NATIONAL INTEREST
— Democrats Will Use Coronavirus To Get What They Wanted All Along Pelosi has
even admitted it. – Matt Weidinger (DIERSEN: Democrats are moral relativists
who believe that their end justifies their means.) https://nationalinterest.org/blog/buzz/democrats-will-use-coronavirus-get-what-they-wanted-all-along-132672 (FROM THE ARTICLE: Rahm
Emanuel, then chief of staff to President-elect Obama, famously said in late
2008 “You never want a serious crisis to go to waste. And what I mean by that
[is]
it’s an opportunity to do things that you think you could not do before.”
Dubbed “Rahm’s rule,” the same principle may be informing some policy responses
to the coronavirus. Indeed, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Minority
Leader Chuck Schumer are packaging significant chunks of their longstanding
legislative agenda under the guise of responding to the coronavirus: “In light
of reports that the Trump administration is considering new tax cuts for major
corporations impacted by the coronavirus, we are demanding that the
administration prioritize the health and safety of American workers and their
families over corporate interests.”)

— Antonio Sabàto Jr: Supporting Trump got me blacklisted – JUDY KURTZ
(DIERSEN: Who blacklists Trump-supporters in your neighborhood, in your precinct,
in your municipal district, in your municipality, in your township, and in your
county? By definition, blacklisters have lots of religious, government,
political, and/or financial clout. I should write a book about the blacklisters
in my precinct, in Wheaton’s West District, in Wheaton, in Milton Township, and
in DuPage County. I would focus on blacklisters who paint themselves as being
religious, conservative, and/or Republican.) https://thehill.com/blogs/in-the-know/in-the-know/485922-antonio-sabato-jr-backing-trump-got-me-blacklisted (FROM THE ARTICLE:
Antonio Sabàto Jr. says he’s working construction after being “blacklisted”
by Hollywood for his support of President Trump. “All my representatives
left me, from agents to managers to commercial agents. I literally had to move,
find a new job to survive and take care of my kids,” the former Calvin
Klein model said in an interview this week with Variety. “It’s been
terrible. It’s mind-blowing. It’s a disgrace. It’s tough, because if you’re in
that environment in Hollywood and you have something to say that they don’t
like, they’re going to let you know,” Sabàto said. The 48-year-old former
“Melrose Place” actor was one of a handful of entertainers to vocally
support Trump’s 2016 White House bid, and spoke at that year’s Republican
National Convention. “I was the first celebrity to come out and talk about the
president, and he had my vote from day one,” Sabàto told the magazine. But
after Trump won office, Sabàto says his job offers in the entertainment
industry dried up, forcing him to pack up and move to Florida for construction
work. “I go on the job at two in the morning, and I’m making sure that the job
is controlled and supervised by me. I’m in the car all day, driving, going
through all the sites. Five days a week, nonstop,” he explained. The
one-time GOP House candidate — Sabàto lost a 2018 bid to unseat Rep. Julia Brownley
(D-Calif.) — claims other pro-Trump performers are reluctant to publicly
vocalize their support for the commander in chief. “I know a lot of actors who
are lying about who they’re going to vote for because they don’t want the
crap,” Sabàto said. “They won’t want to be talked about and fired from movie
sets. This is serious.” “The reality is the power that makes movies happen in
Hollywood — casting directors, producers, executive producers, directors —
they’re all liberal,” said Sabàto, while also noting he’ll vote for
Trump’s reelection in November. “They hate anyone or anything who supports
this president.”)

authority on U.S. foreign policy. Political observers and other veterans who
served in Afghanistan interviewed by The Times suggest that beneath the
surface, Mr. Buttigieg could be walking into a trap. “It’s a weak story,” said
one national GOP political strategist who has worked on presidential campaigns.
“If the entire foundation of your foreign policy experience is built around
your time as a low-ranking officer staring at a green computer screen, you’re

— Community must have voice in selecting trustees – Willy Cushwa https://www.columbian.com/news/2020/feb/23/local-view-community-must-have-voice-in-selecting-trustees/ (FROM THE ARTICLE:
Candidates would have to publicly explain and defend their qualifications,
positions on issues, and vision for the college — which doesn’t happen in the
current selection process. Improved communication with constituents would also
be necessary during a term of service, especially if a trustee sought
re-election. I suspect that local reporters and community members would
appreciate a more direct way to obtain information and answers to questions,
instead of relying on public record requests. I have no doubts that the current
and former Clark College Trustees are educated, professionally experienced, and
committed to the community. However, I believe the more pertinent question is
“Are they the most qualified and suitable individuals to guide the college and
oversee its operations?”)
