— Border pandering, not Kamala Harris-Joe Biden drama, will decide 2020 – John Kass (DIERSEN: To regain the White House, to regain the Senate, and to keep the House, top priorities for Democrats include a) flooding America with future Democrats, that is, flooding America with citizens of foreign countries who need/want massive government assistance, who lack education, who lack job skills, and/or who have severe financial, health, and/or other problems; b) making everyone in America dependent on government and/or dependent on charity; c) turning everyone in America into a stoner; d) promoting LGBTQ activity, that is, destroying traditional marriage and destroying the traditional family; e) getting White women to abort all their babies; f) abolishing the Second Amendment; g) promoting Affirmative Action, Diversity, Inclusion, and Reparations, that is, promoting patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation; and h) getting rid of those who whose ancestors have been in America for a long time.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Sen. Kamala Harris, one of only two black candidates in a field of two dozen, had a history-making moment on the debate stage Thursday night when she challenged former vice president Joe Biden over racial issues. But as the reaction to her debate performance poured in, so did the racist attacks on social media, where some accused the California Democrat of not being black enough, and others suggested she was not really American. On Twitter, some commenters suggested Harris was unfairly portraying herself as African American, since she is the daughter of a Jamaican father and an Indian mother.)

June 28 Morning edition

CHICAGO SUN-TIMES
— Weed cafes in Illinois? People could be allowed to smoke marijuana at bars, restaurants, other businesses under new law. Legalization includes an exemption to the Smoke-Free Illinois Act ban on indoor smoking, letting cities decide whether to allow on-site use at bars, restaurants, theaters, even new cannabis smoke lounges. – Tom Schuba (DIERSEN: Municipalities and counties that do not ban the sale of pot shout that they are NOT FAMILY FRIENDLY. Your mayor and your city council members and your county board chairman and your county board members should ASAP call for a vote on the sale of pot and ASAP announce that they will vote against the sale of pot. I urge Wheaton Mayor Phil Suess and Wheaton City Council members Michael Barbier, Erica Bray-Parker, Suzanne Fitch, John K. Rutledge, and Todd Scalzo and the new North District Council member (soon to be Christopher J. Zaruba) to a) call for a vote on the sale of pot in Wheaton ASAP and b) vote NO on the sale of pot in Wheaton. I urge DuPage County Chairman Dan Cronin and DuPage County Board members Donald Puchalski, Ashley Selmon, Sam Tornatore, Elizabeth Chaplin, Peter “Pete” DiCianni, Sean Noonan, Greg Hart, Brian Krajewski, Julie Renehan, Grant Eckhoff, Tim Elliott, Mary FitzGerald Ozog, Sadia Covert, Dawn DeSart, James Healy, Robert Larsen, Sheila Rutledge, and James Zay to a) call for a vote on the sale of pot in unincorporated DuPage County ASAP and b) vote NO on the sale of pot in unincorporated DuPage County.)

