GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— The Republican Party exists to promote conservative principles; the Democrat Party exists to promote liberal principles; the Libertarian Party exists to promote libertarian principles; and the Green Party exists to promote green principles. Political parties exist to help elect candidates who can and will defend and advance their platform. The Illinois Republican Party (IRP) platform (https://illinois.gop/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/2016PlatformoftheIllinoisRepublicanParty.pdf) is conservative. The Republican Party platform (https://gop.com/platform/) is conservative. I served on the 2008 IRP State Convention Platform and Resolutions Committee. Disgustingly, outrageously, and unacceptably, the Republican Party, IRP, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Milton Township Republican Central Committee let people hold leadership positions a) who reject many planks in the aforesaid platforms and b) focus on destroying those like me who support the aforesaid platforms. Most commonly, these Democrat Party plants, Libertarian Party plants, Green Party plants, and RINOs reject the traditional family, right to life, immigration, Second Amendment, illegal drugs, and equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) planks. From what I see, they are working very hard to fill the 2020 IRP State Convention Platform and Resolution Committee with members who will water down if not strike the aforesaid planks. I have asked my representative on the IRP State Central Committee to appoint me to the 2020 IRP State Convention Platform and Resolution Committee. – Dave Diersen

Overwhelmingly, they promote LGBTQ activity, abortion, mass/illegal immigration, Islam, abolition of the Second Amendment, booze, gambling, pot, and other vices, patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation. Overwhelmingly, they 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.)

AMERICAN THINKER
— Ignorance, Fear, and LGBTQ – Lloyd Marcus
https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2019/05/ignorance_fear_and_lgbtq.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Mary and I met with several black relatives for dinner at a restaurant in Baltimore. The jovial conversation drifted to politics. I was stunned that they know nothing about several important political issues. Because they only watch mainstream media, my relatives are either misinformed or uninformed. For example,, my relatives have never heard of Sharia Law. When I explained the tyranny of Sharia and how leftists are promoting it in America, my relatives were shocked. Overwhelmed, a relative said, “I’ve heard enough. Can we change the subject?” The second thing that disturbed me was my relatives’ intense fear of pushing back against LGBTQ indoctrination that is impacting their lives. As I said, these are not political people. And yet, they know they had better not get caught opposing LGBTQ activists forcefully infiltrating every aspect of our lives; from public education to entertainment to Sunday morning worship.)

— A cautionary tale: Unfettered illegal immigration creates a failing nation – Paul H. Yarbrough
https://www.commdiginews.com/politics-2/a-cautionary-tale-unfettered-illegal-immigration-creates-a-failing-nation-117991/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: “We are a nation of immigrants” is a favorite aphorism of vote-seeking politicians. The saying reaches back to the 1870s. However, it is not true. So who cares? The pretense that we are all immigrants is babble. Words thrown about by the politicians to curry favor with some minority du jour. It is more “give me your vote,” and I will pay you with social safety nets.” Most politicians aren’t interested in the nonsensical twaddle about “give me your tired and your poor” as reflected on the Statue of Liberty. Maybe an update to the original should be “Welcome to New York, home of AOC and DeBlasio. If you think it was bad where you were, with until you start paying for NY Liberal policies.” This meaning that the taxpayer will provide the dollars necessary to provide immigrants – legal and illegal – with food, housing, medical care – those things bought and paid for by American taxes. Taxes squeezed from the citizens who may or may not want an influx of “the tired, huddled masses” seeking economic opportunity in the US.)

If they had more money, how would that have impacted you? Neither of my outstanding parents attended college. My father was the first of his ancestors to earn a high school diploma. My mother never attended high school. My father fought type 1 diabetes from age 14 and worked in the office of a nasty chemical plant in Chicago Heights. He almost always worked second jobs to help pay the family’s bills. He did not buy a new car until he was 45 years old and it was a bottom of the line 2-door Chevy with almost no options. He died suddenly of heart failure in 1969 when he was 47 and I was 21.)

