LISLE TOWNSHIP REPUBLICAN ORGANIZATION
— The Lisle Township Republican Organization is outraged by recent comments made by our newly elected State Representative Anne Stava-Murray. Impugning the residents of Naperville who have worked tirelessly to make Naperville a great place to live for people of all races and religions is reprehensible. Rep. Anne Stava-Murray’s baseless attacks on Naperville highlight her lack of interest in serving her constituents. She has stated that she is already running for another office even before she begins her term in the General Assembly. If she is so disinterested in serving and holds her constituents in such disdain she should resign and let someone who wants to work for all the residents be the State Representative from the 81st District. On behalf of her constituents and all the residents of the City of Naperville, we demand an apology from Rep. Stava-Murray and call on her colleagues in the General Assembly to publicly
censure her extremist attacks. – Jay Fisher, Chairman, LTRO

SPRINGFIELD STATE JOURNAL REGISTER
— Springfield police set to start camera program with public – Crystal Thomas
https://www.sj-r.com/news/20190119/springfield-police-set-to-start-camera-program-with-public
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Springfield will soon join several Illinois cities that have a voluntary program in which residents can register their private cameras to help out police. Police Chief Kenny Winslow told the City Council this past week that the registration will be available through the Springfield Police Department’s website in February. Residents who own private exterior cameras would enter information, like their address and a way to contact them, into a portal on the website. That information would be uploaded into a spreadsheet, which would plot all of the registered private security cameras on a map. Police officers would have access to this information and would be able to contact camera owners afterward if a crime occurred nearby. “We can send an alert via email or have detectives just call,” Winslow said. Winslow said the camera owners would be able to send in the footage through evidence.com, which is an encrypted hosting site that the city already uses. Or, a police officer could review the footage with the homeowner. Winslow said police are more likely to apprehend a suspect if they get information quickly after a crime. Plus, Winslow said the camera network could act as a deterrent to crime happening in the first place. “It will hopefully lead to more investigatory leads on crimes, or hopefully a better apprehension rate or maybe even a reduction (in crime),” Winslow said. “We just have to figure it out how to better market it to have good participation.”)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: After I’d been writing a column for a few years, a male boss gave me a T-shirt depicting the Furies swooping. He didn’t mean it as a compliment. The three sisters, the “infernal goddesses” of ancient mythology born from the blood shed by Uranus when he was castrated by his son, were known for relentlessly hounding men. But the Furies took vengeance on wicked men who hurt women and swore false oaths. So I took it as a compliment. The capital has suddenly been infused with the spirit of the Furies. After many false springs and discouraging backlashes, we are finally experiencing a revolutionary assertion of women’s power that is transforming Congress. “Kill Bill”-style, the fiery Democratic women keep coming, driven by vengeance against the wicked man in the White House with the history of hurting women and swearing false oaths.)

— How younger generations get their news and why that matters – Shannon Casas (DIERSEN: Facebook is a Democrat/Libertarian/Green/RINO website. Those who run Facebook want those who are religious, conservative, and/or Republican to lose. Nevertheless, ever-increasingly, and outrageously, religious, conservative, and Republican activists, candidates, elected officials, party leaders, major donors, political consultants, etc. rely on Facebook to communicate. Ever-increasingly, they erroneously assume that if they post something on Facebook, everyone will see it. Ever-increasingly, they stop publishing websites, stop updating their websites, and stop sending out emails. That is exactly what Democrats, Libertarians, Greens, and RINOs want them to do.)
https://www.gainesvilletimes.com/columnists/shannon-casas-how-younger-generations-get-their-news-and-why-matters/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A little more than 10 years ago, distributing news by way of Facebook, Snapchat or any other social media was unheard of; it’s one of the most transformational shifts in the way we consume news. And it’s a driving force in how vastly different news consumption habits are and will be for millennials and younger. Older generations seek out news, for example setting aside time to read the morning paper, while millennials’ are more likely to bump into a story on social media. They don’t necessarily spend less time reading news. Some 85 percent of them report that keeping up with news is at least somewhat important to them and 69 percent get news daily, according to the American Press Institute. But they consume that news throughout their day across multiple platforms — a click on a Facebook link here, viewing an Instagram post there, watching a video on YouTube their friend shared, and so forth. And the large majority of it is done on their cellphones. I’ll point out here that much of this column was tapped out on my phone. “News and information are woven into an often continuous but mindful way that Millennials connect to the world generally, which mixes news with social connection, problem solving, social action, and entertainment,” according to the American Press Institute research. This trend continues with the next generation, those born after 1995: “Media consumption for Gen Z’s is embedded in their daily lives so they are not even consciously making a decision to consume content,” according to a Forbes article.)

