CHICAGO SUN-TIMES
— More than ever, assault weapons are an undeniable threat to representative government. For too long, threats of physical harm have been used to intimidate lawmakers trying to do something about America’s nightmare of gun violence. The Jan. 6 insurrection will only embolden those who make such threats. – Editorial (DIERSEN: Those who advocate more gun controls are anti-law enforcement, anti-Trump, anti-conservative, anti-patriotic, 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.)

POLITICO ILLINOIS
— Schimpf, who ran unsuccessfully for state attorney general in 2014, is the second Republican to declare his candidacy. Businessman Gary Rabine, who heads a paving and roofing company, has also declared he’s running. Reps. Rodney Davis — who isn’t shy about criticizing Pritzker as “an unmitigated disaster” — and Darin LaHood have not ruled out a run for governor. State Sen. Darren Bailey is expected to announce his candidacy next week. And Republican National Committeeman and Chicago attorney Richard Porter is toying with a campaign, too. Davis and LaHood are waiting to see how their districts could be adjusted in the upcoming redistricting process. Along with rejecting Pritzker’s handling of the pandemic, there’s another theme that will play out in the gubernatorial race: who supports Trump. So far, all the GOP contenders do. – Shia Kapos

ROCKFORD REGISTER STAR
— Rockford area Republicans: Rep. Adam Kinzinger is out of touch with local GOP – Corina Curry (DIERSEN: What percent of the Republican Precinct Committeemen/Captains in Illinois, in your county, and in your township/ward support Kinzinger?)
https://www.rrstar.com/story/news/politics/elections/2021/02/13/rockford-area-republicans-kinzinger-out-of-touch-with-local-gop/4468976001/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Illinois congressman Adam Kinzinger may be gaining nationwide attention because of his impeachment vote and newly announced Country First movement, but some Republicans back home say this latest round of rhetoric may be causing local GOPs more harm than good. State Rep. Andrew Chesney, R-Freeport, took to Facebook Thursday to call Kinzinger “a political embarrassment,” adding that the Republican congressman’s newly formed political action committee Country First should be called “Adam First.” “I don’t think he’s in touch with what mainstream Republicans are really saying,” Chesney said. “The area that I take greatest exception to is that while he’s been on his media blitz trying to talk about conservatism, the congressman is always the last one to attend the Lincoln Day dinner and the first one to leave. “He’s listening to a D.C. crowd rather than listening to what Republicans are saying.” On a Tuesday media call, Kinzinger said he created his Country First video and website about a week ago as a way to express what he felt was happening — “kind of my mourning for the Republican Party” — and give people a place to take action if they agreed with him. “The outpouring of support has been incredible,” Kinzinger said. Kinzinger wouldn’t say how much money has been raised thus far. He said raising money wasn’t the goal. “It’s about building a movement, and my goodness it’s shown that there is a real desire out there for something different.” Rockford Republicans state Sen. Dave Syverson and state Rep. Joe Sosnowski also said that the congressman’s Country First message, which says that the “Republican party has lost its way,” doesn’t ring true with them or the Republicans they work with in Boone and Winnebago counties. “I don’t think splitting up the party is the answer,” Syverson said. “Who doesn’t want country first? That sounds almost like ‘Make America Great Again.’” Kinzinger’s actions and statements of late are actually the cause of some of the dissension in the today’s Republican party, Syverson said. Syverson said he heard from many Rock River Valley Republicans in recent weeks who are concerned over Kinzinger’s stance on the impeachment. He said he tells those voters to call Kinzinger’s office. “If you feel you disagree with him on something, let him know,” he said. Sosnowski said Kizinger’s message of focusing on what’s best for the country and de-escalating the rhetoric and political in-fighting are admirable and valuable goals. “I disagree with his approach,” Sosnowski said. “It’s a conflicting message. He’s talking about de-escalating the rhetoric yet he’s attacking fellow Republicans. … It seems contradictory.” Sosnowski also said the local Republican platform — pro-business, pro-family, less government — remains strong and stable. “I think our principles are still very much there,” he said. “They haven’t disappeared.” Back in his state house district, Chesney said he believes Kinzinger is in “a super minority” of Republicans, and that Kinzinger’s message of lack of leadership and forgotten values isn’t what Stephenson County Republicans are talking about in carpool lanes and coffee shops. “I don’t believe that’s anywhere close to reflective of where we’re at as a party,” said Chesney, who also serves as Stephenson County’s GOP chair. “I think there’s certainly an autopsy to discuss what worked and what didn’t work in Trump’s presidency, but that’s not what he’s doing. “He’s trying to implode the entire party.” Also during Tuesday’s press call, Kinzinger readily denied rumors that he might be using the impeachment as a catapult to statewide office. “People that speculate that don’t know me,” he said. “I don’t have any plans for anything higher in Illinois. … As always, I’ll put the caveat that I’m not going to rule anything out because Jan. 5 and Jan. 7 are two very different days in this world.”)

