LEONARD MEMORIAL FUNERAL HOME
— Barbara Murphy DECEMBER 24, 1937 ~ MARCH 3, 2019 (AGE 81)
https://www.leonardmemorialhome.com/notices/Barbara-Murphy
(FROM THE POSTING: Barbara A Murphy, a resident of Glen Ellyn since 1962, passed away Sunday March 3rd. Barbara was the longest serving DuPage County Republican Chairwoman. She was dedicated to good government and the Republican Party. She began her career as a volunteer for Richard Nixon’s campaign in California in 1960. She was the first woman to be elected as a Milton Township Trustee and the first woman to be elected as Chairman of the Milton Township Republican Central Committee’s organization. Barbara served under Secretaries of State George Ryan and later, Jesse White as a member of the Illinois Motor Vehicle Review Board. By the appointment of Governor Jim Edgar, she served for 5 years on the Illinois Toll Highway Advisory Board. Barbara was a State Central Committeewoman for the 6th Congressional District in the 1980’s. Concurrently she was on the Board of DuPage Civic Center Authority and the DuPage County Domestic Violence Task Force. She always credited Chairman James ‘Pate’ Philip for including her as the only woman in the proverbial “all male smoke filled” meetings. Just as the Republican National Conventions were the highlight of her political career, her satisfaction in mentoring a person who wanted to become involved in the political system was her greatest Fulfillment. Barbara was a strong believer in inclusiveness and loyalty. Barbara was a member of the Inland Western Retail Sales Trust Board. She was a founding member of “The Friends of Family Shelter.” And a former co-owner of the “Daffy Down Dilly” gift shop. Growing up in Connecticut, Barbara attended Greenwich Academy and Skidmore College. She is survived by her sons, David (Patti), Jeffrey (Kim), Brooks (Amy), Bradley (Bridget), nine grandchildren and five great-grandchildren. Arrangement details coming soon.)

— When Trump demeans others, he is undermining democracy – Michael Gerson (DIERSEN: Who demeans you and why? I should write a book about those who demean 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. They all played major roles in ending my TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois chairmanship, ending my Wheaton Chamber of Commerce Government Affairs Committee membership, ending my Milton Township Republican Central Committee (MTRCC) webmaster service, ending my Illinois Center Right Coalition (ICRC) Steering Committee membership, almost getting ICRC to censure me, defeating my bid to serve as MTRCC Treasurer, ending my American Association of Political Consultants Midwest Chapter board membership, ending my GAO employment, etc. Of course, the aforesaid deny that they demean me. According to them, I brought all the aforesaid adverse actions on me all by myself.)

Of course, needless-to-say, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have always used that against me. In my defense, I stress that my grandfather on my father’s side fought the Germans during WWI, that my uncles on my mother’s side fought the Germans during WWII, and that my father would have fought the Germans during WWII if he had not been 4-F. Further, according to http://dna.ancestry.com, my ancestry is 33% Europe West, 28% Scandinavia, 24% Great Britain, 11% Ireland, 2% Europe East, 1% Finland/Northwest Russia, and 1% Italy/Greece.

DAILY JOURNAL
— Don’t blame conservatives, business for your personal failures – Mike Pflum, Martinsville (DIERSEN: What do your critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes blame your personal failures on? Of course, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes blame me and blame me only for my personal failures. They hint/imply/argue/shout that if they were me, they would still be the TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois chairman, a Wheaton Chamber of Commerce Government Affairs Committee member, the Milton Township Republican Central Committee webmaster, an Illinois Center Right Coalition Steering Committee member, an American Association of Political Consultants Midwest Chapter board member, a GAO employee, etc.)
http://www.dailyjournal.net/2019/03/05/letter_dont_blame_conservatives_business_for_your_personal_failures/
(FROM THE LETTER: When our youth increasingly quit school, take drugs, commit a felony or produce a child, often prior to their first job interview, they trigger a death spiral from which most never recover. That, Mr. Smith, is why so many Americans are living a nightmare of declining quality of life. That is why the speed of an increasingly technical world frequently leaves them behind. I am always saddened when I see our youth willingly saddle themselves with these crippling obstructions to personal success. However that pales in comparison to the anger I feel for those who enable personal failure by assigning blame everywhere other than where it belongs. Life is the sum total of the individual choices we make — good and bad. Unfortunately, that means the real world is often a cruel and unfair place that is hardly ever welcoming of the unprepared. It does not mean it is the fault of conservatives or big business.)

GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— How can www.gopillinois.com get a better NewsGuard rating? Please consider NewsGuard’s rating criteria at https://www.newsguardtech.com/ratings/rating-process-criteria/ or below and email me at diersen@aol.com or phone me at 630-653-0462 with your suggestions. – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com
(FROM THE POSTING: RATING CRITERIA  Here are the nine criteria that NewsGuard uses to assess websites. Each criterion is worth a certain number of points out of 100, as indicated below. A site with a score of 60 points or higher receives a green rating. A site with a score lower than 60 points receives a red rating. In every case, the NewsGuard Nutrition Labels that are provided for each site (by clicking on the rating) spell out the site’s adherence to each of the nine criteria that yielded that source’s particular rating.

 

The criteria below are listed in order of their importance in determining a red rating. For example, failure to adhere to the first criteria—publishing false content—is more influential in determining a red rating than failure to reveal information about content creators.

 

Credibility

— Doesn’t repeatedly publish false content: In the last three years the site has not produced multiple stories that have been found—either by journalists at NewsGuard or elsewhere—to be clearly false, and which have not been quickly and prominently corrected. (22 Points. A label with a score lower than 60 points gets a red rating.)

 

— Gathers and presents information responsibly: Content on the site is created by reporters, writers, videographers, researchers, or other information providers who generally seek to be accurate and fair in gathering, reporting, and interpreting information, even if they approach their work from a strong point of view. They do this by referencing multiple sources, preferably those that present direct, first-hand information on a subject or event. (18 Points)

 

— Regularly corrects or clarifies errors: The site makes clear how to contact those in charge and has effective practices for publishing clarifications and corrections. (12.5 Points)

 

— Handles the difference between news and opinion responsibly: Content providers who convey the impression that they report news or a mix of news and opinion distinguish opinion from news reporting, and when reporting news, they do not regularly or egregiously misstate, distort, or cherry pick facts, or egregiously cherry pick stories, to advance opinions. Content providers whose clearly expressed purpose is to advance a particular point of view do not regularly and egregiously misstate or distort facts to make their case. (12.5 Points)

 

— Avoids deceptive headlines: The site generally does not publish headlines that include false information, significantly sensationalize, or otherwise do not reflect what is actually in the story. (10 Points)

 

Transparency


— Website discloses ownership and financing: The site discloses its ownership and/or financing, as well as any notable ideological or political positions held by those with a significant financial interest in the site, in a user-friendly manner. (7.5 Points)

 

— Clearly labels advertising: The site makes clear which content is paid for and which is not. (7.5 Points)

 

— Reveals who’s in charge: Information about those in charge of the content is made accessible on the site. (5 Points)

 

— The site provides the names of content creators, along with either contact information or biographical information: Information about those producing the content is made accessible on the site. (5 Points))

I had passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, completed the requirements for a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980, passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981, and became a licensed CPA in 1981.

That work required assuring the accuracy and support for each and every word, number, table, graph, chart, conclusion, opinion, and recommendation in GAO reports. I worked for IRS 1971-1980, the last 5 1/2 years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 levels, currently $81,071-$91,880. My other fact checking qualifications include my becoming a Forensic Accountant in 1997, a Certified Fraud Examiner in 1990, a licensed CPA in 1981, a Certified Internal Auditor in 1981, and a CPA in 1979.)

It always takes place from the bottom on up.“ He spoke about wealth gaps and other inequalities between black and white Americans as well. “Today, the infant mortality rate in black communities is more than double the rate for white communities,” he said, “and the death rates from cancer and almost every disease is far higher for blacks.”)

