<p>You just knew when anti-U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement protester <strong>Renee Good</strong> tragically died in Minneapolis on Jan. 7 that the media would turn her into the next <strong>George Floyd</strong>.</p>
<p>Floyd, whose asphyxiation death under the knee of a police officer triggered the 2020 anti-police riots that took at least 25 lives and caused $2 billion in damage, has since been virtually deified. Minneapolis has named a square after him and erected a “living memorial” featuring art installations, including a raised-fist sculpture, in his honor.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2026/01/the-media-is-repeating-the-george-floyd-playbook/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[<p><em>Written by Robert Knight</em></p>
<p>If you still doubt whether elections have consequences, the U.S. Supreme Court <a href="https://illinoisfamily.org/homosexuality/scotus-ruling-protects-children-from-dangerous-gender-ideology/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">ruling on a Tennessee statute</a> last week should clarify things.</p>
<p>In a 6-3 ruling, the high court upheld a state law protecting minors from transgender experimentation that includes puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones and, in some cases, surgical removal of healthy body parts. In other words, permanent child abuse.</p>
<p>All six of the Republican-appointed justices voted in <a href="https://illinoisfamily.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/United-States-v-Skrmetti.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><em>United States v. Skrmetti</em></a> to protect children and reject radical transgender ideology.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2025/06/gop-must-tie-all-democrats-to-the-partys-radical-policies-and-appointees/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[<p><em>Written by Robert Knight</em></p>
<p>For the past couple of weeks, aside from bashing President Trump over tariffs, the media have been fixated on an illegal immigrant deported to El Salvador.</p>
<p><strong>Kilmar Abrego Garcia</strong>, who had been living in Maryland, is reputedly a member of the MS-13 gang, a U.S. government-designated foreign terrorist organization. He was summarily shipped off to his home country. Cue the outrage.</p>
<p>The Democratic Party and the media, in lockstep, have made this the case of the century.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2025/04/selective-due-process-concerns-exposes-medias-hypocrisy/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>The Corporation for Public Broadcasting is in the news again.</p>
<p>Kermit the Frog, the iconic “Sesame Street” Muppet, will give the 2025 commencement address at the University of Maryland.</p>
<p>Kermit’s appearance will coincide with the 65th anniversary of the graduation of UM’s <strong>Jim Henson</strong>, who was awarded a degree in home economics in 1960. In a press release, “Kermit” said he would keep the address upbeat, even though, as he put it, “It’s hard to be green.”&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2025/04/will-the-gop-finally-end-pbs-and-npr-subsidies/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>Lasting political change doesn&#8217;t come from winning elections but reshaping institutions.</p>
<p>On Feb. 26, <strong>Jeff Bezos</strong>, the founder of Amazon and owner of <em>The Washington Post</em>, issued a stunning announcement.</p>
<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m writing to let you know about a change coming to our opinion pages,&#8221; he wrote on X. &#8220;We are going to be writing every day in support and defense of two pillars: personal liberties and free markets.&#8221;</p>
<p>Yes, that&#8217;s the same <em>Washington Post</em> editorial board that attacked <strong>Donald Trump</strong> last year for promising tax cuts and reduced regulations.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2025/03/the-importance-of-retaking-institutions/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<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>

					<description><![CDATA[<p><em>Written by Tim Graham</em></p>
<p><strong>Joe Biden</strong> may still hold the office of President of the United States, but the media are treating him like he&#8217;s anything but a newsmaker. For much of Biden&#8217;s presidency, reporters were much more energized to cover the apparent menace of <strong>Donald Trump</strong> than agitate the officials that were always hiding Biden. Now he seems invisible.</p>
<p>On Dec. 15, the president spoke to a Democratic National Committee holiday party. Any reporter would expect a pep talk, with all the echoes of &#8220;we&#8217;ll get them next time.&#8221;&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2024/12/the-invisible-president-lies-without-consequence/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>The numbers speak for themselves. MSNBC is suffering through a ratings catastrophe as the disillusioned loyalists, who kept believing the network&#8217;s stable of left-wing hosts who continued to promise that Trump was an unelectable Hitler, have walked away.</p>

<p>One of the first things President-elect <strong>Donald Trump</strong> says he will do when he returns to the Oval Office is close and disband the Department of Education. He said:</p>
<blockquote><p>“We are going to send all education, [along with its corresponding] work and needs, back to the states. We want them [i.e., the states] to run the education of our children because they’ll do a much better job of it. … We spend more money per pupil, by three times, than any other nation, and yet we are [approaching] the bottom; we’re one of the worst.</p></blockquote>&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2024/11/trump-should-keep-his-promise-to-scrap-department-of-education/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a>]]></description>

