— KINZINGER, CHENEY and CENSURE – SHIA KAPOS and MARIA CARRASCO

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Rep. Adam Kinzinger unloaded on House GOP leaders Wednesday as Republicans in Illinois’ LaSalle County announced they’d voted “overwhelmingly” to censure him for his vote to impeach former President Donald Trump. The Illinois congressman has become a symbol of the schism within the GOP both in Illinois and in Congress as Republicans try to grapple with Trump’s influence on the party. Kinzinger says he’s worried the GOP is headed down a dangerous path and he’s flooded the airwaves saying so. During a tense House GOP conference meeting that ran more than four hours, Kinzinger “unleashed hell” on Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy for spending more time defending pro-Trumper Marjorie Taylor Greene than Wyoming Rep. Liz Cheney, calling it “embarrassing,” according to a source familiar with the day’s action. Ultimately, McCarthy offered “a full-throated defense” of Cheney, and the caucus voted to let her keep her leadership position on a 2-1 margin, according to POLITICO’s Melanie Zanona and Olivia Beavers. And POLITICO’s national Playbook reports Greene walked back some of her over-the-top claims of bowing to QAnon. The meeting wrapped up with Republicans taking the view that Cheney had a right to vote her conscience when she (and Kinzinger) sided with Democrats to impeach Trump for his role in inciting the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol. Meanwhile, the full House will vote today on a measure to remove Greene from her committee assignments. Closer to home, members of the LaSalle County Republican Central Committee voted 88 percent in favor of censuring Kinzinger, Chairman Larry Smith said in a statement Wednesday night. Two reasons were cited for censure: Kinzinger has not met with the La Salle Republican in over six years and that he was one of 10 Republican representatives to call for impeachment. The censure disavows Kinzinger “for acting contrary to the values” of La Salle County Republicans, Smith said. A similar resolution for censure is being presented to the Winnebago County Republican Central Committee, reports the Rockford Register Star. In a statement to Playbook, Kinzinger spokeswoman Maura Gillespie responded: “While Capitol Police Officer [Brian] Sicknick was being honored in state for his ultimate sacrifice — defending our democracy — the LaSalle County GOP was condemning Congressman Kinzinger for trying to hold the president accountable for the actions that led to his death.”)

— LaSalle County GOP censures Kinzinger; state GOP could soon – Rick Koshko
https://www.1430wcmy.com/2021/02/03/lasalle-county-gop-censures-cong-kinzinger-state-gop-could-soon/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The LaSalle County Republican Party reports its central committee has voted, with 88% of members agreeing, to censure Cong. Adam Kinzinger. The party disapproves of him for not meeting with the central committee in the last six years and for voting to impeach Pres. Trump. Chairman Larry Smith says the party has received hundreds of messages via text, email, and telephone from LaSalle County and beyond about Kinzinger. Censure is a strong statement of disapproval. It doesn’t remove Kinzinger from office or boot him out of the party. The message behind it says the party’s most ardent supporters won’t support him. That increases his vulnerability if someone runs against him in a primary or if he wants to use party resources in a campaign. The LaSalle County Republican Party Central Committee met Tuesday night. The Chicago Tribune reports the Illinois GOP could consider a censure motion against Kinzinger this Saturday.)

WEEK
— LaSalle County GOP leaders vote to censure Kinzinger – Howard Packowitz
https://week.com/2021/02/04/lasalle-county-gop-leaders-vote-to-censure-kinzinger/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Republicans who organized a rally in Ottawa last weekend against U.S. Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-Channahon) has now censured him for supporting former President Donald Trump’s impeachment. The LaSalle County Republican Central Committee sent out a news release via social media Wednesday night announcing 88% of its precinct committeemen voted to reprimand the McLean County native. At their regular monthly meeting in Ottawa, committeemen repeatedly noted Kinzinger was one of only 10 Republican House members who voted with Democrats to impeach Trump, and the Congressman has not met with the central committee for more than six years. “Congressman Kinzinger’s actions and statements against former President Trump have opened a Pandora’s Box of criticism,” said Larry Smith, the county’s GOP chair, in a prepared statement. “The LaSalle County Republicans have received hundreds upon hundreds of emails, text messages, and phone calls from our county and beyond expressing their frustration and a lot more with Congressman Kinzinger’s actions and statements the past few months,” said Smith. “Many have been very direct that their support for the Republican Party is over if Congressman Kinzinger’s behavior isn’t addressed,” Smith also said. Smith claims more than 40 county Republican Central Committees statewide have given their “unsolicited support” for the censure. Kinzinger represents Illinois’ 16th Congressional District, which includes LaSalle, Livingston, Bureau, and Putnam Counties.)

CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— How Republicans at home view Kinzinger’s anti-Trump ‘Country First’ movement – LISA DONOVAN
https://www.chicagotribune.com/politics/ct-obama-groundbreaking-kinzinger-home-district-legislature-spin-20210204-bsqt2qppozcsfbi4xdvttkejy4-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Days after Kinzinger launched his national effort to recalibrate a national Republican Party whose unofficial leader remains former President Trump, he was asked how his efforts have been received among constituents in his district back home in Illinois. The five-term congressman from Channahon, southwest of Joliet, told viewers of MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” that “the Republican base (is) pretty ticked off at me.” Of late, he’s taken a fatalistic view that his congressional career may be on the ropes because of his anti-Trump stance. But he also expressed some optimism on MSNBC. Winning with 64.7% of the vote last fall, Kinzinger points out that he finished 15 percentage points ahead of Trump, who lost to Joe Biden with 40.55% of the vote in Illinois. To Kinzinger, his margin of victory suggests he has more than loyal Republicans in his camp. “I think what that shows is that Democrats will still be open to voting for you,” Kinzinger said, while acknowledging, “Independents and Republicans that we’ve lost won’t.” Here’s what he didn’t say: As the Tribune’s Rick Pearson reported over the weekend, the Republican State Central Committee meets Saturday to pick a new state GOP chair, and some in the party want to use the forum to discuss Kinzinger and a possible reprimand for his anti-Trump statements. A member of the Winnebago County Republican Central Committee is pushing to censure Kinzinger, which would be nothing more than a public scolding, the Rockford Register Star and Springfield’s Capitol Fax politics blog reported last month. But it could mean GOP leaders in Winnebago County, part of the 16th District, will turn their backs on Kinzinger in the next election. Remap factor: “In 2022, Kinzinger faces a year in which Illinois’ congressional districts will be redrawn by Democrats to reflect the outcome of this year’s census — amid predictions that one or possibly two of the state’s 18 House seats will be eliminated,” Pearson reminds in this December piece that examines Kinzinger’s political horizons — which could include a bid for governor next year. Shrugging it off: “And if it costs us an election, great, because what that gives us an opportunity to do is to resell to the American people what the conservative vision is, and we need to quit being scared of this and lead again for once in some of our lives,” Kinzinger told MSNBC.)

FOX NEWS
— Study dismissing conservative concerns about Big Tech bias was funded by far-left Biden mega-donor. Billionaire Craig Newmark gave millions to Poynter Institute, which published ‘blacklist’ of conservative sites in 2019. – Brian Flood
(DIERSEN: I should write a book about those who blacklist me and blacklist my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters. I would focus on those who have lots of religious, government, political, and/or financial clout in Wheaton’s West District, Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County’s 4th District, DuPage County, and Illinois. I would focus on Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct who have lost elections, their major donors, their political consultants, their campaign managers, their campaign staff members, and their campaign volunteers. I would focus on those who I have sued.)
https://www.foxnews.com/media/study-dismissing-conservative-concerns-big-tech-bias-funded-joe-biden-mega-donor
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Poynter, which operates PolitiFact, infamously published a blacklist of 515 websites it deemed “unreliable” in 2019. The overwhelming majority were conservative, and it encouraged advertisers to not support them. Poynter ultimately apologized for the report, which was penned by an employee of the far-left Southern Poverty Law Center. Newmark has also called on Big Tech platforms to “take action” against “bad actors” online. “The social media platform[s] know who the bad actors are. They know who the foreign adversaries are, they know who their domestic allies are,” Newmark said on the Digiday podcast last year. “They should take action against all of them.” Conservatives have accused social media platforms of everything from shadow banning them to restricting free speech. Former Facebook employees admitted in 2016 to restricting news stories of interest to conservative readers from its “trending” section, and Big Tech employees have overwhelmingly favored Democrats in their political donations.)

— What Republicans Want Isn’t What they Get. Our two-party system distorts the representativeness of our politics. – JAMES JOYNER
(DIERSEN: Political parties exist to help elect candidates who can and will defend and advance their platform. The Republican Party is failing because of its “BIG TENT” policy of allowing people to lead the party who reject some, most, if not all of the planks in the party’s platform. Most commonly, they reject the traditional marriage/family, right to life, immigration, illegal drugs, Second Amendment, and/or equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) planks. I should write a book about Republican Party leaders in Illinois, in DuPage County, and in Milton Township since 2000 a) who reject the most planks in the Republican Party platform and b) who have worked the hardest to drive those like me who support the aforesaid planks out of the Republican Party.)

