— AS THE DEMOCRAT PARTY’S STRANGLEHOLD ON CHICAGO TIGHTENS: ‘I Can’t Believe We Survived,’ Uber Driver Says After He Was Attacked By Large Group Of Teens Downtown – Jermont Terry
https://chicago.cbslocal.com/2020/07/20/i-cant-believe-we-survived-uber-driver-says-after-he-was-attacked-by-large-group-of-teens-downtown/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: “I can’t believe we survived” – those are the words of a terrified Uber driver who was caught in the middle of hundreds of teens getting pushed through the downtown area by Chicago Police. As CBS 2’s Jermont Terry reported, the driver had to jump the curb and then go the wrong way down Washington Street on the sidewalk just to escape the group, which targeted him at a red light. On Monday night, the attack was raising bigger questions about what is being done to handle those rowdy teens on weekends. Standing on the corner of Wabash Avenue and Washington Street brings back horrible memories for the Uber driver. “I’m just scared, and it’s going to take a while to regain the trust of the city, I guess,” he said. The driver is fearful after his Kia ended up getting each and every window busted out – all by a group of teens who were getting ushered by police from Millennium Park on July 4th weekend. “I knew they were coming I said, ‘Oh f***, and so they came and jumped on the car and started dancing around on the hood,” he said. But the driver said some in the crowd turned violent and tried opening the doors. What happened next had the driver and his two passengers in disbelief. “And then they broke in the driver window, and that’s where I knew we were in big trouble, because they were trying to grab me, and I heard the back rear window shatter as well,” he said. A pitchfork crashed through the rear window, coming within inches of his Uber passengers. “Who knows what would have happened if they were able to pull us out of the vehicle? It seem like they wanted blood,” he said. “It’s terrifying just to think that there’s just basically a school a piranhas just roaming the streets of Chicago, and we don’t know where they’re going to show up.” CBS 2 first exposed how these groups of 300 to 400 have roamed the Loop and downtown for consecutive Saturdays. The CPD said it has tactical units ready to deal with the crowds. But with teens turning violent, many are concerned it will only get worse.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Several Republican leaders have condemned Gardner’s investigation, including President Donald Trump, Missouri Gov. Mike Parson and Sen. Josh Hawley, who has urged Attorney General William Barr to undertake a civil rights investigation of Gardner. Parson said in a radio interview Friday that he would likely pardon the couple if they were charged and convicted. Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt said in a statement Monday that he filed a brief requesting that the charges be dismissed under the state’s Castle Doctrine. “The right to keep and bear arms is given the highest level of protection in our constitution and our laws, including the Castle Doctrine,” Schmitt said in the statement. “This provides broad rights to Missourians who are protecting their property and lives from those who wish to do them harm.” Sen. Josh Hawley, R-MO, said on Twitter that the charges were an “unacceptable abuse of power and threat to the Second Amendment.” He called for a federal civil rights investigation into the St. Louis Circuit Attorney’s Office to “determine whether this investigation and impending prosecution violates this family’s constitutional rights.” Gardner said Trump, Parson and others are attacking her to distract from “their failed approach to the COVID-19 pandemic” and other issues.)

ABC7
— AS THE DEMOCRAT PARTY’S STRANGLEHOLD ON CHICAGO TIGHTENS: DISGUSTING, OUTRAGEOUS, RACIST: Chicago Columbus statue protest: Elected officials, activists condemn Chicago Police Department actions after Grant Park rally escalates, some hospitalized Protesters had initially gathered by Buckingham Fountain for a Black Lives Matter demonstration
https://abc7chicago.com/community-events/chicago-officials-activists-condemn-cpd-response-to-columbus-statue-protest/6323279/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Some members of the Chicago City Council commented on the protest on Twitter. Ald. Carlos Ramirez-Rosa said, “Black and Indigenous Chicagoans and people from all across the city came together to do what our so-called progressive mayor refused and failed to do.” Ald. Daniel La Spata said, “Chicago may be the only ‘liberal’ city willing to brutalize Black and brown youth to protect a symbol of white supremacy.” At 9 a.m., several aldermen and Illinois officials gathered to condemn CPD’s response to the protest. . .United Working Families members Alderman Carlos Rosa, Ald. Byron Sigcho Lopez, Cook County Commissioner Brandon Johnson, state Rep. Delia Ramirez, state Sen. Robert Peters, and Democratic Nominee Lakesia Collins planned to attend. Supportive elected officials who are unable to attend include Ald. Rossana Rodriguez Sanchez, Ald. Daniel La Spata, and Ald. Jeanette Taylor, the statement said. Participating organizations include Black Youth Project 100, Black Lives Matter Chicago, Chi-Nations Youth Council, the Black Abolitionist Network and United Working Families. The Italian American Human Relations Foundation of Chicago also responded to the protest, saying in part “This was the work of evil minded people. They have been fueled by an educational system too lax in its reliance