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.)

— 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.)

(DIERSEN: Ever-increasingly, Democrat teachers crank out “good little Democrats” who are full of hatred against those who are law enforcement officers, Trump supporters, conservative, patriotic, Republican, American, White, male, older, heterosexual, married, non-poor, gun owners, Christian, Protestant, Italian American, German American, and/or those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time.)
https://www.fox6now.com/news/chicago-area-prep-school-asks-students-how-they-wield-white-privilege-in-assignment
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Loyola Academy, which boasts high-profile alums such as comedian Bill Murray and actor Chris O’Donnell, has 2,094 students in grades 9 through 12 and costs $17,750 per year. About 80% of students are White, 6% Asian, 5% Black and 5% Hispanic. Loyola’s website says the school is committed to building a “welcoming, accepting school culture and climate in which all members feel a genuine sense of belonging.” However, another student, who asked to remain anonymous due to fear of retaliation, noted that ethics and sociology classes at the school are “very left-leaning” and that one exam being administered this week teaches kids there are 72 different genders. A second student speaking on the condition of anonymity told Fox News that it’s “shamed upon to be a conservative.” Some students, including Brennan, recently tried to start a chapter of Turning Point USA, an organization that advocates conservative narratives on school campuses, but were told by student activities group leaders Melissa Krein and Noah Hartman that they were not allowed to do so because the group is “anti-Semitic and racist.” The students were told, before a meeting to discuss the club had even begun, that there was a zero percent chance the chapter would be allowed on campus. A Zoom meeting held after the students were denied the ability to start a Turning Point chapter alerted parents to the “overlying problem” with what the kids were being taught, Brennan said. Since then, the students started a petition that has received over 170 signatures voicing support for a Turning Point chapter on Loyola’s campus. Loyola Academy needs conservative voices like Turning Point USA more than ever before, and it’s exactly why they are fighting to keep us out,” said Charlie Kirk, founder of Turning Point USA. Kirk is a frequent guest on Fox News and FOX Business. In the end, the students just want to go to a school where everyone’s voice can be heard. Loyola Academy is trying to make itself a more inclusive place, but “while doing so they have failed to include conservative voices,” Brennan said. The school has been “transformed into a social justice powerhouse,” said the first student speaking anonymously. “That’s not what school is. It’s supposed to educate, inform and give kids the opportunity to form their own opinions and critically think on their own.”)

LYONS PATCH
— Lyons Township HS Conservative Group Meets Without District OK The student chapter of Turning Point USA has met on Zoom since December while an online petition has surfaced to keep it from gaining status. – Jeff Arnold
(DIERSEN: Of course, my critics/opponents want me to get an OK from the following to send out GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters: Illinois Republican Party, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Milton Township Republican Organization. My critics/opponents stress how the aforesaid have treated me and treated my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters since 2000.)
https://patch.com/illinois/chicago/lyons-township-conservative-group-meets-without-district-backing
(FROM THE ARTICLE: In order for the group to be an official club by district standards, several things must occur, Bialobok wrote. The person proposing the club or activity must answer all questions in the Proposal Questionnaire — such as, a description of the club, a description of the lessons, experiences or benefits of the club, and where, when and how often the club will meet, etc. The person proposing the club or activity must also submit the New Club/Activity Petition, which should include at least 25 signatures from current LTHS students who would agree to join the club or activity should it be approved. The Stipend Committee, which meets four times per year, must decide whether to recommend the proposal to the Board of Education’s Human Resource Committee, to return the proposal with suggestions, or to reject the proposal. According to Bialobok, the Stipend Committee meets four times a year and would need to approve a club for a one-year pilot program. For the club to achieve full club status (which includes a stipend for the sponsor), the Stipend Committee, the district’s central office, the board of education’s human resources committee, and full board must approve. Meanwhile, a petition posted on Change.org entitled, “Keep hateful organizations out of Lyons Township High School” recently appeared online. As of Tuesday, the petition only had 12 signatures after being started by a poster with a username of “Concerned student.” The petition takes exception to the organization’s approach to “friendly relations” with far-right organizations, which the organizer of the petition does not want to gain traction at the high school level, the person wrote.)

