— How MacKenzie Scott’s mega donation will support Chicago’s low-income and 1st-generation college students – ELYSSA CHERNEY
(DIERSEN: During 1966, 1967, and 1968, I was a 1st-generation UIC student. But I was not low-income for the following reasons: a) I had a part-time job working for the Park Forest Post Office, b) my parents provided me with room and board in their home in Crete, and c) I owned a 1966 Pontiac Tempest Sprint that I drove to/from work and school. I bought that Pontiac with money I earned washing dishes for the minimum wage in the basement of the S.S. Kresges in Chicago Heights during 1964, 1965, and 1966. In 1967, I sold that Pontiac and bought a new 1968 Oldsmobile 442. In 1968, I sold that Oldsmobile and bought a new 1969 Dodge Charger SE.)

DAILY HERALD
— DIERSEN HEADLINE: Expect that Democrats will do everything that they can to use Juneteenth to kill Independence Day. Why hasn’t the Daily Herald reported Wheaton’s stopping Republicans from helping sponsor Wheaton’s 2021 Independence Day Parade and Fireworks? Are political organizations and candidates encouraged to have entries? It would be great if the Wheaton Park District (WPD) would publish its sponsorship policy. Are all sponsors banned or just DuPage Republicans? Will parade entries include bagpipers and the high school bands, and if not, why not? What parade entries have come in so far? How much money does the WPD have available for paid parade entries? Is it just the $10,000 that the City of Wheaton gave the WPD for paid parade entries? What paid parade entries will be in the parade?

— Koch Network Says Congress Must Make Amnesty for Illegals a Priority – Eric Lendrum
(DIERSEN: Needless-to-say, Republican activists, candidates, elected officials, and party leaders should not seek or accept money from major donors who reject planks in the Republican Party platform. Most commonly, they reject the traditional marriage/family, right to life, immigration, illegal drugs, Second Amendment, and/or equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) planks. I should write a book about Republican activists, candidates, elected officials, and party leaders in Illinois, DuPage County, Milton Township, and Wheaton who talk and/or act like they seek and/or accept lots of money from major donors who reject the aforesaid planks. Of course, those major donors want to stop me from sending out GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters.

(DIERSEN: Have you been “offered” a buyout? In 1993, when I was a 45 year old GS-13 GAO employee who had 25 years of federal service, the Democrats who ran GAO “offered” a $25,000 buyout to all their employees, including me, who had 25 or more years of federal service. They made it very clear that they wanted all eligible GAO employees to take their “offer” who were Republican, White, male, and/or non-veteran who they had 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.

