CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— AS THE DEMOCRAT PARTY’S STRANGLEHOLD ON ILLINOIS, ON COOK COUNTY, AND ON CHICAGO TIGHTENS: Meet the people working to kick Chicago out of Illinois – Cindy Dampier (DIERSEN: Ever-increasingly, the Democrats who run Illinois, Cook County, and Chicago make it clear that they want each and every individual, organization, and company that is a Trump supporter, Protestant, conservative, patriotic, Republican, American, White, male, older, rich, gun owner, German American, draft avoider, and/or those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time TO LEAVE ILLINOIS.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Over the past two years, the movement to divide the state of Illinois into two states — Cook County in one, the other 101 counties in the other — has been gaining support. In February, as Gov. J.B. Pritzker was pursuing an agenda for Illinois that included new tax and abortion policies, Halbrook refiled a resolution in the state legislature, HR 101, in which he and six co-sponsors asked the U.S. Congress to recognize Chicago as the 51st state. “I hear it a lot from my constituents, that we need to be separate from Chicago,” Halbrook says. “I thought yep, this is what we need to do.” The resolution, which could be dismissed as simple political maneuvering — plays big at home, but has scant chance of seeing daylight in the legislature — is also backed by several grassroots groups agitating for separation. One of them, Illinois Separation, founded by Collin Cliburn, of Athens, has 24,000 followers on Facebook, and growing. Cliburn is also holding events at venues from wineries and gun shops to community centers around the state through August and September to capitalize on the cause’s momentum.)

CHICAGO SUN-TIMES
— Pritzker vows to ‘root’ out parents scamming system for college financial aid for their kids: ‘Shame on you’ “If people are defrauding the system, these wealthy parents are literally committing fraud here,” the governor said. “We need to go find them, root it out and make sure that those dollars go to the right people.” – Tina Sfondeles (DIERSEN: How much debt did/could your parents take on to pay for your college expenses? I never expected my outstanding parents to take on any debt to pay for my college expenses. My father fought type 1 diabetes from age 14, he was the first of his ancestors to earn a high school diploma, he never attended college, he worked in the office of a nasty chemical plant, he almost always worked second jobs to pay the family’s bills, and he did not buy a new car until he was 45 and it was a bottom of the line Chevy. My mother never attended high school.)

— HARDCOPY ARTICLE TITLE: ‘She won’t take my calls’  Since taking office May 20, Lightfoot has not returned Wilson’s calls, he said. Instead, Lightfoot sent him a text saying she’s ‘too busy running the city to call me back.’ (DIERSEN: In politics, to not return a constituent’s phone call is to dump that constituent. I should write a book about past and present politicians a) who have represented me at the federal, state, county, township, and local levels and b) who have not returned my phone calls.)

In fact, a) IRS hired me because it could not find a qualified Democrat, minority, female, or veteran who would take the job and b) GAO hired me because it could not find a qualified Democrat, minority, female, younger person, or veteran who would take the job.)

I never expected my outstanding parents to take on any debt to pay for my college expenses. My father fought type 1 diabetes from age 14, he was the first of his ancestors to earn a high school diploma, he never attended college, he worked in the office of a nasty chemical plant, he almost always worked second jobs to pay the family’s bills, and he did not buy a new car until he was 45 and it was a bottom of the line Chevy.

https://www.wsj.com/articles/the-college-financial-aid-guardianship-loophole-and-the-woman-who-thought-it-up-11564595984
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The college consultant who developed a strategy to help wealthy clients access scholarships designed for the poor said she came up with the idea after seeing how much debt parents were taking on to send their children to college. Lora Georgieva, owner of a consulting company called Destination College, said she has been explaining to families for the past two years that if they legally transferred the guardianship of their college-bound children to a friend or family member, the teens would be considered independent for the purposes of financial aid. That means they wouldn’t have to declare their parents’ income or assets, making it possible for them to collect state, federal and college scholarships reserved for students from poor families. The strategy was the topic of a Page One article Tuesday in The Wall Street Journal. Ms. Georgieva hadn’t responded to requests for comment for that article, but subsequently spoke Tuesday night with a Journal reporter about her operation. The U.S. Education Department condemned Ms. Georgieva’s actions and said it was moving to stop them.)

The Phoenix New Times posted audio of a July 15 speech during which state Sen. Sylvia Allen said a flood of immigration and low birth rates among whites amid a lack cultural assimilation mean “we’re going to look like South American countries very quickly.” The Republican from Snowflake, Arizona, who is white, also said the U.S. has to regulate immigration so the country can provide jobs, education, health care and other needs. “We can’t provide that if people are just flooding us and flooding us and flooding us and overwhelming us,” she said.)

— Resident of Baltimore Agrees with Trump: Cummings ‘Hasn’t Done Anything for Us’ – HANNAH BLEAU (DIERSEN: What has your Republican Precinct Committeeman done for the Republican voters in your precinct? Since 2000, I have made GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails available to the Republican voters in my precinct. Those emails have gone out each and every morning since 2004, and each and every evening too since 2015. Since 2004, those emails have included links to more than 341,800 articles and information on many upcoming events. Since 1999, I have kept the Republican voters in my precinct informed of who the Republican candidates were and how many votes they received in the precinct. Since 1999, I have circulated petitions for all the Republican candidates, distributed their literature, and encouraged the voters in the precinct to vote for them. Further, I have the best record by far since 1999 for attending Milton Township Republican Central Committee (MTRCC) meetings and fundraisers. I served as the MTRCC webmaster 2000-2004 and 2008-2010. I save attended all the Illinois Republican Party (IRP) State Conventions as a Delegate since 2000 and I served on the 2008 IRP Platform and Resolutions Committee. Further, since 2005, I have raised funds from Republican candidates, elected officials, and party leaders to help sponsor Wheaton’s Independence Day parades and fireworks. In the process of doing the aforesaid, I have come to know all the Republicans at the federal, state, county, township, and city levels who serve my precinct.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: The deadline to be considered by the City of Knoxville to fill the vacant city council position is this week. As of last Friday, only two individuals have indicated their interest in filling the vacant position. Jerrold Jordan and John Gotta have both formally informed the city of their interest. The deadline to apply to be considered is Wednesday, July 31st. Anyone interested in filling the vacant position can submit a letter of interest and resume to City Hall for review by the council. Following the July 31st deadline the remaining Councilmembers will review all submitted material, and may schedule a meeting to interview interested candidates. If needed, interviews would likely take place on either August 5th or August 12th.)
