Yes, I called IL-11 Republican nominee Catalina Lauf a “phony” on national radio and here’s why
by John Lopez
On September 11, 2022, I phoned in to Beyond the Beltway with Bruce DuMont, which is broadcast live across the country Sunday nights from Salem Media Group’s studios in Elk Grove Village.

Comments Off on Catalina Lauf Abandons “Pro-Life Conservative” and Second Amendment Planks
Written by Robert Knight
Someone in the FBI keeps leaking materials that agents seized during the shocking, unprecedented nine-hour raid of former President Donald Trump’s Florida home on August 8.
We know this because supposedly sensitive documents keep turning up in the Washington Post. Of course, they do. The paper justifies its eager role in the FBI-fueled witch hunt against Mr. Trump by claiming concern for “national security.”
If that’s their motive, the Post should report on President Joe Biden’s dangerous foreign policies and his perversion of our armed forces into a “safe space” for Corporal Klinger.… Continue Reading

The organized labor movement helped to build the United States of America to be the greatest country in the world.
Once workers were protected with laws many take for granted today, like the 40-hour work week, overtime pay and the ability for front line workers to organize, the American middle class was established and thrived through most of the 20th Century.… Continue Reading

We now know the Aug 8, 2022 raid on former President Donald Trump’s home at Mar-A-Lago, was authorized by a federal judge at the request of U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland. We also know more than forty federal prosecutors, FBI agents, and “others” participated in what Mr. Garland called a “search” of the former president’s home “to prevent the destruction of evidence” in criminal activity.
No former president of the United States has ever been subjected to such indignity.

The Biden administration has a lot of nerve proposing to double the budget of the Internal Revenue Service and add 87,000 employees.
This plan is set to become law as part of the soon-to-be-enacted Inflation Reduction Act. And it comes around the same time as the outrageous FBI raid of former President Donald Trump‘s Mar-a-Lago compound in Palm Beach, Florida. The Biden administration has converted the FBI and the Justice Department into functionaries of the Democratic Party’s character assassination campaign.… Continue Reading

Comments Off on An IRS That’s Armed and Dangerous
Written by Dr. Everett Piper
On Wednesday, Aug. 10, Merrick Garland, 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 …”
As principled as that all sounds, one can’t help but ask Mr. … Continue Reading

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.
So, what is Congress doing about these crises?… Continue Reading
