GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— Past and present candidates and elected officials who spoke at Milton Township Republican Central Committee’s (MTRCC) outstanding meeting Wednesday evening, May 8, 2019, at the Wheaton Bowl Banquet Hall included Bucholz, Ives, Jorgensen, Kachiroubas, Keller, Larsen, LeVan, Molitor, Monino, Sanguinetti, and Whelan. DuPage County Recorder Fred Bucholz announced that he was not running again and endorsed Babette Holder for the position. Meeting attendees included Almiron, Bohn, Carlson, Caruso, Cooper, Crane, Dangelo, Elliott, Falbo, Fitzpatrick, Galvin, Holder, Jensen, Kinzler, Krzyzewski, Lofgren, Lollino, McGowen, Muehlfelt, Nathwani, Rash, Ryan, Shaw, Slinger, Smith, and Tatro. How fast and how far have the organizations that you are a member of moved to the left? I should write a book about how fast and how far the Illinois Republican Party, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and the MTRCC have moved to the left. 10 years ago, I easily got the MTRCC to pass a resolution against video gambling. Today, I doubt that I could get the MTRCC to pass a resolution against recreational pot. – Dave Diersen

GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— Too many articles? My critics/opponents say that GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails contain links to too many articles. The articles that they want me to cut are those which a) promote Trump, b) promote the traditional family, right to life, immigration, Second Amendment, illegal drugs, and equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) planks in the Illinois Republican Party (IRP) platform and the Republican Party platform, and/or c) promote the Milton Township Republican Central Committee (MTRCC) resolution against video gambling. The only articles that they want you to see are those that the IRP, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and MTRCC officers approve of. They want you to a) spend all your time on their websites and Facebook and b) spend none of your time reading GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails. They demonize, denigrate, and condemn the format that I use for GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails. – Dave Diersen

— City Council Discusses Recreational Marijuana (DIERSEN: Needless-to-say, each and every mayor and each and every city council member in Illinois and each and every candidate for the aforesaid positions should state on the record that they will vote to pass ordinances a) to “opt out” of the retail sale of pot and b) to impose zoning restrictions on the commercial growing of pot. The Wheaton City Council is seeking applicants for city’s vacant North District City Council position. Applicants are asked to submit a statement identifying the three most important issues that they believe the city needs to address in the next two years as well as their opinion on how those issues could be addressed. Needless-to-say, applicants should state that discouraging pot usage is one of Wheaton’s most important issues. According to Capitol Fax’s Rich Miller, “Dude, I got news for you: Cannabis is already in your neighborhood. Your neighbors are consuming it, perhaps even right this moment. And most of your neighbors want it legalized.” SEE: https://capitolfax.com/2019/05/07/moylan-apparently-doesnt-realize-that-people-use-cannabis-now/)
https://www.nctv17.com/news/council-discusses-recreational-marijuana/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Governor J.B. Pritzker recently introduced a bill that would legalize the sale and possession of recreational marijuana statewide. And with the Democratic Party in control of the Illinois House and Senate, Illinois becoming the 11th state to legalize cannabis is likely. City council discussed what that means for Naperville at its most recent meeting. “Will we see an increase in crime? Will we see a decrease in medical calls? What have other similar communities like ours seen after legalization that we should consider?” asked Councilwoman Patty Gustin.)

https://www.wglt.org/post/mclean-county-libertarians-host-illinois-separation-founder-0#stream/0
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The party’s McLean County chairman Steve Suess acknowledged any effort to create a 51st state has little chance of going anywhere, but he said he wants to start a philosophical debate, something he said the party has succeeded in doing in the past. “The Libertarian Party has supported cannabis legalization since 1971 when it was formed, and look at where we are now,” Suess said. “The Libertarian party has supported gender and sexual minority rights since it was founded. It’s first presidential candidate was openly gay.” Suess said the county’s libertarians haven’t taken a formal stance on separation, but he endorses it. He said Illinois’ regional differences are too great to be governed by the same state legislative body.)

CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— DECEMBER 24, 2003 FLASHBACK: Church arsonist receives 39 years – Ted Gregory (DIERSEN: Palinski was a registered Republican voter in my precinct. According to this article, Palinski’s “life started unraveling when he began using marijuana, cocaine, heroin and other drugs as a teenager.” I should try to arrange for Palinski to speak at public hearings in Wheaton about the evils of pot.)
https://www.chicagotribune.com/news/ct-xpm-2003-12-24-0312240124-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A Wheaton man who was admonished by a judge as a “selfish heartbreaker” received 39 years in prison Tuesday for setting fires that destroyed a Catholic church and damaged his next-door neighbor’s home, and for trying to arrange the murder of a prosecution witness in those cases. Adam Palinski, 22, a college student with a history of emotional instability, was sentenced by DuPage County Judge Perry Thompson. Palinski broke the hearts of parishioners at Wheaton’s St. Michael Catholic Church, which Palinski and his family attended, as well as the hearts of his neighbors and relatives, Thompson said. Thompson noted at Tuesday’s sentencing that family members testified Palinski is loving, courteous and religious. “Had any of those good qualities been present on the days in question, we would not be here today,” Thompson said. “Your dreams are going to be deferred for a long time.” In November, juries found Palinski guilty of arson, aggravated arson and solicitation of murder for hire. Aided by a videotaped confession and audio tapes of wiretapped conversations, prosecutors said Palinski set fire to the inside of the church about 2 a.m. March 18, 2002, after a night of drinking. The church, which was destroyed, is offering masses for the estimated 2,700 families in its school gymnasium. St. Michael’s leaders estimate the cost of rebuilding to be $9.75 million. About $4.5 million has been raised. After setting the church ablaze, Palinski splashed gasoline on his neighbor’s home and ignited it, prosecutors said. It went out before the residents awoke that morning. No one was injured. On one of the tapes, when investigators asked why Palinski set the fires, he replied: “No particular reason. I was bored.” Five months after his arrest, Palinski was charged with trying to find a hit man to kill a friend who obtained informal admissions of guilt from Palinski by wearing a court-approved listening device. At Tuesday’s sentencing, DuPage County Assistant State’s Atty. Joseph Ruggiero, who prosecuted the case with Steven Knight, said Palinski was a liar whose life started unraveling when he began using marijuana, cocaine, heroin and other drugs as a teenager.)

Williams (DIERSEN: According to my critics/opponents, their operatives, and the dupes, I was able to do the following solely because I benefitted tremendously from past and present discrimination against minorities, against women, and against veterans: I earned a) a job-related bachelor’s degree when I was 21 in 1970 and job-related master’s degrees when I was 27, 31, and 48, b) job-related professional certifications when I was 30, 32, 41, 45, 47, and 48, and c) a job-related professional license when I was 32. The Post Office hired me in 1966 and let me work there for almost 3 years. IRS hired me in 1971 or let me work there for almost 9 years. IRS promoted me in 1972, 1973, and 1974. GAO hired me in 1980 and let me work there for almost 18 years. GAO promoted me in 1986. I bought new cars in 1966, 1967, 1968, 1971, etc. I bought real estate in 1972, 1974, and 1976.

My Civil Service Retirement System pension is $53,316/year, my Social Security is $2,118/year, and my RMD is about $10,000/year.) 
https://capitalresearch.org/article/dont-trust-the-messenger-part-4/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Conservatives and right-leaning moderates know that in order to get the “full story” they should read not only the Wall Street Journal and National Review, but also the Washington Post and The Atlantic. After all, it’s important to know how the other half of America thinks and feels about the news of the day. However, the media landscape isn’t what it used to be—where once there were nominally nonpartisan broadcast and print media, new nonprofit newsrooms backed by big liberal foundation resources have risen, even as conservative platforms have folded. But that doesn’t mean conservative readers and writers should resign themselves to obsolescence: a combination of foundation giving and visionary leadership could breathe new life into conservative and even less-partisan journalism, while providing the stability and flexibility necessary for new outlets to thrive.)

