<p data-start="230" data-end="411">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.</p>
<p data-start="413" data-end="672">The Bill of Rights reinforces this principle. <a href="https://constitution.congress.gov/constitution/amendment-5/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Fifth Amendment</a> states that <span style="color: #0000ff;"><strong>no person shall &#8220;be deprived of life, liberty, or property without due process of law&#8221;</strong></span> — explicitly protecting the right to life within the legal framework of the United States.</p>

<p>The people who call themselves the &#8220;mainstream media&#8221; have a remarkable tendency to take the minority position on an 80-20 issue, most recently on requiring voters to show a photo ID at the polls. U.S. House Republicans have passed the SAVE Act, while Democrats have almost unanimously opposed it.</p>
<p>But the American people do not. Gallup pollsters report 84% of Americans support requiring photo ID to vote — 98% of Republicans, 84% of independents, and 67% of Democrats.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2026/02/jim-crow-or-common-sense-the-medias-war-on-voter-id/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>The multibillion-dollar Somali welfare scandal in Minnesota continues to grow, even as Democrats do their best to tamp it down.</p>
<p>U.S. Representative <strong>Ilhan Omar</strong>, who represents the Twin Cities area and is a naturalized citizen from Somalia, lamented the fraud but said the focus on Somalis was because of bigotry. She wrote a column for <em>The New York Times</em> accusing President Trump of “hate speech” and “racism, xenophobia, Islamophobia and division.”&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2026/01/a-welfare-state-without-borders-is-a-license-to-steal/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[<p><em>Written by Robert Knight</em></p>
<p>We keep being told that both sides of America’s political divide are equally culpable for violent rhetoric and violent acts. It’s a lie.</p>
<p>Virtually all of it comes from the political left. It wasn’t right-wingers who shot President <strong>Donald Trump</strong> and murdered health care executive <strong>Brian Thompson</strong> in New York and conservative activist <strong>Charlie Kirk</strong> in Utah in cold blood.</p>
<p>It wasn’t Young Republicans who attacked a Turning Point USA event on the University of California, Berkeley, campus last week, beating up a TPUSA staffer.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2025/11/why-the-left-gets-a-pass-on-political-violence/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>If the national media can be counted on to spin anything dramatically toward the Democrats, it&#8217;s a government shutdown. They feel passionately that the Democrats are the Party of Government, and the Republicans are the Haters of Government, so who naturally favors shutting it all down?</p>
<p>Even before the shutdown occurred, NPR and PBS issued their poll warning Republicans would get more of the blame than Democrats. That&#8217;s why those partisan hacks deserved defunding.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2025/10/shutdown-spin-how-the-media-always-blames-republicans/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>A conspiracy theory is something “that explains an event or set of circumstances as the result of a secret plot by usually powerful conspirators,” according to Merriam-Webster.</p>
<p>One of those theories is coming true before our eyes with the release of newly unclassified documents by Director of National Intelligence <strong>Tulsi Gabbard</strong>.</p>
<p>These documents reveal a secret plot by the Obama administration to falsely frame President Trump as colluding with Russia to fix the 2016 election.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2025/07/daring-to-call-out-obama-officials-treasonous-conspiracy/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>Before 1954, pastors, priests and rabbis could openly endorse political parties or candidates.</p>
<p>Then came the Johnson Amendment, named for <strong>Lyndon Baines Johnson</strong>, then an U.S. Senator from Texas who tweaked the IRS code. Suddenly, tax-exempt nonprofits were barred from “participating or intervening in any political campaign on behalf of (or in opposition to) any candidate for public office.” The “opposition to” phrase was added in 1986.</p>
<p>A ruthless political strategist before and during his presidency, Johnson engineered this coup after two Texas nonprofit groups had supported his Senate primary opponent.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2025/07/pastors-should-be-more-involved-in-politics-not-less/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p style="font-weight: 400;">The trans agenda has proved a tremendous millstone around the neck of the Democrat Party. Deservedly so! This evil ideology is one of the biggest reasons Democrats find themselves sinking in the political sea that is the American electorate. Currently, the Democrats are <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/video/6371772075112">historically unpopular</a>. As the <a href="https://nypost.com/2025/03/16/us-news/democrats-favorability-craters-to-record-low-poll/"><em>New York Post</em></a> put it [recently], “Democrats have become so unpopular that more Americans believe that aliens are among us than agree with the Democratic Party.”&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2025/05/democrats-are-stuck-with-the-trans-agenda/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>For the past couple of weeks, aside from bashing President Trump over tariffs, the media have been fixated on an illegal immigrant deported to El Salvador.</p>
<p><strong>Kilmar Abrego Garcia</strong>, who had been living in Maryland, is reputedly a member of the MS-13 gang, a U.S. government-designated foreign terrorist organization. He was summarily shipped off to his home country. Cue the outrage.</p>
<p>The Democratic Party and the media, in lockstep, have made this the case of the century.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2025/04/selective-due-process-concerns-exposes-medias-hypocrisy/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>Democrats are circling the wagons, warning that President Trump and fellow Republicans are out for “revenge.” They are counting on the media to misrepresent any attempts at accountability and justice.</p>
<p>People need to be held responsible for the Biden administration’s lawlessness, especially for the bald-faced deception over President Biden’s mental decline. Somebody other than Mr. Biden has been running the country into the ditch for the past four years, and Americans deserve to know who it was.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2025/01/democrats-and-the-liberal-medias-grand-deception-merits-justice-not-vengeance/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[<p><em>Written by Robert Knight</em></p>
<p>President-elect <strong>Donald J. Trump</strong> and Vice President-elect <strong>J.D. Vance</strong> will take over [today], relieving the nation of the Biden administration&#8217;s train wreck.</p>
<p>Even many liberals are breathing a sigh of relief. President Biden and his fellow Democrats have done incredible damage to their party. They have turned it into a clown car full of Marxists, sexual radicals and outright lunatics who are good only at ruining entire cities and states. For reference, see San Francisco’s homeless camps, the Los Angeles fires and the Golden State of California under the rule of Gov.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2025/01/trumps-return-signals-end-to-biden-regimes-train-wreck/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>Don&#8217;t call PolitiFact an &#8220;independent fact-checker.&#8221; When they assemble to select their &#8220;Lie of the Year,&#8221; they have singled out <strong>Donald Trump</strong> in 2015, 2016, 2017, 2019, 2020 and 2021. No Democrat has been tagged with this dishonor since Trump arrived on the scene.</p>
<p>It was Trump again this year, as PolitiFact tweeted: &#8220;A lie marked a town and its residents in the name of campaign rage. It was absurd.

<p>MSNBC claims it was “unaware” that Vice President Kamala Harris’ presidential campaign had donated $500,000 to Al Sharpton’s activist organization just weeks before Sharpton interviewed Harris on the network.</p>
<p>MSNBC isn’t saying what it plans to do about this supposedly shocking revelation, but one employee claims it is raising eyebrows among his co-workers, who consider it a “bridge too far” even for notoriously lax MSNBC.</p>

<p>Want to hear something that may be music to your ears, especially if you were delighted by the results of the Nov. 5 election?</p>
<p>“Anxious gloom grips much of the District.”</p>
<p>That was the take of <em>Washington Post</em> staff writer <strong>Kyle Swenson</strong> in a feature article last Wednesday about a place called Kraken. It’s a “rage room,” a business where customers pay $29.99 to smash things with crowbars, wrenches and baseball bats for 15 minutes of “stress relief.”&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2024/11/second-trump-administration-will-set-things-right/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>The numbers speak for themselves. MSNBC is suffering through a ratings catastrophe as the disillusioned loyalists, who kept believing the network&#8217;s stable of left-wing hosts who continued to promise that Trump was an unelectable Hitler, have walked away.</p>

