HB 4834: Who Is Pulling the Strings?
By Thomas Hampson   |   04.29.26
For years, Illinois has chipped away at parental authority—one bill at a time. Now the state wants control over children’s medical decisions… without parents. HB 4834 is just the latest step in stripping parents of their rights. This is not accidental. It’s a coordinated agenda.
Finland’s Psychiatric Study Proves That “Gender-Affirming Care” Makes Kids Worse
By Alyssa Sonnenburg   |   04.24.26

Join the Movement to Overturn Obergefell
By Alyssa Sonnenburg   |   04.23.26

When Speech Is Silenced: The Case for Ethics Reform in Talk Therapy
By Thomas Hampson   |   04.13.26

SB 3138: The Mental Health Industry’s Latest Power Grab
By Thomas Hampson   |   04.10.26
SB 3138 may come up for a vote next week. If it passes, most people won't notice. There will be no dramatic headlines. Springfield will call it a routine update to an existing children's mental health law. This is the intent—stay low-key; the less noticeable, the better.
Illinois Lawmakers Target Children’s Attitudes & “Mental Health”
By Alex Newman   |   04.08.26
Illinois lawmakers are pushing more “mental health” mandates in government schools—but is this really about helping kids… or shaping their beliefs? Parents and grandparents should be very concerned. This goes far beyond education—it’s about influence.
Built on Sand
By Thomas Hampson   |   04.04.26
For years, conversion therapy bans were built on emotional narratives, questionable testimony, outright lies and institutional groupthink. The U.S. Supreme Court just pulled back the curtain—and raised the bar. A house built on sand cannot stand.
The American Medical Association Continues to Deny Biology
By Alyssa Sonnenburg   |   04.01.26
The American Medical Association continues to blur basic biological reality—pushing ideology over truth. When even our “experts” deny what is plainly observable, we shouldn’t be surprised by the confusion in our culture. Truth matters—and it must be defended.
HB 5095 – The Wrong Direction for Illinois
By Thomas Hampson   |   03.18.26
Illinois HB 5095 would further enshrine gender ideology into state law by letting people change the sex marker on IDs through self-attestation alone. No proof. No verification. Illinois is moving further from biological reality — and further in the wrong direction.
SB 2805 – Protecting Which of the Vulnerable?
By Thomas Hampson   |   03.17.26
A bill that appears to be moving rapidly through the Illinois legislature—SB 2805—deserves a closer look from anyone who cares about the elderly.

Jeffrey Epstein and the Deep State Behind the Deep State
By Alex Newman   |   02.27.26
New evidence and testimony are raising serious questions about Jeffrey Epstein’s high-level financial and political connections. Who funded him? Who worked with him? And what questions still haven’t been answered? Who is the Deep State behind the Deep State?
Stop Predators From Accessing Your Child Online
By Alyssa Sonnenburg   |   02.24.26
It is no secret that our culture has become increasingly sexualized. More than that, it has been increasingly sexualized towards our children.
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.