MARIJUANA REPORT
— If 66 percent of Americans support legalizing marijuana, why are so many local communities banning it? (DIERSEN: Your mayor and your city council members and your county board chairman and your county board members should ASAP call for a vote on the sale of pot and ASAP announce that they will vote against the sale of pot. I urge Wheaton Mayor Phil Suess and Wheaton City Council members Michael Barbier, Erica Bray-Parker, Suzanne Fitch, John K. Rutledge, and Todd Scalzo and the new North District Council member (soon to be Christopher J. Zaruba) to a) call for a vote on the sale of pot in Wheaton ASAP and b) vote NO on the sale of pot in Wheaton. I urge DuPage County Chairman Dan Cronin and DuPage County Board members Donald Puchalski, Ashley Selmon, Sam Tornatore, Elizabeth Chaplin, Peter “Pete” DiCianni, Sean Noonan, Greg Hart, Brian Krajewski, Julie Renehan, Grant Eckhoff, Tim Elliott, Mary FitzGerald Ozog, Sadia Covert, Dawn DeSart, James Healy, Robert Larsen, Sheila Rutledge, and James Zay to a) call for a vote on the sale of pot in unincorporated DuPage County ASAP and b) vote NO on the sale of pot in unincorporated DuPage County.)
https://mailchi.mp/nationalfamilies/if-66-percent-of-americans-support-legalizing-marijuana-why-are-so-many-local-communities-banning-it-1931691
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Fifty-seven percent of Michigan voters passed Proposition 1, which legalized marijuana for recreational use, last November. Yet some 600 cities and townships in the state have banned marijuana businesses within their borders. And that’s before the Michigan Marijuana Regulatory Agency issues regulations to apply for a state license to produce and sell marijuana products. The rules are expected to be handed down by month’s end, and the state plans to start accepting applications by October. The practice of keeping the marijuana industry out of local communities began with Colorado, which legalized the drug for medical use 19 – and for recreational use 7 – years ago. Nearly two-thirds (65 percent) of Colorado’s cities, towns, and counties still want nothing to do with marijuana growing, production, or sales and have banned all such activities, according to the state’s Marijuana Enforcement Division. And some 75 percent of California’s local governments have banned pot shops since the passage of Proposition 64 three years ago, so many that now some legislators are trying to do away with local control. And two dozen cities are suing the state to keep marijuana home delivery services out of jurisdictions that have banned the industry. More than half of Massachusetts’ communities have banned (red areas in map below) or placed moratoriums (orange areas) on the marijuana industry since the state fully legalized pot in 2016. Although many of the moratoriums expired December 31, 2018, more than 80 are still in play. And many towns that have neither placed moratoriums nor banned the industry simply refuse to sign the required host agreements that enable the marijuana industry to conduct business in their jurisdictions. Even jurisdictions in states that have NOT legalized marijuana for recreational use are banning the pot industry. Some 50 local governments in New Jersey passed laws banning marijuana sales or possession within their borders as the state legislature considered but rejected legalization this year. And Philadelphia city council members who support marijuana for medical use are nonetheless banning dispensaries in areas within their districts. “I am for medical marijuana, but I am not for the over proliferation of those types of dispensaries in one neighborhood,” says council member Curtis Jones. He added that he fears medical dispensaries could turn into “recreational weed shops” if the state were to fully legalize the drug. Given this kind of pushback, legalizing marijuana for recreational use may not be so inevitable as advocates claim.)

DAILY HERALD
— Three candidates emerge for DuPage recorder seat – Robert Sanchez
https://www.dailyherald.com/news/20190627/three-candidates-emerge-for-dupage-recorder-seat
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The general election is still 16 months away but three candidates already say they plan to run for recorder of deeds in DuPage County. Republican Babette Holder-Youngberg of Wheaton, Republican Ronald Almiron of Wheaton and Democrat Moon Khan of Lombard all have announced they are running for the countywide seat held by Republican Fred Bucholz. Holder-Youngberg even has the endorsement of Bucholz, who is planning to retire after four terms in office. “With the support of Fred Bucholz and some of the other countywide officials who are up for re-election, it’s been great and exciting,” Holder-Youngberg said Thursday. “It’s the right fit for me. And they believe it’s the right fit for that department.” Bucholz said Holder-Youngberg — a social media manager who previously worked as a Realtor — is well qualified to run the recorder’s office, which is the custodian of all the county’s land records. “Her father was a contractor,” Bucholz said. “She grew up in Naperville and read plats when she was young. She’s been in real estate. She has management experience. “I think she’s got the credentials to be a good recorder,” he said. Almiron, who is expected to face Holder-Youngberg during the GOP primary next March, said he believes his credentials make him “a great fit” for the seat. “I am running because I want to continue serving my community in a way that utilizes my professional experience,” said Almiron, an attorney with experience in real estate law. If elected, Almiron said he wants to build on the modernization and stability that Bucholz brought to the recorder’s office. He also would research the best practices for recorder of deeds offices throughout the country. “I want to establish best practice standards for the DuPage County recorder’s office,” he said. “I want the office to follow best practices.” Khan is making another bid for the recorder seat after losing to Bucholz in 2016. “Politics is a passion for me,” Khan said. “It’s a calling.” Khan, a self-employed IT professional, said the theme of his campaign is “experience, reform and diversity.” He said his key issues include term limits and consolidating the recorder’s office with another county office. “The recorder’s office should be abolished,” Khan said. “It should be merged with the treasurer’s office.” Ultimately, he said, his goal is to “work for the common people and save them money.”)

