I have repeatedly asked Bob Grogan who represents me on the IRP State Central Committee to appoint me to the 2020 IRP State Convention Platform and Resolution Committee.

INDIANAPOLIS BUSINESS JOURNAL
— Let’s do better finding candidates for next election – Adrianne Slash (DIERSEN: Are you a potential candidate? What do the following think of you and think of those who share your demographics: those who run your municipality, your township/ward, your county, Illinois, America, your township/ward political organization, your county political organization, your representative on your political party’s State Central Committee, your state political party, and those who have lots of religious, government, political, and/or financial clout in your municipality, township/ward, county, state, and America? The proof is in the pudding. The proof is who the aforesaid a) encourage to run for offices and b) discourage from running. Ever-increasingly, in Wheaton, in Milton Township, in DuPage County, in Illinois, and in America, the more of the following that you are, the more that the majority of the aforesaid discourage you from running: Trump supporter, Protestant, conservative, patriotic, Republican, American, White, male, older, gun owner, German American, draft avoider, and/or those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time.) 
https://www.ibj.com/articles/slash-lets-do-better-finding-candidates-for-next-election
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Balance should not be just an idea, it ought to be a priority goal for all. Elections always have consequences and one consequence we should look into after the 2019 municipal election is a lack of balance on the local front. Less than 25% of Marion County voters participated in an election that sets the leadership that hits closest to home for the next four years. These results are what we get when the community is not so into the election. All the issues that rise to the top are likewise the priorities of the 25% who were interested. We can do better, but it starts long before Election Day, long before the primary, long before slating conventions. It happens as candidates are identified. Communities deserve candidates who reflect the community, as it exists at the time of the election, not reflective of a line started long ago that lets the next one simply get called up. Communities deserve the right candidate for right now—candidates who are inspired, who have been working, who are in it for the people, who understand the current needs and bring with them the expertise required to get the work done. I am convinced that our low turnout is tied to a lack of inspiration and interest in the processes, and whom we have running. If you look at the Indianapolis City-County Council races, the candidates who have personal ties to their districts have been able to draw their support systems, networks and, ultimately, neighbors to the polls. These communities had higher turnout. Imagine a year in which the candidate pool is representative of the people and chosen for the candidates’ community-level work and for the good of the people, not for commitment to party. Consider what it would look like to have an election cycle with full community buy-in—one in which candidates entered with excitement and fresh community-driven ideas.)

CAPE COD TIMES
— Only by lawless logic would we include illegal aliens in Census – Adam Lange, Vice Chairman, Brewster Republican Town Committee
https://www.capecodtimes.com/opinion/20191123/only-by-lawless-logic-would-we-include-illegal-aliens-in-census
(FROM THE LETTER: I attended the 2020 Census event at Barnstable Town Hall on Nov. 13. It confirmed how misguided our state government has grown, and reminded me how Donald Trump got elected in 2016. Secretary of State William Galvin told a packed room about his efforts to count everyone in next year’s census. He highlighted that illegal aliens should be included in the count, since their information cannot be shared with other government agencies (aka law enforcement). The U.S. Census determines who receives a finite amount of federal funding and apportions congressional seats. When Massachusetts government officials scheme to inflate their numbers by including the estimated 270,000 illegal aliens for whom they have created a sanctuary, it siphons off money and representation from real Americans in law-abiding states. When congressional seats and Electoral College votes are unfairly distributed, the 14th Amendment’s “one person, one vote” standard is violated. This lawless logic promoted by liberal state officials puts Americans last, and most likely will result in President Trump’s reelection in 2020.)

Ever-increasingly, the aforesaid are buying home security devices, firearms, ammunition, etc. for their self-defense.)

— Naperville residents say community needs to call out racism when they see it; ‘We need to say, not in our town’ – SUZANNE BAKER (DIERSEN: Ever-increasingly, Democrats paint Naperville as being full of White supremacists, Nazis, KKK members, haters, racists, sexists, bigots, and even worse things who should be gotten rid of once and for all. How soon, if not already, will Democrats call for Naperville to banish individuals, organizations, and companies that are Trump supporters, Protestant, conservative, patriotic, Republican, American, White, male, older, non-poor, gun owners, German American, draft avoiders, and/or those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time?)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Racial incidents that occurred at Naperville Central High School, Buffalo Wild Wings and Bucky’s Mobil gas station this past year are not a surprise to people of color, Naperville City Councilman Benny White said Wednesday at a meeting held by Naperville Neighbors United. “These cases are not isolated. These kinds of things are happening,” White said. The problem, he said, is most go unreported.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: A Naperville Central High School was charged with a hate crime this week after he allegedly posted an item on Craigslist featuring a black student’s photo with the words “Slave for sale (Naperville).” While not addressing that incident specifically, Bridges told the audience gathered at the Naperville Municipal Center racism has no place in District 203 schools and racial slurs are “unacceptable anytime and anyplace.” . . . The district has seen an uptick in the number of reports of racial slurs in the junior high and high schools, Leaks said. . .Marla Baker said her children have experienced so much racial discrimination they don’t want to go to school some days because they no longer trust teachers or administrators to do anything about it.)

