— Liberal hypocrisy about sanctuary cities – Star Parker (DIERSEN: If
Starbucks wanted to build a coffee shop in your precinct, how would the following
voters in your precinct react: those who are a) rich, b) middle class, c) poor,
d) Democrats, e) Libertarians, f) Greens, g) RINOs, and h) Republicans?) https://www.daily-journal.com/opinion/columnists/star-parker-liberal-hypocrisy-about-sanctuary-cities/article_8fe2e5bc-611c-11e9-9840-2f1c2da5a149.html (FROM THE ARTICLE: According
to a recent article in the Manhattan Institute’s City Journal, Seattle spends
more than $1 billion annually struggling with its homeless problem, “nearly
$100,000 for every homeless man, woman and child in King County.” Yet, the
article continues, “the crisis seems only to have deepened, with more
addiction, more crime and more tent encampments in residential neighborhoods.
By any measure, the city’s efforts are not working.” The author, Christopher
Rufo, a fellow at the Seattle-based Center for Wealth, Poverty & Morality
at the Discovery Institute, surveys what he calls the “ideological power
centers” driving the discussions in Seattle about how to deal with their
homeless. Not surprisingly, they are all on the left, and, of course, one
socialist city councilwoman explains it as “how deeply dysfunctional capitalism
is.” Seattle-based corporations, such as Amazon, Microsoft, Starbucks and
Boeing, in her analysis, “drive up housing prices and push the working class
toward poverty and despair — and, too often, onto the streets.” The irony of
this distorted analysis lies in tying it to the immigration crisis. Those
massing on our southern border, trying to gain entry to our country, are
pouring out from dysfunctional socialist Central American countries such as
Honduras, Guatemala and Nicaragua. Capitalism and economic freedom are the
answer, not the problem.)
HEARTLAND INSTITUTE
— CENSORED! HOW ONLINE MEDIA COMPANIES ARE SUPPRESSING FREE SPEECH – Media
Research Center https://www.heartland.org/publications-resources/publications/censored-how-online-media-companies-are-suppressing-free-speech (FROM THE ARTICLE: Top
tech firms like Google, YouTube and Twitter partner with leftist groups
attempting to censor conservatives. Like it or not, social media is the
communication form of the future — not just in the U.S., but worldwide. Just
Facebook and Twitter combined reach 1.8 billion people. More than two-thirds of
all Americans (68 percent) use Facebook. YouTube is pushing out TV as the most
popular place to watch video. Google is the No. 1 search engine in both the
U.S. and the world. War is being declared on the conservative movement in this
space and conservatives are losing — badly. If the right is silenced, billions
of people will be cut off from conservative ideas and conservative media. It’s
the new battleground of media bias. But it’s worse. That bias is not a war of
ideas. It’s a war against ideas. It’s a clear effort to censor the conservative
worldview from the public conversation. The Media Research Center has
undertaken an extensive study of the problem at major tech companies — Twitter,
Facebook, Google and YouTube — and the results are far more troubling than most
conservatives realize. Here are some of the key findings:)

all those who they have authority to fire who are White and/or male and b)

— In a challenge for Detroit, teens put off getting their licenses and buying

QUARTZ
— The new digital divide is between people who opt out of algorithms and
people who don’t – Anjana Susarla (DIERSEN: Your GOPUSA Illinois Editor is NOT
a Democrat or Democrat plant algorithm, Libertarian or Libertarian plant
algorithm, Green or Green plant algorithm, or RINO algorithm. Consequently,
GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails contain links to articles that promote the traditional
family, right to life, immigration, Second Amendment, illegal drugs, and equal
opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) planks in the Illinois
Republican Party platform and in the Republican Party platform. Democrats and
Democrat plants, Libertarians and Libertarian plants, Greens and Green plants,
and RINOs in Wheaton, in Glen Ellyn, in Milton Township, in DuPage County, and
in Illinois want to a) abolish the aforesaid planks and b) abolish me and my
GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails.) https://qz.com/1597901/how-people-feel-about-algorithms-has-become-the-new-digital-divide/ (FROM THE ARTICLE: Every
aspect of life can be guided by artificial intelligence algorithms—from
choosing what route to take for your morning commute, to deciding whom to take
on a date, to complex legal and judicial matters such as predictive policing.
Big tech companies like Google and Facebook use AI to obtain insights on their
gargantuan trove of detailed customer data. This allows them to monetize users’
collective preferences through practices such as micro-targeting, a strategy
used by advertisers to narrowly target specific sets of users. In parallel,
many people now trust platforms and algorithms more than their own governments
and civic society. An October 2018 study suggested that people demonstrate
“algorithm appreciation,” to the extent that they would rely on advice more
when they think it is from an algorithm than from a human. In the past,
technology experts have worried about a “digital divide” between those who
could access computers and the internet and those who could not. Households
with less access to digital technologies are at a disadvantage in their ability
to earn money and accumulate skills. But, as digital devices proliferate, the
divide is no longer just about access. How do people deal with information
overload and the plethora of algorithmic decisions that permeate every aspect
of their lives? The savvier users are navigating away from devices and becoming
aware of how algorithms affect their lives. Meanwhile, consumers who have less
information are relying even more on algorithms to guide their decisions.)

