DAILY HERALD
— DIERSEN HEADLINE: Tollway Executive Director José Alvarez took an $18,996 (8%) pay cut for his new position. In 1980, when I was 31 years old, I took a $19,568 (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO. I had passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, I had almost completed the requirements for a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul, I had earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976, and 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 $82,579-$93,592.)
https://www.dailyherald.com/news/20190517/new-tollway-chief-wants-to-hear-from-stakeholders-on-route-53
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Executive Director José Alvarez, who attended his first board meeting Thursday, will be paid $223,000 annually, 3.7% more than his predecessor Elizabeth Gorman, who received $215,000. “I took a pay cut. That’s how excited I am about the opportunity” to work at the tollway, said Alvarez, former chief operating officer for the Chicago Housing Authority. Alvarez joins a rookie tollway board picked by Gov. J.B. Pritzker, who supported the ouster of the previous slate of directors after a series of Daily Herald reports about tollway spending and patronage hiring at the agency. Alvarez “came in on May 1 and hit the ground running,” Chairman Will Evans said at Thursday’s meeting. “I am committed to investing in our team and building on its strengths,” Alvarez said. He likened the tollway’s situation to the housing authority, which had “five CEOs in five years.” Former tollway Executive Director Greg Bedalov, who was paid $186,000, left in February 2018 and Gorman stayed for 13 months.)

Questions for my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes: If I have always been so privileged, why did I take bad jobs? I did yard work and delivered newspapers 1962-1964; washed dishes 1964-1966; cleaned golf shoes, chipped slag, and pumped gasoline in 1966; delivered mail 1966-1969; worked on an automobile assembly line and as a security guard in 1970; sold tires, automotive services, and major appliances 1970-1971; pumped gasoline 1971-1972; collected delinquent taxes 1971-1980; and audited federal agencies 1980-1997. If I have always been so privileged, why aren’t my degrees from Ivy League universities? Of course, their answer will be that I am stupid and lazy.)

AMERICAN THINKER
— Pelosi’s disgraceful weaseling on merit-based immigration – Thomas Lifson (DIERSEN: Democrats want immigrants because immigrants vote for Democrats. RINOs want immigrants because RINOs want cheap labor.)
https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2019/05/pelosis_disgraceful_weaseling_on_meritbased_immigration.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Common sense and public opinion both strongly favor prioritizing immigrants who bring education and skills to the country, so that they can support themselves and provide more tax payments than they consume in the form of welfare and other need-based services. Few questions of public policy receive support in the eighty percent range, yet merit-based immigration actually does receive nearly 80% in reliable polling. . .The entire point of immigration policy is to benefit the citizens of the United States. Forcing citizens to pay for the welfare and government services consumed by poor families entering with children (who will need expensive bilingual schooling), and who will generate few taxes but consume large tax revenues if they bring low education and skill credentials, enacts a penalty on American citizens.)

— OUTSTANDING: Marijuana bill may violate Illinois Constitution, prosecutors say – Dean Olsen
https://www.sj-r.com/news/20190513/marijuana-bill-may-violate-illinois-constitution-prosecutors-say
https://www.pjstar.com/news/20190513/marijuana-bill-may-violate-illinois-constitution-prosecutors-say
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A key component of a bill that would legalize possession and sale of marijuana for recreational use in Illinois — erasing pot-related convictions for potentially hundreds of thousands of people — may violate the state Constitution, according to the group representing county prosecutors statewide. The bill essentially would create legislative pardons, which are illegal, said Robert Berlin, president of the Illinois State’s Attorneys Association. Under the Illinois Constitution, only the governor can issue pardons, Berlin, the DuPage County state’s attorney, told The State Journal-Register. “It’s a separation of powers argument,” he said. An additional constitutional concern, he said, is that prosecutors would be prohibited under the bill from helping to determine who is and isn’t eligible for expungement of certain misdemeanor and felony convictions. “It takes away all of our discretion,” Berlin said of Senate Bill 7, adding that court challenges could overturn such expungements. Berlin, a Republican, said the bipartisan association plans to present its concerns to Gov. J.B. Pritzker, a Democrat and supporter of the bill, as well as the bill’s sponsors in the General Assembly. Berlin said the association has taken a neutral stance on the overall bill.)

