— Some Ideas to Think About – Walter E. Williams (DIERSEN: What did you do to avoid poverty? 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.)
http://www.gopusa.com/?p=51479
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Poverty is no mystery, and it’s easily avoidable. The poverty line that the Census Bureau used in 2016 for a single person was an income of $12,486 that year. For a two-person household, it was $16,072, and for a four-person household, it was $24,755. To beat those poverty thresholds is fairly simple. Here’s the road map: Complete high school; get a job, any kind of a job; get married before having children; and be a law-abiding citizen. How about some numbers? A single person taking a minimum wage job would earn an annual income of $15,080. A married couple would earn $30,160. By the way, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, less than 4 percent of hourly workers in 2016 were paid the minimum wage. That means that over 96 percent of workers earned more than the minimum wage. Not surprising is the fact that among both black and white married couples, the poverty rate is in the single digits. Most poverty is in female-headed households.)

Jimenez serving out term, takes hospital marketing job – Bernard Schoenburg (DIERSEN: The Democrats who ran GAO during the 1990s should have let me serve out my term, that is, they should have let me work at least until I was 55 in 2003 and eligible for regular retirement. Instead, they forced me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years old. My Democrat GAO superiors wasted the work experience that I had gained a) working for GAO for almost 18 years, the last 11 years of which at the GS-13 Step 1-10 levels, currently $96,403-$125,325, b) earning job-related master’s degrees in 1997, 1980, and 1976, c) passing the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981, d) working for IRS 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, e) passing the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, and f) serving in the Executive Committee of the Chicago Chapter of the Association of Government Accountants 1983-1996. Independent organizations recognized the value of my work experience when they approved my applications to be a Forensic Accountant in 1997, Certified Financial Services Auditor in 1996, Certified Government Financial Manager in 1994, Certified Fraud Examiner in 1990, and licensed CPA in 1981.)

— GAO: More Taxpayers Will Owe The IRS In April Due To Under-Withholding – SCOTT NEUMAN (DIERSEN: Roskam should increase the $10,000 SALT cap to $20,000 for married filing jointly. I should write a book about those who have done the most to waste my knowledge of IRS. I worked for IRS for almost 9 years, the last 5 1/2 years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 levels, currently $81,070-$91,880. I worked for GAO on audits of IRS for 3 years at the GS-13 Step 1-3 levels, currently $96,403-$102,830.)
https://www.npr.org/2018/08/01/634474267/more-taxpayers-will-owe-the-irs-in-april-due-to-under-withholding-report-says
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Based on simulations run by the Treasury Department, the GAO says taxes for 30 million Americans — 21 percent of taxpayers — are being under-withheld by their employers, meaning they are getting a larger check this year, but will owe at tax time in April. . .Who should be concerned? According to the GAO, a hypothetical taxpayer who is married with two children, earning $180,000 annually, $20,000 of which comes from non-wage income and who itemizes deductions.)

ROBERT FEDER
— DIERSEN HEADLINE: Critics/opponents of Charles Thomas hint/imply that he suddenly quit Maze Jackson’s morning show on WVON 1690-AM because Politico Illinois Playbook reported on connections between Jackson and a political consultant working for the reelection campaign of Governor Bruce Rauner.
https://www.robertfeder.com/2018/07/31/charles-thomas-quits-wvon-morning-show-im-getting-life-back/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Thomas, who joined WVON in April 2017 after he retired as political reporter from ABC-owned WLS-Channel 7, cited the difficult hours of morning drive for suddenly walking away from the 6 to 9 a.m. weekday gig. He would not comment on the Politico story or say whether it figured into his decision to leave. “I’m getting my life back,” he told me Monday. “When I retired [from ABC 7], I did not envision getting up at 3 o’clock in the morning every day and then having to go to bed every night at 7 or 8 o’clock. So it’s a good thing for me.”)

