<p dir="auto">Ever wonder why the U.S. exists as a free nation today? Spoiler: France played the hero in our Revolutionary War. Without their weapons, cash, troops, and that epic naval win at Yorktown, the British likely would’ve steamrolled us. It wasn’t just charity—it was a smart strategy to weaken a rival, and it worked, birthing a democracy that changed the world.</p>
<p dir="auto">Now, in 2026, with U.S.-Israeli strikes having taken out <strong>Ali Khamenei</strong> and key regime targets, crippling Iran’s nuclear ambitions and military reach—could America be stepping up as ‘France’ for the Iranian people?</p></div>&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2026/03/the-france-strategy-could-it-work-for-iran/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a>]]></description>

<p>Christian conservatives across the nation clearly see what the biased media refuses to report: leftists are intentionally escalating tensions in Minnesota, with some openly advocating violence, and even armed confrontation, against federal agents. Antifa thugs have gone so far as to call for a “guerrilla war.”</p>

<p>Illinois billionaire Governor <strong>JB Pritzker</strong> appeared on Fox News’ <em data-start="166" data-end="182">Special Report</em> with <strong>Bret Baier</strong> on Thursday, where he blasted the Trump administration’s immigration enforcement in Chicago while downplaying the city’s spiraling crime problem. The two-term Democratic governor also dodged questions about his presidential ambitions, took shots at Trump’s tariff policies, and doubled down on his paranoid claim that U.S. troops could be used to “steal” the next election.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2025/10/a-not-so-special-report-with-jb-pritzker/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>Last weekend, Leftists gathered in cities across the country for coordinated “<a href="https://www.nokings.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">No Kings</a>” rallies — events ostensibly organized to complain, scream and whimper that <strong>Donald J. Trump</strong> is acting like a monarch. In reality, these unsubstantiated attacks on Trump’s leadership mask a much deeper and more troubling agenda. One in which central government would expand dramatically.</p>
<p>A closer look at the sponsors and partners behind the marches reveals a powerful coalition of radical and socialist groups working to reshape America’s political foundation.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2025/10/the-left-wing-coalition-behind-the-no-kings-protests/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p data-start="306" data-end="612">The growing political violence in the U.S. is a serious concern that threatens both the stability of our republic and the safety of its citizens. What we’re witnessing today is not merely partisan animosity, but open hostility — a clear sign of our culture’s moral and spiritual decline, which undermines the very foundation of a civilized society.</p>
<p data-start="306" data-end="612">Just look at the <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/oct/17/ice-chicago-protesters-arrests-broadview-facility" target="_blank" rel="noopener">violent mobs</a> that recently targeted ICE offices and federal agents — torching vehicles, smashing windows, and assaulting officers who enforce our nation’s immigration laws.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2025/10/when-love-grows-cold-the-rise-of-political-violence/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[<p><em>Written by Robert Knight</em></p>
<p>President <strong>Donald Trump</strong> is in a public wrestling match with Chief Justice <strong>John Roberts</strong> and some of the federal judiciary.</p>
<p>Along with congressional lawmakers, Mr. Trump has called for impeaching several U.S. district judges who have issued orders blocking his administration from carrying out key policies.</p>
<p>Mr. Roberts says this imperils the independence of the judiciary, without which abuses of power could become routine.</p>
<p>Mr. Trump says that this is nonsense, that these judges have gone well beyond their authority to hear cases and are trying to dictate national policy.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2025/03/unelected-judges-trying-to-diminish-trumps-executive-weight/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>Imagine working at a large company like Exxon Mobil and being told that an audit was underway. Managers would be busy justifying spending and personnel and how they were enabling the company to prosper.</p>
<p>If the auditor found that someone had deliberately hidden or misclassified expenditures for personal gain or ideological reasons, company lawyers would not call it merely “waste” or “mismanagement.”</p>
<p>They would call it “theft” or perhaps “embezzlement,” and they would call the authorities.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2025/02/musks-money-sleuths-making-democrats-sweat/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>For the past two weeks, adulation over Episcopal Bishop <strong>Mariann Budde</strong>’s scolding of President <strong>Donald Trump</strong> and Vice President <strong>JD Vance</strong> has become all the rage for liberal church leaders across the United States and, indeed, around the world.</p>
<p>Here’s just a sampling of what the “Church of Never Trump” has had to say.</p>