 

NORTHWEST ARKANSAS DEMOCRAT GAZETTE
— Age discrimination: a moral embarrassment – HELAINE OLEN (DIERSEN: Ever-increasingly, Republicans, Whites, men, and non-veterans should be advised that they will be flushed down the toilet if they are not earning at least $100,000/year by age 25, $200,000/year by age 30, $300,000/year by age 35, $400,000/year by age 40, $500,000/year by age 45, $600,000/year by age 50, $700,000/year by age 55, $800,000/year by age 60, $900,000/year by age 65, and $1,000,000 year by age 70.)
https://www.nwaonline.com/news/2019/jan/20/age-discrimination-a-moral-embarassment/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: When you dive into popular literature on retirement, you could be forgiven for thinking there are hordes of Americans in their late 50s or early 60s desperate to leave the paid workforce as soon as they can. Blog posts and academic studies beg people to hold off on collecting Social Security until the age of 70 so they can maximize their benefits. There is Bloomberg Businessweek’s article “Not prepared for retirement? Here’s a solution. Don’t retire.” And Inc.’s “Want to Retire Early? Here are 3 Reasons You Probably Shouldn’t.” Few listen. The most common age to file for Social Security is 62. Why? Well, many of these people are not downscaling their professional lives or exiting the workforce entirely because they want to do so. They are likely victims of age discrimination. That’s the searing conclusion that can be drawn from a recently released joint Urban Institute-ProPublica analysis of data from the Social Security Administration and National Institute on Aging’s joint longitudinal Health and Retirement Study. The researchers behind the report found a majority of workers over the age of 50 are likely at some point to be shoved out of their jobs, either via an overt firing or resignation under pressure of demotions, loss of future benefits or deteriorating work conditions. The damage to their bottom line is often permanent. When many find new positions, they are often jobs that are significantly below both their skill levels and previous pay grades, such as the former corporate executive ProPublica discovered working at a print shop, as a bartender, and staffing the front desk at a local gym. Making matters worse: The retirement prospects for many younger baby boomers and members of Generation X look dismal as the shift from workplace pensions to the do-it-yourself 401(k) has left millions of people without the resources to maintain even a semblance of their current lifestyle in retirement. As a result, surveys say a majority of Americans plan to work well past the traditional retirement age, with many claiming they will collect a paycheck till they drop.)

