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.)

DAILY CALLER
— THE LIBERAL JIHAD AGAINST TUCKER CARLSON – Derek Hunter
https://dailycaller.com/2019/03/12/liberal-mob-tucker-carlson-reaction-podcast/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: On the show today we get into the latest attempt by the progressive Gestapo to destroy someone who refuses to live on their thought plantation and how Tucker Carlson is standing up to the liberal mob. Plus, we discuss how more than 2,000 illegal aliens are reportedly quarantined due to communicable diseases and how the Democratic primary is embracing the concept of reparations for slavery, which could be the dumbest idea in a party of dumb ideas. Leftists have set their sights on Tucker Carlson this week, pretending to be outraged about wise-cracking jokes told on a radio show more than a decade ago. The progressive purity Gestapo demands absolute obedience, anything short of that must be destroyed. Tucker, to his credit, refused to cave and is standing strong, refusing to apologize for jokes dating back to 2006. Still, this Jihad continues and is being perpetrated not just by activists but by journalists as well. Maybe it’s time to hold liberals to their own standards? Maybe, until leftists start to live by the rules they set for others, conservatives hold them to their rules and institute an advertising boycott too? Human decency is too much to expect, maybe it’s time for some of their own medicine? Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is currently holding more than 2,000 illegal aliens in quarantine because there is reportedly an outbreak among the illegals of contagious diseases that have largely been eradicated in the U.S. This news is odd considering how liberals attacked Laura Ingraham a few months ago for saying this very same thing, now liberal outlets have been forced to report it because the problem has grown beyond their ability to ignore it. Democrats are starting to rush toward the idea of reparations for slavery. Out of ideas the American people support, pandering is all the rage on the left and there is no greater pander than the idea of big government checks for free. The party is now supporting the concept of taking money from people who’ve done nothing wrong and giving it to people who haven’t been wronged because people were wronged more than 150 years ago.)

I should write a book about Diersen-haters who demonize me, who denigrate me, and who condemn me a) because I am not a member of any church, b) because I do not attend church services, c) because I do not give money to a church, and d) because I put GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails together and send them out Sundays mornings instead of attending church services. In the book, I would focus on Diersen-haters, their operatives, and their dupes in Wheaton, in Glen Ellyn, in Milton Township, in DuPage County, and in Illinois. They blame me and my GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails for their problems, for your problems, for my problems, for everyone’s problems, and for all the losses that Republican candidates have suffered in Illinois since 2000.
http://www.wlsam.com/news/pete-buttigieg-calls-vice-president-pence-a-cheerleader-for-the-porn-star-presidency/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg lambasted Mike Pence — a man he used to work directly with during Pence’s time as governor of Indiana — calling the vice president a “cheerleader for the porn star presidency” on Sunday at CNN’s town hall. Buttigieg went on to question Pence’s faith, asking rhetorically whether Pence stopped “believing in scripture when he started believing Donald Trump.” “How would he allow himself to become the cheerleader for the porn star presidency? Is it that he stopped believing in scripture when he started believing Donald Trump?” Buttigieg said. “I don’t know. I don’t know.”)

In 1997, I had worked for GAO for almost 18 years and for IRS for almost 9 years before that. 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.)

— Here’s how to help people who have kids and aren’t rich run for Congress Candidates have to quit their jobs to campaign. This bill would provide a small financial cushion. – Nicholas Carnes (DIERSEN: What are you? I am a retired federal employee. What were you? I was a GAO Analyst for almost 18 years, the last 11 years of which at the GS-13 Step 1-10 levels, currently $96,403-$125,325. 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 $81,071-$91,880. I passed the CPA examination and Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt.)
https://www.washingtonpost.com/outlook/2019/03/07/heres-how-help-people-who-have-kids-arent-rich-run-congress/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Name someone in Congress who used to be a hotel housekeeper. Or a factory worker. Or a fast-food worker. Or an ironworker, receptionist or Walmart cashier. If examples aren’t coming to mind, there’s a good reason. People from working-class occupations — manual labor, service industry work, clerical jobs — seldom go on to hold elected political office in the United States. Working-class jobs make up more than half of the U.S. labor force. But according to my research, in most years since the start of the 20th century, there haven’t been more than a dozen members of Congress with significant experience doing the kinds of jobs most Americans punch in for every day. (The figures are probably similar for the 19th century, but the data is less reliable.) When the New York Times recently took stock of the career backgrounds of members of the 116th House, the newspaper identified a few “narrow but well-trodden paths through prestigious schools, lucrative jobs and local political offices.” The analysis found 12 Democrats and four Republicans who had ever held working-class jobs. In short, white-collar government is an enduring, and bipartisan, feature of U.S. politics.)

