https://www.dailyherald.com/discuss/20220607/endorsement-grasso-in-gop-primary-for-congress-from-dist-6
(FROM THE ARTICLE: We favor Grasso. In addition to especially thoughtful approaches on difficult issues, he also boasts a range of public experience that would serve him well as a U.S. congressman. Before moving to Burr Ridge, he served on the Thomas Ford Library Board in Western Springs. He also spent 12 years on the DuPage County Board of Health and worked on Burr Ridge’s environmental quality commission before being elected a village trustee. The depth and variety of these experiences suggest a background that will be valuable both in understanding the complexities of the issues facing Congress and in working effectively with members of both parties. . .All offer various expressions of staunchly conservative positions that have little chance of energizing moderates or winning over Democrats who may be disenchanted with the current direction of the party. Grasso, however, presents an especially promising opportunity to mount a challenging and constructive campaign in November. He is endorsed.)

BURR RIDGE PATCH
— Republican Burr Ridge Mayor Gary Grasso Denounces GOP’s Darren Bailey asked him to withdraw and calling him an “albatross at the top of the ticket” and saying “He’s already lost the Governor’s race. Bailey is too extreme to hold any office.” – David Giuliani (COMMENT: Ever-increasingly, hate-filled conservative-hating conservative-haters promote hatred against Bailey. Do those who endorsed Grasso agree with what Grasso said about Bailey?)
https://patch.com/illinois/burrridge/burr-ridge-mayor-denounces-gops-bailey
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Burr Ridge Mayor Gary Grasso has condemned Republican gubernatorial candidate Darren Bailey’s 2017 comments comparing abortion to the Holocaust. “As a person with Jewish heritage on my mother’s side, Darren Bailey’s comments claiming abortion is worse than the Holocaust clearly disqualifies him, combined with his many other disqualifying positions, to hold any responsible office in this state,” Grasso, a Republican, said Thursday in a statement on Facebook. “Bailey should withdraw and give Republicans a chance to put forth a viable candidate. He’s already lost the Governor’s race. Bailey is too extreme to hold any office.” In a 2017 video on Facebook, Bailey said he believed abortion was one of the greatest atrocities in modern times. “The attempted extermination of the Jews of World War II doesn’t even compare on a shadow of the life that has been lost with abortion since its legalization,” Bailey said. After the video attracted attention last week, Bailey sought to clarify what he said. “The Holocaust is a human tragedy without parallel,” he said in a statement. “In no way was I attempting to diminish the atrocities of the Holocaust and its stain on history. I meant to emphasize the tragedy of millions of babies being lost. I support, and have met with, many people in the Jewish community in Illinois, and look forward to continuing to work with them to make Illinois a safer and more affordable place for everyone.” Gov. J.B. Pritzker, a Democrat seeking re-election, has launched an ad criticizing Bailey’s 2017 statement. Grasso did not list Bailey’s other “disqualifying” positions. He also did not suggest a replacement for Bailey. On Grasso’s Facebook page, many commenters criticized Grasso in response to his statement and expressed support for Bailey. On Sunday, Grasso reiterated his position on Bailey. “Bailey has not apologized for his comparison of abortion being worse than the Holocaust,” Grasso said. “Republicans who think they can get elected in November on their own merit must decide whether to distance themselves from and disavow the albatross at the top of the ticket.” In the June 28 Republican primary, Grasso lost to Orland Park Mayor Keith Pekau in the 6th Congressional District race. Grasso has not publicly endorsed Pekau.)

It can’t be admitting that they knowingly catapulted an unprincipled, incompetent and confused political hack into the Oval Office as leader of the free world, then continue to support his candidacy for a second term after totally flunking this one. Rather, it must be that Joe Biden — quite unexpectedly — has become “too old” to run again.)

— A third party could be successful. But probably not this one. To win voters, a party has to stand for something. But what would the Forward Party do in office? – Seth Masket (COMMENT: Anti-conservative Democrat plant, Libertarian plant, Green plant, Independent plant, and RINO leaders of the Republican Party, Illinois Republican Party, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Milton Township Republican Organization (MTRO) want conservatives to leave the Republican Party and form a new political party. Ever-increasingly, they do everything that they can to get rid of conservatives. I am a conservative. Since 2021, they have stopped me from raising funds from Republicans so that Republicans could help sponsor Wheaton’s Independence Day parades and fireworks. They gerrymandered my DuPage County Milton Township Precinct 9 in Wheaton in 2015. They ended my TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois chairmanship in 2012. They ended my Wheaton Chamber of Commerce Government Affairs Committee membership in 2011. They ended my MTRO webmaster service in 2010 and 2004. They ended my Illinois Center Right Coalition (ICRC) Steering Committee membership in 2007. They almost got ICRC to censure me for my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters in 2006. They ended my American Association of Political Consultants Midwest Chapter board membership in 2004. I should write a book about the aforesaid anti-conservatives.)

