The Heritage Foundation recently updated its Election Integrity Scorecard, and Illinois did poorly: It ranked 42nd with a score of 38 out of 100. Tennessee and Arkansas topped the list, followed by Alabama at 83, Louisiana at 81, and Florida at 78. Hawaii finished last with a score of 22, while California scored 26.
Heritage says its September update gave additional weight to proof-of-citizenship measures and state bans on foreign funding of ballot measures.… Continue Reading
U.S. Representative Delia Ramirez (D-Chicago) hosted a news conference along with other left-wing elected officials and progressive advocacy organizations to announce the Reimagining Safety Act. According to her own press release, this federal legislation would:
Establish the Department of Community Safety
Dismantle DHS, preserving CISA, FEMA, TSA, and Customs functions
Abolish ICE and CBP
Reinvest funds in our communities
Limit government surveillance, rein in unlawful abuses of data, and curb militarized enforcement
Begin the process of establishing a separate civil immigration system
She estimated that at least $150 billion currently allocated to the U.S.… Continue Reading
A few months ago, on June 30, 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled 6–3 to allow states to protect women’s sports from confused men in West Virginia v. B.P.J. and Little v. Hecox. That ruling came a year after the Court upheld, by the same 6–3 margin, a Tennessee law barring the use of puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones for transgender teenagers.

Earlier this week, on September 16, 2026, U.S. Senator Josh Hawley (R-MO) unveiled the “Declaration for Life,” calling on lawmakers and candidates to support legislation restricting abortion, specifically a federal ban on the drug mifepristone.
The four-page document, drafted by over 30 pastors and signed by more than 100 Missouri pastors and 50,000 citizens, argues that state-level restrictions are insufficient because abortion pills can be mailed across state lines, effectively turning “every mailbox in America into an abortion clinic.”… Continue Reading
Illinois has a housing shortage. Which may sound odd since hundreds of thousands of people have left and continue to leave Illinois for other states. But it makes sense when you consider we have fewer carpenters, builders, electricians, etc. to build homes. Only in Illinois.
Anyway, Governor J.B. Pritzker has a solution. Keep in mind this is a governor whose economic policies have driven businesses out of the state and caused people to leave – often to neighboring states like Indiana and Iowa and Wisconsin, but of course Texas and Florida, too.… Continue Reading
A young Christian family is beaten and dragged into the dense Nigerian bush, their names added to a grim ledger that Western media consistently ignores. In Nigeria, Christian communities face relentless terror from groups like Boko Haram and aligned jihadist militants. Thousands of believers have been killed, churches burned, and pastors kidnapped. Yet the institutions that claim to lead the free world offer little more than diplomatic platitudes.
As Dr. Alex McFarland bluntly stated in a recent release:
“How can we be a Christian nation if we fail to protect our persecuted brothers and sisters in Christ?”
It is gratifying to see federal agencies finally working with resolve to secure our highways. By targeting widespread fraud in the commercial trucking industry—specifically illicit testing schemes and unqualified foreign drivers—the administration is taking long-overdue action to protect American lives.
A primary concern for many citizens is the lack of English proficiency among commercial operators. Language is not merely a formality; it is a safety necessity. Drivers must be able to converse with the public, read highway signs, and respond to official inquiries.
A growing body of voices is warning that the strangest political marriage in modern America—the coalition between the secular socialist Left and Islamist movements—is no longer a fringe theory. It is reshaping elections, campuses, and the Democratic Party itself.
Illinois Family Action recently hosted the “Save America Rallies,” featuring keynote speakers David M. Walker, former Comptroller General of the United States and head of the Government Accountability Office (GAO), and Joe Penland Sr., businessman, author, and philanthropist. Their nonpartisan, math-driven presentations offered practical blueprints for preserving Social Security, addressing the national debt, and restoring fiscal responsibility and accountability to the federal government.
