ILLINOIS FAMILY INSTITUTE
— In Chicago, Schools Re-Write History With “1619” Lies – Alex Newman (DIERSEN: Ever-increasingly, to send your children to a public school is to make them “good little Democrats,” that is, to make them anti-Trump, anti-Protestant, anti-conservative, anti-patriotic, anti-Republican, anti-American, anti-White, anti-male, anti-older people, anti-rich people, anti-gun owners, anti-German Americans, anti-draft avoiders, and/or anti-those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time.)
https://illinoisfamily.org/education/in-chicago-schools-re-write-history-with-1619-lies/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: In Chicago Public Schools, captive students are being indoctrinated to believe that one of the very first societies in the world to end slavery was actually a monster defined by the evils of slavery — almost as if this monstrous nation had invented it. This narrative is peddled despite the fact that the nation in question sacrificed hundreds of thousands of its finest men to eradicate slavery — not only ending it domestically, but eventually, worldwide, too. And this slanderous lie is peddled despite the fact that institution of slavery has been ubiquitous throughout human history — at least until America and the Christian West put an end to it. Indeed, in the African nation of Mauritania, slavery did not even become a crime until 2007, and the institution remains firmly entrenched there, as it does across broad swaths of Africa and the Middle East. But supposedly, it’s America that is evil. Welcome to upside world of America’s “progressives” — the post-modernist absurdity where good is evil, evil is good, up is down, and truth does not even really exist.)

But here in Waukesha County, a patchwork of suburbs, small cities and rural areas west of Milwaukee that holds more Republican votes than any other county in this crucial swing state, there was a nervous excitement. Yard signs have been flying off the shelves in the county Republican Party’s headquarters in a strip mall near a vegan food supply store. More than 150 people showed up for a State of the Union watch party on Tuesday night, applauding and cheering in a giant hall. And volunteers like Diane Schlosser, a 63-year-old homemaker, have been walking in off the street to sign up.)

HERALD NEWS
— Crete pro-Trump rally organizers defend against allegations of holding anti-LGBTQ event – ALEX ORTIZ (DIERSEN: This rally was held at the northeast corner of Main & Exchange in Crete where I spent the first 5 years of my life in an apartment above my grandfather’s hardware store.)
https://www.theherald-news.com/2020/02/04/crete-pro-trump-rally-organizers-defend-against-allegations-of-holding-anti-lgbtq-event/aompcju/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The organizers of a rally in support of President Donald Trump in Crete last Saturday have been defending themselves against allegations that their event was anti-LGBTQ. Brandon Harris, an organizer from Joliet, said about 100 people attended the rally. He added that some community members made critical comments on social media about one attendee’s rainbow-colored flag which read, “Trump 2020. (Expletive) your feelings.” Harris is the executive director of Freedom Movement USA, a political action committee that has organized multiple rallies like the one in Crete around the Midwest and specifically in Will County, in the weeks since Trump was impeached. Harris said the criticism was a misunderstanding and that the attendee’s flag was not intended to be anti-LGBTQ, but simply supportive of Trump. “We support gay men and women,” he said. “We support good people who have conservative values.” Brandon Perry, 23, a Beecher native, said he was the attendee who brought the flag. He said he purchased a pro-Trump rainbow flag because he is gay. “I wanted people to see that gay people do support the president,” Perry said. Harris also said he’s worked with conservative activists who identify as LGBTQ within his organization. He said Freedom Movement USA even partnered with the Log Cabin Republicans of Illinois, a conservative group focused on LGBTQ inclusivity. Ethan Slyder, the president of the Log Cabin Republicans of Illinois, voiced support for Harris and his organization via a statement saying they’ve treated those of every race, gender, creed and sexual orientation “with the utmost respect.” Harris said he and his fellow organizers also had heard concerns from locals on social media about the rally taking place at the intersection of Main and Exchange streets near the Crete United Methodist Church. Amy Perez, a resident of nearby Steger who also helped organize the rally, said she’d seen the backlash on social media, including concerns that the rally happened near the church. She said she wanted to make sure the public understood the rally was not a church event. That was also the concern of Rev. Kristen Larsen, the lead pastor at Crete United Methodist. She said she’d heard anecdotally in the days after the rally that some community members were wondering whether it was a church event. “We didn’t know anything about this,” Larsen said. Perez added that while the reaction was not quite what she’d expected, their primary goal was to “unite the people of the town.”)

LAS VEGAS REVIEW JOURNAL
— A collision between the welfare state, immigration – Editorial (DIERSEN: What percent of immigrants need/want massive government assistance to succeed?) 
https://www.reviewjournal.com/opinion/editorials/editorial-a-collision-between-the-welfare-state-immigration-1950356/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: America is built on the hopes and dreams of immigrants. But for the first 190 years of this nation’s existence, those immigrants arrived on our shores largely without any expectation of public handouts for food, shelter, medical care or anything else. Today, progressives advocate turning that equation on its head in a race for votes cynically cloaked as compassion. It was only 24 years ago that President Bill Clinton, a Democrat, signed a law holding immigrant sponsors responsible for the costs of any welfare benefits received by their charges. Current law also already prevents legal immigrants from collecting means-tested federal benefits for five years. Is it so unreasonable that many U.S. taxpayers might balk at immediately subsidizing migrants who enter the country illegally? The debate over illegal immigration is too often dominated by extremists locked in a cage match over whether to throw open the borders or to conduct mass deportations. The distinction between legal and illegal immigration — along with the costs and economic value of each — becomes clouded. Where is the reasonable middle ground? A recent Harvard study, Reason magazine reports, found that many Americans would be less hostile toward immigration if advocates made “the case that immigrants don’t need handouts to succeed.” Viewed through that lens, perhaps the administration plan to restrict public assistance can be seen as pro-immigrant, while the Democratic demand that taxpayers write a check so illegal immigrants may collect the “free” stuff they propose is, ironically, precisely the opposite.)

