PRESS DEMOCRAT
— Reporters don’t belong on secret government watchlists – Editorial
https://www.pressdemocrat.com/opinion/9381787-181/pd-editorial-reporters-dont-belong
(FROM THE EDITORIAL: For some government officials, journalists are at best a nuisance. Reporters ask for public records, show up at public meetings and shine sunlight on the goings-on of government. Then editorial writers and columnists comment on what elected officials and bureaucrats do. We get it. It can be annoying for elected officials and government bureaucrats. Press watchdogs work hard to keep the people informed about things. It would be so much easier to run things if the public weren’t always looking over your shoulder. But democracy doesn’t work that way. Government transparency ensures that the public can engage fully in policy decisions and cast informed votes on Election Day.)

Virtually none of my Democrat superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and in federal government did that. To get better paying jobs, they helped their superiors get rid of employees who were Republican, White, male, and/or non-veteran who had not made GS-13 (currently $96,403) by age 25, GS-14 (currently $113,920) by age 30, GS-15 (currently $134,000) by age 35, and Senior Executive Service (currently $164,200) by age 40, that is, they helped implement Affirmative Action, Diversity, Inclusion, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, retaliation, up-or-out, and even worse things.)

— The Left vs. Life in General – Deana Chadwell
https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2019/03/the_left_vs_life_in_general.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The concepts of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness are dear, or once were dear, to the hearts of all Americans. These are the sacred rights of all human beings — “sacred” because they are God-given and are not derived from government, rather government’s only mandate is to provide cover for those rights. However, due to decades of twisted school curricula, and of postmodern, subjective journalism, we’ve arrived at a place where a sizable percentage of our population finds equality, immorality, and environmentalism superior concepts. In fact the left finds these ideas so compelling that they are willing to sacrifice the lives of us all to impose widespread adherence to these new gods. Equality alone is deadly. Despite its description as “leveling the playing field” there is nothing level, nothing honest about it. The left openly wants to redistribute wealth as if a cosmic unfairness had declared some rich and some poor and government’s job is to rectify that. That attitude might have made sense back in feudal times, when upward mobility was close to impossible, but it makes no sense at all in a society where millions have manufactured their own wealth and the door of possibilities stands wide open. At least for now.)

— Kinzinger: Border Remarks Were Freedom of Speech A spokeswoman for an Illinois congressman who doubles as a Wisconsin National Guard pilot says he shouldn’t face any discipline for criticizing Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers for withdrawing troops from the U.S. southern border. – AP (DIERSEN: My Democrat superiors in the federal government used Affirmative Action, Diversity, and Inclusion a) to hire, retain, and promote young Democrat minorities and young Democrat females and b) to get rid of their employees who were Republican, White, male, and/or non-veteran who they had not promoted to GS-13 (currently $96,403) by age 25, GS-14 (currently $113,920) by age 30, GS-15 (currently $134,000) by age 35, and Senior Executive Service (currently $164,200) by age 40. Because I complained about that and because I became an active member in a class action lawsuit that charged them with reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation, my Democrat superiors in the federal government wasted my federal career and forced me to retire in 1997 when I was 49 years old.)

