Free Republic

We need to quit blaming the Democrats for the Outrageous Border Crisis. The Republicans have done just as much for the illegal aliens with our tax dollars. Where I live they just came out with 2024 initiatives in Sangamon County Illinois which is 99 percent Republican.

Absolutely Disgusting! These Elected officials in Joliet,Illinois First DENIED applying for a Multi -Million dollar Grant from the Feds, now the truth is coming out!

Illinois GOP Chairman Don Tracy released the following statement: Finally, I would like to conclude this week’s Chairman’s Memo by thanking Kevin McCarthy for his service as Speaker. Kevin McCarthy won back the House over two tough election cycles by being a prolific fundraiser and recruiter, and elected a record number of women and minority members serving in Congress. " Our nation would not have the House Republican majority without Kevin McCarthy. It took a lot of flying, even stopping in Illinois a few times to support our candidates, fundraising, and strength of courage to lead national efforts to secure...

State of Illinois tax incentives exceeding half a billion dollars are a comparatively small part of taxpayer money that will go to Gotion, Inc. for an electric vehicle (EV) battery factory in Illinois. Through federal tax credits alone, which so far are going mostly unreported, Gotion will be paid billions more than its construction costs. In other words, taxpayers will be paying many times over the cost of a new factory they will not own. It will be owned, instead, by Gotion, and Gotion is widely reported to have close connections to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). Here are the...

I’m running as a Democrat! Republican leaders in Illinois are selected to keep incumbent democrats elected. They collect donor, monies and use it against the will of the donor. I have seen an absolute failure in Lake County leadership while candidates get ignored unless it was profitable and consultants ruin our townships. I’ve seen women be disparaged, minority slurs used by leaders that weren’t admonished. As much as I love everyone that helped, supported and believed in me. I can no longer align myself with these individuals. They are corrupt profiteers. I hope you continue to support my mission. More...

You Can't make this stuff up! Tony McCombie who they proclaimed on stage is the First woman Minority Leader for the Illinois Republican Party. Such a darn shame and disgrace. The fight to turn the Republican Party back to its Conservative Illinois Party Platform Continues! https://stampactpac.locals.com/post/1565253/richard-irvins-voting-record

Red Chinese Illegal Border Crossers Have Ties to People’s Liberation Army Laurence F. Sanford | American Security Council Foundation | 7-25-23 (Condensed) Chinese Communist Party (CCP) military-age males are illegally crossing the American border. Michael Yon, a war correspondent, states thousands of young, physically fit Chinese males are heading to the U.S. after passing through the Darian Gap jungle, which separates Columbia from Panama. After emerging from the jungle, they often spend one night at the UN/US-funded San Vincente camp or Hotel Tonosi before boarding luxury buses heading north toward Mexico. Yon observed one group at the Tonosi Hotel following...

Group of seven Springfield churches gathers to discuss best way to respond to hate towards LGBTQAI+ Attendees pointed in particular to recent unsubstantiated claims by a local pastor ( Pastor Eric Hansen) alleging that a transgender person had exposed themselves to a child in a locker room in Springfield – and a column by Catholic Bishop Thomas John Paprocki in which he appeared to defend laws in Uganda criminalizing homosexual acts in that country.

Abate In Illinois is always seen as Loud and Proud, nobody is gonna tell these Motor Cycle Riders what they can and cannot do when it comes to their motorcycles. This is from their page: What is ABATE? "A Brotherhood Aimed Toward Education ensures that the rights and freedoms enjoyed by motorcyclists/off-roaders/ATV riders in Illinois will not disappear. ABATE believes that freedom of choice is one we can’t lose and will work with state and local legislators to ensure that freedom is never lost for motorcyclists in the State of Illinois. ABATE will ensure that motorcycles are a primary mode...

Absolutely USELESS Illinois State Reps do not even know the difference between Right and Wrong. I am Stunned But I know I shouldn't Be. State Reps like Brad Halbrook Depend on their Own thinking instead of getting clues from Our Constitution or Expert Legal advice from people who lead in the field. Absolutely DISGUSTING! VOTE THEM ALL OUT FOLKS!!

