— Proposal could give Hispanic residents more representation on Kane County Board – James Fuller
(DIERSEN: This is racial gerrymandering.)
https://www.dailyherald.com/news/20210521/proposal-could-give-hispanic-residents-more-representation-on-kane-county-board
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The plan drew concern from Ron Ford, the only Black county resident on the current board. His current district is part of the eight new proposed ones. Consultants said they were unable to create a majority Black district in the county because the Black population is too small and spread out. “I know for a fact that’s not what the community’s going to want to hear,” Ford said. “There’s an African-American district that works as it is.”)

POLITICO ILLINOIS
— Former House Speaker Paul Ryan, a Republican from Wisconsin, headlines a fundraiser Monday for Rep. Adam Kinzinger. It’s a decisive move against ex-President Donald Trump, who has set his sights on Republicans who voted to impeach him. Kinzinger is one of 10 Republicans who joined Democrats to impeach Trump for his role in the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol. The Illinois Republican has continued to carry the anti-Trump mantle and it’s no surprise that Ryan would back Kinzinger. Ryan, who’s had a long-running feud with Trump , criticized Republicans who wouldn’t certify the Electoral College results that validated Joe Biden’s election as president.

— On Tuesday, Rep. Adam Kinzinger headlines a virtual discussion with national Playbook co-authors Rachael Bade and Eugene Daniels. Topics: Donald Trump and the internal GOP war about the future of the party, the ouster of Rep. Liz Cheney from leadership, and the struggle to establish a bipartisan commission to investigate the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol.

On September 16, 1996, I presented oral arguments to Chief Judge Posner and to Circuit Court Judges Coffey and Kanne. On March 31, 1997, the Appellate Court agreed with me and ruled that DOT’s exemption for cars over 10 years old was invalid.)

— Biden’s IRS Plan Would Double Agency Staffing – Richard Rubin
(DIERSEN: What does GAO have to say about this? GAO audits IRS. Before I transferred from IRS to GAO in 1980 when I was 31 years old, I had worked for IRS for almost 9 years, the last 5 1/2 years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 Levels, currently $85,935-$97,395/year. My Democrat GAO superiors let me work on audits of IRS 1986-1989 when I was at the GS-13 Step 1-3 levels, currently $102,188-$109,001/year. I should write a book about those in Illinois who have wasted my knowledge of IRS the most. I would focus on my a) Democrat GAO superiors and b) Republican U.S. Senators and U.S. Representatives, candidates for the aforesaid positions, their major donors, their political consultants, their fundraisers, their staff members, and their volunteers. I would focus on the aforesaid who demonized, denigrated, and condemned my knowledge of IRS the most.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Halfway through her first term, Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot is addressing what she says is a lack of diversity in the media. The city’s first Black female mayor says that’s why she decided to only grant one-on-one interviews marking her first two years in office with journalists of color. “I ran to break up the status quo that was failing so many,” Lightfoot said on Twitter. “That isn’t just in City Hall. It’s a shame that in 2021, the City Hall press corps is overwhelmingly White in a city where more than half of the city identifies as Black, Latino, AAPI or Native American.” Her calls for equity are drawing some cheers, while others question the fairness of granting interviews based on race. It should be noted that politicians frequently pick and choose which reporters they’ll grant exclusive interviews and representatives for governors and mayors also frequently shop around ideas for news stories.)

— Whither Meritocracy? University of California Scraps the SAT – Lindsey Burke
https://www.dailysignal.com/2021/05/18/whither-meritocracy-university-of-california-scraps-the-sat/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The settlement announced Friday was the resolution of the 2019 lawsuit, which claimed the tests were biased against minority and low-income students. For all of the shortcomings of standardized tests—and the particular problems with the College Board, which owns the SAT—these college entrance exams attempt to approximate an objective assessment of a student’s capacity to do college-level work. Getting a good score reflects hard work and often is rewarded with admission to a chosen college.)

(DIERSEN: Democrats run IRS. Democrats use IRS to get rid of Republicans. I worked for IRS 1971-1980, the last 5 1/2 years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 Levels (currently $85,935-$97,395/year). I worked for GAO on audits of IRS 1986-1988. In 1978, to get rid of me because I complained about political affiliation discrimination and reverse discrimination, my Democrat IRS superiors disallowed my education deductions. I should write a book about that. They demonized, denigrated, and condemned the graduate business courses that I had taken at Loyola and the graduate accounting courses that I had taken at DePaul a) as being not related to my job duties, b) as not helping me carry out my job duties, c) as being taken by me to get a job in the private sector, d) as qualifying me for a “new trade of business,” and e) as being a distraction.

