DAILY CALLER
— People Pretending To Do Journalism Are Mounting Pressure Campaigns To Silence Conservative Media – VARUN HUKERI (DIERSEN: I have been a member of the conservative media since 2000. Hate-filled Trump-hating Trump-haters will pressure the new Chairman of the Illinois Republican Party to stop me from sending out GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters, and failing that, to stop everyone from reading those newsletters. They will pressure him to put more pressure on Jim Jay, the Chairman of the DuPage County Republican Central Committee and Chris LeVan, the Chairman of the Milton Township Republican Organization, to stop me from sending out GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters, and failing that, to stop everyone from reading those newsletters. They will stress to Zay and to LeVan that because I am a Republican Precinct Committeeman, they have tremendous power to punish me for sending out the newsletters. They can call for the following to officially blacklist me: a) the chairmen of the other eight township organizations in DuPage County, b) all the Republican Precinct Committeemen in DuPage County and especially those in Milton Township including Amy Grant, Dan Cronin, Grant Eckhoff, Phill Suess, and Chris Heidorn, c) all the Republican elected officials in DuPage County and especially those who represent DuPage County’s 4th District , Milton Township, Wheaton, Wheaton’s West District, and my precinct, and d) the voters in DuPage County and especially those in DuPage County’s 4th District, Milton Township, Wheaton, Wheaton’s West District, and my precinct.)
https://dailycaller.com/2021/01/30/corporate-media-deplatform-conservative-fox-cnn-censorship-journalist/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Using the wreckage of the Jan. 6 Capitol riots as leverage, corporate media and the pundit class postured themselves as the de facto arbiters of public opinion, and promptly set their sights on conservative media. They took almost no time to pounce. Within hours of the riots, corporate media reporters and pundits pointed to the presence of Proud Boys at the Capitol riots and organizing on social media. They implied or outright called for more censorship and encouraged the White House to enact new domestic surveillance powers. Naturally, deplatforming media companies that do not adhere to the dominant liberal orthodoxy became a subject of serious discussion. Facebook’s former chief security officer Alex Stamos alleged during a Jan. 17 segment of CNN’s “Reliable Sources” that conservative influencers and media outlets have “abused” press freedom, and advocated deplatforming conservatives from both traditional and social media. “We have given a lot of leeway — both in the traditional media and on social media — to people who have a very broad range of political views,” Stamos told CNN host Brian Stelter. “We have to turn down the capability of these conservative influencers to reach these huge audiences.” Stamos singled out One America News Network (OANN) and Newsmax in particular and accused those outlets of promoting “violent extremism” in the same vein as the Islamic terrorist group ISIS. “We are going to have to figure out the OANN and Newsmax problem. These companies have freedom of speech, but I’m not sure we need Verizon, AT&T, Comcast and such bringing them into tens of millions of homes,” he told Stelter. CNN senior media reporter Oliver Darcy also commented on the “Reliable Sources” segment in a Jan. 17 tweet, adding that broadcasters and cable providers should be asked “about why they beam channels” like OANN and Newsmax. “Do they have any second thoughts about distributing these channels given their election denialism content?” Darcy asked. Earlier this month, Darcy questioned in a CNN Business article why cable providers continue to air conservative media after some outlets contested the results of the 2020 election. Darcy singled out Fox News in particular and claimed the network was just as “irresponsible and dangerous” as comparatively smaller outlets like OANN and Newsmax. “Sean Hannity and Tucker Carlson and Mark Levin and others are responsible for the lies they peddle to their audiences,” Darcy wrote. “But the TV companies that beam them into millions of homes around the country also bear some responsibility.” Fox News host Tucker Carlson responded to the accusation during a Jan. 7 segment of “Tucker Carlson Tonight” and noted that CNN was effectively “calling for censorship” of a competitor. “CNN staffers have already contacted the six major cable carriers in this country, the companies that carry our signal into your home, and pressured them to drop Fox News,” Carlson said. “Here you have a news company calling for censorship, a TV network demanding that media conglomerates ban its competitors.” No cable provider has openly discussed dropping Fox News or any other conservative outlet. Such a move would lead to intense backlash and almost certainly a legal challenge before the Federal Communications Commission over preferential treatment, according to Bloomberg. Targeting Fox News in particular could present a conflict of interest for CNN given that the two are competing news networks. Although unlikely, even one cable provider dropping Fox News could lead to a substantial loss in revenue for Fox Corporation. While Stelter and Darcy have not personally called for cable providers to drop media outlets, their actions constitute a pressure campaign against broadcasters to silence conservative media. CNN is also not alone in this effort. New York Times columnist Nicholas Kristof argued in a Jan. 13 editorial that “cable providers should be asked why they distribute channels that peddle lies.” Washington Post columnist Max Boot wrote in a Jan. 18 editorial that cable providers should “step in and kick Fox News off.” These developments are a response to the Jan. 6 pro-Trump riot at the Capitol, but corporate media outlets pressuring providers to silence conservative outlets is not new. After NBC News raised concerns about coverage of last year’s George Floyd riots from The Federalist, Google notified the conservative outlet in June that their website would be blocked from using Google’s ad platform. NBC News and Google later released contradictory messages in response to backlash. But the push to silence conservative media has since gained steam after multiple outlets were accused of promoting election misinformation that ultimately fueled the Capitol riot earlier this month. These efforts come after tech companies like Twitter and Facebook permanently suspended Trump’s social media accounts and purged thousands of conservative users. Corporate media has now provided a platform for Democratic lawmakers and progressive commentators who not only want to silence conservative media but also “deprogram” Trump supporters. Washington Post columnist Eugene Robinson and “1619 Project” lead writer Nikole Hannah-Jones likened Trump voters to “members of a cult” during an MSNBC segment Jan. 12 and insinuated that the 75 million people who voted for the former president would “have to be deprogrammed.” Even before the Capitol riot, California Democrats’ regional director David Atkins suggested in a series of tweets Nov. 17 that conservatives should be re-educated the way citizens of Nazi Germany and Japan were after World War II.)