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.)

Himself, mostly – Neil Steinberg (DIERSEN: According to Wikipedia, Steinberg “began his journalism career in Chicago’s suburbs, working for the Barrington Courier-Review. He later wrote for the now-defunct Wheaton Daily Journal newspaper, but was fired after writing a column that made fun of the paper’s publisher.”)
https://chicago.suntimes.com/news/steinberg-facebook-farrakhan-bigotry-nation-islam/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: When I worked at the Wheaton Daily Journal, a third of a century ago, conservative Christians in that town engaged in a strategy I called “wallpapering the world.” They would seek out what they objected to and try to cover it up so they didn’t have to look at it, whether Playboys tucked behind the counter at the local 7-Eleven or the College of DuPage performing “Sister Mary Ignatius Explains it All for You.” That didn’t work because it never works. We are each in charge of our lives, and must embrace or reject what we ourselves feel must be embraced or rejected. The problem isn’t that Farrakhan believes hateful delusions; the problem is that other people seek them out. Blocking Farrakhan won’t solve that; they’ll just find their fix somewhere else.)

— About-face in Dracut Memorial Day parade – Amaris Castillo and Jon Winkler (DIERSEN: Information on Wheaton’s 2019 Memorial Day parade is at https://www.wheaton.il.us/calendar.aspx?PREVIEW=YES&EID=934and http://www.americanlegionpost76.org/events/parades. Please consider a) watching the parade in my precinct south of Roosevelt Road and b) attending the ceremony after the parade in my precinct. Of course, anti-Republicans want to ban Republicans from watching parades, from promoting parades, from sponsoring parades, and from marching in parades.) 
http://www.lowellsun.com/news/ci_32613070/about-face-dracut-parade
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The Dracut Republican Town Committee will be marching in the town’s Memorial Day Parade on May 27 after all, ending a rollercoaster that spanned two weeks. Selectmen Chair Jesse Forcier on Friday confirmed that the decision came after a discussion with town administration and representation from the American Legion Post 315. Forcier added that this opens up parade participation to other political groups as well. “The Republican Town Committee’s application will be processed and they will be extended every courtesy and allowed to march,” Forcier said when reached by phone. This latest twist comes after flip-flops that captivated the attention of many in town and angered Brian Genest, chairman of the Dracut Republican Town Committee. Two weeks ago, the committee was informed that Town Manager Jim Duggan was not allowing them to participate. Members of the Board of Selectmen last Tuesday strongly disagreed with Duggan’s decision at a meeting. Forcier during that meeting’s recess told a Sun reporter that the directive for Duggan was to allow the committee to march. The committee was barred once again the following day — this time by the American Legion Post 315. Richard Ducharme, commander of the Legion, said at the time that the organization puts on the event, while the town helps organize the order of bands and participants.)

LOS ANGELES TIMES
— Riot Games workers walk out to protest forced arbitration of sex discrimination suits – SAM DEAN (DIERSEN: While I worked for GAO in its Chicago office 1980-1997, the closest thing that I saw to a walk out was in 1989 when the office’s GS-14 employees who were Republican, White, male, over 35 years old, and/or non-veteran wore black arm bands in the office to protest GAO’s merging its GS-13 and GS-14 together into a “Band II.” They correctly concluded that GAO had done that to help GAO get rid of its employees who were Republican, White, male, and/or non-veteran who had not made GS-15 (currently $136,495) by age 35 and Senior Executive Service (currently $165,500) by age 40.)