DUPAGE POLICY JOURNAL
— Stava-Murray says Naperville has ‘white supremacist policies’ – W.J. Kennedy (DIERSEN: Who has charged you with benefitting from ‘white supremacist policies?’ My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have always hinted/implied/argued/shouted that were it not for ‘white supremacist policies,’ I would never had been able to earn 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.)
https://dupagepolicyjournal.com/stories/511723792-stava-murray-says-naperville-has-white-supremacist-policies
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Just days into her new job as a state representative, Anne Stava-Murray (D-Naperville) has managed to cause a stir among her constituents by characterizing her hometown of Naperville as having “white supremacist policies.” Her remarks about Naperville came in a Facebook response to a post by Felicia Palumbo, who in early January wrote that “Naperville is the biggest bullies … horrible.” “I know and I am so sorry,” Stava-Murray replied on her “Anne Stava-Murray for U.S. Senate” Facebook page. “I actually wanted to move to Oak Park but stayed to work on my community. Our history of white supremacist policies is ongoing.” Stava-Murray did not respond to multiple requests from the DuPage Policy Journal seeking substantiation for her comments—any evidence that Naperville ever, or currently has, white supremacist policies. A white supremacist Naperville was news to Mayor Steve Chirico. “I would never characterize Naperville in this way,” Chirico told the Policy Journal, “but I realize that people have many different perceptions and views.” Twenty-three-year Naperville resident Richard Strawbridge said he couldn’t imagine where Stava-Murray’s comments were coming from. “I’m unaware of any so-called white supremacist policies,” Strawbridge, an attorney, said, “and I’m very active in the local community. “In fact,” he continued, “my impression is that the Naperville community as a whole tries to be very fair and inclusive. Are there individual idiots out there who buck this trend? I’m guessing there are. But to paint the entire community with this broad and defamatory characterization is unworthy of a public official in the absence of some actual evidence. These kinds of comments from any part of the political spectrum only serve to divide people and to impeded constructive dialogue.” Stava-Murray is expected to appear, with other members of the General Assembly, at a legislative forum hosted by the Naperville Area Homeowners Confederation on Saturday at the Naperville Municipal Center. “Every January, we invite our local state senators and representatives to share their views on what we can expect from Springfield in the upcoming year,” an announcement of the event on the Homeowners website said. “With representatives from both sides of the political aisle, and several new faces, this should be a great opportunity to get to better know those who hold our statewide future in their hands.” The 32-year-old freshman lawmaker also announced before even being sworn in as a House member representing the 81st District that she would challenge U.S. Sen. Dick Durbin for his seat in 2020. She supports the full range of progressive causes, according to her Senate campaign website. That includes Medicare-For-All, “actually affordable healthcare reform that doesn’t give away money to for-profit millionaires” and Wear Red for Ed, Families, “proper education funding that doesn’t result in mass striking for teachers to receive basic resources.” She also endorses “providing support for the LGBTQIA community as they have among the highest rates of being murdered by a member of the public.” In November, Stava-Murray defeated incumbent David Olsen (R-Downers Grove) in a close race. The 81st District includes parts of Bolingbrook, Darien, Downers Grove, Naperville and Woodridge.)

In Illinois, “Republican” political consultants who are really Democrats, Libertarians, Greens, or RINOs want Republicans to lose. What are they advising Republican candidates to do? From what I hear/see, they are advising Republican candidates to: — Demonize, denigrate, and condemn Trump, but if not that, distance yourself from Trump, — Distance yourself from Trump supporters, the Republican Party, the Illinois Republican Party (IRP), your Republican county party organization, your Republican township/ward party organization, your Republican Precinct Committeeman/Captain, and Dave Diersen and his GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails, — Do not promise to defend or advance the traditional family plank in the IRP platform, — Do not promise to defend or advance the right to life plank in the IRP platform, — Do not promise to defend or advance the immigration plank in the IRP platform, — Do not promise to defend or advance the Second Amendment plank in the IRP platform, — Do not promise to defend or advance the illegal drugs plank in the Republican Party platform, — Do not promise to defend or advance the equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) plank in the Republican Party platform, — Do not promise to oppose the promotion of LGBTQ activity, — Do not promise to oppose the promotion of abortion, — Do not promise to oppose the promotion of mass/illegal immigration, — Do not promise to oppose the promotion of the abolition or the First and Second Amendments, — Do not promise to oppose the promotion of booze, gambling, pot, and other vices, and — Do not promise to oppose the promotion of patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, or age discrimination.)

CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— How to control the overwhelming fire hose of news – Clarence Page (DIERSEN: According to my critics/opponents, all government and political news and commentary is fake except for the government and political news and commentary that they put out or bless. Since 2000, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have focused on a) stopping me from putting GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails together and sending them out and b) stopping everyone from reading those emails.)
https://www.chicagotribune.com/news/opinion/page/ct-perspec-page-donald-trump-news-anxiety-vladimir-putin-shutdown-0116-20190115-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: What can we do about “news anxiety,” which many in the psychiatric community say is a real malady, particularly in recent years? If you feel afflicted by it, mental health professionals advise limiting news or social media exposure, especially of the more sensational anxiety-inducing sort. Psychologist Deborah Serani of Adelphi University, writing in Psychology Today, advised steering yourself away from sensational headlines and cable TV news and toward stories that offer depth, explanations and possible solutions to problems at hand. That’s healthy advice. After reporting the latest scandal or atrocity, it is reassuring to know that there is a rational path out of the problem at hand, if only we can persuade our political leaders to follow it.)