Because it had been stripped and damaged so much, I accepted a $2,500 insurance settlement and used it for a down payment on a new 1972 Corvette which I continue to own.)

https://www.oflaherty-law.com/learn-about-law/defamation-in-illinois
(FROM THE ARTICLE: In this article, we will explain defamation law in Illinois. In order to state a cause of action for defamation in Illinois, the plaintiff must allege the following elements: ‍The defendant made a false statement about the plaintiff; ‍Made with actual malice or negligence; ‍That was published to a third party; ‍That damaged the plaintiff. ‍There are two types of defamation in Illinois, defamation per se and defamation per quod. Defamation per se consists of certain types of statements that the law considers to be automatically damaging and for which damages need not be proven. A statement that does not qualify as defamation per se is classified as defamation per quod. In defamation per quod cases, the plaintiff must prove actual monetary damages. The following types of statements qualify as defamation per se: statements accusing the plaintiff of a crime; statements asserting that the plaintiff has a “loathsome” communicable disease; statements asserting that the plaintiff is unable to perform in his or her employment or lacks integrity in his or her employment; statements that harm the plaintiff in his or her profession; and ‍statements accusing the plaintiff of adultery or fornication. ‍The statute of limitations for defamation actions is 1 year. ‍In Illinois there is no distinction between libel (written defamation) and slander (oral defamation). Many types of statements are privileged, meaning that the speaker will not be held accountable for defamation even if the elements of defamation would otherwise have been met. Privilege usually depends on the context in which the statement is made, such as statements made in a court of law.)

SPRINGFIELD STATE JOURNAL REGISTER
— Education officials, lawmakers look at alternatives to teacher testing – Cassie Buchman (DIERSEN: What tests have you passed? I passed a) the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979 when I was 30 years old, b) the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981, c) all the tests necessary to earn a master’s degree in financial markets and trading from IIT in 1997, d) all the tests necessary to earn a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980, e) all the tests necessary to earn a master’s degree in business from Loyola in 1976, f) all the tests necessary to earn a bachelor’s degree in management from NIU in 1970, g) the Federal Service Entrance Examination in 1970, and h) the Post Office employment examination in 1966.)
https://www.sj-r.com/news/20190427/education-officials-lawmakers-look-at-alternatives-to-teacher-testing
(FROM THE ARTICLE: As the teacher shortage in Illinois has grown to what some say are “crisis” levels, education officials and lawmakers are looking to change the way potential teachers are assessed. One reason for the shortage cited by the education community is the glut of tests required to get a teaching license in Illinois — along with the fact students aren’t passing them at the level they used to. To get a teaching license in Illinois, students need to pass a basic skills test, another test called the edTPA and a content-area test. Of those who took the basic skills test, called the Test of Academic Proficiency, in the first three months of this year, 25 percent passed, according to data on the Illinois State Board of Education’s website. ISBE is putting the TAP on hold starting June 30 as it looks at different ways to assess basic skills. State Rep. Sue Scherer, D-Decatur, is the sponsor of House Bill 423, which would eliminate the test until 2025. Sen. Andy Manar, D-Bunker Hill, introduced a bill, Senate Bill 1952, that would get rid of the basic skills test permanently. Both bills were approved in one chamber earlier this month and await consideration in the other chamber. The Illinois State Board of Education has taken a neutral position on the bills, a lobbyist for the agency said during a recent meeting. As a teacher, Scherer saw many examples of would-be teachers held back by the basic skills test. She linked the difficulties to students’ test anxiety and the poorly written test. The questions, Scherer said, are abstract to the point where students can’t figure out what the questions are asking. There also is an argument the tests are discriminatory toward people of color. Scherer says the tests don’t take life experiences or cultural differences into account. During the first quarter of the year, 12 percent of African-American students and 14 percent of Hispanic students passed the basic skills test.)

