					<description><![CDATA[<p><em>Written by Robert Knight</em></p>
<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>

<p>Did you know that debating issues in Congress is part of the culture war and is bad for democracy?</p>
<p>That’s what <em>The Washington Post</em> (motto: “Democracy Dies in Darkness”) implied in its front-page story after the Republican-led House approved the National Defense Authorization Act in a 219-210 party-line vote.</p>
<p>The bill authorizes an $886 billion defense budget and rolls back some of the Democrats’ schemes aimed at turning America into a Marxist version of Sodom and Gomorrah.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2023/07/yes-the-culture-war-is-real-and-democrats-started-it/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>There is a good chance that you missed the big news out of Washington D.C. this week with the testimony of two IRS whistleblowers who testified at a U.S. House Oversight Committee hearing on July 19, 2023. According to <a href="https://www.newsbusters.org/blogs/nb/tim-graham/2023/07/21/column-when-republicans-win-media-are-hearings-impaired" target="_blank" rel="noopener">an article</a> by News Busters, the so-called &#8220;mainstream&#8221; media failed to cover this important probe into the slow-walked Hunter-Biden investigation.

<p>Have you ever wondered why we are stuck with terrible government policies, programs, and agencies indefinitely with no ability to repeal or reform them? After all, seldom do we ever get enough support in all three branches of government to do the right thing. In reality, our political leaders who came before us weren’t as flawed as we think. Most critical functions of government, indeed, are not on autopilot. They expire every few years and are subject to reauthorization.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2023/06/the-forgotten-leverage-u-s-house-republicans-can-wield-to-shut-down-weaponized-government/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>McCarthy’s debt deal was supposedly the greatest spending cut of all time. Yet those cuts must have fooled everyone else, because <a href="https://www.senate.gov/legislative/LIS/roll_call_votes/vote1181/vote_118_1_00146.htm">all but six Democrats voted <em>for</em> the bill in the U.S. Senate</a>, while Republican senators <em>opposed</em> it 32-17. This latest betrayal is the culmination of years’ worth of GOP perfidy on the most important budget bills, in which each one garnered more support from Democrats than Republicans no matter which branch of government Republicans controlled.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2023/06/welcome-to-the-uniparty/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[<p><em>Written by Daniel Horowitz</em></p>
<p>Is it too much to ask that nearly 250 years after the adoption of the Declaration of Independence, we finally treat people equally?</p>
<p>For decades, Republicans have engaged in a drag race with Democrats to pander to the gods of “diversity” and affirmative action rather than supporting a pure meritocracy in which all public policy and legal decisions are 100% blind to the physical identity of a human being. However, over the past few years, there has finally been a great awakening among conservatives, largely impelled by the radical push for “critical race theory” and “diversity, equity, and inclusion” programs, to shed their fear of being called names and rather pursue truth, equality, and justice in a color-blind meritocracy.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2023/03/why-did-speaker-mccarthy-keep-pelosis-house-diversity-and-inclusion-office/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p style="font-weight: 400;">With U.S. House Speaker Kevin McCarthy’s release of thousands of hours of Capitol surveillance video footage to <strong>Tucker Carlson</strong>, and Carlson’s subsequent airing of the footage on his popular FOX News show, it’s more clear now than ever: What the American left did to Trump, on COVID, on crime (especially the ANTIFA/BLM riots), at the border, and the like, was <strong><em>FAR</em></strong> worse than anything that occurred at the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2023/03/insurrection-vs-numerous-subversions-of-the-american-left/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>Imagine how amazing things could have been had we woken up last Wednesday morning with Republicans winning 54 seats in the Senate and 250 seats in the House. We’d be off to the promised land, right? Wrong! Actually, from a policy perspective, we’d be in the same place we are today, sans the much-needed introspection that is taking place deep in the souls of conservative politicos – an introspection we’ve needed for decades.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2022/11/the-problem-with-the-republican-party-is-the-republican-party/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>Indeed, what&#8217;s the point in the GOP puffing up its chest about ousting <strong>Liz Cheney</strong> from her U.S. House leadership position if they&#8217;re just going to turn around and behave like never-Trumpers by caving on <strong>Joe Biden</strong>&#8216;s agenda? Why would they play footsy with the most militantly leftist party in American history?&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2021/05/gop-seek-not-phony-bipartisanship-save-the-nation/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>Democratic donors are feeling a lot lighter in the wallet this week, but how much do they have to show for it? While Fox News raced to call the U.S. House for Democrats, the real story behind the numbers is a crushing one for U.S. House Speaker <strong>Nancy Pelosi</strong> (D-CA). She didn&#8217;t just watch her majority shrink &#8212; she witnessed a foreboding flip of seats in solidly blue districts. Will she have control over the House when it&#8217;s all over?&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2020/11/idle-wave-the-democratic-landslide-that-wasnt/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<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>U.S. Congresswoman <strong>Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez</strong> may seem harmless, but she’s a virtue signaler on steroids and a nonstop headline-manufacturing machine.</p>
<p>The left adores her, and for conservatives she’s a gift that keeps on giving –because she is either too naive or arrogant to rein herself in. Don’t listen to those who advise not to be roped into her spotlight-seeking trap. Give her all the attention she craves — and more rope.</p>
<p>AOC conspicuously put her foot in her mouth again, but she clearly likes the taste of it because she refuses to remove it.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2019/06/please-dont-shut-up-aoc/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>If we are so busy “owning the libs” that we ignore the libs festering within our own ranks to the point where “our party” agrees with 90 percent of what the libs want, isn’t it time we focused on cleaning our own house?</p>
<p>The biggest news of the day outside the Kavanaugh cloture vote in the U.S. Senate is that one Republican, <strong>Lisa Murkowski</strong> from the solid red state of Alaska, voted against him.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2018/10/complacent-conservatives-should-learn-the-murkowski-lesson/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p><em>Written by Brent Bozell</em></p>
<p>We are watching the wheels come off the most radical and dangerously incompetent administration in history. “I am not on the ballot this fall,” President <strong>Barack Obama</strong> proclaims, “but make no mistake: these policies are on the ballot. Every single one of them.”</p>
<p>This statement should be the final nail in the coffin for the Democrats. The GOP should be poised to win a landslide of historic proportions.</p>
<p>So why is there so much debate over whether they’ll win &#8212; at all?&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2014/10/if-gop-blows-nov-election-its-anti-conservative-strategy-will-be-to-blame/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>
