Columbia University administrators appear to have given up any hope of reasserting control of their property after days of shocking anti-Semitic protests. One rabbi's counsel to Jewish students to return home was "the reason why classes went virtual at Columbia today," Rabbi Yaakov Menken, managing director of the Coalition for Jewish Values, said Monday on "Washington Watch." By Tuesday, Columbia University announced it was switching to hybrid classes for the remainder of the semester.

<p>For over 6 months, conflict has ravaged the Middle East. It seems it wasn't enough for Israel to fight one enemy, but recently Iran launched 800 missiles at them, furthering the chaos and destruction in Israel. Host Joseph Backholm is joined by Luke Moon, executive director of the Philos Project, for a conversation surrounding the current and future state of Israel. Starting from the beginning, Luke and Joseph analyze the Biden administration's shifting support of Israel and the constant public call for a ceasefire. For decades, there has been a strange and irrational hatred toward Jewish people, the worldwide scapegoat. In this war, there is one clear victim: Israel. Listen now for a current update on the war and an estimate of how long this conflict will last.</p>

While June is over a month away, West Potomac High School is offering a variety of Pride events over the next few weeks - including a discussion with Fairfax County Public Schools (FCPS) Pride, a drag queen brunch, and a spring musical production of Kinky Boots. Beyond the Page Theatre Company sent a mass email to "Theatre Arts Patrons" on April 17, advertising the three upcoming events.

Summit Ministries and RMG Research released data on Monday showcasing "the startling difference between the sentiments of all voters and Gen Z voters specifically, those born between 1997 and 2012," Breitbart reported. These particular results, which involved 1,003 registered voters, highlighted Gen Z's terrorist sympathies with the label, "Landmark poll: Gen Z sides with Hamas."

In February 2023, producers at The Daily Caller said, "enough is enough" when they released their documentary, "Damaged." In just under an hour, the documentary exposes the truth about what LGBT activists call "gender-affirming care." The Daily Caller wrote, "Transition surgeries on children are appalling, but the media is hellbent on convincing us that these procedures are good for our kids." Over time, though, the reality becomes clearer and clearer: these procedures are not good, but permanently harmful.

On my office wall hangs a framed print, created by Australian Jewish artist and friend Camille Fox. Her original painting is titled "Last Passover in Baghdad." It depicts a gathering of 15 Jews of all ages, gathered around an elegant dining table, with a moonlit Middle East cityscape in the background. Their faces are mostly troubled and uncertain. Between 1950 and 1952, nearly all of Iraq's endangered Jewish population had to flee their ancient homeland and resettle in Israel; the same happened in several other Middle Eastern countries.

Police officers forcing women to take pregnancy tests during traffic stops, pregnant mothers being chained to hospital beds while tests are performed to verify rape - such are the dystopian images offered by California's pro-abortion governor in a new spate of ads aired across the country. Starting Sunday, Governor Gavin Newsom (D-Calif.) and his pro-abortion PAC Campaign for Democracy debuted a 30-second TV spot entitled "Fugitive" in Alabama. The video depicts a young woman trying to cross state lines to seek an abortion who is pulled over by a police officer armed with a pregnancy test. A narrator intones, "Trump Republicans want to criminalize young Alabama women who travel for reproductive care."

Even under the best of circumstances, sitting in the pressure cooker of the House speakership was never something Mike Johnson (R-La.) wanted. "This was not a job that I aspired to, Tony," he told Family Research Council's president during Saturday's interview. But ironically, it's a job his own party seems determined to take from him.

A dust storm of political madness is brewing in Phoenix, Arizona as Grand Canyon University faces the continued threats of Department of Education Secretary Miguel Cardona. Christians have watched as the Biden administration attacks biblical views left and right, with a particularly vehement disregard of the sanctity of life and marriage. As such, it can't be too surprising that Cardona, a part of this leftist administration, has "vowed" to shut down America's largest Christian university.

Members of Congress chanted "Ukraine!" and waved a sea of rippling, blue-and-gold flags across the House floor, as the House of Representatives approved a massive $95 billion foreign aid package that benefits Ukraine, Taiwan, and both sides of the Israel-Hamas war.

On Wednesday, House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) announced that the text for a bill giving aid to Israel would be released in the wake of Iran's extraordinary attack on the Jewish state over the weekend. Experts and lawmakers say Israel needs the full backing of the U.S. as the existential threats against the only democracy in the Middle East continue to heighten.

The Biden administration's revision of a civil rights statute designed to protect women's rights in education erases women's protections, rewrites landmark civil rights legislation to advance the LGBT agenda by federal fiat, and waters down legal standards for those falsely accused of sexual harassment.
