— Internet age really DOES mean we get bored more easily and have shorter attention spans, study finds. Our need to keep up to date is beginning to overwhelm our brains, experts say. They studied data on social media posts, online searches, book and movie sales. People are made aware of something happening more rapidly and lose interest. The findings don’t necessarily mean our individual attention spans are shorter. – TIM COLLINS (DIERSEN: One of the many reasons why people read GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails is that virtually all the articles that are linked in the emails are less than 12 hours old.)

CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— Trump sanctuary city idea could help migrants stay in U.S. – AP (DIERSEN: Yes, but because illegals lack education, lack job skills, lack work experience, have serious financial problems, have serious health problems, and/or do not speak English, sanctuary cities might very well go bankrupt a) teaching their residents Spanish and b) providing illegals with housing, food, clothing, education, transportation, job skills, etc. before illegals become Democrat voters. Of course, sanctuary cites would have to require all their residents to speak, read, and write Spanish. Democrats in sanctuary cities want illegals to help Democrats get rid of Republicans once and for all. Will Democrats let Republicans stay in sanctuary cities a) if they give money to Democrats, b) if they learn to speak, read, and write Spanish, and/or b) if they give their jobs to illegals?)

— Remember Murietta? Dumping unvetted migrants into the cities of political foes was done by Obama first – Monica Showalter (DIERSEN: What municipality, township, and county do you live in? What would the elected officials in your municipality, in your township, and/or in your county say if they were asked if they would allow your municipality, your township, and/or your county to accept illegals, and if so how many? FIRST, ELECTED OFFICIALS OF MUNICIPALITIES, TOWNSHIPS, AND COUNTIES HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO RIGHT TO ALLOW THEIR MUNICIPALITIES, TOWNSHIPS, OR COUNTIES TO ACCEPT ILLEGALS. I would sue any Wheaton, Milton Township, and/or DuPage County elected official who voted for Wheaton, Milton Township, and/or DuPage County to accept illegals. Of course, Democrats and Democrat plants, Libertarians and Libertarian plants, Greens and Green plants, and RINOs on city councils like Wheaton, township boards like Milton, and on county boards like DuPage have every right to try and get referendums passed to accept illegals.) 
https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2019/04/remember_murietta_dumping_unvetted_migrants_into_the_cities_of_political_foes_was_done_by_obama_first.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Back in 2014, when the migrant surge of that year brought tens of thousands of “unaccompanied children” and “moms and kids,” into the Rio Grande Valley, overwhelming the Texas processing facilities, President Obama inexplicably targeted small and mid-sized cities (same as the Trump officials’ emails) as their next destination of choice. And instead of talking about it, they really did try to bus the unvetted migrants into small cities such as Murietta, California; Yuma, Arizona; and a conservative area of New Mexico, bringing crime, disease, and a high need for social services, without consulting those communities. The residents protested, and the Obama administration declared them ‘racist’ in a bid to scare them into line. I was on the ground at Murietta during those protests when I was an editorial writer at Investor’s Business Daily, and I spoke to the citizens of that city, who were not only far from racist, but actually multiracial themselves. They told me this: Asked why the rebellion was centered in Murrieta and not elsewhere, the residents all had one answer: they were Reagan Country, and it was on their soil that the Reagan revolution was lit in 1978.)

I failed/refused to help my superiors get rid of their employees because they were Republican, White, male, and/or non-veteran and had not made 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://japantoday.com/category/national/retiring-late-as-pensions-underwhelm-more-japanese-opt-to-prolong-employment

