POLITICO ILLINOIS — KINZINGER’s BIG HAUL – Shia Kapos https://www.politico.com/newsletters/illinois-playbook/2021/07/12/kinzingers-big-haul-latino-caucus-map-moves-cook-county-strike-scoop-493537 (FROM THE ARTICLE: Congressman Adam Kinzinger has raised a whopping $1.3 million in the second quarter of the year, according to a source close to his campaign. Broken down, that’s $800,000 for his re-election campaign and $500,000 for his leadership PAC. In the past six months, Kinzinger has raised $3.6 million, nearly all from individuals, and more than $700,000 from within Illinois. “This is not the kind of money that gets raised in a rural district. It looks like something more attuned to someone running statewide,” former Republican Congressman Bob Dold told Playbook. Dold’s comment hints at what might happen if Kinzinger’s 16th Congressional District is squeezed out of the remap: a possible run for U.S. Senate or even governor. Early census numbers show Illinois is losing one seat, but until final figures are released and districts are redrawn, we won’t know whose seat will be out. For now, Kinzinger is focusing on getting re-elected to Congress. And his second-quarter fundraising shows he hasn’t been hurt by speaking out against Donald Trump’s rhetoric or the former president’s supporters who attacked the U.S. Capitol. Kinzinger has become publicly isolated within the GOP for calling on the party to reject conspiracy theories pushed by Trump. Still, while Kinzinger has spoken out against Trump’s conspiracies, freshman Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene has benefited from embracing them. In the first quarter, she amassed $3.4 million.)

I’m that Wayne Allyn Root. I’m the nationally syndicated conservative radio talk show host. And former conservative television host on Newsmax TV. And bestselling conservative author of 14 books — including “Trump Rules,” “The Ultimate Obama Survival Guide,” “Angry White Male” and “The Murder of the Middle Class.” I’m the last guy you’d ever imagine coming out in support of reparations for black Americans. But it’s true. I’m going to be the first high-profile conservative to support reparations. Black Americans deserve reparations. Let’s be honest. Look at their cities in ruins. Black inner cities in America look like Hiroshima and Nagasaki after the atomic bombs hit. Have you been to any of them lately? Of course not. What sane person would take a chance by driving through the Brownsville neighborhood in Brooklyn, or Crown Heights, or Bedford Stuyvesant, or Harlem or the infamous South Bronx? Or how about Chicago’s black South Side? How about virtually all-black inner cities in Detroit; Baltimore; East St Louis; Newark, New Jersey; Oakland, California; Liberty City in Miami; Cleveland; New Orleans, Memphis, Tennessee; Atlanta and more. The list goes on and on. These places are synonymous with murder, violent gangs and violent crime. Black cities and neighborhoods are a war zone. A black-on-black genocide. An American tragedy. Not to mention the drug needles, poop, pee, condoms and garbage that litter their mean and hopeless streets. Black lives do matter. So, yes, they do deserve reparations. But who is to blame? It’s sure not white Americans. Most of us have had nothing to do with the decline of black America. The vast majority of white Americans have never done a bad thing to a black person in our lives. We don’t run their cities. We don’t go near their cities. We literally have nothing to do with black America. And none of us were alive for slavery or the civil war, or Jim Crow. My grandparents came to America in the 1920s. They lived in New York. They experienced their own prejudice and discrimination. My relatives had nothing to do with slavery, racism or any civil rights violations. So, yes blacks are owed reparations. But who’s to blame? There’s only one common denominator: DEMOCRATS. The Democratic Party and Democratic politicians are to blame. It’s the Democratic Party and Democratic politicians who should pay the trillions of dollars. It’s the policies of the Democratic Party that have led to poverty; misery; violent crime through the roof; retail theft on a level never imagined; homelessness; hopelessness; rampant drug dealing and addiction; no fathers in black homes; burned-out buildings; abandoned stores; lack of supermarkets; and streets filled with poop, pee, garbage, condoms and drug needles.) — Kamala Harris Slammed for ‘Kinkos’ Comment in Discussing Rural Americans and Voter ID – Rebecca Downs https://townhall.com/tipsheet/rebeccadowns/2021/07/10/kamala-harris-slammed-for-kinkos-comment-in-opposing-voter-id-n2592336

