— Illinois GOP group shares, then deletes meme labeling minority congresswomen ‘Jihad Squad’ – OWEN DAUGHERTY (DIERSEN: From Mark Shaw, President, Illinois Republican County Chairmen’s Association: “A couple of days ago, an image which was not authorized by me was posted on the Facebook page of the Illinois Republican County Chairmen’s Association (“RCCA”). I condemn this unauthorized posting and it has been deleted. I am sorry if anyone who saw the image was offended by the contents. This unauthorized posting is an unfortunate distraction from the serious debate surrounding the policies advocated by these four socialist members of the United States House of Representatives of which I strongly disagree. Republican opposition to their proposed “Green New Deal”, elimination of all private health insurance, open borders and anti-Semitic posturing has nothing to do with these Representative’s races or religion. The RCCA has a multi-stage, approval process for all social media posts on any of the RCCA’s social media properties. Nevertheless, the RCCA’s internal review process is being re-evaluated to insure that any content posted in the future represents the “big-tent” nature of the Republican Party.” Also, ILGOP Chairman Tim Schneider responds to the recent Facebook post on the Illinois Republican Chairman’s Association page: “I strongly condemn evoking race or religion as the basis for political disagreement. The recent social media post coming from the IRCCA does not reflect my values or the Illinois Republican Party’s values. Bigoted rhetoric greatly distracts from legitimate and important policy debates and further divides our nation. My intense disagreement with the socialist policies and anti-semitic language of these four congresswomen has absolutely nothing to do with their race or religion. I urge everyone who also opposes them to keep the rhetoric focused on policy and political ideology.”)

Firestone Stores fired me because I had sought and accepted that job offer. My father had died suddenly; I had to have a job to support my mother and brother, so I accepted a job offer from IRS.)

All of the following should be lining up to speak out against pot at public hearings: Republican activists, Republican candidates, Republican elected officials, Republican party leaders, Republican major donors, Republican political consultants, business leaders, religious leaders, healthcare leaders, education leaders, law enforcement leaders, etc.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Clark County could become the first local government in Illinois to ban the sale of marijuana under legislation that permits recreational use of cannabis statewide effective Jan. 1 but includes an “opt out” provision for local communities. In mid-May, while the measure was still under debate in Springfield but before it passed, Clark County Board member Jim Bolin raised the issue of a local prohibition and said he would have an appropriate resolution prepared. Bolin was out of the country last week and not available for comment. County Clerk Laura Lee said no resolution is available for review yet but the matter is on the agenda for the board’s next meeting, which will be at 8 a.m. Friday. Any ban imposed by the board would apply only in unincorporated areas of the county, covering about 48 percent of the total population of about 16,000. It would also apply only to the sale of marijuana and not its use.)

https://independentminute.com/2019/02/13/american-retailer-now-publicly-supporting-sharia-law-are-you-shopping-there-2/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: What needs to happen is this: any person who wants to come to America to start a new life is welcome if they legally apply for citizenship, learn the English language, prove they have a valuable skill or trade, and embrace western culture. To become an American citizen doesn’t mean you forget where you came from, but it does require you to renounce all that is un-American in your previous culture and work to preserve the new culture you have entered. But radical Muslims refuse to do that. And somehow Liberals are letting them get away with this. It’s time for Republicans to stand up to this shady business, call out those who publicly support Sharia law, and stop those who follow Sharia to the letter from becoming part of American culture. For now, a good place to start would be to boycott Macy’s. Are you in?)
