POLITICO ILLINOIS
— KINZINGER’s GOP DILEMMA – Shia Kapos
(DIERSEN: By now, Illinois Republican Precinct Committeemen and Captains should have received an email from the Illinois Republican Party (IRP) that IRP Chairman candidate Mark Shaw favors full censure of Kinzinger while candidates Don Tracy and Scott Gryder reject censure. Further, by now, Illinois Republican Precinct Committeemen and Captains should have received an email from their representative on the IRP State Central Committee that states if they favor or reject censure.)
https://www.politico.com/newsletters/illinois-playbook/2021/02/01/kinzingers-gop-dilemma-teacher-strike-looms-calling-in-kamala-491587
(FROM THE ARTICLE: “Enough is enough,” Larry Smith, chairman of the LaSalle County Republican Central Committee, told Playbook after the rally. “He hasn’t talked to us for six years.” Smith said his Republican committee will vote Tuesday on whether to censure Kinzinger, and Smith suggested other GOP county committees could follow. So far, the state GOP has no plans to censure. But the party is in upheaval as Chairman Tim Schneider is stepping down and a new chairman is to be named Saturday. Up for the job are Kendall County Board Chairman Scott Gryder, Lake County Republican Chairman Mark Shaw, and former Illinois Gaming Board exec and former lieutenant governor candidate Don Tracy of Springfield. Shaw favors full censure of Kinzinger. While Tracy and Gryder, who oppose Kinzinger’s impeachment vote, nonetheless reject censure.)

CLEVELAND
— Will the Ohio GOP move on from Trump? A Q&A with Chairman Jane Timken
(DIERSEN: How would the three candidates for Illinois Republican Party (IRP) Chairman respond to similar questions? If I was still the TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois Chairman, the organization would host an IRP Chairman candidate forum.)
https://www.cleveland.com/open/2021/02/will-the-ohio-gop-move-on-from-trump-a-qa-with-chairman-jane-timken.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Normally, a political party would move on from a losing presidential candidate. Party leaders already have shown some subtle signs of doing so – the state GOP removed images of Trump from the front page of its website earlier this month, and Republican National Committee Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel last week told the Associated Press the party would remain neutral if Trump runs again in 2024. But Trump has claimed he only lost the election because of widespread fraud, a claim his own Justice Department, dozens of courts and senior Republican leaders have rebuked as unsupported or false. Last week, cleveland.com / The Plain Dealer interviewed Timken, whom Trump personally helped install as leader of the state GOP shortly after he was elected, to ask how the party might – or might not – move on from the former president heading into 2022. . .What is the next step for Republicans post-Trump? . . . Do you think he will remain involved with the Republican Party? Do you think he will follow through on his reported threat to start a third party? . . . After losing the November election, do you think the party needs to distance itself from Trump? . . . Do you think Trump will continue to be the face of the Republican Party? . . . What is the biggest thing the Ohio Republican Party needs to improve? . . . The former president attracted a lot of new voters to the Republican Party. Do you think they will remain engaged Republican voters? . . . What responsibility does the president or Republicans generally bear for the events at the Capitol? . . . How are you feeling about 2022 for Ohio Republicans? . . . With congressional redistricting this year under a new map-drawing process meant to prevent gerrymandering, do you think Ohio’s partisan makeup will change?)

TOWNHALL
— America Grows Sick on a Diet of Propaganda and Political Theater – Laura Hollis
https://townhall.com/columnists/laurahollis/2021/01/28/america-grows-sick-on-a-diet-of-propaganda-and-political-theater-n2583871
(FROM THE ARTICLE: First and foremost, of course, is the attempt by Democrats in Congress to impeach Trump for “inciting insurrection.” Most people won’t read the full text of Trump’s speech that day. It was vintage Trump, confrontational and full of braggadocio, but in it, he explicitly told his supporters to “peacefully and patriotically” make their voices heard. But no “insurrection” means no “incitement,” and that would mean no impeachment. The articles of impeachment are themselves a charade. As Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul stated on the Senate floor — and to which 44 other Republican senators agreed — the Constitution simply does not authorize Congress to take the action contemplated by an impeachment trial against a private citizen. Only a sitting president can be “removed,” and Donald Trump is no longer the president of the United States. Further, the U.S. Supreme Court announced that Chief Justice John Roberts will not preside over an impeachment trial in the Senate — another blow to those who claim that such a “trial” on the House’s single impeachment charge is legitimate. Finally, the 44 GOP senators who voted in favor of Paul’s procedural motion prove that the 50 Democratic senators will not get the additional 17 Republicans they need for a two-thirds majority to convict. So, the impeachment shtick isn’t about removing a man who is already gone, and it isn’t really about getting a conviction either. It’s more — and more extreme — political theater. If that’s not bad enough, the country is also struggling to recover from months of COVID lockdowns. Florida Sen. Marco Rubio described the impeachment charge as “stupid” and a waste of time. And it gets much worse. The target of the “insurrection” propaganda campaign is not so much Donald Trump as it is the 74 million-plus people who voted for him. Americans were stunned when Hillary Clinton referred to only half of Donald Trump’s supporters as a “basket of deplorables” in 2016. But Trump had millions more supporters in 2020, and now all of them are being demonized by Democrats and their mouthpieces in the media as threats, as “seditionists” and “white supremacists” who need to be “deprogrammed,” “reprogrammed,” imprisoned in “reeducation camps” or subjected to “Nuremburg trials.” These are not isolated remarks by fringe elements; they are comments made by “mainstream” Democratic voices: Washington Post correspondent Eugene Robinson, media darling Katie Couric, MSNBC anchor Don Lemon, actor Jon Cryer, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. Comments on these articles and tweets — made by non-famous, left-leaning Americans — are even worse. This is beyond political difference. It is a sickness.)

