— They have opened the Gates of Hell and it’s a one-way passage. – George Rasley
https://www.conservativehq.org/post/they-have-opened-the-gates-of-hell-and-it-s-a-one-way-passage
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The entire American tech stack, which enables Americans to buy, sell, pay, and communicate, has been weaponized in furtherance of a radical anti-freedom agenda. This is the single most chilling week in my lifetime, and America’s since the Civil War. If you don’t comply with the Left’s dogma and agenda, your ability to provide for your family, communicate with your friends, express your once-free-opinions, and live an American life, will come grinding to a halt. The glibness with which this fascist playbook has been enacted by billionaire boys-with-dictatorial-toys, the power-hungry Democratic Party, and their virtue signaling cultural proxies, only serves to underscore the deep fractures, incompatibility, and irreconcilable differences between the two visions of and for America: An exceptional, but imperfect nation, which has incrementally improved on all dimensions since inception, and has done more good for humanity than all nations in history in the aggregate.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Twitter on Sunday temporarily suspended the account of Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, the Republican U.S. Congresswoman from Georgia who has expressed racist views and support for QAnon conspiracy theories online. Greene’s account was suspended “without explanation,” she said in a statement, while also condemning big tech companies for “silencing” conservative views. The 46-year-old businesswoman and political newcomer was elected to represent Georgia’s 14th District in November. She’s gained large followings on social media in part by posting incendiary videos and comments and has also embraced QAnon, a far-right U.S. conspiracy theory centered around the debunked belief that President Donald Trump is waging a secret campaign against enemies in the “deep state” and a child sex trafficking ring they say is linked to Democrats. Before noon Sunday, Greene posted a clip from an interview with a local news outlet in which she condemned Georgia election officials and expressed support for debunked theories claiming that voting machines, absentee ballots and other issues led to widespread fraud in the state during the presidential election.)

— Why Democrats demonize good GOPers too – Miranda Devine
(DIERSEN: Of course, ever-increasingly, hate-filled conservative-hating conservative-haters will use the Capitol Riot to do more and more and more to get rid of conservatives once and for all.)
https://nypost.com/2021/01/17/why-democrats-demonize-good-gopers-too-devine/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: There’s a reason why blameless Republicans and Trump voters are being tarred with the same brush as the Capitol rioters. It’s not enough just to arrest and prosecute actual lawbreakers who smashed their way into to the Capitol. No, anyone who supported the president, voted for him or worked for his administration, now has to be hunted down and purged. They’re losing their jobs, having their insurance canceled, their book contracts and recording deals torn up. They are being banned from flying or banking or speaking on social media. A petition at Harvard University even demands Trump staffers have their degrees revoked. A feverish mood is afoot, evoking the spirit of McCarthyism and the Salem witch trials, in which irrationality and hysteria point fingers at the innocent. But it is not just an emotional overreaction to the frightening events of Jan. 6. It is a deliberate tactic designed to intimidate conservatives and silence their protests when the Biden administration radically remakes the country, as it has promised to do from Day One. Democrats and their allies in corporate America are preemptively taking out the opposition because they know that their prescriptions don’t work and are opposed by the majority of Americans. They will now have control of both houses of Congress and the White House and are working fast to establish one-party rule — including stacking the Supreme Court to remove the remaining check on their power, stacking the Senate by creating two new states, and stacking the nation’s demography with unchecked immigration. Dismantling border protection is exactly the worst thing to do at a time when our health system is hard-pressed coping with the coronavirus and the economy is weak. Even if Biden delays his promised implementation of sweeping immigration reform, he has signaled his intent, and caravans of hopeful souls in search of a better life already are on the move in Honduras, in what The Washington Post likes to call a “super spreader event” when reporting on any gathering involving Republicans. Nancy Pelosi also has revived her H.R. 1. election “reforms,” which failed to pass the Republican-controlled Senate in 2017 and which include such beauties as universal mail-in balloting, same-day registration, weakened voter ID requirements, early voting, doxing of donors and legalized ballot harvesting. H.R.1. is what you call pouring fuel on a fire. Pelosi also has added statehood for Washington, DC, to her progressive wish list as a “sacred” right, and who will stop her? The only levers we have left to oppose this authoritarian power grab is protest and free speech. Hence the crackdown on free speech by a partisan Big Tech oligopoly that wields the ever-present threat of arbitrary censorship over conservatives in the public square. Just as the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis was the pretext to reanimate racial division in an election year, so, too, is the Capitol riot a golden opportunity for the left to criminalize dissent. “There are millions of Americans, almost all white, almost all Republicans, who somehow need to be deprogrammed,” Washington Post columnist Eugene Robinson told MSNBC last week in the wake of the Capitol riot. In other words, all Trump voters are guilty by association. They are seditionists, insurrectionists and white supremacists. They deserve excommunication, deplatforming, and reputational and financial ruin. CNN’s intolerance tzar, Don Lemon, last week lumped in the 74 million Americans who voted for Donald Trump with the Klu Klux Klan and Nazis. China-lovin’ Rep. Eric Swalwell compared Trump to Osama bin Laden. Corporate America is heeding the message. Loews over the weekend caved into Twitter activists and canceled Republican Sen. Josh Hawley’s fundraiser in one of its hotels in February. Simon and Schuster already had canceled Hawley’s book contract after he voted to hold up certification of Joe Biden’s victory. Musician Ariel Pink had his recording contract canceled because he attended the Trump rally on Jan. 6, even though he says he did not march to the Capitol. Business journal Forbes warned companies that hire former Trump officials such as Kayleigh McEnany or Kellyanne Conway that they will be blacklisted. Twitter boss Jack Dorsey told his staff in a video leaked to Project Veritas that banning Trump was just the first step in his purge of Wrong Think. “This is much bigger than one account.” None of this makes discourse safer. It just drives it underground, where it becomes more toxic. But the aim is to dehumanize conservatives so that any cruelty can be inflicted on them and they are powerless to resist. “Unity Joe” Biden himself likened his political opponents, Sens. Ted Cruz and Josh Hawley, to Nazi propagandist Joseph Goebbels last week. He has always played up his image as a consensus politician able to reach across the aisle. That vapor trail of comity is probably what propelled him to victory. On Wednesday, he will have the authority to make good on that promise. So far, it doesn’t look promising. At least there was a small victory for free speech Sunday. Fledgling social-media platform Parler is back online a week after being closed down in a pincer movement by Amazon, Apple and Google.)