<p>The Free Methodist Church Board of Bishops issued an emergency statement echoing the words of Bishop Budde and expressing “deep concern for the very real pain” that members of their community are experiencing.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2025/02/questions-for-bishop-budde-and-the-church-of-never-trump/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>President-elect <strong>Donald J. Trump</strong> and Vice President-elect <strong>J.D. Vance</strong> will take over [today], relieving the nation of the Biden administration&#8217;s train wreck.</p>
<p>Even many liberals are breathing a sigh of relief. President Biden and his fellow Democrats have done incredible damage to their party. They have turned it into a clown car full of Marxists, sexual radicals and outright lunatics who are good only at ruining entire cities and states. For reference, see San Francisco’s homeless camps, the Los Angeles fires and the Golden State of California under the rule of Gov.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2025/01/trumps-return-signals-end-to-biden-regimes-train-wreck/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>As the presidency of <strong>Joseph Robinette Biden</strong> mercifully comes to an end, Americans are being forced to endure the final death throes of a cripplingly lost four years. Four years that saw promises of unification and healing turn into petty political vendettas and demonizing divisiveness.</p>
<p>So perhaps no one should be surprised by the midnight acts of adulation that the addled mind of President Biden is now bestowing upon some of the more contemptible figures and polarizing malefactors in our politically fatigued country.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2025/01/corrupt-presidential-medals-and-our-culture/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>MSNBC claims it was “unaware” that Vice President Kamala Harris’ presidential campaign had donated $500,000 to Al Sharpton’s activist organization just weeks before Sharpton interviewed Harris on the network.</p>
<p>MSNBC isn’t saying what it plans to do about this supposedly shocking revelation, but one employee claims it is raising eyebrows among his co-workers, who consider it a “bridge too far” even for notoriously lax MSNBC.</p>

<p>Motherhood is the foundation of all civilization. A movement determined to dismantle society would inevitably target women’s femininity to disrupt the natural male-female dynamic, leaving behind an androgynous, gender-blurring culture that struggles to reproduce itself. In other words, the culture we largely see today. This explains why the far left is so fixated on advancing the “women in combat” agenda and why Trump’s nomination of P<strong>ete Hegseth</strong> as secretary of defense has left leftists furious and discombobulated.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2024/11/the-left-cant-handle-hegseths-combat-stance/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>Want to hear something that may be music to your ears, especially if you were delighted by the results of the Nov. 5 election?</p>
<p>“Anxious gloom grips much of the District.”</p>
<p>That was the take of <em>Washington Post</em> staff writer <strong>Kyle Swenson</strong> in a feature article last Wednesday about a place called Kraken. It’s a “rage room,” a business where customers pay $29.99 to smash things with crowbars, wrenches and baseball bats for 15 minutes of “stress relief.”&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2024/11/second-trump-administration-will-set-things-right/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>An estimated 2.2 million civilian federal workers serve at the pleasure of the president, despite only 4,000 being designated as political appointees. Donald Trump’s first priority as he prepares to retake office must be to establish that he can fire <em>any of them</em>. Whether they hold political appointments, U.S. Senate-confirmed positions, or civil service roles, all federal employees are subject to the president’s authority to terminate their employment. This includes workers in any department or so-called “independent” agency.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2024/11/trump-must-take-action-against-untouchable-bureaucrats/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

People such as <strong>David French</strong> of <em>The New York</em> <em>Times</em>, <strong>Russell Moore</strong> of <em>Christianity Today</em> and even lesser-known second stringers such as <strong>Howard Snyder</strong>, a former professor at Asbury Theological Seminary, don’t even try hiding their disdain for your intelligence.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2024/10/evangelicals-for-harris-think-youre-stupid/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>Under a Harris-Walz administration, we can expect big government mandates that will promote taxpayer funding of unrestricted abortion on-demand, transgenderism (<a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/harris-once-boasted-behind-scenes-work-get-every-trans-inmate-access-gender-surgeries" target="_blank" rel="noopener">even for inmates</a>), housing, food and healthcare for illegal immigrants, and free college tuition and student loans wiped clean.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2024/09/election-2024-president-of-the-united-states-of-america/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>Many people believe that the vote in November will be the most important Election Day in our lifetimes. I concur. The stakes are off the charts in this one.</p>