— Web site ( https://www.45office.com/ ) boosts Trump link with supporters – Editorial
(DIERSEN: What do you say hate-filled Trump-hating Trump-haters who paint themselves as being religious, conservative, and/or Republican?)
https://www.bostonherald.com/2021/03/31/editorial-web-site-boosts-trump-link-with-supporters/
(FROM THE EDITORIAL: When they’re not excoriating him, Democrats have been doing their level best to pave over the accomplishments of former President Donald Trump. To hear them tell it, Dr. Anthony Fauci spearheaded the ramped-up vaccine operation, and President Joe Biden should be credited with its rollout. Dems take particular glee in Trump’s ban from Twitter, Facebook and YouTube. If they think this has dimmed his fire, they are much mistaken. Trump and wife Melania launched a website, 45office.com, offering a way for supporters to reach out to the pair. “The official website of the 45th President of the United States will allow individuals to submit correspondence, scheduling requests, and press inquiries for President and Mrs. Trump,” they announced. “President and Mrs. Trump are continually strengthened by the enduring spirit of the American people, and they look forward to staying in touch.” The site will no doubt rouse the ire of Dems — and disdain of late night hosts — who rarely miss a chance to sneer at the former president, while ignoring the appeal he holds for 74 million Americans. As the left wing continues to gain power on Capitol Hill and progressive legislation passes with little regard for those with opposing views, you can bet Trump’s supporters will be reaching out and speaking up. A website may not have the immediacy of a Twitter blast, but it’s still a valuable platform if one were to, say, back conservative candidates for midterm elections. Trump still has juice, and supporters. And Democrats will ignore both of these at their political peril.)

Berlin said that’s a class X felony. “The people who are dying in these cases are victims,” said Berlin. “They’re drug users that the drug dealers take advantage of, and that’s why I believe it’s very important to hold these dealers accountable for their actions.” Berlin stressed the importance of separating the dealer from the user. He feels educating the public on the dangers of opioid abuse could help, especially for younger Illinois residents. “Also let them know what can happen if you’re selling these drugs to someone and they die as a result of using them,” said Berlin.)

— Jeep’s Belvidere assembly plant among 5 Stellantis facilities shut down Monday because of chip shortage – ERIC D.
LAWRENCE (DIERSEN: While I was a full-time student at NIU in 1970, I worked on the assembly line in this plant Mondays during January and February before the plant shut down.)
https://www.chicagotribune.com/business/ct-biz-jeep-belvidere-stellantis-chip-shortage-20210329-j62bz3kl3fgt5jinrspy5z3izu-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Unifor Local 444 President Dave Cassidy told the Windsor Star that the situation is frustrating heading into the upcoming Easter weekend, and he blamed a short-sighted parts manufacturing strategy for the crisis. “Chrysler used to build many of its own parts. This just-in-time delivery is costing us untold dollars for short-term savings. . . A UAW spokesman, when asked about the Stellantis shutdowns, directed a reporter to a previous statement, highlighting the off-shoring of semiconductor production over the previous 30 years to South Korea, Taiwan and China. The union said the United States only controls about 14% of semiconductor manufacturing.)
— Federal judge denies Hinsdale motion to dismiss lawsuits related to Trinity Sober Living – KIMBERLY FORNEK
(DIERSEN: When Diersen v. GAO ( https://gopillinois.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/DiersenGAOFifthAmendedComplaint.pdf ) was transferred from Washington, DC to Chicago in 2000, it was assigned to Judge Gettleman ( https://www.ilnd.uscourts.gov/_assets/_documents/_forms/_judges/GETTLEMAN/RWGBio.htm ). I should write a book about how he openly mocked me in court.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Hinsdale officials have until April 15 to answer the complaints the U.S. Department of Justice and an agency providing housing for people recovering from addiction filed against the village, after a federal judge denied the village’s motions to dismiss the two lawsuits. Trinity Sober Living in July 2019 bought a house for up to 10 men to live and receive services as they recovered from alcoholism or drug addiction. Because the house, at 111 Grant St., was in a neighborhood zoned for single-family houses, the village claimed Trinity Sober Living violated its zoning code, which prohibits commercial uses in residential areas and limits the number of unrelated individuals who can live in a single-family home to three. In his March 18 opinion and order, U.S. District Judge Robert Gettleman wrote he considers “the crux” of Trinity’s complaint to be Hinsdale failed to make reasonable accommodations to afford Trinity’s clients equal opportunity to enjoy the use of the house, per the Fair Housing Act. Trinity argued people recovering from addiction are protected by the American with Disabilities Act and the Fair Housing Act, which prohibits discrimination against people with disabilities. Hinsdale’s zoning code allows licensed public or private agencies to operate group homes for up to six individuals in multifamily zoned area only with a special use permit.)