TEXAS MONTHLY — Meet the Four Republicans Who Want to Replace Allen West as Texas GOP Chair. The next party leader could continue to wage war on errant Republican elected officials or oversee a détente. – Jonathan Tilove (DIERSEN: One could compare and contrast the Texas Republican Party with the Illinois Republican Party.) https://www.texasmonthly.com/news-politics/texas-gop-chair-candidates/ (FROM THE ARTICLE: David Covey, one of four candidates to lead the Texas Republican party, has positioned himself as a moderate on perhaps the most pressing issue in the race. On the question of working with Republican elected officials, he doesn’t want Armageddon so much as a reasonable degree of tactical violence. “I don’t think we need to work hand in hand, but I don’t think we need to nuke them either,” Covey, currently the Orange County chairman and representative of Senate District 3 on the State Republican Executive Committee, said at a June 29 forum in Port Neches. “We have to be able to put pressure on our legislators, like a sniper. We pick our target, we ensure we don’t have collateral damage—even the party itself—and then we pull the trigger to make sure we get our priorities passed.” Martial metaphors aside, the 32-year-old Covey represents, believe it or not, something of the peace candidate to lead the Texas GOP past the testosterone-fueled, QAnon-inflected tenure of Allen West, a retired Army lieutenant colonel and former one-term congressman from Florida. For the past year of his short but chaotic reign as party chair, West mostly trained his unfriendly fire on fellow Republicans, including Governor Greg Abbott, whom he characterized as a tyrant for his pandemic response, and House Speaker Dade Phelan, whom he described as a traitor for seeking some Democratic votes to gain the gavel. On June 4, West surprised many by abruptly announcing that he would be stepping down as chairman effective July 11, midway through his two-year term. A month later, on July 4, West formally declared that he would be challenging Abbott, setting off what is likely to be a brutal primary battle.)

Simon https://www.theepochtimes.com/a-defeat-in-the-courts-for-bidens-racist-equity-policies_3895020.html (FROM THE ARTICLE: If you were an Armenian Christian who fled your home to Glendale, California in 1915 to escape a genocide at the hands of the Ottoman Turks that killed roughly one million of your countrymen and women, how would you feel about paying reparations for black slavery that ended more than fifty years before you arrived? Not so good, I would imagine. The whole concept of so-called reparations in America is mired in such contradictions, tens of millions having migrated to this country from all over the world and continuing to do so well more than a century after slavery ended. Many of these people suffered from onerous, sometimes extremely onerous, even life threatening, conditions of their own. Yet, the Biden administration—under, among other things, the meretricious mask of something called “equity,” as opposed to “equality”—is asking millions of our fellow citizens to pay for an acknowledged evil, slavery, in which they did not remotely participate.) — CPAC Texas: ‘America Uncanceled’ (Day 1) https://www.theepochtimes.com/live-cpac-texas-america-uncanceled-day-1_3894846.html — Arizona Lawmaker Advises People to Put up ‘No Trespassing’ Signs to Deter Door-to-Door Vaccine Checks – ALLAN STEIN https://www.theepochtimes.com/mkt_morningbrief/arizona-lawmaker-advises-people-to-put-up-no-trespassing-signs-to-deter-door-to-door-vaccine-checks_3893470.html

It’s sure not white Americans. Most of us have had nothing to do with the decline of black America. The vast majority of white Americans have never done a bad thing to a black person in our lives. We don’t run their cities. We don’t go near their cities. We literally have nothing to do with black America. And none of us were alive for slavery or the civil war, or Jim Crow. My grandparents came to America in the 1920s. They lived in New York. They experienced their own prejudice and discrimination. My relatives had nothing to do with slavery, racism or any civil rights violations. So, yes blacks are owed reparations. But who’s to blame? There’s only one common denominator: DEMOCRATS. The Democratic Party and Democratic politicians are to blame.)

