<p>There have been a lot of laughs at <strong>President Joseph R. Biden’s</strong> expense since his disastrous debate with former <strong>President Trump</strong> on Thursday, June 28.</p>
<p>Democrats have been in a state of panic since then.</p>
<p><em>USA Today</em> on June 30 <a href="https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/elections/2024/06/30/poll-biden-mental-age-debate/74262195007/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a> the shocking results of a CBS/You Gov National Survey in which 72% of voters –  as well as nearly half of his party – said they do not believe Biden has the mental or cognitive capacity to serve as president.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2024/07/this-political-moment-is-no-laughing-matter/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[<p><em>Written by Alyssa Sonnenburg</em></p>
<p>Since the reversal of <em>Roe v. Wade</em> in June of 2022, the pro-life issue has become more important than ever before.</p>
<p>With the Republican National Convention coming up on July 15<sup>th</sup> in Milwaukee, Students for Life Action (SFLAction) understands this crucial moment and is demanding that the Republican Party (Grand Old Party, GOP) maintain its pro-life stance.</p>
<p>While the GOP has been dedicated to the pro-life cause for decades, there are some Republicans (Republicans In Name Only, RINOs) that stand as a hindrance to the pro-life mission.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2024/07/students-for-life-action-demands-gop-remain-pro-life/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>Imagine how amazing things could have been had we woken up last Wednesday morning with Republicans winning 54 seats in the Senate and 250 seats in the House. We’d be off to the promised land, right? Wrong! Actually, from a policy perspective, we’d be in the same place we are today, sans the much-needed introspection that is taking place deep in the souls of conservative politicos – an introspection we’ve needed for decades.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2022/11/the-problem-with-the-republican-party-is-the-republican-party/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p><em>Written by Ben Shapiro</em></p>
<p>On Monday, linguistics professor-turned-crappy socialist political commentator <strong>Noam Chomsky</strong> called the Republican Party “the most dangerous organization in world history.” Chomsky continued by explaining why this was <em>no </em>exaggeration:</p>
<blockquote><p>The last phrase may seem outlandish, even outrageous. But is it? The facts suggest otherwise. The party is dedicated to racing as rapidly as possible to destruction of organized human life. There is no historical precedent for such a stand.</p></blockquote>
<p>Of course, Chomsky is talking about Trump’s opposition to using the federal government to crack down on the fossil fuel industry in order to curb supposed man-made global warming.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2016/11/wild-leftist-chomsky-gop-the-most-dangerous-organization-in-world-history/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>On this week&#8217;s podcast:  <strong>Ed Ronkowski</strong> once again joins Monte Larrick and Dave Smith to shed some light on pressing questions about marijuana and its legal status. Mr. Ronkowski dispels the common misunderstanding that marijuana crowds prisons, and the panel discusses the idea marijuana is “not that bad,” whether medicinal marijuana is an acceptable medical option, and how Illinois is currently facing the marijuana question.</p>

<p class="selectionShareable"><em>Written by Billy Davis and Steve Jordahl</em></p>
<p class="selectionShareable">A variety of advocates for conservative causes are watching closely as the Republican Party completes a draft of its official party platform.</p>
<p class="selectionShareable">Platform committee members met Monday and Tuesday in Cleveland to finalize the party&#8217;s stance on immigration, military readiness, and other issues that will be put before convention delegates for a final vote.</p>
<p class="selectionShareable">Many of the debated topics were hot-button social issues, including abortion and traditional marriage.</p>

<p>Dear Trump supporters:</p>
<p>America hears you.</p>
<p>You are angry with the gridlock caused by the petty bickering of professional politicians more interested in being lackeys to lobbyists and other big-money donors than in improving the lives of average wage-earning Americans. Money, jobs and opportunities <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonk/wp/2016/01/27/what-really-separates-trump-supporters-from-other-republicans/">seem</a> to flow upstream to those who already have everything, rather than downstream to those most in need. Truly, this is how <em><a href="http://ropercenter.cornell.edu/public-attitudes-wealth-taxes/">most</a></em> Americans feel.</p>
<p>The question for this election is: Which candidate will actually do something about it?&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2016/02/dear-trump-supporters-hear-me-out-before-you-vote-yours-kareem-abdul-jabbar/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p><em>Written by David E. Smith</em></p>
<p>At a National Press Club event in Washington D.C. on Thrusday, Louisiana Governor and GOP presidential candidate <strong>Bobby Jindal</strong> took on billionaire and GOP presidential front-runner <strong>Donald Trump</strong>.</p>
<p>Gov. Jindal began his statements saying, &#8220;I want to say what everyone is thinking about Donald Trump but is afraid to say.&#8221;  Jindal went on to say, &#8220;He is shallow, there is no substance. He doesn&#8217;t know anything about policy, he has no idea what he is talking about.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2015/09/gov-bobby-jindal-accurately-describes-donald-trump/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p><em>Written by Michael Medved</em></p>
<p>In the GOP debate, <strong>Donald Trump</strong> said he couldn’t commit to support the ultimate nominee, and refused to rule out a third party run, but he never faced the obvious follow-up question. If he really cares about the conservative principles he now espouses, why wouldn’t he promise to support the Republican nominee?</p>
<p>Does he think that there is any chance that <strong>Hillary Clinton</strong> would come closer to representing a conservative agenda than any conceivable GOP candidate?&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2015/08/the-question-trump-cant-answer/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p><em>Written by Hunter Schwarz</em></p>
<p>Has Donald Trump ever been wrong about anything? (Also, does he ever cry? Has he ever had self-doubt? Has he ever lay in bed awake at night crippled with anxiety?)</p>
<p>Perhaps no presidential candidate has the self-confidence he does, even in the face of some glaring flip-flops on his political positions. Where lesser candidates would dodge questions about why they&#8217;ve changed their mind or give a focus-group-tested line about how they evolved, Trump doesn&#8217;t admit to ever having a different opinion.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2015/07/the-many-ways-in-which-donald-trump-was-once-a-liberals-liberal/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>We all know the famous Republican <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2015/06/14/jeb-bush-campaign-logo_n_7579494.html">Jeb!</a> (as his campaign seems eager to avoid use of his last name and believes an exclamation point will get people excited about him, I’ll indulge that wish) who is now an immediate heavyweight in the Republican primary after his long-expected announcement for president.</p>
<p>But don’t let the R that often makes its way in front of his name fool you.  Jeb! loves lots of things that Democrats and big government progressives love.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2015/06/at-his-own-peril-jeb-spurns-conservatives-on-education-and-immigration/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p><em>Written by John Biver</em></p>
<p>If you’re to the right politically, aghast at what the Obama Administration is doing, and frustrated with the gross ineffectiveness of elected and non-elected Republicans who haven’t been using the power at their disposal, you’re a member of a growing club.</p>
<p>Like a lot of clubs, though, this one is, as of yet, still mostly consisting of complainers and protesters instead of people involved in constructive political action. Sure, there are many conservatives volunteering time and donating money to elect better people.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2015/01/a-political-party-in-name-only/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>
