— Chicago starts to see immigrant tide from Mexico. Agencies say local arrivals are running at the highest level in years. – GREG HINZ (DIERSEN: Democrats illegally encourage illegal immigration. To vote for Democrats is to illegally encourage illegal immigration. Those who illegally encourage illegal immigration should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.)
https://www.chicagobusiness.com/greg-hinz-politics/chicago-starts-see-immigrant-tide-mexico
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Agencies here that serve refugees and other immigrants seeking asylum say their caseload has soared in recent weeks and now is at the highest level it’s hit for several years. For instance, Heartland Human Care Services reports that as of this morning it was housing 240 children who crossed the border unaccompanied by adults. On Dec. 3 it housed none. “I have no doubt we’re going to hit capacity” of the 359 beds Chicago-based Heartland operates under a contract with the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services, said Executive Director David Sinski. “You’ve read about what’s happening. I’m sure they’re going to keep coming.” At this point, the wave appears likely to at least match surges in 2018 and 2014, Sinski says. Though the kids are young, “almost all” are teenagers from the Golden Triangle area of Central America, he says. “They’re seeking safety. They’re escaping violence that is unimaginable.” The young refugees are usually flown to Chicago by the federal government and temporarily housed here by Heartland before being given permanent homes. Another group that deals with family units, the Interfaith Committee for Detained Immigrants, says it now is meeting 30 to 50 people a week who show up on Greyhound buses straight from the border. The group expects the number to keep growing even though it’s at the highest level its seen in years. Colin McCormick, the agency’s program director for refugee assistance, says the surge began in late February as the Biden administration eased some rules and “gets a little bigger” every week. Many are stuck on Greyhound buses for at least two days before they arrive in Chicago, where they may have even longer journeys ahead, depending on their final destination.” As is the case with Heartland, “the vast bulk” of the arrivals are from Central America. But a few are from other countries, such as Haiti, entering the U.S. via Mexico. Though it may be controversial with some U.S. natives, to the immigrants, trying to enter here “is not a choice,” McCormick asserts. “They’re doing what they need to stay alive.” Most of those arriving here end up not staying in Chicago. Heartland says its clients, who are placed with sponsors, usually family members vetted by the agency, end up on the East and West coasts, not Chicago. All are tested for COVID when they arrive here, with some also tested on the border. Catholic Charities also runs a similar program for unaccompanied youngsters, with some finding their way here on their own or via other agencies. Metropolitan Chicago has a large Mexican-American population, with growing numbers of people from Guatemala, Honduras and other Central American countries. To some degree the influx is seasonal, tailing off in the cold winter months before building again when it’s warm. If that’s the case this year, the tide may have a ways to run before it peaks.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Thomas took the opportunity to pen a 12-page concurring opinion laying out why the government should begin treating social media companies differently, regulating them as utilities—like say, a telephone provider—and stopping them from taking down content. “If the analogy between common carriers and digital platforms is correct, then an answer may arise for dissatisfied platform users who would appreciate not being blocked: laws that restrict the platform’s right to exclude,” Thomas concluded.)

FED SMITH
— Soaring Stock Market Means More TSP Millionaires. The rising stock market has rewarded TSP investors who have stayed invested for the long term. – Ian Smith (DIERSEN: The TSP was established in 1987. I contributed the maximum amount to the TSP until my Democrat GAO superiors succeeded in forcing me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years old. My Civil Service Retirement System pension is dramatically reduced because a) my Democrat GAO superiors forced me to retire in 1997 when I was 49 years old, always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes, did not promote me beyond GS-13, delayed my promotions to GS-11, GS-12, and GS-13, and forced me to take a $20,361 (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980. My Democrat IRS superiors did not promote me beyond GS-12. My Democrat Post Office forced me resign in 1969.)
https://www.fedsmith.com/2021/04/01/soaring-stock-market-means-more-tsp-millionaires/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: As the stock market continues to climb to new record levels, it is helping federal employees with their retirement savings as well. The number of federal employee millionaires investing in the Thrift Savings Plan has hit a new high. According to the latest data from the TSP, as of the end of the first quarter 2021, there are now 84,808 TSP investors with a balance of $1 million or more. The highest account balance is now pushing $10 million; the lucky current or former federal employee with this designation has a total TSP account balance of $9,318,238. The number of millionaires in the TSP has increased 12.4% since the end of 2020.)

