(FROM THE ARTICLE: Still, some Italian-Americans in Chicago said they did not support the move. “Columbus is a symbol of hope who we’ve celebrated for years and maybe we all forgot why we celebrated Christopher Columbus,” Sergio Giangrande, president of the Joint Civic Committee of Italian American said. “To take someone who’s a symbol of hope for us? We are not OK with that.” Giangrande added, however, that the group understands the safety concerns but hoped for a compromise. “I can guarantee you that Italian Americans are not happy about this,” he said. Mayor Lori Lightfoot said Monday that she would announce a process in which the city will take inventory of the various monuments, paintings “and other things that memorialize” Chicago’s past and history. “In time, our team will determine there are no monuments to African Americans in this city,” Lightfoot said. “There are no monuments to women. There are no monuments that reflect the contributions of people in the city of Chicago who contributed to the greatness of this city.”)

HERALD NEWS
— Bolingbrook mayor plans to retire Village trustee: ‘He got things done for Bolingbrook’ – FELIX SARVER
https://www.theherald-news.com/2020/07/23/bolingbrook-mayor-plans-to-retire/ai6pgnc/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: After roughly 35 years, Roger Claar plans to no longer serve as the mayor of Bolingbrook. Claar did not respond to calls inquiring about his retirement Thursday and even hung up the phone after he was contacted by The Herald-News, but Village Trustee Michael Carpanzano said Claar is retiring because he wants to spend more time with his family. Carpanzano said he didn’t think there was another mayor besides Claar more connected with residents. “Everyone knows him as the guy who is going to get things done and he got things done for Bolingbrook,” Carpanzano said. Carpanzano said Claar’s last village board meeting will be on Tuesday. He said Claar has hinted at his retirement all year and that he plans to spend time in California with his granddaughter. He said Claar will likely continue to spend time in Illinois as well. Claar first became mayor in 1986 to fill a vacancy and has been elected to the post 10 times since then. Carpanzano credited the explosion of Bolingbrook’s population over the decades to Claar. “He brought not only an industrial base to the town but a retail base, a hospital, an airport, a beautiful country club and entire outdoor shopping center. His vision really saw all that through,” Carpanzano said. Claar was the subject of a 2007 Chicago magazine profile that noted during his time as mayor he’s overseen a “huge increase” in the range of housing prices, a “near doubling” of the village’s population and that he’s “brought in business, most obviously in the form of the shallow canyon of distribution centers you drive through on I-55 between Chicago and I-80.” “Along the way, he’s bolstered himself just as dramatically, amassing a huge campaign war chest and making strategic political ties to become one of the most powerful mayors in Illinois,” according to Chicago magazine. Claar’s mayoral opponent Jackie Traynere, a Will County board member, claimed Claar plans to remain in control of Bolingbrook and fund the next mayor’s campaign. “The only reason he’s not putting his name on the ballot is because he knows he’ll be beaten,” Traynere said. She suggested Claar would support Bolingbrook Deputy Mayor Michael Lawler as the next mayor. Lawler failed to respond to a message and Claar failed to return a call on the issue on Thursday afternoon. Traynere said when people look at communities that surround Bolingbrook, such as Naperville and Romeoville, they see positive growth. But what they don’t see in those communities is the massive debt that Bolingbrook has, she said. “So when you give Roger credit for the growth, you need to give him credit for the debt,” she said. Traynere fell 151 votes short in the 2017 election that highlighted Claar’s controversial support of U.S. President Donald Trump. Traynere said Claar inviting Trump to Bolingbrook Golf Club — also known as the “Rog Mahal” — was the catalyst for her run for mayor. Trump’s visit in 2016 led to up to 200 people protesting outside the golf club for several hours. Claar has said he doesn’t agree with everything Trump says but also thinks what Trump says has been twisted and distorted. Claar’s support of Trump also attracted vandalism at his home on Sept. 20, 2017, from Rae Tuszynski, 32, who spray-painted a message on his garage calling him a “Nazi Trump lover” and at least seven swastikas on his property. Tuszynski pleaded guilty to threatening a public official, criminal damage to property and committing a hate crime against Claar. “With all due respect, I’m a transgender Puerto Rican and you (have a) hate crime against an old white man,” Tuszynski said.)

WJOL
— Longtime Mayor Of Bolingbrook Retires Months Before His Term Expires
https://www.wjol.com/wjol-exclusive-longtime-mayor-of-bolingbrook-retires-months-before-his-term-expires/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The Mayor of Bolingbrook will not finish out his last term in office. Mayor Roger Claar has said he would not seek re-election next year but is now cutting his time short. He will retire at the end of this month on July 31st. Mayor Claar stated at the last council meeting that Tuesday, July 28th will be his last council meeting. Mayor Claar tells WJOL that his 5-year old granddaughter who lives in California with his daughter Lindsey and her husband Trevor is calling his name. He wants to spend more time with his wife Pat and will be traveling to California a lot, although he says he will not be moving there. He’ll be 75 in November and says his daughter who is 37 grew up while he was a very active mayor and wasn’t home much. While she was OK with that, Claar says he doesn’t want to do the same with his granddaughter. A replacement will be selected by the existing board of trustees and state statute dictates the choice must come from the board. Claar was a village trustee for five years and appointed Mayor in 1986 to fill a vacancy. He is Bolingbrook’s longest-serving Mayor. He is the only Bolingbrook Mayor to be elected to consecutive terms. He was elected Mayor in 1987, and every 4 fours year after that.)

