Who Are The Democratic Socialists of America?

Written by David E. Smith

As our nation continues commemorating its 250th anniversary, a profound ideological battle is unfolding over America’s future. At the center of this effort to fundamentally transform the nation is the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA). Once considered a fringe movement, the DSA is rapidly expanding—especially in deep-blue cities and among younger Americans—as it builds significant political influence within the Democratic Party.

According to a report by NewsBusters, the DSA announced on July 4, 2026, that its membership has surpassed 120,000.… Continue Reading

Written by David E. Smith

More Government, More Taxes, Less Relief for Illinois Families

Written by David E. Smith

Illinois families struggling with high property taxes, rising energy bills, and the increasing cost of living will receive little relief from Springfield’s newest spending plan.

In the early morning hours before adjournment — hours after the official end of regular session — Illinois Democrats passed Governor JB Pritzker’s largest budget yet: a massive $56 billion spending plan that continues the state’s trend of growing government while requiring taxpayers to pay even more.… Continue Reading

SCOTUS Redistricting Ruling Sparks Pushback from Pritzker

Written by David E. Smith

Governor JB Pritzker sharply criticized the U.S. Supreme Court’s recent ruling on race-based redistricting, calling it “an attack on a crown jewel of our democracy.”

The Court ruled 6–3 that Louisiana’s addition of a second majority-black congressional district constituted an unconstitutional racial gerrymander. The decision is expected to narrow how the Voting Rights Act is applied moving forward—particularly in cases involving race-based districting.

Speaking to Chicago media, Pritzker said,

“Illinois is the proud home of having sent more black members of Congress to Washington than any other state in the country.

Illinois Democrats Push Redistricting. Again.

Rigging the Map 

On Monday, April 20, Illinois House Speaker Chris Welch filed House Joint Resolution Constitutional Amendment 28 (HJRCA 28), a proposal to amend the state constitution and redefine how legislative and congressional districts are drawn.

After suspending the rules to fast-track this legislation, House Democrats moved the measure out of committee on a partisan vote. It was quickly moved to the House floor where the Democrats voted 74 to 38 to pass it.… Continue Reading

Tell Your Lawmakers We Need Gas Tax Relief

Written by David E. Smith

Illinois families are constantly being squeezed by state lawmakers, and this is especially true at the gas pump.

State Representatives Regan Deering (R-Decatur), C.D. Davidsmeyer (R-Jacksonville), and Ryan Spain (R-Peoria) are calling for immediate relief through House Bill 5738, which would suspend the state’s sales tax on gasoline for six months. At current prices, that would mean roughly 20 cents per gallon back in the pockets of Illinois families.

As gasoline prices climb above $4.00 per gallon in many parts of the state, Illinois drivers are paying not only for global energy pressures, but for one of the highest gas tax burdens in the nation.… Continue Reading

Crazed Dems Want the 25th Amendment Invoked

Written by David E. Smith

Governor JB Pritzker is once again making headlines—this time calling for President Donald Trump to be removed from office under the 25th Amendment. His justification? The strong language Trump has used toward the Shiite (Shai) Islamist regime governing the Islamic Republic of Iran.

Pritzker has publicly questioned the president’s mental fitness, labeling his rhetoric “dangerous” and calling him a “deranged madman,” adding, “It’s past time. The 25th Amendment must be invoked.”… Continue Reading

Without the Right to Life, No Other Rights Matter

Written by David E. Smith

The Declaration of Independence emphatically affirms that all human beings are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, the first of which is the right to life.

The Bill of Rights reinforces this principle. The Fifth Amendment states that no person shall “be deprived of life, liberty, or property without due process of law” — explicitly protecting the right to life within the legal framework of the United States.

The Fourteenth Amendment extends this protection further, declaring that no state shall “deprive any person of life, liberty, or property without due process of law.”… Continue Reading
