— DIERSEN HEADLINE: Pritzker promotes hatred of Trump by saying “The president is a xenophobe and a racist.”
https://www.northernpublicradio.org/post/pritzker-tells-journalists-we-need-you
(FROM THE ARTICLE: During his address, the governor also doubled down on his commitment to protect undocumented immigrants in Illinois. On Friday, President Trump said his administration is “strongly looking at” releasing thousands of detained migrants into so-called sanctuary cities. But Pritzker’s calling his bluff. “The president is a xenophobe and a racist…So when he makes threats like this, they’re upon that history,” Pritzker said. “The fact is we’re not going to ship 11 or 12 million people out of the country, no matter what Donald Trump says. I’m not going to let that happen in Illinois. It’s not going to happen in the United States.” He said Illinois will remain open to immigrants, despite threats from the White House.)
— Pritzker Tells Journalists ‘We Need You’ – DANA VOLLMER (DIERSEN: I should write a book about how since 2000 the following have treated a) me, b) my GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails, and c) my www.gopillinois.com website: activists, candidates, elected officials, party leaders, major donors, political consultants, etc. in Wheaton, Glen Ellyn, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois who state that they are religious, conservative, and/or Republican.)
https://www.northernpublicradio.org/post/pritzker-tells-journalists-we-need-you
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Governor J.B. Pritzker held his largest press conference over the weekend – and he’s promising media transparency under his administration. Speaking before more than a hundred journalists at the Illinois News Broadcasters Association’s annual spring conference in Normal, Pritzker said he’s committed to helping Illinois media tell the stories that matter. Pritzker said mutual respect between journalists and elected officials is critical in the era of “fake news.” “If we want our democracy to thrive, we must have a first amendment that thrives,” Pritzker said. “Those with political power must be extremely careful that when we disagree with what’s being said, we nevertheless fight for your right to get the information out.” Illinois Public Media reporters questioned Pritzker about the lack of cooperation from some state departments, namely the Illinois Department of Corrections and Department of Human Services. Pritzker said he’s still hiring new staff after the Rauner administration – and that he’ll step in when government officials are unresponsive.)ILLINOIS FAMILY ACTION

Politicians who have benefited from his open checkbook would certainly miss
him, too. Griffin, who has called himself a Republican, has given nearly $60
million directly to Illinois candidates (not including money given to political
action committees) since 2002, mostly within his party. But when a moderate,
probusiness Democrat faces a serious challenge from the far left, Griffin is
known to throw a (gilded) bone across the aisle. . .Top Political Beneficiaries

https://mynorthwest.com/1334678/dori-bill-and-melinda-gates-poll/?
(FROM THE ARTICLE:
According to the poll, 53 percent of people the PR firm talked to said that we
are not spending enough on homelessness “when they learned that homelessness
increased by nine percent [sic] between 2014-17, while spending on social
services had only increased by 2.4 percent.” That is the purest definition of a
push-poll question — where you phrase a question a certain way to get a desired
result. And they only got it barely above 50 percent even with that biased
phrasing. What the question doesn’t tell you is that the reason homelessness
has increased by 10 percent is because people have moved from all over this
country, because they’ve heard this is the best region in America to be an
addict.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: A
group known as the GU272 Advocacy Team has pushed through student government a
bill that would create a new $27.20 fee every semester for all Georgetown
undergraduates. The fee would go toward a reconciliation fund, which would be
overseen by a board of students and descendants of the 272 slaves sold in 1838.
They estimate the fund would generate more than $400,000 a year and would “be
allocated for charitable purposes directly benefiting the descendants of the
GU272 and other persons once enslaved by the Maryland Jesuits,” according to
the bill.)

patriotic, Republican, American, White, male, older people, rich people, gun
owners, German Americans, draft avoiders, and those whose ancestors have been
in America for a long time. Constructively, if not officially, members of the
following groups ARE PROTECTED: anti-Trump, anti-Protestant, anti-conservative,
anti-patriotic, anti-Republican, anti-American, anti-White, anti-male,

anti-draft avoiders, and anti-those whose ancestors have been in America for a
long time.)
https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2019/04/immigration_as_economic_warfare.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The
first aspect of this warfare is simple. The government institutes programs that
give special privileges to one group of people in the form of educational
access and benefits, exclusive contracts with the government, quotas within the
job market, and legal protections that are exclusive to those people. While
many of these benefits are subtle, on multigenerational timelines they
effectively destroy the unprotected group while ensuring the success of the
protected group. In addition to this, there is the selective enforcement of
laws and the absolution of some groups from many laws. However, the more
important aspect of this warfare is the collusion of immigrants to exclude
portions of the native population from the economy. This activity has two
facets — exclusion from the market and denial of service.)

