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.)

They painted what GAO Analysts do as being a unique “trade or occupation.” They would not have done that if I had been a Democrat, minority, female, or veteran. They viciously demonized, denigrated, and condemned the fact a) that I had worked for IRS for almost 9 years, the last 5 1/2 years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 levels, currently $81,071-$91,880/year, b) that much of what IRS Revenue Officers do is similar to what GAO Analysts do, c) that I had passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, d) that I had earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976, and e) that I had almost completed the requirements for a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul. They were furious that I transferred with me almost 12 years of federal seniority, 30 days of unused vacation days, and 130 unused sick days.)

https://www.politico.com/story/2019/01/17/freshman-house-democrats-government-shutdown-1110462
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The freshmen’s moxie has caught some veteran lawmakers by surprise. “I was talking to a senator last night. He said he was here 16 years in the House and never stepped foot on the Senate side,” Underwood said. “We’ve been here for two weeks, and I’ve been over twice, searching all around for Sen. McConnell to say: ‘Sir, do your job.’” The campaign hasn’t been flawless. At one point during their journey to McConnell’s office, they realized they had run out of copies of their letter and asked for one back. McConnell’s office was nice enough to print them extra copies. The day before, the group of lawmakers hit a snag when some of their staffers forgot their ID badges and couldn’t get into the Senate after the news conference. But members involved in the strategy sessions said they are used to the more on-the-fly approach, and dismissed the notion that their effort was simply a publicity stunt.)

CENTER FOR IMMIGRATION STUDIES
— BEYOND DISGUSTING, BEYOND TRAGIC: Identifying the Super-Sanctuaries – Preston Huennekens (DIERSEN: Ever-increasingly, the Democrats who run Chicago make it clear that they want to drive Republicans out of Chicago, and that they especially want to drive Republicans out of Chicago who are Trump supporters, Protestant, conservative, patriotic, White, male, older, rich, gun owners, German American, draft avoiders, and those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time.)
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.)

I should write a book about those who promote LGBTQ activity, their operatives, and their dupes who viciously demonize me, viciously denigrate me, and viciously condemn me.

https://www.foxnews.com/politics/republicans-taking-no-mercy-approach-to-even-longshot-2020-democrats

(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.”)

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.)

DAILY CALLER
— CONSERVATIVES DONATE TO NEW PRO-TRUMP FACEBOOK ALTERNATIVE – Ron Johnson  (DIERSEN: Facebook is a Democrat website.)
https://dailycaller.com/2019/01/09/conservatives-donate-to-new-pro-trump-facebook-alternative/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The creators of TrumpTown.com — a new Facebook alternative for conservatives — have launched an emergency initiative through GoFundMe to help fund their fight against the extreme censorship of mainstream social networks like Facebook and Twitter. While TrumpTown.com’s soft launch in November was a roaring success, just like any other internet start-up, securing funding to help maintain the site and more importantly, aid its growth, became a top priority according to the site’s founder, Addison Riddleberger. “Facebook, Twitter, and Google have sold their souls to the liberal left and will fight to put Democrats in power — even if that means censoring conservatives and purging them from their social networks,” Riddleberger stated. “The revolution isn’t in the streets, it’s on the internet — we’re finally fighting back and we need your support today.” He explained that Silicon Valley, angel investors, and venture capital groups are either afraid or opposed to this upcoming “social media revolution.” Because of the corporate opposition, they’ve launched an exclusive GoFundMe that will allow Americans fed-up with Facebook, Twitter, and Google to assist in funding development and exponential growth of TrumpTown.com. “Facebook and Twitter are under heavy fire for what they’ve done to their conservative users. Individuals are mad and rightfully so. We have an extremely rare and unique window of opportunity to turn the tables and give conservatives a place to express their ideas without fear of being censored and de-platformed like I was,” Riddleberger stated. Riddleberger and his small team launched TrumpTown after Facebook purged his political pages that had over 2.5 million conservative followers and cost him north of $50,000 to build over the course of several years. Even worse, the banning came just 24 hours before the 2018 mid-term elections with no explanation from Facebook whatsoever. “Unless we act right now, the kind of censorship and blacklisting that I experienced will eventually happen to every conservative publisher on social media, which will have serious ramifications for future elections. Facebook and Twitter’s war against the right is happening right this moment, and unless we do something, it’ll get even worse,” he stated.)

