CHICAGO MAGAZINE
— Bruce Rauner’s Approval Numbers Are In Freefall  His latest numbers are brutal, even compared to last year. Any silver lining for him? Madigan’s even more unpopular. – WHET MOSER  (DIERSEN: What are your approval numbers in your precinct, in your municipality, in your township/ward, in your county, and in Illinois?  From what I see, those who have the most religious, government, political, and/or financial clout in your precinct, in your municipality, in your township/ward, in your county, and in Illinois can have a tremendous impact on your approval numbers.  Most people, if not virtually all people, base their opinions of people on what those who have the most clout say about them and treat them, especially what the say about them and how they treat them in public. For example, if the mayor of a municipality treats someone rudely during his state of the city address, many people, if not virtually all people in that municipality will then treat that person rudely. For example, if a township trustee treats someone rudely during his speech at a political meeting, many members, if not virtually all the members of that political organization will then treat that member rudely. For example, if a member of the Illinois Center Right Coalition Steering Committee treats someone rudely during that organization’s annual conventions, many members, if not virtually all the members of that organization will then treat that member rudely.  Who treats you rudely?  I should write a book about those in Wheaton, in Glen Ellyn, in Milton Township, in DuPage County, and in Illinois who have treated me rudely since 2000. They would love it. They know that my policy has been to forgive those who trespass against me.  They have taken advantage of that policy and they are gambling that I will not abandon that policy.)

Of course, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have always been beyond furious about that. My non-Democrat critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes in Wheaton, in Glen Ellyn, in Milton Township, in DuPage County, and in Illinois have not and will not seek a job with the federal government a) because the pay and benefits are terrible, b) because the advancement opportunities are terrible, c) because they lack required education, work experience, professional certifications, and/or professional licenses, d) because they cannot pass an employment examination, e) because they cannot pass a background investigation, f) because they cannot pass a physical examination, g) because they cannot take the demonization, denigration, and condemnation that comes with being a federal employee or federal retiree, and/or h) because they are Republican, White, male, older, and/or non-veteran and they know that the federal government discriminates against its employees who are Republican, White, male, older, and/or non-veteran.  Further, my non-Democrat critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes lack what it takes to be a wage earner for any length of time.

EDITOR & PUBLISHER
— Business of News: Fake News is a Golden Opportunity For Journalists – Tim Gallagher  (DIERSEN: Since 2000, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have always demonized, denigrated, and condemned my qualifications to serve as your GOPUSA Illinois Editor. They belittle and badmouth the experience that I gained working as an analyst for GAO 1980-1997, the last 11 years of which at the GS-13 Step 1-10 levels, currently $94,610-$122,991.  Much of GAO analysts do is very similar to what journalists do.)
http://www.editorandpublisher.com/columns/business-of-news-fake-news-is-a-golden-opportunity-for-journalists/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Fake news is the best thing that has ever happened to real journalism. I mean the kind of journalism that requires serious work. If you’ve ever spoken to a high school class or a civic group, then you know that the average citizen knows as much about gathering and reporting news as they know about brain surgery. The public does not understand how reporters and editors sift through potential stories, make decisions about what to cover (with disinterest for the partisan viewpoints), and then begin the process of accumulating information, discarding some of it, challenging “proof” that sources offer, and finally choosing the words that will tell the story. The public knows nothing of the editing process—how a good editor can approach a news article submitted by a reporter with skepticism. How—finally—a copy editor reads the article one more time and summarizes the 800 words into six-to-10 words that fit in the headline space.)

Should I sue them again?)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Father Michael Pfleger on Tuesday used a provocative reference to the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks to exhort Chicago businesses to open their doors to 58,000 disconnected young people who are neither working nor in school. “Nineteen people on 9/11 terrorized this nation. Nineteen people shut this nation down. Imagine what we in this room could do if we were as committed as they were,” Pfleger told an audience of movers-and-shakers including Mayor Rahm Emanuel during the Opportunity Youth Summit at the Chicago Cultural Center hosted by Thrive Chicago. “We have learned how to save the whales. We’ve learned how to save the dolphins. We’ve learned how to save the exotic birds. Well damn it, it’s time to learn how to save our children.”)

