The Clean Face of a Dirty Business

Written by Thomas Hampson

John Adams’s test of character, the Pritzker story J.B. tells, and the history the polished biographies leave out

“Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious People. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.” — John Adams, October 11, 1798 _[1]

John Adams was not advocating a religious test for office. He was arguing that in self-government, our constitution—our laws—cannot replace character. In the same letter, Adams warned that avarice, ambition, revenge, and other passions, if unrestrained by morality and religion, could break even the strongest constitutional restraints.… Continue Reading

Liberty or Tyranny? The Left’s Mask Has Slipped

Written by Robert Knight

The Democratic Party is having an identity crisis. To win elections, it must pose as moderately liberal. It is anything but.

The rise of Muslim/socialist Zohran Mamdani as the Democratic nominee for mayor of America’s largest city shows how far left the party has plunged.

New York City voters may yet reject Mr. Mamdani, but he is favored right now to win in November. That would saddle the Big Apple with a functionally Islamic/communist regime.… Continue Reading

Welfare, Immigration, and the Left’s ‘Free Stuff’ Agenda

Written by Robert Knight

The Democrats’ “free stuff army” has stopped growing, just in time. Maybe.

At some point, if tax eaters outnumber taxpayers, the whole thing will come crashing down.

That is the actual Cloward-Piven Strategy concocted by Marxist academics Richard Cloward and Frances Fox Piven back in 1966. Their hope was that a socialist government would pick up the pieces and destroy capitalism.

Anyway, the border is now secure under President Donald Trump after four years of President Joe Biden’s policies allowing an estimated 6 million to 10 million migrants to enter the United States illegally and get on the dole.… Continue Reading

The IHSA Does Not Care About Your Daughters

Written by Alyssa Sonnenburg

The IHSA (Illinois High School Association) has doubled down on its dedication to allow biological males to compete in girls’  sports.

Not only is IHSA’s decision a violation of President Trump’s February 5 Executive Order, “Keeping Men Out of Women’s Sports,” but it is also a clear indication of one thing:

The IHSA will gladly sacrifice the privacy and safety of your daughters on the altar of radical gender ideology.

Because of the IHSA’s egregious violation of morality and biology, U.S.… Continue Reading

U.S. House Democrats Launch ‘Court Reform Now’ Task Force

Written by Mia Gradick 

As Election Day approaches, the far Left, politicians and some of the most radical groups in America continue their attacks on the U.S. Supreme Court and our judicial system.

U.S. House Democrats recently announced a new “Court Reform Now” task force that will work to advance legislation that would supposedly fix “political activism” at the U.S. Supreme Court.

The representatives say the U.S. Supreme Court has usurped “legislative and executive authority with activist decisions that disregard established precedent in order to achieve political results.”… Continue Reading

Throughout the event, speakers echoed the idea of taking a stand.… Continue Reading

Are We Insane or Standing Fast?

Written by Pastor Calvin Lindstrom

Supposedly, Albert Einstein gave this definition for insanity – doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results. Whether Einstein actually said this or someone else conceived it, it is a profound definition.

Does this definition apply to all situations? What is the context that needs to be considered? Are we as Christian conservatives in Illinois guilty of insanity?

I am going to answer this question in two ways: first in the negative and then in the positive.… Continue Reading
