I should write a book about those in Wheaton and in Glen Ellyn who demonize, who denigrate, and who condemn Crete and my upbringing there. They paint Crete back then as being full of very bad people a) who were German-American, Lutheran, conservative, Republican, and draft avoiders and b) who were White supremacists, Nazis, KKK members, haters, racists, sexists, bigots, and even worse things.)

CRAIN’S CHICAGO BUSINESS
— You got your chance, J.B. Don’t blow it. No state lawmakers—Democrat or Republican—should get behind a progressive income tax without providing significant relief to property tax payers, who currently carry the heaviest such burden in the nation. – Editorial (DIERSEN: From what I see, Democrats believe that if you own real estate, a) you are rich and b) you can and you should pay more taxes. To hint/imply/argue/shout that I can and should pay more taxes, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have stressed that I have owned real estate since 1972 when I was 24 years old.)

— Lincoln, three other presidents voted top leaders in Illinois history (DIERSEN: Who are the top leaders in your municipality, in your township/ward, and in your county?

POLITICO ILLINOIS
— GOP’s UIHLEIN problem – SHIA KAPOS and ADRIENNE HURST (DIERSEN: Those who want to destroy the Illinois Republican Party (IRP) want the IRP a) to dump the traditional family, right to life, immigration, and Second Amendment planks in the IRP platform and b) to dump those voters, to dump those organizations, to dump those companies, and to dump those governments that support the aforesaid planks and/or that support Trump. Will the IRP dump Uihlein and his money and seek/take money from those who promote LGBTQ activity, abortion, mass/illegal immigration, abolition of the Second Amendment, booze, gambling, pot, and other vices, patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and even worse things?)
https://www.politico.com/newsletters/illinois-playbook/2018/11/12/quigley-sets-sights-on-sessions-gops-uihlein-problem-emanuels-remedy-for-congress-345324
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Illinois Democrats’ takeover of every level of government has the Illinois Republican Party is taking stock on how to shift gears. The way Pat Brady sees it, the Illinois GOP needs an “autopsy” similar to what the national GOP underwent in 2012 when Mitt Romney lost to President Barack Obama. “We need to get back to the party of Reagan, a party that appeals to a broad spectrum,” he told POLITICO. That would mean having to pull back from the politics of Dick Uihlein, the business magnate who supported conservatives across the country during this past election season, including Alabama Republican U.S. Senate candidate Roy Moore—who was accused of sexually assaulting teens when he was in his 30s. Uihlein lives in Wisconsin but has been an influence on GOP politics in Illinois, funneling $8.5 million to the Liberty Principles PAC and to conservative gubernatorial candidate Jeanne Ives (who lost to Bruce Rauner in the primary). Brady and others say the Illinois GOP would do better to stop focusing on social issues like gay marriage, especially as more young people and women get involved in the voting process. GOP state Rep. Dave McSweeney also points to the missteps of Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner. “ We have a massive tax hike, out of control spending, a big unpaid backlog of bills—and we have fewer Republican General Assembly members,” he told POLITICO. “We’re worse off than when he came in.” McSweeney says Republicans need to follow Democrats’ political tactics: Run a grassroots GOTV campaign. “This wasn’t a policy victory,” he said, referring to J.B. Pritzker’s rout over Rauner. “Pritzker ran on a vague platform. What he and Democrats did was get out the vote.”)

— School discipline: Which Will County districts reported suspending the most girls?
https://willcountygazette.com/stories/511556776-school-discipline-which-will-county-districts-reported-suspending-the-most-girls
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Crete Monee Community Unit School District 201u, Joliet Township High School District 204 and Lockport Township High School District 205 reported the highest rate of girls suspended for any reason during the 2016-17 school year in Will County, according to the latest report from the Illinois State Board of Education. In this analysis, the incident rate is calculated by dividing the number of incidents by district enrollment.)

In 1974, while I was an IRS employee, the Democrats who ran IRS investigated my partial day per diem claims. In 1968 and 1969, while I was a Post Office employee, the Democrats who ran the Post Office investigated my sick leave claims. The aforesaid investigations were adverse actions taken to end my federal career and to get rid of me. None of the aforesaid investigations would have been launched if I had been a Democrat, a minority, a female, or a veteran.)

