From what I see, the majority of both Democrats and Republicans would view members of the following groups negatively: union members, former union members, federal employees, former federal employees, federal retirees, American nameplate car owners, and those who do not own dogs. From what I see, the majority of Democrats promote the following while the majority of Republicans oppose the following: dependency on government, dependency on charity, LGBTQ activity, abortion, mass/illegal immigration and open borders, booze, gambling, pot, and other vices, abolition of the First and Second Amendments, patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation.)

Present-day attendees drew comparisons between the current political climate and that of 1968, hoping to re-capture the energy of the past to bring about change. “If you don’t have a screaming opposition to scream at that, it will take over,” said Katy Nielsen, a present-day protestor. “Here we are 50 years later and not only is it continuing, it’s worse now in a lot of ways.”)

http://www.news-gazette.com/news/2018-08-24/payment-wrong-ex-wife-earns-candidate-more-time.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A child-support check sent to the wrong ex-wife has given the Libertarian candidate for Illinois governor 30 more days to rectify the late payment. The (Arlington Heights) Daily Herald reports that Grayson “Kash” Jackson of Antioch told a judge Wednesday that a third-party online child-support disbursement firm erroneously sent the $3,067 payment to his first ex-wife in North Carolina. Jackson was found in contempt of court in May for refusing to pay his second ex-wife $6,067 in back child support and other education and health care needs. He was ordered to pay the lesser purge fee to stay out of jail. Parental rights have been a key issue in Jackson’s campaign for governor. He says he is unemployed and living on disability payments from a 20-year Navy career.)

My Democrat superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates in the federal government used the money that I spend on new cars and on collector cars to demonize me, to denigrate me, and to condemn me as being undeservedly filthy rich. They especially used against me the money that I spent to buy a new 1966 Pontiac Tempest Sprint in 1966 when I was 17 years old, a new 1968 Oldsmobile 442 in 1967, a new 1969 Dodge Charger SE in 1968, a new 1972 Chevy Corvette in 1971, a 1962 Chevy Impala SS collector car in 1989, and a 1968 Dodge Charger R/T collector car in 1994.)

GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— QUESTION: What discourages conservatives from attending CPAC and from attending other such “conservative” conferences? ANSWER: Ever-increasingly, such conferences are really Libertarian conferences. Ever-increasingly, such conferences downplay the traditional family, right to life, immigration, Second Amendment, and equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) planks in the Republican Party platform. Ever-increasingly, such conferences promote LGBTQ activity, mass/illegal immigration, booze, gambling, pot, and other vices. – Dave Diersen

CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— OUTSTANDING: Gov. Bruce Rauner vetoes immigration rights bills in Illinois’ Trump country – Rick Pearson
http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/politics/ct-met-bruce-rauner-immigration-20180824-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner used the opening of the Du Quoin State Fair on Friday to veto “bad bills” to expand rights for immigrants living in Illinois illegally as the governor tries to solidify core rural conservatives Downstate who back President Donald Trump behind his re-election. Rauner told WJPF-AM 1020 in Marion that Illinois’ high number of immigrants who lack documentation “pushes up our unemployment rate and that holds down wages in Illinois and takes jobs away from Americans. We’ve got to stand against that.” The Republican governor also said he has pushed the federal government to require electronic verification of worker residency status in the country. “We increase the penalties for employers who hire illegals rather than Americans, we can really clamp down on illegal immigration and we can lead to more jobs for Americans and higher wages,” he said. Rauner, facing a challenge from Democratic governor candidate J.B. Pritzker, has worked since the primary to try to unify conservatives unhappy with his past approval of measures that expanded abortion, immigration and gay rights. . .Rauner signed two other immigration-related measures — one prohibiting any registry programs involving people due to race or religion and another allowing skilled immigrants to more easily seek licenses for professional activities. The Republican governor called the two new laws “really minor, pretty nothing.”)

