Turning the Tables: The Fight Against Explicit Material in Schools
By Thomas Hampson   |   03.12.26
On February 24, 2026—the same evening President Trump called for a national ban on gender ideology in schools during his State of the Union address—Rep. Mary Miller (R-IL-15) introduced H.R. 7661, the Stop the Sexualization of Children Act.
Federal Law Already Requires What SB2876 Provides
By Thomas Hampson   |   03.10.26
In the spring of 2025, a group of elementary school students was shadowboxing in a gymnasium in downstate Illinois. One student was struck, and several others were involved in the incident. When the dust settled, only some were disciplined — suspended from school based on video evidence from the building's surveillance cameras.
Epstein –The Information Mercenary
By Thomas Hampson   |   03.09.26
There is still confusion about the real Jeffrey Epstein. Was he a gifted poseur — a college dropout and social climber whose crimes against minors and appetite for other people's money were his primary motivations? Or was he a covert intelligence asset, a blackmailing architect of elite corruption, a Bond villain with a private island?
Jeffrey Epstein’s Secret War on the Human Genome
By Thomas Hampson   |   03.03.26
Jeffrey Epstein wasn’t just funding science — he was embedding himself inside America’s elite institutions. $17M+ flowed into Harvard. A furnished office. Keycard access for 10 years after his conviction. Emails reveal discussions of eugenics, “designer babies,” gene editing, behavioral modification — even plans for a breeding program at Zorro Ranch. This went far beyond philanthropy.
The Wexner Deposition: A Study in What Wasn’t Asked
By Thomas Hampson   |   02.26.26
A major Epstein witness testified under oath for five hours — yet key issues were never pursued, including networks, surveillance systems, and institutional ties. What wasn’t asked may be more revealing than what was said. Oversight without accountability isn’t oversight.
The Intelligence Operation: What the Epstein Files Now Prove
By Thomas Hampson   |   02.25.26
On the morning I began writing this article (02/19/2026), Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, formerly known as Prince Andrew, was arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office. His alleged crime? Forwarding confidential government documents to Jeffrey Epstein.
They All Knew
By Thomas Hampson   |   02.23.26
Both parties gave private access to insiders with known mob ties — even after Secret Service warnings. Not a mistake. A system protecting “institutional interests.” From WWII to Epstein, the pattern never stopped. They knew. They allowed it.
The Epstein Files Release: Intentional Defiance Masquerading as Transparency
By Thomas Hampson   |   02.14.26
3.5 MILLION pages of Epstein files — but no real transparency. Names of powerful officials redacted. Required records missing. Bulk downloads blocked. When government “transparency” requires hiding who was involved, something is very wrong. This isn’t openness. It’s obstruction.
McClure Tries Again
By Thomas Hampson   |   02.11.26
Sexually assaulting a student should never be treated less seriously than bringing a weapon to school. Illinois SB 2991 addresses a real gap in the law — but mandatory punishment demands professional investigations, formal hearings, and a higher evidentiary standard. Protect kids. Get the process right.
E Pluribus Plures
By Thomas Hampson   |   02.02.26
The United States is not collapsing from invasion or economic ruin, but from a far deeper crisis—a severing from reality itself. Our shared national identity is fracturing, objective moral truth is eroding, and even basic truths about law, human nature, and justice are being redefined by power rather than principle.
Surveillance, Resistance, and Lethal Force: Anatomy of the Pretti Shooting
By Thomas Hampson   |   01.29.26
The Alex Pretti shooting is being reduced to slogans. That’s dangerous. The real story involves coordinated surveillance of federal agents, doxxing, hostile flash mobs, and local officials who refused to maintain order. Here’s what actually matters and what you should know…
Weaponized Compassion: How Federal Food Programs Undermine Culture
By Thomas Hampson   |   01.20.26
What if federal food aid is doing more than feeding the hungry? In this article, author Thomas Hampson examines how decades of federal policy changes have reshaped food assistance into a force that, he argues, erodes cultural cohesion, bypasses citizenship verification, and fuels broader social and political transformation.
A War By Other Means
By Thomas Hampson   |   01.15.26
Our nation is under attack — not just on battlefields, but through drugs, cartels, mass illegal migration and foreign subversion that weaken our society and sovereignty. The capture of Maduro exposes how hostile powers have waged hybrid war against the U.S. for years.
Our Still Struggling Child Protection System
By Thomas Hampson   |   01.08.26
Illinois has spent decades promising to professionalize child protection investigations. Yet the state is back to sending interns and minimally trained social workers to conduct what should be rigorous fact-finding.
From Killer to Courage: The Story of Kenny Morrow
By Thomas Hampson   |   12.29.25
A convicted killer and gang enforcer became the unlikely instrument God used from the inside to dismantle the El Rukns—Chicago’s most ruthless gang. This is the extraordinary true story of Kenny Morrow, the informant whose courage helped topple a criminal empire.