ABC7
— Man plans to spend retirement at the Holiday Inn because it’s cheaper (DIERSEN: My 88-year-old aunt is paying $252 per day at an assisted living facility.)
https://abc7chicago.com/society/man-plans-holiday-inn-retirement-because-its-cheaper/5157421/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Robison wrote on Facebook that the average cost of nursing home care is about $188 per day. A long-term stay with a senior discount at Holiday Inn, on the other hand, is $59.23 per day. “That leaves $128.77 a day for lunch and dinner in any restaurant we want, or room service, laundry, gratuities and special TV movies,” he wrote. “Plus, they provide a spa, swimming pool, a workout room, a lounge and washer-dryer, etc.” The benefits of Holiday Inn, Robison added, also include free toothpaste, razors, shampoo and soap. An additional $5 a day in tips will “have the entire staff scrambling to help you” as well, he wrote. “They treat you like a customer, not a patient,” he said. Holiday Inn also provides a spa, swimming pool, gym, lounge and washer-dryers, but the amenities don’t stop there. The location where Robison checked out reservations has a city bus stop right in front, where seniors can ride for free. In addition, guests can “take the airport shuttle bus” to eat at one of the restaurants at the local airport for “a change of scenery,” he wrote. From there, they can take a flight to another Holiday Inn as well, he mused. “You’re not stuck in one place forever — you can move from Inn or Inn, or even from city to city,” he wrote. The competition to find a comfortable room isn’t as steep either, Robison wrote. “It takes months to get into decent nursing homes,” he wrote. “Holiday Inn will take your reservation today.” The maintenance is virtually nonexistent, Robison figured. “TV broken? Light bulbs need changing? Need a mattress replaced? No problem,” Robison wrote. “They fix everything, and apologize for the inconvenience.” Robison did not mention what kind of health he is in, but said staff like a security guard or maid could check to see if he is OK as well as call an ambulance or an undertaker, whichever is needed. “If you fall and break a hip, Medicare will pay for the hip, and Holiday Inn will upgrade you to a suite for the rest of your life,” he wrote, adding that he’d face his “golden age” with “a grin.” A representative for InterContinental Hotels Group, which Holiday Inn is a subsidiary of, did not immediately respond to ABC News’ request for comment.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: The Venezuelan government briefly detained Jorge Ramos, the star Spanish-language television journalist, during an interview with the country’s embattled president, Nicolas Maduro. Ramos and the Univision News television crew accompanying him were subsequently released. The journalists were detained nearly three hours at Venezuela’s presidential palace after Maduro bristled over Ramos’ questions, a Univision News representative said late Monday. “They have now been released, but their equipment and interview material has been confiscated,” Univision News spokesman Jose Zamora said in an email to The Times. “They will be deported from Venezuela in the morning. It has been a clear attack against freedom of the press.”)

— Univision’s Jorge Ramos detained in Venezuela after Maduro interview, network says Anchor, who has reportedly been released, asked question embattled leader did not approve of, according to Univision executive – Joe Parkin Daniels (DIERSEN: If you want to demonize, denigrate, and condemn someone, you call them “combative.” My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes would call me “combative.”)
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2019/feb/25/jorge-ramos-univision-detained-venezuela-maduro-interview
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The Univision anchor Jorge Ramos has been detained in the Miraflores presidential palace in Caracas, Venezuela, the network announced on Monday evening. The Mexican-born journalist was interviewing Venezuela’s embattled president Nicolás Maduro when he and his crew were detained after asking a question the combative Maduro did not approve of, according to a tweet by the network’s US president, Daniel Coronell. The team’s equipment had also been confiscated, Coronell said. Coronell later said Ramos and his team had been released and he had spoken to the journalist. The equipment as well as the material that upset Maduro were confiscated. Reuters reported that Venezuela was going to deport the group. Ramos told Univision that the offending line of questioning came when he showed Maduro images taken on Ramos’ phone of Venezuelans eating out of the trash to prove people were living a humanitarian crisis. Ramos is arguably the best-known journalist in the Spanish-speaking world. He has gained particular notoriety for regularly locking horns with Donald Trump, who had him ejected from a press conference while on the campaign trail in 2015. The have since sparred over the US president’s proposed border wall among other contentious issues.)

— Candidate endorsements: What Democrat newspapers do – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com


(THE ARTICLE: To justify their endorsement of Democrat candidates, Democrat newspapers:

 

— Paint Republican candidates as being Trump-like, for example, they bristle, they get riled up, they are shortsighted, they argue an obscure point well past the point of usefulness, and they are combative;

 

— Downplay if not ignore strengths that Republican candidates have;

 

— Highlight if not stress weaknesses that Republican candidates have, for example, they have lost elections;

 

— Downplay if not ignore weaknesses that Democrat candidates have;

 

— Highlight if not stress strengths that Democrat candidates have, for example, they are unflappable, they get along;

 

— If a Republican candidate is White, male, and/or older, highlight that if not stress that;

 

— If a Democrat candidate is minority, female, and/or younger, highlight that if not stress that;

 

— If a Democrat candidate is White, male, and/or older, downplay if not ignore that; and

 

— If a Republican candidate is minority, female, and/or younger, downplay if not ignore that.)