<p>Last Tuesday felt a lot like 2020, when counting stopped in the wee hours and Democratic nominee Joe Biden pulled miraculously ahead.</p>
<p>By midnight this time, only North Carolina had been called for Republican <strong>Donald Trump</strong>, and the other six battleground states were too early to call. What? The rest of the country’s vote had pretty much been counted.</p>
<p>Despite the dread, there was a palpable feeling that things would be different, that this election would be, as Mr. &#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2024/11/harris-victory-would-have-spawned-a-one-party-central-government/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>We have not just witnessed a big renewal in the U.S. political landscape, but a resurrection. <strong>Donald J. Trump</strong> has comfortably been elected the 47<span style="font-size: 13.3333px;">th</span> president of the United States. Counting continues, but at this point he handily overtook the 270 electoral college votes needed to win.</p>
<p>He gave a brief victory speech in Palm Beach at around 2:30am. But Kamala left early and did not say a word to the media or her deflated fans – just like Hillary refused to come out and speak to her supporters in 2016.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2024/11/thoughts-on-trumps-victory/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>For months, it’s been clear that people on either side are terrified that the opposing presidential candidate will win.</p>
<p>Democrats have doubled down on their assertion that <strong>Donald Trump</strong> is a fascist or even a Nazi dictator in waiting. They warn of the end of democracy should he win.</p>
<p>Republicans fear that <strong>Kamala Harris</strong> will push a Marxist agenda and create a one-party state by removing election safeguards such as voter ID while continuing to facilitate the illegal invasion of millions of aliens.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2024/11/this-election-far-more-consequential-than-it-should-be/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">We&#8217;re in the final days of the election season now. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Maybe you&#8217;ve already voted. Maybe you&#8217;re still trying to decide. Regardless of anything I or anyone else writes to sway you one way or another, I pray God gives you the wisdom to honor Him in good conscience with your ballot. </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">Walk before Him in righteousness. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Yet, I do think that He often uses other human voices to help guide us into wisdom, and I hope I&#8217;m able to contribute a little truth here and there to that end.</span>&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2024/11/can-we-trust-kamala-to-fight-hate/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>Though some foolish, uniformed, and lazy voices would claim otherwise, there is little to no moral equivalency between the platforms and positions of the left and the right.</p>
<p>The Democrats and the Republicans are at odds with one another on a number of vital issues.</p>

					<description><![CDATA[<p><em>Written by Ecce Verum</em></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">A Christian brother recently told me that he was originally planning not to vote in this presidential election. He obviously wasn&#8217;t going to vote for Kamala, and given Trump&#8217;s support for abortion pill access, he couldn&#8217;t bring himself to vote for Trump either. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Abortion is so morally repugnant that he couldn&#8217;t see himself supporting a candidate who supported access to even the pills. For him, abortion was a reason to </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">not</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;"> vote in this election.</span>&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2024/11/will-christians-be-the-reason-kamala-gets-elected/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

As she </span><a href="https://time.com/7018941/dick-cheney-reason-for-endorsing-kamala-harris-over-donald-trump/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">remarked</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> to one audience, </span></p>
<blockquote><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">&#8220;a lot of what I think is happening . . . is that people are exhausted about the division and the attempts to kind of divide us as Americans.&#8221; </span></p></blockquote>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">And, when running against someone as idiosyncratic as Trump, it&#8217;s an obvious—and pretty smart—marketing choice.</span>&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2024/11/is-kamala-weird/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

Mr. Barna says that about 104 million religious people will not bother to vote in this election, and of those, 32 million are theologically defined as born-again Christians.</p>
<p>Why do so many conservative believers plan to sit this one out?</p>

					<description><![CDATA[<p><em>Written by Robert Knight</em></p>
<p>Democratic vice presidential candidate <strong>Tim Walz</strong> has doubled down on his extremist agenda for LGBTQ youth.</p>
<p>The man who, as a teacher, launched a gay-straight alliance group in his school went on to use his power as governor of Minnesota to push the transgender agenda in full force.</p>
<p>He issued an executive order last year and signed a law making Minnesota what the measure’s supporters call a “trans refuge state.”</p>
<p>Critics rightly interpreted this as an anti-parent bill aimed at bringing in minors from other states who request puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones and surgery.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2024/10/divisive-transgender-sleeper-issue-may-cost-democrats-votes/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>It appears that many people are voting for Kamala Harris as a reaction against Donald Trump. Is that you? Some people don’t care for politics and pay little attention to the issues until the election is upon them. Maybe you are one of them.</p>

					<description><![CDATA[<p><em>Written by Robert Knight</em></p>
<p>There is a criminal charge called “aiding and abetting.”</p>
<p>It’s about being an accomplice in committing a crime without being the actual perpetrator.</p>
<p>Think of a getaway car driver after a convenience store shooting. Or congressional, state and local Democrats.</p>
<p>Many Americans believe that allowing millions of aliens, including criminals, drug dealers, sex traffickers and possible terrorists, to enter the U.S. illegally is an act of treason.</p>
<p>The Biden-Harris administration not only reversed policies that had largely controlled the border under former President <strong>Donald Trump</strong>; they offer incentives to enter the country illegally such as free health care.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2024/10/democrats-at-war-with-nature-god-and-american-citizens/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[<p><em>Written by Dr. Everett Piper</em></p>
<p>In case you haven’t noticed, America’s religious elites believe you are stupid, and they are pulling out all the stops to tell you so in these last few days before the election.</p>
<p>Just listen to the rhetoric coming from those who call themselves Evangelicals for Harris. People such as <strong>David French</strong> of <em>The New York</em> <em>Times</em>, <strong>Russell Moore</strong> of <em>Christianity Today</em> and even lesser-known second stringers such as <strong>Howard Snyder</strong>, a former professor at Asbury Theological Seminary, don’t even try hiding their disdain for your intelligence.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2024/10/evangelicals-for-harris-think-youre-stupid/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>There is no conservative case to be made for <strong>Kamala Harris</strong>.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #ff6600; font-size: 24pt;"><em><strong>None.</strong></em></span></p>
<p>Obviously, there are many conservatives, particularly Christian conservatives, who are not voting for <strong>Donald Trump</strong> based on conviction and principle. It&#8217;s a position that is, in my estimation, reasonable and legitimate. But all that reason and all that legitimacy immediately flies out the window when such an individual announces intent to cast a vote in favor of a spectacularly unfit, ideologically radical, and morally untethered political party fabrication like the candidacy of Kamala Harris.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2024/10/the-never-trump-movement-has-become-a-spectacle-of-moral-buffoonery/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>It’s hurricane season, and as predictable as the sunrise, the Gaia worshippers on the political left prove that they just can’t help themselves. They are brainwashed and incapable of rational thought.</p>
<p>Vice President <strong>Kamala Harris</strong> and her lemmings in the mainstream media are running around like Chicken Little, screaming: “Climate change! Climate change! We only have 10 years to save the planet!”</p>
<p>Is any of this hysteria justified? Well, let’s follow the advice of those who fancy themselves our intellectual superiors — those who call the good people of heartland America mindless rubes and a basket of deplorables — and move beyond the emotions and the politics and “trust the science.”&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2024/10/there-is-no-climate-emergency/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>It doesn&#8217;t annoy me that people have disparate opinions on issues that matter, or more specifically, that others would find my own personal opinions ill-informed or wrong. The world might well be a boring place if everyone agreed on everything, so you won&#8217;t find me in the camp of those wishing to eliminate intellectual or ideological diversity.</p>
<p>What <em>does</em> annoy me is when a sizable group of people are willing to suspend intellectual curiosity to the issues that matter, put their fingers in their metaphorical ears, and refuse any modicum of critical thinking when forming and spouting opinions.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2024/10/the-four-most-ignorant-words-in-american-politics/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>A new book by Melania Trump is due to come out [today]. Among other things, the former First Lady discusses her pro-abortion position. In the book she will go into much more detail on this, but in a short video just released she said this about the matter:</p>
<blockquote><p>“Individual freedom is a fundamental principle that I safeguard. Without a doubt there is no room for compromise when it comes to this essential right that all women possess from birth.</p></blockquote>&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2024/10/abortion-melania-and-pro-life-history/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[<p><em>Written by Dr. Everett Piper</em></p>
<p>In [last week&#8217;s] vice presidential debate, U.S. Senator <strong>J.D. Vance</strong> brought up the U.S. Customs and Border Protection app called CBP One. He said:</p>
<blockquote><p>“So, there’s an application called the CBP One app where you can go [and] apply for asylum, or apply for parole, and be granted legal status at the wave of a Kamala Harris open border wand. … That is the facilitation of illegal immigration.”</p></blockquote>
<p>As you can imagine, this statement caused apoplexy among mainstream media fact-checkers.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2024/10/the-cbp-one-app-a-clear-and-present-danger/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>I read that news the same day I saw a &#8220;thread&#8221; post from mega-minister <strong>Ray Ortlund</strong> that stated, &#8220;Never Trump, this time Harris, always Jesus.&#8221; The post was endorsed by Christian writer <strong>David French</strong> who affirmed, &#8220;This is the way.&#8221;&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2024/10/the-left-wing-threat-to-democracy/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[<p><em>Written by Dr. Everett Piper</em></p>
<p>[Last] week, Vice President <strong>Kamala Harris</strong> tweeted, “One does not have to abandon their faith or deeply held beliefs to agree” with her and presumably vote for her in November.</p>
<p>In response to the post, former Indianapolis Colts coach <strong>Tony Dungy</strong> asked the following.</p>
<blockquote><p>“Dear Vice President, I hear you make this statement all the time. Exactly what ’faith’ are you talking about?”</p></blockquote>
<p>He went further:</p>
<blockquote><p>“Are you talking about [the Christian faith] or some nebulous, general ’faith’ …?</p></blockquote>&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2024/10/is-harris-faith-in-god-or-in-government/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a>]]></description>