GO LOCAL PROV
— OUTSTANDING: Congress Gears Up Legislative Efforts to Combat Age Discrimination – Herb Weiss (DIERSEN: All my critics/opponents, all their operatives, and all their dupes promote age discrimination a) because they want to get rid of those who are older than they are and/or b) because they want to curry favor with those who promote age discrimination.)
https://www.golocalprov.com/news/weiss-congress-gears-up-legislative-efforts-to-combat-age-discrimination
(FROM THE ARTICLE: With the 116th Congress beginning on January 3, 2019, Congress moves quickly to protect older Americans from rampant age discrimination. It is a key reason why Americans, age 40 and over, are fired or offered buyouts (with younger persons being hired in their place) and why they can’t find work after a period of unemployment and struggle to return to the workforce.  On Valentine’s Day, U.S. Sen. Bob Casey (D-Pa.), Ranking Member of the Special Committee on Aging, with cosponsors Sens. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.) and Susan Collins (R-Maine) re-introduced S 485, The Protecting Older Workers Against Discrimination Act (POWADA). The bill was referred to the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions. Fixing a Supreme Court Ruling Over a decade ago, a U.S. Supreme Court ruling in Gross v. FBL Financial Services weakened the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA) by imposing a significantly higher burden of proof on older workers alleging age discrimination than is required of workers alleging other forms of workplace discrimination. As a result, workers that allege age discrimination must meet an undue legal burden not faced by workers alleging discrimination based on race, sex, national origin or religion. This sent a clear signal to employers: some age discrimination is perfectly fine. Enacting the bipartisan POWADA bill would restore the pre-Gross standard, recognizing once again the legitimacy of so-called “mixed-motive” claims in which discrimination is a, if not the deciding, factor. It would also reaffirm that workers may use any type of admissible evidence to prove their claims.)

 

PC MAGAZINE
— How to Spot Fake News Online Not sure which sources to trust when you’re online? These browser plug-ins and online tools can help you figure out how to detect fake news sites. – Lance Whitney (DIERSEN: What do you suggest that I to improve the ranking that NewsGuard gives www.gopillinois.com ?)

https://www.pcmag.com/feature/366512/how-to-spot-fake-news-online
(FROM THE ARTICLE: NewsGuard relies on a team of journalists who analyze more than 2,000 news and information sites in the United States. Each site is evaluated and ranked on nine different criteria: Does the site repeatedly publish false content? Does it gather and present information responsibly? Does it regularly correct or clarify errors? Does it handle the difference between news and opinion responsibly? Does it avoid deceptive headlines? Does it disclose ownership and financing about itself? Does it clearly label advertising? Does it reveal who’s in charge, including possible conflicts of interest? Does it provide information about content creators? Each criteria is given a certain weighting, or number of points, to determine the site’s overall rating. A site earns a green rating if it meets basic standards of accuracy and accountability. A site is dinged with a red rating if it fails to meet those minimum standards.)

— Draft registration and gender discrimination – Brett Kepley (DIERSEN: Were you draft bait? I was draft bait 1966-1971. Employers are extremely reluctant to hire, to retain, or to promote those who are draft bait. I graduated from NIU in August of 1970. During 1970 and 1971, potential employers did not believe that my application for a financial hardship draft deferment to help support my mother and brother would be approved. Consequently, in August of 1970, I took the only job that was offered me, a job that did not really require a college degree.)

They shout that the federal government grossly overpaid me and that my federal retirement benefits are much too generous. In my defense, my ancestors always lived in northeast Illinois, they all were Republicans, and they never had enough money to discriminate against anyone even if they wanted to.)

Since I became a Republican Precinct Committeeman in 1999, I have been on the lists of those who dominate the Milton Township Republican Central Committee (MTRCC). Since I became the GOPUSA Illinois Editor in 2000, I have been on the lists of those who dominate the MTRCC, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and the Illinois Republican Party. While I served as a TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois chairman, a Wheaton Chamber of Commerce Government Affairs Committee member, the MTRCC webmaster, an Illinois Center Right Coalition Steering Committee member, and an American Association of Political Consultants Midwest Chapter board member, I was always on the lists of those who dominated the aforesaid organizations. While I worked for the federal government for almost 30 years, I was always on my Democrat superiors’ lists of their employees to get rid of.

— Kinzinger has a right to speak his opinion when he’s off-duty – Editorial (DIERSEN: While I worked for the federal government for almost 30 years, and while I was “on duty,” I complained about political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation. In 1988, when I was 40 years old, I became an active member in a class action lawsuit that charged my superiors with reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation. According to laws enforced by EEOC, I had “a right” to do that. According to the EEOC, “It is also illegal to retaliate against a person because he or she complained about discrimination, filed a charge of discrimination, or participated in an employment discrimination investigation or lawsuit. The law forbids discrimination in every aspect of employment.” SEE: https://www.eeoc.gov/laws/practices/ My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes side with the federal government against me. I should write a book about my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes.)

