					<description><![CDATA[<p><em>Written by Robert Knight</em></p>
<p>The multibillion-dollar Somali welfare scandal in Minnesota continues to grow, even as Democrats do their best to tamp it down.</p>
<p>U.S. Representative <strong>Ilhan Omar</strong>, who represents the Twin Cities area and is a naturalized citizen from Somalia, lamented the fraud but said the focus on Somalis was because of bigotry. She wrote a column for <em>The New York Times</em> accusing President Trump of “hate speech” and “racism, xenophobia, Islamophobia and division.”&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2026/01/a-welfare-state-without-borders-is-a-license-to-steal/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>The Trump White House has officially launched a <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/mediabias/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">media-bias page</a> on its website — and judging by the hysteria from the legacy press, the Trump Administration hit a nerve. <em>Breitbart</em> <a href="https://www.breitbart.com/the-media/2025/11/29/white-house-launches-website-exposing-media-bias" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reports</a> that the new page highlights falsehoods, distortions, and slanted coverage from the usual suspects. And the reaction from those “objective journalists” tells you everything you need to know.</p>
<p>It’s exciting to see a Republican administration go on offense rather than shrink back.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2025/12/the-white-house-teenagers-and-media-bias/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[<p><em>Written by Robert Knight</em></p>
<p>Somehow, I don’t think the phrase “make my day” says enough about President-elect <strong>Donald Trump</strong>’s Cabinet nominees.</p>
<p>Now that former U.S. Representative <strong>Matt Gaetz</strong>, Florida Republican, has withdrawn from consideration for attorney general, the most outrageously volatile pick has to be <strong>Robert F. Kennedy Jr.</strong> for secretary of health and human services.</p>
<p>I’m not sure this will go over well with everyone, but anyone who gives <strong>Anthony</strong> “gain of function research” <strong>Fauci</strong> nightmares and has the pharmaceutical giants nervously watching their share prices fall is probably in the right place.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2024/11/climate-hysteria-is-about-to-meet-its-match-with-chris-wright/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>Want to hear something that may be music to your ears, especially if you were delighted by the results of the Nov. 5 election?</p>
<p>“Anxious gloom grips much of the District.”</p>
<p>That was the take of <em>Washington Post</em> staff writer <strong>Kyle Swenson</strong> in a feature article last Wednesday about a place called Kraken. It’s a “rage room,” a business where customers pay $29.99 to smash things with crowbars, wrenches and baseball bats for 15 minutes of “stress relief.”&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2024/11/second-trump-administration-will-set-things-right/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>Ahead of the Democratic National Convention this week, “Fox News Sunday” host <strong>Shannon Bream</strong> rattled off the latest batch of battleground state polls from <i>New York Times</i>/Siena College to U.S. Senator <strong>J.D. Vance</strong> (R-OH), which showed Vice President <strong>Kamala Harris</strong> leading former President <strong>Donald Trump</strong> by 5 points in Arizona and by 2 points in North Carolina. She also referenced two new national surveys from ABC News/<i>Washington Post</i> and CBS News showing Harris ahead of Trump by 4 points and 3 points in those respective states.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2024/08/does-the-media-use-fake-polls-to-depress-republican-turnout/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>If those running our country had instructed <strong>Joe Biden</strong> to duck any debates with <strong>Donald Trump</strong>, an option that would have been utterly defended by both his base and the mainstream press (but I repeat myself) as justifiable &#8211; &#8220;debating a convicted felon only gives him a legitimacy he hasn&#8217;t earned&#8221; &#8211; then Biden would still be the nominee of the Democrat Party heading into November&#8217;s election.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2024/07/the-real-crisis-we-all-should-be-talking-about/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>One of the most chilling scenes in the anti-communist 1965 film “Dr. Zhivago” shows the doctor returning to his Moscow home after forced duty in the Red Army.</p>
<p>The Bolsheviks overthrew the czar and took power in Russia in the October Revolution of 1917.</p>