<p>Despite Democratic nominee Kamala Harris’ “New Way Forward” slogan, the incumbent vice president’s elevation to the Oval Office would guarantee a continuing spiral toward collectivism, American decline, economic stagnation, attacks on religious liberty and free speech, the Second Amendment, and a future one-party election system fueled by millions of illegal immigrants.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2024/09/election-2024-stakes-higher-than-ever-as-harris-walz-talk-no-limits-government/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>Here are two simple truths. First, the Biden-Harris administration has allowed more dangerous people, including known terrorists, to cross our border and be released into the country than ever before. Second, as vice president, <strong>Kamala Harris</strong> was appointed as the point person over the border. With the president essentially incapacitated, she is in charge.</p>
<p><strong>Donald Trump</strong> and Republicans must relentlessly connect these two points without distractions. Harris recently <a class="rm-stats-tracked" href="https://dailycaller.com/2024/08/13/harris-pledged-close-migrant-detention-centers/">promised</a> to get tough on the border.</p></div></div></div></div></div></div>&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2024/08/how-trump-and-the-gop-should-call-kamalas-border-bluff/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a>]]></description>

<p>At a campaign rally on August 1st, <strong>Kamala Harris</strong>, while simultaneously taking a shot at <strong>Donald Trump</strong>, boasted of her superior crime-fighting ability, especially of her prosecutorial experience and skills. Using a cringe-worthy fake southern accent, Harris said:</p>
<blockquote><p><span style="background-color: #ffff99;"><em>“As many of you know, before I was elected Vice President and before I was elected a United States Senator, I was an elected Attorney General and an elected District Attorney. And before that, I was a courtroom prosecutor.</em></span></p></blockquote>&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2024/08/harris-the-crime-fighter-2/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a>]]></description>

<p>The election is a choice between San Francisco and Minneapolis anarcho-tyranny and Middle American ordered liberty. That must be the message every day from the Trump campaign now that Harris has tethered her San Francisco poop and drug fest to the infernos of <strong>Tim Walz</strong>’s Minneapolis riots.</p>
<p>Minnesota’s governor embodies anarcho-tyranny like no one before him. Democrats now contradict the social compact outlined in the preamble of the U.S. Constitution — “to establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare.”&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2024/08/wacky-walz-the-10-most-radical-acts-of-kamalas-running-mate/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>As many recall, the 2020 election results came as a shock. Logically, the results did not make sense.</p>

<p>Within hours of her being announced as President Biden’s presumed replacement as the Democratic nominee, Vice President <strong>Kamala Harris</strong>’ moderate makeover began.</p>
<p>Journalists reflexively began gushing over her “historic” candidacy and centrist views.</p>
<p>The love bombing and sheer dishonesty is a replay of 2020, when she ran for vice president as a supposed moderate.</p>
<p>The facts loudly spoke otherwise. As a U.S. senator from California from 2017 to 2021, she had a more leftist voting record even than socialist U.S.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2024/07/harris-had-a-more-leftist-voting-record-than-sanders/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>The Democratic Party’s handling of its presidential primaries over the past three election cycles has raised significant concerns about the internal democracy of a party that prides itself on democratic principles. The cases of <strong>Bernie Sanders</strong> in 2016, <strong>Joe Biden</strong> in 2020, and Biden’s forced step aside in 2024 exemplify a pattern where the party’s leadership has moved against the will of its members, leading to accusations of undemocratic practices.</p>

<p>U.S. Senator <strong>Josh Hawley</strong> (R-MO) is publicly expressing his concerns about the security provided to former President <strong>Donald Trump</strong> and the multiple failures of the security detail at the Trump campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, on July 13, 2024. According to information provided by whistleblowers to Hawley, the majority of security personnel at the event were <em><strong>not</strong></em> from the U.S. Secret Service, but rather from the Department of Homeland Security&#8217;s Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) team.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2024/07/u-s-senator-josh-hawley-on-security-failures-at-trump-rally/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>The theory of “projection” was initially developed by Sigmund Freud in the late 19th century. It’s the argument that humans tend to deny their bad behavior and instead accuse others of doing the same thing. It’s also called ethical deflection. In layman’s terms, it’s the pot calling the kettle black.</p>