— In GOP races, Dems are buying ads to call out extremists. Is that ‘aggressive’ or ‘dangerous’? In some GOP primaries, Democrats are funding attack ads that call candidates “too conservative” or point out election lies. One strategist defends the tactic as “aggressive.” Others say it’s risky. – Phillip M. Bailey (COMMENT: The more of the following planks in the Republican Party platform that you support, the more that Democrats and Democrat plants, Libertarians and Libertarian plants, Greens and Green plants, Independents and Independent plants, and RINOs demonize you, denigrate you, and condemn you as being an extremist: individual responsibility, traditional marriage/family, right to life, immigration, illegal drugs, Second Amendment, and/or equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving).

https://www.nydailynews.com/opinion/ny-oped-tell-truth-asian-americans-20220809-zismae5ndndixero5t3vo7mspy-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: It happens almost every semester. A student will announce to my class that America is an irreducibly racist country, which benefits white people over everybody else. But if that’s the case, I reply, why would Asian-Americans be outpacing whites in education and earnings? Everyone shifts uncomfortably in their seats. Then someone says, “That’s not true. It’s the model-minority myth. ”Actually, it is true. But my fellow liberals don’t like to talk about it, because it seems to confirm the myth conservatives tell about the United States: that anyone can make it, if they simply try hard enough. That’s false. The odds are stacked against African-Americans, especially, thanks to centuries of slavery, segregation and more, not to mention ongoing current prejudice. But we should be able to acknowledge the facts of racism — including racism against Asians — without denying or diminishing the astonishing success of Asian-Americans.)

HARVARD BUSINESS REVIEW
— 10 Principles of Effective Organizations – Michael O’Malley (COMMENT: I should write a book about the following organizations: a) Milton Township Republican Organization (I have been one of its members since 1999, I served as its webmaster 2000-2004 and 2008-2010, I ran to be its Treasurer in 2004, and I have its best meeting attendance record), b) TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois (I served as its chairman 2005-2012), c) Wheaton Chamber of Commerce (I have been one of its members since 2003 and I was a member of its Government Affairs Committee 2003-2011, d) Illinois Center Right Coalition (I served as one of its Steering Committee members 2003-2007), and e) American Association of Political Consultants (I have been one of its few members in Illinois since 2003 and I served as a member of its Midwest Chapter board of directors 2001-2004.)
https://hbr.org/2022/08/10-principles-of-effective-organizations
(FROM THE ARTICLE: 1. Encourage cooperation. The central objective of organization development is to achieve a cooperative institutional order and quash destabilizing self-interest. Can you imagine a company that could survive with members having divergent motives and antagonistic goals? And yet, the temptation to act in ways contrary to the purposes of organizations is high. Indeed, often the easiest and most lucrative course of action is to accept the benefits of group accomplishment such as compensation while contributing little to the group’s cause in return — much like a public radio listener who partakes in the pleasures of programs without donating to the cause. (Or, as often happens in technology companies, to benefit from the corporate association while concealing one’s best ideas that might personally pay off later.) One way companies try to solve this “free-rider” dilemma is by changing the calculus of the relationship through rewards and punishments. A company might, for example, reward employees’ displays of cooperation or provide public accolades for teamwork, or censure against a lack of cooperation.)

— In backing extreme Republican opponents, Democrats play a risky game.

I should write a book about my critics/opponents. I would focus on past and present a) leaders of the Illinois Republican Party, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Milton Township Republican Organization, b) Republican leaders of Illinois, DuPage County, Milton Township, Wheaton, Wheaton Park District, Wheaton Chamber of Commerce, and Downtown Wheaton Association, c) Republican Precinct Committeemen in Illinois, DuPage County, and Milton Township, d) conservative leaders, e) religious leaders, and f) Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct and their political consultants, major donors, fundraisers, pollsters, campaign managers, campaign staff members, and campaign volunteers.)

DAILY MAIL
— ‘In Trump I Trust’: Horde of angry supporters descends on Mar-a-Lago in the hours following shock FBI raid of ex-president’s Florida club. Supporters arrived in their cars and camped out outside former president Trump’s home. Others held pro-Trump signs, including ones for a 2024 campaign, outside Mar-a-Lago estate. They arrived shortly after it emerged that the FBI was searching the former president’s home as part of an investigation into whether he took classified documents from the White House to his Florida residence. ‘These are dark times for our Nation, as my beautiful home, Mar-A-Lago in Palm Beach, Florida, is currently under siege, raided, and occupied by a large group of FBI agents,’ Trump said in statement. – STEPHEN M. LEPORE and RACHAEL BUNYAN