Trump-haters want to get rid of you once and for all. What if I had claimed

northeast Illinois from what is now Germany. Of course, needless-to-say, my
critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have always used that
against me. In my defense, I stress that my grandfather on my father’s side
fought the Germans during WWI, that my uncles on my mother’s side fought the
Germans during WWII, and that my father would have fought the Germans during
WWII if he had not been 4-F. Further, according to http://dna.ancestry.com, my ancestry is 33%

courses. Nevertheless, I used my own money and my own time 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

https://www.dailyherald.com/news/20190330/how-waves-of-immigrants-are-overwhelming-asylum-process
(FROM THE ARTICLE:
Illegally crossing the border is a criminal offense, but asylum is a matter for
civil courts. And that is where change is most needed, says David Iglesias, a
Wheaton College professor who prosecuted many criminal cases between 2001 and
2007 as U.S. attorney for the District of New Mexico. “The laws haven’t
caught up,” says Iglesias, director of the Wheaton Center for Faith,
Politics and Economics. Some people seeking asylum might not meet the legal
requirements when it comes to race, religion, nationality, political opinion or
membership in a particular social group, but they still have a well-founded
fear of persecution due to gangs or violence in their homeland, Iglesias said.
Asylum is granted unevenly. Statistics from 2015 show that New York City
immigration judges denied 16 percent of asylum requests, while judges in
Atlanta denied 98 percent.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE:
Burnout is caused by chronic stress, not stressors, the Nagoskis say in their
book. It’s important to differentiate the two. Stressors are external: to-do
lists, financial problems or anxiety about the future. Stress, on the other
hand, “is the neurological and physiological shift that happens in your body
when you encounter [stressors],” the Nagoskis write. To fix burnout, people
need to address the stress itself. They must allow their body to complete its
stress response cycle. Instead, people tend to focus on stressors. “They assume
their stress will go away if they’re on top of things, if they’re accomplishing
things and constantly checking things off their to-do list,” Emily Nagoski
says.)

ROLL CALL
— Capitol Hill workplace watchdog issues repeat recommendations to Congress
New OCWR report urges Hill to join the rest of the country – Katherine
Tully-McManus (DIERSEN: Democrats run the federal government. Therefore, in
actuality, federal employees do NOT have the right to oppose the promotion of
dependency on government, dependency on charity, LGBTQ activity, abortion,
mass/illegal immigration, booze, gambling, pot, and other vices, abolition of
First and Second Amendment rights, patronage, reverse discrimination, age
discrimination, or retaliation.)
https://www.rollcall.com/news/congress/capitol-hill-workplace-watchdog-issues-repeat-recommendations-congress
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Last
year’s overhaul of the workplace complaint reporting and resolution system on
Capitol Hill addressed many recommendations from the Office of Congressional
Workplace Rights. But the watchdog group is not done yet. Its latest report
sent to House and Senate leaders earlier this month suggests further changes to
apply federal workplace standards to the legislative branch. Congress hasn’t
always chosen to apply to itself the same laws that the rest of the country
must follow. When it comes to Hill employee rights, the Congressional
Accountability Act of 1995 sets guidelines for the House, Senate and several
related agencies. It was originally passed to help ensure that Hill staffers
enjoy at least some of the same workplace and employment protections as
private- and most public-sector employees.)

— Strategic Human Capital Management is Needed to Address Serious Risks to
IRS’s Mission (DIERSEN: GAO audits IRS. I worked for IRS for almost 9 years,
the last 5 1/2 years at the GS-12 Step 1-5 levels, currently $8I,071-$91,880. I
transferred from IRS to GAO in 1980. I worked for GAO 1980-1997, the last 11
years of which at the GS-13 Step 1-10 levels, currently $96,403-$125,325/year.
I should write a book about those who have wasted, dismissed, belittled,
badmouthed, demonized, denigrated, and condemned that work experience the most.
They include IRS officials, GAO officials, and past and present U.S. Senators,
U.S. Representatives, their staffs, activists, candidates, elected officials,
party leaders, major donors, political consultants, etc. in Wheaton, in Glen
Ellyn, in Milton Township, DuPage County, Illinois who claim to be religious,
conservative, and/or Republican.)
https://www.gao.gov/products/GAO-19-176
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Fewer
individual and corporate tax returns have been audited in recent years, largely
because IRS doesn’t have the people it needs to enforce existing tax laws while
implementing new laws. As a result, billions of dollars in taxes go unpaid
every year. Enforcing tax laws, a High Risk area, is critical to promoting
voluntary compliance and collecting unpaid taxes. IRS’s workforce is the key to
addressing its challenges. Cultivating a well-equipped and engaged workforce
requires strategic human capital management that will help IRS focus its
current and future hiring needs. We made 6 recommendations to improve IRS’s
human capital management.)

— How Much Do You Know About IRS Audits? The more you understand about audits, the better prepared you’ll be – Jane Hodges (DIERSEN: Have you been audited? I should write a book about the success that Money Magazine and my Democrat IRS superiors had in 1978 in getting IRS to disallow my education deductions. They hinted/implied/argued/shouted that the graduate business and accounting courses I took a) were not job-related, b) did not help me carry out my job duties, c) qualified me for a “new trade or business,” d) were a distraction, and e) were taken by me to get a job in the private sector. They would not have done that if I had been a Democrat, minority, female, or a veteran.)