— How Trump’s tax cuts hurt the GOP in America’s wealthy suburbs – BRIAN CHEUNG
https://www.aol.com/article/finance/2018/11/12/how-trumps-tax-cuts-hurt-the-gop-in-americas-wealthy-suburbs/23587443/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Proponents of the tax bill say the SALT cap, which tends to benefit the wealthier, will still be offset by a now-doubled standard deduction. Republican Peter Roskam, one of the key members of the tax-writing House Ways and Means Committee, heavily advertised how a larger standard deduction would simplify the tax filing to the size of a postcard. Roskam ended up losing his seat in Illinois’s 6th congressional district, where Democratic challenger Sean Casten took to Medium.com to attack Roskam and the Trump tax cuts. “Peter Roskam likes to hype his position on the Ways and Means committee to convince you he knows more about tax policy and you do,” Casten wrote. “It’s all a lie.” With Roskam gone, the Republican side of the tax-writing House Ways and Means Committee looks thin on members who helped drive the tax reform bill. Three of the six subcommittee members did not run for reelection.)

REPUBLICAN AMERICAN
— Legal Business: Parameters of age discrimination – Eric Brown (DIERSEN: Do you oppose age discrimination? My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes promote age discrimination. They applaud the federal government’s “out-or-out” policy for its employees who are Republican, White, male, and/or non-veteran. They vicious demonize, vicious denigrate, and viciously condemn as being lazy, stupid, and even worse things federal employees like me who are Republican, White, male, and/or non-veteran who did not make GS-13 (currently $96,403) by age 25, GS-14 (currently $113,920) by age 30, GS-15 (currently $134,000) by age 35, and Senior Executive Service (currently $164,200) by age 40.)
http://www.rep-am.com/news/news-business/2018/11/11/legal-business-parameters-of-age-discrimination/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: My friends and I turned 50 this year. There is a group of about 11 of us from college who get together once a year to relive our glory days and catch up on each other’s lives. Over the last couple of years, five out of the 11 have lost jobs. Losing a job when you’re in your late 40s to early 50s can be financially devastating. Those are the prime earning years and the time when a person can really start putting away for retirement and catch up if the nest egg wasn’t built large enough in their 20s and 30s. A layoff or termination after 25 years of building a career can really set a person back. The likelihood that such a person will find work at the same pay level becomes more remote. At the same time, greater financial obligations like educating kids, preparing for retirement, or caring for parents come to the forefront.)

Peter Roskam and Randy Hultgren, even though the president helped Downstate Republicans.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Governor Bruce Rauner and other Illinois Republicans rallied at the Benedictine University in Lisle on the eve of Tuesday’s election. Rauner was wrapping up a 9-day bus tour of the state with one last attempt to get his supporters to the polls. If we get the turnout, we’re going to win it,” predicted Rauner. He was joined by other Republicans including Lt. Gov. Evelyn Sanguinetti. The two reminded voters that if Rauner loses the election Democrats will control the house and the governor’s mansion. “We have a governor that’s always stood up to Mike Madigan, and we have a governor who is going to stand up to the person that Mike Madigan appointed which is J.B. Pritzker,” said Sanguinetti. Rauner asked his supports to remind their neighbors to go the polls on Tuesday. He said voters have been telling him, “Stay strong, don’t back down don’t give in. You’re on the right track. Madigan has got to go.”)

A new study exploring the financial habits of 2,000 American millennials found the average respondent feels or is aiming to be well-versed and comfortable in all things finance a few years into their thirties. The new survey, conducted by Ally Financial, uncovered how much millennials spend a month, what they spend on, and what role retirement plays in their financial habits to date.)