https://www.dailyherald.com/discuss/20191122/amid-regulation-pressures-for-big-tech-transparency-the-least-bad-option

How, in this context, can we chart a path forward that can satisfy this base anger without betraying free-market principles?)

EVANSTON PATCH
— City Urged To Reconsider Firing Of Community Services Manager Terminated over allegations he improperly paid parking tickets with a city credit card, Kevin Brown and his supporters suspect retaliation. – Jonah Meadows (DIERSEN: The more that you speak out against something, the harder that those who oppose what you say will retaliate against you. I speak out against the promotion of dependency on government, dependency on charity, LGBTQ activity, abortion, mass/illegal immigration, abolition of the First and Second Amendments, illegal drugs, patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation. I should write a book about past and present leaders of the following who oppose my speaking out against the aforesaid: Milton Township Republican Central Committee, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, Illinois Republican Party, Wheaton, Wheaton Chamber of Commerce, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois. I would focus on how the aforesaid have retaliated against me.) 
https://patch.com/illinois/evanston/city-urged-reconsider-firing-community-services-manager
(FROM THE ARTICLE: City Clerk Devon Reid spoke during public comment after the mayor denied his request to address the public from the dais. Instead of addressing aldermen, he picked up the microphone and turned toward the overflow crowd. “The decision that has been made regarding Kevin Brown doesn’t reflect our principals, nor does it reflect our rules, and that is the concern that I have,” Reid said. “We have seen a pattern, in this city, of racial inequity. We’ve seen a pattern of folks who speak out about racism and call out the city being systemically, systematically fired and terminated, and I think we have a duty to address this.”)

— Facebook Weighs Steps to Curb Narrowly Targeted Political Ads Tech firms are reversing a yearslong trend of offering ever-more precise tools that in some cases facilitated the spread of misinformation – Emily Glazer (DIERSEN: What can be inferred about you from your browsing and search histories? The following can be inferred about me: Trump supporter, Protestant (baptized, raised, and confirmed as a Missouri Synod Lutheran), conservative, patriotic, Republican, American, White, male, married, homeowner, old (born in 1948), non-poor, gun owner, 100% German American, draft avoider, retired federal employee, my ancestors have been in America since 1844, raised in Crete, etc. Obviously, the more of your demographics that your critics/opponents despise/hate, the more that your critics/opponents despise/hate you.

Of course, the aforesaid falsely deny that they despise/hate anyone because of their demographics.) 
https://www.wsj.com/articles/facebook-discussing-potential-changes-to-political-ad-policy-11574352887
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Facebook Inc. is discussing increasing the minimum number of people who can be targeted in political ads on its platform from 100 to a few thousand, according to people familiar with the matter. The potential move is part of an effort to make it less easy for advertisers to microtarget, which has been criticized as enabling political actors to single out groups for misleading or false ads that aren’t seen by the broader public. Alphabet Inc. ’s Google said on Wednesday that advertisers would no longer be able to target political messages based on users’ interests inferred from their browsing or search histories. And last month, Twitter Inc. said it would stop accepting most political ads.)

