[Just The News] Evanston, Illinois on Monday approved a reparations program for black individuals, which marks the first government reparations program for black people in the U.S., according to The Washington Post.
"The Evanston City Council approved the first phase of reparations to acknowledge the harm caused by discriminatory housing policies, practices and inaction going back more than a century," the outlet reported. "The 8-to-1 vote will make $400,000 available in $25,000 homeownership and improvement grants, as well as in mortgage assistance for Black residents who can show they are direct descendants of individuals who lived in the city between 1919 and 1969.
"The housing money is part of a larger $10 million package approved for continued reparations initiatives, which will be funded by income from annual cannabis taxes over the next decade," the Post said.

"Illinois contributed 250,000 soldiers to the Union Army, ranking it fourth in terms of the total manpower in Federal military service. Illinois troops predominantly fought in the Western Theater, although a few regiments played important roles in the East, particularly in the Army of the Potomac. Several thousand Illinoisians were killed or died of their wounds during the war, and a number of national cemeteries were established in Illinois to bury their remains"

You have to actually prove that you didn't get a house or were unable to rent during a specific time frame. They know few will qualify so they'll get maximum virtue signaling for minimal payout.
What they don't get is that the folks that try and fail to get their reparations are gonna scream racism.
Rejoice, dear Reader. The Pentagon is developing additional plans to deal with wrongthink in the ranks, as reported here a few days ago.
[LEGALINSURRECTION] During his confirmation hearing, now-Pentagon chief Lloyd Austin vowed to purge "ideological enemies . . . within our own ranks." Wasting little time, he ordered a military-wide "stand down" to address extremism within our nation’s armed forces.
Reports are now surfacing that the Pentagon is distressed that their attempts to ferret out wrongthink under the guise of ’extremism’ have a hit a snag.
Apparently, some military members view the events at the Capitol on January 6th and the year-long BLM/antifa rioting, looting, vandalism, arson, and murder as equally problematic. This reportedly "worries" Pentagon officials.
In their article entitled, "Some U.S. troops view Capitol riots, racial protests equally, worrying Pentagon leaders, " the Daily Press reports:
During military training sessions to address extremism in the ranks, some service members have challenged why the Pentagon is not treating the violence during racial injustice protests last summer as equal to the deadly riot at the U.S. Capitol.
That the two events are viewed as equivalent by some troops has caught the Pentagon’s attention in its effort to educate service members that bully boy views and activity — on either side of the political spectrum — go against the oath they took when they joined the military, the top enlisted leader told news hounds on Thursday.
"This is coming from every echelon that we’re talking to," said Senior Enlisted Advisor to the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Ramón Colón-López. "Some people may think that, ’all right, so the events of 6 January happened. How come you’re not looking at the situation that was going on in Seattle prior to that?’"
Of course federal facilities, from ICE facilities to courthouses, were and continue to be targeted by BLM/antifa anarchists, but that’s different. They are protesting a righteous cause and thus not bully boy. Or something.
To address this serious problem of insufficient wokeness among military members, the Pentagon is reportedly considering setting up an anonymous means for military members to report on their peers’ wrongthink.
After the stand downs are completed there will be follow-up training and outreach. The Daily Press continues:
The Pentagon is also weighing whether any additional mechanisms are needed, such as ways for service members to confidentially report potential bully boy behavior within their units. Similar efforts for officially reporting sexual harassment have struggled over the years to gain the confidence of the troops, fearing retaliation, although after a concerted push by the Defense Department those reporting numbers have started to rise.

Next up: political commissars inserted into each brigade. Eventually, they will form a new Waffen Woken SS, with a separate chain of command and a clear focus on political purity and direct loyalty to the Uniparty and its leader.
The Woken SS will swear a separate oath to the USSA, and to the new intersectional identity (I2) creed represented by this new required pledge:
I pledge to advocate for and acknowledge all lived experiences and intersectional identities of every Sailor in the Navy. I pledge to engage in ongoing self-reflection, education and knowledge sharing to better myself and my communities. I pledge to be an example in establishing healthy, inclusive and team-oriented environments.

When the officer lays his head on the pillow after learning that day of his selection for full colonel, he turns to his slumbering wife and exclaims..."Ingrid, I could someday be a general."
Perhaps someone has spoken to Secretary Austin about possible future assignments.

How does the idea of an "intersection" (or that stupid made-up BS kloodge of "intersectionality") fit with the idea of not two or four but ONE direction along ONE vector?
How do you create an effective military unit -- one cohesive entity, aligned and striving in unison toward a goal -- that can stand up to enemies as determined and without illusions as the Chinese, Russians and Persians?
Are Biden's idiots actually trying to destroy our military?
Where is this madness coming from?
Has the PLA compromised Hunter and his dad?

Aren't they called Political Officers.
Only now they will be called Diversity and Inclusiveness Officers and their job will be to divide the group into categories based on race, preference, psuedo-gender, etc... And insure they the groups don't get along by telling some that they are being victimized by the others.
#14
Thats the most Orwellian thing about all this: the Inclusiveness officers seem to be hell-bent on inventing as many ways as they can to divide the troops.
Unit cohesion is going to hell in all this. I honestly can no longer recommend military service under the "leadership" of these little Eichmanns now in charge.
There should be only Duty, Honor, Country when it comes to leadership, and there should be only one objective: fielding the most combat-effective fighting force in the world. Anything less is national suicide.

