Ways in which diversity programs win and fail – Tanjia Coleman (COMMENT: While I worked for the federal government for almost 30 years, my superiors were always under tremendous pressure from Democrat politicians to hire, to retain, and to promote Democrats, and especially Democrats who were minority, female, and/or younger. While I have served as a Republican Precinct Committeeman since 1999, the Illinois Republican Party, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Milton Township Republican Organization have always been under tremendous pressure to recruit, to retain, and to promote those who are minority, female, and/or younger.)

Bob Hope was an American first, and he gently ribbed those who were in power.)

They stressed that I was baptized, raised, and confirmed as a Missouri Synod Lutheran, that I was 100% German national origin, that I was conservative, that I was Republican, that I lived in Crete 1948-1972, and that I have lived in Wheaton since 1978. In my defense, I stressed that all my ancestors immigrated during the 1840s and 1850s, that my grandfather on my father’s side fought the Germans in 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.

These people are adults, right? – Christopher Bedford (COMMENT: For a White male Republican to be called a racist in America today is like being called a Jew in Germany during the 1930s, if not the 1940s. Ever-increasingly, Democrats, Libertarians, Greens, Independents, and RINOs hint/imply/argue/shout that White male Republicans are racists. How should White male Republicans respond?)

TOWNHALL
— The Fight Over Identity – Ben Shapiro (COMMENT: Democrats do not want Americans to see themselves first as being Americans. Instead, Democrats want Americans who are a) minority to see themselves first as being minorities, b) female to see themselves first as being females, c) younger to see themselves first as being younger, d) LGBTQ to see themselves first as being LGBTQ, e) Democrat to see themselves first as being Democrat, f) Trump-haters to see themselves first as being Trump-haters, g) moderate/liberal to see themselves first as being moderate liberal, h) non-Christian to see themselves first as being non-Christian, i) non-Protestant to see themselves first as being non-Protestant, j) non-Italian American to see themselves first as being non-Italian American, k) non-German American to see themselves first as being non-German American, l) those whose ancestors have not been in America for a long time to see themselves first as being those whose ancestors have not been in America for a long time, and m) those who have financial, health, and/or other problems to see themselves first as being those who have financial, health, and/or other problems.)
https://townhall.com/columnists/benshapiro/2021/08/18/the-fight-over-identity-n2594324
(FROM THE ARTICLE: America has been wrecked on the shoals of identity. Identity politics has been characterized casually as a form of tribalism: Americans grouping themselves according to biological or sexual characteristics, in opposition to other groups associated by biological or sexual characteristics. And there is certainly truth to the idea that such tribalism has damaged America in extraordinary ways — that tribalism acts as the sort of factionalism the founding fathers feared, tearing Americans from each other and forcing them into polarized units competing against others in a battle over control. But there is another form of identity politics even more sinister than the sort of tribalism we see so openly today. That is a form of identity politics that focuses less on politics than on identity: the redefinition of identity itself.)

— Can journalists and educators bridge the news literacy gap? – Lauren Harris (DIERSEN: What voids do you fill? I use GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters to fill the tremendous Illinois Republican Party, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Milton Township Republican Organization communication voids. Ever-increasingly, the aforesaid organizations act like they have stricken the traditional marriage/family, right to life, immigration, illegal drugs, Second Amendment, equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving), and other planks in the Republican Party platform. Ever-increasingly, the aforesaid organizations act like they do NOT oppose the promotion of dependency on government, dependency on charity, LGBTQ, BLM, CRT, 1619, reparations, abortion, mass/illegal immigration, booze, gambling, pot, and other vices, abolition of the First and Second Amendments, patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, or age discrimination. Ever-increasing, the aforesaid organizations act like they have been infiltrated by and taken over by Democrat plants, Libertarian plants, Green plants, Independent plants, and RINOs.)
https://www.cjr.org/business_of_news/journalists-and-educators-bridge-gaps.php

— A Real Recovery for Women Cannot Happen Without the Build Back Better Agenda – Lily Roberts (DIERSEN: GAO hired me in 1980 because it could not find a qualified woman who would take the job.

