GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— This morning, during its public comment period, I spoke at the DuPage County
Development Committee meeting and urged that DuPage County be the first county
in Illinois to ban the sale of pot in its unincorporated areas. What do you say
to my pot-pushing critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes who
pander to the Democrat news media and who proclaim that I cannot be both a
member of the news media and someone who speaks at DuPage County meetings? What
they are really saying is that the only people who are legitimate members of
the news media are a) those who are paid for what they do, b) those who have a
degree in journalism, and c) those who state that they are non-partisan. – Dave

— Communications problem hampers bipartisanship attempt – Bernard Schoenburg https://www.sj-r.com/opinion/20190814/bernard-schoenburg-communications-problem-hampers-bipartisanship-attempt (FROM THE ARTICLE:
Traditionally, the two political days at the State Fair are reserved for
parties to enthuse the base with the message. Certainly, on Wednesday, when
U.S. House Speaker NANCY PELOSI spoke at the Crowne Plaza to the Illinois Democratic
County Chairs’ Association brunch, it fit that script. And Thursday is GOP Day
at the fair. But freshman Democratic Gov. J.B. PRITZKER framed the picnic he
hosted (and paid for personally) at the Director’s Lawn at the State Fair as a
bipartisan event, and said he invited all lawmakers, including Republicans.
Well, House GOP Leader JIM DURKIN, R-Western Springs, said he never got an
invitation, and ELENI DEMERTZIS, his spokeswoman, said some others in the
caucus she checked with didn’t receive invitations either. . .Durkin said had
he received the invitation, he probably would have attended.)

GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— Past and present candidates and elected officials who spoke at the Milton
Township Republican Central Committee (MTRCC) meeting Wednesday evening, August
14, 2019, at the Holiday Inn in Carol Stream included Almiron, Corrigan,
Diersen, Eckhoff, Fitch, Grant, Heidorn, Holder, Ives, Kachiroubas, Keller,
Kinzler, Krzyzewski, Larsen, McCluskey, McGowen, Monino, Seppelfrick, Walsh,
and Whelan. Meeting attendees included Baker, Bohn, Carlson, Caruso, Cooper,

Kachiroubas, Krzyzewski, Larsen, LeVan, Lofgren, Lollino, McCarthy, McNeily,
Muehlfelt, Nathwani, Rash, Ryan, Shaw, Smith, Tatro, Veenstra, and Zaruba.
Judge McCluskey announced his candidacy for the upcoming Judge George J.
Bakalis vacancy. Larsen reported on what DuPage County is doing concerning the
pot issue. Fitch reported on what Wheaton is doing concerning the West District
City Council vacancy and the pot issue. Sadly, its seems like the majority of
Republican Precinct Committeemen in Wheaton’s West District are not interested
in getting together and gathering information on the West District candidates,
hosting a candidate forum, or recommending any of the 10 candidates who have
applied to be appointed to fill the vacancy. Sadly, it seems like the majority
of Milton Township Republican Precinct Committeemen are not interested in
getting together and urging DuPage County, Wheaton, or Glen Ellyn to ban the
sale of pot. Sadly, it seems like the majority of Milton Township Republican
Precinct Committeemen side with my critics/opponents, their operatives, and
their dupes. They blame me for their problems, for your problems, for my problems,
and for everyone’s problems. They support those who slander and threaten me at
MTRCC meetings. They support those who focus on a) stopping me from putting
GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails together and sending them out and b) stopping everyone
from reading those emails. They support those who discourage Republican
candidates, elected officials, and organizations from helping sponsor Wheaton’s
Independence Day fireworks and parades. The focus on turning everyone against
me, including those who run the Holiday Inn in Carol Stream and those who ran
the Wheaton Bowl. They work harder against me and harder against other
conservatives than they have ever worked against any Democrat. – Dave Diersen http://www.gopillinois.com

