CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— Naperville’s links to presidents, from Buchanan to Bush – Suzanne Baker  (DIERSEN: Did you walk with Bush and Cheney in Naperville’s Labor Day parade in 2000?  I did.  Earlier that year, I asked Governor George Ryan and Senate President Pate Philip to invite Bush to walk in Wheaton’s 2000 Independence Day Parade.)
http://www.chicagotribune.com/suburbs/naperville-sun/ct-nvs-president-naperville-link-st-0219-20170217-story.html
(PICTURE CAPTION: President George Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney walk in the Last Fling Labor Day Parade in Naperville in 2000, before they were elected to their White House posts. It was while in Naperville that Bush made his much-reported comment about a New York Times reporter being a “major league a——.” FROM THE ARTICLE: As a presidential candidate, then-Texas Gov. George W. Bush marched in the Last Fling’s Labor Day Parade in 2000 after holding a rally at Naperville North High School. It was on the rally stage before the speech when the candidate, who was oblivious the microphones were live, pointed out a veteran political reporter to his running mate Dick Cheney and said, “There’s Adam Clymer, major-league a—— from The New York Times.”)
— U.S. presidents have made a few stops in Elgin – Mike Danahey  (DIERSEN: What municipality do you live in?  What does the mayor of your municipality think of Republicans?  What if the mayor of your municipality at his/her annual state of the city address in front of 150 dignitaries publicly insulted your municipality’s top Republican promoter not only once, but three times?  What if the mayor of your municipality increasingly talked and acted like he/she a) wanted to ban Republicans from all parades in your municipality and b) drive all Republican individuals, Republican organizations, and Republican companies out of your municipality?  One could compare and contrast Wheaton and Bolingbrook in this regard.  Since 2000, I have taken the lead in encouraging Republican candidates and elected officials to walk in Wheaton’s Independence Day parades.  This year will be the 12th year in a row that I have raised money from Republicans to sponsor entries in the parade.  I 2007, I raised $2,000 from Republicans to sponsor an elephant to walk behind Congressman Roskam in the parade; outstandingly, Bolingbrook Mayor Roger Claar contributed $500.)

CHAMPAIGN/URBANA NEWS GAZETTE
— Urbana business development – Tom Kacich
http://www.news-gazette.com/news/local/2017-02-17/toms-mailbag-feb-17-2017.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: “With the primary election near, (Urbana Mayor Laurel) Prussing has been repeating that ‘In the last four years alone, we have added 115 new or expanded businesses throughout the city.’ That comes to fewer than three per month. Even so, is there any way to sort this out? For instance, how many of these ‘new businesses’ are video-gambling parlors, payday-loan storefronts, beer-and-cigarette outlets or pin-money enterprises operating from sewing rooms or garages in private homes? Also, is there a tally of how many larger-scale businesses, in that same time period, have shut down or moved to Champaign?” Better late than never: Today, we got a list from the city of Urbana of 127 businesses that have opened or expanded since 2013. The list also contains seven businesses that are “coming soon,” seven others that have moved and 19 that have closed. The new or expanded businesses include everything from a ballet studio and guitar repair shop to new restaurants and coffee shops. There’s also a medical-marijuana dispensary.)

http://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2017/02/cpac-2017-tells-trump-supporters-kiss-off-loads-speaking-list-nevertrumpers/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The 2017 Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) will kick off next week at the Gaylord National Resort and Convention Center in Washington DC. CPAC hid their speaker list for the past month and just started updating the list this past week. And just as we assumed — CPAC loaded the roster with committed #NeverTrumpers and ignored the grassroots supporters and websites that got Republican President Donald Trump Elected. It should really be no surprise. After all these “principled conservatives” planned a walk out protest last year for Donald Trump. Trump withdrew from the conference but the crowd did give big spender Paul Ryan a standing ovation. That’s CPAC! This year CPAC ignored many of the top Trump supporters who helped get him elected. These top election influencers will not be speaking at CPAC despite their work to get Trump elected. . .Instead the speaker list includes this committed #NeverTrumpers: . .Face it Trump supporters – CPAC still hates you.)