DAILY HERALD
— Former DuPage GOP chairwoman remembered as ‘trailblazer’ – Katlyn Smith
https://www.dailyherald.com/news/20190306/former-dupage-gop-chairwoman-remembered-as-trailblazer
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Longtime DuPage County Republican Chairwoman Barbara Murphy may not have considered herself a trailblazer, even if her contemporaries did. Her obituary notes Murphy always gave credit to former state Senate President James “Pate” Philip for “including her as the only woman in the proverbial ‘all male smoke filled’ meetings.” But it also was Murphy’s sharp and highly regarded political mind that propelled her to the top of the male-dominated party leadership in DuPage. Long before the blue wave loosened the party’s grip, DuPage was one of the most reliably Republican strongholds in the country when Murphy was a prominent GOP operative in the 1990s. “But Barbara never blew her own horn,” said Pat Durante, the former Addison Township GOP chairman. “She did her job. She knew that what she would do was good for the party. She wasn’t one to pound her chest. That wasn’t Barbara Murphy.” . . “Barb always seemed to be everywhere,” former DuPage County Board Chairman Robert Schillerstrom said. “When you were either running for office or held office or interested in politics or part of the Republican Party, you knew of and hopefully knew Barb because she was a leader.” Schillerstrom called Murphy a “good listener” who made herself available. But she also was forceful in swaying GOP organizers to her point of view. “Barbara would let you know what she needed, what she wanted, what she expected of you,” Durante said. “She was very outspoken and the beauty of Barbara — when Barbara would say something, people would listen and she motivated people.” Durante relied on Murphy to help him start the Addison Township’s Republican Women’s Club. She was “the go-to person” for providing trusted advice to encourage women to get involved in politics. “I don’t know a statewide candidate that came to DuPage County that didn’t take five minutes to call or meet with Barbara,” Durante said. “If you were running statewide and you came to DuPage, one of the people you wanted to visit with was Barbara Murphy.” She played an instrumental role in Mary Jo Arndt’s election as Republican National Committeewoman, Durante said. And she ran DuPage County’s Lincoln Day dinners with an “iron hand.” “God help that person who would get in her way,” Durante said. “She was a tiger.”)

— Barbara Murphy DECEMBER 24, 1937 ~ MARCH 3, 2019 (AGE 81)
https://www.leonardmemorialhome.com/notices/Barbara-Murphy
(FROM THE POSTING: Barbara A Murphy, a resident of Glen Ellyn since 1962, passed away Sunday March 3rd. Barbara was the longest serving DuPage County Republican Chairwoman. She was dedicated to good government and the Republican Party. She began her career as a volunteer for Richard Nixon’s campaign in California in 1960. She was the first woman to be elected as a Milton Township Trustee and the first woman to be elected as Chairman of the Milton Township Republican Central Committee’s organization. Barbara served under Secretaries of State George Ryan and later, Jesse White as a member of the Illinois Motor Vehicle Review Board. By the appointment of Governor Jim Edgar, she served for 5 years on the Illinois Toll Highway Advisory Board. Barbara was a State Central Committeewoman for the 6th Congressional District in the 1980’s. Concurrently she was on the Board of DuPage Civic Center Authority and the DuPage County Domestic Violence Task Force. She always credited Chairman James ‘Pate’ Philip for including her as the only woman in the proverbial “all male smoke filled” meetings. Just as the Republican National Conventions were the highlight of her political career, her satisfaction in mentoring a person who wanted to become involved in the political system was her greatest Fulfillment. Barbara was a strong believer in inclusiveness and loyalty. Barbara was a member of the Inland Western Retail Sales Trust Board. She was a founding member of “The Friends of Family Shelter.” And a former co-owner of the “Daffy Down Dilly” gift shop. Growing up in Connecticut, Barbara attended Greenwich Academy and Skidmore College. She is survived by her sons, David (Patti), Jeffrey (Kim), Brooks (Amy), Bradley (Bridget), nine grandchildren and five great-grandchildren. Arrangement details coming soon.)