— Rauner’s conservative predicament – TAHMAN BRADLEY
https://wgntv.com/2018/11/02/illinois-republicans-angry-with-rauner-say-theyll-still-vote-for-him/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: To win four years ago, Bruce Rauner campaigned as a fiscal conservative with no social agenda. He offered up a 44-point turnaround plan to shake up Springfield. Conservative and moderate Republicans loved it. But not long after Rauner took office, the right revolted. When it was time to seek reelection, he drew a primary challenge from State Rep. Jeanne Ives. “You know I started to lose hope that he was really going to be on the track fiscally as soon as he entered office,” Ives said. “And it had to do with him expanding massively pre-school in a state where we couldn’t afford it. We were going to try to grab on to $20 million per year on a federal grant. But we were going to have to phony up $400 million just to get that money.” It’s not just finances. Ives’ anger exploded when Rauner approved a law protecting undocumented immigrants and then later signed a measure expanding taxpayer-subsidized abortions. “I’m a social conservative and we’ve taken it on the chin, even under a Republican governor, we’ve not gotten what we wanted. The promises were not kept,” Ives said. Rauner defeated Ives by a razor thin margin, about 20,000 votes. After the primary, party leaders emphasized the need for unity. But Rauner and Ives did not do that. When asked if she did everything she could to help him win, Ives said: “That was never my job. I was very upfront with people.” Ives predicts Rauner will lose, but she says she will vote for him. . .McSweeney has been harsh critic of Governor Rauner, but he’s sticking with him in the race. “Our best hope is to reelect Rauner because he’s not going to opening promote tax increases. But I’d be a hypocrite if I said positive things about the first term. It’s been a fiasco across the board,” McSweeney said. Like Ives, the McSweeney fears Rauner could be doomed. But he sees a chance for the conservative movement to regroup. “If Bruce Rauner ends up losing we need to realize that we need to go back to our grassroots. We need to be inclusive. We need to be a positive party. We’ve got to stop calling people names and focus on an agenda that makes sense,” McSweeney said.)

WHEATON RECORD
— Upcoming midterm election sparks conversation on campus – CHARLES HERMESMANN
http://www.wheatonrecord.com/news/upcoming-midterm-election-sparks-conversation-on-campus/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: As the election approaches, Wheaton political science faculty have taken particular interest in the Roskam vs. Casten race. Dr. Amy Black noted that the race has changed from “too close to call” to “leans Democratic” in recent articles and polls. “The momentum seems to be moving in Casten’s favor,” Black said. She predicts that many late voters will choose to vote against the incumbent. “Since voters typically know the person currently in office, those who are still ambivalent at the end are likely showing a tendency to choose the new alternative.” Dr. Bryan McGraw voiced his view that the midterm election was still too close to call: “I honestly don’t know,” he said. “I suspect it will come down to a relatively small number of votes, maybe less than 500, and it’s impossible to tell at that small of a margin.” While McGraw still sees the race as too close to call, he agrees that this race marks a change in Wheaton’s congressional district. “Regardless of who wins, it’s clear that the district is trending more centrist, which will have a constraining effect on the representative. And which means we will probably see competitive elections here for the foreseeable future.” Some Wheaton students, like senior political science major Emma Wen, will be voting for the first time in this year’s midterm election. “I believe strongly in fulfilling one’s civic duty to vote — it is a privilege and right which should not be taken lightly,” she said. Wen Upcoming midterm election sparks conversation on campus expects this year’s election to have a significant impact on the country as a whole: “I think the ultimate outcome of these midterms will be the decisive approval or disapproval of President Trump and the Republican Party by voters.” No matter the outcome of the 2018 midterm election, politicians and political pundits seem certain that it will have major effects on the country’s policies.)

POLITICO ILLINOIS
— Conservative activist Dan Proft took issue with my description Monday of his media company being “far right” politics-wise. “You wouldn’t refer to the Sun-Times as far left,” he said. Good point. So how to describe Proft’s political leanings? Is he a Trump conservative? Proft emailed: “My conservatism predates Trump—who I wouldn’t call a conservative—by 30 years.” – Shia Kapos

WIRE POINTS
— Illinois Speech Police Have A New Bill Pending – Mark Glennon (DIERSEN: Will Martwick argue that by reading GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails without paying for them, you are accepting an in-kind contribution? GOPUSA ILLINOIS email subscriptions are worth at least $1,000 a year. Given that, individual GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails are worth at least $1.37 ($1,000 divided by 730).)
http://www.wirepoints.com/illinois-speech-police-have-a-new-bill-pending-quicktake/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: How far has respect for freedom of speech sunk? How unaware are some Illinois lawmakers about constitutional protection for speech? House Bill 5977, now pending in the Illinois General Assembly, informs us. The bill would provide that any expenditure made by a news publication or an entity that owns a news publication for the purpose of supporting or opposing a public official or candidate shall be treated as an in-kind contribution for the purposes of the Illinois Election Code. “Expenditure” does not include normal publication costs associated with a news story, commentary, or editorial, but does include costs associated with advertising related to a particular news story, commentary, or editorial. Think about that. Wirepoints certainly would be considered a “news entity.” So would countless other publications beyond traditional media, such as Huffington Post, Politico and dozens of others, including many with a particular ideological bent. Now, suppose we write a glowing article explaining why State Rep. Robert Martwick (D-Chicago) is the finest statesman in Illinois government. (That requires some imagination because, among many other reasons, he’s one of the bill’s sponsors.) No problem so far. But suppose we take the additional step of spending some money to promote our article, maybe by sending money to Facebook or Google to run an ad highlighting it. Boom. Under the pending bill, we’d be making a regulated campaign contribution subject to reporting and spending limits. Or suppose, instead of a cash payment like that, we have somebody working Facebook and Twitter all day, as many organizations do, to help spread and post our work. Is that person’s salary any different? Consider even standard SEO software most websites use. It’s designed to optimize search engine results to drive pageviews. Isn’t the cost of that essentially the same?)

