https://radio.foxnews.com/2020/09/10/sarah-huckabee-sanders-i-wish-there-were-more-good-reporters-in-the-white-house-briefing-room/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: On Fox Across America with Jimmy Failla, former White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders talks about her new book Speaking For Myself and what she thinks about the reporters she faced in the White House Briefing Room. “I wish there were a lot more good reporters in that room. I wouldn’t put Jim (Acosta) on that list, but there are some of the toughest, shrewdest journalists from around the world that sit in there and throw tough questions at you day after day. And I do appreciate the work that they do and the service they provide to the country. I just would like to see them be a little bit more fair to this President and this administration.” “They would take anything that he said and make it as negative as possible. I witnessed that every single day and still see that even from the outside. No matter what this President does, no matter how successful he is, no matter what he accomplishes, they will find a way to attack it. And I think that is sad that most of those individuals, the liberal media elite, have decided that they hate Donald Trump more than they love our country. And I think that’s pretty disgraceful. I’m sad that we’ve gotten to that place.”)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Republican consultant Jon Zahm has resurrected a political action committee he started 10 years ago to try to unseat Illinois Supreme Court Justice Thomas Kilbride, who’s up for retention. “I oppose Kilbride because I predicted in 2010 that he would support [House Speaker Michael] Madigan’s power to draw legislative maps gerrymandered to elect Democrats,” Zahm told Playbook. “And in 2016, that’s exactly what [Kilbride] protected when he would not allow the public to vote on the Fair Maps Amendment due to a technicality.” That was a 4-3 vote along party lines with a decision authored by Kilbride. Steve Korris of the Madison-St. Clair Record questions whether Kilbride’s opinion allowed Madigan’s power to go unchecked. Zahm hopes Vote No Kilbride 2020 PAC is more successful than its 2010 iteration. Supreme Court justices need 60 percent of the vote to be retained. In 2010, Kilbride received not quite 66 percent. The GOP politico says he’s put $500 of his own money into the PAC and he expects to run his anti-Kilbride campaign as a grassroots effort with signs and speaking engagements. Zahm’s twin sons, Daniel and Jonah, were born when Kilbride was first elected in 2000 and the boys took part in parades and put up signs with their dad during the last campaign. Now they’re working as field directors in the 2020 effort. “Twenty years is enough,” Zahm said. “He does not need 30.”)

AMERICAN GREATNESS
— The Ruling Class Strikes Back If the aim is merely to survive this “revolution” and win elections, then we have only delayed the cycle a little while longer. – Pedro Gonzalez (DIERSEN: What do you say to those in your municipality, in your township, and in your county a) who have lots of religious, government, political, and/or financial clout, b) who paint themselves as being religious, conservative, and/or Republican, c) but who fail/refuse to speak out against BLM, and d) but who fail/refuse to speak out in support of law enforcement?)
https://amgreatness.com/2020/09/08/the-ruling-class-strikes-back/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: For months, entire city blocks have been defaced, looted, and razed in the name of a racial justice spearheaded by Antifa and Black Lives Matter. Their aim is summarized by far-left activist Ashley Nicole McCray: “This future that we all want, that we’re all trying to build, really is about the destruction of colonization, white supremacy, and capitalism.” But McCray’s is itself a colonial project that seeks to fill with its poison every political and cultural institution in the basin of American life. It also happens to be backed by many in America’s mostly white capitalist class who use racial grievances for their own gain and are used by the aggrieved in turn. Increasingly it appears we are witnessing a ruling class power grab more than a social justice revolution. The elites are striking back directly and through proxies.)

— Fed Wants Banks to Say What They’re Doing to Promote Diversity. Fed not satisfied with information it’s getting, official says. Clark cites ‘significant accomplishments’ by Fed on diversity – Rich Miller (DIERSEN: If Democrat politicians asked the Democrats who run GAO what it is doing to promote diversity, GAO could say it uses Affirmative Action, Diversity, Inclusion, subjectivity in its job assignment, performance appraisal, and promotion systems, up-or-out, budget cuts, etc., that is, it uses political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation to get rid of its employees who are White, male, and/or non-veteran and who they did not promote to GS-13 (currently $101,176) by age 25, GS-14 (currently $119,559) by age 30, GS-15 (currently $140,634) by age 35, and Senior Executive Service (currently $170,800) by age 40. Extremely few GAO employees make the aforesaid promotion deadlines.)

CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— Maine East High School officials defend inclusivity banners after local Republican leader, citizens object to content – JENNIFER JOHNSON
https://www.chicagotribune.com/suburbs/park-ridge/ct-prh-maine-east-banner-tl-0910-20200904-f4ctke3p3vgdxdltrjgmiu5jcm-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Shortly after the newest banner appeared at Maine East, Maine Township Republican Committeewoman Char Foss-Eggemann, of Park Ridge, posted a message on the Republicans of Maine Township Facebook page, writing that it is “a breach of the public trust to use taxpayer-funded government property to post political messages.” She encouraged followers of the pages to email District 207 Supt. Ken Wallace to inquire about the banner, which she referred to as a “BLM banner,” the abbreviation standing for “Black lives matter.” The message was also shared by the Republican Women of Park Ridge Facebook page, an organization of which Foss-Eggemann is also a leader. In an email to Pioneer Press, Foss-Eggemann said the Maine East banners contain “political messaging” and the name of “a specific political organization,” Black Lives Matter. “There should be zero debate on this because it is self-evident,” Foss-Eggemann said. “Political messages do not belong on any government building, period.” In an email to Wallace, which Foss-Eggemann also shared, she suggested the district could achieve “an environment of equality, inclusion and kindness” by using “apolitical banners which avoid politically-charged slogans or words routinely and/or commercially associated with various political group(s).”)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: On a call with reporters hosted by the Biden campaign Friday, Illinois Sen. Tammy Duckworth lambasted Trump for “belittling the sacrifices of those who have shown more bravery than he’s capable of.” Duckworth, a retired Army National Guard lieutenant colonel who lost both of her legs in the Iraq War, has been a prominent critic of Trump’s handling of military issues. Knocking Trump for allegedly inventing an injury to avoid serving in the Vietnam War, Duckworth said that she’d “take my wheelchair and my titanium legs over Donald Trump’s supposed bone spurs any day.” Khizr Khan, the Gold Star father who drew national attention after criticizing Trump during the 2016 Democratic National Convention, joined Duckworth on the call and said that Trump’s “life is a testament to selfishness.”)