ABC7
— JULY 4, 2016 FLASHBACK: Politicking at Independence Day parades
(DIERSEN: Republicans who participated in Wheaton’s outstanding 2016 Independence Day Parade included: U.S. Senator Mark Kirk; Governor Bruce Rauner, First Lady Diana Rauner, and Lieutenant Governor Evelyn Sanguinetti; State Senator Mike Connelly and State Representative Jeanne Ives; State Representative Peter Breen; DuPage County Board candidate Tim Elliott, DuPage County Board members Grant Eckhoff and Amy Grant, and DuPage County Forest Preserve Commissioner Tim Whelan; and the Milton Township Republican Organization. Please thank those who helped promote/sponsor the parade and the fireworks: Bob Berlin, Peter Breen, Liam Brennan, Fred Bucholz, Mike Connelly, Tim Elliott, Amy Grant, Gwen Henry, Jeanne Ives, Richard Jorgensen, Chris Kachiroubas, Mark Kirk, Brian Krajewski, Bob Lyon, Deanne Mazzochi, James Mendrick, Chris Nybo, Peter Roskam, Darlene Ruscitti, Phil Suess, Tim Whelan, and Jim Zay. SEE: https://gopillinois.com/uncategorized/july-4-evening-edition/ )
https://abc7chicago.com/politics/politicking-at-independence-day-parades/1413028/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: In Republican-rich Wheaton, one guy yelled at Governor Bruce Rauner to balance the state’s budget. “Balance the budget! Balance the budget!” yelled Buzz Ruttenberg at the governor. “I blame everyone, but he is the leader and when the ship is sinking you look to the captain,” said Ruttenberg when asked who he blamed for the Illinois budget crisis. ABC7 Eyewitness News spoke with a Wheaton resident Kahty Corniels who was trying to deliver a message to the governor via a sign saying, “No budget; no votes.” “I think he saw it. I don’t think he wants to make eye contact with me,” said Corniels. “I’m just tired of it. These are adults. We elected them and they can’t even make a decision on how to run the state.” The governor wasn’t much into straying from the script today. “Do you hear from people as you march about what’s going on in Springfield about the budget?” ABC7 Eyewitness News reporter Ben Bradley asked the governor. “No, today we celebrate the independence of America,” said Rauner. Nationally, Hillary Clinton had several supporters marching in Wheaton’s parade, but next to no one showed up on Donald Trump’s behalf, despite the fact the county is overwhelmingly Republican. Then again, the state’s GOP senator has said he won’t vote for Trump. “You were the first to come out and say Trump is unfit. Does that mean you’re voting for Hillary Clinton?” Bradley asked Illinois Republican Sen. Mark Kirk. “No, David Petraeus is who I’d like to write-in. I think he’s better qualified. We need someone who will be the best commander-in-chief we’ve ever had,” said Sen. Kirk.)
— 2nd Drag March for Change Chicago planned for Sunday – Will Jones
(DIERSEN: Ever-increasingly, Democrats promote BLM and LGBTQ.)
https://abc7chicago.com/community-events/chicago-drag-queens-planning-2nd-blm-march-/10768191/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: After the murder of George Floyd last year Jo MaMa organized the Drag March for Change. “I was just like let’s do this. Let’s get all my drag brothers and sisters together and try to make a change,” they said. The march brought thousands of people together on the North Side in support of the Black Lives Matter movement. MaMa is now organizing another march Sunday afternoon beginning at Belmont and Halsted. “We are still being shot down in the streets. We are still being treated as second class citizens and now people are paying attention. There really seems to be hope,” they said. This year organizers are pushing for cutting the Chicago Police Department budget and investing more in social services and community programs. They also want uniformed police officers banned at Pride festivities. Organizers said it’s important for members of the LGBTQI+ community to speak up about racial injustices. “We have always been the trailblazers. We have always been the front runners. We are the ones that shake things up and make the change. We are also extremely creative,” MaMa said. Tatyana Chante, who is one the Drag March for Change organizers, said that bringing about change takes time. “I’m hoping that people realize last year wasn’t just a one off, one and done,” he said. “This is a continuation. This is going to take work.” MaMa said drag is not required for the march and all allies are welcome to participate.)

(DIERSEN: How many people do you know who have taken lots of diversity training? The Democrats who run the federal government require all their employees to take lots of diversity training. I worked for the Democrats who ran the federal government for almost 30 years. I should write a book about all the diversity training that I took. That training hinted/implied/argued/shouted that Republicans are White supremacists, Nazis, KKK members, haters, racists, sexists, bigots, and even worse things who should gotten rid of once and for all. That helps explain why federal employees who are Democrat do not want to work for, work with, or supervise federal employees who are Republican. Virtually all federal employees are Democrats.)

GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— My critics/opponents want the following to be a front page top of fold newspaper headline: “Democrats stop DuPage Republicans from helping sponsor Wheaton’s 2021 Independence Day Parade and Fireworks.” – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com
(THE ARTICLE: I looks like those who want to stop DuPage Republicans from helping sponsor Wheaton’s 2021 Independence Day parade and fireworks are going to win. During Wheaton’s City Council meeting yesterday evening, none of the leaders of the Milton Township Republican Organization (MTRO), DuPage County Republican Central Committee (DCRCC), or Illinois Republican Party (IRP) spoke in favor of letting DuPage Republicans help sponsor the parade and fireworks. Further, the Milton Township Supervisor and MTRO Secretary John Monino spoke very strongly in favor of Michael Bernard, the Wheaton Park District Executive Director, who is leading the effort to stop DuPage Republicans from helping sponsor Wheaton’s Independence Day parades and fireworks.

As I have done since 2005, I again stand ready, willing, and able to again raise $2,500 from DuPage Republicans so that they can again be the top sponsor for Wheaton’s Independence Day parade and fireworks.

Sadly, so far, I have not been able to confirm that the Wheaton Park District has contracted with bagpipers or Wheaton high school bands to march in the parade.

