This is an audio podcast of our newest video project, The Dr J Show. Full video episode is available here.

(July 26, 2019) Dr J is once again Molly Smith's guest on Salem Radio's "From the Median." They're discussing how various American professional societies are promoting sexual deviance of all kinds…which will result in further destruction of the family. The American Psychological Association is prominently involved, which is mind-boggling given the effects on children.

Check out Dr. J's companion article, "Kids Don't Count," published at our website and The Stream.

(June 21, 2019) We've just started summer here in the northern hemisphere, and you know what that means: this year's Acton University is in full swing!

Her sessions this year highlight how various ideologies ingrained in our culture are products of the toxic sexual revolution and further its aim of consolidating power in the hands of elites. This is her second talk, entitled "Love and Economics: A Foundational Issue for a Free Society."

(January 25, 2018) Only the family can provide the sense of security and the identity that every person needs. We are finding out that civilization itself depends on family. Family breakdown is expensive--taxpayers step in and provide programs when the family fails.
