POLITICO ILLINOIS
— FROM THE SHIA KAPOS ARTICLE: In an interview after the appointment, Tracy said his number one goal is to unify the party. Like the national GOP, Illinois Republicans have been split on how to move forward in the wake of Donald Trump’s presidency. “Individually we can be strong, but united we’re a force. I’m going to be pounding on that again and again,” he told Playbook. “It’s a huge challenge in some ways but that will be job No. 1.” The issue is playing out in Illinois and across the country as Republicans come to terms with how to deal with criticism of the former president. Illinois Congressman Adam Kinzinger, for example, has called for Trump’s impeachment; a point that has divided Republicans in the state as well as in Washington, D.C. Tracy doesn’t agree with Kinzinger’s views but doesn’t think he should be censured for them, either. “I support Ronald Reagan’s 80 percent rule,” Tracy said. “If someone agrees with you 80 percent of the time, they’re still your friend and ally. We need to build the party and expand the party and not excommunicate people because of a single or occasional political disagreement.” Tracy takes a similar view of the downstate vs. Chicago divide that has separated many lawmakers. It’s not geography that has created the divide, he says, but issues. His platform — at least so far, on day one: strong families, strong market economy, strong safety, efficient government and school choice. “They’re the core values of the Republican party. Whether you’re a farmer or union worker in southern Illinois or a soccer mom or executive in northern Illinois, they’re issues we can agree on.” Looking at 2022, Tracy says the goal will be to try to capture the U.S. Senate seat that’s up, the governor’s office and legislative seats that have left Republicans in minority positions. “We united as a party” to defeat the graduated income tax amendment, he said. “We fired on all cylinders. And that’s what we need to do for 2022.” (DIERSEN: Conservative-haters do not want me to ask questions. In 2005, conservative-hating employees of the Illinois Republican Party (IRP) stopped me from attending Andy McKenna’s press conference in Springfield after the IRP State Central Committee elected him chairman. Conservative-haters fear that I will ask Republicans the following questions: If elected, would you encourage or discourage promotion of the following: a) reparations, b) BLM, c) LGBTQ, d) dependency on government, e) dependency on charity, f) abortion, g) mass/illegal immigration, h) booze, gambling, pot, and other vices, i) more gun controls, j) patronage, k) political affiliation discrimination, l) reverse discrimination, and m) age discrimination?)

ILLINOIS REPUBLICAN PARTY
— ILGOP Selects Don Tracy as Next Chairman. Springfield businessman and lawyer becomes the first downstate chairman since 1988.
https://illinois.gop/ilgop-selects-don-tracy-as-next-chairman/
https://mailchi.mp/d9760b6d6f55/icymi-pritzker-admin-mia-while-over-20-of-lasalle-veterans-home-residents-die-of-covid-4741676
(FROM THE PRESS RELEASE: In December of 2020, outgoing Illinois Republican Party Chairman Tim Schneider announced a transition plan in which there would be an open and transparent process for the selection of a new chairman. Today, after lengthy interviews with the three finalists, spirited discussion, and a weighted vote amongst the ILGOP State Central Committee, Don Tracy of Springfield has been chosen as the next chairman of the Illinois Republican Party and has unanimous support from the committee. Tim Schneider immediately offered his resignation and Don Tracy accepted the role of chairman to fill the remaining two years of Schneider’s term. Chairman Don Tracy has released the following statement in response to his selection: “I am truly honored and excited to have been chosen by the State Central Committee to serve as Chairman of the Illinois Republican Party. I want to thank each member for the opportunity to serve. I promise to lead with honesty, integrity, and the vigor we need to turn Illinois around. I also want to thank the other two finalists – Mark Shaw and Scott Gryder – for their tireless work on behalf of the Republican Party. I look forward to working with them to elect more Republicans. I ran for this position because I love Illinois – it’s my home – and I believe the ILGOP can be a tremendous catalyst for change in this state. The upcoming election cycle can be monumental if we seize on the tremendous opportunities before us. We have a weakened Governor who can be defeated; we have a US Senate seat to win; we are well-positioned to win back Congressional seats; we can claw back seats in the state legislature if we recruit the right candidates; and lastly, we have an historic opportunity to elect a fourth Republican to the state Supreme Court for the first time ever. The only way we can capitalize on these opportunities in 2022 is if we unite the party. My number one priority is to give every Republican a seat at the table and give every Republican a voice. Regardless of our differences, Republicans are the only hope for turning Illinois around and keeping it from becoming a depopulated, over-taxed, and anti-police financial basket case. There’s too much at stake in 2022 to be anything less than a united band of brothers and sisters in the fight to save Illinois. So, whatever your political leanings, wherever you live – if you want to fight corruption, restore fiscal sanity, grow our economy, and stand for law and order – you’re on our team. It’s time to suit up, work together, and bring home some wins for the people of Illinois.” Don Tracy is a successful businessman and lawyer from Springfield, Illinois. Born and raised in rural Mt. Sterling (Brown County, Illinois), he is the oldest of twelve children. Don and his eleven siblings own the thriving family business, Dot Foods, Inc., a national redistributor of food and related products, and other national businesses. Headquartered in Mt. Sterling (population: 2,025), Dot Foods, Inc. was founded in 1960 by Don’s father and currently employs 6,000 people across the United States and Canada. Don is the first chairman of the Illinois Republican Party from outside Chicago and the collar counties since 1988.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Members of the Illinois Republican Party on Saturday picked a former gaming board chief to be the next head of the state party. Don Tracy, a Springfield attorney who was appointed to lead the Illinois Gaming Board by former Gov. Bruce Rauner, won the backing of members of the state GOP’s central committee. Tracy was not immediately available for comment. In a statement earlier this week, Tracy said the “state is in danger” of “becoming a depopulated, left wing, one party, over-taxed, and anti-police financial basket case. “Having been born in Illinois, and spent most of my life in Illinois, I am determined to help reverse Illinois’ decline,” he said. Tracy faced allegations in 2019 of making or directing several political contributions to Rauner in violation of state gambling laws. He labeled the report a “political hit job” and a “bunch of baloney.” The attorney beat out two other candidates vying to lead the party — Lake County Republican Chair Mark Shaw, who currently serves as state party co-chair and president of the Republican County Chairmen’s Association, and Kendall County Board Chair Scott Gryder. Former chair Tim Schneider announced in December he’d be stepping down from the position, which he called the “honor of a lifetime.”)

CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— Illinois Republicans pick Springfield businessman as new party chairman – RICK PEARSON
https://www.chicagotribune.com/politics/ct-illinois-republican-party-gop-new-chairman-20210207-w2sbznaw4farxlonp2uy5btuzm-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Don Tracy, a former state Gaming Board chairman and unsuccessful 2010 lieutenant governor candidate, was picked by top Republicans on Saturday as the new Illinois GOP chairman. . .The election was based on the weighted votes of the 18-member Republican State Central Committee, which met in Bolingbrook. The vote was close, 52% for Tracy and 48% for Shaw, according to two sources, who asked not to be identified because the results were pledged by members to remain secret. The party then agreed to make the choice unanimous. “I promise to lead with honesty, integrity, and the vigor we need to turn Illinois around,” Tracy said in a statement after hours of candidate interviews and discussion. Contending the GOP has “tremendous opportunities” in 2022 in what is now a one-party Democratic state, Tracy emphasized the need for unity. . .The pick of Tracy was viewed as an establishment conservative GOP choice over Shaw, a sometimes controversial figure who previously sought the chairmanship. Shaw orchestrated the December effort among hard-liners that led former Cook County Commissioner Tim Schneider to agree to step down as party leader with more than a year left in his term. Schneider was Rauner’s hand-picked choice for GOP chair in May 2014. . .Tracy has donated more than $400,000 to candidates and causes since 1999, state campaign finance records show, primarily to himself and his sister-in-law, but also to local GOP causes in candidates in Springfield. He also gave $25,000 to the successful effort to defeat Democratic Gov. J.B. Pritzker’s effort to have voters approve a graduated-rate income tax amendment to the state constitution on Nov. 3.

Tracy has long opposed abortion rights and has touted his support of gun-owner rights.)
— Illinois GOP says Rep. Adam Kinzinger and other Republicans who voted to impeach Trump ‘created widespread division and anger’ in the party – RICK PEARSON
https://www.chicagotribune.com/politics/ct-adam-kinzinger-illinois-republicans-20210205-7cwxhciinzcmvjyaue6ohenc2y-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The state party’s rebuke of Kinzinger falls short of actions taken by other state parties against their GOP congressional members who voted for impeachment. Some have issued a censure, a statement of strong disapproval but carrying no formal penalties, against those representatives. In Illinois, LaSalle County Republicans voted to censure Kinzinger, whose sprawling 16th Congressional District includes the county. Kinzinger spokeswoman Maura Gillespie said Kinzinger plans to speak early next week with GOP county chairmen and committee members in his district “to hear their concerns and share with them where he stands on things.” “Congressman Kinzinger looks forward to building on that solid foundation as they all work together to navigate these next four years under a Democrat majority and through the course of this pandemic, keeping the focus on serving the community and the shared interests of the party,” she said. Kinzinger’s actions had been expected to become a subject of discussion on Saturday when top state Republicans convened in Bolingbrook and picked former Illinois Gaming Board Chairman Don Tracy of Springfield as a replacement for Chairman Tim Schneider. But the GOP statement made it clear that it wanted the meeting to focus on the future and not on Kinzinger.)

CAPITOL FAX
— Don Tracy chosen as new ILGOP Chair
https://capitolfax.com/2021/02/06/don-tracy-chosen-as-new-ilgop-chair/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: I don’t have a press release from the ILGOP, but I do have one from the IDCCA… Following the Illinois Republican Party electing Raunerite Don Tracy as their new Party Chair, President Kristina Zahorik of the Illinois Democratic County Chairs Association (IDCCA) released the following statement: “It is rich that the Illinois GOP appointed a new chair with a history of corrupt behavior. We repeatedly watch Illinois Republicans cry crocodile tears over political corruption, and today they proved they’re the Grand Old Party of hypocrisy with their appointment of Don Tracy.” The State of Illinois Office of Inspector General found that Don Tracy illegally made campaign contributions through his wife while serving on the Illinois Gaming Board. The report said Tracy “made loans and contributions either directly, or through his wife, to political committees” in violation of state law. Tracy was appointed to the Gaming Board by former Republican Governor Bruce Rauner in 2015. . .From Mary Morrissey, Executive Director of the Democratic Party of Illinois…“As the Republican Party struggles to take control of its party back from white supremacists and violent extremists, Illinois Republicans have chosen a leader whose ties to Donald Trump and Bruce Rauner promise a return to the failed policies of the past. The Illinois GOP has deemed Don Tracy, a Trump supporter who resigned as the Illinois Gaming Board chair after steering illegal contributions to former Governor Rauner’s campaign, as their best hope to carry their party into the future. It will be interesting to see if the Illinois Republican Party will continue to embrace questionable leadership, division and extremism or consider working with Democrats to find solutions that lift up workers and families across Illinois. We aren’t holding our breath.”)

