— Government officials, political party leaders, and candidates should be required to issue press releases ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Press_release ). Ever-increasingly, instead of issuing press releases, government officials, political party leaders, and candidates issue “statements” to “preferred reporters.” I should write a book about the many times since 2000 that instead of issuing a press release, government officials, political party leaders, and candidates in Illinois have sent a “statement” to a “preferred reporter.” I am not a “preferred reporter” because I refuse to a) give preferential treatment to, b) glorify and praise, c) pander to, d) serve as an operative or dupe for, or e) give money to government officials, political party leaders, and candidates. Further, I should write a book about government officials, political party leaders, and candidates who since 2000 have refused to keep diersen@aol.com on their press release and press advisory lists, that is, who refuse to treat me as being a member of the news media. They do not want me to a) know about their events, b) promote their events, c) attend their events, d) ask questions at their events, or e) report on their events. I would focus on those who paint themselves as being religious, conservative, and/or Republican. I would focus on those who treat Rich Miller as being their “preferred reporter.” – Dave Diersen

— Reporters and journalists who claim to be nonpartisan should be prohibited from a) giving preference to government officials, political party leaders, and candidates because of their political affiliation and b) spinning news to promote a political party’s platform. Ever-increasingly, reporters and journalists who claim to be nonpartisan give preference to Democrat government officials, to Democrat political party leaders, and to Democrat candidates. Ever-increasingly, they spin news to promote the Democrat Party platform. I should write a book about the many times since 2000 that reporters and journalists who claim to be nonpartisan a) have given preference to Democrat government officials, to Democrat political party leaders, and to Democrat candidates and b) have spun news to promote the Democrat Party platform. – Dave Diersen

CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— Despite some heated moments between demonstrators, Labor Day pro-Trump rally in Highland Park a peaceful one: City officials – JAMES T. NORMAN (DIERSEN: What if someone tried to organize a pro-Trump rally in your municipality, in your township, or in your county? What permits would they be required to get? How many weeks or months in advance of the rally would the application for a permit have to be filed? What would the permit fees cost? What restrictions would have to be complied with? Would elected officials allow a pro-Trump rally? How many would attend a pro-Trump rally? Which of your local Republican candidates, elected officials, and party leaders would want to speak at a pro-Trump rally?)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Highland Park police estimated that more than 300 people attended a pro-President Donald Trump rally Monday that was, overall, peaceful despite moments of contention between counter-demonstrators who showed up. Much of the three-hour Labor Day rally, which took place at the intersection of Central and St. Johns avenues, included participation from a few local organizations and groups, city officials said. Also, there was a heavy police presence. City Manager Ghida Neukirch said the city had assistance from multiple police departments, including Lake Forest, Highwood, Metra and the Northern Illinois Police Alarm System. She said the police presence was comparable to that of an event that was held in June, where the city saw more than 2,000 individuals come out. “We just wanted to staff appropriately in the event there was conflict between the groups …. Really thanks to the law enforcement representatives, the organizers, the attendees,” Neukirch said. “Because everyone was able to come together and express their different viewpoints in a peaceful manner.”)

SPRINGFIELD STATE JOURNAL REGISTER
— Alderwoman’s question about Trump boat rally on Lake Springfield turns up heat as election nears – Brenden Moore (DIERSEN: If a Trump boat rally took place in your municipality, in your township, or in your county, which activists, candidates, elected officials, party leaders, etc. would a) oppose it and b) defend it?)
https://www.sj-r.com/news/20200911/alderwomanrsquos-question-about-trump-boat-rally-on-lake-springfield-turns-up-heat-as-election-nears
(FROM THE ARTICLE: DiCenso said she was enjoying a day at the lake with her son and niece when she noticed the parade of boats “hooting and hollering and tooting their horns and having a jolly old time on Lake Springfield,” which is city-owned property. DiCenso said she fielded several calls complaining about the parade. CWLP chief utility engineer Doug Brown told City Council members that a permit had not been requested, and Zerkle, though acknowledging that a “boat parade” was not something the city typically deals with, said it was likely allowed under the First Amendment. “Generally speaking, the courts are going to protect freedom of speech,” Zerkle said. “So, absent a public safety concern — boats too close, driving too fast, unsafe activities by way of jumping out of the boats into the water, things of that nature — there’s going to be a preference to support the First Amendment.” The question was asked and answered, and the discussion was seemingly over within five minutes. But, it turns out, it was only the beginning. On Thursday, DiCenso became the target of fierce criticism from Sangamon County Republican Party chairwoman Rosemarie Long, who was responding to information on a flier that’s been making the rounds on social media. The flier claimed that DiCenso, following Tuesday’s meeting, had described the boat parade as “horrid and unacceptable” and that she had plans to propose an ordinance that would prevent the displaying of political signs and flags on lake property. The flier has been distributed to various lake clubs and to lake lease owners. Long, speaking at the party’s committee call, said she was “getting goosebumps because I’m so mad” about the claims. “I cannot tell you how upsetting this is to me,” Long said. “What happened to freedom in this country, in this town, in this county when they just think about not letting you place your American flag in your yard?” But DiCenso flatly denied the claims made in the flier, saying they contained “completely made up statements.” She also said she has never proposed preventing political signs or flags from being displayed on lake property and has no plans to introduce such a plan.)

