— GOP’s VAX CULTURE CLASH – Shia Kapos

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Tweets and videos are putting the vaccine culture wars on full display. Some elected Republicans are speaking up in favor of getting the vax, while three GOP gubernatorial candidates say they haven’t been vaccinated — and probably won’t be. Congressman Rodney Davis tweeted “Please, get vaccinated. They’re safe and effective. Do it to protect your health and that of those around you so we can finally end this pandemic.” And just to be totally frank, he added, “Don’t give @JBPritzker an excuse to shut the economy down again.” State Rep. Avery Bourne tweeted a picture of herself getting the vaccine, saying “I’m vaccinated & I encourage others to get vaccinated too.” Meanwhile, a video surfaced (h/t Mark Maxwell) of a GOP campaign forum where gubernatorial candidates were asked if they had been vaccinated. Only former Republican state Sen. Paul Schimpf said he had been. The others — state Sen. Darren Bailey, businessman Gary Rabine, and attorney Max Solomon — all said no. The Illinois Republican Party didn’t mince words on its opinion about getting the vaccine. “We encourage people to get the vaccine to put the pandemic behind us,” a spokesman told Playbook. The vax clash comes as the debate and discussions about masks heat up. Republicans are united in not wanting to see Gov. J.B. Pritzker issue any more mandates.)

From what I see based on my serving as an elected DuPage County Milton Township Republican Precinct Committeeman since 2000 and as the GOPUSA Illinois Editor since 2000, ever-increasingly, the Milton Township Republican Organization (MTRO), DuPage County Republican Central Committee (DCRCC), and IRP are ever-increasingly moving further to the left. Ever-increasingly, the leaders of the aforesaid talk and/or act like they want the Republican Party to dump the traditional family, right to life, immigration, illegal drugs, Second Amendment, and equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) planks in the Republican Party platform. Ever-increasingly, they say and/or do things that promote 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 age discrimination. Everyone in Illinois sees how the MTRO, DCRCC, and IRP treat me and treat my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters. Everyone in Illinois sees the support that those got who stopped me from raising funds from Republicans to help sponsor Wheaton’s 2021 Independence Day Parade and Fireworks. Expect that as soon as they have enough votes, MTRO, DCRCC, and IRP leaders will pass resolutions that condemn Trump and glorify and praise Kinzinger.)

— New NPR Ethics Policy: It’s OK For Journalists To Demonstrate (Sometimes) – Kelly McBride
https://www.npr.org/sections/publiceditor/2021/07/29/1021802098/new-npr-ethics-policy-its-ok-for-journalists-to-demonstrate-sometimes

(FROM THE ARTICLE: NPR rolled out a substantial update to its ethics policy earlier this month, expressly stating that journalists may participate in activities that advocate for “the freedom and dignity of human beings” on both social media and in real life. The new policy eliminates the blanket prohibition from participating in “marches, rallies and public events,” as well as vague language that directed NPR journalists to avoid personally advocating for “controversial” or “polarizing” issues. NPR’s current ethics policy was first drafted in the early 2000s, and then given an overhaul in 2010-2011. The new NPR policy reads, “NPR editorial staff may express support for democratic, civic values that are core to NPR’s work, such as, but not limited to: the freedom and dignity of human beings, the rights of a free and independent press, the right to thrive in society without facing discrimination on the basis of race, ethnicity, gender, sexual identity, disability, or religion.” Is it OK to march in a demonstration and say, ‘Black lives matter’? What about a Pride parade? In theory, the answer today is, “Yes.” But in practice, NPR journalists will have to discuss specific decisions with their bosses, who in turn will have to ask a lot of questions. The carve-out is somewhat narrow. Protests organized with the purpose of demanding equal and fair treatment of people are now permitted, as long as the journalist asking is not covering the event. However, rallies organized to support a specific piece of legislation would be off-limits. Other events featuring a slate of political candidates from one party are also out of bounds. Even when NPR journalists can legitimately participate in a civic event, the new policy asks them to consider how their participation will impact their colleagues. When taking a public stance makes it harder for other NPR journalists to do their jobs, there is an expectation that the journalism will take precedence. This policy confronts the generations-old question in newsrooms: Where does the journalist end and the citizen begin?)