WALL STREET JOURNAL
— It’s Racial Indoctrination Day at an Upscale Chicagoland School  As administrators foist ‘social justice’ on 4,000 suburban students, parents plead for balance. – PETER BERKOWITZ (FROM THE ARTICLE: Instead of teaching, the school’s aim seems to be hammering home to students that racism plagues America and will persist until white people admit their unjust privilege, renounce their unearned power, and make amends for the entrenched oppression from which they continue to profit handsomely.)
https://www.wsj.com/articles/its-racial-indoctrination-day-at-an-upscale-chicagoland-school-1487375679
(FROM THE ARTICLE: What passes for education at many American public schools is too often closer to indoctrination. Consider the seminar day that New Trier High School, in Winnetka, Ill., on Chicago’s affluent North Shore, is planning for Feb. 28. The title for the all-school seminar is “Understanding Today’s Struggle for Racial Civil Rights.” That very term, “racial civil rights,” is misleading, since civil rights protect Americans’ freedoms regardless of their race. Judging from the roster of scheduled events, the seminar might be more accurately titled “Inculcating a Progressive View of Social Justice.” Here are a few of the offerings scheduled for presentation to New Trier’s roughly 4,000 students: “SPENT: A Simulation to See How Long You Can Survive on Minimum Wage”—which touches on race at best tangentially. “Developing a Positive, Accountable White Activism for Racial Civil Rights”—which promotes a divisive view of race as a primordial fact, the essence of identity, a bright line between oppressed and oppressor. “One Person One Vote: Can the Voting Rights Act Be Saved?”—which absurdly suggests that the Voting Rights Act is at risk of being repealed. There are plenty of sessions on the connections that music, art and culture have with civil rights. Very little programming, however, is devoted to actually explaining to students what civil rights are and what their place is in this country’s political tradition. Yet the continuing quest to fulfill America’s founding promise is unintelligible without a grasp of how civil rights are grounded in the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. Or without an understanding of the often-heroic struggle for civil rights over the course of American history—the abolition movement, the Civil War, the great Reconstruction constitutional amendments, the grievous setback of Jim Crow, the modern civil-rights movement, the landmark Supreme Court cases like Brown v. Board of Education. Instead of teaching, the school’s aim seems to be hammering home to students that racism plagues America and will persist until white people admit their unjust privilege, renounce their unearned power, and make amends for the entrenched oppression from which they continue to profit handsomely. This despite the school board’s written policy to provide a “balanced view” on “controversial issues,” and the seminar’s stated purpose “not to promote the philosophy of one political party or another.” On Monday a group of concerned New Trier parents will make a final attempt to persuade the school board to alter the seminar’s programming to include a diversity of views about race and rights in America. The parents have proposed, for example, inviting black conservative intellectuals—such as my Hoover Institution colleague Shelby Steele and this newspaper’s Jason Riley—or people like Pastor Corey Brooks, the director of Project Hood, which seeks to end violence and build communities on Chicago’s South Side. So far, these efforts have been met with stonewalling and vitriol. On Feb. 6, a group of recent New Trier graduates—some of whom helped plan the seminar day—published an open letter to explain why the parents’ proposals are unreasonable and immoral. The letter opens with a long quotation from Martin Luther King Jr.’s 1963 masterpiece, “Letter From a Birmingham Jail.” The implicit message is that the New Trier parents are comparable to the “white moderate” King reproaches for preferring order to justice. King’s admonition to the comfortable—to imagine themselves in the place of the persecuted and downtrodden—is a timeless message, but inapt for the situation. New Trier failed to teach the letter writers the distinction between political activism and education. The seminar day presupposes that the pervasiveness and potency of racism in America are facts beyond dispute, rather than hypotheses to be critically examined. That’s why the letter writers dismiss the parents’ desire for a multiplicity of views as an effort “to distract the conversation.” Let’s hope that the concerned New Trier parents succeed Monday in teaching the New Trier school board about education’s proper purpose. If not, maybe the best thing might be for more families to follow the parent group’s advice: “Excuse your child for the day, and encourage him or her to volunteer”—perhaps with Corey Brooks and Project Hood.)

