SPRINGFIELD STATE JOURNAL REGISTER
— AUGUST 16, 2012 FLASHBACK: A bunch of political info — daily – Bernard Schoenburg  
(UPDATE: In 2015, my critics/opponents gerrymandered my DuPage County Milton Township Precinct 9 in Wheaton. In 2016, I started putting together and sending out a GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletter each and every evening in addition to each and every morning. Since 2004, those newsletters have included links to more than 414,800 articles and information on many upcoming events. In 2021, my critics/opponents stopped me from raising funds from DuPage Republicans so that DuPage Republicans could help sponsor Wheaton’s Independence Day parade and fireworks.)
https://gopillinois.com/uncategorized/november-17-morning-edition-6/?highlight=schoenburg
(FROM THE ARTICLE: (FROM THE ARTICLE: There are lots of websites that compile political news, and I think it’s time I share one that I find quite interesting. There are lots of websites that compile political news, and I think it’s time I share one that I find quite interesting. It’s at www.gopillinois.com , and, as you can tell by its address, it has a Republican flavor. That is an understatement reinforced with the comments added by the compiler himself — DAVID DIERSEN of Wheaton. He introduced a recent UPI story about Republicans’ views on the drought and wildfires by saying: “Democrats blame everything bad, including bad weather, on Republicans, especially on Republicans who are conservative, White, male, older, non-poor and non-veteran.” And talking of a New York Times article about a photographer arrested while on assignment in the Bronx, Diersen wrote that since 2000, he has been thrown out of, barred from, or not advised of news conferences “by Democrats, Democrat plants, RINOs (Republicans in name only), their operatives, and their dupes.” Thus, if you don’t want to read some very pointed comments, you may not want to go to gopillinois.com. But you would be missing a treasure of links to the day’s news and opinion. Diersen, 63, is a retired federal employee who became the Illinois editor of a national GOP website in 2000, and since 2004 has put out his own Illinois compilation every day. There’s usually about 50 articles daily, he says. He’s generally up by 3 a.m. He says he spends at least 10 hours a day on this passion of his, with no pay, and has put out links to more than 117,000 articles. As his comments above hinted, party regulars don’t always greet his work with relish. He includes dissident voices within the GOP tent, and some whose credibility is questionable. But he puts it all out there. He’s a GOP precinct committeeman, and he believes in people having information. He also wants to help elect Republican candidates who “will defend and advance the party’s platform.” The site makes available plenty of Diersen history, too, including how his “liberal Democrat superiors,” in his view, forced him to take early retirement at 49 from the U.S. General Accounting Office, “because of his opposition to race and gender based preference and his participation in a class action lawsuit” on that subject. He wouldn’t mind my telling you that he also passed his CPA and Certified Internal Auditor exams on first attempts more than three decades ago. Agree or disagree with him, but Diersen provides a bunch of interesting information — every day.)

— Former executive accuses American Express of firing him for being White. Ex-employee, company enter mediation over EEOC complaint. – James Varney
(COMMENT: Of course, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes side with American Express.)
https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2021/nov/21/former-executive-accuses-american-express-firing-h/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A former American Express executive has entered mediation with the financial services company over his federal complaint alleging he was fired for being White and opposing the firm’s diversity agenda. Brian Netzel, a 62-year-old former client manager in Arizona, filed the complaint late last month with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. He entered mediation with American Express on Thursday. “On October 30, 2020 AmEx unceremoniously terminated my employment as part of a ‘diversity’ policy that rewarded company executives for making their departments less ‘white,’’ his EEOC complaint states. “My termination was the direct result of me being an older white male, a demographic the company specifically sought to reduce in managerial positions like my own, and in direct retaliation for my stated opposition to AmEx’s racially discriminatory and hostile policies.” Mr. Netzel said he was fired by a higher ranking executive who profited from his termination because the company is awarding bonus points for having more people of color. American Express initiated training based on critical race theory and subsequently fired Mr. Nextel after the killing of George Floyd by Minneapolis police in May 2020, according to Mr. Netzel and company documents made public by Christopher Rufo of the Manhattan Institute.)