Casten, who campaigned on a “fix climate change” platform, just wishes it
wasn’t sucking the air out of all the other green legislation. “The Green New
Deal has made it very hard to advance a different idea about how to move
forward [on climate change] without being seen as antagonistic,” Casten said
during an interview with POLITICO. Casten has bills in various forms on issues
he cares about, and he’s been asked by other lawmakers to join on their
climate-focused bills, too. But they’re all effectively on hold, he says, while
Ocasio-Cortez’s plan gets the headlines. The Green New Deal calls for the
nation to reduce its fossil fuel use to zero within 10 years. Casten is back in
Illinois this week after his first three months in Congress. We met over coffee
at Starbucks in Carpentersville. Here are seven takeaways from the interview:
On what works/doesn’t work in AOC’s resolution: “I agree with the urgency of
it. That part is awesome. It’s just more idealistic than practical. To do
climate policy right, you have to understand how our current energy structure
works.” Casten points to questions about whether fertilizer can be made without
natural gas or if aviation fuels can replace existing high-energy, low-density
petroleum-based fuels. They’re both areas that are difficult to de-carbonize
based on current technologies. His Capitol Hill mentors: U.S. Rep. Bill Foster,
who serves Illinois’ 11th District. The two representatives share a passion for
science and business. Also New Hampshire Rep. Annie Kuster and Maryland Rep.
Jamie Raskin. “Every time I talk to [Raskin] I realize he’s super smart and I
leave thinking I’m super smart,” says Casten.)
DAILY SIGNAL
— The Natural Limits of Identity Politics – Victor Davis Hanson (DIERSEN:
Question: When will illegal immigration to America end? ANSWER: When Spanish is
America’s official language. When everyone in America speaks, reads, and writes
Spanish. When America looks like Mexico. When there are few, if any Whites left
in America. When Mexico and the other Spanish-speaking countries officially
declare victory over America.) https://www.dailysignal.com/2019/04/18/the-natural-limits-of-identity-politics/ (FROM THE ARTICLE:
Economist Herbert Stein’s old adage—“If something cannot go on forever, it will
stop”—still holds. Take illegal immigration. There are currently somewhere from
11 million to 15 million immigrants living in the United States without legal
authorization. Last month, nearly 100,000 people were apprehended or turned
away while trying to illegally cross the southern border. Some experts suggest
that at least that number made it across without arrest. At that rate, the
United States would be gaining a fairly large city of undocumented arrivals
each month. Most of the people who enter the United States illegally arrive
without fluency in English, a high school diploma, competitive job skills, or
money. The majority will require support subsidies, and collectively they will
require increased legal and law enforcement investments. At some point, American
social services will be so taxed that the system will be rendered
dysfunctional—as is already occurring in areas of the American Southwest. Or,
some regions of America will so resemble the countries illegal immigrants
abandoned that there will be little point in heading north. Either way, the
current border chaos will find its own self-correcting mechanisms, even if that
means there will be no border at all—or northern Mexico and the southern United
States will become indistinguishable. Currently, the national debt is $22
trillion and growing at a rate of nearly $1 trillion a year due to staggering
annual budget deficits. The George W. Bush and Barack Obama administrations
roughly doubled the debt they inherited, and the Donald Trump administration may
be on schedule to do the same. More importantly, the national debt is now over
100% of the gross domestic product. Presidents and Congress like to spend and
to spread money to voters. They fear politically suicidal recessions if they
cut back. But over the last 20 years, the government has mostly exhausted
traditional economic stimuli such as larger budget deficits, near-zero real
interest rates, and expansion of the money supply.)
