WHEATON PATCH
— COMMENT: Democrats say “Conroy Seeks Censure, Residents Split On Sheriff’s Weapons Ban Stance. DuPage County Board Chair Deb Conroy said Tuesday she plans to seek censure of Sheriff Mendrick for his stance on the statewide ban. Conroy said she will introduce a resolution in February to censure Mendrick.” DuPage County has more residents than five states (Wyoming, Vermont, Alaska, North Dakota, South Dakota) and the District of Columbia. DuPage County Republicans vehemently oppose any such censure. I should write a book about my “Republican” critics/opponents a) who fail/refuse to support Mendrick and b) who tried but failed with a surprise effort to get the Illinois Center Right Coalition to censure me for my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters at the start of its annual convention in Wheaton in 2006. They blamed me and blamed my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters for Bill Brady’s defeat in the 2006 Republican gubernatorial primary. Previously, they blamed me and blamed my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters for Jim Ryan’s loss to Blagojevich in 2002.)

GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— How will Conroy proceed with her censure of Mendrick? What about due process? What rights will she accord Mendrick? When and how will Conroy put her charges against Mendrick in writing and publish those charges? Will she give Mendrick an opportunity to respond to those charges in writing and publish his response? Will she allow conservatives like me, that is, platform Republicans like me, that is, Republicans like me to file amicus curiae (friend of the court) type documents with the DuPage County Board in support of Mendrick? Will she allow Mendrick to speak in his defense at her February 14 DuPage County Board meeting? Will she allow Mendrick’s supporters like me to speak in defense of Mendrick at her February 14 DuPage County Board meeting? In 2006, the Illinois Center Right Coalition (ICRC) did not accord me such rights when my critic/opponents tried but failed with a surprise effort to get ICRC to censure me for my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters at the start of its annual convention in Wheaton in June of 2006. – Dave Diersen

— COMMENT: Democrats say “IRS harshly punishes taxpayers who accidentally break the rules.” My Democrat IRS superiors harshly punished me for my opposing their political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination. They got rid of their Republican employees who White, male, and/non-veteran who they had not promoted to GS-13, currently $109,732/year, by age 25. Extremely few IRS employees make that promotion deadline. I did not make GS-12, currently $92,279/year until I was 25 in 1974. To get rid of me, my Democrat IRS superiors a) disallowed my travel vouchers in 1974, b) got rid of the IRS manager in 1975 who had promoted me in 1972, 1973, and 1974, c) never promoted me to GS-13, and d) disallowed my education deductions in 1978. I should write a book about all that. I would focus on how my Democrat IRS superiors used Affirmative Action, Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and up-or-out to get rid of their Republican employees. All my IRS coworkers who my Democrat IRS superiors promoted over me were minority, female, veteran, had less job-related work experience than I had, and/or had less job-related education than I had.)

— COMMENT: Ever-increasingly, hate-filled Republican-hating Republican-haters a) promote more crime in Illinois, in your county, in your township, and in your municipality, b) use shootings to promote more hatred against Republicans, and say c) “Legal assaults on Illinois’ sensible new gun law are a travesty. No one can go to school, to church, to a concert, to a celebration, to a park or to a movie without fearing they suddenly will be targeted by a slaughterer wielding deadly weapons.” Criminals will always have semiautomatic weapons. As crime increases under the Democrats, the need for semiautomatic weapons for self-defense increases. Under the Democrats, expect that as crime increases, a) 911 response times will increase and b) law enforcement will be overwhelmed by criminals using semiautomatic weapons.

(FROM THE ARTICLE: A McLean County judge on Wednesday dismissed a lawsuit filed by three prospective candidates for Normal municipal positions that are not set to appear on the spring ballot. Eleventh Circuit Judge Mark Fellheimer determined that the claims filed on the candidates’ behalf by former Republican attorney general candidate Tom DeVore against Normal’s town government and Clerk Angie Huonker were not aligned with state and local law. At issue was whether the clerk was required to certify the candidates’ petitions for the offices of town collector and town supervisor, two offices that are not part of Normal’s government body, and town clerk, a position that is currently appointed.)

STATELINE
— TRAGIC: Illinois students trade alcohol, vaping for marijuana use – John Clark
https://www.mystateline.com/news/local-news/report-illinois-students-trade-alcohol-vaping-for-marijuana-use/
(FROM THE ARTICLE’: According to a recent survey, alcohol and vaping use amongst 8th, 10th, and 12th-grade students has declined, but marijuana use has increased. The Illinois Youth Survey is undertaken every two years by participating school districts across the state. FHN provided the survey results for Stephenson and Jo Daviess counties, which showed that past-year alcohol use is between 24 – 31% in the 10th grade, increasing to 44 – 52% in the 12th grade, with more than 50% of the students who drank reporting that they received the alcohol from their parents. Winnebago County showed 32% alcohol use in 10th grade, increasing to 42% in 12th grade. Boone County showed 27% in 10th grade and 34% in 12th grade. Ogle County showed 31% alcohol use in 10th grade, increasing to 51% in 12th grade. The survey showed the percentage of alcohol use has been declining over the past four years, but the past-year use of marijuana is now between 23 – 25% of 12th-grade students in Stephenson and Jo Daviess counties, 22% in Boone County, 32% Winnebago County, and 31% in Ogle County. According to the Illinois Department of Human Services Substance Use Prevention Services, research over the years has identified the following risk factors for underage alcohol and other substance misuses: Antisocial behaviors, perceptions of peer substance use, low perceived risk of harm, poor family-youth relationships, and parental acceptance of substance use, school absenteeism, and availability and marketing of substances to youth.)

