<p><strong>President Donald Trump</strong>’s <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/videos/president-trump-delivers-an-address-to-the-nation-jul-16-2026/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">prime-time address</a> this week presents a timely opportunity to launch a genuine national, bipartisan effort to strengthen election integrity. Unfortunately, top Democratic officials and their allies in the dishonest media have already rushed to criticize the president, dismissing his concerns about voter fraud and election meddling as “false” or “unsubstantiated.”</p>

					<description><![CDATA[<p><em>Written by Robert Knight</em></p>
<p>Neurological science is catching up with the tech revolution. Our brains, a growing body of research shows, are sitting ducks for the stimuli found on cellphones, social media and computer screens, making us want even more.</p>
<p>The 24/7 news feed makes it tough to relax when a crisis is always going on somewhere, and we can engage in “doom scrolling.” Our bodies emit “fight or flight” chemicals when we feel endangered, anxious or stressed.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2025/12/hooked-by-design-the-neuroscience-behind-doomscrolling/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[<p><em>Written by Robert Knight</em></p>
<p>If there were any doubt that the COVID-19 pandemic exposed widespread corruption in America’s health care establishment, a federal lawsuit should put it to rest.</p>
<p>Filed by the attorneys general of Missouri and Louisiana, <em>Murthy v. Missouri</em> accuses the Biden administration of censoring medical views it dislikes.</p>
<p>So, what did the American Medical Association do? The doctors guild lined up with the censors in an amicus brief.</p>
<p>That’s right. It’s their way or the highway, science be damned.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2024/02/covid-19-government-censorship-how-big-med-operates/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>Like green shoots poking up through snow in early spring, more signs of resistance are emerging every day.</p>
<p>We may be witnessing a massive rejection of the grim future fashioned for us by ruling elites, whose narrative of radical change is collapsing.</p>
<p>Americans are not buying what they’re selling.</p>
<p>They told us to endure endless rounds of COVID-19 shots, which are not only ineffective but may be harmful. Pfizer and Moderna stocks have plummeted because Americans have weighed the outcomes and gone natural.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2024/01/americans-are-not-buying-liberals-narrative/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>My son and I attended one of the Washington Nationals’ last home games and were walking back to his vehicle when we saw a strange sight.</p>
<p>It was a guy pushing a grocery cart full of goods down the sidewalk toward us at top speed, accompanied by a young woman who was laughing. Two clerks from a CVS store came around the corner and began screaming, “Stop them!”</p>
<p>Just then, a police car sped by in hot pursuit with lights flashing.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2023/10/the-wages-of-moral-confusion-when-lawlessness-replaces-ordered-liberty/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><strong><span style="background-color: #ffff99;">WARNING:</span> This article contains information that some readers may find disturbing regarding child abuse and sexual violence.</strong></span></p>
<p>Very few people realize that the reason children today are being sexualized at school is because pedophiles sexually abused hundreds of children, then claimed that the victims enjoyed it. That’s a fact, and the documents prove it.</p>
<p>In government schools all across the United States today, young children are literally being encouraged to experiment with fornication, masturbation, sodomy, oral sex, and all manner of sexual activities.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2020/04/the-sordid-history-and-deadly-consequences-of-sex-ed-at-school/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>
