BIZ PAC REVIEW
— DISGUSTING, OUTRAGEOUS, TRAGIC, UNACCEPTABLE: Michelle Malkin, violently attacked by BLM, Antifa in Denver, sends S.O.S. to Trump – Tom Tillison (DIERSEN: Denver today, your municipality tomorrow.)
https://www.bizpacreview.com/2020/07/20/michelle-malkin-violently-attacked-by-blm-antifa-in-denver-sends-s-o-s-to-trump-949089
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Outspoken conservative firebrand Michelle Malkin was attacked Sunday by Black Lives Matter activists intent ion shutting down a “Back the Blue” rally in Denver. The peaceful pro-police event was underway at Civic Center Park when BLM activists and others wearing black-bloc and armed with collapsible batons — Malkin identified them online as Antifa — crashed the stage. Malkin can be heard in video of the attack screaming at the violent mob to get back. Not mincing words, she called the woman attacking them “b*tches” in a tweet, and said she was sprayed in the face with aerosol string and another man was beaten with a longboard. Video of the incident shows aggressive antagonists being allowed to walk right up to the very edge of the stage. Malkin shared a photo of the man she said was beaten by the mob. Malkin noted that police sat idly by doing nothing as the chaos ensued. According to the Denver Post, police “attempted to form a line around the two groups, but could not completely separate them.” The newspaper also said Denver Police Chief Paul Pazen asked the group “to reschedule or move the pro-police rally.” Malkin tweeted: “Denver Police Chief Pazen, who marched with BLM last month, let pro-police patriots get beaten and silenced.” In addition to BLM, the counter-demonstrators included the Party for Socialism and Liberation and the Afro-Liberation Front, according to KMGH-TV. The ABC affiliate reported the mob was “armed with pots and pans, whistles, hand-held sirens and other noise making gear,” and that they “crashed the Pro-Police rally and drowned out those trying to speak.” Almost reluctantly, KMGH-TV acknowledged that there were “a few scuffles between members of the two groups.” “There’s not much else to say other than every cop here is a terrorist by association,” Black Lives Matter supporter Hale Rardin told the station. Malkin took exception to how the local reporter she responded to above, KUSA-TV reporter Kyle Clark, tried to painted a “moral equivalency” between the peaceful pro-police group and the violent BLM mob attacking them. Pepper balls and a can of pepper spray were later deployed to disperse BLM activists, after police say some people “made aggressive moves” toward officers. In a somewhat foreboding wrap up, Malkin tweeted: “I’m ok. America is not.” An assessment that has merit, given the radical lawlessness seen from the left today, who intend to shut down all speech not in line with their hard-left views and are more than willing to use violence to do so, if necessary. This coming as law enforcement has been cast as the bad guys in America by both the Democratic Party and their media allies, emasculated and beaten back on their heels. Here’s a full-length Periscope video of the rally shared by Malkin — note that she also tagged President Trump, sending an SOS to restore law and order in American streets:)

— Meet Your Career Coach—You May Know Her as Mom Parents help steer job searches for grads stuck at home; ‘dessert and decisions’ – Alina Dizik (DIERSEN: Should everyone be required to disclose how much education, money, and power that their parents have/had? Neither of my outstanding parents attended college. My mother never attended high school. My father was the first of his ancestors to earn a high school diploma. My father fought type 1 diabetes from age 14, he worked in the office of a nasty chemical plant in Chicago Heights, he almost always worked second jobs to pay the family’s bills, he did not buy a new car until he was 45 in 1967 and it was a bottom of the line 2-door Chevy, and he died suddenly of heart failure in 1969 when I was 21 years old.)

— Career Reboot: She Followed Her Heart Into Data Analytics Unhappy in her job at a law firm, a recruiter did research, learned skills and found her new career in tech – Ray A. Smith (DIERSEN: I transferred from IRS to GAO in 1980 when I was 31 year old a) because my Democrat IRS superiors had made it clear that they would never promote me to GS-13 and b) because GAO audits IRS, and I could use my knowledge of IRS on audits of IRS that I had gained working for IRS for almost 9 years, the last 5 1/2 years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 levels, currently $85,084-$96,431/year. But my Democrat GAO superiors succeeded in a) keeping me off audits of IRS 1980-1985, b) stopping me from being promoted to GS-13 until 1986, c) keeping me off audits of IRS after 1988, and d) forcing me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years old. They would not have done that if I had been a Democrat, minority, female, and/or veteran. After I transferred from IRS to GAO in 1980, I a) completed the requirements for a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980, b) passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981, c) became a licensed CPA in 1981, d) became a Certified Fraud Examiner in 1990, e) became a Certified Government Financial Manager in 1994, f) became a Certified Financial Services Auditor in 1996, g) became a Forensic Accountant in 1997, and h) completed the requirements for a master’s degree in financial markets and trading from IIT in 1997.)

