HB 5521 would tie the hands of law enforcement by banning facial recognition—even as criminals exploit anonymity in our cities. This isn’t about privacy vs. safety. We can have both with proper safeguards. Tell your State Rep: OPPOSE HB 5521.

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.

I can recall the days of the late 1960s and early ’70s when the military draft sent notices to young men telling them that they had been “selected” to serve our country in the military.

I used to love to fly. It began with my first jet ride in 1969 out of Bismarck, North Dakota. I don’t recall the destination airport, but I was entered in a speaking competition in Atlantic City, New Jersey.

Illinois SB 2991 addresses a real gap in the law — but mandatory punishment demands professional investigations, formal hearings, and a higher evidentiary standard. Protect kids.
