WTTW
— Return Most Federal Land to Native Americans – Nick Blumberg
(COMMENT: Soon, if not already, Democrats will demand that all White male Republicans disclose a) when their ancestors came to America, b) when they first acquired land, c) a description of that land, and d) how they acquired that land. My ancestors on my father’s side immigrated in 1844, worked in a brick factory in Chicago 1844-1854, and homesteaded a farm in southeast Crete Township in 1854. My ancestors on my mother’s side immigrated during the 1840s and 1850s, were sharecroppers on land in Grant Park along the Indiana border, and subsequently bought that land.)

WHEATON PATCH
— Christmas Parade
(COMMENT: In your municipality, in your township, in your county, in Illinois, and in America, how soon, if not already, will Democrats, Libertarians, Greens, Independents, and RINOs succeed in getting rid of Republicans once and for all? This year, they succeeded in stopping Republicans from helping sponsor Wheaton’s Independence Day parade and fireworks. Last year, they succeeded in getting downtown Wheaton businesses to promote LGBTQ BIG TIME, that is, they succeeded in telling religious people, conservatives, and Republicans to GO TO HELL.)

NATIONAL REVIEW
— With Gas Prices Soaring, Biden Searches for a Scapegoat – DANIEL TENREIRO
(COMMENT: I should write a book about scapegoaters.

I would focus on the aforesaid who have blamed me and blamed my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters the most for their problems, for your problems, for my problems, and for everyone’s problems. I would focus on the aforesaid who destroy those like me a) who they cannot manipulate or dominate, b) who refuse to glorify and praise them, c) who refuse to pander to them, d) who refuse to serve as one of their operatives or dupes, e) who refuse to cover up their wrongdoing, and/or f) who refuse to give them money. I would focus on those who stopped me this year from raising funds from DuPage Republicans so that DuPage Republicans could help sponsor Wheaton’s Independence Day parade and fireworks.)

EPOCH TIMES
— ‘Going Woke’ Trend’s Slippery Slope: Ontario Teachers’ Union Now Opting for Votes Based on Race – Michael Zwaagstra
(COMMENT: How soon, if not already, will the organizations that you are a member of and the governments that you are under officially give members of protected groups a heavier weighted vote?  Members of protected groups include those who are minority, female, younger, LGBTQ, veteran, disabled, moderate, liberal, Democrat, Libertarian, Green, Independent, RINO, non-married, non-rich, non-Christian, non-Protestant, non-Italian American, non-German American, those who are in America illegally, those whose ancestors have not been in America for a long time, criminals, boozers, gamblers, stoners, etc.)
https://www.theepochtimes.com/going-woke-trends-slippery-slope-ontario-teachers-union-now-opting-for-votes-based-on-race_4124062.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: As a case in point, District 20 of the Ontario Secondary School Teachers’ Federation (OSSTF) recently adopted a rule that gives more voting powers to non-white teachers than to white teachers. In a series of slides explaining the change to “weighted voting,” union leadership claimed that the votes of non-white teachers must equal at least 50 percent of the total votes cast. The slides give a hypothetical example where teachers are voting on whether or not to recognize Diwali as an official holiday. This hypothetical scenario posits 20 voters, 16 of whom are white and 4 are non-white. Under the weighted voting system, the votes of the 4 non-white teachers would receive equal value as those of the 16 white teachers. Thus, even if most white teachers vote against recognizing Diwali, the motion wouldn’t be defeated if most of the non-white teachers voted in favour. This voting scheme allegedly “allows for further conversation and growth together” for all the teachers. If this sounds absurd, that’s because it is. Assigning votes based on race is the antithesis of racial equality. Not only that, but it also forces teachers to identify themselves based on their race. Instead of having their opinions considered based on merit, everything is filtered through a racial lens.)

WASHINGTON POST
— Democrats’ disappointing performance in Virginia should be wake-up call for party, report says – Amy B Wang
(COMMENT: The more demographics that you share with Trump, the more that Democrats, Libertarians, Greens, Independents, and RINOs hint/imply/argue/shout that you are a White supremacist, Nazi, KKK member, hater, racist, sexist, bigot, oppressor, and even worse things who should be gotten rid of once and for all. How many demographics do you share with Trump? My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes stress that I am White, male, old (born in 1948), draft avoider, heterosexual, married, gun owner, Protestant, German American, non-poor, patriotic, conservative, Republican, my ancestors have been in America since 1844, etc.)

BROOKINGS
— When is a public policy racist? – William G. Gale and Fred Dews
(COMMENT: Ever-increasingly, under the Democrats and under the RINOs, public policy a) gives non-Whites preference over Whites, b) gives women preference over men, c) gives younger people preference over older people, d) gives LGBTQers preference over heterosexuals, e) gives Democrats, Libertarians, Greens, Independents, and RINOs preference over Republicans, f) gives liberals and moderates preference over conservatives, g) gives Trump-haters preference over those who do not hate Trump, h) gives anti-patriotic people preference over patriotic people, i) gives citizens of foreign countries preference over citizens of America, j) gives non-married people preference over married people, k) gives non-gun owners preference over gun owners, l) gives those who have less money than others preference over those who have more money than others, m) gives non-Christians preference over Christians, n) gives non-Protestants preference over Protestants, o) gives non-Italian Americans preference over Italian Americans, p) gives non-German Americans preference over German Americans, and/or q) gives those whose ancestors have not been in America for a long time preference over those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time.)

JD SUPRA
— The Critical Impact of Pretext in Employment Discrimination Cases
(COMMENT: I should write a book about pretext. Because it is illegal to discriminate because of race, color, gender, age, sexual orientation, religion, national origin, political affiliation if you are a government employee, etc., those who discriminate use pretexts. Most commonly, discriminators foist negative stereotypes of your demographics upon you. If you are White, they hint/imply/argue/shout that you discriminate against non-Whites and you are a White supremacist, Nazi, KKK member, racist, etc. If you are male, they hint/imply/argue/shout that you discriminate against women and you are a sexist. If you are older, they hint/imply/argue/shout that you discriminate against younger people. If you are heterosexual, they hint/imply/argue/shout that you discriminate against LGBTQers and you are a bigot. If you are Protestant, they hint/imply/argue/shout that you discriminate against non-Protestants. If you are German American, they hint/imply/argue/shout that you discriminate against non-German Americans. If you are Republican, they hint/imply/argue/shout that you discriminate against non-Republicans. I would focus on pretexural discriminators who have lots of religious, government, political, and/or financial clout in Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois. According to Pluralism ( https://pluralism.org/stereotypes-and-prejudice ), Protestants are anti-Catholic and anti-Semite. According to Wikipedia ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stereotypes_of_Germans ), negative German stereotypes include being Nazis and not having a sense of humor. According to Babbel ( https://www.babbel.com/en/magazine/false-german-stereotypes ), negative German stereotypes include being unfriendly and loving cars.)