My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes stress how little support that I got when they succeeded in a) ending my TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois chairman in 2012, b) ending my Wheaton Chamber of Commerce Government Affairs Committee membership in 2011, c) ending my Milton Township Republican Central Committee webmaster service in 2010 and 2004, d) ending my Illinois Center Right Coalition Steering Committee membership in 2007, e) ending my American Association of Political Consultants Midwest Chapter board membership in 2004, f) ending my GAO employment in 1997, g) etc.)
https://illinoistimes.com/article-21221-muhs-accompanied-by-staff-leaves-sj-r.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The entire State Journal-Register newsroom walked out today in support of now former editor Angie Muhs, who was walked out of the building this afternoon by the paper’s general manager after submitting her resignation on Friday. In an impromptu show of solidarity, the staff accompanied Muhs as she left the building for the final time. “Everyone walked out with her as a show of respect,” reporter Dean Olsen said. “We all gave her a hug and applauded for her and thanked her for the stand that she was taking. … People are crying.” Olsen said Muhs told her staff on Friday that she was leaving partly in hopes of avoiding more layoffs at a paper that has been decimated by staff cuts. “I think her hope was, by not having her salary to pay, her hope would be that there would be no layoffs,” said Olsen, who wasn’t present when Muhs announced her departure last week. “She was a very good editor, and she tried to promote good journalism in Springfield, despite some pretty trying circumstances that she had to deal with from GateHouse Media (the paper’s corporate owner).” Muhs declined to say what she told her staff, but she said she wasn’t expecting colleagues to walk out of the building with her. “I was very touched,” Muhs said. “I didn’t expect that. … I have tremendous respect and admiration for the State Journal-Register staff. They’re dedicated. They’re hard working. They care about doing quality local journalism, and they persevered under some really tough conditions.” Muhs lasted five years as editor of the State Journal-Register, coming to Springfield from a media company in Maine. For the second year in a row, the SJ-R this spring was named GateHouse Newspaper of the Year for its circulation division. In 2017, Muhs was named Editor of the Year in the SJ-R’s circulation division in a company-wide contest. GateHouse Media, which bought the SJ-R in 2007 and promised “hyperlocal” coverage, publishes more than 150 daily papers and is one of the nation’s biggest newspaper companies. “Angie Muhs exemplifies everything one could ask for from an editor,” wrote former SJ-R publisher and president wrote when Muhs won the 2017 editor of the year award. “She is deeply connected to her community, constantly looks for ways the SJ-R can be a leader in community engagement, demands excellence from her team and works tirelessly to ensure deliver (sic) quality, impactful content to our readers every day.” The praise remains posted at www.bestofgatehouse.com, the company web page dedicated to its contests. Gracing GateHouse Media’s home page is a photo of Abraham Lincoln impersonators taken by Rich Saal, the paper’s longtime photo editor who was laid off two weeks ago, the latest cut for a paper that has seen plenty. In 2012, newsroom employees, voted 26-4 to form a union after the paper laid off the entire copy desk. There are five news reporters left, and several beats, including courts, police and education, no longer have fulltime reporters assigned to them. Muhs declined to discuss staff cuts, but she praised Saal, saying he was one of the best photojournalists she’s ever worked with. She’s been vocal in the past about her feelings while GateHouse sliced her staff. Last September, amid a round of cuts, Muhs tweeted a quote from New York Times publisher A.G. Sulzberger, who said “You cannot cut the value of the product you give readers and expect them to reward you with growth.” Muhs included her own take: “Amen. If only all owners heeded these words.” Olsen said Muhs appeared emotional as she left the building for the last time. “I think she’s tried to fight within the channels of GateHouse to try to preserve the staff,” Olsen said. “I don’t know how successful she’s been. I know it’s been very frustrating for her. Her heart is in this. She quit without a job lined up. I think that says a lot right there.)