January 3 Morning Edition

GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— How did you respond or how will you respond the Illinois Republican Party (IRP) survey questions (https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/LBGPSVC)? Initial questions concerning this survey include: Who is exactly paying for this survey? When did you first learn that this survey was going to be conducted and who did you learn that from? Who developed the survey? What input did you, your Republican Precinct Committeeman/Captain, the officers of your Republican township/ward/county party organizations, your representative on the Illinois Republican Party (IRP) State Central Committee, the IRP officers, the IRP National Committeeman, and the IRP National Committeewoman have in the development of this survey? Where is the document that details the methodology used for this survey? What has been done to publicize this survey? Of course, anti-conservatives want liberals and moderates to respond to the survey and NOT conservatives. What about liberal and moderate responders who falsely claim to be conservative? I responded to the survey as follows:

  1. Why do Illinois Republicans lose elections? – Illinois Republican candidates are not conservative enough and do not energize enough of the Republican base. Illinois Democrat candidates typically have more campaign funds than Illinois Republican candidates.

POLITICO ILLINOIS
— Outgoing Illinois state Sen. Kyle McCarter was (finally) confirmed Wednesday on voice vote to be U.S. ambassador to the Republic of Kenya, according to a tweet by the U.S. Senate Republican Cloakroom staff. McCarter was nominated March 28. Over his lifetime, McCarter has served as a missionary to Kenya. The Republican from Collinsville has held the 54th state Senate seat since 2009. He ran unsuccessfully for U.S. Congress in 2016. McCarter announced last year he wouldn’t seek re-election and was succeeded by Jason Plummer, also a Republican. State Rep. Dave McSweeney cheered his McCarter’s news on Twitter. “Senator Kyle McCarter is a great conservative leader in Illinois and will be a great Ambassador to Kenya!” – Shia Kapos

http://chicagoargus.blogspot.com/2019/01/freshman-senator-already-declares.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: To me, the explanation is that she’s from Naperville – which once was a part of the great DuPage County Republican organization that was among the strengths of the GOP nationwide. There once would have been a time when Stava-Murray would have been a Republican aspirant for political office – except that the Republicans have gone so far overboard to become the political party of rural America that I suspect if she had tried to run in the Republican primary last year, she’d have lost. They wouldn’t want her. She’s a Democrat by default! It may well be that Stava-Murray is showing off her political ignorance and doesn’t fully realize “which side” she’s on. For her sake, she’s going to have to figure things out and “pick a side,” or else it could turn into a bloody two years for her.)

HuffPost has teamed up with YouGov to conduct daily opinion polls. You can learn more about this project and take part in YouGov’s nationally representative opinion polling. More details on the polls’ methodology are available here (http://data.huffingtonpost.com/yougov/methodology). Most surveys report a margin of error that represents some, but not all, potential survey errors. YouGov’s reports include a model-based margin of error, which rests on a specific set of statistical assumptions about the selected sample rather than the standard methodology for random probability sampling. If these assumptions are wrong, the model-based margin of error may also be inaccurate. Click here for a more detailed explanation of the model-based margin of error.

He had never heard of China’s most famous dissident, Liu Xiaobo, the Nobel Peace Prize laureate who died in custody two years ago. Now, after training, he knows what to look for — and what to block. He spends his hours scanning online content on behalf of Chinese media companies looking for anything that will provoke the government’s wrath. He knows how to spot code words that obliquely refer to Chinese leaders and scandals, or the memes that touch on subjects the Chinese government doesn’t want people to read about. Mr. Li, who still has traces of youthful acne on his face, takes his job seriously. “It helps cleanse the online environment,” he said. For Chinese companies, staying on the safe side of government censors is a matter of life and death. Adding to the burden, the authorities demand that companies censor themselves, spurring them to hire thousands of people to police content.)