POLITICO ILLINOIS
— KINZINGER, CHENEY and CENSURE – SHIA KAPOS and MARIA CARRASCO
https://www.politico.com/newsletters/illinois-playbook/2021/02/04/kinzinger-cheney-and-censure-rabbis-on-the-remap-green-light-for-obama-center-still-no-teacher-deal-491638
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Rep. Adam Kinzinger unloaded on House GOP leaders Wednesday as Republicans in Illinois’ LaSalle County announced they’d voted “overwhelmingly” to censure him for his vote to impeach former President Donald Trump. The Illinois congressman has become a symbol of the schism within the GOP both in Illinois and in Congress as Republicans try to grapple with Trump’s influence on the party. Kinzinger says he’s worried the GOP is headed down a dangerous path and he’s flooded the airwaves saying so. During a tense House GOP conference meeting that ran more than four hours, Kinzinger “unleashed hell” on Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy for spending more time defending pro-Trumper Marjorie Taylor Greene than Wyoming Rep. Liz Cheney, calling it “embarrassing,” according to a source familiar with the day’s action. Ultimately, McCarthy offered “a full-throated defense” of Cheney, and the caucus voted to let her keep her leadership position on a 2-1 margin, according to POLITICO’s Melanie Zanona and Olivia Beavers. And POLITICO’s national Playbook reports Greene walked back some of her over-the-top claims of bowing to QAnon. The meeting wrapped up with Republicans taking the view that Cheney had a right to vote her conscience when she (and Kinzinger) sided with Democrats to impeach Trump for his role in inciting the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol. Meanwhile, the full House will vote today on a measure to remove Greene from her committee assignments. Closer to home, members of the LaSalle County Republican Central Committee voted 88 percent in favor of censuring Kinzinger, Chairman Larry Smith said in a statement Wednesday night. Two reasons were cited for censure: Kinzinger has not met with the La Salle Republican in over six years and that he was one of 10 Republican representatives to call for impeachment. The censure disavows Kinzinger “for acting contrary to the values” of La Salle County Republicans, Smith said. A similar resolution for censure is being presented to the Winnebago County Republican Central Committee, reports the Rockford Register Star. In a statement to Playbook, Kinzinger spokeswoman Maura Gillespie responded: “While Capitol Police Officer [Brian] Sicknick was being honored in state for his ultimate sacrifice — defending our democracy — the LaSalle County GOP was condemning Congressman Kinzinger for trying to hold the president accountable for the actions that led to his death.”)

https://www.1430wcmy.com/2021/02/03/lasalle-county-gop-censures-cong-kinzinger-state-gop-could-soon/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The LaSalle County Republican Party reports its central committee has voted, with 88% of members agreeing, to censure Cong. Adam Kinzinger. The party disapproves of him for not meeting with the central committee in the last six years and for voting to impeach Pres. Trump. Chairman Larry Smith says the party has received hundreds of messages via text, email, and telephone from LaSalle County and beyond about Kinzinger. Censure is a strong statement of disapproval. It doesn’t remove Kinzinger from office or boot him out of the party. The message behind it says the party’s most ardent supporters won’t support him. That increases his vulnerability if someone runs against him in a primary or if he wants to use party resources in a campaign. The LaSalle County Republican Party Central Committee met Tuesday night. The Chicago Tribune reports the Illinois GOP could consider a censure motion against Kinzinger this Saturday.)

WEEK
— LaSalle County GOP leaders vote to censure Kinzinger – Howard Packowitz
https://week.com/2021/02/04/lasalle-county-gop-leaders-vote-to-censure-kinzinger/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Republicans who organized a rally in Ottawa last weekend against U.S. Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-Channahon) has now censured him for supporting former President Donald Trump’s impeachment. The LaSalle County Republican Central Committee sent out a news release via social media Wednesday night announcing 88% of its precinct committeemen voted to reprimand the McLean County native. At their regular monthly meeting in Ottawa, committeemen repeatedly noted Kinzinger was one of only 10 Republican House members who voted with Democrats to impeach Trump, and the Congressman has not met with the central committee for more than six years. “Congressman Kinzinger’s actions and statements against former President Trump have opened a Pandora’s Box of criticism,” said Larry Smith, the county’s GOP chair, in a prepared statement. “The LaSalle County Republicans have received hundreds upon hundreds of emails, text messages, and phone calls from our county and beyond expressing their frustration and a lot more with Congressman Kinzinger’s actions and statements the past few months,” said Smith. “Many have been very direct that their support for the Republican Party is over if Congressman Kinzinger’s behavior isn’t addressed,” Smith also said. Smith claims more than 40 county Republican Central Committees statewide have given their “unsolicited support” for the censure. Kinzinger represents Illinois’ 16th Congressional District, which includes LaSalle, Livingston, Bureau, and Putnam Counties.)

https://www.chicagotribune.com/politics/ct-obama-groundbreaking-kinzinger-home-district-legislature-spin-20210204-bsqt2qppozcsfbi4xdvttkejy4-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Days after Kinzinger launched his national effort to recalibrate a national Republican Party whose unofficial leader remains former President Trump, he was asked how his efforts have been received among constituents in his district back home in Illinois. The five-term congressman from Channahon, southwest of Joliet, told viewers of MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” that “the Republican base (is) pretty ticked off at me.” Of late, he’s taken a fatalistic view that his congressional career may be on the ropes because of his anti-Trump stance. But he also expressed some optimism on MSNBC. Winning with 64.7% of the vote last fall, Kinzinger points out that he finished 15 percentage points ahead of Trump, who lost to Joe Biden with 40.55% of the vote in Illinois. To Kinzinger, his margin of victory suggests he has more than loyal Republicans in his camp. “I think what that shows is that Democrats will still be open to voting for you,” Kinzinger said, while acknowledging, “Independents and Republicans that we’ve lost won’t.” Here’s what he didn’t say: As the Tribune’s Rick Pearson reported over the weekend, the Republican State Central Committee meets Saturday to pick a new state GOP chair, and some in the party want to use the forum to discuss Kinzinger and a possible reprimand for his anti-Trump statements. A member of the Winnebago County Republican Central Committee is pushing to censure Kinzinger, which would be nothing more than a public scolding, the Rockford Register Star and Springfield’s Capitol Fax politics blog reported last month. But it could mean GOP leaders in Winnebago County, part of the 16th District, will turn their backs on Kinzinger in the next election. Remap factor: “In 2022, Kinzinger faces a year in which Illinois’ congressional districts will be redrawn by Democrats to reflect the outcome of this year’s census — amid predictions that one or possibly two of the state’s 18 House seats will be eliminated,” Pearson reminds in this December piece that examines Kinzinger’s political horizons — which could include a bid for governor next year. Shrugging it off: “And if it costs us an election, great, because what that gives us an opportunity to do is to resell to the American people what the conservative vision is, and we need to quit being scared of this and lead again for once in some of our lives,” Kinzinger told MSNBC.)

