We cannot allow the camel (Democrats) to slip their nose under the tent. Say what? It’s an old saying that means once someone or something maneuvers behind your defenses they assume a position of strength. In this case, if we allow the Left to start chipping away at the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn the City of Chicago draconian anti-gun laws, the Left will not stop until they have what they have dreamed of: Confiscation. And Illinois Democrat Senator Dick “Tricky Dick” Durbin is right in the middle of it. Continue reading “Once Again, Our Guns Are Under Attack In Illinois”
The Rattle of Musketry
Dear Dickie, Yesterday the Panel for the Reelection of Dick Durbin sort of drifted to TEA Party issues. We were supposed to discuss our massive debt, record deficits, unsustainable entitlements, and the deterioration of the country’s finances in the past 14 years. I’m not quite sure how we got on the subject of the TEA Party. Tom, our TEA Party Democrat, had much to contribute, as did Charles (the CPA), Ralph (our retired member), and – of all people – Sarah (whom you refer to as a “soccer mom”). Continue reading “The Rattle of Musketry”
Help Keep ICE News Alive
If we were a left-wing website, George Soros and Michael Bloomberg would have already opened their wallets to support us. The Illinois Conservative Examiner is, by it very title, a conservative publication. So, the Hollywood, Washington and left-wing autocrats hate us – and we won’t see a dime from that crowd. In this critical election year, we cannot afford to let liberal media activism go unchecked.
We’ve hoping to interest you, conservative America to step up and help keep the Conservative cause – and by that we mean proudly American – visible and informative in this important election year. Not too much to ask for, is it? Continue reading “Help Keep ICE News Alive”
After Flight 77 Hit The Pentagon On 9/11, The Following Happened
We would be far better served as a species if we were to turn our backs to the demands of despots like Vladimir Putin and religious fanatics such as those working to create an Islamic caliphate in the Middle East and move swiftly in the opposite direction. Imagine what tomorrow would be like if there were no despots and no philosopher Imams. Imagine a tomorrow where people respect the natural-born rights of others to practice whatever religion they chose. Americans are the shining light for freedom throughout the world. Our Military proudly and honorably wields that light. A chaplain, who happened to be assigned to the Pentagon, told of an incident that happened right after Flight 77 hit the Pentagon on 9/11. Continue reading “After Flight 77 Hit The Pentagon On 9/11, The Following Happened”
Senger Campaign Launches New Web Video
The Darlene Senger for Congress campaign launched a new web video today, “Darlene Senger, For a New Direction.” The video highlights the distinct differences between Bill Foster’s record of failure in Washington and Senger’s record of taking a solutions-driven approach and working across the aisle to drive real results in Illinois. Continue reading “Senger Campaign Launches New Web Video”
Maybe Isolationism Isn’t A Bad Idea
There was a headline in a few of yesterday’s newspapers that read “Ebola can spread by air travelers.” – Abuja, Nigeria: Nigerian health authorities raced to stop the spread of Ebola Saturday after a man sick with one of the world’s deadliest diseases brought it in by plane to Lagos, Africa’s largest city with 21 million people.
The fact that the traveler from Liberia could board an international flight has raised new fears that other passengers could take the disease beyond Africa due to weak inspections of passengers and the fact that Ebola’s symptoms are similar to other diseases. Islamic fanatics are fighting to take over Nigeria. Would they use the Nigerian international airport to launch strikes againt the United States? – ICE News Editorial Staff Continue reading “Maybe Isolationism Isn’t A Bad Idea”
Refugees or Lawbreakers? A Catholic Perspective
What to make of the current border crisis? Are those unaccompanied minors’ refugees, escaping unjust oppression (sex trafficking and drug violence) or are they lawbreakers, a long list of illegal immigrants coming into the United States? Continue reading “Refugees or Lawbreakers? A Catholic Perspective”
Radical Feminists And The War On Women
The media has worked hard to convince Americans that the feminist movement has the wellbeing of women foremost in their minds and actions: Women worldwide – not only in the United States. Whenever a liberal woman is attacked or criticized for her words or actions, feminists join to soundly condemn the criticism. When a conservative woman is the target of similar actions, the movement is silent.
When the young women and girls were kidnapped in Nigeria by the Islamic Boko Haram extremist group they were characteristically silent – we at ICE News could not understand why. Then we figured it out: They really don’t care about universal sisterhood. They only care about political power and bashing capitalism in the United States and other Christian western countries.
The feminist movement has also been silent about the Washington Times story below. Continue reading “Radical Feminists And The War On Women”
Can Putin Survive?
There is a general view that Vladimir Putin governs the Russian Federation as a dictator, that he has defeated and intimidated his opponents and that he has marshaled a powerful threat to surrounding countries. This is a reasonable view, but perhaps it should be re-evaluated in the context of recent events. Continue reading “Can Putin Survive?”
Feds to Pay for $50 Million Resort for Illegal Alien Teens
Do you wish you were able to afford to go to a resort with pool, sauna, tennis courts, exercise room, sauna, steam room, racquetball courts, and all the trimmings? Too bad you aren’t an illegal alien teenager, maybe a member of MS 13. Because your tax dollars (pay up, sucker!) are going to pay for a $50 million magnet resort for them. Kristinn Taylor writes at Gateway Pundit: Continue reading “Feds to Pay for $50 Million Resort for Illegal Alien Teens”