<p>The idea is that rather than admitting you’re wrong, you always find it easier to criticize other people for doing the same things you do.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2024/07/bidens-moral-deflections-projections-of-a-liar-in-chief/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>What with the free-falling Biden fiasco and what’s going on at the national level with our presidential election, it’s pretty easy to lose sight of other important issues we should be talking about. But that’s what happening (temporarily) because something big did happen at the national level. It’s a watershed moment where we’re all paying attention, even as we enjoy our summer. No doubt the presidential election was already a “big” deal and obviously was getting bigger each day as we marched toward Nov.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2024/07/biden-democrats-party-and-landing-a-plane/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>As the Democrats struggle among themselves over President Joe Biden&#8217;s declining mental state and his declining poll numbers, it did not have to end up at this impasse. The Democrats and all their &#8220;mainstream&#8221; media enablers who claim they love democracy didn&#8217;t want any serious or rigorous primary challenge for Biden.</p>
<p>Is it possible that Democrats are still haunted by Ted Kennedy challenging President Jimmy Carter in 1980? The parallels between Carter and Biden on foreign fecklessness and domestic inflation are obvious.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2024/07/the-media-skipped-the-democrat-warning-of-bidens-mental-decline-2024/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[<p><em>Written by David E. Smith</em></p>
<p>In the wake of Thursday&#8217;s Presidential Debate between <strong>Donald J. Trump</strong> and <strong>Joe Biden</strong>, pundits on both side of the political spectrum agreed that President Biden&#8217;s mental acuity, weak voice and stammering and halting answers were alarming. Makes one wonder just who is behind the curtain in the White House making decisions.</p>
<p>Prior to this debate, there may have been some whispers in the wind about replacing Biden as the pro-abortion Democratic nominee, but those whispers are now being spoken loudly by political strategists and analysts on cable TV and news talk radio.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2024/06/joe-biden-2024-democratic-nominee-or-one-term-has-been/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[<p><em>Written by David Harsanyi</em></p>
<p>Not long ago, Snopes, a left-wing &#8220;fact-checking&#8221; site, finally admitted that <strong>Donald Trump</strong> had never called the neo-Nazis who marched at the Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville in 2017 &#8220;very fine people.&#8221;</p>
<p>For years, Democrats, including President <strong>Joe Biden</strong>, have repeated this false claim. Indeed, Biden, who&#8217;s been running for the presidency since 1987, ludicrously told the press in 2019 that the events in Charlottesville, and Trump&#8217;s alleged reaction, inspired him to run in 2020.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2024/06/theres-a-charlottesville-every-week-and-joe-biden-is-fine-with-it/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>You have to give media commentator <strong>Ana Navarro</strong> credit. She found a career loophole. Anything but profound or insightful, Navarro has continued to find work by capitalizing on her gender, ethnicity, and her willingness to wear a Republican label while criticizing <strong>every </strong>conservative policy idea.</p>
<p>It provides networks that want to avoid airing any <em>actual</em> conservative content the ability to claim they&#8217;ve &#8220;balanced&#8221; their coverage with a &#8220;Republican,&#8221; despite the fact that Navarro voted for <strong>Hillary Clinton</strong>, hosted fundraisers for <strong>Joe Biden</strong>, promotes transgenderism in the military, advocates for the killing of preborn humans, and opposes 2nd Amendment rights.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2024/06/is-joe-biden-the-most-religious-president-in-our-lifetime/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p style="font-weight: 400;">When the elected Democrat district attorney of Manhattan and his 12 (likely Democrat) Manhattan jurors convicted <strong>Donald Trump</strong> on artificially inflated felony counts of business accounting, you could count on leftist journalists to try to make it the Most Historic Event Ever.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">We&#8217;re not even sure it won&#8217;t all be reversed on appeal. But &#8220;historic&#8221; is their word of choice &#8230; when they like the result.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">In 1999, when <strong>Bill Clinton</strong> was impeached for lying under oath about sex with an intern named <strong>Monica Lewinsky</strong>, <strong>Geraldo Rivera</strong> was furious on the &#8220;Today&#8221; show:</p>
<blockquote>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">&#8220;It was a spiteful action, an action that they performed absolutely in violation of the framers&#8217; intent.</p></blockquote>&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2024/06/beware-when-leftist-journalists-use-founders-to-attack-trump/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a>]]></description>

<p>The number of illegal immigrants crossing the southern border continues at a frightening rate, and the Biden Administration continues to pretend it isn&#8217;t a major problem. Meanwhile, the persisting surge has only served to increase havoc in border states and big cities across the nation.</p>