— Behind the Movement to Kick Chicago Out of Illinois – Matt Vasilogambros (DIERSEN: Eve-increasingly, Illinois Democrats make it clear that want individuals, organizations, and companies to leave Illinois that are Trump supporters, Protestant, conservative, patriotic, Republican, American, White, male, older, rich, gun owners, German American, draft avoiders, and those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time.)
https://www.pewtrusts.org/en/research-and-analysis/blogs/stateline/2019/05/14/behind-the-movement-to-kick-chicago-out-of-illinois
(FROM THE ARTICLE: In Illinois, a resolution calling on Congress to declare Chicago the 51st state has eight Republican cosponsors in the state House (there are 44 Republicans in the lower chamber) and support among many of the state’s conservative activists. It’s the second such bill in as many years. Illinois state Rep. Brad Halbrook, the bill’s author, cites the many issues tearing the state apart. He listed Democrats’ “overreaching” stances on abortion, guns, immigration, debt, pensions, Medicaid spending, property taxes, green energy and workers’ compensation as just some of the reasons Chicago and Illinois should go their separate ways. Recent polling from the Paul Simon Public Policy Institute at Southern Illinois University Carbondale shows two-thirds of Illinois voters think the state is moving in the wrong direction. That same March poll from the Simon Institute shows “significant regional differences” in responses. The state division hit a breaking point several years ago, when Illinois was mired in the longest fiscal stalemate in the United States since the Great Depression. The budget battle between Democratic lawmakers and then-Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner lasted more than two years, threatening public university accreditation, statewide road construction and “junk” credit ratings. Halbrook blamed the impasse on Chicago-area Democrats. “Everywhere I go, people say we just need to get rid of Chicago,” he told Stateline. “It gets rid of all of our problems. My constituency is serious about it. I’m trying to save the state.” Halbrook has a small family farm in Shelbyville, a rural community along the Kaskaskia River in central Illinois with around 4,600 residents. New Illinois? Forty percent of the Prairie State’s 12.7 million residents live in Cook County, the county surrounding Chicago. The broader Chicago metropolitan area consists of 9.5 million people. Without the Chicagoland area, Illinois would have fewer people than Connecticut. Democrats control both chambers of the General Assembly and the governor’s office, and most of them are from Chicagoland — including 62 of the 74 Democrats in the House. The rest of Illinois is largely agricultural and conservative, aside from the parts of Illinois near St. Louis in neighboring Missouri and pockets of central Illinois. A July 2018 paper from the Simon Institute found that Illinois’ politics “are marked and marred by regionalism.” The idea of dividing Illinois has been around throughout Illinois’ history, the paper says, despite “how impractical it is.” While these regional divides are prevalent in other states across the country, it’s exaggerated in Illinois because of “the extent to which many Illinois leaders emphasize, exploit and exacerbate these regional differences for their own advantage,” the paper claims. The Windy City has all the political power, the money and the economic growth, said G.H. Merritt, who runs New Illinois, a separation group that has begun starting chapters in counties throughout the state to build grassroots support. Merritt, a former nonprofit administrator, lives in Lake County, north of Chicago. So far, she has 26 county chapters that want to split the rest of Illinois from Chicago. When forming her organization, Merritt sought advice from other state separation organizations, like New California. The group, which is run by a conservative radio talk show host, advocates for the creation of a new state split from the Los Angeles and San Francisco areas “to throw off the bonds of tyranny.” Activists such as Merritt blame state Democratic leaders from Chicago for creating a “systemically corrupt climate” and many of the problems Illinois currently faces, like the $134 billion in unfunded pensions and other fiscal problems — despite the fact that these problems grew through both Democratic and Republican governorships.)

DAILY HERALD
— FRONT PAGE TOP OF FOLD WITH COLOR PHOTO OF CHIEF STEVEN STELTER: Legalize pot? No way, says leader of state police chief association – Charles Keeshan and Susan Sarkauskas (DIERSEN: Needless-to-say, every municipality, every township/ward, every county, and every state in America should discourage pot usage. The Wheaton City Council is seeking applicants for city’s vacant North District City Council position. Applicants are asked to submit a statement identifying the three most important issues that they believe the city needs to address in the next two years as well as their opinion on how those issues could be addressed. Needless-to-say, applicants should state that discouraging pot usage is one of Wheaton’s most important issues and that Wheaton should do everything that it can to discourage pot usage. Applicants should state in no uncertain terms that they will vote against legalizing the sale of pot in Wheaton.)
https://www.dailyherald.com/news/20190510/legalize-pot-no-way-says-leader-of-state-police-chief-association
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The suburban police chief recently elected president of the Illinois Association of Chiefs of Police says he’s making it a top priority to fight the legalization of recreational marijuana use here. “It is a disastrous move,” Chief Steven Stelter said, ticking off more than a half-dozen reasons the association opposes the proposed Cannabis Regulation and Tax Act. Among them: more fatal crashes and more violent crime in states that have legalized it. . .”I’m sure everybody that wants to grow is going to stick to five plants,” he said with more than a hint of sarcasm. The chiefs association also disputes the belief that legalization will reduce the black market for the drug, and it says overseas drug cartels have set up grow operations in rental or foreclosed houses in states where marijuana is legal. “It is destroying our children in legal states,” Stelter said, referring to reports that use by seventh- and eighth-graders increased in those places, and there has been an increase in calls to poison-control centers about children who ingested marijuana-laced edibles. Politicians in Illinois are turning a blind eye to these concerns, he said. “They don’t even want to hear it.”)

