WBEZ
— COMMENT: Ever-increasingly, Democrats promote reparations, that is, ever-increasingly, Democrats promote hatred against Republicans. Ever-increasingly, Democrats hint/imply/argue/shout that it was slavery that brought all the income and all the net worth that Republicans have today. Ever-increasingly, Democrats hint/imply/argue/shout that the more of the following that you are, the more reparations that you should pay: law enforcement officer, Trump supporter, conservative, patriotic, Republican, American, White, male, older, heterosexual, married, non-poor, gun owner, Christian, Protestant, Italian American, German American, and/or if your ancestors have been in America for a long time.

EPOCH TIMES
— Dr. Jason Hill on Reparations, White Guilt, and the ‘Age of Post-Oppression’ – JAN JEKIELEK
(COMMENT: Democrats, Libertarians, Greens, Independents, and RINOs use Affirmative Action (AA), Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion to get rid of Republicans. AA, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion are Reparations. Who has paid, is paying, and will pay the price of AA, Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Reparations? I should write a book about those who have determined, are determining, and will determine who paid, is paying, and will pay the price of AA, Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Reparations. I would focus on a) leaders of the Illinois Republican Party, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, Milton Township Republican Organization, etc.; b) Republican leaders of Illinois, DuPage County, Milton Township, Wheaton, Wheaton Chamber of Commerce, Wheaton Park District, etc.; c) conservative leaders; d) religious leaders; and e) Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct, their political consultants, major donors, fundraisers, pollsters, campaign managers, campaign staff members, campaign volunteers, etc.)
https://www.theepochtimes.com/dr-jason-hill-on-reparations-white-guilt-and-the-age-of-post-oppression_4102379.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: “It befuddles me to see how someone who’s living in Appalachia in a trailer park, who has no access to water, health care, is a walking practitioner of racism, and that that person should, in some sense, participate in a reparations program for … an upper-class black person with five college degrees.”)

POLITICO
— FBI raid on Project Veritas founder’s home sparks questions about press freedom. The action against James O’Keefe has prompted concern about the Biden administration’s commitment to the First Amendment. – JOSH GERSTEIN
(COMMENT: I should write a book about those who hint/imply/argue/shout that I falsely claim to be a journalist. Better yet, I should sue them. I would focus on a) leaders of the Illinois Republican Party, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, Milton Township Republican Organization, etc.; b) Republican leaders of Illinois, DuPage County, Milton Township, Wheaton, Wheaton Chamber of Commerce, Wheaton Park District, etc.; c) conservative leaders; d) religious leaders; and e) Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct, their political consultants, major donors, fundraisers, pollsters, campaign managers, campaign staff members, campaign volunteers, etc.)
https://www.politico.com/news/2021/11/13/raid-veritas-okeefe-biden-press-521307
(FROM THE ARTICLE: At the center of the gathering legal storm is a pivotal question: Is O’Keefe a journalist in the eyes of the law? O’Keefe’s attorneys insist that despite his evident political bent and his unorthodox — sometimes deceptive — tactics, he qualifies as a journalist under a federal statute and Justice Department regulations aimed at sharply restricting the use of search warrants and similar steps against members of the media. Prosecutors insist they’ve complied with those requirements, but have thus far been cagey about whether or not they’re treating O’Keefe as a member of the press.)

THE HILL
— Can a new ‘anti-woke’ university make it financially? – RONALD L. TROWBRIDGE
(COMMENT: Of course, employers that are the following will not hire University of Austin graduates: anti-law enforcement, anti-Trump, anti-conservative, anti-patriotic, anti-Republican, anti-American, anti-White, anti-male, anti-older people, anti-heterosexual, anti-traditional marriage/family, anti-non-poor people, anti-gun owners, anti-Christian, anti-Protestant, anti-Italian American, anti-German American, and/or anti-those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time.)
https://thehill.com/opinion/education/581333-can-a-new-anti-woke-university-make-it-financially
(FROM THE ARTICLE: On Nov. 8 the University of Austin in Texas came into being. It will grant undergraduate and master’s degrees and plans to purchase property, classroom buildings, labs, dormitories and related facilities, as well as hire faculty and staff. The price tag will of course be staggering. The university says it “will not factor race, gender, or class into admissions decisions, standing firmly against that sort of discrimination.” It will be “fiercely independent — financially, intellectually, and politically.” In sum, it will be anti-woke, anti-cancel culture, and more significantly, pro-free speech — unlike virtually every other university and college in the country.)

— Cuba withdraws accreditation for five journalists from Spanish news agency EFE
(COMMENT: I should write a book about those who hint/imply/argue/shout that I falsely claim to be a journalist. Better yet, I should sue them. I would focus on a) leaders of the Illinois Republican Party, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, Milton Township Republican Organization, etc.; b) Republican leaders of Illinois, DuPage County, Milton Township, Wheaton, Wheaton Chamber of Commerce, Wheaton Park District, etc.; c) conservative leaders; d) religious leaders; and e) Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct, their political consultants, major donors, fundraisers, pollsters, campaign managers, campaign staff members, campaign volunteers, etc.)

ASSOCIATED PRESS
— Gerrymandering surges as states redraw maps for House seats – DAVID A. LIEB and NICHOLAS RICCARDI
(COMMENT: I should write a book about the Democrat plants and the RINOs who gerrymandered my DuPage County Milton Township Precinct 9 in Wheaton in 2015. To get rid of me, they drew me into the same precinct with Jeanne Ives. I lost about 250 voters west of the Illinois Prairie Path or about half of my about 500 voters that I had since 1999 and gained about 250 voters east of Warrenville Road. Fewer of the voters I gained were Republican than those who I lost.)