When openly gay officers began to be open about their orientation bery quickly it became clear they were virtually immune to command influence by immediately claiming persecution for their sexual orientation by straight white men. Consequently over time they just flowed upward like sewage and the careerist impulses for midlevel field grade officers was be tolerant or you would be passed over and done. So, the rot has grow and now the top of the General Officer gene pool is deeply polluted. Fertile ground for what is now national suicide masquerading as woke. The Chines see this and will act on fhe advantage it gives them, perhaps in the South China Sea or even Taiwan.

Where once a proud house stood,

this, a testimony to a 'woke'
politicised leadership.
[BREITBART] Zarah Sultana, the leftist Labour party Member of Parliament for Coventry South, claimed that "racism is a feature of capitalism" on the United Nations ...a lucrative dumping ground for the relatives of dictators and party hacks... ’ so-called "Anti-Racism Day".
Sultana, an acolyte of former Labour leader and fervent socialist Jeremy Corbyn, wrote on social media late Saturday night that the only way to fight racism is through the adoption of "internationalist socialism".
The 27-year-old MP went on to share an article she penned in Tribune Magazine in January, in which she wrote: "Racism in society isn’t a glitch, it’s a feature. It’s functional to the key driver of our economic system: the accumulation of capital. This, rather than meeting human need, is fundamental to capitalism. And it is why racism is embedded in its social relations."
"This racism isn’t incidental. It’s central to capitalism — both its history and in the present day," she claimed.
"The wealth that enriched the British Empire and established it as a global superpower meant the murder, destruction, and brutalisation of people across the world. Millions died and civilisations were destroyed. The perpetrators of these crimes had to believe that what they were doing was justified," she suggested.
Sultana concluded by quoting directly from the author of the Communist Manifesto, Karl Marx, writing: "There is an old socialist slogan, ’workers of the world, unite!’ It’s not a relic from history, it’s an injunction for today. It calls us to an internationalist approach to socialism, one which can truly tackle racism at its core. It’s a vision worth fighting for."
How boringly reactionary they are, these old-fashioned Communists hearkening back to ideas nearly a century and a half old — ideas that were nonsensical even when freshly birthed.

People of color coming in every day, people of color refusing to leave. Something doesn't square with these claims.
[Right Scoop] A reporter in the White House press briefing asked Jen Psaki a few moments ago if Biden had to see a doctor after falling three times going up the stairs to Air Force One, and she completely dodged the question:
Psaki first said Biden was 100% fine after his fall, but then when asked if he had to see a doctor she replied like this:
Um...I’m not aware of that being required. There’s a doctor who travels with the president — any president of the United States — but I’m not aware of it needing actual, extensive medical attention.
Psaki is a bad liar. Nobody said anything about extensive medical attention. The reporter just asked if Biden saw a doctor after his three falls. She’s clearly being evasive to avoid telling the truth.
It should have been an easy answer, but Psaki just doesn’t want to admit it. After all, Biden is 78 years old and after a fall that looked that bad, he should have seen a doctor and you can bet he did.
The real story, though, is that the Biden campaign lied to the American public about his health all through the election in order to beat Trump. And now that he’s in the White House, his team is still lying about it.
[WashingtonExaminer] Senate Democrats say it may be difficult, if not impossible, to send a pair of House-passed amnesty bills to President Joe The Big Guy Biden ...46th president of the U.S. Joe's wife and daughter weren't killed by a drunk driver. He didn't graduate with three or even two degrees, wasn't in the top half of his law class, and his daddy didn't come home from a hard day's work in the mines and play football with the guys. The NAACP hasn't endorsed him every time he's run.... ’s desk as politicians restart a decadeslong debate over how to reform the nation’s immigration system.
House Democrats easily passed two measures on Thursday that would provide a pathway to citizenship for up to 4 million people now living here illegally.
Majority Leader the mealy-mouthed Steny StinkyHoyer ...Nancy San Fran Nan Pelosi's second banana, or plaintain, or mango, or whatever he is. Number Two, anyway... said Democrats plan to go even further in the coming months, with a broader amnesty bill proposed by Biden that would offer a means to obtain citizenship for all of the nation’s approximately 11 million illegal immigrants colonists.
While House Democrats Thursday celebrated passing two legalization measures for farmworkers and Dreamers and planned their next big immigration bill, their counterparts across the Capitol were skeptical they can strike the kind of bipartisan deal that would be needed to pass similar legislation in the Senate, where 60 votes are necessary to bring a bill to the floor for debate.
Senate Majority Whip Richard Durbin, an Illinois Democrat who leads the Judiciary Committee, plans to hold hearings soon on the House-passed measures, which would legalize so-called Dreamers who arrived illegally in the United States as children, as well as many of the nation’s migrant farms workers.
Durbin said he’s unsure if he can find bipartisan support to pass either of the two bills, never mind the much larger comprehensive package that would legalize 11 million people. Democrats control 50 votes and would need at least 10 GOP politicians to advance legislation due to the filibuster.
"I don't see a means of reaching it," Durbin told news hounds who asked about a comprehensive bill that would address all illegal immigrants colonists. "I want it. I think we're much more likely to deal with discrete elements."
The Senate last passed a comprehensive immigration bill in 2013, when the chamber was under Democratic control. But the bill died in the House.
Some politicians are now eyeing those 2013 bipartisan as a guide to crafting a new proposal that can earn 60 votes. But shifting views on immigration in both parties could make it difficult.
The 2013 measure included border security and immigration reform provisions the liberal factions in Congress may be unwilling to accept, while Republicans are in no mood to vote for an amnesty measure while the southern border is experiencing a massive surge in illegal immigration.
[NYPOST] Gov. Andrew Sonny Cuomo on Monday told news hounds how he basked in the sun over the weekend — while again hiding behind ongoing investigations to duck questions about the sexual harassment scandal that threatens to torch his political career.
During a brief afternoon conference call, the embattled three-term Democrat said he caught the rays while enjoying the start of spring, which officially began Saturday.
"All right, guys, thank you very much for taking the time and enjoy this beautiful weather — not as much as I did," Cuomo said as he wrapped up his remarks.
"I got a little overdone by the sun."