<p>Democratic vice presidential candidate <strong>Tim Walz</strong> has doubled down on his extremist agenda for LGBTQ youth.</p>
<p>The man who, as a teacher, launched a gay-straight alliance group in his school went on to use his power as governor of Minnesota to push the transgender agenda in full force.</p>
<p>He issued an executive order last year and signed a law making Minnesota what the measure’s supporters call a “trans refuge state.”</p>
<p>Critics rightly interpreted this as an anti-parent bill aimed at bringing in minors from other states who request puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones and surgery.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2024/10/divisive-transgender-sleeper-issue-may-cost-democrats-votes/" 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>There is never a level playing field in an American election. For example, the two major political parties have major advantages that third parties can&#8217;t muster. Another example is the major Democratic Party advantage of the home-team announcers calling the action on the playing field. Our national media set the terms and the tone of our democracy.</p>
<p>The pro-Democrat tilt of every election comes to mind when the pseudo-conservative <strong>Alyssa Farah Griffin</strong> gushed on ABC&#8217;s &#8220;The View&#8221; on Sept.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2024/09/media-bias-makes-it-easier-to-run-a-flawless-campaign/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<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>On the same day that President <strong>Joe Biden</strong> implied Jan. 6 was a darker day than 9/11 and Pearl Harbor, leftist protesters fought and shoved police and burned the American flag near the Capitol. They pulled down the American flag and replaced it with the Palestinian flag. Some flew the Hamas flag and vandalized monuments with spray-painted slogans like &#8220;Hamas is comin'&#8221; and &#8220;I commend Hamas.&#8221;</p>
<p>The occasion was Israeli Prime Minister <strong>Benjamin Netanyahu</strong> speaking to a joint session of Congress.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2024/07/sanitizing-violent-flag-burning-pro-hamas-protesters/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>The national media consider themselves essential in educating the electorate, so what happens when the electorate does not consider them a trustworthy guardian of democracy?</p>
<p>The Associated Press and the American Press Institute just released a poll on the 2024 election and found only 14% of their sample expressed &#8220;a great deal of confidence in election-related information they receive from national sources.&#8221; By contrast, 46% have little or no confidence at all in the information they receive from national news organizations.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2024/05/little-trust-for-the-democracy-saving-media/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>Recent events give new meaning to the term “trumped-up charges.”</p>
<p>A Democratic New York State Supreme Court justice, in cahoots with a Democratic state attorney general, has written a new chapter in the book of political <a href="https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2024/feb/23/conservatives-hit-with-massive-legal-judgments-for/"><strong>lawfare</strong></a>.</p>
<p>With no victims, no client complaints and no evidence of fraud, Judge <strong>Arthur Engoron</strong> nonetheless levied a $354 million fine against former President <strong>Donald Trump</strong> for the crime of doing business in the Democratic jurisdiction of New York.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2024/02/conservatives-hit-with-massive-legal-judgments-for-exercising-free-speech/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>Is President <strong>Joe Biden</strong> treating the press better than former President <strong>Donald Trump</strong> did? It&#8217;s a low bar to argue he doesn&#8217;t describe the media as &#8220;enemies of the people.&#8221; Is he really treating them as they view themselves — as representatives of the people? Or is he not interested in addressing the people? Are they all too negative?</p>
<p><strong>Ben Smith</strong> at <a href="https://www.semafor.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><em>Semafor.com</em></a> reported on the White House holiday party for journalists, described as a chance &#8220;to dispel his main problem with the U.S.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2023/12/biden-and-the-press-is-he-the-bumper-bowling-president/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>Inside the silo of the &#8220;legacy media,&#8221; they are alarmed that left-tilting government bureaucrats are being discouraged from telling social media platforms what speech they should suppress &#8230; in the name of &#8220;democracy.&#8221;</p>
<p>In 2020, these platforms crushed damaging stories about <strong>Hunter Biden</strong> and &#8220;conspiracy theories&#8221; about COVID emerging from a Chinese lab. It doesn&#8217;t matter now that the &#8220;suppressed&#8221; side was correct, and the &#8220;misinformation&#8221; actually came from the Left. <em>The Washington Post</em> expressed alarm under the headline: &#8220;U.S.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2023/12/the-media-mourn-end-of-biden-big-tech-censorship-partnership/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>As you watch hundreds of thousands of military-age men storming the southern U.S. border, your eyes should be trained more on our cities than on the border itself. That is where all these criminal and belligerent elements are settling — and where they are changing our culture, society, and security for the worse.</p>
