<p>Polls show that voters are not thrilled at the prospect of a Trump vs. Biden rerun in the 2024 presidential election. That makes the idea of a fresh third-party candidate more interesting. One might think the media would enjoy a curveball, but there&#8217;s one big problem: Democrats think a third-party ticket would sink President <strong>Joe Biden</strong>.</p>

<p>Everyone should be deeply troubled by the recent report that the Army is on pace to miss its recruiting goal by dozens of thousands of troops and by the report that followed a few days later, alleging that the Border Patrol is running short of agents in Arizona and Texas. The border is so porous these days that even mayors of sanctuary cities are starting to complain about illegal immigration.</p>
<p>So, what is Congress doing about these crises?&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2022/08/biden-puts-irs-funding-ahead-of-military-and-border-security/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>The U.S. Supreme Court decision of <em>Dodd v. Jackson Women&#8217;s Health Organization</em>, which overturned <em>Roe v. Wade</em>, is a victory for all who support life. The decision ends federal protection of abortion and sends the subject back to individual states to determine how and if abortion will be allowed in the state. It is estimated that at least 26 states will have strong restrictions or bans on abortion. While it indeed should be celebrated, conservatives should not let our guard down; the war for the pro-life community wages on.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2022/07/the-fight-over-abortion-continues/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>That would include <strong>Joe Manchin</strong>. The senator from West Virginia has stood in the gap against some of the Democrats’ worst schemes like “Build Back Better.”&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2022/04/romney-murkowski-and-collins-weak-kneed-republicans/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>In the name of “democracy,” Democrats want to get rid of our current system of government.</p>
<p>That’s no small thing, given that the Constitution has held up for 240 years — longer than any other. The founders’ design of a federal republic with representative decision-making and checks and balances has ensured unparalleled freedom and prosperity, unlike “democratic people’s” regimes worldwide.</p>
<p>Some liberals are so angry at U.S. Senator <strong>Joe Manchin</strong>, West Virginia Democrat, for capsizing Joe Biden’s $5 trillion socialist Build Back Better bill that they want to do away with the U.S.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2021/12/the-dark-side-of-the-lefts-tyrannical-democracy/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>Watch out whenever a politician says, “I’m a devout Catholic, but…” Whatever follows the “but” shows where their true allegiance lies. So it is with President <strong>Joe Biden</strong> and U.S. House Speaker <strong>Nancy Pelosi</strong>, who are out of step with their Church’s teaching. Both have expressed a desire to see abortion rights extended, even up to the moment of birth—which is infanticide.</p>
<p>Now they even want to repeal the Hyde Amendment, a 40-year old congressional measure that blocks federal funding for abortions.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2021/07/saving-our-national-hyde/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>A lot has changed since President <strong>Franklin Roosevelt</strong> tried to rig the U.S. Supreme Court in 1937, but some things stay the same—like widespread opposition to court-packing among <em>both</em> political parties.</p>
<p>When President Roosevelt tried to increase the number of U.S. Supreme Court justices to advance his New Deal agenda in the late 1930s, his own party was key in stopping him. Despite FDR’s overall popularity, Congress—and the American people—recognized that his court-packing plan was a “bonehead idea,” to use <strong>Joe Biden</strong>’s term from 1983.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2021/05/u-s-senator-manchin-and-growing-number-of-democrats-express-opposition-to-court-packing/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>