<p>Showcasing her deep and abiding commitment to the pro-abortion cause, Vice President <strong>Kamala Harris</strong> has <a href="https://www.wpr.org/news/kamala-harris-presidential-campaign-vice-president-housing-affordability-pfas-pollution-wpr-interview" target="_blank" rel="noopener">come out in support</a> of a damaging U.S. Senate rules change. In the future, if Democrats controlled both houses of Congress and the White House, the Vice President’s proposed rule change would likely make it possible to pass a federal law imposing a “right” to abortion on all 50 states.</p>
<p>The United States Senate is sometimes referred to as the world’s greatest deliberative body.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2024/09/kamala-harris-calls-for-rule-change-to-move-pro-abortion-bill/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[<p><em>Written by Ray DiLorenzo</em></p>
<p>In recent years, we have detected that Democrats and Republicans are increasingly finding themselves further apart politically, socially, and spiritually. I don’t find Republicans have taken any major steps away from what they always believed in, God, family, and country.</p>
<p>Democrats, on the other hand, are unrecognizable as to what they were 50 or 60 years ago. Like Republicans, Democrats believed in equality, democracy, a strong military, and were anti-communist.</p>
<p>According to Pew Research, Republicans that are certain or fairly certain that there is a God are at 90%. &#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2024/09/who-democrats-really-are/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>As you know, our choices for the President of the United States (POTUS) are either Vice President <strong>Kamala Harris</strong> or former President <strong>Donald J. Trump</strong>. It is a choice between the continuation of the Biden-Harris Administration or a return to the policies of the Trump Administration.</p>
<p>Under a Harris-Walz administration, we can expect big government mandates that will promote taxpayer funding of unrestricted abortion on-demand, transgenderism (<a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/harris-once-boasted-behind-scenes-work-get-every-trans-inmate-access-gender-surgeries" target="_blank" rel="noopener">even for inmates</a>), housing, food and healthcare for illegal immigrants, and free college tuition and student loans wiped clean.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2024/09/election-2024-president-of-the-united-states-of-america/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>Are you confused by the calls from well-known evangelical leaders like <strong>John Piper</strong> to not vote for <strong>Donald Trump</strong> in November? Everyone but God makes mistakes, but I believe that to boycott Trump because he does not measure up to evangelical standards is a mistake with potentially catastrophic consequences.</p>
<p>If you witness a little child, without a floatation device, falling into a swimming pool you don’t need to wait for the Spirit to prompt you to go in after him!&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2024/09/can-a-christian-vote-for-trump-must-a-christian-vote-for-trump/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>Sometimes, particularly in the toxic world of social media, it&#8217;s difficult to know whether people are being honest and earnest in their questions or whether they&#8217;re trying to make a statement.</p>
<p>Usually, after a modicum of research it becomes apparent, as was the case with the recent query posted by online anti-Trump activist <strong>John Collins</strong>:</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
<p lang="en" dir="ltr">Can someone explain to me why any woman would vote Republican at this point?</p>
<p>&#8212; John Collins (@Logically_JC) <a href="https://twitter.com/Logically_JC/status/1834186361760252261?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">September 12, 2024</a></p></blockquote>
<p><script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p>
<p>I know that&#8217;s an attempted jab, a straightforward slight, smacking of an arrogantly patriarchal mindset, directed at women who see the world differently than him.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2024/09/three-reasons-why-a-woman-would-vote-republican/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>It’s meant to hit only the “super wealthy”:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;The proposal would impose a minimum tax of 25% on total income, generally inclusive of unrealized capital gains, for all taxpayers with wealth (that is, the difference obtained by subtracting liabilities from assets) greater than $100 million,&#8221; the Treasury Department stated in its FY25 revenue proposals. The same proposal was also put forth by the Biden-Harris administration in fiscal year 2024 and in fiscal year 2023, but the minimum taxable amount was 20%.</p></blockquote>&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2024/09/wealth-taxes-court-packing-and-revolution/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a>]]></description>

<p>It’s not even Halloween, and the election is two months away, yet the Russian hobgoblins are coming out again to scare all the boys and girls.</p>
<p>Attorney General <strong>Merrick Garland</strong>’s <strong>Justice Department</strong> is working hard to turn some annoying Russian cyber meddling into the greatest threat to “democracy” since <strong>Hillary Clinton</strong>’s operatives hatched the Russian collusion hoax of 2016.</p>
<p>Here’s how it works. The FBI identifies “divisive” themes put out by Russian bots, such as citizens’ concerns over inflation or crimes committed by illegal aliens and then denounces them as “disinformation.” &#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2024/09/the-war-on-truth-deep-state-style/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>On Labor Day, the traditional start of fall election campaigns, <em>Real Clear Politics</em> gave <strong>Kamala Harris</strong> a lead of 1.8 points in the national polls. On the same date in 2020, <strong>Joe Biden</strong> had a 7.2 point lead. On the same date in 2016, <strong>Hillary Clinton</strong> had a 4.1 point lead.</p>

<p>There is never a level playing field in an American election. For example, the two major political parties have major advantages that third parties can&#8217;t muster. Another example is the major Democratic Party advantage of the home-team announcers calling the action on the playing field. Our national media set the terms and the tone of our democracy.</p>
<p>The pro-Democrat tilt of every election comes to mind when the pseudo-conservative <strong>Alyssa Farah Griffin</strong> gushed on ABC&#8217;s &#8220;The View&#8221; on Sept.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2024/09/media-bias-makes-it-easier-to-run-a-flawless-campaign/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>Could there be anything more creepy?</p>
<p>Last weekend, the &#8220;second gentleman&#8221; of the United States, <strong>Douglass Emhoff</strong>, took to X to post his personal support of child killing for convenience:</p>

<p><script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p>
<p>I understand the politics behind the post.

