Chicago endured another bloody Labor Day weekend: eight people killed and 58 shot, including two teenagers. President Donald J. Trump responded by declaring, “Enough is enough… we’re going in,” signaling his willingness to send federal help to restore order in the city.
Trump contrasted Chicago’s spiraling violence with Washington, D.C., which he claimed is now a “safe zone” after federal intervention. “You can walk right down the middle of the street… you’re safe,” he told reporters.… Continue Reading

Across Illinois and the nation, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has been quietly expanding its footprint by acquiring U.S. farmland. According to 2023 data from the USDA, Chinese investors now own approximately 277,336 acres of American agricultural land. While that number may seem modest, the trend is accelerating—and raising serious national security concerns.
In response, U.S. Representative Mary Miller (R‑Quincy), a member of the House Agriculture Committee, recently introduced H.R.… Continue Reading

On July 22, 2025, the Committee on House Administration held a hearing titled, “Clean Rolls, Secure Elections: Reviewing Voter List Maintenance Standards.” The hearing focused on the importance of maintaining accurate voter registration lists to protect the integrity of our elections.
The National Voter Registration Act of 1993 (NVRA), also known as the “Motor Voter Law,” was designed to increase voter participation in federal elections while also requiring states to maintain accurate and up-to-date voter rolls.… Continue Reading

As we all know by now, President Donald J. Trump signed into law the One Big Beautiful Bill—a much-needed course correction for a nation in moral and economic decline. This bold legislation champions the dignity of work, the sanctity of family, and the duty of government to serve—not control—its citizens. By providing tax relief to working families, protecting the preborn by defunding abortion mills, and easing the burden on struggling seniors, this bill aligns with biblical principles of stewardship, justice, and compassion.… Continue Reading

It is unfortunately unsurprising that yet another school district in Illinois has defied the clear privacy and safety protections that Title IX puts in place.
Illinois School District 203, located in Naperville, is currently in the spotlight for allowing a biological male to participate in the female’s track meet.
Not only was the biological male allowed to participate in this athletic event, but he (surprise, surprise) won the track meet.
This should, of course, come as no surprise to those of us who acknowledge a basic biological fact which states that biological males have distinct physical advantages over biological females.… Continue Reading

Back in 2021, Governor Pritzker signed HB121, SB667, SB1596, and SB2665 into law. All four of these pieces of legislation enshrined into law Illinois’ stance on immigration as being one of the most welcoming in the entire nation.
The new laws strengthen the TRUST Act and make Illinois the second state in the nation to require local officials to end partnerships with ICE, address hate crimes against immigrant communities, expand workplace protections for Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) recipients, and create the Illinois Immigration Impact Task Force to ensure state programs and policies best serve immigrant residents.

As previously noted, the IHSA (Illinois High School Association) is in hot water due to their dedication to allowing biological men to occupy girls’ spaces and compete in girls’ sports.
While the IHSA currently remains unmoved, U. S. Representative Mary Miller (IL-15) is doubling down on her calls for investigations into the IHSA to take place.
She recently told Fox News Digital,
“The Illinois High School Association has crossed a dangerous line.

Written by Alyssa Sonnenburg
The IHSA (Illinois High School Association) has doubled down on its dedication to allow biological males to compete in girls’ sports.
Not only is IHSA’s decision a violation of President Trump’s February 5 Executive Order, “Keeping Men Out of Women’s Sports,” but it is also a clear indication of one thing:
The IHSA will gladly sacrifice the privacy and safety of your daughters on the altar of radical gender ideology.
Because of the IHSA’s egregious violation of morality and biology, U.S.… Continue Reading

Did you know that the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act (PWFA) includes coverage for the cost of abortions and abortion-related services?
The PWFA, which went into effect on June 27, 2023, was originally intended to provide pregnant workers with reasonable accommodations due to their pregnancy.
“Generally, the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act (PWFA) requires a covered employer to provide a ‘reasonable accommodation’ to a qualified employee’s or applicant’s known limitations related to, affected by, or arising out of pregnancy, childbirth, or related medical conditions, unless the accommodation will cause the employer an ‘undue hardship.’”

Transgender ideology has wreaked havoc across America.
Biological men, claiming to be women, have insisted on infiltrating women’s restrooms, locker rooms, and sports.
Because of the radical policies allowing this infiltration, women’s privacy was revoked, championships were lost, and opportunities were ripped away.
However, consequences of this ideology have been even more severe than this. The infiltration of men into women’s spaces has led to egregious violent acts.
In January of 2024, NBC New York reported on an incident where a biological male, claiming to be a woman, sexually violated a female prisoner on Riker’s Island.… Continue Reading