<p>What we are witnessing is the counterintuitive immorality of the open-border left on display in real time, as we allow our cities to become the very hellholes from which leftists supposedly want to save migrants.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2023/11/what-the-border-invasion-is-doing-to-americas-cities/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<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>As the evidence of impeachment-worthy Biden family corruption piles up, so do the absurd defenses mounted by Democrats and their media allies.</p>
<p><em>The Washington Post</em>, which has not returned its ill-gotten Pulitzer for ginning up the false “Russian collusion” narrative against former President <strong>Donald Trump</strong>, is charging that the congressional inquiry into the Bidens is merely political gamesmanship.</p>
<p>“Republicans cheapen a vital power of the House,” a <em>Post</em> editorial headline proclaimed Thursday.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2023/09/dems-and-news-media-allies-test-the-limits-of-denial-on-biden-family-corruption/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>Yes, a few words can reveal all you need to know about someone’s character or motives.</p>
<p>A case in point is Treasury Secretary <strong>Janet Yellen</strong>. In a column on Wednesday for <em>The Wall Street Journal</em>, she told at least two easily rebutted whoppers.</p>
<p>Here’s the first: “With the Inflation Reduction Act, we are delivering on what I call ‘modern supply-side economics,’” she wrote.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2023/08/liberals-climate-agenda-brings-out-the-gaslighting/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>Off the main roads, where all you see are cornfields, farms, cows, horses and an occasional buggy, it’s easy to forget the predatory culture that has eclipsed normal American life in most other places.</p>
<p>A peaceful spirit animates the countryside inhabited by the Amish, a growing sect in Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia, Ohio, Indiana, Wisconsin, and more than two dozen other states.</p>
<p>“English” visitors, which is what the Amish call everyone else, seem to sense that they should behave better.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2023/08/biden-scandal-will-have-us-looking-to-the-amish-for-help/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>Did you know that debating issues in Congress is part of the culture war and is bad for democracy?</p>
<p>That’s what <em>The Washington Post</em> (motto: “Democracy Dies in Darkness”) implied in its front-page story after the Republican-led House approved the National Defense Authorization Act in a 219-210 party-line vote.</p>
<p>The bill authorizes an $886 billion defense budget and rolls back some of the Democrats’ schemes aimed at turning America into a Marxist version of Sodom and Gomorrah.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2023/07/yes-the-culture-war-is-real-and-democrats-started-it/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>If nothing else comes of the Los Angeles Dodgers’ bizarre embrace of the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, it is striking evidence that a false religion is out of control.</p>
<p>Virtually all major league sports teams and dozens of minor league teams have caved to the LGBTQ religionists. “Pride” events dominate June, formerly known for weddings and Father’s Day. Talk about cultural appropriation.</p>
<p><em>The Washington Post</em> recently devoted an entire Religion page to two articles bashing “Christian nationalism.”&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2023/06/lgbtqs-false-religion-paints-in-rainbow-colors-of-sexual-anarchy-and-criminalization-of-dissent/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>The “wet market” theory, which never made sense, is turning out to be all wet.

<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>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>“Mainstream” media doesn’t find these things worth pursuing.</p>
<p>Thanks to an exhaustive investigative analysis by <em>The Washington Post</em>, however, we now know how many parents — 38 — around the country have challenged <strong>Jonathan Evison</strong>’s book “Lawn Boy” in school libraries.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2023/01/the-controversy-surrounding-lawn-boy/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>When I was young and foolish, I went to see a horror movie one afternoon.</p>
<p>It was George Romero’s “Night of the Living Dead,” a black-and-white 1968 classic that is still quite terrifying.</p>
<p>The low-budget ($150,000) film is set in western Pennsylvania. It’s about some strangers who flee a growing mob of zombies and hole up in a farmhouse. The scariest scene is when a wounded woman, prone on a table, quietly turns into a zombie herself and attacks the people who had thought they were safe.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2022/12/american-cultures-sacrifice-of-children-for-perverted-wokeness/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>Imagine if the media had attacked new media owners <strong>Jeff Bezos</strong> or <strong>David Zaslav</strong> with the kind of venom that they&#8217;re using on Twitter owner <strong>Elon Musk</strong>.

