Observations from Springfield
By David Curtin   |   11.21.24
The Democrats will still have supermajorities in each chamber of the Illinois General Assembly in the 104th General Assembly (2025-2026). It seems that they are primarily focused on legislative ways to “Trump-proof” Illinois, whatever that entails.

The Left-Wing, Anti-Christian SPLC
By David E. Smith   |   06.14.24
The Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) is a left-wing group intent on causing racial animosity and divisions in our nation.