https://radio.foxnews.com/2020/09/10/sarah-huckabee-sanders-i-wish-there-were-more-good-reporters-in-the-white-house-briefing-room/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: On Fox Across America with Jimmy Failla, former White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders talks about her new book Speaking For Myself and what she thinks about the reporters she faced in the White House Briefing Room. “I wish there were a lot more good reporters in that room. I wouldn’t put Jim (Acosta) on that list, but there are some of the toughest, shrewdest journalists from around the world that sit in there and throw tough questions at you day after day. And I do appreciate the work that they do and the service they provide to the country. I just would like to see them be a little bit more fair to this President and this administration.” “They would take anything that he said and make it as negative as possible. I witnessed that every single day and still see that even from the outside. No matter what this President does, no matter how successful he is, no matter what he accomplishes, they will find a way to attack it. And I think that is sad that most of those individuals, the liberal media elite, have decided that they hate Donald Trump more than they love our country. And I think that’s pretty disgraceful. I’m sad that we’ve gotten to that place.”)

POLITICO ILLINOIS
— MADIGAN’s CRUSADE – SHIA KAPOS
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The Illinois Democratic Party is on a crusade to grab as many seats as possible in the November election, which is just 56 days away — or less, if you’re voting by mail. Democratic and Republican sources say Dems could flip at least six House seats and, depending how much money House Speaker Michael Madigan throws at races, even more. There are a few reasons for a possible sweep. First, President Donald Trump is expected to hinder Republicans in suburban strongholds. Trump could lose by 10 to 15 points in some suburbs, which means Republicans in those districts would have to outperform the top of the ticket by that much — and that’s not likely without a lot of cash. The Illinois Republican Party doesn’t have the financial resources to compete with Democrats, who have amassed $3.7 million, according to the State Board of Elections website. That compares to Republicans who have close to $1.1 million in the bank. And Madigan, the Dems’ chief fundraiser, has an additional $14.8 million that he can spend on candidates — more than five times what Minority Leader Jim Durkin has. Democrats already have a majority in the House, holding 74 seats to the Republicans’ 44. So why push for more? With his position as House speaker coming up for a vote in January, Madigan officially needs 60 votes to be re-elected to the position, and it would be a show of force if he could get at least 70 votes. So it’s no wonder he’s making every effort to push Democrats over the line in November. Flipping more than six seats would be a reminder to Democrats that he’s critical to their party’s success. Republicans say Illinois voters dislike Madigan and it will show in the polls. “When voters are concerned about ethics and fiscal issues, we benefit,” said Jayme Odom, executive director of the House Republican Organization. “There’s no amount of money that can cover up the problems that the Democrats have with Mike Madigan in charge.” Mary Morrissey, executive director of the Illinois Democratic Party counters: “When Illinois Republicans refer to corruption, we assume they’re talking about their president and his daily affront to Americans, our constitution and the integrity of our democracy. When they mention the economy, we assume Illinois Republicans mean the growing economy Donald Trump inherited and tore apart with his disastrous response to the coronavirus pandemic.” The six Illinois House seats expected to flip: Allen Skillicorn. . .Morrison. . .Wehrli. . .Mazzochi. . .Stephens. . .Grant. . .Democrats also think they can defeat Republican Reps. John Cabello, Steve Reick, Norine Hammond, and Dan Ugaste, though GOP insiders expect the races to hinge on whether their GOP-leaning districts back Trump this time around. And Republicans hope to flip the 116th District: Republican David Friess, an attorney, vs. the recently appointed Dem Rep. Nathan Reitz; 111th District: Republican Amy Elik vs. Democratic Rep. Monica Bristow (Republicans lost by 356 votes to Bristow two years ago); and the 112th District that has Republican Lisa Ciampoli challenging Democratic Rep. Katie Stuart.)