<p>The polls are starting to show that a conservative “wave” may be forming after all for the midterm election. No kidding.</p>
<p>Somebody should tell <em>The Washington Post</em>. They reported on Oct. 10 that “Half of voters say climate change is important in midterms.” Sure it is. You keep thinking that way.</p>
<p>For weeks, media polls gave the impression that Democrats were an even bet to hold the U.S. House and U.S.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2022/10/ignore-the-polls/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>The news this week coming out of Maryland is that the state owns your children; you don’t. Your sons and daughters are Uncle Sam’s, not yours. Or perhaps more accurately, your children belong to Father Mao and Brother Stalin. They don’t belong to you.</p>
<p>Writing for <em>The Washington Post</em>, <strong>Jasmine Hilton</strong> reports the following:</p>
<blockquote><p>“A judge on Thursday dismissed a complaint against the Montgomery County school board by parents who alleged that the system’s student gender-identity guidelines violated their state and constitutional rights.”</p></blockquote>&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2022/08/your-children-are-literally-owned-by-big-brother-and-his-reeducation-camps/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a>]]></description>

<p>Once upon a time, Democrats were terrified that a power-mad White House would ignore the “will of the people.” They warned of dire consequences if the president did end-runs around the U.S. Congress.</p>
<p>That was between 2017 and 2021. They subverted the Trump presidency every way they could while he painted within constitutional lines. Now, with an eye on November, they are urging President Biden to go “beast mode.” He already has.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2022/08/impatient-democrats-hear-the-clock-ticking/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>More people than ever realize the media are gaslighting us. But I wonder if they know just how much.</p>
<p>You can lie with falsehoods or you can omit or obscure inconvenient facts. Just watch any “mainstream” media coverage of the Jan. 6 show trial. On second thought, why would you want to?</p>
<p>I thought about all this while reading the “Fact Checker” column by <strong>Glenn Kessler</strong> in <em>The Washington Post</em>.</p>

<p>Well, it’s official. The only cheap gasoline that President Biden seems to like is the stuff he keeps pouring on the bonfire of racial grievance politics.</p>
<p>“Evil will not win,” he said during his speech in Buffalo in the wake of the supermarket mass murder of mostly Black victims by an unhinged nutcase, white supremacist suspect. “We have to refuse to live in a country where fear and lies are packaged for power and profit.”&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2022/05/the-lefts-victim-mentality-and-diabolical-plot-to-divide-us-by-race/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>There are many column-worthy topics, but I’m going to limit this to the <strong>Hunter Biden</strong> laptop, President Biden’s troubling gaffes and Disney’s latest plunge into “wokeness.”</p>
<p><em>The Washington Post</em>, like <em>The New York Times</em>, has finally admitted the validity of Hunter Biden’s laptop 16 months after the New York Post broke the story. Like Big Tech, they suppressed it until after his father, Joe Biden, was safely ensconced in the White House.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2022/04/from-hunters-laptop-to-the-lgbtq-mouse-and-the-white-house/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>The same Rasmussen poll says 59 percent of Democrat voters approve the use of government power to confine unvaccinated people to their homes except in emergencies.</p>

<p>If you don’t go outside the legacy media, you might have missed a few important stories.</p>
<p>In New York, Democrat Gov. <strong>Kathy Hochul</strong> extended the COVID-19 “emergency” to March 16, even though the pandemic is running out of steam.</p>
<p>“The rate of new COVID-19 hospital admissions has been increasing over the past month to over 300 new admissions a day,” she said. But, as <em>The Wall Street Journal</em>’s <strong>Allysia Finley</strong> points out, “In fact, state data show that daily new hospital admissions fell to around 300 from 2,100 in early January.”&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2022/03/the-gulf-widens-between-democrats-truth-and-lies/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>There&#8217;s a second wave of media reaction to <strong>John Durham</strong>&#8216;s latest filing on the origins of the Trump-Russia investigation. The first wave was silence, hoping somehow the whole story would vanish. Now the second wave is &#8220;Explainers,&#8221; which attempt to hem and haw defensively through the whole business.</p>
<p>The Associated Press &#8220;Explainer&#8221; was headlined &#8220;<a href="https://wgntv.com/news/how-the-latest-trump-russia-filing-generated-buzz/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">How the latest Trump-Russia filing generated buzz</a>.&#8221; This article was sent to me on Twitter by a fellow who apparently hates <strong>Donald Trump</strong> with the energy of a thousand suns, so that illustrates the type of people who eagerly share these dismissive articles.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2022/02/explainer-articles-insist-nobody-spied-on-trump/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>If the lockstep media are good at anything, it’s repeating phrases out of context until they’re a mantra of shame.</p>