My father was the first of his ancestors to earn a high school diploma.  My mother never attended high school. Because of the aforesaid, while I was in grade school and in high school, I was not viewed as being “college material.” People were shocked that I got a score of 24 on the ACT, that I graduated in the upper 20% of my high school class, and that UIC accepted me.)

http://peoriapublicradio.org/post/college-admissions-bill-advances-illinois-house#stream/0
(FROM THE ARTICLE: An Illinois House committee has cleared a proposal that would require public universities to admit first-time freshman applicants who finish with a GPA in the top 10% of their high school’s graduating class.  The House Higher Education Committee passed the bill despite opposition from the University of Illinois and the Illinois Board of Higher Education. Democratic Rep. Andre Thapedi of Chicago sponsored the bill, saying the University of Illinois lacks diversity. The Urbana campus has 5.4% black enrollment, with higher percentages at the Chicago and Springfield campuses. University of Illinois director of state relations Jennifer Creasey says the university doesn’t believe admission criteria should be in the law. She says there are a lot of disparities on class ranking throughout the state.)

CNBC
— Trump: I fired Flynn because of what he told Pence – Jacob Pramuk  (DIERSEN: Have you been fired from a paid job, and if so, why?  Constructively, my Democrat GAO superiors fired me in 1997 when I was 49 years old by forcing me to take their early retirement “offer” because since 1988, I had been an active member in a class action lawsuit that charged GAO with reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation and because I had complained about political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and retaliation before then. My Chicago Heights Firestone Store Manager fired me in 1971 immediately after I told him that I had accepted a job offer from Oldsmobile.  Constructively, my Democrat Park Forest Post Office superiors fired me in 1969 because I could only commit to be available to work Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays, Mondays, and all days that NIU was not in session.)

But Rauner said he didn’t have his reading glasses and “I’m a little old for this type.”  The delay lasted for several minutes, during which Rauner asked if anyone had “a good story” and told the audience he wouldn’t sing because he’s no good at it. After turning briefly to Democratic House Speaker Michael Madigan, Rauner said Madigan had quipped: “It’s the Russians.” That remark drew laughter from across the chamber.)

— Readers react: New Trier’s civil rights seminar  (DIERSEN: Joseph A. Morris comment on the “Helicopter parents” letter: “Professor Ebner writes, “I taught American history at colleges and universities in New York City and Illinois for 40 years.  Never did I encounter criticism from parents — or administrators — about the design of courses I offered or the content of their subject matter.” Mr. Ebner’s stunning admission — that for 40 years no one paid any attention to what he was doing in his classrooms — explains how and why American higher education has gone to hell in a handbasket in the last 40 years, setting the stage for infectious political correctness and related boobery to pass from the colleges to the high schools.” Morris comment on the “Inquire, commit, serve” letter: “Ms. Koerner writes: “Now, more than ever, our young people need to be reading and hearing authors like Colson Whitehead and Andrew Aydin.” At the ceremony held in New York City last fall just days after the national election, as the prestigious national book award was presented to Mr. Whitehead, the honoree said, “We’re happy in here; outside is the blasted hellhole wasteland of Trumpland. Be kind to everybody, make art and fight the power.”  Will he convey a similarly objective, politically-neutral, uplifting, and dignified message to the students of New Trier High School? Andrew Aydin’s day job is as the “Digital Director and Policy Advisor” to Congressman John Lewis (D-Georgia) in the latter’s office on Capitol Hill;  before that he was employed on the Lewis campaign staff in Georgia. I suspect that the number of paid Republican political operatives who will be paid by New Trier High School to grace the Seminar Day can be counted on zero fingers, and I suspect, further, that the disparity is no accident. Odd that Ms. Koerner doesn’t swell with gleeful anticipation of the visits by others among the Seminar Day’s speakers, such as Monica Trinidad (who organizes boycotts of ballet companies featuring Jewish artists because she doesn’t want to “dance with Israeli apartheid”); and the “poet” whose nom de plume is “John the Author” and whose oeuvre includes “poetry” such as the following stirring anthem to racial tolerance and what education can accomplish, an exhortation that no doubt embodies what Ms. Koerner imagines to be the school’s lofty goals to “inspire, commit, and serve”: “Not graduate from back, Give back, nigga, Tell them get back, nigga”.”  Morris comment on the “Mandatory seminar” letter: “Mr. Sloane of Glendale Heights may or may not have learned to read in the feeder schools that serve the upscale New Trier Township High School, but it is puzzling that he wonders “if the high school is focusing on the fight for equal rights in the 1950s and 1960s” when the title of the Seminar Day program is “Understanding Today’s Struggle for Racial Civil Rights” (emphasis added).  The word “Today’s” is probably a dead giveaway that the aim of the program is not a retrospective on the history of half a century and more ago.  Another dead giveaway of the aim of the program is the insertion of the word “Racial” which, of course, undermines the fundamental American proposition that “rights”, civil and otherwise, belong to individuals and not to races.)

