SPRINGFIELD STATE JOURNAL REGISTER
— Free college, universal preschool among the goals for Pritzker in his bid for second term – Dean Olsen
(DIERSEN: Republicans should blast Pritzker for promoting dependency on government, dependency on charity, LGBTQ, abortion, mass/illegal immigration, booze, gambling, pot, and other vices, abolition of the First and Second Amendments, patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination.)
https://www.sj-r.com/story/news/2021/07/21/gov-pritzker-cutting-corporate-welfare-help-expand-education/8048035002/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Illinois Republican Party Chairman Don Tracy said in a statement that Pritzker’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic has been a failure. “Gov. Pritzker failed our most vulnerable in their time of need,” said Tracy, a Springfield resident. “When our children missed an entire year of in-person education, Pritzker was silent while political teachers unions forced children to stay home even when the science and CDC said they should be back in school. “When thousands of Illinoisans were laid off from work, they went weeks without help from Pritzker’s incompetent state unemployment agency,” Tracy said. “And when our nation’s elderly heroes needed protection from the virus in our state facilities, the tragic mistakes of the Pritzker administration led to the death of 36 veterans at LaSalle Veterans Home.”)

EVANSTON PATCH
— ‘White Victimhood’: Teacher’s Critical Race Theory Suit Condemned. Dozens of demonstrators gathered Tuesday at James Park to denounce a lawsuit filed last month by District 65 drama teacher Stacy Deemar. – Jonah Meadows
(DIERSEN: In 1971, when I was 22 years old, Oldsmobile withdrew a job offer that I had accepted saying that Oldsmobile had just agreed to stop hiring Whites to settle an EEOC complaint. In 1997, when I was 49 years old, my Democrat GAO superiors forced me to take their early retirement “offer” so that they could give my job and my preferred corner office to my Black subordinate, which they did. My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have no problem with the aforesaid. According to them, I should the price of Affirmative Action, Diversity, and Inclusion big time, that is, pay reparations big time, because I am White, male, healthy, draft avoider, non-poor, Protestant, 100% German American, conservative, Republican, married since 1978, and my ancestors have been in America since 1844.)