For me, it is their promising to oppose anything that promotes welfare, dependency on government, dependency on charity, LGBTQ activity, abortion, mass/illegal immigration, weakening of First or Second Amendment rights, booze, gambling, pot, or other vices, patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and/or age discrimination.)

— BEYOND DISGUSTING, BEYOND OUTRAGEOUS: E-Verify absent from immigration policy talks – S.A. Miller (DIERSEN: To oppose E-Verify is to oppose enforcement of America’s immigration laws. To oppose E-Verify is to shout a) that you are a Democrat or a Democrat plant, a Libertarian or a Libertarian plant, a Green or a Green plant, or a RINO and b) that you 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, and/or anti-those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time.)
https://m.washingtontimes.com/news/2019/jan/15/e-verify-absent-from-immigration-policy-talks/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: E-Verify has existed since 1996 and is mandatory in eight states. A 2016 study published in the IAZ Journal of Development and Migration found reduced numbers of immigrants living in the U.S. illegally in states with mandatory E-Verify. “E-Verify is a much more efficient way to achieve the goals that are claimed for the border wall,” said Edwin Rubenstein, chief researcher for the nonpartisan Negative Population Growth. An estimated 11.3 million immigrants live in the U.S. illegally with about 8 million working, accounting for about 5 percent of the workforce, according to a 2016 analysis by the Pew Research Center. Compared to their share of the workforce, immigrants living in the U.S. illegally were overrepresented in the agriculture (17 percent) and construction (13 percent) sectors, and in the leisure and hospitality industry (9 percent), the center found. The Chamber of Commerce dropped its opposition to E-Verify in 2013 but only with the stipulation that current employees be exempt. The agriculture industry’s reliance on labor from immigrants living in the U.S. illegally has long kept farm state Republicans from backing mandatory E-Verify without a major expansion of guest worker programs. The farm lobby was divided last year when mandatory E-Verify was included in a House GOP package of immigration reforms, the Securing America’s Future Act. The bill was defeated 192-231, with 41 Republicans joining every Democrat in voting no. While making his border security pitch Monday to the American Farm Bureau Foundation’s annual convention in New Orleans, Mr. Trump stressed that a border wall wouldn’t keep out seasonal workers. “I’m going to make that easier for them to come in and to work the farms,” he said. “But we’re keeping the wrong ones out, OK?” But he’s not talking about E-Verify the way he did on the 2016 campaign trail, when he pledged to “strengthen and expand” the program. With Mr. Trump in the White House, the system has gotten short shrift. It was left out of Mr. Trump’s “four pillars” plan to combat illegal immigration. Only a handful of the 565 companies in the Trump Organization, the president’s business empire, have signed up to use E-Verify, according to a Washington Times analysis. At times, Democrats touted E-Verify as a solution. Mr. Schumer last week listed E-Verify among the top measures for border security that he said were “ironically” suspended during the partial government shutdown. “Border patrol agents are going without pay, E-Verify is off-line, immigration cases are on hold, new immigration judges are not being hired,” he said. In 2009, Mr. Schumer said a “biometric-based employer verification system with tough enforcement and auditing is necessary to significantly diminish the job magnet that attracts illegal aliens to the United States.”)

