BLOOMINGTON PANTAGRAPH
— COMMENT: I have been the GOPUSA Illinois Editor since 2000, that is, I have been a conservative Republican political reporter since 2000. I should write a book about my anti-conservative Republican critics/opponents who have done the most since 2000 to pander to Democrat political reporters in Illinois by ignoring, dismissing, discrediting, badmouthing, ostracizing, demonizing, denigrating, condemning, canceling, and destroying me and my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters. I would focus on the aforesaid who have lots of religious, government, political, and/or financial clout in Illinois, DuPage County, Milton Township, and/or Wheaton. I would focus on the aforesaid who have done the most to stop me from a) learning about their events, b) attending their events, c) seeing who attended their events, d) speaking with attendees at their events, and/or e) reporting on who attended their events. I would focus on those who have a) barred me from attending their events, b) harassed me at their events, c) threatened me at their events, and/or d) thrown me out of their events. I would focus on those who have barred me from attending their events by saying that the event is closed to the news media while at the same time saying that I am not a member of the news media and that I could attend if I gave them money. I would focus on those who cancel those like me a) who they cannot manipulate or dominate, b) who refuse to glorify and praise them, c) who refuse to pander to them, d) who refuse to serve as one of their operatives or dupes, e) who refuse to cover up their wrong doing, and/or f) who refuse to give them money. I would focus on those who blame me and my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters for their problems, for your problems, for my problems, and for everyone’s problems. I would focus on those who have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me.

LAKE MCHENRY SCANNER
— Oral arguments set for April for federal lawsuits against Illinois’ ‘assault weapons’ and magazine bans – Greg Bishop (COMMENT: Have you filed lawsuits? I have. I regret not having gotten restraining orders against the defendants and against their attorneys in those lawsuits. I should write a book about those lawsuits. I would focus on the defendants and their attorneys who have the most religious, government, political, and/or financial clout in Wheaton, in Milton Township, in DuPage County, and in Illinois and who continue to take the most/biggest adverse actions against me.)
https://www.lakemchenryscanner.com/2023/02/26/oral-arguments-set-for-april-for-federal-lawsuits-against-illinois-assault-weapons-and-magazine-bans/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: DeVore’s first case out of Effingham County secured a temporary restraining order for 866 plaintiffs. A state appellate court sided with the temporary restraining order on the grounds equal protection arguments have a likelihood of success. That ruling was followed by another temporary restraining order DeVore secured for 1,690 plaintiffs in White County and an additional batch of hundreds more plaintiffs in a second Effingham County case. Attorney Jerry Stocks for Caulkins, which secured a temporary restraining order out of Macon County, said he has a fundamental disagreement with DeVore’s approach.

TOWNHALL
— ‘Equity’ Is Not Equality – It’s Revenge – Will Alexander (COMMENT: Democrats, Libertarians, Greens, Independents, and RINOs ever-increasingly do everything that they can to make minorities, and everyone else, hate Republicans. I should write a book about the success that they have had in Illinois, in DuPage County, in Milton Township, and in Wheaton.)
https://townhall.com/columnists/willalexander/2023/02/27/equity-is-not-equality-its-revenge-n2619980
(FROM THE ARTICLE: There’s so little white racism today that Biden and his ilk are reduced to jerry-rigging tragic history to grossly distorted current events to create menacing white racist devils that do not exist: “white privilege,” “systemic racism,” and “white supremacy.” It’s so infuriating because “some people still want to do that” is a hideous lie that digs into long-healed racial wounds. A new generation of Americans is being drenched with this stuff, for no good reason, in the name of achieving racial “equity.” Biden just cemented the war against white racist ghosts in a sweeping new Executive Order on Further Advancing Racial Equity and Support for Underserved Communities Through the Federal Government. It even includes a clause that embeds diversity, equity and inclusion into “Government-Wide Processes” using artificial intelligence. Yet the fight for so-called racial equity has nothing to do with real justice. Stripped of distortions and theatrics, equity is fueled by the same primitive stuff that drives all blood feuds: tribalism, hatred, revenge, and violence. Wicked politicians use the sins of older generations to get and keep power while angry blacks, clinging to old hatreds, seethe for revenge. Biden’s new diktat, in effect, institutionalized a vendetta. But this is the strangest vendetta in history because it’s completely one-sided. Blacks who were never harmed by slavery take shots at a new generation of whites who had nothing to do with it. Worse, despite awful consequences, the government dares them to shoot back. “Be sitting ducks … or else.” And it’s happening years after we witnessed the ultimate symbol of racial reconciliation – the election of Barack Obama. Twice. That election would’ve been impossible without countless whites risking their lives and fortunes over two centuries to reconcile America to its “all men are created equal” ideal. In fact, today, some whites have bent so far backward that they agree that milk, math, meritocracy, and “master” bedrooms are rooted in racism; or that five black cops, beating a black man to death, in a majority black city, with a black police chief, is white supremacy, anti-black racism, and self-hatred. . .Just let go. It’s what the late Professor Walter Williams did, long before issuing his 2007 “Proclamation of Amnesty and Pardon Granted to All Persons of European Descent,” which also addressed the other villain of America’s race conundrum: white guilt. “I, Walter E. Williams,” it read, “do declare full and general amnesty and pardon to all persons of European ancestry, for both their own grievances, and those of their forebears, against my people. “Therefore, from this day forward, Americans of European ancestry can stand straight and proud knowing they are without guilt and thus obliged not to act like damn fools in their relationships with Americans of African ancestry.” When angry black liberals let go of past hatreds and guilt-stricken whites stop acting “like damn fools,” it will become crystal clear that all this equity stuff is a fake vendetta, instigated by slithery politicians and activists, against menacing white ghosts.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: The attendees included a number of prominent past supporters of Trump, our Alex Isenstadt reports this morning. Among those in the room: “Arizona Republican JIM LAMON, a solar energy executive and Trump donor who aggressively aligned himself with the former president during his unsuccessful 2022 Senate bid … [and] ROY BAILEY, a longtime Texas fundraiser who helped lead Trump’s campaign finance committee.” The retreat also drew several of DeSantis’ fellow governors, including Oklahoma’s KEVIN STITT, “who benefited from a Trump-hosted fundraiser during his reelection bid last year, and Tennessee Gov. BILL LEE, who was also backed by Trump in his 2022 reelection campaign.” Wisconsin Sen. RON JOHNSON was also on hand and participated in a panel discussion, though a spokesperson said he doesn’t intend to endorse in the primary. “Other attendees spotted in the crowd included Kentucky Rep. THOMAS MASSIE, Texas Rep. CHIP ROY, Utah Sen. MIKE LEE and 2022 Nevada Senate candidate ADAM LAXALT, a longtime DeSantis friend.” Lee was involved in Trump’s effort to overturn the election, according to the Jan. 6 committee report.)