My father had died suddenly in 1969 and potential employers did not believe that my financial hardship draft deferment application would be approved. The job did not really require a college degree. Constructively, I was the store’s salesman. The Firestone Stores Chicago District Office hired me. I asked to be assigned to the Chicago Heights store because I lived with my mother and brother in Crete. My Chicago Heights Firestone Store manager would not have hired me. Sadly, he disapproved of my following demographics: Republican, draft avoider, German American, and Missouri Synod Lutheran. He refused to let me start until I passed a probationary period working for the Firestone Store in Gary. After I had worked for him for 7 months, he rudely fired me when I gave him my 2-week notice that I had accepted a job offer from Oldsmobile.)

Correa joins Rep. Jesús García (D-IL) in his pledge to oppose a budget without amnesty. Weeks ago, García said “a robust and equitable budget reconciliation deal must include” amnesty for illegal aliens. For months, Senate Democrats have been working to slip an amnesty past Congress via reconciliation. Senate Budget Committee Chairman Bernie Sanders (I-VT) said last week that Democrats are doing “the best we can” to ensure the amnesty is included.)

https://www.politico.com/newsletters/illinois-playbook/2021/07/26/kinzinger-joins-jan-6-panel-raouls-hamilton-story-pritzker-team-takes-shape-493730
(FROM THE ARTICLE: “I’m against [Kinzinger] being appointed by Speaker Pelosi,” said Republican state Sen. Darren Bailey, who is running for governor of Illinois and says Republicans should name Republicans to the committee, and Democrats, Democrats. “In Illinois, we know all too well what happens when you give a speaker this much power and it never ends well for the people. This behavior only leads more people to believe Pelosi is trying to manipulate this commission for political gain instead of having honest conversations to uncover the truth,” Bailey told Playbook in a statement. Meanwhile, a spokesman for the Illinois GOP did not respond to a request for comment. And an official with the party who would only speak on background, said he welcomed Kinzinger’s appointment because it will “drag the party back to being a law and order party.” That they wouldn’t speak on the record is an indication that the party is still grappling with how to juggle the far-right Trump supporters who tend to live downstate (like Bailey) with northern Republicans who, like Kinzinger, are appalled at the insurrectionists.)

CBS WEST PALM BEACH
— Conservative PAC formed to protest people moving to Florida – Jay O’Brien
(DIERSEN: Ever-increasingly, in DuPage County, Milton Township, and Wheaton, Democrats are far more welcome than conservatives. RINOs focus on destroying conservatives. I should write a book about RINO precinct committeemen, RINO candidates, RINO elected officials, RINO party leaders, RINO political consultants, RINO major donors, RINO fundraisers, RINO campaign managers, RINO campaign staff members, and RINO campaign volunteers who have done the most since 2000 to destroy the DuPage County Republican Central Committee and to destroy the Milton Township Republican Organization.)
https://cbs12.com/news/local/conservative-pac-formed-to-protest-people-moving-to-florida
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A conservative political action committee (CPAC) is painting a picture for Florida voters, warning that out-of-staters are moving to the Sunshine State in numbers that could potentially flip the state from leaning red to solid blue. The Save Our Sunshine State PAC (SOSS), formed in May, is making the pitch that COVID-19 is bringing unprecedented numbers of Americans to Florida from places like New York. “Massive migration to a state or city has ALWAYS resulted in increased violence and property crime rates, inflation, higher taxes, lower standards of living,” the PAC’s website says. The PAC was created by conservative political activist Rich Logis, who cites internal data that he claims projects that Florida will see thousands of liberal voters move into the state in the coming years. “It isn’t a question of us saying to them ‘you’re not welcome,’ what it’s a question of is us saying to them that ‘we are going to outnumber you in the political process,'” Logis told CBS12 News. “That’s totally inaccurate,” State Rep. Anna Eskamani, who recently founded the progressive voter registration organization People Power for Florida, told the Sun Sentinel. “The governor is doing everything he can to entice more conservatives to come to Florida.” Additionally, Eskamani told the Sun Sentinel that the SOSS website’s language was “very problematic and grounded in a white supremacy type of perspective of the future of our state.” State Rep. Omari Hardy, a progressive Democrat running for Congress in Florida’s 20th House District, told CBS12 News he believes the PAC seeks to further divide Americans. “Pitting Americans against Americans. That’s basically what this is about,” he added. “It’s the logical endpoint of Trumpism. I half expect these folks to propose building a wall around Florida and making New Yorkers pay for it.” Meanwhile, Logis believes Florida voters have to act quickly in order to counteract Democratic voters moving into the state. He says his PAC — which has not yet raised any money, according to filing records — will support voter registration. “That is the solution to make sure that Florida does not become another New York or another California,” he said.)

