— Millions of workers without job are going uncounted in the unemployment rate. (DIERSEN: In early 1998, when I was 49 years old, I gave up seeking a job that would be appropriate for someone with my education (master’s degrees in business, accounting, and finance), work experience (almost 18 years working for GAO, the last 13 years of which at the GS-13 Step 1-10 levels, currently $102,188-$132,845/year and almost 9 years working for IRS, the last 5 1/2 years at GS-12 Step-1-5 Levels, currently $85,935-$97,395/year), professional certifications (accounting, internal auditing, fraud examination, government financial management, financial services auditing, and forensic accounting), and professional license (CPA). I learned from prospective employers, and from other sources, that my Democrat GAO superiors were sabotaging my job search. In September of 1997, they had succeeded in forcing me to take their early retirement “offer.” Previously, they had given 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 $20,361 (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980. Previously, 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. Previously, my Democrat Post Office superiors forced me resign in 1969 and disallowed my sick leave requests in 1969 and 1968. I should write a book about the aforesaid.)

They hinted/implied/argued/shouted that the graduate business, accounting, and finance courses that I deducted a) were not job-related, b) did not help me carry out my job duties, c) were taken my me to qualify me for a “new trade or business,” d) were taken by me to get a job in the private sector, and e) were a distraction.)

— REMAP, NOT TRUMP, MAY OUST KINZINGER – Shia Kapos (DIERSEN: Democrats and Democrat plants, Libertarians and Libertarian plants, Greens and Green plants, Independents and Independent plants, and RINOs promote RINO elected officials and RINO party leaders who destroy the Republican Party.)
https://www.politico.com/newsletters/illinois-playbook/2021/03/15/remap-not-trump-may-oust-kinzinger-executive-orders-challenged-why-foxx-felt-triggered-492108
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Rep. Adam Kinzinger’s congressional seat could be eliminated when Illinois conducts its remap, according to the Cook Report’s David Wasserman. Taking out the current 16th Congressional District makes “geographic sense,” Wasserman said in his subscription-only report. He also tweeted how the new map might look amid the state’s expected one-seat loss. Democrats who control the remap because they also control the state House, Senate and governor’s mansion, are likely to redraw congressional lines to cushion neighboring Reps. Lauren Underwood and Cheri Bustos, who had tight races in their GOP-heavy districts last year. Democrats controlling the remap may also try to eliminate one of the five downstate GOP seats to account for the state’s loss. The 16th District stretches from Indiana up to the border with Wisconsin and touches the fast-growing Chicago exurbs and some downstate districts. “More rural/GOP parts of it could go to Rep. Darin LaHood’s 18th CD and Rep. Mary Miller’s 15th CD, while its Rockford suburbs and the liberal university town of DeKalb could go to Democratic seats,” writes Wasserman. Kinzinger has already made himself vulnerable by voting to impeach former President Donald Trump. Some Republicans are circling to defeat him in the primary, which Democrats see as an advantage. Catalina Lauf, who ran unsuccessfully in the 14th Congressional District last year, has even traveled to Mar-a-Lago resort to meet with Trump, who is on a campaign to defeat Republicans who voted to impeach him. “It’s too bad, because [Kinzinger is] the Republican we’d keep,” a Democratic insider told Wasserman. “But we can’t control their primaries.” RELATED: Republican state Rep. Tim Butler of Springfield has been appointed to serve as a GOP spokesman for the House Redistricting Committee, which will redraw the state’s Senate and House seats as well as congressional seats. Last week, we listed the Democrats who will lead Redistricting committees for the House and Senate, and we scooped the list of where the public redistricting hearings will be held.)

I would focus on those who focus on destroying those like me a) who they cannot manipulate or dominate, b) who refuse to glorify and praise them, c) who refuse to serve as one of their operatives or dupes, d) who refuse to pander to them, and/or e) refuse to give them money.)
https://mashable.com/article/why-we-dont-delete-facebook-account/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: “It’s really rough seeing people share articles and other media that are, quite literally, fake news,” Kuks said. “Yes, this happens on every social media site in existence, but I saw it the most on Facebook. That being said, I’m seeing a lot more posts being flagged stating whether the information that was shared is accurate or not. Do I fully trust that? No, I’ll continue to do my own research. But it’s a start.” For a lot of users, it isn’t that they don’t want to delete their Facebook — it’s that Facebook has become so intertwined with the way they live online that they can’t really escape it. To leave Facebook would be to shift the way they interact with the internet. That’s not an accident, of course. Whether we want it to be or not, Facebook is now a part of our internet DNA. In my search to find out why people who just don’t use their Facebook accounts hold onto them anyway, I discovered there are plenty of reasons inactive or under-active users keep their profiles around — from just-in-case scenarios of remembering important events, to holding onto the thread that keeps you connected to your family.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Conservative writer Michael Medved estimates that only 5% of whites in America “bear any authentic sort of generational guilt for the exploitation of slave labor.” Why should anyone but Democrats pay? Scholar Dinesh D’Souza notes that all but a “handful” of slave owners were Democrats. The Ku Klux Klan, at its height of power and popularity, was known by the NAACP as the “terror wing” of the Democratic Party. The KKK was founded by Democrats; I did not say by the Democratic Party, but by Democrats. As a percentage of their party, more House Republicans voted for the Civil Rights Act of 1964 than did House Democrats. As a percentage of their party, more Senate Republicans voted for the Civil Rights Act of 1964 than did Senate Democrats.)

