Anti-critical race theory parents say educators and parents in Loudoun County are ‘messing with the wrong parents’ – Kelly Laco (DIERSEN: Ever-increasingly, to send your child to a public school is to make your child 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.)

AMERICAN THINKER
— Which immigrants to let in? Commonality versus disharmony – Eric Utter
https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2021/05/which_immigrants_to_let_in_commonality_versus_disharmony_.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Today’s Democrats seem to want to screen out only those who would put America first and let in all others. It’s hard to imagine a bigger change than that…or one so obviously destructive to the nation and those that wish to come here because of their love for the freedom and opportunity it has traditionally stood for. Democrats obsessively focus on identity politics for similar reasons, and champion those who try to break our society apart, such as those who looted businesses, burned cities, toppled statues, and threatened all who dared to get in their way during last summer’s “mostly peaceful” riots. They know the nation’s demographics have changed so much that they can now cobble together a bare majority of people from identity and special interest groups– people who have no affinity for America other than its largess — and win national elections. Or steal them. (Screw you FaceBook, Twitter, Instagram, CNN, et. al., if you think you can dictate what everyone else is “allowed” to believe, think, or say.) The demographic tide moves inexorably in their direction, because of their own actions. They will do anything to get power over you and me …and keep it. And that tells you all you need to know about them. How we react to their calumny will tell them all they need to know about us.)

— Evangelical Lutherans Accept Self-Mutilation as Christian – Fay Voshell (DIERSEN: My outstanding parents had me baptized as a Missouri Synod Lutheran (MSL), raised me as a MSL, and had me confirmed as a MSL. 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 MSL. I should write a book about my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes who look down on, if not disapprove of, if not despise, if not hate MSLs. According to them, MSLs are “too conservative.” I would focus on those who have/had lots of religious, government, political, and/or financial clout in Wheaton’s West District, Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County’s 4th District, DuPage County, and Illinois.)

Further, that I should not include anything in GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters without their specific prior direction.

Not friendly media outlets promote individuals, organizations, companies, governments, and countries that are 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://coloradosun.com/2021/05/14/colorado-republicans-media-list-not-friendly/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The list comes amid the backdrop of debate at the Capitol this year over a media literacy bill aimed at ensuring Colorado students know how to identify trustworthy news outlets and disregard false information. House Republicans fought hard against the media literacy measure, worried that left-leaning sources would be prioritized. That’s despite the legislation having GOP support in the Senate. The measure, House Bill 1103, is awaiting Gov. Jared Polis’ signature. “I think there is this symbiotic relationship between the press and the legislators,” McKean said. “We can’t do what we do without you guys.”)

In my defense, I a) worked in Chicago Heights 1964-1966 and 1970-1972, b) in Park Forest 1966-1969, c) in Harvey 1972-1973, and d) in Joliet and the south side of Chicago 1973-1974. I bought a new town home in University Park in 1972, lived in it full-time 1972-1974 and part-time 1974-1976, and rented it out 1976-1984. While I worked for the Post Office 1966-1969, IRS 1971-1980, and GAO 1980-1997, many of my superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates were minorities. I should write a book about my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes who have little or no experience living near minorities, working for minorities, working with minorities, and/or supervising minorities.)

The Democrats who run the federal government require all their employees to take lots of diversity training. I worked for the Democrats who ran the federal government for almost 30 years. I should write a book about all the diversity training that I took. That training hinted/implied/argued/shouted that Republicans are White supremacists, Nazis, KKK members, haters, racists, sexists, bigots, and even worse things who should gotten rid of once and for all. That helps explain why federal employees who are Democrat do not want to work for, work with, or supervise federal employees who are Republican. Virtually all federal employees are Democrats.)