AMERICAN THINKER
— The Next Battlefront: Social Media – Rick Hayes
https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2019/05/the_next_battlefront__social_media.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Imagine a day when newspapers only publish articles regarding the benefits of late-term abortions, socialism, and open borders. Where history books vilify Republican conservatives for fighting to defend slavery, inciting segregation, and founding the KKK. Cable news shows would only report crimes committed by conservatives or capitalists and social media only allowed leftist ideas to be communicated over their platforms. Well, if the left continues its scorched-earth policy against free speech, in no time at all the United States will have no resemblance to what the Founding Fathers envisioned. So many examples exist that fully detail the poverty, violence, and atrocities that quickly emerge when free speech is taken away that it raises the question as to why so many younger Americans are indifferent about the loss of such an important right.)

The Wheaton City Council is seeking applicants for city’s vacant North District City Council position. Applicants are asked to submit a statement identifying the three most important issues that they believe the city needs to address in the next two years as well as their opinion on how those issues could be addressed. Needless-to-say, applicants should state that discouraging pot usage is one of Wheaton’s most important issues. According to Capitol Fax’s Rich Miller, “Dude, I got news for you: Cannabis is already in your neighborhood. Your neighbors are consuming it, perhaps even right this moment.

CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— DECEMBER 24, 2003 FLASHBACK: Church arsonist receives 39 years – Ted Gregory (DIERSEN: Palinski was a registered Republican voter in my precinct. According to this article, Palinski’s “life started unraveling when he began using marijuana, cocaine, heroin and other drugs as a teenager.” I should try to arrange for Palinski to speak at public hearings in Wheaton about the evils of pot.)
https://www.chicagotribune.com/news/ct-xpm-2003-12-24-0312240124-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A Wheaton man who was admonished by a judge as a “selfish heartbreaker” received 39 years in prison Tuesday for setting fires that destroyed a Catholic church and damaged his next-door neighbor’s home, and for trying to arrange the murder of a prosecution witness in those cases. Adam Palinski, 22, a college student with a history of emotional instability, was sentenced by DuPage County Judge Perry Thompson. Palinski broke the hearts of parishioners at Wheaton’s St. Michael Catholic Church, which Palinski and his family attended, as well as the hearts of his neighbors and relatives, Thompson said. Thompson noted at Tuesday’s sentencing that family members testified Palinski is loving, courteous and religious. “Had any of those good qualities been present on the days in question, we would not be here today,” Thompson said. “Your dreams are going to be deferred for a long time.” In November, juries found Palinski guilty of arson, aggravated arson and solicitation of murder for hire. Aided by a videotaped confession and audio tapes of wiretapped conversations, prosecutors said Palinski set fire to the inside of the church about 2 a.m. March 18, 2002, after a night of drinking. The church, which was destroyed, is offering masses for the estimated 2,700 families in its school gymnasium. St. Michael’s leaders estimate the cost of rebuilding to be $9.75 million. About $4.5 million has been raised. After setting the church ablaze, Palinski splashed gasoline on his neighbor’s home and ignited it, prosecutors said. It went out before the residents awoke that morning. No one was injured. On one of the tapes, when investigators asked why Palinski set the fires, he replied: “No particular reason. I was bored.” Five months after his arrest, Palinski was charged with trying to find a hit man to kill a friend who obtained informal admissions of guilt from Palinski by wearing a court-approved listening device. At Tuesday’s sentencing, DuPage County Assistant State’s Atty. Joseph Ruggiero, who prosecuted the case with Steven Knight, said Palinski was a liar whose life started unraveling when he began using marijuana, cocaine, heroin and other drugs as a teenager.)

Mueller III’s findings — if Trump were not the president. – Matt Zapotosky (DIERSEN: Of course, my critics/opponents hint/imply/argue/shout that they could get hundreds if not thousands of signatures from activists, candidates, elected officials, party leaders, major donors, political consultants, etc. in Wheaton, in Glen Ellyn, in Milton Township, in DuPage County, and in Illinois who have lots of religious, government, political, and/or financial clout on a letter that would demonize me, denigrate me, and condemn me as being a White supremacist, Nazi, KKK member, hater, racist, sexist, bigot, and even worse things who should be gotten rid of once and for all. I should write a book about my critics/opponents and who they successfully manipulate/dominate. Better yet, I should sue them.)