https://cis.org/Huennekens/Identifying-SuperSanctuaries
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Chicago, Ill. According to Pew, over 425,000 illegal aliens live in the Chicago area. The Office of the Mayor, currently Rahm Emmanuel, operates a website that celebrates Chicago’s status as a sanctuary city. The “Sanctuary City Supportive Resources” website offers advice on how to access city resources and lists a number of participating advocacy groups for immigrants. Additionally, the city created the Chicago KeyCity program to help illegal immigrants assimilate into city life. KeyCity acts as a Chicago-specific identification card. According to the sanctuary city supportive resources website: “KeyCity is an optional, valid, government-issued ID card offered to all Chicago residents that will unlock many of the great things our City has to offer. The CityKey card is a photo identification card available to all Chicago residents which will not convey information about national origin or legal status. For many residents who do not have an identification card, CityKey can serve as an official government issued identification and can be used to access city services. Additionally, your CityKey can be used as a library card for Chicago Public Libraries, as well as a Ventra card. Presenting your CityKey at particular cultural institutions and local businesses can also give you a discount. CityKey is now available for free to all Chicago residents.” Chicago unveiled a program in 2014 that awarded city high school students with scholarships to attend community college for free. Those scholarships extend to illegal-alien students, as well, allowing them the opportunity to study at two-year colleges for free. A USA Today article noted that while illegal-alien students were eligible for the scholarships, other city students, such as those attending charter and parochial schools, were not. Chicago allows non-citizens to vote in school board elections. Chicago aggressively defends its sanctuary laws protecting criminal aliens. Emmanuel has continued to fight the Justice Department over federal funds withheld from Chicago because of their policies. In addition to those policies, Chicago has a number of added benefits in place to help integrate illegal aliens, making it a super-sanctuary.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: But some of Gabbard’s most fiery remarks against same-sex marriage in years past, as well as her active campaign to promote “traditional marriage” legislation, have drawn intense scrutiny from the left. In years past, she several times referred to LGBTQ activists as “homosexual extremists,” a view that echoes that of her father, Mike Gabbard, whom a New Yorker profile of the congresswoman described as having long been “Hawaii’s leading opponent of the gay-rights movement, an energetic and often brusque activist who stood ever ready to denounce what he called ‘the radical homosexual agenda.’” “So, she’ll co-sponsor bills supporting LGBTQ rights, but still personally thinks we’re icky,” wrote Parker Malloy, the editor-at-large for the liberal media watchdog group Media Matters for America, on Twitter. “In any case, it’s really weird to see self-described leftists line up to support her instead of more progressive candidates. That’s all.” Gabbard, who has apologized for her previous comments, was a visible force against same-sex marriage, and in 2004 spearheaded a fight in the state against a same-sex union measure. “To try to act as if there is a difference between ‘civil unions’ and same-sex marriage is dishonest, cowardly and extremely disrespectful to the people of Hawaii,” she said at the time. “As Democrats, we should be representing the views of the people, not a small number of homosexual extremists.” Gabbard then also blasted Massachusetts’ passage of same-sex marriage legislation, making it the first in the nation to recognize gay marriage. Speaking on behalf of the Alliance for Traditional Marriage and Values, a group headed by her father, she said the Massachusetts marriage law would cause a ripple effect across the country. “It is highly likely that federal judges will soon be tearing apart our U.S. Constitution in order to force same-sex marriage down the throats of the people of Hawaii and America,” Gabbard said. “The only way to protect traditional marriage in Hawaii and throughout our country, the only way to stop activist federal judges from rewriting our constitution, is by the passage of the Federal Marriage Amendment.”)

SOUTH COOK NEWS
— With nothing left to lose, Ford Heights property taxpayers revolt
https://southcooknews.com/stories/511720665-with-nothing-left-to-lose-ford-heights-property-taxpayers-revolt
(FROM THE ARTICLE: In Chicagoland’s poorest suburb, just three miles from the Indiana border, property owners have discovered the most effective strategy yet for avoiding Illinois’ highest-in-the-nation property taxes. Stop paying. Facing astronomical bills on real estate that’s now worthless at best, Ford Heights home and business owners have literally nothing to lose by ignoring them. Nearly 1,000 Ford Heights property tax bills totaling $2.3 million weren’t paid last year, according to an analysis of Cook County Treasurer records by South Cook News. That’s in a village of just 2,763 people, 987 households and 729 residential properties. More perspective: the village’s total 2017 budget was $1.8 million. The 996 Ford Heights properties with delinquent taxes will be up for public auction in May; willing buyers can take them off the owners’ hands by making good with Cook County on what’s in arrears. That none will both explains the strategy’s genius, and the tragedy it reveals. In Ford Heights, real estate equity has ceased to exist. The concept of “homeownership” has been explicitly, violently eviscerated in this community. And it’s hardly the only one. Effective Tax Rate: 48% The 20 most expensive properties in Ford Heights in 2017 amounted to $6.6 million in alleged, collective property value and $1.07 million in property taxes due, according to Cook County. An analysis by South Cook News found that 13 of those 20 bills have not been paid, totaling $737,630 of the $1.07 million. The non-payers have their reasons.)