LaReau (DIERSEN: The Democrats who ran GAO during the 1980s and 1990s used Affirmative Action, Diversity, Inclusion, up-or-out, and budget cuts to get rid of virtually all of the agency’s employees who were Republican, White, male, and/or non-veteran who they had not promoted to GS-13 (currently $98,198) by age 25, GS-14 (currently $116,040) by age 30, GS-15 (currently $136,495) by age 35, and Senior Executive Service (currently $165,500) by age 40.

https://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/breaking/ct-met-illinois-recreational-marijuana-protest-20190506-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Opponents of legalizing recreational marijuana in Illinois on Monday rejected Gov. J.B. Pritzker’s argument that his proposal would promote social equity by providing potential benefits to communities that have been disproportionately affected by enforcement of lower-level drug crimes. “Minorities have said to me we don’t want this stuff in our neighborhood,” state Rep. Marty Moylan, D-Des Plaines, said at a news conference outside the Thompson Center in the Loop. “There’s other ways to generate revenue, not on the backs of our children and young adults.”)

https://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/politics/ct-met-cheri-bustos-democrat-incumbents-lipinski-newman-20190506-story.html
— FROM THE ARTICLE: Bustos has faced criticism from more progressive elements of the party for opposition to primary challenges and for a DCCC policy that also prohibits political advisers, consultants or vendors from doing work with the organization if they work against incumbents. “I don’t want to spend one ounce of any resource on keeping Democrats in the seats that they already have. I want to make sure that we have resources to pick up seats,” said Bustos, who called the DCCC “an incumbent-friendly organization.”)

HARVARD BUSINESS REVIEW
— No Partner, No Kids, No Problem (DIERSEN: Government is nasty. Politics is nasty. Democrats, Libertarians, Greens, and RINOs are nasty.

https://hbr.org/podcast/2019/05/no-partner-no-kids-no-problem
(FROM THE ARTICLE: If you aren’t married and don’t have kids, people at work might assume a lot of things: that you can stay late at the office, that you can’t possibly understand their stories about parenthood, that you just haven’t found the right partner (ugh). But those assumptions are often false. Single childless women have busy lives, close relationships with children like nieces or nephews — and many don’t want coupledom or motherhood. We talk to two women who’ve been researching and writing about being a single childless professional. The writer Shani Silver shares her experience with the career pros and cons, and then Tracy Dumas, a professor at Ohio State University, gives research-backed advice for responding to bias and unrealistic expectations.)

— How diverse are Chicago’s corporate boards? It’s complicated. As Springfield debates whether to mandate diversity in every corporate boardroom, nearly 4 of every 10 directors at Chicago’s biggest companies are women or minorities. – STEVE DANIELS (DIERSEN: How soon, if not already, will political parties mandate that their members, activists, leaders, candidates, major donors, political consultants, etc. must be minority, female, younger, non-Protestant, and non-German American? Will that result in the formation of a new political party that represents older White men who are Protestant and/or German American, that is, a political party that does not discriminate against those who are older, White, male, Protestant, or German-American?)

FORBES
— How Living Longer Impacts Your Retirement – Gregory Ostrowski (DIERSEN: My Civil Service Retirement System pension is only 42% of what my salary was in 1997 in today’s dollars.)
https://www.forbes.com/sites/forbesfinancecouncil/2019/05/01/how-living-longer-impacts-your-retirement/#160ea2d560be
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Especially for those on fixed incomes, such as retirees, inflation can negatively impact your standard of living in retirement by diminishing the purchasing power of your income. One way to prepare for such a scenario that can also help you overcome the risk of outliving your savings is to build a buffer into your retirement income projections. For instance, if you believe that a retirement income of $6,000 per month will be enough to pay your expenses, plan to save enough to generate $7,000 a month. Or if you think $7,000 per month will be enough, aim for $8,000, etc.)