— KINZINGER’s GOP DILEMMA – Shia Kapos
(DIERSEN: By now, Illinois Republican Precinct Committeemen and Captains should have received an email from the Illinois Republican Party (IRP) that IRP Chairman candidate Mark Shaw favors full censure of Kinzinger while candidates Don Tracy and Scott Gryder reject censure. Further, by now, Illinois Republican Precinct Committeemen and Captains should have received an email from their representative on the IRP State Central Committee that states if they favor or reject censure.)
https://www.politico.com/newsletters/illinois-playbook/2021/02/01/kinzingers-gop-dilemma-teacher-strike-looms-calling-in-kamala-491587
(FROM THE ARTICLE: “Enough is enough,” Larry Smith, chairman of the LaSalle County Republican Central Committee, told Playbook after the rally. “He hasn’t talked to us for six years.” Smith said his Republican committee will vote Tuesday on whether to censure Kinzinger, and Smith suggested other GOP county committees could follow. So far, the state GOP has no plans to censure. But the party is in upheaval as Chairman Tim Schneider is stepping down and a new chairman is to be named Saturday. Up for the job are Kendall County Board Chairman Scott Gryder, Lake County Republican Chairman Mark Shaw, and former Illinois Gaming Board exec and former lieutenant governor candidate Don Tracy of Springfield. Shaw favors full censure of Kinzinger. While Tracy and Gryder, who oppose Kinzinger’s impeachment vote, nonetheless reject censure.)

https://www.cleveland.com/open/2021/02/will-the-ohio-gop-move-on-from-trump-a-qa-with-chairman-jane-timken.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Normally, a political party would move on from a losing presidential candidate. Party leaders already have shown some subtle signs of doing so – the state GOP removed images of Trump from the front page of its website earlier this month, and Republican National Committee Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel last week told the Associated Press the party would remain neutral if Trump runs again in 2024. But Trump has claimed he only lost the election because of widespread fraud, a claim his own Justice Department, dozens of courts and senior Republican leaders have rebuked as unsupported or false. Last week, cleveland.com / The Plain Dealer interviewed Timken, whom Trump personally helped install as leader of the state GOP shortly after he was elected, to ask how the party might – or might not – move on from the former president heading into 2022. . .What is the next step for Republicans post-Trump? . . . Do you think he will remain involved with the Republican Party? Do you think he will follow through on his reported threat to start a third party? . . . After losing the November election, do you think the party needs to distance itself from Trump? . . . Do you think Trump will continue to be the face of the Republican Party? . . .

TOWNHALL
— America Grows Sick on a Diet of Propaganda and Political Theater – Laura Hollis
https://townhall.com/columnists/laurahollis/2021/01/28/america-grows-sick-on-a-diet-of-propaganda-and-political-theater-n2583871
(FROM THE ARTICLE: First and foremost, of course, is the attempt by Democrats in Congress to impeach Trump for “inciting insurrection.” Most people won’t read the full text of Trump’s speech that day. It was vintage Trump, confrontational and full of braggadocio, but in it, he explicitly told his supporters to “peacefully and patriotically” make their voices heard. But no “insurrection” means no “incitement,” and that would mean no impeachment. The articles of impeachment are themselves a charade. As Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul stated on the Senate floor — and to which 44 other Republican senators agreed — the Constitution simply does not authorize Congress to take the action contemplated by an impeachment trial against a private citizen. Only a sitting president can be “removed,” and Donald Trump is no longer the president of the United States. Further, the U.S. Supreme Court announced that Chief Justice John Roberts will not preside over an impeachment trial in the Senate — another blow to those who claim that such a “trial” on the House’s single impeachment charge is legitimate. Finally, the 44 GOP senators who voted in favor of Paul’s procedural motion prove that the 50 Democratic senators will not get the additional 17 Republicans they need for a two-thirds majority to convict. So, the impeachment shtick isn’t about removing a man who is already gone, and it isn’t really about getting a conviction either. It’s more — and more extreme — political theater. If that’s not bad enough, the country is also struggling to recover from months of COVID lockdowns. Florida Sen. Marco Rubio described the impeachment charge as “stupid” and a waste of time. And it gets much worse. The target of the “insurrection” propaganda campaign is not so much Donald Trump as it is the 74 million-plus people who voted for him. Americans were stunned when Hillary Clinton referred to only half of Donald Trump’s supporters as a “basket of deplorables” in 2016. But Trump had millions more supporters in 2020, and now all of them are being demonized by Democrats and their mouthpieces in the media as threats, as “seditionists” and “white supremacists” who need to be “deprogrammed,” “reprogrammed,” imprisoned in “reeducation camps” or subjected to “Nuremburg trials.” These are not isolated remarks by fringe elements; they are comments made by “mainstream” Democratic voices: Washington Post correspondent Eugene Robinson, media darling Katie Couric, MSNBC anchor Don Lemon, actor Jon Cryer, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. Comments on these articles and tweets — made by non-famous, left-leaning Americans — are even worse. This is beyond political difference. It is a sickness.)

