— A lesson in contrasts: How the GOP purged its leader amid corruption allegations – Editorial
https://www.chicagotribune.com/opinion/editorials/ct-edit-corruption-madigan-comed-lee-daniels-20200807-3q6u23z34ncvrii6mlctw2ydwy-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: In June 2002, then-Illinois Republican Party Chairman Lee Daniels abruptly announced his resignation from that party post as pressure mounted, including from the GOP state attorney general, to remove unwanted “distractions” in an election year. Daniels and his chief of staff had fallen under the radar of federal prosecutors who were investigating whether GOP staff members did campaign work on state time. “The party deserves to serve its purpose without unwarranted distractions,” Daniels, who as House minority leader was House Speaker Michael Madigan’s counterpart, said in announcing he would step down as party chair. “For that reason, it is best that I refocus my energy and encourage others to refocus theirs.” Not long after, the House Republican caucus voted 33-18 to install a new House leader, Rep. Tom Cross, after Daniels lost support among his colleagues in that role too. Daniels had not been charged and was only peripherally linked to a time sheet scandal, but the whiff of a federal corruption probe pushed his members to force him out of leadership. Three years later, Daniels’ chief of staff, Michael Tristano, formally was indicted and later pleaded guilty to a fraud charge as part of a probe into state workers’ diverting taxpayer resources to campaigns. Tristano also was accused of working out a deal with a real estate group to put a Republican candidate on its payroll. In exchange, the real estate group’s project received more than $1 million in state funds, prosecutors said. Other statehouse insiders, including Madigan, then-Treasurer Judy Baar Topinka and Senate President Emil Jones, also had been asked to turn over records as part of a state-resources-to-campaigns scandal. Shortly after Tristano’s indictment in 2005, Daniels announced he would retire from his remaining position as a state representative. Daniels was not implicated in Tristano’s indictment, and he was never charged with wrongdoing. But he left anyway. A top GOP party and policy leader in the state who once held three positions of power was gone, pushed out by his own members and a nudge from the previous GOP attorney general, Jim Ryan, who had forwarded corruption allegations to federal investigators. Under the lens of compare and contrast, then and now, one takeaway is this state’s breathtaking tolerance for corruption. It has settled into the system of governance and politics as its own permanent institution. Corruption is an expected byproduct of serving in public office, like wind makes waves.)

— Two committee chairmen sent Kane County Board Chairman Chris Lauzen a letter ordering him to back off from trying to direct day-to-day operations of county departments or department heads. – BRENDA SCHORY
https://www.kcchronicle.com/2020/08/06/county-board-members-tell-lauzen-to-back-off-from-supervising-county-employees/atc6fn5/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: ‘I don’t work for them’ Lauzen said he works six days a week while county board members come in six to eight times per month – so how could they possibly know what is happening day-to-day in the county? “Being County Board Chairman is so much more than cutting ribbons and running meetings,” Lauzen said. “I have weekly manager meetings with all department directors to help those managers – not only to help them in their areas, but also to share information in what is happening and how we can work together.” Lauzen criticized the letter as harsh. “They are going about this in a crude way,” Lauzen said, of Hoscheit and Martin. “I don’t work for them. I work for 532,000 people (of Kane County) and they expect proper behavior.” Lauzen recounted his expertise, being a Harvard MBA, an Illinois CPA, who spent 20 years in the Illinois Senate and who built a multi-million accounting practice in five years. “What you need is somebody like that to produce results to give board members these easy votes,” Lauzen said. “They want to diminish that.”)

https://newschannel20.com/news/local/new-ordinance-aims-to-add-respect-in-city-council
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The amended rules allow for the council to punish a fellow alderman with a verbal reprimand or a censure if they deem it necessary. A censure is basically a formal time-out. “Well obviously, Alderman McMenamin made some comments that were taken offensive and he apologized for that, but that is probably what warranted this ordinance to come forth,” Ward 1 Alderman Chuck Redpath said. Redpath thinks this ordinance is worded in a way that will help the council discussions and does not impact free speech or feed the cancel culture. “I think the message is clear that we need to treat the council meetings in a professional integrity manner and I think that you will see that in the future,” Redpath said.)