July 13 Morning Edition

POLITICO ILLINOIS
— LOOK WHO’s TALKING FOR THE GOP Illinois GOP Chairman Don Tracy sent a letter to Republican leaders Monday expressing frustration that MSNBC, CNN and local media turn to Republican consultants who “trash” other Republicans. “When they are listed as current or former party officials, it falsely gives the impression that these people are speaking for all Republicans in Illinois or the Chicago area,” according to Tracy’s email, obtained by Playbook. He doesn’t name names but it’s not hard to figure out that former state GOP Chairman Pat Brady doesn’t mince words about far-right Republicans when he’s interviewed by reporters. Tracy is the first downstate chairman of the Illinois GOP in more than 30 years. He lives in Springfield, three hours from Chicago, making it difficult to accommodate live broadcasts. So he’s now assigning two surrogate Republicans in northern Illinois, Kathleen Murphy and Ammie Kessem, to represent the party during TV interviews when he can’t make it. The issue is the surrogates tapped align better with Republicans south of I-80 than those in the Chicago area. Murphy is the former spokeswoman for former GOP gubernatorial candidate Jeanne Ives and a defender of Ives’ controversial TV ad attacking Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner’s record by featuring actors playing out sensitive cultural issues. It was uniformly criticized, including by the state GOP, for being racist, sexist and homophobic. Kessem, the 41st Ward GOP committeewoman, is a Chicago Police sergeant and avowed Donald Trump supporter. In an interview with Playbook, Tracy said that Murphy and Kessem “aren’t going out there to represent themselves. They are there to represent the Illinois GOP.” They will both work closely with Illinois GOP communication director Joe Hackler. “I don’t represent any wing of the party. I represent the entire Republican Party. And they will do the same,” Tracy said. Though Tracy’s TV accessibility to Chicago may be a challenge, the real problem for the GOP is handling the tension between moderate Republicans (generally in the northern part of the state) and those who align with Trumpism downstate. Party leaders kept quiet, for example, when asked to address controversial Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene coming to Illinois to stump for GOP Rep. Mary Miller. Along with backing up Tracy on TV, the GOP is working to expand its roster of voices to include women and minorities who can speak for the party. Tracy’s letter has already generated interest. Stepping up are GOP State Central Committee members Jay Reyes and Nimish Jani, Republican National Hispanic Assembly Chair Jesus Solorio, Palatine Township Republican committeeman Aaron Del Mar, and Diante Johnson, president of the Black Conservative Federation. – SHIA KAPOS
(DIERSEN: I have never hinted, implied, argued, or shouted that I or my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters have in any way ever spoken for the Illinois Republican Party (IRP), DuPage County Republican Central Committee (DCRCC), or Milton Township Republican Organization (MTRO). Political parties exist to help elect candidates who can and will defend and advance their platform. I have always encouraged the IRP, DCRCC, MTRO, TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois, and Illinois Center Right Coalition to help elect candidates who can and will defend and advance the Republican Party platform including its traditional marriage/family, right to life, immigration, illegal drugs, Second Amendment, and equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) planks.)