https://www.breitbart.com/clips/2021/02/12/matt-gaetz-gop-establishment-has-a-frontman-in-adam-kinzinger/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Thursday on FNC’s “The Ingraham Angle,” Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) discussed his ongoing feud with colleague Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-IL) over the direction of the Republican Party and former President Donald Trump’s role in the party. Gaetz reacted to Kinzinger’s efforts to steer the party away from Trump and his allies in the post-Trump presidency era. “If Adam Kinzinger wants to challenge me in a Republican primary, he better pack a lunch if he’s coming to northwest Florida,” Gaetz said. “I think I could win a Republican primary in my district or in the state of Wyoming based on the crowds I got there.” “Donald Trump was a threat to the establishment in both parties, Laura, and in the Republican Party, the establishment wants their power back, and they found their frontman in Adam Kinzinger,” Gaetz continued. “I believe we should still be the America first party that stands against starting wars in places that excessively entangle our country in foreign matters. I don’t think we should invite every illegal alien across our borders so that corporate America can have lower wages for our fellow Americans, and I don’t think we should have trade deals that benefit Wall Street but hollow out the towns and cities throughout our great nation.” The Florida Republican lawmaker reminded viewers that Kinzinger and other Trump critics, including Sen. Mitt Romney (R-UT), sought jobs from the former president in his presidency’s early stages. “He wanted to be Trump’s secretary of the Air Force,” Gaetz added. “It’s just so funny to me, Laura, that all these people that ended up being anti-Trump wanted jobs with Trump. Romney wanted to be the secretary of state. Kinzinger wanted to be the secretary of the Air Force. He even enlisted my help to get that job. And then when they didn’t get that job, they wanted with President Trump, they all of a sudden decided to accelerate their own fame by becoming critics.”)

https://www.cnsnews.com/commentary/tony-perkins/how-conservatives-can-respond-big-business-betrayal
(FROM THE ARTICLE: If there is good news, Justin agrees, it’s that consumers are finally seeing corporate America for what it is. And if their resentment continues to grow, it could signal a major shift in the political landscape. Remember: conservatives and the Republican Party have long been the most reliable advocates of business. Now, with the Chamber of Commerce outing itself as a satellite office of the Democratic Party, a dramatic sea change could be underway.)

