https://capitolfax.com/2021/08/04/live-pritzker-announces-mask-vax-mandates/
— FROM THE REPORT: ILGOP press release…As Governor J.B. Pritzker reinstitutes statewide COVID-19 mitigations and mandates, his re-election campaign is running ads highlighting his administration’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic, taking an obviously premature victory lap. Illinois Republican Party Chairman Don Tracy issued the following statement calling on Pritzker to take his TV ads off the airwaves : “Governor Pritzker cannot have it both ways. He cannot run political TV ads that take a victory lap over his pandemic response while at the same time reinstituting COVID mandates and mitigations. The return of these mandates is a clear admission of his own failure. Pritzker should take his self-serving TV ads off the air. Whether it’s veterans who have died under his care, massive unemployment insurance fraud, or the return of mandates after our state’s full re-opening, Pritzker’s executive incompetence has been the hallmark of his pandemic response.”

— Left’s lauded 1619 Project largely ignores at least one hugely significant historical fact – Robert Jonathan
https://www.bizpacreview.com/2021/08/04/lefts-lauded-1619-project-largely-ignores-at-least-one-hugely-significant-historical-fact-1113212/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: It would be difficult to overstate the Democratic Party’s enduring and baleful role in slavery and racism…The Democratic southern states, such as Georgia, specifically criticized the anti-slavery policies of President Lincoln’s Republican Party in their declarations of succession in the Civil War. Even after the war, [historian Jay] Cost notes, the Democratic Party’s “central purpose in the second half of the 19th century was specifically to prevent civil rights legislation from being implemented.” In response to black Republicans being elected in Southern states during Reconstruction, it was Democrats who enacted poll taxes and literacy tests to suppress the black vote. A Democratic president, Woodrow Wilson, resegregated the federal work force in Washington and hosted a White House screening of D.W. Griffith’s egregiously racist, white supremacist “Birth of a Nation.” As late as 1952, the running mate of Democratic presidential candidate Adlai Stevenson, John Sparkman, was an open segregationist. A significantly higher percentage of congressional Republicans voted for the 1964 Civil Rights Act than did congressional Democrats, and segregationists such as George Wallace were major figures in the Democratic Party until the 1970s..The absence of Democratic Party critiques is all the more conspicuous when you consider that the 1619 Project doesn’t shy away from critiquing the GOP….)

(DIERSEN: I bought a new town home in University Park in September of 1972 when I was 24 years old. The down payment came from what I earned a) working for IRS full-time for the previous 15 months, first in Chicago, and then in Harvey and b) working for the Firestone Store in Chicago Heights part-time for the previous 18 months and full-time for the 7 months before that. That income also enabled me to buy a new 1972 Corvette in 1971 and to pay for tuition and books for graduate business courses at Loyola for the previous 9 months.)

— How to have a retirement worth saving for – LIZ WESTON

(FROM THE ARTICLE: LIVE PURPOSEFULLY Without work-imposed structure, some people start to drift, with one day blurring into the next. Setting goals and taking steps to achieve them can help restore a sense of purpose and achievement, O’Neill says. O’Neill started her post-Rutgers life by setting five goals: finishing the book she was writing; staying active in financial education; cultivating friendships; “doing lots of fun things and new things”; and staying healthy by walking 10,000 steps daily, eating healthy foods and getting at least 7 hours of sleep each night. (Tending to your physical well-being is key: 81% of retirees in a 2014 Merrill Lynch study cited good health as a key ingredient for a happy retirement.) Achieving specific, measurable goals can help people redefine their concept of productivity, which is important to many people’s sense of self-worth, O’Neill says. Goals also can help offset a tendency to put things off. People who are used to saving and delayed gratification may have trouble “flipping the switch” to spending and enjoying their lives, O’Neill says. But time, good health and energy aren’t infinite. Many people in her 55+ community in Ocala, Florida, struggled during the pandemic not just because their plans were canceled, but because of an acute awareness that the clock was ticking, she says. “It wasn’t just two years lost, it was two good years,” O’Neill says. “You don’t know how many of those you have left.”)

NEW YORK TIMES
— Broadway Audiences Will Need Proof of Vaccination and Masks. Children under 12, who cannot be vaccinated, can show a negative test to attend. But the Metropolitan Opera and Carnegie Hall plan to bar them for now. – Michael Paulson
(DIERSEN: Of course, Democrats and RINOs will hint/imply/argue/shout that Republicans who are the following who say that they are vaccinated are lying: law enforcement officers, Trump supporters, conservative, patriotic, White, male, older, non-veteran, 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.)

— An apology to Native Americans was buried in a 2010 defense bill. Now, some want the president to say it aloud. – Emily McFarlan Miller
(DIERSEN: If I sought a government office or a political office, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes would stress a) that my ancestors on my father’s side homesteaded a farm in southeast Crete Township in 1854, b) that they sold that land in 1864 and bought land just northeast of downtown Crete, c) that my grandfather had a house built on that land in 1926, d) that I lived in that house 1954-1972, and e) that I inherited half interest in that house in 2016.)

— How to defeat the activist media – Donna Edmunds
(DIERSEN: I should write a book about politicians who paint themselves as being champions of the oppressed, that is, who paint themselves as being champions of mask wearers, vaccinated people, BLMers, CRTers, 1619ers, reparationers, minorities, females, younger people, LGBTQers, veterans, moderates, liberals, those who are not married, those who have dependents, those who have financial, health, and/or other problems, those who are in America illegally, non-Christians, non-Protestants, non-Italian Americans, non-German Americans, those whose ancestors have not been in America for a long time, dog owners, criminals, drinkers, gamblers, stoners, etc.)
https://www.conservativewoman.co.uk/how-to-defeat-the-activist-media/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A workable solution, therefore, to the problem of the activist media must necessarily be one in which postmodern theory is jettisoned in favour of a new approach. One which abandons the neo-Marxist oppressor/oppressed paradigm, and the ‘us v them’ mentality it fosters. One which rejects the denial of objective truths to which we can all hold. Truth, beauty, reason all exist, and we must not be afraid to say so.)

— OCTOBER 24, 2017 FLASHBACK: Who Shares and Comments on News?: A Cross-National Comparative Analysis of Online and Social Media Participation – Antonis Kalogeropoulos, Samuel Negredo, Ike Picone, Rasmus Kleis Nielsen
(DIERSEN: GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters fill a tremendous void in Illinois, DuPage County, and Milton Township. It would be great if the Illinois Republican Party would regularly share far more government and political news and commentary articles that are of statewide interest. It would be great if the DuPage County Republican Central Committee would regularly share far more government and political news and commentary articles that are of countywide interest. It would be great if the Milton Township Republican Organization would regularly share far more government and political news and commentary articles that are of township-wide interest.)
https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/2056305117735754
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Based on data from the 2016 Reuters Institute Digital News Report, and controlling for a range of factors, we find that (1) people who use social media for news and a high number of different social media platforms are more likely to also engage more actively with news outside social media by commenting on news sites and sharing news via email, (2) political partisans on both sides are more likely to engage in sharing and commenting particularly on news stories in social media, and (3) people with high interest in hard news are more likely to comment on news on both news sites and social media and share stores via social media (and people with high interest in any kind of news [hard or soft] are more likely to share stories via email).)