— Police officer fired for donating to Rittenhouse defense roars back after not-guilty verdict, wants job back – CHRIS ENLOE
(COMMENT: I should write a book about what would have happened if I had not taken my GAO Democrat superiors’ early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years old. I would not have been eligible for regular retirement until I was 55 in 2003. They made it very clear that if I did not take their “offer,” they would make my next 6 years a living hell. Previously, they had a) given me bad job assignments, unfair performance expectations, and unfair appraisals, b) always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes, c) did not promote me beyond GS-13, d) got rid of my mentor in 1987, e) kept me off audits of IRS for all but 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for GAO, and f) forced me to take a $20,361 (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980. They focused on getting my supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates who were the following to hate me: Democrat, minority, female, younger, LGBTQ, veteran, disabled, moderate, liberal, non-Christian, non-Protestant, non-German American, those who had less work experience, less education, fewer professional certifications, and/or no professional licenses, those whose spouse had little or no income, those who had dependents, those who were not married, those whose ancestors had not been in America for a long time, those who had financial problems, those who had health problems, etc. All my GAO supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates were at least one of the aforesaid and most of the aforesaid were many of the aforesaid. I my book, I would focus on those who demonstrated the most hatred against me.)

— Misinformation About Kyle Rittenhouse Case Floods Social Media, TV Networks – ZACHARY STIEBER
https://www.theepochtimes.com/mkt_morningbrief/misinformation-about-kyle-rittenhouse-case-floods-social-media-tv-networks_4116349.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Kyle Rittenhouse shot three black men. Kyle Rittenhouse traveled across state lines with a gun. Kyle Rittenhouse had an AK-47. These are three examples of false information being spread about Rittenhouse, whose trial ended last week with his acquittal. Prominent influencers, including lawmakers and reporters, are sources of some of the misinformation—possibly disinformation—leaving experts troubled. On CBS’ “Face the Nation” on Sunday, reporter Mark Strassman falsely said Rittenhouse “drove in from Illinois armed for battle.” On CNN’s “Cuomo Prime Time” on Friday, Harvard University professor Cornell William Brooks falsely said Rittenhouse was carrying an AK-47. The Independent falsely reported late last week that Rittenhouse shot three black men. Rittenhouse, 17 years old at the time, shot three men, two fatally, with an AR-15 in Kenosha, Wisconsin, on Aug. 25, 2020. All were white, as is Rittenhouse. The gun was bought by a friend and was picked up by the teenager, who resided in Illinois, from a home in Kenosha.)

(COMMENT: I graduated debt-free from NIU in 1970 with a bachelor’s degree in management and owning a 1969 Dodge Charger SE. But of course, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes stress that was much easier to do back then. The money a) for tuition and books at UIC 1966-1968, b) for tuition, books, and room and board at NIU 1969-1970, and c) for a new 1968 Oldsmobile 442 in 1967 and a new 1969 Dodge Charger SE in 1968 came from what I earned working part-time for the Park Forest Post Office 1966-1969. My parents provided me with room and board in their home in Crete 1966-1968, weekends during my first semester at NIU in 1969, and the summer of 1969.)

When did your ancestors immigrate to America? Where did they live in America? Why did they immigrate to America? All my ancestors immigrated during the 1840 and 1850s. They always lived in northeast Illinois. They immigrated because of the problems at the time in what is now Germany.)

