— Reporters Should Press Presidential Candidate Bill De Blasio On ‘Toxic Whiteness’ New York City is being sued for discriminating against white educators under Bill de Blasio’s watch. Will the white mayor defend this discrimination? – David Marcus (DIERSEN: I should write a book about those who a) promote patronage, b) promote political affiliation discrimination, c) promote reverse discrimination, d) promote age discrimination, and/or e) promote retaliation for opposing the aforesaid. I would focus on those who paint/painted themselves as being religious, conservative, and/or Republican in Wheaton, Glen Ellyn, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois who have/had lots of religious, government, political, and/or financial clout. The aforesaid completely agree with, if not orchestrated, all the adverse actions that the Post Office, IRS, GAO, Milton Township Republican Central Committee, American Association of Political Consultants Midwest Chapter, Illinois Center Right Coalition, Wheaton Chamber of Commerce, and TAPROOT Republicans took against me. Many of the aforesaid also promote religious discrimination and national origin discrimination.)

Previously, they had a) given me unfair performance expectations and appraisals, b) always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes, c) not promoted me beyond GS-13, d) gotten rid of my mentor in 1987, e) kept me off audits of IRS for all but 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for GAO, and f) forced me to take a $19,568 (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980.)

CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— A writer comes home to ever-changing South Shore to find the middle class disappearing – Christopher Borrelli (DIERSEN: How has your precinct changed over the past 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35+ years? I should write a book on how my DuPage County Milton Township Precinct 9 in Wheaton has changed since my wife and I had our home built at 915 Cove Court in 1984. From what I see, tragically, 4 out 5 times that a home is sold, it goes from conservative Republican to liberal Democrat. Ever-increasingly, liberal Democrats see DuPage County, Milton Township, and Wheaton a) as moving to the left and b) being welcoming safe places for them. Ever-increasingly, they see DuPage County, Milton Township, and Wheaton leaders failing/refusing to defend/advance the traditional family, right to life, immigration, Second Amendment, illegal drugs, and equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) planks in the Illinois Republican Party (IRP) platform and in the Republican Party platform. In my precinct, they see how the IRP, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Milton Township Republican Central Committee treat conservative Republicans like me.)

Since 1984, I have spent hundreds of hours and thousands of dollars for my home at 915 Cove Court in Wheaton a) making lot drainage improvements including installing French drains and storm sewer inlets, b) paying for an overhead sewer system, c) paying to have all nine of the home’s downspouts directly connected to the city storm sewer system, d) patching long wide cracks in the basement floor, e) having the home’s exterior footing tiles cleaned out, f) properly connecting 6″ and 4″ drainage tile lines from uphill properties to the city storm sewer system, g) installing battery backup sump pumps, h) etc. The builder a) put steel reinforcement rods in the foundation walls to compensate for cracked foundation footings and b) installed interior footing tiles.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: A week before the maggots hatched, raw sewage gushed into Lori Burns’ basement for the sixth time in a decade. Her brick bungalow in the Chatham neighborhood was among thousands of Chicago homes swamped by another rainstorm that overwhelmed the city’s aging sewer system. This particular downpour ended up as one of the worst on record. Two months’ worth of rain fell in two days during April 2013 — a storm marked by geysers of human waste bursting out of manholes, and a torrent of sewage and runoff surging through the Chicago River into Lake Michigan.)
— A new bill aims to force Illinois’ largely white, male corporate boards to diversify. Some say it’s unconstitutional. – Corilyn Shropshire (DIERSEN: While I worked for the federal government for almost 30 years, Democrat politicians forced my Democrat superiors to use Affirmative Action, Diversity, Inclusion, up-or-out, and budget cuts a) to hire, retain, and promote young Democrat minorities and young Democrat females and b) to make way for them by getting rid of their employees who were Republican, White, male, and/or non-veteran who they had not promoted to GS-13 (currently $98,198) by age 25, GS-14 (currently $116,040) by age 30, GS-15 (currently $136,495) by age 35, and Senior Executive Service (currently $165,500) by age 40.)