— Steve King will face disciplinary ‘action’ for white supremacy comments, GOP leader McCarthy says – Gregg Re
https://www.foxnews.com/politics/steve-king-will-face-disciplinary-action-for-white-supremacy-comments-gop-leader-mccarthy-says
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The House minority leader then took a shot at Democratic leaders, including House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who refused to condemn Michigan freshman Democratic Rep. Rashida Tlaib for making what Republicans charged was an anti-Semitic slur. Tlaib, who accused some Republicans of having a “dual loyalty” to Israel, had called Trump a “motherf–er” just days earlier — also without drawing condemnation from Pelosi. GOP leaders have also criticized Democrats for continuing to back former Minnesota Democratic Rep. and Democratic National Committee (DNC) deputy chair Keith Ellison, who became the state’s Attorney General earlier this year despite being accused of domestic violence. Ellison said his ex-girlfriend fabricated the accusations, even as Democrats argued that now-Associate Justice Brett Kavanaugh’s accusers should be believed.)

— 3 ways the Trump shutdown is specifically hurting LGBTQ people of all sorts – Daniel Villarreal
https://www.lgbtqnation.com/2019/01/3-ways-trump-shutdown-specifically-hurting-lgbtq-people-sorts/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: 1. It’s hurting LGBTQ-identified federal employees Yesterday, the LGBTQ media watchdog group GLAAD cited The Washington Post’s estimate that nearly 13,600 federal workers identify as LGBTQ, though the number could be much higher. LGBTQ people experience higher rates of poverty than their straight peers. So, for many poor, queer federal employees, a single missed paycheck could prove the difference between stability and homelessness or bankruptcy. . .2. It’s hurting LGBTQ-identified asylum seekers. . .3. It’s hurting LGBTQ-identified victims of identity theft and domestic violence.)

HARTLAND INSTITUTE
— FROM THE ARTICLE: The Constitution gave the federal government (very few) expressly identified and defined powers – and left the rest to the states (what the colonies would become) and We the People. Because they wanted less government – they gave the federal government only the powers the states by themselves couldn’t handle. To wit: Mexico is invading California, New Mexico, Arizona and Texas. Which is a geographical anomaly – only those four states share a border with Mexico. But from those states – the invaders invade the rest of the nation. It is not left to those four states to deal with the invasion. It is our national sovereignty that is under assault – so it is the national government’s responsibility to stop the invasion. – Stan Motley

Mine stress that I am no longer a TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois chairman, Wheaton Chamber of Commerce Government Affairs Committee member, Milton Township Republican Central Committee webmaster, Illinois Center Right Coalition Steering Committee member, American Association of Political Consultants Midwest Chapter board member, GAO employee, etc. They hint/imply/argue/shout that I am no longer the aforesaid because I am a White supremacist, Nazi, KKK member, hater, racist, sexist, bigot, and even worse things. Should I sue my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes?)
https://www.forbes.com/sites/jackkelly/2019/01/10/the-hiring-bias-that-nobody-talks-about/#3690ede16c77
(FROM THE ARTICLE: It’s a terrible feeling when you lose your job. To make matters worse, it is awful to be discriminated against because you’re out of work. Government data touts that we have broken records of having the lowest level of unemployment in decades. The statistics conveniently leave out those who have exhausted their unemployment claims and still haven’t found a new job. These people, who need the most help, are conveniently ignored and treated as if they don’t exist, especially since it ruins the narrative of full employment. Society shies away from discussing the unemployed—and especially the long-term unemployed (someone who is out of work for 27 weeks or more). In December 2018, there were 1.3 million long-term unemployed individuals. Yet, it is still one of those touchy taboo subjects that we all feel could happen to us and would prefer to avoid talking about it. Rationally, you’d believe that with full employment (and the accompanying challenge for companies to find qualified candidates), they would quickly scoop up anyone out of work. Sadly, this does not happen. There is a discrete, unspoken thought process amongst corporate executives that if someone is unemployed for a certain length of time, there must be a problem and they’d rather just pass on the candidate. An unrealistic expectation exists in which hiring managers feel that a person should have found a job within a reasonable time frame after being unemployed—and if they haven’t, something may be wrong with him. The bias against the unemployed is as common and pernicious as age discrimination.)

