POLITICO ILLINOIS
— The Illinois GOP has never been a fundraising juggernaut, and yet the first quarter numbers were still pretty bleak. For the first quarter, Illinois GOP reported receiving a little more than $115,000 in donations, leaving $74,374 in the bank after expenses, according to the State Board of Elections. Still, they’re worthy of an asterisk this time after a defeat at the top of the ticket and their new state leader has only been on the job since February. That left the Illinois GOP little time to define the party to potential donors. Is it the party of Donald Trump, for example? Or does it represent Rep. Adam Kinzinger? And what is the vision of party Chairman Don Tracy? The next quarter will be the real test of whether Tracy can galvanize support for his party. Another big question: Will billionaire Ken Griffin step in to help the way he did in the general election by funding opposition forces to the Democrats’ graduated income tax referendum? So far he and other donors have been missing from fundraising. The Democratic Party of Illinois, meanwhile, received about $2 million, leaving it with $2.6 million cash on hand. And Democratic Gov. J.B. Pritzker reports having $35 million in the bank, thanks to his self-funding. House Minority Leader Jim Durkin raised $125,000 in the first quarter and had about $267,00 on hand after expenses. His House Republican Organization, which funds GOP reps’ campaigns, raised $111,000, leaving a mere $200 in the bank after expenses. And Senate Minority Leader Dan McConchie raised $68,000 and has $432,000 cash on hand. His caucus committee raised $206,000 and has $209,000 in the bank. He’s new to the job, so it’s worth adding an asterisk there, too. Democratic Party leaders, who hold the majority, raked in the cash — even with their big fundraiser, former House Speaker Michael Madigan, out of the picture halfway through the quarter. New House Speaker Emanuel “Chris” Welch raised $1.2 million, with the Chicago Teachers Union making the largest donation: $59,900. Welch also contributed to local campaigns, leaving him $1.2 million cash on hand. And Senate President Don Harmon reported raising $402,000 and has nearly $6 million in the bank after spending $1.2 million primarily on the Senate Democrats’ caucus. – SHIA KAPOS

AMERICAN THINKER
— How Generations of Presidents (Including Reagan) Wrecked Our Country – Michael Filozof
https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2021/04/how_generations_of_presidents_including_reagan_wrecked_our_country.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Caldwell argues that the new “de facto constitution” has been used to supersede the Bill of Rights and the black-letter law of the traditional Constitution. Forced busing and forced integration violated the First Amendment right to freedom of association, as did affirmative action for blacks and women. Racial and sex-based preferences offend the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. These policies were enacted despite opposition from most Americans. . .Caldwell believes that the upshot of Reagan’s failure to undo the Great Society was the empowerment of minorities, women, immigrants, and wealthy globalist corporate elites (who turned out the be “woke” leftists in contrast with the conservative, buttoned-down corporate culture of the past). The losers were the white, working-class, traditional Americans who still believed in the old Constitution while under relentless wage pressure from immigration, affirmative action, and the offshoring of jobs — and were relentlessly mocked and sneered at by the media, politicians, and corporate oligarchs.)