BOLINGBROOK PATCH
— Longtime Bolingbrook Mayor To Retire July 31 Roger Claar, who has consecutively been voted mayor since 1986, will not seek re-election and will retire before the completion of his term. – Abhinanda Datta
https://patch.com/illinois/bolingbrook/longterm-bolingbrook-mayor-retire-july-31
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Bolingbrook Mayor Roger Claar announced during the July 14 Village Board Meeting that the meeting on Tuesday will be his last as he is retiring from the office prior to the completion of his term, and will not be seeking re-election. He will retire on July 31, WJOL reported. Claar told WJOL that he wants to spend more time with his 5-year-old granddaughter who lives in California with her parents Lindsey and Trevor. He said he wants to spend more time with his wife Pat, travelling to see his daughter and her family. Claar appointed mayor in 1986 to fill a vacancy, while he was still a village trustee. Since then, he has been re-elected every four years. Earlier this month, Will County Board member Jackie Traynere (D-Bolingbrook) announced her plans to run for mayor of Bolingbrook during the April 6, 2021 election. During the 2017 mayoral election that was rife with accusations of deception, negative campaigning and connections to President Donald Trump, Traynere had conceded to Claar who had won by just 151 votes with over 13,000 votes cast that night. Village Trustee Michael Carpanzano said in a social media post that a replacement will be selected by the existing board of trustees, and state statute dictates the choice must come from the board.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: A small, mostly white group of suburban Republican candidates looking to unseat various Democratic lawmakers this fall — in a variety of state and federal elected offices — called a news conference at the scene of Monday’s mass shooting in Chicago’s Gresham neighborhood, a storied African American community. Mark Curran, the former Lake County sheriff who’s challenging incumbent U.S. Sen. Dick Durbin, called the shooters “evil,” and went on say that crime and politics have been interwoven for decades. Saying mobster Al Capone once “owned the elected officials in Chicago,” Curran suggested that “today it’s the Black Gangster Disciples …” before rattling off the names of a few other street gangs. He then accused Durbin of “standing on the floor of the U.S. Senate” and saying “he doesn’t want President Trump to send in any help with regards to the streets of Chicago.” You can watch the news conference, where several candidates said expanding the police force was among the solutions to tamping down crime, here. In a letter to the president dated Tuesday, Durbin and fellow Illinois Democratic U.S. Sen. Tammy Duckworth stated in part: “You have indicated you may send additional federal agents to the city Chicago to conduct policing activities that traditionally are handled by local law enforcement. We strongly urge you to refrain from taking this action, which is opposed by Governor Pritzker, Mayor Lightfoot and other local leaders.”)

— DIERSEN HEADLINE: Democrats and RINOs want all the citizens of all the foreign countries of the world who are minority, female, younger, LGBTQ, not married, poor, sick, anti-Trump, anti-conservative, anti-patriotic, anti-Republican, anti-American, anti-White, anti-male, anti-older people, anti-heterosexual, anti-married people, anti-non-poor people, anti-gun owners, anti-Protestant, anti-German Americans, anti-draft avoiders, and/or anti-those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time to claim asylum in America. Democrats want asylum seekers because asylum seekers vote for Democrats. RINOs want asylum seekers because they want cheap labor. Democrats and RINOs shout at asylum seekers that Republicans are White supremacists, Nazis, KKK members, haters, racists, sexists, bigots, and even worse thing who should be gotten rid of once and for all. Democrats and RINOs use asylum seekers to get rid those who are law enforcement officers, Trump supporters, conservative, patriotic, Republican, American, White, male, older, heterosexual, married, non-poor, gun owners, Protestant, German American, draft avoiders (except Joe Biden), and those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time.

— 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.)

(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:)

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.)

ABC7
— AS THE DEMOCRAT PARTY’S STRANGLEHOLD ON CHICAGO TIGHTENS: DISGUSTING, TRAGIC: Chicago Columbus statue protest: Elected officials, activists to condemn Chicago Police Department actions after Grant Park rally escalates, some hospitalized (DIERSEN: Those who side with those who attempted to pull the statue down are filled with hatred against those who are law enforcement officers, Trump supporters, conservative, patriotic, Republican, American, White, male, older, heterosexual, married, non-poor, gun owners, Christian, Italian American, German American, and/or those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time.)
https://abc7chicago.com/community-events/chicago-officials-activists-to-condemn-cpd-response-to-columbus-statue-protest/6323279/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Ald. Carlos Ramirez-Rosa said, “Black and Indigenous Chicagoans and people from all across the city came together to do what our so-called progressive mayor refused and failed to do.” Ald. Daniel La Spata said, “Chicago may be the only ‘liberal’ city willing to brutalize Black and brown youth to protect a symbol of white supremacy.” At 9 a.m., several aldermen and Illinois officials plan to condemn CPD’s response to the protest. “Social media and press reports from Friday night confirmed that SWAT buses, pepper spray, and press suppression resulted in severe injuries to young protestors,” a statement said. United Working Families members Alderman Carlos Rosa, Ald. Byron Sigcho Lopez, Cook County Commissioner Brandon Johnson, state Rep. Delia Ramirez, state Sen. Robert Peters, and Democratic Nominee Lakesia Collins plan to attend. Supportive elected officials who are unable to attend include Ald. Rossana Rodriguez Sanchez, Ald. Daniel La Spata, and Ald. Jeanette Taylor, the statement said. Participating organizations include Black Youth Project 100, Black Lives Matter Chicago, Chi-Nations Youth Council, the Black Abolitionist Network and United Working Families. The Italian American Human Relations Foundation of Chicago also responded to the protest, saying in part “This was the work of evil minded people. They have been fueled by an educational system too lax in its reliance on a poor curriculum re the education of the legacy of Columbus, and abetted by the majority of the media who refuse to question the baseless revisionist history of the Columbus saga.”)