— U.S. Ethics Office Calls for Investigation of Trump Aide’s Comments  (DIERSEN: I should write book about elected officials and party leaders in Wheaton, in Glen Ellyn, in Milton Township, in DuPage County, and in Illinois who misuse their position.  Most commonly, they misuse their position by demonizing, denigrating, and condemning a) those who do not pander to them, b) those who fail/refuse to serve as one of their operatives or dupes, and c) those who do not give them money.  Those who attended the January 19, 2017 Wheaton Chamber of Commerce State of the City address saw such misuse of position at the end of the program.)
http://www.voanews.com/a/us-ethics-office-calls-for-investigation-of-trump-aide-conway-comments/3725496.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: In the letter, OGE Director Walter M. Shaub, Jr. encouraged the White House to punish Conway if necessary. “These facts, if true, would establish a clear violation of the prohibition against misuse of position,” Shaub wrote. “Therefore, I recommend that the White House investigate Ms. Conway’s actions and consider taking disciplinary action against her.” Shaub also noted in his letter that Conway’s actions are almost identical to an example used during ethics training about what not to do while employed by the White House. “I note that OGE’s regulation on misuse of position offers as an example the hypothetical case of a Presidential appointee appearing in a television commercial to promote a product,” he wrote. “Ms. Conway’s actions track that example almost exactly.”)

MANAGED CARE MAGAZINE
— DIERSEN HEADLINE: To promote LGBTQ activity is to promote STDs. Democrats focus on promoting LGBTQ activity, that is, Democrats focus on promoting STDs.
https://www.managedcaremag.com/archives/2017/2/far-over-stds-have-made-comeback
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Sexually transmitted disease (STD) rates in the United States are at record highs, and many experts fear they will continue to climb because of meager funding of public health clinics and diminished sex education in schools. Throw the repeal of large chunks of the ACA and the end of federal government funds for Planned Parenthood into the mix, and a bad situation will only get worse, say some experts. “It’s a perfect storm that would allow more people to become infected” as education that could help prevent the spread of STDs falters and the places where people can go to be tested dwindle, says John Steever, MD, an assistant professor of pediatrics and a member of the faculty at the Adolescent Health Center of the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York. The cost of STDs is enormous for those infected but also for society as a whole. The direct cost of treating STDs is almost $16 billion per year, according to the CDC. That is more than twice the CDC’s annual budget. The cost of STD care “is the magnitude of a natural disaster every year,” says Supriya Mehta, an associate professor at the University of Illinois at Chicago School of Public Health. The CDC estimates that, at any given time, more than 100 million Americans have an STD. Roughly 20 million new cases occur each year, with half of those affecting young people between the ages of 15 and 24. In addition, one quarter of sexually active adolescent females have an STD. Blacks and men who have sex with men also tend to have a higher prevalence of STDs.)

