During the recent vice presidential debate on CBS News, Governor Tim Walz (D-MN) quoted Scripture and applied it to how we should respond to the flood of illegal immigrants coming across the border, saying we should protect “the least among us…” Here is his answer in context, from the debate transcript:
Look, this issue of continuing to bring this up, of not dealing with it, of blaming migrants for everything.

When Illinois voters make their candidate selections on the November 5, 2024, election ballot, they will also be asked their opinions on three advisory questions:
- Should all medically appropriate assisted reproductive treatments, including, but not limited to, in vitro fertilization, be covered by any health insurance plan in Illinois that provides coverage for pregnancy benefits, without limitation on the number of treatments?
- Should the Illinois Constitution be amended to create an additional 3% tax on income greater than $1,000,000 for the purpose of dedicating funds raised to property tax relief?

Something really started bothering me as I read the news that our sister site, The Babylon Bee, was forced into a lawsuit against Governor Gavin Newsom and the absurd California legislature for passing an anti-free speech law in their state.
I read that news the same day I saw a “thread” post from mega-minister Ray Ortlund that stated, “Never Trump, this time Harris, always Jesus.” The post was endorsed by Christian writer David French who affirmed, “This is the way.”… Continue Reading

It’s election season, and that usually means that three kinds of people start getting really loud right about now.
First, the candidates themselves start campaigning harder than ever. Second, those who are especially civics-minded begin to non-partisanly clamor at everyone else to “Do your patriotic duty and vote!” And third? We all have that one Uncle Bob (or equivalent figure in your life) who just can’t stand either of the two main parties and is proudly and purely casting his ballot for some third-party candidate you never heard of before.… Continue Reading

A Newsweek article from August chronicles the many Republicans who have openly pledged their support for Kamala Harris.
Their list includes former Vice President Dick Cheney, former U.S. Representatives Liz Cheney (Wyoming), Adam Kinzinger (Illinois), former Trump White House official Stephanie Grisham, and a group of over 200 staffers for previous presidential Republican candidates.
Enough Republicans are feeling likewise that Newsweek reports a program started by the Harris campaign—”Republicans for Harris”—which is intentionally catering to Republicans who are rejecting Trump.… Continue Reading

As you know, our choices for the President of the United States (POTUS) are either Vice President Kamala Harris or former President Donald J. Trump. It is a choice between the continuation of the Biden-Harris Administration or a return to the policies of the Trump Administration.
Under a Harris-Walz administration, we can expect big government mandates that will promote taxpayer funding of unrestricted abortion on-demand, transgenderism (even for inmates), housing, food and healthcare for illegal immigrants, and free college tuition and student loans wiped clean.… Continue Reading

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.
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.… Continue Reading

“Nothing shocks me anymore” is a phrase Christian conservatives find themselves saying with evermore frequency these days, often with a deep sigh. Yet you’ll probably be astounded to learn that Illinois Congressional Democrats voted against the Violence Against Women by Illegal Aliens Act (HR 7909) this week.
Joining most of their fellow Democrats in the U.S. House, they voted “no.” The title of a Fox News report highlights the disgrace: “158 Dems vote against bill to deport illegal immigrants who commit sex crimes.… Continue Reading

Fox News reported that presidential candidate Kamala Harris affirmed her support of a federal wealth tax.
It’s meant to hit only the “super wealthy”:
“The proposal would impose a minimum tax of 25% on total income, generally inclusive of unrealized capital gains, for all taxpayers with wealth (that is, the difference obtained by subtracting liabilities from assets) greater than $100 million,” the Treasury Department stated in its FY25 revenue proposals. The same proposal was also put forth by the Biden-Harris administration in fiscal year 2024 and in fiscal year 2023, but the minimum taxable amount was 20%.
