What happens when you let career violent criminals out on little or no bail with no fear of punishment for violating their terms of release? In a dystopian hell like Chicago, that means an individual released after being charged with punching a woman in the face and kicking a cop in the groin will be rearrested for … punching a woman in the face and kicking a cop in the groin. Oh, and another sex offender released on charges of molesting multiple women will be rearrested for … molesting another woman!

A potential shift in control of the Illinois Supreme Court has the attention of many suburban voters and political organizations. The Illinois Supreme Court has seven total seats, and Democrats have long held a 4-3 majority on the court. There are two races for Illinois Supreme Court this year, in District 2 and in District 3. Who wins will determine which party controls it. It is important to point out that Illinois Supreme Court justices serve 10-year terms and are up for retention votes to win any additional 10-year terms thereafter.
I spent well over 30 years of my career in higher education, and for most of that time, I enjoyed a good debate with my peers. As a conservative, I was often in the minority, but that didn’t impede mutual respect, nor did it hinder friendships. Political differences were stark, but nearly all of them boiled down to disputes over means and not ends. All of us, for example, agreed that child care was a good thing.
Radical cancel culture is one of the most destructive forces in America today. It’s no secret it has infiltrated virtually every sphere of our lives, whether our public schools, colleges, government institutions or corporations. There is an ever-growing number of religious employees and business owners—many whom First Liberty represents and is fighting for—who’ve lost their livelihoods at the hands of this extreme and toxic ideology.
Since the first buses arrived in Chicago from southern-border states in late August, both Illinois Governor JB Pritzker (D) and Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot (D) have been publicly critical, even hinting at a criminal investigation into the actions of southern governors -- in particular, Texas Governor Greg Abbott (R). Abbott's "Operation Lone Star" gained national attention when it started to bus migrants from the Texas-Mexico border to self-declared "sanctuary cities" New York City, then Washington, D.C. and in late August, Chicago.
Unless you were at the Capitol on January 6, federal prosecutors don’t target you for prison for simply possessing marijuana. In fact, in this era of marijuana as the national pastime, you won’t find anyone originally targeted by prosecutors for nothing more than simple possession serving time in prison. So, when Biden makes a grand announcement that he is pardoning all those convicted of simple possession, you know there is more to it than meets the eye.
Our friends at Illinois Policy Institute and Wirepoints have focused on the public sector unions and the tax increases that would be passed on to property owners to pay for this collective bargaining done outside of public view. And if this is not bad enough, Illinois Family Action notes another very real threat of Amendment 1 -- worker classification, and union leaders trying to grow their membership at the expense of converting workers from independent contractors to employees.
The crisis of the southern border is a major issue in the 2022 elections. With the high profile programs of Republican governors of Texas, Arizona and Florida to bus asylum seekers to sanctuary cities like Washington, D.C., New York City, Chicago, and Martha's Vineyard, not a day goes by when another bus with migrants arrive at a sanctuary city from one of the governors.
In September 1938, Neville Chamberlain returned from the Munich Conference, declaring “Peace for our time.” Appeasement was the official name given to the British prime minister’s response to German aggression.
The government can deny you entry into every public university in New York state for not injecting a private novel product into your body or covering your breathing holes all day with a dirty mask. And now, the government can force a private Jewish college to not only accept you but accept a union dedicated to promoting homosexuality and every other sexual behavior codified by the ever-evolving alphabet soup of Sodom and Gomorrah.
The Elephant Party seems to be counting on President Biden’s awful performance and a reeling economy to generate a congressional reset.
Maybe. But experience has taught us that you can’t beat something with nothing, even if that something is flat-out horrific, like Mr. Biden’s “Mein Kampf” moment in Philadelphia.
