https://www.illinoisreview.com/illinoisreview/2021/07/new-illinois-office-of-equity-will-promote-diversity-equity-and-inclusion-across-state-government.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Just out of the Governor’s office this Friday afternoon. Will work on a response in upcoming Illinois Review stories. At first glance, it appears Governor Pritzker is taking the state of Illinois even further into a Leftist mindset – something that is of no surprise to attentive conservative Illinoisans. Some are seeing it immediately as ushering in a state government guided by the Critical Race Theory so many are opposing in school curriculum.)

— State’s new ‘thought leader’ on equity focused on ‘long game:’ Moving Illinois from diversity to equity. Nearly three and a half months after joining Gov. J.B. Pritzker’s administration, Sekile Nzinga will get to put her theory into practice as head of a new office of equity that the governor plans to create Friday through an executive order. – Rachel Hinton
(DIERSEN: What does equity mean? For example, does it mean that the percentage of minorities, females, LGBTQers, etc. who pass the CPA and Certified Internal Auditor examinations on their first attempt must be the same percentage as those who are White, male, heterosexual, etc.? Does it mean that the percentage of minorities, females, LGBTQers, etc. who UIC, NIU, Loyola, DePaul, and IIT accept must be the same percentage as those who are White, male, heterosexual, etc.? Does it mean that the percentage of minorities, females, LGBTQers, etc. who the Post Office, Firestone Stores, IRS, and GAO hire and promote must be the same percentage as those who are White, male, heterosexual, etc.?)

(DIERSEN: During the 1990s, the Democrats who ran GAO used Republican-led budget cuts to get rid of the agency’s employees who were Republican, White, male, and/or non-veteran and who not made GS-13 (currently $102,188) by age 25, GS-14 (currently $120,755) by age 30, GS-15 (currently $142,041) by age 35, and Senior Executive Service (currently $172,500) by age 40.

That income also enabled me to buy a new 1972 Corvette in 1971 and to pay for tuition and books for graduate business courses at Loyola for the previous 9 months.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: There’s a point at which we simply cannot squeeze any more useful work out of ourselves, no matter how many more hours we put in. Studies show workers’ output falls sharply after about 48 hours a week, and those who put in more than 55 hours a week perform worse than those who put in a typical 9 to 5. Even during the pandemic, as work hours shot up, output stayed flat, which means productivity actually fell.)

(DIERSEN: GAO audits IRS. In 1980, when I was 31 years old, the Democrats who ran GAO forced me to take a $20,361 (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO, that is, a downgrade from GS-12 Step 5 to GS-9 Step 10. For the rest of my GAO career, my Democrat GAO superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates viciously used that against me big time. They hinted/implied/argued/shouted that the pay cut and downgrade showed that GAO considered the following to be worthless a) my having worked for IRS for almost 9 years, the last 5 1/2 years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 Levels (currently $85,935-$97,395/year, b) my having passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, c) my having earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976, and d) my almost having completed the requirements for a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul.)

SPRINGFIELD STATE JOURNAL REGISTER
— Free college, universal preschool among the goals for Pritzker in his bid for second term – Dean Olsen
(DIERSEN: Republicans should blast Pritzker for promoting dependency on government, dependency on charity, LGBTQ, abortion, mass/illegal immigration, booze, gambling, pot, and other vices, abolition of the First and Second Amendments, patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination.)
https://www.sj-r.com/story/news/2021/07/21/gov-pritzker-cutting-corporate-welfare-help-expand-education/8048035002/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Illinois Republican Party Chairman Don Tracy said in a statement that Pritzker’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic has been a failure. “Gov. Pritzker failed our most vulnerable in their time of need,” said Tracy, a Springfield resident. “When our children missed an entire year of in-person education, Pritzker was silent while political teachers unions forced children to stay home even when the science and CDC said they should be back in school. “When thousands of Illinoisans were laid off from work, they went weeks without help from Pritzker’s incompetent state unemployment agency,” Tracy said. “And when our nation’s elderly heroes needed protection from the virus in our state facilities, the tragic mistakes of the Pritzker administration led to the death of 36 veterans at LaSalle Veterans Home.”)

