(FROM THE ARTICLE:
Kirkwood said he recently purchased Long Sing Restaurant, a Waukegan restaurant
that has five video gambling machines. The purchase made Kirkwood a liquor
license holder in the city of Waukegan, which means under state law, he must
abstain from any votes on liquor-related issues, city attorney Bob Long said.
State law previously outright banned all local elected officials from holding
liquor licenses. Former aldermanic candidate Jack Dye, who ran unsuccessfully
for alderman in the 6th War and had raised the issue in a Facebook post, said
he would hope Kirkwood would also abstain from all votes related to gambling.
He also pointed to the level of campaign spending tied to gambling interests in
the last election.)

— St. Charles officials to debate recreational pot sales at Monday meeting –
Lauren Rohr (DIERSEN: Hopefully, at the Wheaton City Council meeting this
evening, others will again join me in again urging Wheaton to ban the sale of
pot. At the meeting, will residents of Wheaton’s West District, or anyone else,
urge the Wheaton City Council to select or to not select certain candidates to
fill the West District City Council vacancy? At the meeting, the Wheaton City
Council will go into closed session to discuss filling the vacancy.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: If
the city wants to ban sales, the process will be straightforward, he said. But
if they choose to allow sales, the proposed ordinances would have to go through
the zoning process, which includes giving adequate notice to residents, holding
a public hearing before the plan commission and additional approvals at the
committee and city council levels. “Effectively, things need to be done by
mid-November,” Koenen said. “It takes time to do it right.”
Monday’s discussion is expected to take place during the government operations
committee meeting, which is held after the 7 p.m. city council meeting at 2 E.
Main St.)

COLUMBIA JOURNAL REVIEW
— How conservative media has grown under Trump – Howard Polskin (DIERSEN: My
critics/opponents do not want the conservative media to grow.
Ever-increasingly, they do everything that they can a) to stop me from putting
GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails together and sending them out and b) to stop everyone
from reading those emails. At the Milton Township Republican Central Committee
Wednesday evening, August 14, 2019, at the Carol Stream Holiday Inn, after two
of their nasty threatening operatives falsely charged me with harassing Carol
Stream Holiday Inn employees, one of them in front of an extremely credible
witness said that he was going to stop everyone from reading GOPUSA ILLINOIS
emails.)

— Rasmussen: New Poll Shows Voters Trust Political News About As Much As They
Trust Wikipedia – Tim Hains (DIERSEN: No one should trust journalsts who deny
that they have an agenda. I have an agenda. It is to defend and promote
conservative and Republican principles.)
https://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2019/08/18/rasmussen_new_poll_shows_voters_trust_national_political_media_about_the_same_as_they_trust_wikipedia.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE:
Sunday on “Full Measure,” host Sharyl Attkisson discussed a new poll
showing a plurality of Americans think political media is more biased than it
was five years ago. She talks with pollster Scott Rasmussen, who said: “We
asked about national political reporters, are they credible, are they reliable?
And you know, a little more than one out of three people say yes. When we ask about
Wikipedia, we get the exact same answer. So what’s happening is we have a world
where people look at journalists like they look at Wikipedia. Gee, that’s an
interesting fact. I better check it myself.” “The media has a huge
credibility problem and it’s always had the problem,” he explained.
“Oh, we talk about it differently today. Now we talk about it as a
political bias. I think the issues have always been there. I mean, people were
complaining about the bias of Walter Cronkite back in the 1960s.” He
continued: “78% of voters say that what reporters do with political news
is promote their agenda. They think they use incidents as props for their
agenda rather than seeking accurately record what happened. Only 14% think that
a journalist is actually reporting what happened… If a reporter found out
something that would hurt their favorite candidate, only 36% of voters think
that they would report that. “So voters are looking at them as a political
activist, not as a source of information,” he concluded.)
NOQ REPORT
— Fake news really is the greatest threat to Republicans in 2020 – JD Rucker
(DIERSEN: My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes in the Milton
Township Republican Central Committee (MTRCC) unquestioningly believe anyone
who levels any kind of charge against me, for example, they unquestioningly
believe those MTRCC members who have charged me with harassing Carol Stream
Holiday Inn employees. I am considering publishing cease and desist letters
against those MTRCC members. Maybe I should just sue them.)

Wheaton, Glen Ellyn, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois work against
me, the more motivated that I am to help reelect Trump. I should write a book
about those in the MTRCC, DCRCC, IRP, Wheaton, Glen Ellyn, Milton Township,
DuPage County, and Illinois who work against me the hardest.)

Devine
https://nypost.com/2019/08/18/why-thousands-of-americans-come-together-to-hear-trump-speak/
(FROM THE ARTICLE:
Listen up, Trumpophobes. It’s not so hard to understand the president’s appeal.
Try going to one of his rallies and, instead of turning up your nose at the
Walmart people, listen and learn. The abuse of President Trump and his
supporters that passes for analysis from his opponents is a strategic error.
The more abuse, the more Trump’s base is energized to turn out on Election
Day.)