NEW YORK TIMES
— 21 Men Accuse Lincoln Project Co-Founder of Online Harassment. John Weaver, a longtime G.O.P. operative who advised John McCain and John Kasich, made sexual overtures to young men, sometimes offering to help them get work in politics. – Maggie Astor and Danny Hakim (DIERSEN: I should write a book about LGBTQ-promoters, their operatives, and their dupes who claim to be religious, conservative, and/or Republican and who have worked the hardest since 2000 to destroy me. I am no longer a TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois chairman, Wheaton Chamber of Commerce Government Affairs Committee member, Milton Township Republican Organization webmaster, Illinois Center Right Coalition Steering Committee member, or American Association of Political Consultants Midwest Chapter board member.)

https://www.nytimes.com/2021/01/31/us/politics/john-weaver-lincoln-project-harassment.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: John Weaver, a longtime Republican strategist and co-founder of the prominent anti-Trump group the Lincoln Project, has for years sent unsolicited and sexually provocative messages online to young men, often while suggesting he could help them get work in politics, according to interviews with 21 men who received them. His solicitations included sending messages to a 14-year-old, asking questions about his body while he was still in high school and then more pointed ones after he turned 18. These messages from Mr. Weaver, 61, who helped run John McCain’s presidential campaigns in 2000 and 2008 and John Kasich’s in 2016, did not lead to physical encounters except in one consensual case, and none of the men accused Mr. Weaver of unlawful conduct. Rather, many of them described feeling preyed upon by an influential older man in the field in which they wanted to work, and believing they had to engage with his repeated messaging or lose a professional opportunity. Mr. Weaver sent overt sexual solicitations to at least 10 of the men and, in the most explicit messages, offered professional and personal assistance in exchange for sex. He told one man he would “spoil you when we see each other,” according to a message reviewed by The New York Times. “Help you other times. Give advice, counsel, help with bills. You help me … sensually.”)

WASHINGTON FREE BEACON
— Biden LGBT Rights Order Charges Into Culture War – Kevin Daley
https://freebeacon.com/courts/biden-lgbt-rights-order-charges-into-culture-war/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Biden’s directive broaches almost every aspect of domestic policy, from housing to refugee resettlement to transgender student athletes. The order requires every federal agency to make clear that civil rights laws banning sex discrimination also ban discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender identity, citing the Supreme Court’s landmark gay rights ruling in June 2020. Many changes resulting from Biden’s order, like a ban on anti-gay discrimination in renting, are unlikely to cause controversy. Other mandates will accelerate long-simmering cultural disputes, like those allowing trans students to participate in women’s sports or use the bathrooms and locker rooms of their choice. While Biden says his focus is fixed on the coronavirus pandemic and economic stimulus, cultural conflict is poised to play a defining role in the coming years of his presidency.)

