Thankfulness and Serious Concerns

Posted on December 12, 2024 by Alyssa Sonnenburg
In his book, History of the Plymouth Settlement, William Bradford wrote about the departure of the Pilgrims from Leyden, Holland. Of course, they would be called “the Pilgrims” only many years later.

“Trump-Proofing” Illinois Has Begun

Posted on November 20, 2024 by Kathy Valente
In keeping with Governor JB Pritzker's promise to "Trump-Proof" Illinois, his party is preparing to ram through HB 5164, which has already passed in the Illinois House. The bill will make it almost impossible to find illegal immigrants with a criminal history and/or those who have committed crimes while on American soil, for the purpose of deportation.

Protecting Child Sacrifice and Mandating Indoctrination

Posted on May 23, 2024 by David E Smith
We knew the last week of the scheduled session of the Illinois General Assembly would be rough for pro-family conservatives, and we are sorry to report that two terrible bills are now on their way to Governor JB Pritzker's desk, where he is sure to sign them into law.

Which Side?

Posted on October 31, 2023 by Alyssa Sonnenburg
Which side are you on? Do you know? There are only two. From the moment you get up in the morning until you go to sleep at night, you take one side or the other.

Public Education – Transparently Opaque

Posted on March 15, 2023 by David E Smith
Why are so many public schools in Illinois keeping so many secrets from the public? Last August, Christopher Rufo disclosed that Lurie’s Children’s Hospital, unbeknownst to parents or the general public, was collaborating with Chicago area schools to promote “radical gender theory, trans activism, and sexually explicit materials in at least four Chicago-area public school systems: District 75, District 120, District 181, and District 204.” Three of these school districts are elementary districts and one is a high school district.

May Sheriffs Disobey Illinois’ Assault Weapons Ban?

Posted on February 3, 2023 by David E Smith
Illinois’s recent assault weapons ban has provoked more than a little consternation across the state—as it should. The ban, passed by Governor Pritzker on January 10 of this year, immediately banned the sale of “assault weapons” and magazines with a capacity greater than ten rounds. The ban also requires current firearm owners to register their now-illegal weapons with the Illinois State Police. There’s only one problem for Pritzker: The vast majority of Sheriffs in are not on board.

Illinois Buzzards Want Your Kids

Posted on January 11, 2023 by David E Smith

There’s a grand act of un-creation taking place all across this nation. Leftists are busy with this ugly business of un-creating decency, order, justice, compassion, and beauty, and children play a central role in this ugly business. To leftists, children are both objects of un-creation and tools for un-creating society. If we want to see with greater clarity the plans leftists have for the nation, there is no better place to examine than Illinois. Let’s hover above Illinois for a few minutes to get a bird’s eye view of this dark project.

Leftist Policies and Poverty: Is There a Correlation?

Posted on January 2, 2023 by David E Smith
It is an assumption made every day by most news media, pundits, professors, entertainers, and even pastors -- the lie that Leftist policies are the most compassionate; conservative, Biblical worldviews are not. The assumption is so ingrained into the fabric of our society that it rarely gets called into question and even more rarely talked about. In 2023, it is as natural as air or water to believe in this dichotomy. And yet, even a mild magnifying glass on Leftist policies surfaces all sorts of lies, hypocrisy, and anything but real compassion.

Pot Use Rises Among Children

Posted on December 14, 2022 by David E Smith
Gov. JB Pritzker continues to make sure Illinois has more than its share of pot dispensaries. And as Illinois Family Institute warned repeatedly that what was happening in Colorado would also happen here, there are consequences. Dire consequences.

Marijuana use among adolescents has now surpassed alcohol use. A 20-year study shows a 245 percent increase in marijuana use by children aged 6-18 since 2000, while alcohol use has steadily declined.

Automatic Annual Gas Tax Increases in Illinois

Posted on December 7, 2022 by David E Smith
Right on schedule, the new year will bring (yet another) onerous increase in gas taxes for Illinoisans: the gas tax is set to be increased to 42.5 cents per gallon, effective January 1, 2023.  The state gas tax was 19 cents per gallon before J.B. Pritzker took office—meaning the gas tax has more than doubled in the last four years.

Claim Your Name, Secure Your Vote

Posted on September 27, 2022 by David E Smith
The United States Postal Service recently announced the creation of the “Election and Government Mail Services”. This new division of the USPS was created to handle election mail issues “as part of an effort to ensure swift and secure delivery of ballots for the midterm election.” The expansion of government and more government involvement in elections. What could possibly go wrong?

Illinoisans Beware: Leftist SAFE-T for Criminals Act Takes Effect Jan 2023

Posted on September 14, 2022 by David E Smith
Leftists, practiced at the art of deception, do not care about anyone who lives in America. They care about one thing: maintaining power at all costs. And they think catering to criminals will achieve that goal. The most controversial provision of this 763-word behemoth that was passed in the middle of the night, takes effect on Jan. 1, 2023 and is just now receiving its overdue public outcry.

The “Trans” Cult Marches On Even As Its Harms Are Exposed

Posted on August 5, 2022 by David E Smith
A 25-year-old man who pretends to be a woman was kicked off a community college campus in Texas and charged with a class C misdemeanor for allegedly choking a 17-year-old female student. Like the teen victim, the strange adult man who goes by the name Averie Chanel Medlock was a member of the women’s cheerleading team. Medlock complained that the teen girl said he is a man—which he is—and that he has a penis—which he presumably does.

Gender Pretenders Destroying Authenticity and Liberty

Posted on March 22, 2022 by David E Smith
In the past three days, Twitter has suspended the accounts of the well-known satirical website Babylon Bee and of Division I swimmer Reka Gyorgy. What Gyorgy and Babylon Bee share in common is a willingness to criticize the alchemical superstitions of the “trans” cult.

Babylon Bee mocked USA Today for giving the Woman of the Year award to assistant secretary of health at the Department of Health and Human Services, Dr. Richard Leland Levine, alias “Rachel” Levine, who is a man. In response to USA Today’s insulting award, Babylon Bee tweeted that it had awarded Levine its Man of the Year award. Twitter suspended Babylon Bee’s account for alleged “hateful conduct,” a suspension that will be lifted only when Babylon Bee deletes the tweet.

And the left claims they hate censorship.
