ROBERT FEDER
— Reboot Illinois moving behind paywall  (DIERSEN: Rest assured that a) GOPUSA ILLINOIS will never move www.gopillinois.com behind a paywall, b) GOPUSA ILLINOIS will never charge for its emails, c) GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails will never include advertising, d) GOPUSA ILLINOIS will continue sending out an email each and every morning as it has done since 2004, and e) GOPUSA ILLINOIS will continue sending out an email each and every evening as it has done since 2015.  Since 2004, GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails have included links to almost 253,500 articles and information on many upcoming events. All the time and money necessary to send out GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails comes from me.  He who pays the piper calls the tunes.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: If you want to read Reboot Illinois, the political journalism website and daily newsletter, now it’s going to cost you. After four years of free access to its readers, the digital source for news, commentary and analysis about state and local government will be shifting next week to a paid subscription model. “We’re moving from a public affairs journalism organization primarily supported by seed investments and advertising to one supported mainly by your subscriptions,” publisher Madeleine Doubek emailed readers Thursday. “We started Reboot Illinois four years ago with the help of some seed funding from prominent Chicagoans who were concerned, like we were, that citizens were not getting reliable and fair reporting, in-depth analysis, or a wide range of commentary and infographics about our local and state governments in Illinois,” she wrote. “Our mission has been and remains to inform, engage and activate Illinoisans about the governments we all own.” Reboot Illinois was bankrolled in 2012 by hedge fund manager Anne Dias, founder of Aragon Global Management (and ex-wife of billionaire Ken Griffin), who hired the editorial and technology teams, and oversaw the platform’s initial digital and marketing efforts. Earlier this year Dias sold her ownership interest to AFK Media Group, a Chicago-based investor group headed by entrepreneur Anthony Knierim. Doubek said Thursday that AFK Media remains “fully behind” the mission. “From the start, Reboot Illinois was always envisioned as a self-supporting, profitable media firm and this is another step to get us closer to that goal,” she told me. (In her email to readers, Doubek noted: “In the past decade, the rates advertisers pay throughout digital media have been dropping fast. Advertising simply isn’t enough to support our work any longer.”) At the outset, subscribers will be charged $12 per month or a discounted rate of $120 a year. Current readers will be offered a 50 percent discount for the first four months, or an annual rate of $100 if they sign up before year end. In July Reboot Illinois partnered with PolitiFact, the Pulitzer Prize-winning fact-checking initiative launched by Poynter Institute’s Tampa Bay Times.)

The township board will appoint a replacement to finish her term, which ends May 2017. The replacement needs to be a legal voter, a resident of Naperville Township for at least one year and a member of the Republican party. – Michelle Mullins

http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/chicagoinc/ct-jesse-jackson-jr-pardon-request-1202-chicago-inc-20161201-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Jesse Jackson Jr. is calling on President Barack Obama to issue a mass pardon of former prison inmates who have completed their sentences — a group that would include both Jackson and his wife, former Ald. Sandi Jackson. In an emotional and rambling Facebook post he made at 4 a.m. Thursday, Jackson wrote that “the great 2016 pardoning of the masses will create a resounding echo in history and will mark you as the greatest Christian president ever to serve.” He added, “Mr. President, for those Americans who have traipsed through the criminal justice system and transcended transgression by duly serving time, the outcome should be clear. An official declaration of TIME SERVED, for each and every eligible member of the American family, from the highest office of the land is the only response congruent with the redemption story of Christ. “Truly, Mr. President, with a presidential pardon equally monumental to, and greater in scope than, the Emancipation Proclamation the legacy of Barack Hussein Obama II will be one of faith, hope and love.”)

DAILY CALLER
— OSU Terrorist Was Enrolled In Class On Diversity, Microaggressions – Blake Neff  (DIERSEN: What would Abdul Artan think of you?  Based on his demographics, his education, and his actions, Artan would certainly want to kill me.)
http://dailycaller.com/2016/12/01/osu-terrorist-was-enrolled-in-class-on-diversity-microaggressions/
(FROM THE ACTICLE: Ohio State University (OSU) attacker Abdul Artan was enrolled in a class focused on diversity and microaggressions, and was taught that Muslims were an oppressed minority just two weeks before his car-and-knife assault on his fellow students. For the fall term at OSU, Artan was taking a class titled “Crossing Identity Boundaries,” offered by OSU’s Higher Education and Student Affairs program in the education department. The class in question is dedicated to “exploring issues of diversity and inequality as well as their personal and social responsibility for building a more just university and society.” A look at the class’s syllabus reveals that much of it is simply a catalog of alleged oppression in American society. Different class days focused on topics like white privilege and racism, and the syllabus is replete with reading assignments like “Dragon ladies, snow queens, and Asian-American dykes: Reflections on race and sexuality.” In fact, just two weeks before Artan’s rampage, the class focused on the topic of religious oppression, with a particular focus on the alleged oppression of Muslims. Readings for the November 16 class included “Creating identity-safe spaces on college campuses for Muslim students,” while the Nov. 17 discussion on “Unpacking Religious Oppression” included the reading “Christian privilege: Breaking a sacred taboo.”)

