— Focus on the suburbs (DIERSEN: Political parties exist to help elect candidates who can and will defend and advance their platform. Illinois Democrat, Libertarian, Green, Independent, and RINO major donors and political consultants want Republicans to lose. Ever-increasingly, they shout at Illinois Republican candidates and party leaders that they should a) dump the traditional marriage/family, right to life, immigration, illegal drugs, Second Amendment, and equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) planks in the Republican Party and b) dump Republicans who support any of the aforesaid planks. Further, Illinois Democrat, Libertarian, Green, Independent, and RINO major donors and political consultants ever-increasingly hint/imply/argue/shout at Illinois Republican candidates and party leaders that they should a) promote hatred against Trump and b) glorify and praise Kinzinger. I should write a book about Illinois Republican candidates and party leaders who have talked and/or acted the most like they have taken the aforesaid advice.)
https://capitolfax.com/2021/08/10/focus-on-the-suburbs/
(FROM RICH MILLER: The hard truth is the Republican Party has been scaring away suburban voters in droves for 20 years in Illinois (with some exceptions) with the issues they choose to run on and the types of people they nominate. Also, the sort of person who can gin up a ton of Downstate turnout is not generally the type who can play well in the suburbs. Bruce Rauner did it (barely winning the primary) and eventually brought peace to the party in 2018, but then eventually created loads of chaos.)

The program is part of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission’s (EEOC) Training Institute. – Samuel Dorman (DIERSEN: How many people do you know who have taken lots of diversity training? Democrats use diversity training to get rid of Republicans. The Democrats who run the federal government require all their employees to take lots of diversity training. I worked for the Democrats who ran the federal government for almost 30 years. I should write a book about all the diversity training that I took. That training hinted/implied/argued/shouted that Republicans are White supremacists, Nazis, KKK members, haters, racists, sexists, bigots, and even worse things who should gotten rid of once and for all.

COLORADO SUN
— Some Colorado Republicans want to forgo their party’s 2022 primaries. Others think that’s “insane.” Under the proposal, to be voted on by the Colorado Republican Party’s central committee in September, GOP general election candidates would be picked through the caucus and assembly process. – Sandra Fish and Daniel Ducassi (DIERSEN: Most commonly, moderate candidates win Republican primaries because multiple conservative candidates run splitting the conservative vote.)
https://coloradosun.com/2021/08/05/2022-republican-primary-opt-out-vote/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: “I think it’s time for the party to start standing on its platform and principles and to get candidates who will do the same,” said Peg Cage, former chairwoman of the Boulder County Republicans, who supports forgoing the 2022 GOP primaries. “We can’t do that if we’re constantly going left and trying to placate the unaffiliated voters and the Democrats.” . . . “Having non-members decide who will be the Republican nominee is a golden opportunity for the opposition to infiltrate and to weaken our platform of liberty, justice, personal freedom, and adherence to our constitution,” Hanks wrote.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: As Ford Authority has learned from sources familiar with the buyout plan, the packages are being targeted toward workers and teams dedicated to ICE-powered vehicles. Ford said that the “action is to further enable us to match our business priorities with the critical skills needed to turn around our automotive operations.” The Ford salaried buyouts are being offered to some white-collar workers as voluntary incentives to leave the company, which will allow Ford to avoid layoffs. Severance packages such as this are often offered to older workers nearing retirement who may be keener to take such a deal.)

EPOCH TIMES
— To Save America, Run for School Board – Roger L. Simon
https://www.theepochtimes.com/to-save-america-run-for-school-board_3933758.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Forget Congress, the Senate, or whatever glamorous position you ever fantasized about or not, even president of the United States, if you want to have a serious impact from your work, if, as they say, you want to make a difference, to change this country for the good in the short and long term, run for your local school board. You would be saving America from turning into the bleakest, socialist-communist state imaginable because that is what our current educational system, K-12, is designed to do and, sadly, has been successful in doing, literally for decades—and it’s only getting worse. You would in the process also be a true revolutionary in the tradition of the Founders of our country in bringing back truth, justice and the American way to our children and our children’s children. Someone’s gotta do it—the hour is late. But you, dear reader, can save us, especially if we band together—and there are plenty of us to do it. Please consider running for the school board to radically change a highly-corrupt and evil leftwing educational system, which has crossed the border into child abuse. The failure of this current system rests on two mutually reinforcing planes. One, indoctrination, rather than actual education, has become the overwhelming goal of our system from pre-school and kindergarten onwards.)

https://capitolfax.com/2021/08/04/live-pritzker-announces-mask-vax-mandates/
— FROM THE REPORT: ILGOP press release…As Governor J.B. Pritzker reinstitutes statewide COVID-19 mitigations and mandates, his re-election campaign is running ads highlighting his administration’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic, taking an obviously premature victory lap. Illinois Republican Party Chairman Don Tracy issued the following statement calling on Pritzker to take his TV ads off the airwaves : “Governor Pritzker cannot have it both ways. He cannot run political TV ads that take a victory lap over his pandemic response while at the same time reinstituting COVID mandates and mitigations. The return of these mandates is a clear admission of his own failure. Pritzker should take his self-serving TV ads off the air. Whether it’s veterans who have died under his care, massive unemployment insurance fraud, or the return of mandates after our state’s full re-opening, Pritzker’s executive incompetence has been the hallmark of his pandemic response.”

