Governor Pritzker Penalizes Citizen for Doing His Job

Written by Alyssa Sonnenburg

Illinois has been known as a “sanctuary state” since August of 2017 when Governor Pritzker signed the TRUST Act (SB 31) into law.

This legislation restricts both local and state law enforcement from cooperating in any way with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

As we have seen in recent months, the reality of Illinois being a “sanctuary state” for illegal immigrants has continued to build to a boiling point.

If you thought the TRUST Act was radical legislation, this past week revealed the dangerous reality for citizens living in a “sanctuary state” with a governor who has little concern for his constituents – those he is obligated to protect.… Continue Reading

Prayer and Faithfullness in a Time of Turmoil

Written by David E. Smith

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.”

Irresponsible politicians like Governor JB Pritzker, U.S. Senator Tammy Duckworth and Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson are in lockstep agreement with their counterparts in Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, U.S.… Continue Reading

The Media Is Repeating the George Floyd Playbook

Written by Robert Knight

You just knew when anti-U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement protester Renee Good tragically died in Minneapolis on Jan. 7 that the media would turn her into the next George Floyd.

Floyd, whose asphyxiation death under the knee of a police officer triggered the 2020 anti-police riots that took at least 25 lives and caused $2 billion in damage, has since been virtually deified. Minneapolis has named a square after him and erected a “living memorial” featuring art installations, including a raised-fist sculpture, in his honor.… Continue Reading

Time to End Welfare for Non-Citizens

Written by David E. Smith

In a moment when Washington D.C. spends with reckless abandon and our national debt towers above $38 trillion, it’s past time we confront a glaring inconsistency in our federal welfare system. Last week, U.S. Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) introduced the End Welfare for Non-Citizens Act — a bill rooted in fiscal responsibility, the rule of law, and basic fairness to American taxpayers.

In an interview with Real America’s Voice (RAV), U.S.… Continue Reading

It’s Time to End Washington’s Infinite Entitlement State

Written by Daniel Horowitz

It’s the $1.2 trillion question.

The United States spends roughly $1.2 trillion every year on means-tested welfare programs — cash aid, food assistance, housing subsidies, and medical care. The list runs through a thicket of acronyms: SNAP, TANF, SSI, EITC, ACTC, WIC, CHIP, ACA subsidies, and CCDBG, plus school meals, Medicaid, and Section 8 housing.

This guaranteed-income architecture now fuels a destructive cycle. Federal spending drives debt. Debt fuels inflation. Inflation expands dependence.… Continue Reading

Weaponizing Tragedy: The Left’s War on Law and Order

Written by David E. Smith

The shooting and death of Renee Nicole Good by an ICE agent in Minneapolis was tragic, completely avoidable, and deserves a full, transparent investigation and a serious response. We cannot ignore the dangerous reality on the ground: federal law-enforcement officers carrying out a vital mission are being targeted, threatened, doxed, assaulted, and routinely obstructed. That cannot continue.

These mob tactics cross the line. The First Amendment guarantees “the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.”… Continue Reading

A Welfare State Without Borders Is a License to Steal

Written by Robert Knight

The multibillion-dollar Somali welfare scandal in Minnesota continues to grow, even as Democrats do their best to tamp it down.

U.S. Representative Ilhan Omar, who represents the Twin Cities area and is a naturalized citizen from Somalia, lamented the fraud but said the focus on Somalis was because of bigotry. She wrote a column for The New York Times accusing President Trump of “hate speech” and “racism, xenophobia, Islamophobia and division.”… Continue Reading

Citizenship, Not Chaos: Washington’s Test for Immigration

Written by Michael Barone

As news reports proliferate of multimillion-dollar — and possibly billion-dollar — fraudulent diversions of government funds involving Minnesota’s Somali immigrant community, it may be time at one year’s end and the next one’s beginning to take a longer look at America’s experience with immigration, and to seek the guidance of the first and one of its two greatest presidents.

The Founding Fathers were aware that their new nation was gifted with vast acreage, but only 4 million people were counted in the first decennial Census in 1790.… Continue Reading

Open Borders, Open Jihad

Written by Daniel Horowitz

Over the course of a single day this month, a pattern repeated itself across the West. Two Muslims murdered at least 15 people at a Hanukkah celebration in Sydney. Five Muslims were arrested for plotting an attack on a Christmas market in Germany. French authorities canceled a concert in Paris due to credible threats of an Islamist terror attack. Two Iowa National Guardsmen in Syria were murdered by an Islamist while we play footsie with an illegitimate regime.… Continue Reading

Ilhan Omar’s Unchallenged Claims — and a Protective Media

Written by Tim Graham

As a leftist Muslim immigrant from Somalia, radical U.S. Representative Ilhan Omar (D-MN) is wonderfully blessed with a DEI press. She is perennially assumed to be a victim of racism, sexism and xenophobia whenever she is criticized, and especially when she’s verbally targeted by President Donald Trump.

At the end of a typically syrupy interview with Esme Murphy from the local CBS station WCCO in Minneapolis on Sunday, Omar claimed her 19-year-old son Adnan Hirsi was pulled over by Immigrations and Customs Enforcement personnel.… Continue Reading