<p>As his wife, Tonya, gives him a hug and a silent warning, Yuri looks around and sees dozens of people unrelated to him. What was once the Zhivagos’ home — a large, magnificent house — is now a sordid commune crammed with state-sponsored squatters.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2024/06/the-lefts-war-on-the-american-dream/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>There’s more than meets the eye to the Democrats’ erasure of the nation’s southern border.</p>
<p>Sure, the Biden administration plans to keep allowing millions of aliens to enter the United States illegally, hook them on government aid, and turn them into permanent Democratic voters.</p>
<p>This is so obvious that denying it makes the Democrats and their media look ridiculously dishonest.</p>
<p>But I submit that it’s even more sinister. The aim is not to establish permanent, one-party Democratic power, although that’s crucial.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2024/02/erasing-the-southern-border-is-about-more-than-flooding-voter-rolls/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>Illinois Gov.<strong> JB Pritzker</strong> is back in front of his liberal friends in the news media to complain about the immigration crisis, which is trickling up to the Midwest.</p>
<p>As you may remember, Pritzker <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2023/10/untenable-immigrant-crisis-created-by-democrats/">sent an open letter</a> to President <strong>Joe Biden</strong> three months ago begging for federal tax resources to deal with the so-called “asylum seekers” being bussed to Illinois from Texas. Not once in this three-page appeal did he ask the administration to shut down the border or reinstate the quasi-successful “Remain in Mexico” policy of the Trump Administration.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2024/01/pritzkers-myopia-ignores-open-borders/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>Sometimes, you have to laugh at how obvious the leftists and their media have become in their quest to orchestrate “build back better.” When they’re not shoving irreversible surgery at vulnerable children or abusing the legal system to persecute a former president, they’re pushing the latest iteration of climate hysteria.</p>
<p>This past week, the U.N. Climate Change Conference in Dubai, of all places, released an agreement that calls for “transitioning away from fossil fuels,” which The Washington Post called “the root cause of the climate crisis.”&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2023/12/the-lefts-climate-fear-mongering-christian-bashing-race-baiting-fever-dreams/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[<p><em>Written by Tim Graham</em></p>
<p>On Nov. 7, the U.S. House of Representatives (212 Republicans and 22 Democrats) voted to censure radical U.S. Representative <strong>Rashida Tlaib</strong> (D-MI) because she has &#8220;levied unbelievable falsehoods about our greatest ally, Israel, and the attack on October 7.&#8221;</p>
<p>One of those outrageous falsehoods was clinging to the false claim that Israel bombed the al-Ahli hospital in Gaza. But guess what? Our professional &#8220;fact-checkers&#8221; haven&#8217;t located that lie &#8230; or any other nutty utterance, like her laughable claim that &#8220;from the river to the sea&#8221; isn&#8217;t a Hamas slogan about the eradication of Israel, it&#8217;s an &#8220;aspirational call for freedom&#8221; and &#8220;peaceful coexistence.&#8221;&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2023/11/rashida-tlaibs-lies-skipped-by-fact-checkers/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>Most pundits credit the Democrats’ election victories last Tuesday to the nation’s apparently unquenchable lust for abortion.</p>
<p>They have a point.</p>
<p>Democrats kept the focus off potent issues such as crime, raging inflation, millions of illegal immigrants, the war on domestic energy production, and President Biden’s bizarre behavior.</p>
<p>Using abortion like a club, Democrats in Virginia flipped the state House and kept the Senate, albeit by paper-thin majorities. They kept control in Fairfax and Loudoun counties.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2023/11/gop-must-go-on-the-offensive-and-call-out-democrats-extremism-to-win-2024-elections/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>When Biden aide <strong>Ian Sams</strong> wanted to leak his strongly worded memo to &#8220;Editorial Leadership at U.S. News Media Organizations,&#8221; he chose CNN media reporter <strong>Oliver Darcy</strong>, who is one of many enthusiastic White House spinners at CNN. Darcy and CNN didn&#8217;t have enough self-respect to push back on Sams for implying they needed to be lectured on going soft on Republicans.</p>
<p>Instead, in reporting this administration&#8217;s &#8220;breaking&#8221; list of demands, the incredibly servile Darcy claimed Sams was right.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2023/09/white-house-whips-liberal-media-for-not-being-pro-biden-enough/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>Home-schoolers consistently outscore government school students in every academic area. It’s no wonder that the public school establishment hates and fears home schooling.</p>
