ILLINOIS FAMILY INSTITUTE
— “NO ETHNIC SELF-IDENTIFICATION!”–Command Leftists to Hilaria Baldwin – Laurie Higgins (DIERSEN: What do you say to those who have urged me to pretend that I am of Swedish national origin to avoid the German sigma? During the 1840s and 1850s, all my ancestors immigrated to northeast Illinois from what is now Germany. Of course, needless-to-say, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have always used that against me. In my defense, I stress that my grandfather on my father’s side fought the Germans during WWI, that my uncles on my mother’s side fought the Germans during WWII, and that my father would have fought the Germans during WWII if he had not been 4-F. Further, according to http://dna.ancestry.com , my ancestry is 33% Europe West, 28% Scandinavia, 24% Great Britain, 11% Ireland, 2% Europe East, 1% Finland/Northwest Russia, and 1% Italy/Greece.)

WASHINGTON TIMES
— Democrats’ Digital Democracy Task Force wrong direction for online democracy. Following the ‘roadmap’ would give government more control to determine what information passes muster. – Randolph J. May (DIERSEN: My critics/opponents want the following to control what I put in GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails: a) Milton Township Republican Organization officers, DuPage County Republican Central Committee officers, my representative on the Illinois Republican Party (IRP) State Central Committee, and Illinois Republican Party officers, b) the Republican elected/appointed officials who represent my precinct, Wheaton’s West District, Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County’s 4th District, DuPage County, and Illinois, c) Republican candidates on ballots for my precinct, d) Republican major donors, e) Republican political consultants, f) Republican campaign managers, g) Republican campaign staff members, h) Republican campaign volunteers, and i) Republicans who I have sued. Everyone sees how the aforesaid treat me and treat my GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails.)
https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2020/dec/29/democrats-digital-democracy-task-force-wrong-direc/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The roadmap’s premise is that “many Americans are ill-equipped to recognize and sift through false, misleading or emotionally manipulative posts” on social media platforms. So, to confront what they see as the combination of “ill-equipped” Americans and rampant disinformation and misinformation, the House Democrats propose a number of measures. . .For example, the Democrats propose creation of a new multiagency Digital Democracy Task Force, comprised of officials from across the federal government, with dedicated funding. The task force would be charged with developing communications strategies for the government to counter “disinformation and misinformation.” Because social media platforms seldom act as “responsible information gatekeepers,” the roadmap urges the government to prioritize grant funding to “experienced organizations” so that they can teach “vulnerable audiences” to spot propaganda and to “provide counter-narratives.” By now it should be evident why adoption of the Democrats’ roadmap likely poses a greater danger to democracy than ignoring it. This is not to say “misinformation” or “disinformation” on the social media platforms which are the roadmap’s primary targets doesn’t exist. It does. But there are serious disagreements every day — really, every hour — regarding what news and information on social media should be pinned with a Scarlet Letter. And it should be obvious too that the disagreements regarding claimed misinformation and disinformation extend to what the roadmap calls the “traditional news media,” which the House Democrats claim have higher editorial standards.)

They stress that I oppose the promotion of dependency on government, dependency on charity, LGBTQ, abortion, booze, gambling, pot, and other vices, abolition of the First and Second Amendments, patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination. They stress that I use emails to communicate rather than Facebook. They stress that I own only American-nameplate vehicles.)

— Early Voting Numbers in Georgia Senate Races Put G.O.P. on Edge – Astead W. Herndon and Richard Fausset (DIERSEN: Ever-increasingly, Democrat candidates promise members of protected groups that they will use government a) to give them even more preference and b) to get rid of Republicans once and for all. Protected groups include those who are minority, female, younger, LGBTQ, disabled, veteran, citizens of foreign countries, non-Trump supporters, non-Christians, non-Protestants, non-Italian Americans, non-German Americans, Democrat, Libertarian, Green, Independent, RINO, moderate, liberal, low-income, those whose ancestors have not been in America for a long time, and those who lack education, lack job skills, lack job experience, have financial problems, and/or have health problems.)
https://www.nytimes.com/2020/12/30/us/politics/georgia-senate-early-voting.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: But Dale Washburn, a Republican state legislator who introduced Ms. Loeffler at the event, had another warning. This one was based not on ideology, but on numbers that suggest Democrats are outpacing Republicans in early voting turnout — which means that Republicans may need a tremendous election-day performance on Jan. 5 if they are to win the state’s two high-stakes runoff races and maintain control of the Senate. “We’re fully aware of the energy on the other side, and think we’ve been reminded about that,” Mr. Washburn said. “We know demographics have changed in recent years. And if our side hasn’t been aware of that, they’re rapidly becoming aware of that. The Biden victory had a big part.”)
