https://amgreatness.com/2021/05/24/the-woke-pledge-of-allegiance/
— DIERSEN HEADLINE: Who have you oppressed? My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have always hinted/implied/argued/shouted that I am an oppressor, that is, that I oppress those who are minority, female, younger, LGBTQ, veteran, poor, Democrat, Libertarian, Green, Independent, RINO, moderate, liberal, non-married, non-Christian, non-Protestant, non-German American, and those whose ancestors have not been in America for a long time. But to be an oppressor, you need to have power to oppress others. What power do you have to oppress others? Those who are officers of organizations have power to oppress the members of those organizations. I have never been an officer of the Wheaton Chamber of Commerce, Milton Township Republican Organization, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, or Illinois Republican Party. Those who run units of governments have power to oppress those who live in those units of governments. I have never been a Wheaton West District City Council member, Wheaton Citywide Council member, Wheaton Mayor, Milton Township officer, DuPage County 4th District Board member, DuPage County Board Chairman, Illinois Representative, Illinois Senator, Illinois Governor, U.S. Representative, or U.S. Senator. Again, to be an oppressor, you have to have power to oppress others.)
https://amgreatness.com/2021/05/24/a-hard-but-simple-way-to-detoxify-american-politics/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The primary, driving force in American life today is resentment. The “oppressed”—sexual and racial minorities, women, the disabled, immigrants, and so on—resent those whom they have been told oppress them—straight, white, heterosexual Christian men. And the “oppressors” in turn resent those who have viciously and baselessly smeared them as moral monsters: racist, sexist, xenophobic, homophobic, transphobic. The so-called oppressed resent their so-called oppressors because they perceive themselves as victims of hostile forces outside of their control, while the so-called oppressors, in turn, resent the so-called oppressed just as fiercely and also out of a sense of victimhood—because, in their case, they have been unjustly maligned without any recourse.)

POLITICO ILLINOIS
— Who says Democrats don’t like gerrymandering? The new maps are out for General Assembly seats, and it’s a bloodbath for Republicans. – SHIA KAPOS
https://www.politico.com/newsletters/illinois-playbook/2021/05/24/its-a-remap-bloodbath-why-rodney-davis-voted-yes-a-year-after-george-floyd-492977
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Using population estimates that show declines downstate, Democrats have consolidated districts, forcing some incumbents — mostly Republicans — to face each other in 2022. (Here’s another version of the map.) The most dramatic is in the new 107th District, which could see a primary between four sitting Republican representatives: Dan Caulkins (R-101), Brad Halbrook (R-102), Blaine Wilhour (R-107) and Adam Niemerg (R-109). Political analyst Andrew Ellison has pulled together a map of what the new district could look like once approved. Republicans, who have spent weeks calling for an independent process, were quick to condemn the maps and called on Gov. J.B. Pritzker to veto them. “When politicians like the House Democrats are allowed to draw their own maps, they will only work to preserve their power,” House GOP spokeswoman Eleni Demertzis said. Democrats defended the maps: “This is a fair map that reflects the great diversity of our state and ensures every person receives equal representation in the General Assembly,” Sen. Omar Aquino, who chairs the Senate Redistricting Committee, said in WBEZ’s report. Ellison says other pairs play out this way: 46th District: Deb Conroy (D-46) and Deanne Mazzochi (R-47); 47th District: Amy Grant (R-42) and Seth Lewis (R-45); 50th District: Keith Wheeler (R-50) and Dan Ugaste (R-65); 51st District: Chris Bos (R-51) and Thomas Morrison (R-54); 87th District: Keith Sommer (R-88) and Mark Luft (R-91); 90th District: Tony McCombie (R-71) and Andrew Chesney (R-89); 99th District: Randy Frese (R-94) and C.D. Davidsmeyer (R-100); 108th District: Avery Bourne (R-95th) and Mike Murphy (R-99); and 115th District: Charles Meier (R-108) and David Friess (R-116). A few pairings of incumbents are happening in the state Senate, too. In the new 23rd District: Thomas Cullerton (D-23) and Suzanne Glowiak (D-24) would face each other; and in the 55th District: Jason Plummer (R-54) and Darren Bailey (R-55) would compete. Both of those are interesting for different reasons. Cullerton has been serving under the shadow of embezzlement charges. He goes to trial in February. And Bailey is running for governor. It will be a challenge if he has to worry about a state Senate primary, too. . .Amusing side note: There was chatter in Springfield that House Speaker Emanuel “Chris” Welch and House Minority Leader Jim Durkin’s districts were going to be combined. Not true, but their districts are close to each other. . .Stephens gains ground: Republican Rep. Brad Stephens (20th) was an exception among GOP House lawmakers. His seat gained ground in Chicago (from the 41st and 38th Wards) and Rosemont, where he is mayor. Relief for McConchie: The redraw of Senate Minority Leader Dan McConchie puts primary competitor Casey Urlacher in a different district.)

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.)

