The State Is Not a Parent
By Thomas Hampson   |   05.06.26
For the past half century, I have watched the federal government, state governments, and local governments throughout this country - including here in Illinois - systematically squeeze parents out of their children's care and replace them with agents of the state.
Join the Movement to Overturn Obergefell
By Alyssa Sonnenburg   |   04.23.26
When Obergefell was originally passed, it was championed as this win for “adult equality.” After all, it was marketed as homosexual couples just wanting the same legal benefits as heterosexual couples, such as tax breaks.
The Predator Protection Act
By Thomas Hampson   |   04.22.26
Illinois lawmakers are considering changes that reduce restrictions on convicted child sex offenders—cutting buffer zones near schools and easing reporting requirements. This isn’t reform. It’s a step backward for child safety. Protecting children should be non-negotiable.
When Speech Is Silenced: The Case for Ethics Reform in Talk Therapy
By Thomas Hampson   |   04.13.26
When the state limits what can be said in therapy, it’s no longer about healing—it’s about controlling the narrative. That should concern everyone.
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.
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.
Epstein, Eugenics, Transhumanism & ‘Directed Evolution’
By Alex Newman   |   03.14.26
Jeffrey Epstein’s crimes didn’t stop at trafficking minors. He poured millions into elite universities and cultivated relationships with scientists researching gene editing, AI, and “directed evolution.” Evidence suggests a disturbing interest in eugenics and transhumanism. Why is no one talking about this?
Turning the Tables: The Fight Against Explicit Material in Schools
By Thomas Hampson   |   03.12.26
On February 24, 2026—the same evening President Trump called for a national ban on gender ideology in schools during his State of the Union address—Rep. Mary Miller (R-IL-15) introduced H.R. 7661, the Stop the Sexualization of Children Act.
Epstein –The Information Mercenary
By Thomas Hampson   |   03.09.26
There is still confusion about the real Jeffrey Epstein. Was he a gifted poseur — a college dropout and social climber whose crimes against minors and appetite for other people's money were his primary motivations? Or was he a covert intelligence asset, a blackmailing architect of elite corruption, a Bond villain with a private island?
Not Voting Promises Illinois Will Get Worse
By Alyssa Sonnenburg   |   03.05.26
The Institute for Family Studies recently reported that more and more young families are leaving blue states (like Illinois) in favor of red states due to growth opportunities and affordable living.
Jeffrey Epstein’s Secret War on the Human Genome
By Thomas Hampson   |   03.03.26
Jeffrey Epstein wasn’t just funding science — he was embedding himself inside America’s elite institutions. $17M+ flowed into Harvard. A furnished office. Keycard access for 10 years after his conviction. Emails reveal discussions of eugenics, “designer babies,” gene editing, behavioral modification — even plans for a breeding program at Zorro Ranch. This went far beyond philanthropy.
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?
The Wexner Deposition: A Study in What Wasn’t Asked
By Thomas Hampson   |   02.26.26
A major Epstein witness testified under oath for five hours — yet key issues were never pursued, including networks, surveillance systems, and institutional ties. What wasn’t asked may be more revealing than what was said. Oversight without accountability isn’t oversight.
The Intelligence Operation: What the Epstein Files Now Prove
By Thomas Hampson   |   02.25.26
On the morning I began writing this article (02/19/2026), Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, formerly known as Prince Andrew, was arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office. His alleged crime? Forwarding confidential government documents to Jeffrey Epstein.