https://www.nytimes.com/2021/02/01/us/politics/biden-approval-rating-trump.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: President Biden entered the White House last month with a broadly positive approval rating — but well shy of the two-thirds of Americans who expressed support for his former boss, Barack Obama, when he took office 12 years ago. In fact, Biden’s net approval rating is lower than that of any incoming president since the dawn of modern polling, except for his predecessor, Donald Trump. It’s just another clear sign that we’ve entered a new era of partisanship: Media fragmentation and the hard-line politics it has helped foster may make it impossible for any leader to become a true consensus figure. But it also bears noting that Biden’s approval rating is basically a reverse image of Trump’s. In addition to being loathed by Republicans and embraced by Democrats, he’s firmly in positive territory among independents — who had consistently disapproved of Trump’s performance. A Monmouth University poll out last week found that 54 percent of Americans gave Biden’s performance positive marks, including nine in 10 Democrats and a plurality of independents, who approved by a 17-percentage-point margin (22 percent hadn’t yet formed an opinion). But among Republicans, his numbers were upside down. Just 15 percent approved, and 70 percent disapproved.)

https://www.chicagotribune.com/politics/ct-adam-kinzinger-trump-illinois-republicans-20210129-sybzihfppbazrcviq2v2cvupka-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: U.S. Rep. Adam Kinzinger’s vote to impeach Donald Trump and criticism of Republican congressional colleagues who support the former president has highlighted a split in the state GOP as it gets set to decide on new leadership. The Republican State Central Committee will meet Feb. 6 to decide among three candidates to replace outgoing Chairman Tim Schneider. But some in the party want to use the forum to discuss Kinzinger and a possible reprimand for his anti-Trump statements, which increased in vitriol following the Nov. 3 election and the Jan. 6 storming of the U.S. Capitol by Trump supporters. “There’s a group that wants to talk about it and it’s not positive. There are those who want to censure him. There’s people wanting to know what the state party is going to do about it,” said former Bolingbrook Mayor Roger Claar, who represents the 11th Congressional District near Kinzinger’s 16th District on the state GOP central committee. The schism in the state GOP mirrors what’s happening with Republicans nationally as the party struggles to move forward even as many of its voters continue to back Trump and believe the November election was stolen from him. On Sunday, Kinzinger doubled down on his position, announcing the formation of a “country first” movement and website attached to his Future First Leadership political action committee. He’s seeking like-minded supporters to “take back our party” and to “unplug the outrage machine, reject the politics of personality and cast aside the conspiracy theories and the rage.” “I think the Republican Party has lost its moral authority in a lot of areas. That doesn’t mean we don’t need to fight back to defend what we believe are our conservative principles. But when I ask people now, what is a conservative principle, how many people think that conservative principles are things like just build the wall and charge the Capitol and have an insurrection?” Kinzinger said on NBC’s “Meet The Press.” . . . But they also did not go unnoticed by state GOP leaders. Some have said they have received phone calls asking what the Illinois Republican Party was going to do about Kinzinger. The congressman was the subject of some discussion at a GOP State Central Committee meeting last weekend. “I think the party majority are kind of disappointed. I mean, the one thing I’ve heard most from Republicans over the years since Reagan is the old 11th Commandment,” Claar said of the former president’s admonishment to not speak ill of fellow Republicans. Claar accused Kinzinger of causing upheaval in the party to no clear end. “What is the point? Why are you elevating this thing into regional, if not national, prominence? What purpose are you serving here? You’re further pointing out the division in the party,” Claar said. Kinzinger has denied that he is attempting to position himself for a run for U.S. Senate or governor in 2022, though he has not ruled out a run for higher office. In a statewide race, his Trump criticism would likely be held against him in Downstate Illinois, which has grown more strongly conservative and ardently supported the former president in the past two elections. His stance could, however, help him among more moderate independents and Republicans in Chicago’s suburbs. Kinzinger recently told CNN that he believes with Trump gone, Republican leaders face a reckoning of where the GOP should go next — either aligning themselves with the former president or moving beyond him. “I think in six months it’s not going to be necessarily the party of Donald Trump. But this is the whole point: I do think we are in a battle, that it may be a battle that really needs to happen, for our party to say what is it we stand for now when it comes to policy. But as much as anything, are we aspirational or are we a party that feeds on fear and division?” Kinzinger said. “If you’re a leader of the Republican Party right now, you need to be focused on one thing — not winning another election, that’s not what we should be focused on right now. What we should be focused on is restoring the integrity of this party,” he said. Claar supported Trump and even co-hosted a fundraiser for him at the Bolingbrook Golf Club. That’s where the state GOP leaders were supposed to meet Saturday until a predicted snowstorm pushed off the date to Feb. 6. But he said Illinois Republicans should take a wait-and-see attitude on the party’s future and whether it should continue to align itself with the former president. “Let’s just leave it alone and see how it plays out,” Claar said. He said if the party does decide to speak out on Kinzinger, he would oppose any effort to censure the congressman for his conduct, a course taken by GOP leaders in some states against congressional members who voted for impeachment. “It serves no purpose to have headlines that say, ‘Republican state party censures congressman.’ That would just give it more legs,” Claar said. “I think it would be better to just issue an observation of the reality that a congressman can say what he wants and it’s up to his constituency to decide whether they like it or not.” Kinzinger did not respond to a request to speak about the GOP state central committee’s potential actions. On Sunday, during his “Meet The Press” interview, Kinzinger said he viewed GOP efforts to reprimand Trump opponents as an example of the “cancel culture” that Republicans have outspokenly criticized Democrats for exhibiting. . .Much of the state GOP’s decision on how to respond to Kinzinger may come down to its pick of a new chairman to replace Schneider, a former Cook County commissioner and Hanover Township trustee from Streamwood.)