DESERET NEWS
— Understanding ‘pink slime journalism’ and what it reveals about conservatives and liberals Websites featuring local news could be efforts to sway elections, media analysts say. But one publisher says he’s filling a void left by the closure of community newspapers – Jennifer Graham (DIERSEN: www.gopusaillinois.com does not masquerade.)
https://www.deseret.com/indepth/2020/9/7/21409053/understanding-pink-slime-journalism-and-what-it-reveals-about-conservatives-and-liberals
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Six in 10 Americans who are Republican, or lean that way, believe that news organizations make mistakes to deliberately mislead people, according to a new report from Pew Research Center. The number is even higher among supporters of President Donald Trump, who repeatedly berates the mainstream news media for dispensing what he calls “fake news.” That could make conservatives the group most susceptible to an emerging phenomenon that has been dubbed “pink-slime journalism,” websites that masquerade as local news, but may exist to promote a partisan agenda and gather data on users, according to an investigation by the Tow Center for Digital Journalism at Columbia University. The term “pink-slime journalism,” believed to have been coined in 2012 by journalist Ryan Smith, suggests something more sinister than “yellow journalism,” which describes news coverage that is overly sensational or tawdry and which dates to the 19th century. Pink-slime journalism, however, is thoroughly modern, enabled by computer-generated articles and accounts compiled by people who may not live in the United States.)

AMERICAN FOREIGN SERVICE ASSOCIATION
— Why “27 Years and Out” Should Be Retired – TED CRAIG (DIERSEN: The Democrats who run the federal government use Affirmative Action, Diversity, Inclusion, reorganizations, budget cuts, up-or-out, subjectivity in job assignments, subjectivity in performance appraisal, etc. to get rid of its employees who are Republican, White, male, and/or non-veteran who they have not promoted to GS-13 (currently $101,176) by age 25, GS-14 (currently $119,559) by age 30, GS-15 (currently $140,634) by age 35, and Senior Executive Service (currently $170,800) by age 40. Extremely few federal employees make the aforesaid promotion deadlines.)
http://www.afsa.org/why-27-years-and-out-should-be-retired
(FROM THE ARTICLE: This September I will retire from the U.S. Foreign Service. Not for lack of energy and commitment, as I sit squarely in my mid-50s and am in good health. Nor for lack of capability, if my last employee evaluation report in a senior overseas leadership position is to be credited. And not for any constraints on my readiness to serve. Along with scores of other capable colleagues every year, I am moving on because of the Service’s long-standing requirement that we retire after 27 years unless selected to the Senior Foreign Service. It is the deal we signed up for, so those of us who don’t cross the threshold must accept the outcome. Whether this deal still makes sense for the Foreign Service is another question. The 27-year threshold is the relic of an age of one-career couples and unsuited to the professional constraints faced today by single parents, dual-career partners, or just about anyone with a substantial life challenge. It is draining away experienced and skilled officers at a time of unprecedented challenge to our interests and ideals overseas, and it may play a role in limiting diversity in our senior ranks. The 27-year “Time in Service” (TIS) limit in the Foreign Service mirrors the U.S. military, where officers have that number of years to make flag rank—the one-star ranks of brigadier general for the Army, Air Force and Marine Corps, and rear admiral for the Navy—or face mandatory retirement. And some of the justifications for the system are similar for both the military and the diplomatic corps. First, the limitation ensures “pass-through” in the ranks, opening opportunities for the next generation of officers to move through the system as longer-serving officers are retired. Like most bureaucracies, we have a pyramid-shaped organization at the State Department. We need more mid-level diplomats than we do ambassadors and deputy assistant secretaries. There is not room for everyone to be selected for the Senior Foreign Service, and using upward progression as an incentive for superior performance is beneficial. A second argument for the TIS limit, unspoken in polite company, is that it rids the system of underperforming bureaucratic deadwood. This argument is less convincing. Like the military, the Foreign Service uses up-or-out all along the way, thinning the ranks at each step in promotion; anyone making our Service’s most senior “pre-flag” rank (FS-1, the protocol equivalent of a colonel) has been pushed forward by at least three promotion boards and should be a strong officer. While we still occasionally see underperformers marking time at the FS-1 rank, the reality is that most of those pushed out of the Service are still capable of strong contributions and valuable mentoring. Many will have been recommended for elevation to the Senior Foreign Service by the annual selection panels, falling short because of limited allotted slots for new senior officers.)

