Americans have a responsibility to be civically engaged in their communities and when it comes to solving social challenges, faith-based communities have the best track record, according to Stacy Blakeley, the CEO of The Policy Circle.  During a study examining the foster care and refugee crises today, The Policy Circle, a nonprofit dedicated to encouraging civic engagement, discovered that “faith-based groups [be they Christian, Jewish, or other] had a remarkable ability to solve for the social challenges in our communities,” Blakeley tells “The Daily Signal Podcast.”  This begs the question, according to Blakeley, why are faith communities “so much more effective, for instance, than a government program?” That question led The Policy Circle to launch the Faith and Civic Life Initiative to explore the role religious organizations can, and should, play in addressing some of America’s greatest challenges.  The new initiatives kicks off Monday with an event at the Museum of the Bible in Washington, D.C., with Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin.  Blakele joins “The Daily Signal Podcast” to share the unique mission and history of The Policy Circle and how Americans across the country can take part in the Faith and Civic Life Initiative.

Any time a beloved piece of fiction gets serialized or modernized for contemporary airwaves, fans really just ask for one thing. And that's some adherence or respect for the source material. Seriously. Good acting, solid production values and coherent directing are almost secondary to simply respecting the source material. Shows...

Few sci-fi films quite captured the zeitgeist like seminal 1987 film "RoboCop." (Few films have been as prescient either, given the state of Detroit in both the movie and in real life.) The film, which is about a fatally injured police officer given a second lease on life thanks to...