TOWNHALL
— Sorry, But That’s the Rule: President Asterisk Is A Draft Dodger – Kurt Schlichter (DIERSEN: What have your critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes used against you the most? Mine have stressed since 1966 a) that I was 1-A, b) that I got student draft deferments 1966-1970 and a financial hardship draft deferment 1970-1971, and c) that I never enlisted. I should write a book about critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes who used the aforesaid against me the most. I would focus on my superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates at the Park Forest Post Office 1966-1969, Firestone Stores 1970-1972, IRS 1971-1980, and GAO 1980-1997. To this day, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes shout at veterans, and at everyone else, that I am a draft dodger.)
https://townhall.com/columnists/kurtschlichter/2021/01/25/sorry-but-thats-the-rule-president-asterisk-is-a-draft-dodger-n2583602
(FROM THE ARTICLE: I sure think these New Rules are dumb, but what can you do? In fact, I have always hated the whole chickenhawk thing, the idea that, rather than military service being a character resume plus, its absence is a minus and some sort of character flaw. Only about 30% of people can qualify physically and otherwise for service, so right off you are consigning about 70% of folks to some sort of second-hand moral status. That’s stupid. Further, the idea that an American citizen who did not serve has some sort of disqualification from opining on military issues is utterly unAmerican. . .This was demonstrated with the whole “Cadet Bone Spurs” thing about Donald Trump. The “cadet” part relates to him having gone to military school, which I guess the New Rules decree is something to be ashamed of now. As with shifting attitude toward the National Guard troops from violent threats to the literal safety of oppressed people to heroic defenders of the country from Thor-wannabes to tiresome eyesores to be consigned to a Congressional parking garage, you need constant updates on whether military stuff is good or bad at any given moment. Anyway, the “Bone Spurs” part was the medical diagnosis that kept Trump from draft eligibility. For some reason, this diagnosis strikes people who have never had to do a long ruck march over rough terrain with half their body weight on their backs as hilarious. . .Trump got four student deferments as an undergrad. Then the Army – not anyone else – decided he as not physically fit for military service. No shock – go to a MEPS (Military Entrance Processing Station), tell the doc you have bone spurs on your paws, and see how fast you get transferred back to Fort Living Room. . .And here’s another thing, and maybe I’m a bit technical, but Trump was never drafted. So, it’s kind of hard to “dodge the draft” when you weren’t drafted. Draft dodgers typically got their induction notices and split to Manitoba. That was draft dodging – and St. Jimmy Carter pardoned them all, so it’s weird that draft dodging is now bad again. Regardless, the New Rules are the New Rules and I am helpless to alter them. * is just as much of a draft dodger as the Bad Orange Man. The Asterisk-In-Chief got five student deferments as an undergrad. Then the Army apparently decided that he had a history of asthma and that was that. Putting aside that he’s more known for gaffes and wandering about aimlessly than coughing fits, President * was disqualified, just as a huge percentage of potential recruits are. And like Trump, he was never drafted, making it hard in any but the most meta way to fairly consider him a “draft dodger.” But none of that matters because of the New Rules. The New Rules decree that * is a cowardly draft dodger unfit to hold the office of president, so there you are. Sorry.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: I’ve learned that ageism and age stereotyping are very real prejudices in our society. I’m guilty of both on occasion, including my feelings about President Joe Biden.

As he begins serving his four-year term, will he have the razor-sharp mental acuity needed for such a challenging job position, long day after long day?)