Since 2004, those emails have provided links to more than 356,100 articles and information on many upcoming Republican political events.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Efforts by these groups and others have documented direct connections between the loss of local newspapers and increased taxes, increased government costs and decreased interest in local government, including fewer options in races for local leadership offices. “When important stories are not told, community members lack the information they need to participate in the political process and hold government and powerful private actors accountable,” writes Clara Hendrickson, a Brookings research analyst in a November 2019 essay titled “Why America Must Revive Its Local Newsrooms.” A newspaper is more than the printed pages you hold in your hand or scroll on your computer or smartphone. It is a team made up of editors, photographers, artists, reporters and more who keep watch on local affairs and seek out the information that readers use to manage their government and enhance their quality of life.)

— Palatine Republicans hold endorsement session The Palatine Township Republican Organization held an endorsement session for contested races across the state on Tuesday, January 28th. – Bill Pohlman (DIERSEN: I should write a book about political organizations a) that claim that they do not endorse candidates in primaries, but constructively do endorse candidates in primaries and b) that destroy their members who fail/refuse to destroy those candidates who were not endorsed by those organizations. I would focus on a) the Milton Township Republican Organization (MTRO), DuPage County Republican Central Committee (DCRCC), and Illinois Republican Party (IRP), b) the candidates who MTRO, DCRCC, and IRP constructively endorsed since 2000, and c) the MTRO, DCRCC, and IRP members, including me, who MTRO, DCRCC, and IRP destroyed. Since 2001, those who dominate the MTRO, DCRCC, and IRP have viciously destroyed me for supporting Pat O’Malley for governor in the primary instead of Jim Ryan.

— GAO finding no surprise – BOB JACK, North Las Vegas, Nev. (DIERSEN: My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes side with the Democrats who run GAO against me. What does that say about my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes?)
https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2020/jan/21/letters-to-the-editor-gao-finding-no-surprise/
(FROM THE LETTER: Recently, the Government Accountability Office, a component of Congress, found President Trump guilty of withholding funds from the Ukrainians (“Trump says GAO is part of ‘the Swamp’ after watchdog finds he broke law on Ukraine aid,” Web, Jan. 17). Let’s be clear: The GAO is a deep-state creature composed of bureaucrats who are left-wing sympathizers and anti-Trumpers. The malaise which infects the general federal bureaucracy that created the deep state likewise is at work in the purportedly bipartisan GAO. The American people have lost their power to influence the direction of the country by the election of the president. Instead, lifelong left-leaning bureaucrats serve as a resistance mechanism working against the will of the people, who seek to move the country in the direction of constitutional integrity and traditional ideals. The American people must deal with the problem of the deep state by forcefully asserting their will at the ballot box until the scourge of the deep state has been purged and democracy is restored to the nation.)

— Progressives Treat the Unequal as Equal – PHILIP CARL SALZMAN (DIERSEN: What did you do to qualify yourself for better paying jobs? I earned a) a job-related bachelor’s degree when I was 21 in 1970 and job-related master’s degrees when I was 27, 31, and 48, b) job-related professional certifications when I was 30, 32, 41, 45, 47, and 48, and c) a job-related professional license when I was 32.)
https://pjmedia.com/news-and-politics/progressives-treat-the-unequal-as-equal/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: In the 21st century in America and elsewhere, self-described progressives strove to display virtue and gain power through advocating a maximalist position on equality. Equality of opportunity, still imperfectly implemented, was jettisoned in favor of equality of result or outcome. Any inequality, from whatever source, was deemed by progressive to be evil and requiring correction. This has led to the attempt by progressives to treat inequalities among parties as illegitimate, and imposed equality as obligatory. As a result, many new proposed equalities were specious. Here are some examples. Progressives, including most Democrats and most candidates for the Democratic nomination for president, now claim equality and equivalence between criminal illegal aliens who have entered the country by stealth, and legal immigrants who have been admitted by government procedures, and citizens. Progressives advocate open borders, allowing anyone who arrives to enter the country, and providing for them the same medical and welfare benefits given to legal immigrants and native-born citizens. One reason for supporting open borders is that progressives see America as an oppressive race hierarchy, and open borders would allow the intake of multitudes of people of color, thus displacing the evil American whites. Progressives do not think that illegal aliens, even criminals, should be expelled, and demand that the Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agency (ICE) be restricted or disbanded. Many Democrat-controlled jurisdictions have declared themselves sanctuaries for illegal immigrants, flouting laws passed by Congress.)