They certainly do not want to hire me because of the aforesaid and because I oppose race based preference giving, gender based preference giving, age discrimination, and retaliation for complaining about the aforesaid.)
http://www.theblaze.com/news/2017/03/14/youre-a-bigot-ex-nc-governor-says-bathroom-law-backlash-has-made-it-hard-to-find-a-job/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Former North Carolina Gov. Pat McCrory, a Republican, says the backlash over his state’s so-called “bathroom law” has made it tough for him to find work since he left public office. The controversial “bathroom law,” or House Bill 2, requires individuals to use the restroom that correlates with their biological sex as it is written on their birth certificate. Following the law’s passage, McCrory, who supported the bill, was attacked as anti-LGBT and several performers and sports teams cancelled their events in the state. In an interview  last week with WORLD, McCrory said HB2 “has impacted me to this day, even after I left office. People are reluctant to hire me, because, ‘Oh my gosh, he’s a bigot’ — which is the last thing I am.” He told the Christian outlet that liberal groups opposing HB2 have damaged his reputation. “If you disagree with the politically correct thought police on this new definition of gender, you’re a bigot, you’re the worst of evil,” McCrory said. “It’s almost as if I broke a law.”)

FED SMITH
— Is the Federal Bureaucracy Facing a ‘Deep State’ Purge? – Michael Wald  (DIERSEN: To justify their wasting my federal career and forcing me to retire in 1997 when I was 49 years old, my Democrat GAO superiors could stress that in 1988, I became an active member in a class action lawsuit that charged GAO with reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation.  All my Democrat superiors could stress that I always a) opposed patronage, that is, political affiliation discrimination, b) reverse discrimination, c) age discrimination, and d) retaliation.  They could stress a) that I failed/refused to become a Democrat, b) that I was a non-veteran White male, c) that my wife had a good job, and d) that we gave up trying to have children, we did not adopt, and we did not become foster parents.  They could stress that I not make GS-13 (currently $94,610) by age 25, GS-14 (currently $111,801) by age 30, GS-15 (currently $131,508) by age 35, or Senior Executive Service (currently $161,900) by age 40.)
https://www.fedsmith.com/2017/03/13/is-the-federal-bureaucracy-facing-a-deep-state-purge/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Amid reports of leaks and insider fighting in the White House, there are more calls to find and eliminate “Deep State” Federal employees who may oppose President Trump’s plans. On Friday, Sean Hannity joined the chorus saying: “Deep-state Obama holdovers embedded like barnacles in the federal bureaucracy are hell-bent on destroying President Trump. It’s time for the Trump administration to purge these saboteurs.”)

— Now-fired Preet Bharara boasts of ‘absolute independence’ – AP (DIERSEN: How independent are you?  He who pays the piper calls the tunes. Far too many act as operatives or as dupes for whoever gives them the most money. Everyone involved in government, in politics, in media, in etc. should be required to disclose the amounts and sources of their income.  I get a $50,856 Civil Service Retirement System pension and $2,028 Social Security. As everyone knows, your critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes want to cut if not eliminate your income. My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes are beyond furious that they cannot cut/eliminate my income. However, they are working very had to cut/eliminate federal COLAs.  In 1997, my Democrat GAO superiors succeeded in eliminating my GS-13 Step 10 salary (currently $122,991/year) by forcing me to take their early retirement “offer.”  In 1980, they succeeded in forcing me to take an $18,847 pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO. In 1969, my Democrat Post Office superiors succeeded eliminating my GS-4 Step 3 salary (currently $16.60/hour) by forcing me to resign.)

