SPOTLIGHT: Could New Illinois Be Just What Illinois Needs?

Written by Alyssa Sonnenburg

What if you could leave Illinois, but never have to move?

Illinois Family Spotlight’s special guest, G.H. Merritt, says that it is possible.

G.H. Merritt is the founder of New Illinois, a non-partisan, non-profit organization with the mission of educating the people of Illinois about their rights under the U.S. Constitution to pursue separation and formation of a new state.

“… outside of Cook County, people do not have true representative government…

… you have a county with 40% of the population dominating the rest of the state with 60% of the population, and that absorption of power allowed… them to gerrymander and just take power completely.

Serious, Sincere Christians Should Never Vote for a Democrat

Written by Trevor Grant Thomas

I’ve reached that stage of life that, on occasion, I’m asked for life advice. My best, most succinct answer is this: Follow Jesus and don’t vote for Democrats. The reason for the former part of my statement is widely known, and the reason for the latter is simple: The Democrat Party is one of the greatest tools of Satan in the world today.

In spite of this, there is some foolish thing called “Evangelicals for Harris.”… Continue Reading

Does the Media Use Fake Polls to Depress Republican Turnout?

Written by Elizabeth Vaughn

Ahead of the Democratic National Convention this week, “Fox News Sunday” host Shannon Bream rattled off the latest batch of battleground state polls from New York Times/Siena College to U.S. Senator J.D. Vance (R-OH), which showed Vice President Kamala Harris leading former President Donald Trump by 5 points in Arizona and by 2 points in North Carolina. She also referenced two new national surveys from ABC News/Washington Post and CBS News showing Harris ahead of Trump by 4 points and 3 points in those respective states.… Continue Reading

What to Expect at the Democratic National Convention

Written by Robert Knight

The Democratic National Convention convenes on today and runs through Thursday, Aug. 22.

“More than 15,000 members of the media will be in Chicago to cover the convention,” the convention website informs us. That is, they’re supposed to be there to cover it, not act as delegates. But it’ll work out the same way.

The media will help Democrats create a misleading portrait of the party to pump into America’s living rooms.… Continue Reading

Redefining ‘the middle’: Pelosi, Walz and Modern Democrats

Written by Robert Knight

Representative Nancy Pelosi, the former U.S. House speaker and one of the most prolific gaslighters in history, let out enough gas this week to power the West Coast.

Asked about the Democrats’ choice of Minnesota Governor Tim Walz to run for vice president alongside presidential nominee Kamala Harris, she emitted: “Tim Walz I know very well. He served in the House. To characterize him as left is so unreal. It’s just not — he’s right down the middle.… Continue Reading

Chicago…Weeping For Her Children

Written by Mark Elfstrand

The alarms were sounded throughout every village and upon every non-existent city hill—the Democrats are coming to Chicago! And indeed it’s true! The Democratic National Convention chose Chicago as their host city in 2024.

The dates are Monday, August 19th through Thursday, August 22nd.

They could hardly have picked a more like-minded community in which to gather. A cursory look back at the city’s history would inform us that William Lane Thompson was the last of his kind to be Mayor of Chicago.… Continue Reading

Lame (Duck) Joe’s SCOTUS Deconstruction Scheme

Written by James M. Odom, Senior Counsel

All Americans should be in favor of term limits for the U.S. Supreme Court.

“How long is the term of a Supreme Court Justice?

The Constitution [Article III, Section 1] states that Justices “shall hold their Offices during good Behaviour.” This means that the Justices hold office as long as they choose and can only be removed from office by impeachment.”

The term of a Supreme Court Justice is life, and one life term is enough!… Continue Reading

“What Kind of Country Do You Want to Live In?” In Speech to Teachers’ Union, Kamala Harris Revives Culture War Against People of Faith, Families, and Freedom

Written by Kathy Athearn

Vice President Kamala Harris spoke before the American Federation of Teachers (AFT) last Thursday. This was her first speech as a presidential candidate, since President Biden ended his campaign and endorsed Harris as the Democratic nominee.

Rather than hiding the fact that the AFT has had a tremendous amount of power and influence on the Biden administration and the country, Harris proudly announced it, thanking AFT president, Randi Weingarten, in particular saying that she has been a “great force” and “an incredible friend and adviser” to the president and her.… Continue Reading

Too Big to Rig

Written by Alyssa Sonnenburg

“We want a landslide that is TOO BIG TO RIG.” – President Donald Trump

As many recall, the 2020 election results came as a shock. Logically, the results did not make sense.

Sure enough, only days after the election was called, fraud allegations were circulating on social media and conservative networks.

The burning question was this: Was the election stolen?

In response to this question, The Heartland Institute, a free-market platform, sponsored a Rasmussen Poll that surveyed 1,085 voters from Nov 30^th through December 6^th of 2023, releasing the results on December 13^th.… Continue Reading

Come November, Remember The Liberal Media’s Lies

Written by Dr. Everett Piper

This coming November, remember the incessant lies you’ve been told. Remember how you’ve been gaslighted.

Remember, you were told that President Biden was competent, healthy and sharp in mind and body and that those who pointed out the signs of dementia he showed were guilty of “cheap fakes.”

Remember, they said Mr. Biden was the last line of defense against an existential threat to democracy while he and his party were sidestepping the democratic process to install their real nominee without a single voter casting a single vote.… Continue Reading