During the grand unveiling of the Corvette flag, at the grandstand, a special salute to service of a reading/recording of “What is an American,” written by Michael Brown, was played. After the playing of Brown’s writing, on-site veterans joined together for a reaffirmation of oath. After the oath, trumpeter Willard Jackson played the service anthems of the Army, Navy, Air Force and Marines. Wesley Wong then led a parade and tribute of first responders past the grandstand stage. Wong was one of the first on-scene during the terror attacks of September 11, 2001. Corvettes at Carlisle brings together thousands of Corvette enthusiasts and Corvettes.)

Organizers of the show say this is an important time to show support for the country, and the nation’s symbol. “We feel like this year it means even more,” said Mike Garland, Carlisle Events. “Over the past three years we’ve watched professional athletes take a knee, for whatever reason they want to claim as their cause, but they’re doing so during the national anthem.” “We want everyone to know that Carlisle events of central Pennsylvania company that is certainly in the military history we have here with Gettysburg and with the Army War College, and everything we stand at Carlisle, nobody is going to be taking a knee for this flag.”)

 

PRESS CORP
— AHEAD OF AUGUST 28 PRIMARY, GOOGLE CENSORS CONTENT FOR U.S. SENATE CANDIDATE DR. KELLI WARD (DIERSEN: Of course, my critics/opponents want Google to censure GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails. My critics/opponents want you to know only what they tell you, no more and no less.)
https://presscorp.org/news/ahead-of-august-28-primary-google-censors-content-for-u-s-senate-candidate-dr-kelli-ward
(FROM THE ARTICLE: After two weeks of unsuccessful petitioning and support consultations, CFO Chris Weir and President Larry Ward of Political Media, Inc. believe their agency’s efforts to promote U.S. Senate candidate Dr. Kelli Ward are being deliberately blocked by Google’s advertising department. For more than two weeks, Weir and Ward have been doing everything “by the book” to promote newly launched Kelli Ward microsite — www.MarthaMcFake.com — on the silicon giant’s advertising platform to no avail. “We’ve been placing digital ads on Google for decades and we have never seen anything like this,” says Ward. “We have been going back and forth with Google ad services for weeks seeking approval to promote MarthaMcFake.com, a single-page microsite exposing candidate Martha McSally’s fake conservatism, and they are playing games with us. With just days left until the August 28 primary for an incredibly hot and closely watched GOP Senate race, this reeks of censorship.” Political Media Chief Financial Officer Chris Weir, who has been in direct communication with Google support, says his conversations with the tech giant have been circular in nature. “They were telling me that our information didn’t match their information: our company name, our address and our EIN,” says Weir. “I was on the phone with four different people, two of which were supervisors and our campaign is still without approval despite weeks of effort and literally hours on the phone.” “The folks at Google said our accounts were reviewed manually then they said they were reviewed by a team. After that they said they were reviewed by an automated system. None of their claims were adding up,” Weir states. “We sent Google their verification form on August 7th and received neither a letter of approval nor a letter of rejection. “Political Media, Inc. is calling on Google to lift the ban on MarthaMcFake.com promotional advertising, an action that directly inhibits free speech rights and the democratic process in advance of the upcoming primary election in Arizona.)

— AXELROD weighs in on gov race – Shia Kapos (DIERSEN: Government is nasty. Politics is nasty.

I should write a book about the nastiest past and present politicians, their operatives, and their dupes in Wheaton, in Glen Ellyn, in Milton Township, in DuPage County, in Illinois, in TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois, in Wheaton Chamber of Commerce, in Milton Township Republican Central Committee, in DuPage County Republican Central Committee, in Illinois Republican Party, in Illinois Center Right Coalition, in American Association of Political Consultants, in GAO, in IRS, in Post Office, in etc.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: “Any consultant would say you’ve got to take the other guy down. It may be too late for him to project any sense of why the next four years would be any different than the last four years. That’s the question,” Axelrod said. “If he were to come back under these conditions, it would be one of the greatest political rehabilitation stories in Illinois history,” said Axelrod, who expects Rauner “to run brutal negative ads and hope he can knock Pritzker down to the point to pass him.” Axelrod said Rauner’s favorability numbers also need to rise in order for him to get out of his funk. The poll shows voters have a negative opinion of him by a 2-to-1 margin. Those numbers seem “almost impossible to surmount,” said Axelrod. “But impossible things happen in politics.” Told of Axelrod’s comments, Rauner spokesman Alex Browning responded, “Pundits and public polling were wrong about Bruce Rauner in 2014 and they’ll be wrong again in 2018. With Illinois’ future on the line, voters care about lowering taxes and fighting corruption, not polling and prop bets.”)

