Illinois Freedom Caucus: “Cut the Waste & Bloat”

Written by David E. Smith

Illinois lawmakers are actively shaping the state’s Fiscal Year 2026 budget as the May 31st legislative deadline approaches. Governor JB Pritzker has proposed a budget of $55.45 billion – an increase of $2.35 billion over last year, but final numbers are still under negotiation.

On May 13, 2025, Republican members of the Illinois House of Representatives held a press conference, urging substantial budget reductions. They claimed over $1 billion in wasteful spending, fraud, and abuse could be eliminated to save citizens from new or increased tax proposals.… Continue Reading

Left-Wing Couric and Anti-MAGA Kinzinger

Written by Peter Heck

Apparently Katie Couric, the left-wing activist and former Today Show host still has an online program where she conducts interviews and produces progressive news content. Who knew?

Demonstrating her illustrious flare for originality and creativity, the topic of Couric’s most recent episode was how awful Donald Trump is for America. Drawing from a deep well of self-proclaimed conservative Republicans who decided the best way to conserve conservatism and fight for conservative values was to raise money for Democrats and help them gain power, Couric brought on former U.S.… Continue Reading

Democrats Can’t Seem To Give Up The Transgender Madness

Written by Robert Knight

You may have heard by now that Loudoun County, Virginia, school officials are at it again.

In May 2021, they covered up a girl’s rape in a high school restroom by a boy wearing a skirt and sent him to another high school, where he assaulted another girl.

The first girl’s dad was thrown to the floor, handcuffed and arrested when he refused to shut up about it at a school board meeting.… Continue Reading

MAGA Doesn’t Need More RINOs

Written by Dr. Everett Piper

Last week, the U.S. Supreme Court heard the case of St. Isidore v. Drummond, whereby Oklahoma’s attorney general, Gentner Drummond, is suing to deny Oklahoma parents the right to choose to send their children to a board-approved charter school with a 100% graduation rate and 98% of its students matriculating to college.

In a state where traditional public schools are ranked among some of the worst in the nation, why would Mr. … Continue Reading

Pritzker Calls for “Summer of Love” 2.0?

100 Days In: Major Progress Securing the Border

Written by David E. Smith

This week, the White House celebrates the first 100 days of Donald Trump‘s second term as POTUS by focusing on the progress that has been made securing the border. In fact, the lawn outside the White House was lined with posters of 100 of the “worst illegal immigrant criminals” arrested under the new administration, including rapists, murderers, and criminals who attacked children.

At the Monday morning press briefing, Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt was joined by Border Czar Tom Homan to report on the significant progress that has been made during this time period.… Continue Reading

Selective Due Process Concerns Exposes Media’s Hypocrisy

Written by Robert Knight

For the past couple of weeks, aside from bashing President Trump over tariffs, the media have been fixated on an illegal immigrant deported to El Salvador.

Kilmar Abrego Garcia, who had been living in Maryland, is reputedly a member of the MS-13 gang, a U.S. government-designated foreign terrorist organization. He was summarily shipped off to his home country. Cue the outrage.

The Democratic Party and the media, in lockstep, have made this the case of the century.… Continue Reading

The Left Wants To Remake America In Its Own Image

Written by Robert Knight

Colorado and Vermont are unusually beautiful states renowned for scenery, skiing and, in Vermont’s case, cheese and ice cream.

These Democratic-dominated enclaves also attract weird and destructive people who somehow find their way into power. California does not have a monopoly on this.

How else to explain their ongoing war on free speech, common sense and Christianity? Colorado, which was slapped down by the U.S. Supreme Court for persecuting Christian cake baker Jack Phillips, went after him again before the state Supreme Court finally ruled in his favor.… Continue Reading

Urge Congress to Pass The Dismantle DEI Act

Written by David E. Smith

The “Dismantle DEI Act,” introduced by U.S. Representative Michael Cloud (R-TX) and U.S. Senator Eric Schmitt (R-MO), aims to eliminate all federal Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) programs and funding.

This legislation complements President Trump’s Executive Order issued on January 20th, and would codify into federal law President Trump’s agenda dismantling DEI programs across the federal government. This legislation ensures that Trump’s actions are permanently enshrined in law, preventing future administrations from reviving these divisive and wasteful policies.… Continue Reading

Public Trust in Media Dies in ‘Groupthink’

Written by Tim Graham

Journalists are terrible at hiding their desire to run our democracy, using their platforms to direct history to the “right side.” That badly disguised lust for power creates an audience problem, where the people resent the media’s imperious lectures about which side they are supposed to favor — and if they don’t, they are uneducated, racist nincompoops.

Axios.com co-founders Jim VandeHei and Mike Allen appeared on the podcast “Honestly with Bari Weiss.”… Continue Reading