— Governments that disarm the people have troubling history – CLIFFORD C. NICHOLS
https://www.abqjournal.com/1154293/governments-that-disarm-the-people-have-troubling-history.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: When considering gun controls, a nation must first acknowledge that this world is, by definition, broken. It’s a given evil will erupt from time to time, no matter what anyone does to prevent it. It’s just where and when it will happen that is most often unforeseeable. Once that is agreed upon, perhaps we can also further agree that, when evil does erupt – whether the threat is personal or national – the last thing any of us should want is for us to have allowed our government to have removed our ability to defend ourselves against it. Consider Hitler. He took away guns in Germany in the 1930s and in every country he conquered thereafter, particularly from (those) “disfavored” by his government. In the words of Heinrich Himmler, “Ordinary citizens don’t need guns, as having guns doesn’t serve the State.” Within that context, compare the evolution of today’s gun debate with the events that actually occurred in Germany not so very long ago: “In 1931, Weimar (Republic government) authorities discovered plans for a Nazi takeover… In reaction to such threats, the (Weimer) government authorized the registration of all firearms … for ‘public safety.’ The interior minister warned that the records must not fall into the hands of any extremist group. “In 1933, the ultimate extremist group, led by Adolf Hitler, seized power and used the (gun registration) records (of the former Weimer government) to identify, disarm, and attack political opponents and Jews. …” (“How the Nazis Used Gun Control,” by Stephen P. Halbrook, National Review, Dec. 2, 2013.) At minimum, the foregoing should highlight that, from the perspective of some governments’ like Hitler’s, the operative word in “gun control” is control. Such control as that which allowed the Nazis, i.e. German government, in the 1940s to deport millions of people on trains to destinations like Auschwitz from every country over which Hitler’s “government,” i.e. tyranny, took control…. These were people who knew … they were destined to die – people who should have resisted, but didn’t in part because they had been disarmed. Guns taken from good people by their government only really matters when government, for whatever reason, turns evil and decides to do evil to good people. Whether a person supported Clinton or Trump, all should be able to agree … any government anywhere is susceptible to becoming a tyranny led by men or women who are evil. If you don’t think that can happen in any nation – even America – think again. Consider the massacre at Wounded Knee in South Dakota on Dec. 29, 1890. After the United States 7th Cavalry confiscated the firearms of a group of Lakota Sioux “for their own safety and protection at the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation,” 297 Indians were murdered. After the majority of the Sioux had peacefully turned in their firearms, the Calvary began shooting and wiped out the camp; 200 of the dead were women and children. To empower the people of the United States with the ability to resist any tyranny that might threaten them in the future was the sole reason our founding fathers gave all Americans the right to bear arms guaranteed by the 2nd Amendment. Those who disagree should ask: Why?)

PATRIOT POST
— Democrats Demand ‘Assault Weapons’ Ban – MARK ALEXANDER
https://patriotpost.us/alexander/94436-shocker-demos-demand-assault-weapons-ban-2023-01-25
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Because neither of the assailants fit Joe Biden’s favored “white supremacist” profile, he trotted out his familiar call for banning so-called “assault weapons.” This despite the fact that neither of the assailants used rifles in the attacks. Fact is, rifles of any type and shotguns combined are used in less than 3% of all homicides, but Biden has never let facts get in the way of his political agenda.)

REASON
— No Matter the ‘Details on These Shootings,’ Biden Says, Congress Should Respond by Banning ‘Assault Weapons’ The president seems to have forgotten his concession that such laws leave murderers with plenty of options that are “just as deadly.” – JACOB SULLUM (COMMEMT: Ever-increasingly, Democrats use shootings a) to outlaw semi-automatic firearms, then b) to outlaw all firearms, then c) to confiscate all firearms, then d) to justify abolishing the Second Amendment, and then d) to officially abolish the Second Amendment. If America had never had the Second Amendment, a) Mexico would have invaded America sooner than it did and b) Japan and Germany would have invaded America in WWII.)

(FROM WIKIPEDIA: His (Polk’s) message to Congress on May 11, 1846, claimed that “Mexico has passed the boundary of the United States, has invaded our territory and shed American blood upon American soil.” The U.S. Congress approved the declaration of war on May 13, 1846.

Therefore, very few federal employees take job-related courses. It would have been great a) if the Post Office had reimbursed me for the tuition that I paid for job-related undergraduate courses at UIC 1966-1968 and at NIU 1969-1970, b) if IRS had reimbursed the tuition that I paid for job-related graduate courses at Loyola 1972-1976 and at DePaul 1976-1980, and c) if GAO had reimbursed the tuition that I paid for job-related graduate courses at IIT 1992-1997.

I served as the chairman of TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois 2005-2012. I should write a book about that. I would focus on my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes who worked the hardest against me. I would focus on those who claim to be religious, conservative, and/or Republican.