(DIERSEN: Robert Sandberg attended this event.)
https://capitalfax.blogspot.com/2008/09/gopusa-illinois-daily-clips-september_11.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Over 500 came to Wheaton’s beautiful Memorial Park on Saturday, September 11, 2004, to meet Alan Keyes and to hear his remarks concerning Patriot Day and his campaign. Alan was warmly received by the crowd which gave him several standing ovations during his 20-minute speech. State Senators Kirk Dillard and Peter Roskam served as Master of Ceremonies. Senator Dillard introduced the elected officials and candidates who were on the band shell stage with Alan while he gave his speech — State Senator Raymond Soden, State Representative Randy Hultgren, State Representative Candidate Roger Jenisch, DuPage County Board Commissioner Debra Olson, DuPage Coroner candidate Peter Siekmann, Illinois GOP State Central Committeeman Ron Smith, Milton Township Assessor Jim Gumm, and Milton Township Trustee Don Sender. The band shell stage is the same one that Bob Dole gave a speech from immediately after he walked in Wheaton’s 1996 Independence Day Parade — CNN broadcast that speech live. Senator Dillard recognized event attendees including DuPage County Auditor Jim Rasins, DuPage County Regional Superintendent of Schools Darlene Ruscitti, DuPage Regional School Board Trustee Tim Whelan, and District 89 School Board Trustee Howard Levine. He recognized the event’s sponsors — State Farm Insurance Agent Mark Prutzman, Oberweis Dairy, John Cox, All Star Printing, himself, Randy Hultgren, Debra Olson, Pete Siekmann, Tim Whelan, Don Sender, and Diersen Consulting. Senator Roskam gave some remarks concerning September 11 and he introduced Alan. Apparently, even though the Daily Herald, the Wheaton Leader, and the Wheaton Sun had been asked to cover the event, the only reporters who covered the event were Rich Samuels with WTTW’s Chicago Tonight and Dave Diersen with GOPUSA.com. Samuels and Diersen made VHS recordings of Alan’s speech. Event photographers included Matt Ferguson and Don Sender. The free event provided attendees with a great opportunity to enjoy great food, to meet their neighbors, to meet their elected officials, and to meet candidates who will appear on November 2 ballots in DuPage County. On July 5 last year, 200 attended a similar event in Wheaton’s Prairie Path Park, including Jack Ryan, Jim Oberweis, Andy McKenna, Chirinjeev Kathuria, and John Cox. Attendees at this year’s event enjoyed hot dogs and Polish sausages personally handed out by Debbie Malek from her cart. Debbie normally locates her cart at Cross and Wesley Streets at the southeast corner of Wheaton’s Adam’s Park, across the street from Wheaton’s Public Library. All the hot dogs and sausages were paid for by State Farm Insurance Agent Mark Prutzman. In its September 12, 2004 edition, the Daily Herald ran a major front page story on Debbie that included six pictures and quotes from Ron Smith. Attendees also enjoyed Oberweis ice cream and flavored milk personally handed out by Jim Oberweis and Sandy Rios from an Oberweis truck. Attendees enjoyed Jays potato chips provided by John Cox, salads and desserts that attendees brought to the picnic or were purchased with cash contributions, and soft drinks and ice paid for by the sponsors. Event costs included $180 for a $1 million insurance policy required for City of Wheaton and Wheaton Park District permits. The many people who helped make the event successful include Karen Diersen, Mark Prutzman, Bill Hogan, Mark Stern, and Gary Muehlfelt. Attendees included Rod McCulloch, Peter LaBarbera, Frank Penn, Richard Johns, Robert Gordon, George Kocan, Robert Sandberg, Leonard Sanchez, Lori Carlson, Richard Russo, Steve Carlson, Keith Carlson, Jason Hinkle, Mark Klage, Patrick Ryan, and Dr. Bob Krzyzewski. Alan will again be speaking in DuPage County on Friday, October 8, at 6:30 PM, at the Milton Township Republican Central Committee’s Viva Oktoberfest fundraiser at the Carlisle Banquet Hall in Lombard. Tickets are $45 or $400/table of ten.)
— SEPTEMBER 11, 2005 FLASHBACK: Nalepa gives keynote address at Wheaton’s 2005 Patriot Day picnic; Birkett, Brady, Fortner, Furstenau, Hultgren, Kathuria, Oberweis, Poe, Rauschenberger, Roskam, Rutherford, Wallace, Wegman, Zaruba, and many others attend – Dave Diersen