They hint/imply/argue/shout that if they were me, they would still be the TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois chairman, a Wheaton Chamber of Commerce Government Affairs Committee member, the Milton Township Republican Central Committee webmaster, an Illinois Center Right Coalition Steering Committee member, an American Association of Political Consultants Midwest Chapter board member, a GAO employee, etc.)
http://www.dailyjournal.net/2019/03/05/letter_dont_blame_conservatives_business_for_your_personal_failures/
(FROM THE LETTER: When our youth increasingly quit school, take drugs, commit a felony or produce a child, often prior to their first job interview, they trigger a death spiral from which most never recover. That, Mr. Smith, is why so many Americans are living a nightmare of declining quality of life. That is why the speed of an increasingly technical world frequently leaves them behind. I am always saddened when I see our youth willingly saddle themselves with these crippling obstructions to personal success. However that pales in comparison to the anger I feel for those who enable personal failure by assigning blame everywhere other than where it belongs. Life is the sum total of the individual choices we make — good and bad. Unfortunately, that means the real world is often a cruel and unfair place that is hardly ever welcoming of the unprepared. It does not mean it is the fault of conservatives or big business.)

— Google Finds Gender Bias Against Men, Really? – Kim Elsesser (DIERSEN: I should write a book about the tremendous pressure that Democrat politicians have put on schools, on employers, and on everyone and everything else a) to give preference to young Democrat minorities and b) to give preference to young Democrat females since the 1960s. Of course, giving preference to the aforesaid means discriminating against those who are Republican, White, male, and/or older.)

INSIDE HIGHER EDUCATION
— Major survey shows that professors worry about discrimination but aren’t prepared to deal with classroom conflicts over diversity. Other findings touch on mentoring, pay and politics. – Colleen Flaherty (DIERSEN: Political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination did not cause me that much stress in the classroom (IIT 1992-1997, DePaul 1976-1980, Loyola 1972-1980, NIU 1969-1970, and UIC 1966-1968), but it certainly caused me lots of stress in the workplace (GAO 1980-1997, IRS 1971-1980, and Post Office 1966-1969.)

GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— How can www.gopillinois.com get a better NewsGuard rating? Please consider NewsGuard’s rating criteria at https://www.newsguardtech.com/ratings/rating-process-criteria/ or below and email me at diersen@aol.com or phone me at 630-653-0462 with your suggestions. – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com
(FROM THE POSTING: RATING CRITERIA  Here are the nine criteria that NewsGuard uses to assess websites. Each criterion is worth a certain number of points out of 100, as indicated below. A site with a score of 60 points or higher receives a green rating. A site with a score lower than 60 points receives a red rating. In every case, the NewsGuard Nutrition Labels that are provided for each site (by clicking on the rating) spell out the site’s adherence to each of the nine criteria that yielded that source’s particular rating.

 

The criteria below are listed in order of their importance in determining a red rating. For example, failure to adhere to the first criteria—publishing false content—is more influential in determining a red rating than failure to reveal information about content creators.

 

Credibility

— Doesn’t repeatedly publish false content: In the last three years the site has not produced multiple stories that have been found—either by journalists at NewsGuard or elsewhere—to be clearly false, and which have not been quickly and prominently corrected. (22 Points. A label with a score lower than 60 points gets a red rating.)

 

— Gathers and presents information responsibly: Content on the site is created by reporters, writers, videographers, researchers, or other information providers who generally seek to be accurate and fair in gathering, reporting, and interpreting information, even if they approach their work from a strong point of view. They do this by referencing multiple sources, preferably those that present direct, first-hand information on a subject or event. (18 Points)

 

— Regularly corrects or clarifies errors: The site makes clear how to contact those in charge and has effective practices for publishing clarifications and corrections. (12.5 Points)

 

— Handles the difference between news and opinion responsibly: Content providers who convey the impression that they report news or a mix of news and opinion distinguish opinion from news reporting, and when reporting news, they do not regularly or egregiously misstate, distort, or cherry pick facts, or egregiously cherry pick stories, to advance opinions. Content providers whose clearly expressed purpose is to advance a particular point of view do not regularly and egregiously misstate or distort facts to make their case. (12.5 Points)

 

— Avoids deceptive headlines: The site generally does not publish headlines that include false information, significantly sensationalize, or otherwise do not reflect what is actually in the story. (10 Points)

 

Transparency


— Website discloses ownership and financing: The site discloses its ownership and/or financing, as well as any notable ideological or political positions held by those with a significant financial interest in the site, in a user-friendly manner. (7.5 Points)

 

— Clearly labels advertising: The site makes clear which content is paid for and which is not. (7.5 Points)

 

— Reveals who’s in charge: Information about those in charge of the content is made accessible on the site. (5 Points)

 

— The site provides the names of content creators, along with either contact information or biographical information: Information about those producing the content is made accessible on the site. (5 Points))