Measured edibles will reintroduce THC to the sex, drugs and rock-and-roll
generation — who, by and large, gave up smoking dope as they had kids and
moved up the career ladder. I am already surrounded by seniors who get high
when they go to concerts, movies or even just watch the sunset. I know younger
folks who microdose in preparation for everything from writing a PowerPoint to
boarding a plane. I am fully cognizant of the argument that you should only get
high on life and that using THC is an escapist crutch to avoid reality. But as
edibles (and soon drinkables) spread across the nation, it will be a huge
improvement over those who abuse alcohol and become unbearably boorish. I can’t

weeks ago, the News-Press asked the community to weigh in on our process of
endorsing political candidates. The question was: To endorse or not to endorse?
The feedback was voluminous and passionate. Thirty-eight people wrote to say we
should stop endorsing candidates in various city, county, state and federal
races and 35 said we should continue. A common theme in most of the responses
was an appreciation for our diligence in vetting the candidates through
questionnaires, background checks and interviews. They wanted the information
to help them decide on whom should get their vote. We agree the most important
part of what we do — and we do it better than most — is going in-depth with the
candidates on the issues. Getting specific answers to and solutions for some of
our most critical issues, like water quality and the environment, affordable
and attainable housing, the mental health and opioid crisis, how to improve
education and build new schools, mean the most to people. That same information
also was vital for us in endorsing candidates.)

operate special airport rigs at O’Hare, Midway – PETER NICKEAS (DIERSEN: GAO
audits IRS. I transferred from IRS to GAO in 1980 when I was 31 years old.
While I worked for GAO for almost 18 years after having worked for IRS for
almost 9 years, the last 5 1/2 years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 levels,
currently $82,579-$93,592, my GAO superiors a) refused to assign me to audits
of IRS for all but 3 of those almost 18 years and b) routinely assigned other staff
to audits of IRS who had no knowledge of or interest in IRS, who did not want
to be assigned to audits of IRS, who had far less work experience that I had,
who did not have a degree in accounting like I had, who had not passed the CPA
examination like I had done, who had not passed the Certified Internal Auditor
examination like I had done, who had not become a licensed CPA, Certified Fraud
Examiner, Certified Government Financial Manager, Certified Financial Services

and retain qualified Democrats, minorities, females, younger people, and
veterans for the jobs that I had. They viewed the jobs that I had as being bad
jobs. GAO hired me in 1980 because it could not find a qualified Democrat,
minority, female, younger person, or veteran who would take the job. IRS hired
me in 1971 because it could not find a qualified Democrat, minority, female, or

Illinois politics blogger who receives tens of thousands of dollars from state
government agencies wouldn’t comment on whether his post about Confederate
Railroad and subsequent texts to the governor’s staff had anything to do with
the abrupt cancellation of the band’s performance at the DuQuoin State Fair.
Rich Miller writes the Capitol Fax blog, a subscription-based newsletter and
website. In fiscal year 2018, Miller received $35,736 from state government. He
received $34,791 in fiscal year 2019. So far for the fiscal year that started
July 1, he’s received $1,500, according to the latest public records. Most of
the payments to Miller were line items of $500 from various state agencies
throughout the year, including the General Assembly. Miller sells both
subscriptions to and advertisements on Capitol Fax. The Center Square obtained
text messages and emails to and from Gov. J.B. Pritzker’s office through the
Freedom of Information Act. Those messages show on June 17, the same day Miller
posted a blog questioning the band’s scheduled performance, Miller sent a text
to the governor’s deputy press secretary, Emily Bittner.)

