The Illinois Department of Corrections has finally come clean with a list of inmates released since March 1, despite the “shelter-in-place order” issued by the Governor. The data should scare the hell out of Illinois residents. While many of the offenders had already been scheduled for “mandatory supervised release,” plenty more were released on...

However, some recent stories have shown us just how brazen Facebook’s big tech censorship has become.

Two independent sources inside Governor Pritzker’s administration have confirmed that their boss plans to keep Illinois closed until after the July 4th weekend.

Good ol’ JB “Judgement: Bad” Pritzker won life’s lottery, born into a silver spoon in his mouth. While he inherited great wealth through his ancestor’s hard work, he didn’t inherit great decision-making skills. For instance, in the middle of a purported pandemic, he complained that some Illinois medical facilities didn’t have enough masks, gloves,...

The lockdown orders used to be about controlling the Coronavirus. In many places across America, it feels like the lockdown is now used to control the Deplorables. And Americans have taken to the streets to revolt, bringing their long guns in many instances. In Pennsylvania, huge crowds formed to protest the continued lockdown...

We didn’t hear much about a Moms Demand Action-branded promo graphic that we ran in the April issue of GunNews. Not until a 20-year-old college kid sent me a nasty text, accusing *us* of racism for running it. “How about you stop discriminating against black men? Your ad is racist as f***. You’re an...