LEXOLOGY
— Journalism and copyright: what is protected by copyright law in Greece? (DIERSEN: What do you say to my critics/opponents who viciously demonize, viciously denigrate, and viciously condemn my GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails as lacking “original work?” I should write a book about my critics/opponents. They do everything that they can to make work done by others look like it was done by them. They should do what I do, namely, a) highlight the sources of articles, b) highlight the titles of articles, c) highlight the authors of articles, and d) provide the unhidden hyperlinks of articles. It is called full attribution.)
https://www.lexology.com/library/detail.aspx?g=ee0b6ef6-8200-4e98-98ad-f242789959ad

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Greek jurisprudence and legal theory set out that a work is ‘original’ if it has an element of ‘personal intellectual creation’ and reflects the author’s personality. More specifically, a work is an original expression of an individual’s mind when it contains an element of personal contribution and individuality. Another criterion applied by the Greek courts is statistical uniqueness, according to which a work is original when no other author could have created the same work under the same circumstances. According to Article 2(5) of the Copyright Law, copyright protection does not extend to news information or simple facts and data. As such, mere facts and information on current affairs fall outside the scope of protection if they are limited to the reporting of events and contain no element of personal contribution (eg, evaluation, criticism or interpretation). To constitute an original work of intellectual property and thus be protectable under the Copyright Law, a journalistic work must therefore contain an element of individuality and personal contribution, particularly with regard to the selection, composition, elaboration and adaptation of its content.)

I stress that nothing has stopped me from putting together and sending out a GOPUSA ILLINOIS email a) each and every morning since 2004 and b) each and every evening too since 2015. Those emails have included links to more than 375,200 articles and information on many upcoming events.)
https://www.wbez.org/stories/wanted-young-people-to-work-the-polls-this-november/34b76fd0-0bff-4671-8131-6df2952b5f19
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Most poll workers are over 60 Weiss’ group is just one effort to find new poll workers for the general election. In an unusual partnership, entities including Comedy Central, the Fair Elections Center, Patagonia, Uber and Levi Strauss & Co. are recruiting poll workers. “It really does speak to the level of concern that all of these folks who normally aren’t on the same side of things see the need to come together and solve this big problem,” says Scott Duncombe, who’s heading a new initiative called Power the Polls. Through digital marketing, Power the Polls aims to recruit 250,000 new poll workers on behalf of its partner organizations, most of which fall under Civic Alliance, a nonpartisan coalition of businesses. Civic Alliance is encouraging its members to provide paid time off for employees who elect to staff poll locations. According to the U.S. Election Assistance Commission, 58% of poll workers in the 2018 general election were over 60, an age that is linked to a higher risk for complications with COVID-19. A shortage of election workers plagued some early primary states, and election experts fear a massive shortage for the general election. “We’re talking about enormous numbers of poll workers who are not going to feel comfortable, and already have shown it in the primary, being in the polling places in the midst of a pandemic when they have concerns about their health,” says Bob Brandon, president of the Fair Elections Center. Brandon says even in normal times, convincing people to sign up to staff the polls can be challenging. It’s usually a 12-hour-plus day, with minimal pay and a fair amount of stress. Add in all the health concerns a pandemic brings, and it’s even harder to attract new workers. And although voting by mail is expected to increase dramatically this fall, Brandon says robust, in-person voting remains essential. “If you have a disability that requires you to be on an accessible machine to vote, you need to be there in person,” he says. “If you’re in a community that has terrible mail service, which many poor communities complain of, that’s an important need. Many people in the African American community have a distrust of anything different than taking a ballot and putting it into a machine, because of the history of voter suppression that they’ve encountered.” Brandon adds, “We can’t allow the lack of poll workers to mean there’ll be a lack of opportunities for people to vote in person, which will only lead to longer lines and other problems that ultimately mean fewer people vote.”)

In my defense, notwithstanding the fact that I am conservative, Republican, Missouri Synod Lutheran, 100% German American, draft avoider, White, male, union member 1966-1969 and 1971-1980, Crete resident 1948-1972, Wheaton resident since 1978, and my ancestors have been in America since 1844, a) my Democrat IRS superiors promoted me to GS-9 (currently $58,672/year) in 1972, to GS-11 (currently $70,987/year) in 1973, and to GS-12 (currently $85,084/year) in 1974, b) my Democrat GAO superiors promoted me to GS-13 (currently $101,176/year) in 1986, and c) my Democrat GAO superiors paid me at the GS-13 Step 10 level (currently $131,532/year) in 1997.)