FILLMORE COUNTY JOURNAL
— Tribal America – Stan Gudmundson, Peterson, MN
http://fillmorecountyjournal.com/tribal-america/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Obviously, there was much that needed correction. We tried to, with all sorts of schemes to include reverse discrimination, through programs like affirmative action, i.e., “black privilege.” But what dead people did to other dead people could not and cannot be fixed by discriminating against living innocents. Individual freedom should not have been sacrificed for tribal collectivism. I once toyed with the idea of becoming an FBI agent but I was advised not to apply. I was the wrong color and gender. The problem with the group rights “solutions” is that there is no fair way to determine who is entitled to what. Moreover, that approach transmutes constitutional guarantees of individual liberty into mere tribalism. It created, and still creates the impetus to further divide and subdivide us into more individual gangs, a consequence not clearly foreseen at the time. We are now split into many more tribes who now even have legally defined special rights. Gender, sexual preference, racial minorities to include black, Hispanic, Indian, illegal immigrants and on and on. Standing is based on power, therefore tribes must compete for attention, favors, resources, and legal status. That promotes unease and even provokes fear and hate of other gangs who are not part of the tribe. It also created a race-baiting industry whose advocates cannot allow racial problems to be solved. They would have to find other employment. The smallest minority is the individual. Our founders understood that and established a constitution based on individual liberty. When individual rights are protected, group rights are protected. A system based on group rights, rather than individual rights, completely obliterates the nature and character of America and the constitution our system is based on. That is why, despite the racial problems we had, group rights collectivization has been and is so dangerous. In the long run, giving tribes/gangs/mobs/hordes/packs legal group rights was never justified. The long-term damage and problems caused by wrecking the constitution, by far outweigh the civil rights issues of those days, despite being as bad as they might have been. Again, the imperative of individual liberty should never have been abandoned. Unless we eliminate the tribal system and unless we return to the system of individual constitutional liberty, the divide in America will become worse. Unfortunately, we will not get rid of tribalism and society/politics will become still nastier. Count on it.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Can elected public officials discriminate from among the reporters who cover their activities based on who they like and don’t like? Obviously not, according to legal interpretations of the media’s First Amendment rights. More narrowly, can public officials pick and choose among news outlets, allowing some to cover their events while barring others? A federal appeals court in Chicago just answered the latter question in the affirmative. But it qualified its decision by asserting that the official picking and choosing must be based on neutral factors applied across the board.)

Of course, the Democrats who have invaded DuPage County and Milton Township want the DuPage County Republican Central Committee and the Milton Township Republican Organization to issue proclamations that all Republican candidates, party leaders, precinct committeemen, major donors, etc. must be at least one, two, three, or more of the following: Trump-hater, minority, female, younger, moderate, liberal, LGBTQ, non-married, poor, non-Christian, non-Protestant, non-Italian American, non-German American, and/or their ancestors have not been in America for a long time.)
https://townhall.com/columnists/ericrozenman/2021/04/18/to-break-a-nation-try-saturation-massmarketing-n2588056
(FROM THE ARTICLE: To break a nation, one doesn’t need invading armies, nuclear missiles or even a cyber warfare attack that fries the electrical grid. An incessant marketing campaign will do. Rebranding the United States as “racist”—allegedly systemic, structural or some other impossible-to-pin-down modifier—advances a false narrative. The objective is to demoralize proud Americans. Historically, radicals have used self-justifying promotional techniques to seize power. Nazis rode their “stab-in-the-back” conspiracy explanation of Germany’s World War I defeat from obscurity to total control in just a few years. In the name of “the people,” a small Bolshevik party pursued elastically defined “class enemies”; success allowed them to impose Soviet tyranny. Now a defuse movement, incubated on campuses for decades, grabs for power in the United States. Conjoined triplets—academia, Hollywood and partisan journalism—operate as a de facto “Ministry of Truth.” Apart from dissident conservative outlets, the movement to convict America as intrinsically racist has obtained what psychological warfare practitioners call “information dominance.”)

That money also enabled me to buy a new 1972 Corvette in October 1971 and to pay tuition and books for graduate business courses at Loyola starting in January 1972. I had graduated debt-free from NIU August 1970 owning a 1969 Dodge Charger SE.

During my junior and senior years and the summer in between, I washed dishes for the minimum wage in the basement of the S.S. Kresges in Chicago Heights.