VOICE OF AMERICA
— DIERSEN HEADLINE: A hate-filled Trump-hating Trump-hater asks “Who Were the US Capitol Rioters?” (DIERSEN: Hate-filled Trump-hating Trump-haters will use this to get rid of “normal” Trump supporters once and for all. The more of the following that a Trump-supporter is, the faster that hate-filled Trump-hating Trump-haters will get rid of them: White, male, older, non-poor, law enforcement officer, veteran, conservative, patriotic, Republican, American, heterosexual, married, gun owner, Christian, Protestant, Italian American, German American, and/or if your ancestors have been in America for a long time.)
https://www.voanews.com/usa/who-were-us-capitol-rioters
(FROM THE ARTICLE: They found that in contrast to right-wing extremists arrested over the past five years, the Capitol rioters make up an older, better employed crowd. The majority are white and male. Sixty-six percent are 34 years or older; 85% have jobs; 13% are business owners, while 27% hold white-collar jobs. . .Now, nearly five weeks after the attack, researchers at the University of Chicago have concluded that the majority of the rioters were not members of far-right groups but “normal” Trump supporters — part of his political base. Among them were doctors, lawyers, architects and business owners. . .Of the 221 defendants the researchers investigated, 198 had no known links to militias or other far-right groups. That is about 90% of the total. The researchers characterize these unaffiliated rioters as “normal” pro-Trump activists.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Sure, getting organic traffic to your website is desirable, but let’s face it – creating great content, then optimizing it for search engines, posting it on social media, and waiting for results takes time. There is a better, faster way. Buy traffic. To the purist, buying traffic to grow a site might seem like cheating, but it’s not. It’s smart. Does Coca-Cola advertise? You bet. What about McDonald’s? Yep. Microsoft? Of course. Most businesses that have exploded in size have done so with the help of advertising, and that is all paid traffic is – the placement of ads around the web that people click and which then drives them to your site. There are five ways you can buy traffic online:)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: The fastest way we’ve found to pinpoint the extent of these problems is to conduct a quick pulse survey of your employees. If done correctly, within a week, you could have actionable insight pinpointing the extent of your issues and exactly where (departments, shifts, etc.) they’re occurring. What questions should you ask your employees? I recommend using some of the survey questions contained in the Leadership IQ discrimination study. For example, one of the most important questions you can ask is, “Management at my organization listens to employee concerns about discrimination (race, sex/gender, age, etc.) without blame or defensiveness.”)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Rep. Marcy Kaptur, D-Ohio, complained in a recent interview with The Hill that she feels like a minority in her own party. Kaptur shared data showing that 19 of the 20 wealthiest congressional districts in the country are now represented by Democrats, and she quoted unnamed Democratic colleagues whose callous comments reflected a complete lack of sympathy for or understanding of blue-collar Americans. And it isn’t just working-class whites who feel they are being left behind by Democrats. Blacks and Hispanics voted Republican in much larger numbers in 2020. Republicans see this as something of an opportunity. Immediately after the November election, House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., said, “This election cycle has made one thing clear: The Republican Party is now the party of the American worker.”)

— FRONT PAGE TOP OF FOLD IN NAPERVILLE SUN: Dispute over how GOP chose Naperville Township candidates results in two slates on ballot, court fight – SUZANNE BAKER
https://www.chicagotribune.com/suburbs/naperville-sun/ct-nvs-naperville-township-ballot-lawsuit-st-0210-20210209-xwpvrl37mvamzedhbfn4nehjyq-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Ballots cannot be altered to remove names because they are being prepared in advance of early voting, which starts Feb. 25. The controversy centers on accusations from 17 township residents who say the Republican caucus held virtually Dec. 1 via the internet-based platform Zoom was neither fair nor honest, which is why they held their own caucus instead. Republican organization Chairman Jim Ruhl said the decision to host the caucus via Zoom was made so that anyone, including older people and those who fearful of going out in public because of the coronavirus pandemic, could participate. To provide more flexibility, Republicans who are not internet savvy had the option of calling in by phone, he said. “We did not want to disenfranchise any voter,” Ruhl said. “We chose Zoom for the health and well-being of everyone.” At a meeting a month before the caucus, the organization agreed to slate candidates for the two township positions held by Republicans now: the seats of Assessor Warren Dixon III and Trustee Paul Santucci, he said. Dixon plans to step down and asked Matthew Rasche to run as his replacement; Santucci is seeking reelection. Both candidates were approved during the organization’s virtual caucus Dec. 1. The other set of candidates was selected the same night in the parking lot outside the Naperville Township offices on Water Street in Naperville. They include Lynda Segneri for supervisor, Barbara Lukoff for clerk, Gary Vician for assessor, and Thomas Laz, Gabby Serna and Bill Breyne for the three open trustee seats. That slate was not certified by the township clerk nor forwarded to the county clerk so the candidates filed a lawsuit to have their names listed on the ballot. Attorney Keri-Lyn Krafthefer, who represents the plaintiffs, said 17 Republican voters showed up at the Naperville Township offices Dec. 1 for the caucus. When they were denied in-person access to the meeting, they caucused outside in the parking lot, Krafthefer said. Their lawsuit contends there is no provision in state law that permits a caucus election to be conducted electronically. Vician said a caucus is essentially a primary election, and elections are held in person, not virtually. Caucusing in person allows everyone to have a voice and speak freely, he said. “You really can’t do that on a Zoom call,” Vician said. “In a Zoom meeting, you can be silenced (through muting or ignoring someone who raises their hand).” Rather than decide which slate of candidates should be on the April 6 ballot, DuPage Judge James McCluskey ruled everyone would be listed for the consolidated election. In a written ruling explanation issued Friday, McCluskey said the Zoom caucus was “not properly conducted in a fair and honest manner.” The judge said he agreed with the plaintiffs’ argument that the Zoom caucus was held “in blatant contravention to the Township Code and the Governor’s Executive Order 2020-73 which exempts Township Caucuses from electronic means.” Gov. J.B. Pritzker’s Nov. 18 coronavirus mitigation order to which the judge referred was interpreted differently by the two sides. Krafthefer said the governor’s executive order “does not apply to the December 2020 township caucuses,” which means caucuses can be held in person as required by state law. But Ruhl said the Republican organization was following the governor’s directive. The same order a few sentences later says, “Nothing in this Executive Order prohibits caucuses from being held virtually, and caucus organizers are encouraged to facilitate virtual attendance, to convene outdoors, and must adhere to all Social Distancing Requirements.” Ruhl said he’s not sure when the appellate court will rule, though he expects a decision will be made before April 6 when votes are counted.)