MARKETING LAND
— Do brand politics impact consumer purchases? It’s complicated Multiple variables may affect how consumers react to brands that take a stand. – Greg Sterling (DIERSEN: Ever-increasingly, companies talk and act like they are operatives or dupes for the Democrat Party. Ever-increasingly, companies talk and act like they want to get rid of individuals, organizations, companies, governments, and countries that are Trump supporters, Protestant, conservative, patriotic, Republican, American, White, male, older, rich, gun owners, draft avoiders, German American, and those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time.)
https://marketingland.com/do-brand-politics-impact-consumer-purchases-its-complicated-252772
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A majority of consumers (63 percent), according to a new survey from SAP, say they prefer to purchase holiday gifts from brands that support specific social causes. This echoes earlier surveys that argue consumers increasingly want brands to take public social and political positions. The emerging consensus among marketers is that in the current climate brands are no longer able to “remain on the sidelines” and are compelled to stake out positions on controversial social issues. The most recent, high-profile example of this was Nike’s Just Do It anniversary campaign featuring Colin Kaepernick, which was controversial but actually helped Nike financially and with key audiences.)

That is why those who reject all or part of the aforesaid work so hard a) to stop me from putting GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails together and sending them out and b) to stop everyone from reading the emails.)
https://www.daily-journal.com/news/local/david-giuliani-bias-in-the-newspaper/article_e2fddaf2-09f8-11e9-8381-5b0b3998bc1c.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Earlier this week, a reader noted we run stories from the Illinois News Network. He accused the group of having a conservative bias. What is the Illinois News Network? It started a few years ago as an arm of the Chicago-based Illinois Policy Institute, which bills itself as libertarian and often is referred to as conservative. Last January, the institute revealed that it had transferred the network to the Franklin Center for Government and Public Integrity, another Chicago-based group. Some of Franklin’s executives are connected to conservative organizations. According to a January story in Crain’s Chicago Business, the conservative Koch brothers gave millions to the center, but is no longer funding the group. I looked through some of the recent stories on the network’s website. They seemed balanced to me. A story about abortion included both sides. Same with one about marijuana legalization. At the same time, the network runs stories about subjects that might be particularly appealing to conservatives. One such recent example is a story about work rules for food stamp recipients. That piece, though, included both sides of the debate. In an email to me, Dan McCaleb, editor of the network, noted it is a 501c3 nonprofit and therefore, by definition, cannot be political or partisan. “INN distinguishes itself by focusing on state issues that are most relevant to taxpayers, and making sure the taxpayers’ side of the story is represented, as well as government’s,” said McCaleb, a former editor for suburban McHenry County’s Northwest Herald. “INN strives to fill a gap in statehouse coverage because many media companies do not have the resources to cover the capitol, and those that do often do not include the taxpayers’ perspective in their reporting.”)

DAILY SIGNAL
— Trump’s Executive Order Freezing Federal Pay Saves Taxpayers from Extraordinary Pay Increases – Rachel Greszler (DIERSEN: The Daily Signal should write an article about reasons why people do not want to work for the federal government. The Daily Signal could focus on how the Democrats who run the federal government use the subjectivity in its employment policies a) to hire, retain, and promote young Democrat minorities and young Democrat females and b) to get rid of its employees who are Republican, White, male, and/or non-veteran who do not make 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.dailysignal.com/2018/12/29/trumps-executive-order-freezing-federal-pay-saves-taxpayers-from-extraordinary-pay-increases/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Federal pay should depend on workers’ skills, experience, and performance—not just their years of service and across-the-board annual pay increases. Ideally, Congress should address federal employee pay and compensation through a broad reform package—addressing not only federal pay, but total compensation also including retirement, health, vacation, and other benefits—that would better align federal compensation with that of the private sector and better tie pay to performance.)