					<description><![CDATA[<p><em>Written by Erick Erickson</em></p>
<p>In the real world, no nationwide abortion ban is going to pass Congress, so <strong>Donald Trump</strong> will never have the opportunity to veto it. As a practical matter, concerns from pro-life activists amount to nothing because nothing is going to happen at the federal level. But for Trump and <strong>JD Vance</strong>, how they have improvised answers to the concerns of pro-life voters could hurt them more than help them. At the local level, the pro-life movement is on defense and losing every state that puts the matter up to a public vote.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2024/08/alienating-the-base/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>The lies were thick and fast all week at the Democratic National Convention, but never so blatantly as they were in Vice President <strong>Kamala Harris</strong>’ acceptance speech.</p>
<p>The Democratic presidential nominee accused her opponent, former President <strong>Donald Trump</strong>, of wanting to cut Social Security and Medicare (he has not); being weak on border enforcement (he had it under control before President Biden and Ms. Harris took office) and sending an “armed mob” to the Capitol on Jan.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2024/08/democrats-new-way-forward-one-lie-at-a-time/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>Here are two simple truths. First, the Biden-Harris administration has allowed more dangerous people, including known terrorists, to cross our border and be released into the country than ever before. Second, as vice president, <strong>Kamala Harris</strong> was appointed as the point person over the border. With the president essentially incapacitated, she is in charge.</p>
<p><strong>Donald Trump</strong> and Republicans must relentlessly connect these two points without distractions. Harris recently <a class="rm-stats-tracked" href="https://dailycaller.com/2024/08/13/harris-pledged-close-migrant-detention-centers/">promised</a> to get tough on the border.</p></div></div></div></div></div></div>&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2024/08/how-trump-and-the-gop-should-call-kamalas-border-bluff/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[<p><em>Written by Trevor Grant Thomas</em></p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">I’ve reached that stage of life that, on occasion, I’m asked for life advice. My best, most succinct answer is this: Follow Jesus and don’t vote for Democrats. The reason for the former part of my statement is widely known, and the reason for the latter is simple: The Democrat Party is one of the <a href="https://www.trevorgrantthomas.com/2014/05/the-devil-and-democratic-party.html">greatest tools of Satan</a> in the world today.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">In spite of this, there is some foolish thing called “Evangelicals for Harris.”&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2024/08/serious-sincere-christians-should-never-vote-for-a-democrat/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>Ahead of the Democratic National Convention this week, “Fox News Sunday” host <strong>Shannon Bream</strong> rattled off the latest batch of battleground state polls from <i>New York Times</i>/Siena College to U.S. Senator <strong>J.D. Vance</strong> (R-OH), which showed Vice President <strong>Kamala Harris</strong> leading former President <strong>Donald Trump</strong> by 5 points in Arizona and by 2 points in North Carolina. She also referenced two new national surveys from ABC News/<i>Washington Post</i> and CBS News showing Harris ahead of Trump by 4 points and 3 points in those respective states.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2024/08/does-the-media-use-fake-polls-to-depress-republican-turnout/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>The Democratic National Convention convenes on today and runs through Thursday, Aug. 22.</p>
<p>“More than 15,000 members of the media will be in Chicago to cover the convention,” the convention website informs us. That is, they’re supposed to be there to cover it, not act as delegates. But it’ll work out the same way.</p>
<p>The media will help Democrats create a misleading portrait of the party to pump into America’s living rooms.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2024/08/what-to-expect-at-the-democratic-national-convention/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>At a campaign rally on August 1st, <strong>Kamala Harris</strong>, while simultaneously taking a shot at <strong>Donald Trump</strong>, boasted of her superior crime-fighting ability, especially of her prosecutorial experience and skills. Using a cringe-worthy fake southern accent, Harris said:</p>
<blockquote><p><span style="background-color: #ffff99;"><em>“As many of you know, before I was elected Vice President and before I was elected a United States Senator, I was an elected Attorney General and an elected District Attorney.

<p>Besides Jesus Christ, John the Baptist is by far one of my most favored and respected heroes of the Christian Bible. His boldness and fearless proclamation of the truth concerning the imminent coming of the Kingdom of Christ, even to a hostile and spiritually blind world, caused him to be identified in New Testament Scripture as <em>“the voice of one crying in the wilderness,</em>” <a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Isaiah+40%3A3&#38;version=NASB" target="_blank" rel="noopener">prophesied</a> by the prophet Isaiah in the Old Testament.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2024/08/voices-crying-in-the-internet-wildernesses/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>Former State Senator <strong>Darren Bailey</strong> (R-Louisville) has been posting personal video content on his <a href="https://www.facebook.com/BaileyforIllinois">Bailey for Illinois</a> Facebook page for years now. These updates include political commentary, campaign updates, a Christian devotional readings and prayer. Since these video commentaries are very informative and encouraging, I often share these postings on my own personal social media platforms.</p>
<p>One such <a href="https://www.facebook.com/share/v/BifSrwUbzQpRTXm1/?mibextid=oFDknk">recent video post</a> deserves <em>much</em> greater attention by a <em>much</em> greater audience.</p>
<p>In his video post on Tuesday, August 6<sup>th</sup>, Darren highlighted some issues that have been on the minds of grass-root conservatives for some time regarding the Illinois Republican Party.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2024/08/07-bailey-action-items-for-the-il-gop/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>President Biden said during July’s heat wave that “extreme heat is the No. 1 weather-related killer in the United States.”</p>
<p>Mr. Biden is “wrong by a factor of 25,” wrote Bjorn Lomborg, a visiting fellow at the Hoover Institution, in <em>The Wall Street Journal</em>. “While extreme heat kills nearly 6,000 Americans each year, cold kills 152,000, of which 12,000 die from extreme cold.”</p>
<p>Mr. Lomborg noted that heat-related deaths have declined for decades in the United States and around the world because prosperity has allowed more people to afford air conditioning and other technology.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2024/08/numbers-dont-lie-except-when-democrats-report-them/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>As many recall, the 2020 election results came as a shock. Logically, the results did not make sense.</p>