https://capitalfax.blogspot.com/2008/09/gopusa-illinois-daily-clips-september_11.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Wheaton’s 2005 Patriot Day picnic in Memorial Park honored the individuals who lost their lives as a result of terrorist attacks against America and showed support for America, for its war on terrorism, and for its military and law enforcement personnel. I had the honor of introducing the event’s master of ceremonies — nationally-known conservative activist, Fox News Channel contributor, and Culture Campaign President Sandy Rios. Wheaton Second Baptist Church Pastor Andre Allen gave the invocation. Korean War veteran Ron Smith led the pledge of allegiance. Harry Newman sang the National Anthem. Rios read President Bush’s 2005 Patriot Day proclamation, introduced the elected officials and candidates, and thanked the event sponsors. DuPage County Board Member Bob Heap spoke about DuPage’s implementation of 9/11 recommendations. 9/11 Families for a Secure America founder Peter Gadiel gave an outstanding speech about lessons learned from September 11, 2001. West Point graduate and USO board member Jim Nalepa gave an outstanding Patriot Day address. Newman concluded the program by singing “We still have heroes.” Attendees enjoyed delicious Debbie Malek hot dogs and Polish sausages courtesy of State Farm Insurance Agent Mark Prutzman, delicious pork sandwiches courtesy of State Representative Ray Poe, delicious Dr. Bob Rauschenbergers courtesy of State Senator Steve Rauschenberger, delicious Jays Potato Chips courtesy of John Cox, delicious ice cream and flavored milk courtesy of Jim Oberweis, and delicious soft drinks and bottled water courtesy of Charinijeev Kathuria. All Star Printing provided event flyers and DuPage County Board Chairman Bob Schillerstrom and Kane County Recorder Sandy Wegman covered the $385 cost of event insurance. The picnic provided attendees with a great opportunity to meet and speak with veterans, law enforcement officials, fire department officials, elected officials, and candidates. Many elected officials attended including State Senators Bill Brady, Carol Pankau, Rauschenberger, Peter Roskam, and Dan Rutherford; State Representatives Randy Hultgren, Roger Jenisch, and Poe; County officials Joe Birkett, Fred Bucholz, Heap, Gwen Henry, Gary King, Debra Olson, Jim Rasins, Darlene Ruscitti, Brien Sheahan, Pete Siekmann, Penny Wegman, Sandy Wegman, Tim Whelan, Jon Zahm, and John Zaruba; Township officials Sal Falbo, Moon Kahn, Gary Muehlfelt, and Leonard Sanchez; Municipal officials Alan Bolds, Jim Carr, Liz Corry, Mike Fortner, Dick Furstenau, and Howard Levine. Many candidates attended including congressional candidate Roskam; gubernatorial candidates Birkett, Brady, Oberweis, and Rauschenberger; Lieutenant Governor candidates Kathuria, Poe, Eric Wallace, and Wegman; Secretary of State candidate Rutherford; State Senate candidates Furstenau and Hultgren; and State Representative candidate Fortner. Former DuPage County Recorder Rick Carney and Mrs. Illinois Kaili Harding and her husband who graduated from West Point and served in both Afghanistan and Iraq also attended. By tomorrow, when I know how many of each type of food and beverage was served, I’ll have a better estimate of the number of the hundreds of people who attended. The many attendees included David Carlin, Dennis Driscoll, Bob Grahm, Joyce Hundhausen, Mark Klage, Jim Leahy, Bruce Mitroff, Mark Stern, Rick Veenstra, and Winston Waller. DuPage County is the second most populous county in Illinois and Wheaton is its county seat. Why didn’t the Chicago Tribune, Chicago Sun-Times, Daily Herald, Wheaton Leader, or the Wheaton Sun report on Wheaton’s Patriot Day event? Generally, the liberal media does not report on an event unless it can use that reporting to harm conservatives, that is, harm people who support the Republican platform. The vast majority of the attendees at Wheaton’s Patriot Day picnic were conservative Republicans — why didn’t more Democrats and RINOs attend? A number of Democrats told me that they would not attend because they are Democrats and because their attendance might be misinterpreted as support for President Bush. Attendance would have been even greater if fewer Democrats didn’t argue that Republicans have highjacked Patriot Day to promote the Patriot Act and President Bush’s policies in Iraq; if Blagojevich, Durbin, Hynes, Madigan, Obama, Quinn, or Topinka had helped sponsor event or confirmed that they would attend; if more Democrats and more RINOs shared the attitude toward patriotism and toward Patriot Day that Republicans have; if the Daily Herald had promoted the event like it promoted Naperville’s event; if there were not so many other competing events; and if the temperature/humidity had been lower.)