Second, there is an urgent need for a much wider crackdown on political speech, perhaps led by the Biden Administration and requiring the creation of new government agencies. In other words, all that conservative suppression that’s, er, not happening? We need more of it.)

February 2 Morning Edition

POLITICO ILLINOIS
— The Illinois Republican Party is at an inflection point that’s gone beyond the urban vs. rural debate. Now the state party, like its national counterpart, must decide whether it’s in lockstep with former President Donald Trump and his loyal supporters or head down a path that’s more inclusive. The direction it takes will be determined in large part on Saturday, when the state Republican Central Committee selects its next chairman. Current leader Tim Schneider is stepping down after five years in the position. A critical litmus test in replacing Schneider may be the candidates’ views of Rep. Adam Kinzinger and his vote to support Trump’s impeachment. Do they want to censure the 16th District congressman, as some Republicans have called for? Or do they agree to disagree with him, as Schneider has done. Mark Shaw, the Lake County Republican Party chairman who represents the more conservative arm of the party, has talked about censure with Republicans but told Playbook he hasn’t yet decided to take a public stand on the issue. “I have not taken a position yet on whether U.S. Rep. Adam Kinzinger should be admonished by the Republican Party for his actions and/or comments,” he said in a text. He would not elaborate on his thoughts about Kinzinger’s vote. Shaw is supported by former congressional candidate Jim Oberweis and grassroots conservatives, and he’s also taken heat from pro-Trumpers like Catalina Lauf, centrist state Sen. Sue Rezin, and others. Lauf and Rezin have taken issue with Shaw for endorsing Oberweis in the IL-14 GOP primary weeks before petitions were filed. That Shaw would engineer a campaign in a contested primary to favor a white man over a respected female state senator (Rezin) and a pro-Trump Latina (Lauf) has infuriated many Republicans across the state. Rezin wrote a letter to party leaders in November complaining about Shaw’s actions. And Lauf tweeted over the weekend, saying, “We need a leader who will listen to those on the ground, committed to grassroots, and who can actually lead the GOP in this State on a path forward.” The other candidates applying for state GOP chair say they don’t support Kinzinger’s impeachment vote but they also don’t back censure. “I strongly disagree with Congressman Kinzinger’s vote…but I also oppose an Illinois GOP censure of him,” former Illinois Gaming Board exec Don Tracy told Playbook. Tracy is a downstate Republican who has support from grassroots conservatives as well as centrists. He’s backed by Congressman Darin LaHood and Rodney Davis, state House Minority Leader Jim Durkin, and conservative voice John Tillman. Kendall County Board Chairman Scott Gryder, who has the support of state Rep. Keith Wheeler, echoed Tracy, saying, “We as a party need to focus on what unifies us which is electing candidates that support our small businesses, fight for the middle class, promote transparency in government and fight corruption.” – SHIA KAPOS and MARIA CARRASCO

https://www.chicagobusiness.com/greg-hinz-politics/adam-kinzinger-launching-gop-renewal-pac-will-gop-donors-back-it
(FROM THE ARTICLE: “There has been an undercurrent for a while of people who didn’t like Trump but didn’t have a place to go. Now Adam has provided a place,” says former state Republican Chairman Pat Brady. “I think there will be donors who appreciate what he’s doing and will contribute to it.” Among them will be Brady, who says he “absolutely” will write a check himself. . .Kinzinger’s main Illinois fundraiser is Lisa Wagner. She’s worked for numerous Republican officials here, most considered political moderates.)

GAO, I would have presented a jury with evidence that my Democrat GAO superiors paid their employees who were Democrat, minority, female, and/or younger far more than they paid their employees who were Republican, White, male, and/or older and who had similar or more education, work experience, and/or professional certifications and licenses.)
https://wgnradio.com/news/technology-news/google-antes-up-2-6m-to-settle-pay-job-discrimination-case/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The settlement announced Monday closes a 4-year-old case that the Labor Department brought as part its periodic reviews of the pay practices at federal government contractors such as Google. That inquiry resulted in accusations that during a period spanning from 2014 to 2017, Google paid female engineers less than men in similar positions. The pay discrepancies were cited in several Google offices in its home state of California, as well as at locations in Seattle and Kirkland, Washington. Google had fiercely contested the allegations as unfounded before reaching the settlement without acknowledging any wrongdoing.)

