AMERICAN GREATNESS
— We should not make it easy for our enemies to target us. – Gavin Wax (DIERSEN: What do you do that makes it easy for your enemies to target you? I have sent GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails out since 2000. Since 2004, those emails have gone out each and every morning, and since 2015, each and every evening too. My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes read those emails very closely, and bring articles in them that they know that my enemies do not like to the attention of my enemies. My enemies reject the traditional family, right to life, immigration, illegal drugs, Second Amendment, and/or equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) planks in the Republican Party platform. My enemies focus on destroying me and individuals, organizations, companies, and governments that they cannot manipulate/dominate. My enemies despise/hate me and those who share my demographics. My enemies blame me for all of their problems, for all of your problems, for all of my problems, and for all of everyone’s problems. I should write a book about my enemies. Better yet, I should sue them.)

CHRISTIANITY DAILY
— Most Americans believe social media companies censor political viewpoints – DEREK KIM (DIERSEN: My critics/opponents promote Facebook. They do not want me to include links in GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails that promote conservative principles. They do not want me to include links in those emails that promote the public safety, traditional marriage, right to life, immigration, illegal drugs, Second Amendment, or equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) planks in the Republican Party platform.)
http://www.christianitydaily.com/articles/9763/20200829/most-americans-think-social-media-sites-censor-political-viewpoints.htm
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The Pew Research Center survey conducted in June finds that roughly three-quarters of U.S. adults say it is very (37%) or somewhat (36%) likely that social media sites intentionally censor political viewpoints that they find objectionable. Just 25% believe this is not likely the case. The survey conducted in June finds that about three-quarters of American adults think that it is very (37%) or somewhat (36%) likely that social media sites intentionally censor political viewpoints that they find objectionable. On the other hand, only 25% believe that this is likely not true. The majority of both political parties also finds this to be true. However, this sentiment is much more widespread and growing quicker among Republicans. 9 in 10 Republican leaning adults answered that it was at least somewhat likely that censorship of objectionable viewpoints occurs on social media. This is up slightly from 85% when the center asked this same question in 2018.)

— Biden rejects skipping Trump debates, vows to fact-check – AP (DIERSEN: Will Biden hire me to be his fact checker? While I worked for the Democrats who ran GAO 1980-1997, the last 11 years of which at GS-13 Step 1-10 levels, currently $101,176-$131,532/year, I increasingly worked as a referencer, that is, as a fact checker. That work required assuring the accuracy and support for each and every word, number, table, graph, chart, conclusion, opinion, and recommendation in GAO reports. I worked for IRS 1971-1980, the last 5 1/2 years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 levels, currently $85,084-$96,431/year. My other fact checking qualifications include my becoming a Forensic Accountant in 1997, Certified Fraud Examiner in 1990, licensed CPA in 1981, Certified Internal Auditor in 1981, and CPA in 1979.)

https://www.dailyherald.com/news/20200825/casten-and-ives-sound-off-on-black-lives-matter-and-trump-during-forums
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Democratic U.S. Rep. Sean Casten and Republican challenger Jeanne Ives voiced diametrically different opinions of the Black Lives Matter movement and its members during separate public forums Tuesday. Casten, a Downers Grove resident seeking his second term as the congressman for Illinois’ 6th District, called the movement “amazingly inspiring” and said most Americans support the effort, which opposes police brutality and racially motivated violence. “I think that is such a beautiful sign of progress,” Casten said. Conversely, Ives, a former state legislator from Wheaton who unsuccessfully ran for governor in 2018, blasted the group as “a Marxist organization that wants to destroy the nuclear family.” Ives also said she doesn’t understand why protesters are allowed to paint the Black Lives Matter name on streets or march without parade permits.)

Of course, the mainstream news media would never offer me a job as a fact checker. While I worked for GAO 1980-1997, the last 11 years of which at GS-13 Step 1-10 levels, currently $101,176-$131,532/year, I increasingly worked as a referencer, that is, as a fact checker. That work required assuring the accuracy and support for each and every word, number, table, graph, chart, conclusion, opinion, and recommendation in GAO reports. I worked for IRS 1971-1980, the last 5 1/2 years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 levels, currently $85,084-$96,431/year. My other fact checking qualifications include my becoming a Forensic Accountant in 1997, Certified Fraud Examiner in 1990, licensed CPA in 1981, Certified Internal Auditor in 1981, and CPA in 1979.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Ariel Atkins, of Black Lives Matter Chicago, told The Chicago Tribune that the demonstration was in response to the police shooting of a man on Sunday and to demand the release of those arrested in the ensuing looting. Atlkins told the newspaper that protesters are “demanding that police be defunded. Police should not be here.” Atkins also suggested that the looting that took place was justified. “I think [the looting] is fine. People protest however they need to. People do whatever they need,” she said. “These businesses have insurance. They can get it all back. We can’t get our lives back once they kill us.” In videos posted on Twitter by LaRiviere, Atkins is heard telling the crowd outside the station: “We are in a pandemic. People are about to face evictions in numbers we have never seen before. “People don’t have a job. Why is [Chicago Mayor Lori] Lightfoot so stressed about some buildings when people are dying? “Why is she so OK with us being beaten and gassed, our lives threatened? Why is she so willing to put us away for life for looting?” In a tweet on Monday night, Black Lives Matter Chicago wrote: “Multiple people have been released since we started rallying. Direct action works.” Black Lives Matter Chicago have been contacted for additional comment.)

DAILY SIGNAL
— Investigating the Prevalence of Left-Leaning ‘Fact-Checkers’ – Sharyl Attkisson (DIERSEN: QUESTION: What qualifications do I have to be a fact checker? ANSWER: While I worked for GAO 1980-1997, the last 11 years of which at GS-13 Step 1-10 levels, currently $101,176-$131,532/year, I increasingly worked as a referencer, that is, as a fact checker. That work required assuring the accuracy and support for each and every word, number, table, graph, chart, conclusion, opinion, and recommendation in GAO reports. I worked for IRS 1971-1980, the last 5 1/2 years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 levels, currently $85,084-$96,431/year. My other fact checking qualifications include my becoming a Forensic Accountant in 1997, Certified Fraud Examiner in 1990, licensed CPA in 1981, Certified Internal Auditor in 1981, and CPA in 1979.)