— DISGUSTING, OUTRAGEOUS: Degree requirements are on the way out for federal jobs – Jessie Bur (DIERSEN: Democrats run the federal government. In 1971, when I was 22 year old, the Democrats who ran IRS would not have hired me if I had not had earned a job-related bachelor’s degree (in management) in 1970. In 1972, 1973, and 1974, the Democrats who ran IRS would not have promoted me if I had not been taking job-related (business) graduate courses. In 1980, the Democrats who ran GAO would not have hired me if I had not earned a job-related master’s degree (in business) in 1976, passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, and almost completed the requirements for my second job-related (in accounting) master’s degree. In 1986, the Democrats who ran GAO would not have promoted me if I had not completed the requirements for my a second job-related (accounting) master’s degree in 1980, passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981, and became a licensed CPA in 1981. The Democrats who ran GAO would have succeeded in forcing me to take their early retirement “offer” sooner than they did if I had not become a Certified Fraud Examiner in 1990, a Certified Government Financial Manager in 1994, a Certified Financial Services Auditor in 1996, and a Forensic Accountant in 1990 and if I had not completed the requirements for my third job-related (finance) master’s degree in 1997.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: The resolution calls for several remedies. Among them, changing the second Monday in October from Columbus Day to Indigenous Peoples Day; including Juneteenth on district calendars as a holiday; seeking out other groups represented in the community to ensure other important cultural holidays are noted on district calendars; developing curriculum and policies that are racially and culturally relevant; considering offering College African-American History as a general education course rather than an elective; examining art and imagery in district buildings and removing any that is deemed offensive; additional training for employees; aggressive recruitment of teachers and staff that reflect the racial makeup of the student body and community. Additionally, the board directed the superintendent to prepare an annual report on the academic achievement and discipline of minority students as a group, including educational outcomes, while protecting privacy rights, a report on successes inside and outside the classroom, and to track complaints of racial bias from employees, students and parents, including the resolutions. The discipline policies will be reviewed and updated with input from students and school resource officers and that will accompany the annual review of the contract with the school resource officers as the board considers their role.)

ELMHURST PATCH
— DuPage Officials Get Facts Wrong In Heated Debate Over Raises The sheriff cited attacks at Oak Brook mall, but there were none. A board member said she had heard of no looting, despite media reports. – David Giuliani
https://patch.com/illinois/elmhurst/dupage-officials-get-facts-wrong-heated-debate-over-raises
(FROM THE ARTICLE: During a heated June 9 finance committee meeting, DuPage County board member Ashley Selmon, D-Addison, accused Sheriff James Mendrick, a Republican, of “irresponsible rhetoric” about “looting and sledgehammers” that led Elmhurst and Addison to board up businesses amid a wave of Black Lives Matter protests across the county and around the country. Mendrick took exception, saying the sledgehammers and looting were facts, not rhetoric. “It’s an insult that you say that there were just peaceful demonstrations,” he told Selmon. “I am sorry, but they were not. We were being attacked at Oak Brook Mall. That’s just a fact. I was there. My staff was there. Don’t belittle what we just did for this county.” The exchange happened during a debate about “equity” raises — possibly as high as $25,000 — for sheriff’s department employees, and Patch found that neither Selmon nor Mendrick was entirely correct. According to police reports, there was no attack on officers or anybody else at Oak Brook Center mall on May 31 or in the days following, only minor property damage. According to Oak Brook police, a brick was thrown at a Neiman Marcus store window around 11 a.m. that day, causing a dozen punctures to the glass. A witness saw six men involved in the incident, but they sped away, according to police. In one case, police did report seeing a sledgehammer in plain view in a car’s back seat, according to a sheriff’s department after-action report. According to the report, officers tried to stop a number of cars at the mall that night, with some passengers mocking or swearing at officers and others fleeing from police. In an interview, sheriff’s department spokesman Justin Kmitch said when the sheriff mentioned “attacks,” he was referring to a number of instances in the days leading up to the committee meeting. “There were no physical assaults of officers at Oak Brook,” Kmitch said. “Protecting the mall was everyone’s priority out there.” He noted the sheriff set up a command center at the mall, which he called the “crown jewel of the DuPage County economy.” At the committee meeting, Selmon said she and other county board members had received regular reports of the protests around DuPage County from the county’s homeland security department. “Unless I’m illiterate, we did not get a single report of anything categorized as looting in this county,” she said. While she may not have received a report, it’s also inaccurate to say there were no cases of looting in the county. About a week before the meeting, more than 30 stores were looted and 11 people arrested in Naperville, according to police and media reports. The looting started around 9 p.m., following a peaceful Black Lives Matter demonstration that had been held earlier in the day, according to Naperville Police Chief Robert Marshall. The sheriff’s department report on the incident said “large explosive devices” were thrown at police officers, and at least one bystander was stabbed while trying to help police, according to Marshall. About the same time, stores in Downers Grove and Aurora were also looted, according to media reports. According to the sheriff’s after-action report, officers in a number of instances also found people with weapons near protests. In Roselle, for instance, a car stopped near a demonstration contained two rifles, six handguns, body armor and more than 1,000 rounds of ammunition, the report said. And in Elmhurst, police took into custody a man who was seen arriving at a June 1 protest with a rifle, bag, helmet and body armor, according to police. In an email, Selmon said that after the June 9 committee meeting, she and others were able to get more complete information both from the state’s attorney and the sheriff’s office. “As I said, the Homeland Security reports did not indicate those events, but the further information we received did elaborate and confirm a more complete picture, including some incidents of looting/theft/burglary, as was seen in other communities and nationally,” Selmon said. “Similarly, the events were, and thankfully continue to be, overwhelmingly peaceful.” The county board approved the raises for the sheriff’s department employees. Selmon and fellow Democrat Liz Chaplin, whose district includes Elmhurst, dissented.)