HERALD & REVIEW
— Decatur collected $6 million from video gambling. One city official says ‘this is not what we bargained for.’ – JAYLYN COOK
https://herald-review.com/news/local/govt-and-politics/decatur-collected-million-from-video-gambling-one-city-official-says/article_0cccbb64-0826-58fd-aa08-d378db8ee7c3.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Anita Bedell, executive director of Illinois Church Action on Alcohol and Addiction Problems, said there have been successful attempts by municipalities to oppose or overturn the presence of video gambling in Illinois. An example she referenced happened in Forest Park, which voted to outlaw video gaming in November after initially allowing it in the community . . .Bedell said the data surrounding losses is a sign that people are addicted to the gambling and play several times a day with no return on investment. The National Council on Problem Gambling said two million, or 1%, of adults in the United States are estimated to meet criteria for pathological gambling in a given year. Another four to six million adults would be considered problem gamblers, meaning they don’t meet the full diagnostic criteria for pathological gambling, but meet one or more of the criteria and are experiencing problems due to their gambling behavior. The NCPG also said most adults who choose to gamble are able to do so responsibly. Bedell said it’s tough for those addicted to gambling in Illinois to find the support they need. “The state has very little money for treatment and prevention,” she said. “A lot of the times what people have are Gamblers Anonymous meetings. They have quite a few in northern Illinois, but in central, it’s sparse.” Bedell said the prevalence of video gaming machines in places like restaurants, grocery stores and other venues has taken the need for visiting a casino away from people and allowed them to “gamble more and lose more.” Whobrey said he notices the effect gambling has on some people. He calls the machines at the VFW post a “necessary evil” because they provide a financial boost, but can also drive people to spend money that they may not have. “Some people come here, don’t buy a thing and spend it on gaming,” he said. “But the money helps us provide services for the veterans … It’s kept here in Decatur. That’s a big thing.”)

WASHINGTON EXAMINER
— This is a great time to be a working mother – Patrice Onwuka (DIERSEN: When you were young, did your mother stay home and raise you? My outstanding mother did. Since the 1940s, because my mother stayed home and raised me, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have demonized me, denigrated me, and condemned me as having been born with a silver spoon in my mouth and as having always been undeservedly privileged and filthy rich. In my defense, neither of my outstanding parents attended college, my mother was raised on a farm and never attended high school, my father fought type 1 diabetes from age 14, and he was the first of his ancestors to earn a high school diploma. To pay our family’s bills, he almost always worked second jobs including playing music, delivering eggs, and working in a fast food restaurant. He did not buy a new car until he was 45 in 1967 and it was a bottom of the line 2-door Chevy with almost no options.)

If more than 20 candidates qualify for the debate, the party said candidates who meet both criteria will be given priority on the debate stages.

WATERTOWN DAILY TIMES
— Why are some people down on Joe Biden? – Ed Rogers (DIERSEN: If there are people who are down on you and down on those who share your demographics, why is that? My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes hint/imply/argue/shout that the more of the following that you are, the more unpopular that you are: Trump supporter, Protestant, conservative, patriotic, Republican, American, White, male, older, rich, gun owner, German American, draft avoider, and/or if your ancestors have been in America for a long time. The more of the aforesaid that you are, the more that Democrats and Democrat plants, Libertarians and Libertarian plants, Greens and Green plants, and RINOs flush you down their toilets.)
https://www.watertowndailytimes.com/opinion/why-are-some-people-down-on-joe-biden-20190512
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Today, some on the left are suggesting that “electability” is somehow a dog whistle for proponents of the white patriarchy in much the same way that supporters of Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., called “likability” an unfair barrier at the beginning of this year. “Metrics like authenticity and likability and electability are just code that we use against candidates who are not like what we are used to,” a spokeswoman for Emily’s List told Vox in March.)

