NBC5
— Chris Kennedy Walks Off Stage During Gun Violence Comment at Forum “It hit a very special nerve for me,” Kennedy said in an interview with NBC5 – Mary Ann Ahern and Brendan Pedersen (DIERSEN: Republicans promote the traditional family. Democrats promote things that destroy the traditional family. Children raised in traditional families are far less likely to commit crime and they are far more likely to be successful in life.)
https://www.nbcchicago.com/blogs/ward-room/chris-kennedy-leaves-stage-during-forum-469429893.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Gubernatorial candidate Chris Kennedy left the stage during a forum on Monday after Republican State Rep. Jeanne Ives argued the solution to the state’s gun violence was having “more fathers in the home.” Kennedy, a Democrat, replied by pointing out he had grown up without a father before standing up and walking out of the venue. For the Winnetka businessman and politician, gun violence is personal. Both his father and uncle – Sen. Robert Kennedy (D) and President John F. Kennedy (D), respectively – were shot and killed during the turbulent 1960s. Kennedy has made gun violence a top priority of his campaign since he declared his candidacy last February, earning endorsements from African-American Congressmen Bobby Rush and Danny Davis in the process. “It hit a very special nerve for me,” Kennedy said in an interview with NBC 5. “I lost my father to someone with a gun. For someone to say simply the solution is to have a father-in-law – I don’t know. How shall I react? What should my family have done?” Kathleen Murphy, a spokesperson for Ives, said in a statement Monday night that the representative did not mean to offend Mr. Kennedy during the forum. However, Murphy also reiterated the importance of fathers in domestic life, citing “similar statements” like President Barack Obama’s 2008 Father’s Day speech at the Apostolic Church of God on Chicago’s South Side. In his speech, the then-candidate said, “too many fathers also are is missing — missing from too many lives and too many homes.” “Those are President Obama’s words, and that was what she was echoing today,” Murphy said. “She certainly meant no offense to Mr. Kennedy.” Kennedy made the decision to leave after watching the 2016 Republican primary debates, where he said, “the Republican Party allowed Donald Trump to say racist and simplistic things.” Kennedy argued that Republicans should have vacated the stage in protest like he did when he heard “simplistic solutions to tragic problems.” Kennedy’s running mate, Ra Joy, has also been personally stricken by gun violence. His son Xavier was killed by gunfire in Hyde Park last June. After returning home from college for the summer, his family believes he was killed for his cell phone just two blocks from his home. Kennedy quoted his running mate when it came to tackling violence. “As Ra points out, hurt people hurt people,” he said. “We need to be sensitive to that; think in terms of empathy and not in terms of punishment, and that’s not what I was hearing today.”)

CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— DISGUSTING, TRAGIC: Top 3 Illinois Dem gubernatorial candidates agree: We all smoked pot back in the day – Kim Janssen (DIERSEN: I have never used pot or any other kind of illegal drug and I never will. If I had smoked pot “in the day,” would I have been able to a) score 24 on the ACT and graduate in the top 20% of my high school class in 1966 when I was 17, b) buy a new 1966 Pontiac Tempest Sprint in 1966, c) buy a new 1968 Oldsmobile 442 in 1967, d) buy a new 1969 Dodge Charger SE in 1968, e) earn a bachelor’s degree in management from NIU in 1970, f) buy an new town home in 1972, g) etc. One thing is for sure, if I had smoked pot, the Post Office would not have hired me in 1966, Firestone Stores would not have hired me in 1970, Oldsmobile would not have offered me a job in 1971, IRS would not have hired me in 1971, and GAO would not have hired me in 1980.) http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/chicagoinc/ct-met-pritzker-pot-0116-chicago-inc-20180112-story.html

http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/politics/ct-illinois-election-voter-data-20180116-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Government agencies would be required to publicly disclose whether they’ve entered into a severance agreement with an employee accused of sexual harassment under legislation introduced by a Republican lawmaker. The proposal from Rep. David McSweeney, R-Barrington Hills, comes as elected officials and prominent figures nationwide face heightened scrutiny amid a flood of sexual misconduct allegations. In Illinois, state Sen. Ira Silverstein, D-Chicago, has been accused of sexually harassing a victims rights advocate while working with the woman to pass legislation. Silverstein denied the allegations, which brought to light flaws in the way ethics complaints are handled at the Capitol as the office charged with investigating allegations sat empty for three years. The measure pushed by McSweeney would require local government agencies, including schools and community colleges, to disclose within three days details of severance agreements whenever any workers are fired over alleged sexual harassment or discrimination. A related proposal he also introduced late last week would prevent taxpayer dollars from being used to pay off legal settlements resulting from a state lawmaker’s sexual misconduct.)

DAILY HERALD
— FRONT PAGE TOP OF FOLD WITH COLOR PICTURE OF ROSKAM: DIERSEN HEADLINE: Roskam sides with Trump’s critics on immigration. Political parties exist to help elect candidates who can and will defend and advance their platform. Trump’s critics reject the immigration planks in the Republican Party platform and in the Illinois Republican Party platform. What does Roskam say to those like me who support the immigration planks in the Republican Party platform and in the Illinois Republican Party platform? From what I see, ever-increasingly, employers prefer to hire recent immigrants over those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time. Overwhelmingly, recent immigrants are young minorities and/or young females who talk and act like Democrats. GAO hired me in 1980 because it could not find a qualified Democrat, minority, female, younger person, or veteran who would take the job. IRS hired me in 1971 because it could not find a qualified Democrat, minority, female, or veteran who would take the job. The Post Office hired me in 1966 because it could not find a qualified Democrat, minority, female, or veteran who would take the job. Ever-increasingly, Democrats oppose anything that is merit based. My Democrat IRS superiors were furious when I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979 when I was 30 years old. My Democrat GAO superiors were furious when I passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981 when I was 32 years old. The young Democrat minorities and the young Democrat females who my Democrat IRS and GAO superiors promoted over me had not taken those examinations, let alone passed them.)