I fight for getting the Illinois Republican Party (IRP), the DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and the Milton Township Republican Central Committee (MTRCC) to back candidates who can and will defend and advance a) the IRP platform, including its traditional family, right to life, immigration, and Second Amendment planks, b) the Republican Party platform, including its illegal drugs and equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) planks, and c) the MTRCC resolution against video gambling. Previously, I fought for TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois and the Illinois Center Right Coalition to do the aforesaid.)

BLOOMBERG
— Americans Earning Over $200,000 Are Flocking to These Neighborhoods Everyone knows wealth is concentrating. This is where the rich are going.
https://www.bloomberg.com/news/features/2018-12-18/these-are-the-neighborhoods-attracting-america-s-richest

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Cook County, Illinois Cook County, which includes the county seat of Chicago, is home to the No. 1 and No. 7 fastest-growing concentrations of $200,000-plus households. No. 1 is, ironically, the area around where the Cabrini-Green public housing projects once stood. Cabrini-Green was notorious for violent crime, poverty and de facto racial segregation until its demolition beginning in the 1990s at the behest of the Chicago Housing Authority. Even back then, authorities fretted that redevelopment plans might displace low-income families. They were right to be worried. Two decades later, the area’s concentration of $200,000-plus households has skyrocketed from zero to 39 percent. For some of the longtime residents who remain, the neighborhood’s transformation has been isolating. . .About 20 miles to the north, Cook County has another top 10 neighborhood: the Glen, in the suburb of Glenview. Converted from what used to be Naval Air Station Glenview, the planned community has hundreds of families living in condos, town houses and single-family homes that go for as much as $2.5 million each, according to realtor Margaret Ludemann.)

 

USA TODAY
— ‘Unscrupulous politicians’ blamed for worst year on record for journalist killings – Kim Hjelmgaard (DIERSEN: I should write a book about politicians and others who have demonstrated the most hated of me.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: “The hatred of journalists that is voiced, and sometimes very openly proclaimed, by unscrupulous politicians, religious leaders and businessmen has tragic consequences on the ground and has been reflected in this disturbing increase in violations against journalists,” said Reporters Without Borders’ Secretary-General Christophe Deloire. “Amplified by social networks, which bear heavy responsibility in this regard, these expressions of hatred legitimize violence, thereby undermining journalism, and democracy itself, a bit more every day,” he said.)

AUSTIN STATESMAN
— DISGUSTING, TRAGIC: Texas marijuana advocates set sights on 2019 legislative session – Bob Sechler (DIERSEN: QUESTION: Who does not want Illinois Republican Party (IRP) State Central Committee (SCC) member Bob Grogan to appoint me to the 2020 IRP State Convention Platform and Resolutions Committee, like IRP SCC member Ron Smith appointed me to in 2008? ANSWER: Those who reject the traditional family, right to life, immigration, and/or Second Amendment planks in the 2016 IRP Platform. Those who 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, anti-draft avoiders, and/or anti-those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time.)
https://www.statesman.com/news/20181213/texas-marijuana-advocates-set-sights-on-2019-legislative-session
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The 2018 platform of the state’s Republican Party is among their evidence. It includes a plank calling for civil, instead of criminal, penalties for possessing small amounts of pot, as well as one calling for expansion of the Compassionate Use Act “to allow doctors to determine the appropriate use of cannabis to certified patients.” In addition, Gov. Greg Abbott for the first time recently voiced support for reducing penalties for some pot possession — albeit not all the way to a mere civil offense. Abbott, a Republican, said during his successful re-election campaign against Democrat Lupe Valdez that he’s open “to talking to the Legislature about … reducing the penalty for possession of 2 ounces or less from a Class B misdemeanor to a Class C misdemeanor” because he doesn’t want to see “jails stockpiled with people who have possession of a small amount of marijuana.”)