NEW YORK TIMES
— Singapore Says ‘Crazy Rich Asians’ Author Skipped Military Service – Austin Ramzy (DIERSEN: Did you avoid the draft? Trump and I did. I should write a book about those who have punished me the most for my avoiding the draft by getting four student draft deferments 1966-1970 and a financial hardship draft deferment 1970-1971.
https://www.nytimes.com/2018/08/22/world/asia/kevin-kwan-crazy-rich-asians-singapore-military.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The author of “Crazy Rich Asians,” the best-selling novel on which the new hit film is based, never fulfilled his national service obligations in Singapore and could face a fine or potential prison term, the country’s Ministry of Defense said Wednesday. The status of the author, Kevin Kwan, was revealed by the authorities one day after the film, which was largely set and filmed in Singapore, made its premiere there. Mr. Kwan did not attend the opening there, although the director, Jon M. Chu, and several of the film’s stars did. Mr. Kwan, 44, left Singapore when he was 11 and moved to Houston. Singapore requires all male citizens to perform two years of service in the military, the police or the civil defense force, generally starting at age 18. Singaporeans are not allowed to renounce their citizenship until they turn 21, and can face legal problems if they try to do so without fulfilling their national service. Some profiles of Mr. Kwan said he became an American citizen at age 18. But Singapore appears to have not given up its claims to him. The Ministry of Defense said Mr. Kwan’s application to renounce his citizenship in 1994 was rejected, as was a subsequent appeal. “Mr. Kwan has committed offenses under the Enlistment Act,” the ministry said in a statement, adding that he could face a fine of up to $7,300 and/or imprisonment of up to three years if convicted.)

https://www.deseretnews.com/article/900028951/know-what-the-harp-twins-are-good-at-everything-but-especially-iron-maiden-covers.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: But the similarities don’t end there. Both graduated with honors from the Wheaton College Conservatory of Music in Illinois in harp performance, have competed multiple times at Junior Olympic swimming events, are trained horseback riders and skilled in rifle marksmanship. But when it comes to their differences, the twins don’t have many answers.)

 

DAILY BEAST
— Trump: Michael Cohen Flipping Against Me Should Almost Be Made Illegal (DIERSEN: I should write a book about those who have flipped against me. They talk and/or act like my critics/opponents had promised them a government job, a government office, a political office, a sweetheart government contract, a new home, a new car, favorable legislation, lots of money, and/or more if they got rid of me. The aforesaid played major roles in ending my TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois chairmanship, ending my Wheaton Chamber of Commerce Government Affairs Committee membership, ending my Milton Township Republican Central Committee webmaster service, ending my Illinois Center Right Coalition Steering Committee membership, ending my American Association of Political Consultants Midwest Chapter board membership, ending my GAO employment, etc.)

Disciplinary actions that my Democrat IRS superiors tool against me included not promoting me beyond GS-12, disallowing my education deductions in 1978, getting rid of my mentor in 1975, and disallowing my partial day per diem claims in 1974. Disciplinary actions that my Democrat Post Office superiors took against me included forcing me resign in 1969 and disallowing my sick leave requests in 1969 and 1968.)

FOX ILLINOIS
— New legislation to help keep Illinois students in state – Senait Gebregiorgis (DIERSEN: Ever-increasingly, because Democrats run all the colleges in Illinois, if you earn a degree from a college in Illinois, you are presumed to be a Democrat. Ever-increasingly, Democrats are anti-Trump, anti-Protestant, anti-conservative, anti-patriotic, anti-Republican, anti-American, anti-White, anti-male, anti-older people, anti-rich people, anti-gun owners, anti-German Americans, anti-draft avoiders, and/or anti-those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time. If I had attended or earned degrees from conservative colleges, a) the Post Office would NOT have hired me in 1966 or let me work there for almost 3 years, b) IRS would NOT have hired me in 1971 or let me work there for almost 9 years, c) IRS would NOT have promoted me in 1972, 1973, or 1974, d) GAO would NOT have hired me in 1980 or let me work there for almost 18 years, and e) GAO would NOT have promoted me in 1986.)