<p>The clearest evidence yet came in this past Thursday’s <em>Washington Post</em>. “<a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/education/interactive/2023/christian-home-schoolers-revolt/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">THE REVOLT OF CHRISTIAN HOME-SCHOOLERS</a>” (all caps in original) is a voluminous, front-page article almost entirely about one Loudoun County, Virginia, couple who had home-schooled their children before opting to enroll them in public schools.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2023/06/washington-post-hit-piece-on-home-schooling-is-thinly-veiled-attack-on-christianity/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>Here’s a brief quiz. What do all these events have in common?</p>
<p>Special counsel <strong>John Durham</strong>’s long-awaited report leaves no doubt that <strong>Hillary Clinton</strong>’s campaign facilitated the Russian collusion hoax “to vilify <strong>Donald Trump</strong>” during and after the 2016 presidential election cycle. The corrupt FBI leadership validated the scheme, which led to the first Trump impeachment. Democratic U.S. Representative <strong>Adam Schiff</strong> of California lied over and over to keep the hoax going.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2023/05/exposing-moral-evil-and-defrocking-those-who-weaponize-the-law/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>How many voters know that the Democratic Party supports legalized abortion through all nine months of pregnancy on demand for virtually any reason? How many voters know this position aligns with only six other countries in the world — three of them, not incidentally, being North Korea, Vietnam and China?</p>
<p>How many voters know that Democrats want to pass a federal law banning states from stopping sex-selective abortions or the dismembering of the post-viable unborn or the requirement of parental and guardian notification for minors before getting abortions?&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2023/04/republicans-need-to-stop-being-cowards-on-abortion/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>National Public Radio left Twitter in a hilarious huff. In a statement, CEO <strong>John Lansing</strong> announced, &#8220;We are not putting our journalism on platforms that have demonstrated an interest in undermining our credibility and the public&#8217;s understanding of our editorial independence.&#8221;</p>
<p>This contains multiple layers of comedy. For starters, NPR is a platform that has demonstrated an incredibly aggressive interest in undermining the credibility of Fox News Channel and the public&#8217;s understanding of how it balances out NPR&#8217;s relentless liberal bias and censorship.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2023/04/npr-wont-hide-their-hatred-of-republicans-and-fox-news/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>Venture capital is a risky and rewarding business that, in a world of Adam Smith’s free market, would accurately predict, in most cases, the most efficient investments for creation of wealth and the betterment of human life. Venture socialism, on the other hand, shields investors in start-ups from all risk by funding their projects with both monetary and fiscal stimulus from the government. Now, those counting on taxpayer funding to augment their personal wealth portfolios know that green energy start-ups are “too big to fail,” just like the big banks in 2008.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2023/03/the-invisible-hand-behind-the-silicon-valley-bank-bailout-green-energy-venture-socialism/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>When the <em>Wall Street Journal</em> reported in a front-page lead story that the Department of Energy had concluded the COVID-19 pandemic resulted from a leak from China&#8217;s Wuhan laboratory, you might have argued it was old news. The FBI had already, it turns out, come to the same conclusion and with a higher degree of confidence (moderate) than the Energy Department (low).</p>
<p>Those agencies&#8217; conclusions, moreover, came as a result of a May 21 directive from President <strong>Joe Biden</strong> to multiple intelligence agencies to review two &#8220;equally plausible scenarios&#8221; for COVID&#8217;s origin, &#8220;whether it emerged from human contact with an infected animal&#8221; (the zoonotic theory) &#8220;or from a laboratory accident&#8221; (the lab leak theory).&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2023/03/lab-leak-story-how-elite-scientists-lied-and-concealed-the-truth/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>In our materialistic modern age, we sometimes need reminders that Lucifer is real and up to no good. And that God is infinitely more powerful.</p>