— Who Is Black Lives Matter? – Jerry Dunleavy
https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/who-is-black-lives-matter
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Fact is, “black lives matter” is a matter of common decency entirely separate from the activist, ideological, left-wing agenda of the BLM group. That organization has stated aims that go far beyond addressing police brutality. Its goals include, without apology, the upending of American society. Yet it has gained massively more attention, support, and money since the death of George Floyd, an unarmed black man, in Minneapolis police custody. It is therefore important that the public, much of which thinks that by supporting BLM, they are backing obviously decent and humane reforms, knows enough to make the distinction between the idea and the ideologues hijacking it. The co-founders of Black Lives Matter are avowed Marxists. At least one names a convicted cop killer among her heroes. A key mentor in building and shaping the group is a two-time vice presidential candidate for the Communist Party USA. The national organization is financially supported through a leftist group whose board of directors includes a convicted terrorist. A 2017 report from Black Lives Matter describes its founders, Alicia Garza, Patrisse Khan-Cullors, and Opal Tometi, as “three radical Black organizers.” The women espouse Marxism and openly push radical identity politics.)

ABC7
— Chicago students march for policy change in schools, universities
https://abc7chicago.com/students-strike-back-march-for-policy-change/6348398/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Students from across Chicago took to the streets demanding the removal of police from schools and universities. Thousands gathered in downtown Chicago near State Street and Jackson Boulevard Saturday night, sometimes blocking entire intersections. The group, called “Students Strike Back,” is also calling for colleges and universities to refuse to cooperate with Immigration and Customs Enforcement. In early July, ICE announces students on visas must leave US or transfer to another college if their schools go online-only. It creates an urgent dilemma for thousands of international students who became stranded in the U.S. last spring after the coronavirus forced their schools to move online. Those attending schools that are staying online must “depart the country or take other measures, such as transferring to a school with in-person instruction,” according to the guidance. They also say they are marching for more medical and mental health resources in their communities.)

MILWAUKEE INDEPENDENT
— NOT A RADICAL IDEA: THE UNITED STATES HAS PREVIOUSLY PAID REPARATIONS FOR THE SINS OF ITS PAST (DIERSEN: How much reparations do your critics/opponents want you to pay and why? My critics/opponents want me to pay lots of reparations because I am conservative, Republican, White, male, old (born in 1948), non-poor, heterosexual, married, childless, 100% German American, baptized, raised, and confirmed as a Missouri Synod Lutheran, draft avoider, gun owner, lived in Crete 1948-1972, lived in Wheaton since 1978, and my ancestors have been in America since 1844. I should write a book about those who have focused on making me pay reparations, that is, making me pay the price of Affirmative Action (AA), Diversity, and Inclusion, that is, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination. I would focus on Democrat and RINO elected officials and party leaders and my Democrat superiors in the federal government. In my defense, I have already paid lots of reparations. AA, Diversity, Inclusion, up-or-out, that is, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination are reparations. Democrats and RINOs use AA, Diversity, Inclusion, up-or-out, that is, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination, to get rid of Republicans. My Democrat superiors in the federal government would/should say that they took adverse actions against me to make me pay reparations. My Democrat GAO superiors would/should stress that they forced me to retire in 1997 when I was 49 years old, gave me unfair performance expectations and appraisals, always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes, did not promote me beyond GS-13, got rid of my mentor in 1987, kept me off audits of IRS for all but 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for GAO, and forced me to take a $20,157 (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980. My Democrat IRS superiors would/should stress that they did not promote me beyond GS-12, disallowed my education deductions in 1978, got rid of my mentor in 1975, and disallowed my partial day per diem claims in 1974. My Democrat Post Office superiors would/should stress that they forced me resign in 1969 and disallowed my sick leave requests in 1969 and 1968. My aforesaid Democrat superiors would/should stress that the aforesaid adverse actions that they took against me directly benefited their employees who were Black.)