LEXINGTON DISPATCH
— Columnists who divide don’t deserve platform – Steve Buckley, Elon
https://www.the-dispatch.com/opinion/20190512/letter-columnists-who-divide-dont-deserve-platform
(FROM THE LETTER: Editor, in your recent Sunday column you wrote, “what I don’t like is politicians who strive to divide their constituents.” What is your position on newspapers that strive to divide their readers? Syndicated columnist Leonard Pitts wrote in the Times-News, “anyone who voted for Trump is a racist and misogynist.” I’d say that is fairly divisive and also inaccurate. Local columnist Jan Fuller, the chaplain at Elon University, wrote recently that all white gun owners are racists. She neglected to mention black gun owners. I have no idea how she pigeonholes them. Sweeping generalizations are never right. Those made by these columnists are very divisive and do not deserve a public platform. Their inclusion in the Times-News helps to divide your readers.)

My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes focus on demonizing, denigrating, and condemning me and my GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails. I should write a book about them.

EURASIA REVIEW
— Sri Lanka Government Begins Paying Compensations For Easter Sunday Terror Victims (DIERSEN: How soon will the Democrats in your municipality, in your township/ward, in your county, in Illinois, and in America officially establish reparations offices like Sri Lanka has? Ever-increasingly, in America, since the Civil War, the federal government has served as a reparations office. Ever-increasingly, it promotes Affirmative Action, Diversity, and Inclusion.) 
https://www.eurasiareview.com/12052019-sri-lanka-government-begins-paying-compensations-for-easter-sunday-terror-victims/

(FROM THE ARTICLE: The families of 103 victims killed in the Easter Sunday bombings on April 21 have received Reparations  47 million in compensations to date, Sri Lanka’s Secretary of the National Policies, Economic Affairs, Resettlement and Rehabilitation, Northern Province Development and Youth Affairs Ministry, V. Sivagnanasothy said. The ministry’s Office for Reparations rushed through compensations for death victims based on reports from Divisional Secretaries, Judicial Medical Officers and Coroners, Sivagnanasothy said. What the families of the deceased victims have received is a partial payment, not the full compensation payment, which is Rs 1 million in total, Sivagnanasothy said. The Office for Reparations expects to pay out full compensation claims after it has received relevant death certificates of the victims. Most families of deceased victims have yet to furnish death certificates for the persons declared killed in the bombings, Sivagnanasothy said. The ministry has received 266 cases claiming death compensations and 407 cases claiming compensations for injuries. Sivagnanasothy said those who suffered injuries will be paid up to Rs500,000 depending on the nature, the disability based on a medical certificate issued by a government medical offers, and also on loss of income suffered due to injuries.)

John said: “In urban areas, and if you’re young and in college, or just out of college and in your 20s, everything you said is true.” But get married, have a baby and move to the suburbs, he said, and “everything you said is false.”)

https://www.chicagotribune.com/politics/ct-met-lightfoot-pension-emanuel-dealmaking-rnc-20190509-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Ronna McDaniel, head of the Republican National Committee, will be in Chicago June 6 for a fundraising luncheon, according to an invitation sent out by the Illinois Republican Party and obtained by the Tribune. Ticket prices for the state party fundraiser range from $150 to a $5,000 sponsorship. The event is being hosted by Cubs co-owner and RNC Finance Chair Todd Ricketts, Demetra DeMonte, an RNC National Committeewoman, Richard Porter, an RNC Committeeman and Tim Schneider, chair of the state Republican party. Honorary co-chairs include: Illinois House Republican Leader Jim Durkin, Illinois Senate Republican Leader Bill Brady and members of Illinois’ Republican Congressional delegation including U.S. Rep. Mike Bost, Murphysboro, U.S. Rep. Rodney Davis, of Taylorsville, U.S. Rep. Adam Kinzinger, of Channahon, U.S. Rep. Darin Lahood, of Peoria, and U.S. Rep. John Shimkus, of Collinsville. In Illinois, the GOP has its work cut out for it after the mid-terms saw a blue wave sweep Democrats into suburban and exurban Republican strongholds. Local congressional races offer a closer look: Democrats Lauren Underwood of Naperville unseated GOP incumbent U.S. Rep. Randy Hultgren while Sean Casten, of Downers Grove, beat longtime congressman Peter Roskam.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: The White House hasn’t spelled out how it will make these decisions, raising concerns about arbitrary or selective decisions.

