<p>On Monday, Jan. 6, Congress will convene to certify the 2024 reelection of former President Donald Trump. Jan. 6, 2025, marks the fourth anniversary of the Capitol riot that Democrats and their media still falsely portray as an “insurrection.”</p>
<p>Hundreds of Trump supporters gathered at the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, after Mr. Trump spoke to a crowd. Among other things, he said:</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>

<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>Not long ago, Snopes, a left-wing &#8220;fact-checking&#8221; site, finally admitted that <strong>Donald Trump</strong> had never called the neo-Nazis who marched at the Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville in 2017 &#8220;very fine people.&#8221;</p>
<p>For years, Democrats, including President <strong>Joe Biden</strong>, have repeated this false claim. Indeed, Biden, who&#8217;s been running for the presidency since 1987, ludicrously told the press in 2019 that the events in Charlottesville, and Trump&#8217;s alleged reaction, inspired him to run in 2020.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2024/06/theres-a-charlottesville-every-week-and-joe-biden-is-fine-with-it/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>The number of illegal immigrants crossing the southern border continues at a frightening rate, and the Biden Administration continues to pretend it isn&#8217;t a major problem. Meanwhile, the persisting surge has only served to increase havoc in border states and big cities across the nation.</p>
<p>There is no question about it: the Biden Administration has encouraged this border crisis <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2020/12/13/us/border-crossing-migrants-biden.html?searchResultPosition=2" target="_blank" rel="noopener">from the very beginning</a> of his term.  Almost four years later, <a href="https://news.gallup.com/poll/470426/americans-showing-increased-concern-immigration.aspx" target="_blank" rel="noopener">voters are increasingly worried</a> about illegal immigration and the loss of our American identity.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2024/04/7000-percent-spike-in-chinese-immigrants-crossing-border/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[<p><em>Written by Robert Knight</em></p>
<p><strong>Sigmund Freud</strong>, the founder of psychoanalysis, chronicled neurotic disorders, including “projection” and other psychological defense mechanisms.</p>
<p>Projection occurs when someone projects their own feelings, motives, behaviors and thoughts onto others. It’s a way of coping with one’s own insecurities and to blame one’s problems on others.</p>
<p>Another Freudian concept is denial. That’s when someone dismisses external reality and formulates his or her own “truth.”</p>
<p>Both disorders are not only rampant among America’s political left but have become tools in their war on common sense, truth and decency.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2024/01/projection-and-denial-thats-the-biden-way/" 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>There is a good chance that you, like most of us, have become numb to the news of corruption, scandal, allegations of wrongdoing, and Congressional investigations. It is obvious to even the most casual observer, Democrats in Washington D.C. have weaponized the government to punish and dissuade anyone who threatens their despotism. Of course, you will never hear the drive-by media phrase it that honestly.</p>
<p>This is why we think it is important to call your attention to a development that many could have missed regarding the Biden family.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2023/07/irs-whistleblower-accuses-doj-of-obstruction-perjury/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[<p><em>Written by Robert Knight</em></p>
<p>Here’s a brief quiz. What do all these events have in common?</p>
<p>Special counsel <strong>John Durham</strong>’s long-awaited report leaves no doubt that <strong>Hillary Clinton</strong>’s campaign facilitated the Russian collusion hoax “to vilify <strong>Donald Trump</strong>” during and after the 2016 presidential election cycle. The corrupt FBI leadership validated the scheme, which led to the first Trump impeachment. Democratic U.S. Representative <strong>Adam Schiff</strong> of California lied over and over to keep the hoax going.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2023/05/exposing-moral-evil-and-defrocking-those-who-weaponize-the-law/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>In the space of a week, we saw three children and three adults executed at a Christian school in Nashville, the indictment of former President <strong>Donald Trump</strong>, and the advent of the national “Transgender Day of Visibility.”</p>