CRAIN’S CHICAGO BUSINESS
— Woman Up, Chicago: Time to promote female leaders – Editorial (DIERSEN: In my opinion, GAO failed/refused to promote into its Senior Executive Service a GS-15 woman a) who was my immediate supervisor during my last 4 years at GAO and b) who supervised my immediate supervisor the previous 4 years because she failed/refused to do more to waste my career and to get rid of me. Most, if not virtually all of my GAO superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates DID NOT want to work for her, work with her, or supervise her because she was very demanding, female, younger, Jewish, and wealthy. She had an MBA from the University of Chicago and had passed the CPA examination on her first attempt. To turn her against me, my Democrat GAO superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates stressed to her that I was conservative (she was liberal), Republican (she was Democrat), I was 100% German national origin (she was 100% Russian national origin), I was baptized, raised, and confirmed as a Missouri Synod Lutheran (she was Jewish), and that my ancestors had been in America since the 1840s (her ancestors were recent immigrants.)

WIRE POINTS
— Chris Kennedy’s appalling response to Jeanne Ives – Mark Glennon (DIERSEN: Republicans promote the traditional family. Democrats promote things that destroy the traditional family. Children raised in traditional families are far less likely to commit crime and they are far more likely to be successful in life.)
http://www.wirepoints.com/chris-kennedys-appalling-response-to-jeanne-ives-quicktake/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: “We know the statistics — that children who grow up without a father are five times more likely to live in poverty and commit crime; nine times more likely to drop out of schools and 20 times more likely to end up in prison.” That was Senator Barack Obama in 2008. “You know how you’re going to solve [gun violence]? Fathers in the home.” That was Jeanne Ives, candidate for governor, at a forum today. This time, the audience booed and shouted. Chris Kennedy walked off the stage and said, “When I hear such ignorance and stupidity aired out by someone who knows so little about so much, I don’t think there’s an appropriate place for them to be on a podium on a dais.” Mayor Emanuel last year proudly attributed a historic low in teen births to the City’s work and to Obamacare. The federal government, under Obama and long before, linked unwed births to crime. Ives made her comment to a crowd she knew would be hostile — mostly Democratic on the west side of Chicago. Over the booing she repeated what she believes, “Fathers in the home.” Seeing that, instead of joining the jeering hypocrisy, maybe Kennedy should have remembered something his father said: “Few men are willing to brave the disapproval of their fellows, the censure of their colleagues, the wrath of their society. Moral courage is a rarer commodity than bravery in battle or great intelligence. Yet it is the one essential, vital quality for those who seek to change a world which yields most painfully to change.”)

My Democrat IRS superiors were furious when I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979 when I was 30 years old.

https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2018/jan/16/donald-trumps-point-is-well-taken-the-rest-is-durb/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Most people aren’t race-baiters, haters or supremacists, including those nodding their heads in agreement with what President Trump said in a private meeting to Democratic and Republican lawmakers. Most people simply think it’s neither the mission nor the obligation of the United States to educate people who can’t get anything that even passes for education in their countries of origin — or get even basic health care, sanitation and job opportunities. Most people think it’s in America’s and Americans’ interest to emphasize merit over need in deciding whom to admit to our shores for possible citizenship. Emphasize merit but not exclusively. Mr. Trump, for all his controversial word choice and political incorrectness, has forced that discussion into the public square — and other heretofore verboten subjects. Maybe in time to save the republic from the elites who are killing it, maybe not.)

SAN DIEGO UNION TRIBUNE
— Libel laws: What are they and why is Trump talking about them, again? – Luis Gomez (DIERSEN: According to this article, “Publicly elected officials have a higher bar to meet because, unlike private citizens, statements made about them are probably a matter of public importance. Public officials like Trump, still, have recourse when they can prove “actual malice” or that the falsehoods made were done recklessly or maliciously.” My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes routinely slander and libel me because they believe that they can get away with it because I have to meet a “higher bar” to prove slander and libel a) because I have been the GOPUSA Editor since 2000 and b) because I have been an elected Republican Precinct Committeeman since 2000. Further, they know that because of my demographics, I have terrible “jury appeal.” Ever-increasingly, juries 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, and/or anti-those whose ancestors have been in America longer than their ancestors.)
http://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/opinion/the-conversation/sd-what-are-libel-laws-and-why-trump-talking-about-them-20180110-htmlstory.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: So, what are libel laws? Here’s how the American Lawyer Media defines libel: “to publish in print (including pictures), writing or broadcast through radio, television or film, an untruth about another which will do harm to that person or his/her reputation, by tending to bring the target into ridicule, hatred, scorn or contempt of others.” Libel is one form of defamation that is distinguished by how it is done, through the broadcast or dissemination of a printed material, like a book. Slander is another form of defamation but one that is done orally like spoken in a public meeting. Can Trump sue for defamation and win? To win a defamation suit, according to one law firm, one must prove A) that the statement made was false, B) that it caused “material harm” and C) that those who made the statement acted with malice or with negligence. Publicly elected officials have a higher bar to meet because, unlike private citizens, statements made about them are probably a matter of public importance. Public officials like Trump, still, have recourse when they can prove “actual malice” or that the falsehoods made were done recklessly or maliciously.)

My Democrat GAO superiors were furious when I passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981 when I was 32 years old.