Extremely few GAO employees make the aforesaid promotion deadlines.)
https://onenewsnow.com/national-security/2021/05/18/boykin-the-purge-is-on-but-who-is-left-to-fight
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Allegations the Biden administration is “purging” the U.S. armed forces of patriotic officers are true and troubling, says a retired U.S. Army general whose name was included in a letter warning the United States is in “deep peril” because of Joe Biden’s mental decline and because the nation is drifting toward Communism and lawlessness. In a radio interview on American Family Radio, retired army general Jerry Boykin confirmed Joe Biden is following in the steps of Barack Obama, whose Pentagon famously sacked nearly 200 officers during his two terms in the White House. But that ideology test weakens our country, he said, because newly promoted officers are not ready to fight a war. According to Boykin, when you push out competent and “combat-tested” officers, such as Army colonels, that creates an enormous gap in leadership and experience that must be filled, over time, by majors and lieutenant colonels who are stepping into new roles and responsibilities.)

— Franklin Graham worries Trump too old to run in 2024
(DIERSEN: I was born in 1948. All my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have always promoted age discrimination. What would you stress in defense of your age? I stress that neither health problems nor any other kind of problem has stopped me from putting together and sending out a GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletter a) each and every morning since 2004 and b) each and every evening too since 2015. Further, I have the best record by far for attending Milton Township Republican Organization meetings and fundraisers since 1999.)
https://www.axios.com/franklin-graham-trump-2024-president-054ab9ca-f55e-4588-baa0-b564cefa0592.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The Rev. Franklin Graham says a potential 2024 presidential bid by Donald Trump would “be a very tough thing to do,” the prominent Christian leader told “Axios on HBO.” Why it matters: Graham, the president of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association and Samaritan’s Purse, was among Trump’s earliest and most prominent evangelical defenders. Graham told “Axios on HBO” that a Trump comeback would be difficult because of his advancing age and eating habits. ““I think for him, everything will depend on his health at that time. If he still has energy and strength like he does. I don’t.” “You know the guy does not eat well, you know, and it’s amazing the energy that he has.” “He’s lost weight, fifteen pounds, Maybe. So he might be in good health and in good shape. I don’t know.” Trump would be 78 in 2024, the same age as Joe Biden in 2020. The big picture: Graham stood by Trump through repeated scandals, telling “Axios on HBO” in 2018 that he saw Trump as a defender of the faith. “Now people say ‘Well Frank but how can you defend him, when he’s lived such a sordid life?’ I never said he was the best example of the Christian faith. He defends the faith. And I appreciate that very much.”)

(DIERSEN: I should write a book about my critics/opponents who have demonized, denigrated, and condemned me the most for my being a union member for almost 12 years. During those almost 12 years (1966-1969 and 1971-1980), my federal salary increased from $16.81/hour to $97,395/year in today’s dollars. In my defense, I earned a bachelor’s degree in management from NIU in 1970 and an MBA from Loyola in 1976, I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, and I started taking graduate accounting courses at DePaul in 1976.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: US President Joe Biden made a remarkable speech at the end of March: “I’m a union guy. I support unions. Unions built the middle class. It’s about time they start to get a piece of the action.” He said this at a carpentry trade school outside the rust-belt city of Pittsburgh, which only served to underscore the message. The idea that a political leader in an Anglosphere country might be interested in what unions have to say felt like a seismic shift — and one that took me back. One of the great stories of my adult life has the widespread acceptance that it is all right, even desirable, to be filthy rich.)

— Should you ban political talk at work? – Orianna Rosa Royle
(DIERSEN: While I worked for the Democrats who ran the federal government 1966-1969 and 1971-1997, my Democrat superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates frequently asked me questions to get/confirm information to use against me. For example, that I was a Republican, that I was conservative, that I opposed political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination, that I opposed promotion of dependency on government, that I opposed dependency on charity, that I opposed the promotion of LGBTQ, abortion, mass/illegal immigration, booze, gambling, pot, and other vices, and diminishment of First and Second Amendment rights, that I avoided the draft, that I had been baptized, raised, and confirmed as a Missouri Synod Lutheran, that I was 100% German national origin, that my ancestors had been America since 1844, that I had lived in Crete 1948-1972 and Wheaton since 1978, that my wife and I had given up trying to have children, that we did not adopt, and that we did not become foster parents, that I bought a new 1972 Corvette in 1971, a 1962 Chevy Impala SS collector car in 1989, and a 1968 Dodge Charger R/T collector car in 1994, that my wife and I bought a home in Wheaton in 1978 and that we had one built there in 1984, etc.)