POLITICO ILLINOIS
— Who says Democrats don’t like gerrymandering? The new maps are out for General Assembly seats, and it’s a bloodbath for Republicans. – SHIA KAPOS
https://www.politico.com/newsletters/illinois-playbook/2021/05/24/its-a-remap-bloodbath-why-rodney-davis-voted-yes-a-year-after-george-floyd-492977
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Using population estimates that show declines downstate, Democrats have consolidated districts, forcing some incumbents — mostly Republicans — to face each other in 2022. (Here’s another version of the map.) The most dramatic is in the new 107th District, which could see a primary between four sitting Republican representatives: Dan Caulkins (R-101), Brad Halbrook (R-102), Blaine Wilhour (R-107) and Adam Niemerg (R-109). Political analyst Andrew Ellison has pulled together a map of what the new district could look like once approved. Republicans, who have spent weeks calling for an independent process, were quick to condemn the maps and called on Gov. J.B. Pritzker to veto them. “When politicians like the House Democrats are allowed to draw their own maps, they will only work to preserve their power,” House GOP spokeswoman Eleni Demertzis said. Democrats defended the maps: “This is a fair map that reflects the great diversity of our state and ensures every person receives equal representation in the General Assembly,” Sen. Omar Aquino, who chairs the Senate Redistricting Committee, said in WBEZ’s report. Ellison says other pairs play out this way: 46th District: Deb Conroy (D-46) and Deanne Mazzochi (R-47); 47th District: Amy Grant (R-42) and Seth Lewis (R-45); 50th District: Keith Wheeler (R-50) and Dan Ugaste (R-65); 51st District: Chris Bos (R-51) and Thomas Morrison (R-54); 87th District: Keith Sommer (R-88) and Mark Luft (R-91); 90th District: Tony McCombie (R-71) and Andrew Chesney (R-89); 99th District: Randy Frese (R-94) and C.D. Davidsmeyer (R-100); 108th District: Avery Bourne (R-95th) and Mike Murphy (R-99); and 115th District: Charles Meier (R-108) and David Friess (R-116). A few pairings of incumbents are happening in the state Senate, too. In the new 23rd District: Thomas Cullerton (D-23) and Suzanne Glowiak (D-24) would face each other; and in the 55th District: Jason Plummer (R-54) and Darren Bailey (R-55) would compete. Both of those are interesting for different reasons. Cullerton has been serving under the shadow of embezzlement charges. He goes to trial in February. And Bailey is running for governor. It will be a challenge if he has to worry about a state Senate primary, too. . .Amusing side note: There was chatter in Springfield that House Speaker Emanuel “Chris” Welch and House Minority Leader Jim Durkin’s districts were going to be combined. Not true, but their districts are close to each other. . .Stephens gains ground: Republican Rep. Brad Stephens (20th) was an exception among GOP House lawmakers. His seat gained ground in Chicago (from the 41st and 38th Wards) and Rosemont, where he is mayor. Relief for McConchie: The redraw of Senate Minority Leader Dan McConchie puts primary competitor Casey Urlacher in a different district.)

— How much money should you have to buy your first home? – Tanisha A. Sykes, Andrea Kramar (DIERSEN: What enabled you to buy your first home? I bought a new town home in University Park September 1972 when I was 24 years old. The down payment came from what I had earned a) working for the Firestone Store in Chicago Heights full-time August 1970-March 1971 and then part-time since March 1971 and b) working for IRS in Chicago and then in Harvey since June 1971. That money also enabled me to buy a new 1972 Corvette in October 1971 and to pay tuition and books for graduate business courses at Loyola starting in January 1972. I had graduated debt-free from NIU August 1970 owning a 1969 Dodge Charger SE. The money for tuition, books, and room and board came from what I earned delivering mail for the Park Forest Post Office November 1966-September 1969.)

— Should You Let Your Employee With Another Job Offer Leave? – Rachel Feintzeig (DIERSEN HEADLINE: When I graduated from NIU in 1970, I took the only job offer that I received; to be the Retail Sales Manager in the Chicago Heights Firestone Store. The job did not really require a college degree. Constructively, I served as the store’s salesman. Firestone’s district office hired me; the store’s manager would never have hired me. He disapproved of my avoiding the draft, my being a college graduate, my being Missouri Synod Lutheran, and my being 100% German American. He refused to let me start until I passed a 2-week probationary period working in Firestone’s Gary store. He rudely fired me when I gave him my 2-week notice in early 1971. I had accepted a job offer from Oldsmobile. But Oldsmobile withdrew that job offer saying that it had just agreed to stop hiring Whites to settle an EEOC complaint. The aforesaid directly resulted in my accepting a job offer from IRS.)

Many, if not most, and at times, virtually all of my superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates were veterans.