SUN JOURNAL
— Who are the rioters who stormed the Capitol on Jan. 6? Ostensibly protesting an election they may have thought was stolen, their actions fed a larger set of goals that American militants are seizing upon to take more extreme action. – JEFF INGLIS
https://www.sunjournal.com/2021/01/24/who-are-the-rioters-who-stormed-the-capitol-on-jan-6/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: What is the ‘boogaloo’? “QAnon followers, the Proud Boys and the other far-right and alt-right groups that converged on Washington imagined that they were living out the great fantasy that underlies what many consider to be the bible of the white nationalism movement, a 1978 dystopian novel, ‘The Turner Diaries,’ by William Luther Pierce,” writes Jonathan D. Sarna, a scholar of anti-Semitism at Brandeis University. “The novel depicts the violent overthrow of the government of the United States, nuclear conflagration, race war and the ultimate extermination of nonwhites and ‘undesirable racial elements among the remaining White population,’” he explains. This widespread and extremely violent conflagration is often called the “boogaloo” by its adherents.)

LANCASTER ONLINE
— Lancaster County conservatives ponder what it means to be Republican, direction of the party in post-Trump era – CARTER WALKER and GILLIAN McGOLDRICK (DIERSEN: 2,446,891 in Illinois voted for Trump. 193,611 in DuPage County voted for Trump. 20,080 in Milton Township voted for Trump. 157 in my precinct voted for Trump. In Illinois, in DuPage County, in Milton Township, and in Wheaton, hate-filled Trump-hating Trump-haters want everyone to punish Trump a) by voting for Democrats in the April 6, 2021 election, b) by demonizing, denigrating, and condemning their Republican Precinct Committeeman/Captain, and c) by demonizing, denigrating, and condemning all the Republicans who represent them in Illinois, DuPage County, Milton Township, and Wheaton.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: On the one hand are those who were horrified by the Jan. 6 attack and the no-holds-barred efforts to overturn Trump’s loss in the two months after the election. On the other are staunch Trump supporters who believe local GOP officials didn’t do enough to support the president’s fight. The most outspoken of those expressing these opposite views say they can no longer support the Republican Party as it exists today. As a result, the Lancaster County GOP saw hundreds of its registered voters leave the party in the first half of January. In the week of the Jan. 6 attack, 249 Lancaster County Republicans switched their registration to other parties. Of those, 146 became Democrats. These party switches continued into the following week: From Jan. 11 to Jan. 18, 87 Lancaster County Republicans switched their registration to other parties, with 76 becoming Democrats, according to county Pennsylvania Department of State data. For all of 2020, 858 GOP voters in the county switched to other parties, meaning that in just the first two week of 2021 the party lost nearly 40% of the number of voters it lost to other parties in the entire preceding year. Although the party’s margin has narrowed over the past decade, Republicans still make up a slim majority of the county’s registered voters, currently 51.4%, giving the party a firm grasp on elected offices up and down the ballot outside Lancaster city and its suburbs, blue dots on the county’s otherwise dark red political terrain.)

January 23 Morning Edition

GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— The six applicants for Illinois Republican Party (IRP) Chairman are Steve Anderson, Mike Fryzel, Scott Gryder, Steve Sauerberg, Mark Shaw, and Don Tracy. The IRP State Central Committee (SCC) will meet via Zoom at 10:00 AM this morning to determine the finalists. On Saturday, January 30, 2021, the IRP SCC will interview the finalists and select the new IRP Chairman by weighted vote. Those who want to have input on the determination should contact their representative on the IRP SCC.

Sadly, this process is a far cry from what happened in 2005. In 2005, as an Illinois Center Right Coalition Steering Committee member, I organized a candidate forum in Springfield the evening before the IRP SCC meeting at which the IRP SCC elected Andy McKenna. Candidate forum attendees included McKenna, Steve McGlynn, John Cox, and Jim Nalepa.

According to Jeff Berkowitz’s report, the IRP SCC meeting “attracted about 500 Republican activists, operatives, party functionaries, office holders and wannabees– including more than 150 County, Ward and Township Committeemen; State GOP Chairman candidates Andy McKenna, Jr., Steve McGlynn, Jim Oberweis, John Cox and Jim Nalepa. Andy McKenna, Jr., who is known for his father’s and perhaps his own fundraising prowess and business contacts and who ran in the Republican U. S. Senate Primary in 2004, garnering 14% and a 4th out of 7 candidates finish, won the State GOP chairmanship vote, primarily because of the backing of the Illinois Republican Party Finance Committee, i.e., in large part the Chicago Metropolitan Republican Business Interests and Donors. McGlynn, who had campaigned vigorously for the position, withdrew prior to the vote when he saw he could not get a majority of the SCC weighted vote. Nalepa, who drew acclaim and cheers from the assembled for his stirring speech, came in a very distant second to McKenna– who, in addition to the aforementioned money interests, had the New Republican Establishment behind him– Lahood-Kirk, for sure, and most likely Cross. Of course, the New Republican Establishment and money interests go together like ham and cheese.”