<p>This is done only to Republicans, of course. When Democrats commit awful misstatements, the media dismiss them as harmless “gaffes.”</p>
<p>By the way, if you think otherwise, you’re a “lying, dog-faced pony soldier,” as President <strong>Joe Biden</strong> said to a student. She was crushed, while the media gave Mr. Biden cover, saying he was only “joking.”&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2022/02/media-hostile-to-republicans-while-democrats-gaffes-ignored/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>In the name of “democracy,” Democrats want to get rid of our current system of government.</p>
<p>That’s no small thing, given that the Constitution has held up for 240 years — longer than any other. The founders’ design of a federal republic with representative decision-making and checks and balances has ensured unparalleled freedom and prosperity, unlike “democratic people’s” regimes worldwide.</p>
<p>Some liberals are so angry at U.S. Senator <strong>Joe Manchin</strong>, West Virginia Democrat, for capsizing Joe Biden’s $5 trillion socialist Build Back Better bill that they want to do away with the U.S.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2021/12/the-dark-side-of-the-lefts-tyrannical-democracy/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<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 style="padding-left: 40px;">Q: How does every Russian joke start?&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2021/11/laughing-at-all-of-the-democrats-lies/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>If we sat in a boardroom and tried to decide the kind of story that the liberal media is the most hostile to covering — hostile to the point of wishing it had never existed — it may be this: Teenage boy describing himself as &#8220;gender-fluid&#8221; accused of raping a girl in a high school bathroom.</p>
<p>This is a story that any liberal media outlet would want to spike, censor, ignore, squelch and bury six feet underground.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2021/10/the-teenage-girl-who-shall-not-be-mentioned-2/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[<p><em>Written by Robert Knight</em></p>
<p>Two recent opinion columns were eye catchers.</p>
<p>A <em>Wall Street Journal</em> piece by <strong>James Carville</strong> was headlined, “<a href="https://www.wsj.com/articles/democrats-are-the-anticrime-party-11622045951" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Democrats Are the Anticrime Party</a>.” Seriously?</p>
<p>The other, by <em>The Washington Post</em>’s <strong>Dana Milbank</strong>, said, “<a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2021/05/25/republicans-spent-anniversary-george-floyds-murder-trying-vote-down-black-woman/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The GOP’s fixation on race is on full display</a>.” Seriously?</p>
<p>Both men are undoubtedly familiar with the definition of “chutzpah.” It’s someone killing his parents and then falling on the mercy of the court on account of his being an orphan.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2021/06/the-lefts-chutzpah-knows-no-bounds/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[<p><em>Written by Robert Knight</em></p>
<p>We’re clearly living in a time of “doublethink.”</p>
<p>That’s when someone believes two mutually contradictory beliefs. The term comes from George Orwell’s novel “1984,” in which the government ruling party issued absurd dictums such as “War is Peace,” “Freedom is Slavery,” and “Ignorance is Strength.”</p>
<p>Anyone not going along with this was in for a rough time, including the novel’s protagonist, Winston Smith.</p>
<p>The psychological name for this is cognitive dissonance. One form of it is accepting as reality something that clearly conflicts with reason, sensory perception and common sense.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2021/05/parents-must-push-back-against-progressives-doublethink/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>Big Tech was on the hot seat again last Thursday.</p>
<p>Facebook CEO <strong>Mark Zuckerberg</strong>, Google CEO <strong>Sundar Pichai</strong> and Twitter CEO <strong>Jack Dorsey</strong> testified again before Congress, this time in the U.S. House Energy and Commerce Committee virtual hearing. The three men were the essence of cool. Nothing ruffled them. Well, almost.</p>
