Trump, Miller Blast Pritzker as Chicago Violence Spirals

Written by David E. Smith

Chicago endured another bloody Labor Day weekend: eight people killed and 58 shot, including two teenagers. President Donald J. Trump responded by declaring, “Enough is enough… we’re going in,” signaling his willingness to send federal help to restore order in the city.

Trump contrasted Chicago’s spiraling violence with Washington, D.C., which he claimed is now a “safe zone” after federal intervention. “You can walk right down the middle of the street… you’re safe,” he told reporters.… Continue Reading

Illinois Imam Invokes Muhammads Example to Justify Hostility Toward Jews Today.

Jihadwatch.org published an article titled:  Illinois: Imam invokes Muhammad’s example to justify hostility toward Jews today based upon a report published by The Middle East Media Research Institute.

The The Middle East Media Research Institute report states in part:

Imam Mazhar Mahmood of the Islamic Foundation of Peoria, IL, said in his August 8, 2025 Friday sermon that “alleged” Muslims suggest building “political situations” with the Zionists for the sake of stability, and he asked whether Muslims have “stooped so low.”… Continue Reading

Written by James Odom, Legal Counsel

An urgent matter requires our attention and action (BY 5:00 P.M., THIS FRIDAY)!

We oppose the appointment of Terra Costa Howard who has become an applicant to fill a vacancy which will occur on October 15th due to the retirement of Circuit Judge Paul Fullerton (18th Judicial Circuit, covering 7 counties: Kane, DuPage, Will, Kendall, Grundy, cities: Princeton, Ottawa, Morris, Shorewood, Kankakee, Watseka, and Wheaton).

Judge Fullerton currently serves at-large in the 18th Circuit, District 3, at the DuPage County Courthouse.… Continue Reading

Bad Climate Policy Fuels Skyrocketing Electric Bills

Written by Rev. Calvin Lindstrom 

In his excellent history of the 20th century, Modern Times, Paul Johnson quotes one of Stalin’s economists: “Our task is not to study economics but to change it. We are bound by no laws.” I believe this describes the general tenor of the Democratic regime that rules Chicago and Illinois. They are people who believe that they can transcend the order and laws God has established, hence their support for abortion, the mutilation of children, and a host of other evils.… Continue Reading

America Needs Real Dads

Written by Dr. Everett Piper

Last month, it was a woman named Holly who was punched in the face and left unconscious in downtown Cincinnati. Last week, it was the brutal beating of a 19-year-old man named Edward Coristine, who, while protecting his girlfriend during an attempted carjacking, was left bloodied and shirtless on the streets of the District of Columbia.

Why are these stories becoming so commonplace? Why are hordes of young men, from Seattle to San Diego and from Minneapolis to Miami, now taking over America’s cities like a pack of rabid wolves?… Continue Reading

Pritzker Tells Colbert That Illinois Dems Are Kindergartners?

Written by David E. Smith

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

Gov. Pritzker to Fight Gerrymandering with… More Gerrymandering?

Written by David E. Smith

Last week, Illinois Governor JB Pritzker raised the possibility of redrawing the state’s congressional map before the 2026 midterm elections, positioning it as a direct response to Republican-led redistricting efforts in Texas.

Pritzker, who has his eyes set on becoming the next Democratic nominee for the White House, hosted a delegation of Texas Democratic lawmakers in Illinois, offering political support and strategic coordination with fellow Democratic governor Gavin Newsom of California.… Continue Reading

SCOTUS to Hear Challenge to Illinois’ Extension of Election Day

Written by David E. Smith

In a case that could have national implications for election integrity, the U.S. Supreme Court has agreed to hear Judicial Watch, Inc. et al. v. The Illinois State Board of Elections, a lawsuit brought on behalf of U.S. Representative Mike Bost (R-Murphysboro) and two presidential electors. At the heart of the case is whether Illinois acted unlawfully by allowing mail-in ballots to be counted up to 14 days after the federally established Election Day.… Continue Reading

Good Committeemen Needed in Cook County

Written by David E. Smith

Among Illinois conservatives, frustration with Cook County Republican leadership—and their backroom deals with Chicago Democrats—is boiling over. In many circles, that frustration has turned into outright rage. This discontent isn’t new; countless conservatives have already walked away from the party. But unrest is growing. Talk of an internal GOP civil war is becoming more frequent, and some may even buy into the idea of launching a third party—a move that would all but guarantee more victories for the Democrats.… Continue Reading

Pritzker and Perversion

Written by Rev. Calvin Lindstrom

At the close of June 2025, Jay Robert Pritzker declared his intention to seek an unprecedented third term as Governor of Illinois. This move, widely interpreted as a stepping stone toward a potential presidential bid, solidifies his political trajectory and raises critical questions about the nature of power and influence in contemporary American governance.

Pritzker’s path to the governorship has been paved with an unparalleled personal fortune. In 2018, he invested an astounding $171.5 million of his own wealth into his campaign, followed by an additional $145 million in 2022 to secure his second term.… Continue Reading
