Eyes on the White House? JB Stumps in NH

Written by David E. Smith

Lost in all of the news last week, you may have missed the reports about JB Pritzker’s appearance at a convention of New Hampshire Democrats on Saturday, June 18, 2022. Making the most of the opportunity to float his POTUS balloon, he endorsed New Hampshire U.S. Senator Maggie Hassan and governor candidate Tom Sherman, both of whom are facing tough fights this fall.

Pritzker was well-received by east coast Democrats, even getting a standing ovation after telling a story bashing Trump.… Continue Reading

DHS Released Nearly 100K Illegal Aliens in Just One Month: Tip of The Invasion Iceberg

Written by Daniel Horowitz

In one respect, when DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas told U.S. Rep. Chip Roy at a recent U.S. House Judiciary Committee hearing that the DHS has operational control over the border, he wasn’t lying. His department is now releasing close to 100,000 illegal aliens per month into the interior of the country. Thus, this is actually a controlled and purposeful mass migration, although there are many more gotaways that funnel through our border during the chaos.… Continue Reading

Attacking America

Written by Gary Bauer

As the country struggles with record gas prices, it’s worth reviewing the left’s rhetoric and actions toward America’s energy industry.

Power plants, refineries and other major infrastructure sites have always been prime targets of our enemies. When hackers from Iran, Russia or communist China launch cyberattacks, our energy infrastructure is frequently at the top of their list.

But now the entire government of the United States is attacking our energy industry in the courts and through its vast regulatory powers. … Continue Reading

Time Magazine Champions ‘Gender-Expansive’ Teens

Written by Tim Graham

When someone wants to complain about how our most respected news outlets once attempted to look “objective” but are now dwelling on performative activism, see Time magazine.

Time magazine is a shadow of its former self. Every issue is a “double issue,” since no one needs a “weekly news magazine” at this late date. The cover of the June 20/27 issue looks like graffiti, or an overworked chalkboard. It lists the cities of putative mass shootings, and then demands in red capital letters, “When Are We Going to Do Something?… Continue Reading

Most Open Borders POTUS Has Worse Approval Among Hispanics Than Whites

Written by Daniel Horowitz

It was the blood-letting ritual equivalent of electoral politics. After each election, every GOP consultant for two generations lectured in hushed tones about the need to support some form of amnesty for illegal aliens in order to attract the Hispanic vote. We are suffering from an invasion to this day because of this maniacally false read of the American electorate, which induced Republicans to refrain from shutting down illegal immigration when they were in power.… Continue Reading

Looking for Campaign Volunteers

Written by David E. Smith

The important issues at stake are in the headlines every day. The attacks against the right to life, religious liberty, rights of conscience and biological reality are increasing; putting even common sense at risk. Most government schools are teaching inappropriate “comprehensive” sex-education to kindergarteners, and in many high schools are now allowing confused biological boys to use the girl’s washrooms, locker rooms and showers.

It’s not just the gubernatorial election that is of critical importance, but every office “down ballot” as well.… Continue Reading

Jennifer Korte Earns IFA’s Endorsement!

Written by IFA Staff

We were very impressed with Jennifer Korte’s energy, conservative values, and dedication to the issues of the sanctity of life and parental rights. She is running for Illinois State Representative in District 112, and we hope she will beat the incumbent and flip that district red. Her experiences as a mother, an advocate for sexual assault victims, a volunteer at a local pregnancy resource center and at her children’s school will be invaluable as she considers legislative proposals in Springfield.