— Joe Biden’s Car Collection: From the Corvette Stingray to an Electric Ford – SAMANTHA LOCK
(DIERSEN: I should write an article that compares and contrasts Biden’s car collection with my car collection.)
https://www.newsweek.com/joe-bidens-car-collection-corvette-stingray-electric-ford-1592808

(FROM THE ARTICLE: 1967 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray However, the car reported to be closest to his heart—a 1967 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray—was gifted to the then 24-year-old as a wedding present from his father in the August of 1967. The Goodwood-green colored convertible still sits in Biden’s garage and even appeared alongside his presidential campaign. “I love this car. Nothing but incredible memories,” Biden said standing next to the vintage vehicle in a campaign video from August 2020. “Every time I get in I think of my dad and Beau [his late son].” The 1967 variant was the last in the C2 Corvette range. “The Secret Service won’t let me drive it. I’m not allowed to drive anything. It’s the one thing I hate about this job. I’m serious,” Biden said. With up to 350 horsepower, a V8 engine and the ability to reach speeds of 60 mph in just 4.7 seconds, it’s easy to see why Biden treasures the 1967 classic. Appearing on an episode of Jay Leno’s Garage in October of 2016, Biden impressed viewers by taking the comedian for a spin and performing a burnout in his ’67 Corvette Stingray. “I’ve always loved to drive… I like speed,” he told Leno while adding that his sons Beau and Hunter had the car’s engine rebuilt as a Christmas gift. According to Biden at the time, the meeting marked only the third time the Secret Service allowed him to drive his beloved car during his eight-year stint as vice president.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: There are also many grassroots opportunities in your local communities. The best leadership is local leadership, and Idaho has a strong network of local leaders. Each county has a Republican Central Committee that organizes, campaigns, and elects Republican candidates. Each central committee is comprised of precinct committee people, who are elected during primary elections every two years. Each voting precinct has a committee person (these are your neighbors!), so contact your local precinct committeeman and ask how you can become involved. It’s easy. You can visit idgop.org/county-parties for contacts in your community.)

IRS hired me in 1971 because it could not find a qualified Democrat, minority, female, or veteran who would take the job. The Post Office hired me in 1966 because it could not find a qualified Democrat, minority, female, or veteran who would take the job.)

— America’s left skews Fourth of July to sow seeds of hate – Cheryl K. Chumley
(DIERSEN: How successful has the left been in damaging your Independence Day? In Wheaton, the left succeeded in stopping Republicans from helping sponsor Wheaton’s Independence Day Parade and Fireworks. Of course, Democrats, Libertarians, Greens, Independents, and RINOs have no problem with that.)
https://m.washingtontimes.com/news/2021/jul/3/americas-left-skews-fourth-of-july-to-sow-seeds-of/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: An essay from the Black Agenda Report posted just this week is entitled, “Freedom Rider: The Terrible Origins of July 4th.” And in it, the writer, Margaret Kimberley, speaks of how American exceptionalism was actually born of a white settler determination to seize native lands and expand slavery — which means, of course, that the whole concept of American exceptionalism is therefore, in this writer’s eyes, a dud. That tells you all you need to know about the divide in this country right now. On one side are those who know America as a spirit of freedom, as a gold standard of individualism and entrepreneurism, as a promise of opportunity, as a clarion call for liberty-lovers everywhere to join forces to advance the best of what humanity has to offer. Skin color be danged. Financial circumstances be danged. Familial ties be danged. On the other? On the other — this: “The July 4 holiday in the United States commemorates the signing of the Declaration of Independence in 1776. Anyone educated