(DIERSEN: From what I see, if Kinzinger had been an Illinois Center Right Coalition (ICRC) member, he would have voted to censure me in 2006 and to throw me off the ICRC Steering Committee in 2007. Kinzinger would have painted me as being too conservative and even worse things.)

As more far-right Republicans take office and exercise power, party officials are promoting unity and neutrality rather than confronting dangerous messages and disinformation.” My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have always painted me as being far-right because I support the traditional marriage/family, right to life, immigration, illegal drugs, Second Amendment, and equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) planks in the Republican Party platform.

— Raise Your Hand if You Were Expecting Biden to Be a Revolutionary. The president has been much more left-wing out of the gate than many predicted. What comes next? – Gail Collins and Bret Stephens
(DIERSEN: Everyone knew that if elected, hate-filled conservative-hating conservative-haters would make Biden even more anti-law enforcement, anti-Trump, anti-conservative, anti-patriotic, anti-Republican, anti-American, anti-White, anti-male, anti-older people, anti-heterosexual, anti-traditional marriage/family, anti-non-poor people, anti-gun owners, anti-Christian, anti-Protestant, anti-Italian American, anti-German American, and/or anti-those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time.)

— Biden’s Approval Rating Is Trump’s in Reverse Support from a slim majority might be all President Biden can expect — and maybe it’s all he needs. – Giovanni Russonello
https://www.nytimes.com/2021/02/01/us/politics/biden-approval-rating-trump.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: President Biden entered the White House last month with a broadly positive approval rating — but well shy of the two-thirds of Americans who expressed support for his former boss, Barack Obama, when he took office 12 years ago. In fact, Biden’s net approval rating is lower than that of any incoming president since the dawn of modern polling, except for his predecessor, Donald Trump. It’s just another clear sign that we’ve entered a new era of partisanship: Media fragmentation and the hard-line politics it has helped foster may make it impossible for any leader to become a true consensus figure. But it also bears noting that Biden’s approval rating is basically a reverse image of Trump’s. In addition to being loathed by Republicans and embraced by Democrats, he’s firmly in positive territory among independents — who had consistently disapproved of Trump’s performance. A Monmouth University poll out last week found that 54 percent of Americans gave Biden’s performance positive marks, including nine in 10 Democrats and a plurality of independents, who approved by a 17-percentage-point margin (22 percent hadn’t yet formed an opinion). But among Republicans, his numbers were upside down. Just 15 percent approved, and 70 percent disapproved.)

CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— A view from Chicago for the Illinois Republican Party – STEPHEN F. BOULTON
https://www.chicagotribune.com/opinion/commentary/ct-opinion-republican-party-illinois-20210129-b5k5xefiqfel3khfvhbfmfjnyq-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: 6. Vocally oppose cancel culture. Our discourse is now dominated by a social theory which recognizes only “oppressors” and “oppressed” with no middle ground or differing opinions allowed. Our youth are being indoctrinated with this destructive mindset in our schools. An example is the “culturally responsive” teaching standard currently proposed by the Illinois State Board of Education, which will force teachers to adopt a curriculum of “progressive viewpoints,” under which teachers must “work actively” in the classroom against “systems of oppression” while promoting “student activism and advocacy” for a progressive agenda. Cancel culture is at root a Marxist-based model, and as with all Marxist theories, pits different groups of people against each other in bitter, unending conflict. Adopting such doctrines in government results in expanding hatred, suppression of speech, economic decline and social disintegration, as we are already seeing in parts of America today. If the Republicans will not stand for civility and freedom, who will? The Chicago Republican Party has begun planning for the 2022 election. We urge all Republicans to join forces to rescue and restore Illinois.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Only nine Illinois counties grew in population over the past decade and four of them were in the west and southwest suburbs — Kane, DuPage, Kendall and Will counties, an analysis from a Chicago planning agency shows. . .Over the same time period, DuPage County grew by 2,575 people, or 0.28%. Will County grew by 7,207, or 1.06%, and Kane County grew by 9,502 people, or 1.82%. Kendall County saw the highest rate of increase of any Illinois county, growing by 6.65%, or 7,860 people. . .Growth in Kane, DuPage, Kendall and Will is likely tied to people already in the region moving farther into the suburbs, he said, and to better job growth in the Chicago area than elsewhere in the state.)

