Bishop E.W. Jackson is a national conservative evangelical leader who argues that America's crises are the result of departure from faith in God and the Judeo-Christian principles which founded America. While the Apostles of Wokeism have ridiculed evangelical patriotism as "Christian nationalism," Jackson's response is, "Loving our country as a gift from God is not about hating other people or nations. It is about being good stewards of the wonderful gift of liberty we have been given and wanting to preserve it."

Bryn Spejcher, a 32 year-old woman stabbed her date 108 times in a marijuana induced psychotic episode. Evidently, all it took was two hits of high potency THC in a water bong. According to an article in the LA Times, Bryn also "turned the knife on herself and her dog." The relationship between high potency TCH in today's marijuana and psychiatric disorders is becoming painfully evident. THC intoxication can also induce a temporary psychotic episode in some individuals, especially at high doses. https://nida.nih.gov/publications/research-reports/marijuana/references

The U.S. Senate passed the so-called Respect for Marriage Act by a vote of 61-36. Prior to the roll call vote, the amendments offered by U.S. Senators Lee, Rubio and Lankford were each voted down. The bill now goes to the U.S. House for their vote since it differs a bit from the version the House previously passed.

Former Chicago Bear Quarterback Jim Harbaugh is currently the head coach of the Michigan Wolverines. In an interview with ESPN’s Gene Wojciechowski he said “the abortion issue is one that’s so big that it needs to be talked about.” Harbaugh went on to say that he tells his players and staff that he and his wife would raise their baby that is a result of an unplanned pregnancy. At a pro-life fundraising event in mid-July he told the crowd "I believe in having the courage to let the unborn be born. I love life. I believe in having a loving care and respect for life and death. My faith and my science are what drive these beliefs in me." ~Harbaugh

Illinois Family Institute is looking forward to welcoming Kevin and Sam Sorbo to our annual fall banquet in on October 28th to share their faith, concerns about the secular culture and the need to return to Judeo-Christian values. The Sorbos are a different kind of “power couple” — they are, in our opinion, an amazing Christian husband & wife team who, despite being blacklisted by Hollywood, have been very outspoken about abortion, public school indoctrination, illegal immigration, fatherlessness and a host of other social issues.

U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz exposes the words of Joe Biden, Bill Clinton, and Dick Durbin’s where they were initially opposed to abortion and critical of Roe v. Wade.

To the mushy Christians who say claim that pro-lifers are not doing enough for moms and children, saying that we aren't pro-child: you’re WRONG. For decades, pro-lifers have been doing all the work you say needs to be done - and more. "You are welcome to get off the couch and join us," says Allie Beth Stuckey. She is absolutely correct. This "your not pro-child" accusation is of the devil. It is used by feminist who are trying to discredit the good work of pro-family organizations pro-life organizations. You won't see them at abortion clinics praying or counseling Scripture tells us to rescue those stumbling towards death. It is absolutely necessary and sufficient to be pro-life. Pro-life means being pro-child. There is no distinction.

Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson (R-NC) doesn't mince words when it comes to the current transgender madness being pushed on our culture and the agenda being taught to our children in our government schools.

Following this speech, Mr. Robinson began traveling to spread a message of common-sense conservatism: Protecting the life of the unborn, defending the 2nd Amendment, giving parent’s back control over their children’s education, standing up for law enforcement, addressing veteran’s care, and enacting election reform. Mr. Robinson is a married father of two. He is a member of the Republican Party and he is the first African-American to hold the office.

WILLIAM BARR, FORMER UNITED STATES ATTORNEY GENERAL: What people forget about the Durham investigation, and I find it annoying, is that Durham came in, and he spent -- I asked him to spend some time looking at what I would say were peripheral issues. But we had to look at them, like the role of foreign intelligence services and so forth, because we were waiting for the I.G.'s report to be finished, which really got into what the FBI's, quote, spying on the president's campaign. And that was not provided until December of 2019. So at the end of 2019, that's when he is able to get into that stuff. What happens three months later? COVID. Grand juries shut down across the nation. If -- whether or not he had a grand jury, if people know that you can't call a grand jury, they are not going to come in and voluntarily talk to you. So that definitely hampered the investigation until almost the eve of the election.

So please, have your private health paperwork in order for inspection by government officials.

Happy Holidays or Merry Christmas; What's the Point? The war on Christmas is waged by progressives who want to reduce our public holidays to secular absurdities. The Christian celebration of the birth of the Son of God has given way to myths, fairy tales and commercialization. But the Truth about Christmas has eternal significance. Kenna Rose explains...