https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2019/jun/26/what-republicans-must-do-to-take-the-house/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: On recruiting, there have been similar successes. In places that Republicans need to win, they have recruited top tier candidates who give them the absolute best shot to do so. Candidates like Nicole Malliotakis in the 11th District of New York, Ashley Hinson in the 1st District in Iowa, Evelyn Sanguinetti in the 6th District of Illinois, Kathy Landing in the 1st District of South Carolina and Amanda Makkei in the 13th District of Florida. The National Republican Congressional Committee has done a phenomenal job finding strong candidates willing to run in the most important districts and it is clear that it is placing a priority on increasing the number of women in the Republican caucus. This has typically been an elusive recruiting goal at the NRCC, but Mr. Emmer and his team have had unparalleled success.)

— LGBTQ Pride flags vandalized in possible hate crime at Wicker Park church – MORGAN GREENE (DIERSEN: To what extent does your church promote LGBTQ activity?

My critics/opponents in Wheaton who have lots of religious, government, political, and/or financial clout hint/imply/argue/shout that they determine who churches in Wheaton a) accept and b) do not accept.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: In a letter posted to the church’s website, Glombicki addressed the congregation and said the church was “working hard to ensure the safety of all people at WPLC including our queer siblings.” “As a congregation, our work continues,” Glombicki said in the letter. “While preaching the love of all people each week might seem a bore, while it may seem like the city is welcoming to all sexual orientations and gender identities, and while it seems like something like this would never happen in Wicker Park, our message of radical welcome declaring this congregation ‘Reconciling in Christ’ in 2006 still needs amplification in the here and now.” Wicker Park Lutheran Church has a longstanding history of welcoming all to worship, affirming since 2006 that all people, of all sexual orientations and gender identities, are welcome to become members of the church. “We believe as people of faith that it’s about love — not just tolerance but acceptance and inclusion,” Glombicki said Tuesday night. “We continue to live out and widen those circles of love in all that we do here.” At this Sunday’s 10 a.m. service, hundreds of small rainbow flags will be placed in the lawn area near the flags “as a sign of love.” “As a congregation, each year we celebrate the diversity that God has created,” Glombicki said. This Sunday will be about remembering the 50th anniversary of the Stonewall riots and celebrating more than a decade spent as a church embracing people from all backgrounds: “We know that love is the final word and we will continue to make that the final word as we live out our ministry here.”)

— Toni Preckwinkle reverses decision to retire — aide says she will seek fourth term in 2022 – Rachel Hinton (DIERSEN: If you are retired, what if you had reversed your decision to retire? In 1997, when I was 49 years old, my Democrat GAO superiors made it extremely clear to me that if I did not take their early retirement “offer,” they would do whatever they felt was necessary to get rid of me long before I would be eligible for regular retirement 6 years later. Previously, they a) had given me unfair performance expectations and appraisals; b) had always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes; c) had not promoted me beyond GS-13; d) had gotten rid of my mentor in 1987 who had promoted me in 1986, who had gotten me assigned to audits of IRS in 1986, and who hired me in 1980; e) had kept me off audits of IRS for all but 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for GAO; and f) had forced me to take a $19,568 (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980.)

When I transferred from IRS to GAO in 1980 when I was 31 years old, my Democrat GAO superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinated did not want me to transfer, but failing that, they wanted me to transfer as a GS-4 Step 1 (currently $33,591/year) intern, that is, to suffer a $60,001/year (64%) pay cut in today’s dollars. They painted what GAO Analysts do as being a unique “trade or occupation.” They would not have done that if I had been a Democrat, minority, female, or veteran. They viciously demonized, denigrated, and condemned the fact a) that I had worked for IRS for almost 9 years, the last 5 1/2 years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 levels, currently $82,579-$93,592/year, b) that much of what IRS Revenue Officers do is similar to what GAO Analysts do, c) that I had passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, d) that I had earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976, and e) that I had almost completed the requirements for a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul. They were furious that I transferred with me almost 12 years of federal seniority, 30 days of unused vacation days, and 130 unused sick days.)