In my defense, I stress that I have served as the GOPUSA Illinois Editor since 2000, that thousands of Republican activists, candidates, elected officials, party leaders, major donors, political consultants, etc. across Illinois regularly read GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails, that since 2004, those emails have gone out each and every morning, that since 2015, those emails have gone out each and every evening too, that since 2004, those emails have included links to almost 262,000 articles and information on many upcoming events, that much of what I did for GAO for almost 18 years, the last 11 years of which at the GS-13 Step 1-10 levels, currently $94,610-$122,991, is very similar to what journalists do, that my wife and I have enough income and net worth that I do not need to be paid for what I do as your GOPUSA Illinois Editor, nor do I want to be paid for what I do for you as your GOPUSA Illinois Editor, he who pays the piper calls the tunes, and I do not want anyone to call my tunes.)

— Peruvian woman can be deported from U.S. for voting illegally – Joseph Ax
http://www.reuters.com/article/us-illinois-crime-voterfraud-idUSKBN15S2GN
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Fitzpatrick, who is married to a U.S. citizen, applied for an Illinois driver’s license over a decade ago, according to court papers. Like many states, Illinois allows individuals to register to vote when applying for a license under a “motor-voter” law. She showed a desk clerk her Peruvian passport and U.S. green card when filling out the paperwork, her attorney said. The clerk asked her whether she wanted to register to vote and told her, “It’s up to you,” according to court papers. Fitzpatrick’s lawyer, Richard Hanus, told the 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Chicago that his client therefore had “official approval” and should not be held responsible for an innocent mistake. A three-judge panel wrote on Monday that Fitzpatrick had checked a box affirming she was a U.S. citizen and that the clerk’s response was not an authorization.)

But potential employers dismiss that hinting/implying/arguing/shouting that all GAO employees and that all IRS employees have always been grossly overpaid.)

The more information you can take in can influence how you communicate with the world. If you are writing about a certain topic, you do your research. But why stop there? Strike up a conversation with your coworkers and get their opinions and views on different subjects. God teaches us to be in the world, so be in the world. Learn and listen to everything so you can properly communicate with others.)

In those 3 years, I went from GS-7 (currently $44,853) to GS-12 (currently $79,563).  But then, my Democrat superiors succeeded in getting rid of the IRS manager who had promoted me in 1972, 1973, and 1974. It was all downhill from there.  I was somewhat of an up-and-coming GAO employee 1986-1988.  In those 3 years, I got assigned to audits of IRS’s Criminal Investigation Division and promoted to GS-13 (currently $94,610).  But then, my Democrat superiors succeeded in getting rid of the GAO manager who had hired me, who had gotten me assigned to audits of IRS, and who had promoted me to GS-13. It was all downhill from there.)

https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2017/02/11/us/politics/sean-spicer-white-house-press-briefing.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The 49 seats in the photo above (and chart below) have been assigned by the independent White House Correspondents’ Association since 1981, largely because administrations of both parties wanted to avoid the appearance of favoritism. The briefings in the first few weeks of the Trump administration have been packed, with many reporters who do not have assigned seats standing in the aisles or sitting in empty chairs. In the past, White House press secretaries tended to prioritize the reporters sitting in the first two rows. They would give the first question to The Associated Press (after decades of starting with Helen Thomas, long known as the dean of the White House press corps). Then it was on to the major networks, newspapers and other wire services. Mr. Spicer has bypassed this convention. As he goes around the room, Mr. Spicer typically calls on media organizations outside the mainstream before getting to more traditional news outlets.)