<p>We also saw the current White House occupant awkwardly joking at length about his love of ice cream before addressing the Nashville massacre. The word “inappropriate” is wildly inadequate. Within moments, he segued into a gun control rant.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2023/04/intimidation-101-from-trump-to-transgender-mania-leftists-war-on-america-is-intensifying/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>The easiest layup in proving the &#8220;mainstream media&#8221; is hyperpartisan is to study how they cover congressional hearings. After two years of obsessive media promotion and congratulation and live coverage of the Pelosi-picked panel on Jan. 6, the network &#8220;newscasts&#8221; can&#8217;t locate a hearing now with two hands.</p>
<p>On March 1, the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee questioned Biden administration Attorney General <strong>Merrick Garland</strong> for the first time in the new Congress. The hearing was not devoid of newsworthiness.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2023/03/congressional-hearings-about-team-biden-die-in-darkness/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>Don’t look now, but the resistance to woke tyranny is rising rapidly, and not just in the United States.</p>
<p>Scottish First Minister <strong>Nicola Sturgeon</strong> resigned on Wednesday after eight years in office. A leftist and climate change extremist, she opposed Brexit while leading the fight for Scottish independence from Britain.</p>
<p>During her tenure, according to the <em>Daily Mail</em>, Scottish life expectancy plunged, drug deaths doubled, alcohol deaths increased, schools continued failing, and Scots were worse off economically than when she took office.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2023/02/pushback-against-woke-agenda-happening-around-the-world/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>The divisions in our country go far beyond conservative versus liberal or Republican versus Democrat. Not that the parties are unimportant. More on that in a minute.</p>
<p>It’s right versus wrong and whether we’ll be able to pass on America’s heritage of liberty and prosperity to our children and grandchildren.</p>
<p>One side — the progressive, Marxist left — wants to expand government to intrude into every human activity except one: sexuality. For that, they seek to eradicate all moral, cultural and legal restraints.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2023/01/democrats-appalling-vote-against-life-on-u-s-house-floor/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>We’ve had a very serious setback this last week in the cause of freedom, courtesy of a dozen “woke” Republican senators. But first, we’ll begin with a bit of pop culture that speaks to where we are as a nation.</p>
<p>Sad to say, <strong>Mariah Carey</strong> won’t be able to trademark “Queen of Christmas.” Yes, in time, we will get over this.</p>
<p>The ubiquitous songbird, whose “All I Want for Christmas Is You” is piped everywhere, tried to monopolize the title legally.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2022/11/christmas-queens-and-the-oxymoronically-named-respect-for-marriage-act/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>Lots of things today don’t pass the straight face test.</p>
<p>President <strong>Joe Biden</strong> says the main danger to “democracy” is the “semi-fascist” half of the country that doesn’t vote Democrat. He continues to insist that “white supremacists” pose more of a security threat than <a href="chrome-extension://oknpjjbmpnndlpmnhmekjpocelpnlfdi/topics/china/">China</a>, Russia, Iran and the homegrown goons attacking churches and crisis pregnancy centers.</p>
<p>On Thursday, standing in front of two U.S. Marines, he said, “Donald Trump and the MAGA Republicans represent an extremism that threatens the very foundations of our republic.”&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2022/09/2-informed-voters-and-honest-elections-are-lefts-worst-nightmare/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>On Wednesday, Aug. 10, <strong>Merrick Garland</strong>, the United States Attorney General, confidently strutted to the national podium and asserted, “No person is above the law in this country. I can’t say it any more clearly than that.” He then went further: “There is nothing … which prevents us from investigating anyone — anyone — who’s criminally responsible …”</p>

					<description><![CDATA[<p><em>Written by Robert Knight</em></p>
<p>When the Soviet Union existed — 1917 to 1991 — its hapless citizens resorted to dark humor in the face of constant lies.</p>
<p>Open defiance could land them in the Siberian gulag or a KGB torture chamber in a dank basement near the Kremlin. So they learned to joke among themselves about absurd government claims, such as <em>Pravda</em> insisting that the economy was surging and the collective farms overflowing with food.</p>
<p>Here are a couple of typical Soviet jests:</p>