The White House last year revoked the hard pass of CNN reporter Jim Acosta after Acosta engaged in a heated exchange with Trump during a White House news briefing. After a brief legal fight, a federal court ordered the White House to restore Acosta’s access. The court said Acosta’s due-process rights had been violated because the White House had never established rules and procedures for revoking a credential. But Sanders said the new policy was unrelated to Acosta’s case. Acosta continues to hold a hard pass. In an opinion piece published Wednesday, Post columnist Dana Milbank wrote that he was denied a hard pass, although the paper’s reporters who cover the White House were all granted exemptions. “The White House press office granted exceptions to the [others], but not to me,” he wrote. “I strongly suspect it’s because I’m a Trump critic. The move is perfectly in line with Trump’s banning of certain news organizations, including The Post, from his campaign events, and his threats to revoke White House credentials of journalists he doesn’t like.” The White House Correspondents’ Association, which represents journalists on access issues, was consulted about the new policy, according to Sanders. The organization’s president, Olivier Knox, declined to comment.)

DEKALB DAILY JOURNAL
— Would legal marijuana bring dispensaries to DeKalb, Sycamore? Mayors weigh in DeKalb, Sycamore mayors weigh in on recreational marijuana legalization – KELSEY RETTKE (DIERSEN: Needless-to-say, each and every mayor and each and every city council member in Illinois and each and every candidate for the aforesaid positions should state on the record that they will vote to pass ordinances a) to “opt out” of the retail sale of pot and b) to impose zoning restrictions on the commercial growing of pot. The Wheaton City Council is seeking applicants for city’s vacant North District City Council position. Applicants are asked to submit a statement identifying the three most important issues that they believe the city needs to address in the next two years as well as their opinion on how those issues could be addressed. Needless-to-say, applicants should state that discouraging pot usage is one of Wheaton’s most important issues. According to Capitol Fax’s Rich Miller, “Dude, I got news for you: Cannabis is already in your neighborhood. Your neighbors are consuming it, perhaps even right this moment. And most of your neighbors want it legalized.” SEE: https://capitolfax.com/2019/05/07/moylan-apparently-doesnt-realize-that-people-use-cannabis-now/)
https://www.daily-chronicle.com/2019/05/07/would-legal-marijuana-bring-dispensaries-to-dekalb-sycamore-mayors-weigh-in/al897t/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: If Illinois lawmakers do decide to legalize marijuana use by adults by 2020, DeKalb Mayor Jerry Smith says it will be a community decision on whether a dispensary is allowed to open in his city. Smith was in Springfield on Wednesday lobbying on behalf of the city with the Illinois Municipal League. He says he expects the legalization proposal will pass.)

CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— DECEMBER 24, 2003 FLASHBACK: Church arsonist receives 39 years – Ted Gregory (DIERSEN: Palinski was a registered Republican voter in my precinct. According to this article, Palinski’s “life started unraveling when he began using marijuana, cocaine, heroin and other drugs as a teenager.” I should try to arrange for Palinski to speak at public hearings in Wheaton about the evils of pot.)
https://www.chicagotribune.com/news/ct-xpm-2003-12-24-0312240124-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A Wheaton man who was admonished by a judge as a “selfish heartbreaker” received 39 years in prison Tuesday for setting fires that destroyed a Catholic church and damaged his next-door neighbor’s home, and for trying to arrange the murder of a prosecution witness in those cases. Adam Palinski, 22, a college student with a history of emotional instability, was sentenced by DuPage County Judge Perry Thompson. Palinski broke the hearts of parishioners at Wheaton’s St. Michael Catholic Church, which Palinski and his family attended, as well as the hearts of his neighbors and relatives, Thompson said. Thompson noted at Tuesday’s sentencing that family members testified Palinski is loving, courteous and religious. “Had any of those good qualities been present on the days in question, we would not be here today,” Thompson said. “Your dreams are going to be deferred for a long time.” In November, juries found Palinski guilty of arson, aggravated arson and solicitation of murder for hire. Aided by a videotaped confession and audio tapes of wiretapped conversations, prosecutors said Palinski set fire to the inside of the church about 2 a.m. March 18, 2002, after a night of drinking. The church, which was destroyed, is offering masses for the estimated 2,700 families in its school gymnasium. St. Michael’s leaders estimate the cost of rebuilding to be $9.75 million. About $4.5 million has been raised. After setting the church ablaze, Palinski splashed gasoline on his neighbor’s home and ignited it, prosecutors said. It went out before the residents awoke that morning. No one was injured. On one of the tapes, when investigators asked why Palinski set the fires, he replied: “No particular reason. I was bored.” Five months after his arrest, Palinski was charged with trying to find a hit man to kill a friend who obtained informal admissions of guilt from Palinski by wearing a court-approved listening device. At Tuesday’s sentencing, DuPage County Assistant State’s Atty. Joseph Ruggiero, who prosecuted the case with Steven Knight, said Palinski was a liar whose life started unraveling when he began using marijuana, cocaine, heroin and other drugs as a teenager.)

https://capitalresearch.org/article/dont-trust-the-messenger-part-4/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Conservatives and right-leaning moderates know that in order to get the “full story” they should read not only the Wall Street Journal and National Review, but also the Washington Post and The Atlantic. After all, it’s important to know how the other half of America thinks and feels about the news of the day. However, the media landscape isn’t what it used to be—where once there were nominally nonpartisan broadcast and print media, new nonprofit newsrooms backed by big liberal foundation resources have risen, even as conservative platforms have folded. But that doesn’t mean conservative readers and writers should resign themselves to obsolescence: a combination of foundation giving and visionary leadership could breathe new life into conservative and even less-partisan journalism, while providing the stability and flexibility necessary for new outlets to thrive.)

They a) reject planks in the Republican Party platform and/or the Illinois Republican Party platform and work against those like me who support those planks, b) reject the Milton Township Republican Central Committee resolution against video gambling and work against those like me who support that resolution, c) focus on destroying those like me who they cannot manipulate/dominate, d) were defendants in lawsuits that I have filed, and/or e) are operatives or dupes for the aforesaid.)

— Facebook boots Farrakhan, but whom does he harm? Himself, mostly – Neil Steinberg (DIERSEN: According to Wikipedia, Steinberg “began his journalism career in Chicago’s suburbs, working for the Barrington Courier-Review. He later wrote for the now-defunct Wheaton Daily Journal newspaper, but was fired after writing a column that made fun of the paper’s publisher.”)
https://chicago.suntimes.com/news/steinberg-facebook-farrakhan-bigotry-nation-islam/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: When I worked at the Wheaton Daily Journal, a third of a century ago, conservative Christians in that town engaged in a strategy I called “wallpapering the world.” They would seek out what they objected to and try to cover it up so they didn’t have to look at it, whether Playboys tucked behind the counter at the local 7-Eleven or the College of DuPage performing “Sister Mary Ignatius Explains it All for You.” That didn’t work because it never works. We are each in charge of our lives, and must embrace or reject what we ourselves feel must be embraced or rejected. The problem isn’t that Farrakhan believes hateful delusions; the problem is that other people seek them out. Blocking Farrakhan won’t solve that; they’ll just find their fix somewhere else.)