— Lake Forest, Lake Bluff officials proceed with caution while preparing for recreational marijuana in Illinois – DANIEL I. DORFMAN  (DIERSEN: Your mayor and your city council members and your county board chairman and your county board members should ASAP call for a vote on the sale of pot and ASAP announce that they will vote against the sale of pot. I urge Wheaton Mayor Phil Suess and Wheaton City Council members Michael Barbier, Erica Bray-Parker, Suzanne Fitch, John K. Rutledge, and Todd Scalzo and the new North District Council member (soon to be Christopher J. Zaruba) to a) call for a vote on the sale of pot in Wheaton ASAP and b) vote NO on the sale of pot in Wheaton. I urge DuPage County Chairman Dan Cronin and DuPage County Board members Donald Puchalski, Ashley Selmon, Sam Tornatore, Elizabeth Chaplin, Peter “Pete” DiCianni, Sean Noonan, Greg Hart, Brian Krajewski, Julie Renehan, Grant Eckhoff, Tim Elliott, Mary FitzGerald Ozog, Sadia Covert, Dawn DeSart, James Healy, Robert Larsen, Sheila Rutledge, and James Zay to a) call for a vote on the sale of pot in unincorporated DuPage County ASAP and b) vote NO on the sale of pot in unincorporated DuPage County.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: In Lake Bluff, village board members were scheduled to address a resolution in late June that would prohibit businesses wanting to offer recreational marijuana products from starting up in the village until officials can craft and agree on appropriate regulations, village officials said recently. Lake Forest officials, meanwhile, are planning to host an upcoming workshop, where, they said, they plan to address different issues related to recreational marijuana use. As part of the resolution in Lake Bluff, village board members would direct the Lake Bluff Plan Commission and Zoning Board of Appeals to make recommendations to the board regarding possible regulations affecting recreational cannabis businesses. “State law requires that we allow medical cannabis facilities, but we have the power to ban recreational cannabis facilities,” said Glen Cole, assistant to the village administrator in Lake Bluff. Medical marijuana dispensaries already are permitted to operate in certain portions of the village once a special-use permit is granted, Cole said. During a meeting in early June, Village President Kathy O’Hara said officials plan to consult with village attorneys as they go about developing regulations and weigh the ramifications of legalized recreational marijuana use in Illinois. “We are going to push the pause button,” O’Hara said. “I am going to be bringing back to the board for discussion what best fits our community and where we want to go with this.” The upcoming workshop in Lake Forest also should allow city officials the opportunity to weigh the possible effects of legalized marijuana use in the community, said City Manager Jason Wicha. “We’ll see some policy direction from the city council on how they want to proceed,” Wicha said of the meeting. Wicha said Lake Forest staff members still are reviewing the specifics of the bill that awaits Pritzker’s signature, but he said the city believes provisions are in the bill that could prevent marijuana dispensaries from coming to Lake Forest. “I know that is something that the council is going to want to look at,” he said.)

— OUTSTANDING: Towns should send a message on marijuana – Bill Deckard, Winfield
https://www.dailyherald.com/discuss/20190624/towns-should-send-a-message-on-marijuana
(FROM THE LETTER: So, recreational marijuana will soon be legal in Illinois. But as the Daily Herald helpfully reminds us in their lead article on June 17 and in their editorial on June 19, there’s nothing to stop local cities, towns or villages from outlawing the sale of marijuana within their own city limits. Communities have done just that with things like video gambling and various “adult” businesses, so why not add marijuana to the list? Wouldn’t it be great if a significant number of Illinois communities chose not to profit from this deadly trade? If you are a city council member and have opposed the legalization of marijuana, why not do the courageous thing and vote against allowing its sale in your jurisdiction? As for the rest of us, let’s let our city officials know where we stand. One of the worst things about legalizing marijuana is the message it sends to young people, that getting high is no big deal. Keeping it off the store shelves in your municipality may mean foregoing a few tax dollars, but it will get the message to your children that smoking dope is not a good thing.)