— Editorial should have condemned protesters – Gerald Staraitis, Naperville
http://www.chicagotribune.com/suburbs/naperville-sun/ct-nvs-voice-letters-opinion-st-0312-20170311-story.html
(FROM THE LETTER: A recent editorial lauds the scores of elected local officials for meeting with constituents who may, from time to time, be upset. Nothing to disagree with that. So without indicating party affiliation, the Democrat House Representative used as a courageous example of attending a town meeting had no clue whether he could be facing an angry group. Really? So is the Naperville Sun thinking that the militant anti-Trump “Indivisible” crowd could have been planning to take over the town meeting? Using this example of being brave and taking the heat is not comparable. “Indivisible” was organized just after the November election by five young, elite, progressive, energetic communications experts with experience crafted in the Obama administration. They unite with the one specific purpose of creating mayhem at town meetings. Surely by now you have perused their battle cry in the pamphlet “Indivisible: A Practical Guide for Resisting the Trump Agenda,” 26 pages. It describes in detail how to organize, create the largest impression, enlist the aid of media, especially video to maximize the effect of their obstruction techniques. You know, similar to the obstruction techniques that elected and also paid Democratic congressional representatives use, boycotting legislative and committee meetings, engaging in sit-ins on the Senate floor, misinterpreting and misdirecting. Your editorial is your opinion, and it clearly lines up with this profound democratic militancy. Our representatives should have attended the meetings and taken the orchestrated abuse to collect their paychecks, if that is how you measure it. But nowhere do you suggest restraint on the part of the organizers’ zeal. Nowhere do you suggest that there is another side in this. And nowhere do you condemn the lockstep, hostile resistance displayed by the minority party.)

— BILL THAT COULD AFFECT GUN OWNERS’ DUE PROCESS TO BE HEARD IN SPRINGFIELD  (DIERSEN: Do you own a firearm?  I have owned firearms ever since I was in high school in the 1960s.  Who has “it in for you” in your municipality, in your township/ward, in your county, and in Illinois?  How much religious, government, political, and/or financial clout do they have to disarm you, that is, to take your FOID card and your firearms away from you?)
http://illinoisreview.typepad.com/illinoisreview/2017/03/bill-that-could-affect-gun-owners-due-process-to-be-heard-in-springfield.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE:  “Imagine if a family member or a police officer had it in for you. In the blink of an eye, you could be stripped of your rights without any due process, simply because someone accused you of something with absolutely no evidence to validate the claim…” That’s a scenario a bill scheduled to be heard next week in Illinois’ Senate Judiciary Committee would set up, Sons of Liberty Media is reporting. “Illinois State Senator Julie Morrison (D-29) has proposed a bill that would allow the government to confiscate firearms from gun owners without any due process,” the website says.  The proposal is SB 1291. While the Illinois State Rifle Association doesn’t sound an alert about SB 1291 on their website, the National Rifle Association called on Illinois members to contact their state lawmakers about the bill before the hearing was postponed to heard March 14th.  “SB 1291 would allow an individual’s family members or law enforcement to petition the court for an ex parte restraining order if they consider the individual to be a danger to themselves or others simply because the individual owns, possesses or purchases a firearm,” the NRA’s website explains. “According to the summary of the bill, an ex parte order would be issued by a judge based solely on a brief, unsubstantiated affidavit made by a petitioner and absent any input made by the individual on which the order is targeted.” If enacted, the NRA says, this SB 1291 would require the surrender of FOID cards, concealed carry licenses as well as the seizure of all firearms by law enforcement. “This legislation is ripe for abuse by individuals that disagree with the Second Amendment, and the mere insinuation that gun ownership makes you a danger to yourself or others is offensive and insulting,” the NRA says.)

