— DIERSEN HEADLINE: Democrats want to legalize pot in America, that is, Democrats want to destroy America. From what I see, the more that pot is available, the more that Democrats, Libertarians, Greens, Independents, and RINOs will use it, and especially those who have financial, health, and/or other problems and those who are anti-law enforcement, anti-Trump, anti-conservative, anti-patriotic, anti-Republican, anti-American, anti-White, anti-male, anti-older people, anti-heterosexual, anti-traditional marriage/family, anti-non-poor people, anti-gun owners, anti-Christian, anti-Protestant, anti-Italian American, anti-German American, and/or anti-those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time.

(FROM THE ARTICLE: With Breen now residing in the 42nd district, is he gearing up for another run for elective office?

SOUTHLAND JOURNAL
— Chicago lawsuit gains national attention, commentary in New Hampshire
https://thesouthlandjournal.com/chicago-lawsuit-gains-national-attention-commentary-in-new-hampshire/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A lawsuit filed in Illinois targeting critical race theory (CRT) teachings as discriminatory is fast drawing national attention. Evanston-Skokie District 65 drama teacher Stacy Deemar recently filed suit in federal court, charging the teachings are divisive and “perpetuate harmful racial stereotypes.” Deemar’s view seems to be one shared by others. “Not only does the suit, along with findings by the Department of Education, detail CRT’s usual litany of racially divisive indoctrination activities, but it also confirms that school officials use the ‘fighting racism’ excuse as cover for teaching that individualism and meritocracy are oppressive, that the ideal of ‘equality’ and even the nuclear family itself are both racist, and that true anti-racists will question the very foundations of the liberal order, including equality theory, legal reasoning, enlightenment rationalism, and principles of constitutional law,” the Auburn New Hampshire Free Speech Political Page posted on Facebook. Critics of the CRT system argue the problems don’t end there.)
