POLITICO ILLINOIS
— The influence of the Irish political machine may have waned, but Irish eyes smile in Cook County, which ranks first among all U.S. counties for the number of residents with Irish ancestry, according to the U.S. Census. Cook County counts 461,589 residents of Irish descent, some 9 percent of its 5.2 million population. People of Irish ancestry make up 19 percent of the population in Middlesex County, Mass., but the county’s total population is a wee 1.6 million. Cook County tops the list on sheer headcount. Of course, Cook County’s ranking doesn’t surprise residents. “There’s a reason so many judicial candidates over the years have changed their names to sound Irish,” says Abdon Pallasch, the comms director for the state comptroller and one who wears his Irish pride on his sleeve. There was a time it was called the Irish “Murphyia.” House Speaker Michael Madigan, Chicago Mayor Richard M. Daley (and before that, his dad, Richard J. Daley), and Ald. Edward Burke were the bosses. Some say it’s changed. But over the weekend, the Chicago River turned green, a Harmon leads the state Senate, and there’s even a Welch running the Illinois House. “Everybody likes to be Irish in Cook County,” former Illinois Gov. Pat Quinn told Playbook. “Everybody in and no one left out.” – Shia Kapos

https://www.dailysignal.com/2021/03/17/the-history-behind-the-woke-invasion-of-big-business/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Why is corporate America increasingly stepping in to support “woke” social justice causes? “These corporations are part of a movement that has been going on in the West and in this country in particular for the last roughly 100 years to move the culture very consistently and very aggressively to the left in order to more or less make ready the path for the revolution,” says Stephen Soukup, author of the new book “The Dictatorship of Woke Capital: How Political Correctness Captured Big Business.” Soukup joins “The Daily Signal Podcast” to explain how activists have hijacked and twisted the purpose of many of the world’s largest companies to serve left-wing ends, and why Americans need to be concerned about it.)

https://www.wsj.com/articles/bernie-sanders-targets-ceo-pay-in-effort-to-keep-spotlight-on-workers-11615971600
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Sen. Bernie Sanders is using his new perch as Budget Committee chairman to try to keep Congress focused on measures designed to improve worker pay and job conditions, even as related legislation including a $15-an-hour minimum wage has stalled. The Vermont senator is set to introduce legislation Wednesday that would seek to apply an additional tax on corporations where the CEO is paid more than 50 times the median worker. The proposal is among a handful of policies that the progressive ran on during his 2020 presidential campaign and is now pushing from atop the committee, where he can schedule hearings and call witnesses to testify.)

https://www.census.gov/library/stories/2021/03/happy-saint-patricks-day-to-one-of-ten-americans-who-claim-irish-ancestry.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Irish heritage is strong in America: More than 31.5 million residents claim Irish ancestry, second only to German (43.0 million). And when it comes to U.S. presidents, including current President Joe Biden, exactly half (23) trace some of their roots to Ireland. Not surprisingly, the most Irish states are in New England and are geographically connected. However, the five states with the most smiling Irish eyes are the nation’s most populous: California, New York, Pennsylvania, Florida and Texas. But none of these states have the highest percentage of people with Irish ancestry.)

(DIERSEN: In early 1998, when I was 49 years old, I gave up seeking a job that would be appropriate for someone with my education (master’s degrees in business, accounting, and finance), work experience (almost 18 years working for GAO, the last 13 years of which at the GS-13 Step 1-10 levels, currently $102,188-$132,845/year and almost 9 years working for IRS, the last 5 1/2 years at GS-12 Step-1-5 Levels, currently $85,935-$97,395/year), professional certifications (accounting, internal auditing, fraud examination, government financial management, financial services auditing, and forensic accounting), and professional license (CPA). I learned from prospective employers, and from other sources, that my Democrat GAO superiors were sabotaging my job search. In September of 1997, they had succeeded in forcing me to take their early retirement “offer.” Previously, they had given me unfair performance expectations and appraisals, always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes, did not promote me beyond GS-13, got rid of my mentor in 1987, kept me off audits of IRS for all but 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for GAO, and forced me to take a $20,361 (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980. Previously, my Democrat IRS superiors did not promote me beyond GS-12, disallowed my education deductions in 1978, got rid of my mentor in 1975, and disallowed my partial day per diem claims in 1974. Previously, my Democrat Post Office superiors forced me resign in 1969 and disallowed my sick leave requests in 1969 and 1968. I should write a book about the aforesaid.)