 

ILLINOIS POLICY INSTITUTE
— RETIRED KANE COUNTY WATER DISTRICT EMPLOYEE HAS BANKED $3.5M IN PENSION PAYMENTS – Joe Kaiser (DIERSEN: If I sought a government office or a political office, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and dupes would stress a) that in today’s dollars, the Civil Service Retirement System (CSRS) has paid me $1,084,822 ($4,322 X 251 months) and b) that I contributed to the CSRS only $70,932 in 1966-1997 dollars. Beyond hypocritically, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and dupes side with my Democrat GAO superiors who forced me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years old.)
https://www.illinoispolicy.org/retired-kane-county-water-district-employee-has-banked-3-5m-in-pension-payments/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Pagorski’s current annual pension benefit is nearly $211,000, despite having only contributed $93,900 to his retirement during his 40 years of work, according to documents from the Illinois Municipal Retirement Fund, or IMRF. His is not the only expensive government worker retirement straining Kane County taxpayers. As many as 38 other local government pensioners in Kane County enrolled in IMRF are receiving six-figure annual payouts. One of those pensioners, Gregory Hergenroeder, was also a 40-year FRWRD worker and has already accumulated $2.1 million in just 12 years of retirement.)

But nobody should expect him, or anyone, to be local media’s superhero. – Kim Bellware (DIERSEN: Who will be the next GOPUSA Illinois Editor? My critics/opponents have made it extremely clear that want the GOPUSA Illinois Editor position to be VACANT FOREVER. But failing that, the want the next GOPUSA Illinois Editor to be someone who they can manipulate/dominate.

Because they cannot manipulate or dominate me, my critics/opponents do everything that they can a) to stop me from putting GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails together and sending them out and b) to stop everyone from reading those emails.

https://www.nytimes.com/2018/07/31/us/politics/facebook-political-campaign-midterms.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Facebook said on Tuesday that it had identified a political influence campaign that was potentially built to disrupt the midterm elections, with the company detecting and removing 32 pages and fake accounts that had engaged in activity around divisive social issues. The company did not definitively link the campaign to Russia. But Facebook officials said some of the tools and techniques used by the accounts were similar to those used by the Internet Research Agency, the Kremlin-linked group that was at the center of an indictment this year alleging interference in the 2016 presidential election.)

CRAIN’S CHICAGO BUSINESS
— Is metro Chicago gaining or losing jobs? Yes. – GREG HINZ (DIERSEN: From what I see, the more of the following that you are, the less likely that Chicago employers will hire you, retain you, or promote you: Trump supporter, Protestant, conservative, patriotic, Republican, American, White, male, older, rich, gun owner, German American, draft avoider, and/or if your ancestors have been in America for a long time.)

Since 1966, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have hinted/implied/argued/shouted that I had an unfair advantage in life because I graduated from Crete-Monee High School in 1966. One could ask my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes what percent of my classmates a) earned a bachelor’s degree, b) earned a master’s degree, c) earned a professional certification, and d) earned a professional license.)
http://www.chicagobusiness.com/article/20180727/ISSUE05/180729916
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The Metropolitan Planning Council ruffled some fur recently when it concluded in a report on census data that African-Americans are only partially sharing in downtown Chicago’s job boom. The council is right. Though one can argue that the glass is half full rather than half empty, fact is that in a time when overall downtown jobs grew 10 percent, the number held by blacks was up 2 percent. That’s certainly better than the 7.5 percent drop in Chicago’s black population in the same period, but not good enough. One obvious solution to that is better education. If young adults who now are trapped in declining neighborhoods get the right schooling and can tap into the right networks, they ought to be able to get more of these jobs. This is what was discouraging about another report that landed in my inbox a few days ago, concluding that Chicago public schools that are heavily black and Latino aren’t offering the same rich selection of college-prep courses as schools with more white students.)

The longer that you work for government, the lower the opinion that private sector employers have of you. I was a government employee for almost 30 years.

ASSOCIATED PRESS
— On retirement question, Justice Ginsburg has go-to answers (DIERSEN: I would have first been eligible for regular retirement in 2003 when I would have been 55 years old.)
https://apnews.com/eccb7230dc9245f79cda9cafed4ee080/On-retirement-question,-Justice-Ginsburg-has-go-to-answers
(FROM THE ARTICLE: For more than a decade, audiences and interviewers have had one pressing question for Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg: When will you retire? The question used to be whether the now 85-year-old liberal justice would let President Barack Obama choose her successor. Now it’s whether President Donald Trump might, giving conservatives an even stronger hold on the court. Ginsburg, the court’s oldest current member, has used a variety of practiced answers to the retirement question over the years. They all boil down to the same thing: She isn’t ready to go. On Sunday, Ginsburg reminded a New York audience that her former colleague Justice John Paul Stevens was 90 when he retired in 2010. “My senior colleague, Justice John Paul Stevens, he stepped down when he was 90, so think I have about at least five more years,” Ginsburg said, according to a CNN report.)