ILLINOIS REVIEW
— WHERE’S WEYERMULLER? MINGLING WITH DUPAGE COUNTY GOPERS (DIERSEN: I had the honor of being at the table in the first picture in this article.)
https://www.illinoisreview.com/illinoisreview/2019/03/wheres-weyermuller-mingling-with-dupage-county-gopers.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: These are some of the issues in contention among the IL GOP faithful: Abortion 2nd amendment Border wall Illinois new minimum wage President Donald J Trump Some party leaders have indicated the IL GOP might have to take surveys of what Republicans believe and want for Illinois. Some Illinois Republicans do not wish to highlight these subjects. Many in the state – especially the conservative base – wants the party to ramp it up on these issues. The fact the Peter Roskam and Randy Hultgren lost their Congressional re-elections indicates they played it too close to the vest trying to be “moderate.” The days of Jim Edgar, Bruce Rauner, and Mark Kirk are over. To win elections in the future, Republicans need to go back to traditional values. Socialism and expansion of government with more tax, spend, regulate, and borrow needs to be shown that it doesn’t work. The Illinois GOP Platform needs to be inclusive, conservative, pro-family, pro 2nd amendment, pro less taxes, pro Trump, pro-freedom, and pro-America.)

My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have always hinted/implied/argued/shouted a) that instead of me, the Post Office should have hired a minority in 1966, b) that the Post Office should gotten rid of me much sooner than it did so that a Black could have my job, c) that instead of me, IRS should have hired a Black in 1971, d) that instead of me, IRS should have promoted Blacks in 1972, 1973, and 1974, e) that instead of me, GAO should have hired a Black in 1980, f) that instead of me, GAO should have promoted a Black in 1986, and g) that GAO should have gotten rid of me much sooner than it did so that a Black could have my job and my preferred corner office.)

https://www.nytimes.com/2019/02/28/opinion/ivanka-trump-social-mobility.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The key observation, based on a growing body of research, is that when it comes to upward social mobility, the U.S. is truly exceptional — that is, it performs exceptionally badly. Americans whose parents have low incomes are more likely to have low incomes themselves, and less likely to make it into the middle or upper class, than their counterparts in other advanced countries. And those who are born affluent are, correspondingly, more likely to keep their status.)

GALLUP
— Reparations and Black Americans’ Attitudes About Race – FRANK NEWPORT (DIERSEN: How much in reparations do your critics/opponents hint/imply/argue/shout that you should pay and why? My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have always hinted/implied/argued/shouted that I should pay lots of reparations because I am White, male, old (born in 1948), Protestant (baptized, raised, and confirmed as a Missouri Synod Lutheran), conservative, Republican, non-poor, draft avoider, I worked for the federal government for almost 30 years, that is, I held jobs that minorities and females should have had instead of me, and my ancestors have been in America since 1844. In my defense, my ancestors have always lived in northeast Illinois and they discriminated against no one. In my defense, in 1997, I succumbed to my Democrat superiors and took their early retirement “offer” so that they could my job and my preferred corner office to a Democrat minority.)
https://news.gallup.com/opinion/polling-matters/247178/reparations-black-americans-attitudes-race.aspx
(FROM THE ARTICLE: One key finding: Only 18% of blacks are satisfied with the way blacks are treated in this country today, compared with 51% of whites who say they are satisfied with the way blacks are treated. Well over half of blacks believe that blacks are treated less favorably than whites in dealing with the police, in stores and malls, and on the job. About half of blacks say blacks are treated less favorably in neighborhood shops, in restaurants and in getting healthcare. More than one in five black Americans say that within the last 30 days they were treated unfairly in stores, in restaurants or by the police. Slightly fewer, but still substantial numbers, say that they have been treated unfairly at work or in receiving healthcare. A slight majority of blacks are pessimistic about the future, saying that relations between blacks and whites will always be a problem in this country. Black Americans also clearly believe that government actions should be taken to help bring about change. Over seven in 10 blacks favor affirmative action programs for racial minorities in this country, and a majority of 57% of whites agree. Previous Gallup research has shown that about two-thirds of black Americans believe the U.S. government should play a major role in trying to improve the social and economic position of blacks and other minority groups in this country. Over seven in 10 blacks believe that new civil rights laws are needed in this country to reduce discrimination against blacks. What about reparations per se? Several polls in recent years have shown majority black support for the concept. A YouGov online survey in 2014 showed roughly six in 10 black Americans said that the U.S. government should offer cash payments and education and job training programs to the descendants of slaves. A Kaiser Family Foundation/CNN survey from 2015 found that 52% of blacks said that “as a way to make up for the harm caused by slavery” the government should “make cash payments to Black Americans who are descendants of slaves” (8% of whites agreed). A Marist poll from 2016 showed that 58% of blacks supported the idea for reparations for African-American descendants of slaves. Overall, blacks in the U.S. have continuing concerns about discrimination and structural impediments to their success, and most believe that the government must step in and do more to help this situation. The concept of reparations per se is broad, and the exact level of black support for the idea depends on how it is defined. But we know that at least a majority of blacks appear from past polling to be in favor — not surprising given the general context of black support for the government actively addressing race inequalities in the U.S. today.)