ILLINOIS LEAKS
— Judge Orders County-Wide Vote Recount In DuPage County – JOHN KRAFT & KIRK ALLEN (DIERSEN: Bob Grogan is losing by only 75 votes for DuPage County Auditor. If just 38 of the 522 registered voters in my precinct had voted for Grogan instead of White, Grogan would be wining. 38 in my precinct might very well have taken my advice as their Republican Precinct Committeeman to vote for Grogan instead of White if for the last 21 years, Democrat plants, Libertarian Plants, Green plants, Independent plants, and RINOs in the Milton Township Republican Organization, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, Illinois Republican Party, etc. had not focused on discrediting me as being “too conservative” and even worse things.)
https://edgarcountywatchdogs.com/2021/05/judge-orders-county-wide-vote-recount-in-dupage-county/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: In a May 12, 2021 Memorandum and Order, DuPage County Judge Craig R. Belford ordered a county-wide recount of the November 3, 2020, election results for the office of DuPage County Auditor. Petitioner Bob Grogan (R), Candidate for DuPage County Auditor, and Respondent Bill White (D), Candidate for DuPage County Auditor, are named in the complaint. The election was certified as White winning the election with a 75 vote margin of victory, with 491,067 votes cast. Grogan then exercised his right to examine for irregularities in a specified sampling of precincts. As a result of the examination at a particular polling place (containing three precincts) in Downers Grove Township, none of the ballots that were cast were initialed by an election judge, which is required by the Illinois Election Code. Grogan argued that the result of this, if the uninitialed ballots are declared invalid and not counted, Grogan would net 82 votes, which would exceed the 75 vote margin of victory of White. Based on this examination, Grogan asked for a county-wide recount. From the Order: “In construing the above provisions, the Illinois Supreme Court has been both explicit and resolute for more than a century: ” ‘statutes requiring election judges to initial ballots are mandatory, and *** uninitialed ballots may not be counted.’ ” “petitioner’s motion for a full recount us GRANTED, and this court hereby orders that a county-wide recount of the November 3, 2020, election for the office of DuPage County Auditor be conducted in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Agree Recount Order. . . During such recount . . . any in-precinct ballot that is not initialed shall be deemed defective and not counted.”)

Better yet, I should sue the aforesaid.)
https://www.jdsupra.com/legalnews/awareness-awokeness-and-affirmative-8399483/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: February was a busy month for Students for Fair Admissions Inc. (“SFFA”), an anti-affirmative action organization. On February 25, 2021, SFFA sued Yale claiming that Yale’s affirmative action admissions policy unfairly favors Black, Hispanic, Native American, and Pacific Islander applicants over white and Asian applicants. (This, despite the fact that the U.S. Department of Justice dropped a similar suit against Yale less than a month earlier.) Perhaps unsurprisingly, SFFA also sued Harvard College (in case you’re wondering, Harvard College is the undergraduate institution of Harvard University) back in 2014, claiming that Harvard’s admissions policy disadvantaged Asian American applicants. After a lengthy stay, the district court in that case found that Harvard’s policy was not unlawful and the First Circuit affirmed. On the same day that SFFA filed its lawsuit against Yale, it asked the Supreme Court to weigh in on its suit against Harvard. If the Supreme Court hears the case, it will be the first time since 2016 (when Justice Kennedy cast the deciding vote upholding an affirmative action program in Fisher v. University of Texas at Austin) —and the first time since conservatives gained a 6-3 majority—that the Supreme Court will decide an affirmative action case. While the Supreme Court has not decided whether it will hear the case, at least 20 amicus briefs have already been filed.)

— Nag Much? Facebook Releases New Pop-Up to Prevent So-Called Misinformation – Alexander Hall (DIERSEN: One reason why putting GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters together takes so much time is reading enough text of articles to decide to include or not include links to them in the newsletters.)
https://newsbusters.org/blogs/free-speech/alexander-hall/2021/05/14/nag-much-facebook-releases-new-pop-prevent-so-called
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Facebook has rolled out a new pop-up to dissuade users from sharing so-called misinformation. Facebook released yet another stopgap to prevent what could be seen by some as possible misinformation. “Starting today, we’re testing a way to promote more informed sharing of news articles,” Facebook Newsroom announced via Twitter on Monday. “If you go to share a news article link you haven’t opened, we’ll show a prompt encouraging you to open it and read it, Facebook Newsroom’s tweet included an attached screenshot showing a pop-up warning a hypothetical user: “You’re about to share this article without opening it. Sharing articles without reading them may mean missing key facts.”)