— Focus on the suburbs (DIERSEN: Political parties exist to help elect candidates who can and will defend and advance their platform. Illinois Democrat, Libertarian, Green, Independent, and RINO major donors and political consultants want Republicans to lose. Ever-increasingly, they shout at Illinois Republican candidates and party leaders that they should a) dump the traditional marriage/family, right to life, immigration, illegal drugs, Second Amendment, and equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) planks in the Republican Party and b) dump Republicans who support any of the aforesaid planks. Further, Illinois Democrat, Libertarian, Green, Independent, and RINO major donors and political consultants ever-increasingly hint/imply/argue/shout at Illinois Republican candidates and party leaders that they should a) promote hatred against Trump and b) glorify and praise Kinzinger. I should write a book about Illinois Republican candidates and party leaders who have talked and/or acted the most like they have taken the aforesaid advice.)
https://capitolfax.com/2021/08/10/focus-on-the-suburbs/
(FROM RICH MILLER: The hard truth is the Republican Party has been scaring away suburban voters in droves for 20 years in Illinois (with some exceptions) with the issues they choose to run on and the types of people they nominate. Also, the sort of person who can gin up a ton of Downstate turnout is not generally the type who can play well in the suburbs. Bruce Rauner did it (barely winning the primary) and eventually brought peace to the party in 2018, but then eventually created loads of chaos.)

AMERICAN RENAISSANCE
— What’s Ahead for Whites – Jared Taylor (DIERSEN: I should write a book about turncoat Whites who promote hatred against Whites, and especially against Whites who are law enforcement officers, Trump supporters, conservative, patriotic, Republican, American, male, older, non-veteran, heterosexual, married, non-poor, gun owners, Christian, Protestant, Italian American, German American, and/or those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time.)
https://www.amren.com/videos/2021/08/whats-ahead-for-whites/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: What’s ahead for white people in this country? First, there will be fewer of us. . .And we’re getting more non-whites. . .If you think this is a “great replacement,” Wikipedia says you believe in “a white nationalist conspiracy theory.” . . . Our country treats whites like a problem that must be solved. . .Every big organization has an army of people promoting “diversity.” Diversity means fewer white people, especially white men. . .You’ve heard of Critical Race Theory, which says all white people have unfair privileges and oppress everyone else whether we want to or not. That’s just our nature. . .Not one elected official talks about the interests of whites. I can’t remember when a politician even said anything good about white people. We are citizens of this country, but we might as well be stateless people who are just allowed to live here. Our government treats us like an embarrassment. The George Floyd riots were an eruption of contempt for whites. . .So, what’s ahead? More non-whites and their white “allies” will make policy. Blacks and Hispanics can’t succeed the way we do, so there will be ruthless preferences for them that will mean discrimination against us. Congress could pass new laws, but it won’t have to. Every non-white preference today is based on “civil rights” laws that were supposed to ban racial discrimination – so laws don’t matter. There could be race quotas for directors and executives of all companies. Race quotas for juries and grand juries – and these would be floors, not ceilings. Our rulers will pressure private companies to muzzle dissidents. They could tell banks not to give us mortgages. Cut off our electricity, water, telephone. If that doesn’t work, call what we say hate speech and make it a crime. If the Supreme Court tries to save the First Amendment, pack the court. Impose a “reparations” tax. Every white person making more than a certain amount would pay an additional 10 percent of gross income. There could be an even bigger “white privilege” tax on inheritances. Whites got their wealth through oppression, so they shouldn’t be able to pass it on. Make anyone buying a gun sign a diversity pledge. Impose a stiff anti-hate tax on any marriage license granted to two white people. “Progressive stacking” will become routine. That means, in a group, white people – especially white men – speak last. And when whites speak in public, they will start by confessing their white privilege and apologize for standing on land they stole. The CDC, along with 200 local jurisdictions, says racism is a “serious public health threat.” Declare white neighborhoods a public health threat and force them to integrate. We did it with school busing; we can do it with neighborhoods. I don’t know if all these things will happen; some will, for sure. But oppression will intensify at different rates in different places, so whites will gather in the least oppressive ones. You can move to one of those places. Whites will eventually elect representatives who stand up for them. You should be a part of that. The bitter truth is, we can’t save the whole country. We built it and we made it great, but it’s not ours anymore. Our goal should be local autonomy and eventual independence, so encourage all secession movements. Liberals are vicious, but if we are determined to leave, I don’t think they will kill us just to keep our corpses in the Union. Our rulers hate our history and despise us. They should be happy to see us go. So, it’s up to us to make this happen, and up to us alone. The decision is ours. If we want a place of our own on this continent, where we can be an outpost of Europe – without apologies and for ever – we have to make it happen.)

