					<description><![CDATA[<p><em><a href="https://illinoisfamily.org/author/?id=21" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Written by David E. Smith</a> </em></p>
<p>On February 26, 2025, the U.S. House Oversight Subcommittee held a hearing on the role of foreign aid and the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) in which it was revealed that American taxpayers were funding our enemies and the enemies of our allies. This news was largely ignored by the drive-by media, and in my opinion, must be better highlighted by center-right sources.</p>
<p>U.S. Representative <strong>Tim Burchett</strong> (R-TN) exposed how the Taliban &#8211; a Sunni Islamist terror group from Afghanistan &#8211; was receiving over <em>$40 million a week</em> in indirect funding through USAID.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2025/03/millions-upon-millions-of-tax-dollars-for-the-taliban/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>What do you call a government that will mask an asymptomatic 2-year-old American but bring in people without measles and polio vaccines from the most disease-ridden countries in middle of a pandemic?</p>
<p>You have to give Australia credit. At least it is consistent about its totalitarian approach to the pandemic. While Australian officials repress their own people, they most certainly don&#8217;t allow foreigners into their country either. America, on the other hand, has now commandeered the bodily integrity of its own citizens under the guise of combatting a pandemic with a vaccine that doesn&#8217;t even work.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2021/09/the-governments-mass-migration-from-disease-ridden-countries-during-a-pandemic-is-quite-revealing/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[<p><em>Written by Robert Knight</em></p>
<p>“Republicans finally have an issue on which they can legitimately criticize President Biden.”</p>
<p>Finally?</p>
<p>Thus wrote “conservative” <em>Washington Post</em> columnist Max Boot about Mr. Biden’s Afghanistan disaster.  This implies that Mr. Boot has only now discovered a chink in Joe’s media-sealed, invisible armor.</p>
<p>Mr. Boot and like-minded elites are a bit disturbed by the Afghanistan debacle. But they are apparently fine with Mr. Biden’s sending gasoline prices soaring and abandoning the defense of our southern border.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2021/09/widening-reality-gap-between-bidens-elites-and-the-working-class-2/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[<p><em>Written by R. Emmett Tyrell</em></p>
<p>Looking back on the contradictory pronunciamentos uttered by President <strong>Joe Biden</strong> so solemnly over the last few months on the subject of Afghanistan, what has struck me is how inane they show him to be. When he was affirming that everything in Kabul, Afghanistan, was hunky-dory or when he was sounding the alarm, he was inane. His statements were vacuous.<span class="column--highlighted-text"> How did this man become president of the United States?</span></p>
<p>Oh, I know he was up against an amazingly weak field of candidates.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2021/08/jimmy-carter-is-redeemed/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p><em>Written by William G. Parrot</em></p>
<p>Against a backdrop of quietly extended military deployments in Afghanistan to preserve a lame-duck legacy, we’re yet again reminded that the rule of law does NOT apply to the ruling class, especially not at Department of State.  With journalism hijacked by 24-hour cable news hysteria, fueled by the cheap melodrama of celebrity-anchor idol worship, dedicated news junkies retreat to CSPAN for facts unblemished by “entertainment.”</p>
<p>Two fatally-flawed national candidates literally stumble towards the most powerful elected office in the world, while global jihad assaults the daily routine of Hometown U.S.A. &#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2016/07/renaissance/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>
