					<description><![CDATA[<p><em>Written by David E. Smith</em></p>
<p>Investigative journalist <strong>Alex Newman</strong> outlines how Venezuela has become a dangerous hub for a broader communist alliance threatening U.S. national security. He explains that Venezuela itself is weak militarily, but operates as a <em data-start="417" data-end="448">“</em><span style="color: #0000ff;">tentacle of a massive beast</span><em data-start="417" data-end="448">”</em> made up of communist regimes, drug cartels, Islamist terror networks, and globalist actors — all working together to undermine the United States.</p>

<p data-start="596" data-end="1005">Newman traces the origins of this movement to the 1990 <em data-start="651" data-end="668">São Paulo Forum</em>, an alliance linking Cuba, Brazil, Nicaragua, Venezuelan leadership, and Colombian narco-terrorists, all supported by Russia, China, and Iran.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2025/11/alex-newman-addresses-communist-threats-to-the-u-s/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[<p><em>Written by Robert Knight</em></p>
<p>President Biden said during July’s heat wave that “extreme heat is the No. 1 weather-related killer in the United States.”</p>
<p>Mr. Biden is “wrong by a factor of 25,” wrote Bjorn Lomborg, a visiting fellow at the Hoover Institution, in <em>The Wall Street Journal</em>. “While extreme heat kills nearly 6,000 Americans each year, cold kills 152,000, of which 12,000 die from extreme cold.”</p>
<p>Mr. Lomborg noted that heat-related deaths have declined for decades in the United States and around the world because prosperity has allowed more people to afford air conditioning and other technology.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2024/08/numbers-dont-lie-except-when-democrats-report-them/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[<p><em>Written by Daniel Horowitz</em></p>
<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>About 3 weeks ago, <a href="https://www.tpusa.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Turning Point USA</a> and <a href="https://www.tpaction.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Turning Point Action</a> sponsored a Conference for the conservative grassroots at the Palm Beach Convention Center in Palm Beach, Florida. Attendance was estimated at over 6,000, with close to half of those being young, conservative college students.</p>
<p>As you may or may not know, Turning Point was initially founded locally in 2012 in Lemont, Illinois. <strong>Charlie Kirk</strong> is originally from the Arlington Heights/Prospect Heights area.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2023/08/turning-point-usa-action-conference-a-personal-perspective/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[<p><em>Written by Daniel Horowitz</em></p>
<p>It’s unparalleled in human history. No other sovereign nation has ever voluntarily invited millions upon millions of invaders, primarily young men, to line up at the border and march into the country. With over 140,000 estimated illegal aliens just in the past two weeks (which would be an annual flow of 3.7 million) – even before the official rescission of Title 42 on Thursday – we are out of time to stop this invasion through traditional means.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2023/05/gop-governors-must-enforce-border-laws/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[<p><em>Written by Trevor Thomas</em></p>
<p>In September of 2008, U.S. Senator, vice-presidential candidate, and democrat <strong>Joe Biden</strong> was asked his thoughts—“as a Roman Catholic”—on when life begins. Demonstrating a vast ignorance of science, along with an unflattering display of faith, he <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=83A-k0R5EPc">told NBC’s Tom Brokaw</a>, “Look, I know when it begins for me.” A decade later, using the same “<a href="https://www.trevorgrantthomas.com/2018/08/liberals-long-ago-abandoned-idea-that.html">post-truth</a>” relativism, New York Mayor, presidential candidate, and democrat <strong>Bill de Blasio</strong>, after signing a law that allows New Yorkers to declare their chosen gender on their birth certificate, told a cheering crowd, “You be you.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2019/06/democrats-the-post-truth-party/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p><a href="https://www.washingtontimes.com/topics/thomas-sowell/">Thomas Sowell</a>, a living legend in the field of economics, says he fears the U.S. may eventually succumb to the siren song of socialism.</p>
<p>The author of “Basic Economics,” “The Vision of the Anointed,” “The Quest for Cosmic Justice” and numerous other books said the U.S. may very well go down a path of financial ruin due to “wonderful-sounding” rhetoric.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.washingtontimes.com/topics/thomas-sowell/">Mr. Sowell</a>, a Marxist in his youth, made the remarks Tuesday while appearing with Fox Business Network’s <strong>David Asman</strong>.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2019/03/thomas-sowell-warns-u-s-may-not-resist-siren-song-of-socialism/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>
