August 12 Morning Edition

CYBER CIVICS
— Responsibilities of U.S. Citizens (DIERSEN: In my opinion, each and every voter in Wheaton, and especially, each and every voter in Wheaton’s West District and each and every Precinct Committeeman in the district should a) learn everything that they can about the 10 candidates who are seeking to be appointed to fill Wheaton’s West District City Council vacancy, b) analyze that information, c) decide who they believe the best candidate would be and why, and d) communicate that to Wheaton’s City Council by email at allcouncil@wheaton.il.us.)
http://www.civics.ks.gov/kansas/citizenship/responsibilities-of-citizens.html
(FROM THE POSTING: Staying informed. Citizens have the responsibility to stay informed of the issues affecting their communities, as well as national and international issues, and to be active in the civic processes. This includes being well informed about the issues and candidates before voting in an election, getting involved in a political campaign or running for public office, or using their right to address the government through activism.)

DAILY HERALD
— AUGUST 9, 2019 FLASHBACK: 10 want West District seat on Wheaton City Council – Katlyn Smith (DIERSEN: The Daily Herald has published some information about 5 of the candidates (David Diersen, Robert McNeily, Lynn Robbins, Mark Kmiecik, and Khizar Jafri), but what about the other 5: Nancy Harding, Edward Ahern, Jeffrey Antonelli, Angela Blatner, and Krista Selvey? In my opinion, the Daily Herald should obtain and publish at least the following information about all 10 candidates: How long they have lived in Wheaton, how long they have lived in Wheaton’s West District, their work experience, their education, their professional certifications and licenses, their memberships in professional associations, why they want to be appointed to fill the vacancy, what they believe the three most important issues are that Wheaton needs to address in the next 2 years and how those issues those issues should be addressed, their political affiliation and activities, their civic activities, if they would vote for or against banning the sale of pot in Wheaton, what their position is on Wheaton’s Roosevelt Road corridor, if they would vote for or against requiring employers in Wheaton to use E-Verify, and what they have done that demonstrates they can carry out typical city council functions.)
https://www.dailyherald.com/news/20190809/10-want-west-district-seat-on-wheaton-city-council
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Diersen is the founder of the daily newsletter Gopillinois.com. McNeily lost his bid for the West District seat in 2016 against incumbent Todd Scalzo. According to his LinkedIn page, he is the Midwest regional manager of Turning Point USA, a conservative group founded by Wheeling High School alum Charlie Kirk for college and high school students. Robbins, a former Illinois Park and Recreation Association board member, also ran unsuccessfully against Scalzo for the West District seat in 2016. Kmiecik finished third in another three-way race for the seat in 2009. Jafri, a finance and accounting consultant, lost to Tim Elliott for a District 4 spot on the DuPage County Board in 2016. The Democrat was seeking his first elected office at the time.)

Will the aforesaid newspapers a) conduct candidate forums and/or b) endorse one of those 10 candidates? What endorsement criteria will they use?)
https://www.news-press.com/story/opinion/2018/06/22/news-press-vet-candidates-dissect-issues-but-stop-endorsing/722444002/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Two 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.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Rosenberg resident Delia Villarreal said citizens should have the right to express themselves. “You were voted (on council) to hear the concerns (of the people),” she said. “It’s the price you have to pay. You asked to run for city council. We got you up there. If you don’t like it, then you shouldn’t run for city council.”)

https://www.inc.com/minda-zetlin/millennials-gen-z-lie-on-resumes-more-than-baby-boomers.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: But apparently, the younger you are, the likelier you are to be untruthful, at least when applying for a job. Eleven percent of Millennials said they had lied on their résumés, and 14 percent of Gen Z respondents said they’d done it. Only 2 percent of Baby Boomers said they’d ever lied on a résumé. And they don’t feel bad about it. While 54 percent of men and 42 percent of women who lied in all age groups felt guilty about doing so, only 27 percent of Millennials did. The difference may be changing attitudes about employment and employers.)

