https://www.chicagotribune.com/news/ct-ice-chicago-immigration-santuary-cities-raids-20190926-ngmxwhe5fzb6jmbgwelfhppati-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: “Of course we know that we’ve hurt (ICE agents) and hurt their ability to do their job here in the city, but so be it,” Lightfoot told the crowd of protesters who gathered around her. “That’s the point.” Chicago’s sanctuary city ordinance bars police from giving federal ICE officials access to people in local custody.

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Harvard economist Raj Chetty says that, for white Americans, achieving the American dream is like climbing an income ladder. “If you’ve climbed up in one generation, that’s basically where you’re going to start the next generation, and then you can climb up further.” But for black Americans, and black men in particular, “it’s like being on a treadmill, where even after you’ve climbed up in one generation, there are tremendous structural forces that make it highly likely you’re going to fall back down in the next generation and then you have to make the climb again.”)

— Consequential GOP class of 1994 all but disappears – REID WILSON (DIERSEN: Democrats and RINOs used the Contract with America to get rid of GAO’s employees who were White, male, and/or non-veteran who GAO had not promoted to GS-13 (currently $98,198) by age 25, GS-14 (currently $116,040) by age 30, GS-15 (currently $136,495) by age 35, and Senior Executive Service (currently $165,500) by age 40.) 
https://thehill.com/homenews/house/462705-consequential-gop-class-of-1994-all-but-disappears
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Twenty-five years ago Friday, 367 Republicans running for Congress lined up on the Capitol steps on a clear September day weeks before the midterm elections to sign the Contract with America. . .When the lawmakers signed Gingrich’s contract, Republicans had no experience running the legislative branch. The last Republican Speaker of the House, Joseph Martin, had died 26 years before Gingrich took control. Gingrich pledged that a new way of business was coming to Washington, seizing power from committee chairmen who had never held a gavel themselves and making himself the most powerful Speaker in generations, a trend his successors have followed. Gingrich “was making all sorts of proclamations, and he was saying the presidency didn’t really matter. For a moment or two, we thought he might be right,” said Pat Griffin, Clinton’s director of legislative affairs at the time. “We were feeling terribly depressed, everybody was pointing fingers at everyone else.” For the next two years, the new Republican majority forced Democrats and the Clinton White House to react to their agenda. Clinton, his reelection hopes suddenly in doubt, moved to compromise with Republicans where he could and set himself apart from an increasingly unpopular Congress — including his own party — where possible.)

https://www.thedailybeast.com/operation-targeting-journalists-seen-unfavorable-to-trump-is-allied-with-the-white-house-nyt
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Allies of President Trump have reportedly constructed an operation to discredit journalists viewed as being unfavorable towards the president, the New York Times reports. The operation run by conservative operatives has reportedly scoured more than a decade of social media history from reporters who are seen as hostile towards Trump, in order to find potentially damaging posts that can be used against them in the court of public opinion. According to four people familiar with the operation who spoke to the Times, the operation has compiled dossiers of information on journalists from some of the country’s most prominent news organizations with the intent of publicizing damaging social media posts or statements.)

— Opt Out Hosts a Rally to Prevent the Selling of Marijuana – Aysha Ashley (DIERSEN: The many outstanding speakers at this outstanding event included Coyne, Gustin, and McCluskey. The many attendees included Anderson, Klaeren, Leong, Prueter, Rudolph, and Ruhl.)
https://www.nctv17.com/news/opt-out-hosts-a-rally-to-prevent-legalizing-marijuana/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: “No” to Selling Recreational Marijuana  Opt Out Naperville, a newly formed resident group, hosted a rally with around 300 people at Central Park to urge City Council to vote “no” on selling recreational marijuana. “If they are not willing to opt out permanently, then let’s opt out and then send a referendum vote to the people and let the people decide what they want here,” said Jennifer Bruzan Taylor, organizer of the rally. “We have nine people on the dais at city council. This decision will shape the entire community, the future of it.” Council Members And it’s the future generation that some council members are concerned about. “We want to send a message to our young people. Our young people need our leadership. We had two young men from the high school level come and speak in front of the city council and they’re speech was all about opting out. And we as City Council need to be leaders and I think we should be,” said Councilwoman Patty Gustin. The Speakers Two high school students joined the multiple speakers who were there including a doctor, community youth pastor, and a recovered marijuana user. “I came from a really solid family, I came from good morals, good convictions. And I spent the next almost 18 years of my life chasing recovery because of the very first time I smoked marijuana,” said speaker Nick Gore. . .Opt Out But in the local society, others do not want this to happen. “I don’t think people want to come to the Thursday night band show concerts in the summer with the smell of marijuana in the air. I don’t think we want to go to the parks and bring our children with the smell of marijuana in the air,” said attendee Joan Dupre. Opt Out Naperville plans to attend Tuesday’s City Council meeting.)