<p>Years ago, LGBTQ activists picketed a church in Anchorage, Alaska, because the church opposed a gay rights ordinance. The protesters noticed a guy dressed in a devil suit with a pitchfork marching beside them. When they asked what he was doing, he said, “Oh, the pastor sent me out here.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2023/02/perverting-and-despoiling-what-god-has-created/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>The first thing the communists did after the 1917 Russian Revolution was round up anyone who disagreed with them.</p>
<p>They shut down newspapers and denied all public forums to dissenters. This included their “useful idiot” socialist allies.</p>

					<description><![CDATA[<p><em>Written by Robert Knight</em></p>
<p>Someone in the FBI keeps leaking materials that agents seized during the shocking, unprecedented nine-hour raid of former President <strong>Donald Trump</strong>’s Florida home on August 8.</p>
<p>We know this because supposedly sensitive documents keep turning up in the <em>Washington Post</em>. Of course, they do. The paper justifies its eager role in the FBI-fueled witch hunt against Mr. Trump by claiming concern for “national security.”</p>
<p>If that’s their motive, the <em>Post</em> should report on President <strong>Joe Biden</strong>’s dangerous foreign policies and his perversion of our armed forces into a “safe space” for Corporal Klinger.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2022/09/the-fbi-and-liberal-media-collusion-grinds-on/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>If you want to know what Democrats are attacking at any given time, just watch how they label something. It’s the opposite of what it would mean to any normal person.</p>
<p>For instance, “reproductive care” is not about reproducing, that is, having babies. It’s about abortion or preventing pregnancies.</p>
<p>“Gender affirming” or “gender confirming” policies do not verify actual genders. Instead, they deny biology and elevate delusions into enforced falsehoods. They should be called “gender denying” policies.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2022/08/respect-for-marriage-act-is-the-latest-example-of-the-lefts-outright-lying/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p><em>The New York Times</em> has a problem with Russia. And the truth.</p>
<p>For more than three years, the <em>Times</em> pushed the false Trump-Russia collusion story, making the paper an accessory to what amounted to an attempted coup against the 45th president.</p>

<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>Not the suits who run the media, understand. The suits may be stylishly “woke,” but they’re in the business to make a buck. I’m talking about the so-called journalists.

<p>Rachel Maddow is one of America&#8217;s most popular proponents of socialism. Government is never big enough for Maddow. <strong>Bernie Sanders</strong> has a friend in Maddow. But when the subject is abortion, you will not find a more enthusiastic libertarian.</p>
<p>After the U.S. Supreme Court heard oral arguments on Nov. 30 on Mississippi&#8217;s law banning the termination of unborn children after 15 weeks, Maddow championed lawyer <strong>Julie Rikelman</strong> for the Center for Reproductive Rights for arguing this is &#8220;about American women being forced by the government to give birth against their will.&#8221;&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2021/12/rachel-maddow-libertarian-on-one-issue/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>A day doesn’t pass without more striking evidence that our ruling elites are not only evil but unhinged.</p>
<p>Take Yale Law School’s, <strong>Ian Ayres</strong>. In <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2021/09/15/until-im-told-otherwise-i-prefer-call-you-they/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">a column</a> for Thursday’s <em>Washington Post</em>, Mr. Ayres announced that he would initially address all students as “they” this school year instead of using singular pronouns. This is “less likely to cause offense than using harmful stereotypes to guess at someone’s pronouns,” he explained.</p>
<p>By “harmful stereotypes,” he means common-sense clues to gender, such as body type, clothing, voice, makeup, hair, and so on.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2021/09/resisting-the-ruling-elites-insanity/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>“Republicans finally have an issue on which they can legitimately criticize President Biden.”</p>
<p>Finally?</p>
<p>Thus wrote “conservative” <em>Washington Post</em> columnist Max Boot about Mr. Biden’s Afghanistan disaster.  This implies that Mr. Boot has only now discovered a chink in Joe’s media-sealed, invisible armor.</p>
<p>Mr. Boot and like-minded elites are a bit disturbed by the Afghanistan debacle. But they are apparently fine with Mr. Biden’s sending gasoline prices soaring and abandoning the defense of our southern border.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2021/09/widening-reality-gap-between-bidens-elites-and-the-working-class-2/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>The very supportive media environment around President <strong>Joe Biden</strong> has turned suddenly sour over this administration&#8217;s shoddy handling of Afghanistan. This debacle shouldn&#8217;t be buried and ignored by the press, like they&#8217;ve tried to do with the border crisis. But Biden&#8217;s gone back to hiding as a strategy, as he did in his 2020 presidential campaign.</p>
