U.S. Senator Ron Johnson (R-WI) is alleging that key agencies intentionally concealed critical information regarding the origins of the virus and the safety risks associated with the COVID-19 injections, still commonly labeled “vaccines,” along with the growing evidence regarding the side effects and lack of effectiveness.
During a short interview on Fox News Channel on May 24, 2026, Senator Johnson expressed his frustration and dismay about a major government cover-up, claiming it is “the most egregious government scandal in my lifetime.”… Continue Reading

The U.S. House of Representatives took an important step this week, when it passed H.R. 2616, the Stopping Indoctrination and Protecting Kids Act, by a vote of 217-198. The legislation seeks to safeguard parental rights by ensuring that schools cannot hide major decisions regarding a child’s gender identity from moms and dads. This legisation would also require schools to notify parents if school staff encourage or facilitate a child’s “social transition” at school.… Continue Reading

Last week, we reported on comments made by State Senator Steve McClure (R-Effingham) in which he raised serious concerns after discovering that the Illinois Department of Human Services (IDHS) had sent voter registration materials to noncitizens applying for state assistance. That revelation alone sparked widespread concern and raised an obvious question: Why would a state agency be placing voter registration materials into the hands of individuals who are not legally eligible to vote?… Continue Reading

As the Illinois General Assembly enters the final days of its regular session, several troubling bills have advanced, while another still awaits a vote in the Illinois Senate. Taken together, they reflect a clear trend: expanding government power, eroding parental rights, and advancing radical left-wing ideological policies.
Thomas Hampson wrote about this recently in an article for IFI titled:
The State is Not a Parent.Rather than strengthening families and reinforcing accountability, these proposals continue to sideline parents and replace parental authority with government control.… Continue Reading

Illinois State Senator Steve McClure (R-Effingham) continues to sound the alarm over election integrity as it pertains to the Illinois Department of Human Services (IDHS) and the distribution of voter registration materials to illegal immigrants applying for state benefits.
In a January 7, 2025 press release, McClure revealed that IDHS had been sending packets to noncitizens that included “pre-filled” voter registration applications already addressed to county clerk offices. He warned that such practices create confusion and could open the door to unlawful voter registration.… Continue Reading

Americans are feeling the squeeze. Housing costs, groceries, insurance, utilities, gasoline, and property taxes continue to rise while many families are scrambling to figure out how to pay all the bills. Young adults are delaying marriage, homeownership, and starting families because the American Dream feels increasingly out of reach.
A new report from The Heartland Institute argues that the affordability crisis devastating many American families is not primarily the result of “greedy corporations” or “market failure,” but rather years of destructive government policies, inflationary spending, overregulation, and economic mismanagement.… Continue Reading

A new survey from Arizona Christian University and researcher Dr. George Barna reveals a troubling contradiction within Generation Z: while more young people are identifying as Christians, very few actually hold a biblical worldview.
According to the study, Gen Z is showing increased interest in matters of faith. More young adults claim to be Christians, report a deeper commitment to practicing their beliefs, and say they are reading the Bible regularly.… Continue Reading