DAILY CALLER
— People Pretending To Do Journalism Are Mounting Pressure Campaigns To Silence Conservative Media – VARUN HUKERI (DIERSEN: I have been a member of the conservative media since 2000. Hate-filled Trump-hating Trump-haters will pressure the new Chairman of the Illinois Republican Party to stop me from sending out GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters, and failing that, to stop everyone from reading those newsletters. They will pressure him to put more pressure on Jim Jay, the Chairman of the DuPage County Republican Central Committee and Chris LeVan, the Chairman of the Milton Township Republican Organization, to stop me from sending out GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters, and failing that, to stop everyone from reading those newsletters. They will stress to Zay and to LeVan that because I am a Republican Precinct Committeeman, they have tremendous power to punish me for sending out the newsletters. They can call for the following to officially blacklist me: a) the chairmen of the other eight township organizations in DuPage County, b) all the Republican Precinct Committeemen in DuPage County and especially those in Milton Township including Amy Grant, Dan Cronin, Grant Eckhoff, Phill Suess, and Chris Heidorn, c) all the Republican elected officials in DuPage County and especially those who represent DuPage County’s 4th District , Milton Township, Wheaton, Wheaton’s West District, and my precinct, and d) the voters in DuPage County and especially those in DuPage County’s 4th District, Milton Township, Wheaton, Wheaton’s West District, and my precinct.)
https://dailycaller.com/2021/01/30/corporate-media-deplatform-conservative-fox-cnn-censorship-journalist/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Using the wreckage of the Jan. 6 Capitol riots as leverage, corporate media and the pundit class postured themselves as the de facto arbiters of public opinion, and promptly set their sights on conservative media. They took almost no time to pounce. Within hours of the riots, corporate media reporters and pundits pointed to the presence of Proud Boys at the Capitol riots and organizing on social media. They implied or outright called for more censorship and encouraged the White House to enact new domestic surveillance powers. Naturally, deplatforming media companies that do not adhere to the dominant liberal orthodoxy became a subject of serious discussion. Facebook’s former chief security officer Alex Stamos alleged during a Jan. 17 segment of CNN’s “Reliable Sources” that conservative influencers and media outlets have “abused” press freedom, and advocated deplatforming conservatives from both traditional and social media. “We have given a lot of leeway — both in the traditional media and on social media — to people who have a very broad range of political views,” Stamos told CNN host Brian Stelter. “We have to turn down the capability of these conservative influencers to reach these huge audiences.” Stamos singled out One America News Network (OANN) and Newsmax in particular and accused those outlets of promoting “violent extremism” in the same vein as the Islamic terrorist group ISIS. “We are going to have to figure out the OANN and Newsmax problem. These companies have freedom of speech, but I’m not sure we need Verizon, AT&T, Comcast and such bringing them into tens of millions of homes,” he told Stelter. CNN senior media reporter Oliver Darcy also commented on the “Reliable Sources” segment in a Jan. 17 tweet, adding that broadcasters and cable providers should be asked “about why they beam channels” like OANN and Newsmax. “Do they have any second thoughts about distributing these channels given their election denialism content?” Darcy asked. Earlier this month, Darcy questioned in a CNN Business article why cable providers continue to air conservative media after some outlets contested the results of the 2020 election. Darcy singled out Fox News in particular and claimed the network was just as “irresponsible and dangerous” as comparatively smaller outlets like OANN and Newsmax. “Sean Hannity and Tucker Carlson and Mark Levin and others are responsible for the lies they peddle to their audiences,” Darcy wrote. “But the TV companies that beam them into millions of homes around the country also bear some responsibility.” Fox News host Tucker Carlson responded to the accusation during a Jan. 7 segment of “Tucker Carlson Tonight” and noted that CNN was effectively “calling for censorship” of a competitor. “CNN staffers have already contacted the six major cable carriers in this country, the companies that carry our signal into your home, and pressured them to drop Fox News,” Carlson said. “Here you have a news company calling for censorship, a TV network demanding that media conglomerates ban its competitors.” No cable provider has openly discussed dropping Fox News or any other conservative outlet. Such a move would lead to intense backlash and almost certainly a legal challenge before the Federal Communications Commission over preferential treatment, according to Bloomberg. Targeting Fox News in particular could present a conflict of interest for CNN given that the two are competing news networks. Although unlikely, even one cable provider dropping Fox News could lead to a substantial loss in revenue for Fox Corporation. While Stelter and Darcy have not personally called for cable providers to drop media outlets, their actions constitute a pressure campaign against broadcasters to silence conservative media. CNN is also not alone in this effort. New York Times columnist Nicholas Kristof argued in a Jan. 13 editorial that “cable providers should be asked why they distribute channels that peddle lies.” Washington Post columnist Max Boot wrote in a Jan. 18 editorial that cable providers should “step in and kick Fox News off.” These developments are a response to the Jan. 6 pro-Trump riot at the Capitol, but corporate media outlets pressuring providers to silence conservative outlets is not new. After NBC News raised concerns about coverage of last year’s George Floyd riots from The Federalist, Google notified the conservative outlet in June that their website would be blocked from using Google’s ad platform. NBC News and Google later released contradictory messages in response to backlash. But the push to silence conservative media has since gained steam after multiple outlets were accused of promoting election misinformation that ultimately fueled the Capitol riot earlier this month. These efforts come after tech companies like Twitter and Facebook permanently suspended Trump’s social media accounts and purged thousands of conservative users. Corporate media has now provided a platform for Democratic lawmakers and progressive commentators who not only want to silence conservative media but also “deprogram” Trump supporters. Washington Post columnist Eugene Robinson and “1619 Project” lead writer Nikole Hannah-Jones likened Trump voters to “members of a cult” during an MSNBC segment Jan. 12 and insinuated that the 75 million people who voted for the former president would “have to be deprogrammed.” Even before the Capitol riot, California Democrats’ regional director David Atkins suggested in a series of tweets Nov. 17 that conservatives should be re-educated the way citizens of Nazi Germany and Japan were after World War II.)

NEW YORK TIMES
— 21 Men Accuse Lincoln Project Co-Founder of Online Harassment. John Weaver, a longtime G.O.P. operative who advised John McCain and John Kasich, made sexual overtures to young men, sometimes offering to help them get work in politics. – Maggie Astor and Danny Hakim (DIERSEN: I should write a book about LGBTQ-promoters, their operatives, and their dupes who claim to be religious, conservative, and/or Republican and who have worked the hardest since 2000 to destroy me.

https://www.nytimes.com/2021/01/31/us/politics/john-weaver-lincoln-project-harassment.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: John Weaver, a longtime Republican strategist and co-founder of the prominent anti-Trump group the Lincoln Project, has for years sent unsolicited and sexually provocative messages online to young men, often while suggesting he could help them get work in politics, according to interviews with 21 men who received them. His solicitations included sending messages to a 14-year-old, asking questions about his body while he was still in high school and then more pointed ones after he turned 18. These messages from Mr. Weaver, 61, who helped run John McCain’s presidential campaigns in 2000 and 2008 and John Kasich’s in 2016, did not lead to physical encounters except in one consensual case, and none of the men accused Mr. Weaver of unlawful conduct. Rather, many of them described feeling preyed upon by an influential older man in the field in which they wanted to work, and believing they had to engage with his repeated messaging or lose a professional opportunity. Mr. Weaver sent overt sexual solicitations to at least 10 of the men and, in the most explicit messages, offered professional and personal assistance in exchange for sex. He told one man he would “spoil you when we see each other,” according to a message reviewed by The New York Times. “Help you other times. Give advice, counsel, help with bills. You help me … sensually.”)

