<p>The numbers speak for themselves. MSNBC is suffering through a ratings catastrophe as the disillusioned loyalists, who kept believing the network&#8217;s stable of left-wing hosts who continued to promise that Trump was an unelectable Hitler, have walked away.</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
<p lang="en" dir="ltr">Lots of articles on how MSNBC&#39;s audience has completely collapsed &#8212; disappeared &#8212; once Kamala lost and the got disillusioned, but the full extent is shocking.</p>
<p>Their prime-time shows can&#39;t even get 75k people watching in the key demo (18-54).</p></blockquote>&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2024/11/media-know-they-must-change-they-wont/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a>]]></description>

<p>In case you haven’t noticed, America’s religious elites believe you are stupid, and they are pulling out all the stops to tell you so in these last few days before the election.</p>
<p>Just listen to the rhetoric coming from those who call themselves Evangelicals for Harris. People such as <strong>David French</strong> of <em>The New York</em> <em>Times</em>, <strong>Russell Moore</strong> of <em>Christianity Today</em> and even lesser-known second stringers such as <strong>Howard Snyder</strong>, a former professor at Asbury Theological Seminary, don’t even try hiding their disdain for your intelligence.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2024/10/evangelicals-for-harris-think-youre-stupid/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>There is no conservative case to be made for <strong>Kamala Harris</strong>.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #ff6600; font-size: 24pt;"><em><strong>None.</strong></em></span></p>
<p>Obviously, there are many conservatives, particularly Christian conservatives, who are not voting for <strong>Donald Trump</strong> based on conviction and principle. It&#8217;s a position that is, in my estimation, reasonable and legitimate. But all that reason and all that legitimacy immediately flies out the window when such an individual announces intent to cast a vote in favor of a spectacularly unfit, ideologically radical, and morally untethered political party fabrication like the candidacy of Kamala Harris.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2024/10/the-never-trump-movement-has-become-a-spectacle-of-moral-buffoonery/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>Something really started bothering me as I read the <a href="https://notthebee.com/article/babylon-bee-files-lawsuit-against-california-after-state-adopts-new-deepfake-law-targeting-satire-creators" target="_blank" rel="noopener">news</a> that our sister site, <em>The Babylon Bee</em>, was forced into a lawsuit against Governor <strong>Gavin Newsom</strong> and the absurd California legislature for passing an anti-free speech law in their state.</p>
<p>I read that news the same day I saw a &#8220;thread&#8221; post from mega-minister <strong>Ray Ortlund</strong> that stated, &#8220;Never Trump, this time Harris, always Jesus.&#8221; The post was endorsed by Christian writer <strong>David French</strong> who affirmed, &#8220;This is the way.&#8221;&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2024/10/the-left-wing-threat-to-democracy/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>I shouldn’t have done it, but I couldn’t resist.</p>
<p>This week, I got into an exchange on social media with an evangelical pastor who was critical of <strong>Megan Basham</strong>’s new book, “<a href="https://www.christianbook.com/shepherds-evangelical-leaders-traded-leftist-agenda/9780063413443/pd/413447?event=ESRCG" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Shepherds for Sale</a>.” The book is a <em>New York Times</em> bestseller, and it exposes the overt leftward lurch of America’s evangelical denominations, publications, organizations and their leaders, also known as Big Eva.</p>
<p>In her book, Mrs. Basham does an excellent job of following the money and highlighting a fact: Influencers such as <strong>Russell Moore</strong> (editor in chief of <em>Christianity Today</em> magazine) and <strong>David French</strong> (contributing writer for <em>The New York Times</em>) and organizations such as the Council for Christian Colleges and Universities and the Trinity Forum are politically compromised because they are funded or influenced by billionaires such as George Soros who are spending hundreds of millions of dollars to infiltrate the church with pro-abortion politics.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2024/08/americas-evangelical-denominations-lurch-leftward/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>In 2013, author <strong>John S. Dickerson</strong> wrote about the troubling condition of the American church in his book “<a href="https://www.christianbook.com/evangelical-recession-factors-american-church-prepare/john-dickerson/9781441241054/pd/35725EB" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Great Evangelical Recession: 6 Factors That Will Crash the American Church and How to Prepare</a>.”</p>
<p>Mr. Dickerson‘s key premise was that Christian orthodoxy in the United States is in rapid decline. The evidence he presented to support what, at first glance, seems to be a terminal diagnosis is multifaceted.</p>