— Wait, Where Did Our New Hire Go? An abrupt change of heart after saying yes to a job can have career repercussions years later—here’s how to navigate this delicate decision – Sue Shellenbarger (DIERSEN: How many job offers did you have when you earned your bachelor’s degree? I accepted the only job offer that I got, it was from Firestone’s regional office: Retail Sales Manager in Firestone’s Chicago Heights store. Employers were discouraged from offering me a job because I was draft bait. They did not believe that my application for a financial hardship draft deferment would be approved. My Firestone job did not really require a college degree. The store manager disapproved of my following demographics: Republican, draft avoider, German American, and Missouri Synod Lutheran. He refused to let me start until I passed a probationary period working for the Firestone Store in Gary, Indiana. After I had worked for him for 7 months, he rudely fired me when I gave him my 2-week notice that I had accepted a job offer from Oldsmobile.)

I did yard work and delivered newspapers 1962-1964; washed dishes 1964-1966; and cleaned golf shoes, chipped slag, and pumped gasoline during the summer of 1966. What work experience did you gain while you attended college? I delivered mail 1966-1969 and worked on an automobile assembly line and as a security guard in 1970.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: 1. Get work experience in high school (and college, if you go). Ironically, the most important first step may have nothing to college. The best way to build work skills is to work. The best way to find out what kind of work you like (and hate) is to work. The best way to inform your postsecondary choices is to work. Get whatever work experiences you can—site visits, job shadows, client-related projects, internships and summer jobs. Try to get paid where you can—you’ll need the money. A growing number of high schools are using the Imblaze app from Big Picture to manage student internships. Over 14 million college students use the Handshake network to find internships (and then jobs) with more than 800 corporate partners.)

— Don’t Go to College Too many young adults emerge from universities with so little. Why not learn a trade instead? – MICHAEL WARREN DAVIS (DIERSEN: When you were in high school, were you viewed as being “college material?” When I was in high school, I was not viewed as being “college material.” Neither of my parents had attended college. My father was the first of his ancestors to earn a high school diploma. My mother never attended high school. I spent my junior and senior years and the summer in between washing dishes for the minimum wage in the basement of the S.S. Kresges in Chicago Heights. I just barely made into the upper 20% of my class. My ACT score was only 24. I was 1-A for draft notwithstanding the fact that my eyesight could not be corrected to 20/20, I had partial red/green color blindness, and I had Osgood-Schlatter disease (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osgood%E2%80%93Schlatter_disease).)

NEW YORK TIMES
— 18 Questions. 21 Democrats. Here’s What They Said. (DIERSEN: What questions do you want to ask candidates? I want to ask candidates what they would do if elected a) to promote individual responsibility, that is, to discourage dependency on government and to discourage dependency on charity, b) to promote traditional marriage and traditional family, that is, to discourage LGBTQ activity, c) to promote the right to life, that is, to discourage abortion, d) to promote compliance with America’s immigration laws, that is, to discourage illegal immigration, e) to promote conservative principles, that is, to discourage booze, gambling, pot, and other vices, f) to promote Second Amendment rights, that is, to discourage erosion of Second Amendment rights, and g) to promote equal opportunity, that is, to discourage patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation for opposing the aforesaid?

WASHINGTON POST
— Trump administration threatens furloughs, layoffs if Congress doesn’t let it kill personnel agency – Lisa Rein (DIERSEN: Of course, Trump knowns that the 150 employees who would be gotten rid of will be Republican, White, male, older, and/or non-veteran. Of course, during the 1990s, when Newt Gingrich cut GAO’s budget dramatically, Gingrich knew that the employees who GAO would get rid of would be Republican, White, male, older, and/or non-veteran like me.