MOTLEY FOOL
— It’s Not Just Older Workers Who Get Hurt by Ageism Turns out younger employees fall victim to age discrimination, too. – Maurie Backman (DIERSEN: The Democrats who ran GAO during the 1980s and 1990s used Affirmative Action, Diversity, Inclusion, up-or-out, and budget cuts to get rid of virtually all of the agency’s employees who were Republican, White, male, and/or non-veteran who they had not promoted to GS-13 (currently $98,198) by age 25, GS-14 (currently $116,040) by age 30, GS-15 (currently $136,495) by age 35, and Senior Executive Service (currently $165,500) by age 40.

— Don’t Trust the Messenger: The “Right” Reporting? (DIERSEN: He who pays the piper calls the tunes. Everyone in journalism should be required to disclose the sources and amounts of their income. My Civil Service Retirement System pension is $53,316/year, my Social Security is $2,118/year, and my RMD is about $10,000/year.)
https://capitalresearch.org/article/dont-trust-the-messenger-part-4/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Conservatives and right-leaning moderates know that in order to get the “full story” they should read not only the Wall Street Journal and National Review, but also the Washington Post and The Atlantic. After all, it’s important to know how the other half of America thinks and feels about the news of the day. However, the media landscape isn’t what it used to be—where once there were nominally nonpartisan broadcast and print media, new nonprofit newsrooms backed by big liberal foundation resources have risen, even as conservative platforms have folded. But that doesn’t mean conservative readers and writers should resign themselves to obsolescence: a combination of foundation giving and visionary leadership could breathe new life into conservative and even less-partisan journalism, while providing the stability and flexibility necessary for new outlets to thrive.)

I should write a book about those who have a low opinion of me. They a) reject planks in the Republican Party platform and/or the Illinois Republican Party platform and work against those like me who support those planks, b) reject the Milton Township Republican Central Committee resolution against video gambling and work against those like me who support that resolution, c) focus on destroying those like me who they cannot manipulate/dominate, d) were defendants in lawsuits that I have filed, and/or e) are operatives or dupes for the aforesaid.)

— Age and the American Presidency: How Old is ‘Too Old’? – Erica Gunderson (DIERSEN: To defend your health, and especially to defend your cognitive abilities, what would you stress? I would stress the fact that I have put together and sent out a GOPUSA ILLINOIS email each and every morning since 2004 (4,860+ days) and each and every evening too since 2015 (1,210+ days).)
https://news.wttw.com/2019/04/29/age-and-american-presidency-how-old-too-old
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Is there such a thing as being too old to be president? Americans first questioned whether a candidate was too old for the world’s highest office in 1840, with the candidacy of 67-year-old William Henry Harrison. He was 68 when he was inaugurated the nation’s ninth president. Barely a month later, a sudden bout of pneumonia ended his term – and his life. It was 140 years before America elected an older man to the presidency – Ronald Reagan, who was inaugurated at 69 and was 77 when he left office. Reagan was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease a few years later, but some believe he was showing signs of the disease during his second term as president. And in 2016, Donald Trump was 70 when he took the oath of office, making him the oldest president ever inaugurated. Among the 21 Democratic candidates hoping to challenge Trump in the 2020 election are more in their 60s and 70s than ever before. Two full generations separate the youngest presidential candidate, Pete Buttigieg (37), and the oldest, Bernie Sanders (77) and Joe Biden (76). Dr. John Holton, director of the Center for Gerontology at Concordia University, says that rather than asking if a candidate is too old for office, “a better question would be to ask what the characteristics of a bad president are. Would the answer have anything to do with the person’s age, religion, sexual orientation, disability, ethnicity, or experience? Are we confusing our assumptions about maturity with age?” Critics of older candidates say that electing a president in their 60s or 70s can be risky. The nation’s highest office is a physically demanding job that challenges even the fittest person – and there’s no good time for a health crisis when you’re in the Oval Office. Signs of age-related cognitive decline might not become apparent until it’s too late. Holton notes, “In the fishbowl life of a U.S. president, it would be highly unlikely that [cognitive impairment] would go unnoticed or unaddressed by staff and cabinet members.” There is also the consideration of life span. While life spans are longer than they were when the country was young, simple statistics indicate that electing a candidate in their 70s greatly increases the odds they’ll die while in office, but again, Holton points out that each candidate must be judged individually. “No more than 25% of longevity is determined by our genes, which means that 75% is determined by our choices and lifestyle behaviors,” he said. Holton also points out that at the moment, two Supreme Court justices are performing their own demanding jobs into their 80s (to wit: 86-year-old Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s famously rigorous exercise regimen). Many voters might consider advanced age a sign of experience and wisdom – qualities that presumably anyone would consider positive qualifications for office.)