DAILY HERALD
— Oppose racial profiling – Bradley Williams, Mundelein
https://www.dailyherald.com/discuss/20210127/oppose-racial-profiling
(FROM THE LETTER: HB0038 is currently in committee of the Illinois House of Representatives. This bill should concern Illinoisans who aspire for a community so beautifully described by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. as one where people “will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.” In a departure from Dr. King’s aspirations, HB0038 calls for consideration of race in the hiring process of public-school teachers. This would seem to violate several federal and state civil rights laws. Specifically, the Illinois Civil Rights Act of 2003 which explains that a unit of the state cannot “subject a person to discrimination under any program or activity on the grounds of that person’s race, color, national origin, or gender,” as well as the language of the Illinois Human Rights Act which prohibits race-based discrimination in employment. While one component of HB0038 undermines Dr. King’s message through employment considerations, another does so through mandates of curriculum and instruction at the local level. Starting as early as elementary school, HB0038 would require students to learn curriculum based in a discipline of academia that places race as an essential and defining part of human interaction. In this model, one’s status as oppressor or oppressed is heavily determined by skin color. In one application of this curriculum, groups of third-grade students analyzed their racial and sexual identities according to “power and privilege” and then wrote reflections on their status as being either privileged or oppressed. One parent described the activities as “basically teaching racism.” Humbly, I submit, a society that places race as an essentially defining element of most human interaction is not one so admirably envisioned by Dr. King. With that in mind, Illinoisans should oppose HB0038.)

— DIERSEN HEADLINE: A hate-filled Trump-hating Trump-hater promotes Adam Kinzinger and Joe Walsh. In my opinion, my becoming the only active member in GAO’s Chicago office in a class action lawsuit that charged my GAO superiors with reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation in 1988 when I was 40 years old was as serious as Kinzinger’s voting to impeach Trump in 2021 when he was 42 years old. My Democrat GAO superiors immediately threw me off audits of IRS and gave me an adverse job assignments, unfair performance expectations, and unfair performance appraisals. They might have succeeded in getting rid of me if Henry Hyde had not come to my defense. However, they continued to keep me off audits of IRS, to give me unfair performance expectations, to give me unfair performance appraisals, and to always rank me in the lower half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes. In 1997 they succeeded in forcing me to take their early retirement “offer.” They were furious that I became Certified Fraud Examiner in 1990, Certified Government Financial Manager in 1994, Certified Financial Services Auditor in 1996, and Forensic Accountant in 1997 and that I earned a job-related master’s degree in financial markets and trading from IIT in 1997 because the aforesaid frustrated their efforts to get rid of me. If I had had drinking problems like Kinzinger had, I would not have gotten jobs washing dishes 1964-1966; cleaning golf shoes, chipping slag, and pumping gasoline in 1966; delivering mail 1966-1969; working on an automobile assembly line and as a security guard in 1970; selling tires, automotive services, and major appliances 1970-1971; pumping gasoline 1971-1972; collecting delinquent taxes 1971-1980; or auditing federal agencies 1980-1997. IRS would not have promoted me in 1972, 1973, or 1974 and GAO would not have promoted me in 1986. If I had had drinking problems like Kinzinger had, Loyola might not have accepted me in 1972, DePaul might not have accepted me in 1976, and IIT might not have accepted me in 1992. If I had had drinking problems like Kinzinger had, I doubt that I would have passed CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979 or passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981. Kinzinger is a veteran. Starting in 1966, my Democrat superiors, Democrat supervisors, Democrat coworkers, and Democrat subordinates always used my avoiding the draft against me.)

