NEWSWEEK
— Charges Announced for 17 People After Rockford Protests Over Two Days – MATT KEELEY (DIERSEN: If there have been no Back the Blue rallies in your municipality, why is that? In your municipality, how strong/threatening are the BLMers and LGBTQers, that is, how strong/threatening are the Democrats in your municipality?)
https://www.newsweek.com/charges-announced-17-people-after-illinois-protests-over-two-days-1522193
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Police in Rockford, Illinois announced charges Saturday for 17 people arrested during protests over two straight days. On Friday, 11 protesters were arrested after a small protest blocking East State Street, according to WTVO. Then Saturday, an additional six protesters were arrested during a counterprotest at a “Back the Blue” rally in support of police. Rockford Police Chief Dan O’Shea, Winnebago County Sheriff Gary Caruana, and State’s Attorney Marilyn Hite Ross held a press conference Saturday afternoon announcing the charges. Six of the protesters were charged with mob action alone, while three more were charged with mob action and resisting arrest. Other charges included aggravated battery to a police officer, disorderly conduct, obstruction of police officers, damage to property and resisting a police officer. “The First Amendment is very clear. It does not give unbridled freedom to infringe on the rights of others,” Ross said. Former Democratic State Rep. Litesa Wallace shared a video in which she said she raised about $2,000 from her supporters to pay the bond for six of those arrested on Friday. “I am exhausted—which doesn’t say a lot because I didn’t do a lot today. I can only imagine how tired and exhausted the individuals who were arrested are. And I can only imagine how tired and exhausted people who are older than me are, who have been in this fight and wanting justice and equality for decades upon decades,” she said. . .The Friday protest was over the treatment of protesters during a May 30 demonstration in Rockford responding to the police-involved death of George Floyd in Minneapolis. Protesters alleged that the Rockford Police used excessive force. An internal investigation by police announced Wednesday that it had found no evidence of wrongdoing by the officers. About 20 protesters announced several demands on Friday, including that the city drop all charges against demonstrators involved in the May 30 protest, and that the police hire an outside investigator to determine whether excessive force was used.)

— Arrests made after protesters, police clash following ‘Back the Blue’ rally
https://www.wifr.com/2020/08/01/arrests-made-after-protesters-police-clash-after-back-the-blue-rally/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: At least 100 attendees of a pro-police rally in downtown Rockford were met by anti-police protesters Saturday morning. The groups Concerned Citizens for America of Northern Illinois and the Illinois Family Institute held the rally at the Winnebago County Justice Center, at 650 W. State Street in downtown Rockford. Rep. John Cabello (R-68th) and former Rep. Jim Sacia (R-89th) spoke at the rally which was held to “Support all men and women in law enforcement and the amazing, vital, and dangerous work they do to protect our communities and country from lawlessness and evil.” This comes following a protest on Friday evening, where nine protesters were taken into custody and later charged. However, former Illinois Rep. Litesa Wallace raised money to help bond out those arrested Friday night.)

Ever-increasingly, states, counties, townships, municipalities, organizations, companies, their operatives, and their dupes make it clear to Whites that they will be gotten rid if they do not admit to being racists.)
https://employment.einnews.com/article_detail/523037205/8Hn9_brd4ZLerKXz
(FROM THE ARTICLE: There’s a new Jim Crow afoot in America. Once again, it’s coming from the Democrats, but this time, instead of pitting whites against blacks, it’s pitting blacks against whites. Beleaguered white people technically have the Civil Rights Act of 1964 at their back but, in the witch hunt atmosphere currently prevailing in America, it’s unclear whether they’ll have the courage to use it. The Civil Rights Act of 1964 doesn’t mince words. It exists to outlaw discrimination based upon a person’s race, color, religion, sex, or country of national origin. It explicitly expands these protections to employment programs. Under Title VII, “It shall be an unlawful employment practice for any employer, labor organization, or joint labor-management committee controlling apprenticeship or other training or retraining, including on-the-job training programs to discriminate against any individual because of his race, color, religion, sex, or national origin in admission to, or employment in, any program established to provide apprenticeship or other training. (42 U.S. Code §2000e-2(d).)” The City of Seattle has put a program in place for its 10,000 employees. There are special whites-only aspects of the program. In the “white only” portions of the program, whites must admit that they are racist (and, presumably, any refusal is more proof of racism), and then they must have that racism trained out of them. Christopher Rufo has obtained the materials for the segregated “whites only” training. Trying to summarize the material falls far short of showing the immensity of this Title VII violation, so I’ve embedded all of the tweets below.)

