Ever-increasingly, the conservative-hating mainstream media spins news to promote hatred of conservatives. Ever-increasingly, the Trump/Republican/conservative-hating mainstream media publishes only what it can spin to promote hatred of Trump/Republican/conservatives.)

They blame me and my GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails for their problems, for your problems, for my problems, and for everyone’s problems. I would focus on those Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct since 2000 a) who lost elections and b) who won elections, but by smaller margins than they expected. I would focus on those who blame me for the problems that the following have had, are having, and will have: Milton Township Republican Organization, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, Illinois Republican Party, TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois, Wheaton Chamber of Commerce, Illinois Center Right Coalition, and American Association of Political Consultants Midwest Chapter. I would focus on those who I have sued.)

POLITICO ILLINOIS
— DIERSEN HEADLINE: What are the Republican candidates on the November 3, 2020 ballot in your precinct doing to fundraise?
https://www.politico.com/newsletters/illinois-playbook/2020/07/28/whos-on-the-program-pandemic-fundraising-lightfoot-dismisses-rumor-489905
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Corinne Pierog, a Democratic candidate for Kane County Board chair, may take the cake for creative fundraising. She’s holding a Zoom dance lesson and party with special guests Congressman Bill Foster and state Rep. Karina Villa. Will Foster dance? It might be worth paying just to see. Pierog also held a drive-through fundraiser at a pizza restaurant — contributors got a slice when they dropped off their donations. Everyone’s learning to adapt while campaigning and fundraising amid a pandemic. We’re hearing about socially distant breakfasts, rooftop viewing of the Cubs and lots of socially distant golf. Paul Stoddard, a Democrat running for state rep in the 70th District, held a live gathering at the Campton Forest Preserve, where he served ice cream and encouraged social distancing. And Republican Rep. Andrew Chesney is planning a hog roast fundraiser Sept. 26. Still, concerns about coronavirus weigh heavy. Democratic Rep. Emanuel “Chris” Welch canceled a gathering at Pier 31 and held a Zoom instead. The worries about coronavirus were too great, he said during the event. Notables who zoomed in included Lt. Gov. Juliana Stratton, House Majority Leader Greg Harris, Senate Majority Leader Kimberly Lightford, Cook County Board President Toni Preckwinkle and Personal PAC CEO Terry Cosgrove. Republican Rep. Tony McCombie went ahead with her live event — a golf fundraiser. Being outdoors is safer than gathering inside, after all. But a few days after the July 18 outing, she got word that an attendee had tested positive for the coronavirus. She found herself making calls to inform all the donors who golfed. “We’ve been working hard to meet the new demands while being respectful of guidelines and people’s boundaries,” McCombie told Playbook of campaigning during a pandemic. To attendees of live events, her message is simple: “If you’re sick, please stay home and contact a medical professional.”)
