CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— Words matter when you’re elected to represent America, Congresswoman Ramirez
https://www.yahoo.com/news/articles/editorial-words-matter-elected-represent-100000284.html
(FROM THE EDITORIAL When a member of Congress publicly declares allegiance to another country over the United States, it’s bound to raise eyebrows — and for good reason. That’s what happened when U.S. Rep. Delia Ramirez, speaking at an event in Mexico City, said: “I’m a proud Guatemalan before I’m an American.” Ramirez, whose district stretches from DuPage County to Chicago’s Northwest Side, has since attempted to clarify her intent, saying on X that “honoring my Guatemalan ancestry only strengthens my commitment to America.”)

— Gov. JB Pritzker riffs on his wealth and staying out of prison in Stephen Colbert appearance. Stephen Colbert told Pritzker he’d be the first Democratic governor in Illinois to finish two terms by next January, because “a lot of them end up in the hoosegow.” Pritzker said, “It’s extraordinary to stay out of prison.”

POLITICO ILLINOIS
— DuPage County Sheriff James Mendrick, who oversees the suburban areas where the Texans have been holing up, said he’s fielded calls nonstop from the public wanting to know why he hasn’t arrested the Texas visitors. “I tell them it’s because this is a civil case. They aren’t criminals,” Mendrick, a Republican running for governor of Illinois, told your Playbook host. “People hear the rhetoric and that’s when the calls come in.” We wonder if one of those calls came from the Illinois Freedom Caucus, which issued a statement Tuesday calling for Pritzker “to focus on Illinois instead of harboring Texas fugitives.” . . . With Richard Porter deciding not to run for U.S. Senate, watch for former GOP Chair Don Tracy to jump in. He’s also considered a run for governor. We’ll surely find out by next week when Republicans gather for the annual Republicans Day rally at the Fair on Aug. 14. Republican Ted Dabrowski continues to talk like a governor candidate.

I did yard work, delivered newspapers, washed dishes, cleaned golf shoes, chipped slag, pumped gasoline, delivered mail, worked on an automotive assembly line, sold tires, automotive services, and major appliances, pumped more gasoline, collected delinquent federal taxes, and audited federal agencies. My critics/opponent ever-increasingly make it clear that they would never have stooped to take the jobs that I took. I should write about my critics/opponents.

They had their operatives and their dupes a) end my membership on the Illinois Republican Party State Convention Platform and Resolutions Committee in 2024 and b) end my role as the Republican fundraiser for Wheaton Independence Day parades and fireworks in 2021. They have lots of religious, government, political, and/or financial clout in Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois. I should write about them.

My critics/opponents have always used that against me big time. They hint/imply/argue/shout that my dishwashing proves that I am an unmitigated loser and/or that I took a job that should have been given to Black women.
