CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— What is settler colonialism and what does it have to do with the Jews? – SCOTT SHAY
(COMMENT: Soon, if not already, Democrats will demand that all White male Republicans disclose a) when their ancestors came to America, b) when they first acquired land, c) a description of that land, and d) how they acquired that land. My ancestors on my father’s side immigrated in 1844, worked in a brick factory in Chicago 1844-1854, and homesteaded a farm in southeast Crete Township in 1854. My ancestors on my mother’s side immigrated during the 1840s and 1850s, were sharecroppers on land in Grant Park along the Indiana border, and subsequently bought that land.)

In 1986, my GAO mentor was finally able to get me assigned to audits of IRS and to promote me to GS-13, currently $102,188/year.)

In 1997, when I was 49 years old, my Democrat GAO superiors succeeded in a) forcing me to take their early retirement “offer,” b) giving my job to my Black subordinate, and c) giving my preferred corner office to him. Democrat plants, Libertarian plants, Green plants, Independent plants, and RINOs in the following side with my Democrat GAO superiors: Milton Township Republican Organization, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, Illinois Republican Party, Wheaton Chamber of Commerce, Wheaton Park District (WPD), Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, Illinois, TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois, Illinois Center Right Coalition, American Association of Political Consultants Midwest Chapter, conservative organizations, religious organizations, those who I have sued, and Democrat plant, Libertarian plant, Green plant, Independent plant, and RINO candidates on ballots in my precinct and their political consultants, major donors, fundraisers, pollsters, campaign managers, campaign staff members, and campaign volunteers.

USA TODAY
— When will Christians learn from the unending engagement cycle of evangelicalism and race? Evangelical culture is an unending story of engagement, retreat when pressures intensify, and regret at our failure to achieve any lasting change. – Ed Stetzer, Executive Director, Wheaton College Billy Graham Center
https://www.usatoday.com/story/opinion/2021/09/28/bible-evangelicals-duty-fight-racism/5847173001/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: As the executive director of the Wheaton College Billy Graham Center, one of my joys is leading people through our museum. Filled with historical artifacts and pictures, it’s a testimony to God’s faithfulness. One of my favorite pictures is of Billy Graham standing next to Martin Luther King Jr. I start by telling people how Graham took down segregation ropes for his meetings in the South. But the story doesn’t stop there. Historian Grant Wacker notes that as the civil rights movement intensified, Graham distanced himself from King by attempting to chart a moderate path. Decades later, Graham himself would speak of his lack of engagement in the civil rights movement as one of his great regrets. This same story of engagement, retreat and regret has come to define an evangelical culture that is bigger than Billy Graham.)

TECH CRUNCH
— News aggregator SmartNews raises $230 million, valuing its business at $2 billion – Sarah Perez
(COMMENT: GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters are free of charge and they contain no advertising.)
https://techcrunch.com/2021/09/15/news-aggregator-smartnews-raises-230-million-valuing-its-business-at-2-billion/

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Founded in 2012 in Japan, the company launched to the U.S. in 2014 and expanded its local news footprint early last year. While the app’s content team includes former journalists, machine learning is used to pick which articles are shown to readers to personalize their experience. However, one of the app’s key differentiators is how it works to pop users’ “filter bubbles” through its “News From All Sides” feature, which allows its users to access news from across a range of political perspectives. . .The aggregator’s business model is largely focused on advertising, as the company has said before that 85-90% of Americans aren’t paying to subscribe to news. But SmartNews’ belief is that these news consumers still have a right to access quality information. In total, SmartNews has relationships with more than 3,000 global publishing partners whose content is available through its service on the web and mobile devices. To generate revenue, the company sells inline ads and video ads, where revenue is shared with publishers. Over 75% of its publishing partners also take advantage of its “SmartView” feature. This is the app’s quick-reading mode, an alternative to something like Google AMP. Here, users can quickly load an article to read, even if they’re offline. The company promises publishers that these mobile-friendly stories, which are marked with a lightning bolt icon in the app, deliver higher engagement — and its algorithm rewards that type of content, bringing them more readers. Among SmartView partners are well-known brands like USA Today, ABC, HuffPost and others. Currently, over 70% of all SmartNews’ pageviews are coming from SmartView first.)

WASHINGTON POST
— We Can’t Educate Our Way to Racial Economic Equity – Michael Collins
(COMMENT: I worked for GAO’s Chicago office group that audited federal financial industry regulators 1990-1997. In 1992, IIT started a master’s degree program in financial markets and trading. (SEE: https://www.upi.com/Archives/1992/08/04/IIt-offers-new-financial-markets-graduate-degree/1463712900800/ ) The courses in that program were directly related to the work that the group did. Sadly, I was the only member of the group that took those courses. I earned a master’s degree from IIT in financial markets and trading in 1997. In 1997, when I was 49 years old, my Democrat GAO superiors succeeded in forcing me to take their early retirement “offer” so that they could give my Black subordinate my job and my preferred corner office.)
