CRAIN’S CHICAGO BUSINESS — This Kinzinger fundraiser is a who’s who of local GOP politics. And headlining the embattled and outspoken Trump critic’s event this evening: Karl Rove. – GREG HINZ https://www.chicagobusiness.com/greg-hinz-politics/kinzinger-fundraiser-whos-who-local-gop-politics (FROM THE ARTICLE: Signing on as co-sponsors of the event, according to a list obtained by Crain’s, are such top Republican fundraisers as former Trump administration Ambassador to Belgium Ron Gidwitz, financier Muneer Satter and industrialist Craig Duchossois. Also on the invite list are former corporate execs such as John Rowe and John Canning. . .The Kinzinger camp isn’t yet saying how much they expect the event will raise for his congressional campaign fund. But with tickets going for $250 to $4,600, and with well over 100 names on the sponsors list, you can expect a number into the six figures.)

Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.), one of 10 House Republicans who voted to impeach Trump, has launched a super PAC to challenge pro-Trump lawmakers and morph the GOP from a “Trump-first party” to a “country-first party.”)

To “eliminate the competition between states that they are losing,” lefties are “pushing bills that would put the federal government in charge of states’ labor laws, fiscal policies and voting rules” — from stimulus funds that prohibit state-level tax cuts to ballot-box “reforms” intended to enhance blue turnout in red places. These “egregious power-grabs” are “downright authoritarian.”)

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.)

And now, Adam Kinzinger is teaming up with Karl Rove, one of the architects of the war in Iraq, who helped elect George W. Bush — someone who, after Trump, is one of the worst Presidents in modern history — and to this day still defends the Bush administration’s use of torture.” “Adam Kinzinger is attempting to rebrand his image so people will forget how extreme his voting record is. But even while Adam Kinzinger is now throwing Donald Trump under the bus, he continues to align him himself with some of the worst members of his party. We can acknowledge Kinzinger for standing up and impeaching Trump, but we can’t forget who he has always been — an extreme Republican.” Karl Rove has a history of incorrigible behavior and practices, including just last year his use of racially loaded language when he attacked President Obama for speaking at a historically black college and, in Rove’s words, committing a “political drive-by shooting.”) — 1,220 new confirmed and probable cases; 22 additional deaths; 1,182 hospitalized; 233 in ICU; 2.6 percent average case positivity rate; 2.9 percent average test positivity rate; 92,148 average daily doses https://capitolfax.com/2021/03/22/1220-new-confirmed-and-probable-cases-22-additional-deaths-1182-hospitalized-233-in-icu-26-percent-average-case-positivity-rate-29-percent-average-test-positivity-rate-92148-average-daily-doses/

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.) — California’s Redistributionist Approach To Everything https://www.gopusa.com/?p=107737