AMERICAN THINKER
— Real Leverage on Illegal Immigration – Mike Razar
https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2019/04/real_leverage_on_illegal_immigration_.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The main reason it is so difficult to deal with illegal immigration is that there is an unwritten but not secret alliance between RINOs who want cheap labor and leftists who want new voters. It is not clear whether either side of that bargain really gets what it wants, but it endures. Meanwhile, conservatives want a secure border and the rule of law. Keeping criminals and drugs out is a high priority and only a wall or other barriers will do, The RINOs and leftists are willing to tolerate the criminals and drugs in return for their other goals. What do conservatives want? Of course, no list will be agreed to by all but here are the main desired reforms: Build a border wall or other barriers. Mandate E-verify. End chain migration. End the visa lottery. End “catch and release”. Tighten rules for asylum seekers and only admit them after they prove their case. End sanctuary cities, states, or other jurisdictions. Add citizenship question to 2020 census. Redistrict based on only U.S. citizens. Liberals want none of the above; they want open borders.)

https://thehill.com/homenews/state-watch/440329-gop-plots-comeback-in-orange-county
(FROM THE ARTICLE: In 1990, almost two-thirds of Orange County residents were non-Hispanic whites. Today, the population is 40 percent non-Hispanic white, about a third are Hispanic, and 18 percent are of Asian heritage. As recently as 2010, Republicans enjoyed a registration advantage of almost 200,000 voters; today, the number of Republican voters outnumber Democrats by fewer than 20,000, and another 400,000 voters decline to choose a party. The changing electorate gave Democrats a chance to capitalize on an unpopular president, even as Republicans showed up to defend their seats. Republican turnout actually increased across Orange County by more than 100,000 votes between the 2014 and 2018 midterm elections — but Democratic turnout surged by nearly 200,000 votes, swamping the GOP, according to the Democratic data firm TargetSmart.)

My Democrat GAO superiors forced me to retire in 1997 when I was 49 years old, gave me unfair performance expectations and appraisals, always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes, did not promote me beyond GS-13, got rid of my mentor in 1987, kept me off audits of IRS for all but 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for GAO, and forced me to take a $19,568 (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980. My Democrat IRS superiors did not promote me beyond GS-12, disallowed my education deductions in 1978, got rid of my mentor in 1975, and disallowed my partial day per diem claims in 1974.

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Democratic Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker, his wife and his brother-in-law are under federal criminal investigation for a dubious residential property tax appeal that dogged him during his gubernatorial campaign last year, WBEZ has learned. A law-enforcement source familiar with the investigation confirmed to WBEZ that the probe, which has not been revealed publicly until now, began last October and remains active. There are no signs that criminal charges are imminent. WBEZ has also confirmed that Illinois First Lady MK Pritzker’s personal assistant who was involved in the property tax appeal, Christine Lovely, is being represented by one of Chicago’s most high-powered lawyers. Her attorney, Reid Schar, is a former federal prosecutor who helped convict ex-Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich on corruption charges. The developments demonstrate that the billionaire governor and his wife may face a serious legal threat arising from their controversial pursuit of a property tax break on a 126-year-old mansion they purchased next to their Gold Coast home.)

https://www.wsj.com/articles/at-yale-diversity-means-more-of-the-same-11556058975
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Yale President Peter Salovey announced a major expansion of the school’s diversity bureaucracy this month, providing a case study in how not to lead a respected institution of higher education. The pretext for this latest accretion of bureaucratic bloat was a May 2018 incident in a graduate student dorm. Sarah Braasch, a 43-year-old doctoral candidate in philosophy, called campus police at 1:40 a.m. to report someone sleeping in a common room, which she believed was against dorm rules. Yale administrators knew Ms. Braasch had psychological problems and that she had a history of bad blood with the sleeping student, Lolade Siyonbola, a 35-year-old doctoral candidate in African studies. But because Ms. Braasch is white and Ms. Siyonbola is black, the administration chose to turn the incident into a symbol of what Mr. Salovey called the university’s “discrimination and racism.” Yale leaders immediately announced a slew of new initiatives: “implicit bias” training for graduate students, grad-school staff and campus police; instruction in how to run “inclusive classrooms”; “community building” sessions; a student retreat to develop the next phase of equity and inclusion programming. Despite this flurry of corrective measures, Kimberly M. Goff-Crews, Yale’s secretary and vice president for student life, ominously declared there was still “much more to do.”)

