January 20, 2025, marked the 60th Inauguration Ceremony of an American President.
At this Inauguration, President Trump made history by becoming the second President in American history to serve two non-consecutive terms. The other President was Grover Cleveland, who served as America’s twenty-second and twenty-fourth Presidents near the end of the nineteenth century.
Pastor Lorenzo Sewell, of 180 Church in Detroit, Michigan, delivered the concluding benediction at this historic inauguration.… Continue Reading

It’s over. Thank God that is the case, even if he doesn’t know it…
After four of the most predictably bizarre years in the history of the American republic, [we mark] the end of the Joe Biden interlude. I use that term only because I think it’s fair to say that despite all the rhetoric and pretense, all the bombast of a “return to normalcy” that surrounded his campaign and election, the presidency itself was aimless and directionless, amounting to little more than an often-humiliating display of vengeful incompetence.… Continue Reading
Springfield, IL – Despite public comments to the contrary, Illinois House Minority Leader Tony McCombie has telegraphed her unwillingness to heal the fractured Illinois Republican Party by rejecting serious efforts from the Illinois Freedom Caucus to promote party unity.
During a recent exchange, Representative McCombie declared her unwillingness to accommodate or collaborate with this influential conservative wing and has even refused to give the Illinois Freedom Caucus a voice in the decision-making process.
The Illinois Freedom Caucus, which represents a substantial contingent of principled conservatives across the state, champions fiscal responsibility, personal freedom, and accountability in government.… Continue Reading

An Open Letter to Leftist Leaders:
“You need to fix the pain you’ve caused…”
We won. In a big way we won, and there are lessons to be learned in that fact, but I am not going to labor the point now. What I will point out is that there are millions of people who have been profoundly affected by this election cycle and the nation is not merely divided; people are bitterly angry at one another, and worse.… Continue Reading

This special episode of Spotlight features IFI’s David Smith and Monte Larrick as they break down the results of the 2024 election.
Specifically, they will focus on Trump’s policy changes and the state of Illinois– Governor Pritzker’s promise to make Illinois “Trump proof” and how Christians can stay encouraged while living in a very blue state.
“The fact is… the Democratic Party left its base and abandoned middle class workers in America and have embraced and have become the party of college educated elite.”

Last Tuesday felt a lot like 2020, when counting stopped in the wee hours and Democratic nominee Joe Biden pulled miraculously ahead.
By midnight this time, only North Carolina had been called for Republican Donald Trump, and the other six battleground states were too early to call. What? The rest of the country’s vote had pretty much been counted.
Despite the dread, there was a palpable feeling that things would be different, that this election would be, as Mr. … Continue Reading

On Tuesday, we did it. We elected Donald Trump.
A friend sent me a note on social media this past Wednesday morning: “Well, he did it!”
That was all it said: He did it.
Indeed, he did.
On Tuesday night, after months of shaking his fist in the face of big government, Big Pharma and the Beltway oligarchs who were threatening his life, liberty and property, Donald Trump became the president-elect.… Continue Reading

Written by Bill Mulenberg
We have not just witnessed a big renewal in the U.S. political landscape, but a resurrection. Donald J. Trump has comfortably been elected the 47th president of the United States. Counting continues, but at this point he handily overtook the 270 electoral college votes needed to win.
He gave a brief victory speech in Palm Beach at around 2:30am. But Kamala left early and did not say a word to the media or her deflated fans – just like Hillary refused to come out and speak to her supporters in 2016.… Continue Reading