Of course, anti-Republicans want to ban Republicans from watching parades, from promoting parades, from sponsoring parades, and from marching in parades.) 
http://www.lowellsun.com/news/ci_32613070/about-face-dracut-parade
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The Dracut Republican Town Committee will be marching in the town’s Memorial Day Parade on May 27 after all, ending a rollercoaster that spanned two weeks. Selectmen Chair Jesse Forcier on Friday confirmed that the decision came after a discussion with town administration and representation from the American Legion Post 315. Forcier added that this opens up parade participation to other political groups as well. “The Republican Town Committee’s application will be processed and they will be extended every courtesy and allowed to march,” Forcier said when reached by phone. This latest twist comes after flip-flops that captivated the attention of many in town and angered Brian Genest, chairman of the Dracut Republican Town Committee. Two weeks ago, the committee was informed that Town Manager Jim Duggan was not allowing them to participate. Members of the Board of Selectmen last Tuesday strongly disagreed with Duggan’s decision at a meeting. Forcier during that meeting’s recess told a Sun reporter that the directive for Duggan was to allow the committee to march. The committee was barred once again the following day — this time by the American Legion Post 315. Richard Ducharme, commander of the Legion, said at the time that the organization puts on the event, while the town helps organize the order of bands and participants.)

https://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/breaking/ct-met-illinois-recreational-marijuana-protest-20190506-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Opponents of legalizing recreational marijuana in Illinois on Monday rejected Gov. J.B. Pritzker’s argument that his proposal would promote social equity by providing potential benefits to communities that have been disproportionately affected by enforcement of lower-level drug crimes. “Minorities have said to me we don’t want this stuff in our neighborhood,” state Rep. Marty Moylan, D-Des Plaines, said at a news conference outside the Thompson Center in the Loop. “There’s other ways to generate revenue, not on the backs of our children and young adults.”)

https://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/politics/ct-met-cheri-bustos-democrat-incumbents-lipinski-newman-20190506-story.html
— FROM THE ARTICLE: Bustos has faced criticism from more progressive elements of the party for opposition to primary challenges and for a DCCC policy that also prohibits political advisers, consultants or vendors from doing work with the organization if they work against incumbents. “I don’t want to spend one ounce of any resource on keeping Democrats in the seats that they already have. I want to make sure that we have resources to pick up seats,” said Bustos, who called the DCCC “an incumbent-friendly organization.”)

HARVARD BUSINESS REVIEW
— No Partner, No Kids, No Problem (DIERSEN: Government is nasty. Politics is nasty. Democrats, Libertarians, Greens, and RINOs are nasty. They used/use against me the fact that I did not get married until was 29, that my wife has always had income, that we gave up trying to have children, that we did not adopt, and that we did not become foster parents.) 
https://hbr.org/podcast/2019/05/no-partner-no-kids-no-problem
(FROM THE ARTICLE: If you aren’t married and don’t have kids, people at work might assume a lot of things: that you can stay late at the office, that you can’t possibly understand their stories about parenthood, that you just haven’t found the right partner (ugh). But those assumptions are often false. Single childless women have busy lives, close relationships with children like nieces or nephews — and many don’t want coupledom or motherhood. We talk to two women who’ve been researching and writing about being a single childless professional. The writer Shani Silver shares her experience with the career pros and cons, and then Tracy Dumas, a professor at Ohio State University, gives research-backed advice for responding to bias and unrealistic expectations.)

— U.S. Rep. Sean Casten has high praise for fellow freshman Rep.