in this country has been propagandized with lies about patriotic colonists seeking freedom from a tyrannical British monarch. Our minds were filled with tales of Paul Revere and Betsy Ross which erase the role that indigenous and Black people played as they attempted to end true tyranny over their lives. … The men who every school child is taught to think of as ‘patriots’ had two concerns which pushed them to declare independence,” as Kimberley wrote. What were they? The quest for land and slaves, she wrote. “The crown and the colonists were both determined to seize lands from native peoples and to continue enslavement,” Kimberley went on. “But their interests were also hostile to one another and war was the inevitable result. White settlers wanted full independence for themselves and no control over their actions at all.” Thus, the Declaration of Independence was born. Thus, White colonists warred against the king of England. Thus, America’s roots are steeped, soaked and saturated in hate for Blacks, in racism against non-Whites. Seriously? Seriously, Kimberley argued. But like most things coming from the lips of leftists, such rhetoric skews wildly to show truths as desired or as politically expedient, rather than as truthful. To believe colonists and founders wanted to break from the crown simply to grow slave and land holdings dismisses the pursuit of religious liberty that served as the key foundation of America’s beginnings. It dismisses the historical recordings of founders who fought against slavery, who wanted to abolish slavery — including Thomas Jefferson the, yes, slaveowner who nonetheless argued to ban slavery in the Northwest Territories. It dismisses the very uncomfortable fact of slavery knowing no skin color, knowing no race — meaning, even blacks enslave blacks. Both then and now. The Bible’s filled with stories of slaveowners and the enslaved, don’t you know? But most of all, it denies the unity that should be the natural outcome of a “melting pot” nation such as ours, and instead, demands a divide and conquer mentality among the citizenry. Either you’re with us, or you’re racist! — is the prevailing attitude of these critical race theory types. It’s angering. It’s also sad. Those who see the world through the lens of race, those who see America as a place of systemic racism, deserve to be pitied because they’re actually giving up their chance for a life of blessed, God-given opportunity to instead sow seeds of hate, discord and division. They’re missing out; they’re squandering their lives. But they deserve to be silenced, as well, because they’re not just sacrificing their own opportunities to achieve and their own chances to succeed. They’re coming after the children, the corporations, the country’s political leaders and demanding all sacrifice similarly. And that’s just evil. America is exceptional because America has a spirit of liberty that cannot be constrained or contained. It’s unfortunate some want to split that spirit by color, by creed, by race. For those with eyes to see and ears to hear, the Fourth of July reminds us: Freedom is not free — freedom may never be free. But it sure is sweet and worth every bit of fight. God bless America; God bless Americans. God save America from the wickedness of historical revisionists.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: The Independence Day parade was back with a bang for its 95th year here after a cancellation last year due to the pandemic. The Friday afternoon parade boasted the essentials that have marked the Livingston parade for almost a century now, including horses, cowboys, bagpipers, floats galore and thousands of people lining almost 10 city blocks. By the morning of the parade, more than 70 organizations had signed up for a spot in the procession, including a COVID-19 themed float from Livingston Health Care, a group of Rodeo queens riding their trusty steeds and a giant blue eagle wearing a MAGA hat. Gov. Greg Gianforte and Sen. Steve Daines were spotted waving and smiling their way down the parade route. “It’s about rodeos, it’s about family and it’s about coming together,” said Leslie Feigel, CEO of the Livingston Area Chamber of Commerce, which organizes the parade.)