(DIERSEN HEADLINE: When I graduated from NIU in 1970, I took the only job offer that I received; to be the Retail Sales Manager in the Chicago Heights Firestone Store. The job did not really require a college degree. Constructively, I served as the store’s salesman. Firestone’s district office hired me; the store’s manager would never have hired me. He disapproved of my avoiding the draft, my being a college graduate, my being Missouri Synod Lutheran, and my being 100% German American. He refused to let me start until I passed a 2-week probationary period working in Firestone’s Gary store. He rudely fired me when I gave him my 2-week notice in early 1971. I had accepted a job offer from Oldsmobile. But Oldsmobile withdrew that job offer saying that it had just agreed to stop hiring Whites to settle an EEOC complaint. The aforesaid directly resulted in my accepting a job offer from IRS.)

https://www.dailyherald.com/discuss/20210522/editorial-time-to-pass-news-literacy-bill
(FROM THE ARTICLE: An informed citizenry is the heart of a democracy. Without it, we the people — as the architects of our government — are subject to manipulation, unsound decisions, poor choices. News literacy matters. And particularly in this era of rumor, social media lies and falsehoods, algorithmic digital marketing, Orwellian politics and yes, news media bias, it has become central. . .Yes, news literacy matters, as we have said in this space in the past. So we’re disappointed that legislation in Springfield to require a news literacy curriculum in our schools has become another partisan issue. We do not understand that. We do not understand why Republicans would oppose citizenship education. Our schools are meant to prepare our kids for the adult world. In a democracy, what preparation is more important?)

(DIERSEN: Needless-to-say, to claim that conservatives have any power in academia, or in anything else, is patently absurd and insulting.

Ever-increasingly, conservative-haters a) crow about their success in getting rid of conservatives in Illinois, in DuPage County, in DuPage County’s 4th District, in Milton Township, in Wheaton, in Wheaton’s West District, and in my precinct and b) crow about their success in promoting dependency on government, dependency on charity, LGBTQ, abortion, mass/illegal immigration, booze, gambling, pot, and other vices, abolition of the First and Second Amendments, patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: The state senator tweeted that he was speaking out about the past relationship because “investigators have been hounding my family for weeks and now the liberal fake news is coming out with a hit piece about my teenage years.” He pointed to “dirty politics” in his Facebook video, but did not explicitly name Cheney or any politicians. Bouchard claimed that the efforts of an unnamed British media reporter and a “political opposition research company” were why he wanted to disclose the news. Cheney campaign spokesman Jeremy Adler declined to comment on Bouchard’s past relationship. He denied that the congresswoman’s campaign played any role in pushing the story. “Absolutely not,” he said to The Washington Post. Messages left for the Wyoming Republican Party and the state Senate were not immediately returned Friday.)

— Air Force watchdog to examine reassignment of Space Force commander – Samuel Chamberlain
(DIERSEN: In a different world, my Republican U.S. Senators and my Republican U.S. Representatives would have demanded investigations of the adverse actions that the Democrats who ran GAO 1980-1997, IRS 1971-1980, and Post Office 1966-1969 took against me. My Democrat GAO superiors forced me to retire in 1997 when I was 49 years old, gave me unfair performance expectations and appraisals, always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes, did not promote me beyond GS-13, got rid of my mentor in 1987, kept me off audits of IRS for all but 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for GAO, 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, disallowed my education deductions in 1978, got rid of my mentor in 1975, and disallowed my partial day per diem claims in 1974. My Democrat Post Office superiors forced me to resign in 1969 and disallowed my sick leave requests in 1969 and 1968.)
https://nypost.com/2021/05/21/air-force-watchdog-to-examine-removal-of-space-force-commander/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Air Force spokeswoman Ann Stefanek confirmed Thursday that the investigation into whether Lt. Col. Matthew Lohmeier’s actions constituted “prohibited partisan political activity” had been elevated “due to the complexity and sensitivity of the issues under consideration, as well as potential for [Air Force]-wide impact.” Lohmeier was relieved of command of the 11th Space Warning Squadron at Buckley Air Force Base in Colorado after he appeared on the “Information Operation” podcast earlier this month to discuss his book “Irresistible Revolution: Marxism’s Goal of Conquest & the Unmaking of the American Military.” “The diversity, inclusion and equity industry and the trainings we are receiving in the military … is rooted in critical race theory, which is rooted in Marxism,” Lohmeier told podcast host L. Todd Wood.)

— Biden revokes Trump-era order targeting shield for website operators – REBECCA KLAR
(DIERSEN: My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes do not want me to have any kind of shield for anything that I do for you as your GOPUSA Illinois Editor. They want to stop me from sending out GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters. Failing that, they want to stop me from posting copies of the newsletters at www.gopillinois.com . Failing that, they want to stop everyone from reading the newsletters. Failing that, they do everything that they can to frustrate my efforts to put together and send out the newsletters.)

(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?

Further, I have the best record by far for attending Milton Township Republican Organization meetings and fundraisers since 1999.)

I bought a new 1966 Pontiac Tempest Sprint in 1966, a new 1968 Oldsmobile 442 in 1967, and a new 1969 Dodge Charger SE in 1968.)

— 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.”)

FINANCIAL TIMES
— A revolt against the rich could be sparked by basic demographics. There are now far more millennial adults, some with children, for whom the economy is not delivering. – RHYMER RIGBY
(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.)
https://www.ft.com/content/39a68887-0277-4be8-bc1e-310601522f0a
(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.)


MANAGEMENT TODAY
— 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.)