I don’t remember much else except being in the ICU with IVs in my arms. That first night, my blood sugar levels reached 976. The doctors said I could easily have fallen into a coma where my brain, kidneys and other organs would have been damaged, perhaps beyond repair. You have diabetes, said a doctor. “Diabetes? No! That’s impossible!” I reportedly told the docs in the ICU.)

— Dems look to chip away at Trump tax reform law – NAOMI JAGODA
https://thehill.com/policy/finance/424452-dems-look-to-chip-away-at-trump-tax-reform-law
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Already this year, New York Reps. Nita Lowey (D) and Pete King (R) have offered a bill to restore the full state and local tax (SALT) deduction, which was capped at $10,000 in the 2017 tax law. . .Efforts from Democrats to repeal the SALT deduction cap could in particular face resistance from Republicans, as well as from some on the left. Critics note the deduction largely benefits high earners. Maura Quint, executive director of the progressive group Tax March, said that her group doesn’t want to see “any stand-alone measure” to restore the full SALT deduction. She said lawmakers should focus on raising taxes on the wealthy before discussing the SALT deduction.)

In many ways, the IRP, the DuPage County Republican Central Committee (DCRCC), and the Milton Township Republican Central Committee (MTRCC) act like major donors and potential major donors have demanded that they a) dump Trump, b) dump the traditional family, right to life, immigration, Second Amendment, and other planks in the IRP platform, c) dump the illegal drugs and equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving), and other planks in the Republican Party platform, d) dump the MTRCC resolution against video gambling, and e) dump those who support the aforesaid. The DCRCC and the MTRCC have always acted like a potential major donor who I have sued has said that he will give the DCRCC and MTRCC lots of money but only when they get rid of me.)

— FRONT PAGE: Facebook, Twitter Turn to Right-Leaning Groups to Help Referee Political Speech Advisers on touchy issues include Tony Perkins’ Family Research Council, Grover Norquist’s Americans for Tax Reform and, on the left, the Southern Poverty Law Center – Kirsten Grind and John D. McKinnon (DIERSEN: Those on the left do not want me to include links in GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails to articles a) that promote the traditional family, right to life, immigration, Second Amendment, and other planks in the Illinois Republican Party platform, b) that promote the illegal drugs, equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving), and other planks in the Republican Party platform, c) that promote the Milton Township Republican Central Committee resolution against video gambling, and d) that oppose promoting LGBTQ activity, abortion, mass/illegal immigration, abolition of the First and Second Amendments, booze, gambling, pot, and other vices, patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation.)
https://www.wsj.com/articles/facebook-twitter-solicit-outside-groups-often-on-the-right-to-referee-political-speech-11546966779
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The world’s biggest social-media companies, under fire for failing to police content on their sites, have invited an array of outside groups to help them figure out who should be banned and what’s considered unacceptable. That solution is creating a new set of problems—public fights, complaints and legal battles. Silicon Valley giants Facebook Inc., Twitter Inc. and Google’s YouTube unit have made a concerted push to seek out input from hundreds of groups, a growing number of which lean to the right. The companies have become receptive to behind-the-scenes lobbying as well. Among the initiatives, Facebook has privately sought advice from the Family Research Council, a conservative Christian public-policy group, and its president Tony Perkins, according to people familiar with those meetings. Twitter’s Chief Executive Jack Dorsey recently hosted dinners with conservatives, including Grover Norquist, the founder and president of Americans for Tax Reform, which advocates for lower taxes. Advisers on the left include the Southern Poverty Law Center, a civil-rights group that keeps a list of hate groups. For users frustrated by the lack of clarity around how these companies make decisions, the added voices have made matters even murkier. Meetings between companies and their unofficial advisers are rarely publicized, and some outside groups and individuals have to sign nondisclosure agreements. And in many cases, posts that are hateful to one group are considered fair game—or even uncomfortable truths—to others on the opposite end of the spectrum, opening a whole new arena to continue the political and ideological fights that are often a staple of social media.)
