Assisted Suicide Laws Hurt the Vulnerable
By Kenna Rose   |   07.21.26
A new federal lawsuit by disability rights advocates seeks to block Illinois' End-of-Life Options Act before it takes effect on September 12.

“It’s Ridiculous!” Mary Miller Calls Out Medical Deans Over Biology
By David E. Smith   |   07.16.26

By David E. Smith   |   07.07.26

By Thomas Hampson   |   07.03.26

America 250
As America marks 250 years of independence, let's remember that our liberties were not self-sustaining—they were built on biblical truth, moral courage, and God's providence. Freedom survives only when each generation is willing to defend it. May we recommit ourselves to faith, truth, and liberty.
Simple Socialism, or Why Bernie’s AI-Envy is All Wrong
By Oliver Perry   |   07.01.26
U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders wants to punish success instead of rewarding innovation. Envy has never created prosperity—freedom, innovation, and hard work have. Socialism's false promises of equality usually deliver less for everyone.
Paid by the Head
By Thomas Hampson   |   06.20.26
When government systems begin treating innocent children as numbers, referrals, and funding opportunities, something has gone terribly wrong. Children are NOT commodities to be managed. We should be deeply grieved and outraged by the federal government's failure to protect vulnerable immigrant children.
The SPLC’s War on Biblical Values
By David E. Smith   |   06.11.26
According to the SPLC, believing historic biblical teaching on marriage and sexuality earns you a spot on their “hate group” list. Funny how “tolerance” and “inclusion” so often mean tolerating everyone… while excluding those who disagree.

By Alyssa Sonnenburg   |   06.10.26

By Thomas Hampson   |   05.27.26
Equality Illinois held a news conference in Springfield on May 21, 2026, to kick off the public phase of its legislative advocacy day. Six speakers took the microphone for over twenty-four minutes, each delivering a piece of a coordinated policy package.
An Unpayable Debt
As we approach the upcoming holiday, it’s time to remind everyone not to go around saying, “Happy Memorial Day.” Nice thought on most other holidays. But not this one.
Does Moms.gov Go Far Enough?
By Alyssa Sonnenburg   |   05.22.26
America desperately needs to become more family-friendly and child-friendly again. Government websites and incentives may help at the margins, but the deeper issue is cultural: marriage is delayed, children are often viewed as burdens, and God’s design for family has been abandoned.
