<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>Remember when Democrats proposed in their multi-trillion spendathon that the IRS would track all transactions of $600 or more in personal bank accounts?</p>
<p>Well, they took a licking from the public, so they upped it to a still-absurd $10,000 in total yearly transactions.</p>
<p>This means they want the IRS prowling into bank accounts of everyone who has either deposits or withdrawals over an entire year totaling $10,000 or more, excluding wage income.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2021/11/leftists-believe-that-all-our-earnings-like-our-children-belong-to-the-government/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[<p><em>Written by Lt. Col. Allen B. West</em></p>
<p>[Over the summer], MSNBC host and former U.S. Congressman from Florida <strong>Joe Scarborough</strong> said on a late night talk show that he was no longer a Republican. Scarborough admitted that he would be registering as an Independent. This is the same Joe Scarborough who came of age in the constitutional conservative ideological legislative revolution of one <strong>Newt Gingrich</strong> and his “Contract with America”. Of course, these days there are many folks changing their party affiliations to Independent.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2017/09/what-does-it-mean-to-be-a-republican/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>