on a poor curriculum re the education of the legacy of Columbus, and abetted by the majority of the media who refuse to question the baseless revisionist history of the Columbus saga.” When asked for a comment from the mayor, a spokesman for Lightfoot’s office pointed to a Twitter thread. In it, Lightfoot said “I unequivocally support and will always fight for the rights of individuals to peacefully protest on any issue. The history and stories of the lives of Indigenous People here in Chicago need to be lifted up and celebrated. There is a dialogue that must be had to honestly confront the deeply ingrained history of racism and discrimination that has subjected Black, Indigenous and other communities of color in our city and our nation for too long.” She went on to say her team has been developing a plan to engage in a comprehensive review of the city’s public icons to identify what should change and where new monuments and icons should be erected. She said more details are coming. Some protesters came with frozen water bottles, rocks, bottles, cans and other gear to throw at officers, Lightfoot said. “People in the crowd also threw fireworks and other incendiary devices at police, causing injury in several cases. These violent acts are unacceptable and put everyone at risk,” LIghtfoot said. She also noted there have been several reports of police using excessive force. “These are also unacceptable,” she said. “This is a difficult moment in our history. I know Chicagoans are frustrated and impatient for change. It is my sincere hope that we can strike the right balance to ensure people can rightfully express themselves & their First Amendment rights, but do so in a way that does not put anyone’s physical safety at risk. That would be consistent with our long history of peaceful protest.” Anyone whom the police has mistreated should file a complaint through the Chicago Civilian Office of Police Accountability or by dialing 311, Lightfoot said.)

(DIERSEN: What do the following have to say about this: a) the leaders of the DuPage County Republican Central Committee and the Milton Township Republican Organization; b) Republican candidates on November 3, 2020 ballots in DuPage County; and c) the leaders of DuPage County, Milton Township, and Wheaton who have presented themselves as being religious, conservative, and/or Republican?)
https://www.facebook.com/events/307850140389512/
(FROM THE POSTING: The Retirement of the Majority Rally will be on 7/14/2020 live at Facebook and at 9:00AM at the North East corner of County Farm Rd. & Manchester Rd. in Wheaton. Parking will be at 421 N. County Farm Rd. We will be gathering at the corner just across the parking lot from where the county board will meet. Sign up here for up to date information https://actionnetwork.org/events/the-retirement-of-the-majority-rally-catch-22-before-2022/ For a map go to bit.ly/7-14Map. Current Hosts: Indivisible DuPage, Naper Youth for BLM, Elmhurst Alliance for Racial Reform, Lombard Allies for Racial Justice, TIER, Carol Stream Community Activists, and Hinsdale for BLM. These groups will celebrate the end of the one party rule in DuPage County. We are educating the community about 22 state policy initiatives that could be done in the next legislative session that would stop killing BIPOC when they are signed into law. (A more succinct document is coming but they are here bit.ly/Legislative-Options.) Peter DiCianni needs to be held accountable and this protest will ensure that the public will not look away. The reality is that we live in a one party county that has lost the social contract required to govern. This event will celebrate the retirement of their majority rule over the second largest county in the state, which we predict will be by the end of this year. This event will be an authentic BIPOC activist fair directed at young people organized with and by young people. There will be a large community art build, with speakers ranging from youth activists to candidates and educators. We will be directing public commenters to the board, during the entire meeting. There will be a free COVID testing Car Caravan. There will be people to register voters and help them learn about the different electoral issues happening in the next 120 days. There will be celebration cupcakes and music to mark the retirement! There will be a march as well. We will ensure that attendees learn how to get involved, get a civics education, participate in a community renaissance and have fun. This will be socially distanced, masks required and they will be offered. Please bring, water, umbrellas and sunscreen. This is in conjunction with our summer activism school. If you or your group wants to cohost or be involved please pm us. We want as many people to make statements as we can whether they come or not. Choose 7/14 https://dupagecounty-ktgfp.formstack.com/forms/publiccomment Here are our demands. 1. There should be a clearly defined method for censuring elected officials in DuPage County. Not having one is unacceptable. 2. Peter DiCianni should be censured for his actions in the many videos and in his written words. If he isn’t it will be clear public accountability of elected officials is gone. 3. Peter DiCianni should be removed from chairing the Health and Human Services Board for his unacceptable behavior. If he isn’t, it will be clear they don’t have acceptable standards. 4. He has violated the ethics Agreement he swore an oath to. He should be removed. A vote needs to be taken, even if it is in the court of public opinion.)