(DIERSEN: What do you say to those who become the following to get more preference for those who share their demographics: activists, candidates, elected officials, party leaders, major donors, political consultants, reporters, journalists, etc.? I should write a book about the aforesaid. I would focus on those who are minority, female, younger, LGBTQ, Democrat, Libertarian, Green, Independent, RINO, moderate, liberal, veteran, renters, drinkers, gamblers, stoners, criminals, non-married, non-Christian, non-Protestant, non-Italian American, non-German American, and/or those whose ancestors have not been in America for a long time.)
https://www.breitbart.com/clips/2021/03/29/duckworth-white-house-told-me-we-dont-need-any-other-asians-in-the-cabinet/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Monday, Sen. Tammy Duckworth (D-IL) discussed her recent push for more Asian representation in the White House after President Joe Biden vowed to create the “most diverse cabinet” in American history. Duckworth, who recently contested the Biden administration’s white cabinet appointees in the name of more “diversity,” said she was told by the White House that since Vice President Kamala Harris represents the Asian-American community, there is not a need for “any other Asians in the cabinet.” She went on to say the issue was worked out with the administration, and she is “pleased” there is now someone to help Asian-Americans navigate their issues.)

I did yard work and delivered newspapers 1962-1964; washed dishes 1964-1966; cleaned golf shoes, chipped slag, and pumped gasoline in 1966; delivered mail 1966-1969; worked on an automobile assembly line and as a security guard in 1970; sold tires, automotive services, and major appliances 1970-1971; pumped gasoline 1971-1972; collected delinquent taxes 1971-1980; and audited federal agencies 1980-1997. I spent far less on immediate pleasures than my peers and I saved far more than my peers. To qualify myself for better paying jobs, 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.)

https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/health/2021/03/26/covid-vaccine-passports-new-york-first-vaccination-proof-system/6976009002/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: But whether American consumers and businesses will accept the idea of providing proof before entry is not so obvious, she said. Just as many Americans have resisted wearing masks during the pandemic, some will reject the idea of showing a certificate to get into a ballgame or nightclub. Requiring vaccination “is not something we have done before within this country outside of school systems and hospitals,” said Fairchild, adding it would be incredibly useful from a public health standpoint and could eventually be expanded to cover flu and measles shots – if public opinion would allow it.)

https://www.govexec.com/management/2021/03/new-blacks-government-president-reflects-her-career-during-womens-history-month/172952/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: I have spent my entire government career at the U.S. Government Accountability Office, almost 33 years now. Having started as a GS-7 summer legal associate in 1988, I have been living out my childhood dream of becoming a lawyer, a dream that ultimately grew into becoming a lawyer who would help the government be accountable to, and representative of, the people that it serves. And, I am very proud that in February of 2019, I was appointed by the U.S. comptroller general to the Senior Executive Service making me the first African American female in the agency’s now 100-year history to be appointed to the position of managing associate general counsel. As such, within GAO’s Office of General Counsel, I have management and leadership responsibility for three of the office’s legal teams focused on budget and appropriations law and congressional oversight. In addition, after 25 years of membership, I am proudly serving as the 15th National President of Blacks in Government, a position I assumed on January 1, 2021. And, through my work at GAO supporting the Congress and the American people and my work in [Blacks in Government] supporting greater diversity, equity and inclusion, I am indeed living out my childhood dream.)