https://southfloridareporter.com/stress-may-have-some-important-cognitive-benefits-new-study-suggests/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Research shows that when stress becomes long-term, it can negatively affect every system in the body. Over time, chronic stress can become debilitating. It can also increase the risk of serious health complications, such as obesity, depression, and heart disease. Many symptoms of stress are easy to ignore or mistake for symptoms of other common conditions. The symptoms of chronic stress include: headaches, digestive problems, skin problems, pain, lack of energy, focus, and interest in previously enjoyed activities, being irritable, easy to anger, and forgetful, eating too much or too little, misuse of alcohol or drugs, feeling overwhelmed, anxious, fearful, or out of control, feeling depressed, insomnia, heart palpitations)

— Affordable Housing Should Be a Priority – Jamelle Bouie (DIERSEN: Where did your down payment come from? I bought a new town home in University Park September 1972 when I was 24 years old. The down payment came from what I had earned a) working for the Firestone Store in Chicago Heights full-time August 1970-March 1971 and part-time since March 1971 and b) working for IRS in Chicago and then in Harvey since June 1971. That money also enabled me to buy a new 1972 Corvette in October 1971 and to pay tuition and books for graduate business courses at Loyola starting in January 1972. I had graduated debt-free from NIU August 1970 owning a 1969 Dodge Charger SE. The money for tuition, books, and room and board came from what I earned delivering mail for the Park Forest Post Office November 1966-September 1969. I bought a studio condo in downtown Chicago in 1974 and a one bedroom condo in downtown Chicago in 1976. The down payments came from what I earned working for IRS. My wife and I bought a home in Wheaton in 1978. The down payment came from what she had earned working for the FBI and U.S. League of Savings Institutions (League). We had a new home built in Wheaton in 1984. The down payment came from the equity that we had in our home and from what I earned working for GAO and from what my wife earned working for the League.)

— Vaccine passports are latest flash point in COVID politics – MARK SCOLFORO (DIERSEN: Of course, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes want vaccine passports to be required so that they can use that requirement to more rapidly and more viciously destroy those who are not vaccinated.)
https://apnews.com/article/travel-new-york-data-privacy-immunizations-coronavirus-pandemic-f1c7623849d5458bcda3aed67f4c3d90
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The argument over whether passports are a sensible response to the pandemic or governmental overreach echoes the bitter disputes over the past year about masks, shutdown orders and even the vaccines themselves. . .But lawmakers around the country are already taking a stand against the idea. GOP senators in Pennsylvania are drawing up legislation that would prohibit vaccine passports, also known as health certificates or travel passes, from being used to bar people from routine activities. “We have constitutional rights and health privacy laws for a reason,” said Pennsylvania House Majority Leader Kerry Benninghoff, a Republican. “They should not cease to exist in a time of crisis. These passports may start with COVID-19, but where will they end?” Benninghoff said this week his concern was “using taxpayer money to generate a system that will now be, possibly, in the hands of mega-tech organizations who’ve already had problems with getting hacked and security issues.”)

The contributions were sent in an effort to help the House majority stay ahead of a tough upcoming election cycle without contributing directly to the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee — which AOC has been publicly against. She created a political action committee (PAC) to raise money for progressive primary candidates herself after she criticized DCCC policies.)