To justify getting rid of its older White male employees, the Democrats who ran GAO dramatically cut the work that GAO did that required accounting knowledge. Suddenly, the following became worthless in GAO’s eyes: a) my having passed the CPA on my first attempt in 1979, b) my earning a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980, c) my passing the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981, d) my becoming a licensed CPA in 1981, e) my serving on the Association of Government Accountants Chicago Chapter Executive Committee 1983-1996, and f) my becoming a Certified Fraud Examiner in 1990, Certified Government Financial Manager in 1994, Certified Financial Services Auditor in 1996, and Forensic Accountant in 1997.)
https://fordauthority.com/2021/08/previous-ford-downsizing-initiative-subject-of-ongoing-lawsuit/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Ford, like many larger corporations, occasionally has to lay people off, change up its structure, or offer buyouts to accomplish either. As Ford Authority exclusively reported earlier this week, Ford Motor Company has initiated a buyout program for certain white-collar workers and teams dedicated to ICE-powered vehicles that includes six months of salary and healthcare benefits. However, a federal age discrimination lawsuit filed by eight employees alleges that the automaker targeted high-performing, older workers during the Ford downsizing process dubbed “Smart Redesign” back in 2019, according to the Detroit Free Press. According to internal Ford documents, under then-CEO Jim Hackett, the automaker hired Boston Consulting Group and tasked it with identifying employees that would present the most cost savings if their employment was terminated in the Ford downsizing effort. The lawsuit alleges that the consulting group used an algorithm that took into account the age of employees and their years of service. The latter bit is significant because employees hired prior to January 1st, 2004, were eligible for pension payments, which have, to date, cost Ford millions of dollars.)

EPOCH TIMES
— To Save America, Run for School Board – Roger L. Simon
https://www.theepochtimes.com/to-save-america-run-for-school-board_3933758.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Forget Congress, the Senate, or whatever glamorous position you ever fantasized about or not, even president of the United States, if you want to have a serious impact from your work, if, as they say, you want to make a difference, to change this country for the good in the short and long term, run for your local school board. You would be saving America from turning into the bleakest, socialist-communist state imaginable because that is what our current educational system, K-12, is designed to do and, sadly, has been successful in doing, literally for decades—and it’s only getting worse. You would in the process also be a true revolutionary in the tradition of the Founders of our country in bringing back truth, justice and the American way to our children and our children’s children. Someone’s gotta do it—the hour is late. But you, dear reader, can save us, especially if we band together—and there are plenty of us to do it. Please consider running for the school board to radically change a highly-corrupt and evil leftwing educational system, which has crossed the border into child abuse. The failure of this current system rests on two mutually reinforcing planes. One, indoctrination, rather than actual education, has become the overwhelming goal of our system from pre-school and kindergarten onwards.)

