https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2021/nov/2/conservative-pundit-prager-says-he-feels-muzzled-b/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: “If I say the ‘wrong thing’ — whatever that might be — on my Fireside Chat podcast for PragerU, I can be yanked off YouTube or Facebook. When big business and big government work together to muzzle free speech, that’s fascism,” Mr. Prager said. The nationally syndicated talk show host’s comments came as his company PragerU continues to wage a long legal battle against Google’s YouTube. The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals last year ruled unanimously against Mr. Prager‘s claim of illegal censorship of conservatives. But Mr. Prager continues to allege that YouTube prevents PragerU from advertising videos due to unexplained violations of community guidelines, restricting other videos as likewise inappropriate and adding a disclaimer that the content may be factually incorrect. “Never in the history of this country has free speech been in such jeopardy. What’s even more shocking is that the threat is not coming directly from the government but from woke corporations,” Mr. Prager said.)

MICHIGAN DAILY
— APRIL 12, 2021 FLASHBACK: Republicans aren’t conservative anymore – Lydia Storella
(COMMENT: What should I say to my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes who stress that none of following came to my defense when Wheaton and the Wheaton Park District (WPD) stopped me this year from raising funds from DuPage Republicans so that DuPage Republicans could help sponsor Wheaton’s Independence Day parade and fireworks: a) leaders of the Milton Township Republican Organization, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, Illinois Republican Party, etc.; b) Republican leaders of Wheaton, WPD, Wheaton Chamber of Commerce, Milton Township, DuPage County, Illinois, etc.; c) conservative leaders; d) religious leaders; and e) Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct, their political consultants, major donors, fundraisers, pollsters, campaign managers, campaign staff members, campaign volunteers, f) etc.? What should I say to those who stress that none of those who contributed funds in the past came to my defense including the following: Michael Barbier, Bob Berlin, Peter Breen, Liam Brennan, Fred Bucholz, Mike Burke, Joe Cantore, Roger Claar, Franco Coladipietro, Mike Connelly, Dan Cronin, Tom Cross, Kirk Dillard, Grant Eckhoff, Tim Elloitt, Sherry Falbo, Paul Fullerton, Bob Gibson, Amy Grant, Bob Grogan, Chris Heidorn, Gwen Henry, Paul Hinds, Babette Holder, Jeanne Ives, Robert Jacobsen, Richard Jorgensen, Chris Kachiroubas, Marty Keller, Bob Kleeman, Mark Kmiecik, Mark Kirk, Brian Krajewski, Bob Larsen, Robert Lyon, Jeff MacKay, Deanne Mazzochi, Paula McGowen, James Mendrick, John Millner, Dave Molitor, John Monino, Chris Nybo, Jim Oberweis, Debra Olson, Sandy Pihos, Karyn Romano, Peter Roskam, Darlene Ruscitti, Evelyn Sanguinetti, Phil Suess, Brian Telander, John Vires, Ann Celine Walsh, Tim Whelan, Kevin Wiley, Karen Wilson, John Zaruba, and Jim Zay. Should one construe that the aforesaid will not seek a government or political office as a Republican in the future? Should one construe that the aforesaid have “moved to the left?” Should one construe that the aforesaid have become anti-conservative? Or should one construe that my critics/opponents have promised to destroy ANYONE who might come to my defense? If Wheaton and the WPD “let” me raise funds from DuPage Republicans to help sponsor Wheaton’s 2022 Independence Day parade and fireworks like I did 2005-2019, will candidates on June 28, 2022 Republican primary ballots in DuPage County contribute? If not, why not?)

— Illinois quickly becoming a one-party tyranny as bad officials drag it down – Ray Hanania
https://suburbanchicagoland.com/2021/10/27/illinois-quickly-becoming-a-one-party-tyranny-as-bad-officials-drag-it-down/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Failed Democrats like Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot and Cook County State’s Attorney Kim Foxx are not only dragging Cook County down the tubes but they are also dragging the state down with it. Failure of officials like Gov. J.B. Pritzker to speak out against Lightfoot and Foxx tend to aggravate the state’s dysfunctional policies as businesses and homeowners flee to other states. Among those leaving are Chicago Police officers who are being chased out by Lightfoot’s failed policies. The Chicago mess is reflected in the tightening grip Democrats have on the congressional seats as diversity in views vanishes and undermines the public understanding of issues.)

(COMMENT: GAO works for Congress. In Diersen v.

My Democrat GAO superiors forced me to retire in 1997 when I was 49 years old, gave me unfair performance expectations and appraisals, always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes, did not promote me beyond GS-13, got rid of my mentor in 1987, kept me off audits of IRS for all but 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for GAO, and forced me to take a $20,361 (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980.)

THE HILL
— Anti-Trump Republicans endorsing vulnerable Democrats to prevent GOP takeover – TAL AXELROD
(DIERSEN: I should write a book about those who have worked harder against conservative Republican candidates on primary ballots in my precinct since 2000 than they have ever worked against Democrat candidates in general elections. I would focus on past and present leaders of the Illinois Republican Party, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Milton Township Republican Organization. I would focus on Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct since 2000, their political consultants, their major donors, their fundraisers, their pollsters, their campaign managers, their campaign staff members, and their campaign volunteers.)
https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/576762-anti-trump-republicans-endorsing-vulnerable-democrats-to-prevent-gop
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Among the endorsees are the handful of Republicans who have criticized Trump, including Rep. Liz Cheney (Wyo.), who is the former president’s public enemy No. 1 over her repeated criticism of him over the insurrection, and Rep. Adam Kinzinger (Ill.), who may not have a seat to run for after redistricting in Illinois.)