Of the 31 members of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee’s (DCCC) Red to Blue program, 26 are women and 12 are people of color. Earning a spot provides candidates with a boost, including extra attention from national Democrats and access to expanded resources and fundraising opportunities. Wins by the recruits would add to what is already the most diverse House majority in history after Democrats took over the chamber in 2018 with a class that included Rep.

Trump’s words are dangerous, and society must find ways big and small to push back. – Kate Shaw (DIERSEN: What have your critics/opponents done to rein in your speech? I am no longer a TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois chairman. I am no longer a Wheaton Chamber of Commerce Government Affairs Committee member. I am no longer a Milton Township Republican Organization webmaster. I am no longer an Illinois Center Right Coalition Steering Committee member. I am no longer an American Association of Political Consultants Midwest Chapter board member. I should write a book about my critics/opponents who claim to be religious, conservative, and/or Republican. They work harder against me than they work against any Democrat. They talk and act like they are Democrat plants, Libertarian Plants, Green plants, or RINOs. They talk and act like they have been promised lots of money, a new home, a new car, a sweetheart job, a sweetheart contract, favorable legislation, and/or lots more if they succeed in getting rid of me.)

DAILY MAIL
— Dissenters live in fear and serious debate is silenced by the woke mob leading America’s cultural revolution – ANDREW ROBERTS (DIERSEN: I should write a book about those who silence those like me who they cannot manipulate/dominate. I would focus on present and past a) leaders of the Illinois Republican Party, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, Milton Township Republican Organization, Illinois, DuPage County, DuPage County’s 4th District, Milton Township, Wheaton, Wheaton’s West District, Wheaton Chamber of Commerce, TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois, Illinois Center Right Coalition, American Association of Political Consultants Midwest Chapter and b) Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct. I would focus on the aforesaid who hint/hinted, imply/implied, argue/argued, shout/shouted that I am a White supremacist, Nazi, KKK member, hater, racist, sexist, bigot, and even worse things who should be gotten rid of once and for all. Better yet, I should sue them.)
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/debate/article-8584963/ANDREW-ROBERTS-Dissenters-live-fear-debate-silenced-woke-mob.html

(FROM THE ARTICLE: It’s a response worthy of 1960s China and the groveling apologies forced upon the victims of Mao’s Cultural Revolution. But that would be appropriate, because a cultural revolution is exactly what is taking place in today’s America, where the woke mob has surrounded the citadels of democracy – newspapers, magazines, television stations and, of course, universities. Dissenters live in fear. Serious debate is all but silenced. A recent survey published by the respected Cato Institute reveals that 62 per cent of Americans say today’s political climate prevents them from saying things they believe because others might find their views offensive. Just think about that: an overwhelming majority of Americans – across all political persuasions –have political opinions that they are afraid to share. It is positively Orwellian. How long until the same thing happens here – if it has not already? Even liberals are afraid, with a majority – 52 per cent – feeling they have to self-censor before speaking or writing. The same applies to 64 per cent of people who consider themselves moderates, and 77 per cent of conservatives. These numbers are higher than they have ever been – representing a true threat to democracy. And even more worrying for those who value the future of openness and political diversity is the intolerance of the young, who are driving so much of this frightening new trend. Forty four per cent of Americans under 30 support firing company executives if it is discovered they privately donate their own money to President Trump. Fifty per cent of people who call themselves strong liberals support firing Trump donors from their jobs. This tide of aggression towards people who merely happen to hold opposing views cannot be written off as a blip, for it is clearly part of a wider trend that has engulfed other Western nations.)