<p>There is no question about it: the Biden Administration has encouraged this border crisis <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2020/12/13/us/border-crossing-migrants-biden.html?searchResultPosition=2" target="_blank" rel="noopener">from the very beginning</a> of his term.  Almost four years later, <a href="https://news.gallup.com/poll/470426/americans-showing-increased-concern-immigration.aspx" target="_blank" rel="noopener">voters are increasingly worried</a> about illegal immigration and the loss of our American identity.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2024/04/7000-percent-spike-in-chinese-immigrants-crossing-border/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p><strong>Robert F. Kennedy Jr</strong>. can be an unhinged leftist and crackpot, but he also happens to be correct about President <strong>Joe Biden</strong>&#8216;s attacks on constitutional order, particularly free expression.</p>
<p>Speaking to an incredulous <strong>Erin Burnett</strong> on CNN this week, Kennedy argued that Biden was a bigger threat to &#8220;democracy&#8221; than <strong>Donald Trump</strong>, a position that clashes with the media&#8217;s entire 2024 campaign messaging.</p>
<p>In a more decent world, we&#8217;d be debating which presidential candidate was better at upholding the constitutional order, rather than which one was worse.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2024/04/rfk-jr-is-right-about-joe-biden/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>President <strong>Joe Biden</strong> seemed to forget the name of a Catholic parish and confuse two foreign presidents during a Thursday evening press conference that was intended to defend the president’s memory after Special Counsel <strong>Robert Hur</strong> released his report regarding the investigation of Biden’s handling of classified documents.</p>
<p>In his <a href="https://www.justice.gov/storage/report-from-special-counsel-robert-k-hur-february-2024.pdf">report</a>, Hur described Biden’s memory as “hazy,” “faulty,” and “fuzzy.” The Special Counsel did not recommend criminal charges against the president, warning that Biden would “likely present himself to a jury, as he did during our interview of him, as a sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory.”&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2024/02/biden-forgets-things-in-speech-defending-his-memory/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[<p><em>Written by Nancy Hayes</em></p>
<p>Illinois Republican candidate <strong>Adam Niemerg</strong> was removed from the ballot for the upcoming March primary due to failure to “properly notarize his statement of candidacy.”</p>
<p>This was ruled a failure on Niemerg’s part to fulfill his obligation under the <a href="https://witnessslips.ilga.gov/legislation/ilcs/ilcs4.asp?DocName=000503120HArt.+VII&#38;ActID=107&#38;ChapterID=2&#38;SeqStart=4850000&#38;SeqEnd=5850000" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Illinois Notary Act</a>.</p>
<p>Recently, two citizens asked the Illinois State Board of Elections to follow these same statutes for <strong>Joe Biden</strong> for President. It appears that like Niemerg, Biden is also in violation of the Illinois Notary Act for failure to “properly notarize his statement of candidacy.”&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2024/02/exposing-deep-state-corruption-illinois-state-board-of-elections-outed/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>Inside the silo of the &#8220;legacy media,&#8221; they are alarmed that left-tilting government bureaucrats are being discouraged from telling social media platforms what speech they should suppress &#8230; in the name of &#8220;democracy.&#8221;</p>
<p>In 2020, these platforms crushed damaging stories about <strong>Hunter Biden</strong> and &#8220;conspiracy theories&#8221; about COVID emerging from a Chinese lab. It doesn&#8217;t matter now that the &#8220;suppressed&#8221; side was correct, and the &#8220;misinformation&#8221; actually came from the Left. <em>The Washington Post</em> expressed alarm under the headline: &#8220;U.S.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2023/12/the-media-mourn-end-of-biden-big-tech-censorship-partnership/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>Like many Americans who pay at least some level of attention to the news out of Washington, I watched some of the footage of the January 6th riot which the congressional committee that led the inquiry intentionally omitted. If you haven&#8217;t, check this out:</p>

<p>I understood and agreed with the criticism aimed at the Biden administration when it took half a day for the President of the United States to offer any kind of official statement condemning the coordinated, murderous invasion of Israeli neighborhoods, communities, businesses, and homes committed by Hamas terrorists. The deafening silence from the White House was unacceptable from every angle.</p>
<p>From a <strong>moral perspective</strong>, it was egregiously passive. For the leader of a progressive movement that prides itself on the silly pretension it champions both women and human rights, the sight of the unfolding horror demanded immediate, thunderous condemnation.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2023/10/democrats-offer-cringeworthy-response-to-horrific-terror-attacks-in-israel/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>The border between the United States and Mexico is approximately 1,954 miles long, and while much of the border is secured, there are large portions where it remains wide open for illegal immigration, smuggling, and trafficking.  When <strong>Joe Biden</strong> came into office, he inherited the lowest rate of illegal immigration in 45 years. Instead of following the successful policies of the Trump administration, he implemented three major changes that have resulted in a tsunami of migrants coming over the border:</p>
