From what I see, sooner or later, if not already, BLM and LGBTQ+ will demand that your city council do the following: get rid of the municipality’s residents, organizations, and companies a) that do not promote BLM, LGBTQ+ activity, dependency on government, dependency on charity, abortion, mass/illegal immigration, abolition of the First and Second Amendments, booze, gambling, pot, and other vices, patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination and b) that are Trump supporters, conservative, patriotic, Republican, American, White, male, older, non-poor, gun owners, Protestant, German American, draft avoiders, and those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time. How will your city council respond? How soon, if not already, will the BLMers and LGBTQ+ers in your municipality invite Shaun King to lead protests in your municipality? What if the BLMers and LGBTQ+ers in Wheaton succeed in doing that? How soon, if not already, will the leaders of the world, America, Illinois, your county, your township, your municipality, and your municipal district officially ban the promotion of traditional marriage and the traditional family, that is, how soon will the aforesaid leaders officially force you to promote LGBTQ+ activity? There are no protections for those like me who do not promote BLM and LGBTQ+ activity. How soon, if not already, will employers officially get rid of their employees who do not promote BLM and LGBTQ+ activity? How soon, if not already, will organizations officially get rid of their members who do not promote LGBTQ+ activity?

https://illinoisfamily.org/faith/fomenting-racism-in-the-21st-century/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The ideology of Black Lives Matter (BLM) and other “social justice” organizations teaches that all whites are racist oppressors, thereby justifying verbal attacks on people who are deemed inveterate racists and justifying riots to destroy everything that has emerged from an allegedly irremediable racist system. In promoting an explicitly racist ideology, BLM and other “social justice” organizations institutionalize racism, and we are suffering the fruits of that poisonous ideology. In the hell-bent quest by America-hating revolutionaries to destroy America by destroying its institutions and history, 60 monuments have been removed, ordered removed, defaced, or torn down.)

AMERICAN CONSERVATIVE
— So It Turns Out You’re A Racist Left-wing wokeness has become the totalitarianism it purports to hate, where you’re guilty unless you can ‘prove’ otherwise. – PETER VAN BUREN (DIERSEN: What do you say to Whites who promote hatred against other Whites to curry favor with those who hate Whites? What do you say to men who promote hatred against other men to curry favor with those who hate men? What do you say to older people who promote hatred against other older people to curry favor with those who hate older people?

https://www.theamericanconservative.com/articles/so-it-turns-out-youre-a-racist/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Am I a racist? Are you? People tell me I sort of have to be a racist, it’s not really my choice. Today, if you’re old, white, from the Midwest, a bit conservative, then you’re racist. Maybe you don’t say racist things specifically, and maybe you never did anything to disadvantage a black person yourself, but by original sin, you’re part of “systematic racism.“ Now maybe your immigrant parents arrived in the U.S. 75 years after slavery, or you as a white racist have trouble finding a privileged job that pays a living wage. No matter, you’re still privileged thanks to a system going back 400 years whether you like it or not. You can’t change what you are and people hate you for it. That’s the systemic part, defined as “not something that a few people choose to practice. Instead it has been a feature of the social, economic, and political systems in which we all exist.” I’d like to say that was from the news, but in recent days I heard most of that from a close relative, and the rest from a friend of many years, neither of whom want to interact with me anymore. I’ve been sending one checks since her birthdays were in the single digits. I grew up alongside the other. They have both taken themselves out of my life because the internet told them I am a racist. Crowd-sourced (what old timers call a mob) leftist fundamentalism has given us a country where everyone can be called a Nazi, er, racist, and dismissed. Once the red line was only actual Nazis. So no “Thank you, Elie Wiesel for that moving account. Now in rebuttal, Hitler’s deputy, Martin Bormann…” You had to be an actual Nazi to hold an opinion outside the boundaries of legitimacy. Not any more. Racism scholar Ibram Kendi says one is now either racist or anti-racist, that there is no room for such thing as a “non-racist.” The New York Times said white allies should “Text your relatives and loved ones telling them you will not be visiting them or answering phone calls until they take significant action in supporting black lives.” Another article described my own situation, claiming “BLM protesters are breaking up with their racist, Facebook-addled relatives.” A Twitter thread about one such family dissolution had over 800,000 likes. HuffPo ran an article by a biracial woman eviscerating her white mother for being too white.)

Needless-to-say, I should sue my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes. My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes are anti-Trump, anti-conservative, anti-patriotic, anti-Republican, anti-American, anti-White, anti-male, anti-older people, anti-rich people, anti-gun owners, anti-Protestant, anti-German Americans, anti-draft avoiders, and/or anti-those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time.)
https://www.forbes.com/sites/patriciagbarnes/2020/06/23/is-this-the-end-of-retirement/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: It is time to ask whether retirement remains a viable option for many (if not most) older workers due to back-to-back economic disasters and epidemic age discrimination. Older workers were slammed in 2007 when Wall Street collapsed and the nation was plunged into the worst economic recession in a hundred years. Today older workers face what a potentially worse situation due to mass layoffs caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Some businesses will close and jobs will be lost but, if the past is any indicator, others will use the opportunity afforded by economic chaos to simply get rid of older workers. And what will stop them? The major problem facing older workers today is age discrimination in hiring and that is, to a shocking degree, perfectly legal under federal law. Re-employment Rate When older workers lose jobs, they disproportionately are plunged into long-term unemployment and their chances of finding equivalent new work are slim.)