WASHINGTON POST
— White, and in the minority She speaks English. Her co-workers don’t. Inside a rural chicken plant, whites struggle to fit in. – Terrence McCoy (DIERSEN: How fast is your precinct, your municipality, your township/ward, and your county becoming 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/or anti-those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time?)
https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/local/wp/2018/07/30/feature/majority-minority-white-workers-at-this-pennsylvania-chicken-plant-now-struggle-to-fit-in/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: In a country where whites will lose majority status in about a quarter-century, and where research suggests that demographic anxiety is contributing to many of the social fissures polarizing the United States, from immigration policy to welfare reform to the election of President Trump, the story of the coming decades will be, to some degree, the story of how white people adapt to a changing country. It will be the story of people like Heaven Engle and Venson Heim, both of whom were beginning careers on the bottom rung of an industry remade by Latinos, whose population growth is fueling that of America, and were now, in unusually intense circumstances, coming to understand what it means to be outnumbered. They didn’t know the heavy burden of discrimination familiar to members of historically oppressed minority groups, including biased policing and unequal access to jobs and housing. But some of the everyday experiences that have long challenged millions of black, Latino and immigrant Americans — the struggle to understand and be understood, feeling unseen, fear of rapid judgments — were beginning to challenge them, too.)

VAUGHN LAW FIRM
— Constraining the Political Beliefs of Federal Government Employees (DIERSEN: Did any of your employers punish you for your political beliefs? My Democrat GAO superiors forced me to retire in 1997 when I was 49 years old, gave me unfair performance expectations and appraisals, always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes, did not promote me beyond GS-13, got rid of my mentor in 1987, kept me off audits of IRS for all but 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for GAO, and forced me to take an $19,203 pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980. My Democrat IRS superiors did not promote me beyond GS-12, disallowed my education deductions in 1978, got rid of my mentor in 1975, and disallowed my partial day per diem claims in 1974. My Democrat Post Office superiors forced me resign in 1969 and disallowed my sick leave requests in 1969 and 1968.)
https://thevaughnlawfirm.com/constraining-the-political-beliefs-of-federal-government-employees/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: If a federal government employee is fired and/or discriminated against because of their political beliefs, the action would arguably be in contradiction to the United States Constitution, particularly due to the fact that it would potentially violate free speech rights as well as the right to due process. Discrimination that is based on an employee’s political beliefs occurs when an employer makes job decisions regarding that employee because of their political beliefs, civic activities, or party affiliation. For instance, if an employer demotes anyone who refuses to vote for a certain political party or does not hire someone as a result of their stance on a particular issue, then that employer is likely engaged in political discrimination. While there are no specific laws that prohibit discrimination based on political views, federal government employees have constitutional protections that prohibit the abuse of government power. The First Amendment guarantees the right to free speech, and thus, it can protect an employee’s political views, but it is important to note that this protection is for government employees rather than those that work for private employers. Even if there is not a valid reason to raise a free speech argument, it is possible that political discrimination may be illegal on other grounds. For example, depending on the facts and circumstances of your case, the political discrimination might be considered illegal religious or race-based discrimination. An experienced and knowledgeable Federal Employment Law Attorney can review your case and determine whether you have a viable discrimination claim.)

