Repeal the SAFE-T Act: Lock Up Career Criminals

Written by David E. Smith

Illinois’ Soft-on-Crime Policies Are Hurting Innocent People

More and more people are being violently victimized because of the so-called “SAFE-T Act,” rushed through the General Assembly on January 13, 2021, and signed by Governor J.B. Pritzker on February 22, 2021. This massive overhaul of our criminal-justice system passed entirely along party lines — every Democrat voted for it; not a single Republican supported it.

SNAP: Reforming a Broken System

Written by David E. Smith

For years, conservatives have warned that America’s welfare system—especially the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP)—has been riddled with fraud, waste, and abuse. Now, at long last, someone in Washington D.C. is taking the problem seriously. Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins has announced a sweeping overhaul of the nation’s food stamps program, and the changes could not be more timely.

Roughly 43 million Americans—about 12 percent of the population—are enrolled in SNAP.… Continue Reading

The Slope Isn’t Slippery — It’s Inevitable

Written by Peter Heck

Societies like ours don’t jump off ethical cliffs in a single leap. They drift toward them in the name of lofty sounding ideals like autonomy and empathy.

Illinois Senate Bill 1950 is a tragic example of this.

A Not-So-Special Report with Governor Pritzker

Written by David E. Smith

Excuses, Deflection, and Denial

Illinois billionaire Governor JB Pritzker appeared on Fox News’ Special Report with Bret Baier on Thursday, where he blasted the Trump administration’s immigration enforcement in Chicago while downplaying the city’s spiraling crime problem. The two-term Democratic governor also dodged questions about his presidential ambitions, took shots at Trump’s tariff policies, and doubled down on his paranoid claim that U.S. troops could be used to “steal” the next election.… Continue Reading

JB Pritzker’s Gambling Win: Luck, Money Laundering or Bribe?

Written by David E. Smith

In a recent episode of The Matt Walsh Show, the host lays it out plainly: Hunter Biden proved just how easy it is to launder money in America. You don’t have to be clever — just land a no-show job, create a few shell companies with foreign investors, or sell “art” for millions to anonymous buyers.

That’s why questions are swirling around Illinois Governor JB Pritzker’s “lucky streak” in Las Vegas.… Continue Reading

The Big Lie: Pritzker’s Reckless Rhetoric

Written by David E. Smith

Governor JB Pritzker has repeatedly resorted to irresponsible and inflammatory language to demonize President Donald J. Trump, federal law enforcement officials, and Republicans in general. For months, he has engaged in extreme partisan bomb-throwing — in press conferences, on social media, and even at Democratic Party events outside Illinois.

Terms like “Nazi,” “jackbooted thugs,” “tyrant,” and “fascists” aren’t just political insults — they’re rhetorical grenades lobbed to manipulate the press and distort public perception.… Continue Reading

JB Pritzker’s Denial vs. His Own Words

Written by David E. Smith

Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker is facing criticism after denying that he has ever called Republicans “Nazis.” Pressed by a reporter on Monday, Pritzker insisted,

“That is completely false. I have never called Republicans Nazis. That’s what they’d like to say. They’re lying. They’re lying.”

Republican gubernatorial candidate Ted Dabrowski quickly pushed back:

“Gov. Pritzker is not telling the truth. He is denying his own words, words that Illinoisans heard for themselves.”

Will Pritzker Own Up to His Irresponsible Rhetoric?

Written by David E. Smith

In the wake of Charlie Kirk’s horrific public execution, Governor JB Pritzker issued condolences to the Kirk family. He then pivoted to the broader issue of political violence, warning that it is “ratcheting up in this country.” Pointing to recent political killings in Minnesota, he insisted, “It’s got to stop, and I think there are people who are fomenting it in this country.” Of course, Pritzker ultimately laid the blame at the feet of President Donald Trump, saying:

I think the president’s rhetoric often foments it.

Trump, Miller Blast Pritzker as Chicago Violence Spirals

Written by David E. Smith

Chicago endured another bloody Labor Day weekend: eight people killed and 58 shot, including two teenagers. President Donald J. Trump responded by declaring, “Enough is enough… we’re going in,” signaling his willingness to send federal help to restore order in the city.

Trump contrasted Chicago’s spiraling violence with Washington, D.C., which he claimed is now a “safe zone” after federal intervention. “You can walk right down the middle of the street… you’re safe,” he told reporters.… Continue Reading

Gov. JB Pritzker: “There is no Emergency in Chicago…”

Written by David E. Smith

After a weekend of bloodshed—34 shot in Chicago, including a 5-year-old boy killed in his own home—Governor JB Pritzker, flanked by Mayor Brandon Johnson and U.S. Senators Dick Durbin and Tammy Duckworth, had the audacity to declare with straight faces:

“There is no emergency in Chicago that calls for armed military intervention.”

For anyone who lives, works, or grew up in Chicago, the denial is staggering. Over the weekend alone, five people were killed, including the young child in Kenwood and a woman slain in a West Side mass shooting that left five others wounded.… Continue Reading
