Why Can’t States Use Public Health to Stop The Border Invasion?

Written by Daniel Horowitz

Four years ago this month, we learned that a state has practically unlimited power to make decisions about our lives, liberties, and property in the name of public health. During the COVID-19 crisis, courts confirmed that states can enforce regulations like controlling our breathing, requiring vaccinations, closing essential services, eliminating jobs, banning religious gatherings, and even imposing travel restrictions between states. If a state can do all this and even block residents from other states, then why can’t it also prevent people from entering from places where diseases are rampant, such as Haiti and Western Africa?… Continue Reading

Abortion Is a Winning Issue for Republicans

Written by Star Parker

The visit by Vice President Kamala Harris to a Planned Parenthood abortion clinic in St. Paul, the first ever visit by a president or vice president to an abortion clinic, is getting the considerable attention it deserves.

When America’s vice president visits and pays homage to the nation’s largest abortion provider, it’s news. And what she said there is also news.

Harris predictably distorted truth and reality, pitching the boilerplate left-wing headline calling the destruction of our unborn health care.… Continue Reading

DEI is Self-Centered and Childish

Written by Dr. Everett Piper

There is a concerted effort to divide our country, and the people responsible know that if they can get us to focus on ourselves, our grievances and our victimhood, the very fabric of our nation can be torn apart thread by thread. As Solomon said, “A cord of three strands is not easily broken,” but a cord of one is defenseless. In other words, divide and conquer.

The transparent “us against them” agenda of the diversity, equity and inclusion movement is but one example.… Continue Reading

Written by David E. Smith

We strongly encourage you to vote in the March 19th primary election. Prior to going to the polls, make sure that you know where your candidates stand on the sanctity of human life, transgender confusion, parental rights, and big government.

Illinois Family Action’s board members are pleased to endorse the following candidates for office in the 2024 primary election. Many of these endorsements reflect differences between candidates who hold pro-life and pro-family positions and those who do not.… Continue Reading

What Too Many Republicans Get Wrong About The U.S. Constitution

Written by Daniel Horowitz

Every Republican seems to agree that our country has been taken over by a post-constitutional junta that usurps power to achieve its insidious objectives rather than follows the rule of law. But when it comes to redressing those usurpations with the only tool James Madison gave us — federalism — our elected officials too often shirk their responsibilities. Worse, they declare that the egregious usurpations are, in fact, the law of the land.… Continue Reading

American Citizens Are Revolting Against Leftist Policies

Written by Robert Knight

If you live in a northern climate, you can’t help noticing that the groundhog was right; spring is coming early.

Warm winds are turning the land green again in many places. Along with those warm winds, we also see welcome breezes blowing wisdom through unlikely places.

Not in Washington, alas. President Biden, on Thursday night in his State of the Union address, emitted enough sulfur and brimstone to heat up the planet by several degrees.… Continue Reading

The LIABLE Act Would End Pfizer’s and Moderna’s Free Pass

Written by Daniel Horowitz

Should a product that is completely funded, marketed, monopolized, and then mandated by government be less liable than Toyota is for its airbags?

Anyone with a modicum of common sense would understand that the more a product is favored with regulatory shortcuts and other benefits only government can provide, the more the product’s makers should be on the hook for liability if it causes damage. The fact is that the federal government required millions of people — including members of the armed services — to get the jab.… Continue Reading

Judicial Watch Sues Illinois to Force Clean Up of Voting Rolls

Judicial Watch announced [on Wednesday] that it filed a federal lawsuit against the Illinois State Board of Elections and its Executive Director, Bernadette Matthews, over their failure to clean Illinois’ voter rolls and to produce election-related records as required by federal law, the National Voter Registration Act of 1993 (NVRA) (Judicial Watch Inc. et al. v. Illinois State Board of Elections et al.(No. 1:24-cv-01867)). The lawsuit requests the court to require Illinois to “develop and implement a general program that makes a reasonable effort to remove the registrations of ineligible registrants from the voter rolls.”… Continue Reading

A Media Obsessed With Screaming “Christian Nationalism” is a Far Greater Than Any Threat Posed by Christian Nationalism

Written by Peter Heck

The over-politicization of our culture has ruined so much. Among plenty of other things, our language has been one of the greatest casualties of our 24-hour “news” culture, our obsession over ideological purity and political scandal. Words don’t mean what they used to mean anymore.

People who aren’t bigots are called bigots because it’s easier to call names than make arguments.

Things that aren’t racism are deemed racist because shaming is easier than logically engaging.… Continue Reading

March Madness And Its Antidote

Written by Robert Knight

It’s March, and you know what that means — lots of change and celebration in the air.

Daylight saving time begins March 10. St. Patrick’s Day is March 17. On that day, everyone’s Irish — even the English among us. The spring equinox is March 20. And there’s March madness.

I’m not talking about watching 68 colleges battle it out for the NCAA basketball titles. Or even the advent of baseball spring training, with opening day (March 28) only weeks away.… Continue Reading
