(FROM THE ALERT: The City of Wheaton and the Wheaton Police Department are aware of a group of people planning to assemble in the area of Memorial Park around 1 p.m. today, Wednesday, June 3.

The Wheaton Police have been in contact with the event’s organizers, and officers will be present for everyone’s safety. We expect this will be a peaceful gathering and we respect the right of people to assemble peacefully, but we remind attendees that violent, criminal acts will not be tolerated. The Wheaton Police Department and City of Wheaton will continue to keep the community up-to-date. To receive updates, follow the City of Wheaton on Facebook and Twitter (@CityOfWheaton), or sign up to receive email updates ( www.wheaton.il.us/emailupdates ).)

TOWNHALL
— Trump Campaign Buries Biden on Race By Pointing to His Record – Katie Pavlich (DIERSEN: I should write a book a) about anti-religious, anti-conservative, and/or anti-Republican activists, candidates, elected officials, party leaders, major donors, political consultants, campaign managers, etc. in Illinois who falsely claim to be religious, conservative, and/or Republican and b) the many anti-religious, anti-conservative, and/or anti-Republican actions that they have taken. Most commonly, they promote dependency on government, dependency on charity, LGBTQ activity, abortion, mass/illegal immigration, booze, gambling, pot, and other vices, abolition of the First and Second Amendments, patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation for opposing the aforesaid. I would focus on those in Wheaton’s West District, Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois who have most strongly painted themselves as being anti-Diersen. I would focus on those who paint themselves as being anti-Trump, anti-Protestant, anti-conservative, anti-patriotic, anti-Republican, anti-American, anti-White, anti-male, anti-older people, anti-rich people, anti-gun owners, anti-German Americans, anti-draft avoiders, and/or anti-those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time. I would expose their operatives and I would expose their dupes.)