ASSOCIATION FOR TALENT DEVELOPMENT
— Don’t Make Risky Assumptions – Ken O’Quinn (DIERSEN: What assumptions do you make about those who read what you write? The only legitimate reason to read GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails is to get information to help defend and advance conservative Republican principles. Nevertheless, I have always been fully aware that some read GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails to get information to help them dismiss, discredit, belittle, badmouth, intimidate, insult, demonize, denigrate, and/or condemn me. I should write a book those who read GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails to get information to help them dismiss, discredit, belittle, badmouth, intimidate, insult, demonize, denigrate, and/or condemn me.)

https://www.standardmedia.co.ke/lifestyle/article/2001334657/do-you-need-a-higher-degree-or-is-work-experience-sufficient
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Employers are lured by your work experience, but you must have the relevant experience to appeal to them more. Work experience should highly relate with the job that you are looking for. Your experience has to show some aspect of growth. You are more marketable when there are quantifiable results from the time and effort you put into work.)

I would focus on those who read my GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails, but who a) fail/refuse to share relevant information with me and/or b) fail/refuse to return my phone calls. I would focus on those who dismiss me, discredit me, belittle me, badmouth me, intimidate me, insult me, demonize me, denigrate me, and/or condemn me. I would focus on those who ascribe evil motive and/or bad judgment to everything that I do or that I do not do. I would focus on those who blame me for their problems, for your problems, for my problems, and for everyone’s problems. I would focus on those who blame me for all the losses that Republicans have suffered in Illinois since 2000. I would focus on those who forced me to sue them. I would focus on those who focus on destroying those like me who they cannot manipulate/dominate. I would focus on those who claim to be religious, conservative, and/or Republican, but who do not talk and/or act like they are religious, conservative, and/or Republican. I would focus on those who have lots of religious, government, political, and/or financial clout in Wheaton, Glen Ellyn, Milton Township, DuPage County, and/or Illinois, their operatives, and their dupes.)

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 Auditor, or Forensic Accountant like I had done, etc. Instead of me, my Democrat GAO superiors assigned to audits of IRS their employees who were Democrat, minority, female, younger than me, disabled, and/or veteran.)

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 veteran who would take the job. The Post Office hired me in 1966 because it could not find a qualified Democrat, minority, female, or veteran who would take the job.)

Dave Diersen, your GOPUSA Illinois Editor since 2000, has not sought or received any money and will not seek or accept any money a) from the State of Illinois, DuPage County, Milton Township, Glen Ellyn, Wheaton, or any other government entity or b) from the Illinois Republican Party, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, Milton Township Republican Central Committee, or any other political organization for what I do as your GOPUSA ILLINOIS Editor.

(FROM THE ARTICLE: An 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.)

— Home DNA Tests Can Disrupt Family Dynamics. Here’s How More people are taking home DNA tests to learn about their background. For some, the results can be not only unexpected, but can radically change their lives. – Amy Dockser 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 4-F, my father would have fought the Germans during WWII. If DNA information had been available back when I worked for the federal government, I would have stressed that. According to http://dna.ancestry.com, my ancestry is 33% Europe West, 28% Scandinavia, 24% Great Britain, 11% Ireland, 2% Europe East, 1% Finland/Northwest Russia, and 1% Italy/Greece.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Eight candidates are running for three seats on the West Haven City Council and growth in the rapidly expanding city and how to manage it are two key focuses. Two incumbents are among the candidates, Lacy Richards and Stephanie Carlson. The other hopefuls are Nina Morse, Carrie Call, Rob Higginson, David Smith, Russell Erickson and Kim Dixon. Primary voting via mail is underway while in-person voting is set for Aug. 13. That balloting will narrow the list of candidates to the top six vote getters. Then they, like the primary winners in the other city council and mayoral races around Weber County, face off in the Nov. 5 general election. Meantime, here’s some info on the West Haven candidates, pulling from statements they supplied to the Utah Lieutenant Governor’s Office and the Standard-Examiner as well as their own campaign material.)

