Illinois lawmakers are actively shaping the state’s Fiscal Year 2026 budget as the May 31st legislative deadline approaches. Governor JB Pritzker has proposed a budget of $55.45 billion – an increase of $2.35 billion over last year, but final numbers are still under negotiation.
On May 13, 2025, Republican members of the Illinois House of Representatives held a press conference, urging substantial budget reductions. They claimed over $1 billion in wasteful spending, fraud, and abuse could be eliminated to save citizens from new or increased tax proposals.… Continue Reading

Apparently Katie Couric, the left-wing activist and former Today Show host still has an online program where she conducts interviews and produces progressive news content. Who knew?
Demonstrating her illustrious flare for originality and creativity, the topic of Couric’s most recent episode was how awful Donald Trump is for America. Drawing from a deep well of self-proclaimed conservative Republicans who decided the best way to conserve conservatism and fight for conservative values was to raise money for Democrats and help them gain power, Couric brought on former U.S.… Continue Reading

You may have heard by now that Loudoun County, Virginia, school officials are at it again.
In May 2021, they covered up a girl’s rape in a high school restroom by a boy wearing a skirt and sent him to another high school, where he assaulted another girl.
The first girl’s dad was thrown to the floor, handcuffed and arrested when he refused to shut up about it at a school board meeting.… Continue Reading

Last week, the U.S. Supreme Court heard the case of St. Isidore v. Drummond, whereby Oklahoma’s attorney general, Gentner Drummond, is suing to deny Oklahoma parents the right to choose to send their children to a board-approved charter school with a 100% graduation rate and 98% of its students matriculating to college.
In a state where traditional public schools are ranked among some of the worst in the nation, why would Mr. … Continue Reading

I hate writing about this.
In what has to be one of the most gruesome, heartbreaking stories I’ve read in years, 18-year-old Chloe Coplen-Anderson has been sentenced to somewhere between 35-60 years in prison for the heinous crime she perpetrated against her newborn son.
When she was just 16, Coplen-Anderson secretly gave birth to her son in her bedroom after having hid the pregnancy from her parents. She then quietly retrieved a knife from the family’s kitchen, returned to her bedroom, and slit her son’s throat.… Continue Reading

The trans agenda has proved a tremendous millstone around the neck of the Democrat Party. Deservedly so! This evil ideology is one of the biggest reasons Democrats find themselves sinking in the political sea that is the American electorate. Currently, the Democrats are historically unpopular. As the New York Post put it [recently], “Democrats have become so unpopular that more Americans believe that aliens are among us than agree with the Democratic Party.”… Continue Reading

Pritzker publicly calls for “mass protests, mobilization, and disruption”
After reading and listening to almost a week’s worth of commentary about Gov. JB Pritzker’s campaign speech to New Hampshire Democrats on Sunday, April 27, 2025, and despite a wise recommendation to ignore him, some problems need to be tackled. His militant comments and calls for mass protests against Republicans in general — and the Trump administration specifically — stirred significant controversy on both sides of the political spectrum.

The U.S. Supreme Court heard last week from attorneys representing the state of Maryland arguing in favor of teaching prekindergarten children as young as 3 the virtues of, in the words of Justice Neil M. Gorsuch, “leather, bondage, sex work and drag queens.” If this story doesn’t highlight the fact that Democrats have completely lost their minds and sold their souls to their weird sexual fetishes, what does?
For decades, Democrats have been cheerleaders for nearly every aberrant copulative act imaginable, and the negative consequences of their sexual peccadillos are almost too numerous to count.… Continue Reading

This week, the White House celebrates the first 100 days of Donald Trump‘s second term as POTUS by focusing on the progress that has been made securing the border. In fact, the lawn outside the White House was lined with posters of 100 of the “worst illegal immigrant criminals” arrested under the new administration, including rapists, murderers, and criminals who attacked children.
At the Monday morning press briefing, Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt was joined by Border Czar Tom Homan to report on the significant progress that has been made during this time period.… Continue Reading

For the past couple of weeks, aside from bashing President Trump over tariffs, the media have been fixated on an illegal immigrant deported to El Salvador.
Kilmar Abrego Garcia, who had been living in Maryland, is reputedly a member of the MS-13 gang, a U.S. government-designated foreign terrorist organization. He was summarily shipped off to his home country. Cue the outrage.
The Democratic Party and the media, in lockstep, have made this the case of the century.… Continue Reading