GALESBURG REGISTER MAIL
— Churches succumbing to immoral ways – Thomas Mosher, Victoria (DIERSEN: The Democrat, Libertarian, and Green party platforms are extremely anti-religious. Churches should speak out against the promotion of dependency on government, dependency on charity, LGBTQ, BLM, CRT, 1619, reparations, abortion, mass/illegal immigration, booze, gambling, pot, and other vices, abolition of the First and Second Amendments, patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination.)
https://www.galesburg.com/story/opinion/letters/2021/07/31/letter-churches-succumbing-immoral-ways/5439463001/
(FROM THE LETTER: A sign of the times? Many of our Christian denominations are succumbing to the whims and immoral ways of secular society. They call it “inclusion” and “diversity.” Many churches have accepted non-traditional marriage and also treat abortion as if our God would accept those “choices.” Compromising with those specific issues is not in accordance with his word or his will. Our church pews are full of sinners, but those sinners are seeking forgiveness. Our God loves all repentant sinners but he detests their sin. He will not accept nor forgive any unrepentant sin. All sin must be addressed from the pulpit even if addressing them steps on some toes and results in fewer people in the pews. Our churches have been under tremendous stress. We must stand up and speak up about what is happening in our specific denomination. Our church’s failure to deal with certain sin dishonors our relationship with God. We are dishonoring the name of Christ, and we will be held accountable. Christian churches must separate themselves from the liberal elements that accept what our God has deemed abominations. If they do not they will become irrelevant and will no longer be considered churches seeking God’s will. What is your lifestyle and would our God approve of it? Is it carnal or seeking God’s will? Are you seeking God’s purpose for your life or are your seeking worldly pleasure and self-gratification? Do not come to the end of your life regretting what your life has become or the choices you made. Doing right today will ensure that the tomorrows take care of themselves. That includes making right choices in our churches. Whether you believe it or not, there is no other name under heaven, but the name of a Jewish Rabbi, Jesus, whereby we will spend eternity with our creator. Those who believe otherwise, whether Methodists, Baptists, Mormons, Catholics, Jews, Hindus, Islamists or whatever, will not come to the peace our father offers unless we come to him through Christ. Our God is a just God and although he is a loving God, he will one day judge all of mankind. Churches that fail to deal with all sin compromise their relationship with God. They will be held accountable at that judgment.)

POLITICO ILLINOIS
— State Rep. Chris Miller is continuing to promote the false claim that former President Donald Trump won the 2020 presidential election. “Make no mistake, Donald J. Trump was overwhelmingly elected in this last election cycle,” Miller said at a political event to promote state Sen. Darren Bailey’s bid for governor. The Effingham Daily News first reported Miller’s comments. A spokesman for the Illinois GOP declined to comment but reiterated, “we recognize that Joe Biden won in November 2020.” And House Minority Leader Jim Durkin texted, simply, “Trump lost.” Get used to the mixed messages as the Illinois GOP tries to unite a party still divided over basic facts nine months after the election.- Shia Kapos

What percent of Democrats have criminal records? From what I see, it must be way more than one in three. At least it used to be that you could not get a federal job if you had a criminal record. My not having a criminal record helped me get federal jobs. GAO hired me in 1980 because it could not find a qualified Democrat, minority, female, younger person, or veteran who would take the job. IRS hired me in 1971 because it could not find a qualified Democrat, minority, female, or veteran who would take the job. The Post Office hired me in 1966 because it could not find a qualified Democrat, minority, female, or veteran who would take the job.)

— Should Employees Be Viewed As A ‘Family’ Or ‘Sports Team’ By Business Leaders? – Cybele Negris (DIERSEN: I should write a book about leaders of the Illinois Republican Party, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Milton Township Republican Organization since 2000 a) who glorify and praise those who are blindly loyal to them personally and b) who purge those who are not blindly loyal to them personally. I have never been blindly loyal to anyone in government or politics and I never will be. I would focus on those leaders who have taken the most severe adverse actions against me.)

— This Is What You Need to Know About Age Discrimination in the Workplace. Even in a tight labor market, older workers face continued age discrimination – Morris Panner (DIERSEN: All my critics/opponents promote age discrimination. I should write a book about them. Better yet, I should sue them. I would focus on those who have lots of religious, government, political, and/or financial clout in Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois. They focus on getting rid older people who are Trump supporters, conservative, patriotic, Republican, American, White, male, non-veteran, heterosexual, married, non-poor, gun owners, Christian, Protestant, Italian American, German American, and/or those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time.)
