May 9, 2025Dear editor; As I watch the making of a new Pope unfold, I keep wondering what Jesus Christ would say if he were here today. One might assume he would adamantly condemn the adulations being paid to the rock he built his church upon while more than 700
May 11, 2025Dear editor; Dems have to fight back in order to keep our country. The other guys have been destroying unions that built the middle class and increasing economic inequality ever since Franklin D. Roosevelt (FDR). FDR got us out of the depression with public works initiatives putting Americans
Did you happen to notice the white smoke wafting out of this page as you opened The Voice today? Hard to believe it, but we finally have an American Pope, and from Chicago no less. For the previous week or so it was so nice for the focus of the
By John & Nisha Whitehead “A standing military force, with an overgrown Executive will not long be safe companions to liberty.”—James Madison We are being frog-marched into tyranny at the end of a loaded gun. Or rather, hundreds of thousands of loaded guns. Let’s not mince words: President Donald Trump’s
April 29, 2025Dear editor; Under the guise of a conveniently focused concern for antisemitism on our nation’s college campuses, the Donald Trump administration is attempting to impose its own political views and distorted realities on what has been for centuries the bastion of free thinking and independent research, our academic
May 1, 2025Dear editor; The Executive Order titled “Restoring Truth and Sanity to American History” was signed March 27, targeting the Smithsonian’s National Museum of African American History and Culture (NMAAHC) for promoting an alleged “improper ideology.” This order threatens not only the ability of institutions to engage with the
By John & Nisha Whitehead “One of the most essential branches of English liberty is the freedom of one’s house. A man’s house is his castle.”—James Otis, Revolutionary War activist, on the Writs of Assistance, 1761 What the Founders rebelled against—armed government agents invading homes without cause—we are now being
I don’t know about you, but when I heard Donald Trump say he would make our country safe again, I felt a wave of comfort wash over me. For too long we’d been under threat from library books, institutes of higher learning, DEI, and the scourge of body order. So
By Bela “Bill” Suhayda Former president, Joe Biden, not only broke immigration laws and the U.S. Constitution, he chopped them up and burned them. Then he allowed an unprecedented 15 million unvetted, unvaccinated illegals into the country. Americans paying attention realized countries around the world had opened their prisons to
By John & Nisha Whitehead “We are fast approaching the stage of the ultimate inversion: the stage where the government is free to do anything it pleases.” — Ayn Rand One-hundred and thirty executive orders in under 100 days. Sweeping powers claimed in the name of “security” and “efficiency.” One
April 20, 2025Dear editor; This concerns current deportations without due process. Regardless of how one feels toward documented or undocumented immigrants in this country, ideally, all persons on American soil are entitled by the U.S. Constitution to due process under the law. I say “ideally” because Black Americans have been

Trump (chapter six): He has: Allowed a journalist to access classified military plans to combat the Houthis in Yemen; Fired members of the board of trustees of the Kennedy Center and named himself as its chairperson; Signed an executive order changing election rules, e.g.
By Bela “Bill” Suhayda I continue to be amazed how out of touch, ignorant, and downright dishonest Leftist Dems are with the American people. But then the realization hits me, this is the “new normal,” and I shouldn’t be surprised. I should know better than to think anything but malice
April 13, 2025Dear editor; When you were little and made a mess, what happened? Mom or Dad walked in and exclaimed, What on earth have you been doing? Or What is this mess you’ve made? Either way, you were expected to clean it up. You learned to accept responsibility and
April 9, 2025Dear editor; Another unnecessary anti-family bill is advancing in Springfield. The Homeschool Act (HB 2827) will impose fines and jail time on parents who don’t file a “Homeschool Declaration Form.” In other words, those that don’t register with their local district and provide their curriculum for the school
With the American Dream currently turning into the American Nightmare because of our Anarchist-in-Chief’s attempts at hosting an international version of the game show Let’s Make a Deal, I’ve decided that it’s a waste of time to rehash any of his threats to democracy and the sinking value of our
By John & Nisha Whitehead What we’re witnessing is the calculated use of emergency powers to concentrate power in the hands of the president, enrich the Deep State, and dismantle what remains of economic and constitutional safeguards.

April 6, 2025Dear editor; A recent letter to the editor in The Voice asserted that the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act requires unnecessary proof of citizenship before voting in federal elections.