In his first semester at Illinois State, he joined a fraternity and came home with a 2.5 GPA. The next semester, he got a 0.8 and was kicked out. He spent the next six months living with his parents and working as a manager in the furniture section of a department store.

— Disagreeing With Biden’s Transgender Policy Is ‘Incitement’ Now?! Facebook Says So… – TYLER O’NEIL
https://pjmedia.com/news-and-politics/tyler-o-neil/2021/01/26/disagreeing-with-bidens-transgender-policy-is-incitement-now-facebook-says-so-n1411958
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Ironically, Gagnon’s post drew attention to Facebook’s suspension of his friend, Laurie Higgins, who got a 7-day ban for criticizing Biden’s policy. “There was absolutely no incitement to violence on our part. We abhor violence done to any person,” Gagnon told PJ Media on Tuesday. “This is just a thinly veiled and pathetic excuse for censorship of any critical views toward trans-tyranny over our consciences, religion, and reason.” Only one point of view is being allowed,” he added, ominously. “Trump was not the great danger to the Republic. Left-wing canceling is.” Gagnon, who holds a Ph.D. in Pauline theology and sexuality from Princeton Theological Seminary, has published “The Bible and Homosexual Practice: Texts and Hermeneutics.” He teaches as a professor of New Testament Theology at Houston Baptist University. In the post Facebook flagged, Gagnon had defended Higgins’ response to Biden’s pro-transgender military policy.)

(DIERSEN: How old are you? I am 72. All my critics/opponents, all their operatives and all their dupes promote age discrimination. In my defense, I stress that no health problem or any other kind of problem has stopped me from putting together and sending out a GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletter each and every morning since 2004 and each and every evening since 2015.

(FROM THE ARTICLE: I’ve learned that ageism and age stereotyping are very real prejudices in our society. I’m guilty of both on occasion, including my feelings about President Joe Biden. His age, 78, was one of my biggest concerns toward his candidacy for president. It had nothing to do with his physical body or his determination to serve in office, only his mind. As he begins serving his four-year term, will he have the razor-sharp mental acuity needed for such a challenging job position, long day after long day?)

(DIERSEN: What plans have you had? My plan for a Post Office career ended in 1969 when my Democrat Post Office superiors succeeded in forcing me to resign. My plan for a career in the automotive industry ended in 1971 when Oldsmobile withdrew a job offer that I had accepted saying that Oldsmobile had just agreed to stop hiring Whites to settle an EEOC complaint. My plan for an IRS career ended in 1974 when my Democrat IRS superiors disallowed my partial day per diem claims and it further ended in 1975 when they got rid of my mentor, in 1978 when they disallowed my education deductions, and when they made it clear that they would never promote me to GS-13. My plan for a GAO career ended in 1980 when my Democrat GAO superiors forced me to take a $20,361 (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO and it further ended when they kept me off audits of IRS for all but 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for GAO, in 1987 when they got rid of my mentor and made it clear that they would never promote me to GS-14, when they gave me unfair performance expectations and appraisals and always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes, and when they forced me to retire in 1997 when I was 49 years old.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: What is the ‘boogaloo’? “QAnon followers, the Proud Boys and the other far-right and alt-right groups that converged on Washington imagined that they were living out the great fantasy that underlies what many consider to be the bible of the white nationalism movement, a 1978 dystopian novel, ‘The Turner Diaries,’ by William Luther Pierce,” writes Jonathan D. Sarna, a scholar of anti-Semitism at Brandeis University. “The novel depicts the violent overthrow of the government of the United States, nuclear conflagration, race war and the ultimate extermination of nonwhites and ‘undesirable racial elements among the remaining White population,’” he explains. This widespread and extremely violent conflagration is often called the “boogaloo” by its adherents.)