— Rejection Is Like Rocket Fuel Whether it’s college or anything else, use your defeats to power every future effort. – Andy Kessler (DIERSEN: What rejections have you suffered and what did those rejections motivate you to do? Rejections of my applications for promotions while I worked for IRS and GAO motivated me to earn a) 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. Rejections by TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois, Wheaton Chamber of Commerce, Milton Township Republican Central Committee, Illinois Center Right Coalition, and American Association of Political Consultants Midwest Chapter have motivated me to spend even more of my time and even more of my money putting GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails together and sending them out.)

Democrats run the federal government. Starting when I was 25 years old in 1973, my Democrat IRS superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates stressed to my IRS superiors that I had failed to meet their up-or-out deadline for their employees like me who were Republican, White, male, and/or non-veteran – I had failed to make GS-13 (currently $96,403/year) by age 25. I did not make GS-13 until I was 38 years old in 1986 and working for GAO.

Politics is nasty. If you have experience, your critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes ignore, dismiss, belittle, demonize, denigrate, and condemn your experience. I have been a member of the Milton Township Republican Central Committee (MTRCC) since 1999.

His top priority was hiring, retaining, and promoting young minorities and young females who were Ivy League graduates like he was, but who had a degree in public administration. Consequently, in GAO’s eyes, my 1970 bachelor’s degree in management from NIU WAS WORTHLESS, my 1976 MBA from Loyola WAS WORTHLESS, my 1980 master’s degree in accounting from DePaul WAS WORTHLESS, and my 1997 master’s degree in financial markets and trading from IIT WAS WORTHLESS.)

FORBES
— DIERSEN HEADLINE: Democrats and RINOs blame Republicans for the “racial wealth gap.” Democrats and RINOs want government to a) take income and assets away from Whites and b) give that income and those assets to minorities. Overwhelmingly, minorities are Democrats. Where did your income and assets come from? My income and assets came from working for the federal government for almost 30 years.

TENNESSEAN
— Mary Mancini’s ‘racist state’ gaffe is a setback for Tennessee Democrats and a gift to Republicans – David Plazas (DIERSEN: Of course, Democrats and RINOs want the leaders of all the states, counties, townships, municipalities, wards, and precincts in America to say that their political jurisdictions are full of Republicans who are White supremacists, Nazis, KKK members, haters, racists, sexists, bigots, and even worse things who should be gotten rid of once and for all.)

JDSUPRA
— Employment Decision Based On Employees’ Years Of Service Does Not Necessarily Violate ADEA (DIERSEN: During the 1980s and 1990s, the Democrats who ran GAO used Republican success in cutting GAO’s budget to justify getting rid of their employees who were Republican, White, male, and/or non-veteran who they had not promoted to GS-13 (currently $96,403) by age 25, GS-14 (currently $113,920) by age 30, GS-15 (currently $134,000) by age 35, and Senior Executive Service (currently $164,200) by age 40.)
https://www.jdsupra.com/legalnews/employment-decision-based-on-employees-28252/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The message of the Bryan decision is simple: if an employer can demonstrate legitimate cost savings measures, and the employer specifically targets those of a certain number of years of service as opposed to those of a certain age, the employer may be able to avoid ADEA liability for acts that seemingly affect ADEA protected older employees more than younger employees.)

CRAIN’S CHICAGO BUSINESS
— Casten defends Dem House as re-election foes start to circle After three months in office, the DuPage Democrat says a lot more is being accomplished than the fight over people like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez would suggest. – GREG HINZ
https://www.chicagobusiness.com/greg-hinz-politics/casten-defends-dem-house-re-election-foes-start-circle
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The new congressmen declined to comment on talk that Evelyn Sanguinetti, who served as lieutenant governor in the Rauner administration, is preparing to run against him and has begun lining up support. GOP sources also report that former state Sen. Karen McConnaughay is mulling a race. “It’s a democracy. People who want to run should run,” Casten said. But while the 6th District race almost certainly will be a national target for both parties next year, Casten said he’s focusing on his own priorities, such as sponsoring with neighboring Democratic Rep. Lauren Underwood to give taxpayers more time, until May 20, to file their annual tax return with the Internal Revenue Service. Sponsors say the extension is needed since IRS agents were not available to answer questions about the new tax law during the 5-week government shut-down. The bill is likely to pass the House soon, Casten said, but faces an uphill fight in the Senate. In the longer term, Casten said he’s working on legislation to restore full deductibility of state and local taxes—the so-called SALT reduction. But some in his party want to go a little slower amidst fears of a soaring federal budget deficit, he added. And such a bill almost certainly would be vetoed by President Donald Trump.)