House Republicans split 197-10 against Pelosi’s second impeachment effort. Only in the delusional world of the Left could a vote in which 197 people were on one side and only 10 were on the other be described as the beginning of a civil war.)

— Apathy Is Destroying Our Liberty – Michael Dorstewitz
https://www.newsmax.com/michaeldorstewitz/liberty-parler-twitter-liberty/2021/01/13/id/1005419/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: So, too, we’ve been slowly losing our liberty, and too many Americans don’t seem to care. The storming of the Capitol building a week ago accelerated that process beyond anything we could imagine a year ago. Conservative columnist and talk radio host Dennis Prager observed that in 1933, the Nationalist Socialists (Nazis) blamed the burning of the Reichstag, Germany’s parliament building, on Communists. They used it to drum the Communist Party out of existence and silence the voices of its members. Similarly, after the Jan. 6 riot on Capitol Hill, the mainstream press, social media and Democratic leaders silenced any claims that didn’t echo the parry line — even to the point of censoring the president of the United States.)

https://www.chicagotribune.com/news/breaking/ct-local-trump-supporters-capitol-riot-20210112-ct7axn2hmjcnbmv5b6zqtunt2q-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: While Illinois Republicans have denounced the violence in Washington, some have declined to hold Trump responsible in their public statements. U.S. Rep. Adam Kinzinger of the 16th District is a notable exception: He has called for Trump to be removed from office via the 25th Amendment. Jim Zay, head of the DuPage Republican Party, is another. He wrote in a Facebook post the day of the riot that “if anyone is injured or worse it will be on the hands of the president.” He was uneasy about a rift developing between hard-core Trump supporters and the rest of the Republican Party, though he hoped most would stay even if Trump tries to build an independent political movement. “We’re the party of Lincoln, we’re the party of Reagan,” Zay said. “If people think they’re going to form a third party for Donald Trump, good luck.”)

Today we have fewer employees than we did 10 years ago, even though we have more people. If and when tax and fee increases are needed, we should protect existing residents first, shifting as much of the tax burden as possible to newcomers (real estate transfer tax) and visitors (sales taxes). However, we need to remain competitive with other cities. Also, we should look at how much we charge nonresidents to use our library and other city services.)

— Why ‘Pivot Counties’ That Stuck With Trump May Be a Warning for Democrats More than 200 counties flipped from Barack Obama to Donald J. Trump in 2016. Joe Biden won only 25 of them back. – Trip Gabriel
https://www.nytimes.com/2020/12/22/us/politics/trump-voters-swing-counties.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: It is a region of small, postindustrial cities that have suffered manufacturing losses, where largely white voters, after years of voting for Democrats, embraced Mr. Trump’s nationalism and culturally backward-gazing message. “You can look at the part of the country where I live and where I serve, there is a feeling they have been left behind and we haven’t delivered,” said Representative Cheri Bustos, a Democrat whose northwest Illinois district includes nine Obama-Trump counties. All of them stayed with Mr. Trump this year. Ms. Bustos, who was chair of the Democrats’ House campaign committee, barely won re-election herself. She said Democrats needed to bring concrete benefits to farmers in the same way Franklin D. Roosevelt delivered rural electrification. Despite expectations that Mr. Biden, with his Everyday Joe persona, would win back many blue-collar voters, he appears to have done worse with them than Hillary Clinton or Mr. Obama in both of his elections.)