<ul>
<li>The first week in office Biden immediately halted construction of the border wall.</li></ul>&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2023/09/the-secure-the-border-act/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[<p><em>Written by David Harsanyi</em></p>
<p><strong>Joe Biden</strong> defenders have been on a wild ride this past year. It began with them arguing that the president knew absolutely nothing about his family&#8217;s influence-peddling business to arguing that it&#8217;s no big deal that Chicom wire payoffs happen to have Biden&#8217;s home address listed on them.</p>
<p>The quality of the excuses, unsurprisingly, has been deteriorating rapidly. They largely entail repeating the words &#8220;no&#8221; and &#8220;evidence&#8221; in a perpetual loop. But, this week, when <strong>James Comer</strong> released financial records of <strong>Hunter Biden</strong> receiving two wire transfers totaling $260,000 in 2019 from Beijing with the president&#8217;s Delaware home listed as the beneficiary address, the White House jumped into action.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2023/09/no-evidence-of-joe-biden-being-involved-in-the-family-business-keeps-piling-up/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[<p><em>Written by Tim Graham</em></p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;"><strong>Associated Press</strong> reporters were blunt about their latest poll:</p>
<blockquote>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">&#8220;Americans actually agree on something in this time of raw discord: Joe Biden is too old to be an effective president in a second term.&#8221;</p>
</blockquote>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">In the poll, fully <strong>77%</strong> said <strong>Biden</strong> is too old to be effective for four more years, as he would turn 86 in the White House. Naturally, <strong>89%</strong> of Republicans agreed — but so did <strong>69%</strong> of Democrats and, most importantly for the general election, <strong>74%</strong> of independents.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2023/09/joe-bidens-age-will-be-an-issue-in-2024/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>Off the main roads, where all you see are cornfields, farms, cows, horses and an occasional buggy, it’s easy to forget the predatory culture that has eclipsed normal American life in most other places.</p>
<p>A peaceful spirit animates the countryside inhabited by the Amish, a growing sect in Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia, Ohio, Indiana, Wisconsin, and more than two dozen other states.</p>
<p>“English” visitors, which is what the Amish call everyone else, seem to sense that they should behave better.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2023/08/biden-scandal-will-have-us-looking-to-the-amish-for-help/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>If recklessly lying to voters were a crime, most everyone in D.C. would be serving life in solitary confinement at Supermax. But in a liberal democracy, as frustrating as it often is, political misconduct is settled by voters and elections, not partisan prosecutors or rioters.</p>
<p>Feel free to campaign and vote against <strong>Donald Trump</strong> if you like. I&#8217;m certainly no fan. If Trump wins in 2024, Congress can impeach and remove him if they choose.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2023/08/jack-smiths-jan-6-indictments-are-an-attack-on-political-speech/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>As you know, yet another <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/gov.uscourts.flsd_.648652.85.0_2_TRUMP.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">federal indictment</a> of former President <strong>Donald J. Trump</strong> has been filed. This time for his efforts to protest the results of the 2020 election. Many legal experts and political pundits are saying this will be an extremely challenging case to prove, as it involves questions about freedom of speech, election interference, and whether the specific charges brought against him hold water legally.</p>
<p>In an interview with <em>Morning Wire</em>, attorney <strong>Andy McCarthy</strong> speculates that &#8220;<span style="background-color: #ffff99;">a good 90 percent of it, is politically protected speech.</span>&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2023/08/excellent-analysis-of-the-latest-federal-indictment-against-trump/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>The U.S. House Oversight Committee has been investigating the business dealings of <strong>Hunter Biden</strong> and his associates since 2020. In recent months, the committee has held a number of closed-door depositions with witnesses, including former Hunter Biden business associates <strong>Devon Archer</strong> and <strong>Tony Bobulinski</strong>.</p>