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.)

August 7 Morning Edition

GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— Ten have applied to be appointed to fill Wheaton’s West District City Council vacancy. If your representative on your city council resigned, what would you want the process to fill the vacancy to include? I want the city to issue a press release each time it receives an application to fill a vacancy. Those press releases should not only disclose the applicant’s name, but the completed application, resume, and all the documents that were submitted. Residents should have the right to know not only the applicants’ names, but a) how long they have lived in the city and in the district, b) why they want to be appointed to fill the vacancy, c) what they believe the most important issues are that the city needs to address, d) what their opinion is on how those issues could be addressed, e) what their work experience is, f) what their education is, g) what professional certifications and licenses are, and h) what experience do they have carrying out typical city council functions: Review and approve the annual budget; Establish long- and short-term objectives and priorities; Oversee performance of the local public employees; Oversee effectiveness of programs; Establish tax rates; Enter into legal contracts; Borrow funds; Pass ordinances and resolutions; Modify the city’s charter; Regulate land use through zoning laws; Regulate business activity through licensing and regulations; Regulate public health and safety; Exercise the power of eminent domain; Communicate policies and programs to residents; Respond to constituent needs and complaints; and Represent the community to other levels of government. (SEE: https://www.nlc.org/city-councils) There should be at least one well-publicized candidate forum before an appointment is made. Because aforesaid has not happened, and apparently will not happen, for Wheaton’s West District City Council vacancy, yesterday, I filed my application, and today, I filed a Freedom of Information Act request for all the documents that applicants have filed. Needless-to-say, I want to know if the candidates would vote for or against banning the sale of pot in Wheaton. – Dave Diersen

CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— FRONT PAGE TOP OF FOLD WITH BIG COLOR PICTURE IN THE NAPERVILLE SUN: DuPage committee starts discussion on allowing or banning recreational pot sales in unincorporated areas – ALICIA FABBRE (DIERSEN: At DuPage County’s last board meeting, I called for DuPage County to be the first country in Illinois to ban the sale of pot. I will continue to do that at future board meetings. Please join me.)
https://www.chicagotribune.com/suburbs/naperville-sun/ct-nvs-dupage-board-recreational-pot-st-0807-20190806-6cxgufxut5d2jb2cyjkkprv4dy-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Committee members will continue discussion of the issue on Aug. 20 and could bring a recommendation to the full county board as early as the board’s Sept. 10 meeting. Currently, DuPage County zoning follows state law for medical marijuana facilities. Under those rules, cannabis cultivation centers must be located at least 2,500 feet from schools, group homes and residential areas and dispensaries cannot be closer than 1,000 feet to the same sites. If the same standards were used, there likely would be no place to locate a dispensary or cultivation center in any area under the county’s jurisdiction, said Sam Tornatore, who heads the board’s development committee. “If we decided to mirror current zoning, then essentially it’s game over,” said Tornatore, a Roselle Republican. He and others noted the county would have to adopt less restrictive rules than those for medical marijuana in order to allow dispensaries or cultivation centers in unincorporated areas. State law leaves it to municipalities and counties to decide if they want to put any restrictions in place for recreational marijuana businesses, officials said. “The notion of granting easier access to recreational marijuana than to medical marijuana makes no sense,” said board member Robert Larsen, a Wheaton Republican.)

http://www.spokesman.com/stories/2019/aug/06/beggs-and-wendle-in-lead-for-spokane-city-council-/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The race for City Council president pitted two sitting members of the council against Wendle, who despite her lack of resume in city politics was able to raise substantial campaign funds. Beggs, an attorney with a background in social justice who has represented the South Hill on the council since 2016, raced to an early lead with 10,718 votes. Wendle finished the night in second place with 9,349 votes. Mike Fagan, who has earned a reputation as the council’s most conservative member, sought a promotion after two terms representing the northeast district but trailed Beggs and Wendle with 8,093. More ballots will be counted on Wednesday. The race also featured Phillip Tyler, former president of the Spokane chapter of the NAACP, who has been dogged by accusations of abuse by multiple ex-wives. He came in a distant fourth. Beggs said he was confident heading into Tuesday’s election that he would come out on top.)

