THE HILL
— The media trust gap between conservatives and liberals continues to grow. Here’s why – JOE CONCHA (COMMENT: Anti-conservatives, their operatives, and their dupes do everything that they can a) to stop me from sending out GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters and b) to stop everyone from reading those newsletters. I should write a book about those anti-conservatives, their operatives, and their dupes who have done the most a) to stop me from sending out GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters and b) to stop everyone from reading those newsletters. I would focus on past and present a) leaders of the Illinois Republican Party, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Milton Township Republican Organization, b) Republican leaders of Illinois, DuPage County, Milton Township, Wheaton, Wheaton Chamber of Commerce, and Wheaton Park District, and c) Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct, their political consultants, their major donors, their fundraisers, their campaign managers, their campaign staff members, and their campaign volunteers.)

NEW YORK TIMES
— The Strange Tale of the Freedom Phone, a Smartphone for Conservatives. A 22-year-old Bitcoin millionaire wants Republicans to ditch their iPhones for a low-end handset that he hopes to turn into a political tool. – Jack Nicas
https://www.nytimes.com/2021/09/06/technology/freedom-phone-smartphone-conservatives.html
— COMMENT: Ever-increasingly, Democrats viciously demonize, denigrate, and condemn those who do not promote wearing masks.
https://www.nytimes.com/2021/09/06/opinion/coronavirus-masks-school-board-meetings.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Public schools have long been an irresistible battleground for America’s culture warriors. On issues ranging from sex education to desegregation, public prayer to evolution to the Pledge of Allegiance, cultural cage matches are frequently fought on the backs of local schools, with board members, educators and students too often caught in the fray.)
— Dawn Turner Looks Back on Her ’70s Girlhood, and Those Who Got Left Behind – Linda Villarosa (COMMENT: Did you seek admission to the University of Illinois in Urbana? I did not. Neither my parents nor I could afford it. But UIC did admit me in 1966. I could afford UIC a) because my parents provided me with room and board in their home in Crete, b) because I owned a new car to commute to/from classes and work that I had paid for with money that I had saved washing dishes for the minimum wage in the basement of the S.S. Kresges in Chicago Heights 1964-1966, and c) because I worked as many hours that I could part-time for the Park Forest Post Office.)
https://www.nytimes.com/2021/09/06/books/review/dawn-turner-three-girls-from-bronzeville.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Driving Turner’s narrative is a vexing question that continues to haunt her: How did she manage to accumulate the signifiers of success — a college degree, a career, a husband, a home outside the city — while Kim lost a baby as a teenager, sank into alcoholism and died of a heart attack at 23; and Debra battled drug addiction and eventually shot a man to death? . . . Dawn, Debra and Kim all had a leg up in life, as so-called children of the dream: the first generation to realize the hard-won freedoms of the civil rights movement. But only Turner was able to grab hold of the advantages, entering the University of Illinois at Urbana on the early tide of affirmative action, one of just a thousand African American students in a sea of 34,500.)

NEW YORK POST
— Why most Americans no longer honor unions on Labor Day – Editorial (COMMENT: What is your attitude toward union members? I should write a book about those who have used my almost 12 years of union membership while I worked for the Post Office 1966-1969 and for IRS 1971-1980 against me the most. They hint/imply/argue/shout that because of federal unions, I was grossly overpaid and my benefits were far too generous. In today’s dollars, my salary increased from $48,445/year in 1971 to $97,395/year in 1980. In my defense, I earned a job-related bachelor’s degree (NIU-management) when I was 21 in 1970, a job-related master’s degree (Loyola- MBA) when I was 27, a job-related professional certification (CPA) when I was 30, and I had almost completed the requirements for a second job-related master’s degree (DePaul-Accounting).)

PSYCHOLOGY TODAY
— The Importance of Purpose in Life – Gary Drevitch (COMMENT: What are your purposes in life? Mine include using GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters to encourage the following to defend and advance the Republican Party platform including its traditional marriage/family, right to life, immigration, illegal drugs, Second Amendment, and equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) planks: a) Illinois Republican Party, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Milton Township Republican Organization, b) Republican leaders of Illinois, DuPage County, Milton Township, Wheaton, Wheaton Chamber of Commerce, and Wheaton Park District, and c) Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct, their political consultants, their major donors, their fundraisers, their campaign managers, their campaign staff members, and their campaign volunteers.)