DUPAGE COUNTY STATE’S ATTORNEY
— County Moves to Close Alleged Adult Business in Wheaton
https://www.dupageco.org/States_Attorney/States_Attorney_News/2019/60188/
(FROM THE PRESS RELEASE: DuPage County State’s Attorney Robert Berlin and DuPage County Board Chairman Dan Cronin announced today that DuPage County has filed a lawsuit against Hot Shots Photography Studio, located at 0N758 Gary Avenue, Wheaton, alleging that the business has been operating as an adult business and not as a photography studio as advertised. This morning, the State’s Attorney’s Office filed a verified complaint for injunctive relief and zoning violations against Hot Shots, alleging violations of the DuPage County Zoning Ordinance and state statutes regarding the location of adult entertainment facilities and adult business uses. The lawsuit alleges that Hot Shots advertised on adult websites commonly used to advertise adult escort services by placing personal ads that included a telephone number to call for escort services. The suit alleges that respondents to the ad would be screened by an employee of Hot Shots and then directed to the Gary Avenue location. The lawsuit further alleges that once a respondent entered Hot Shots they were charged $100 as a cover fee and then directed to a room where the respondent would be met by an employee of Hot Shots who would discuss services and payment, with payment “ranging from $500 to $1,500.” The suit further alleges that after receiving payment, employees of Hot Shots would then engage in sexual activity with the respondent. In November, 2018, the DuPage County Sheriff’s Office began an undercover investigation into potential illegal activity and/or prostitution occurring at Hot Shots. The alleged findings of the investigation, according to the suit, “cause Hot Shots to be defined as an adult business use as defined in the DuPage County Zoning Ordinance, and thus constitutes a basis by which that use violates the ordinance.” Additionally, the suit alleges that “the business operations of Hot Shots are such that a significant or substantial portion of such operations involve an activity distinguished or characterized by its emphasis on matters depicting, describing or relating to specified sexual activities.”)

The Five co-host Williams is frequently the lone dissenting voice against the show’s pro-President Donald Trump panels. Wednesday’s show became particularly tense after a red-faced Gutfeld demanded that Williams stop speaking negatively about the president and House Republicans or “I’m going to throw you off the set.” The breakdown occurred after Williams accused Gutfeld and co-host Jesse Watters of being “deep in the bunker,” which Gutfeld took as an Adolf Hitler reference.)

MARKET WATCH
— Improved Social Security COLA would help seniors stay ahead of inflation A more generous policy would keep more older Americans out of poverty – MAX RICHTMAN
https://www.marketwatch.com/story/improved-social-security-cola-would-help-seniors-stay-ahead-of-inflation-2019-02-28
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Retirees across America consistently tell us that their annual COLAs simply are not adequate. And they have a reason to be concerned. Though the 2019 COLA is a decent 2.8%, these adjustments historically have not kept pace with seniors’ rising expenses. In fact, for three of the past 10 years there were no cost-of-living increases — zero. In 2017, the COLA was a scant 0.3% — or a meager $4 a month for the average beneficiary. Simply put, retirees need a COLA that accurately reflects the effects of inflation on their cost of living. The current index, the CPI-W, is pegged to urban wage earners’ living expenses, and tends to underestimate what seniors spend on big ticket items like housing and medical care. By the same token, retirees purchase less gasoline than working-age Americans, even though the cost of gas figures prominently into the current inflation index. As the Center for Retirement Security explains, “In 2016, retirees received no COLA specifically because the cost of oil plummeted. The low cost of gasoline offset [actual inflation] in other areas.” Fortunately, a better formula exists. It’s called the Consumer Price Index for the Elderly — or CPI-E — based on a ‘basket’ of goods and services that reflects older Americans’ spending patterns. The CPI-E just got a big boost from Congressman John Larson (D-Conn.), who included it in his bill to expand retirement benefits, The Social Security 2100 Act. “Seniors have been seeing rises in food…housing, and medical costs, without always receiving adequate increases in the COLA. We must do better and work toward a comprehensive solution,” Congressman Larson said.)