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.)

— GOP plots comeback in Orange County – REID WILSON (DIERSEN: What are the following doing to help elect Republicans in November 2020: a) Illinois Republican Party (IRP), b) your Republican county party organization, and c) your Republican township/ward party organization? Democrat plants, Libertarian plants, Green plants, and RINOs in the aforesaid organizations want the aforesaid organizations to dump the traditional family, right to life, immigration, Second Amendment, illegal drugs, equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving), and other planks in the IRP platform and in the Republican Party platform.

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.)

They certainly made me pay the price. 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. My Democrat Post Office superiors forced me resign in 1969 and disallowed my sick leave requests in 1969 and 1968.)

NATIONAL REVIEW
— On Stephen Moore’s ‘Brainiac’ Immigrants – JASON RICHWINE (DIERSEN: Are/were you a high-skilled employee? What indicates that an employee is/was high skilled – work experience, education, professional certifications, professional licenses? I earned a) a job-related bachelor’s degree when I was 21 in 1970 and job-related master’s degrees when I was 27, 31, and 48, b) job-related professional certifications when I was 30, 32, 41, 45, 47, and 48, and c) a job-related professional license when I was 32.)
https://www.nationalreview.com/corner/h1-b-visas-highly-skilled-immigrants/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: In praising the “brainiacs” who hold H-1B visas, Stephen Moore writes that “the firms that use these visas must affirm that they were not able to find comparably skilled American workers to do the jobs.” That claim is generally false. Most firms are not even required to advertise the position before applying for an H-1B worker. (Recruiting Americans prior to applying for an H-1B is required only for employers deemed “H-1B dependent” or “willful violators.”) Moore’s piece has remained uncorrected on the Dallas News site for six days and counting. The error is important because it touches on a key question about the H-1B program, and about “high-skill” immigration more generally: Are we really getting Einstein-level intellects with few American equivalents, or are firms simply importing run-of-the-mill college graduates to hold down wages? To support the Einstein theory, Moore cites the testimony of Bill Gates, who once claimed that each H-1B worker hired by Microsoft creates four new jobs.)

THE HILL
— Biden says he asked Obama not to endorse him – RACHEL FRAZIN (DIERSEN: Not that my endorsement means anything and not that any candidate would seek my endorsement, but I advise candidates that because my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have been so successful at demonizing me, denigrating me, and condemning me as being a White supremacist, Nazi, KKK member, hater, racist, sexist, bigot, and even worse things, my endorsement of candidates harms those candidates chances of winning. I should write a book about my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes. Better yet, I should sue them.)

NEW YORK POST
— Donald Trump slams Joe Biden as ‘not the brightest bulb’ – Ben Feuerherd (DIERSEN: Government is nasty. Politics is nasty. Democrats, Libertarians, Greens, and RINOs are nasty. If you sought a government office or political office, what would your critics/opponents stress to paint you as being “not the brightest bulb?” My critics/opponents would stress that while I passed the CPA and Certified Internal Auditor examinations on my first attempt, my scores were not that high. They would stress that while I earned a bachelor’s degree in management and master’s degrees in management, accounting, and finance, my grades were not that high. They would stress that I became the following not by passing examinations, but by grandfathering in: Certified Fraud Examiner, Certified Government Financial Manager, Certified Financial Services Auditor, and Forensic Accountant. One of my critics/opponents has publicly stressed that he got better scores than I did on the CPA examination.)

FEDERAL GOVERNMENT JOBS
— GAO Analyst Student Intern Student Trainee Job (DIERSEN: Were you an intern? GAO audits IRS. When I transferred from IRS to GAO in 1980 when I was 31 years old, my Democrat GAO superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinated did not want me to transfer, but failing that, they wanted me to transfer as a GS-4 Step 1 (currently $33,591/year) intern, that is, to suffer a $60,001/year (64%) pay cut in today’s dollars. 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 $82,579-$93,592/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.)