POLITICO ILLINOIS
— FROM THE ARTICLE: Rauner is less popular than President Donald Trump. Thirty percent of Illinoisans have a favorable view of Trump, according to the NBC News/Marist poll, compared with Rauner’s 26 percent. Pritzker is at 38 percent in the poll. How Trump supporters lean. The poll notes that 58% of Trump voters in Cook County support Pritzker, vs. 21 percent for Rauner. More interesting, 43 percent of central/downstate Trump voters say they’ll vote for Pritzker, vs. 33 percent supporting Rauner. The fallout: A top of the ticket blowout could have serious down-ballot implications, especially for central and downstate congressional and state legislative races. Good example: Republican U.S. Rep. Mike Bost in the 12th or U.S. Rep. Rodney Davis in the 13th District.

CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— Deputy Illinois House Republican leader Tom Demmer of Dixon says attacks on Madigan won’t stop anytime soon – Rick Pearson

http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/politics/ct-met-republicans-michael-madigan-20180819-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The head of the Illinois Democratic County Chairs’ Association says the governor’s use of his personal wealth to rebuild the state Republican Party is breaking the GOP. Doug House sought to differentiate between Rauner giving millions of dollars to the state Republican Party and J.B. Pritzker’s cash helping to rebuild the Democratic Party. “He broke the Republican Party. He took a large amount of money and set it in front of a fan and turned it on and it just spread across the state Republican Party in a way that did motivate or make them enthusiastic for their candidacy, but it didn’t do anything to build their party. It didn’t create any infrastructure. It didn’t motivate and bring out any activists and build the party through people,” House said Sunday on WGN-AM 720. “Once that money’s gone and once that resource is gone, I feel that he’s broken the Republican Party in a way they will have forgotten what they have learned in terms of raising money and in terms of that grassroots infrastructure type of things they did,” he said. In contrast, House said Pritzker’s money has helped set up the “Blue Wave Illinois” program that included candidate recruitment, training and organizational help for county Democratic organizations across the state that work in building grassroots support. Democrats, House said, have “certainly benefited by his enthusiasm but also by the resources he’s brought to bear to help rebuild and re-energize our party across the state. He’s expressed a genuine interest from the very beginning in the introduction of himself and his campaign that he was interested in helping to build the party.”)

Further, I went on vacations with a coworker to Hawaii, Mexico, Bahamas, and Jamaica while I worked for IRS 1973-1976. Needless-to-say, my envy-filled IRS and GAO Democrat superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates were beyond furious. Overwhelmingly, their spouses had little or no income.)

QUAD CITY TIMES
— DIERSEN HEADLINE: Democrats promote a Democrat who says “Good Republicans can vote Dem.” Political parties exist to help elect candidates who can and will defend and advance their platform. What do you say to those in Illinois who cast Republican primary ballots, who become Republican precinct committeemen/captains, who get elected to leadership positions in Republican organizations, who get elected as Republicans to government offices, etc., but who talk and act like they are really Democrats, Libertarians, or Greens? They fail/refuse to promote the traditional family, right to life, immigration, Second Amendment, and other planks in the Illinois Republican Party platform. They promote dependency on government, dependency on charity, LGBTQ activity, abortion, mass/illegal immigration, abolition of the Second Amendment, booze, gambling, pot, and other vices, patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, retaliation, and even worse things.)

