CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— Rauner reveals who paid for airplane on his statewide tour – Rick Pearson  (DIERSEN: One could argue that my GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails are in-kind contributions to those who read them.  Annual GOPUSA ILLINOIS email subscriptions are worth at least $1,000.)
http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/politics/ct-bruce-rauner-plane-expense-0501-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: It shows an in-kind contribution from Donald Wilson, CEO of DRW Trading Group, providing the governor’s campaign with the “use of private jet” valued at $14,882. Wilson has contributed to Mayor Rahm Emanuel’s fund and paid for a mayoral trip to Washington, D.C., on a regulatory matter. Rauner traditionally attends events by car after having grounded the state’s air fleet early in his first term. The campaign disclosure report also showed the Illinois Republican Party providing $51,400 worth of polling services. In early April, the Chicago Tribune noted that a pollster with ties to a firm that Rauner previously has used was making automated calls asking voters about the governor, two potential Democratic challengers and President Donald Trump.)

I should write a book about those who demonize, denigrate, and condemn a) public servants and b) retired public servants.  Many millions have not and will not seek a job with the federal government a) because the pay and benefits are terrible, b) because the advancement opportunities are terrible, c) because they lack required education, work experience, professional certifications, and/or professional licenses, d) because they cannot pass an employment examination, e) because they cannot pass a background investigation, f) because they cannot pass a physical examination, g) because they cannot take the demonization, denigration, and condemnation that comes with being a federal employee or federal retiree, and/or h) because they are Republican, White, male, older, and/or non-veteran and they know that the federal government discriminates against the aforesaid.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: The race for Illinois governor in 2018 includes at least three millionaires, but Daniel Biss isn’t one of them. Biss, a state senator from Evanston who is running for the Democratic nomination, and his wife, Karen, had an adjusted gross income of $32,568 in 2016. It’s about half what he reported in earlier years, the result of lawmakers’ pay being withheld by the Illinois comptroller until a court intervened. Biss recently released five years of returns while pushing a measure requiring presidential candidates to release five years of income tax returns to get on the ballot in Illinois. It passed the Senate 32-19 vote and is headed to the House. Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner has released his tax returns every year, and other Democratic primary bidders — J.B. Pritzker of Chicago, Chris Kennedy of Kenilworth, and Chicago Alderman Ameya Pawar all say they’re planning to release their returns, too.)

— Racism Claims a Cover for Fox News Purge? – Cliff Kincaid  (DIERSEN: In 2002, I led a group that succeeded in forcing Comcast to start carrying Fox News Channel in Wheaton and in other western suburbs. To this day, those in Wheaton, in Glen Ellyn, in Milton Township, in DuPage County, and in Illinois who hate Fox News Channel have done everything that they can to destroy me.)
http://www.gopusa.com/?p=23722
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Sexual harassment and now racial discrimination complaints are providing the excuses James Murdoch may need to purge the conservative news personalities who have made the Fox News Channel a success. James Murdoch is the liberal son of Fox News parent company owner Rupert Murdoch and one of the heirs to his father’s media empire. His wife was a major figure in the Clinton Climate Initiative project who despises conservatives and President Donald Trump personally. A close reading of the legal complaint joined by black Fox News anchor Kelly Wright against the network leads one to conclude that the purpose is to enable the owners of the parent company (the Murdochs) to purge the conservatives by accusing them of racism, and then turn the channel into another left-wing propaganda organ in the name of “diversity and inclusion.” The suit notes that “public pressure” and not a legal finding of fact forced Bill O’Reilly out of his anchor chair at Fox. Hence, why not use the same tactics to get rid of other Fox News managers, editors, anchors or personalities? It worked once. It could work again. In one of these feeding frenzies, the facts get lost. What matters are the charges, not whether they are true or not. Despite the attempt to portray him as a victim of racism, Wright’s bio at Fox News says he currently serves as co-anchor on America’s News Headquarters on Saturdays from 4-5 p.m. ET, as well as an overnight breaking news anchor based in New York. His impressive bio lists many stories he has covered at home and abroad. Page 18 of the complaint says, “Throughout his employment with Fox, Mr. Wright has covered many of the biggest news stories to break over the past 14 years, often breaking the stories himself.” This is hardly the record of an employee being marginalized because of his skin color. The complaint insists that “The discriminatory conduct committed against Mr. Wright has resulted in stunted career growth and advancement despite his remarkable success.” He has had “remarkable” success in a “stunted” career?Despite this doubletalk, his lawyers at Wigdor LLP held a dramatic news conference with Wright to announce the charges, which were immediately picked up by the channel’s competitors. It is all about “public pressure” on the Murdochs and the fundamental transformation of Fox News. The complaint says that Wright has been, and continues to be, “the victim of pervasive race discrimination at Fox,” because he did not get this or that position. It says he does not have his own show on the channel, as if he is entitled to one. Wright is a Fox News anchor, one of three black anchors overall, but “his anchor position is one of far lower visibility than those held by his White colleagues,” the complaint states. But it may well be that he doesn’t have the on-camera presence and talent to attract an audience. The legal complaint asserts the existence of a pervasive culture of “institutional racism” at Fox News. For example, the recently ousted Bill O’Reilly is quoted as saying that some black neighborhoods have deteriorated into “free-fire zones.” For having an opinion on black crime and other remarks, O’Reilly is branded a racist.)