In Illinois, in DuPage County, in Milton Township, and in Wheaton, hate-filled Trump-hating Trump-haters want everyone to punish Trump a) by voting for Democrats in the April 6, 2021 election, b) by demonizing, denigrating, and condemning their Republican Precinct Committeeman/Captain, and c) by demonizing, denigrating, and condemning all the Republicans who represent them in Illinois, DuPage County, Milton Township, and Wheaton.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: On the one hand are those who were horrified by the Jan. 6 attack and the no-holds-barred efforts to overturn Trump’s loss in the two months after the election. On the other are staunch Trump supporters who believe local GOP officials didn’t do enough to support the president’s fight. The most outspoken of those expressing these opposite views say they can no longer support the Republican Party as it exists today. As a result, the Lancaster County GOP saw hundreds of its registered voters leave the party in the first half of January. In the week of the Jan. 6 attack, 249 Lancaster County Republicans switched their registration to other parties. Of those, 146 became Democrats. These party switches continued into the following week: From Jan. 11 to Jan. 18, 87 Lancaster County Republicans switched their registration to other parties, with 76 becoming Democrats, according to county Pennsylvania Department of State data. For all of 2020, 858 GOP voters in the county switched to other parties, meaning that in just the first two week of 2021 the party lost nearly 40% of the number of voters it lost to other parties in the entire preceding year. Although the party’s margin has narrowed over the past decade, Republicans still make up a slim majority of the county’s registered voters, currently 51.4%, giving the party a firm grasp on elected offices up and down the ballot outside Lancaster city and its suburbs, blue dots on the county’s otherwise dark red political terrain.)

January 23 Morning Edition

GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— The six applicants for Illinois Republican Party (IRP) Chairman are Steve Anderson, Mike Fryzel, Scott Gryder, Steve Sauerberg, Mark Shaw, and Don Tracy. The IRP State Central Committee (SCC) will meet via Zoom at 10:00 AM this morning to determine the finalists. On Saturday, January 30, 2021, the IRP SCC will interview the finalists and select the new IRP Chairman by weighted vote. Those who want to have input on the determination should contact their representative on the IRP SCC.

Sadly, this process is a far cry from what happened in 2005. In 2005, as an Illinois Center Right Coalition Steering Committee member, I organized a candidate forum in Springfield the evening before the IRP SCC meeting at which the IRP SCC elected Andy McKenna. Candidate forum attendees included McKenna, Steve McGlynn, John Cox, and Jim Nalepa.

According to Jeff Berkowitz’s report, the IRP SCC meeting “attracted about 500 Republican activists, operatives, party functionaries, office holders and wannabees– including more than 150 County, Ward and Township Committeemen; State GOP Chairman candidates Andy McKenna, Jr., Steve McGlynn, Jim Oberweis, John Cox and Jim Nalepa. Andy McKenna, Jr., who is known for his father’s and perhaps his own fundraising prowess and business contacts and who ran in the Republican U. S. Senate Primary in 2004, garnering 14% and a 4th out of 7 candidates finish, won the State GOP chairmanship vote, primarily because of the backing of the Illinois Republican Party Finance Committee, i.e., in large part the Chicago Metropolitan Republican Business Interests and Donors. McGlynn, who had campaigned vigorously for the position, withdrew prior to the vote when he saw he could not get a majority of the SCC weighted vote. Nalepa, who drew acclaim and cheers from the assembled for his stirring speech, came in a very distant second to McKenna– who, in addition to the aforementioned money interests, had the New Republican Establishment behind him– Lahood-Kirk, for sure, and most likely Cross. Of course, the New Republican Establishment and money interests go together like ham and cheese.”

If I was still the TAPROOT Republicans Chairman, the organization would host a candidate forum on Friday, January 29, 2021. Questions that I would ask the candidates include: a) If selected, what would you do to keep the 2,446,891 in Illinois who voted for Trump to continue to vote for Republicans and b) If selected, what would you do discourage promotion of the following: reparations, BLM, LGBTQ, dependency on government, dependency on charity, abortion, mass/illegal immigration, booze, gambling, pot, and other vices, more gun controls, patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination? – Dave Diersen

Democratic state legislators in New York and Illinois could draw Mr. Katko and Mr. Kinzinger into districts represented by fellow incumbent Republicans, potentially cutting off a path for a Trumpian insurgent, while commissions will determine district lines in California, Michigan and Ohio. Gene Koprowski, a conservative filmmaker who filed to run against Mr. Kinzinger, said he did so to start raising money but he is waiting for the Illinois legislature to redraw its congressional district maps before formally beginning a campaign.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: U.S. Rep. Brad Schneider, D-Deerfield, said in a statement after filing the bill the riots in the U.S Capitol on Jan. 6 were from “domestic terror groups and extremists,” and fighting “white supremacy” isn’t a Republican or Democratic issue. His bill would give federal law enforcement like the FBI more power “to monitor, investigate, and prosecute cases of domestic terrorism.”)