— CPD Creates New Policy Banning Retaliation Against Officers Who Report Misconduct – Patrick Smith (DIERSEN: Democrats run the federal government. They retaliate against federal employees who report political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, or age discrimination. They get rid of federal employees who are Republican, White, male, and/or non-veteran who they do not promote to GS-13 (currently $102,188) by age 25, GS-14 (currently $120,755) by age 30, GS-15 (currently $142,041) by age 35, and Senior Executive Service (currently $172,500) by age 40. Extremely few federal employees make the aforesaid promotion deadlines.)

POLITICO ILLINOIS
— FROM THE ARTICLE: Kinzinger insists he’s focused only on rebuilding the GOP. “I really have felt compelled that this is a fight worth having and if it leads to me being out of office in a year and a half, so be it, I’m at peace. If it leads to something else, so be it, I’m at peace. But right now, the battle is to save the soul of this party.” As for LaSalle County Republicans censuring him last week and the state GOP saying it “disagrees” with Kinzinger’s views, Kinzinger said, “I prefer not to be censured, but I really, really will not lose an ounce of sleep if I am. Not even an ounce.” (DIERSEN: Ever-increasingly, not only hate-filled Trump-hating Trump-haters, but also hate-filled conservative-hating conservative-haters are using Kinzinger to destroy the Republican Party.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: At least six House Democrats who represent districts Mr. Trump carried in November are on the N.R.C.C. list: Representatives Cindy Axne of Iowa, Cheri Bustos of Illinois, Jared Golden of Maine, Elissa Slotkin of Michigan, Andy Kim of New Jersey and Ron Kind of Wisconsin. Ms. Bustos, who led the House Democrats’ campaign arm in 2020, had margins of victory that shrunk from 24 percentage points in 2018 to four points in 2020. But with Illinois certain to lose at least one seat, her gerrymandered district, which snakes around to include Democratic-leaning sections of Peoria and Rockford along with the Illinois portion of the Quad Cities, will change before she faces voters again.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Problems remembering names and conversations, difficulty paying attention, and slower processing speeds — these are all symptoms that people are experiencing post-COVID-19 infections. A new University of California, San Francisco study indicates these brain-related symptoms may be quite common. . .Dr. Hellmuth recently published a study that shows 20% of her the participants had persistent cognitive symptoms after COVID infections. “These problems seem to be quite common.” She says her study was based on 100 patients, none of whom had been hospitalized. Their ages ranged from 35-56 and the median age was 39. “Surviving from COVID is great, but we now need to be also thinking about the long term impacts to society, if we have millions of people who are no longer able to contribute in the workplace like they used to.”)