Further, I should sue leaders of conservative and/or Republican organizations who discriminate against members who are Trump supporters, Protestant, conservative, patriotic, Republican, American, White, male, older, rich, gun owners, German American, draft avoiders, and/or those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: A bill before the Texas Senate seeks to prevent social media platforms like Facebook and Twitter from censoring users based on their viewpoints. Supporters say it would protect the free exchange of ideas but critics say the bill contradicts a federal law that allows social media platforms to regulate their own content. The measure — Senate Bill 2373 by state Sen. Bryan Hughes R-Mineola — would hold social media platforms accountable for restricting users’ speech based on personal opinions. Hughes said the bill applies to social media platforms that advertise as unbiased but still censor users. The bill was unanimously approved by the Senate State Affairs Committee last week. “Senate Bill 2373 tries to prevent those companies that control these new public spaces, this new public square, from picking winners and losers based on content,” Hughes said in the committee hearing. “Basically if the company represents, ‘we’re an open forum and we don’t discriminate based on content,’ then they shouldn’t be able to discriminate based on content.”)

WIKI HOW
— How to Choose Your Political Party in the United States – Bridget Connolly (DIERSEN: From what I see, ever-increasingly, in Illinois, in DuPage County, and in Milton Township, conservatives are discouraged from a) joining Republican organizations, b) staying a member of Republican organizations, and c) seeking leadership positions in Republican organizations because they see how Republican organizations in Illinois, in DuPage County, and in Milton Township treat conservatives. They see how the Illinois Republican Party (IRP), DuPage County Republican Central Committee (DCRCC), Milton Township Republican Central Committee (MTRCC), TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois, and Illinois Center Right Coalition (ICRC) have treated me and treated my GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails. They see how MTRCC rudely fired me as its webmaster in 2010 and 2004. They see how MTRCC viciously crushed me when I ran for MTRCC Treasurer in 2004. They see how ICRC viciously crushed me when I ran for reelection to its Steering Committee in 2007. They see how ICRC almost succeeded in censoring me in 2006. Ever-increasingly, IRP, DCRCC, MTRCC act like they want to get rid of their members who are Trump supporters, Protestant, conservative, patriotic, Republican, American, White, male, older, non-poor, gun owners, German American, draft avoiders, and those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time. From what I see, beyond tragically, conservatives, that is Republicans, are ever-increasingly shrinking minority in the IRP, DCRCC, and MTRCC.)