<p>Within hours of her being announced as President Biden’s presumed replacement as the Democratic nominee, Vice President <strong>Kamala Harris</strong>’ moderate makeover began.</p>
<p>Journalists reflexively began gushing over her “historic” candidacy and centrist views.</p>
<p>The love bombing and sheer dishonesty is a replay of 2020, when she ran for vice president as a supposed moderate.</p>
<p>The facts loudly spoke otherwise. As a U.S. senator from California from 2017 to 2021, she had a more leftist voting record even than socialist U.S.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2024/07/harris-had-a-more-leftist-voting-record-than-sanders/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>On the same day that President <strong>Joe Biden</strong> implied Jan. 6 was a darker day than 9/11 and Pearl Harbor, leftist protesters fought and shoved police and burned the American flag near the Capitol. They pulled down the American flag and replaced it with the Palestinian flag. Some flew the Hamas flag and vandalized monuments with spray-painted slogans like &#8220;Hamas is comin'&#8221; and &#8220;I commend Hamas.&#8221;</p>
<p>The occasion was Israeli Prime Minister <strong>Benjamin Netanyahu</strong> speaking to a joint session of Congress.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2024/07/sanitizing-violent-flag-burning-pro-hamas-protesters/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>Here&#8217;s the thing I can&#8217;t get over.</p>
<p>If those running our country had instructed <strong>Joe Biden</strong> to duck any debates with <strong>Donald Trump</strong>, an option that would have been utterly defended by both his base and the mainstream press (but I repeat myself) as justifiable &#8211; &#8220;debating a convicted felon only gives him a legitimacy he hasn&#8217;t earned&#8221; &#8211; then Biden would still be the nominee of the Democrat Party heading into November&#8217;s election.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2024/07/the-real-crisis-we-all-should-be-talking-about/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[<p><em>Written by David E. Smith</em></p>
<p>In the wake of Thursday&#8217;s Presidential Debate between <strong>Donald J. Trump</strong> and <strong>Joe Biden</strong>, pundits on both side of the political spectrum agreed that President Biden&#8217;s mental acuity, weak voice and stammering and halting answers were alarming. Makes one wonder just who is behind the curtain in the White House making decisions.</p>
<p>Prior to this debate, there may have been some whispers in the wind about replacing Biden as the pro-abortion Democratic nominee, but those whispers are now being spoken loudly by political strategists and analysts on cable TV and news talk radio.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2024/06/joe-biden-2024-democratic-nominee-or-one-term-has-been/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>The visit by Vice President <strong>Kamala Harris</strong> to a Planned Parenthood abortion clinic in St. Paul, the first ever visit by a president or vice president to an abortion clinic, is getting the considerable attention it deserves.</p>
<p>When America&#8217;s vice president visits and pays homage to the nation&#8217;s largest abortion provider, it&#8217;s news. And what she said there is also news.</p>
<p>Harris predictably distorted truth and reality, pitching the boilerplate left-wing headline calling the destruction of our unborn health care.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2024/03/abortion-is-a-winning-issue-for-republicans/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>There’s more than meets the eye to the Democrats’ erasure of the nation’s southern border.</p>
<p>Sure, the Biden administration plans to keep allowing millions of aliens to enter the United States illegally, hook them on government aid, and turn them into permanent Democratic voters.</p>
<p>This is so obvious that denying it makes the Democrats and their media look ridiculously dishonest.</p>
<p>But I submit that it’s even more sinister. The aim is not to establish permanent, one-party Democratic power, although that’s crucial.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2024/02/erasing-the-southern-border-is-about-more-than-flooding-voter-rolls/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>Anything can happen in 2024.</p>
<p>But right now, as the new year dawns, former President <strong>Donald Trump</strong> holds an insurmountable lead for the GOP presidential nomination, barring an unforeseen circumstance.</p>
<p>The former president also holds a slim but steady lead in polls over President Biden, notably in several battleground states.</p>
<p>Even a conviction on one or more of the many bogus charges filed in four different courts by Democratic prosecutors and being heard by Democratic judges would not derail him.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2024/01/high-stakes-in-2024-election-are-cause-for-anxiety/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>No one in the media elites today is alarmed at a revolving door between the &#8220;objective media&#8221; and partisan politics. Politics seems more like a qualification than a disqualification.</p>
<p>NBC News announced on air that legal correspondent <strong>Laura Jarrett</strong> was going to be a co-host of their Saturday &#8220;Today&#8221; news program. She&#8217;s the daughter of <strong>Valerie Jarrett</strong>, the closest White House aide to <strong>Barack</strong> and <strong>Michelle Obama</strong>, and who is now a senior adviser to the Obama Foundation.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2023/08/the-biden-revolving-door-into-the-media-spins-heavily/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>The public could turn this question around: &#8220;What should a politician do when a CNN host says something untrue?&#8221; The Stelters of this world cannot imagine anyone at CNN would ever say anything false.

<p>The so-called fact-checkers are energetic defenders of President <strong>Joe Biden</strong> — almost like they&#8217;re his siblings or his nephews. No cockeyed critique of Biden is silly enough for them to forgo the urgent need to &#8220;check.&#8221; They&#8217;re perpetually poised to pounce!</p>
<p>PolitiFact gave us two examples on Feb. 10. Both were &#8220;Pants On Fire&#8221; warnings, but only one was about pants. The headline was &#8220;Joe Biden put his pants on backwards,&#8221; and their headline continued: &#8220;We know all about pants.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2023/02/when-pants-on-fire-fact-checks-are-about-bidens-pants/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>The gap is growing wider by the day in the culture war. In fact, it is heating up.</p>
<p>The White House “Proclamation on Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, and Intersex Pride Month, 2022” should help clarify what’s at stake.</p>
<p>This is no small matter. It’s at the heart of the left’s strategy to turn America into a place where no one dares espouse traditional morality. Their ultimate aim is to criminalize Christianity, not usher in tolerance.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2022/06/bidens-pro-abortion-and-lgbtq-crusades/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>There are many column-worthy topics, but I’m going to limit this to the <strong>Hunter Biden</strong> laptop, President Biden’s troubling gaffes and Disney’s latest plunge into “wokeness.”</p>
<p><em>The Washington Post</em>, like <em>The New York Times</em>, has finally admitted the validity of Hunter Biden’s laptop 16 months after the New York Post broke the story. Like Big Tech, they suppressed it until after his father, Joe Biden, was safely ensconced in the White House.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2022/04/from-hunters-laptop-to-the-lgbtq-mouse-and-the-white-house/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>If the lockstep media are good at anything, it’s repeating phrases out of context until they’re a mantra of shame.</p>
<p>This is done only to Republicans, of course. When Democrats commit awful misstatements, the media dismiss them as harmless “gaffes.”</p>
<p>By the way, if you think otherwise, you’re a “lying, dog-faced pony soldier,” as President <strong>Joe Biden</strong> said to a student. She was crushed, while the media gave Mr. Biden cover, saying he was only “joking.”&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2022/02/media-hostile-to-republicans-while-democrats-gaffes-ignored/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>The wheels of justice sometimes grind very slowly.</p>
<p>Or not at all.</p>
<p>In our current system, it appears that the only thing that matters is which party you belong to.</p>
<p>Corrupt Democrats almost never face punishment for their crimes. It doesn’t matter how glaring the evidence.</p>

<p>Looking back on the contradictory pronunciamentos uttered by President <strong>Joe Biden</strong> so solemnly over the last few months on the subject of Afghanistan, what has struck me is how inane they show him to be. When he was affirming that everything in Kabul, Afghanistan, was hunky-dory or when he was sounding the alarm, he was inane. His statements were vacuous.<span class="column--highlighted-text"> How did this man become president of the United States?</span></p>

<p>No matter how mentally diminished President <strong>Joe Biden</strong> is, you have to be horrified by who waits in the wings should he leave office before the expiration of his term.</p>
<p>Unfortunately, one of the many consequences of Biden&#8217;s mental decline is an impairment of judgment that manifests itself in such reckless decisions as putting Vice President <strong>Kamala Harris</strong> in charge of the border. It is like making a colicky infant the goalie of a professional hockey team.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2021/06/kamala-harris-just-keeps-getting-worse/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>Everyone knows President <strong>Joe Biden</strong> ran as a moderate and is governing as a leftist radical, yet we see little evidence of Democrats, including the liberal media, breaking ranks from him. Why?</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve previously written about the lack of Democrats&#8217; dissent from their party&#8217;s undeniable extremism and have always been met with the response that they don&#8217;t dissent because there are no longer any moderate Democrats. Yet when I talk to my Democratic friends, they vehemently deny that they personally are extremists.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2021/05/calling-on-moderate-democrats/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>My major takeaway from President Biden&#8217;s joint address to Congress is that he and his handlers are continuing to employ the Democrats&#8217; primary strategy from the Obama years: Never let a crisis go to waste.</p>
<p>To scare the American people into accepting his reckless spending proposals, <strong>Joe Biden</strong> is leveraging the pandemic, which means he is framing it as still hot, raging and dangerous, while immodestly taking undeserved credit for the progress that we&#8217;ve made.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2021/05/team-biden-intends-to-never-let-its-manufactured-crises-go-to-waste/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>On his first day as president, <strong>Joe Biden</strong> issued an “Executive Order on Advancing Racial Equity and Support for Underserved Communities.” Mr. Biden’s cabinet nominees must now explain whether this commitment to “equity” means they intend to abolish “equal treatment under law.” Their answers are a confused mess.</p>
<p>Arkansas U.S. Senator <strong>Tom Cotton</strong> raised the question explicitly in confirmation hearings. Attorney General-designate <strong>Merrick Garland</strong> responded: “I think discrimination is morally wrong.