 

FOX NEWS OPINION
— Liberals get hysterical over the ‘alt-right’ but we are living in their ‘alt-left’ world – Dan Gainor (DIERSEN: Ever-increasing, the “traditional media” acts as an arm of the Democrat Party.”)
http://www.foxnews.com/opinion/2016/12/02/liberals-get-hysterical-over-alt-right-but-are-living-in-their-alt-left-world.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The traditional media are obsessed with tying conservatives to the “alt-right.” There have been more than 50 major news network mentions this year alone as journalists try to do what they always do — paint conservatives as racist, sexist, and a few other words that end in ist. All in the name of “tolerance.”  But when it comes to the left, then they abandon that strategy. There is no alt-left. They are not alternative. Their mainstream is radical and out of the American mainstream on almost everything. This was quite obvious as liberals bemoaned the death of Fidel Castro, a man his own daughter called “a tyrant.” The Rev. Jesse Jackson, Sr. summed up years of devotion, recalling how, “the oppressed the world over joined Castro’s cause of fighting for freedom & liberation.” Some liberals distanced themselves from that love affair, though many have embraced left-wing dictators from Stalin to Chavez. But, the left is even worse when it comes to policy, where it shows its true colors (red). On every major issue of the day, the left is unified. Taxes. Climate. So-called “free” college. Citizens United. Transgender bathroom/locker rooms/showers. ObamaCare. In each case and thousands more, the left wants more, bigger, better-funded government. Liberals want higher taxes because they know how to spend your money better than you do — on what they want. They have turned climate science into a religion where disbelief is to be persecuted or even prosecuted.)

— Are you ready to serve? The Trump Administration is looking for you – Morton C. Blackwell  (DIERSEN: Yes, but virtually all federal employees are Democrats, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation are rampant in the federal government, and 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 its employees who are Republican, White, male, older, and/or non-veteran. Further, non-veteran White males who are seeking a job with the federal government should be advised that with only rare exceptions, a) the longer that you are a federal employee, the less likely that private sector employers will hire you, b) your career will be wasted and you will be gotten rid of if you do not make GS-13 ($92,632) by age 25, GS-14 ($109,463) by age 30, GS-15 ($128,759) by age 35, and Senior Executive Service ($160,300) by age 40, c) you will be expected to help your superiors and supervisors get rid of their employees who are Republican, White, male, older, and/or non-veteran, and d) virtually everyone despises if not hates federal employees, former federal employees, and federal retirees.)
http://www.leadershipinstitute.org/

