(FROM THE ARTICLE: Since his death, flowers have been left outside the clothing business. His wife said Thursday it’s too soon to say what will happen to the building. “While I understand the community interest in the development of Mr. Sandburg’s building, at this time it is important to give the family time to grieve their loss,” Downtown Wheaton Association Executive Director Elle Withall said in a statement. “When the family is ready to move forward with a decision on the property the DWA will be here to offer any assistance we can to ensure the best use for the development of downtown Wheaton.” . . . A visitation will be held from 10 to 11 a.m. Saturday at Hultgren Funeral Home, 304 N. Main St., Wheaton, followed by a funeral service at 11 a.m. Only 50 attendees are allowed at any given time because of COVID-19 safety protocols. For those unable to attend, a livestream will be available on the funeral home’s website. Memorial donations can be sent to Friends of DuPage County Animal Care and Control, 120 N County Farm Road, Wheaton.)

KENDALL COUNTY NOW
— OUTSTANDING: Kendall County GOP hosts campaign rally at Town Square Park – SHEA LAZANSKY (DIERSEN: Hopefully, the officers of Republican township, ward, and county party organizations across Illinois will be hosting such rallies. If I was still the chairman of TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois, the organization would be hosting such rallies. But I acknowledge that Democrats and Democrat plants, Libertarians and Libertarian plants, Greens and Green plants, and RINOs would continue to discourage attendance at such rallies.)
https://www.kendallcountynow.com/2020/07/11/kendall-county-gop-hosts-campaign-rally-at-town-square-park/dnhg5fq/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Thunder and lightning didn’t stop Kendall County Republicans from gathering in Yorkville’s Town Square Park Saturday afternoon for a campaign rally for area candidates and a chance to show their support for law enforcement and the military. Oswego resident and Republican precinct committeeman Jason Hudson helped to coordinate and organize the event for the Kendall County chapter of the Republican Party. The rally, he said, was intended to give officers and veterans a moment of recognition. “We see so many counter protests, shaming our police departments. I wanted to do a rally saying, ‘Hey look, we support our police, we support our veterans’,” Hudson said. “We all know that all the police aren’t bad, they keep us safe and protect us. Yes there are bad apples within the bunch, but the group is really great…more people are good cops than there are bad cops.” Hudson and the Kendall County Republicans did ask that the news of the rally not be publicized in advance. When asked to explain that action, Hudson said that he thought it would be a ” good idea to keep this down low.” “The people on the left, they don’t really want to come out and have a discussion about this,” Hudson said. “Had we had a counter protester here, I would have given them two minutes on the stage. “The last thing we want is for somebody to come out here and incite any kind of violence or anything like that. We’re peaceful. If somebody were to set up across the street from us and have a counter protest and they wanted to come over here and speak, we’ll give them two minutes, as long as they’re reasonable.” “We all have common grounds,” Hudson said. “We all want to raise our kids, we all want to have safe streets, we all hate racism…we all have that in agreement. It’s just a matter of coming together and communicating about it.” Several candidates for state and federal office spoke at the rally, touching on points like the COVID-19 pandemic, Black Lives Matter protests, supporting law enforcement and the military, and the 2020 election. “Battle lines have been clearly drawn,” State Senator Jim Oberweis (R-25) told the crowd. Oberweis is running for the position of U.S. Representative against incumbent Lauren Underwood. Oberweis called a growing movement to defund police departments, “A direct assault on our country and our values.” While Oberweis stated his support for peaceful protests, he acknowledged that “bad actors” have turned the rallies across the country violent. “The answer to the violent and wrongful death of George Floyd is not more violence,” Oberweis said, “And it certainly isn’t defunding the police. “We need to take steps to heal this nation and address radical discrimination. But we do not need to adopt radical policies like defunding the police.” State leaders’ response to the coronavirus pandemic was also a hot topic for speakers. State Representative David Welter (R-75), campaigning for re-election, called out the actions of “King” Pritzker, in his response to the pandemic. Welter highlighted several lawsuits in various phases throughout the state, challenging Governor JB Pritzker’s actions over the past several months. “Small business owners, churches, different individuals and organizations trying to save their livelihood, trying to get by, and we continue to have a governor who is trying to make it as difficult as possible,” Welter said. “The Democrats want to tell us that it’s okay to riot, but it’s not okay to open our business. They want to tell us it’s okay to riot, but it’s not okay to praise God, to go to church,” Tom McCullagh, state senate candidate for the 49th district said. McCullagh, who touted his distribution of face shields to first responders, also reminded the crowd to pay attention to the status of several lawsuits against Pritzker’s coronavirus response. Jeanette Ward, running to fill Oberweis’ seat, also criticized the governor’s response to the pandemic, comparing his behavior to that of a “Socialist dictator.” “His unconstitutional mandate was supposed to end after 30 days, and it was defeated in court last week,” she said. “Yet he still keeps on making rules and laws as if he was a socialist dictator.” “If you are not free to enter public spaces and go shopping without a face covering, you are not free. If you are not free to hold church services and worship God while abortion clinics continue their murderous spree, you are not free,” Ward told the crowd. “If you aren’t opening your business to the public without government permission, you are not free. If you’re not free to take your children to public playgrounds that you pay for, you are not free. If you’re not free to send your children to school, paid for with your money, and allow them to play freely with other children, you are not free.” “It’s amazing to me how ‘my body, my choice’ only applies to certain things. That’s only if you want to kill the unborn,” she said. “2020 is not just a fight for the heart and soul of Illinois,” McCullagh reminded the crowd during his remarks. “It’s a fight for the heart and soul of our country.”)