 

COOK COUNTY RECORD
— Northbrook opts in to Cook County paid sick leave ordinance, more uncertainty for employers, lawyer says – Gabriel Neves (DIERSEN: A major reason why my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes hate past and present federal employees is that federal employees get paid sick leave. How much an hour do my critics/opponents pay their operatives and their dupes to demonize me, to denigrate me, to condemn me, to threaten me, to harm me, and to get rid of me? I hope that it is at least $15 an hour. Do my critics/opponents give their operatives and their dupes sick leave? Many of their operatives and their dupes have severe health, financial, and/or other problems. I should write a book about them.)

WASHINGTON EXAMINER
— Donald who? Neither Democrat nor Republican wants to talk Trump in crucial House races – David M. Drucker (DIERSEN: What do you say to those around Roskam who advise Roskam a) to dump Trump and to dump Trump supporters like me, b) to stop me from attending Roskam press conferences fundraisers, c) to stop me from reporting on Roskam press conferences and fundraisers, and d) to blame me and my GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails for all the problem that Roskam has had, that Roskam is having, and that Roskam will have?)
https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/campaigns/top-house-democratic-challenger-this-election-is-not-about-donald-trump
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Like Underwood, Republican Rep. Peter Roskam, facing a challenge from Democrat Sean Casten, is less interested in talking national issues. With a tough race in suburban Chicago, in the neighboring Sixth Congressional District, it’s understandable that Roskam doesn’t want to discuss Trump. Instead, the embattled Republican incumbent tries to keep the focus on the low unemployment rate and high rate of economic growth that have resulted since the Republican-controlled Congress pass a sweeping $1.3 trillion tax overhaul. Notably, Roskam in an interview with the Washington Examiner last week didn’t raise the issue of the migrant caravan headed toward the Southern border; the threat of illegal immigrant gangs; or the #jobsnotmobs meme being pushed by some Republicans, including some in vulnerable suburban districts just like his. Indeed, Roskam didn’t even bother warn about House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., becoming the speaker. Rather, he spent a campaign swing through his district promoting tax reform and his work to address the opioid crisis — issues that interest voters but that get less national airtime. “I’m running against one person,” Roskam said. “My goal is to win a majority on Nov. 6 and so I’m focused on one person who’s the messenger of policies and tone that don’t reflect this district and so. I don’t like the all or nothing business. I don’t think it’s persuasive.”)

FORBES
— Former PBS Editor Alleges Sex Discrimination In His Firing Over Calling Meghan Markle ‘Not Bad’ – Michelle Kaminsky (DIERSEN: Are/were you an “at-will” employee? Federal employees are not “at-will” employees. Federal employees have federal civil service protections. Because I have always been a Republican, were it not for federal civil service protections, a) the Post Office would NOT have hired me in 1966 or let me work there for almost 3 years, b) IRS would NOT have hired me in 1971 or let me work there for almost 9 years, c) IRS would NOT have promoted me in 1972, 1973, or 1974, d) GAO would NOT have hired me in 1980 or let me work there for almost 18 years, and e) GAO would NOT have promoted me in 1986.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Hugh Heckman, former editor for PBS NewsHour, has sued his former employers over his termination, which he alleges came two days after he referred to Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex as “not bad.” Heckman claims he was fired as a result of sex discrimination in violation of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the New York State Human Rights Law because a similar comment by a female colleague about a man wasn’t subject to investigation or discipline. According to the complaint filed in the District Court for the Southern District of New York, Heckman, an at-will employee, was working on a story about the British Royal Family in November 2017 when he viewed a photo of Markle. To his male colleague next to him, Heckman said “‘not bad’ . . . in a low tone of voice.” This comment was overheard by a female colleague 20 feet away, who remarked that Heckman wasn’t abiding by the principles of the recent sexual harassment training session the employees had attended. Another female co-worker commented, “haven’t you learned?” The complaint alleges that Heckman “immediately explained that he had not intended any sexually harassing remark,” and that he was referring to Markle’s suitability as a match for Prince Harry with regards to her charm and beauty. One of the female co-workers reported Heckman’s comment to executive producer Scott Davis, who, two days later, told Heckman he was “regretfully” terminating his employment, offering “this latest incident” as a reason.)