— Instead of rental vouchers, give people a shot at owning a home – MIKE LOFTIN (DIERSEN: Where did your down payment come from? I bought a new town home in University Park September 1972 when I was 24 years old. The down payment came from what I had earned a) working for the Firestone Store in Chicago Heights full-time August 1970-March 1971 and part-time since March 1971 and b) working for IRS in Chicago and then in Harvey since June 1971. That money also enabled me to buy a new 1972 Corvette in October 1971 and to pay tuition and books for graduate business courses at Loyola starting in January 1972. I had graduated debt-free from NIU August 1970 owning a 1969 Dodge Charger SE. The money for tuition, books, and room and board came from what I earned delivering mail for the Park Forest Post Office November 1966-September 1969.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Back when the Chicago Tribune was firmly ensconced in the Tribune Tower, one of my editors had a picture in his office, a picture of the newsroom decades earlier, a black-and-white view of a bustling place, hands blurry from typing, papers strewed across desks and the floor. The first time I saw it, the editor asked me, a faint smile on his face, if I noticed anything missing. “There are no women or Black people,” I said. He nodded. I think of that picture when newspaper folks wax nostalgic, when they deride the newsrooms of the 2020s, short on money and on staff. I think about that picture when readers complain about what we used to cover, what their newspapers used to contain.)

— COVID Hysteria Claims Another Victim – The DuPage County Fair – Mark Glennon
https://wirepoints.org/covid-hysteria-marches-on-to-claim-another-victim-the-dupage-county-fair-wirepoints/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: You’d think she’d be embarrassed to admit to such a thing, but that’s what she told the New York Times when asked about all the prior thought and research she and her husband, Bill Gates, had put into developing their supposed expertise on pandemics. She might as well have been speaking on behalf of a large portion of the experts and politicians in charge of America’s COVID-19 response. They’ve been blind to the need to balance the direct risk of the virus, however small that risk may be in some circumstances, against the economic and indirect but enormous health effects of shutdowns. That blindness continues today. The most recent example is cancellation of the DuPage County Fair. As reported by ABC Chicago, fair officials said Governor J.B. Pritzker’s decision to delay the Bridge Phase of reopening led to the decision. It’s almost entirely an outdoor event. If there’s any empirical evidence that COVID presents a material risk in outdoor events like that, I haven’t found it. To the contrary, experts are now speaking up to say that outdoor activity is generally safe – “whether there are 10 COVID cases a day or 10,000 — even with variants of concern,” according to three experts writing in the Toronto Star. You can’t find empirical evidence showing a material risk because finding any solid examples out outdoor transmission is hard. “In reviewing the literature, very few cases of true outdoor transmission are noted, and many are associated with activity that includes a mix of both indoor and outdoor elements, like camps, barbecues and concerts,” they wrote. “These events represent a sliver of the overall cases, which are overwhelmingly acquired indoors.” “What we need to be thinking about at this point is harm reduction, not harm elimination,” said another infectious disease expert. If lower-risk outdoor socializing replaces higher-risk indoor gatherings, that’s a win-win. “People think any risk is something we don’t need to [take on]…. But those discussions detract from the harm-reduction part of the outdoors,” he said. County fairs can be a big deal for many people, especially farm families and the agriculture industry, though DuPage’s fair has included much more than agriculture in recent years. The DuPage County Fair has been a local tradition for over 180 years and is a source of livelihood for many people and businesses, officials there told ABC Chicago. But that apparently counts for nothing in the face of even the tiniest COVID risk. And the DuPage Fair wasn’t even scheduled to start until July 21! By that time, everybody who wants a vaccine almost certainly will have been able to get one, and over half of everybody else will have a high degree of natural immunity from prior infections. President Joe Biden announced a July 4 goal last month for getting the nation back to normal. That’s apparently proceeding ahead of schedule because he recently bumped up the target date for making all adults eligible for vaccination by two weeks to April 19. And DuPage County is doing particularly well on vaccinations, having the highest portion of its population vaccinated in the Chicago area. But they’ve cancelled the fair anyway.)