January 23 Morning Edition

GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— The six applicants for Illinois Republican Party (IRP) Chairman are Steve Anderson, Mike Fryzel, Scott Gryder, Steve Sauerberg, Mark Shaw, and Don Tracy. The IRP State Central Committee (SCC) will meet via Zoom at 10:00 AM this morning to determine the finalists. On Saturday, January 30, 2021, the IRP SCC will interview the finalists and select the new IRP Chairman by weighted vote. Those who want to have input on the determination should contact their representative on the IRP SCC.

Sadly, this process is a far cry from what happened in 2005. In 2005, as an Illinois Center Right Coalition Steering Committee member, I organized a candidate forum in Springfield the evening before the IRP SCC meeting at which the IRP SCC elected Andy McKenna. Candidate forum attendees included McKenna, Steve McGlynn, John Cox, and Jim Nalepa.

According to Jeff Berkowitz’s report, the IRP SCC meeting “attracted about 500 Republican activists, operatives, party functionaries, office holders and wannabees– including more than 150 County, Ward and Township Committeemen; State GOP Chairman candidates Andy McKenna, Jr., Steve McGlynn, Jim Oberweis, John Cox and Jim Nalepa. Andy McKenna, Jr., who is known for his father’s and perhaps his own fundraising prowess and business contacts and who ran in the Republican U. S. Senate Primary in 2004, garnering 14% and a 4th out of 7 candidates finish, won the State GOP chairmanship vote, primarily because of the backing of the Illinois Republican Party Finance Committee, i.e., in large part the Chicago Metropolitan Republican Business Interests and Donors. McGlynn, who had campaigned vigorously for the position, withdrew prior to the vote when he saw he could not get a majority of the SCC weighted vote. Nalepa, who drew acclaim and cheers from the assembled for his stirring speech, came in a very distant second to McKenna– who, in addition to the aforementioned money interests, had the New Republican Establishment behind him– Lahood-Kirk, for sure, and most likely Cross. Of course, the New Republican Establishment and money interests go together like ham and cheese.”

If I was still the TAPROOT Republicans Chairman, the organization would host a candidate forum on Friday, January 29, 2021. Questions that I would ask the candidates include: a) If selected, what would you do to keep the 2,446,891 in Illinois who voted for Trump to continue to vote for Republicans and b) If selected, what would you do discourage promotion of the following: reparations, BLM, LGBTQ, dependency on government, dependency on charity, abortion, mass/illegal immigration, booze, gambling, pot, and other vices, more gun controls, patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination? – Dave Diersen

— DIERSEN HEADLINE: Democrats want all the citizens of all the countries of the world to come to America if they agree to vote for Democrats. Ever-increasingly, Democrats give more preference to citizens of foreign countries over citizens of America, and especially to citizens of foreign countries who are minority, female, younger, poor, liberal/moderate, LGBTQ, and/or non-Christian.

— Kraulidis Faces Criticism For Attending Jan. 6 Pro-Trump Rally. A public comment about Will Co. Board member Debbie Kraulidis called her a “conspiracy theorist who believes the election was rigged.” – Abhinanda Datta (DIERSEN: Soon, if not already, hate-filled Trump-hating Trump-haters will officially call for your municipality, your township, your county, Illinois, America, your Republican township/ward/county party organizations, and the Illinois Republican Party to get rid of Trump-supporters once and for all.

https://patch.com/illinois/plainfield/kraulidis-faces-criticism-attending-jan-6-pro-trump-rally
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Kraulidis spoke at the meeting and said that accusations stating she was part of the violence were “false” and “ridiculous.” She said she never went near the Capitol grounds or inside the building. Kraulidis also said she and the those she was traveling with apparently found out about the break-ins and were at their hotel. She said the violence was “inexcusable.” “We were absolutely and totally shocked to find out what has happened,” Kraulidis said.)

NEW YORK TIMES
— 10 Republicans Voted to Impeach Trump. The Backlash Has Been Swift. The House Republicans who voted to charge President Donald J. Trump with inciting the Capitol riot are facing a fleet of primary challengers, censures and other rebukes from their party. – Reid J. Epstein and Katie Glueck (DIERSEN: I should write a book those who have punished me the most since 2000 and the reasons why. Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct, their major donors, their fundraisers, their political consultants, their campaign managers, their campaign staff members, and their campaign volunteers who have lost elections have punished me the most.

https://www.nytimes.com/2021/01/23/us/politics/republican-who-wont-vote-to-impeach-trump.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: For Mr. Katko and Representatives Adam Kinzinger of Illinois, Anthony Gonzalez of Ohio, David Valadao of California, and Fred Upton and Mr. Meijer of Michigan, all Republicans who voted for impeachment and hail from states likely to lose seats in this year’s redistricting process, the shapes of the districts they may seek to represent in 2022 have yet to be determined. Democratic state legislators in New York and Illinois could draw Mr. Katko and Mr. Kinzinger into districts represented by fellow incumbent Republicans, potentially cutting off a path for a Trumpian insurgent, while commissions will determine district lines in California, Michigan and Ohio. Gene Koprowski, a conservative filmmaker who filed to run against Mr. Kinzinger, said he did so to start raising money but he is waiting for the Illinois legislature to redraw its congressional district maps before formally beginning a campaign.)

(FROM POLITICO: DuPage, Kane, Kendall, and Will counties are among only nine counties in Illinois that saw population growth since 2010. That means the vast majority of Illinois’ population losses have occurred outside of Cook County, the collar counties and Kendall County (which make up the CMAP region). Top destinations for residents leaving Illinois include neighboring states (Indiana and Wisconsin) and high-population states (California, Florida and Texas). The Chicago region’s growth rate is slower than other major metro areas. Compared to the 50 largest metropolitan areas in the U.S., the Chicago region ranked 46th in growth rate since 2010.)

