Our Tactics Define Our End

Written by David E. Smith

One of the great truths that history teaches us is this: your means define your end. The methods you employ in pursuit of power reveal not only your character, but the kind of world you intend to create.

For years now, we have watched the political Left justify political violence and arson, widespread looting, heavy-handed censorship, and even election manipulation under the banner of “saving democracy.” During the 2020 riots, many progressives quietly admitted that movements like Antifa and BLM were destructive—but excused them as necessary to stop Donald Trump, whom they continue to equate with Adolf Hitler and Nazism.… Continue Reading

Salt That Loses Its Flavor

Written by Mark Elfstrand, IFI Cultural Affairs Writer 

Self analysis can be helpful. Or harmful. Discovering and admitting to weaknesses should lead us to making changes that will move us forward. Failing to make that honest assessment can bring us to a sense of failure and even despair.

The political fallout from the 2024 elections has forced Democrats into some heavy self analysis. It’s even created a sense of helplessness to some degree. Pinpointing the core problem seems to be a mystery.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

Voter Fraud Is Real — Just Ask This Convicted Democrat Operative

Written by David E. Smith

For years, Americans concerned about election fraud have been dismissed, mocked, or accused of undermining democracy. But facts are stubborn things. And the facts in New Jersey just caught up with a powerful Democrat insider.

Craig Callaway, a former Atlantic City Council President and longtime Democratic political operative, was sentenced this week to 24 months in federal prison for orchestrating a widespread vote-by-mail fraud scheme during the 2022 general election.… Continue Reading

Time For Conservatives to Kick Antisemites Out

Written by Dr. Everett Piper

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

SPOTLIGHT: The Movement That Lies to America

Written by Jenna Smith

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

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

Pastors Should Be More Involved in Politics, Not Less

Written by Robert Knight

Before 1954, pastors, priests and rabbis could openly endorse political parties or candidates.

Then came the Johnson Amendment, named for Lyndon Baines Johnson, then an U.S. Senator from Texas who tweaked the IRS code. Suddenly, tax-exempt nonprofits were barred from “participating or intervening in any political campaign on behalf of (or in opposition to) any candidate for public office.” The “opposition to” phrase was added in 1986.

A ruthless political strategist before and during his presidency, Johnson engineered this coup after two Texas nonprofit groups had supported his Senate primary opponent.… Continue Reading

From Iran’s Comeuppance to NYC’s Primary, Democrats Are Flailing

Written by Robert Knight

Iran’s nuclear enrichment facilities were not the only things going up in smoke last week, courtesy of American bombers sent by President Trump.

The Democratic Party’s recent attempts to appear worthy of national leadership also were blown to smithereens. Many prominent party figures have foolishly assailed the successful raid.

U.S. Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez actually tried to launch an impeachment inquiry after Mr. Trump did the world a favor and declawed one of the world’s most dangerous regimes.… Continue Reading