NBC NEWS
— GOP volunteers hit streets to save House from ‘Blue Wave’ “You didn’t even see Republican signs because it was assumed that everyone was voting Republican,” a resident of Wheaton, Illinois, said. – Shaquille Brewster (DIERSEN: Includes 3-minute video.)
https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/congress/gop-volunteers-hit-streets-save-house-blue-wave-n895546
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Glen Ellyn, Ill. — Thousands of Republican volunteers were deployed this weekend in a “Super Saturday” push to protect their House majority — knocking on doors, handing out flyers, and calling voters. The Congressional Leadership Fund (CLF), a super PAC backed by House Speaker Paul Ryan, has been aggressive on television airwaves, but Saturday showcased their national field operation, making around 400,000 contacts with voters. . .NBC News followed a field team in Glen Ellyn, west of Chicago, Saturday afternoon. “We’re targeting local issues in local communities, it’s different in each congressional district,” Alexander said when asked about the message to voters. “Here in Illinois we’re talking about the Great Lakes, whereas in Washington we’re talking about Salmon hatcheries, and in Florida we’re talking about the Everglades.” CLF’s push is a sign of how seriously outside groups on both sides are taking the 2018 midterm battle. Volunteers in Illinois wore shirts with the words “Call. Knock. Win. Repeat!” on the back on Saturday. Buoyed by an energized democratic base, Democrats believe they are well positioned to flip the 23 legislative seats they need in order to snatch back control of the House. One of their top targets is Illinois sixth congressional district, home to Republican Rep. Peter Roskam. Roskam has been reelected by near 20-point margins in the past, but represents a suburban Chicago district that Hillary Clinton won by seven points. It’s a top target for national and state Democrats and CFL knows this, building a field office in a low-profile office building deep in the district. The room mirrors a typical campaign office, filled with GOP-themed posters, flyers advocating for the congressman, and a whiteboard listing weekly contact goals. Their aim: to keep Roskam’s Democratic challenger Sean Casten at a distance. “GDP! Good grief, it’s just amazing,” Susan Dahlstedt said to a group of CLF volunteers that knocked on her door in Wheaton, Illinois, referring to gross domestic product and strong economic numbers overall. The strong Trump supporter who suggested to the young group “he can keep his mouth shut sometimes” said she fears a democratic majority voting to impeach the president. “We’ve got to keep the house, it’s really essential,” Dahlstedt said soberly, promising to vote in November. A few blocks over, Michael Vassola saw the same volunteers walk past his house. It’s a Republican effort he says he’s never seen before in his neighborhood. “This is very much a staunchly Republican place,” he said. “You didn’t even see Republican signs because it was assumed that everyone was voting Republican.” But Vassola added: “I’ve lived in this neighborhood for a while and I’m seeing more and more Sean Casten signs — including in the one in front of my house.”)

CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— DIERSEN HEADLINE: Citizens of Mexico and of other Spanish-speaking countries crow over their success in conquering America. Soon, if not already, it will be all but impossible for citizens of America to get an education, to get a job, to get elected, to etc. unless they a) speak, read, and write Spanish and b) serve as operatives or as dupes for Mexico and for other Spanish-speaking countries and their citizens. There are tremendous conflicts between the values of citizens of foreign countries and the values of Americans. Democrats side with foreign countries and with their citizens against America and against its citizens. Democrats make it clear to illegals that Democrats use government to give preference to illegals, and especially to those who are minority, female, and/or younger. Democrats shout at foreign countries and at their citizens that Republicans are White supremacists, Nazis, KKK members, haters, racists, sexists, bigots, and even worse things who should be gotten rid of. Constructively, Democrats have declared war on Republicans. Democrats count on foreign countries and their citizens to get rid of Republicans once and for all.)

http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/nationworld/politics/ct-mcc-trump-loyalists-appointed-20180728-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: In a statement to The Post, Menendez condemned the administration’s “practice of replacing seasoned professional and programmatic experts with patronage hires.” He said that “blind loyalty seemingly trumps qualifications, experience and career public servants.” “Congress gave MCC special hiring authority so that it could operate with efficiency and effectiveness, not so that it could become a dumping ground for unqualified partisan loyalists and lackeys,” Menendez wrote. A Republican Foreign Relations Committee aide speaking on the condition of anonymity offered a more upbeat assessment. “We were happy to work with our Democratic counterparts in resolving questions about hiring at MCC as we do regularly in exercising the committee’s oversight function,” the aide said. “Such oversight is important for all agencies under the committee’s jurisdiction, and we will continue working in a bipartisan manner moving forward.”)
— No longer lonely on the bench, Latino judges in Illinois form an association – Mary Schmich (DIERSEN: From what I see, beyond outrageously, and beyond unacceptably, those in Illinois like me who are Republican Precinct Committeemen/Captains to help elect candidates who can and will defend and advance the Illinois Republican Party (IRP) platform are a minority and are very lonely. Should I form an “Illinois Republican Precinct Committeemen/Captains Association” with a structure similar to the “Illinois Republican County Chairmen’s Association?” Membership would be open only to those Republican Precinct Committeemen/Captains in Illinois who have demonstrated that they help elect candidates who can and will defend and advance the IRP platform and are NOT a) Democrat plants, b) Libertarian plants, c) green plants, or d) RINOs.)