<p class="">In May of 2018, a nurse at the University of Vermont Medical Center (UVMMC) was called into the operating room to assist with a “surgery.” Upon arrival, she discovered that the “surgery” she had been called in to help with was in fact an abortion and that she had been lied to. Although she was on the hospital’s list of conscientious objectors who had made clear to the hospital that they were morally opposed to abortion and there were other nurses available who were not on the list, UVMMC staff refused to call in a replacement and she was faced with losing her job and possibly her license if she refused to participate.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2021/08/the-abortion-lobbys-evolving-demands-from-my-body-my-choice-to-my-choice-that-you-must-pay-for-and-commit/" 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. Absolutely.”&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2021/03/equity-is-a-mandate-to-discriminate/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>For the past decade, I&#8217;ve been trying to <a href="https://www.theblaze.com/conservative-review/busted-the-10-most-dangerous-myths-about-criminal-justice-reform" target="_self" rel="noopener noreferrer" data-ol-has-click-handler="">raise awareness</a> about the harms of the weak-on-crime policies being advocated by both parties. As crime continues to surge, even the most violent career criminals are released on little or no bail, a growing phenomenon that is responsible for most of the violent crimes committed in the country. The insipid mantra of the de-incarceration crowd is that we shouldn&#8217;t lock people up for low-level offenses.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2021/02/as-criminals-take-advantage-of-hands-off-justice-dystem-feds-clamp-down-on-political-prisoners/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>As the American political world gears up for what promises to be one of the most acrimonious, bitter, and embarrassing confirmation hearings in the history of the federal judiciary, I&#8217;m curious if anyone has picked up on a common theme when it comes to these reputation desecrations we call senatorial &#8220;advise and consent.&#8221;</p>
<p>Out of sheer curiosity I conducted an informal, and extraordinarily unscientific survey of a small group of 5 politically aware colleagues and friends.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2020/09/this-only-happens-when-republicans-nominate-judges/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[<p><em>Written by Peter Heck</em></p>
<p>There’s a developing tendency on the right when discussing the current presidential race to regard former Vice President <strong>Joe Biden</strong> as “at least a decent and honest guy.” He isn’t a communist like Bernie, that’s true. And he isn’t a congenital liar who deceives others for profit and power like Warren. Or isn’t he?</p>
<p>That’s the question that I think it’s important for conservatives to answer as we border on making Vice President Biden a palatable choice in the race for president.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2020/03/lets-stop-pretending-biden-is-a-virtuous-man/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>The U.S. Supreme Court’s longest serving justice announced his retirement shortly after casting the deciding vote on a string of decisions that were seen as wins for the conservative side of the bench. Kennedy’s stepping down didn’t come as a surprise. There have long been rumors in Washington that he was considering hanging up his robe. With a Republican-controlled Congress and White House, the timing couldn’t be better, so as to ensure his seat would be filled with someone from the right side of the ideological spectrum.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2018/07/good-riddance-to-justice-anthony-kennedy/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p><em>Written by Jon Schweppe</em></p>
<p>Generally, the first 50 days of the Trump Administration have been an absolute joy to watch. The media and the Left have been apoplectic as President <strong>Donald J. Trump</strong> largely honors his campaign promises and does exactly what he said he would do. Truthfully, Trump has been everything we hoped he would be and more.</p>
<p>Still, that’s not to say there haven’t been some disappointments. Here are four things I like and two things I dislike from the first 50 days:</p>

<p><em>Written by Ilya Shapiro</em></p>
<p>Plenty of libertarians were wary of seeing former Massachusetts governor <strong>Bill Weld</strong> as the Libertarian Party’s nominee for vice president. Even those of us who haven’t had anything to do with the LP would like to see the party represented by, you know, libertarians. Weld, who seems like a nice man and was apparently a <a href="http://www.cato.org/blog/cato-fiscal-grades-gary-johnson-william-weld">decent governor</a>, is the living expositor of the difference between a libertarian and someone who’s “socially liberal and fiscally conservative.”&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2016/08/is-johnson-weld-a-libertarian-ticket/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p><em>Written by Gary L. Bauer</em></p>
<p>At the White House this morning, President Obama announced his nominee for the U.S. Supreme Court &#8212; Judge <strong>Merrick Garland</strong> of the Circuit Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia.</p>
<p>The media are dutifully attempting to spin Garland as a &#8220;centrist&#8221; or a &#8220;consensus choice.&#8221; Consider this headline from the <em>Los Angeles Times:</em> &#8220;It&#8217;s Going To Be Hard For Conservatives To Oppose The Careful, Moderate Merrick Garland.&#8221;</p>