— Jewish Groups, More Than 100 House Democrats Call On Stephen Miller To Resign – Rachel Sandler
https://www.forbes.com/sites/rachelsandler/2019/11/21/jewish-groups-more-than-100-house-democrats-call-on-stephen-miller-to-resign/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Jewish groups, too, are calling for Miller’s resignation, which is significant because after the Southern Poverty Law Center reported on the emails last week, White House officials said that criticism of Miller, who is Jewish, amounted to anti-Semitism. “Mr. Miller condemns racism and bigotry in all forms, while those defaming him are trying to deny his Jewish identity which is a pernicious form of anti-Semitism and this outrageous smear dishonors the memories of Jewish victims of anti-Semitic persecution across the globe,” White House deputy press secretary Hogan Gidley told Yahoo News)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Defense_Officer_Personnel_Management_Act

(FROM THE POSTING: DOPMA created stable and predictable career paths, institutionalized relatively short careers compared to private industry, and mandated the military adopt an “up or out” personnel management strategy (requiring officers who failed selection for promotion to be removed from the service). Although DOPMA accomplished many of its intended goals, many provisions and consequences of the legislation remain controversial. . .The DOPMA “system” generally provides two opportunities to advance to the next rank. Officers typically will go before selection boards in cohorts based on the year they were commissioned. The majority of officers are promoted “in zone” (or “primary zone”); officers not selected will go before the next board (“above zone”), typically held a year later. Officers who are not selected “above zone” (twice fail promotion) are required to separate from the service, retire if eligible, or by exception may continue to serve until retirement in their current grade (but will never again be considered for promotion). At the discretion of the services a small number of promotions may go to exceptional officers (“below zone”) who are promoted one or two years ahead of their cohort. Congress desired “due course” officers (those selected in the primary zone) to be promoted within set windows based on time served in the current grade and cumulative years of service. While not specified in DOPMA, Department of Defense policy established targets for selection to the next grade, as a percentage from the surviving cohort. Desired promotion rates and reporting requirements of service board results are regularly published by DoD. Current promotion guidelines are as follows:)

They stress the lack of minorities in Crete when I lived there during the 1940s, 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s. In my defense, I stress that I bought a new town home in University Park in 1972.

— Congress Should Hire More Staff, Task Force Says – MARK TAPSCOTT (DIERSEN: All during the almost 18 years that I worked for GAO 1980-1997, the agency a) was almost always under hiring and promotion freezes and b) shrank in either absolute or relative terms.)
https://www.theepochtimes.com/congress-should-hire-more-staff-task-force-says_3152598.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: “Congress today is overwhelmed,” TFPCR stated. That’s due to “decades of self-imposed disinvestment in expertise and staffing.” “Congress today employs fewer staff aides than it did in the 1980s and early 1990s. Declines in staffing have been largest on committee staffs and at support agencies such as the Congressional Research Service (CRS) and the Government Accountability Office (GAO), Congress’s principal repositories of policy expertise,” the report stated. “Given the complexity and size of the national government—and the informational resources held by the executive branch and interest groups—members of Congress simply require [more] extensive staff support in order to perform their jobs.”)

DAILY HERALD
— Whistleblowers are fundamental to honest government – Keith Peterson (DIERSEN: Democrat and RINO leaders do not want to hear me blow the whistle on political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation while I worked for the Post Office 1966-1969, IRS 1971-1980, and GAO 1980-1997. Democrat and RINO leaders want to get rid of Republicans, and especially Republicans who are Trump supporters, Protestant, conservative, patriotic, White, male, older, gun owners, German American, draft avoiders, federal employees/retirees, and/or those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time. RINO leaders have far more in common with Democrats than they have with Republicans. RINO leaders in Illinois, in DuPage County, in Milton Township, in Glen Ellyn, and in Wheaton a) are not concerned at all that Democrats are taking over and b) focus on stopping me from sending out GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails and stopping everyone from reading those emails.)

POLITICO ILLINOIS
— “Introducing POLITICO’s 2020 Election Forecast: ratings for every national contest, from all 538 votes in the Electoral College, down to the 435 House districts — and everything in between.” The forecast is bright for incumbents in Illinois, but the 6th District seat held by Rep. Sean Casten is only leaning Dem and the 12th District seat held by Rep. Mike Bost is only leaning Republican. The 15th District seat that’s opened up with Republican Rep. John Shimkus’ retirement after 2020 is still rated “solid Republican.” – Shia Kapos

https://townhall.com/columnists/benshapiro/2019/11/20/how-to-disunite-america-n2556749
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Our First Amendment culture is endangered when local governments are given the capacity to block businesses from operating, not on the basis of business discrimination but on the viewpoint of the company’s founders alone. That’s precisely what’s happening here. If giving to Christian charities now bars you from opening a restaurant at the airport, our culture is beyond the point of no return. But there’s something even more troubling going on here. In a free country, of course we get to choose which businesses to patronize. But is it good for the culture for us to segregate our business based on examining the politics of those who own our companies? Do we really want a country where we shop based on political affiliation? Where every decision, every day, is rooted in partisanship? America’s social fabric is already fraying. Politics has invaded everything from education to sports, from movies to fashion. Should politics now determine where we buy a chicken sandwich? A country that punishes restaurants because its founders don’t openly celebrate same-sex marriage is a country destined to bifurcate. And that’s pretty fowl.)