https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2020/07/11/bidens-2020-party-platform-proposal-seeks-to-abolish-americas-suburban-communities/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Joe Biden’s radical proposal for the Democrat Party platform for 2020 seeks to put an end to America’s suburban communities by forcing low-income housing into every neighborhood and flooding every community with immigrants, legal or otherwise. The proposal, known as the Biden-Sanders Unity Task Force Recommendations, would provide instant amnesty and a pathway to U.S. citizenship for the 22 million illegal aliens now living in the nation. Astoundingly, it would also give legal status to all the world’s refugees regardless of the legitimacy of their claim to the status.)

https://townhall.com/columnists/wayneallynroot/2020/07/12/was-this-our-last-fourth-of-july-n2572321
(FROM THE ARTICLE: In 2014, I wrote the book “The Murder of the Middle Class.” Don’t look now, but sadly … tragically … it’s really happening. The left is crazy, extreme, radical, violent and ready for civil war. The Republican right — outside of President Trump — is a bunch of pathetic wimps ready to raise the white flag. We are the closest we’ve ever been to losing America. Have you ever seen as many spineless Republican politicians as we see today? Black Lives Matter is a Marxist group that is said to fund the Democratic National Committee. Republican Sen. Mike Braun says he supports Black Lives Matter. He also supports eliminating qualified immunity for cops. That’s the end of police in America. With Republicans like him, who needs enemies? Republican Sen. Mitt Romney marched with Black Lives Matter. How can anyone be such a dupe?)

I should write a book about that. They would not have done that if I had been a Democrat, minority, female, and/or veteran. They outrageously painted the graduate business courses that I had taken at Loyola and the graduate accounting courses that I had taken at DePaul a) as being not job-related, b) as not helping me carry out my job duties, and c) as being taken by me to get a job in the private sector.)

BLOOMBERG
— Wall Street campaign to hire Black talent isn’t going so well – Kelsey Butler (DIERSEN: GAO audits federal financial industry regulators. Compare and contrast how GAO treats its Democrat employees who are minority, female, and/or younger. GAO focuses on retaining and promoting its Democrat employees who are minority, female, and/or younger. To make way for them, GAO gets rid of its employees who are Republican, White, male, and/or non-veteran who do not make 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.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: For Black professionals who get job offers on Wall Street, there’s pay and benefits to consider. But also isolation, bias and racism. As big U.S. banks and asset managers vow at long last to address the industry’s dearth of Black executives, those who have been around a while warn progress will require more than the usual hiring spree. Offices remain alienating and even inhospitable. Most organizations lack mentors who can help guide the way up the org chart. Recruiters say top Black candidates have learned to be skeptical. “Folks are looking for welcome signs,” said Anthony Wright, founder of Diversity Recruiters, a Seattle-based executive search firm that helps clients including banks with inclusive hiring. “And when you’re a minority, the sign doesn’t say ‘Welcome,’ the sign says ‘Is there anybody there that looks like me?’ ”)

(FROM THE PROMOTION: This event will celebrate the retirement of the majority rule over the second-largest county in the state, which we predict will happen after the county election this November. We hope to educate participants about and demand the removal of Peter DiCianni, a member of the DuPage County board who has shown disrespect towards his constituents and the black community as well as endangered their health, as detailed by Hinsdale for BLM here and by multiple news outlets (Patch, MySuburbanLife.com). We also are pushing for 22 state policy initiatives that could be done in the next Illinois legislative session that would help stop the killing of BIPOC when they are signed into law. We will aim to raise awareness about things like the Census, Mail-in Voting, and the Illinois Fair Tax proposal. This event includes speakers (local candidates, youth activists and organizers, and educators), a COVID-19 testing car caravan, voter registration, public commenters sent to the DuPage County board meeting, a march, music, and a celebration to mark the upcoming retirement of the Republican majority in the board, which we predict will happen by the end of this year.)
