– Glenn Minnis https://southcooknews.com/stories/514090562-wgn-reporter-says-police-ejected-him-from-school-district-227-public-meeting (FROM THE ARTICLE: Many
local residents had requested that reporters be on hand for the meeting because
of what some insist is a lack of trust in the school board. The Open Meetings
Act requires members of the public and the press be allowed into meetings
determining public business, and reporters were ultimately allowed back into
the District 227 meeting.)

— What is the Purpose of the GOP? – Richard Moss https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2019/10/what_is_the_purpose_of_the_gop.html (FROM THE ARTICLE: Our
“one party” system in Washington remains profoundly corrupt and self-serving.
It consists of career politicians from both parties, special interests, donors,
and lobbyists, all of whom agree on one thing: growing the size of government.
The Republican Party, in its budgeting and voting, is a left-of-center party;
it is, as I often referred to it as, the Republican wing of the Democratic
Party. With an increasingly Marxist Democratic Party, and no serious
conservative opposition from “soft-progressive” Republicans, the trajectory of
the nation is all to the left: more spending, more programs, more socialism,
and ultimately more tyranny.)

— Pot Bill Tokes the Line on Public Safety – Tony Perkins https://patriotpost.us/opinion/65810-pot-bill-tokes-the-line-on-public-safety-2019-10-01 (FROM THE ARTICLE: And
yet, last Wednesday, in the U.S. House, more than 300 members of Congress put
their names behind a bill that would help legitimize a business that’s
destroying and endangering lives. It was the first ever vote on a stand-alone
cannabis bill, not that the name would have told you so. The SAFE Banking Act,
one of the more ridiculously named pieces of legislation in the Democratic
House, would make it easier for marijuana companies to “open checking accounts
and get business loans.” Pot companies argue that it would make the entire
market safer, since they tend to operate on a “cash-only basis” or pay sky-high
fees to the banks who are willing to work with them. Amazingly, 321 members of
Congress (including 91 Republicans) fell for this logic, which encourages banks
to get involved in the sale of what the federal government still considers an
illegal substance.)

licensing fees Facebook is offering range as high as $3 million a year for
national news outlets to several hundred thousand dollars for regional
publications, they said. The deals would be for three years. Facebook plans to
expand the number of publishers included in the program as the product
develops, the people said. The feed will become more customizable and
individually targeted, and will eventually include links from Facebook’s
local-news project “Today In.” Facebook will highlight only publishers that
meet the criteria of its news page index, which requires sites to focus on news
reporting and bars those that repeatedly share misinformation and bombard
readers with advertising. But the company, which has been accused of bias by
conservatives in the past, has been mindful to include a diversity of
viewpoints among the outlets that will be featured, one person said. For
example, while stories from Infowars won’t be included, stories from Breitbart
might appear, this person said. “We’ve been working closely with news
organizations to get this right by emphasizing original reporting and making it
much easier to find the most relevant news on Facebook,” said Campbell Brown,
Facebook’s vice president of global news partnerships. Headlines appearing in
Facebook’s news section will be chosen in some cases by a team of editors and
in others by the company’s algorithm, people familiar with the matter said. The
“Top News” section, which will feature about 10 headlines, will be entirely
curated by human editors. News in subsections, such as sports or entertainment,
and a “suggested for you” section, will be selected by algorithm. The feed
won’t include any advertising and all stories will direct readers to the
publishers’ own websites, the people said. Facebook’s curators will use a
detailed list of criteria for which stories to highlight, including promoting
outlets that were the first to report the news, the people said. Stories with
named sources might also be given priority to those that rely on anonymous
sources. Facebook is looking to expand its team of curators to about 25 people,
with some based in London, to work under Anne Kornblut, a Pulitzer Prize winner
who joined Facebook in 2015 after stints at the Washington Post, New York Times
and Boston Globe, the people said.)

(LaHood) also warned that “the IRS should not be used as a political tool
to discriminate against organizations that differ in viewpoints. … We cannot
use political disagreement as a metric to define hate speech or a hate group.
This type of labeling can and has led to violent acts.” “I know my
colleague just referenced the Southern Poverty Law Center,” LaHood said.
“In 2012, an armed man named Floyd Lee Corkins walked into the Family
Research Council Washington headquarters with the intent to shoot and kill as
many of its employees as possible. He was apprehended, but not before wounding
the non-profit’s business manager. Mr. Corkins later told the FBI that he had
seen the nonprofit group listed as an anti-gay hate group on the Southern
Poverty Law Center’s website.” LaHood did not call for the IRS to revoke
the SPLC’s non-profit status (although some, notably Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.),
have called for an investigation, not because the SPLC is liberal but because
it only targets Republicans for its accusations of “hate.”). He
merely joined other Republicans in warning that government attempts to crack
down on “hate” could discriminate against lawful organizations based
on their political viewpoints.)

Their slandering me has caused me to lose a tremendous amount of income.) https://www.hg.org/legal-articles/how-to-calculate-damages-in-a-slander-case-38152 (FROM THE ARTICLE: Actual damages can be calculated to a certain dollar amount. They include all those damages that the plaintiff directly suffered due to the slander. This may include lost wages, lost earning capacity or loss of business opportunities. These may include the actual amounts lost or the amounts that are likely to be lost because of the slander. To calculate lost earnings, the plaintiff can add up the wages that he or she lost from being out of work because of the slanderous statement. This also includes any employment benefits that were lost, such as using sick days or paid time off to deal with the slanderous statement. Lost earning capacity is more difficult to prove and generally requires expert testimony. An expert may have to testify about how the plaintiff’s diminished earning capacity will affect his or her lifetime earnings. For example, if a person was working a $100,000 job and the slander caused him or her to be fired and to be ostracized from the position and was only able to earn $50,000, the annual amount of damages would start at $50,000. Reasonable pay increases based on the individual’s employment record would also be taken into consideration, as well as his or her prospects for promotion. Inflation may also be taken into consideration. An expert may have to evaluate a variety of evidence in order to determine the difference between the plaintiff’s projected earnings before the slander in order to compare these with the projected earnings after the slander. The economic expert may examine the plaintiff’s tax returns, the current and projected economic state and the industry in which the plaintiff is employed and was employed. If the plaintiff was a business owner, his or her losses may include the loss of existing clients and the lost business opportunities. Former clients may be called to testify that they stopped doing business because of the slander. An economic expert may be necessary to testify about the economic impact of such lost business opportunities and business goodwill.)
