https://news.wttw.com/2021/12/15/lightfoot-decries-segregation-city-council-defies-aldermanic-prerogative-approve
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The 33-13 vote by the Chicago City Council represents a nearly unprecedented rebuke of the decades-old tradition of giving alderpeople the final say over housing developments in their wards. Critics of that practice, which is the subject of a federal probe, contend it has created a hyper-segregated city rife with racism and gentrification. Mayor Lori Lightfoot echoed that judgment moments before the vote, which capped a more than three-year odyssey that became a major flashpoint in the high-stakes effort to combat systemic racism in Chicago.)

Members of those protected groups include Blacks, Hispanics, Asians, Native Americans, females, LGBTQers, younger people, Trump-haters, moderates, liberals, Democrats, Libertarians, Greens, Independents, RINOs, criminals, boozers, gamblers, stoners, non-patriotic people, non-rich people, non-gun owners, non-married people, parents, citizens of foreign countries, non-Christians, non-Protestants, non-Italian Americans, non-German Americans, and/or those whose ancestors have not been in America for a long time.)

WASHINGTON POST
— More Americans than usual have been changing parties. Why? – Sean Bock and Landon Schnabel (COMMENT: I should write a book about Democrat plants, Libertarian plants, Green plants, Independent plants, and RINOs who have painted themselves the most since 2000 as being anti-conservative, that is, being anti-platform Republican, that is, being anti-Republican: a) past and present leaders of the Illinois Republican Party, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Milton Township Republican Organization, b) past and present Republican leaders of Illinois, DuPage County, Milton Township, Wheaton, Wheaton Park District, and Wheaton Chamber of Commerce, c) conservative and religious leaders, d) Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct, their political consultants, major donors, fundraisers, pollsters, campaign managers, campaign staff members, and campaign volunteers, and e) those who I have sued.

DALLAS NEWS
— In Donald Trump’s GOP, no one is too extreme (COMMENT: In Illinois, DuPage County, Milton Township, and Wheaton, the more of the following planks in the Republican Party platform that you support, the more that you are demonized, denigrated, and condemned as being an extremist: traditional marriage/family, right to life, immigration, illegal drugs, Second Amendment, and equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving). Because I support all of the aforesaid planks, the Illinois Republican Party, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Milton Township Republican (MTRO) have always done everything that they can a) to stop me from sending out GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters and b) to stop everyone from reading those newsletters. This year, they stopped me from raising funds from DuPage Republicans so that DuPage Republicans could help sponsor Wheaton’s Independence Day parade and fireworks. In 2015, the gerrymandered my precinct. In 2012, they ended my TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois chairmanship. In 2011, they ended my Wheaton Chamber of Commerce Government Affairs Committee membership. In 2010 and 2004, they ended my MTRO webmaster service. In 2007, they ended my Illinois Center Right Coalition Steering Committee membership. In 2004, they viciously ended my bid for MTRO Treasurer and ended my American Association of Political Consultants Midwest Chapter board membership.)

HERALD TIMES
— Monroe County Indiana GOP chair resigning; young vice chair to run for post in Saturday’s caucus – Rachel Smith (COMMENT: Ever-increasingly, the Illinois Republican Party, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, Milton Township Republican Organization, etc. are under pressure from Democrats, Libertarians, Greens, Independents, and RINOs to recruit, to retain, and to promote precinct committeemen who are minority, female, younger, LGBTQ, Trump-haters, moderate, liberal, non-Christian, non-Protestant, non-Italian American, non-German American, and/or those whose ancestors have not been in America for a long time, that is, to not recruit, to not retain, to not promote, and to get rid of precinct committeemen who are White, male, older, heterosexual, non-Trump haters, conservative, Christian, Protestant, Italian American, German American, and/or those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time. Democrats, Libertarians, Greens, Independents, and RINOs want Republican candidates to lose elections.)
https://sports.yahoo.com/monroe-county-gop-chair-resigning-112256786.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: According to Ellis, a party chairperson can be a highly influential position as they will have the responsibility of promoting local turnout during elections and recruiting potential candidates. Elaine Thomsen, the county GOP’s secretary, will preside over the caucus, and the party’s precinct committeemen and vice precinct committeemen will be its voting members.)

