As we reach the midpoint of the Illinois Legislature's session, we decided to check in with two political reporters to see what's been going on in both chambers of the statehouse.

With the Illinois Legislature taking a hard left turn in policy, is this just a ploy to make Governor Pritzker look to be the most progressive governor in the United States? While pundits and commentators now speculate his potential attempt to upgrade his address to 1600 Pennsylvania, we look at these policies that are being pushed and championed by a new wave of far-left progressives and try to make sense of them as they pertain to the whole of Illinois. Illinois State Representative John Cabello, one of the few active law enforcement officers to serve in The Illinois legislature, joins us today to talk about these bills and the overall atmosphere in Springfield. #Illinois #twill #beinformed #lawenforcement

Monte Larrick is joined by Shane Hartman, the executive director of the Illinois Church Action on Alcohol and Addiction Problems (ILCAAAP). Springfield has made slaves of so many Illinois citizens, through the legalization of recreational marijuana and betting on anything. ILCAAAP is working to combat the evil coming out of our legislature through educating Illinois youth about the dangers of drugs, gambling and liquor. "The main thing is to let the kids know you care." Hartman stated when asked what is the most persuasive argument to reach kids in our age of social media. "You care about their future, you care about where they're at right now. . .social media presents a picture that's not quite true.

In this Episode of Law With Mr. Lafayette, the Juvenile Justice system's philosophy and practice is discussed. A by-product of the Progressive Era, reformers believed that juveniles deserved their own court system and a new approach to deal with delinquent, poor, vagrant youths of both genders who were living in the urban centers that were developing in the rapidly industrialized America of the 19th century. From the New York House of Refuge, established in 1825, following the overwhelmed Houses of Refuge reform, training, and industrial schools were created across America. These all placed an emphasis on education and industrial training programs as the names implied. In 1899, the Illinois Legislature enacted the Juvenile Court Act of 1899, creating the first in the nation, court system focused exclusively on juveniles. Other states followed. In Massachusetts, juveniles were first addressed in 1847, when the Commonwealth opened the first state-sponsored reform school for boys in Westborough, the Lyman School. The first public training school for girls at Lancaster, Massachusetts followed in 1854. Prior to this, facilities for the punishment and detainment of juveniles consisted mainly of jails and prisons. Over the decades 3 additional institutions were constructed. By the 1960s however, scandals over the treatment or rather mistreatment of juveniles at these and other institutions led to the eventual deinstitutionalization of training schools.

The Illinois legislature and recent events seem to be increasing the pressure for Christians to pull their kids out of public school and start home education. We know that public school proficiency rates are abysmal… though public schoolers are proficient in wokeism. And there’s a reason for that. There’s really no excuse to at least start thinking about homeschooling. Here to provide some of that food for thought is Kirk Smith, the executive director of the Illinois Christian Home Educators (ICHE).… Continue Reading

For months, Illinois' top elected officials, including Gov. JB Pritzker, House Speaker Chris Welch and Senate President Don Harmon said ethics reform was one of lawmakers' top priorities for this year's legislative session.

In today's episode, I have spoken about patience and how patience can help us in our life. I have also narrated a story of Abraham Lincoln and his journey of becoming a President of America from a very humble background. Lincoln is most famous for leading the country during the American Civil War. His leadership in the North helped the country to remain strong and defeat the South keeping the country united. He also pushed for the freedom of all slaves throughout the nation. Abraham Lincoln came from humble beginnings. He was born in a poor farmers family. His father lost everything when Abraham was young and they had to move to Perry County, Indiana where they struggled to get by. When he was just nine years old, his mother died. As a young man, Lincoln worked a variety of jobs including shopkeeper, surveyor, and postmaster. He soon moved into politics and won a seat in the Illinois Legislature, when he was 25. Lincoln served on the Illinois State Legislature for several terms. Abraham Lincoln became the 16th president of the United States and is regarded as one of America's greatest heroes due to his role as savior of the Union and emancipator of enslaved people.

Where has responsibility in government gone? It seems that most politicians want to pass decisive decisions to peers or other branches of government, and that is how we have descended into our current big centralized government: municipalities, school boards, and counties have mostly despised their authority in favor of the state, and likewise the states in favor of the federal government. Nobody, especially our irresponsible Springfield lawmakers, wants to be held responsible for their awful decisions and corruption.… Continue Reading