The following include those who want to stop DuPage Republicans from helping sponsor Wheaton’s Independence Day parades and fireworks:

— Democrats, Libertarians, Greens, Independents, and RINOs in Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois who want to punish Trump by punishing Republicans in Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois;

— Those who want to stop me from raising funds from DuPage Republicans to help sponsor Wheaton’s Independence Day parades and fireworks;

— Those who want to stop me from sending out GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters and to stop everyone from reading those newsletters;

— Those who reject the traditional marriage/family, right to life, immigration, illegal drugs, immigration, Second Amendment, and/or equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) planks in the Republican Party platform;

— Those who promote dependency on government, dependency on charity, BLM, LGBTQ, abortion, mass/illegal immigration, abolition of the First and Second Amendments, patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and/or age discrimination;

— Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct since 2000 who have lost elections, their major donors, their political consultants, their fundraisers, their campaign managers, their campaign staff members, and/or their volunteers;

— Those who destroy those like me a) who they cannot manipulate/dominate, b) who refuse to glorify and praise them, c) who refuse to pander to them, d) who refuse to serve as one of their operatives or dupes, e) who refuse to cover-up their wrongdoing, and/or f) who refuse to give them money;

— Those who blame me and blame my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters for their problems, for your problems, for my problems, and/or for everyone’s problems; and/or

— Those who use Mr. Bernard’s false assertion that I clam to lead an “organization” to falsely hint/imply/argue/shout that I claim to lead an “organization.” The following lead MTRO: Chris LeVan, Chairman; Yadav Nathwani, Vice Chairman; John Monino, Secretary; and Beth Tatro, Treasurer. The following lead DCRCC: Jim Zay, Chairman; Deanna Wilkins, Honorary Chairman; Paul Hinds, Secretary; and Gwen Henry, Treasurer. The following lead the IRP: Don Tracy, Chairman; Mark Shaw, Co-Chairman; Mike Bigger, Secretary; Judy Dieklman, Treasurer; and 18 State Central Committee members including Bob Grogan.)

GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— The following Republicans donated money to help sponsor Wheaton’s 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, and/or 2019 Independence Day Parades and Fireworks: Michael Barbier, Bob Berlin, Peter Breen, Liam Brennan, Fred Bucholz, Roger Claar, Mike Connelly, Dan Cronin, David Diersen, Grant Eckhoff, Tim Elloitt, Paul Fullerton, Amy Grant, Chris Heidorn, Gwen Henry, Paul Hinds, Babette Holder, Jeanne Ives, Robert Jacobsen, Richard Jorgensen, Chris Kachiroubas, Marty Keller, Mark Kmiecik, Mark Kirk, Brian Krajewski, Bob Larsen, Robert Lyon, Jeff MacKay, Deanne Mazzochi, Paula McGowen, James Mendrick, Dave Molitor, John Monino, Chris Nybo, Karyn Romano, Evelyn Sanguinetti, Peter Roskam, Darlene Ruscitti, Phil Suess, Brian Telander, John Vires, Ann Celine Walsh, Tim Whelan, Kevin Wiley, Karen Wilson, John Zaruba, and Jim Zay. – Dave Diersen

June 7 Evening Edition

GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— From what I see, it is ever-increasingly clear that DuPage County Democrats want to punish Trump and punish his supporters for the January 6 Capitol Riot by stopping DuPage County Republicans from sponsoring Wheaton’s 2021 Independence Day Parade and Fireworks. Needless-to-say, that is unacceptable.

I certainly hope that all of the following have entries in the parade: Republican candidates for U.S. Senate, U.S. Representative in the DuPage County area, Illinois statewide offices, Illinois Senate and Representative in the DuPage County area, DuPage countywide offices, DuPage County Board and Forest Preserve offices, and judicial candidates.

It is Wheaton’s Independence Day Parade and Fireworks, not the Wheaton Park District’s Parade and Fireworks. Wheaton has given $30,000 to the Park District with $10,000 earmarked for parade entries and $20,000 earmarked for fireworks.

The more money that the Park District has for parade entries, the more and better entries that it can schedule.