<p>With Biden/Harris ensconced in the White House, we’re being instructed to cheer the return of “science” as a guide to public policy.</p>
<p>The inference is that all important decisions during the Trump years were made by reading tea leaves or conferring with the Amazing Kreskin.</p>
<p>So, back to “science.” If only.</p>
<p>Like anything else of consequence, much of science has been hijacked and repurposed to suit progressive agendas. As such, it’s no longer real science but selectively publicized “studies,” enforced by guilds like the American Psychological Association or the climate Chicken Littles.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2021/02/todays-mad-science-hijacked-and-repurposed-to-suit-progressive-agendas/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>OK, with the “unity” and “healing” rhetoric behind us as we enter the Biden/Harris years, backed by 25,000 troops, we can get back to the business at hand.</p>
<p>That would be the left’s all-out war on free speech, American heritage, limited government, economic freedom, biological truth and Judeo-Christian morality.</p>
<p>After Mr. Biden’s soothing words, his administration took a scorched-earth approach on its very first day. He signed executive orders reversing many positive Trump policies, including controlling the border, achieving energy independence, limiting travel from terror-prone nations, protecting unborn children, keeping biological males out of females’ bathrooms, locker rooms and sports, and assembling the 1776 Commission, which was countering lies about America spread by the malign <a href="https://illinoisfamily.org/education/in-chicago-schools-re-write-history-with-1619-lies/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">1619 Project</a>.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2021/01/agree-with-liberals-or-youre-racist-xenophobic-and-dangerous/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[<p><em>Written by Jerry Newcombe</em></p>
<p>Another anniversary of <em>Roe v. Wade </em>has come and gone. And in recent days, the pro-life movement has suffered some serious political setbacks.</p>
<p>Outgoing President <strong>Donald Trump</strong> was surprisingly pro-life. In contrast, incoming President <strong>Joe Biden</strong>, although he is a Catholic, has become so pro-abortion that he believes in abortion for any reason up to the very moment of birth—and that you and I should pay for it.</p>
<p>Vice President <strong>Kamala Harris</strong> is just a heartbeat away from the presidency.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2021/01/abortion-is-the-issue-that-will-not-die/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>Vice-President-elect <strong>Kamala Harris</strong> is facing criticism after <a href="https://twitter.com/cspan/status/1347272949284425728" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">her remarks</a> comparing the violence at Capitol Hill on Wednesday to the Black Lives Matter riots during the summer.</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;We witnessed two systems of justice when we saw one that let extremists storm the United States Capitol, and another that released tear gas on peaceful protesters last summer,&#8221; Harris said in comments Wednesday night. &#8220;We know this is unacceptable. We know we should be better than this.&#8221;</p></blockquote>&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2021/01/kamal-harris-faces-criticism-for-riot-hypocrisy/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a>]]></description>

<p>America needs God-fearing patriots like never before! Establishment Media (aka Fake News) has cheered for and now celebrates the inaugural events for <strong>Joe Biden</strong> and <strong>Kamala Harris</strong>. Even some formerly stalwart outlets, such as Fox News Channel, have succumbed to the narrative.</p>
<p>But what is the truth, and how should conservatives respond?</p>
<p>Looking at the situation following Election 2020, the outlook seems bleak. The <em>AP</em> and every &#8220;news&#8221; station declared Mr.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2021/01/standing-with-trump-against-election-fraud/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>I have long believed that the radical left represents an existential threat to the republic. Indeed, my last book, &#8220;<a href="https://www.amazon.com/Guilty-Reason-Insanity-Democrats-Must/dp/1621579883/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&#38;keywords=Guilty+By+Reason+of+Insanity%3A+Why+the+Democrats+Must+Not+Win&#38;qid=1609595427&#38;sr=8-1" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Guilty By Reason of Insanity: Why the Democrats Must Not Win</a>,&#8221; was based on that premise. So now what?</p>
<p><span class="column--highlighted-text">Since it appears that <strong>Joe Biden</strong> and <strong>Kamala Harris</strong> will take office in less than three weeks, my deepest fears should only be intensifying. Right?</span></p>
<p>We needn&#8217;t carry on this disingenuous debate about whether Biden is a centrist, because his growing mental incapacity makes it a moot point.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2021/01/never-give-up/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[<p><em>Written by Dr. Everett Piper</em></p>
<p>This past week a group defining themselves as Secular Democrats of America submitted a 28-page letter to <strong>Kamala Harris</strong> and <strong>Joe Biden</strong> calling on them to expunge religion from all sectors of <a href="chrome-extension://oknpjjbmpnndlpmnhmekjpocelpnlfdi/topics/american-public-life/">American public life</a> and to “re-educate” Christian Americans that they should keep their “religious dogma” to themselves.</p>
<p>In their document, titled “<a href="https://seculardems.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/SecularDemocratsofAmerica_Blueprint_BidenHarrisTransition_11-30-20_FINAL.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Restoring Constitutional Secularism and Patriotic Pluralism in the White House</a>,” congressional Democrats <strong>Jamie Raskin</strong> of Maryland, <strong>Jared Huffman</strong> of California and <strong>Jerry McNerney</strong> of California bemoan life under the Trump administration:</p>
<blockquote><p><span style="background-color: #ffff99;">“The constant entanglement of religion and government … sweeps far beyond hot-button ‘culture war’ issues … It permeates every aspect of government policy — health care, public and private education, foreign policy, tax policy, environmental policy, military policy, and more …”</span></p></blockquote>
<p>They continue:</p>
<blockquote><p><span style="background-color: #ffff99;">“[Government] decisions should be guided by science and evidence … We believe that now is the right time to make a case for reviving a Jeffersonian approach to governance that favors reason … and to disentangle government policy from the influence of … religious interests that have become dangerously entrenched at all levels of government.”</span></p></blockquote>&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2020/12/secular-dems-mistakenly-invoke-jeffersons-ideals-to-try-and-stifle-religion-in-america/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a>]]></description>

<p>Some progressives are grousing that <strong>Joe Biden</strong>’s Cabinet choices aren’t sufficiently Marxist. They want <strong>Bernie Sanders</strong> named as Labor secretary, for instance. The <em>Nation</em> magazine is less critical but also wants more lefties.</p>
<p>You just can’t please some people. The fabricated “Office of the President-Elect” has announced what amounts to a reunion of the Obama administration’s radical crew, and then some.</p>

<p>Journalists have strongly slanted the &#8220;news&#8221; during the Trump era in order to destroy Donald Trump&#8217;s presidency, and to destroy it early if possible. Their actions betray that they feel they have important and influential platforms from which they can and should run America in between elections. The voters can have a say for about two weeks every two years.</p>
<p>Recall 2004, when <em>Newsweek</em>&#8216;s <strong>Evan Thomas</strong> admitted the press would go all in for Democratic presidential and vice presidential nominees <strong>John Kerry</strong> and <strong>John Edwards</strong>, and that the effort would &#8220;be worth maybe 15 points.&#8221;&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2020/11/the-news-that-biden-voters-didnt-know/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>A lot of things worry me about a <strong>Joe Biden-Kamala Harris</strong> administration, but nothing troubles me more than that it will accommodate the left&#8217;s disturbing march toward selective suppression of free speech.</p>
<p><span class="column--highlighted-text">Much of the war against this sacred liberty occurs at the level of our culture, but when a leftist-friendly administration is in power, our efforts to combat this culturally will be more difficult.</span></p>
<p>As a result of structural and technological changes in our society, threats to free speech no longer come from government alone, and so, our constitutional guarantees against encroachments are now inadequate.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2020/11/the-censorious-left-is-obliterating-free-speech/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>Soon after his release from Walter Reed Military Hospital where he received treatment for the coronavirus, President <strong>Donald Trump</strong> prioritized communicating the importance of pro-life legislation.