CONVERSATION
— How the Native American population in the US increased 87% says more about whiteness than about demographics (COMMENT: I should write a book that compares and contrasts how the Democrats who ran GAO’s Chicago office 1980-1997 treated their Native American employees verses their White employees. I would focus on the preferential treatment, including not being forced to take early retirement, that the office’s Native American employees got.)
https://theconversation.com/how-the-native-american-population-in-the-us-increased-87-says-more-about-whiteness-than-about-demographics-170920
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Birth rates among Native Americans don’t explain the massive rise in numbers. And there certainly is no evidence of an influx of Native American expatriates returning to the U.S. Instead, individuals who previously identified as white are now claiming to be Native American. This growing movement has been captured by terms like “pretendian” and “wannabe.” Another way to describe this recent adoption of Native American identity is what I call “racial shifting.” These people are fleeing not from political and social persecution, but from whiteness.)

NEWS BUSTERS
— NewsGuard Ratings System Heavily Skews in Favor of Left-Wing Outlets – Joseph Vazquez (COMMENT: What do you say to my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes who claim to be religious, conservative, and/or Republican, but a) who promote left-wing outlets like Capitol Fax and b) who demonize, denigrate, and condemn the right-wing www.gopillinois.com ?)
https://www.newsbusters.org/blogs/free-speech/joseph-vazquez/2021/12/13/study-newsguard-ratings-system-heavily-skews-favor-left
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A new analysis reveals the extraordinary left-wing bias of website ratings firm NewsGuard, which should concern every American given that it is expanding its reach into cable and broadcast TV news. Liberal outlets were rated 27 points higher on average than news organizations on the right. MRC Free Speech America analyzed the NewsGuard ratings of media outlets based on a list compiled by AllSides classified by their “bias” on a left-to-right scale. The average NewsGuard score for the “left” and “lean left” outlets — which included leftist outlets like Jacobin and The Nation — was 93/100. While the average rating for “right” and “lean right” outlets — which included Fox News, Washington Times and New York Post — was a low 66/100. That’s a 27 point disparity. According to NewsGuard’s skewed ratings, left-leaning outlets have substantially more “credibility” on average than right-leaning outlets.)

— GOP leaders seek to fend off Trump endorsement as far-right Republican eyes Illinois primary bid. – Melanie Zanona and Manu Raju
https://www.cnn.com/2021/12/13/politics/mary-miller-republican-primary-illinois/index.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Donald Trump’s closest Hill allies are privately lobbying the former President to get involved in a Republican-on-Republican matchup in Illinois, a potentially messy scenario that has sparked internal strife in the party and prompted GOP leaders to launch a counter-campaign aimed at keeping Trump on the sidelines. At the center of it all is freshman Rep. Mary Miller, a member of the hard-line House Freedom Caucus who has been left without a seat after redistricting. Now she’s deciding whether to challenge fellow Illinois Republican Reps. Rodney Davis or Mike Bost. Hoping to boost Miller’s political prospects, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia — another controversial firebrand who is close with Miller — has been talking her up to Trump and encouraging him to throw his weight behind Miller, according to multiple GOP sources. Trump endorsement would turbocharge the intraparty battle and potentially make things even stickier, something GOP leaders are eager to avoid. So House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy has worked behind-the-scenes to head it off: he has urged Trump to stay out of the primary race, telling the former President that Bost and Davis — who are poised to become committee chairmen if Republicans reclaim the House after next year’s midterms — are both good members, sources said. The tug-of-war over Trump’s potential involvement in Illinois is just the latest headache for GOP leaders as they seek to keep the party united in their quest to reclaim power. While McCarthy views Trump as an essential ally in his efforts to win back the House and become speaker, the former President’s meddling in certain GOP primaries could also make life more difficult for the California Republican.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: The case arose in 2019 after Evers did not invite members of the MacIver Institute to a background briefing on budgetary matters that was attended by some two dozen members of the press who cover the governor. The MacIver Institute filed a federal lawsuit alleging the group had been denied press access due to their conservative viewpoint, in violation of the First Amendment. Evers countered that the law permits reasonable restrictions on access to official events, and that his office’s denial of press credentials to the think tank was not done because of the group’s viewpoint. In March 2020, a federal judge in Wisconsin sided with Evers, finding that the governor had “reasonably concluded that MacIver is not a bona fide news organization.”)