NURSE
— New York To Pay Nurses $20 Million In Gender Bias Settlement – Chaunie Brusie (DIERSEN: BECAUSE OF EEOC, I became a federal employee. In 1971, when I was 22 years old, I accepted IRS’s job offer BECAUSE OLDSMOBILE WITHDREW A JOB OFFER THAT I HAD ACCEPTED SAYING THAT IT HAD JUST AGREED TO STOP HIRING WHITES TO SETTLE AN EEOC COMPLAINT.)
https://nurse.org/articles/new-york-city-pays-settlement-to-nurses-lawsuit/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Now, however, New York City is paying out $20.6 million dollars thanks to a class-action lawsuit with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) that ultimately found that the pension plan was gender discriminatory towards male-oriented professions, leaving out nursing because it has traditionally been a female-majority led form of work. The EEOC determined that nursing requires a high threshold for physical requirements, with injury rates, illness and physical strain in general being one of the highest of any profession.)

https://www.warner.senate.gov/public/index.cfm/2018/7/on-senate-floor-sen-warner-speaks-out-for-the-federal-workforce
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Today, U.S. Sen. Mark R. Warner (D-VA), Vice Chairman of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, spoke on the floor of the U.S. Senate in support of the federal workforce, which has been subjected to unprecedented attacks under the Trump Administration. “The way our federal government treats its workforce, the way we manage and invest in the human capital of our federal government is not some kind of parochial issue. This is an issue that impacts all American who pay their taxes, follow the laws, and expect their federal government to work for them, and to work well,” Sen. Warner said on the Senate floor. “That’s why, Mr. President, I also rise with great concern about the recent efforts by this Administration to scapegoat and undermine the work of our public servants. It started with the hiring freezes that threw a wrench into the day-to-day operations of nearly every federal agency — with no apparent benefit to the taxpayers. It continued with executive orders undermining workplace protections for federal workers and their ability to organize as part of a union. And it culminated last month, with the Trump Administration’s plan to freeze federal employee pay and cut retirement benefits for 2.6 million federal retirees and survivors. This is the thanks our federal employees get for their service!” On May 4, OPM Director Jeff Pon outlined an Administration plan to freeze federal employee pay and cut retirement benefits for 2.6 million federal retirees and survivors. On May 25, President Trump signed three Executive Orders that would roll back protections for our federal workforce by making it easier to fire federal employees, restricting time employees can be compensated for union work and directing agencies to negotiate tougher union contracts. Today is the first day of oral arguments in a lawsuit, filed in U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, challenging the executive orders.)

CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— Illinois Tollway boss Liz Gorman alleges threats from board member Joseph Gomez – Mary Wisniewski
http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/ct-biz-tollway-board-threats-20180726-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The usually sedate Illinois Tollway board’s monthly meeting erupted in controversy on Thursday, when the agency’s executive director accused a board member of threatening her. Board member Joseph Gomez, an appointee of Gov. Bruce Rauner and the senior vice president of Byline Bank, told the board that Tollway Executive Director Liz Gorman had refused to meet with him one-on-one before the meeting. Gorman told the board that she refused the meeting because of threats Gomez had made against her. “I feel uncomfortable and very threatened,” Gorman said. She said she had been willing to meet with Gomez with someone else present, but Gomez declined. The dispute between Gomez and Gorman comes at a time of increased scrutiny of Tollway operations. On Tuesday, members of the state Senate Transportation Committee questioned Tollway officials about contracts awarded to firms with political connections or ties to the agency. After Thursday’s meeting, Gorman told reporters the threats were “verbal” but declined to elaborate further, telling reporters they could request information under the Freedom of Information Act. Gomez denied Gorman’s charge and said he had not spoken to Gorman before Thursday morning. A former Republican Cook County commissioner, Gorman was named executive director in February. “I don’t know what she’s talking about,” Gomez told reporters after the meeting, noting that he had voted to approve her appointment.)

