REASON
— Abolishing the Filibuster Is About Power, Not Anti-Racism Even Joe Biden and Barack Obama were willing to acknowledge this basic fact just a few years ago. – ERIC BOEHM
(DIERSEN: According to Democrats, those who are in the majority discriminate against those who are in the minority. In what ways are you in the minority? Only 157 in my precinct voted for Trump while 269 voted for Biden. Only 26,080 in Milton Township voted for Trump while 39,530 voted for Biden.

https://reason.com/2021/03/26/abolishing-the-filibuster-is-about-power-not-anti-racism/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: As the Senate majority prepared to abolish the filibuster in order to advance its political agenda, a long-tenured member of the chamber issued a stern warning. “We should make no mistake. This nuclear option is ultimately an example of the arrogance of power. It is a fundamental power-grab by the majority party,” then-Sen. Joe Biden (D–Del.) said during a speech delivered on May 23, 2005, from the Senate floor. Calling it “the single most significant” vote he would cast in more than three decades as a member of the Senate, Biden admonished Republicans for trying to blow up the filibuster to get judicial nominees confirmed with a simple majority. “Folks who want to see this change want to eliminate one of the procedural mechanisms designed for the express purpose of guaranteeing individual rights and they also, as a consequence, would undermine the protections of the minority point of view in the heat of majority excess,” he said.)

GOPUSA
— The Border Crisis May Be Coming To Your Kids’ School
https://www.gopusa.com/?p=107674
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The media show photos of young migrant children. Don’t fall for that. Three-quarters of these unaccompanied minors are young men ages 15 to 17. Think tattoos, not teddy bears. These teens are carrying the name and phone number of a relative in the U.S. who will sponsor them. A few weeks after surrendering to border officials, they’ll board buses to Los Angeles, Houston or New York City — the three most frequent destinations — or elsewhere in the U.S. where their sponsor lives. It’s the beginning of a hard road. The law requires them to go to school. But they’ve endured trauma on their trek and missed months or years of schooling. Few speak English, and many don’t know Spanish, only Mayan. Their education will cost thousands of dollars a year more than for the average student because they’ll need linguistic experts, tutors, psychological counseling, vaccinations and other support. They also consume most of a classroom teacher’s attention, leaving the rest of the class to make do with less. Even so, only 66% of students without English skills ever graduate. They will struggle, but so will our own kids. This migration wave is hitting schools just as they’re reopening after the pandemic. Students have missed an entire year of school activities. For school districts with tight budgets, the added costs of educating these young newcomers will mean an end to art classes, band and orchestra, and other enrichment activities.)

BLOOMINGTON PANTAGRAPH
— Illinois GOP chairman Don Tracy hopes to unify party’s factions, defeat Pritzker next year – BRENDEN MOORE
(DIERSEN: Political parties exist to help elect candidates who can and will defend and advance their platform. I have always been a platform Republican. I should write a book about Illinois Republican Party leaders who have worked the hardest since 2000 to get rid of Republicans like me who support the traditional marriage/family, right to life, immigration, illegal drugs, Second Amendment, and equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) planks in the Republican Party platform.)
https://www.pantagraph.com/news/state-and-regional/govt-and-politics/illinois-gop-chairman-don-tracy-hopes-to-unify-partys-factions-defeat-pritzker-next-year/article_9fb79584-66de-5b8a-8d47-5acfddd9bd71.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Tracy is hoping to take the same approach with the Illinois Republican Party, an organization that has been divided between the traditional moderate wing that dominated for decades with central figures like Jim Thompson and Jim Edgar; and an ascendant, conservative wing that has gained traction with the rise of the Tea Party movement and the election of President Donald Trump in 2016. “I think those are the kind of issues that are somewhat similar for a party,” Tracy said. “And you can recognize pretty early on in a family business in a large family that the perfect is the enemy of the good. And in the Republican Party, unfortunately, we’ve had experience with people thinking you have to be perfect to be a Republican, and that that’s not true.” . . . However, Tracy said he will put practicality over purity as he seeks to steer his party back to relevance. He said he envisions a big tent party. In fact, it’s a necessity. “The Reagan rule is 80%. If someone agrees with you on 80% of the issues if a Republican, that means that that Republican is your ally, not your enemy,” Tracy said. “If we don’t unite the party, almost nothing else that we do next year will matter,” Tracy said. “We’re a minority party — a Republican Party in a deep blue state. And we have to have all Republicans working together, not always agreeing about everything, but working together to make this state into a two-party state again.” . . . Exacerbating the problem is a national party that is increasingly out of step with the diversifying, socially moderate Chicago suburbs, albeit increasingly reflective of conservative bastions downstate.)

Elliot and McCully, along with fellow missionaries Nate Saint, Peter Fleming, and Roger Youderian, initially made friendly contact with the tribe and exchanged gifts for several months. On Jan. 8, 1956, however, a group of Huaorani warriors fell upon them, spearing them to death and throwing their bodies in the river.)

— Democrats and Republicans live in partisan bubbles, study finds – Christina Pazzanese
(DIERSEN: What kind of bubble do you live in? 269 in my precinct voted for Biden, but only 157 voted for Trump. 39,530 voted for Biden in Milton Township, but only 26,080 voted for Trump. 281,222 voted for Biden in DuPage County, but only 193,611 voted for Trump. Ever-increasingly, I am a Republican who lives in a Democrat bubble. I should write a book about that.)
https://phys.org/news/2021-03-democrats-republicans-partisan.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: New research on political behavior finds that most Democratic and Republican voters live in partisan bubbles, with little daily exposure to those who belong to the other party. For instance the typical Democrat has “almost zero interactions” with Republicans in their neighborhood, according to an article by Harvard doctoral student Jacob R. Brown and government Professor Ryan D. Enos published March 8 in the journal Nature Human Behaviour. “There’s a lot of evidence that any separation between groups has a lot of negative consequences. We see this in race; we see this in religion; we see this in all kinds of things,” said Enos. “And increasingly, we see this in partisanship in the United States.” . . . No area of the country is immune to the segregation, but its intensity varies. Democrats in large, densely populated cities like New York are the most politically isolated, with 10 percent of them encountering a Republican only one out of 10 times in their neighborhood. Republicans in rural areas are similarly segregated. Overall, most Democrats and Republicans live in levels of partisan segregation that exceed what scholars of racial segregation consider highly segregated, the study found. . .”Even within a neighborhood, Democrats and Republicans are separating from each other a little bit,” said Enos. That seems like “an almost unnatural level of segregation” given the similarities people from the same neighborhood usually share and “might indicate there’s something pretty pernicious going on,” he added.)

— Trump Loyalists Spurn “Failed Republican Establishment Of Yesteryear”
(DIERSEN: Political parties exist to help elect candidates who can and will defend and advance their platform. The Republican Party platform is conservative. Establishment Republicans dominate the Republican Party, Illinois Republican Party, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, Milton Township Republican Organization, etc. Establishment Republicans are anti-conservative. Establishment Republicans reject some, most, if not all the planks in the Republican Party platform, most commonly, its traditional marriage/family, right to life, immigration, illegal drugs, Second Amendment, and/or equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) planks. Establish Republicans look down on, if not despise, if not hate those like me who support the aforesaid planks. Establishment Republicans blame those like me who support the aforesaid planks for all the losses that Republicans have suffered in Illinois, in DuPage County, in Milton Township, and in Wheaton.)