EVANSTON PATCH
— ‘White Victimhood’: Teacher’s Critical Race Theory Suit Condemned. Dozens of demonstrators gathered Tuesday at James Park to denounce a lawsuit filed last month by District 65 drama teacher Stacy Deemar. – Jonah Meadows
(DIERSEN: In 1971, when I was 22 years old, Oldsmobile withdrew a job offer that I had accepted saying that Oldsmobile had just agreed to stop hiring Whites to settle an EEOC complaint. In 1997, when I was 49 years old, my Democrat GAO superiors forced me to take their early retirement “offer” so that they could give my job and my preferred corner office to my Black subordinate, which they did. My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have no problem with the aforesaid. According to them, I should the price of Affirmative Action, Diversity, and Inclusion big time, that is, pay reparations big time, because I am White, male, healthy, draft avoider, non-poor, Protestant, 100% German American, conservative, Republican, married since 1978, and my ancestors have been in America since 1844.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: In official Washington, relaxed behaviors began to change on Tuesday following the discovery that vaccinated aides from the White House and Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s (D-Calif.) staff, along with vaccinated legislators from Texas visiting the nation’s capital, plus Rep. Vern Buchanan (R-Fla.), who was fully vaccinated early this year, all recently tested positive for COVID-19 with mild or no symptoms. Their infections are met with self-isolation, contact tracing to determine whether senior elected officials might be exposed, and lots and lots of testing. The infected-but-vaccinated can transmit the virus to others, including children and adults.)

— Tracking Viral Misinformation Times reporters will chronicle and debunk false and misleading information that is going viral online. – Davey Alba
(DIERSEN: According to my critics/opponents, all government and political news and commentary is misinformation except for the government and political news and commentary that they put out or bless. I should write a book about my critics/opponents. I would focus on those who focus on a) stopping me from sending out GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters and b) stopping everyone from reading those newsletters. I would focus on those who have taken the biggest adverse actions against me.)

— Black Unemployment Matters Just as Much as White Unemployment – William E. Spriggs
(DIERSEN: In 1971, when I was 22 years old, Oldsmobile withdrew a job offer that I had accepted saying that Oldsmobile had just agreed to stop hiring Whites to settle an EEOC complaint. In 1997, when I was 49 years old, my Democrat GAO superiors forced me to take their early retirement “offer” so that they could give my job and my preferred corner office to my Black subordinate, which they did.)

(DIERSEN: What is your life expectancy? According to Social Security Administration ( https://www.ssa.gov/oact/population/longevity.html ), my life expectancy is 86, or 13 more years. What are you going to do with the rest of your life? Unless my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes succeed in stopping me, I will continue to put together and send out GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters. I should write a book about my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes and the adverse actions that they have taken against me. Better yet, I should sue them.)

TECH CRUNCH
— Facebook onboards another 31 newsletter writers on Bulletin – Amanda Silberling
(DIERSEN: I should write a book about my direct competitors who do everything that they can to a) stop me from sending out GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters and b) stop everyone from reading those newsletters. I would focus on my direct competitors who paint themselves as being religious, conservative, and/or Republican, but who 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 in the Republican Party platform. I would focus on my direct competitors who disapprove of, if not despise, one or more of my demographics: White, male, old (born in 1948), baptized, raised, and confirmed as a Missouri Synod Lutheran, 100% German national origin, my ancestors have been in America since 1844, Crete resident 1948-1972, Wheaton resident since 1978, non-poor, draft avoider, heterosexual, married, childless, pet-less, conservative, patriotic, Republican, American, gun owner, federal employee for almost 30 years, federal retiree for almost 24 years, etc. I would focus on my direct competitors who destroy those like me they cannot manipulate/dominate, who refuse to glorify and praise them, who refuse to pander to them, who refuse to serve as one of their operatives or dupes, who refuse to cover-up their wrong doing, and/or who refuse to give them money.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Bulletin boasts a breadth of free content and contains minimal Facebook branding — it’s hosted on its own separate website, not the Facebook app. But newsletter writers can choose which content to put behind a paywall, which readers purchase access to, of course, via Facebook Pay. Newsletter subscribers might also gain access to subscriber-only Facebook groups, Live Audio Rooms and podcasts — so, Bulletin helps Facebook funnel subscribers into other products under its growing brand. But while Bulletin grows as a curated, invite-only platform for public figures that’s more exclusive than Raya, other platforms have struggled with the ethics of content moderation.)