What are the following doing to get the best possible Republican candidate to run against and defeat Casten: Peter Roskam, Illinois Republican Party (IRP) National Committeeman and Committeewoman, IRP officers, 6th Congressional District IRP State Central Committee member, and 6th Congressional District Republican county and township organization officers?) 
https://www.politico.com/newsletters/illinois-playbook/2019/04/18/casten-on-aocs-green-deal-preckwinkle-reflects-population-dropping-again-426113
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Casten, who campaigned on a “fix climate change” platform, just wishes it wasn’t sucking the air out of all the other green legislation. “The Green New Deal has made it very hard to advance a different idea about how to move forward [on climate change] without being seen as antagonistic,” Casten said during an interview with POLITICO. Casten has bills in various forms on issues he cares about, and he’s been asked by other lawmakers to join on their climate-focused bills, too. But they’re all effectively on hold, he says, while Ocasio-Cortez’s plan gets the headlines. The Green New Deal calls for the nation to reduce its fossil fuel use to zero within 10 years. Casten is back in Illinois this week after his first three months in Congress. We met over coffee at Starbucks in Carpentersville. Here are seven takeaways from the interview: On what works/doesn’t work in AOC’s resolution: “I agree with the urgency of it. That part is awesome. It’s just more idealistic than practical. To do climate policy right, you have to understand how our current energy structure works.” Casten points to questions about whether fertilizer can be made without natural gas or if aviation fuels can replace existing high-energy, low-density petroleum-based fuels. They’re both areas that are difficult to de-carbonize based on current technologies. His Capitol Hill mentors: U.S. Rep. Bill Foster, who serves Illinois’ 11th District. The two representatives share a passion for science and business. Also New Hampshire Rep. Annie Kuster and Maryland Rep. Jamie Raskin. “Every time I talk to [Raskin] I realize he’s super smart and I leave thinking I’m super smart,” says Casten.)

DAILY SIGNAL
— The Natural Limits of Identity Politics – Victor Davis Hanson (DIERSEN: Question: When will illegal immigration to America end? ANSWER: When Spanish is America’s official language. When everyone in America speaks, reads, and writes Spanish. When America looks like Mexico. When there are few, if any Whites left in America. When Mexico and the other Spanish-speaking countries officially declare victory over America.)
https://www.dailysignal.com/2019/04/18/the-natural-limits-of-identity-politics/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Economist Herbert Stein’s old adage—“If something cannot go on forever, it will stop”—still holds. Take illegal immigration. There are currently somewhere from 11 million to 15 million immigrants living in the United States without legal authorization. Last month, nearly 100,000 people were apprehended or turned away while trying to illegally cross the southern border. Some experts suggest that at least that number made it across without arrest. At that rate, the United States would be gaining a fairly large city of undocumented arrivals each month. Most of the people who enter the United States illegally arrive without fluency in English, a high school diploma, competitive job skills, or money. The majority will require support subsidies, and collectively they will require increased legal and law enforcement investments. At some point, American social services will be so taxed that the system will be rendered dysfunctional—as is already occurring in areas of the American Southwest. Or, some regions of America will so resemble the countries illegal immigrants abandoned that there will be little point in heading north. Either way, the current border chaos will find its own self-correcting mechanisms, even if that means there will be no border at all—or northern Mexico and the southern United States will become indistinguishable. Currently, the national debt is $22 trillion and growing at a rate of nearly $1 trillion a year due to staggering annual budget deficits. The George W. Bush and Barack Obama administrations roughly doubled the debt they inherited, and the Donald Trump administration may be on schedule to do the same. More importantly, the national debt is now over 100% of the gross domestic product. Presidents and Congress like to spend and to spread money to voters. They fear politically suicidal recessions if they cut back. But over the last 20 years, the government has mostly exhausted traditional economic stimuli such as larger budget deficits, near-zero real interest rates, and expansion of the money supply.)

Of course, sanctuary cites would have to require all their residents to speak, read, and write Spanish. Democrats in sanctuary cities want illegals to help Democrats get rid of Republicans once and for all. Will Democrats let Republicans stay in sanctuary cities a) if they give money to Democrats, b) if they learn to speak, read, and write Spanish, and/or b) if they give their jobs to illegals?)

