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
- The Bible does not prohibit wise use of medicine.
- Christian heritage has advanced healing through both prayer and medical knowledge.
- Scripture calls us to value knowledge and love our neighbor, including care for their health.
Todd White’s view equating modern medicine with witchcraft does not stand on biblical ground. His call to abandon medicine not only misrepresents faith, but endangers lives and contradicts Christian teaching.
Citing the Greek word ‘pharmakeia’ for sorcery, White denounces pharmaceuticals and encourages believers to reject modern treatments.
“Logic and reason are enemies of faith,” White said, urging congregants to throw away medicine.
Yet the Bible honors both faith and reason. Christian pioneers like Florence Nightingale shaped modern healthcare, inspired by their call from God.
God utilized doctors—even Luke, whom Paul calls “the beloved physician” (Colossians 4:14)—to serve and heal.
Jesus affirmed the importance of doctors when He said, “It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick” (Luke 5:31).
Scripture shows practical examples of medical care, as when oil and wine were used to treat wounds (Luke 10:34), and when Isaiah instructed using figs for healing (Isaiah 38:21).
Biblical wisdom encourages prayer as well as stewardship of medical advances, blessing generations with improved health and hope.
Misinformation can cause grave harm, contrary to Christ’s command to love our neighbors (Matthew 22:39) and the biblical warning that people “are destroyed for lack of knowledge” (Hosea 4:6).
Let us thank God for medical breakthroughs, uphold biblical stewardship, and compassionately care for others with both prayer and practical help. Faith, hope, and healing are gifts from God for the good of all.

- Pastor Rod Loy, leader at First Assembly of God in North Little Rock, is accused by Suzanne Lander of abuse beginning when she was a minor.
- The church initiated an external investigation and reports that no evidence supports the allegations against Pastor Loy.
- Loy has voluntarily stepped back from a national Assemblies of God executive role while an independent review is ongoing.
Serious accusations have been made against Pastor Rod Loy, whom Suzanne Lander claims abused her for two decades, beginning in her teenage years.
First Assembly of God has responded by both conducting a thorough investigation and resolutely defending Pastor Loy, finding no substantiating proof for the claims.
The church stresses transparency and a commitment to Biblical standards in handling these concerns while supporting Loy and encouraging prayer for all parties involved.
Pastor Loy’s leadership within the denomination remains notable, as he has served faithfully since 2001 and helped oversee growth and doctrinal integrity in the church body.
As this process unfolds, let us hold firm to truth, lift up those affected in prayer, and trust that God’s justice and mercy will prevail for everyone impacted.

- Al Mohler strongly opposed Gov. Beshear’s use of Scripture to justify support for LGBT policies.
- Mohler warned that theological liberalism is becoming a rival to biblical Christianity.
- Kentucky’s legislature overruled Beshear’s vetoes on both transgender procedures for minors and abortion restrictions.
Dr. Al Mohler, a leading Christian theologian, denounced Governor Andy Beshear’s statements using the Bible to back left-leaning social positions during his appearance on
“The View.”
Mohler insisted that twisting Biblical teachings for political agendas undermines true Christian faith.
“You have historic, orthodox biblical Christianity, and you have theological liberalism and whatever it produces next.”
Mohler said.
Gov. Beshear claimed his decisions, like vetoing bills restricting transgender procedures for minors, were motivated by the Golden Rule: to
“love our neighbor as ourselves.”
He echoed this belief in other forums, including the Democratic National Convention.
“Most of the decisions I make are based on that Golden Rule that says we love our neighbor as ourself, and that parable of the Good Samaritan that says everyone is our neighbor.”
Beshear stated.
Mohler argued that such selective use of faith contrasts with the biblical Christian worldview, noting that the current cultural divide reflects competing definitions of morality rooted in either Scripture or modern reinterpretation.
A pro-life nonprofit, The Family Foundation, chastised Beshear for, in their words, distorting Biblical teaching to promote abortion and gender ideology, emphasizing that true love seeks human flourishing as defined by God’s design.
Christians must remain steadfast, upholding Scripture as the foundation for moral decisions, and pray that truth prevails in public debate. Stay rooted in faith and freedom—stand boldly for biblical values in today’s culture.
