					<description><![CDATA[<p><em>Written by Terence P. Jeffrey</em></p>
<p>&#8220;Let&#8217;s talk about the deficit.&#8221;</p>
<p>That is what U.S. Senate Minority Leader <strong>Chuck Schumer</strong> (D-NY) said on the Senate floor on Monday, June 2.</p>
<p>&#8220;For years, Republicans screamed about fiscal responsibility. But now Republicans are backing a bill that could add over $50 trillion to the national debt over 30 years,&#8221; Schumer claimed — without citing a source — in a speech about the One Big Beautiful Bill Act.</p>
<p>&#8220;Senate Democrats,&#8221; he said, &#8220;will fight this bill in committee, on the floor, and in the court of public opinion every step, every day, and every possible way.&#8221;&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2025/06/rand-paul-is-right-about-the-debt/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[<p><em>Written by Daniel Horowitz</em></p>
<p>In the words of sudden country music sensation <strong>Oliver Anthony</strong>, “You weren’t born to just pay bills and die.” Yet unless we stop the debt-driven inflation and the Federal Reserve scam used to perpetuate it, we won’t even be able to pay all the bills we work our entire lives to afford.</p>
<p>Inflation is back with a vengeance, despite the quickest rise in interest rates ever and despite the choking off of the M2 money supply.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2023/08/record-debt-and-inflation-from-the-rich-men-north-of-richmond-2/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p><span class="css-901oao css-16my406 r-poiln3 r-bcqeeo r-qvutc0" style="color: #000000;">Governor <strong>Sarah Huckabee Sanders</strong> (R-AR) gave the official Republican response to President <strong>Joe Biden</strong>’s State of the Union on Tuesday night. She rightly pointed out that the dividing line in America is between normal and crazy. In fact she used the word &#8220;crazy&#8221; three times. </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">While pundits are analyzing and parsing both speeches, they seem to be glancing over how Gov. Sanders may have laid the foundation for impeaching President Biden when she said, </span></p>

					<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>