— Defamation, Libel, and Slander: Key Elements of a Claim  Learn what a plaintiff needs to prove in order to hold someone liable for defamation.  (DIERSEN: Are you a “public figure?”  What do you say to my critics, their operatives, and their dupes who paint me as being a “public figure” so that they have more freedom to defame me, to libel me, and slander me?)
http://www.nolo.com/legal-encyclopedia/defamation-libel-slander-key-elements-claim.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Defamation, libel, and slander: we have all heard of these legal terms, but what do they actually mean?  In general, a defamatory statement is a false statement of fact that is negligently or intentionally communicated or published to a third party, and that causes injury or damage to the subject of the statement. Libel and slander are different types of defamation. Libel is a written defamatory statement, and slander is an oral defamatory statement. Read on to learn more about the key elements of a defamation claim. (More: Get the  Basics on Defamation Law.)  What is a Defamatory Statement? A statement is defamatory if it tends to hold the plaintiff (the subject of the statement, who is bringing the lawsuit) up to scorn, hatred, ridicule, disgrace, or contempt, in the mind of any considerable and respectable segment of the community. There are certain types of statements that are automatically considered defamatory in some states. These types of statements are often called defamatory “per se” Statements that are defamatory “per se” include statements that claim that the plaintiff: has committed a serious, notorious, or immoral crime, has an infectious or terrible disease, or is incompetent in his job, trade, or profession. Defamation is a False Statement of Fact, Not Opinion The most important aspect of a potentially defamatory statement is that it purports to be a statement of fact. Opinions are not defamatory. People have an absolute right to express whatever opinions they like about other people. Let’s look at some examples of facts versus opinions. . .The Statement Must Have Been Made to a Third Party. . .Private Figures vs. Public Figures – Negligence vs. Intent. . .Damages for Defamatory Statements)

— Defamation Law Made Simple  Learn the basics of slander and libel — the rules about who can say what without getting into legal hot water. – Emily Doskow, Attorney  (DIERSEN: Are you a “public figure?”  What do you say to my critics, their operatives, and their dupes who paint me as being a “public figure” so that they have more freedom to defame me, to libel me, and slander me?)
http://www.nolo.com/legal-encyclopedia/defamation-law-made-simple-29718.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: “Defamation” is a catch-all term for any statement that hurts someone’s reputation. Written defamation is called “libel,” and spoken defamation is called “slander.” Defamation is not a crime, but it is a “tort” (a civil wrong, rather than a criminal wrong). A person who has been defamed can sue the person who did the defaming.  (For in-depth information on defamation claims, check out Nolo’s  Defamation, Libel & Slander  section.)  Defamation law tries to balance competing interests: On the one hand, people should not ruin others’ lives by telling lies about them; but on the other hand, people should be able to speak freely without fear of litigation over every insult, disagreement, or mistake. Political and social disagreement is important in a free society, and we obviously don’t all share the same opinions or beliefs. For instance, political opponents often reach opposite conclusions from the same facts, and editorial cartoonists often exaggerate facts to make their point. What the victim must prove to establish that defamation occurred  The law of defamation varies from state to state, but there are some generally accepted rules. If you believe you are have been “defamed,” to prove it you usually have to show there’s been a statement that is all of the following: published, false, injurious, unprivileged . . . Public officials and figures have a harder time proving defamation.)

WIKIPEDIA
— Public figure (DIERSEN: Are you a “public figure?”  What do you say to my critics, their operatives, and their dupes who paint me as being a “public figure” so that they have more freedom to defame me, to libel me, and slander me?  If I sued them, would they argue that I am a “public figure” or just a “limited purpose public figure?” Would they stress that I have been the unpaid GOPUSA Illinois Editor since 2000?  Would they stress that I have been an unpaid Republican Precinct Committeeman since 1999?  Would they stress that I was the TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois chairman 2005-2012, that I was a Wheaton Chamber of Commerce Government Affairs Committee member 2003-2011, that I was the Milton Township Republican Central Committee webmaster 2008-2010 and 2000-2004, that I was an Illinois Center Right Coalition Steering Committee member 2003-2007, that I was an American Association of Political Consultants Midwest Chapter board member 2001-2004, that I was a GAO employee 1980-1997, that I was an IRS employee 1971-1980, that I was the subject of a 4-page article in the February 1978 issue of Money Magazine, etc.?)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_figure
(FROIM THE POSTING: A fairly high threshold of public activity is necessary to elevate people to public figure status. Typically, they must either be: a public figure, either a public official or any other person pervasively involved in public affairs, or a limited purpose public figure, meaning those who have “thrust themselves to the forefront of particular public controversies in order to influence the resolution of the issues involved.” A “particularized determination” is required to decide whether a person is a limited purpose public figure, which can be variously interpreted: A person can become an “involuntary public figure” as the result of publicity, even though that person did not want or invite the public attention. For example, people accused of high profile crimes may be unable to pursue actions for defamation even after their innocence is established…A person can also become a “limited public figure” by engaging in actions which generate publicity within a narrow area of interest.)