https://www.reviewjournal.com/opinion/opinion-columns/victor-davis-hanson/victor-davis-hanson-the-10-radical-new-rules-that-are-changing-america-2321809/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: 1) Money is a construct. It can be created from thin air. Annual deficits and aggregate national debt no longer matter much. . .2) Laws are not necessarily binding anymore. Joe Biden took an oath to “take care that the laws be faithfully executed.”. . .3) Racialism is now acceptable. We are defined first by our ethnicity or religion, and only secondarily — if at all — by an American commonality. . .4) The immigrant is mostly preferable to the citizen. . .5) Most Americans should be treated as we would treat little children. . .6) Hypocrisy is passe. Virtue-signaling is alive. . .7) Ignoring or perpetuating homelessness is preferable to ending it. . .8) McCarthyism is good. Destroying lives and careers for incorrect thoughts saves more lives and careers. Cancel culture and the Twitter Reign of Terror provide needed deterrence. . .9) Ignorance is preferable to knowledge. . .10) Wokeness is the new religion, growing faster and larger than Christianity. Its priesthood outnumbers the clergy and exercises far more power. Silicon Valley is the new Vatican, and Amazon, Apple, Facebook, Google and Twitter are the new gospels.)

WASHINGTON POST
— Inside a stealth ‘persuasion machine’ promising Republican victories in 2022 – Isaac Stanley-Becker
https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/republicans-midterms-digital-influence/2021/04/03/391103a8-8c0e-11eb-a730-1b4ed9656258_story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The American Culture Project is set up as a social welfare organization exempt from disclosing its donors or paying federal income taxes but, in exchange, barred from making politics its primary focus. The project is led by an Illinois-based conservative activist, John Tillman, who also oversees a libertarian think tank and a news foundation that recently received grant money to highlight opposition to public health restrictions. Tillman, who declined to be interviewed for this story, wrote in an email that the American Culture Project’s objectives are “issue education and advocacy (not electioneering).” “We focus on reaching millions of Americans who can no longer rely on traditional media to become fully informed on a diversity of views on the issues of the day,” he wrote. “By reaching millions of Americans with a broader, more wide ranging set of issues and ideas, we think that voters will make decisions that will elect people, whether Democrat or Republican, that believe in America’s founding principles, and particularly the Bill of Rights.” While data collection and digital ad targeting have become commonplace in political campaigns, what’s unusual about the American Culture Project, experts said, is how it presents its aims as news dissemination and community building. It touts transparency and civic engagement using an online network whose donors remain private — part of a bid to shape public opinion as local news outlets crater and social networks replace traditional forums for political deliberation. The arrangement “puts the lie to the public presentation of these nonprofits as public welfare organizations that might happen to do a little politics,” said Noah Bookbinder, president of the watchdog group Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington. “It shows the system is being abused in ways we knew were happening but you usually don’t see quite so blatantly.”)

— JULY 16, 2020 FLASHBACK: Are you willing to pay for news? The future of journalism may depend on it – JENNIFER HOEWE and BRETT SHERRICK
https://fortune.com/2020/07/16/american-journalism-crisis-save-news-media/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The following strategies should help news consumers make these decisions: Think about where you get your news. Are you selecting information just because it agrees with you? Don’t do that. Pick news sources that do more than simply cater to a partisan audience. Make sure you’re differentiating between news and commentary. Good news organizations should clearly demarcate what is news and what is opinion content. Check the news organizations’ use of sources. Are the sources they use in their news stories credible and considered experts in their field? Keep in mind: Experts are often people other than politicians. Look for journalistic standards. A good news organization should have a code of ethics or clear reporting guidelines posted on its website. If you spot a piece of information on social media or a news aggregator, first make sure the information originated with a legitimate news organization (using the other steps listed here). Then visit the site of the news organization that created the original content to ensure it will earn ad revenue for that content. Read full articles, not just headlines (or Facebook posts or tweets). In-depth reporting provides more context, which is part of why it’s worth paying for.)

THE DRIVE
— Everyone who’s window-shopped car auction sites has seen their share of classics with glistening paints and low miles, but no apparent reason for having been treated like unicorns. Take as an example the 1972 Chevrolet Corvette C3 on Bring A Trailer right now—it’s nothing all that special as Corvettes go, but it was preserved like a C2 L88, covering just 3,286 miles in 45 years. Who does this, and why? Who makes what many would consider a landmark car purchase only to drive it fewer miles each year than they walk on their two feet? – JAMES GILBOY (DIERSEN: I took delivery of my 1972 Corvette on October 14, 1971; it has 5,143 miles on it today.)