<p>For four days, the president disappeared from public view. Then he gave a speech on Aug.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2021/08/cowardly-biden-hides-from-the-press-on-afghanistan/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>Last October, the District of Columbia passed a law allowing health officials to vaccinate children as young as 11 without their parent’s knowledge or permission. Seriously.</p>
<p>You probably didn’t hear about this. The media avoid covering topics that might arouse the citizenry to reassert their constitutional and parental rights. How about the CDC’s recommendation to mask any child over two years old? Not big news.</p>
<p>Can’t you see newly empowered health police patrolling playgrounds to make sure all toddlers are masked?&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2021/08/the-covid-19-war-on-children/" 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>

<p>U.S. Senator <strong>John Cornyn</strong> (R-TX) came under blistering attack from <em>Washington Post</em> scribe <strong>Aaron Blake</strong> for having wondered whether President <strong>Joe Biden</strong> is really in charge, since he&#8217;s kept an extremely low profile with the press. Blake took after the senator for implying the Trump spin that old Joe has lost a few mental gears and is something of a &#8220;Manchurian Candidate.&#8221; &#8220;It&#8217;s a baseless and ugly bit of innuendo,&#8221; Blake wrote.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2021/04/the-press-is-infrastructure-for-biden/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>Conservatives have canceled their own culture. <strong>Glenn Beck</strong> was a recent example, blasting anti-communist U.S. Senator <strong>Joe McCarthy</strong> and warning of a new “Red Scare” targeting conservatives. We should have taken the old Red Scare more seriously and could have avoided our current fate.</p>
<p>That fate, recently <a href="http://www.usasurvival.org/uploads/1/2/6/3/126369300/judge_silberman_on_the_media_monopoly.pdf">described</a> by federal Judge <strong>Laurence Silberman</strong>, is the “ideological consolidation” of the media in the hands of the Democratic Party and its allies. Marx called it the centralization of the means of communications in the hands of the state.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2021/04/how-woke-conservatives-cancel-their-own-culture/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[<p><em>Written by Tim Graham</em></p>
<p>President Biden&#8217;s first formal press conference is in the books, and it was deeply embarrassing to anyone who thinks the media&#8217;s job is to hold presidents accountable.</p>
<p>Taxpayer-enabled PBS White House correspondent <strong>Yamiche Alcindor</strong> was the worst. She complimented the president, saying: &#8220;You&#8217;ve said over and over again that immigrants shouldn&#8217;t come to this country right now; this isn&#8217;t the time to come. That message is not being received. Instead, the perception of you that got you elected as a moral, decent man is the reason why a lot of immigrants are coming to this country and are trusting you with unaccompanied minors.&#8221;&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2021/03/the-pro-biden-press-corps-is-deeply-embarrassing/" 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>So, <strong>Colin Kaepernick</strong> is the current face of American professional sports.</p>
<p>This is the guy widely panned four years ago for his protests during the playing of the National Anthem at National Football League games.  Now he’s the bee’s knees.</p>
<p>That’s the picture from a <em>Washington Post</em> poll that says a majority (56 percent) of Americans actually approve of athletes kneeling in protest when the Star-Spangled Banner is played.  Only 42 percent of those polled say it’s “not appropriate.”&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2020/09/kneeling-to-political-correctness/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>Kerr’s persistence in pointing out to everyone how sensitive he is to the plight of those treated unjustly counterbalanced against his flagrant unwillingness to say a single word on behalf of the most oppressed and mistreated victims of systemic injustice in the world is mindless.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2020/08/nbas-wokest-coach-finally-says-something-about-china/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>So said former Chicago Mayor <strong>Rahm Emanuel</strong>, who was President Obama’s chief of staff and an astute practitioner of smashmouth politics.</p>
<p>It’s worth remembering this as the Democrats and their media do everything they can to hype the dangers of the Wuhan coronavirus.  Not that it isn’t deadly serious.