— FRONT PAGE: In 6th District, Democrat Sean Casten says remarks on Trump’s tactics he’s apologized for ‘needed to be said’ – Patrick M. O’Connell and Mike Riopell (DIERSEN: According to this article, “Roskam has said Casten’s campaign demeanor reflects Trump’s temperament.” What do you say those around Roskam who hint/imply/argue/shout that I reflect Trump’s temperament and even worse things? They have done everything that they can a) to stop me from finding out about Roskam’s press conferences, b) to stop me from attending and reporting on Roskam’s press conferences, and c) stop me from attending and reporting on Roskam’s fundraisers. These newcoming scapegoaters blame me and my GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails for Roskam’s problems, for their problems, for your problems, for my problems, and for everyone’s problems. I have been helping elect and reelect Roskam since 2000. Both Roskam and Hultgren endorsed me when I first ran for Republican Precinct Committeeman in 2000.)

— Ives urges vote for legislative candidates, not governor – Rick Pearson
http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/politics/ct-met-fritz-kaegi-democratic-mailer-20181022-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: State Rep. Jeanne Ives, the Wheaton Republican who lost a March bid for the GOP nomination for governor to Rauner by 3 percentage points, is urging a vote for Republican legislative candidates and not Illinois’ chief executive. In an appearance on KFTK-FM 97.1, a conservative talk station in the St. Louis suburb of Florrisant, Mo., that reaches southwestern Illinois, Ives criticized both Rauner and Republican state Sen. Sam McCann of Plainview who is running for governor under the Conservative Party banner. “The Republican Party’s in complete disarray. Let’s face it, Rauner’s going to lose, in my estimation,” Ives said, adding, “So, the fight is in the Illinois House and in the Illinois Senate. Those are your first line of defense against the bad policies going forward.” Ives, who has not endorsed a candidate for governor, said there are Republicans “all over the place as to what they’re going to do on the governor’s race,” in part because of Rauner’s signature on laws expanding abortion, immigration and transgender rights. She said people who thought they “could find a conservative in Sam McCann” shouldn’t trust the state senator because of mailers he’s sending out attacking some social conservatives as backers of Rauner and of being less than Republicans. “So now conservatives have been betrayed once again and they have no place to go,” Ives said.)

It is easy for them to paint be as being a clone of Trump because we share many demographics. We are both Protestant, conservative, patriotic, Republican, American, White, male, old, overweight, married, non-poor, gun owners, German American, draft avoiders, and our ancestors have been in America for a long time. They have done everything that they can a) to stop me from finding out about their candidate’s press conferences, b) to stop me from attending and reporting on their candidate’s press conferences, and c) stop me from attending and reporting on their candidate’s fundraisers. These newcoming scapegoaters blame me and my GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails for all their candidate’s problems, for their problems, for your problems, for my problems, and for everyone’s problems. I have been helping elect and reelect Republicans since 2000. Both Roskam and Hultgren endorsed me when I first ran for Republican Precinct Committeeman in 2000.)

KIPLINGER
— Retirees, Go Ahead and Spend a Little (More) Successful savers have prospered by living below their means. Frugality often becomes a preference—sometimes to an excessive degree. – ANNE KATES SMITH (DIERSEN: Since my Democrat GAO superiors succeeded in forcing me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years old, I have been able to increase my retirement saving because of my wife’s income.)
https://www.kiplinger.com/article/spending/T031-C023-S002-how-frugal-retirement-savers-can-spend-wisely.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A recent study by the Employee Benefit Research Institute found that the majority of retirees are spending down their assets surprisingly slowly during the first two decades of retirement. People who retired with $200,000 to $500,000 in savings, not including their homes, had spent a bit more than one-fourth of their assets, EBRI found. Those with more assets — $500,000 or more — had parted with even less, spending down less than 12% of savings over a 20-year span. And about one-third of the retirees in the study increased their savings over the period.)

