					<description><![CDATA[<p><em>Written by Dr. Everett Piper</em></p>
<p>For the past two weeks, adulation over Episcopal Bishop <strong>Mariann Budde</strong>’s scolding of President <strong>Donald Trump</strong> and Vice President <strong>JD Vance</strong> has become all the rage for liberal church leaders across the United States and, indeed, around the world.</p>
<p>Here’s just a sampling of what the “Church of Never Trump” has had to say.</p>
<p>The Free Methodist Church Board of Bishops issued an emergency statement echoing the words of Bishop Budde and expressing “deep concern for the very real pain” that members of their community are experiencing.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2025/02/questions-for-bishop-budde-and-the-church-of-never-trump/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>How bad is the situation at the Southwest border?</p>
<p>I attended a hearing Thursday of the U.S. House Subcommittee on National Security, the Border and Foreign Affairs on the consequences of the current &#8220;catch and release&#8221; policies to observe how members of both parties address an issue that troubles American voters.</p>
<p>The situation at the border is so downright scary, <strong>Jessica Vaughan</strong> of the pro-enforcement Center for Immigration Studies testified, that Mexican cartels now are making more money from human trafficking than drug trafficking.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2024/02/there-is-chaos-at-the-border-and-finger-pointing-in-congress/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>According to the far left-leaning news source, NBC News, illegal border crossings exceeded 2.7 million during the 2022 fiscal year. In their <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/immigration/migrant-border-crossings-fiscal-year-2022-topped-276-million-breaking-rcna53517" target="_blank" rel="noopener">report</a>, they claim these waves of immigrants &#8220;were driven in part by increases in the number of Venezuelans, Cubans and Nicaraguans making the trek north.&#8221; Of course that trend continues today and many conservatives believe those numbers are, in reality, much, much higher.</p>
<p>U.S. Representative <strong>Carlos Gimenez</strong> (R-FL) sent <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/gop-rep-gimenez-migrant-traffic-moving-through-panama-heading-us-border" target="_blank" rel="noopener">a video report</a> to Fox News showing &#8220;how migrants are moving to the U.S.-Mexico&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2023/07/open-borders-are-a-top-national-security-threat/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[<p><em>Written by Dr. Everett Piper </em></p>
<p>On Tuesday, Sept. 24, 2019, U.S. House Speaker <a href="https://www.washingtontimes.com/topics/nancy-pelosi/">Nancy Pelosi</a> announced a formal impeachment inquiry of President <a href="https://www.washingtontimes.com/topics/donald-trump/">Donald Trump</a> for allegedly asking the Ukrainian president to investigate <a href="https://www.washingtontimes.com/topics/joe-biden/">Joe Biden</a>. U.S. House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy responded: “Facts be damned. Democrats are insisting this is their moment to impeach President <a href="https://www.washingtontimes.com/topics/donald-trump/">Trump</a>. Speaker <a href="https://www.washingtontimes.com/topics/nancy-pelosi/">Pelosi</a>’s decree changes nothing.”</p>
<p>And, thus, without even intending it, Mr. McCarthy just stumbled into what will be the campaign slogan for the Democratic Party from now until November 2020.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2019/09/denial-of-reality-could-become-a-democratic-campaign-slogan/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[<p><em>Written by Tom Trinko</em></p>
<p>Leftists have a long history of exploiting children to advance the left&#8217;s political agenda.  The most recent case is the left&#8217;s screeching about the fact that when illegals are arrested for trying to sneak into the country, their children are separated from them.</p>
<p>We know that leftists don&#8217;t really care about this because it happened under <strong>Barack Obama</strong>, and they said nothing.  It even happened under <strong>George W. Bush</strong>, and they didn&#8217;t complain about it then, either, even though they hated Bush.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2018/06/the-big-lie-leftists-care-about-children/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>