https://www.dailyherald.com/news/20190831/rally-urges-naperville-to-opt-out-of-legalized-marijuana-sales
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Close to 200 Naperville residents opposed to the possibility of the city eventually allowing the sale of recreational marijuana held a rally downtown Saturday urging city officials to “opt out.” “Naperville has built its reputation over the years as a family friendly community,” said Jennifer Bruzan Taylor, one of the rally’s organizers. “There is nothing family friendly about marijuana.” Speakers at the rally included doctors, city council members, parents and community organizers who said the city would see a rise in crime, drug use by youths and mental health problems if recreational sales of marijuana were allowed. “We’ve heard from expert after expert you get expanded drug use, especially among young people, in communities that allow marijuana sales,” said Naperville City Councilman Kevin Coyne.)

https://www.dailyherald.com/news/20190831/inclusion-or-indoctrination-how-opposing-sides-view-teaching-lgbtq-history-in-schools
(FROM THE ARTICLE: “The foundational issue is the leftist presuppositions about the nature and morality of homosexual activity,” said Laurie Higgins, cultural issues writer for the Illinois Family Institute. “The left relies on the assumption that homosexuality and opposite-sex identification are analogous to race, which is absurd. This is when education is transformed into indoctrination.” Higgins said the law is problematic because it doesn’t specify when LGBTQ history can be taught. The group vehemently opposes teaching such material in elementary schools. “If kids can’t understand the foundational assumptions, it is age-inappropriate,” she said. “It would be acceptable, if the teachers agreed to spend equal time on having students study the best resources on both sides of the (LGBTQ) debate in high school.”)

— Illinois GOP group shares, then deletes meme labeling minority congresswomen ‘Jihad Squad’ – OWEN DAUGHERTY (DIERSEN: From Mark Shaw, President, Illinois Republican County Chairmen’s Association: “A couple of days ago, an image which was not authorized by me was posted on the Facebook page of the Illinois Republican County Chairmen’s Association (“RCCA”). I condemn this unauthorized posting and it has been deleted. I am sorry if anyone who saw the image was offended by the contents. This unauthorized posting is an unfortunate distraction from the serious debate surrounding the policies advocated by these four socialist members of the United States House of Representatives of which I strongly disagree. Republican opposition to their proposed “Green New Deal”, elimination of all private health insurance, open borders and anti-Semitic posturing has nothing to do with these Representative’s races or religion. The RCCA has a multi-stage, approval process for all social media posts on any of the RCCA’s social media properties. Nevertheless, the RCCA’s internal review process is being re-evaluated to insure that any content posted in the future represents the “big-tent” nature of the Republican Party.” Also, ILGOP Chairman Tim Schneider responds to the recent Facebook post on the Illinois Republican Chairman’s Association page: “I strongly condemn evoking race or religion as the basis for political disagreement. The recent social media post coming from the IRCCA does not reflect my values or the Illinois Republican Party’s values. Bigoted rhetoric greatly distracts from legitimate and important policy debates and further divides our nation. My intense disagreement with the socialist policies and anti-semitic language of these four congresswomen has absolutely nothing to do with their race or religion. I urge everyone who also opposes them to keep the rhetoric focused on policy and political ideology.”)