TOWNHALL
— This Is Why the Official BLM Statement Is So Disturbing – Michael Brown (DIERSEN: What do you say to disgusting politicians who painted themselves as being religious, conservative, and/or Republican to get elected, but then promote BLM which is anti-law enforcement, anti-Trump, anti-conservative, anti-patriotic, anti-Republican, anti-American, anti-White, anti-male, anti-older people, anti-heterosexuals, anti-married people, anti-rich people, anti-gun owners, anti-Protestant, anti-German Americans, and anti-those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time?)
https://townhall.com/columnists/michaelbrown/2020/07/08/this-is-why-the-official-blm-statement-is-so-disturbing-n2572079
(FROM THE ARTICLE: And the BLM organization is dangerous, anti-Christian, and should be avoided. . .BLM was founded by three black women: Patrisse Cullors, Alicia Garza, and Opal Tometi. The first two identify as queer and the third as “a transnational feminist.” Speaking of Cullors, a website celebrating “lesbians who tech” states that, “When Patrisse was 16-years-old she came out as queer and moved out of her home in the Valley.” The official BLM site describes Garza as a “queer Black woman” who states that “we must view this epidemic through a lens of race, gender, sexual orientation, and gender identity.” That’s why a June 21, 2020 article on ABC news declared that, “From the start, the founders of Black Lives Matter have always put LGBTQ voices at the center of the conversation. The movement was founded by three Black women, Alicia Garza, Patrisse Cullors and Opal Tometi, two of whom identify as queer.” On a certain level, reading through the official BLM statement, being queer is as much of an issue for the movement as being black. Accordingly, there are multiple references to “trans,” as highlighted here: “We make space for transgender brothers and sisters to participate and lead. “We are self-reflexive and do the work required to dismantle cisgender privilege and uplift Black trans folk, especially Black trans women who continue to be disproportionately impacted by trans-antagonistic violence.” Even more forthrightly, the statement reads, “We foster a queer-affirming network. When we gather, we do so with the intention of freeing ourselves from the tight grip of heteronormative thinking, or rather, the belief that all in the world are heterosexual (unless s/he or they disclose otherwise).” Thus, the only references to heterosexuality are negative, as in “cisgender privilege” and “heteronormative thinking,” meaning the assumption that heterosexuality is the norm. So, BLM is not just fighting against white privilege but also heterosexual privilege. Make no mistake about it. That’s why the statement also goes out of its way to include people of “actual or perceived sexual identity, gender identity, gender expression.” The leaders have made themselves abundantly clear. But there’s more, and this has often been missed in commentary on BLM beliefs. While there are references to “mothers” and “parents” in their statement, there is not one single reference to fathers. Not one. (Contrast this with the multiple references to queer and trans and gender identity, etc.). As for mention of “men” or the idea of a male-led household, these are only found in totally negative contexts. Specifically, “We build a space that affirms Black women and is free from sexism, misogyny, and environments in which men are centered” (my emphasis). Oh, those terrible, evil men. And this: “We make our spaces family-friendly and enable parents to fully participate with their children. We dismantle the patriarchal practice that requires mothers to work ‘double shifts’ so that they can mother in private even as they participate in public justice work” (again, my emphasis). Yes, that oppressive, husband-wife, male-female union, that outdated, outmoded patriarchal dinosaur. It must be dismantled. (And note the assumption that if something is “patriarchal” it is unfair to women. A truly fair relationship would have the husband home with the kids while the wife is out doing “public justice work”). This is the language of radical feminism in unabashed, undisguised form. This too is part of the queer, trans-affirming spirit. As for the third founder, Opal Tometi, she is also described as “a student of liberation theology.” And there is now the widely circulated quote from Cullors that she and Garza “are trained Marxists.” As for the connection between liberation theology and Marxism, especially in this context, Prof. Anthony Bradley, himself black, has pointed out that, “Black Liberation Is Marxist Liberation.” So, without question, the official BLM movement is Marxist-based, queer-affirming, trans-activist, traditional-marriage degrading, radical-feminist promoting and more. In a certain sense, it is fatherless as well. That’s why I said that “the BLM organization is dangerous, anti-Christian, and should be avoided.” Now, let’s also remember that Cullors is on record saying that their goal is to remove Trump from office: “Trump not only needs to not be in office in November, but he should resign now. Trump needs to be out of office. He is not fit for office. And so, what we are going to push for is a move to get Trump out.” And this leads me to one last important point. When you connect all the dots, the spirit of the official BLM movement is downright Jezebelic, thus in direct conflict with the Alpha Male Trump.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Naperville’s fireworks are being shot off from the south side of town and the debut of The Naperville Salute has been postponed until 2021, but there is one Fourth of July event planned to bring patriotism to the downtown Saturday. Safe DuPage, an organization formed by Naperville City Council member Kevin Coyne, is hosting “Celebrating Naperville’s Heroes: 4th of July” at 9:30 a.m. at the base of the Millennium Carillon in Moser Tower at Rotary Hill, 455 Aurora Ave. Coyne said the event will include music and speakers in a socially distanced format with all attendees asked to wear masks and follow U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines to prevent the spread of the COVID-19 virus. Attendees also are asked to wear red, white and blue and to bring an American flag to wave. The purpose of the gathering, Coyne said, is to celebrate American independence and local safety. Speakers are set to include veterans, community leaders and elected officials. “We thought it’d be nice for an assortment of reasons to kick off the Fourth of July with a nice, patriotic-themed event that recognizes our public safety officers in Naperville who have done such a great job for so long,” Coyne said.)