<p>In fact, their cool, almost robotic articulation was unsettling, though it contrasted well with what unfolded at the other big Washington event on Thursday — President Biden’s first press conference.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2021/03/big-techs-masters-of-the-universe-fueling-the-marxist-revolution-and-destroying-america/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>Liberals love to insist they&#8217;re on the &#8220;right side of history,&#8221; and their confidence crests in the liberal dominance among historians. Just as the liberal media dominate our evaluation of day-to-day developments, liberals count on their historians to dominate our evaluation of the decades behind us.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s not just historians but our taxpayer-funded storytellers, like the insufferable PBS documentarian <strong>Ken Burns</strong>. On the day before President-elect <strong>Joe Biden</strong>&#8216;s inauguration, NPR&#8217;s &#8220;Morning Edition&#8221; presented him as an American treasure with no partisan bias.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2021/01/beware-those-hysterical-historians/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>It may be Christmastime, but our ruling elites are keeping up their campaign of cultural cleansing.</p>
<p>Not even Honest Abe is safe.</p>
<p>In San Francisco, a committee tasked to rid the school system of now-disgraced public figures at 44 sites says that a high school named after Abraham Lincoln, who freed the slaves and held America together through the Civil War, ought to drop the Great Emancipator.</p>
<p>“Lincoln, like the presidents before him and most after, did not show through policy or rhetoric that Black lives ever mattered to them outside of human capital and as casualties of wealth building,” explained first-grade teacher Jeremiah Jeffries, chairman of the renaming committee.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2020/12/ruling-elites-continue-cultural-cleansing-rampage-and-not-even-honest-abe-is-safe/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p><em>Slanted </em>is the third book by <strong>Sharyl Attkisson</strong>, and as with her other two, it is a refreshing read.  It is nice to know that there are still independent journalists who put fact over opinion, and she is one of those.  To no one&#8217;s surprise, she talks about the shift in the news, from a focus on reporting the facts to more on trying to push a narrative on the American people.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2020/12/one-of-the-last-honest-reporters-speaks-out/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>A new U.S. Senate <a href="///C%3A/Users/rober/Downloads/HSGAC_Finance_Report_FINAL.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">report</a> exposes shocking corruption involving <strong>Hunter Biden</strong>, who made millions in Ukraine at the natural gas company, Burisma Holdings, when his father, Vice President <strong>Joe Biden</strong>, was President Obama’s Ukraine point man.</p>
<p>We’ve long known some of this, but the sheer scope of the influence peddling and sums involved are stunning.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2020/10/biden-corruption-runs-through-ukraine-russia-and-china/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[<p><em>Written by Tim Graham</em></p>
<p>Liberals are beginning to swagger around as if the 2020 election is already over. <strong>Eugene Robinson</strong> at <em>The Washington Post</em> exclaimed that President <strong>Donald Trump</strong>&#8216;s reelection campaign is &#8220;beginning to look like the Titanic.&#8221; <strong>Joe Biden</strong> should be preparing his inauguration remarks.</p>
<p>One reason for this arrogance is the absolutely punishing media coverage of Trump. The coronavirus pandemic did what some might have thought was impossible: made Trump coverage even more negative.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2020/06/the-medias-broadcast-brutality-against-trump/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>What would we do without virtue signalers instructing us about how hopelessly racist America is?</p>
<p>They’ve been out in force even more than usual since the tragic death of <strong>George Floyd</strong> and the riots that followed.  It’s hard to escape their false narrative, peddled by CNN, the major networks, every major newspaper and most politicians.</p>
<p>They say America has made little or no racial progress in the last 60 years, that the police are all wannabe Bull Connors, that income inequality is enforced by “institutional racism,” and that “America is a failed social experiment,” as Harvard professor <strong>Cornel West</strong> says.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2020/06/how-to-cultivate-racism-and-hate-in-america/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[<p><em>Written by Debra J. Saunders</em></p>
<p>Democratic U.S. Senators <strong>Catherine Cortez Masto</strong>, <strong>Kirsten Gillibrand</strong>, <strong>Kamala Harris</strong>, <strong>Elizabeth Warren</strong> and <strong>Amy Klobuchar</strong> — self-styled feminists who bought every flimsy claim made against now U.S. Supreme Court Justice <strong>Brett Kavanaugh</strong> — have chosen to stand by <strong>Joe Biden</strong> in the face of a sexual assault allegation made against him by a former staffer.</p>
<p>The MeToo movement, which followed a <em>New York Times</em>&#8216; expose on Hollywood mogul <strong>Harvey Weinstein</strong>&#8216;s abuse and degradation of women in the entertainment industry, was supposed to prove that the feminist movement was a moral entity committed to fair treatment of women, even when big Democratic figures stood accused.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2020/05/the-silence-of-the-media-lambs/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>What sets our current age apart from previous ones is not only technological wonders but the shocking abandonment of truth.</p>
