BIZ PAC REVIEW
— DISGUSTING, OUTRAGEOUS, TRAGIC, UNACCEPTABLE: Michelle Malkin, violently attacked by BLM, Antifa in Denver, sends S.O.S. to Trump – Tom Tillison (DIERSEN: Denver today, your municipality tomorrow.)
https://www.bizpacreview.com/2020/07/20/michelle-malkin-violently-attacked-by-blm-antifa-in-denver-sends-s-o-s-to-trump-949089
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Outspoken conservative firebrand Michelle Malkin was attacked Sunday by Black Lives Matter activists intent ion shutting down a “Back the Blue” rally in Denver. The peaceful pro-police event was underway at Civic Center Park when BLM activists and others wearing black-bloc and armed with collapsible batons — Malkin identified them online as Antifa — crashed the stage. Malkin can be heard in video of the attack screaming at the violent mob to get back. Not mincing words, she called the woman attacking them “b*tches” in a tweet, and said she was sprayed in the face with aerosol string and another man was beaten with a longboard. Video of the incident shows aggressive antagonists being allowed to walk right up to the very edge of the stage. Malkin shared a photo of the man she said was beaten by the mob. Malkin noted that police sat idly by doing nothing as the chaos ensued. According to the Denver Post, police “attempted to form a line around the two groups, but could not completely separate them.” The newspaper also said Denver Police Chief Paul Pazen asked the group “to reschedule or move the pro-police rally.” Malkin tweeted: “Denver Police Chief Pazen, who marched with BLM last month, let pro-police patriots get beaten and silenced.” In addition to BLM, the counter-demonstrators included the Party for Socialism and Liberation and the Afro-Liberation Front, according to KMGH-TV. The ABC affiliate reported the mob was “armed with pots and pans, whistles, hand-held sirens and other noise making gear,” and that they “crashed the Pro-Police rally and drowned out those trying to speak.” Almost reluctantly, KMGH-TV acknowledged that there were “a few scuffles between members of the two groups.” “There’s not much else to say other than every cop here is a terrorist by association,” Black Lives Matter supporter Hale Rardin told the station. Malkin took exception to how the local reporter she responded to above, KUSA-TV reporter Kyle Clark, tried to painted a “moral equivalency” between the peaceful pro-police group and the violent BLM mob attacking them. Pepper balls and a can of pepper spray were later deployed to disperse BLM activists, after police say some people “made aggressive moves” toward officers. In a somewhat foreboding wrap up, Malkin tweeted: “I’m ok. America is not.” An assessment that has merit, given the radical lawlessness seen from the left today, who intend to shut down all speech not in line with their hard-left views and are more than willing to use violence to do so, if necessary. This coming as law enforcement has been cast as the bad guys in America by both the Democratic Party and their media allies, emasculated and beaten back on their heels. Here’s a full-length Periscope video of the rally shared by Malkin — note that she also tagged President Trump, sending an SOS to restore law and order in American streets:)

Smith (DIERSEN: I transferred from IRS to GAO in 1980 when I was 31 year old a) because my Democrat IRS superiors had made it clear that they would never promote me to GS-13 and b) because GAO audits IRS, and I could use my knowledge of IRS on audits of IRS that I had gained working for IRS for almost 9 years, the last 5 1/2 years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 levels, currently $85,084-$96,431/year. But my Democrat GAO superiors succeeded in a) keeping me off audits of IRS 1980-1985, b) stopping me from being promoted to GS-13 until 1986, c) keeping me off audits of IRS after 1988, and d) forcing me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years old. They would not have done that if I had been a Democrat, minority, female, and/or veteran. After I transferred from IRS to GAO in 1980, I a) completed the requirements for a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980, b) passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981, c) became a licensed CPA in 1981, d) became a Certified Fraud Examiner in 1990, e) became a Certified Government Financial Manager in 1994, f) became a Certified Financial Services Auditor in 1996, g) became a Forensic Accountant in 1997, and h) completed the requirements for a master’s degree in financial markets and trading from IIT in 1997.)

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.)

The Local Journalism Sustainability Act, introduced on Thursday, is a bipartisan bill co-sponsored by U.S. Representatives Ann Kirkpatrick, a Democrat from Arizona, and Dan Newhouse, a Republican from Washington state. In brief, the legislation provides for tax credits for subscribing to a local newspaper, payroll credit for paying journalists who provide local news, and credit for advertising in local newspapers and local media. This act responds to the insidious way the pandemic has deeply damaged American communities in a malevolent cycle.)