The following is what I will ask Wheaton’s Mayor and Wheaton’s City Council to do at its meeting Monday evening, June 7, 2021 at 7:00 PM:

Direct the Wheaton Park District to:

— Use the same policy for sponsorship of Wheaton’s 2021 Independence Day Parade and Fireworks that it used for sponsorship of its 2019 Independence Day Parade and Fireworks, that is, allow DuPage Republicans to again donate $2,500 to be the top sponsor and earmark that donation for the bagpipers and high school bands, unless, of course, if the bagpipers and/or high school bands object to such earmarking

— Contract with bagpipers, for example, the Tunes of Glory Pipes and Drums or Chicago Highlanders Pipes & Drums, to march in the parade

— Contract with the Wheaton North and Wheaton Warrenville South high schools for their bands to march in the parade

— Publish and keep updated a list on its website of all parade entries as they come in

— Publish a detailed financial report a) on the money that it took in for the 2019 and prior Wheaton Independence Day parades and fireworks and b) how it spent that money for parade entries, etc.

— Report to Wheaton how it has/will spent/spend the $10,000 that it has received from the City of Wheaton for the 2021 parade and fireworks

— Report to Wheaton on what it has done, is doing, and will do to make Wheaton’s 2021 Independence Day Parade as successful as it can be in terms of a) number and quality of parade entries, b) promotion of the parade, c) etc.

(DIERSEN: How soon, if not already, will Democrats demand that Republicans wear badges that show a) the year that their ancestors came to America and b) the country that they came from? My ancestors on my father’s side came to America in 1844 from what is now Germany. According to the Democrats, if you are a Republican, the longer that your ancestors have been in America, the more that you have benefited from their discrimination a) against minorities, b) against females, and c) against those who came to America later.)

— JULY 1, 2011 FLASHBACK: Do July 4th festivities make you Republican? – LUCY MADISON
(DIERSEN: I should write a book about the ever-increasing opposition to Wheaton Independence Day parades and opposition to Republican participation in them. Of course, January 6 has increased opposition to Wheaton Independence Day parades and opposition to Republican participation in them.)
https://www.cbsnews.com/news/do-july-4th-festivities-make-you-republican/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A new study argues that July 4th celebrations may not be as innocent as they seem – at least from the democratic perspective. According to the report, published by Harvard University, July 4th-themed festivities (defined by the study as fireworks, parades, political speeches, and barbecues) not only energize primarily Republicans, but also turn children into Republicans and increase GOP voter turnout. Simply put: “Fourth of July celebrations in the United States shape the nation’s political landscape by forming beliefs and increasing participation, primarily in favor of the Republican Party,” says the report, which was written by Harvard Kennedy School Assistant Professor David Yanagizawa-Drott and Bocconi University Assistant Professor Andreas Madestam. “The political right has been more successful in appropriating American patriotism and its symbols during the 20th century,” the authors write. “Survey evidence also confirms that Republicans consider themselves more patriotic than Democrats. According to this interpretation, there is a political congruence between the patriotism promoted on Fourth of July and the values associated with the Republican party.” The study suggests that celebrating July 4 is, essentially, a lose-lose proposition for Democrats: Not only will they not likely gain any devotees from the festivities – they might actually lose some. “There is no evidence of an increased likelihood of identifying as a Democrat, indicating that Fourth of July shifts preferences to the right rather than increasing political polarization,” the study continues. Children, the authors posit, are particularly vulnerable to the implications of the (apparently) politically-loaded parades. “Fourth of July celebrations in Republican dominated counties may thus be more politically biased events that socialize children into Republicans,” say Yanagizawa-Drott and Madestam. “We were surprised to find that childhood experiences of Fourth July celebrations could have such persistent effects. The evidence suggests that important childhood events can have a permanent impact on political beliefs and behavior and that Fourth of July celebrations in the US affect the nation’s political landscape,” adds Yanagizawa-Drott. Of course, not everyone will be particularly concerned with the possible political implications of July 4th celebrations. If you’re looking for a more patriotic experience, you might want to check out a parade in a particularly Republican-skewing part of town – according to the report, “Republican adults celebrate Fourth of July more intensively in the first place.”)