We asked him to come on the show tonight, of course he didn’t because he’s afraid. But we thought deeply about what he said we’ll respond to it after the break. . .We told you about this last night and we mentioned specifically a Member of Congress from Illinois, a character called Brad Schneider. Schneider says he’d like to pass something called the Domestic Terrorism Prevention Act. Apparently, Brad Schneider was watching last night. As you hear his reply, ask yourself: is this the guy you want in charge of preventing domestic terrorism? Here’s how he responded, quote: “Do I want to see increased monitoring of the types of violent extremist domestic terrorists that attacked the Capitol leaving five people dead, including a police officer? Absolutely. The real question is why Tucker Carlson is okay with their deaths?” Right. So if you have questions about handing Brad Schneider, whoever that guy is, the keys to your country, voiding the Bill of Rights because Brad Schneider demands that you do after the insurrection on January 6th, then you’re killing police officers. You want people to die and maybe you need your civil liberties taken away. We’ll see. Now if this all sounds familiar, it is because every time something horrible happens, creepy little demagogues like Brad Schneider rush to the microphone and tell you, I’m sorry, you can’t be free anymore. It happened after 9/11. 9/11? What does it have to do with January 6th? It seems like kind of an odd comparison. In fact, so disproportionate it’s laughable and offensive to the 3,000 people who died on 9/11. But Members of Congress are invoking anyway, by the way, from both parties. In the same briefing where Brad Schneider gave his stupid and scary opinions, another Member of Congress, a former F.B.I. agent called Brian Fitzpatrick said we must adopt the same attitude toward domestic terrorism that we had toward al Qaeda after 9/11.)

— The Conservative Path Forward in the Biden-Harris Era – Josh Hammer (DIERSEN: Who are the conservative leaders in Illinois, in your county, in your township, and in your municipality? How often do they write articles or draw your attention to articles that promote the traditional family, right to life, immigration, illegal drugs, Second Amendment, and/or equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) planks in the Republican Party platform? How often do they write articles or draw your attention to articles that oppose the promotion of 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/or age discrimination?)
https://www.creators.com/read/josh-hammer/01/21/the-conservative-path-forward-in-the-biden-harris-era
(FROM THE ARTICLE: It is thus incumbent upon well-positioned bastions of conservative legal clout, centered around Texas’s Office of the Solicitor General, to aggressively litigate and seek recourse in the courts. . .Next, conservatives must do the hard work of actually building up the digital and corporate infrastructure to push back in earnest against Big Tech, “woke” capital and the broader “cancel culture” threat to the American way of life. . .Finally, exiled conservatives must continue to build a constructive, substantive conservative agenda that is politically appealing and can actually win at the ballot box. We know the path forward: an unassertive defense of traditional American bourgeois values; opposition to the excesses of neo-Marxist “woke”-ism; a political economics that is unafraid to use government to channel productive market activity and support those in true need; unapologetic moral prioritization of the rule of law; temperance in foreign policy; and sobriety about the limits of immigration assimilation. That is a winning political platform.)

https://www.chicagotribune.com/columns/john-kass/ct-civil-liberties-kass-20210121-iibqjzxne5abzpebq5z4zokykm-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: But I did hope for more substance from his speech, delivered with tens of thousands of federalized troops on guard against violence. Why? Because Big Tech has been censoring its platform users and stifling dissent, which protects Biden’s politics. And because his party’s thought leaders in the compliant Washington establishment press corps and elsewhere continue to shriek about fascism while continuing their push to “deplatform” or “deprogram” dissenting voices. And mostly because tens of millions of Americans who did not vote for Joe Biden needed reassurance that they did not get. They’re worried about the cultural purge targeting them for doing what once was supremely American: standing up to speak their minds. And so, what was missing in Joe Biden’s speech? A full-throated commitment to defending the core values of the Constitution and Bill of Rights, which include the right of all Americans to speak their minds without fear of retribution. And I don’t mean wing nuts calling for violence of any kind.)

https://www.theepochtimes.com/biden-admin-embraces-racial-equity-ideology-in-slew-of-executive-action-announcements_3664911.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The incoming Biden administration has announced a series of executive actions that open the door for instituting the quasi-Marxist critical theory across the federal government. President Joe Biden would sign documents to “launch a whole-of-government initiative to advance racial equity,” his transition team said in a Jan. 20 release. Equity means equality of outcome, a concept tied to the critical theories that slice up society into identity groups based on race, gender, sexual proclivities, and others, while positing which groups are oppressed and which are the oppressors, similarly to how Marxism labels people as oppressors or the oppressed based on class. “The president-elect will sign an Executive Order beginning the work of embedding equity across federal policymaking and rooting out systemic racism and other barriers to opportunity from federal programs and institutions,” the release said. “The Executive Order will define equity as the consistent and systematic fair, just, and impartial treatment of all individuals, including individuals who belong to underserved communities, such as Black, Latino, Indigenous and Native American persons, Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders, and other persons of color; LGBTQ+ persons; people with disabilities; religious minorities, persons who live in rural areas; and persons otherwise affected by persistent poverty or inequality.” While the release talks about fair treatment of all, the proposals indicate some people will be more equal than others based on whether their demographics fit the administration’s profile of “historically underserved and marginalized.” Biden will direct all federal agencies “to undertake a baseline review of the state of equity within their agency and deliver an action plan within 200 days to address unequal barriers to opportunity in agency policies and programs.” The Office of Management and Budget will be tasked with “working to more equitably allocate federal resources to empower and invest in communities of color and other underserved communities.” The administration also wants to improve access to government benefits and services, “for example, by reducing language access barriers” and having agencies “engage with communities who have been historically underrepresented, underserved, and harmed by federal policies.” The administration wants to look into new ways to check whether its policies “advance equity.” Biden will also reverse the September executive order of then-President Donald Trump that banned federal agencies, contractors, subcontractors, and grantees from instructing their employees to follow the tenets of the critical theories. Trump’s order cited the work of Christopher Rufo, director of the Discovery Institute’s Center on Wealth and Poverty, who has been waging a “one-man war” against critical race theory in American government. Rufo has repeatedly warned of the intrusion of the ideology into civil society after obtaining documents showing the theory being pushed in various institutions. In a Jan. 20 release, Rufo called the theory a “grave threat to the American way of life” that “traffics in the pernicious concepts of race essentialism, race stereotyping, and race-based segregation—all under a false pursuit of ‘social justice.’” The theories produced an industry of consultants and speakers who get hired by corporations and government agencies to train their employees on themes such as “implicit bias” and “white privilege.” Trump’s order said the concepts of the theory are “divisive” and lead to “race and sex stereotyping and scapegoating.” Biden’s release said such trainings are “important and needed.” Rufo said the trainings “advance the ideology through cult-like indoctrination, intimidation, and harassment.” He announced in his January release a coalition of law firms and legal foundations called “Stop Critical Race Theory,” saying it has already filled three lawsuits with the goal of having the Supreme Court rule that programs based on the theory violate the 1964 Civil Rights Act and the Constitution. “When we are victorious in the courts, it will have an immediate ripple effect through every school, government agency, and private employer in the nation. We will effectively abolish critical race theory programs from American life,” he said.)

