— COMMENT: Ever-increasingly, Democrats cover up Chicago’s problems. I lived in Chicago’s north side in 1971, then in downtown Chicago part-time 1974-1976, and then full-time 1976-1978. I worked for IRS in downtown Chicago in 1971 and then 1973-1980. I worked for GAO in downtown Chicago 1980-1997. I took classes at UIC 1966-1968 and in 1971. I took graduate night classes in downtown Chicago at Loyola 1972-1976, DePaul 1976-1980, and IIT 1992-1997. I collected delinquent taxes for IRS in the south side of Chicago in 1973. While I was working for IRS in Chicago, my 1969 Dodge Charger SE was stolen in Chicago in 1971 and my 1962 Chevrolet BelAir was stolen in Chicago in 1973.

— Mayor Lori Lightfoot blasts ad from pro-Bailey political committee that ‘darkens’ her image – Dan Petrella, Jeremy Gorner and Gregory Pratt
https://www.chicagotribune.com/politics/elections/ct-lightfoot-blasts-tv-commercial-governors-race-20220824-746luxbypbhfdmldurib3epf2a-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The ad was created by the independent expenditure political action committee People Who Play By The Rules, a Florida-based PAC headed by right-wing radio host Dan Proft and funded by Richard Uihlein, the Lake Forest packaging magnate and conservative megadonor. Since the ad debuted Aug. 15, People Who Play By The Rules has reported spending more than $1 million on TV ads in Chicago and other markets, according to state campaign finance records. In an email Tuesday evening, Proft called Lightfoot’s racism allegation “an insane assertion” from a politician who is trying to deflect attention away from Chicago’s crime issues and denied the ad changed the tone of Lightfoot’s skin. “We did nothing to her pigmentation just as we did nothing to pigmentation of our pasty blowhard of a governor,” Proft said in the statement. “The video of Lightfoot was pulled from the web from her City Club speech.” Uihlein gave the PAC $8 million during the Republican primary, much of which was spent aiding Bailey by attacking the GOP credentials of Aurora Mayor Richard Irvin, one of Bailey’s top opponents in the six-man race. While the PAC is prohibited from coordinating directly with any candidate, Uihlein also gave more than $9 million directly to Bailey’s campaign. Since the primary, the Uline packaging supplies founder has given $20 million to Proft’s committee but nothing to Bailey’s campaign, state records show. Despite the committee supporting Bailey’s candidacy, his campaign noted in a statement Tuesday that it has “no communication with or control” over the PAC. Bailey spokesman Joe DeBose said Pritzker and Lightfoot have control over crime afflicting Chicago “and they should be more concerned with the people being killed and set on fire in the city.” The ad also warns that because of Pritzker “the lawlessness of Chicago will soon be the law statewide,” a nod to a provision of the 700-page Safety, Accountability, Fairness and Equity-Today law, or SAFE-T Act, which instituted a host of criminal justice reforms in Illinois.)
CHICAGO SUN-TIMES
— Lightfoot accuses conservative PAC of darkening her skin in TV ad about Chicago crime: ‘News flash. I’m Black and I’m proud’ Conservative Dan Proft told the Sun-Times in a text statement that Mayor Lori Lightfoot’s accusation about his PAC’s ad was “an insane assertion,” adding “We did nothing to her pigmentation just as we did nothing to [the] pigmentation of our pasty blowhard of a governor.” – Tina Sfondeles
https://chicago.suntimes.com/elections/2022/8/23/23319291/mayor-lightfoot-accuses-conservative-pac-darkening-skin-race-dog-whistle-dan-proft-dick-uihlein
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Proft told the Sun-Times in a text statement that Lightfoot’s accusation was “an insane assertion — and par for the course from inveterate race hustlers like Lightfoot and Pritzker who are trying to misdirect attention away from the fact that she has turned the city over to repeat, violent predators and he aims to do the same statewide with his elimination of cash bail.” In a more pointed element of a lengthy statement, Proft said, “We did nothing to her pigmentation just as we did nothing to [the] pigmentation of our pasty blowhard of a governor.” Proft said the video was pulled from her City Club of Chicago speech, although side by side comparisons with videos of the speech on You Tube appear to show the mayor’s skin darker in the brief snippet used in the TV ad. . .The PAC has spent $400,000 on the Chicago TV ad buy, with another $100,000 for a statewide radio ad with the same talking points. The ad is intended to criticize the SAFE-T Act, a criminal justice package that Pritzker signed into law in an attempt to address longstanding public safety issues and police distrust. Panned by Republicans for its provision to end cash bail, it goes into effect next year. . .The ad notably does not mention Bailey by name, despite Uihlein being one of Bailey’s top supporters in the primary, having contributed $9 million directly to his campaign between February and March. But the funding strategy changed in July, when Uihlein instead gave money in two contributions of a combined $20 million to the PAC. It means that the cash strapped Bailey campaign is relying on messaging from the PAC, even if it’s in ads the Republican nominee has no legal control over and don’t even mention his name. Bailey’s campaign had just $363,918.42 cash on hand at the end of a required filing period on June 30, according to the Illinois State Board of Elections. But Bailey has received thousands in contributions since, including a $50,000 contribution from businessman and former GOP congressional candidate Vincent Kolber. Still, it’s nowhere near the millions he received during the primary, directly from Uihlein. Bailey’s campaign, which has not yet begun airing TV ads with just 77 days until the general election, said they have had no communication with Proft’s political action committee, as required by federal law. “We have no communication with or control over this PAC, but Pritzker and Lightfoot have control over the skyrocketing crime in Chicago, and they should be more concerned with the people being killed and set on fire in the city,” Bailey spokesman Joe DeBose said in a statement. “Darren Bailey’s focus is making Illinois safe and affordable for everyone.”)