— Shipping delays mounting as USPS struggles with ‘historic’ holiday volume. – LAUREN ZUMBACH (DIERSEN: Because of complaints about slow delivery of Christmas mail in 1965, the Democrats who ran the Post Office got a budget increase that resulted in the Democrats who ran the Park Forest Post Office hiring me in November of 1966. They could not find a qualified Democrat, minority, female, or veteran who would take the job. I worked a) part-time while I was a full-time student at UIC 1966-1968 and at NIU in 1969 and b) full-time during the summers of 1967, 1968 and 1969. They outrageously succeeded in forcing me to resign in September of 1969 by falsely claiming that I would not be available to work enough part-time hours. I was available to work all Mondays, all Fridays, all Saturdays, all Sundays, all holidays, and all days that NIU was not in session. My Democrat Park Forest Post Office supervisor made it clear that he strongly disapproved of my following demographics: Republican, conservative, Missouri Synod Lutheran, 100% German American, union member, non-poor, college student, draft avoider, Crete resident since 1948, owner of a 1966 Pontiac Tempest Sprint, then a 1968 Oldsmobile 442, and then a 1969 Dodge Charger SE, and my ancestors had been in America since 1844.)

I took classes in downtown Chicago 1972-1980 and 1992-1997 and my wife took classes in the Loop 1978-1986. In 1984, we paid a big premium for the lot that we had our built on in Wheaton because we could walk to/from the Wheaton train station. In 1978 we paid a big premium for a home in Wheaton because we could walk to/from the College Avenue train station. In 1974 and 1976, I paid premiums for condos in downtown Chicago because I could walk to/from work and classes. In 1972, I bought a new town home in University Park in part because it was a relatively easy commute to my job in Harvey.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Other Republican lawmakers still hope to contest the results at a joint session of Congress on Jan. 6, when federal law requires Congress to count and certify the results of each state’s electoral vote. Rep. Mo Brooks (R., Ala.) said he would press ahead with a plan to object to votes in multiple states. It takes one member of the House and one senator to formally object and force votes in both chambers. Majorities in the House and Senate have to agree for the challenge to be successful, an extremely unlikely prospect given that Democrats control the House, but the effort could set the stage for a final public fight over the tally. I can either fight for honest and accurate elections, or I can join the surrender caucus,” Mr. Brooks said in an interview on Tuesday. “I prefer to fight for honest and fair and accurate elections that are the underpinning of any republic.”)

GOVERNMENT EXECUTIVE
— Broad Coalition of Employee, Advocacy Groups Makes Last-Ditch Effort to Convince Congress to Block Schedule F. With just days remaining until the latest government shutdown deadline, more than 60 organizations are pressuring Democratic lawmakers to ensure spending legislation includes a provision preventing the Trump administration from politicizing the civil service. – ERICH WAGNER (DIERSEN: Are/were you a policy maker? In Diersen v. GAO, GAO constructively argued that I was a policy maker, and therefore, that GAO could terminate me because I opposed GAO’s policies of political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, retaliation, and up-or-out. My Democrat GAO superiors never promoted me to GS-14. Only GS-14s determined job assignments, made pay-for-performance decisions, made promotion decisions, etc.)

Hanson v. LeVan, 7th Cir., No. 19-1840 (July 21, 2020). No Qualified Immunity for Terminations Due to Political Affiliation – Douglas H. Duerr (DIERSEN: Are/were you a policy maker? In Diersen v.

(FROM THE ARTICLE: According to the allegations in the complaint, only the township assessor and the chief deputy assessors had the authority and responsibility to make or provide input into policy decisions. The plaintiffs alleged that they merely applied computer programs and fulfilled technical requirements in performing their job duties of assessing property, thereby exercising, at most, professional discretion. In reviewing the applicable state law and a prior court decision, there was no legal basis for concluding that the plaintiffs had a legal obligation or right to make policy. The appellate court determined that the law was well-established within the 7th Circuit that public servants employed in non-policymaking positions cannot be subjected to termination or other adverse employment actions based on their political affiliation. . .Professional Pointer: While the defendant will have an opportunity to avoid trial by presenting sufficient evidence that the deputy assessor plaintiffs were in fact involved in policymaking, this decision highlights the limitations on termination of government employees due to political interests. Although elected officials are, to some degree, represented by their subordinate employees and may worry that their image and effectiveness could be undermined by employees who prefer a different candidate or political party, termination of such employees must be based on job performance or other factors unrelated to politics. Generally, only those who are intimately involved in making policy can be required to be politically aligned with the elected official.)