WASHINGTON TIMES
— ‘So much shame’: Woke left-wingers increasingly embarrassed over White ‘privileged’ status – James Varney
https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2021/mar/8/white-privileged-status-embarrasses-woke-left-wing/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Once associated with Hollywood virtue signalers or those whose racist behavior was exposed by social media or video, apologizing for a White birthday suit has become more mainstream. Former CIA Director John O. Brennan, who currently opines as a paid MSNBC contributor, told the network’s audience last week that he was “increasingly embarrassed to be a white male.” In Amherst, Massachusetts, the Town Council issued a letter of apology and recommended its members for anti-racism training after a White female councilor attempted to participate in a community safety working group that was drafting alternative policing proposals. “As a Town Council of majority white people benefiting from white privilege, we need to continually push ourselves to be actively anti-racist and to be cognizant of the power dynamics that exist between us as elected officials and the members of the global majority including the Black, Indigenous and People of Color (BIPOC) in our community,” the letter said. The council approved the letter last month in an 8-1 vote. Americans are rushing to apologize as their institutions are being infused with critical race theory, an academic viewpoint that White people, all of them to at least some degree, maintain social and economic advantage by oppressing people of color. Meanwhile, The New York Times’ 1619 Project seeks to reframe the nation’s founding at the year when the first slave ship arrived on North American shores, making racism the dominant theme of the American experience. The mindset is increasingly prevalent in schools, government and corporate America. Students and workers are put through classes and seminars that brand all White people as oppressors regardless of their conscious thoughts and actions toward others.)

RINOs in the Republican party – Andrea Widburg (DIERSEN: RINOs reject planks in the Republican Party platform and focus on destroying those who support those planks.

I should write a book about RINOs. I would focus on those who have led the Illinois Republican Party, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Milton Township Republican Organization.

DISPATCH
— Democrats’ Election Bill Is a Disaster for Free Speech  The For the People Act has been hailed as an expansion of voters’ rights, but its real effect will be chilling political speech. – Ryan Morrison
https://thedispatch.com/p/democrats-election-bill-is-a-disaster
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Under the proposed law, an advocacy group that so much as mentions the name of a member of Congress in an ad about important issues will almost always have to expose its major donors. For example, a group could advocate for or against “Biden’s COVID Recovery Bill” and the new regulations will apply. The donors may not know about the ad and may not even agree with its message. It doesn’t matter. They still will be listed on the group’s government filings and posted on the internet for the world to see. Naturally, potential donors will hesitate to give to an organization, especially if the group promotes controversial issues. Think about it. The government is requiring nonprofits to create an “enemies list” for their political opponents. And politicians are not bashful about using this kind of information. For example, in 2019, Rep. Joaquin Castro tweeted the names and employers of major Trump donors in his congressional district. Almost immediately, donors were flooded with harassing and threatening phone calls. No one deserves this abuse, regardless of their political beliefs. Political participation should not come with the risk of a mob showing up in your front yard or losing your job as the latest victim of today’s cancel culture. The consequence of all this will be less speech. Fewer individuals will give to causes they believe in for fear of receiving threats or harassment. Nonprofits will think twice before speaking about the government so they can protect their donors. In a country that prides itself on freedom of political expression, people will be silenced, and organizations will not advocate for their causes.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: The US Department of Education suspended a decision that found racial “affinity groups” discriminated against students and staff, The Post has learned. The goal of the programs — used by the New York City public school system and other school districts — is to separate students and staff by racial groups in order to help address discrimination and “white privilege.” But the practice of separating schools into racial groups is discriminatory, a determination obtained by the Post found. The findings — reached during the waning days of former President Trump’s time in office in early January — were in response to a complaint about a Chicago-area school district’s “racial equity” training programs and lesson plans.)