President Trump will try to put the media on the ballot, and reporters face the increasing temptation to posture for those most eager to oust him. – Ben Smith (DIERSEN: I should write a book about RINO activists, RINO candidates, RINO elected officials, RINO party leaders, RINO major donors, RINO political consultants, RINO campaign managers, RINO staff members, RINO volunteers, and RINO etc. who have worked the hardest since 2000 against me and against my GOPUSA ILLINOIS.

I worked for IRS for almost 9 years and I worked for GAO for almost 18 years. The goal of such training is to promote hatred against Republicans, and especially against Republicans who are conservative, White, male, older, heterosexual, married, non-poor, gun owners, Protestant, German American, draft avoiders, and those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time.)
https://www.dailywire.com/news/breaking-trump-bans-federal-money-from-funding-far-left-anti-american-critical-race-theory
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The Trump administration announced late on Friday that it was cracking down on “critical race theory,” a far-left anti-American ideology that promotes racial division, from being taught in federal agencies and paid for by federal money. The memo released by Russell Vought, Director of the Office of Management and Budget, called critical race theory “divisive” and “anti-American propaganda,” adding that the far-left ideology falsely promotes the notion that “there is racism embedded in the belief that America is the land of opportunity or the belief that the most qualified person should receive a job.” The memo states: “These types of “trainings” not only run counter to the fundamental beliefs for which our Nation has stood since its inception, but they also engender division and resentment within the Federal workforce. We can be proud that as an employer, the Federal government has employees of all races, ethnicities, and religions. We can be proud that Americans from all over the country seek to join our workforce and dedicate themselves to public service. We can be proud of our continued efforts to welcome all individuals who seek to serve their fellow Americans as Federal employees. However, we cannot accept our employees receiving training that seeks to undercut our core values as Americans and drive division within our workforce.” . . . One recent example of critical race theory that was exposed was at the National Museum for African American History and Culture (NMAAHC), which promoted the racist and bigoted notion that the following things were bad because they were part of “whiteness”: Self-reliance, Nuclear family unit, Objective, rational linear thinking, Hard work is the key to success, Work before play, Respect authority, Competition is good, and Progress)

Young wanted to paint the name of the movement on the Boardwalk, which Small said is illegal. The mayor then planned the city’s own even where the words could be painted in a public place.)