— OUTSTANDING: Oklahoma prosecutor charges rioters with acts of terrorism
https://www.lawofficer.com/oklahoma-prosecutor-charges-rioters-with-acts-of-terrorism/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Two teenagers are the latest to face terrorism charges after reportedly helping to break in the windows of an Oklahoma City bail bonds business in late May during the riots that swept the nation in the wake of the custodial death of George Floyd in Minneapolis. Several dozen protesters conducted a sit-in at the office of Oklahoma County District Attorney David Prater on Monday to demand that he drop the terrorism charges and resign, Fox News reported. But Prater maintained last month that those who incite violence in the streets are “criminals” who “have subverted peaceful protests and impaired the open discussion regarding race in our country.” “When you employ these tactics for a political purpose, you are a terrorist,” he said. Prater also accused Black Lives Matter protestors of trying to intimidate him and law enforcement and of defending “criminals who are violent, exploitive and unscrupulous.” The district attorney said: “It is my job to protect innocent citizens and their property and I will continue to do it to the best of my ability.” Haley Lin Crawford and Sydney Lunch, who both turned 18 within the past month, were charged last week with acting with a large crowd to unlawfully break the windows of CJ’s Bail Bonds in Oklahoma City on May 30, the Oklahoman reported. The charges came after investigators identified the two young women using Facebook Live video streamed by other demonstrators and tips to CrimeStoppers.)

— AS THE DEMOCRAT PARTY’S STRANGLEHOLD ON CHICAGO TIGHTENS: ‘I Can’t Believe We Survived,’ Uber Driver Says After He Was Attacked By Large Group Of Teens Downtown – Jermont Terry
https://chicago.cbslocal.com/2020/07/20/i-cant-believe-we-survived-uber-driver-says-after-he-was-attacked-by-large-group-of-teens-downtown/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: “I can’t believe we survived” – those are the words of a terrified Uber driver who was caught in the middle of hundreds of teens getting pushed through the downtown area by Chicago Police. As CBS 2’s Jermont Terry reported, the driver had to jump the curb and then go the wrong way down Washington Street on the sidewalk just to escape the group, which targeted him at a red light. On Monday night, the attack was raising bigger questions about what is being done to handle those rowdy teens on weekends. Standing on the corner of Wabash Avenue and Washington Street brings back horrible memories for the Uber driver. “I’m just scared, and it’s going to take a while to regain the trust of the city, I guess,” he said. The driver is fearful after his Kia ended up getting each and every window busted out – all by a group of teens who were getting ushered by police from Millennium Park on July 4th weekend. “I knew they were coming I said, ‘Oh f***, and so they came and jumped on the car and started dancing around on the hood,” he said. But the driver said some in the crowd turned violent and tried opening the doors. What happened next had the driver and his two passengers in disbelief. “And then they broke in the driver window, and that’s where I knew we were in big trouble, because they were trying to grab me, and I heard the back rear window shatter as well,” he said. A pitchfork crashed through the rear window, coming within inches of his Uber passengers. “Who knows what would have happened if they were able to pull us out of the vehicle? It seem like they wanted blood,” he said. “It’s terrifying just to think that there’s just basically a school a piranhas just roaming the streets of Chicago, and we don’t know where they’re going to show up.” CBS 2 first exposed how these groups of 300 to 400 have roamed the Loop and downtown for consecutive Saturdays. The CPD said it has tactical units ready to deal with the crowds. But with teens turning violent, many are concerned it will only get worse.)

https://www.chicagotribune.com/nation-world/ct-nw-st-louis-couple-charged-mark-patricia-mccloskey-20200720-trwnxyn4qvet5dmrgovjawpwce-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Several Republican leaders have condemned Gardner’s investigation, including President Donald Trump, Missouri Gov. Mike Parson and Sen. Josh Hawley, who has urged Attorney General William Barr to undertake a civil rights investigation of Gardner. Parson said in a radio interview Friday that he would likely pardon the couple if they were charged and convicted. Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt said in a statement Monday that he filed a brief requesting that the charges be dismissed under the state’s Castle Doctrine. “The right to keep and bear arms is given the highest level of protection in our constitution and our laws, including the Castle Doctrine,” Schmitt said in the statement. “This provides broad rights to Missourians who are protecting their property and lives from those who wish to do them harm.” Sen. Josh Hawley, R-MO, said on Twitter that the charges were an “unacceptable abuse of power and threat to the Second Amendment.” He called for a federal civil rights investigation into the St. Louis Circuit Attorney’s Office to “determine whether this investigation and impending prosecution violates this family’s constitutional rights.” Gardner said Trump, Parson and others are attacking her to distract from “their failed approach to the COVID-19 pandemic” and other issues.)