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Yasuhiro Furuse could have retired two years ago, but he wasn’t entirely happy with his pension income and had to put any such thoughts to bed. It was just as well for Furuse’s employer Orix Corp, a financial services group, which would have struggled to find a replacement, with Japan’s jobless rate at 26-year lows. This win-win arrangement, increasingly common in Japan, highlights a structural and policy challenge facing the world’s third-biggest economy. Prime Minister Shinzo Abe’s government is considering raising the retirement age to 70 or 75 from 65 now, to ease pension burdens as well as a labor crunch. But a more durable longer term solution, analysts say, is for Japan to relax its strict controls on foreign workers. “I have no choice but to work,” said Furuse, 62, a senior adviser at Orix’s corporate business headquarters. “I appreciate that I could keep working, which makes me better off than living on pension and savings. Besides, I want to do something to contribute to society.” Japan’s population is among the oldest on the planet and has one of the longest lifespans, putting pressure on its pension system. The old-age dependency ratio — or the numbers of elderly against those of working age — is the highest in the OECD. The situation is being compounded by Japan’s deep-seated reluctance to fully open its gates to foreign workers, leaving many companies to rely on the old guard to overcome severe labour shortages.)

But when a moderate, probusiness Democrat faces a serious challenge from the far left, Griffin is known to throw a (gilded) bone across the aisle. . .Top Political Beneficiaries 1. Bruce Rauner (Republican) $36 million FOR:2014 (won) and 2018 (lost) gubernatorial campaigns 2. Jim Durkin (Republican) $11 million FOR:2016 (won, unopposed) and 2018 (won) Illinois House races 3. Leslie Munger (Republican) $5 million FOR:2014 Illinois House (lost) and 2016 state comptroller (lost) races 4. Bill Daley (Democrat) $2 million FOR:2019 mayoral run (lost) 5. Bill Brady (Republican) $1.7 million FOR:2010 gubernatorial (lost) and 2018 Illinois Senate (won, unopposed) runs 6.

https://mynorthwest.com/1334678/dori-bill-and-melinda-gates-poll/?
(FROM THE ARTICLE: According to the poll, 53 percent of people the PR firm talked to said that we are not spending enough on homelessness “when they learned that homelessness increased by nine percent [sic] between 2014-17, while spending on social services had only increased by 2.4 percent.” That is the purest definition of a push-poll question — where you phrase a question a certain way to get a desired result. And they only got it barely above 50 percent even with that biased phrasing. What the question doesn’t tell you is that the reason homelessness has increased by 10 percent is because people have moved from all over this country, because they’ve heard this is the best region in America to be an addict.)

http://www.wlsam.com/2019/04/11/gop-teacher-pay-hike-property-tax-hike/
— Some Georgetown students want to pay reparations to the descendants of the slaves who made the school possible (DIERSEN: Ever-increasingly, Democrats hint/imply/argue/shout that the longer that your ancestors have been in America, the more that you should pay in reparations, and especially if you are a Trump supporter, Protestant, conservative, patriotic, Republican, American, White, male, older, non-poor, gun owner, German American, and/or a draft avoider. How much in reparations will the Democrats want you to pay?)
http://www.wlsam.com/news/some-georgetown-students-want-to-pay-reparations-to-the-descendants-of-the-slaves-who-made-the-school-possible/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A group known as the GU272 Advocacy Team has pushed through student government a bill that would create a new $27.20 fee every semester for all Georgetown undergraduates. The fee would go toward a reconciliation fund, which would be overseen by a board of students and descendants of the 272 slaves sold in 1838. They estimate the fund would generate more than $400,000 a year and would “be allocated for charitable purposes directly benefiting the descendants of the GU272 and other persons once enslaved by the Maryland Jesuits,” according to the bill.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: As Illinois seems to creep toward full legalization of marijuana, it might be useful to consider some of the experiences of states where it already has been legalized. Washington and Colorado legalized recreational use in 2012. Oregon followed suit in 2014. A marketing firm, DHM Research, surveyed users in those three states. The results were reported in a national story, which ran earlier in The Daily Journal. Here’s what to expect: • If marijuana is legalized, use will increase. Those who use will up their consumption, in some cases moving from weekend recreation to every day. Some 44 percent of the legal consumers will use marijuana every day. • It is a male thing. Sixty percent of the users are men. If you have concerns about the growing inequity of men moving on to and graduating from college, this might give you pause. • Finally, and most disturbing, about one in every four users will go to work high or get high at work. We only can hope these people are not driving trucks, flying airplanes or designing bridges. There is a solid social trend toward legalization. Historically, society rotates those social ills it forgives and those it punishes severely. States, too, greedily eye the taxes they might collect to feed their bureaucracies. As we legalize, we also must regulate with common sense. There might be, perhaps, no penalty at all for smoking marijuana in your home. Yet if you choose to, say, jeopardize someone else’s life by being irresponsible, jail time would be more than appropriate.)