— Are Classic Chevrolet Corvettes Prices Already Past Their Peak? The Answer Is Complicated. Rather than break a Corvette auction record at Mecum in March, a rare C2 L88 fizzled. Has Boomer nostalgia reached its limit? – JAMES GILBOY
https://www.thedrive.com/news/39924/are-classic-chevrolet-corvettes-prices-already-past-their-peak-the-answer-is-complicated
(FROM THE ARTICLE: So, are we past peak C2? If you define that as the maximum of what one can be worth, then the answer would appear to be probably. The generation for whom the C2 is probably most evocative, Baby Boomers, are slowly getting too old to drive these symbols of their childhood. But while they account for the biggest percentage of C2 owners insured by Hagerty, at 40 percent, they are actually outnumbered by Gen X and Millennial policy-holders, who own 48 percent of the C2s Hagerty insures. Not all of midcentury America’s icons have stood the test of time, but as demonstrated by younger generations taking up the C2 ownership mantle (and at slowly increasing cost), this Corvette has.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: The bill would require social media companies to submit a content moderation report to the state’s attorney general every six months. The report would include information on how social media platforms deal with “[h]ate speech or racism” and “[e]xtremism or radicalization, including, but not limited to, threats of violence against government entities.” These reports would also include information on how platforms handle “[d]isinformation or misinformation,” popular terms now with the left and the media to silence opposition. The bill defined “[d]isinformation or misinformation” as “false or misleading information regarding medicine or vaccinations, false or misleading information regarding elections, and conspiracy theories.”)

https://www.deseret.com/opinion/2021/3/27/22346783/republican-challengers-lining-up-to-oppose-utah-sen-mike-lee
(FROM THE ARTICLE: As before, some Republicans are troubled with Lee’s style and rhetoric. But claims that Lee is too conservative or over strident will not resonate with the GOP faithful. His efforts and speeches pushing back against a Democrat controlled federal government will be embraced. . .And Lee is likely saying, “Come on in. The more the merrier.” A large field of moderate candidates will split the centrist vote in a multi-candidate primary and allow Lee to waltz to victory with his strong conservative base. . .If the Biden administration continues its leftward lurch and pushes bigger government, more regulation and higher taxes, Utah voters may want to send a conservative to go to battle in Washington, not someone who wants to get along with everyone.)

CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— GOP Rep. Adam Kinzinger is at war with Trumpism, but GOP ‘tribes’ are heavily against him – ERIC ZORN (DIERSEN: Political parties exist to help elect candidates who can and will defend and advance their platform. I am a member of the Republican Party’s platform tribe.)
https://www.chicagotribune.com/columns/eric-zorn/ct-column-kinzinger-trump-republican-tribes-poll-fabrizio-zorn-20210402-ttjzojzj3rgivi7rxxc4upf4em-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The bad news for Kinzinger is that a recent national survey of more than 1,200 Republican voters found that only 15% fall into the “Never Trump” category. The survey, conducted by Fabrizio, Lee and Associates, a Republican polling firm, and released in March, sorted the GOP into five “tribes,” four of which are populated by Trump fans. The “Diehard Trumpers” tribe makes up 27% of the party, the survey found. Members of this group said they “believe Trump should still lead the party,” will definitely support him if he runs for president in 2024 and consider themselves more Trump supporters than Republicans. The “Infowars GOP” tribe — the crackpot caucus — makes up 10% of the party and its members believe “several conspiracy theories pushed by QAnon” as part of their near unanimous support of Trump. The “Trump Boosters” tribe makes up 28% of the party, according to the poll findings. These Republicans give the ex-president “very strong job approval ratings” and show a preference for Trump in a theoretical primary ballot. The “Post-Trump GOP” tribe, 20% of the party, has a “strong, positive opinion” of Trump, but members say they think it’s time for him to step back. Yet only 5% of that tribe expressed support for the theoretical 2024 candidacy of Utah Sen. Mitt Romney, the most Kinzingeresque of the potential Republican presidential hopefuls. Overall, 88% of respondents had a favorable opinion of Trump’s presidency and 57% said they’d definitely vote for him if he runs again. And while, yes, Anthony Fabrizio worked as a pollster for Trump in 2016 and 2020, FiveThirtyEight’s pollster rating gives his firm decent marks and says its results skew slightly Democratic. Further, the overall image emerging from the Fabrizio Lee poll of the GOP as a party in cultish thrall to Trump is born out by news story after news story of moderate Republican officeholders under threat or heading for the exits. Kinzinger hasn’t announced his political plans yet and did not return my request for comment. But if he runs for reelection in 2022 the “fight and battle” he envisions looks to be far tougher than just “difficult.”)