CRAIN’S CHICAGO BUSINESS
— After Capitol riots, can Republicans still count on corporate Chicago for cash? “A lot of companies are keeping their powder dry for a while,” says one GOP fundraiser. “Every PAC I’ve talked to says they’re going to reassess.” – GREG HINZ (DIERSEN: He who pays the piper calls the tunes. How many major donors hint/imply/argue/shout that the more that is done to get rid of Trump-supporters, the more money that they will give? 2,446,891 in Illinois voted for Trump, 193,611 in DuPage County voted for Trump, 20,080 in Milton Township voted for Trump, and 157 in my precinct voted for Trump.)
https://www.chicagobusiness.com/greg-hinz-politics/after-capitol-riots-can-republicans-still-count-corporate-chicago-cash
(FROM THE ARTICLE: “A lot of companies are keeping their powder dry for a while,” says fundraiser Lisa Wagner, who works for an A-list of Republican officials. “Every PAC I’ve talked to says they’re going to reassess.” Wagner says corporations are under more pressure today to justify their political giving and that recent decisions to reassess after the Capitol riot ought to be viewed in that light. Going the furthest at this point is Northern Trust. “Recent political events require that the (company’s) PACs now consider additional criteria prior to making a political contribution,” the bank said in a statement. “The PACs now will exclude from future consideration any members of the U.S. Congress who voted against acceptance of the Electoral College vote results following the events of Jan. 6.” In Illinois, that would affect two GOP House members, downstaters Mary Miller and Mike Bost, who were among 138 House Republicans to vote to reject reported election results from Pennsylvania. Slightly less extensive are decisions made by firms including Exelon, Abbott, Kraft Heinz, Mondelez International, and Aon. Following previously announced decisions by McDonald’s, Discover, State Farm, Allstate and Boeing, they’ve temporarily halted donations to federal candidates. “Following the January riot at the U.S. Capitol, we immediately suspended all corporate and organized employee contribution (through our political action committee) to federal representatives at least through the end of the first quarter,” Mondelez said in a statement.)

— DECEMBER 17, 2018 FLASHBACK: Alumna Kate Siggerud on Government and the GAO Top executive in ‘congressional watchdog’ agency guided by Humphrey School values – Carmen Peota (DIERSEN: One could compare and contrast Siggerud’s GAO career with my GAO career. GAO audits IRS. I started with GAO as an Analyst in 1980 when I was 31 years old. I brought with me almost 9 years of experience working for IRS, the last 5 1/2 years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 Levels, currently $85,935-$97,395/year. I had passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979. I had earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976. Nevertheless, my Democrat GAO superiors forced me to take a $20,361/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer. I earned a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980. I passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981. I became a licensed CPA in 1981. In 1986, the GAO manager who hired me finally succeeded in getting me assigned to audits of IRS and promoting me to GS-13, currently $102,188/year. But my Democrat GAO superiors forced him to retire in 1987 and threw me off audits of IRS in 1988. Nevertheless, I became a Certified Fraud Examiner in 1990, Certified Government Financial Manager in 1994, Certified Financial Services Auditor in 1996, and Forensic Accountant in 1997. I earned a master’s degree in financial markets and trading from IIT in 1997. Nevertheless, my Democrat GAO superiors succeeded in forcing me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years old.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Siggerud started as an analyst at the agency’s Chicago field office just after earning her master’s degree in public policy in 1987. She has now risen to one of the GAO’s top jobs, chief operating officer, and is a member of the agency’s executive committee. As COO, Siggerud oversees all of the 700 to 800 reports GAO generates each year.)

The 19 states were California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Illinois, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Oregon, Rhode Island, Vermont, and Washington state.)

https://www.chicagobusiness.com/greg-hinz-politics/illinois-gop-surprisingly-peaceful-start-new-leader
(FROM THE ARTICLE: “It was very professional and pleasant,” said GOP State Central Committeeman Roger Claar, the former mayor of Bolingbrook and an early Trump supporter in Illinois. “No one was arguing. I am very surprised with how it went.” . . . “The upcoming election cycle can be monumental if we seize on the tremendous opportunities before us,” said Tracy in a statement, referring to expected re-election bids by Gov. J.B. Pritzker and U.S. Sen. Tammy Duckworth, and other contests. “The only way we can capitalize on these opportunities in 2022 is if we unite the party. My No. 1 priority is to give very Republican a seat at the table and every Republican a voice.” Easier said than done. “If I knew how to (unite the party) I would have run,” quipped Claar. And Tracy has not been able for an interview to detail his plans, such as whether Shaw will have a role, how the party will replace a generation of longtime leaders that now is retiring or how the organization will revive fund-raising that to a large degree has stalled since Rauner left office.)