THE HILL
— Instead of a female expansion, America should retire our archaic draft once and for all – REP. VICKY HARTZLER (R-MO.)
(COMMENT: My biggest mistake in my life was my avoiding the draft. I got student draft deferments 1966-1970 and a financial hardship draft deferment 1970-1971. I should write a book about those who have used my avoiding the draft against me the most. I would focus on the adverse actions that a) my Democrat Post Office superiors took against me 1966-1969, b) my Democrat Firestone superior took against me 1970-1972, c) my Democrat IRS superiors took against me 1971-1980, and d) my Democrat GAO superiors took against me 1980-1997. Further, I graduated from NIU in August of 1970 with a bachelor’s degree in management. Employers were under increasing pressure to hire minorities, females, and veterans. Employers saw me as being draft bait. They did not believe that my application for a financial hardship draft deferment would be approved. I accepted the only job offer that I got, to be the Retail Sales Manager in Firestone’s Chicago Heights store. The job did not really require a bachelor’s degree. Immediately after my application was approved in February of 1971, Oldsmobile offered me a job that I accepted. That resulted in my Firestone Store boss rudely firing me. But Oldsmobile withdrew its job offer saying that it had just agreed to stop hiring Whites to settle an EEOC complaint. That resulted in my accepting a job offer from IRS.)

— The key flaw in the Wyoming GOP’s case against Liz Cheney. Among the problems with the Wyoming GOP’s rejection of Liz Cheney: She has a conservative voting record in a party that’s indifferent toward voting records. – Steve Benen
(COMMENT: Those “Republicans” who have taken adverse actions against me reject one or more of the following planks in the Republican Party platform: traditional marriage/family, right to life, immigration, illegal drugs, Second Amendment, and/or equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving). I should write a book about the aforesaid “Republicans” and the planks that they reject.)

Paul Gosar, Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz and a number of other lawmakers who are seen as staunch Trump allies. Cheney has also received solid grades from prominent conservative groups, including the Susan B. Anthony List and the National Rifle Association.)

— To Understand Inequality, Look to the 9.9 Percent – Eyal Press
(COMMENT: I should write a book about those who have hinted/implied/argued/shouted the loudest that I owe my income and my net worth to my UNFAIRLY BENEFITING from my being White, male, healthy, non-veteran, non-church member, heterosexual, married, childless, federal employee for almost 30 years, federal retiree for more than 24 years, baptized, raised, and confirmed as a Missouri Synod Lutheran, 100% German national origin, my ancestors have been in America since 1844, Crete resident 1948-1972, Wheaton resident since 1978, etc.)
https://www.nytimes.com/2021/11/18/books/review/the-99-percent-matthew-stewart.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: In his new book, “The 9.9 Percent,” Matthew Stewart focuses on the wealthiest one-tenth of Americans, a “new aristocracy” whose aggregate wealth is four times greater than that of everyone else. A minimum of $1.2 million in assets is required to enter this exclusive club and Stewart writes that the threshold will almost certainly rise by the time his book is published. It’s a club to which white people are eight times more likely to belong than people of color. But what ultimately unites its members is less the size of their bank accounts than a mind-set, Stewart contends. At its core lies “the merit myth,” a shared belief that the affluent owe their success not to the color of their skin or the advantages they’ve inherited but to their talent and intelligence. Under the spell of this conviction, Stewart argues, the privileged engage in practices — segregating themselves in upscale neighborhoods, using their money and influence to get their children into elite colleges — that entrench inequality even as they remain blithely unaware of their role in perpetuating it.)

(COMMENT: My Democrat GAO superiors and supervisors painted themselves as being champions of parents. I should write a book about them and how they used my wife and I giving up trying to have children, our not adopting, and our not becoming foster parents to take adverse actions against me. They stressed the 4-page article about us in Money Magazine’s February 1978 issue in which we stated our intent to have children and they hinted/implied/argued/shouted that my wife and I had lied. They painted my wife and I as being disgusting selfish DINKs (double income, no kids). They painted themselves as being GOD-LIKE because they had children, because they had adopted, and/or because they were foster parents. They hinted/implied/argued/shouted that if my wife and I had children, adopted, or became foster parents a) my wife would NOT have been able to keep her job with the U.S. League of Savings Institutions and she would NOT have earned a bachelor’s degree in finance from DePaul in 1986 and b) I would NOT have passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, NOT gotten hired by GAO in 1980, NOT earned a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980, NOT passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981, NOT became a licensed CPA in 1981, etc. The adverse actions that they took against me included a) forcing me to retire in 1997 when I was 49 years old, b) giving me unfair job assignments, performance expectations, and appraisals, c) always ranking me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes, d) not promoting me beyond GS-13, e) getting rid of my mentor in 1987, e) keeping me off audits of IRS for all but 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for GAO, and f) forced me to take a $20,361 (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980. They would not have taken the aforesaid adverse actions against me if I had been a Democrat, minority, female, younger, and/or veteran.)