http://www.chicagotribune.com/suburbs/ct-congressman-roskam-rejects-public-meeting-call-0211-20170210-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: U.S. Rep. Peter Roskam has turned down a third request by the League of Women Voters to appear at a public forum in his suburban district, saying Friday that “large meetings tend to devolve into shouting matches.”  The Wheaton Republican was confronted last weekend by a few hundred protesters when he spoke at a Palatine Township Republican Organization meeting. He is one of several GOP congressman whose appearances have been met with angry protests fueled by Democrats and encouraged by social media. Roskam, in an interview Friday, said he prefers to limit constituent meetings to 25 people. “My experience is that, and we see this around the country, where these large meetings tend to devolve in shouting matches,” he said. “And they’re not helpful in public discourse and it seems like people leave more upset and more angry than when they came.” Asked why he spoke to the Palatine Township GOP event that was attended by about 100 people, Roskam said, “That’s not a forum where it’s conducive to shouting. I mean, these are not people that are coming to shout at a meeting.” A six-term House lawmaker, Roskam met Thursday for about an hour with 12 representatives of the nonpartisan League of Women Voters’ eight chapters in his district. He declined their bid to host him at a large public meeting, an effort league officials said was prompted by a “groundswell of public interest” in having him address voters. Gail Chaney Kalinich, a lawyer and official of the League of Women Voters of Glen Ellyn, said Roskam had agreed to the Thursday meeting as long as no recording devices were used and no members of the news media were on hand. Last October, she said, seven league chapters wanted to host Roskam at a candidate forum with his Democratic rival, but he said no. This month, eight leagues offered to host him on Feb. 23 — or another day that week — during the upcoming congressional recess. Again, the group was told no. On Thursday the leagues were open to any future date for a meeting but were refused, Kalinich said. “He stated that in his view, small meetings are more productive, that a conversation occurs that is not possible with a larger group and that he does not see a way for a large meeting at this point in time to result in anything more than a screaming match,” Kalinich said. Roskam on Friday defended his record in meeting with constituents. “I don’t think I am inaccessible,” he said. . .Kalinich acknowledged that Roskam meets with small groups of people and hosts “telephone town halls” when to her understanding about 20 people are allowed to speak or ask a question. “This isn’t a situation where he’s never communicating,” she said. “He’s communicates in ways that he finds useful and appropriate.”)

http://www.satprnews.com/2017/02/10/governor-announces-new-efforts-to-expand-diversity-programs-at-tollway/
(FROM THE PRESS RELEASE: Governor Bruce Rauner joined Tollway Chairman Bob Schillerstrom, Board Directors Corey Brooks and Joe Gomez, and Executive Director Greg Bedalov today to highlight the Tollway’s efforts in strengthening diversity programs to build new opportunities and assistance for minorities, women and veterans. These efforts are breaking down barriers for businesses owned by minorities, women and veterans to compete for state contracts and for workers to qualify for good-paying construction and engineering jobs. „Our commitment to having a diverse workforce is leading to stable, good-paying contracts and job opportunities for minorities, women and veterans,” said Governor Bruce Rauner. „This is just the beginning. When these businesses succeed, we all succeed. I thank the Tollway for its commitment and dedication to ensuring all Illinoisans have access these economic opportunities.” The Tollway’s commitment to strengthening its diversity efforts puts the State of Illinois at the leading edge of diversity initiatives nationwide and serves as a blueprint for continuing to expand these programs in the future. In 2017, the Tollway is boosting its annual investment by more than 60 percent to fund programs that will increase participation by diverse businesses and workers in the Tollway’s 15 year $12 billion Move Illinois capital program.)

Smith  (DIERSEN: I worked for GAO 1980-1997, IRS 1971-1980, and the Post Office 1966-1969.  Constructively, those who hate the federal government have always had those agencies “up for elimination.”  Who hates the federal government the most in your precinct, in your municipality, in your township/ward, in your county, and in Illinois?  Which current and former federal employees in your precinct, in your municipality, in your township/ward, in your county, and in Illinois do they hate the most?)