POLITICO ILLINOIS
— Sen. Tammy Duckworth raised $3.7 million in the first three months of the year, no doubt a result of her national exposure as a candidate for vice president, military veteran, and foil to former President Donald Trump. The first-term Democrat who last month announced her bid for re-election in 2022 has $1.8 million cash on hand. More than 9,000 Illinoisans contributed to her campaign, and 97 percent of all individual contributions came in under $100, according to her campaign. Duckworth’s fundraising haul suggests she’s getting ready for a fierce challenge or just trying to scare off potential Republican candidates. So far, no one from the GOP has stepped up. . .And GOP Rep. Adam Kinzinger has raised $1.1 million for his Country First PAC, which was founded in February to defend Republicans who voted for Donald Trump’s second impeachment and to counter the former president’s influence over the party. Kinzinger was one of the 10 Republicans who voted for impeachment. His name also comes up as a potential contender to Duckworth. On the pro-Trump side, Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene has raised $3.2 million since the start of the year, according to POLITICO Huddle. – SHIA KAPOS (DIERSEN: The more hatred that you promote against Trump, the more money that hate-filled Trump-hating Trump-haters will give you.)

WASHINGTON POST
— Biden’s plea for masks will fail. Blame political polarization. Our study found that politics, not public health, determined whether people wore masks last year. – Maria Milosh, Marcus Painter, Konstantin Sonin, David Van Dijcke and Austin L. Wright (DIERSEN: Ever-increasingly, hate-filled Trump-hating Trump-haters will blame COVID-19 on those who voted for Trump, and especially those who voted for Trump and are law enforcement officers, conservative, patriotic, Republican, White, male, older, heterosexual, married, non-poor, gun owners, Christian, Protestant, Italian American, German American, and/or those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time.)
https://www.washingtonpost.com/outlook/2021/04/13/masks-mandate-partisanship-politics/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Study after study has documented that masks can effectively diminish the spread of covid-19, the disease caused by the virus. Yet President Biden’s recent plea for people to wear masks — at least until the ongoing vaccination drive results in herd immunity — is likely to be ignored by many Americans, thanks to the nation’s extreme political polarization. Our research found that the single most important predictor of local mask use last year in the United States was not covid-19 severity. Nor was it demographic characteristics, religious affiliation or social capital, or even local policies such as mask mandates. No — the strongest and most consistent local factor influencing mask use was what percentage of people in an area voted for Donald Trump in 2016. In areas where mostly Democrats reside, people tended to be likelier to wear masks. But the more people in an area who voted for Trump in 2016, the less likely it was that residents there would wear masks. And while mandates significantly increase mask use in communities that vote heavily Democratic, they have little additional effect in moderate or Republican places. Mask use — or mask refusal — has become a symbol of a struggle between individual autonomy and social responsibility. Wearing or not wearing a mask becomes a cheap and effective way to demonstrate your political attitude.)

TOWNHALL
— Who Watches the Media Watchdogs? – Horace Cooper (DIERSEN: GAO Is the most important government watchdog. I worked for GAO for almost 18 years, the last 11 years of which at the GS-13 Step 1-10 Levels, currently $102,188-$132,645/year. I should write a book about those who have demonized, denigrated, and condemned my GAO employment the most. I would focus on those who paint themselves as being religious, conservative, and/or Republican. 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/or Illinois. I would focus on those who promote dependency on government, dependency on charity, BLM, LGBTQ, abortion, mass/illegal immigration, booze, gambling, pot, and other vices, abolition of the First and Second Amendments, patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, religious discrimination, and/or national origin discrimination.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Whether or not the High Court chooses to engage, there is a real question of how democracy thrives in a media environment where leftists in the media make scurrilous claims about conservatives and the same media simply ignores legitimate charges against their progressive allies. Our founders assumed that the media would take its role as watchdog seriously, not become a cheerleader for one side over the other. Can a constitutional protection endure when it only protects one side of the debate?)

I would focus on those who have lots of religious, government, political, and/or financial clout in Illinois, DuPage County, DuPage County’s 4th District, Milton Township, Wheaton, and/or Wheaton’s West District.)