— The Parents Right Amendment – KURT LASH
(COMMENT: My outstanding parents had me baptized as a Missouri Synod Lutheran (MSL) in 1948, raised me as a MSL, and had me confirmed as a MSL in 1962. They sent me to Trinity Lutheran Grade School in Crete 1953-1961 and then to Hope Lutheran Grade School in Park Forest 1961-1962 to stay with the Missouri Synod. Further, my parents were 100% German national origin. I should write a book about my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes who have demonized me, denigrated me, and condemned me the most because of the aforesaid. I would focus on those who have lots of religious, government, political, and/or financial clout in Wheaton, in Milton Township, in DuPage County, and in Illinois.)
https://www.newsweek.com/parents-right-amendment-opinion-1649539

— Not Your Parents’ Career—Or Is It? Parents Exert Significant Influence On Kids’ Career Choices – Mark C. Perna
(COMMENT: Neither of my outstanding parents attended college. My father was the first of his ancestors to earn a high school diploma. He worked in the office of a nasty chemical plant in Chicago Heights, almost always worked second jobs to pay the family’s bills, and died suddenly of heart failure in 1969 when he was 47 and I was 21. Because he had brittle type 1 diabetes from age 14, his doctors discouraged him from going to college because that would cause him too much stress. He frequently said his not having a college degree harmed his career opportunities. My mother never attended high school.)

(COMMENT: I have been the GOPUSA Illinois Editor since 2000; NOT the GOPUSA DuPage County Editor, NOT the GOPUSA Milton Township Editor, and NOT the GOPUSA Wheaton Editor. Ever-increasingly, government and political news and commentary of interest to Illinois, DuPage County, Milton Township, and Wheaton voters comes from anti-religious, anti-conservative, and/or anti-Republican sources. This year, those anti-religious, anti-conservative, and anti-Republican sources did NOT report that that Democrats, Libertarians, Greens, Independents, and RINOs had stopped DuPage Republicans from helping sponsor Wheaton’s Independence Day parade and fireworks. Last year, they did NOT report that in June, it was Democrats, Libertarians, Greens, Independents, and RINOs who had great success in promoting LGBTQ in downtown Wheaton.)
https://www.editorandpublisher.com/stories/exploiting-the-local-news-desert,207894
(FROM THE ARTICLE: In recent years at least 1,400 local news publications, most of them digital, have begun to fill America’s large and growing local news desert. But are they really “greening” that desert by filling it with legitimate local news? Or are they just trying to exploit it financially and politically?)

POLITICO ILLINOIS
— In 2018, Pritzker spent $171 million of his personal fortune to unseat Rauner. Griffin donated $22.5 million to Rauner for that race, and millions more in his 2014 run for governor. In 2020, Griffin spent nearly $54 million to defeat the graduated income tax measure that Pritzker spent $58 million to support. Griffin’s spokesman confirmed his boss will bankroll a challenge to Pritzker. The four Republicans so far in the June 28 primary are state Sen. Darren Bailey, former state Sen. Paul Schimpf, businessman Gary Rabine, and venture capitalist Jesse Sullivan. The big question mark: Will Reps. Adam Kinzinger or Rodney Davis throw their hat in the ring? Either of them would likely get Griffin’s nod. Not on the list is Todd Ricketts. He just stepped down as Republican National Committee finance chair, but a source close to the Cubs co-owner said his exit from the RNC was long planned and that he is not making a play for the governor’s mansion. Democrats might like the idea of Griffin in the midterm mix. A race between Pritzker and anyone Griffin backs could energize the top of the ticket.