— Journalist: A journalist is an individual trained to collect/gather information in form of text, audio or pictures, processes them to a news-worthy form and disseminates it to the public. The act or process mainly done by the journalist is called journalism. (COMMENT: According to my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes, Rich Miller is a journalist, but I am not. They stress that Miller claims to be non-partisan, but that I do not. They stress that leaders in Illinois who state that they are religious, conservative, and/or Republican treat Miller as being a journalist, but that they do not treat me as being a journalist. I should write a book about the aforesaid leaders. I would focus on those who a) demand blind loyalty to them and to them only and b) destroy those like me who they cannot manipulate/dominate, who refuse to glorify and praise them, who refuse to pander to them, who refuse to serve as one of their operatives or dupes, who refuse to cover up their wrongdoing, and/or who refuse to give them money. In my defense, I worked for GAO for almost 18 years as an Analyst, the last 11 years of which at the GS-13 Step 1-10 Levels, currently $102,188-$132,645/year. What GAO Analysts do is very similar to what journalists do. As the GOPUSA Illinois Editor since 2000, I have sent out GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters.

https://www.theblaze.com/news/blm-leader-fox-news-interview
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A Black Lives Matter leader suggested that a Fox News host enjoys “white privilege,” so her opinion on New York City Mayor-elect Eric Adams’ remedies for spiking violent crime in the city is irrelevant. . .Newsome then attempted to dismiss MacCallum’s point of view because of her alleged “white privilege.” “But see, you don’t know what it’s like, you don’t know what it’s like to be pulled over and thrown up against walls,” Newsome said, then telling MacCallum, “You live from a place of white privilege.”)

HISTORY NEWS NETWORK
— SEVEN EX-PRESIDENTS HAVE TRIED TO RECLAIM THE OFFICE. WILL THERE BE AN EIGHTH? – Ronald L. Feinman
https://historynewsnetwork.org/blog/154567
(FROM THE ARTICLE: If he ends up running, Trump would be the 8th former president to attempt to return to the office. Only one, Grover Cleveland, was successful. Three others—Martin Van Buren, Millard Fillmore, and Theodore Roosevelt—-ran as third party candidates. Three others—Ulysses S. Grant, Herbert Hoover, and Gerald Ford— attempted to run after leaving the Presidency, but failed to accomplish that goal. . .Grover Cleveland (1885-1889) (1893-1897) is the only president to win, then lose, and then regain the presidency. In an era of Republican dominance, the conservative Cleveland was the only Democratic president between James Buchanan before the Civil War and Woodrow Wilson in 1913. He is best remembered for supporting the Interstate Commerce Act (1887), supporting a lower protective tariff that only came about in his second term, demonstrating white supremacist views toward African Americans, native Americans, and Asian Americans, intervening in the suppression of the Pullman Strike of 1894 in his second term, and opposing the western free silver crusade headed by William Jennings Bryan in 1896. Cleveland also appointed four Supreme Court Justices in his two terms, and utilized the veto power more times than any president, except for Franklin D. Roosevelt. Cleveland was also an anti imperialist, refusing to annex Hawaii when Benjamin Harrison tried to arrange a treaty as he left office in 1893, refusing to intervene directly in the Cuban war against their Spanish masters in 1895, and opposing the Spanish American War and American intervention in the Filipino Insurrection under his successor, William McKinley.)

HR MORNING
— Hit with a bias claim? Here’s what you need to beat it. – Tom D’Agostino (COMMENT: I should write a book about pretext. Because it is illegal to discriminate because of race, color, gender, age, sexual orientation, religion, national origin, and/or political affiliation if you are a government employee, etc., those who discriminate use pretexts. Most commonly, discriminators foist negative stereotypes of your demographics upon you. If you are White, they hint/imply/argue/shout that you discriminate against non-Whites and you are a White supremacist, Nazi, KKK member, racist, etc. If you are male, they hint/imply/argue/shout that you discriminate against women and you are a sexist. If you are older, they hint/imply/argue/shout that you discriminate against younger people. If you are heterosexual, they hint/imply/argue/shout that you discriminate against LGBTQers and you are a bigot. If you are Protestant, they hint/imply/argue/shout that you discriminate against non-Protestants. If you are German American, they hint/imply/argue/shout that you discriminate against non-German Americans. If you are Republican, they hint/imply/argue/shout that you discriminate against non-Republicans. I would focus on pretexural discriminators who have lots of religious, government, political, and/or financial clout in Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois. According to Pluralism ( https://pluralism.org/stereotypes-and-prejudice ), Protestants are anti-Catholic and anti-Semite. According to Wikipedia ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stereotypes_of_Germans ), negative German stereotypes include being Nazis and not having a sense of humor. According to Babbel ( https://www.babbel.com/en/magazine/false-german-stereotypes ), negative German stereotypes include being unfriendly and loving cars.)
https://www.hrmorning.com/news/hostile-environment-2/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: It’s common sense, really: Employers accused of taking action against an employee for an illegal reason must be prepared to say what the real reason was – and that it was perfectly legitimate. In a typical case, articulating a nondiscriminatory reason volleys the burden to the plaintiff to show that the proffered reason is not real but instead is just a pretext for unlawful bias. And if the plaintiff can’t show pretext, the case usually ends.)
