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

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

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

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

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.

As we enter the last couple weeks of June, officially designated as “Pride Month” on our national calendar, I have a couple of questions.
The most basic of which is this: Is pride a good thing? Is it a virtue, and is it wise for an entire culture to celebrate something traditionally considered the quintessential vice and one of the seven deadly sins?
Now in answering this, dare I suggest we consider the lessons of history?… Continue Reading

We have been a fan of Liandro “Li” Arellano for some time now. We supported him 10 years ago in a razor-thin primary loss when he ran for state representative against the Republican establishment pick. We watched this small businessman bounce back in just a couple years as he ran for and became the Mayor of Dixon, Illinois. He has worked hard to try and turn around his home town which has been rocked by a scandal in which a City of Dixon Comptroller stole more than $50 million from the city to fuel her gambling addictions and lavish lifestyle.… Continue Reading

We are facing a crucial primary election on June 28–an election unlike any in recent memory. To help ensure our path leads to greater protection of our freedoms, heed the words of Bobby Piton, Illinois candidate for United States Senate:
“This the most important vote in Illinois in our lifetime. Vote David Shestokas for Illinois Attorney General.”
Why does Bobby Piton say this? Because it’s true. The importance of the office of attorney general (AG) is clear.… Continue Reading

One thing I’ve learned by living in the reality of rural America as opposed to the concrete and neon of Washington or New York City is that freedom can be deceiving. Or maybe better said, freedom is often the opposite of what it appears to be.
For example, when I drive through the ranches of Kansas and see cattle roaming freely in the fields, they are always surrounded by a fence.… Continue Reading