POLITICO ILLINOIS
— HRO upheaval and a GOP feud – Shia Kapos (DIERSEN: Disgustingly, outrageously, tragically, and ever-increasingly, Illinois Republicans first learn from Democrat news sources like Capitol Fax and Politico Illinois what Illinois Republican Party (IRP) leaders are saying and doing. Far too often, it looks like IRP leaders are taking direction from Democrats and Democrat plants, Libertarians and Libertarian plants, Greens and Green plants, and RINOs who have lots of religious, government, political, and/or financial clout to keep Illinois Republicans including Dave Diersen and his GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails “out of the loop.”) 
https://www.politico.com/newsletters/illinois-playbook/2019/04/22/hro-upheaval-and-a-gop-feud-newman-hits-a-roadblock-meister-wants-a-rematch-427112
(FROM THE ARTICLE: After losing six House seats in the 2018 general election, the House Republican Organization is reorganizing its leadership team and ramping up fundraising. Political Director Joe Woodward, a confidante and friend to House GOP Leader Jim Durkin, is out, according to a memo Durkin and new HRO Chair Tony McCombie sent Saturday to caucus members and obtained by POLITICO. Woodward is moving to the private sector, and HRO has hired Jayme Odom with the new title: executive director. “We’re bringing in additional fundraisers and plan to be more aggressive with members on their own fundraising with the organization,” Durkin told POLITICO. The changes come after re-evaluating the 2018 losses. “When you have a multi-billionaire writing checks, it’s difficult,” Durkin said, referring, of course, to Gov. J.B. Pritzker‘s backing of so many Dem candidates. “We have to be more self-sufficient.” GOP Rep. Mark Batinick (97th) says the GOP caucus has done “much introspection” on its campaign strategy leading up to 2020. “Only through a thorough self-examination can we fully improve. Not only is it OK to question everything, it’s what any organization should do from time to time,” he told POLITICO. Republican campaign coffers remain a fraction of their Democratic counterparts. The HRO, which has a fundraiser planned April 29, has $38,000 cash on hand, compared to the Democratic Majority’s $3.4 million. Durkin, meanwhile, has $900,000 on hand while House Speaker Mike Madigan sits on $7.4 million. Odom, HRO’s new executive director, meanwhile, is a familiar player in Illinois politics. She previously was chief of staff for the Illinois Lottery during Gov. Bruce Rauner’s administration. During that time, a state investigation found Odom failed to disclose her connection to lobbyists for a company vying for a lucrative lottery contract. Odom then left for Ohio, where she helped manage Jim Renacci’s unsuccessful U.S. Senate campaign last year. Odom also worked as executive director for the Illinois Republican Party from 2013-2015. GOP drama part 2: Some GOP lawmakers are criticizing that political operative David Walsh was paid for consulting for Citizens for Durkin and for Majority Strategies — a national firm that also does political mailings for the HRO. The payments to Walsh by Majority Strategies were not publicly disclosed, according to a WCIA report last week. Durkin says Walsh was paid out of his campaign fund — not by HRO — and that Walsh’s work with Majority Strategies “is independent” of any work with HRO. One downstate Republican, per an interview with POLITICO, is hoping for an investigation to clear up the murkiness. And state Rep. Dave McSweeney, also in an interview, accused Durkin of paying “his buddy” Walsh instead of putting money toward House races. He even called on Durkin to step down. GOP drama part 3: Yep, there’s a feud between McSweeney and Durkin that goes beyond campaign cash. Last week, the House GOP leader pulled McSweeney’s communications aide after McSweeney spoke out against Rep. Steve Reick for a racially tinged comment about a bill requiring company boards to diversify. Reick later apologized. McSweeney paid to promote a tweet condemning Reick’s comment. In a statement to POLITICO, Durkin said: “This is an internal caucus matter. I will continue working to move the Republican Party and House Republican caucus forward in Illinois but will not tolerate public attacks on fellow members.”)

WALL STREET JOURNAL
— The Case Against Early Retirement Many people dream of leaving the office as soon as they can. But the evidence suggests a lot of downsides. It may be time to rethink those dreams. – Richard W. Johnson (DIERSEN: I should write a book about early retirement.)
https://www.wsj.com/articles/the-case-against-early-retirement-11555899000
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Most people look forward to retirement, a reward for decades of hard work. But like many other pleasures, it may be bad for your health. It may even kill you. How can that be? How can working longer be good for your health? After all, many people dream of—and plan for—retiring early. Strenuous, stressful work can wear people down and damage their health. On the other hand, retirees can relax and reinvigorate themselves. They have time to follow their passions and pursue activities that enrich their lives. But in our rush to leave the office, we don’t realize that retirement also has a downside, especially over the long term. Many retirees indulge in unhealthy behaviors. They become sedentary and watch too much television. They eat too much. They drink too much. They smoke too much. Without the purpose of fulfilling work, retirees can feel adrift and become depressed. Without the camaraderie of their co-workers, retirees risk becoming socially isolated. Without the intellectual stimulation that work can provide, retirement can accelerate cognitive decline.)