<p>For Marxists, a lie is as good as truth if it works to advance their cause.  A case in point was a recent article on the front page of <em>The Washington Post</em>’<em>s</em> Sunday Outlook section.  Next to a large, serious portrait, the headline proclaimed: “<a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/outlook/2019/11/22/barack-obama-conservative/?arc404=true" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Barack Obama: Conservative</a>.”  Sure.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2019/12/conservative-obama-and-pregnant-men/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>One reason many Americans don&#8217;t trust those &#8220;fact-checker&#8221; websites is because to know them is to see right through their incessantly liberal worldview. These impartial arbiters of truth routinely defend Democrats as being &#8220;Mostly True&#8221; on everything while savaging Republicans as just the opposite. It&#8217;s not just <strong>Donald Trump</strong>, mind you. It&#8217;s <strong>Ted Cruz</strong>. And <strong>Rick Santorum</strong>. And <strong>Newt Gingrich</strong>. And pretty much anyone who challenges liberal orthodoxy.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2019/07/fact-checkers-find-democrats-are-truth-tellers/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>Universal healthcare, also known as &#8220;Medicare for All,&#8221; is back in the news.  U.S. Senator <strong>Bernie Sanders</strong> (I-VT) is joined in his advocacy of this entitlement program by most, if not all, Democratic presidential candidates, including U.S. Senators <strong>Kamala Harris </strong>(D-CA), <strong>Kirsten Gillibrand</strong> (D-NY), <strong>Elizabeth Warren</strong> (D-MA), <strong>Cory Booker</strong> (D-NJ), U.S. Rep. <strong>Tulsi Gabbard</strong> (D-HI) and former Secretary of Housing and Urban Development <strong>Julian Castro</strong>. According to <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/politics/policy-2020/medicare-for-all/?utm_term=.d58d98c5a544" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">an article</a> in <em>The Washington Post</em>, all of the major Democratic presidential candidates support &#8220;Medicare for All&#8221; or something else to achieve universal healthcare coverage.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2019/04/healthcare-is-not-a-right/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>In the age of Trump, the American media insist that freedom of speech is in danger because they somehow consider mocking journalists a suppression of free speech. Now imagine if America had a law where you couldn&#8217;t mock Christian doctrines without facing a fine. The press would again denounce the curtailment of free speech but now you&#8217;d also hear the cries of &#8220;theocracy!&#8221;</p>

<p>The progressive game plan to re-acquire power in Washington and make it permanent has been shockingly obvious for some time:</p>
<p>Import millions of illegal immigrants, hook them on government aid, and turn them into voters – legally or illegally.</p>
<p>Two Democrats running for Congress in Texas have come out for decriminalizing illegal immigration, along with <strong>Beta O’Rourke</strong>, who is running for Ted Cruz’s U.S. Senate seat.  Virtually all Democrat office holders oppose voter ID laws.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2018/09/as-progressives-move-left-they-must-replace-the-american-electorate/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>The majority of Democratic voters are victims of a deliberate conspiracy by the leftist media, academia, and the Deep State to mislead them through lies of omission and commission.</p>
<p>A recent Pew survey <a href="http://townhall.com/tipsheet/mattvespa/2018/07/24/intolerance-around-half-of-liberals-cant-stand-being-around-trump-supporters-n2502722">shows that leftists</a> are much more likely not to want to associate with people who don&#8217;t share their political views than are conservatives.  Furthermore, leftists are more likely not to know any conservatives.</p>
<p>Look at the electoral map from 2016 – the blue areas are all tiny and tightly grouped.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2018/08/freeing-people-from-left-wing-lies/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>GOP presumptive nominee <strong>Donald Trump</strong> escalated his war with the media yesterday when he decided that his campaign would no longer issue press credentials to <em>The Washington Post</em> because of the paper’s “incredibly inaccurate coverage” of his campaign.</p>
<p>Trump issued the ban in a Facebook post on Monday:</p>
<blockquote><p>“Based on the incredibly inaccurate coverage and reporting of the record setting Trump campaign, we are hereby revoking the press credentials of the phony and dishonest Washington Post.”</p></blockquote>&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2016/06/trump-revokes-washington-posts-press-credentials/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a>]]></description>