https://www.dailyherald.com/news/20220823/eleven-suburban-mayors-endorse-krishnamoorthi-
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A bipartisan group of 11 suburban mayors Tuesday publicly endorsed 8th District Democratic congressman Raja Krishnamoorthi of Schaumburg in his reelection bid against Republican challenger Chris Dargis of Palatine. The mayors are Richard Veenstra of Addison, Frank Saverino of Carol Stream, Dave Kaptain of Elgin, Craig Johnson of Elk Grove Village, Rod Craig of Hanover Park, Bill McLeod of Hoffman Estates, Jeff Pruyn of Itasca, Gopal Lalmalani of Oak Brook, Tom Dailly of Schaumburg, David Pileski of Roselle and Nick Cuzzone of Villa Park. All of their communities are within the 8th District. . .Dargis responded with a list of endorsements by current and former elected officials, including state Rep. Amy Grant of Wheaton, state Rep. Dan Ugaste of Geneva, state Sen. Don DeWitte of St. Charles and Republican U.S. Sen. Tom Cotton of Arkansas. “My opponent’s endorsements confirm what we already know: He is representing politicians and boosting his own political career, not doing his job in representing the best interests of the constituents in the 8th District,” Dargis stated.)

— NY Times uncovers systemic racism at the NY Times – JOHN SEXTON (COMMENT: According to Democrats, Libertarians, Greens, Independents, and RINOs, if Republicans, Whites, males, older people, heterosexuals, married people, conservatives, Protestants, German Americans, and/or those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time succeed in life, it is because they have benefitted from discrimination against those who are Democrat, Libertarian, Green, Independent, RINO, minority, female, younger, LGBTQ, unmarried, moderate, liberal, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or those whose ancestors have not been in America for a long time. Of course, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have always attributed all my successes in life to me benefitting from discrimination against those who do not share my demographics. I should write a book about my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes.)

Because the federal government protects its employees who are Democrat, minority, female, younger, veteran, non-Protestant, non-German American, and those whose ancestors have not been in America for a long time, the federal government discriminates against its employees who are Republican, White, male, older, non-veteran, Protestant, German American, and those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time.)

They always ranked me in the lower half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes.)

— For Many Americans, Cancel Culture is Self-Inflicted – J.D. TUCCILLE (COMMENT: What has caused you to be cancelled? For me, it has been my promotion of the individual responsibility, traditional marriage/family, right to life, immigration, illegal drugs, Second Amendment, and equal opportunity planks in the Republican Party platform. For me, it has been my opposition to promoting 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 (Affirmative Action, Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, CRT, 1619, BLM, reparations, replacement theory, wokeness/wokeism), and age discrimination. For me, it has been my refusing to be manipulated or dominated by my critics/opponents, my refusing to glorify and praise them, my refusing to pander to them, my refusing to serve as one of their operatives or dupes, my refusing to cover up their wrong doing, and my refusing to give them money.)