https://www.bizjournals.com/kansascity/news/2021/03/26/ford-gm-chip-shortage-plants-idled.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Ford isn’t the only local automobile manufacturer impacted by the chip shortage. General Motors Co. idled its Fairfax Assembly Plant on Feb. 8 and doesn’t expect to be able to bring it back online until mid-April. The plant employs 2,229 people and produces the Chevrolet Malibu and Cadillac XT4. General Motors (NYSE: GM) expects the shortage will cause it to lose between $1.5 billion and $2 billion in profits in 2021. The chips, which require dust-free, specialized facilities to produce, are in short supply due to a huge spike in demand for electronics during the Covid-19 pandemic. Demand isn’t expected to slow anytime soon and getting new plants online costs billions of dollars and takes years of construction.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Pre-pandemic, suburban school board contests were often no-drama affairs, in some cases, failing to attract enough candidates to fill open seats. But this election arrives in the wake of a tumultuous 2020 campaign season that was punctuated by parents protesting for reopened schools, marathon school board meetings and even lawsuits, including one filed this month against school board members in Naperville- and Aurora-based Indian Prairie School District 204 by a group of parents who allege a coordinated “cover-up of COVID-19 planning.”)

USA TODAY
— Don’t blame the tests: Getting rid of standardized testing means punishing poor students. Eliminating meritocratic opportunities for students to excel will cause colleges to rely on the ‘soft’ parts of a résumé, which will benefit the rich. – Sean-Michael Pigeon
(DIERSEN: When you were in high school, were you viewed as being “college material?” I was not. Neither of my outstanding parents attended college. My father was the first of his ancestors to earn a high school diploma. My mother never attended high school. During my junior and senior years and the summer in between, I washed dishes for the minimum wage in the basement of the S.S. Kresges in Chicago Heights. Nevertheless, I took college-preparatory courses, gat into the upper 20% of my class, and got a 24 on the ACT. What tests have you passed? The tests that I have passed include a) the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979 when I was 30 years old, b) the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981, c) all the tests necessary to earn a master’s degree in financial markets and trading from IIT in 1997, d) all the tests necessary to earn a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980, e) all the tests necessary to earn an MBA from Loyola in 1976, f) all the tests necessary to earn a bachelor’s degree in management from NIU in 1970, g) the Federal Service Entrance Examination in 1970, and h) the Post Office employment examination in 1966.)

— General Motors Top In Manufacturer Loyalty For Sixth Consecutive Year. – SAM MCEACHERN
https://gmauthority.com/blog/2021/03/general-motors-top-in-manufacturer-loyalty-for-sixth-consecutive-year/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: It’s worth pointing out GM has the highest manufacturer loyalty and not brand loyalty. That means that an owner of a new GM product (ie. Chevy, Buick, GMC, Cadillac) is more likely to buy another vehicle from one of its four retail brands. This study found Ford had the highest amount of brand loyalty, which was likely largely driven by the loyal buying habits of Ford F-Series customers. “Ford’s leadership in pickups contributed to its industry leading loyalty level of 63 percent, with F-Series accounting for 39 percent of the brand’s make loyal volume in 2020,” IHS Markit said.)

https://nypost.com/2021/03/28/democrats-targeting-red-states-and-other-commentary/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Democrats are alarmed by the number of residents fleeing blue states, but “instead of trying to fix the policies” that push people away, liberal lawmakers “want to impose those unpopular mandates nationwide,” observes Liz Peek at The Hill. To “eliminate the competition between states that they are losing,” lefties are “pushing bills that would put the federal government in charge of states’ labor laws, fiscal policies and voting rules” — from stimulus funds that prohibit state-level tax cuts to ballot-box “reforms” intended to enhance blue turnout in red places. These “egregious power-grabs” are “downright authoritarian.”)

