NPR ILLINOIS
— ‘Ours is the real patriotism’: Dems go on attack against ‘lunatic fringe’ GOP at state fair rally – Hannah Meisel (COMMENT: According to Democrats, to be patriotic is to be anti-law enforcement, anti-Trump, anti-conservative, anti-Republican, anti-American, anti-White, anti-male, anti-older people, anti-heterosexual, anti-traditional marriage/family, anti-non-poor people, anti-gun owners, anti-Christian, anti-Protestant, anti-Italian American, anti-German American, and/or anti-those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time. According to Democrats, to be patriotic is to promote dependency on government, dependency on charity, LGBTQ, abortion, mass/illegal immigration, booze, gambling, pot, and other vices, abolition of the First and Second Amendments, patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination (Affirmative Action, Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, 1619, BLM, reparations, replacement theory, wokeness/wokeism), and age discrimination. )

CITY OF WHEATON
— 2023 Municipal Election Candidate Petitions Available Aug. 30 (COMMENT: Government is nasty. Politics is nasty. I should write a book about my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes in Wheaton and in Milton Township who since 2007 have viciously demonized me, viciously denigrated me, and viciously condemned me for supporting Alan Bolds’ unsuccessful bid for Wheaton mayor in 2007. In 2021, they ended my Republican fundraiser role for Wheaton Independence Day parades and fireworks. In 2019, they ended my bid to fill the Wheaton City Council West District vacancy. In 2012, they ended my TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois chairmanship. In 2011, they ended my Wheaton Chamber of Commerce Government Affairs Committee membership. In 2010, they ended my Milton Township Republican Organization webmaster service. I would focus on those who have blamed me the most for Bolds’ defeat in 2007, Peter Roskam’s defeat in 2018, Bobby McNeily’s defeat in 2017, Debra Olsen’s defeat in 2010, Jim Ryan’s defeat in 2002, Pat O’Malley’s defeat in 2002, etc.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Speaking of Unity: Richard Irvin, Gary Rabine and Jesse Sullivan, the Republicans who lost their bids for governor in the June primary, joined a reception Wednesday with Darren Bailey, the GOP nominee, at Mariah’s Steakhouse & Pasta in Springfield. “It’s about everyone rallying to support the candidates this fall,” Shaun McCabe, the executive director of the Illinois GOP, told Playbook. GOP statewide nominees were there, too, including Senate candidate Kathy Salvi, attorney general candidate Tom Devore and comptroller candidate Shannon Teresi. Senate Minority Leader Dan McConchie was there, too. Republicans gather formally today for their own unity rally at the fairgrounds.)

ILLINOIS TIMES
— COMMENT: Political parties exist to help elect candidates who can and will defend and advance their Republican Party platform. The Republican Party platform is conservative. Jim Edgar rejects many planks in the Republican Party platform. Ever-increasingly, anti-conservative Democrats and Democrat plants, Libertarians and Libertarian plants, Greens and Green plants, Independents and Independent plants, and RINOs use Jim Edgar to defeat conservative Republican candidates.
https://www.illinoistimes.com/springfield/the-growing-gop-gap/Content?oid=15596913
— COMMENT: Democrats use the 1908 Springfield Race Riot ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Springfield_race_riot_of_1908 ) to promote hatred against Republicans. Expect that sooner or later, if not already, Illinois Democrats will require Illinois Republicans to disclose where their ancestors lived and what they were doing on August 14,15, and 16, 1908. My great grandparents on my father’s side operated a hardware store in Crete. My great grandparents on my mother’s side operated a farm in Grant Park along the Indiana border.)