<p>Our media elites arrogantly lecture about our democracy being undermined by robotic propaganda, but do they ever listen to themselves talk about the Democrats? Somehow, they think their robotic propaganda is just the &#8220;truth.&#8221; The press came to witness the Senate impeachment trial, and U.S. Representative <strong>Adam Schiff</strong> (D-CA) had them at hello.</p>
<p>No member of Congress has been more dramatically partisan in this war on the Trump presidency than Schiff. &#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2020/01/adam-schiffs-avalanche-of-accolades/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p dir="ltr">In November 2010, Republicans gave Democrats a “shellacking,” regaining control of the U.S. House of Representatives.  In 2014, they held the U.S. House and captured the U.S. Senate, swept a majority of governorships. Overall, the GOP gained more state legislative offices that they had held since the 1920s.</p>
<p dir="ltr">In the face of this, President <strong>Barack Obama</strong> made it clear that he was not about to move to the right in any fashion.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2019/11/gop-needs-to-ignore-medias-advice-and-go-smart-not-left/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>This past week the Democrat media went ballistic over Republican congressmen and women “invading” the secret basement room where <strong>Adam B. Schiff</strong> is stirring his pot o’ impeachment soup.</p>
<p><em>Washington Post</em> fake conservative <strong>Jennifer Rubin</strong>’s Oct. 23<sup>rd</sup> column was titled, “<a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2019/10/23/so-much-due-process-republican-mob-crashes-secure-hearing-room/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">So much for ‘due process’: Republican mob crashes secure hearing room</a>.”</p>

<p>At a Native American presidential forum in Sioux City, Iowa last week, the Massachusetts Democrat framed her prevarications as a mistake:</p>

<p>The Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) and its co-founder <strong>Morris Dees</strong>, who was recently fired by the organization, have long and sleazy pasts. Over the years, they have been sharply criticized for their tactics, priorities, and mistreatment of employees.</p>
<p>Despite this, the federal government has regarded the SPLC as an expert on extremism and has a long history of coordinating with law enforcement at the <a href="https://getliberty.org/2009/08/alg-blasts-dhs-methodology-used-in-rightwing-extremism-memo-revealed-in-freedom-of-information-response-by-department/">federal</a> and <a href="https://getliberty.org/2009/10/alg-blasts-missouri-information-analysis-center-for-retaining-no-records-of-erroneous-miac-modern-militia-movement-report/">state</a> level.

