The following is a sample of articles by cultural warrior Laurie Higgins, one of my favorite conservative writers, who has done yeoman’s work over many years exposing the LGBTQ+ agenda. Higgins always deserved a greater national following than she got as a writer for Illinois Family Institute (where I was once employed). This makes it all the more astonishing that Higgins was effectively pushed out in 2023 as IFI’s main writer and researcher by executive director Dave Smith, for reasons that had nothing to do with the exemplary quality of her work. Smith’s rageful mistreatment of Higgins makes for an infuriating story [see her Facebook page for more details]. He will have to answer to God for his abuse of power and cruelty toward Laurie, even as he knew she was a soon-to-be widow with her husband of nearly 50 years dying of cancer. But that’s another story.
The good news is that Smith’s and IFI’s loss is American Greatness’ and Breakthrough Ideas’ (Jeannie Ives’) gain, as Higgins’ articles seem to be gaining more national attention than ever before.