https://www.bizpacreview.com/2021/08/04/lefts-lauded-1619-project-largely-ignores-at-least-one-hugely-significant-historical-fact-1113212/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: It would be difficult to overstate the Democratic Party’s enduring and baleful role in slavery and racism…The Democratic southern states, such as Georgia, specifically criticized the anti-slavery policies of President Lincoln’s Republican Party in their declarations of succession in the Civil War. Even after the war, [historian Jay] Cost notes, the Democratic Party’s “central purpose in the second half of the 19th century was specifically to prevent civil rights legislation from being implemented.” In response to black Republicans being elected in Southern states during Reconstruction, it was Democrats who enacted poll taxes and literacy tests to suppress the black vote. A Democratic president, Woodrow Wilson, resegregated the federal work force in Washington and hosted a White House screening of D.W. Griffith’s egregiously racist, white supremacist “Birth of a Nation.” As late as 1952, the running mate of Democratic presidential candidate Adlai Stevenson, John Sparkman, was an open segregationist. A significantly higher percentage of congressional Republicans voted for the 1964 Civil Rights Act than did congressional Democrats, and segregationists such as George Wallace were major figures in the Democratic Party until the 1970s..The absence of Democratic Party critiques is all the more conspicuous when you consider that the 1619 Project doesn’t shy away from critiquing the GOP….)

GALESBURG REGISTER MAIL
— Churches succumbing to immoral ways – Thomas Mosher, Victoria (DIERSEN: The Democrat, Libertarian, and Green party platforms are extremely anti-religious. Churches should speak out against the promotion of dependency on government, dependency on charity, LGBTQ, BLM, CRT, 1619, reparations, 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.)
https://www.galesburg.com/story/opinion/letters/2021/07/31/letter-churches-succumbing-immoral-ways/5439463001/
(FROM THE LETTER: A sign of the times? Many of our Christian denominations are succumbing to the whims and immoral ways of secular society. They call it “inclusion” and “diversity.” Many churches have accepted non-traditional marriage and also treat abortion as if our God would accept those “choices.” Compromising with those specific issues is not in accordance with his word or his will. Our church pews are full of sinners, but those sinners are seeking forgiveness. Our God loves all repentant sinners but he detests their sin. He will not accept nor forgive any unrepentant sin. All sin must be addressed from the pulpit even if addressing them steps on some toes and results in fewer people in the pews. Our churches have been under tremendous stress. We must stand up and speak up about what is happening in our specific denomination. Our church’s failure to deal with certain sin dishonors our relationship with God. We are dishonoring the name of Christ, and we will be held accountable. Christian churches must separate themselves from the liberal elements that accept what our God has deemed abominations. If they do not they will become irrelevant and will no longer be considered churches seeking God’s will. What is your lifestyle and would our God approve of it? Is it carnal or seeking God’s will? Are you seeking God’s purpose for your life or are your seeking worldly pleasure and self-gratification? Do not come to the end of your life regretting what your life has become or the choices you made. Doing right today will ensure that the tomorrows take care of themselves. That includes making right choices in our churches. Whether you believe it or not, there is no other name under heaven, but the name of a Jewish Rabbi, Jesus, whereby we will spend eternity with our creator. Those who believe otherwise, whether Methodists, Baptists, Mormons, Catholics, Jews, Hindus, Islamists or whatever, will not come to the peace our father offers unless we come to him through Christ. Our God is a just God and although he is a loving God, he will one day judge all of mankind. Churches that fail to deal with all sin compromise their relationship with God. They will be held accountable at that judgment.)

POLITICO ILLINOIS
— State Rep. Chris Miller is continuing to promote the false claim that former President Donald Trump won the 2020 presidential election. “Make no mistake, Donald J. Trump was overwhelmingly elected in this last election cycle,” Miller said at a political event to promote state Sen. Darren Bailey’s bid for governor. The Effingham Daily News first reported Miller’s comments. A spokesman for the Illinois GOP declined to comment but reiterated, “we recognize that Joe Biden won in November 2020.” And House Minority Leader Jim Durkin texted, simply, “Trump lost.” Get used to the mixed messages as the Illinois GOP tries to unite a party still divided over basic facts nine months after the election.- Shia Kapos

— How to have a retirement worth saving for – LIZ WESTON

(FROM THE ARTICLE: LIVE PURPOSEFULLY Without work-imposed structure, some people start to drift, with one day blurring into the next. Setting goals and taking steps to achieve them can help restore a sense of purpose and achievement, O’Neill says. O’Neill started her post-Rutgers life by setting five goals: finishing the book she was writing; staying active in financial education; cultivating friendships; “doing lots of fun things and new things”; and staying healthy by walking 10,000 steps daily, eating healthy foods and getting at least 7 hours of sleep each night. (Tending to your physical well-being is key: 81% of retirees in a 2014 Merrill Lynch study cited good health as a key ingredient for a happy retirement.) Achieving specific, measurable goals can help people redefine their concept of productivity, which is important to many people’s sense of self-worth, O’Neill says. Goals also can help offset a tendency to put things off. People who are used to saving and delayed gratification may have trouble “flipping the switch” to spending and enjoying their lives, O’Neill says. But time, good health and energy aren’t infinite. Many people in her 55+ community in Ocala, Florida, struggled during the pandemic not just because their plans were canceled, but because of an acute awareness that the clock was ticking, she says. “It wasn’t just two years lost, it was two good years,” O’Neill says. “You don’t know how many of those you have left.”)