A parent in Naperville, Shannon Adcock, said she became aware of “culturally responsive teaching” when she was unsuccessful in running for the school board. She said the more she learned about it, the more she felt it was regressive and divisive by teaching children race or gender directly impacts outcomes. “You are having students segregated by their color, by their sexuality, by their any number of filters that an activist teacher can choose and say ‘so because of your skin color you are a problem, because of your skin color you will never make it in life, because of this intangible systemic problem in one of the greatest countries in the world,’ and to me, it’s to me extremely anti-Americanism, it’s anti-child and I believe it to be child abuse,” Adcock told WMAY. “Teach history, there’s no question about that, but when you begin filtering students, this becomes a problem and it’s a violation, a constitutional violation.” She said the curriculum can take many different names and forms, so she and others seeing similar trends in other parts of the state started the website AwakeIL.com as a way to share information with taxpayers, parents and educators about trends around the state. “We are going to preserve the integrity of our constitution, state and federal, and we’re going to take that divisive curricula and segregationist approach to education out of our classrooms,” she said.)

The large crowd had gathered early to get on campus before the Secret Service and local police cordoned off the area. The crowd made it to a few hundred feet from the school, while many other people lined the streets surrounding the campus. Many protesters carried “Trump 2020” and “Trump 2024” flags. There was a large sheet banner reading “Make America Proud Again,” and others with the words “Secure Our Borders,” “Biden Take Off Your Mask,” and “Trump Country.” Two men with bullhorns led the crowd in chants of “Trump Won” and “Biden Lies.” The crowd started out vocal and loud, but grew quiet into the afternoon. A few Trump supporters picked fights among themselves, while several Biden supporters stood on the fringes watching. Trump supporters far outnumbered those who were there to support Biden. . .They objected to giving Americans two free years of community college education. “More like free indoctrination,” Fred Bock told the Northwest Herald.

Republicans are running on culture, while Democrats press economics. – Daniel Henninger https://www.wsj.com/articles/welcome-to-the-equity-war-11625696029 (FROM THE ARTICLE: President Biden outputs executive orders like a popcorn machine. His latest bucketful goes a long way toward clarifying the politics of our time. On June 25 Mr. Biden issued an order to “advance diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility (DEIA) in the federal workforce.” Meaning every nook they can find in American life. A phrase like “diversity, equity, inclusion and accessibility” is what’s known as a political narrative—a brief, repeatable description of political goals whose implicit message is: Who could be against this? It is not an overstatement to say the future of the world will rise and fall on whether these pablum-like narratives can be turned into hard policy. “Save the planet” was one of the most successful. Rising alongside is DEI (“accessibility” is a Bidenized addition). Set aside the D- and I-words. The battle of our time is over the E-word—equity. Unlike diversity and inclusion, both unmeasurable sentiments, equity is an economic concept. It posits that some have more economic wealth, and some have less. The “some” may be individuals or nations. Equity’s goal is to impose policies by fiat intended to close “disparities.” The power of the equity narrative is that it can be applied to anything, insofar as most of life can be divided between more and less. Such as the Covid-19 pandemic. According to multiple recent news stories, the distribution of Covid vaccines has become an equity issue. “After monopolizing initial production,” the Washington Post asserts, “rich nations have made only limited progress toward ensuring an equitable global distribution of vaccines.” It says both the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank are warning of a “two-track global recovery that would widen the economic divide between advanced and developing nations.” “Equity” is wealth redistribution, or soft socialism, repackaged as happy talk. But this is a conversation worth having. Equity talk is an opportunity for clarification about which policies are pie in the sky and which work.)