If I was still the TAPROOT Republicans Chairman, the organization would host a candidate forum on Friday, January 29, 2021. Questions that I would ask the candidates include: a) If selected, what would you do to keep the 2,446,891 in Illinois who voted for Trump to continue to vote for Republicans and b) If selected, what would you do discourage promotion of the following: reparations, BLM, LGBTQ, dependency on government, dependency on charity, abortion, mass/illegal immigration, booze, gambling, pot, and other vices, more gun controls, patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination? – Dave Diersen

NEW YORK TIMES
— 10 Republicans Voted to Impeach Trump. The Backlash Has Been Swift. The House Republicans who voted to charge President Donald J. Trump with inciting the Capitol riot are facing a fleet of primary challengers, censures and other rebukes from their party. – Reid J. Epstein and Katie Glueck (DIERSEN: I should write a book those who have punished me the most since 2000 and the reasons why. Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct, their major donors, their fundraisers, their political consultants, their campaign managers, their campaign staff members, and their campaign volunteers who have lost elections have punished me the most. They blame me and they blame my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters for their losses.)
https://www.nytimes.com/2021/01/23/us/politics/republican-who-wont-vote-to-impeach-trump.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: For Mr. Katko and Representatives Adam Kinzinger of Illinois, Anthony Gonzalez of Ohio, David Valadao of California, and Fred Upton and Mr. Meijer of Michigan, all Republicans who voted for impeachment and hail from states likely to lose seats in this year’s redistricting process, the shapes of the districts they may seek to represent in 2022 have yet to be determined. Democratic state legislators in New York and Illinois could draw Mr. Katko and Mr. Kinzinger into districts represented by fellow incumbent Republicans, potentially cutting off a path for a Trumpian insurgent, while commissions will determine district lines in California, Michigan and Ohio. Gene Koprowski, a conservative filmmaker who filed to run against Mr. Kinzinger, said he did so to start raising money but he is waiting for the Illinois legislature to redraw its congressional district maps before formally beginning a campaign.)

The Post Office hired me because it could not find a qualified Democrat, minority, female, or veteran who would take the job.

https://www.newsmax.com/politics/social-media/2021/01/19/id/1006337/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Social media giants crossed a threshold in banning President Donald Trump and an array of his supporters — and now face a quandary on defining their efforts to remain politically neutral while promoting democracy and free speech. After Jan. 6, with its unprecedented violence in the seat of Congress, Trump was banned for allegedly inciting the rioters — on platforms including Facebook, Twitter, Google-owned YouTube and Snapchat. The alternative network Parler, which drew many Trump backers, was forced offline by Amazon’s web services unit. The bans broke new ground for internet firms but also shattered the longstanding notion that they are simply neutral platforms open for all to express any views. “Banning Donald Trump was a crossing of a Rubicon for social media firms, and they can’t go back,” said Samuel Woolley, a professor and researcher with the University of Texas Center for Media Engagement. “Up to now their biggest goal was to promote free speech, but recent events have shown they can no longer do this.”)

— Trump Has Discussed Starting a New Political Party – Andrew Restuccia (DIERSEN: From what I see, Democrat plant, Libertarian plant, Green plant, Independent plant, and RINO leaders of Republican organizations a) despise/hate Trump supporters, b) want Trump to start a new political party, and c) will use the Capitol Riot to destroy the Republican Party once and for all.)
https://www.wsj.com/livecoverage/trump-impeachment-biden-inauguration/card/90pPMzFPqr5fMzg1Bkbs
(FROM THE ARTICLE: It’s unclear how serious Mr. Trump is about starting a new party, which would require a significant investment of time and resources. The president has a large base of supporters, some of whom were not deeply involved in Republican politics prior to Mr. Trump’s 2016 campaign. Third parties have typically failed to draw enough support to play a major role in national elections. Any effort to start a new party would likely face intense opposition from Republican party officials, who would chafe at the thought of Mr. Trump peeling off support from GOP candidates.)