— Trump told border official he’d pardon him if he were jailed for violating immigration law – CNN (DIERSEN: My Democrat superiors in the federal government talked and acted like Democrat politicians had told them that they would be protected if they got rid of their employees who were Republican, White, male, and/or non-veteran who had not made GS-13 (currently $98,198) by age 25, GS-14 (currently $116,040) by age 30, GS-15 (currently $136,495) by age 35, and Senior Executive Service (currently $165,500) by age 40. That is, they would be protected if they engaged in political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation.)

— Remember Murietta? Dumping unvetted migrants into the cities of political foes was done by Obama first – Monica Showalter (DIERSEN: What municipality, township, and county do you live in? What would the elected officials in your municipality, in your township, and/or in your county say if they were asked if they would allow your municipality, your township, and/or your county to accept illegals, and if so how many? FIRST, ELECTED OFFICIALS OF MUNICIPALITIES, TOWNSHIPS, AND COUNTIES HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO RIGHT TO ALLOW THEIR MUNICIPALITIES, TOWNSHIPS, OR COUNTIES TO ACCEPT ILLEGALS. I would sue any Wheaton, Milton Township, and/or DuPage County elected official who voted for Wheaton, Milton Township, and/or DuPage County to accept illegals. Of course, Democrats and Democrat plants, Libertarians and Libertarian plants, Greens and Green plants, and RINOs on city councils like Wheaton, township boards like Milton, and on county boards like DuPage have every right to try and get referendums passed to accept illegals.) 
https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2019/04/remember_murietta_dumping_unvetted_migrants_into_the_cities_of_political_foes_was_done_by_obama_first.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Back in 2014, when the migrant surge of that year brought tens of thousands of “unaccompanied children” and “moms and kids,” into the Rio Grande Valley, overwhelming the Texas processing facilities, President Obama inexplicably targeted small and mid-sized cities (same as the Trump officials’ emails) as their next destination of choice. And instead of talking about it, they really did try to bus the unvetted migrants into small cities such as Murietta, California; Yuma, Arizona; and a conservative area of New Mexico, bringing crime, disease, and a high need for social services, without consulting those communities. The residents protested, and the Obama administration declared them ‘racist’ in a bid to scare them into line. I was on the ground at Murietta during those protests when I was an editorial writer at Investor’s Business Daily, and I spoke to the citizens of that city, who were not only far from racist, but actually multiracial themselves. They told me this: Asked why the rebellion was centered in Murrieta and not elsewhere, the residents all had one answer: they were Reagan Country, and it was on their soil that the Reagan revolution was lit in 1978.)

https://japantoday.com/category/national/retiring-late-as-pensions-underwhelm-more-japanese-opt-to-prolong-employment

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Yasuhiro Furuse could have retired two years ago, but he wasn’t entirely happy with his pension income and had to put any such thoughts to bed. It was just as well for Furuse’s employer Orix Corp, a financial services group, which would have struggled to find a replacement, with Japan’s jobless rate at 26-year lows. This win-win arrangement, increasingly common in Japan, highlights a structural and policy challenge facing the world’s third-biggest economy. Prime Minister Shinzo Abe’s government is considering raising the retirement age to 70 or 75 from 65 now, to ease pension burdens as well as a labor crunch. But a more durable longer term solution, analysts say, is for Japan to relax its strict controls on foreign workers. “I have no choice but to work,” said Furuse, 62, a senior adviser at Orix’s corporate business headquarters. “I appreciate that I could keep working, which makes me better off than living on pension and savings. Besides, I want to do something to contribute to society.” Japan’s population is among the oldest on the planet and has one of the longest lifespans, putting pressure on its pension system. The old-age dependency ratio — or the numbers of elderly against those of working age — is the highest in the OECD. The situation is being compounded by Japan’s deep-seated reluctance to fully open its gates to foreign workers, leaving many companies to rely on the old guard to overcome severe labour shortages.)