<p>Trump’s<a href="https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1313443879253946370"> first</a> tweet drew attention to comments made by Joe Biden during a town hall meeting last night in Miami, Florida.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2020/10/trumps-high-pro-life-priority/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>This past month, America’s Progressives showed they will do anything to elect <strong>Joe Biden</strong> and <strong>Kamala Harris</strong>. This includes having social media, along with “legacy” media, spike articles by America’s fourth largest newspaper, <em>The New York Post</em>.</p>
<p>But that’s not all. These Marxists are even vowing revenge on Trump supporters if they get back the reins of power.</p>
<p>“When this nightmare is over, we need a Truth and Reconciliation Commission,” tweeted <strong>Robert Reich</strong>, former Labor Department secretary under <strong>Bill Clinton</strong> and adviser to <strong>Barack Obama</strong>.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2020/10/the-relentless-revolution/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>I know that there is great skepticism towards political polling because of how they are often used to influence rather than measure public opinion. There is also skepticism because many polls seem to prove themselves inaccurate on Election Day.</p>
<p>However, there is a fascinating new poll that may mean trouble for the Biden/Harris ticket. It has findings that you won’t hear on CNN, MSNBC or the other liberal news networks.</p>
<p>The <a href="https://democracyinstitute.org/new-democracy-institute-sunday-express-poll-trump-ahead/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Democracy Institute/Sunday Express Poll</a> shows that President <strong>Donald J.</strong>&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2020/09/is-this-trouble-for-joe-biden/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>The ongoing merger between the Democratic Party and the fifth column of communist revolutionaries seeking to overthrow America is almost complete, with the bizarre affair finally coming out of the closet amid the 2020 election campaign. In fact, some of America&#8217;s most hard-core and prominent totalitarian leaders are openly calling on their supporters to vote for <strong>Joe Biden</strong> and <strong>Kamala Harris</strong> this November.</p>
<p>Foreign communists also reportedly have a strong affinity for Biden.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2020/09/communist-revolutionaries-openly-back-biden-harris-2020/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>Two weeks ago, Democratic presidential nominee <strong>Joe Biden</strong> announced his choice for vice president, and <strong>Kamala Harris</strong> is the winner. If you were lucky enough to miss the Democratic presidential debates prior to 2020, and before they nominated Joe Biden, you might be wondering, who in the wide wicked world of politics is that, and why would I care that she has been nominated for potential VP?</p>
<p>Kamala Harris served as the California attorney general between 2010 and 2016 before running for the U.S.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2020/08/kamala-harris-abortion-cheerleader/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>I watched her speech thinking it might change my opinion. It didn&#8217;t.</p>
<p>So I&#8217;m just going to be honest and say if there&#8217;s one thing I don&#8217;t understand, it&#8217;s the pretend giddiness being exhibited by the left when they anticipate the coming Vice-Presidential debate between <strong>Kamala Harris</strong> and <strong>Mike Pence</strong>. For instance:</p>

<p>Traditionally this should be a good week for the Democrat Party with their national convention. Traditionally too, the announcement of a running-mate, the <strong>Joe Biden</strong> and <strong>Kamala Harris</strong> ticket, should be a boost. <em>But is it?</em></p>
<p>A new<a href="https://www.cnn.com/2020/08/16/politics/cnn-poll-biden-trump-august/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"> CNN poll</a> now shows the presidential race at a virtual tie. President <strong>Donald J. Trump</strong> is down 4 points, but the poll’s margin of error is 3.7 percent, making it a possible tie. In many battleground states Trump is just 1 point behind, according to CNN, <em>no friend of the President</em>.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2020/08/fallout-or-a-boost-from-a-vp-pick/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p><strong>Bob Avakian</strong>, chairman of the Revolutionary Communist Party USA (RCPUSA), has <a href="https://revcom.us/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">endorsed</a> <strong>Joe Biden</strong> for president.</p>
<p>Mr. Avakian, who has led the party since 1979, says he doesn’t particularly like Mr. Biden, but that electing him is necessary for “the overthrow of this system, as the <em>fundamental</em> solution to the continuing horrors this system causes for the masses of humanity.”</p>
<p>That “system” is our self-governing republic with its constitutionally-guaranteed rule of law, property rights, the freedoms of religion, speech, press and assembly, and free market economics.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2020/08/by-their-red-stars-youll-know-them/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>On April 14, 2020, former President <strong>Barack Obama</strong> endorsed his former Vice President and presidential candidate <strong>Joe Biden</strong>. In his <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5-s3ANu4eMs">video announcement</a>, he says of Biden, “Through all his trials, he’s never once forgotten the values or the moral fiber that his parents passed on to him and that made him who he is.” But Obama is incorrect.</p>
<p>When it comes to the issue of abortion, Biden has evolved from the moderate he claimed to be into a radical supporter of abortion rights.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2020/05/joe-bidens-moral-fiber-or-lack-thereof-on-abortion/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>Democratic U.S. Senators <strong>Catherine Cortez Masto</strong>, <strong>Kirsten Gillibrand</strong>, <strong>Kamala Harris</strong>, <strong>Elizabeth Warren</strong> and <strong>Amy Klobuchar</strong> — self-styled feminists who bought every flimsy claim made against now U.S. Supreme Court Justice <strong>Brett Kavanaugh</strong> — have chosen to stand by <strong>Joe Biden</strong> in the face of a sexual assault allegation made against him by a former staffer.</p>
<p>The MeToo movement, which followed a <em>New York Times</em>&#8216; expose on Hollywood mogul <strong>Harvey Weinstein</strong>&#8216;s abuse and degradation of women in the entertainment industry, was supposed to prove that the feminist movement was a moral entity committed to fair treatment of women, even when big Democratic figures stood accused.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2020/05/the-silence-of-the-media-lambs/" 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>

<p>If you weren’t looking closely, you might not have noticed that Republicans won two North Carolina congressional races last Tuesday, not just one.</p>
<p>The media featured the 9th District race in which <strong><a href="https://www.washingtontimes.com/topics/dan-bishop/">Dan Bishop</a></strong> defeated <strong>Dan McCready</strong> by 50.7 percent to 48.7 percent. They ignored the 3rd District, where state U.S. Representative <strong>Greg Murphy</strong> swamped Democrat <strong>Allen Thomas</strong> with nearly 60 percent of the vote to fill the seat of the late U.S.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2019/09/fake-news-narrative-trump-is-in-trouble/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>Democrats can’t seem to figure out whether they want to use the government to drive Christianity underground or just replace the biblical version with fake Christianity.</p>
<p>These aren’t mutually exclusive goals; either one brings America closer to a secular, socialist state whose unofficial religion is atheism.</p>
<p>Democratic presidential contenders like former Vice President <strong>Joe Biden</strong>, Massachusetts U.S. Senator <strong>Elizabeth Warren</strong>, New Jersey U.S. Senator <strong>Cory Booker</strong>, California U.S. Senator <strong>Kamala Harris</strong> and South Bend Mayor <strong>Pete Buttigieg</strong> invoke Christianity to shill for taxpayer-funded, unrestricted abortion and the family values of Sodom, plus confiscation of wealth and redistribution.  &#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2019/09/democrats-put-their-faith-in-the-faithless/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>U.S. Senator <strong>Elizabeth Warren</strong> (D-MA) has again apologized – sort of – for lying about being an American Indian back when it helped advance her academic legal career.</p>
<p>At a Native American presidential forum in Sioux City, Iowa last week, the Massachusetts Democrat framed her prevarications as a mistake:</p>
<blockquote><p>“I want to say this, like anyone who’s been honest with themselves, I know that I have made mistakes.