— REMAP, NOT TRUMP, MAY OUST KINZINGER – Shia Kapos (DIERSEN: Democrats and Democrat plants, Libertarians and Libertarian plants, Greens and Green plants, Independents and Independent plants, and RINOs promote RINO elected officials and RINO party leaders who destroy the Republican Party.)
https://www.politico.com/newsletters/illinois-playbook/2021/03/15/remap-not-trump-may-oust-kinzinger-executive-orders-challenged-why-foxx-felt-triggered-492108
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Rep. Adam Kinzinger’s congressional seat could be eliminated when Illinois conducts its remap, according to the Cook Report’s David Wasserman. Taking out the current 16th Congressional District makes “geographic sense,” Wasserman said in his subscription-only report. He also tweeted how the new map might look amid the state’s expected one-seat loss. Democrats who control the remap because they also control the state House, Senate and governor’s mansion, are likely to redraw congressional lines to cushion neighboring Reps. Lauren Underwood and Cheri Bustos, who had tight races in their GOP-heavy districts last year. Democrats controlling the remap may also try to eliminate one of the five downstate GOP seats to account for the state’s loss. The 16th District stretches from Indiana up to the border with Wisconsin and touches the fast-growing Chicago exurbs and some downstate districts. “More rural/GOP parts of it could go to Rep. Darin LaHood’s 18th CD and Rep. Mary Miller’s 15th CD, while its Rockford suburbs and the liberal university town of DeKalb could go to Democratic seats,” writes Wasserman. Kinzinger has already made himself vulnerable by voting to impeach former President Donald Trump. Some Republicans are circling to defeat him in the primary, which Democrats see as an advantage. Catalina Lauf, who ran unsuccessfully in the 14th Congressional District last year, has even traveled to Mar-a-Lago resort to meet with Trump, who is on a campaign to defeat Republicans who voted to impeach him. “It’s too bad, because [Kinzinger is] the Republican we’d keep,” a Democratic insider told Wasserman. “But we can’t control their primaries.” RELATED: Republican state Rep. Tim Butler of Springfield has been appointed to serve as a GOP spokesman for the House Redistricting Committee, which will redraw the state’s Senate and House seats as well as congressional seats. Last week, we listed the Democrats who will lead Redistricting committees for the House and Senate, and we scooped the list of where the public redistricting hearings will be held.)

I would focus on those who focus on destroying those like me a) who they cannot manipulate or dominate, b) who refuse to glorify and praise them, c) who refuse to serve as one of their operatives or dupes, d) who refuse to pander to them, and/or e) refuse to give them money.)
https://mashable.com/article/why-we-dont-delete-facebook-account/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: “It’s really rough seeing people share articles and other media that are, quite literally, fake news,” Kuks said. “Yes, this happens on every social media site in existence, but I saw it the most on Facebook. That being said, I’m seeing a lot more posts being flagged stating whether the information that was shared is accurate or not. Do I fully trust that? No, I’ll continue to do my own research. But it’s a start.” For a lot of users, it isn’t that they don’t want to delete their Facebook — it’s that Facebook has become so intertwined with the way they live online that they can’t really escape it. To leave Facebook would be to shift the way they interact with the internet. That’s not an accident, of course. Whether we want it to be or not, Facebook is now a part of our internet DNA. In my search to find out why people who just don’t use their Facebook accounts hold onto them anyway, I discovered there are plenty of reasons inactive or under-active users keep their profiles around — from just-in-case scenarios of remembering important events, to holding onto the thread that keeps you connected to your family.)

— Communist Tactics to Force Self-Censorship Sweeping America – PETR SVAB
https://www.theepochtimes.com/mkt_app/communist-tactics-to-force-self-censorship-sweep-america_3724784.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: While many Americans worry about ever-increasing censorship, those responsible for it have managed to amplify its effects by creating a climate of self-censorship. Due to the psychological mechanisms of self-censorship, a single account blocked, a single video deleted, or a book banned can result in a broad chilling of speech. Important policy debates don’t occur, news story ideas aren’t pitched to editors, and books aren’t accepted for publishing, or written to begin with. In some cases, it appears the censors employ the psychological tricks on purpose, achieving maximum suppression with minimal responsibility. These methods aren’t new—in fact, they have long been employed by totalitarian regimes. The principle of self-censorship is that people, just to be on the safe side, refrain from saying even things that aren’t outright banned by some applicable rules.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Conservative writer Michael Medved estimates that only 5% of whites in America “bear any authentic sort of generational guilt for the exploitation of slave labor.” Why should anyone but Democrats pay?

The KKK was founded by Democrats; I did not say by the Democratic Party, but by Democrats. As a percentage of their party, more House Republicans voted for the Civil Rights Act of 1964 than did House Democrats. As a percentage of their party, more Senate Republicans voted for the Civil Rights Act of 1964 than did Senate Democrats.)