— Charges Announced for 17 People After Rockford Protests Over Two Days – MATT KEELEY (DIERSEN: If there have been no Back the Blue rallies in your municipality, why is that? In your municipality, how strong/threatening are the BLMers and LGBTQers, that is, how strong/threatening are the Democrats in your municipality?)
https://www.newsweek.com/charges-announced-17-people-after-illinois-protests-over-two-days-1522193
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Police in Rockford, Illinois announced charges Saturday for 17 people arrested during protests over two straight days. On Friday, 11 protesters were arrested after a small protest blocking East State Street, according to WTVO. Then Saturday, an additional six protesters were arrested during a counterprotest at a “Back the Blue” rally in support of police. Rockford Police Chief Dan O’Shea, Winnebago County Sheriff Gary Caruana, and State’s Attorney Marilyn Hite Ross held a press conference Saturday afternoon announcing the charges. Six of the protesters were charged with mob action alone, while three more were charged with mob action and resisting arrest. Other charges included aggravated battery to a police officer, disorderly conduct, obstruction of police officers, damage to property and resisting a police officer. “The First Amendment is very clear. It does not give unbridled freedom to infringe on the rights of others,” Ross said. Former Democratic State Rep. Litesa Wallace shared a video in which she said she raised about $2,000 from her supporters to pay the bond for six of those arrested on Friday. “I am exhausted—which doesn’t say a lot because I didn’t do a lot today. I can only imagine how tired and exhausted the individuals who were arrested are. And I can only imagine how tired and exhausted people who are older than me are, who have been in this fight and wanting justice and equality for decades upon decades,” she said. . .The Friday protest was over the treatment of protesters during a May 30 demonstration in Rockford responding to the police-involved death of George Floyd in Minneapolis. Protesters alleged that the Rockford Police used excessive force. An internal investigation by police announced Wednesday that it had found no evidence of wrongdoing by the officers. About 20 protesters announced several demands on Friday, including that the city drop all charges against demonstrators involved in the May 30 protest, and that the police hire an outside investigator to determine whether excessive force was used.)

— Arrests made after protesters, police clash following ‘Back the Blue’ rally
https://www.wifr.com/2020/08/01/arrests-made-after-protesters-police-clash-after-back-the-blue-rally/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: At least 100 attendees of a pro-police rally in downtown Rockford were met by anti-police protesters Saturday morning. The groups Concerned Citizens for America of Northern Illinois and the Illinois Family Institute held the rally at the Winnebago County Justice Center, at 650 W. State Street in downtown Rockford. Rep. John Cabello (R-68th) and former Rep. Jim Sacia (R-89th) spoke at the rally which was held to “Support all men and women in law enforcement and the amazing, vital, and dangerous work they do to protect our communities and country from lawlessness and evil.” This comes following a protest on Friday evening, where nine protesters were taken into custody and later charged. However, former Illinois Rep. Litesa Wallace raised money to help bond out those arrested Friday night.)

https://employment.einnews.com/article_detail/523037205/8Hn9_brd4ZLerKXz
(FROM THE ARTICLE: There’s a new Jim Crow afoot in America. Once again, it’s coming from the Democrats, but this time, instead of pitting whites against blacks, it’s pitting blacks against whites. Beleaguered white people technically have the Civil Rights Act of 1964 at their back but, in the witch hunt atmosphere currently prevailing in America, it’s unclear whether they’ll have the courage to use it. The Civil Rights Act of 1964 doesn’t mince words. It exists to outlaw discrimination based upon a person’s race, color, religion, sex, or country of national origin. It explicitly expands these protections to employment programs. Under Title VII, “It shall be an unlawful employment practice for any employer, labor organization, or joint labor-management committee controlling apprenticeship or other training or retraining, including on-the-job training programs to discriminate against any individual because of his race, color, religion, sex, or national origin in admission to, or employment in, any program established to provide apprenticeship or other training. (42 U.S. Code §2000e-2(d).)” The City of Seattle has put a program in place for its 10,000 employees. There are special whites-only aspects of the program. In the “white only” portions of the program, whites must admit that they are racist (and, presumably, any refusal is more proof of racism), and then they must have that racism trained out of them. Christopher Rufo has obtained the materials for the segregated “whites only” training. Trying to summarize the material falls far short of showing the immensity of this Title VII violation, so I’ve embedded all of the tweets below.)