CHICAGO METROPOLITAN AGENCY FOR PLANNING
— Illinois sees second-largest population loss of U.S. states
https://www.politico.com/f/?id=00000177-26d3-d167-a57f-27f3b3fc0000&nname=illinois-playbook&nid=00000150-1596-d4ac-a1d4-179e288b0000&nrid=00000150-705d-d7de-afdb-7d7f3ea90001&nlid=639163
(FROM POLITICO: DuPage, Kane, Kendall, and Will counties are among only nine counties in Illinois that saw population growth since 2010. That means the vast majority of Illinois’ population losses have occurred outside of Cook County, the collar counties and Kendall County (which make up the CMAP region). Top destinations for residents leaving Illinois include neighboring states (Indiana and Wisconsin) and high-population states (California, Florida and Texas). The Chicago region’s growth rate is slower than other major metro areas. Compared to the 50 largest metropolitan areas in the U.S., the Chicago region ranked 46th in growth rate since 2010.)

https://www.foxnews.com/transcript/ryun-americans-arent-even-an-afterthought-to-biden-administration
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A Member of Congress by the name of Brad Schneider lashed out at us and accused us of supporting death and killing for raising those questions. We asked him to come on the show tonight, of course he didn’t because he’s afraid. But we thought deeply about what he said we’ll respond to it after the break. . .We told you about this last night and we mentioned specifically a Member of Congress from Illinois, a character called Brad Schneider. Schneider says he’d like to pass something called the Domestic Terrorism Prevention Act. Apparently, Brad Schneider was watching last night. As you hear his reply, ask yourself: is this the guy you want in charge of preventing domestic terrorism? Here’s how he responded, quote: “Do I want to see increased monitoring of the types of violent extremist domestic terrorists that attacked the Capitol leaving five people dead, including a police officer? Absolutely. The real question is why Tucker Carlson is okay with their deaths?” Right. So if you have questions about handing Brad Schneider, whoever that guy is, the keys to your country, voiding the Bill of Rights because Brad Schneider demands that you do after the insurrection on January 6th, then you’re killing police officers. You want people to die and maybe you need your civil liberties taken away. We’ll see. Now if this all sounds familiar, it is because every time something horrible happens, creepy little demagogues like Brad Schneider rush to the microphone and tell you, I’m sorry, you can’t be free anymore. It happened after 9/11. 9/11? What does it have to do with January 6th? It seems like kind of an odd comparison. In fact, so disproportionate it’s laughable and offensive to the 3,000 people who died on 9/11. But Members of Congress are invoking anyway, by the way, from both parties. In the same briefing where Brad Schneider gave his stupid and scary opinions, another Member of Congress, a former F.B.I. agent called Brian Fitzpatrick said we must adopt the same attitude toward domestic terrorism that we had toward al Qaeda after 9/11.)

CREATORS SYNDICATE
— The Conservative Path Forward in the Biden-Harris Era – Josh Hammer
(DIERSEN: Who are the conservative leaders in Illinois, in your county, in your township, and in your municipality? How often do they write articles or draw your attention to articles that promote the traditional family, right to life, immigration, illegal drugs, Second Amendment, and/or equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) planks in the Republican Party platform? How often do they write articles or draw your attention to articles that oppose the promotion of dependency on government, dependency on charity, LGBTQ, abortion, mass/illegal immigration, booze, gambling, pot, and other vices, abolition of the First and Second Amendments, patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and/or age discrimination?)
https://www.creators.com/read/josh-hammer/01/21/the-conservative-path-forward-in-the-biden-harris-era
(FROM THE ARTICLE: It is thus incumbent upon well-positioned bastions of conservative legal clout, centered around Texas’s Office of the Solicitor General, to aggressively litigate and seek recourse in the courts. . .Next, conservatives must do the hard work of actually building up the digital and corporate infrastructure to push back in earnest against Big Tech, “woke” capital and the broader “cancel culture” threat to the American way of life. . .Finally, exiled conservatives must continue to build a constructive, substantive conservative agenda that is politically appealing and can actually win at the ballot box. We know the path forward: an unassertive defense of traditional American bourgeois values; opposition to the excesses of neo-Marxist “woke”-ism; a political economics that is unafraid to use government to channel productive market activity and support those in true need; unapologetic moral prioritization of the rule of law; temperance in foreign policy; and sobriety about the limits of immigration assimilation. That is a winning political platform.)