— The Average Social Security Recipient Today Only Gets This Much Income Hint: It’s really not enough to live comfortably on. – Maurie Backman (DIERSEN: My Civil Service Retirement System pension is only 42% of what my salary was in 1997 in today’s dollars.) 
https://www.fool.com/retirement/2019/05/02/the-average-social-security-recipient-today-only-g.aspx
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Just as you need a roof over your head, a means of transportation, food, clothing, and healthcare during your working years, so too do you need all of these things in retirement. The same holds true for things like utilities, cable, communications (think your cellphone and internet service), and even leisure. Therefore, it’s silly to think that you’ll get by on 40% of your former earnings while maintaining a standard of living that’s similar to what you’re used to today. And even if you are willing to cut back on some expenses, to live on Social Security alone would likely require some drastic changes — changes you likely won’t be happy with.)

I would focus on my critics/opponents who are Republican, White, male, and older who have lots of religious, government, political, and/or financial clout in Wheaton, in Glen Ellyn, in Milton Township, in DuPage County, and in Illinois.) 
http://www.brinkwire.com/science/microsoft-employees-question-if-diversity-is-important/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Several Microsoft employees have been questioning whether diversity is important and slammed the tech giant for ‘discriminatory hiring’ against Asians and white men. The employees have been debating the company’s pro-diversity push on an internal online message board meant for communicating with Microsoft’s CEO Satya Nadella. Two posts that have been heavily argued were written by a female Microsoft program manager, Quartz reports. One of those posts questioned Microsoft’s push to hire more women and minorities, arguing that it discriminates against white and Asian men. It also criticizes the monetary incentives senior leadership are awarded if they hire female or minority employees. ‘Does Microsoft have any plans to end the current policy that financially incentivizes discriminatory hiring practices? To be clear, I am referring to the fact that senior leadership is awarded more money if they discriminate against Asians and white men,’ one post reads. ‘I have an ever-increasing file of white male Microsoft employees who have faced outright and overt discrimination because they had the misfortune of being born both white and male. This is unacceptable,’ she wrote in a follow up post on the thread.)

DAILY CALLER
— POYNTER INSTITUTE SHELVES ENTIRE BLACKLIST OF ‘UNRELIABLE’ NEWS OUTLETS FOLLOWING BACKLASH – Mike Brest (DIERSEN: According to my critics/opponents, www.gopillinois.com and GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails are unreliable. I should write a book about my critics/opponents. Better yet, I should sue them.) 
https://dailycaller.com/2019/05/02/poynter-shelves-entire-unreliable-news-outlets-list-following-backlash/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The Poynter Institute, a journalism nonprofit organization, has completely disabled a list of what they labeled as an extensive list of “unreliable” news websites on Thursday night after facing scrutiny in the days since its publication. A litany of conservative publications, including The Washington Free Beacon and The Washington Examiner, were lumped into the list of “unreliable” publications and it received nearly instantaneous condemnation from them. “Soon after we published, we received complaints from those on the list and readers who objected to the inclusion of certain sites, and the exclusion of others. We began an audit to test the accuracy and veracity of the list, and while we feel that many of the sites did have a track record of publishing unreliable information, our review found weaknesses in the methodology,” Poynter’s managing editor Barbara Allen said in a statement on their website. “We detected inconsistencies between the findings of the original databases that were the sources for the list and our own rendering of the final report.” She went on, “We are removing this unreliable sites list until we are able to provide our audience a more consistent and rigorous set of criteria.” Aside from the list of “unreliable” news outlets, the initial publication included an accompanying article that called for advertisers to use the list in an effort to “blacklist” these websites. That language was deleted from the story and an update went along with it. Baybars Orsek, the director of the International Fact-Checking Network, told the Washington Examiner that they would be “evaluating all removal requests on a case by case basis,” and adding that “the total number of complaints is less than 2% of the whole database.”)

In 1971, I viewed my stolen 1969 Dodge Charger SE in a Chicago auto pound. Because it had been stripped and damaged so much, I accepted a $2,500 insurance settlement and used it for a down payment on a new 1972 Corvette which I continue to own.)