<p>For every person who fits the profile of the El Paso shooter, there are likely thousands who fit the profile of <strong>Maurice Hill</strong>, the man arrested for shooting six cops in north Philadelphia [last week]. Based on a quick look at court documents from Philadelphia and Delaware Counties, Hill has a rap sheet dating back to 2001 that includes charges for illegal gun possession, drugs, driving offenses, assault, burglary, theft, robbery, kidnapping, and attempted murder.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2019/08/the-same-people-who-pushed-early-release-for-gun-felons-now-want-to-take-guns-without-due-process/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>In Wednesday evening’s Democratic presidential debate circus, the left’s favorite darlings turned on one another with a selfish vengeance, which was a positive development for the country and mildly entertaining. The glorious infighting continued among progressive commentators.</p>
<p>This acrimony, coupled with the public exposure of the left’s crazy ideas, surely diminished the party’s image among sane voters. The more leftists reveal their inanity and extremism, the better for President Trump and the nation.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2019/08/democrats-in-showing-their-extremism-do-nation-a-favor/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>So, here’s the Democrats’ plan: Flood America’s southern border with millions of illegal aliens, hook them on government aid and eventually turn them into voters. It can’t be more obvious anymore.</p>
<p>Use the courts to strike down any attempts to secure the border.  Have judges rule against election integrity laws like voter ID or even the commonsense question about citizenship in the 2020 national census. Once the census count is in, grant more congressional districts and federal funds to jurisdictions swelled with illegals.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2019/07/the-democrats-open-border-campaign-strategy/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>Adults in the Democratic Party, who seem like flustered parents at an out-of-control toddler birthday bash, have been warning about the public’s perception of them.</p>
<p>U.S. House Speaker <strong>Nancy Pelosi</strong> (D-CA) has reason to worry. The 22 declared candidates for the presidential nomination lean far to the Left.  Which means they represent the center of their now-far-Left party.</p>
<p>The mini-wave for “moderate” <strong>Joe Biden</strong> reflects a desperate pullback from the zany public image fostered by wild-haired Vermont socialist U.S.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2019/05/democrats-lurch-ever-leftward/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>Two years ago, U.S. Senator <strong>Bernie Sanders</strong> (I-VT) raked a Trump nominee over the coals because of the man’s <em>theological </em>views. <strong>Russell Vought</strong>, a nominee to the Office of Management and Budget, attended Wheaton College.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2019/03/what-part-of-no-religious-test-dont-we-understand/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>The GND expands government incomprehensively. No more carbon-spewing airplanes. High-speed rail will take us everywhere.

					<description><![CDATA[<p><em>Written by Peter Heck</em></p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">It’s one of the most curious approaches to a lopsided public policy battle I’ve seen, and yet it continues to work.  The propensity of pro-abortion advocates to play the underdog is so frighteningly effective, I have to ask if the portion of the general population that falls for it has taken complete leave of their senses.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">I understand this approach meets the “speak truth to power” mantra that the political left has adopted.  &#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2019/02/pro-aborts-arent-victims-they-create-victims/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>If the latest policies advanced by prominent Democrats are any indication, the national party is going over a cliff: outrageous and extreme abortion legislation (enacted or proposed) in New York, Virginia and Rhode Island; the &#8220;Green New Deal&#8221;; U.S. Senator <strong>Cory Booker</strong>&#8216;s meatless society; U.S. Senators <strong>Kamala Harris</strong>&#8216; and <strong>Kirsten Gillibrand</strong>&#8216;s determination to do away with private insurance.</p>
<p>The current slate of Democratic policy proposals are shocking in a number of ways, but one thing that stands out is the staggering ignorance of the proponents.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2019/02/ignorance-first-destruction-next/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[<p><em>Written by Patrick Buchanan</em></p>
<p>After reading an especially radical platform agreed upon by the British Labor Party, one Tory wag described it as &#8220;the longest suicide note in history.&#8221;</p>
<p>The phrase comes to mind on reading of the resolution calling for a Green New Deal, advanced by <strong>Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez</strong>, and endorsed by at least five of the major Democratic candidates for president.</p>
<p>The Green New Deal is designed to recall the halcyon days of the 1930s, when, so the story goes, FDR came to Washington to enact the historic reforms that rescued America from the Great Depression.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2019/02/are-the-democrats-bent-on-suicide/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>When it comes to the most significant moral issues of our time, no one should be surprised by immoral actions of modern liberals. You can be saddened, shocked, angry, disgusted, and the like, but you should not be surprised.  This is certainly true when it comes to the issue of even infanticide.</p>
<p>For decades, Democrats have <a href="https://www.trevorgrantthomas.com/2015/07/untermenschen-language-of-death.html">dehumanized the unborn</a> and argued against protecting the most innocent and helpless among us, even when they escaped death in their mothers&#8217; wombs.  &#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2019/02/infanticidal-democrats-took-their-cues-from-barack-obama/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[<p><em>Written by Robert Knight</em></p>
<p>To say the Left in America has gone off the rails is like saying the Super Bowl is a fairly popular football game.</p>
<p>It’s hard to keep up with the tsunami of cultural and economic insanity thundering through a thousand outlets every day, but here’s a try.  You thought Vermont’s Democratic Socialist U.S. Senator <strong>Bernie Sanders</strong> was radical?  Current Democratic leaders <em>start</em> with his views and go further left.</p>
<p>U.S. House Speaker <strong>Nancy Pelosi</strong> mocks the idea of securing America’s southern border as something only a bigot like President Trump would want.  &#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2019/02/the-lefts-growing-record-of-insanity/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[<p><em>Written by David Limbaugh</em></p>
<p>It’s horrifying that we are rapidly approaching the kind of culture that God ordered the Israelites to wipe out when he finally allowed them to enter the land he had promised them — a culture of rampant immorality, idolatry and child sacrifice.</p>
<p>For the longest time, the political left insisted that it was not pro-abortion but pro-choice, that it truly wanted to make abortion safe, legal and rare. I never could quite grasp why liberals would care about making it rare if they didn’t consider the unborn to be human lives.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2019/02/abortion-extremism-exposing-lefts-moral-contradictions/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[<p><em>Written by Perry Bacon Jr.</em></p>
<p>In the days after <strong>Hillary Clinton</strong>’s defeat, the two people who seemed like the Democratic Party’s most obvious 2020 candidates, then-Vice President <strong><a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2016/12/15/us/politics/democrats-joe-biden-hillary-clinton.html">Joe Biden</a></strong> and Vermont U.S. Senator <strong>Bernie Sanders</strong>, hinted that Clinton had gone too far in talking about issues of identity. “It is not good enough for somebody to say, ‘I’m a woman; vote for me,’” <a href="https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/onpolitics/2016/11/21/sanders-identity-politics/94221972/">Sanders said</a>.</p>
<p>Other liberals lamented that the party had lost <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2016/11/10/upshot/why-trump-won-working-class-whites.html">white voters in such states as Ohio and Iowa</a> who had supported <strong>Barack Obama</strong>, and they said Democrats needed to <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2016/11/20/opinion/sunday/the-end-of-identity-liberalism.html">dial back the identity talk</a> to win them back.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2018/07/what-the-rise-of-kamala-harris-tells-us-about-the-democratic-party/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>Do they really hate ordinary people that much?</p>
<p>Yes, they do.  For liberals, the distinction between the &#8220;dumb masses&#8221; and their enlightened selves renders life meaningful.  Disdain for ordinary folks is not just an ancillary trait of liberalism.  It is fundamental to the its nature.</p>
<p>At its heart, liberalism is a gnostic religion, and the essence of that religion is the believer&#8217;s faith that he possesses the means of changing the world for the better.  &#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2018/02/leftists-versus-the-people/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p><em>Written by Robert Knight</em></p>
<p>Ever notice how threats of force invariably follow the Left’s pleas for “tolerance?”</p>
<p>Let’s call this criminalization of dissent “totalitolerance.”  This term has been around since at least 2013, but it deserves wider circulation, given the ferocity and frequency of progressive attacks on free speech.</p>
<p>In California, Attorney General <strong>Kamala Harris</strong> demanded the names of donors to conservative nonprofits in order to expose them to the kind of harassment endured by supporters of the Prop 8 marriage amendment referendum in 2008. &#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2016/06/totalitolerance-unleashed/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>
