both hope and longing can have a place in our walk with God.
“Unless the LORD builds the house, the builders labor in vain.” (Psalm 127:1 NIV)
Genuine love is strongest when we put Christ at the center of our relationships and seek His direction every day. As Scripture teaches, becoming the right person in Christ matters more than just finding the right person.
“Seek first the kingdom of God.” (Matthew 6:33 NKJV)
Meaningful conversation builds strong bonds, especially when we speak honestly about faith, fears, and family. Wisdom values deep connection over surface-level talk.
“The purposes of a person’s heart are deep waters, but one who has insight draws them out.” (Proverbs 20:5 NIV)
Love thrives in daily acts of consistency—through kindness, keeping promises, and listening with respect. Real romance is shown in ordinary, faithful choices instead of mere grand gestures.
“Whoever can be trusted with very little can also be trusted with much.” (Luke 16:10 NIV)
Practicing restraint honors God’s plan for marriage and intimacy. Waiting cultivates trust and reminds us to pursue what is truly beneficial in our relationships.
“I have the right to do anything,” you say—but not everything is beneficial.” (1 Corinthians 6:12 NIV)
Compassion is central to real love; it listens, honors, and protects. Love values every heart as sacred and never uses others for personal gain.
“Love is patient, love is kind… it is not self-seeking.” (1 Corinthians 13:4-5 NIV)
After decades of marriage, I know love is strengthened by quick forgiveness, genuine prayer, and shared laughter. It is the everyday faithfulness—not the fleeting intensity—that invites God’s grace into our lives.
As the cards and gifts fade, God’s love endures, steady and unhurried. Whether this season is joyful or challenging, remember that you are deeply loved, and true love is formed through faith, patience, and grace.
Faith Facts
- U.S. lawmakers introduced the Nigeria Religious Freedom and Accountability Act to enhance oversight of religious freedom in Nigeria.
- The bill mandates annual U.S. reports on Nigeria’s efforts to protect vulnerable Christians and other minorities from violence.
- Christian lawmakers cite ongoing attacks by extremist groups and urge accountability from the Nigerian government.
Patriotic leaders in Congress are standing up for Christians facing violence in Nigeria by advancing the Nigeria Religious Freedom and Accountability Act. This bold step requires the U.S. government to report annually on Nigeria’s efforts to protect religious liberty and punish those promoting hatred.
“For years, Christians in Nigeria have faced unspeakable violence — churches burned, villages destroyed, families slaughtered — while the global community looked away,” Rep. Riley Moore said, affirming the need for U.S. action.
Rep. Chris Smith emphasized America’s responsibility to defend religious freedom abroad, especially where extremist groups target believers. The bill also aims to hold Nigerian leaders accountable, with measures that could include targeted visa bans.
Extremist groups like Boko Haram and ISWAP have long persecuted Christian and Muslim communities alike, but Christian villages are often hit hardest. Recent tragic attacks have devastated families and churches across northern and central Nigeria.
President Trump took significant steps to spotlight Christian persecution, redesignating Nigeria as a “Country of Particular Concern” and launching airstrikes to combat Islamic extremists.
“The United States has a responsibility to do its due diligence in ensuring that the Nigerian government is taking the proper steps to address and punish the systemic violence against Christians and non-radical Muslims by Islamist extremists, such as Boko Haram and Fulani terrorists,” Smith said.
If enacted, this legislation will require America’s leaders to consistently advocate for Nigeria’s persecuted faithful and ensure that defending religious freedom remains a priority.
Join us in praying for Nigeria’s Christians and urging our leaders to strengthen protections for believers worldwide.