WIREPOINTS
— Unbalanced Illinois…again and again and again – Ted Dabrowski and John Klingner (DIERSEN: What, if anything, has unbalanced you budget for this year? For me it was my 1972 Corvette. D&M Corvette in Downers Grove has appraised my 1972 Corvette at $41,500. But that was after I recently invested $6,702 in the car – $5,228 to D&M ($3,466 labor and $1,762 parts) and $1,474 to Coker Tire for 5 Firestone Wide Oval replica tires. I had not started the car for almost 9 years. Most of D&M’s bill was for repairing damage that ethanol did to car’s entire fuel system. The master cylinder and four calipers were replaced, A/C was charged, carburetor was rebuilt and fuel pump replaced, minor electrical and mechanical problems were fixed, five new tires were installed, new battery was installed, etc. I could have avoided much if not all of the fuel system and brake problems if I had driven the car more – at least once each summer. But my excuse for not starting the car since 2009 is that since 2004, I have spent 10+ hours each and every day putting GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails together and sending them out.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: A majority of employers asked their new employees whether or not their parents went to University or the type of school they attended; 4 in 10 also asked their current employees these questions, according to the Index. So there is still more work to do. Social mobility has declined in the last 30 years in the UK and in particular, fair access to the professions. The statistics are pretty damning: only 7% of the population attend independent schools but the privately-educated account for more than half of the top level of most professions, including 70% of high court judges, 54% of top journalists and 54% of chief executive officers of FTSE100 companies, according to a Sutton Trust report.)

  1. LOUIS TODAY
    — Amateur hour in Illinois – Kevin McDermott (DIERSEN: What experience do you have? How hard have your critics/opponents worked to marginalize your experience? My critics/opponents have always worked extremely hard to marginalize my experience. I worked for GAO for almost 18 years, the last 11 years of which at the GS-13 Step 1-10 levels, currently $96,403-$125,325. I worked for IRS for almost 9 years, the last 5 1/2 years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 levels, currently $81,071-$91,880. I am a Forensic Accountant, Certified Financial Services Auditor, Certified Government Financial Manager, Certified Fraud Examiner, licensed CPA, Certified Internal Auditor (CIA), and CPA. I passed the CIA and CPA examinations on my first attempt. I have master’s degrees in finance, accounting, and business.)

    (FROM THE ARTICLE: I’m terrible with cars. I mean, can’t-so-much-as-change-a-spark-plug terrible. May I tune yours up for you? I’m bad in the kitchen, too. Eggs and toast are pretty much my whole repertoire, and I tend to burn the toast. Want me to cater your next event? You’d probably rather call a chef, or a mechanic. Expertise matters. Except when it comes to filling the top leadership posts in our democracy. Then, it seems, we’re ready to take a chance on those who have never led so much as a school board meeting. How often have you heard a candidate for governor, senator, even president boast that his or her complete lack of lower-rung political experience is a shimmering plus rather than a glaring minus? And how does that usually work out? Think about disgraced ex-Missouri Gov. Eric Greitens. Think about our current chaos president. Why do we imagine that high political leadership is the one job best left to the amateurs? Picture your dentist using that logic: I’ve never actually worked on teeth before. I’m proud to be an “outsider.” Open wide! That’s basically what’s unfolding right now in Illinois. For the second consecutive election, voters in the Land of Lincoln this November will choose a mega-wealthy governor who has never held any lower political office, and who only got to this one with a massive boost from his personal checkbook. We know this will be true regardless of the election result, because it’s a description that fits both of the major-party candidates. Sure, incumbent Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner can claim four years of on-the-job training, but given his performance during that time, it’s not much of a claim. He had never held any political office before buying into his first gubernatorial term in 2014 with $27.6 million from his own pocket. A venture capitalist, what he brought with him from that world were boardroom skills that you can’t say have been unproductive in office — because they’ve been counterproductive in office. As for Hyatt Hotels heir and Democratic nominee J.B. Pritzker, it seems his primary qualification for governor, and the main reason his party handed him the nomination over more experienced Democrats, is the 10-figure fortune he was born into and his willingness to use it. Rauner is worth nine figures, and Democrats decided to fight fire with more fire. Business people with no political experience who run for high office invariably argue that their business skills are not just an adequate substitute for political skills, but are better. This has never made sense. The goals, rules and responsibilities of business are completely different from those of politics. Rauner’s first term has been a textbook illustration of those differences.)

I should write a book about those individuals, organizations, companies, and governments in Wheaton, in Glen Ellyn, in Milton Township, in DuPage County, and in Illinois that blacklist me. 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, and/or d) were defendants in lawsuits that I have filed.)
