About Me:
Rabbi Pinchas Taylor is is the Director of the American Faith Coalition. He is an American rabbi, a best-selling author and lecturer, and has spoken across the globe in a wide variety of venues. His books Pillars of Faith and A Jewish Guide to the Mysterious are great works of insight and scholarship into the spiritual realm.

Rabbi Taylor has been called the “Celebrity Life Coach” for his work with actors, athletes, and other public figures and founded “The Ark,” a successful faith-based study and coaching program for people of all backgrounds. Rabbi Taylor is also formerly a member of the Governor of Florida’s Faith advisory board, and often a contributor on national news outlets.

Columbia University had “Oct. 7 blush sauce” on the dining hall menu. A Haverford professor was arrested for cyberstalking a Jewish colleague.

The Left continues to shield these bad actors behind victimhood. Why?

“You get these expensive policies. Well, that's what DEI is. It's basically saying, ‘I got a DEI policy, and that means that if I want to make up a false identity and attack this person, I'm not a part of the oppressor class. I'm the oppressed class, so I get an exemption.’”

A college professor allegedly poses as a MAGA supporter to threaten and harass a Jewish colleague, raising alarming questions about rising antisemitism on America's elite college campuses.

Victor Davis Hanson and Jack Fowler examine these disturbing allegations on today’s edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words,” arguing that antisemitism is becoming increasingly tolerated within progressive institutions.

They connect the controversy to broader concerns about DEI policies, the political Left’s response to the October 7 Hamas attacks, and growing hostility toward Israel. Hanson criticizes Hamas and its role in the destruction of Gaza, while warning about the dangerous normalization of antisemitic rhetoric in American politics.

They examine allegations surrounding Rep. Ilhan Omar, and accusations of political double standards involving federal investigations. They dive into the ongoing protests in France which seemed to have started over a lack of air conditioning in schools, however, Victor argues these protests are often encouraged by left-wing donors and political organizations, rather than being entirely spontaneous.

The episode also turns to Cornell University’s controversial sexual advice amid sexual assault allegations, and the disturbing sexual-health materials being passed out by the university.

TUPAC TRIAL LIVE: Watch Day 5 of the trial of Duane “Keefe D” Davis, who is accused of orchestrating the 1996 drive-by shooting of Tupac Shakur, live from Las Vegas court. Davis is charged with murder with the use of a deadly weapon with intent to promote, further or assist a criminal gang.

The trial is expected to last about a month. Prosecutors accuse Davis of ordering the fatal shooting as retaliation for a brawl that broke out on a casino floor shortly before Shakur was killed. Authorities have also pointed to comments Davis made in several media interviews as evidence of his alleged involvement in the killing.

Among the 200 potential witnesses in the case are some notable names, including:
Marion "Suge" Knight - Former Death Row Records CEO who was in the car when Shakur was shot
Former Las Vegas Mayor Oscar Goodman
Nevada Governor Joe Lombardo, who served in the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department at the time of the murder
Former LAPD Detective Greg Kading, who claims Davis confessed to his involvement during a 2009 interview with law enforcement
Yusef Jah, the ghostwriter for Davis in his memoir
Several of Shakur’s family members

Caleb Flynn, a former pastor and previous contestant on American Idol is on trial for the murder of his wife Ashley Flynn, who was found fatally shot in February after police received a report of a burglary and shooting at a home in Tipp City, Ohio.

Caleb Flynn's ex-mistress, identified as Alleigha Botner was called to testify. Prosecutors also played a song reportedly written for Botner with the help of artificial intelligence (AI).

A former Colorado State University student has filed a civil lawsuit against the Phi Delta Theta fraternity and a former member, accusing the organization of negligence following an alleged October 2024 sexual assault at an off-campus house. The lawsuit claims that multiple fraternity members orchestrated the incident by drugging the woman at a party before she was taken to the chapter house and raped. While local law enforcement did not request criminal charges, university officials confirmed that a Title IX investigation found the accused student responsible for violating school policy, resulting in his one-year suspension.