— Evanston-Skokie district (District 65) teacher sues school district, claims ‘equity’ push violates US Constitution. The suit indicates, among other things, that the district stereotyped and divided teachers according to their race. – Sam Dorman
(DIERSEN: In 1988, when I was 40 years old, I became an active member in a class action lawsuit that charged my GAO superiors with reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation.)
https://www.foxnews.com/us/evanston-illinois-teacher-lawsuit-equity-trainings
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A drama teacher in Illinois is fighting back against what her attorneys say is highly racial content that stereotypes White people and violates the U.S. Constitution. Filed in federal court Tuesday, the lawsuit represents one of the primary lines of attack from activists seeking to combat the influence of critical race theory (CRT) in schools. The Southeastearn Legal Foundation, which is representing teacher Stacy Deemar, is working as part of Chris Rufo’s legal coalition that ultimately seeks to strike down CRT-related curricula at the Supreme Court. For months, Rufo and others have brought numerous school materials to public attention, often inspiring shock on social media. Tuesday’s case seemed to spotlight one of the bolder instances of so-called “anti-racist” education, which critics have described as “Neo-racism.” The lawsuit indicates, among other things, that the district stereotyped and divided teachers according to their race. For example, the district purportedly directed teachers to participate in racially segregated “affinity groups,” which were the subject of a federal civil rights complaint. Although former President Trump’s administration ruled that the district’s use of those groups was discriminatory, the Biden administration suspended that decision shortly after the president’s inauguration. The Evanston-Skokie district (District 65) previously caught attention for a school reopening policy that seemed to favor racial minorities over White students. Superintendent Devon Horton, who is listed along with his deputy as a defendant in Tuesday’s suit, received a wave of backlash for that proposal – prompting the school board to suggest White supremacy was at work. “When you challenge policies and protocols established to ensure an equitable experience for Black and brown students,” the board reportedly said in an open letter, “you are part of a continuum of resistance to equity and desire to maintain white supremacy.” According to the lawsuit, teachers were also instructed to read students the book “Not my Idea,” in which a devil approaches the main character with a “Contract Binding you to Whiteness.” Fox News previously reported on this book when it appeared as a referenced material at a Manhattan private school for young children. The imaginary terms offer “stolen land,” “stolen riches,” and “special favors.” It adds that “WHITENESS gets” “your soul” and “to mess endlessly with the lives of your friends, neighbors, loved ones, and all fellow humans of COLOR.” The end contains a section for signature and notes “[l]and, riches, and favors may be revoked at any time, for any reason.” Tuesday’s filing alleges District 65 instructed Pre-K through second grade teachers to ask students: “What is your understanding of whiteness?” Meanwhile, fourth grade teachers were instructed to ask how Whiteness showed up in a political cartoon. Fifth grade teachers, however, were instructed to preface the book with a statement about White people “play[ing] a big role in the problems of racism today and throughout world history.” Both this exercise and teacher trainings, the suit alleges, similarly associated Whiteness with negative attributes and disparaged colorblindness – a common feature of critical race theory. “Pretending not to see color is called color blindness,” teachers were allegedly told to say. “Color blindness helps racism. . . . Many White people use color blindness to ignore the problem of racism.” Defenders of so-called “anti-racism” or “culturally responsive training” generally argue that the practices help foster understanding and break down systemic biases. On its website, District 65 touts its racial and educational equity policy as a way to do just that. “There are persistent and unacceptable opportunity and achievement gaps for students of color in District 65,” it reads. “The racial predictability of achievement and disciplinary outcomes is attributable to institutional racism, cultural biases and other societal factors. The district recognizes that in order to provide educational opportunities that result in equitable outcomes particularly for Black/Brown students, that it must proactively acknowledge and intentionally address racial and cultural biases, in an effort to eliminate institutional structures and practices that affect student learning and achievement.” “The purpose of this policy is to establish a framework for the elimination of bias, particularly racism and cultural bias, as factors affecting student achievement and learning experiences, and to promote learning and working environments that welcome, respect and value diversity. Further, the purpose is to establish particular actions that District 65 shall take to disrupt the school-to-prison pipeline, to address disparities in educational opportunity and achievement while understanding the urgency with which we must move to support Black, Latinx and multi-racial students. District 65 is committed to focusing on race as one of the first visible indicators of identity while recognizing that the district’s students hold multiple, intersecting identities such as mental or physical ability, sexual orientation including gender identity and/or expression, religion, economic status, national origin and any other personal characteristics.” But critics say these types of materials are a form of indoctrination that violate federal law and the Constitution. Deemar is specifically accusing the district of violating the 14th Amendment’s Equal Protection Clause and Title VI, which prohibits discrimination at federally-funded educational institutions. Her attorney, Southeastern Legal Foundation General Counsel Kimberly Hermann, told Fox News that Deemar was only seeking $1.00 in damages with a focus on obtaining both a declaratory judgement and injunction. “By vowing to define its teachers and students solely by their race, District 65 promotes and reinforces a view of race essentialism that divides Americans into groups based solely on their skin color,” said Hermann. “District 65 teaches its teachers and students that their whole identity comes from the color of their skin. It teaches them to hate each other. It teaches them not only how to be racist, but that they should be racist. This is illegal, wrong, and must be stopped.” Besides Deemar’s lawsuit, others have emerged as apparent legal threats to the these types of trainings. For example, a mixed-race student in Nevada sued his charter school after he was allegedly instructed to delineate which parts of his identity were oppressive. More recently, parents in Loudoun County, Virginia brought a federal lawsuit claiming that the district’s equity ambassadorship program discriminated against White students. Districts across the country have seen similar allegations, with complaints that programs which are focused on “equity” scapegoat White people. Critics like Rufo argue that instead of “equity,” public institutions should focus on “equality” or ensuring the same opportunities among different racial and ethnic groups. This flies in the face, however, of critical race theory, which was formed partly in response to the perceived inadequacies of the civil rights movement. As Tuesday’s lawsuit notes, District 65 explicitly endorses “equity,” which it says “goes beyond the definition of equality – where students are treated the same – to fostering a barrier free environment where all students’ unique needs are addressed and supported by resources which are allocated in a fiscally responsible manner.” The focus on equal outcomes rather than opportunities was purportedly illustrated during “privilege walks,” which asked participants to evaluate their social advantages according to skin color. After scoring certain statements – e.g. “because of my race or color, I can speak in public to a powerful male group without putting my race on trial” – district staff were told to separate themselves with higher scores on the left and lower on the right. They further separate themselves based on additional prompts. “Near the end of the exercise, the facilitator asks all white people standing in line to step forward,” the lawsuit reads.)
