https://chicago.suntimes.com/politics/2019/7/18/20699794/republican-jeanne-ives-jumps-in-congress-race-democratic-rep-casten-seat-illinois
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The
match-up will be the biggest GOP primary for Congress in Illinois. With no
fanfare, Ives filed a Statement of Candidacy with the Federal Election
Commission on Thursday. . .In a big of a pre-emptive strike against Ives,
Sanguinetti released on Monday the names of 40 Republicans who back her,
including Rep. Adam Kinzinger, R-Ill.; former Sen. Mark Kirk, R-Ill.; former
Rep. Judy Biggert, R-Ill., former Lt. Gov. Corinne Wood; DuPage County Board
Chair Dan Cronin and a group of GOP township committeemen — all influential in
a Republican primary. As of June 30, Casten has $899,888 cash-on-hand. Sanguinetti,
who jumped in the race in April, has $69,890 cash-on-hand. Rauner donated
$2,800 as did his wife, Diana, who gave $2,800. Sanguinetti also loaned her
campaign $5,000.)

https://capitolfax.com/2019/07/18/reefer-madness-is-alive-and-well/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: In
the early 1900s an influx of Mexican immigrants came to the US fleeing
political unrest in their home country. With them, they brought the practice of
smoking cannabis recreationally. And it took off. The Spanish word for the
plant started to be used more often too. Marijuana. Or as it was spelled at
that time, marihuana, with an “H. This is when the more sensational headlines
about the drug began to appear. In 1936, a propaganda film called Reefer
Madness was released. In the movie, teenagers smoke weed for the first time and
this leads to a series of horrific events involving hallucination, attempted
rape, and murder. Much of the media portrayed it as a gateway drug. […] Harry
Anslinger took the scientifically unsupported idea of marijuana as a
violence-inducing drug, connected it to black and Hispanic people, and created
a perfect package of terror to sell to the American media and public. By
emphasizing the Spanish word marihuana instead of cannabis, he created a strong
association between the drug and the newly arrived Mexican immigrants who
helped popularize it in the States. He also created a narrative around the idea
that cannabis made black people forget their place in society. He pushed the
idea that jazz was evil music created by people under the influence of
marijuana. […] In the first full year after the Marihuana Tax Act was passed,
black people were about three times more likely to be arrested for violating
narcotic drug laws than whites. And Mexicans were nearly nine times more likely
to be arrested for the same charge.)

— Stop Chanting ‘Send Her Back.’ Citizenship Isn’t Conditional. – JIM GERAGHTY
(DIERSEN: According to David Ware (https://www.david-ware.com/blog/2018/01/when-can-the-government-revoke-your-naturalized-citizenship.shtml),
naturalized citizenship can be revoked if “within 5 years of
naturalization, the U.S. government proved you joined a subversive group. Such
groups include Al Qaeda and the Nazi Party, for example” and “within
10 years of naturalization, you refused to testify before a U.S. congressional
committee investigating your involvement in an allegedly subversive act.
Subversive acts include trying to harm U.S. officials or overthrow the
government.” and “you lied or concealed relevant facts in order to
obtain U.S. citizenship, your citizenship could be revoked. This is called
illegally procuring citizenship.”)
