— Does ‘diversity’ include GOP? – LARRY PENNER
https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2020/aug/23/letters-to-the-editor-does-diversity-include-gop/
(FROM THE LETTER: During the 2020 Democratic National Convention, five Republicans crossed the aisle to speak and endorse Joe Biden for president: John Kasich, Susan Molinari, Colin Powell, Christine Whitman and Meg Whitman. Mr. Biden promised that if elected president he would have the most diverse cabinet and administration in history, representing the gorgeous American mosaic. He also promised to appoint the first female African-American Supreme Court justice. Republicans represent a significant portion of America. How many of them will be invited to serve in Mr. Biden’s Cabinet and administration? Will any of these five Republicans be offered a job in a Biden White House? Will Mr. Biden make a public commitment on this issue of inclusion for Republicans prior to Election Day? Voters want to know.)
WASHINGTON EXAMINER
— OUTSTANDING: Republican National Committee passes resolutions defending Christopher Columbus and blasting ‘cancel culture’ – Naomi Lim
https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/republicans-pass-resolutions-defending-christopher-columbus-and-blasting-cancel-culture
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Republicans opted against drafting a 2020 platform, but they did agree on a handful of statements that reflect the party’s core values. The Republican National Committee passed seven resolutions during its annual summer meeting before members and this cycle’s convention delegates vote Monday to renominate President Trump as the GOP standard-bearer for the general election against Democrat Joe Biden. The RNC’s business agenda included affirming its decision to keep its 2016 platform, essentially a nonbinding messaging document outlining Republican positions on a range of issues, until 2024. They also stuck up for Christopher Columbus, credited with the 1492 European discovery of the “New World” of the Americas. Statues erected in Columbus’s honor were toppled or desecrated this summer during protests against racial injustice over the Italian explorer’s treatment of indigenous people, particularly in modern-day Haiti and the Dominican Republic. Republicans on Saturday also ripped “cancel” or “callout” culture, which encourages boycotts of people or businesses by those who don’t condone their comments or actions. “The Republican National Committee voted to approve seven resolutions 1) to conserve history and combat prejudice with respect to Christopher Columbus 2) to uphold the First Amendment in response to the coronavirus pandemic and the ‘cancel culture’ amendment,” Georgia Republican Party Chairman David Shafer tweeted. Other resolutions touted the Trump administration’s accomplishments, urged Congress to do more to prevent Chinese companies dominating the country’s medical supply chain amid the COVID-19 outbreak, and pushed lawmakers “to overhaul the Administrative Procedure Act of 1946 refuting the legitimacy of the Southern Poverty Law Center to identify hate groups,” according to Shafer. A second GOP official in the Westin Charlotte meeting room, closed to reporters and TV crews, confirmed to the Washington Examiner that the resolutions were passed. National Republican Committee leaders and state party committee heads are gathering this weekend to provide updates, take part in training sessions, and attend meetings on topics from budgets to internal rules. They’ll be joined on Monday by Republican convention delegates to vote on the 2020 presidential nomination. Trump is visiting Asheville, North Carolina, next week, but White House and campaign aides remain mum on whether he plans to make a surprise appearance in Charlotte. The president plans to deliver his nomination acceptance speech on Thursday at the White House. Most of the Charlotte convention will be replaced by virtual prime-time programming similar to the Democratic convention last week. The Charlotte host committee has already begun its closeout process, which incorporates $3.2 million worth of cash and in-kind donations to the local community that had banked on a convention-related economic boost.)

James Antle III (DIERSEN: Who represents the Republican Party base in your precinct, in your municipal district, in your municipality, in your township, in your county district, and in your county? I represent the Republican Party base in my precinct and I am one of the far too few who represent the Republican Party base in Wheaton’s West District, in Wheaton, in Milton Township, in DuPage County’s 4th District, and in DuPage County. The Republican Party base supports the traditional family, right to life, immigration, illegal drugs, Second Amendment, and equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) planks in the Republican Party platform. Beyond tragically, far too many leaders of the Milton Township Republican Organization, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Illinois Republican Party reject some, if not most, if not all of the aforesaid planks.)