[FOXNEWS] Rep. Jeff Van Drew, R-N.J., said he is reviewing his legal options after his office revealed a threatening voicemail by Ocean City Sentinel guest columnist John McCall in the wake of his votes not to accept Arizona and Pennsylvania's Electoral College votes.
Van Drew said "I believe" he will press charges against McCall and said he would confer with his attorneys about a possible lawsuit.
The Republican told "Sunday Morning Futures" that even though the threat was shocking to him and his wife, he said it "doesn't worry me."
"I’m standing for America," Van Drew said. "I’m going to stand for what I believe and nobody’s going to make me afraid, nobody’s going to make me worry about it."
Van Drew's office alleged that in a recording, McCall threatened to "do everything in my power to ensure that you are deposed if not dead."
Ocean City Sentinel editor and publisher David Nahan released an apology in their March 17 edition. Addressing Van Drew, he said, "Because you felt threatened and felt your wife was threatened, I am sorry. There are no two ways about that. I blame that on my judgment."
Nahan described McCall as an unpaid "private citizen who wrote in letters to the editor and other opinions to the newspaper's commentary section."
"If he was a paid employee, he would have been fired for making the call," Nahan told Fox News on Sunday.
"He will not be allowed to submit anything else to the newspaper for publication and I have changed our policy on letters to the editor and guest opinions so nothing like that appears again," Nahan said, adding that he seeking to apologize to Van Drew directly.
Van Drew became the first Democrat in 10 years to join the Republican Party when he made the swap nearly a year ago.
The congressman said McCall also threatened to sexually harass his wife in a column.
"You can do anything that you want to me," he said. "You can say what you want, you can disagree with me, you can threaten my life but I will not tolerate that for my family, my wife, my children, my grandchildren. And that's where the line is drawn in the South Jersey sand."
"This cannot be the new norm for America, for America journalism," he said. "It is just intolerable."

Given all her up in arms comments about threats to House members?
Or it is only members of her political party she is worried about?

Them's fightin' words. Shall we say pistols at dawn?
I like that idea of a person being held immediately accountable for threats and their spoken words and all to often lies.
Imagine a situation where the threaten and/or slandered party could legally demand immediate satisfaction. An if the accuser refused or failed to Stand up for their words. Then the would be immediately brought into civil/criminal court and striped of clothing and whipped.
Taking a persons $$$ does little to teach them a lesson that they will forever remember. But a whip surely will leave a lasting impression.
[NYTIMES] President Joe The Big Guy Biden ...46th president of the U.S. Former Senator-for-Life from Delaware, an example of the kind of top-notch Washington intellect to be found in the World's Greatest Deliberative Body....
...... 46th president of the U.S. The very model of probity....... ’s economic advisers are preparing to recommend spending as much as $3 trillion on a sweeping set of efforts aimed at boosting the economy, reducing carbon emissions and narrowing economic inequality, beginning with a giant infrastructure plan that may be financed in part through tax increases on corporations and the rich.After months of internal debate, Mr. Biden’s advisers are expected to present a proposal to the president this week that recommends carving his economic agenda into separate legislative pieces, rather than trying to push a mammoth package through Congress, according to people familiar with the plans and documents obtained by The New York Times
...which still proudly displays Walter Duranty's Pulitzer prize... The total new spending in the plans would likely be $3 trillion, a person familiar with them said. That figure does not include the cost of extending new temporary tax cuts meant to fight poverty, which could reach hundreds of billions of dollars, according to estimates prepared by administration officials. Officials have not yet determined the exact breakdown in cost between the two packages.
Mr. Biden supports all of the individual spending and tax cut proposals under consideration, but it is unclear whether he will back splitting his agenda into pieces, or what legislative strategy he and Democratic leaders will pursue to maximize the chances of pushing the new programs through Congress given their narrow majorities in both chambers.
