State Representative Hillary Cassel, a Florida legislator, announced that she was switching parties.
“As a proud Jewish woman, I have been increasingly troubled by the Democratic Party’s failure to unequivocally support Israel and its willingness to tolerate extreme progressive voices that justify or condone acts of terrorism,” she posted on Twitter. “I’m constantly troubled by the inability of the current Democratic Party to relate to everyday Floridians.”
“For eight years, I was the only Republican Jew in the Florida Legislature.… Continue Reading

On a recent X post, U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT) lamented the level of homelessness in the U.S. Sanders declared,
This is the richest country on earth. 770,000 Americans should not be homeless, and 20 million more should not be spending over half their incomes on rent or a mortgage. We need to invest in affordable housing, not Trump’s massive tax breaks for billionaires.
Sanders post was in response to an AP post that revealed that “the U.S.… Continue Reading

Joe Biden may still hold the office of President of the United States, but the media are treating him like he’s anything but a newsmaker. For much of Biden’s presidency, reporters were much more energized to cover the apparent menace of Donald Trump than agitate the officials that were always hiding Biden. Now he seems invisible.
On Dec. 15, the president spoke to a Democratic National Committee holiday party. Any reporter would expect a pep talk, with all the echoes of “we’ll get them next time.”… Continue Reading

The corporate media will not tell you this, but as a resident of Illinois, you need to know that during the 103rd General Assembly (2023-2024), more than 9,800 bills were filed during this legislative session. Thus far, Governor JB Pritzker has signed 1,057 of these bills into law. And since the session isn’t officially through until January 8, 2025, that number may yet grow.
On New Year’s Day, 293 of those laws will take effect.… Continue Reading

If you are not familiar with the annual “Festivus Report,” by U.S. Senator, Dr. Rand Paul (R-KY), and are concerned with out-of-control government spending, you will want to read this short summary.

Merry Christmas! May the peace and love of “the baby born in Bethlehem” be in your heart this season and throughout the year. It is an amazing gift to be able to freely celebrate our faith and to proclaim the birth of our Savior who came to give life and give it abundantly (John 10:10).
Our Christian faith is centered on the belief that our perfectly holy, omnipotent God had a virgin give birth to His only Son who became a carpenter, a healer and a teacher.… Continue Reading

In 1990, the rock band Poison released one of its signature songs, “Something to Believe In.” The song was a call for something positive, something of substance.
In desperation and sorrow, the band called out for something to believe in. Throughout America and beyond, it became an anthem sung by hundreds of thousands of fans who were frustrated with reality as they saw it. The song resonated with many in the early 1990s as it spoke of the tangible emptiness of a life devoid of purpose.… Continue Reading

Don’t call PolitiFact an “independent fact-checker.” When they assemble to select their “Lie of the Year,” they have singled out Donald Trump in 2015, 2016, 2017, 2019, 2020 and 2021. No Democrat has been tagged with this dishonor since Trump arrived on the scene.
It was Trump again this year, as PolitiFact tweeted: “A lie marked a town and its residents in the name of campaign rage. It was absurd. It was consequential.… Continue Reading

Former competitive swimmer turned political activist Riley Gaines has gained significant public attention for her outspoken advocacy for common sense in women’s sports. Specifically, she became an activist for preserving women’s sports for biological females only. She argues that allowing biological males to compete in women’s sports can lead to unfair advantages due to physical differences that persist even after hormone therapy.
But even more troubling, and a focal point of her concerns, is the issue of privacy and safety.… Continue Reading

In the Harry Potter series, the villain Lord Voldemort is known as “He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named.” There’s a similar sentiment whenever someone expresses a heterodox opinion on vaccines.
The long knives are already out for Health and Human Services secretary nominee Robert F. Kennedy Jr. While there are valid concerns among pro-life activists, the most prominent objection is Kennedy’s vaccine skepticism.
U.S. Senator Chris Murphy (D-CT) labeled Kennedy a “denier of science.” Kennedy has pushed “the scientifically discredited belief that childhood vaccines cause autism,” The New York Times wrote.… Continue Reading
