<p>As we all know by now, President <strong>Donald J. Trump</strong> signed into law the <em data-start="172" data-end="196">One Big Beautiful Bill</em>—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 <a href="https://www.foxbusiness.com/politics/how-does-big-beautiful-bill-help-middle-class-taxpayers" target="_blank" rel="noopener">tax relief to working families</a>, protecting the preborn by <a href="https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/pro-life-leaders-give-thanks-for-historic-victory-as-congress-defunds-planned-parenthood/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">defunding abortion mills</a>, and <a href="https://amac.us/newsline/society/big-tax-breaks-ahead-for-seniors-thanks-to-one-big-beautiful-bill-heres-what-you-need-to-know/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">easing the burden on struggling seniors</a>, this bill aligns with biblical principles of stewardship, justice, and compassion.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2025/07/ted-cruz-12-wins-in-the-one-big-beautiful-bill/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[<p data-sourcepos="1:1-1:288"><em>Written by David E. Smith</em></p>
<p data-sourcepos="1:1-1:288">Last Friday afternoon, Attorney General <strong>Merrick Garland</strong> <a href="https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/appointment-special-counsel-2" target="_blank" rel="noopener">announced</a> that he had named Delaware U.S. Attorney <strong>David Weiss</strong> as special counsel to continue the investigation into Hunter Biden “as well as any matters that arose from that investigation or may arise from the Special Counsel’s investigation.” This appointment has been <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/alan-dershowitz-ag-garlands-weiss-appointment-in-hunter-biden-case-is-illegal" target="_blank" rel="noopener">criticized as illegal</a> by many, including liberal Harvard Law School professor <strong>Alan Dershowitz</strong>.</p>
<p data-sourcepos="1:1-1:288">George Washington University Law Professor <strong>Jonathan Turley</strong> is also <a href="https://jonathanturley.org/2023/08/13/shoeless-joe-and-the-fixing-of-the-biden-scandal/comment-page-2/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">on record</a> in a column for <em>The Hill</em> pointing out significant problems with the appointment:</p>
<blockquote>
<p data-sourcepos="1:1-1:288">This is, after all, the same Weiss who headed an investigation that <a href="https://thehill.com/opinion/criminal-justice/4065497-who-is-lying-merrick-garland-or-the-whistleblowers/#:~:text=Shapley%20and%20another%20whistleblower%20detail,questioning%2C%20and%20even%20attempted%20indictments." target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">was trashed by whistleblowers</a>, who alleged that his investigation had been fixed from the outset.</p></blockquote>&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2023/08/biden-administration-provides-cover-for-hunter-investigation/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a>]]></description>
