U.S. Senate Pushing Lame-Duck Cannabis Legislation
By Jonathan Alban   |   12.10.22
The looming threat of a Republican-led U.S. has sparked a movement among U.S. Senators from both sides of the aisle. Pro-pot federal lawmakers are currently pushing to get two pieces of cannabis banking legislation passed before year-end: the SAFE act and the HOPE act.
SCOTUS to Decide if Christians Must Endorse Anti-Weddings
By Laurie Higgins   |   12.06.22
On Monday, December 5, 2022, the U.S. Supreme Court began hearing 303 Creative LLC v. Elenis, another case that pits the purported rights of same-sex couples to force Christian business-owners to create products (or provide services) that express messages related...
Government Predators Hunt Conservatives
By Laurie Higgins   |   11.23.22
The Feds have long had conservatives in the sights of their weapons of war. And they’ve had powerful allies in this battle in the legacy news media, government schools, and, more recently, social media and corporate America, including virtually all of the entertainment and publishing industries. There’s no need for an exhaustive list of the ways leftists hunt conservatives. Every conservative with eyes and an amygdala perceives the threat.
Democrats Have Marriage and States’ Rights in Their Sights for Lame Duck Session
By Laurie Higgins   |   11.15.22
Since the unconstitutional Roe v. Wade was overturned in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, leftists have been roiling in rage at the thought that states are now free to enact the will of their voters with regard to killing...
Shapeshifter Tulsi Gabbard Exits Democrat Party
By Laurie Higgins   |   10.13.22
While many Republicans are celebrating Tulsi Gabbard’s exit from the destructive Democrat Party, Illinois Family Institute is taking a wait-and-see approach to yet another political incarnation of Gabbard. While rejecting the Democrat Party and its baleful policies is always a...
Pro-Abortion Forces Target the Filibuster
By Ecce Verum   |   09.29.22
Roe v. Wade had long been a prize jewel in the crown of leftist accomplishments. And Democrats fought hard against appointing the new justices who recently overthrew it. Now that it's gone, the liberals are destroying every obstacle they can to get it back. Next target: the U.S. Senate filibuster.
Lindsey Grandstanding on Abortion
09.23.22
We cannot remain silent in our disappointment over the move by U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) and U.S. Representative Chris Smith (R-NJ) to propose a federal ban on post-15-week abortions.
Biden’s DOJ Squelching Conscience Rights
By Dr. Jerry Newcombe   |   09.22.22
What is the government alleging was illegal? Certainly it’s not illegal for an organization to be involved with crafting legislation?

The Biden Administration’s action is particularly astounding because we do not yet fully grasp the long-term deleterious effects of the puberty blockers and body-part-removal surgeries to “cure” gender dysphoria.
Is This the End?
By Rev. Thorin Anderson   |   09.10.22
On paper, the United States is a democratic republic. But one could argue that we have become a tyranny of thugs where people are afraid to speak their minds, and media giants shut down voices with which they disagree. In a republic the majority rules while the minority has significant protections. Amazingly, it is now an angry, vocal minority that rules. The majority is, by law, supposed to get its way, but many significant changes are being made in America against the will of the majority, the Constitution, and the laws of the land. We live in perilous times.
Must Christians Obey Bad Court Rulings?
By Oliver Perry   |   09.09.22
We’ve heard that the SCOTUS is threatening democracy. For example, the recent Dobbs decision broke democracy – or affirmed it, depending on your point of view. It turns out that the Court can easily break American democracy, if it’s inclined to. All that need happen is for some justices to stop acting like jurists, and start acting like they took bribes. This article explores:
Dark Lord Biden’s “Soul of the Nation” Speech
By Laurie Higgins   |   09.03.22
Biden began his speech by extolling the Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution as the “rock upon which this nation is built. They are how we became the greatest nation on Earth. They are why, for more than two centuries, America has been a beacon to the world.” But then his dark side flickered to life...
The Newest Member of Biden’s Stable of Degenerates
By Laurie Higgins   |   08.03.22
There is no degrading depth to which the Biden administration will not sink in its effort to appease sexual deviants and promote sexual deviance while concomitantly offending deplorables of every color. No, I’m not talking about Biden’s appointment of Dr. “Rachel” Levine... Nor am I talking about Sam Brinton...
National and State Leaders’ Letter to Leader McConnell on H.R. 8404
By Laurie Higgins   |   08.01.22
As of this writing, 85 national and state organizations—including the Illinois Family Institute (IFI)—have signed a letter written by the Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF) and sent to U. S. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell on July 26, 2022, denouncing the ironically named “Respect for Marriage Act” (H.R. 8404) and urging him and U.S. Senate colleagues to reject it.
I Have Voted Republican for Many Years, But I Do Not Put My Trust in a Political Party
By Dr. Michael L. Brown   |   07.25.22
Because the Republican platforms over the years have been much closer to my values than the Democratic platforms, I have voted Republican for as long as I can remember. But when it comes to bringing about moral and cultural change in America, I do not look to a political party. Not a chance. There is moral compromise in both major parties, and the battle we are fighting for the soul of the nation is a spiritual battle long before it is a political battle. The recent U.S. House vote to codify same-sex “marriage” was yet another reminder for us.
Unprincipled Republicans Vote FOR the Disrespect for Marriage Act
By Laurie Higgins   |   07.23.22
Since the unconstitutional Roe was overturned, leftists have been roiling in rage at the thought that states are now free to enact the will of the people with regard to killing humans in the womb. In his concurrence, Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas argued that three other Supreme Court cases should be revisited in that they too lacked constitutional grounding—an argument made also by the esteemed Antonin Scalia and Robert Bork.