LOS ANGELES TIMES
— This job requires you to pay $1,800 for your own training – DAVID LAZARUS (DIERSEN: How much did you pay for your job-related education expenses? I paid lots of money for tuition and books to take job-related courses at UIC 1966-1968, NIU 1969-1970, Loyola 1972-1976, DePaul 1976-1980, Becker CPA Review 1978-1979, Roosevelt 1980-1981, and IIT 1992-1997. I spent lots of money for room and board at NIU 1969-1970. I paid lots of money for cars to get to/from classes. If I had not had a 1970 bachelor’s degree in business from NIU, Firestone Stores would not have hired me in 1970, Oldsmobile would not have offered me a job in 1971, and IRS would not have hired me in 1971. If I had not been taking graduate business courses at Loyola, IRS might not have promoted me in 1972, 1973, and 1974. If had not had a 1976 MBA from Loyola, if I had not been taking graduate accounting courses at DePaul, and if I had not passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, GAO would not have hired me in 1980. If I had not had a 1980 master’s degree in accounting from DePaul, if I had not passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981, and if I had not become a licensed CPA in 1981, GAO would not have promoted me in 1986. If I had not been taking graduate finance courses at IIT, my Democrat GAO superiors might have succeeded in forcing me to take their early retirement “offer” sooner than they did.)

RASMUSSEN REPORTS
— Liberal Media Viewers Are Misinformed About Crime in America
https://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/partner_surveys/liberal_media_viewers_are_misinformed_about_crime_in_america
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Fewer than 50 unarmed black suspects were killed by police last year and more people were killed with knives than with so-called “assault weapons,” but viewers of MSNBC and CNN are far more likely than Fox News viewers to get those facts wrong. A new Heartland Institute and Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey finds that 50% of Likely U.S. Voters who say MSNBC or CNN is their favorite cable news outlet believe more than 100 unarmed African Americans were fatally shot by police in 2020. By contrast, only 22% of Fox News viewers believe police shot more than 100 unarmed black people last year. Nearly a quarter of CNN viewers (24%) and almost one-in-five MSNBC viewers (19%) think cops fatally shot more than 500 unarmed black suspects last year, but only nine percent (9%) of Fox News viewers think so. Fox News viewers (60%) were about three times more likely than viewers of MSNBC (19%) or CNN (23%) to correctly estimate the number of unarmed black people shot and killed by police in 2020 as less than 50. Sixty percent (60%) of talk radio listeners also estimated the number correctly. About 1,500 homicides in the U.S. annually are committed with knives, while fewer than 500 are committed with rifles. However, 30% of Likely Voters think the annual number of homicides committed with rifles is more than 500, including 18% who believe more than 1,000 homicides a year are committed with rifles. Thirty percent (30%) of MSNBC viewers correctly estimated the number of homicides committed with rifles as between 100 and 500, as did 22% of CNN viewers and 19% of Fox News viewers. However, while 63% of Fox viewers underestimated the number of killings with rifles as less than 100, viewers of CNN and MSNBC were more likely to overestimate the number of homicides committed with rifles. Forty-three percent (43%) of CNN viewers and 40% of MSNBC viewers believe rifles are used in more than 500 homicides annually, compared to just 19% of Fox News viewers. Only 26% of talk radio listeners overestimated the number of homicides committed with rifles. . .“There is a strong correlation between a likely voter’s favorite television news outlet and his or her understanding of basic facts about police shootings and homicides involving rifles,” Justin Haskins of the Heartland Institute observed in an analysis. “Compared to viewers of Fox News, ‘another’ cable news outlet (such as The Blaze TV or Newsmax), and those who do not watch television news, viewers of CNN, MSNBC, ABC, CBS, and NBC were substantially more likely to overestimate the number of fatal police shootings of unarmed African Americans.” Thirty-four percent (34%) of Likely Voters say Fox News is their favorite cable news outlet, 20% say CNN, 17% say MSNBC, 19% say “another” network and 10% say they don’t watch cable news. Among Republican voters, Fox News is the overwhelming favorite (58%), while most Democrats are divided between CNN (34%) and MSNBC (29%). Among voters not affiliated with either major party, 27% say Fox News is their favorite cable news outlet, 15% say CNN, 12% say MSNBC, 30% say “another” network and 15% say they don’t watch cable news.)

I worked for IRS 1971-1980, the last 5 1/2 years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 levels, currently $85,935-$97,395/year. My other fact-checking qualifications include my becoming a Forensic Accountant in 1997, Certified Fraud Examiner in 1990, licensed CPA in 1981, Certified Internal Auditor in 1981, and CPA in 1979.)