https://www.dailyherald.com/news/20200616/feder-winds-amy-jacobson-wins-battle-to-cover-pritzker-news-conferences
(FROM THE ARTICLE: In what supporters are hailing as a victory for press freedom, Amy Jacobson has won her battle to attend Governor J.B. Pritzker’s media briefings as a journalist, Robert Feder writes. Jacobson, who co-hosts mornings on Salem Media news/talk WIND 560-AM with Dan Proft, sued Pritzker and his press secretary, Jordan Abudayyeh, earlier this month for barring Jacobson from daily news conferences. Pritzker said Jacobson had forfeited her status as a reporter by “taking an extreme position” when she spoke at a Reopen Illinois rally May 16 protesting the governor’s stay-at-home order during the pandemic. Backed by Liberty Justice Center, a Chicago-based conservative public-interest litigation center, Jacobson and Salem claimed Pritzker’s ban violated Jacobson’s First Amendment rights to freedom of the press and free speech as well as her rights to equal protection and due process. On Monday Pritzker and Abudayyeh rescinded the ban and invited Jacobson “to participate in the Governor’s press access on the same basis as other journalists.” The walk-back came in the form of a letter from the office of Illinois Attorney General Kwame Raoul. “Ms. Jacobson may participate fully in the Governor’s press access, including but not limited to press briefings and conferences, to the same extent that any other media is allowed to participate,” read the letter, which was signed by Assistant Attorney General Michael Dierkes.)

NEW YORKER
— Taxpayers Have a Right to Know Who Is Getting Their Stimulus Money – John Cassidy (DIERSEN: Taxpayers have a right to know when the federal government takes adverse actions against its employees. 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 $20,157 (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.)

NEW YORK MAGAZINE
— Corporate America Loves Increasing Racial Inequality – Eric Levitz (DIERSEN: I wanted a career in the automotive industry. That all ended in 1971 when I was 22 years old when Oldsmobile rescinded a job offer that I had accepted saying that it had just agreed to stop hiring Whites to settle an EEOC complaint. That directly resulted in a) Firestone Stores firing me and b) my accepting a job offer from IRS. Democrats and RINOs use Affirmative Action, Diversity, and Inclusion to get rid of Republicans, and especially to get rid of Republicans who are White, male, older, and/or non-veteran.)

— Live for What Matters Most – Tim Hetzner (DIERSEN: What do you live for? One of the things that I live for defending/advancing the Republican Party platform with GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails. I spend 10+ hours each and every day putting GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails together and sending them out. Since 2004, those emails have gone out each and every morning, and since 2015, each and every evening too. Since 2004, those emails have included links to more than 369,900 articles and information about many upcoming events.)

I should write a book about my critics/opponents who hint/imply/argue/shout that I am NOT a reporter a) because I do not claim to be nonpartisan, b) because I am not paid for what I do as your GOPUSA Illinois Editor, c) because GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails do not contain pictures or advertising, c) because I do not have a degree in journalism, and d) because I do not pander to the Democrat news media in Illinois like they do.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: I In an unusual move at a news media organization, the head of Axios, a site popular with Beltway insiders, said in a memo that the company would support staff members who take part in public protests, a shift from the stance journalists normally adopt to avoid the appearance of partisanship. In a companywide email on Monday that was reviewed by The New York Times, Jim VandeHei, the co-founder and chief executive of Axios, said, “First, let me say we proudly support and encourage you to exercise your rights to free speech, press, and protest. If you’re arrested or meet harm while exercising these rights, Axios will stand behind you and use the Family Fund to cover your bail or assist with medical bills.”)

MERCURY NEWS & WBUR
— The rotten luck of graduating into a recession – Jill Schlesinger (DIERSEN: What year did you graduate from college? I graduated in 1970 from NIU with a bachelor’s degree in management. What negatively impacted your job search? For me, it was my being draft bait. My father had died suddenly in October of 1969. Potential employers did not believe that my financial hardship draft deferment application to support my mother and brother in Crete would be approved. Further, potential employers were under tremendous pressure to hire minorities, females, and veterans. Consequently, I took the only job offer that got — retail sales manager for the Firestone Store in Chicago Heights. The job did not really require a college degree. Constructively, I was the store’s salesman. Advancement opportunities were limited and slow. The store’s manager did not approve of my demographics (draft avoider, German-American, and Protestant). He never would have hired me, but Firestone Stores headquarters forced him to take me.)

Who they appoint to fill vacancies says more about them than anything that they can say about themselves. What do they think of their constituents who are Trump supporters, conservative, patriotic, Republican, American, White, male, older, heterosexual, non-poor, gun owners, Protestant, German American, draft avoiders, and those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time? )

A vocal advocate and supporter of social rights, Layman is involved in local events concerning self-pride and diversity, which she intends to make one of her key focuses in office. “Communication is key,” said Layman. “We need to make sure we’re speaking effectively to our people, but that we’re also hearing, listening and learning from them in turn.” Though it is her first time running for any public office, Layman believes she has the experience needed to speak for an evolving Huntington. She intends to prioritize inclusion, diversity and maintaining safety around the city, as well as pursuing programs to help clean the city.)
