In this episode of Verdict with Ted Cruz, U.S. Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) discusses the progress of the SAVE America Act (S.128), now before the U.S. Senate. The bill would require proof of citizenship to register to vote in federal elections and a photo ID to cast a ballot. Senator Cruz points to strong public support for these commonsense protections, while also explaining the political obstacles in the Senate and urging Republicans to stand united in forcing a talking filibuster against Democratic opposition.… Continue Reading

The Declaration of Independence emphatically affirms that all human beings are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, the first of which is the right to life.
The Bill of Rights reinforces this principle. The Fifth Amendment states that no person shall “be deprived of life, liberty, or property without due process of law” — explicitly protecting the right to life within the legal framework of the United States.
The Fourteenth Amendment extends this protection further, declaring that no state shall “deprive any person of life, liberty, or property without due process of law.”… Continue Reading

For decades, Illinois Family Institute and many other Christian and conservative voices have sounded the alarm about the ongoing assault on children and the family.
We have warned our readers — from both a biblical and real-world perspective — that divorce, abortion, the rainbow lifestyle, and the U.S. Supreme Court’s ruling in Obergefell v. Hodges — which legalized so-called same-sex “marriage” — have all contributed to serious harm to children, our society, and the nation as a whole.… Continue Reading

Ever wonder why the U.S. exists as a free nation today? Spoiler: France played the hero in our Revolutionary War. Without their weapons, cash, troops, and that epic naval win at Yorktown, the British likely would’ve steamrolled us. It wasn’t just charity—it was a smart strategy to weaken a rival, and it worked, birthing a democracy that changed the world.
Now, in 2026, with U.S.-Israeli strikes having taken out Ali Khamenei and key regime targets, crippling Iran’s nuclear ambitions and military reach—could America be stepping up as ‘France’ for the Iranian people?

James Talarico is 36 years old. He now serves in the Texas House of Representatives. Last week, he defeated U.S. Representative Jasmine Crockett in the Democratic primary for a seat in the U.S. Senate.
If Mr. Talarico wins in the November general election, here is a prediction you can take to the bank: In 2028, this freshly minted senator will be a featured speaker at the Democratic National Convention, and just a handful of months thereafter, he will announce his candidacy for the presidency of the United States.… Continue Reading

Texas State Representative James Talarico has emerged as an apostate “Christian” whose progressive ideology runs contrary to two thousand years of orthodox Christian teaching. Unsuprisingly, he has become something of a media darling on the Left, promoted as a thoughtful Christian voice who can reconcile progressive politics through a reinterpretation of Scripture.
Talarico, who recently won the Texas Senate Democratic nomination, describes himself as a “secularist seminarian.” He has gained attention for using biblical language and religious imagery to defend a host of progressive political causes, including abortion and transgender ideology.… Continue Reading

Congress Chooses Secrecy Over Transparency
On March 4, 2026, the U.S. House of Representatives voted 357–65 to block a resolution that would have forced the public release of sexual misconduct and harassment reports involving members of Congress. The proposal, introduced by U.S. Representative Nancy Mace (R-SC), was instead referred back to the U.S. House Ethics Committee, effectively preventing the disclosures from becoming public.
Officials of the bipartisan Committee on Ethics, including U.S.… Continue Reading

Casey Means‘ nomination to serve as U.S. Surgeon General is moving forward again.
That alone might not raise alarms. Presidents nominate allies all the time and political skirmishes over health policy are nothing new. But this nomination is different – not because of partisan alignment, dietary views, or vaccine debates. Because of spiritual foundations.
When I first began examining her public statements, I honestly assumed critics were exaggerating. They weren’t.
In her own newsletters and interviews, Means describes praying to photographs of her ancestors and asking them for support.… Continue Reading

Science fiction author Philip K. Dick once said, “The basic tool for the manipulation of reality is the manipulation of words. If you can control the meaning of words, you can control the people who must use them.”
Of all the strategies presently used by Democrats and their puppets in the establishment media, the bastardization of words is perhaps the most pernicious.
Take, for example, the words green and gay, change and choice, male and female, moral and immoral, justice and injustice, compassion, care and tolerance.… Continue Reading