BIZ PAC REVIEW
— DISGUSTING, OUTRAGEOUS, TRAGIC, UNACCEPTABLE: Michelle Malkin, violently attacked by BLM, Antifa in Denver, sends S.O.S. to Trump – Tom Tillison (DIERSEN: Denver today, your municipality tomorrow.)
https://www.bizpacreview.com/2020/07/20/michelle-malkin-violently-attacked-by-blm-antifa-in-denver-sends-s-o-s-to-trump-949089
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Outspoken conservative firebrand Michelle Malkin was attacked Sunday by Black Lives Matter activists intent ion shutting down a “Back the Blue” rally in Denver. The peaceful pro-police event was underway at Civic Center Park when BLM activists and others wearing black-bloc and armed with collapsible batons — Malkin identified them online as Antifa — crashed the stage. Malkin can be heard in video of the attack screaming at the violent mob to get back. Not mincing words, she called the woman attacking them “b*tches” in a tweet, and said she was sprayed in the face with aerosol string and another man was beaten with a longboard. Video of the incident shows aggressive antagonists being allowed to walk right up to the very edge of the stage. Malkin shared a photo of the man she said was beaten by the mob. Malkin noted that police sat idly by doing nothing as the chaos ensued. According to the Denver Post, police “attempted to form a line around the two groups, but could not completely separate them.” The newspaper also said Denver Police Chief Paul Pazen asked the group “to reschedule or move the pro-police rally.” Malkin tweeted: “Denver Police Chief Pazen, who marched with BLM last month, let pro-police patriots get beaten and silenced.” In addition to BLM, the counter-demonstrators included the Party for Socialism and Liberation and the Afro-Liberation Front, according to KMGH-TV. The ABC affiliate reported the mob was “armed with pots and pans, whistles, hand-held sirens and other noise making gear,” and that they “crashed the Pro-Police rally and drowned out those trying to speak.” Almost reluctantly, KMGH-TV acknowledged that there were “a few scuffles between members of the two groups.” “There’s not much else to say other than every cop here is a terrorist by association,” Black Lives Matter supporter Hale Rardin told the station. Malkin took exception to how the local reporter she responded to above, KUSA-TV reporter Kyle Clark, tried to painted a “moral equivalency” between the peaceful pro-police group and the violent BLM mob attacking them. Pepper balls and a can of pepper spray were later deployed to disperse BLM activists, after police say some people “made aggressive moves” toward officers. In a somewhat foreboding wrap up, Malkin tweeted: “I’m ok. America is not.” An assessment that has merit, given the radical lawlessness seen from the left today, who intend to shut down all speech not in line with their hard-left views and are more than willing to use violence to do so, if necessary. This coming as law enforcement has been cast as the bad guys in America by both the Democratic Party and their media allies, emasculated and beaten back on their heels. Here’s a full-length Periscope video of the rally shared by Malkin — note that she also tagged President Trump, sending an SOS to restore law and order in American streets:)

Neither of my outstanding parents attended college. My mother never attended high school. My father was the first of his ancestors to earn a high school diploma. My father fought type 1 diabetes from age 14, he worked in the office of a nasty chemical plant in Chicago Heights, he almost always worked second jobs to pay the family’s bills, he did not buy a new car until he was 45 in 1967 and it was a bottom of the line 2-door Chevy, and he died suddenly of heart failure in 1969 when I was 21 years old.)

— Career Reboot: She Followed Her Heart Into Data Analytics Unhappy in her job at a law firm, a recruiter did research, learned skills and found her new career in tech – Ray A. Smith (DIERSEN: I transferred from IRS to GAO in 1980 when I was 31 year old a) because my Democrat IRS superiors had made it clear that they would never promote me to GS-13 and b) because GAO audits IRS, and I could use my knowledge of IRS on audits of IRS that I had gained working for IRS for almost 9 years, the last 5 1/2 years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 levels, currently $85,084-$96,431/year. But my Democrat GAO superiors succeeded in a) keeping me off audits of IRS 1980-1985, b) stopping me from being promoted to GS-13 until 1986, c) keeping me off audits of IRS after 1988, and d) forcing me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years old. They would not have done that if I had been a Democrat, minority, female, and/or veteran. After I transferred from IRS to GAO in 1980, I a) completed the requirements for a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980, b) passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981, c) became a licensed CPA in 1981, d) became a Certified Fraud Examiner in 1990, e) became a Certified Government Financial Manager in 1994, f) became a Certified Financial Services Auditor in 1996, g) became a Forensic Accountant in 1997, and h) completed the requirements for a master’s degree in financial markets and trading from IIT in 1997.)

Most commonly, they reject the traditional family, right to life, immigration, illegal drugs, Second Amendment, and/or equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) planks. What do you say to those who become Republican Precinct Committeemen mainly, if not solely, to get rid of Republican Precinct Committeemen like me who support the aforesaid planks?)