What are the following doing to get the best possible Republican candidate to run against and defeat Casten: Peter Roskam, Illinois Republican Party (IRP) National Committeeman and Committeewoman, IRP officers, 6th Congressional District IRP State Central Committee member, and 6th Congressional District Republican county and township organization officers?) 
https://www.politico.com/newsletters/illinois-playbook/2019/04/18/casten-on-aocs-green-deal-preckwinkle-reflects-population-dropping-again-426113
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Casten, who campaigned on a “fix climate change” platform, just wishes it wasn’t sucking the air out of all the other green legislation. “The Green New Deal has made it very hard to advance a different idea about how to move forward [on climate change] without being seen as antagonistic,” Casten said during an interview with POLITICO. Casten has bills in various forms on issues he cares about, and he’s been asked by other lawmakers to join on their climate-focused bills, too. But they’re all effectively on hold, he says, while Ocasio-Cortez’s plan gets the headlines. The Green New Deal calls for the nation to reduce its fossil fuel use to zero within 10 years. Casten is back in Illinois this week after his first three months in Congress. We met over coffee at Starbucks in Carpentersville. Here are seven takeaways from the interview: On what works/doesn’t work in AOC’s resolution: “I agree with the urgency of it. That part is awesome. It’s just more idealistic than practical. To do climate policy right, you have to understand how our current energy structure works.” Casten points to questions about whether fertilizer can be made without natural gas or if aviation fuels can replace existing high-energy, low-density petroleum-based fuels. They’re both areas that are difficult to de-carbonize based on current technologies. His Capitol Hill mentors: U.S. Rep. Bill Foster, who serves Illinois’ 11th District. The two representatives share a passion for science and business. Also New Hampshire Rep. Annie Kuster and Maryland Rep. Jamie Raskin. “Every time I talk to [Raskin] I realize he’s super smart and I leave thinking I’m super smart,” says Casten.)

DAILY SIGNAL
— The Natural Limits of Identity Politics – Victor Davis Hanson (DIERSEN: Question: When will illegal immigration to America end? ANSWER: When Spanish is America’s official language. When everyone in America speaks, reads, and writes Spanish. When America looks like Mexico. When there are few, if any Whites left in America. When Mexico and the other Spanish-speaking countries officially declare victory over America.)
https://www.dailysignal.com/2019/04/18/the-natural-limits-of-identity-politics/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Economist Herbert Stein’s old adage—“If something cannot go on forever, it will stop”—still holds. Take illegal immigration. There are currently somewhere from 11 million to 15 million immigrants living in the United States without legal authorization. Last month, nearly 100,000 people were apprehended or turned away while trying to illegally cross the southern border. Some experts suggest that at least that number made it across without arrest. At that rate, the United States would be gaining a fairly large city of undocumented arrivals each month. Most of the people who enter the United States illegally arrive without fluency in English, a high school diploma, competitive job skills, or money. The majority will require support subsidies, and collectively they will require increased legal and law enforcement investments. At some point, American social services will be so taxed that the system will be rendered dysfunctional—as is already occurring in areas of the American Southwest. Or, some regions of America will so resemble the countries illegal immigrants abandoned that there will be little point in heading north. Either way, the current border chaos will find its own self-correcting mechanisms, even if that means there will be no border at all—or northern Mexico and the southern United States will become indistinguishable. Currently, the national debt is $22 trillion and growing at a rate of nearly $1 trillion a year due to staggering annual budget deficits. The George W. Bush and Barack Obama administrations roughly doubled the debt they inherited, and the Donald Trump administration may be on schedule to do the same. More importantly, the national debt is now over 100% of the gross domestic product. Presidents and Congress like to spend and to spread money to voters. They fear politically suicidal recessions if they cut back. But over the last 20 years, the government has mostly exhausted traditional economic stimuli such as larger budget deficits, near-zero real interest rates, and expansion of the money supply.)

DAILY MAIL
— Internet age really DOES mean we get bored more easily and have shorter attention spans, study finds. Our need to keep up to date is beginning to overwhelm our brains, experts say.

The findings don’t necessarily mean our individual attention spans are shorter. – TIM COLLINS (DIERSEN: One of the many reasons why people read GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails is that virtually all the articles that are linked in the emails are less than 12 hours old.)
