CENTER SQUARE ILLINOIS
— Illinois GOP aims to support entire ballot, stray from national party. DD: Political parties exist to help elect candidates who can and will defend and advance their platform. The Republican Party platform is conservative. I have always been a platform Republican. The more that Republican candidates do to defend and advance the Republican Party platform, the more that I do to help elect them. It would be great if Republican candidates in Illinois focused more on the benefits that following the Republican Party platform bring, including its personal responsibility, traditional marriage and family, right to life, immigration law enforcement, anti-vice, Second Amendment, and equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) planks. It would be great if Republican candidates focused more on the negatives that following the Democrat Party platform bring, including its dependency on government and charity, LGBTQ, abortion, mass/illegal immigration, gambling, pot, and other vices, diminishment of Second Amendment rights, and Affirmative Action and DEI, that is, race and gender based preference giving, patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, religious discrimination, and national origin discrimination planks. The Republican Party platform brings forth prosperity and safety. The Democrat Party platform brings forth poverty and crime. My following conservative principles enabled me to earn a job-related bachelor’s degree, three job-related master’s degrees, six job-related professional certifications, and a job-related professional license. Republican candidates should stress how their following conservative principles helped them succeed.

PJ MEDIA
— Every day the media is pushing the narrative that something else is now considered “white supremacy.” Individualism, meritocracy, punctuality, proper grammar, hard work, competition, standardized tests, the nuclear family, private property, scientific objectivity — even expecting people to speak proper English is considered “evidence” of white supremacy. And the list will keep growing. Now, the BBC recently published an absurd article claiming that the trend of leaving fingernails unpainted pushes “white supremacist standards of beauty.” Yes, you read that correctly. Women who skip the nail polish are now apparently upholding systemic racism.