Marcus (DIERSEN: Who hates German Americans the most in your neighborhood, in
your precinct, in your municipality, in your township/ward, in your county, and
in Illinois? Government is nasty. Politics is nasty. Democrats and Democrat
plants, Libertarians and Libertarian plants, Greens and Green plants, and RINOs
are nasty. I should write a book about a) how my Democrat superiors,
supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates in the federal government used and b)
how my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes in Wheaton, Glen
Ellyn, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois use my 100% German national
origin against me. They constantly foisted/foist negative German stereotypes on
me. I would focus on those who are German American, but who demonize,
denigrate, and condemn me to curry favor with those who hate German Americans.
They paint themselves as being “good” German Americans who go around
destroying “bad” Germans like me. In my defense, I stress that they
all my ancestors immigrated way back during the 1840s and 1850s, that my
grandfather on my father’s side fought the Germans during WWI, that my uncles
on my mother’s side fought the Germans during WWII, and that if he had not been

stressed that. According to http://dna.ancestry.com, my ancestry is 33% Europe

KRCU
— Cape Girardeau City Council Chooses From Ward 3 Hopefuls Aiming To Fill Seat
Vacancy – CLAYTON HESTER (DIERSEN: Are you a Wheaton resident? Do you live in
Wheaton’s West District? What do you know about the ten who have filed to be
appointed to fill Wheaton’s West District City Council vacancy?) https://www.krcu.org/post/cape-girardeau-city-council-chooses-ward-3-hopefuls-aiming-fill-seat-vacancy#stream/0 (FROM THE ARTICLE: Before
a meeting on Monday, ten Cape Girardeau residents were angling to fill a ward 3
vacancy on the city council. That number has now been whittled down to three
applicants: Tom Roy, Nate Thomas, and Christina Mershon. Roy, a medical
practice manager at SoutheastHEALTH, is an alumni of Southeast Missouri State
University, and has called Cape Girardeau home for the last 19 years. “[I]
don’t have any special interests, don’t have any special agendas,” he said.
“Just hoping the skills I’ve accumulated over the last 30 years can help.” He
also described himself as a “big proponent of the parks,” and voiced interest
in tightening up rules for landlords – particularly those who rent to college
students. Thomas, a physical therapist at St. Francis Hospital, said although
he isn’t a Cape Girardeau native, he and his family are now “deeply rooted and
integrated” in the city. “Perhaps I would say my strongest attribute I would
bring the council is my background in government relations,” Thomas said. Not
only has he worked with Congress and multiple committees, but he’s also worked
with various government agencies. The third candidate, Christina Mershon, said
she offers a “diverse” skill set developed in her position as director of
continuing education at Southeast Missouri State University. Mershon said that,
while improvements are being made on Town Plaza and other select areas across
town, there are still “major problems that need to be recognized.” “Last week,
guys, we had a shooting there. It kind of concerns me that no one is mentioning
violence and some of the systemic problems. That’s heavy on my brain and my
heart,” she said. “Because while we go forward and we’re really making strides,
we’ve got to figure out what’s going on in the underpinning to address that stuff.”
She likened the potential to run to a “dating situation” – she might not run
for the ward seat after her time as replacement would expire. She wants to see
how well the position works for her. Ward 3 was made available when the former
representative Victor Gunn resigned on July 8th.)

Bruno – W.J. Kennedy https://dupagepolicyjournal.com/stories/512815817-past-incident-with-a-black-student-haunting-d41-board-president-robert-bruno (FROM THE ARTICLE: Some
concerned Glen Ellyn residents are questioning what D41 board president Robert
Bruno, 64, is hiding about his past as a high school social studies teacher in
New Jersey. Back in 1986, Bruno was not rehired by the Westfield School
District in Jersey for reasons that included “an incident with a black
student,” “the man himself,” and “lack of professionalism,” the Westfield
Leader newspaper reported at the time. Recent online conversations surrounding
the June 5, 1986 article on a neighborhood chat site, Glen Ellyn Forum, caught
the attention of village resident Jeff Cooper; he challenged Bruno during the
public comment period at the July 15 school board meeting. “The newspaper
didn’t go into any details about the incident, so I told him we need clarity on
this,” Cooper told the DuPage Policy Journal. “We need to know what happened.”
Cooper also asked Bruno if he told the University of Illinois, where he is
currently a professor of labor and employment relations, about the incident
when the university was considering hiring him. He then asked Bruno to step
down as president of the board until it becomes clear what happened.)
