The Big Lie: Pritzker’s Reckless Rhetoric

Written by David E. Smith

Governor JB Pritzker has repeatedly resorted to irresponsible and inflammatory language to demonize President Donald J. Trump, federal law enforcement officials, and Republicans in general. For months, he has engaged in extreme partisan bomb-throwing — in press conferences, on social media, and even at Democratic Party events outside Illinois.

Terms like “Nazi,” “jackbooted thugs,” “tyrant,” and “fascists” aren’t just political insults — they’re rhetorical grenades lobbed to manipulate the press and distort public perception.… Continue Reading

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

The Reckless Misuse of the Word “Nazi” to Describe Donald Trump

Written by Mark Rice, Republican Candidate for U.S. Congress, Illinois 8th District

As an observant Jew and a strong supporter of the State of Israel with family members in bomb shelters, three serving in the IDF, and others who perished in the Holocaust, I find it deeply offensive and historically ignorant when Democrats suffering from Trump Derangement Syndrome compare Donald J. Trump to Adolf Hitler or call him a Nazi.

Let me be clear: Donald Trump is not a Nazi.… Continue Reading

Remembering the Victims of Communism

Written by David E. Smith

What was the most evil regime of the 20th century? Many people instantly picture a crazed Adolf Hitler and his Third Reich rounding up millions of Jewish men, women and children in an attempt to systematically exterminate them. An estimated six million were murdered across German-occupied Europe. That’s truly evil. Yet, if we’re looking at death tallies, consider the human toll inflicted under Communism:

• Sixty million dead in the Soviet Union under Joseph Stalin.

Why We Need to Abolish The Department of Education

Written by Dr. Everett Piper

We all know something is desperately wrong with our society and that the bad behavior we see in our daily news must have a cause. We understand that the juvenile antics we are watching in our nation’s capital did not just spring out of thin air. We intuitively know that the immaturity so pervasive in our communities doesn’t come from a vacuum. Millions of us understand that these childish pouts of adults who should know better have a source and that our government-run schools are the seedbed of our cultural crisis.… Continue Reading

U.S. Senator Ted Cruz on Campus Antisemitism

Written by Peter Heck

[Last] week, the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee hosted a hearing to discuss the alarming rise of coordinated and centrally funded antisemitism on college and university campuses. While it was illuminating and frightening to hear the testimony of several of the witnesses, the highlight had to be this tour de force by Texas U.S. Senator Ted Cruz who, it seems, is not overly impressed with the Hamas-sympathizing Hitler brigades pushing a Holocaust sequel on federally-funded campuses.… Continue Reading

These Vacuous Words Can Mean Anything a Democrat Wants Them to Mean

Written by Dr. Everett Piper

January 6 has come and gone, and we need no longer be confused. Our wise and learned betters in the White House and the media have graciously reminded us that they are the final authority. They determine definitions. They decide what the words we use daily to define our laws, culture and freedoms mean. We no longer need to wonder what our overseers intend when they talk about such things.

Here is a glossary of terms for your convenience.… Continue Reading

How Did We Turn Universities Into Hamas Cheerleaders?

Written by Daniel Horowitz

How did nearly every major college campus turn into the Third Reich overnight, with large gatherings of belligerent rally-goers chanting genocidal slogans against Jews? It didn’t happen overnight. Over a generation, we’ve imported the Muslim world to our college campuses. Not surprisingly, we also imported some of the slogans, chants, and values undergirding it.

Is this what we really need for our civilization?

The ubiquitous pro-Hamas rallies we’ve seen on nearly every major college campus over the past week are not the typical “end the occupation” rallies.… Continue Reading

Voters Must Choose Between Revelation or Revolution This Election Year

Written by Dr. Everett Piper

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.

In addition to having a first-hand account of the ways of Vladimir Lenin, Voegelin also had a front-row seat to the rise of Adolf Hitler.… Continue Reading

Miseducated or Stupid?

Written by Walter E. Williams

A recent Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation survey found that 51 percent of American millennials would rather live in a socialist or communist country than in a capitalist country. Only 42 percent prefer the latter. Twenty-five percent of millennials who know who Vladimir Lenin was view him favorably. Lenin was the first premier of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. Half of millennials have never heard of Communist Mao Zedong, who ruled China from 1949 to 1959 and was responsible for the deaths of 45 million Chinese people.… Continue Reading
