					<description><![CDATA[<p><em>Written by Dr. Everett Piper</em></p>
<p>Science fiction author <strong>Philip K. Dick</strong> once said, “The basic tool for the manipulation of reality is the manipulation of words. If you can control the meaning of words, you can control the people who must use them.”</p>
<p>Of all the strategies presently used by Democrats and their puppets in the establishment media, the bastardization of words is perhaps the most pernicious.</p>
<p>Take, for example, the words green and gay, change and choice, male and female, moral and immoral, justice and injustice, compassion, care and tolerance.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2026/02/the-lefts-war-on-words-and-why-it-matters/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>The shooting and death of <strong>Renee Nicole Good</strong> by an ICE agent in Minneapolis was tragic, completely avoidable, and deserves a full, transparent investigation and a serious response. We cannot ignore the dangerous reality on the ground: federal law-enforcement officers carrying out a vital mission are being targeted, threatened, doxed, assaulted, and routinely obstructed. That cannot continue.</p>
<p>These mob tactics cross the line. The First Amendment guarantees “the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.”&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2026/01/open-borders-political-stunts-and-the-cost-in-innocent-lives/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>This week, the White House celebrates the first 100 days of <strong>Donald Trump</strong>&#8216;s second term as POTUS by focusing on the progress that has been made securing the border. In fact, the lawn outside the White House was lined with posters of 100 of the &#8220;worst <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/category/us/immigration/illegal-immigrants" target="_blank" rel="noopener">illegal immigrant</a> criminals&#8221; arrested under the new administration, including rapists, murderers, and criminals who attacked children.</p>
<p>At the Monday morning press briefing, Press Secretary <strong>Karoline Leavitt</strong> was joined by Border Czar <strong>Tom Homan</strong> to report on the significant progress that has been made during this time period.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2025/05/one-hundred-days-in-significant-progress-in-border-security/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[<p><em>Written by Dr. Everett Piper</em></p>
<p>For the past two weeks, adulation over Episcopal Bishop <strong>Mariann Budde</strong>’s scolding of President <strong>Donald Trump</strong> and Vice President <strong>JD Vance</strong> has become all the rage for liberal church leaders across the United States and, indeed, around the world.</p>
<p>Here’s just a sampling of what the “Church of Never Trump” has had to say.</p>
<p>The Free Methodist Church Board of Bishops issued an emergency statement echoing the words of Bishop Budde and expressing “deep concern for the very real pain” that members of their community are experiencing.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2025/02/questions-for-bishop-budde-and-the-church-of-never-trump/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p data-sourcepos="1:1-1:119">The Laken Riley Act, introduced by U.S Senator <strong>Katie Boyd</strong> (R-AL) in the Senate (<a href="https://www.govtrack.us/congress/bills/119/s5/text" target="_blank" rel="noopener">S.5</a>) and U.S. Representative <strong>Mike Collins</strong> (R-GA) in the House (<a href="https://www.govtrack.us/congress/bills/119/hr29/text" target="_blank" rel="noopener">H.R. 29</a>), aims to increase immigration enforcement. Once signed into law, it will mandate the detention of illegal immigrants charged with or convicted of burglary, theft, larceny, or shoplifting. It also allows states to sue the federal government for decisions or alleged failures related to immigration enforcement that result in harm to the state or its residents.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2025/01/the-laken-riley-act-how-did-they-vote/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[<p><em>Written by Daniel Horowitz</em></p>
<p>When <strong>George Floyd</strong> died under disputed circumstances in 2020, a spontaneous, rapturous global movement emerged to lionize him and use his death to demand changes to our policing and criminal justice system. The movement succeeded, and it resulted in the worst crime wave in a generation.</p>
<p><strong>Laken Riley</strong>, a young nursing student in Georgia, was brutally murdered last week, allegedly by an illegal alien from Venezuela. Where are the cries of “justice for Laken”?&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2024/02/joe-bidens-sanctuary-nation-policies-made-laken-rileys-death-possible/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>