CONSERVATIVE HQ
— What’s Jesus coming back for? – George Rasley
https://www.conservativehq.org/post/what-s-jesus-coming-back-for
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Back in 2014, Phil Robertson, the patriarch of the Duck Dynasty clan and a committed Evangelical Christian preached an Easter sermon about sin at Whites Ferry Road Church in his hometown of West Monroe, LA. The substance of the sermon, based on a verse from Corinthians defining “sinners,” eventually got him pushed out of his TV show and generally deplatformed. “Neither the sexually immoral, nor the idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes, nor homosexual offenders, nor thieves, nor greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God,” preached Mr. Robertson. The New York Post reported that during the time Mr. Robertson was preaching the “Duck Dynasty” patriarch got tremendous rounds of applause and cheers. Does anyone reading this believe the cheers and applause were because the audience was free of sin, or that no one in attendance had checked any of the boxes on the list Paul gave us in his letter to the church at Corinth? If you do, we have a bridge in Brooklyn and a couple of New Age books to sell you, cheap.)

— Under federal scrutiny, Madigan, Solis collecting lucrative government pensions. The former speaker just got his first check amid an ongoing investigation. The ex-alderman has gotten nearly $170K since resigning. Pensions of other pols facing probes are uncertain. – Tim Novak (DIERSEN: I should write a book about those who demonize me, denigrate me, and condemn me the most because I have had since I was 49 years old in 1997 a) an inflation-adjusted Civil Service Retirement System pension (currently, $4,572/month $54,864/year) and b) a 72% health, dental, and vision insurance federal subsidy. I would focus on those who have demonstrated their unbridled hatred the most against federal employees and against federal retirees. In my defense, I worked for the federal government for almost 30 years – almost 18 for GAO, 9 for IRS, and 3 for the Post Office. In my defense, I earned a) a job-related bachelor’s degree when I was 21 in 1970 and job-related master’s degrees when I was 27, 31, and 48, b) job-related professional certifications when I was 30, 32, 41, 45, 47, and 48, and c) a job-related professional license when I was 32.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Madigan, 78, lost the speaker’s post in a vote in January of his Democratic colleagues in the House, then resigned from the House seat he held for 50 years and also stepped aside as chairman of the Illinois Democratic Party. He got his first pension check — for $7,093 — on March 24. Madigan’s annual pension is $85,117. It will increase 75% in July 2022, to $148,955. That huge increase is the result of two factors — an automatic 3% cost-of-living increase and 24 other increases of 3% each, one for each year he served once he reached his 55th birthday and 20 years of service. During his time as speaker, Madigan contributed $352,345 to the General Assembly Retirement Fund. He stands to recoup all of that in about three years.)