Help! My mind escapes me! LOL! We have a new group forming and boy do we need rules for the yahoos!

The Illinois Republican Party remained mostly silent during the April 4th election cycle, with the exception of two social media posts encouraging people to vote – but behind the scenes, the IL GOP general counsel and top advisor to chairman Don Tracy was working as a paid legal advisor to an anti-grassroots slate of candidates, and approving mailers with the IL GOP postage discount – despite Tracy’s comments that the state party wasn’t going to get involved in the election, in another dig aimed directly at the conservative base of the party. Tracy and the IL GOP despise the grassroots...

IN STATE AFTER STATE… Democrats Are Running as Republicans to Get into Office – They Even Have a Name for It – They Call it “Secret Sleepers”- Gateway Pundit 08/10/22. It was the Gateway Pundit that got my curiosity up and was exactly in line with this GUT feeling I was having. Also echoing in my ears, the words from a friend who attends a lot of Sangamon County Republican Fundraisers, He said to me: “why are there all these Big Democratic Union Bosses at the fundraisers I go to?” Well, I attended the Annual Lincoln Day dinner on May...

During Saturday’s Illinois Republican State Central Committee (SSC) meeting in Edwardsville, Larry Smith and Rhonda Belford were the deciding votes, during a Motion of No-Confidence, that saved Illinois Republican Party Chairman Don Tracy’s job – at least for now, in a blow to the grassroots movement that’s sweeping across the state. The meeting, which was held at the Holiday Inn & Suites, was set up by Tracy to deliberately silence the voices of the grassroots during the public comment section of the meeting by limiting the number of conservative activists who could speak. In an email obtained by Illinois Review,...

Illinois Republican Party Chairman Don Tracy has made it clear, in the form of a new committee that he’s coincidentally chairing, that the state party should have the right to officially endorse their preferred candidates in primaries in a deliberate attempt to stymie grassroots candidates – and prevent them from winning in primary elections. But there’s another motive as well – and it’s not political, but rather financial – and it benefits a select few within Tracy’s inner circle – including his close ally and top legal advisor John Fogarty, who serves as the general counsel to the Illinois Republican...

The Washington, D.C. home of right-wing activist Steve Bannon appears to have been swatted again. Police and rescue workers responded to a shooting call at Bannon’s Thursday morning.

WASHINGTON (7News) — Former White House advisor Steve Bannon was the victim of a "swatting" incident at his D.C. home steps away from the U.S. Capitol and Supreme Court., D.C.

When officers arrived, they found no evidence of a shooting.

Illinois Republican Party Chairman Don Tracy caught some of his fellow state central committee (SSC) members off guard this week when several of them received an email naming them to the new Endorsement Policy Committee, which Tracy will chair – paving the way for the chairman and the state party to officially endorse their preferred candidates in primary elections, in an apparent dig at the grassroots-base of the party. In January, Tracy floated this idea during an interview with Bishop on Air, and blamed the top of the ticket for the midterm election losses this past November – saying that...

Former President Donald Trump hosted a small gathering of about 60 attendees, all handpicked by the former president, to attend a private launch party for his latest book, Letters To Trump, in the White and Gold Room of his Palm Beach estate, Mar-a-Lago, on Monday evening. The mega-exclusive event was held on a day when Mar-a-Lago is closed – but the luxurious estate remained open for the former president and his special guests. Former Democratic Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich, whose prison sentence was commuted by President Trump on February 18, 2020, made a surprise appearance after the former president extended...

The Richard Uihlein-funded People Who Play By The Rules PAC, in recent quarterly disclosures, reported $1.3 million cash-on-hand – but the disclosures also reveal that the PAC paid three political consultants $142,000, while spending just $3,725.56 to support conservative school board candidates over the last several months, records reveal. The founder, president and treasurer of the PAC received the majority of the consulting fees, totaling $75,000 to Starfish Consulting LLC, while the rest went to a consulting firm owned by Orland Park Mayor Keith Pekau, who was paid $26,000 through Fahrenheit Consulting Group, while $41,000 went to a consulting firm...