<p>The first rule of any Marxist revolution is that rules are fine if they advance the cause or cripple opponents.  The rules can be discarded the minute they get in the way.</p>
<p>That’s the way America’s Marxists, socialists and many liberals operate when it comes to the U.S. Constitution, especially the First Amendment.</p>
<p>Here’s the relevant portion:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech or of the press.”</p></blockquote>&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2019/05/rejecting-the-marxists-version-of-the-constitution/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a>]]></description>

For years, conservatives have lamented the power of Big Tech over political discourse and their bias against the Right.</p>

<p>I published <a href="https://spectator.org/democrats-clean-up-your-own-socialist-house/">a piece recently</a> on the reaction to President Trump’s condemnation of socialism in his State of the Union. He said something indisputably factual and indubitably obvious to most Americans: “Here, in the United States, we are alarmed by new calls to adopt socialism in our country. Tonight, we renew our resolve that America will never be a socialist country.”</p>
<p>It was a revealing moment not only for President Trump but also for the Democratic Party.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2019/04/on-trump-democrats-and-socialism/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>“The evidence is overwhelming,” insists Lemon. But is it, really? There are several reasons why it is a false claim that “right-wing extremists” are a bigger threat to Americans than Islamic jihad terrorists. “Lemon pointed to <a href="https://www.gao.gov/assets/690/683984.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">a recent Government Accountability Office report</a> that shows that since the 9/11 attacks in 2001, far-right violent extremists have killed 106 people in 62 attacks in the United States, while radical Islamist violent extremists have killed 119 people in 23 attacks.”&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2018/11/cnns-don-lemon-doubles-down-on-false-claim-that-white-men-are-biggest-terror-threat-in-this-country/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>Leftist ideologues live in an alternate universe, a product of their hallucinations of an America that does not exist except in their own demented thinking.</p>
<p>The latest manifestation of this delusional perception is <strong>Eugene Robinson</strong>&#8216;s opinion piece in the <em>Washington Post</em> on July 5.  Here is some of what he said:</p>
<blockquote><p>Racism is a feature of the Trump administration, not a bug[.] &#8230;</p>

<p><em>Written by J. Matt Barber</em></p>
<p>There’s a reason why the <em>Washington Post</em> is not-so-affectionately tagged the “Washington Compost” by its fast-growing pool of distrustful detractors. That reason is embodied in both the person (and the “journalism”) of one <strong>Jonathan Capehart</strong>, homosexual activist, <em>Washington Post</em> mercenary-hack and editorial board member. Capehart is a liar and, by extension, so is the <em>Washington Post</em>.</p>
<p>Now, when I say that Capehart is a liar, I don’t mean it in the pejorative sense.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2016/08/why-the-washington-post-has-no-credibility/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p><em>Written by Raymond Ibrahim</em></p>
<p>Two events recently transpired that forced mainstream media to address a question they habitually dodge: Is Islam intrinsically violent?  First, on New Year’s Day, Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi &#8212; a world leader, and a Muslim &#8212; did the unthinkable when he publicly asserted that <a href="http://www.raymondibrahim.com/from-the-arab-world/egypts-sisi-islamic-thinking-is-antagonizing-the-entire-world/">Islamic texts and thinking </a>have made the Muslim world a scourge to humanity. The <a href="http://www.raymondibrahim.com/islam/the-significance-of-sisis-speech/">MSM ignored it </a>until, as if to prove his point, Muslim gunmen shouting “Allahu Akbar” killed a dozen people in offices of a satirical newspaper in Paris.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2015/01/liberal-media-says-judaism-christianity-as-violent-as-islam/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p><em>Written by Don Irvine</em></p>
<p>There may be many in the mainstream media who are looking forward to a presidential run by <strong>Hillary Clinton</strong>, but the far-left media, which has never been crazy about Hillary, is actively seeking someone else to become the Democratic Party standard bearer in 2016, according to <em>Politico’s</em> <strong>Maggie Haberman</strong> and <strong>Hadas Gold</strong>.</p>
<p>The anti-Clinton drumbeat from the left includes Mic.com, a relatively new website aimed at progressive millennials, and left-wing magazines<em> In These Times </em>and <em>The Nation</em>.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2014/11/far-left-media-looking-for-a-clinton-challenger/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>