UPSTREAM IDEAS
— Which Are You Willing To Give Up To Stay In IL: Your Job, Your Pension, Or Your Home? (DIERSEN: Ever-increasingly, those who run Illinois work harder and harder and harder to drive those who share my demographics out of Illinois. What keeps you in Illinois? My ancestors have lived in northeast Illinois since the 1844. I lived in Crete 1948-1972, University Park 1972-1976, Chicago 1976-1978, and Wheaton since 1978. My wife and I have spent a lot of money on our home at 915 Cove Court. My brother continues to live in Crete in a home that my grandfather had built in 1926 on land that his grandfather bought in 1864. I earned my bachelor’s degree, three master’s degrees, six professional certifications, and a professional license (CPA) in Illinois. All of the jobs I held were in Illinois (Chicago Heights, Flossmoor, Park Forest, Belvidere, DeKalb, Harvey, Joliet, and Chicago). My wife’s brother lives in Naperville and her sister who has serious health problems lives in Wheaton. I have P.O.A. for health and property for my father’s sister who lives in an assisted living facility in Flossmoor. My mother’s sister lives in a nursing home in Beecher. I have been a Republican Precinct Committeeman since 1999 and the GOPUSA Illinois Editor since 2000. Prosperity and safety are above average in Wheaton, in Milton Township, and in DuPage County.)

FREEDOM CENTER

(FROM THE POSTING: Congressman Keith Ellison — a good friend of Jew hating, anti-white Louis Farrakhan — is demanding Amazon ban the Freedom Center from selling our books and pamphlets. Worse, he’s using the Southern Poverty Law Center’s so-called “hate list” to fuel this baseless attack. . .You and I both know that the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) is just a vehicle for the radical Left to bully conservatives into submission and suppress free speech. If they see you as an enemy of the Leftist agenda, they label you a hate group no matter what you actually stand for. And now, a member of Congress is acting as their middle man and demanding the largest digital outlet for book sales censor us. This is straight out of Saul Alinsky’s playbook, and we must act now.)

https://www.nytimes.com/2018/07/26/us/young-conservatives-turning-point-usa.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: About 700 teenage conservatives visited the nation’s capital this week for a four-day leadership conference organized by Turning Point USA, a group founded in 2012 to promote activism skills among high school and college students and help young conservatives network with leaders in the movement. Many of the biggest names in the Trump administration and conservative activist circles, including Attorney General Jeff Sessions (who echoed the crowd’s chants of “lock her up” during his speech to the conference on Tuesday), former White House spokesman Sean Spicer, Donald Trump Jr. and billionaire Mark Cuban, led sessions at the conference about battling liberal college bias, opposing big government, protecting the Second Amendment and promoting free markets. We sat down with a few attendees to hear what it’s like for them to be red in schools they say are overwhelmingly blue. The interviews have been edited for clarity and brevity.)

SUPER CHEVY
— MARCH 9, 2018 FLASHBACK: Reading Your Corvette After a Long Storage – James Berry (DIERSEN: After not starting it since 2009, my 1972 Chevy Corvette, with only 5,081 miles on it, is at D & M Corvette in Downers Grove. My excuse for not starting the car and not driving it each summer is my spending 10+ hours each and every day putting GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails together and sending them out. In addition, since 2005, I have had a 2005 Corvette to drive; since 2012, a 2013 Dodge Charger R/T Max to drive; and since 2016, a 2016 Ford Mustang to drive. The carburetor is being rebuilt today. So far, D & M has replaced the car’s 5 tires with correct Firestone Wide Oval White Letter replica tires from Coker Tire, replaced all four calipers, replaced the master brake cylinder and fuel pump, fixed a fuel leak, fixed a passenger door latch problem, installed a new battery, changed the oil and filter, etc. D & M has not yet checked A/C and or taken it on a test drive. After investing all this money in the car, I am increasing its stated value insurance from $30,000 to $35,000. From now on, I will start and drive the car at least once each summer. The car is a Steel Cities Gray Coupe with the base 350 engine, automatic, power steering, A/C, black leather seats, AM/FM stereo radio, and heavy duty battery. The VIN is 1Z37K2S503860. I ordered the car in August of 1971 after my 1969 Dodge Charger SE was stolen in Chicago. I paid for the car with the $2,500 insurance settlement, $500 from my savings, and a $3,000 from a car loan. I took delivery on October 14, 1971. I paid the car loan off with money that I earned working for IRS full-time and working for Firestone Stores part-time. I stored the car in my mother’s garage in Crete 1971-1984 and in my attached, insulated, and heated garage in Wheaton since then, and since 1995, on a hydraulic lift. Money Magazine’s February 1978 “one person’s finances” article on me mentioned the car and included a picture of the car with me in it.)