— Cancel the ‘Cancel Culture’ Defense of Terrible Republicans. The people have the right to disfavor their representatives if they fail at their job. – Paul Bradford
(DIERSEN: My critics/opponents cancel me because I refuse to a) glorify and praise them, b) pander to them, c) serve as one of their operatives or dupes, d) give them money, and/or e) cover up their wrongdoing. My critics/opponents cancel me because I support planks in the Republican Party platform that they reject. My critics/opponents cancel me because I supported candidates who they cancel.

BREITBART
— When Wokeness Damages Democrats
https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2021/03/27/virgil-when-wokeness-damages-democrats/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: We got a peek into the future of woke diversity on March 23, when Sen. Tammy Duckworth (D-IL) announced that she was so mad at the Biden administration for supposedly neglecting Asian-American and Pacific Islanders (AAPI) that she wouldn’t vote to confirm any more of Biden’s non-minority appointees. “I will vote for racial minorities and I will vote for LGBTQ, but anybody else I’m not voting for,” she said. “Until then, I am a ‘no’ vote on the floor on all non-diversity nominees.” Explaining her stance, Duckworth recalled that she had been on a conference call with White House staffers and had complained about this alleged lack of diversity. The response that came back was not at all satisfactory to Duckworth: “The first words out of the staff mouth was ‘We’re very proud of Vice President Harris,’ which is incredibly insulting.”)

In 1997, my Democrat GAO superiors purged me. Their efforts to purge me were frustrated a) by my becoming a Certified Fraud Examiner in 1990, Certified Government Financial Manager in 1994, Certified Financial Services Auditor in 1996, and Forensic Accountant in 1997 and b) by my earning a master’s degree in financial markets and trading in 1997.)

https://thehill.com/homenews/state-watch/545173-chicago-suburb-could-serve-as-roadmap-for-reparations?rnd=1616933490
— DIERSEN HEADLINE: A hate-filled Trump-hating Trump-hater says “Trump can still hold both parties hostage.”
(DIERSEN: Expect that Kinzinger and his supporters will do everything that they can to destroy Republican individuals, to destroy Republican organizations, to destroy Republican companies, and to destroy Republican governments in Illinois that do not hate Trump. Of course, Kinzinger-supporters will do everything that they can a) to stop me from sending out GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters and b) to stop everyone from reading those newsletters. I should write a book about Kinzinger-supporters who read my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters for “opposition research,” that is, to get information to use to turn people against me. They a) look for articles linked in my newsletters that are “bad news” for Republican activists, candidates, elected officials, party leaders, major donors, political consultants, etc., b) bring those articles to the attention of the aforesaid, and c) use my including links to those articles in my newsletters to turn the aforesaid against me. In my book, I would identify a) Kinzinger-supporters who read my newsletters for opposition research and b) those who they have turned against me.)
https://thehill.com/opinion/campaign/544968-trump-can-still-hold-both-parties-hostage
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The main reason for this is the approximately 75 million votes he got in the last election, of which he arguably still holds a majority in his back pocket. How many of those voters will still follow Trump? How many can still be swayed by his pronouncements? How many will turn against Republicans who Trump feels have sinned against him? How many would follow Trump into a newly created political party? No one knows for certain.)

https://www.nytimes.com/2021/03/23/opinion/tom-reed-cuomo.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: When Ms. Davis’s accusations broke last Friday, Mr. Reed fired off a short, vague statement saying her account was “not accurate.” But by Sunday, he had reversed course. In a longer, more detailed statement, he stopped short of confirming Ms. Davis’s account but said that, at the time of the trip, he was struggling with alcoholism and that he accepted “full responsibility” for his piggishness. “This is in no way an excuse for anything I’ve done,” he wrote. “Consistent with my recovery, I publicly take ownership of my past actions, offer this amends and humbly apologize again to Ms. Davis, my wife and kids, loved ones, and to all of you.” He further vowed “to help those wrestling with addiction.”)