WAND
— GLAAD say chain needs to do more (DIERSEN: What more do LGBTQ activists want the religious, government, political, and financial leaders in your municipality, in your township/ward, in your county, in Illinois, in America, and in the world to do? From what I see, it is first to get rid of those who oppose promoting LGBTQ activity and then to get rid of those who do not engage in LGBTQ activity.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Drew Anderson, director of campaigns and rapid response for GLAAD, said in a statement that Chick-Fil-A must do more. “If Chick-Fil-A is serious about their pledge to stop holding hands with divisive anti-LGBTQ activists, then further transparency is needed regarding their deep ties to organizations like Focus on the Family, which exist purely to harm LGBTQ people and families,” he said in a statement. CNBC reached out to Chick-Fil-A for comment on the matter and was told it had nothing else to add.)

ILLINOIS FAMILY INSTITUTE
— Chick-fil-A Betrays Principles and Faithful Customers – Laurie Higgins (DIERSEN: Chick-fil-A’s dumping Christians will motivate Democrat, Libertarian, Green, and RINO governments to pass resolutions to dump Christians. In your municipality, in your township/ward, in your county, in Illinois, in America, and in the world, who takes the lead in dumping Christians?) 
https://illinoisfamily.org/faith/chick-fil-a/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: In a stunning act of betrayal, Chick-fil-A’s charitable foundation, the Chick-fil-A Foundation, has announced it will no longer donate to the Salvation Army, Fellowship of Christian Athletes (FCA), or Paul Anderson Youth Home (PAYH). Though Chick-fil-A has not publicly acknowledged the reason for its betrayal, everyone knows what it is. Chick-fil-A is attempting to curry favor with the “LGBTQ+” community that is shredding our social fabric. This policy shift constitutes a cowardly betrayal of Chick-fil-A’s Christian ethos and its Christian customers who have stood by Chick-fil-A through all its trials at the hands of legions of supporters of sexual deviance. Broods of vipers identifying as apostles of justice, equality, tolerance, diversity, inclusivity, and compassion have been protesting and maligning Chick-fil-A since 2012 when Dan Truett Cathy, chairman and chief executive officer, made some public statements in an interview with the Baptist Press supporting true marriage and opposing the legal recognition of homosexual unions as marriages. After homosexuals got wind of Cathy’s theologically orthodox and unremarkable statements, some part of hell broke loose and raged against Chick-fil-A. Fortunately for Cathy and Chick-fil-A, Christians turned out en masse all across the country to show their support with their time and money for Cathy’s stand for truth. And this is how Cathy and Chick-fil-A repay them.)

— Trump’s aides eye moving impeachment witnesses out of White House jobs – Kevin Liptak and Pamela Brown (DIERSEN: I should write a book about my Democrat superiors in the federal government, the adverse actions that they took against me, and why they took those adverse actions against me. I should write a book about TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois, Wheaton Chamber of Commerce, Milton Township Republican Central Committee, Illinois Center Right Coalition, and American Association of Political Consultants Midwest Chapter leaders, the adverse actions that they took against me, and why they took those adverse actions against me.)
https://www.cnn.com/2019/11/18/politics/donald-trump-never-trump-white-house-staff/index.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: It’s one of the persistent anomalies of the impeachment inquiry: most of the witnesses airing concerns at Trump’s approach to Ukraine remain employed by him, despite his claims they are “Never Trumpers” and his overt suggestions they’ve already been fired. None, for now, have been explicitly fired by Trump, even as he and his allies suggest otherwise. It’s created an odd and uncomfortable situation for staffers, who say they are unclear on their colleagues’ futures in the administration. Over the weekend, a GOP talking point emerged that Trump was well within his rights to choose his own team, a response to Yovanovitch public recounting of the smear campaign orchestrated by Trump’s allies to push her from her post in Kiev. “America hired @realDonaldTrump to fire people like the first three witnesses we’ve seen,” the President’s son, Donald Trump Jr., tweeted as Yovanovitch began her testimony. “Career government bureaucrats and nothing more.” A day later, Trump himself suggested on Twitter he’d already fired the three State Department employees who have appeared in public impeachment hearings, quoting the conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh.)