DUPAGE POLICY JOURNAL
— Open book: Salary of Glenbard Township High School District 87 teacher Kathy Holmberg
(COMMENT: Since 1966, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have hinted/implied/argued/shouted that the federal government overpaid me. In today’s dollars, GAO paid me $132,845/year in 1997, IRS paid me $97,395/year in 1980, and the Post Office paid me $17.93/hour in 1969. In my defense, 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. Since 1997, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have hinted/implied/argued/shouted that my Civil Service Retirement System (CSRS) pension, currently $54,864/year, is too generous. In my defense, my CSRS pension is dramatically less because my Democrat GAO superiors forced me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years old and took many adverse actions against me before that. Further, my Social Security should be $6,570/year. But it is only $2,190/year because I get a CSRS pension.)

NEW YORK TIMES
— Why Wokeness Will Fail – BRET STEPHENS
(COMMENT: Ever-increasingly, to be woke is to be anti-law enforcement, anti-Trump, anti-conservative, anti-patriotic, anti-Republican, anti-American, anti-White, anti-male, anti-older people, anti-heterosexual, anti-traditional marriage/family, anti-non-poor people, anti-gun owners, anti-Christian, anti-Protestant, anti-Italian American, anti-German American, and/or anti-those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time.)
https://www.nytimes.com/2021/11/09/opinion/social-justice-america.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The problem with the allegation isn’t that it’s flatly wrong: America’s past is shot through with racism and, as Faulkner put it, “The past is never dead. It’s not even past.” But the allegation is also incomplete, distorted, ungenerous to former generations that advanced America’s promise, and untrue to the country most Americans know today. Wokeness operates as if there had been no civil rights movement, and that white Americans hadn’t been an integral part of it. It operates as if 60 years of affirmative action never happened, and that an ever-growing percentage of Black Americans don’t belong to the middle and upper class (and that they are, incidentally, concentrated in the American South). It operates as if we didn’t twice elect a Black president and recently bury a Black general as an American icon. It operates as if, in city after city, American police forces aren’t led by Black police chiefs and staffed by officers of diverse backgrounds. It operates as if white supremacy is still being systemically enforced, while ignoring the fact that a previously marginalized ethnic minority, namely Asian Americans, enjoys higher income levels than white Americans. Above all, Wokeness pretends that incidents such as George Floyd’s murder, which are national scandals, are actually national norms. They aren’t, despite current injustices. Most Americans, I suspect, not only sense the falseness of the allegation. They are, increasingly, insulted by it. The insult turns to injury when it comes to the solutions Wokeness prescribes, and in the way that it prescribes them. This doesn’t just mean efforts like “abolish the police” that are so baldly destructive that voters quickly sense their danger. It’s in subtler prescriptions, too.)