https://www.kendallcountynow.com/2020/07/11/kendall-county-gop-hosts-campaign-rally-at-town-square-park/dnhg5fq/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Thunder and lightning didn’t stop Kendall County Republicans from gathering in Yorkville’s Town Square Park Saturday afternoon for a campaign rally for area candidates and a chance to show their support for law enforcement and the military. Oswego resident and Republican precinct committeeman Jason Hudson helped to coordinate and organize the event for the Kendall County chapter of the Republican Party. The rally, he said, was intended to give officers and veterans a moment of recognition. “We see so many counter protests, shaming our police departments. I wanted to do a rally saying, ‘Hey look, we support our police, we support our veterans’,” Hudson said. “We all know that all the police aren’t bad, they keep us safe and protect us. Yes there are bad apples within the bunch, but the group is really great…more people are good cops than there are bad cops.” Hudson and the Kendall County Republicans did ask that the news of the rally not be publicized in advance. When asked to explain that action, Hudson said that he thought it would be a ” good idea to keep this down low.” “The people on the left, they don’t really want to come out and have a discussion about this,” Hudson said. “Had we had a counter protester here, I would have given them two minutes on the stage. “The last thing we want is for somebody to come out here and incite any kind of violence or anything like that. We’re peaceful. If somebody were to set up across the street from us and have a counter protest and they wanted to come over here and speak, we’ll give them two minutes, as long as they’re reasonable.” “We all have common grounds,” Hudson said. “We all want to raise our kids, we all want to have safe streets, we all hate racism…we all have that in agreement. It’s just a matter of coming together and communicating about it.” Several candidates for state and federal office spoke at the rally, touching on points like the COVID-19 pandemic, Black Lives Matter protests, supporting law enforcement and the military, and the 2020 election. “Battle lines have been clearly drawn,” State Senator Jim Oberweis (R-25) told the crowd. Oberweis is running for the position of U.S. Representative against incumbent Lauren Underwood. Oberweis called a growing movement to defund police departments, “A direct assault on our country and our values.” While Oberweis stated his support for peaceful protests, he acknowledged that “bad actors” have turned the rallies across the country violent. “The answer to the violent and wrongful death of George Floyd is not more violence,” Oberweis said, “And it certainly isn’t defunding the police. “We need to take steps to heal this nation and address radical discrimination. But we do not need to adopt radical policies like defunding the police.” State leaders’ response to the coronavirus pandemic was also a hot topic for speakers. State Representative David Welter (R-75), campaigning for re-election, called out the actions of “King” Pritzker, in his response to the pandemic. Welter highlighted several lawsuits in various phases throughout the state, challenging Governor JB Pritzker’s actions over the past several months. “Small business owners, churches, different individuals and organizations trying to save their livelihood, trying to get by, and we continue to have a governor who is trying to make it as difficult as possible,” Welter said. “The Democrats want to tell us that it’s okay to riot, but it’s not okay to open our business. They want to tell us it’s okay to riot, but it’s not okay to praise God, to go to church,” Tom McCullagh, state senate candidate for the 49th district said. McCullagh, who touted his distribution of face shields to first responders, also reminded the crowd to pay attention to the status of several lawsuits against Pritzker’s coronavirus response. Jeanette Ward, running to fill Oberweis’ seat, also criticized the governor’s response to the pandemic, comparing his behavior to that of a “Socialist dictator.” “His unconstitutional mandate was supposed to end after 30 days, and it was defeated in court last week,” she said. “Yet he still keeps on making rules and laws as if he was a socialist dictator.” “If you are not free to enter public spaces and go shopping without a face covering, you are not free. If you are not free to hold church services and worship God while abortion clinics continue their murderous spree, you are not free,” Ward told the crowd. “If you aren’t opening your business to the public without government permission, you are not free. If you’re not free to take your children to public playgrounds that you pay for, you are not free. If you’re not free to send your children to school, paid for with your money, and allow them to play freely with other children, you are not free.” “It’s amazing to me how ‘my body, my choice’ only applies to certain things. That’s only if you want to kill the unborn,” she said. “2020 is not just a fight for the heart and soul of Illinois,” McCullagh reminded the crowd during his remarks. “It’s a fight for the heart and soul of our country.”)

What do you say to those who paint themselves as being religious, conservative, and/or Republican, but focus on blacklisting me and blacklisting my GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails?)
https://www.wsj.com/articles/target-mtv-blocked-ads-from-news-mentioning-george-floyd-and-protests-11594576272
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Last month Target Corp. told a leading online news publisher not to run its ads in stories related to the Black Lives Matter movement. Articles mentioning police-brutality victims such as “Breonna Taylor” and “George Floyd” were off limits, as were those with the word “protests.” Target and other advertisers that compiled similar “blocklists” say they were respecting the sensitivity of the issue and wanted to avoid the appearance of exploiting tragedies. News publishers say such moves effectively punish media companies for covering important issues, since they earn less money from content where ad-blocking is prevalent. Blocklists aren’t new: Before this year, many brands already were sidestepping articles with words like “shooting,” “bomb,” “immigration” or even “Trump,” hoping to avoid associations with controversial topics. The ad blocking went to a new level in 2020—first, as the terms “Covid-19” and “coronavirus” made it onto many blocklists, and more recently with the addition of terms related to the Black Lives Matter movement. “It’s defunding our journalism at a time when it’s imperative for us to be the front lines doing this kind of work,” said Paul Wallace, Vice Media’s vice president for global revenue products and services. Black Lives Matter coverage was Vice’s most popular news in June, yet commanded ad prices 57% lower than news about other topics because so many brands are actively avoiding placing ads in those articles, he said. “The most frustrating part of all of this is that the brands that are sending this stuff are standing on a pedestal saying that they support BLM,” he said. A Target spokesman said the retailer’s ad blocking “does not discount the importance of reporting on topics like Black Lives Matter or the murder of George Floyd. It’s intended to acknowledge that the person consuming that content may not be receptive to a marketing message from a mass retailer like Target at that time.” The spokesman added, “Target stands with our Black team members, guests and families.”)
