Scandal Questions Go Down the Latrine Jean-Pierre

Written by Tim Graham

White House briefings in the Biden years are often sleepy meetings compared to the Jim Acosta shriek-fests we remember under Trump. President Joe Biden pledged he would be so much nicer to the press corps. He promised to “bring transparency and truth back to the government.” But the press is much nicer to him than the other way around.

Biden provides far less access than Trump did. He avoids press conferences and one-on-one interviews like the plague.… Continue Reading

SPOTLIGHT: Celebrating American Independence

Written by Alyssa Sonnenburg

In this episode of Illinois Family Spotlight, Monte Larrick interviews attorney David Shestokas, a former 2022 candidate for Illinois Attorney General. Mr. Shestokas is involved in the battle for election integrity, and is the author of two must-read books: Creating the Declaration of Independence and Constitutional Soundbites.

In this episode, Shestokas emphasizes the important role that the Declaration of Independence currently plays in preserving American freedoms. He notes,

“What the Constitution is intended to do is to execute the ideals that are found in the Declaration of Independence… the Constitution itself is a pretty mechanical document, but the Declaration of Independence defines really what it means to be an American.”

IRS Whistleblower Accuses DOJ of Obstruction & Perjury

Written by David E. Smith

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.

This is why we think it is important to call your attention to a development that many could have missed regarding the Biden family.… Continue Reading

Taxation Without Representation: GOP Must Stop Global Tax Cartel

Written by Daniel Horowitz

There’s nothing new about Europe wanting to take away American ingenuity, research and development, and freedoms and then make us pay for the rope to hang ourselves. What is new, however, is an American administration that is working with Europe on an international tax-cartel scheme that is designed to erode U.S. sovereignty, incentivize the growth of all governments, and penalize American taxpayers, consumers, and workers over those in other countries.

It is why congressional Republicans must oppose the global corporate minimum tax scheme being adopted by the OECD and instigated by Biden’s treasury secretary, Janet Yellen.… Continue Reading

Non-Citizens Will Have the Power to Arrest Legal American Citizens in Illinois?

Written by Nancy Hayes

At a recent Three Headed Eagle Alliance event called “Pints and Politics,” Dan Caulkins (R-Decatur), a member of the Illinois Freedom Caucus stated: “No non-citizen American should ever be in a position to arrest an American citizen in America.”

This seems like an obvious statement, but Caulkins was responding to the recent passing of HB 3751, which amends the Illinois Municipal Code by adding the following:

An individual who is not a citizen but is legally authorized to work in the U.S.

A Coverup Most Have Never Heard About: The Attack on The USS Liberty

Written by Nancy Hayes

In the age of government coverups and disinformation, like Anthony Fauci and his gain-of-function research at the Wuhan Lab, Hillary Clinton’s private server and emails, Hunter Biden’s laptop, and, and, and…the list of high-level cover-ups goes on and on. There is one that precedes them all, but most people have never even heard about it: the attack on the USS Liberty.

Recently, the USS Liberty Veterans Association observed the 56th anniversary of the attack.… Continue Reading

What Does God Say About Pride?

Written by Dr. Everett Piper

On June 10, President Joe Biden took to the national stage to celebrate what he described as “the largest Pride celebration ever held at the White House” “Happy Pride Month,” he shouted.

“Happy Pride Year. Happy Pride life! … God bless you all”

In keeping with our president’s passion for pride and his attendant prayer for God’s blessings, would it not be wise to reflect a bit on what God actually has to say about this newfound “virtue” that the whole nation now spends an entire month celebrating?… Continue Reading

The Forgotten Leverage U.S. House Republicans Can Wield to Shut Down Weaponized Government

Written by Daniel Horowitz

Have you ever wondered why we are stuck with terrible government policies, programs, and agencies indefinitely with no ability to repeal or reform them? After all, seldom do we ever get enough support in all three branches of government to do the right thing. In reality, our political leaders who came before us weren’t as flawed as we think. Most critical functions of government, indeed, are not on autopilot. They expire every few years and are subject to reauthorization.… Continue Reading

SPOTLIGHT: The Worldview of Our Age

Written by Alyssa Sonnenburg

In this podcast episode of Illinois Family Spotlight, Monte Larrick interviews Dr. Voddie Baucham regarding the issues of education, worldview, and critical race theory. The latter threatening to divide the Church and nation. There is an agenda to push a “false divide” between black and white people. In an interview with Christianity Daily, Dr. Baucham points out:

“So the Jew-Gentile divide that Paul talks about in the latter half of Ephesians 2, that is a real divide that God established.… Continue Reading

Welcome to The Uniparty

Written by Daniel Horowitz

McCarthy’s debt deal was supposedly the greatest spending cut of all time. Yet those cuts must have fooled everyone else, because all but six Democrats voted for the bill in the U.S. Senate, while Republican senators opposed it 32-17. This latest betrayal is the culmination of years’ worth of GOP perfidy on the most important budget bills, in which each one garnered more support from Democrats than Republicans no matter which branch of government Republicans controlled.… Continue Reading