https://www.newsmax.com/politics/social-media/2021/01/19/id/1006337/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Social media giants crossed a threshold in banning President Donald Trump and an array of his supporters — and now face a quandary on defining their efforts to remain politically neutral while promoting democracy and free speech. After Jan. 6, with its unprecedented violence in the seat of Congress, Trump was banned for allegedly inciting the rioters — on platforms including Facebook, Twitter, Google-owned YouTube and Snapchat. The alternative network Parler, which drew many Trump backers, was forced offline by Amazon’s web services unit. The bans broke new ground for internet firms but also shattered the longstanding notion that they are simply neutral platforms open for all to express any views. “Banning Donald Trump was a crossing of a Rubicon for social media firms, and they can’t go back,” said Samuel Woolley, a professor and researcher with the University of Texas Center for Media Engagement. “Up to now their biggest goal was to promote free speech, but recent events have shown they can no longer do this.”)

WALL STREET JOURNAL
— Trump Has Discussed Starting a New Political Party – Andrew Restuccia (DIERSEN: From what I see, Democrat plant, Libertarian plant, Green plant, Independent plant, and RINO leaders of Republican organizations a) despise/hate Trump supporters, b) want Trump to start a new political party, and c) will use the Capitol Riot to destroy the Republican Party once and for all.)
https://www.wsj.com/livecoverage/trump-impeachment-biden-inauguration/card/90pPMzFPqr5fMzg1Bkbs
(FROM THE ARTICLE: It’s unclear how serious Mr. Trump is about starting a new party, which would require a significant investment of time and resources. The president has a large base of supporters, some of whom were not deeply involved in Republican politics prior to Mr. Trump’s 2016 campaign. Third parties have typically failed to draw enough support to play a major role in national elections. Any effort to start a new party would likely face intense opposition from Republican party officials, who would chafe at the thought of Mr. Trump peeling off support from GOP candidates.)

KMJN
— NBC News Poll: Voters Bleak on US Track, Future (DIERSEN: From what I see, the more of the following that you are, the more bleak that your future is: law enforcement officer, Trump supporter, conservative, patriotic, Republican, American, White, male, older, heterosexual, married, non-poor, gun owner, Christian, Protestant, Italian American, German American, and/or if your ancestors have been in America for a long time.)
https://www.kmjnow.com/news/nbc-news-poll-voters-bleak-on-us-track-future/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: More than 70% of voters think the country is on the wrong track and that the next four years will remain politically divided — while a majority are pessimistic about America’s future, a new poll showed. The NBC News poll released a day before the Wednesday inauguration of Joe Biden paints a bleak picture of a worried nation. Here’s the breakdown: 73% say the country is on the wrong track. 73% say the United States will remain divided in the next four years. 53% say they’re worried and pessimistic about the nation’s future — the first time that response has been given to the question since 1998. The poll also showed voters find Biden likable and ethical, but didn’t give him high marks on the economy or for sharing their positions on the issues. 39% gave Biden a “4” or “5” on a five-point scaled on the economy; 38% gave him those high marks on sharing their positions on the issues. 55% of voters give Biden a “4” or “5” on a five-point scale of being knowledgeable and experienced enough to handle the presidency, and 53% as being easygoing and likable. 47% gave Biden high marks for having the ability to handle a crisis, and 45% give him high marks for having high personal and ethical standards.)

DAILY BEAST
— Fox News Launches ‘Purge’ to ‘Get Rid of Real Journalists,’ Insiders Say ‘BLOOD BATH’ Fox laid off at least 16 staffers, including Chris Stirewalt, who defended the election-night call that pissed off Trump. Insiders say the firings are part of an ideological purge. – Diana Falzone and Lachlan Cartwright
https://www.thedailybeast.com/fox-news-launches-purge-to-get-rid-of-real-journalists
(FROM THE ARTICLE: But a dozen current and recently departed Fox News employees who spoke with The Daily Beast all said the “purge”—as a few characterized it—was part of the network’s larger effort to pivot its website from straight-news reporting to right-wing opinion content in the mold of Fox’s primetime programming. “There is a concerted effort to get rid of real journalists,” said one recently departed Fox staffer. “They laid capable people off who were actual journalists and not blind followers.” Others said it was an attempt to silence leakers from speaking to outside media about the changes being instituted by Porter Berry, a former producer for Hannity and Bill O’Reilly, who recently transitioned from the TV side to running Fox’s digital properties. “Porter’s uncomfortable around and is suspicious of experienced editors,” one Fox News insider remarked to The Daily Beast. “They make him feel inept because his background is entirely in TV.” “Porter is at the helm,” one current employee declared of the layoffs, while a recently departed staffer said: “This is all Porter. Both an ideological purge and a purge of people he was threatened by.” “It’s essentially the final nail in the coffin for digital journalism at Fox,” another recently departed staffer declared. Though, this former staffer noted, the shift to focusing on right-wing opinion has paid off for Berry. “What has slightly been working for him are recaps of the network’s primetime opinion shows,” the source said, and so the desire is for more “cheap labor to write a dozen 250 word recaps of the network’s primetime shows.”)