BOSTON HERALD
— APRIL 24, 2019 FLASHBACK: Dracut bars local Republicans from marching in Memorial Day parade – AMARIS CASTILLO
(DIERSEN: I should write a book about the ever-increasing opposition to Wheaton Independence Day parades and opposition to Republican participation in them. Of course, January 6 has increased opposition to Wheaton Independence Day parades and opposition to Republican participation in them.)
https://www.bostonherald.com/2019/04/24/dracut-bars-local-republicans-from-marching-in-memorial-day-parade/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Last week, the Dracut Republican Town Committee was not allowed to march in the town’s Memorial Day Parade on May 27. On Tuesday, they were. Finally, by midday Wednesday, the committee was barred again, turning the festivities into a political hot potato. Town Committee Chairman Brian Genest, in an email to The Lowell Sun, called the decision “… the underbelly of Dracut politics at its worst. The town is trying to pass the buck, which is total nonsense, and the Board of Selectmen should be ashamed of the political tactics they are allowing to silence free speech and our right to march. … “Our organization is a group of dedicated and patriotic town citizens who support our veterans, our community and our country. Stopping our group from marching is just plain wrong. Our members include an Air Force veteran and an Army veteran!” Richard Ducharme, commander of the American Legion Post 315, made the post’s final decision, citing its national policy on participation by political organizations. He said the Legion puts on the event, while the town helps organize the order of bands and participants. “It’s a Legion policy and that goes all the way to Nationals. We are not supposed to be affiliated with any political groups,” Ducharme said. “I appreciate them trying to support us and they can do that, but as far as marching in a group, we cannot allow that. We let the GOP go in, we let the Democrats in and the Independents, and we don’t want to turn this into a political rally. The Memorial Day Parade is somber. It’s to remember our fallen comrades.” “What is so questionable about letting Republicans honor and support our veterans?” an angry Genest said over the phone Monday. “They’d rather have a patriotic dog than a patriotic Republican. It’s nothing but pure and petty politics.” Genest said on Monday he believed Town Manager Jim Duggan was behind the initial ban. Duggan, in an email, said he was not going to politicize the event. On Tuesday night, the board of selectmen became involved. Duggan was directed to permit the town committee to march, after back-and-forth and disagreement between Duggan and a few of the selectmen. Duggan raised concerns about political candidates marching in the parade and said he checked with the Old Home Day Committee, the members of which at first allowed political groups to have tents at the event but later reversed their decision. Genest accused the Old Home Day Committee of discriminating against the town committee in the past. Dave Paquin of the Old Home Day Committee said that years ago they were forced to ban political candidates and groups from participating in the community event because attendees complained they were being harassed. Duggan on Wednesday said the town’s role in the Memorial Day parade is strictly to coordinate and enforce the wishes of the American Legion, and outreach. A flier uploaded onto the Dracut government website said participation in this year’s parade is open to businesses, individuals and organizations. Participation ideas included dance and karate studios, decorated antique and classic cars, and dogs in patriotic attire.)

https://www.usnews.com/news/blogs/washington-whispers/2011/06/30/harvard-july-4th-parades-are-right-wing
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Democratic political candidates can skip this weekend’s July 4th parades. A new Harvard University study finds that July 4th parades energize only Republicans, turn kids into Republicans, and help to boost the GOP turnout of adults on Election Day. “Fourth of July celebrations in the United States shape the nation’s political landscape by forming beliefs and increasing participation, primarily in favor of the Republican Party,” said the report from Harvard. “The political right has been more successful in appropriating American patriotism and its symbols during the 20th century. Survey evidence also confirms that Republicans consider themselves more patriotic than Democrats. According to this interpretation, there is a political congruence between the patriotism promoted on Fourth of July and the values associated with the Republican party. Fourth of July celebrations in Republican dominated counties may thus be more politically biased events that socialize children into Republicans,” write Harvard Kennedy School Assistant Professor David Yanagizawa-Drott and Bocconi University Assistant Professor Andreas Madestam. Their findings also suggest that Democrats gain nothing from July 4th parades, likely a shocking result for all the Democratic politicians who march in them. “There is no evidence of an increased likelihood of identifying as a Democrat, indicating that Fourth of July shifts preferences to the right rather than increasing political polarization,” the two wrote. The three key findings of those attending July 4th celebrations: When done before the age of 18, it increases the likelihood of a youth identifying as a Republican by at least 2 percent. It raises the likelihood that parade watchers will vote for a Republican candidate by 4 percent. It boosts the likelihood a reveler will vote by about 1 percent and increases the chances they’ll make a political contribution by 3 percent. What’s more, the impact isn’t fleeting. “Surprisingly, the estimates show that the impact on political preferences is permanent, with no evidence of the effects depreciating as individuals become older,”said the Harvard report. Finally, the report suggests that if people are looking for a super-patriotic July 4th, though should head to Republican towns. “Republican adults celebrate Fourth of July more intensively in the first place.”)
