https://patch.com/illinois/naperville/naperville-opts-out-recreational-marijuana-sales
(FROM THE ARTICLE: After weeks of debate, comments from residents, and anti-cannabis rallies, the Naperville City Council voted to opt out of recreational cannabis sales Tuesday. The City Council meeting brought close to 250 residents out to share their comments about the issue, which ended in a 6-3 vote in favor of opting out. . .The topic of recreational cannabis was discussed for more than three hours at Tuesday’s meeting, which was filled with dozens of residents sporting bright orange “Opt Out Naperville” t-shirts and pins. . .After the public comment portion of the meeting, City Council members had a chance to sound off on the issue. Council member Kevin Coyne said, “I think it’s a very clear and easy decision tonight.” He added that neighboring cities Wheaton and Bolingbrook will likely opt out and that he wanted to prevent Naperville from becoming the “marijuana capital of DuPage County.”)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: The decision to opt out of recreational pot sales came several hours after hundreds of people began packing the Naperville City Council chambers as residents and non-residents waited their turn to comment on the issue of whether to allow the retail sale of pot. The discussion on marijuana sales brought 238 people to sign up for public comment on the topic — a vast majority speaking in favor of opting out while wearing white and orange “opt out” shirts. Over the past couple weeks, the group was organized to rally and lobby city council members to keep recreational cannabis dispensaries out of Naperville. At the same time, residents in support of retail marijuana sales have circulated a survey on the issue. People who asked city council to opt out Tuesday night are concerned recreational pot dispensaries would lead to increased availability to children and would hurt the “family friendly” brand of Naperville.)

https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2019/09/03/servant-class-that-serves-the-rich-among-fastest-growing-u-s-workforces/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A “servant class” that serves the needs of the country’s top one percent is among one of the fastest-growing job markets in the United States, economic analysis finds. As about 1.2 million mostly low-skilled legal immigrants are admitted to the U.S. every year to take primarily low-wage jobs, an underclass of servants for the wealthy has boomed over the last decade compared with overall job growth.)

Ever-increasingly, they use Affirmative Action, Diversity, and Inclusion to disenfranchise Republicans like me.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Lauren White had long dreamed of becoming a teacher, and despite not holding a degree in education, it looked like she was about to see that dream come true. Then it was pulled away at the last minutes, because White is engaged to another woman. She was offered a job as a French teacher at Sacred Heart-Griffin, a Catholic high school in Springfield, Illinois. White, who is herself not a Catholic, tells NewNowNext she went into the interview with nerves, because she “kind of figured that since it was a Catholic school, it wouldn’t be the most inclusive space, obviously.”)

