1984 and the End of Freedom in Illinois
By   |   03.18.19
George Orwell’s dystopian novel 1984, which was published 70 years ago, portrays a totalitarian world of censorship and ubiquitous surveillance where ordinary citizens are expected to report resistors who are  then ruthlessly punished for their “thought crimes.” Illinois State Representative...
If You Care for the Poor, You’ll Oppose the Green New Deal
03.15.19
I struggle to even make the effort to outline my opposition to the so-called “Green New Deal” because it seems flatly absurd that anyone could take it serious enough to justify my time spent.  Retrofitting every building in America, spending almost $100 trillion, providing a job for every person that wants one and paying for those who don’t – these are the kinds of juvenile ideas that get laughed out of high school government classes.
La Perversion Llamada La Ley de Igualdad
By Laurie Higgins   |   03.14.19
Cualquier legislador que respalde la Ley de Igualdad, cuyo nombre es asquerosamente erróneo, cuya aprobación es la máxima prioridad legislativa de la Presidenta de la Cámara de Representantes Nancy Pelosi, es ignorante, cobarde, estúpido, malvado o todo lo previamente dicho....

Church Bulletin Insert for Pro-Life Lobby Day
By David E. Smith   |   03.08.19
We need your help to encourage our state lawmakers to reject two extreme abortion bills. No American should be forced by its government to violate their deeply held convictions. That is why pro-life organizations from across the state are calling for a Rally & Lobby Day on March 20th at our state Capitol in Springfield.
Transgenderism Poised to Ruin the Olympics

For those who have thought that it will take an outrage of global proportions to restore sanity to the spectacle of feelings-over-science that is transgenderism, I can’t help but think we are on the cusp of that very moment.
Amazon Crosses a Very Dangerous Censorship Line
By Dr. Michael L. Brown   |   03.07.19
With the news last week that Amazon has banned Mohammed’s Koran: Why Muslims Kill for Islam, co-authored by British activist Tommy Robinson and Peter McLoughlin, Amazon has crossed a very dangerous and precarious line.