WASHINGTON TIMES
— Sen. Ron Johnson: Capitol fencing sends signal that Trump voters are ‘all insurrectionists’ Republicans frustrated by barbed-wire fencing installed after Jan. 6 attack – Valerie Richardson (DIERSEN: Under the Democrats and under the RINOs, expect stronger and stronger and stronger actions to get  rid of Trump-supporters once and for all. 2,446,891 in Illinois voted for Trump, 193,611 in DuPage County voted for Trump, 20,080 in Milton Township voted for Trump, and 157 in my precinct voted for Trump.)
https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2021/feb/7/ron-johnson-capitol-fencing-sends-signal-trump-vot/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Sen. Ron Johnson, Wisconsin Republican, said Sunday he worries that keeping the fencing around the U.S. Capitol is meant to send a message that Trump supporters “are all insurrectionists.” “I think the fencing is remaining in place to send a signal, a narrative that 74 million Americans that voted for President Trump are dangerous to our democracy, they’re all insurrectionists,” said Mr. Johnson on Fox’s “Sunday Morning Futures.” “And that’s simply not the case.” Frustration over the fencing is building, at least on the Republican side. A Friday letter from 42 House Republicans urged House Speaker Nancy Pelosi to “remove the barbed wire fencing surrounding the Capitol and send the National Guard troops home to their families.” “Let us be clear. The events that happened on January 6 were horrific. Understandably, certain increased security measures following that date were implemented,” said the letter led by Rep. Ted Budd, North Carolina Republican. “But it is time for Congress and its representatives to stop hiding.”)

(DIERSEN: How soon will Democrats succeed in getting the United States, Illinois, your county, your township, and your municipality to label the Republican Party a terrorist group? How soon will banks and other financial institutions seize assets of Republicans? How soon will the United States, Illinois, your county, your township, and your municipality officially prohibit Republicans a) from seeking or holding any kind of government or political office, b) from getting an education, c) from getting or keeping a job, d) from owning firearms or ammunition, e) from leasing or owning vehicles, f) from renting or owning real estate, g) etc.?)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: With this designation, it gives banks and financial institutions the grounds to, you know, seize assets, you know, not renew mortgages. It’s a very effective way at stopping support for a group at a ground level. And I should also say that I think one of the things it did was by designating the Proud Boys a terror group – whether you would agree with that or not, it does allow a certain amount of deterrence to happen, that, you know, some regular person who wants to don the yellow-and-black Fred Perry golf shirt might be less inclined to because that could, you know, have them wind up on a list where their bank no longer wants to bank with them.)

CAPITOL FAX
— UPDATE 4 *** Some members of the Eastern Bloc…State Representatives Blaine Wilhour (R-Beecher City), Brad Halbrook (R-Shelbyville), Dan Caulkins (R-Decatur), Chris Miller (R-Oakland) and Adam Niemerg R-Dieterich) are issuing the following statement on the election of Don Tracy as Illinois Republican Chairman. “Despite some news reports, Don Tracy is Chairman of the Illinois Republican Party because several of the most conservative legislators in the state who represent the areas with the most weighted vote were involved and backed him. We talked directly with Tracy and supported him based on his commitment to continuing to engage working families and support the values of working people. This isn’t a Trump or anti-Trump deal. It’s about putting the Republican Party in the best position to win by speaking to the middle class and working class families in Illinois who have disproportionately shouldered the burden of poor policies from our state’s one-party rule for far too long. We have been and will continue to be engaged in this process, and we look forward to working with Chairman Tracy. Make no mistake about it- the election of Don Tracy as State Party Chairman is a big win for conservatives.

