<p>A conspiracy theory is something “that explains an event or set of circumstances as the result of a secret plot by usually powerful conspirators,” according to Merriam-Webster.</p>
<p>One of those theories is coming true before our eyes with the release of newly unclassified documents by Director of National Intelligence <strong>Tulsi Gabbard</strong>.</p>
<p>These documents reveal a secret plot by the Obama administration to falsely frame President Trump as colluding with Russia to fix the 2016 election.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2025/07/daring-to-call-out-obama-officials-treasonous-conspiracy/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[<p><em>Written by Robert Knight</em></p>
<p>President <strong>Donald Trump</strong> is in a public wrestling match with Chief Justice <strong>John Roberts</strong> and some of the federal judiciary.</p>
<p>Along with congressional lawmakers, Mr. Trump has called for impeaching several U.S. district judges who have issued orders blocking his administration from carrying out key policies.</p>
<p>Mr. Roberts says this imperils the independence of the judiciary, without which abuses of power could become routine.</p>
<p>Mr. Trump says that this is nonsense, that these judges have gone well beyond their authority to hear cases and are trying to dictate national policy.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2025/03/unelected-judges-trying-to-diminish-trumps-executive-weight/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[<p><em>Written by Robert Knight</em></p>
<p>The U.S. Supreme Court works in strange and mysterious ways.</p>
<p>It can enrage the progressive left with a solidly constitutional ruling like <em>Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization</em> (2022), which overturned <em>Roe v. Wade</em> and sent the issue of abortion to the states.</p>
<p>But it can also amaze and frustrate conservatives, as when it refused before and after the 2020 election to review Pennsylvania officials’ unconstitutional changes to election procedures.</p>
<p>“We failed to settle this dispute before the election and thus provide clear rules.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2024/07/scotus-missed-opportunity-to-uphold-freedom-of-speech/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p dir="ltr">Judging by the unhinged reaction this past week to the first public meeting of President Trump’s blue-ribbon voter fraud panel, progressives are terrified.</p>
<p dir="ltr">They’re fearful that these election experts are actually going to do the job they’ve been given – uncovering the extent to which the nation’s voter rolls are vulnerable to fraudulent activity. How else to explain the panic and shots fired before the commission even met?</p>
<p dir="ltr">“This is such a threat to democracy, this commission, this voter suppression commission,” huffed MSNBC analyst and Daily Beast columnist <strong>Jonathan Alter</strong> on MTP Daily (Meet the Press Daily).&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2017/07/vote-fraud-panel-frightens-the-left/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>A conservative legal organization has uncovered that Virginia election officials removed thousands of voters between 2011 and May 2017.</p>
<p>In a <a href="https://publicinterestlegal.org/files/Alien-Invasion-II-FINAL.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">report</a> released Tuesday, the Public Interest Legal Foundation, a conservative legal group, found 5,556 voters were removed because they were noncitizens and that <a href="https://publicinterestlegal.org/blog/report-5500-noncitizens-discovered-voter-rolls-virginia/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">one-third</a> of the removed citizens voted illegally.</p>
<p><strong>Hans von Spakovsky</strong>, a senior research fellow at The Heritage Foundation and a board member of the Public Interest Legal Foundation, told <em>The Daily Signal</em> in an email that the findings of the report are alarming.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2017/06/report-finds-thousands-of-non-citizens-were-on-voter-rolls-in-virginia/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p><em>Written by Robert Knight</em></p>
<p>It looks like <strong>Hillary Clinton</strong> will finish with slightly more popular votes than President-elect <strong>Donald Trump</strong>, who won a clear majority of Electoral votes [two weeks ago].</p>
<p>Predictably, Democrats are clamoring to abolish the Electoral College, which the Founders created as part of the separation of powers and a hedge against mob rule.</p>
<p>Big states with large cities dominated by Democrats are disadvantaged by the winner-take-all rules, the Dems argue. California, New York and Illinois went big for Mrs.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2016/11/dump-lax-election-enforcement-not-electoral-college/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>
