This morning it was announced that Juan Williams had been fired from NPR for his comments the previous night on the O’Reilly Factor regarding Muslims. Punishment was swift from the left because Williams had spoken out against their ideals of multiculturalism and political correctness. I don’t always agree with Juan Williams, but he’s a straight shooter and a wonderful commentator. All day, news channels have | Read More »
Mark Kirk was recently secretly recorded talking about watching out for possible voter fraud in Chicago and Rockford on November 2nd. Like it or not, it is a valid argument considering Illinois’ interesting voting past. The terms “vote early and vote often” and “the dead vote” didn’t come into everyday parlance from out of the blue. Just off hand, will the secret recorder be prosecuted | Read More »
The Senate race in Illinois has been thoroughly brutal with both Mark Kirk and Alexi Giannoulias hitting each other as often as possible about each others’ record. However, I feel the tide might be turning towards Kirk with less than a month to go to November 2nd.

Where are the Congressional hearings so members of Congress can | Read More »
Picture this scene… If the special election “costs taxpayers a dime, it’s probably a waste of money,” added Giannoulias, flanked by fellow Illinois Democrats U.S. Sen. Dick Durbin and U.S. Rep. Danny Davis at a campaign news conference on Chicago’s West Side to talk about jobs. Giannoulias made this statement despite a federal judge ruling that then Gov. Blago’s appointment of Roland Burris was illegal | Read More »
Our son Michael left for Afghanistan yesterday. His mother wrote the following yesterday as well, and with the news coming out of Afghanistan today, I thought I would repost this here. Please keep Michael in your prayers. Today my son Michael leaves for his second tour for Afghanistan, and as I tell him to be careful, he tells me not to worry I’ll be fine | Read More »

According to Rasmussen, the Illinois Senate race is a toss-up. That’s along with Colorado, Florida, North Carolina, Missouri, Nevada, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Washington, and Wisconsin. Don’t forget, the same report also shows Indiana, Arkansas, Delaware, and North Dakota as potential pickups away from Democrats. But since I live in Illinois, my main concern is Illinois and we can help the various races around the state. First, | Read More »