AMERICAN THINKER
— The Real Five Laws of American Politics – John Green
https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2021/03/the_real_five_laws_of_american_politics.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The American Political Science Association asserts that there are Five laws of politics. These are: Only a minority of citizens will ever vote, Incumbents always have an advantage, It’s rare for anyone to garner over 60% of the vote, Incumbents loose support during their term, and Parties tend to alternate in office. . .However, I believe you’ll find them much more predictive of American political behavior, and associated outcomes, than mere observations. Law 1 – Democrats accuse Republicans of doing that which they’ve already done. . .Law 2 – When it’s most critical, Republicans will never work as a team. . .Law 3 – Politicians assert that they are following the science, when their intent is to curtail personal freedoms. . .Law 4 – When the government offers to help, the best result is achieved by declining. . .Law 5 – When Politicians invest taxpayer money, the investors shouldn’t expect any return. . .To summarize: The next time a Democrat accuses a Republican of a scandal, start an investigation — of the Democrat. When Republicans say they’ll work together if we just give them a chance — start identifying primary challengers. Never give up God-given liberties in the name of science — which is never really settled. When the government says, “we’re here to help,” ask them to help by leaving. Finally, the next time a politician “invests” your money, recognize that it’s state-sponsored robbery — you’re not getting anything back.)

https://townhall.com/tipsheet/leahbarkoukis/2021/04/01/obama-the-oppressor-n2587252
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Progressive leftists across the country are demanding that schools named after people who don’t pass their purity tests get new monikers. But in Waukegan, Illinois, they’re having a difficult time finding a suitable alternative. Two committees comprised of students, staff, and those in the community were tasked with renaming the Thomas Jefferson Middle School and the Daniel Webster Middle School, the first because he was a slave owner and the latter because he supported slavery. During a school board meeting on Tuesday to discuss some of the finalists for the Thomas Jefferson Middle School, immigration activists expressed their disapproval over one of the finalists: former President Barack Obama. . .So now, despite being America’s first black president, Obama is considered an “oppressor,” not woke enough to have a school named after him.)

AMERICAN THINKER
— Breaking Down and Breaking Up? – J. Robert Smith
https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2021/04/breaking_down_and_breaking_up_.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Joe Biden woke up on third base and thinks he hit a triple. Someone has told the president that he was elected by the American people to fundamentally change our country. He thinks he has a mandate, and that all that stands between him and success is a few ornery Republicans in the Senate who refuse to get out of the way. Correction. Biden believes that the only thing standing between him and greatness are cranky senators who do not see the United States as systemically racist, who don’t believe in vastly expanding the welfare state, who think that individual creativity and achievement have built our great country and who are absolutely positive that Democrats are leading us down a very dangerous path.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Shawnee County District Attorney Mike Kagay reassured the public during his visit on KSNT News Wednesday morning that the DUI case against Kansas Senate Majority Leader Gene Suellentrop will be handled just like other violation. “Absolutely, I think that’s what we have to do,” Kagay said. ” And that should be the expectations of the community we serve. Kansas Senate Majority Leader Gene Suellentrop was pulled over by the Topeka Police Department and the Kansas Highway Patrol after driving the wrong way on a Topeka highway. Callers to 911 initially reported seeing a white SUV driving west in the eastbound lanes of I-470 starting near Wanamaker Road and minutes later on I-70 around 12:45 a.m. It was the Kansas Highway Patrol that identified the driver of the SUV as Republican Kansas Senate Majority Leader Gene Suellentrop.)

NEW YORK TIMES
— Biden’s Push for Electric Cars: $174 Billion, 10 Years and a Bit of Luck. The president is hoping to make electric vehicles more affordable to turn a niche product into one with mass appeal. – Niraj Chokshi
https://www.nytimes.com/2021/03/31/business/biden-electric-vehicles-infrastructure.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: President Biden is a muscle-car guy — one of his most prized possessions is a 1967 Corvette that he got from his father. But he’s trying to make this an electric vehicle world. The $2 trillion infrastructure plan that he unveiled on Wednesday is aimed at tackling climate change in part by spending up to $174 billion to encourage Americans to switch to cars and trucks that run on electricity, not gasoline or diesel. That is a large investment but it might not be enough to push most Americans toward E.V.s. Despite rapid growth in recent years, electric vehicles remain a niche product, making up just 2 percent of the new car market and 1 percent of all cars, sport-utility vehicles, vans and pickup trucks on the road. They have been slow to take off in large part because they can cost up to $10,000 more than similar conventional cars and trucks. Charging E.V.s is also more difficult and slower than simply refilling the tank at far more prevalent gas stations.)