TOWNHALL
— AS THE DEMOCRAT PARTY’S STRANGLEHOLD ON AMERICA, ON ILLINOIS, ON COOK COUNTY, AND ON CHICAGO TIGHTENS: Democrats: The Party of Systemic Racism – Kevin Grieve
https://townhall.com/columnists/kevingrieve/2021/02/07/democrats-the-party-of-systemic-racism-n2584289
(FROM THE ARTICLE: There is structural and systemic racism in the United States. The inconvenient truth is that it is perpetrated, propagated, and perpetuated by the Left. Birthed in the cesspool of radical Left university departments, demagogic terms like white privilege, whiteness, or white fragility are part of a poisonous and dangerous ideology that is meant to divide rather than unite. Critical race theory and racial equality can be summed up in a single statement: if you are white, you are racist and if you are a person of color, you are oppressed. The combination of white guilt plus black victimhood is especially toxic. Our self-anointed “Uniter-in-Chief” Joe Biden has jumped on the race hustler bandwagon under the guise of diversity training with his recent decision to rescind an executive order from former President Trump that would have put restrictions on advancing racial equality by limiting diversity training for federal government employees and its contractors. In other words, more identity politics. Unfortunately, this isn’t an anomaly for Democrats. This isn’t a blip on the Democratic arc of history bending towards justice. Judging people by the color of their skin rather than the content of their character has a rich history in the Democratic Party. Democrats have been solely responsible for defending slavery, starting the Civil War, opposing reconstruction, lynching blacks, founding the Ku Klux Klan, Jim Crow laws and segregation, poll taxes and literacy tests. The Party voted against the 13th amendment (end slavery), 14th amendment (black citizenship), and 15th amendment (black right to vote), filibustered the 1960 Civil Rights Act (elimination of poll taxes), and tried to filibuster the 1964 Civil Rights Act for 60 days, the longest filibuster in Senate history. The Civil War wasn’t North v. South, as highlighted in the Lincoln-Douglas debates in the northern state of Illinois. It was a Democrat v. Republican battle. The infamous Dred Scott decision (blacks were property) in 1857 was a Supreme Court vote of 7 Democrat justices for, and 2 Republican justices against. By 1900, more than 20 black Republicans had served in Congress. Democrats did not elect a single black congressman until 1935. And every black senator until 1979 was a Republican. When federal troops withdrew from the South after reconstruction ended, Democrats’ white supremacy laws re-emerged with a vengeance enforced by the paramilitary arm of the Democratic Party, the KKK, which was used to suppress blacks from voting Republican. . .If Democrats really wanted to help blacks, they would treat abortion as a tragedy, support school choice, work to end the failed welfare state, drop the idea of defunding police, promote advancement based on merit and character not the amount of melanin in your skin, end open borders which flood the market with cheap labor and steal jobs from black Americans, end their support of minimum wage laws which lead to higher black unemployment, and end their social justice mantra which is equality by group not the individual, anathema to America’s founding principles. I know, wishful thinking. So, whenever you hear Democrats calling Republicans racists, just know there is a simple psychological term for this: projection.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Ron Weiser, a wealthy real estate developer from Ann Arbor, was elected chair of the Michigan Republican Party on Saturday, bringing along a vice chair who has caused consternation among some factions of the party because of her fierce support of former President Donald J. Trump. The vote from more than 2,000 party delegates did little to heal the deep divide in the party that surfaced this week when Laura Cox, the chair of the party for the last two years, jumped back into the race at the last minute, saying that Mr. Weiser had used $200,000 in party funds as a payoff to get a candidate out of the race for secretary of state in 2018.)