DAILY HERALD
— FRONT PAGE TOP OF FOLD WITH COLOR PICTURE: Suburban school administrators bracing for legal marijuana’s impacts – Marie Wilson
https://www.dailyherald.com/news/20190901/suburban-school-administrators-bracing-for-legal-marijuanas-impacts
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Students won’t be allowed to use marijuana when adult recreational use begins Jan. 1, but school leaders anticipate legalization bringing a cascade of effects in the educational realm. The need for prevention education will increase. The difficulty of determining intoxication among students and staff members will rise. The use restrictions imposed on employees will need clarification. And the regulations that come with federal funding could create conflicts. These are the chief concerns raised by educational leaders across the suburbs as they start a school year during which recreational marijuana use by adults 21 and older is set to begin under the Cannabis Regulation and Tax Act. Elgin Unit District U-46 CEO Tony Sanders raised many of these points in a paper he wrote for a doctoral degree he is pursuing from Aurora University. He advises vigilance to prevent increased marijuana prevalence. “Students already have access, somehow, to illegal marijuana,” Sanders said. “I think this (law) makes it more open for students to gain access to marijuana, and I do worry about that.” Vigilance against marijuana in schools could mean posting signs to remind the public of smoke-free and drug-free regulations, which U-46 plans to do, Sanders said. Or it could mean using health class lessons to emphasize the negative implications of marijuana use by teens, which is in the plans for Glenbard High School District 87, among others. Whatever districts do to prepare for adult marijuana use, they should work to create a “culture of nonuse” among students, said Cristina Cortesi, substance abuse prevention coordinator at Stevenson High School in Lincolnshire. “Unfortunately, when a substance is legalized, it creates greater accessibility and it creates greater norms of use,” Cortesi said. “When policy is not in our favor in terms of preventing substance abuse, it’s just a harder road ahead.”)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Three members of the nine-person City Council have been consistent in their oppositions to recreational marijuana. They are Patty Gustin, Kevin Coyne and Paul Hinterlong. On the other side, Judy Brodhead, Benny White and Mayor Steve Chirico have shown support for allowing recreational marijuana retail sales. The remaining three council members, Patrick Kelly, John Krummen and Theresa Sullivan, are somewhere in the middle and likely will ultimately decide whether Naperville will allow recreational marijuana dispensaries. . .School districts 203 and 204 sent letters to the city noting their reservations about Illinois’ new marijuana law, which takes effect Jan. 1. Sales will be legal only to people 21 and older. “The District 203 Board of Education, speaking on behalf of the many students, parents, district staff and administrators and community, has serious concerns about the impact of recreational marijuana sales on the teens in our school district. We urge the City Council to consider the impact of its actions on the teens in our community,” District 203′s letter said. The School District 204 Board of Education raised similar concerns. “While it will remain illegal for our students to purchase recreational marijuana, we have concerns that the increased availability in our community may lead to potential issues at school,” the District 204′s letter says. “With easier access to recreational marijuana in our community, what will be the long-term cognitive impact on our youth who use the drug?” North Central College also sent a letter, which did not so much take a stance on the issue but pointed out that “because marijuana remains illegal under federal law and federal financial assistance remains important to the College and our students, marijuana will continue to be banned on our campus.”)

Most commonly, they reject the traditional family, right to life, immigration, Second Amendment, illegal drugs, and equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) planks. They focus on destroying those like me who support the aforesaid planks. I should write a book about them.)

DAILY BEAST
— Diamond and Silk Lawyer Up – Will Sommer (DIERSEN: I should send cease and desist letters to those who slander me. Better yet, I should sue them. They would argue that I am a “public figure,” and therefore, they have the right to slander me.)
https://www.thedailybeast.com/diamond-and-silk-lawyer-up
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Pro-Trump vlogger duo Diamond and Silk are on a legal campaign this week, threatening to sue two bloggers unless they take down unflattering mentions of them. So far, though, the letters from the unnamed members of the “Diamond and Silk Legal Team”—which come with stern warnings not to share them publicly—have not worked as intended. The pair’s anonymous lawyer have sent at least two cease-and-desist aimed at stories that mention Diamond and Silk in connection with racist groups. One of the targeted blog posts, published on Wonkette, accused the African-American duo of helping to “prop up the most vile white supremacy.” Diamond and Silk’s mystery legal team wrote that the article “deliberately and maliciously slandered and defamed Diamond and Silk and the Diamond and Silk brand by deliberately and maliciously attaching their name to racist context.” The letter also includes a warning for Wonkette not to post about the letter: “This notice is not to be made public via online sources or any other sources in any manner.” Wonkette just made fun of the letter, published it in full anyway, and refused to take their story down.)

https://www.axios.com/trump-forgives-ousted-aide-speaking-reporters-887c9b5f-2c77-4204-bc1a-d6986860ea66.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Westerhout, whose access to the White House was revoked Thursday, made the off-the-record remarks at a dinner with reporters who were covering him during this month’s summer break in New Jersey. “Everything she said was off the record,” Trump told reporters. “And that still doesn’t really cover for her. She mentioned a couple of things about my children.” “I think the press is very dishonest because it was supposed to be off the record,” he added. “But, still, you don’t say things like she said, which were just a little bit hurtful to some people.” The president said Westerhout told him she had been drinking at the dinner. “She’s a very … good person,” Trump said. “I always felt she did a good job. … … I really think she had a bad night. … And I wish her well.” “[T]he press breaks off-the-records all the time because they are very dishonorable. Many of them. Not all of you, but many of them are very dishonorable.”)
