State Supreme Court elections often fly under the radar, but the stakes are high. The Court can overturn appellate decisions and usually has the final say on interpreting state law, setting binding precedents for lower courts to follow. As such, David Overstreet's bid for Illinois Supreme Court is perhaps one of the key judicial races in Illinois this election cycle.

Eric Voegelin was born in 1901. In 1919, he enrolled in the University of Vienna. He studied Karl Marx, read “Das Kapital” and embraced Marxism. However, as he watched the Bolshevik Revolution’s bloodlust play itself out in the streets of Russia, Voegelin concluded he was wrong. Therefore, he abandoned socialism and its assumptions of race and class conflict and became a member of the Austrian economics clan.
If a picture is worth a thousand words, the video of a mask-less Nancy Pelosi caught having her hair done at a shut-down San Francisco salon this past week is worth an entire dictionary. The Speaker of the House immediately deployed the Marion Barry defense. Mrs. Pelosi said the same thing, albeit less colorfully. At least, in public.

The hallmark of a first-world country is not that violence never occurs within its borders, but that once it does, the damage is mitigated immediately and the perpetrators are punished and future criminals deterred. Yet here we are, over 80 days into this national insurrection by terrorist groups like Back Lives Matter and Antifa, and there is no end in sight. Trump is president today, not just after November 4. It’s time for him to use his inherent power to put down the insurrection.
I know that there is great skepticism towards political polling because of how they are often used to influence rather than measure public opinion. There is also skepticism because many polls seem to prove themselves inaccurate on Election Day.
However, there is a fascinating new poll that may mean trouble for the Biden/Harris ticket. It has findings that you won’t hear on CNN, MSNBC or the other liberal news networks.

The ongoing merger between the Democratic Party and the fifth column of communist revolutionaries seeking to overthrow America is almost complete, with the bizarre affair finally coming out of the closet amid the 2020 election campaign. In fact, some of America's most hard-core and prominent totalitarian leaders are openly calling on their supporters to vote for Joe Biden and Kamala Harris this November.

After the break, Rev. Ceasar LeFlore encourages us to claim the peace that Jesus promises to His followers and he passionately asks us to consider how the righteous people of God should respond when the foundations of our nation – truth, righteousness, sanctity of life, and family – are being destroyed.
