2017 was the year Rauner (and his friends) wrecked the Illinois GOP and pulled out the rug from pro-life and pro-Trump voters. Is it safe to say Rauner & Co. decimated the landscape for Republican candidates, possibly, probably insuring statewide defeats for Republicans for years to come? Rauner and his money grabbers at Illinois Policy […]

The Koch brothers’ backed Illinois Policy Institute is back on the Rauner train. After bashing Rauner for a few months, Illinois Policy Institute’s John Tillman penned an op-ed in the pro-Rauner Chicago Tribune praising him. “If Gov.

Rauner, Illinois Policy Institute get their cash from anti-Trump Kochs
The Koch brothers hate President Trump so much they announced they will be supporting the Democrats. The Koch’s “conservative” donor network wants amnesty for illegal immigrants, open borders, big federal subsidies and no tariffs. Good for them, bad for real Americans.

Is Dick Durbin an immigration hypocrite? Reprinted from TownHall.com… Law enforcement doesn’t get any appreciation from Democrats. The 2016 election cycle had anti-police rhetoric from Hillary, and President Obama often got condescending comments in as well his entire time in office.

Letter to the editor: Media hypocrisy on Trump, illegal immigration

Trafficked in America
I spy with my Illinois eye. Downstate here. Farms (and by extension farmers) hold a special place in our collective Illinois’ hearts. Food is life. We understand and are proud that Illinois is farm country. We do our part to safely and cost effectively feed the world. But take another look down on the […]

What do Bruce Rauner, JB Pritzker, and Rahm Emanuel have in common? They all hate President Donald Trump. In the middle of a planned speech Monday, Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel pivoted from the script to take a shot at President Donald Trump. “I think it is an absolute mistake what’s happening on our border in […]

Rauner betrayed voters when he made Illinois a sanctuary state and here’s why
I spy with my Illinois eye. Downstate here. Illegal Aliens- Why not help the oppressed? I remember the first time I heard the phrase “illegal aliens”. I think I was a teenager at the time so I may not have been thinking clearly anyway but the only definition I knew for an alien was something […]