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Now is the time for patriotic Americans to come to the aid of their country.  Will you be one of them? On November 8th Americans voted and then held their breath.  Nothing less than the continuation of the United States as a constitutional republic hung in the balance.  After the polls closed, there emerged a result that would confound the ideologues and reassure nervous patriotic Americans:  Donald Trump was elected President of the United States. Overcoming the obstacles left by decades of disinformation from the dominant leftist news media, false indoctrination in our schools and colleges, corrosive popular entertainment, and the hidden but almost certainly widespread election fraud perpetrated by the radical left, Americans voted decisively to stop the deconstruction of the Constitution and the rule of law. But this will be a fleeting victory if qualified conservatives fail to step up and seek appointments in the Trump Administration.  Donald Trump now needs the help of conservative Americans like you.  President-elect Trump needs reinforcements from capable, principled, courageous conservatives to help him make America great again. Service in the Executive Branch of the United States Government is an honorable undertaking.  Now it is especially heroic for a principled conservative.  And the salary and benefits are substantial. More than 2 million civilians work for the Executive Branch of the United States (not including employees of the U.S. Postal Service).  This is a permanent workforce, insulated by the civil service law from the ordinary forms of discipline and accountability that promote productive achievements in the private sector. To help him manage this massive Executive Branch workforce (they are supposed to help him “take care that the laws be faithfully executed”) President-elect Trump will appoint about 4,000 civil officers and lower officials who will serve at his pleasure.  You can see that the conservative principles of leadership, competence, courage, and initiative of these 4,000 appointees will be crucial to the rehabilitation of the rule of law in the United States Government. Will you answer the call of duty and apply to serve in the Trump Administration?  Will you encourage other capable, brave, conservative Americans to seek to serve in the Trump Administration? In late 1980 and early 1981, I worked full-time in the Presidential Personnel Office of President-elect Ronald Reagan.  Then I worked for three years on President Reagan’s White House Staff. Those of us in the Reagan White House saw that where the right people are given responsibility, good things tend to happen.  A principled appointee will look for ways to implement his principles.  Those without principles will tend to do nothing unless they are told to do it.  A too centralized organization cannot achieve as much as an intelligently de-centralized one. Personnel is policy. Every Presidential political appointee has some power to make things happen.  Will you be one of them? President-elect Trump will successfully restore constitutional government if conservatives with competence, experience, and courage step up and seek appointments in the Trump Administration.  Do you have what it takes to serve the President-elect and your country well?  Will you seek an appointment? The stakes are high; if we are to keep our republic, now is the time to demonstrate the full power of conservative principles.  Are you ready for the challenge? What should you do now? Review the compilation in the Plum Book of the approximately 4,000 political positions that will be filled in the Trump Administration:  https://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/GPO-PLUMBOOK-2012/pdf/GPO-PLUMBOOK-2012.pdf  After you have a good idea of the departments and job positions that fit your experience and qualifications, submit an online application through the official Presidential Transition portal at https://www.greatagain.gov/serve-america.html.  Record any reference number that the system assigns to you. Then fill out the Leadership Institute Presidential Personnel Referral Form – recommend yourself and other good conservatives who should step forward to help the President-elect succeed in restoring America to her founding principles.  This is the starting point for LI to guide you through the appointment process.  Find the form here:  https://www.conservativejobs.com/PresidentialReferral/index.cfm  My staff can provide advice on your resume, cover letter, and the Executive Branch positions that your experience is best suited for.  Email resumes@LeadershipInstitute.org to schedule a resume consultation (these can be by phone). You should also visit the portal set up by our friends at the Heritage Foundation so they can help you too:  https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSc52DDZ5hEd7SmQMOInYXAxtqu8NKKbAMye16P6T04I-uDY-w/viewform. Now is the time for all good conservatives to come to the aid of their country.)

— Homeowners Hit the Jackpot  Homeowners who stay put—living in the same home for 15, 20, 30 years—can pocket millions of dollars when they finally make a move. – STEFANOS CHEN (DIERSEN: My grandfather on my father’s side had 1286 Wood Street built in Crete in 1926 on land that his grandfather bought in 1864. My brother continues to live there. Zillow estimates it to be worth $122,268.)
http://www.wsj.com/articles/homeowners-hit-the-jackpot-1480605189
(FROM THE THE ARTICLE: Wait long enough, though, and the peaks and valleys seem less important. In San Francisco, Ed McGuirk, 65, and his family are selling an eight-bedroom Victorian home for $6.95 million; his grandfather bought it for $30,000 in 1926. “That was a ton of money back then,” said Mr. McGuirk, a retired schoolteacher. “But now it’s skyrocketed in price.” He, along with his siblings and a cousin, are selling the roughly 5,100-square-foot home because they all live elsewhere; his aunt, the last owner, died in 2015. Unlike most homes in the area, the Queen Anne-style home still has most of its original layout, with 12-foot ceilings and grand parlors. In the basement, his grandfather’s Prohibition-era bar is still intact. Behind a mirror is a passageway that led into the front yard—presumably to make a quick escape from police, he said. He used to play in the tunnel as a child. (It has since been sealed to elude more likely raiders—neighborhood raccoons. The home was listed in September for just under $7.5 million and reduced to $6.95 million in October.)

http://www.newsweek.com/glaad-launches-trump-accountability-project-527340
(FROM THE ARTICLE: GLAAD has launched a new “Trump Accountability Project,” the nonprofit announced on Thursday. An ongoing effort, it will track the discriminatory and hateful statements and stances of President-elect Donald Trump and others selected, or being considered for, roles in his administration. Though GLAAD is an LGBTQ media advocacy organization, it will catalog not only anti-LGBTQ remarks, but also comments targeting women, immigrants, Muslims and other communities and ideas. “I think we’re in a different place. We have an LGBTQ community, among other communities, that feel that we are living in a new America,” Sarah Kate Ellis, the president and CEO of GLAAD, tells Newsweek. “We have had quite a bit of progress over the past years, and there are concerns that some of the progress is going to be rolled back.” The project is “an opportunity to shine a light on what is being said and how it could affect the progress that we’ve made.”)