PJ MEDIA
— Why Are 2020 Democrats Embracing Slavery Reparations? – MATT MARGOLIS (DIERSEN: The Democrats who run the federal government use Affirmative Action (AA), Diversity, Inclusion, up-or-out, early retirement, etc. to get rid of their employees who are Republican, White, male, and/or non-veteran who they did not promote 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 (SES) (currently $165,500) by age 40. AA is reparations. Who has paid the price of AA? Few, if any, of my critics/opponents, their operative, or their dupes have paid the price of AA in any significant way. If I had been a minority or a female, the federal government would have promoted me into its SES long before I was 40 years old. However, because I am White, male, non-veteran, someone who complained about political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination, and someone who became an active member in a class action lawsuit that charged them with reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation, they took many adverse actions against me including forcing me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years old.) 
https://pjmedia.com/trending/why-are-2020-democrats-embracing-slavery-reparations/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Spoiler alert, Senator Booker: It won’t solve any problems. It won’t satisfy anyone. What exactly do proponents of slavery reparations believe that they will do that affirmative action policies in education, employment, awarding of government contracts, etc., etc. couldn’t? If the election of Barack Obama to the highest office in the land (despite his radicalism and lack of qualifications) wasn’t proof that we, as a nation, have moved far beyond the days of slavery, then what will? A check? For how much? Will we finally be able to put an end to affirmative action policies? Of course not, that’s not the point.)

AMERICAN THINKER
— Immigration as Economic Warfare – Joshua Foxworth (DIERSEN: What protected groups are you a member of? Constructively, if not officially, members of the following groups are NOT PROTECTED: Trump supporters, Protestant, conservative, patriotic, Republican, American, White, male, older people, rich people, gun owners, German Americans, draft avoiders, and those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time. Constructively, if not officially, members of the following groups ARE PROTECTED: 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-German Americans, anti-draft avoiders, and anti-those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time.)
https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2019/04/immigration_as_economic_warfare.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The first aspect of this warfare is simple. The government institutes programs that give special privileges to one group of people in the form of educational access and benefits, exclusive contracts with the government, quotas within the job market, and legal protections that are exclusive to those people. While many of these benefits are subtle, on multigenerational timelines they effectively destroy the unprotected group while ensuring the success of the protected group. In addition to this, there is the selective enforcement of laws and the absolution of some groups from many laws. However, the more important aspect of this warfare is the collusion of immigrants to exclude portions of the native population from the economy. This activity has two facets — exclusion from the market and denial of service.)

During the 1840s and 1850s, all my ancestors immigrated to northeast Illinois from what is now Germany. Of course, needless-to-say, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have always used that against me. In my defense, I stress that my grandfather on my father’s side fought the Germans during WWI, that my uncles on my mother’s side fought the Germans during WWII, and that my father would have fought the Germans during WWII if he had not been 4-F. Further, according to http://dna.ancestry.com, my ancestry is 33% Europe West, 28% Scandinavia, 24% Great Britain, 11% Ireland, 2% Europe East, 1% Finland/Northwest Russia, and 1% Italy/Greece.

The following urged voters in my precinct to vote for the Democrat Prendiville: Daily Herald, former Wheaton Mayors Gwen Henry and Jim Carr, current and former Wheaton City Council members Todd Scalzo, John Rutledge, Liz Corry, Howard Levine, Alan Bolds, and Thor Saline, District 200 Board President Brad Paulsen, Board members Jim Vroman, Ginna Ericksen, Jim Gambaiani, Jim Mathieson, and Chris Crabtree, and Park District Board members Ray Morrill, Jane Hodgkinson, and Terry Mee.)