AUSTIN AMERICAN STATESMAN
— Democrats must confront their privilege – David Brooks
(COMMENT: I should write a book about the success that Democrats and RINOs have had in taking over DuPage County, Milton Township, and Wheaton. Their success was shown last year by their tremendous promotion of LGBTQ in downtown Wheaton. Their success was show this year by their stopping Republicans from helping sponsor Wheaton’s Independence Day parade and fireworks.)
https://www.statesman.com/story/opinion/2021/11/09/brooks-democrats-must-confront-their-privilege/6337368001/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: One of the Democratic Party’s core problems is that it still regards itself mainly as the party of the underdog. But as the information-age economy has matured, the Democratic Party has also become the party of the elite, especially on the cultural front. Democrats dominate society’s culture generators: the elite universities, the elite media, the entertainment industry, the big tech companies, the thriving elite places like Manhattan, San Francisco and Los Angeles. In 2020, Joe Biden won roughly one-sixth of the nation’s counties, but together those counties generate roughly 71% of the nation’s GDP. As the Democrats have become more culturally and economically dominant, many people at tippy-top private schools and super-expensive colleges have flamboyantly associated themselves with the oppressed. Thankfully, that has moved society to more aggressively pursue social and racial justice. Unfortunately, a tacit ideology — sometimes called wokeness — has been grafted on to this pursuit. It includes the notions that society is essentially a zone of conflict between oppressor and oppressed groups, that a person’s identity is predominantly about group identity and that slavery is the defining fact of American history. Because they dominate the cultural commanding heights, including some departments of education and the largest teachers unions, progressive views permeate schools, museums, movies and increasingly the public stances of large corporations. The Republican Party, like many right-populist parties across the Western world, has become a giant vessel of resistance against cultural, urban and information-age elites. Glenn Youngkin, the Republican who was just elected governor of Virginia, expressed that resistance when he said, “I believe parents should be in charge of their kids’ education.” When Democrats seem to be magnifying the education establishment’s control of the classroom and minimizing the role of parents, there’s going to be a reaction. Some of the reaction is pure racism, but a lot of it is pushback against elite domination and the tacit ideology. The results of last Tuesday’s elections show again that resistance against the elites can be a powerful force propelling Republicans to victory. In the final weeks leading up to Youngkin’s victory, education became one of the top issues for Virginia voters. The results also put the Donald Trump phenomenon in a new perspective. Trump was necessary to smash the old GOP and to turn the party into a vanguard of anti-elite resistance. But by 2020, with his moral degradation and all the rest, he was also holding back Republicans. If Republicans can find candidates who oppose the blue oligarchy but without too much Trumpian baggage, they can win over some former Biden voters in places like Virginia and New Jersey. Democrats would be wise to accept the fact that they have immense social and cultural power, and accept the responsibilities that entails by adopting what I’d call a Whole Nation Progressivism. America is ferociously divided on economic, regional, racial and creedal lines. The job of leaders is to stand above these divides and seek to heal them. The job of leaders is not to impose their values on everyone else; it is to defend a pluralistic order in which different communities can work out their own values.)

— UChicago Professor Dorian Abbot’s MIT Lecture Canceled After DEI Opinions Spark National Controversy – Basil Egli
https://chicagomaroon.com/article/2021/11/8/uchicago-professors-mit-lecture-canceled-dei-opinions-spark/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Abbot has been a figure of national controversy since August, when he co-wrote the Newsweek article with Stanford University professor Iván Marinovic. The op-ed expressed concerns about the increasing emphasis on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) in many colleges and universities. Such initiatives, Abbot and Marinovic argued, are made at the expense of academic excellence and merit, thus actively harming the value of American institutions. The op-ed compared the implementation of DEI curriculums to the rise of Nazi Germany, as “an ideological regime obsessed with race came to power and drove many of the best scholars out.” EAPS chair Robert van der Hilst cited this comparison as one of his key reasons for cancelling the lecture. The authors suggested that DEI should instead be replaced with another standard: Merit, Fairness, and Equality (MFE). The authors described MFE as a method, “whereby university applicants are treated as individuals and evaluated through a rigorous and unbiased process based on their merit and qualifications alone.”)

(COMMENT: GAO audits IRS. I should write a book about those who did not want GAO to assign me to audits of IRS.

I had passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979. I had earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976. I had almost completed the requirements for a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul and I completed those requirements in 1980. I passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981. I became a licensed CPA in 1981. But those who did not want GAO to assign me to audits of IRS succeeded until 1986 when the GAO manager who had hired me got me assigned to audits of IRS and promoted me to GS-13, currently $102,188/year. But then, in 1987, those who did not want GAO to assign me to audits of IRS succeeded in forcing him to retire, and at the end of 1988, they succeeded in keeping me off audits of IRS for the rest of my GAO career and forced me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997.)