<p>Archer testified that he met with Hunter Biden in 2014 to discuss a business deal in China. Archer said that Hunter Biden told him that he was &#8220;looking for a way to get involved in China&#8221; and that he wanted to use Archer&#8217;s connections to help him do so.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2023/07/biden-family-corruption-and-anticipated-impeachment/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>The president recently <a href="https://twitter.com/POTUS/status/1681455057269555205?s=20">defined</a> “Bidenomics” as building the economy “from the middle out and bottom up, not the top down.” In fact, Bidenomics is really the economy’s equivalent to “long COVID,” whereby that same middle class suffers permanent degradation of quality of life and standard of living while being caught in the permanent and degenerative cycle of government debt, inflation, and market manipulation.</p>
<p>Despite the rosy economic projections from the White House, incontrovertible data shows that because of the COVID lockdown policies he and his predecessor supported and the new policies they enacted to “fix” the market distortions created by the endless debt-driven inflation, a young family now has to live at the top of the economic pyramid to even afford basic living.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2023/07/bidenomics-cashless-homeless-and-jobless/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>There is a good chance that you missed the big news out of Washington D.C. this week with the testimony of two IRS whistleblowers who testified at a U.S. House Oversight Committee hearing on July 19, 2023. According to <a href="https://www.newsbusters.org/blogs/nb/tim-graham/2023/07/21/column-when-republicans-win-media-are-hearings-impaired" target="_blank" rel="noopener">an article</a> by News Busters, the so-called &#8220;mainstream&#8221; media failed to cover this important probe into the slow-walked Hunter-Biden investigation.

<p>Will this finally be the week when Republicans take a critical look at our woke and broken military?</p>
<p>For years, as the military deteriorated in terms of its values, leadership, and mission focus, Republicans were solely focused on the top-line spending of how much we unconditionally shovel at the Pentagon and the military-industrial complex. After all, it was supposedly all to “support the troops.” But even when they had the chance to debate and vote on the National Defense Authorization Act, which is supposed to be a policy bill, their main focus was appropriations and not policy changes.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2023/07/congressional-gop-should-not-pass-a-defense-authorization-bill-without-these-8-policies/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>Have you ever wondered how President Biden could lie so often and so egregiously? Have you ever asked yourself how anyone can stand before millions of people on a near-daily basis and say things that are so blatantly false and do so with a straight face and an apparent clear conscience?</p>
<p>By almost any measure, Mr. Biden is a proven fraud and a pathological liar of the highest order.</p>
<p>Over the past few weeks alone, the president has repeatedly lied about his business dealings with his corrupt son.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2023/07/president-biden-is-a-liar/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>There is a good chance that you, like most of us, have become numb to the news of corruption, scandal, allegations of wrongdoing, and Congressional investigations. It is obvious to even the most casual observer, Democrats in Washington D.C. have weaponized the government to punish and dissuade anyone who threatens their despotism. Of course, you will never hear the drive-by media phrase it that honestly.</p>
<p>This is why we think it is important to call your attention to a development that many could have missed regarding the Biden family.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2023/07/irs-whistleblower-accuses-doj-of-obstruction-perjury/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>Here’s a brief quiz. What do all these events have in common?</p>
<p>Special counsel <strong>John Durham</strong>’s long-awaited report leaves no doubt that <strong>Hillary Clinton</strong>’s campaign facilitated the Russian collusion hoax “to vilify <strong>Donald Trump</strong>” during and after the 2016 presidential election cycle. The corrupt FBI leadership validated the scheme, which led to the first Trump impeachment. Democratic U.S. Representative <strong>Adam Schiff</strong> of California lied over and over to keep the hoax going.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2023/05/exposing-moral-evil-and-defrocking-those-who-weaponize-the-law/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>The <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/Durham-Report.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">report</a> of special counsel <strong>John Durham</strong> is, or ought to be, devastating for anyone who has put any credence in what has now been definitively revealed to be the Russia collusion hoax.</p>
<p>With a painstaking examination of the evidence (1,753 footnotes!), Durham establishes conclusively that there was no basis for the FBI to have begun its Crossfire Hurricane investigation of ties between the Trump campaign and Russia in July 2016. The Bureau acted on &#8220;raw, unanalyzed, and uncorroborated intelligence&#8221; and without checking with intelligence entities.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2023/05/the-russia-collusion-hoax/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p><span style="font-family: 'Bookman Old Style',serif;">A growing volume of incriminating evidence may lead to articles of impeachment against Joe Biden and other legal action against members of the Biden family. According to U.S. Representative <strong>James Comer</strong> (R-KY), </span></p>