CRAIN’S CHICAGO BUSINESS
— After Rauner: Ricketts, the IMA and the future of the Illinois GOP The shift of millions of dollars in dark money suggests the fight for control of the Illinois Republican Party is on, with implications for Chicago’s mayoral race, too. – GREG HINZ (DIERSEN: He who pays the piper calls the tunes. As everyone knows, anti-conservatives have always a) dominated the Illinois Republican Party (IRP) and b) blamed conservatives for all losses that Republicans have suffered in Illinois. Those anti-conservatives want the IRP a) to officially demonize, denigrate, condemn, and banish Trump, b) to officially banish Trump supporters from the IRP, c) to officially strike the traditional family, right to life, immigration, and Second Amendment planks from the IRP platform, d) to officially promote LGBTQ activity, abortion, mass/illegal immigration, abolition of the Second Amendment, booze, gambling, pot, and other vices, etc., and e) to officially banish conservatives, that is, Republicans, from the IRP.)
https://www.chicagobusiness.com/greg-hinz-politics/after-rauner-ricketts-ima-and-future-illinois-gop
(FROM THE ARTICLE: All of this is occurring as Republican chatter builds about what will happen after Rauner and the tens of millions of dollars he’s plowed into the party are gone. Ricketts reportedly is interested in stepping up his activity, perhaps with Griffin as a partner, insiders say. The Ricketts clan does have quite a political pedigree, with Todd Ricketts’ brother, Pete Ricketts, now the governor of Nebraska, and his sister, Laura Ricketts, a leading national Democratic donor. Chairman Schneider, in an interview, said his term has well over three more years to run and “at this point,” he expects to complete it. But he conceded that considerable concern about the future is being raised in a party in which conservative activist state Rep. Jeanne Ives almost defeated Rauner in the March primary, and conservative activist Dan Proft, with help from wealthy businessman Dick Uhlein, has been running millions of ads on behalf of Illinois House candidates he says will be independent of both Rauner and Democratic House Speaker Mike Madigan. “I definitely think there will be a change in leadership of the party after Rauner loses,” Ives says. “I expect to sit with all parts of the party after the election,” Schneider told me. “We’ll put our collective heads together to try to sort out things should work together.” As for Ricketts—a spokesman denied to Politico that he or his family are involved in dark money activities—I wish we had a lot of people like Todd,” Schneider said. “He’s a great guy.”)

CNN
— Reporter prevented from questioning Kushner (DIERSEN: Political consultants and campaign managers who are Democrats or Democrat plants, Libertarians or Libertarian plants, Greens or Green plants, or RINOs do not want me to ask their candidates any questions. Ever-increasingly, they want me to agree to not ask their candidates any questions before they will let attend their candidates’ press conferences. Ever-increasingly, they want me to agree to not report anything about their fundraisers before they will let me attend their fundraisers. I should write a book about the aforesaid political consultants and campaign managers and what they have done to discourage/stop me from asking their candidates any questions. Since 2005, they have viciously used against me what happened with GOPUSA, Talon News, and White House Correspondent Jeff Gannon. SEE: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talon_News They paint me as being a clone of Jeff Gannon. Ever since I became a GOPUSA reporter in 2000, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have hinted/implied/argued/shouted that I ask bad questions, and that because of that, activists, candidates, elected officials, party leaders, major donors, political consultants, etc. should a) stop me from learning about their events and other activities, b) stop me from promoting their events and other activities, c) stop me from attending their events, and d) stop me from reporting on their events and other activities.)

— The myth of meritocracy: who really gets what they deserve? Sorting people by ‘merit’ will do nothing to fix inequality. – Kwame Anthony Appiah (DIERSEN: Did you get what you deserve? My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have always hinted/implied/argued/shouted that I have gotten far more than I deserve. They stress that I was born a White male, that I have been healthy, that I avoided the draft, that I got married, that my wife and I gave up trying to have children, that we did not adopt, that we did not become foster parents, that etc. In my defense, 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.)