(FROM THE ARTICLE: The Trump administration is threatening to furlough — and possibly lay off — 150 employees at the federal personnel agency if Congress blocks its plan to eliminate the department. The Office of Personnel Management is preparing to send the career employees home without pay starting on Oct. 1, according to an internal briefing document obtained by The Washington Post. The employees could formally be laid off after 30 days, administration officials confirmed. The warning of staff cuts is the administration’s most dramatic move yet in an escalating jujitsu between Trump officials and Congress over the fate of the agency that manages the civilian federal workforce of 2.1 million.)

SALISBURY POST

According to my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes, a) none of the jobs that I had were good, b) they would never stoop to take the jobs that I did, and c) I was grossly overpaid. I did yard work and delivered newspapers 1962-1964; washed dishes 1964-1966; cleaned golf shoes, chipped slag, and pumped gasoline in 1966; delivered mail 1966-1969; worked on an automobile assembly line and as a security guard in 1970; sold tires, automotive services, and major appliances 1970-1971; pumped gasoline 1971-1972; collected delinquent taxes 1971-1980; and audited federal agencies 1980-1997.)

I earned a) a job-related bachelor’s degree when I was 21 in 1970 and job-related master’s degrees when I was 27, 31, and 48, b) job-related professional certifications when I was 30, 32, 41, 45, 47, and 48, and c) a job-related professional license when I was 32.

Republican Party of Illinois decision, my U.S. Senators and their staff members and my U.S. Representatives and their staff members made it very clear that they did NOT want to hear my complaints about political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation in the federal government. All my critics/opponents, all their operatives and all their dupes promote patronage and political affiliation discrimination and reject the decision in Rutan v. Republican Party of Illinois. My Democrat IRS and GAO superiors treated me like I was part of a plot to stop them from hiring, retaining, and promoting young Democrat minorities and young Democrat females. They were fully aware of the arguments that Thompson, Jim Edgar, and Lee Daniels made in Rutan that government employers should be allowed to engage in patronage and political affiliation discrimination.)

— Landlords Oppose Trump Plan to Evict Undocumented Immigrants – Lola Fadulu and Zolan Kanno-Youngs (DIERSEN: Landlords make money off of tenants at the expense of nearby homeowners. How would you react if landlords wanted to build subsidized housing in your precinct?) 
https://www.nytimes.com/2019/06/17/us/politics/public-housing-immigrants.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Landlords and local officials across the country say a White House proposal to eject undocumented immigrants from subsidized housing would displace some of their most reliable tenants and add major financial strains to an already cash-strapped system. Officials with the Department of Housing and Urban Development, prodded by hard-liners like Stephen Miller, President Trump’s top immigration adviser, say the proposal, which would prohibit households with at least one unauthorized immigrant from living in federally subsidized housing, is needed to ensure that only verified citizens receive the benefits. But landlords and local public housing administrators who would have to evict as many as 108,000 people receiving benefits say the plan would, in essence, add immigration enforcement to their responsibility of providing shelter to some of the nation’s most vulnerable families. Undocumented immigrants, they say, generally pay the rent on time, in part out of fear of attracting attention and referrals to law enforcement.)

CNN
— He didn’t have a computer growing up. Now he’s CEO of Google – Kaya Yurieff (DIERSEN: Ever-increasingly, Democrats and RINOs glorify, praise, and promote those who are or were citizens of foreign countries.)
https://www.cnn.com/2019/06/17/tech/sundar-pichai-google-ceo-boss-files/index.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Pichai wouldn’t own a dedicated computer until he moved to the United States and attended Stanford University on a scholarship. But then the rest was history. He graduated from Stanford with a master’s in engineering and later went on to get an MBA from the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania. Pichai worked at Applied Materials and McKinsey before joining Google in 2004. There, he held a variety of roles, including overseeing Chrome, product chief of Google and head of the Android operating system. He became CEO in 2015. When asked if he believes the American dream is still alive, Pichai said he still thinks America is a “land of opportunity.” “I still think that’s true today,” he said. “But I think we need to work hard to make sure it is true.” A big part of that is ensuring immigrants have a path to succeed. Pichai has called on Congress to protect Dreamers and has advocated for high-skilled immigration.)

They stress that they got MTRCC to crush me when I ran for MTRCC Treasurer in 2004.)