The person spoke to the AP on Thursday on condition of anonymity because discussions between the league and the NFL Players Association are ongoing. Additional plans include the use of educational programs and storytelling about the victims and their families similar to the league’s PSA on Botham Jean released in January and the Super Bowl commercial on Corey Jones featuring his cousin, former NFL star Anquan Boldin.)

CORNELL SUN
— Cornell Alum Discusses Lack of Racial Diversity in Finance Industry – Maia Lee (DIERSEN: What if the financial industry adopted GAO’s up-or-out policy for its employees who are White and/or male? For example, the financial industry could get rid of its employees who are White and/or male who are not earning at least a) $250,000/year by age 25, b) $500,000/year by age 30, c) $1,000,000/year by age 35, d) $5,000,000/year by age 40, e) $10,000,000/year by age 45, f) $50,000,000/year by age 50, g) etc.)
https://cornellsun.com/2020/07/02/cornell-alum-discusses-lack-of-racial-diversity-in-finance-industry/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A 2017 trend report by the U.S. Government Accountability Office found that only 28 percent of professional positions in financial services were held by minorities. Upward mobility is another problem: Black and Latino employees make up 4 percent or less of executive and senior level employees of the largest U.S. banks such as JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America and Citigroup. A lack of representation for minorities can be attributed to several factors such as on-campus recruitment and unresolved prejudices. The GAO’s 2017 trend report found unconscious biases in promotions, a reluctance to recruit from more than a handful of elite universities and lack of leadership commitment to diversity as the main barriers to increasing diversity in the finance industry. Another possible explanation is that the industry places an especially heavy emphasis on networking as a part of the recruiting process. This can be disadvantageous for people of color through stereotyping during mentorship and having far less access to social networks. Graves said this becomes a self-perpetuating cycle in which a “lack of diversity breeds more lack of diversity.” She also noted that the perception of the finance industry as a “stodgy industry for older white guys” can deter young college students — especially those from underrepresented minority backgrounds — from applying to positions in financial services in the first place. Graves compared this image with major tech companies like Google and Facebook, which brand themselves as “cool, diverse and socially conscious” workplaces, suggesting that large finance firms may benefit from a remarketing strategy.)

I did yard work and delivered newspapers 1962-1964; washed dishes 1964-1966; cleaned golf shoes, chipped slag, and pumped gasoline in 1966; and delivered mail 1966-1969. I earned a bachelor’s degree in management from NIU in 1970. I bought a 1958 Chevy BelAir in 1964, a new 1966 Pontiac Tempest Sprint in 1966, a new 1968 Oldsmobile 442 in 1967, and a new 1969 Dodge Charger SE in 1968.)
https://townhall.com/columnists/derekhunter/2020/07/02/liberals-are-creating-a-nation-of-spoiled-brats-n2571733
(FROM THE ARTICLE: It starts, “It’s not the police who need to be retrained, it’s the public. We have grown into a mouthy, cell phone-wielding, vulgar, uncivil society with no personal responsibility and the attitude of ‘it’s the other person’s fault,’ ‘you owe me.’ A society where children grow up with no boundaries or knowledge or concern for civil society and personal responsibility.” We can argue whether or not police need more training – I don’t personally view it as a bad idea – but the rest is spot on. It’s the America liberals have created: a bunch of self-entitled brats used to getting whatever they want and unable to deal with not being coddled. We’ve seen it for a while now, mostly on college campuses but occasionally boiling over off campus into things like “Occupy Wall Street.” They’re the unemployed and otherwise unemployable who are angry about the results of the bad choices they made – majoring in bisexual polar bear studies or some other worthless field of study that only qualifies you to teach that worthless skill to other suckers dumb enough to major in it, for example – and unqualified to do anything. Their rooms back home are likely covered with participation ribbons, driveways likely filled by the family Prius coated with “I’m the proud parent of a spectacular student” bumper stickers, and fridges overrun with tofu. In other words, these people were created. Bad parenting has consequences.)
