One big word worth learning is “schadenfreude.”
Schadenfreude is “pleasure derived by someone from another person’s misfortune.”
Nothing better captures the perverse pleasure that Democrats are deriving from the pain inflicted on our country caused by the government shutdown.
Democrats precipitated this shutdown to force Republicans to back off efforts to turn around our suicidal growth of government spending and debt.
House Republicans passed a continuing resolution ready for the president’s signature to fund the government, but Democrats said no.… Continue Reading

Comments Off on Why Democrats Are Rooting for the Shutdown
Written by Tim Graham
If the national media can be counted on to spin anything dramatically toward the Democrats, it’s a government shutdown. They feel passionately that the Democrats are the Party of Government, and the Republicans are the Haters of Government, so who naturally favors shutting it all down?
Even before the shutdown occurred, NPR and PBS issued their poll warning Republicans would get more of the blame than Democrats. That’s why those partisan hacks deserved defunding.… Continue Reading

Comments Off on Shutdown Spin: How the Media Always Blames Republicans
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

Comments Off on The Reckless Misuse of the Word “Nazi” to Describe Donald Trump
Written by Robert Knight
Imagine working at a large company like Exxon Mobil and being told that an audit was underway. Managers would be busy justifying spending and personnel and how they were enabling the company to prosper.
If the auditor found that someone had deliberately hidden or misclassified expenditures for personal gain or ideological reasons, company lawyers would not call it merely “waste” or “mismanagement.”
They would call it “theft” or perhaps “embezzlement,” and they would call the authorities.… Continue Reading

Comments Off on Musk’s Money Sleuths Making Democrats Sweat
Written by Robert Knight
Democrats are circling the wagons, warning that President Trump and fellow Republicans are out for “revenge.” They are counting on the media to misrepresent any attempts at accountability and justice.
People need to be held responsible for the Biden administration’s lawlessness, especially for the bald-faced deception over President Biden’s mental decline. Somebody other than Mr. Biden has been running the country into the ditch for the past four years, and Americans deserve to know who it was.… Continue Reading

Comments Off on Democrats and the Liberal Media’s Grand Deception Merits Justice, Not Vengeance
Written by David E. Smith
The corporate media will not tell you this, but as a resident of Illinois, you need to know that during the 103rd General Assembly (2023-2024), more than 9,800 bills were filed during this legislative session. Thus far, Governor JB Pritzker has signed 1,057 of these bills into law. And since the session isn’t officially through until January 8, 2025, that number may yet grow.
On New Year’s Day, 293 of those laws will take effect.… Continue Reading

Comments Off on Big Government in Illinois Is Growing
Written by Robert Knight
For months, it’s been clear that people on either side are terrified that the opposing presidential candidate will win.
Democrats have doubled down on their assertion that Donald Trump is a fascist or even a Nazi dictator in waiting. They warn of the end of democracy should he win.
Republicans fear that Kamala Harris will push a Marxist agenda and create a one-party state by removing election safeguards such as voter ID while continuing to facilitate the illegal invasion of millions of aliens.… Continue Reading

Comments Off on This Election Is Far More Consequential Than It Should Be
Written by Brandon Myers
Though some foolish, uniformed, and lazy voices would claim otherwise, there is little to no moral equivalency between the platforms and positions of the left and the right.
The Democrats and the Republicans are at odds with one another on a number of vital issues.
The Democrats are a proud, death-cult political party that celebrates what God hates.
As Dr. Andrew Walker notes, the Democratic platform, written by their key leaders, is the most radical platform in U.S.… Continue Reading

“Operation Swing State” is in full gear for the upcoming general election on November 5th.
The goal of this operation? To convert as many people as possible to the pro-child sacrifice side not only in Illinois but also in key swing states like Wisconsin.
NPR Illinois recently covered the work of this operation:
“On a hot sunny day in September, Elizabeth Posner and Mark Steen, two volunteers from Illinois, drove around the politically purplish city of Racine, Wis.,

Comments Off on Illinois Democrats are Bloodthirsty for Child Sacrifice
Written by Dr. Everett Piper
It’s hurricane season, and as predictable as the sunrise, the Gaia worshippers on the political left prove that they just can’t help themselves. They are brainwashed and incapable of rational thought.
Vice President Kamala Harris and her lemmings in the mainstream media are running around like Chicken Little, screaming: “Climate change! Climate change! We only have 10 years to save the planet!”
Is any of this hysteria justified? Well, let’s follow the advice of those who fancy themselves our intellectual superiors — those who call the good people of heartland America mindless rubes and a basket of deplorables — and move beyond the emotions and the politics and “trust the science.”… Continue Reading