<blockquote><p><span style="font-family: 'Bookman Old Style', serif; background-color: #ffff99;">&#8220;The Bidens’ foreign entanglements are breathtaking and raise serious questions about why foreign actors targeted the Biden family, what they expected in return, and whether our national security is threatened.&#8221;</span></p></blockquote>
<p><span style="font-family: 'Bookman Old Style',serif;">The U.S. House Committee on Oversight and Accountability has obtained thousands of pages of financial records revealing the Biden family’s and associates’ complicated network of companies set up during Joe Biden’s vice presidency and the millions of dollars the Bidens received from foreign sources.</span>&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2023/05/vast-body-of-evidence-for-biden-family-corruption/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[<p><em>Written by Alex Newman</em></p>
<p>Former President <strong>Donald J. Trump</strong> and Florida Governor <strong>Ron DeSantis</strong> are both focusing heavily on education policy in the run-up to the 2024 election, suggesting the issue will take center stage over the next two years. DeSantis is already on the warpath in Florida, as Trump vows to wrest control of schools from “radical left maniacs” and “pink-haired communists” in his second term.</p>
<p>Among other tactics, both men are vowing to ramp up conservative defenses in the ongoing culture war within schools as public education becomes increasingly radicalized — and unpopular with parents desperate to stop the sexualization and indoctrination of their children at taxpayer expense.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2023/03/trump-desantis-target-woke-education-on-road-to-white-house/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>The easiest layup in proving the &#8220;mainstream media&#8221; is hyperpartisan is to study how they cover congressional hearings. After two years of obsessive media promotion and congratulation and live coverage of the Pelosi-picked panel on Jan. 6, the network &#8220;newscasts&#8221; can&#8217;t locate a hearing now with two hands.</p>
<p>On March 1, the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee questioned Biden administration Attorney General <strong>Merrick Garland</strong> for the first time in the new Congress. The hearing was not devoid of newsworthiness.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2023/03/congressional-hearings-about-team-biden-die-in-darkness/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[<h1><strong>Illinois Democrats still blame Republican governors while Biden administration implements new action</strong></h1>
<p><em>Written by John Lopez</em></p>
<p>No more lies.</p>
<p>Since the first buses arrived in Chicago from southern-border states in late August, both Illinois Governor <strong>J.B. Pritzker</strong> (D) and Chicago Mayor <strong>Lori Lightfoot</strong> (D) have been publicly critical, even hinting at a criminal investigation into the actions of southern governors, in particular, Texas Governor <strong>Greg Abbott</strong> (R).  Abbott&#8217;s &#8220;Operation Lone Star&#8221; gained national attention when it started to bus illegal immigrants from the Texas-Mexico border to the self-declared &#8220;sanctuary cities&#8221; of New York City, then Washington, D.C.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2022/10/mentiras/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>On Wednesday, Aug. 10, <strong>Merrick Garland</strong>, the United States Attorney General, confidently strutted to the national podium and asserted, “No person is above the law in this country. I can’t say it any more clearly than that.” He then went further: “There is nothing … which prevents us from investigating anyone — anyone — who’s criminally responsible …”</p>
<p>As principled as that all sounds, one can’t help but ask Mr. &#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2022/08/why-are-no-democrats-prosecuted-by-garlands-doj/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>Everyone should be deeply troubled by the recent report that the Army is on pace to miss its recruiting goal by dozens of thousands of troops and by the report that followed a few days later, alleging that the Border Patrol is running short of agents in Arizona and Texas. The border is so porous these days that even mayors of sanctuary cities are starting to complain about illegal immigration.</p>
<p>So, what is Congress doing about these crises?&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2022/08/biden-puts-irs-funding-ahead-of-military-and-border-security/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>Once upon a time, Democrats were terrified that a power-mad White House would ignore the “will of the people.” They warned of dire consequences if the president did end-runs around the U.S. Congress.</p>
<p>That was between 2017 and 2021. They subverted the Trump presidency every way they could while he painted within constitutional lines. Now, with an eye on November, they are urging President Biden to go “beast mode.” He already has.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2022/08/impatient-democrats-hear-the-clock-ticking/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>