— IRS Takes Aim At High-Income Non-Filers. Will It Cut The ‘Tax Gap’? – Jeremy Temkin (DIERSEN: I was an IRS Revenue Officer for almost 9 years, the last 5 1/2 years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 levels, currently $85,084-$96,431/year. I worked for GAO on audits of IRS’s Criminal Investigation Division for three years at the GS-13 Step 1-3 levels, currently $101,176-$107,922/year. I passed the CPA and Certified Internal Auditor examinations on my first attempt. I have a master’s degree in accounting. I am a Certified Fraud Examiner and a Forensic Accountant. I should write a book about my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes who have demonized, denigrated, and condemned my knowledge of IRS the most. I would focus on past/present U.S. Senators, U.S. Representatives, their major donors, their political consultants, their campaign managers, their staff members, and their volunteers.)
https://www.forbes.com/sites/insider/2020/08/13/irs-takes-aim-at-high-income-non-filers-will-it-cut-the-tax-gap/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: As announced, IRS revenue officers were going to visit non-filers in order to apprise them of their filing and payment obligations in the hopes of bringing them into compliance. Of course, the Covid-19 pandemic made face-to-face visits impossible, and the IRS was forced to suspend its efforts with respect to non-filers by virtue of its People First Initiative, which expired on July 15, 2020. . .Fortunately for many high-income non-filers, the anticipated visits will be conducted by revenue officers (who pursue collections) as opposed to special agents (who bring criminal cases) and, in announcing its initiative, the IRS stressed that the visits “underscore the importance of people filing their taxes . . . , even if they can’t pay the full amount of tax due.” As I previously noted, filing a delinquent return (even without the required payment) will reduce the likelihood of a criminal prosecution. Thus, high-income non-filers should take advantage of the IRS’s initiative to bring themselves into compliance even if they can’t pay their full bill; those who fail to do so after being contacted by a revenue officer will be exposing themselves to a heightened risk of criminal prosecution.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Shortly after the newest banner appeared at Maine East, Maine Township Republican Committeewoman Char Foss-Eggemann, of Park Ridge, posted a message on the Republicans of Maine Township Facebook page, writing that it is “a breach of the public trust to use taxpayer-funded government property to post political messages.” She encouraged followers of the pages to email District 207 Supt. Ken Wallace to inquire about the banner, which she referred to as a “BLM banner,” the abbreviation standing for “Black lives matter.” The message was also shared by the Republican Women of Park Ridge Facebook page, an organization of which Foss-Eggemann is also a leader. In an email to Pioneer Press, Foss-Eggemann said the Maine East banners contain “political messaging” and the name of “a specific political organization,” Black Lives Matter. “There should be zero debate on this because it is self-evident,” Foss-Eggemann said. “Political messages do not belong on any government building, period.” In an email to Wallace, which Foss-Eggemann also shared, she suggested the district could achieve “an environment of equality, inclusion and kindness” by using “apolitical banners which avoid politically-charged slogans or words routinely and/or commercially associated with various political group(s).”)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: On a call with reporters hosted by the Biden campaign Friday, Illinois Sen. Tammy Duckworth lambasted Trump for “belittling the sacrifices of those who have shown more bravery than he’s capable of.” Duckworth, a retired Army National Guard lieutenant colonel who lost both of her legs in the Iraq War, has been a prominent critic of Trump’s handling of military issues. Knocking Trump for allegedly inventing an injury to avoid serving in the Vietnam War, Duckworth said that she’d “take my wheelchair and my titanium legs over Donald Trump’s supposed bone spurs any day.” Khizr Khan, the Gold Star father who drew national attention after criticizing Trump during the 2016 Democratic National Convention, joined Duckworth on the call and said that Trump’s “life is a testament to selfishness.”)

— While Underwood wants to boost postal funding, Oberweis suggests reducing mail delivery – Russell Lissau (DIERSEN: Because of complaints about slow delivery of Christmas mail in 1965, the Democrats who ran the Post Office got a budget increase that resulted in the Democrats who ran the Park Forest Post Office hiring me in November of 1966. They could not find a qualified Democrat, minority, female, or veteran who would take the job. I worked a) part-time while I was a full-time student at UIC 1966-1968 and at NIU in 1969 and b) full-time during the summers of 1967, 1968 and 1969. They outrageously succeeded in forcing me to resign in September of 1969 by falsely claiming that I would not be available to work enough part-time hours. I was available to work all Mondays, all Fridays, all Saturdays, all Sundays, all holidays, and all days that NIU was not in session. My Democrat Park Forest Post Office supervisor made it clear that he strongly disapproved of my following demographics: Republican, conservative, Missouri Synod Lutheran, 100% German American, union member, non-poor, college student, draft avoider, Crete resident since 1948, owner of a 1966 Pontiac Tempest Sprint, then a 1968 Oldsmobile 442, and then a 1969 Dodge Charger SE, and my ancestors had been in America since 1844.)

— Three Types of Foot Voting – ILYA SOMIN (DIERSEN: What political jurisdictions do you live in? I live in the 6th Congressional District, 21st Legislative District, 42nd Representative District, DuPage County, DuPage County Board and Forest Preserve District 4, DuPage County Educational Service Region, Wheaton, Wheaton West District, Wheaton Park District, Milton Township, Community Unit School District 200, College of DuPage District 502, and Milton Township Precinct 9. Sadly, I should write a book about those who have worked the hardest to drive me and those who share my demographics out of the aforesaid political jurisdictions. I would focus on those in the aforesaid political jurisdictions that have lots of religious, government, political, and/or financial clout. They focus on driving out those like me who oppose the promotion of dependency on government, dependency on charity, LGBTQ, 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. They focus on driving out those like me who have the following demographics: Trump supporter, conservative, patriotic, Republican, American, White, male, older, heterosexual, married, non-poor, gun owner, Protestant, German American, and those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time.)
