POLITICO ILLINOIS
— Illinois GOP ignores call to censure Kinzinger – SHIA KAPOS
https://www.politico.com/newsletters/illinois-playbook/2022/07/26/illinois-gop-ignores-call-to-censure-kinzinger-00047875
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A group of Republican state legislators who support former President Donald Trump have called on the Illinois GOP to censure Congressman Adam Kinzinger for “incendiary language, wild exaggeration and personal opinions” during the House select committee’s hearings investigating the Jan. 6 Capitol attack. But GOP governor candidate Darren Bailey, who’s backed by Trump, and Illinois Republican Party President Don Tracy are ignoring the request, signaling a division within the party as the General Election approaches in November. Political pivot: Bailey and Tracy issued statements worded the same way that address party kumbaya, not Kinzinger. “The Illinois GOP is focused on uniting the party to defeat Gov. [JB] Pritzker in November and make Illinois a safe and affordable place for people to live. That’s what Republicans are rallying around. That is our priority.” The message being: Bailey and party leaders are working together after a bitter primary and in spite of their historically divergent political views within the Republican Party. Bailey’s far-right-leaning politics holds sway Downstate but not so much in Chicago. It’s counter to Bailey’s position last year when he urged the GOP to “condemn” Kinzinger’s “personal and political attack” on Trump. The Illinois Freedom Caucus didn’t talk to Bailey about its current stand. In an interview with Playbook, Downstate state Rep. Adam Niemerg called the Jan. 6 committee’s work “a sham process.” Niemerg said Kinzinger’s comments during last week’s prime-time Jan. 6 hearing prompted the request for censure. Kinzinger called Trump’s conduct “a supreme violation of his oath of office and a complete dereliction of his duty to our nation.” It wouldn’t be the first time Kinzinger was censured: The LaSalle County Republican Central Committee passed a resolution last year to censure the Illinois congressman after he voted to impeach Trump. And the Republican National Committee voted earlier this year to censure Kinzinger and Congresswoman Liz Cheney of Wyoming for “participating in a Democrat-led persecution of ordinary citizens.” It’s a message echoed by Niemerg, who says Kinzinger and Cheney are “never-Trumpers” who don’t count as Republicans. Without a “truly bipartisan” committee, the hearings aren’t “open and transparent.” Niemerg and the four other conservatives urging censure are also members of the unofficial “Eastern Bloc,” a group of far-right House Republicans that have bumped heads with the more mainstream GOP leaders. The group famously carried legislation calling for Chicago to be secede from the rest of the state. Bailey was a co-sponsor of the bill when he served in the House, but he’s since disavowed the idea. Bailey has also distanced himself from the “Eastern Bloc” since being elected a state senator and running for governor. And though he attended a kickoff event for the Illinois Freedom Caucus a few months ago, he’s not a member. That’s not to say he’s changing course. Bailey embraces his endorsement of Trump and is outspoken about supporting gun rights and opposing abortion. The Illinois Freedom Caucus consists of five conservative Republicans serving in the Illinois House, including state Rep. Chris Miller, a cattle farmer and grain operator who’s married to far-right Congresswoman Mary Miller. They attended a rally at the Capitol a day before the Jan. 6 attack. Other members include Brad Halbrook, Blaine Wilhour, and Dan Caulkins.)

CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— A group of downstate lawmakers (Dan Caulkins, Brad Halbrook, Chris Miller, Adam Niemerg, and Blaine Wilhour) aligned with Republican candidate for governor Darren Bailey on Monday asked the Illinois Republican Party to censure U.S. Rep. Adam Kinzinger for his actions on the select House committee investigating the role of Donald Trump, who backs Bailey, in the Jan. 6 insurrection. – Rick Pearson

They forced the GAO manager to retire in 1987 who had arranged for my transfer from IRS in 1980, had gotten me assigned to audits of IRS in 1986, and had promoted me in 1986. They gave me unfair job assignments, performance expectations, and performance appraisals. They did not promote me beyond GS-13. They always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes. They threw me off audits of IRS in early 1989 for the rest of my GAO career. They forced me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years old.)

I would focus on those in Wheaton, in Glen Ellyn, in Milton Township, in DuPage County, and in Illinois. I would focus on the pretexts that they use to promote disapproval of MSLs, if not hatred against MSLs.)

CATO
— Private Schools: Where Are We Now? – Colleen Hroncich and Solomon Chen
(COMMENT: I should write a book about those who have demonized, denigrated, and condemned my attending Trinity Lutheran Grade School in Crete 1953-1961 and Hope Lutheran Grade School in Park Forest 1961-1962 the most.)
https://www.cato.org/blog/private-schools-where-are-we-now
(FROM THE ARTICLE: An interesting relationship to note is the type of schools opening compared to those closing. Although most of the school closures are Catholic, a majority of the openings are not. Over half of the opening announcements were for independent, non‐​sectarian schools, followed by Protestant Christian and then Roman Catholic. The exact reason for this demographic shift is unclear; however, it could be a rise in non‐​religious affiliations or a higher demand for smaller, STEM‐​focused schools.)
