This call to end the governor’s ability to declare an emergency for extended periods of time is extremely important. State Rep. Dan Ugaste (R-St. Charles) is absolutely correct to confront Big Government Democrats on their complacency to do their job to check the executive branch tyrannical rule.

It is bad enough that children are failing to meet proficiency standards in English Language Arts, Math and Science, but now the focus of school time is on social engineering, humanistic training, sexual immorality, revisionist history and other godless subject matters. Right here in Illinois, a shocking number of kids hear messages about choosing their gender or embracing an LGBTQ lifestyle … and our state lawmakers have mandated “comprehensive sex ed” for kids as young as kindergarten. Why are adults talking to our innocent children about sex, masturbation and contrived gender issues? Are they grooming our children for early unhealthy sexual activities? There is no question about it... godless indoctrination that is already well underway in our public schools (not by every teacher), is one of the reasons we see so many of our children leaving the faith when they are out of high school.

On the Dan & Amy morning radio program this morning in Chicagoland, they discussed indoctrination in our government schools and the documentary “Who’s Children Are They?” If you have 20 minutes, you may want to give this a listen. Near the end, Dan rightly explains to his listening audience that our school systems are not reformable, and that the need for school choice is taking off. We are very glad for these voices of reason in the public square saying essentially the same thing we've been saying for years. Of course, IFI is emphasizing the most important aspect of why kids should leave the training camps of the devil… so that we teach them how they can become Disciples of Jesus Christ.

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.

Not only does the black-market thrive, but it creates a “gray market.” Crime increases while property values decrease. What’s more, insurance companies will not cover any damages because marijuana is still a Schedule 1 Drug. Watch to learn more.

This is a short clip of Dr. Robert Malone interview of Pediatric Cardiologist Dr. Kirk Milhoan, MD on the risk of myocarditis in children and young adults. This risk would never be tolerated for anything else, and especially not for an almost zero risk age group. The Truth About Vaccine-induced Myocarditis Written by Rav Arora - The Epoch Times (January 20, 2022) https://www.theepochtimes.com/the-truth-about-vaccine-induced-myocarditis_4220643.html

Chicago and Cook County snollygosters are now requiring COVID-19 vaccination proof for indoor venues due to a surge in infection of a "pandemic" virus that has a 98 percent recovery rate. According to the new guidelines, those 5 and older must show proof of full vaccination, but anyone ages 16 and older will also need to provide identification that matches their vaccination record. So please, have your private health paperwork in order for inspection by government officials.

Oh, I- just for me, I mean, my kids hear me rant about this every day, so I might as well tell you guys it's- it's the crushing impact that our COVID policies have had on young kids and children. By far the least serious risk for serious illness. But I mean, even teenagers, you know, a healthy teenager has a one in a million chance of getting, and dying from COVID, which is way lower than, you know, dying in a car wreck on a road trip. But they have suffered and sacrificed the most, especially kids and underrepresented at risk communities. And now we have the Surgeon General saying there's a mental health crisis among our kids. The risk of suicide girl suicide attempts among girls now up 51% this year, black kids nearly twice as likely as white kids to die by suicide. I mean, school closures, lockdowns, cancellation of sports. You couldn't even go on a playground in the D.C. area without cops scurrying- getting- shooing the kids off tremendous negative impact on kids, and it's been an afterthought. You know, it's it's it's hurt their dreams, their future learning, loss, risk of abuse, their mental health. And now, with our knowledge, our vaccines. If our policies don't reflect a more measured and reasonable approach for our children, they will be paying for our generation's decisions, the rest of their lives. And that, to me, is the greatest underreported story of the past year.

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...

If you watch FOX & Friends Weekend, you are likely familiar with co-host Pete Hegseth. In this video, he addresses the alarming decline in the percentage of young Americas, 18-29-year-olds, who believe that America is an exceptional country and the rising percentage of individuals who believe that other nations are greater than the U.S. Hegseth also describes how an intentional, progressive takeover, one hundred years in the making, facilitated the introduction and indoctrination of Critical Theory, Critical Race Theory, the 1619 Project, and blatant anti-Americanism pro-Marxism to students in government schools. Please watch and share this video with others who are concerned about the state of America’s education system – and plan to watch Hegseth’s upcoming five-part series, “The Miseducation of America,” airing in January 2022.
