In the wake of Thursday’s Presidential Debate between Donald J. Trump and Joe Biden, pundits on both side of the political spectrum agreed that President Biden’s mental acuity, weak voice and stammering and halting answers were alarming. Makes one wonder just who is behind the curtain in the White House making decisions.
Prior to this debate, there may have been some whispers in the wind about replacing Biden as the pro-abortion Democratic nominee, but those whispers are now being spoken loudly by political strategists and analysts on cable TV and news talk radio.… Continue Reading

There is good reason for Americans to be concerned about individuals from Afghanistan coming across our southern border.
When Gen. Michael Kurilla, commander of U.S. Central Command, testified in the U.S. Senate Armed Services Committee on March 7 he issued a warning about ISIS-K, a terrorist group based in Afghanistan.
“[V]arious groups in the Central Region retain the capability and will to target U.S. interests abroad in under six months with little to no warning,” Kurilla said in a written statement to the committee.

Why do so many women, a majority of them, support Joe Biden? Is it because of his abortion stance?
There was a surge of support for him in 2022 after the U.S. Supreme Court’s Roe v Wade decision. Is that the reason? Are women so committed to the “my body, my choice” mantra of the left that they can’t see beyond this issue?
I don’t understand.
It’s not like the U.S.… Continue Reading

Will The GOP Uphold the Sanctity of Human Life?
On March 20, 1854, at a schoolhouse in Ripon, Wisconsin, the Republican Party was established to stop the expansion of slavery into western territories. Six years later, Abraham Lincoln was elected as the first Republican president. After Lincoln, 18 other Republicans have been elected to the office of President of the United States.
Since 1973, the Republican Party has officially opposed abortion in its party platform.… Continue Reading

Forever earnest Brian Stelter tweeted out his late-night appearance on CNN with Abby Phillip.
“MSNBC’s Maddow is right to be thinking aloud about the possible repercussions of a second Trump term,” he typed. “Other media types and political veterans are doing the same thing. What might “retribution” look like? What are the pressure points that Trump could target?”
In a softball email interview with Maddow, CNN’s Oliver Darcy warned about the MAGA crowd:
“… Some of his extremist allies even talking about jailing their fellow Americans.

When the elected Democrat district attorney of Manhattan and his 12 (likely Democrat) Manhattan jurors convicted Donald Trump on artificially inflated felony counts of business accounting, you could count on leftist journalists to try to make it the Most Historic Event Ever.
We’re not even sure it won’t all be reversed on appeal. But “historic” is their word of choice … when they like the result.
In 1999, when Bill Clinton was impeached for lying under oath about sex with an intern named Monica Lewinsky, Geraldo Rivera was furious on the “Today” show:
“It was a spiteful action, an action that they performed absolutely in violation of the framers’ intent.

Written by Daniel Horowitz
Imagine if Republicans were to seize a pivotal moment to engage in a sustained national debate over issues like inflation, crime, national security threats, and the costs associated with Joe Biden’s border policies. No political analyst would suggest that Democrats could withstand such focused scrutiny on top national concerns where a supermajority of voters oppose Biden’s policies.
So, instead of avoiding a budget fight in September, why not confront it head-on?… Continue Reading

Comments Off on A Golden Opportunity to Highlight Biden’s Blunders: September
Written by Larry D. Smith
As many of you know the issue of direct election of the Illinois State Central Committee people has been around for a long time predominantly promoted by a single individual. Though I am always open to new and better ideas, it is unfortunate this ill conceived idea is once again being revisited.
It is a bad, poorly thought through idea.
I called the primary promoter of this concept to give him a fair hearing on something he was clearly passionate about.… Continue Reading

In this week’s Spotlight episode, David Curtin, IFI’s Springfield Lobbyist, gives an update on the Illinois General Assembly.
As it relates to Assisted Suicide in Illinois, David Curtin has a hopeful update:
Assisted Suicide is dead for now. We don’t expect it to come up before the end of May. If it comes up during veto session in the Fall, maybe? If it comes up next year, maybe?
But, we are just ecstatic that IFI listeners registered their opinion on so many bills down here.
