Our nation is facing an unprecedented crisis of illegal immigration — one that threatens not only our national sovereignty but the foundational principle that is essential for the maintenance of a free society: the rule of law.
The plain truth is that those who cross into our nation unlawfully have violated the law. Under 8 U.S.C. § 1325, it is a misdemeanor to enter the United States illegally. That some administrations have failed to enforce these laws does not make these individuals legal residents.… Continue Reading
In this episode of the Spotlight podcast, we’re highlighting remarks from Dr. Brad Wilcox during the Illinois Family Institute’s 2025 Marriage & Family worldview conference, hosted by Belmont Bible Church in Downer’s Grove.
The Democrats’ “free stuff army” has stopped growing, just in time. Maybe.
At some point, if tax eaters outnumber taxpayers, the whole thing will come crashing down.
That is the actual Cloward-Piven Strategy concocted by Marxist academics Richard Cloward and Frances Fox Piven back in 1966. Their hope was that a socialist government would pick up the pieces and destroy capitalism.
Anyway, the border is now secure under President Donald Trump after four years of President Joe Biden’s policies allowing an estimated 6 million to 10 million migrants to enter the United States illegally and get on the dole.… Continue Reading
Today we’re highlighting remarks from Dr. Brad Wilcox during the Illinois Family Institute’s 2025 Marriage & Family worldview conference, hosted by Belmont Bible Church in Downer’s Grove.
During his interview on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, Illinois Governor JB Pritzker was confronted with the reality of the state’s wildly gerrymandered Congressional Districts.
In a sad attempt to make light of this serious issue, Pritzker tells Colbert that his Democratic predecessors “we handed it over to a kindergartner class and let them decide…”
It would be funny if it weren’t so very serious. The maps disenfranchise conservative voters all across the state and undermine our republican form of government.… Continue Reading
Across Illinois and the nation, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has been quietly expanding its footprint by acquiring U.S. farmland. According to 2023 data from the USDA, Chinese investors now own approximately 277,336 acres of American agricultural land. While that number may seem modest, the trend is accelerating—and raising serious national security concerns.
In response, U.S. Representative Mary Miller (R‑Quincy), a member of the House Agriculture Committee, recently introduced H.R.… Continue Reading

Last week, I posted a comment on Facebook from Amichai Chikli, Israel’s minister of diaspora affairs, whereby he said there is a growing concern among Israeli leaders that people in the West don’t understand we are undergoing the same existential threat that his country is facing, but just in a much more subtle way.
“I think it is very important for Americans to understand,” he said, “that there is a plan by the Muslim Brotherhood [and its proxy organizations such as CAIR, the Council on American-Islamic Relations] to make America a Muslim state.” … Continue Reading
It’s the gay. . .movement that lies to the American public. They will accept if your child identifies as bisexual, transgender, nonbinary, gender queer, polyamory — but they won’t accept if a gay kid decides, ‘hey, I’m gonna leave this lifestyle.’
Peter LaBarbara is President of the Center for Morality & Americans for Truth, a national group dedicated to exposing the homosexual, bisexual, transgender activist agendas. Labarbara discusses with Monte how Trump’s Administration has affected their cause.… Continue Reading
French President Emmanuel Macron and British Prime Minister Keir Starmer announced this week that their countries would unilaterally recognize a Palestinian state.
The first problem with that is “Palestine” is a fictional place. There never was any such thing.
And diplomatic recognition of it no more changes this reality than if Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu were to decide to recognize the archipelago of Islamic banlieues on the outskirts of Paris as an independent nation.… Continue Reading
For months, Republicans and Democrats alike have insisted on keeping the Medicaid subsidy scam alive — even as it drives inflation and enriches the health care cartel. With the Biden-era expansion of Obamacare “marketplace” subsidies set to expire in December, both parties want to renew them. But this moment offers Republicans a rare opportunity: Finally lower health care costs for Americans not living on government handouts.
Obamacare buried the middle class
The ill-named Affordable Care Act helped Republicans win more elections than any issue in recent memory.… Continue Reading