ILLINOIS REPUBLICAN PARTY
— ILGOP Statement on Push to Impeach Former President Trump
https://mailchi.mp/b120fc223d01/icymi-pritzker-admin-mia-while-over-20-of-lasalle-veterans-home-residents-die-of-covid-4739456
(FROM THE PRESS RELEASE: Ten Republican members of the US House of Representatives have formally voted to impeach former President Donald Trump, and a few in the Senate may join them as well. This action has created widespread division and anger among the Republican party both nationally and here in Illinois. In response the Illinois Republican Party has released the following statement: “We strongly disagree with any Republican, Congressman Adam Kinzinger included, who voted to impeach President Trump or those who vote to convict him in the U.S. Senate, but we will let the voters be the arbiters of any vote taken by an elected official. As we prepare to select a new chairman of the Illinois Republican Party on Saturday, it’s our collective belief that uniting the party will be the single greatest endeavor of the new chairman. Our elected officials must unite behind defeating President Biden’s radical left-wing agenda. In just two weeks in office, the President has already given into extremists by cancelling the Keystone pipeline, refusing to enforce our immigration laws, and cowering to the teachers unions who refuse to educate our children in-person despite all the evidence of its necessity. The stakes of the 2022 election here in Illinois – defeating Gov. JB Pritzker and Sen. Tammy Duckworth, winning back congressional seats, and electing Republican judges to the Illinois Supreme Court – are too monumental to engage in a circular firing squad. We cannot play into Democrat hands by fighting amongst each other, so we encourage all Republicans to focus on the future rather than relitigating the past.”)

AMERICAN FREE PRESS
— The Pendulum Will Swing
https://americanfreepress.net/the-pendulum-will-swing/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Donald Trump has stumbled and fallen, and the establishment is not going to let slip this last opportunity to stomp him and his movement to death. A month ago, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi issued a startling ultimatum: Either Vice President Mike Pence and the Trump Cabinet invoke the 25th Amendment, declare the president “unfit” for office, and remove him within 24 hours, or House Democrats will vote to impeach him again. Such is the blind hatred of Pelosi’s House for Donald Trump. Rep. James Clyburn of South Carolina suggested holding off sending a bill of impeachment to the Senate for 100 days to give Biden a chance to get his appointees confirmed, and then indict and convict Mr. Trump of sedition when he is a private citizen. What would be the purpose of impeaching a president who hasn’t been president for three months? Answer: A conviction would strip Republicans of the right to reelect the man who got the largest number of votes in their party’s history. House Democrats want veto power over whom Republicans can nominate. And this is the crowd that does not cease to bray about its devotion to “democracy.”)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: A Republican leader has decided to take on Big Tech. It’s high time. While other Republican legislators complain and pontificate about Twitter, Facebook and Google’s interference in our elections and censoring of conservative voices, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has declared war on the tech giants. DeSantis is proposing legislation that asks the Florida state legislature to impose stiff fines – up to $100,000 per day – on tech companies that “deplatform” political candidates running for office in his state. Candidates like, for instance, Donald Trump. Calling the tech giants “enforcers of preferred narratives” whose interests are “not in the public interest,” DeSantis, a Republican, wants to “ensure the protection of the people and their rights.” His proposed bill would allow individuals and the Florida attorney general to sue firms that violate newly established safeguards against privacy violations and censorship.)

https://www.wsj.com/articles/primary-challenges-proliferate-against-republicans-who-voted-to-impeach-11612521001
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Diante Johnson, an organizer with Black Voices for Trump last year and a field organizer with Trump’s 2016 campaign, has told associates he may launch a challenge to Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R., Ill.), depending on how the district looks after Democratic-led redistricting in the state this year. According to a person familiar with his thinking, Johnson is leaning toward launching a bid, motivated by Kinzinger’s vote to impeach Trump and his overall opposition to the former Republican president. Kinzinger has said he is at peace with the possibility that he could lose re-election over his Trump stance and launched a political-action committee to support fellow anti-Trump Republicans.)

I graduated in 1970 from NIU with a bachelor’s degree in management. What negatively impacted your job search? For me, it was my being draft bait. My father had died suddenly in October of 1969. Potential employers did not believe that my financial hardship draft deferment application to support my mother and brother in Crete would be approved. Further, potential employers were under tremendous pressure to hire minorities, females, and veterans. Consequently, I took the only job offer that got — retail sales manager for the Firestone Store in Chicago Heights. The job did not really require a college degree. Constructively, I was the store’s showroom salesman. Advancement opportunities were limited and slow. The store’s manager did not approve of my demographics (draft avoider, German-American, and Protestant). He never would have hired me, but Firestone Stores headquarters forced him to take me.)