— Income inequality is rising so fast that economic data can’t keep up – Christopher Ingraham
https://www.chicagotribune.com/business/national/ct-biz-income-inequality-economics-20190221-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Nevertheless, the available data paints a clear picture of broadening disparities between top earners and everyone else. Adjusted for inflation, wages for the top 5 percent of earners rose from $50.46 an hour in 2000 to $63.10 in 2018, an increase of 25 percent. The median worker’s hourly wage, meanwhile, rose by 7 percent over that period, to $18.80. The divide was particularly stark among men: The wages of the top 5 percent of male workers rose by 42 percent from 2000 to 2018, while those of the median male worker rose by 0.8 percent. One way to capture that dispersion is to look at the ratio between wages at the top and wages at the middle. In 2000, for instance, the top 5 percent of workers earned 2.87 times as much, per hour, as the typical, or median, worker. By 2018, that ratio had increase to 3.36. Among men only, the ratio between the top 5 percent and the median increased from 2.83 to 3.98. However, there was little change in wage variation at the bottom of the distribution: The median worker earned roughly twice as much as the bottom 10 percent of workers in 2000 and 2018, among all workers and among men only.)

Employers are extremely reluctant to hire, to retain, or to promote those who are draft bait. I graduated from NIU in August of 1970. During 1970 and 1971, potential employers did not believe that my application for a financial hardship draft deferment to help support my mother and brother would be approved. Consequently, in August of 1970, I took the only job that was offered me, a job that did not really require a college degree.)

All during those almost 18 years, they hinted/implied/argued/shouted a) that I caused everything that went wrong in the office, b) that the job I had should have been held by a Democrat, a minority, a female, someone younger than me, and/or a veteran, c) that I was a draft dodger, d) that the master’s degrees that I earned in 1980 and 1997, the professional certifications that I earned in 1981, 1990, 1994, 1996, and 1997, and professional license that I earned in 1981 were not job-related, were worthless, and were a distraction, d) that GAO should not have promoted me in 1986, that GAO should not have hired me in 1980, that IRS should not have promoted me in 1974, 1973, or 1972, and that IRS should not have hired me in 1971, e) that what I learned working for IRS 1971-1980, the last 5 1/2 years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 levels (currently $81,071-$91,880/year) was worthless, f) etc.)

Donnelly (DIERSEN: I worked for GAO almost 18 years, the last 11 years of which at the GS-13 Step 1-10 levels, currently $96,403-$125,325.

But there’s another, less heralded category of information that feeds journalism: the government institutions that provide Americans with non-partisan, objective data — places like the Government Accountability Office, the Congressional Research Service, the Congressional Budget Office and the inspectors general.)

SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE
— California Republicans hope their next leader can make them relevant again – Joe Garofoli (DIERSEN: What percent a) of California voters and b) of Illinois voters are anti-Trump, anti-Protestant, anti-conservative, anti-patriotic, anti-Republican, anti-American, anti-White, anti-male, anti-older people, anti-rich people, anti-gun owners, anti-draft avoiders, anti-German Americans, and/or anti-those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time?)
https://www.sfchronicle.com/politics/article/California-Republicans-hope-their-next-leader-can-13634407.php
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The California Republican Party has never been less relevant. It has no statewide elected officials. It’s a super-minority in the Legislature. Only 1 in 4 registered voters belongs to it. And the state’s entire GOP House delegation can fit in a minivan. Yet the three people vying to be state party chair this weekend at the GOP’s convention in Sacramento aren’t calling for wholesale changes. Far from it. They don’t think the party needs a new approach to immigration or climate change, issues where polls say the GOP is out of step with California voters. Nor should it back away from President Trump — even though 62 percent of likely California voters polled in January said they disapproved of his job performance. “It’s a great day in America: Donald Trump is president,” would-be party chair Steve Frank said on my “It’s All Political” podcast, repeating the line he uses during his frequent appearances on conservative talk radio shows across the state. Neither of his opponents would disagree. Absent any policy differences, the main distinction between the candidates is a battle over whether the problem is, in fact, what’s left of the California Republican Party’s establishment. The 1,400 delegates meeting this weekend will choose between Frank, whose roots in the California Republican Party go back to Ronald Reagan’s first term … as governor; Travis Allen, who ran for governor last year and thought the Republican opponent backed by Trump, John Cox, was too liberal; and Jessica Millan Patterson, a longtime party operative unknown to the public but the favorite of the GOP’s withered establishment.)