Neither of my outstanding parents attended college. My father was the first of his ancestors to earn a high school diploma. My mother never attended high school. My father fought type 1 diabetes from age 14, he worked in the office of a nasty chemical plant in Chicago Heights, he almost always worked second jobs to pay the family’s bills, he did not buy a new car until he was 45 in 1967 and it was a bottom of the line 2-door Chevy, and he died suddenly of heart failure in 1969 when I was 21 years old.)

ABC7
— AS THE DEMOCRAT PARTY’S STRANGLEHOLD ON CHICAGO TIGHTENS: DISGUSTING, OUTRAGEOUS, RACIST: Chicago Columbus statue protest: Elected officials, activists condemn Chicago Police Department actions after Grant Park rally escalates, some hospitalized Protesters had initially gathered by Buckingham Fountain for a Black Lives Matter demonstration
https://abc7chicago.com/community-events/chicago-officials-activists-condemn-cpd-response-to-columbus-statue-protest/6323279/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Some members of the Chicago City Council commented on the protest on Twitter. Ald. Carlos Ramirez-Rosa said, “Black and Indigenous Chicagoans and people from all across the city came together to do what our so-called progressive mayor refused and failed to do.” Ald. Daniel La Spata said, “Chicago may be the only ‘liberal’ city willing to brutalize Black and brown youth to protect a symbol of white supremacy.” At 9 a.m., several aldermen and Illinois officials gathered to condemn CPD’s response to the protest. . .United Working Families members Alderman Carlos Rosa, Ald. Byron Sigcho Lopez, Cook County Commissioner Brandon Johnson, state Rep. Delia Ramirez, state Sen. Robert Peters, and Democratic Nominee Lakesia Collins planned to attend. Supportive elected officials who are unable to attend include Ald. Rossana Rodriguez Sanchez, Ald. Daniel La Spata, and Ald. Jeanette Taylor, the statement said. Participating organizations include Black Youth Project 100, Black Lives Matter Chicago, Chi-Nations Youth Council, the Black Abolitionist Network and United Working Families. The Italian American Human Relations Foundation of Chicago also responded to the protest, saying in part “This was the work of evil minded people. They have been fueled by an educational system too lax in its reliance on a poor curriculum re the education of the legacy of Columbus, and abetted by the majority of the media who refuse to question the baseless revisionist history of the Columbus saga.” When asked for a comment from the mayor, a spokesman for Lightfoot’s office pointed to a Twitter thread. In it, Lightfoot said “I unequivocally support and will always fight for the rights of individuals to peacefully protest on any issue. The history and stories of the lives of Indigenous People here in Chicago need to be lifted up and celebrated. There is a dialogue that must be had to honestly confront the deeply ingrained history of racism and discrimination that has subjected Black, Indigenous and other communities of color in our city and our nation for too long.” She went on to say her team has been developing a plan to engage in a comprehensive review of the city’s public icons to identify what should change and where new monuments and icons should be erected. She said more details are coming. Some protesters came with frozen water bottles, rocks, bottles, cans and other gear to throw at officers, Lightfoot said. “People in the crowd also threw fireworks and other incendiary devices at police, causing injury in several cases. These violent acts are unacceptable and put everyone at risk,” LIghtfoot said. She also noted there have been several reports of police using excessive force. “These are also unacceptable,” she said. “This is a difficult moment in our history. I know Chicagoans are frustrated and impatient for change. It is my sincere hope that we can strike the right balance to ensure people can rightfully express themselves & their First Amendment rights, but do so in a way that does not put anyone’s physical safety at risk. That would be consistent with our long history of peaceful protest.” Anyone whom the police has mistreated should file a complaint through the Chicago Civilian Office of Police Accountability or by dialing 311, Lightfoot said.)

The Local Journalism Sustainability Act, introduced on Thursday, is a bipartisan bill co-sponsored by U.S. Representatives Ann Kirkpatrick, a Democrat from Arizona, and Dan Newhouse, a Republican from Washington state. In brief, the legislation provides for tax credits for subscribing to a local newspaper, payroll credit for paying journalists who provide local news, and credit for advertising in local newspapers and local media. This act responds to the insidious way the pandemic has deeply damaged American communities in a malevolent cycle.)