— U-46 school board candidates debate ‘racism’ in curriculum – Madhu Krishnamurthy  (DIERSEN: Ever-increasingly, anti-Whites run organizations, companies, governments, and countries.  Ever-increasingly they demonize, denigrate, and condemn Whites.  Ever-increasingly, they blame Whites for all the problems that minorities have had, are having, and will have. Ever-increasingly, they make it clear that they want to get rid of Whites. Ever-increasingly, in fear of anti-Whites or wanting to curry favor with anti-Whites, more and more and more Whites become anti-White themselves.)
http://www.dailyherald.com/article/20170310/news/170319953/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Two of five candidates vying to lead the state’s second-largest school district say a newly adopted high school social studies curriculum promotes “racism against white males” at a forum Thursday. Incumbent board President Donna Smith of Hanover Park, and incumbent trustees Veronica Noland and Cody Holt, both of Elgin, face challengers Melissa Owens of Bartlett and Enoch Essendrop of Elgin for three 4-year term seats on the Elgin Area School District U-46 board April 4 hosted by the district’s Citizens’ Advisory Council. At a February school board meeting, Holt and board member Jeanette Ward voted against adoption of the new curriculum, which Ward said had a “pervasive liberal bias.” Ward quoted the following passage about discrimination from the textbook “Macgruder’s American Government”: “White Americans have been historically reluctant to yield to nonwhite Americans a full and equal place in the social, economic and political life of this nation. Over time, the principal targets of that ethnic prejudice have been African-Americans, Native Americans, Asian-Americans and Hispanic Americans. The white-male-dominated power structure has also been slow to recognize the claims of women to an equal place in American society.” She said it “smacks of racism against white males.” The curriculum was approved by a 5-2 board vote. Essendrop, 19, a student at Providence Baptist College in Elgin running on a similar platform as Holt, said he shared Ward’s perspective. “I can’t believe that we find ourselves in the 21st century still judging people by the color of their skin and not the content of their character,” he said, paraphrasing the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.’s “I Have a Dream” speech. “We need to stop putting people in different groups and admit that we are 100 percent Americans.” Noland, 50, an alumna of the district’s Hispanic Parent Leadership Institute elected to her first term in April 2013, rejected Ward’s notion. “I believe my fellow board member’s comments are actually quite racist,” she said. “I’m opposed to censorship of materials … you head down the road toward book burning and I am completely opposed to that.”  She added, it is wrong to impose a “narrow ideology” over an entire school district. Holt, 25, a 2010 graduate of Larkin High School elected in April 2015 to a 2-year unexpired term, said he would like to see the district adopt “curriculum that presents both sides of any issue, that way students can come to their own conclusions.” “Being able to send your child to a school that sets its own curriculum is where we need to go in the 21st century,” Holt said. Smith, 59, who has served on the board since 2001, said she voted for adopting the curriculum because it went through a process of evaluation. “It has been vetted by a lot of educators,” she said adding, anyone can find something offensive in any textbook. “I have the faith in our educators that they would take those textbooks and supplement them with other resources.” Owens, 48, chairwoman of the U-46 Citizens’ Advisory Council, said she agreed with the board’s decision on the curriculum as well as providing cultural competency training for teachers. “We have to recognize the fact that we have a minority-majority district,” she said adding such training allows teachers to recognize that “students see things through different filters based on their experiences.”)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Lt. Governor Evelyn Sanguinetti joined Chicago Bulls’ Jimmy Butler, Kellogg’s and No Kid Hungry for the “Give a Child a Breakfast” event in downtown Chicago to raise awareness about childhood hunger. “One in five kids in Illinois is hungry. This is an important issue to me because I know what it is like to grow up with food insecurity,” said Lieutenant Governor Evelyn Sanguinetti. “My mother had me when she was only 15, and my parents often had to choose between paying the rent and putting food on the table.” Lieutenant Governor Sanguinetti addressed a group of students from Marshall High School and talked about her own experiences. The students were invited to the “Give a Child a Breakfast” event by Kellogg’s, where they had breakfast, had the opportunity to meet the lieutenant governor and play basketball with Butler. “Child hunger is not an issue isolated to large cities – it is prevalent in all 102 counties in Illinois,” Lieutenant Governor Sanguinetti said. “Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. We want our kids to have access to a healthy breakfast so they can stay alert in the classroom and excel in school.”)

They continue to stress that I was a federal employee for almost 30 years, that the federal government wasted my career and forced me to retire in 1997 when I was 49 years old, that I have been a federal retiree for more than 19 years, that my Civil Service Retirement System pension is $50,856/year), that my wife and I have subsidized health, dental, and vision insurance for life (that subsidy is currently $17,288/year), that my wife and I are childless and petless, that we have lived in Wheaton only since 1978, that we never attended any schools in Wheaton, and that I am not a member of any church.  What negatives do your “rivals” use against you?)