During his time representing the predominantly rural district, Medvigy has taken conservative positions on taxes and spending. Under the county charter, only residents of that district will vote in that race.)

GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— At its Monday August 5, 2019 meeting, Wheaton’s City Council unanimously passed a resolution setting August 26 as the public hearing date concerning a draft zoning ordinance amendment that would prohibit cannabis business establishments in Wheaton. B.J. Slinger and I spoke in favor of banning the sale of pot in Wheaton. Roosevelt Road rezoning study critic Elizabeth Hain spoke in favor of selling pot in Wheaton. Roosevelt Road rezoning study critic Martha Bradley called for Wheaton to hold off on taking action on the study until the West District vacancy is filled. So far, 31 have requested applications to be appointed to fill the West District vacancy, 4 completed applications have been received, and one incomplete application has been received. 5:00 PM today, Tuesday, August 6, 2019, is the deadline for filing an application. I am disappointed a) that the 5 applicants have not publicly announced their candidacy and b) that Wheaton has not released their names. If appointed, will they vote for or against selling pot in Wheaton? Because of the aforesaid uncertainty, I will be filing by 5:00 PM. – Dave Diersen

(FROM THE ARTICLE: During her reign as president her senior year, the Catalyst Club lobbied in Springfield and before the Buffalo Grove village board, among others, against the use of recreational marijuana. “As president, my focus was internal, making sure that we were strong as a group,” Dora says. “A drug-free coalition isn’t the most popular group in the school, so I wanted to make sure everyone knew why we were making the choices that we were making, and that we could communicate that to the rest of the school.”)

— Biden: Trump ‘using the language’ of ‘white nationalists’ (DIERSEN: Ever-increasingly, Democrats promote hatred against not only Trump, but against anyone who does not share their hatred of Trump. Ever-increasingly, Democrats want Republicans to accept responsibility for gun violence and to apologize for gun violence.)
https://foxillinois.com/news/nation-world/biden-would-push-a-buyback-program-for-assault-style-weapons
(FROM THE ARTICLE: “Look at the way he talks about Muslims. Look at the way he talks about immigrants. Look at the way he talks about people of color,” Biden told CNN. “He talks about them almost in subhuman terms.” That, Biden said, coaxes white supremacists from the shadows of American society. “This is pure and simple white nationalist terrorism,” Biden said, adding that he supports his support for adopting a federal domestic terrorism law, a move that could give the Justice Department more avenues to investigate and prosecute certain acts. Trump on Monday called on the nation to condemn white nationalism, but he didn’t apologize for his incendiary rhetoric on race, from referring to illegal immigration as an “invasion” to his recent Twitter attacks on black members of Congress.)

https://www.nprillinois.org/post/do-something-calls-ring-out-after-mass-shootings-el-paso-and-dayton#stream/0
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The announcement came in a late afternoon news conference in which officials released the names of the El Paso shooting victims. They range in age from 15 to 90. There are 22 victims — 12 are male and 10 are female. Thirteen are listed as U.S. citizens, seven are Mexican and one is German. According to the list provided by the police, one person is ‘undetermined.’ Mexican authorities also say the number of Mexican victims is eight. El Paso Police Chief Greg Allen said the suspect in Saturday’s shooting purchased his gun — a 7.62 caliber rifle — legally “near his hometown in Allen” [Texas] and drove 10 to 11 hours to El Paso. He said the suspect has been cooperative with investigators, adding, “He volunteered most of the evidence that we’re able to utilize at this time.” Allen said the suspect “appears to be in a state of shock and confusion.” Mayor Margo, a Republican, acknowledged some of the tensions surrounding the planned visit by Trump.)