BLOCK CLUB CHICAGO
— Lightfoot Calls Out Aldermen For Making ‘Racist’ Comments Against Sanctuary City Ordinance: ‘Shame On You’ The mayor slammed Ald. Anthony Napolitano (41st) and Ald. Raymond Lopez (15th), who opposed changes to the sanctuary city ordinance Wednesday. “Being an immigrant is not a crime,” Lightfoot said. – Justin Laurence
(DIERSEN: How soon, if not already, will Lightfoot officially banish from Chicago all individuals, organizations, and companies that are law enforcement officers, Trump supporters, conservative, patriotic, Republican, American, White, male, older, heterosexual, married, non-poor, gun owners, Christian, Protestant, Italian American, German American, and/or those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time?)
https://blockclubchicago.org/2021/01/27/lightfoot-calls-out-aldermen-for-making-racist-comments-against-sanctuary-city-ordinance-shame-on-you/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The council approved the revamped law by a 41-8 vote, closing loopholes that had allowed for the Chicago Police Department to work with Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents in some scenarios. Napolitano, the council’s lone Republican member who said he’s a “proud son” of immigrants, said that by eliminating those exceptions “we are essentially welcoming criminals to our city.” “If you are an illegal immigrant and a convicted felon, or a fugitive, what better place to go than Chicago,” he said. “This ordinance irresponsibly offers protections to those who have possibly broken the law to hide underneath this ordinance and gives them safe haven from federal prosecution.” Napolitano said he knew he’d receive criticism for his “no” vote, but said he wanted the Council to know he’d “lose more sleep every night knowing how we failed our citizens with our alarming crime rate, homicides, carjackings, shootings.” Ald. Raymond Lopez (15th) said he opposed the changes “not because of racism and xenophobia, but because I too represent immigrant communities.” He said the law threatens the safety of residents in his Southwest Side ward and some undocumented immigrants in his area are gang members. “They have been sucked in by the generational violence that impacts so many of our communities,” he said. Those individuals would be treated with the “same compassion” as law abiding members, he said.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Ironically, Gagnon’s post drew attention to Facebook’s suspension of his friend, Laurie Higgins, who got a 7-day ban for criticizing Biden’s policy. “There was absolutely no incitement to violence on our part. We abhor violence done to any person,” Gagnon told PJ Media on Tuesday. “This is just a thinly veiled and pathetic excuse for censorship of any critical views toward trans-tyranny over our consciences, religion, and reason.” Only one point of view is being allowed,” he added, ominously. “Trump was not the great danger to the Republic. Left-wing canceling is.” Gagnon, who holds a Ph.D. in Pauline theology and sexuality from Princeton Theological Seminary, has published “The Bible and Homosexual Practice: Texts and Hermeneutics.” He teaches as a professor of New Testament Theology at Houston Baptist University. In the post Facebook flagged, Gagnon had defended Higgins’ response to Biden’s pro-transgender military policy.)

— Section 230’s unconstitutional delegation of power to Big Tech – WILLIAM L. KOVACS
(DIERSEN: My critics/opponents want Google, Facebook, etc. to regulate my speech. In addition, they want the Illinois Republican Party, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, Milton Township Republican Organization, Illinois, DuPage County, Milton Township, and Wheaton to regulate my speech. They want the aforesaid to take adverse actions against me if I include links to articles in GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters that they do not like.)
https://thehill.com/opinion/technology/535497-section-230s-unconstitutional-delegation-of-power-to-big-tech
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Two questions must be answered: Can private parties controlling the public square deprive citizens of their right to free speech? and Can Congress empower private parties to regulate competitors? What does section 230 do? Section 230 has two primary provisions. The first exempts internet providers from civil liability for publishing any information from another content provider that is objectionable. The second provision exempts Big Tech from liability when it takes voluntary, good faith actions to restrict objectionable materials or provides the technical means to restrict them. Private parties cannot deprive unpopular citizens of constitutional rights when governing the public square: By granting Big Tech immunity from civil liability when restricting material from the internet it deemed objectionable, Congress encouraged and indirectly authorized private parties to regulate speech. Congress has no constitutional power to authorize private parties to deprive even unpopular citizens of their constitutional rights. Moreover, when private parties control the new public square they function as a government and must provide constitutional rights for all.)

— Biden signs executive orders on $15 minimum wage for federal workers, food aid increases – Josh Boak
(DIERSEN: In 1966, when I was 18 years old, my critics/opponents were furious that the Post Office paid me $16.81 an hour (GS-4 Step 1) in today’s dollars. The Post Office hired me because it could not find a qualified Democrat, minority, female, or veteran who would take the job. The job had the following requirements and I met all those requirements: high school diploma, pass an employment examination, pass a physical examination, pass a background investigation, pass a truck driving test, own a car to deliver mail from, and be available to work at least 20 hours a week.)