HUFFINGTON POST
— It’s critical to think locally about resistance – Edwin Yohnka, Director of Communications and Public Policy at the ACLU of Illinois  (DIERSEN: As everyone knows, “Welcoming City” is code for “Sanctuary City,” that is, it is code for a city that says individuals, organizations, and companies that are members of the following groups are NOT WELCOME: Trump supporters, Protestants, conservatives, Republicans, Americans, Whites, males, older people, rich people, gun owners, German Americans, draft avoiders (except Bill Clinton), and/or those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time.)
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/its-critical-to-think-locally-about-resistance_us_58c02587e4b0a797c1d3978a
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Since the election, ACLU staff have heard one question more than any other: what can I do to protect fundamental freedoms threatened by policies from Washington? Our collective answer largely has been the same – stay informed, stay connected to groups like the ACLU and stay active. People are paying attention and making their voices heard. We hear reports every week about events being planned and executed across the state. People have been gathering and protesting each week in Bloomington-Normal and Evanston, using their voices to affect change in Peoria and Springfield. We see the wave of activism spreading from Rockford to Carbondale, touching everywhere in between. It is critical to recall that many of the issues we are facing at the state and federal level also are playing out at the local level. And, because there are so many of these issues happening locally throughout the state, we rely on members and activists to get involved and stay vigilant. And, there is so much happening at the local level that deserves your attention. Many communities are considering resolutions or ordinances that designate the municipality as a “welcoming city.” Oak Park adopted one of the best such resolutions earlier this year. And, in the western part of Illinois, nearly 100 residents showed up at Galena’s City Council meeting just last week to support an effort to advance a welcoming city resolution. Perhaps this is something that you and others in your local community can initiate. Even if you never get to a successful local vote, it sparks discussion and debate about important and critical issues. Another local activity is to find out what role your municipal police force will play in immigration enforcement. Local matters here as well. Last month, at a League of Women’s Voters forum in Naperville, the community’s police chief made clear that his officers do not assist ICE in immigration enforcement actions. If your community does not have a current policy, they might feel compelled to adopt a non-participation program based on a group of residents raising the question. Local activity also is going to matter is in the area of protecting students who are transgender, and their ability to use the appropriate restroom and locker room – consistent with their gender identity. This will be a key issue in the school board elections in at least two suburban school districts – U46 and D211 – in the ballot set for Tuesday, April 4th. If you live in these school districts – or any other – find out what the candidates think about these issues; a few votes will decide local school board races. We all need to stay tuned to the policies coming from Washington and Springfield. Often, however, the most direct action we can take is on the local level. We must not miss that opportunity to speak out and be heard. There are many people in your community waiting to hear from you about these issues – keep speaking out!)

NAPERVILLE COMMUNITY TELEVISION
— Council Moves to Make Naperville a “Welcoming City”  (DIERSEN: As everyone knows, “Welcoming City” is code for “Sanctuary City,” that is, it is code for a city that says individuals, organizations, and companies that are members of the following groups are NOT WELCOME: Trump supporters, Protestants, conservatives, Republicans, Americans, Whites, males, older people, rich people, gun owners, German Americans, draft avoiders (except Bill Clinton), and/or those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time.)
http://www.nctv17.com/council-moves-to-make-naperville-a-welcoming-city/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: At the most recent City Council meeting, Councilwoman Becky Anderson directed staff to write up a resolution declaring that Naperville is welcoming to everyone regardless of religion, race or sexual orientation. This after residents spoke during public forum at recent meetings, requesting that the council take some official action to help all feel welcomed in our town. “We make sure that everyone is accepted within our city boundaries who are residents and who are visitors. I think there are a lot of people with the rhetoric that’s going around right now in the country, there are a lot of people of the Muslim faith who are frightened,” said Councilwoman Anderson. The proposed resolution, which was backed by many council members, would not be considered a legally binding ordinance, but more of a statement that says the city serves everyone equally.)

While I worked for the federal government for almost 30 years, I ALWAYS complied with all their Affirmative Action, Diversity, and Inclusion mandates, that is, I always gave preference to my superiors, to my supervisors, to my coworkers, and to my subordinates who were Democrat, minority, female, and/or younger.  However, I complained about political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation, and that is why they wasted my career and forced me to retire in 1997 when I was 49 years old.)

http://www.sj-r.com/news/20170307/senate-frustrated-by-rauner-agencies-budget-cut-silence
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Gov. Bruce Rauner’s administration is frustrating state senators by refusing to answer questions about where agencies could tighten their belts. Several Senate committees grilled agency directors Tuesday about spending cuts to deal with a multibillion-dollar deficit. The Democratic-controlled committees teamed up to put Rauner on the spot. They blame him for scuttling the Senate’s negotiated budget compromise last week.)