KMJN
— NBC News Poll: Voters Bleak on US Track, Future (DIERSEN: From what I see, the more of the following that you are, the more bleak that your future is: law enforcement officer, Trump supporter, conservative, patriotic, Republican, American, White, male, older, heterosexual, married, non-poor, gun owner, Christian, Protestant, Italian American, German American, and/or if your ancestors have been in America for a long time.)
https://www.kmjnow.com/news/nbc-news-poll-voters-bleak-on-us-track-future/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: More than 70% of voters think the country is on the wrong track and that the next four years will remain politically divided — while a majority are pessimistic about America’s future, a new poll showed. The NBC News poll released a day before the Wednesday inauguration of Joe Biden paints a bleak picture of a worried nation. Here’s the breakdown: 73% say the country is on the wrong track. 73% say the United States will remain divided in the next four years. 53% say they’re worried and pessimistic about the nation’s future — the first time that response has been given to the question since 1998. The poll also showed voters find Biden likable and ethical, but didn’t give him high marks on the economy or for sharing their positions on the issues. 39% gave Biden a “4” or “5” on a five-point scaled on the economy; 38% gave him those high marks on sharing their positions on the issues. 55% of voters give Biden a “4” or “5” on a five-point scale of being knowledgeable and experienced enough to handle the presidency, and 53% as being easygoing and likable. 47% gave Biden high marks for having the ability to handle a crisis, and 45% give him high marks for having high personal and ethical standards.)

DAILY BEAST
— Fox News Launches ‘Purge’ to ‘Get Rid of Real Journalists,’ Insiders Say ‘BLOOD BATH’ Fox laid off at least 16 staffers, including Chris Stirewalt, who defended the election-night call that pissed off Trump. Insiders say the firings are part of an ideological purge. – Diana Falzone and Lachlan Cartwright
https://www.thedailybeast.com/fox-news-launches-purge-to-get-rid-of-real-journalists
(FROM THE ARTICLE: But a dozen current and recently departed Fox News employees who spoke with The Daily Beast all said the “purge”—as a few characterized it—was part of the network’s larger effort to pivot its website from straight-news reporting to right-wing opinion content in the mold of Fox’s primetime programming. “There is a concerted effort to get rid of real journalists,” said one recently departed Fox staffer. “They laid capable people off who were actual journalists and not blind followers.” Others said it was an attempt to silence leakers from speaking to outside media about the changes being instituted by Porter Berry, a former producer for Hannity and Bill O’Reilly, who recently transitioned from the TV side to running Fox’s digital properties. “Porter’s uncomfortable around and is suspicious of experienced editors,” one Fox News insider remarked to The Daily Beast. “They make him feel inept because his background is entirely in TV.” “Porter is at the helm,” one current employee declared of the layoffs, while a recently departed staffer said: “This is all Porter. Both an ideological purge and a purge of people he was threatened by.” “It’s essentially the final nail in the coffin for digital journalism at Fox,” another recently departed staffer declared. Though, this former staffer noted, the shift to focusing on right-wing opinion has paid off for Berry. “What has slightly been working for him are recaps of the network’s primetime opinion shows,” the source said, and so the desire is for more “cheap labor to write a dozen 250 word recaps of the network’s primetime shows.”)

He added, “A mass amnesty with no safeguards and no strings attached is a nonstarter.” “There are many issues I think we can work cooperatively with President-elect Biden, but a blanket amnesty for people who are here unlawfully isn’t going to be one of them,” said Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., who is often a central player in Senate immigration battles. That view was shared by Mark Krikorian, executive director of the conservative Center for Immigration Studies, which favors curbing immigration. “Past proposals at least accepted the concept of turning off the faucet and mopping up the overflow. This is nothing but mopping up and letting the faucet continue to run,” Krikorian said. The top lobbyist for NumbersUSA, which also wants to limit immigration, agreed that without changes, the measure seemed destined to receive little if any GOP support. “They’re just going straight-up amnesty,” said the lobbyist, Rosemary Jenks. She said that made the measure likely to fail in the Senate, where it would need at least 10 Republicans to join all 50 Democrats to overcome a filibuster that would kill the measure.)