<p>This past week, as we watched the unfolding stories of illegal immigrants beating police in New York, chaos on our southern border, and the Middle East teetering on the edge of World War III, one of the most insidious bits of news that might have escaped your attention is called “the after party.”</p>
<p>What is this “after party,” you ask? It’s a curriculum funded by Democratic billionaires that “evangelicals” such as <strong>David French</strong> and <strong>Russell Moore</strong> are promoting in churches across the country.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2024/02/are-conservative-christians-too-political-2/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>When it comes to the most significant moral issues of our time, no one should be surprised by immoral actions of modern liberals. You can be saddened, shocked, angry, disgusted, and the like, but you should not be surprised.  This is certainly true when it comes to the issue of even infanticide.</p>
<p>For decades, Democrats have <a href="https://www.trevorgrantthomas.com/2015/07/untermenschen-language-of-death.html">dehumanized the unborn</a> and argued against protecting the most innocent and helpless among us, even when they escaped death in their mothers&#8217; wombs.  &#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2019/02/infanticidal-democrats-took-their-cues-from-barack-obama/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>This week&#8217;s U.S. Supreme Court <a href="https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/17pdf/16-1140_5368.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">decision</a> in <em><a href="http://www.adflegal.org/detailspages/case-details/national-institute-of-family-and-life-advocates-v.-harris" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NIFLA v. Becerra</a> </em>should drive a stake into the heart of an Illinois law that requires pro-life medical professionals to refer patients for medical procedures/services they find morally objectionable such as abortion, sterilization and certain end-of-life care protocols.</p>
<p>This tyrannical legislation (SB 1564) was <a href="https://illinoisfamily.org/life/gov-rauner-kills-conscience-rights-by-signing-killing-sb-1564/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">signed</a> by Republican impostor <strong>Bruce Rauner</strong> and sponsored by Chicago Democrats.

<p>Should schools be focused on providing children with a good education in a safe environment or should they be laboratories of partisan political agitation? The answer, of course, should be obvious. The <a href="http://www.nsba.org/about-us/what-school-boards-do">National School Boards Association</a> states that “education is not a line item in your school board’s budget, it’s the only item.” The principles of “governance and leadership,” such as those articulated by the <a href="https://www.psba.org/">Pennsylvania School Boards Association</a>, make no allowance for focusing on anything other than educating children.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2018/04/ideology-collides-with-good-school-governance/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>On Sunday, the day of the church massacre, cultural commentator <strong>David French</strong> tweeted, “The amount of anti-Christian hate on Twitter the same day Christians were massacred is stunning and chilling.”</p>
<p>If ever there was a time when we might have expected sympathy for Christians, or at least restraint in attacking them, the opposite proved true far too many times. Why?</p>
<p>On Fox News, <strong>Laura Ingraham</strong> <a href="http://insider.foxnews.com/2017/11/06/laura-ingraham-aftermath-texas-church-shooting-shows-hostility-people-faith">noted</a> that some of the reactions to the shooting pointed to “elite hostility to people of faith,” stating that “hostility to faith infects the popular culture.”&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2017/11/why-so-much-hatred-against-christians-in-america-today/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>Social liberals are using the Orlando shooting massacre to ignite a &#8220;war on Christianity,&#8221; according to prominent conservative columnist <strong>David French</strong>.</p>
<p>Last weekend, 29-year-old <strong>Omar Mateen</strong> murdered 49 people at a gay nightclub in Orlando, Florida. During the attack Mateen called 911 and pledged support for the Islamic State terror group.</p>
<p>Despite Mateen&#8217;s stated ideological leanings, some liberal journalists and social commentators are blaming conservative Christians instead, French said in the<a href="http://www.nationalreview.com/article/436670/orlando-shooting-jihadist-terror-liberals-blame-christians" target="_blank"> National Review</a> on Wednesday.</p></div>&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2016/06/david-french-liberals-using-orlando-shooting-to-ignite-war-on-christianity/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a>]]></description>
