https://cnsnews.com/article/national/michael-w-chapman/cpac-honors-openly-gay-scott-presler-2021-ronald-reagan-award
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Although CPAC is the “conservative” action conference, it does not hesitate to recognize and promote homosexuality. In addition to honoring Scott Presler, CPAC, as it has done for many years, permitted the Log Cabin Republicans to exhibit their materials at the conference. The Log Cabin group is comprised of LGBT Republicans who want to “build a stronger, more inclusive Republican Party,” states its website. “LGBT Republicans and straight allies have chosen to transform the GOP from the inside, working to overcome the forces of exclusion and intolerance.” The group supported Donald Trump for president in 2020. Although the issue did not get a lot of press during President Trump’s term in office, it is no secret that he is a strong supporter of the LGBT community and made efforts to hire and promote homosexuals in the federal government. For instance, President Trump named Richard Grenell as ambassador to Germany. Grenell, who is gay, lives with his long-time partner Matt Lashey. Trump later promoted Grenell to acting director of the Office of National Intelligence. Grenell also served as Trump’s senior adviser on LGBTQ outreach, an initiative in 2020 called Trump Pride. On Twitter, Grenell praised Trump as “the most pro-gay president in American history.” Trump supports same-sex marriage. As president, he pushed a policy to help end the criminalization of homosexuality worldwide. He also made it possible for uninsured gays to get a pre-HIV medicine for free. In addition, Trump nominated lesbian Mary Rowland to the federal bench in Illinois; she was confirmed by the Senate. Trump judicial nominee Patrick Bumatay, who is gay, was confirmed by the Senate.)

Since 1953, my critics/opponents have painted me as being filthy rich because my father made enough money to send me to Trinity Lutheran Grade School in Crete 1953-1961 and then to Hope Lutheran Grade School in Park Forest 1961-1962 to stay with the Missouri Synod. He worked in the office of a nasty chemical plant in Chicago Heights. Neither of my outstanding parents attended college. My father was the first of his ancestors to earn a high school diploma. He almost always worked second jobs to pay the family’s bills. He did not buy a new car until he was 45 in 1967 and it was a bottom of the line 2-door Chevy. He died suddenly of heart failure in 1969. My mother never attended high school.)

GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletter readers will be watching closely to see how successful hate-filled Trump-hating Trump-haters in the IRP, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Milton Township Republican Organization will have in a) getting me to stop sending out my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters and b) getting everyone to stop reading those newsletters.

https://townhall.com/columnists/mattvespa/2021/03/02/the-one-wing-of-the-gop-that-keeps-embarrassing-itself-over-trump-n2585546
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The Trump wing won. It still amuses me to no end how some within the GOP and the media thinks there’s some debate about the future of the party going on. It’s a false narrative. In 2016, yes, there was a war. It was called the Republican primaries and Donald Trump emerged on top. Since then, the base has changed. The party has changed, and the people who simply don’t get it are Mitt Romney, Liz Cheney, Adam Kinzinger, and a few other losers who will never be elected president let alone clinch ten delegates in the GOP primaries. If you’re that weak, you can’t talk about shaping the party. It circles back to the simple question of what these few, very few, anti-Trumpers have to fear from Trumpism? Who’s afraid of Donald Trump that isn’t an unhinged progressive?)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Community college students often have children and part- or full-time jobs. Food and housing insecurity routinely derails them. And those challenges have been exacerbated by the public health and economic crisis. “For a lot of students, going to college is not possible if they don’t have access to child care, transportation,” Carmel Martin, deputy director for economic mobility on the White House Domestic Policy Council, said in an interview. “We need to ensure they can afford the tuition but also that they have the support to be successful and complete their program.” Community colleges often get less public funding than four-year colleges and universities. During his campaign, Biden proposed grants for colleges that enroll a high proportion of students from low-income families — an initiative akin to the anti-poverty Title I program for public schools. Biden has also called for more federal spending on workforce training, another idea that could boost community colleges.)

FORBES
— DIERSEN HEADLINE: Hate-filled Trump-hating Trump-haters crow about their success in getting Wheaton College a) to promote hatred against Trump and b) to promote hatred against those who do not hate Trump.
https://www.forbes.com/sites/michaeltnietzel/2021/03/01/these-christian-colleges-are-taking-on-todays-hot-button-social-issues/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: No recent example illustrates the willingness of CCCU colleges to speak out about political affairs and challenge the positions espoused by many evangelicals better than the recent statement signed by hundreds of staff and faculty at Wheaton College, rebuking former President Donald Trump for his role in the violent riot at the nation’s capital on January 6. (Full disclosure: I’m an alum of Wheaton.) The statement criticized President Trump for what it called “wicked leadership.” “The January 6 attack on the Capitol was characterized not only by vicious lies, deplorable violence, white supremacy, white nationalism, and wicked leadership—especially by President Trump—but also by idolatrous and blasphemous abuses of Christian symbols. The behaviors that many participants celebrated in Jesus’ name bear absolutely no resemblance to the Christian teachings or ethics that we submit to as faculty and staff of Wheaton College. Furthermore, the differential treatment displayed by those with a duty to protect in their engagement with rioters who trespassed on the Capitol grounds illegally, when compared to recent protests over police brutality in D.C. last summer, illustrates the ongoing reality that systemic racism in our country is tragically and undeniably alive and well. These realities are reprehensible. Our Christian faith demands shining a light on these evils and the simultaneous commitment to take appropriate action.” Nor was this the first time Wheaton faculty had sharply objected to Trump and the role of Evangelical leaders who have championed his policies. Ed Stetzer, Executive Director of Wheaton’s Billy Graham Center, called for a “reckoning” on Trump in a recent NPR interview with Rachel Martin. Responding to one question, Stetzer said, “I’ve been one for years who was saying we need to see more clearly who Donald Trump is and has often not been listened to. But I would say that for many people, the storming of the Capitol, the desecration of our halls of democracy, has shocked and stunned a lot of people and how President Trump has engaged in riling up crowds to accomplish these things.”)

How soon will the Democrats and RINOs who run the following officially make promoting LGBTQ a requirement to seek or hold a government or political office: your school district, your park district, your municipality, your township, your county, Illinois, America, your Republican township/ward party organization, your Republican county party organization, the Illinois Republican Party, and the Republican Party? I should write a book about those who focus on destroying those who do not promote LGBTQ.

Career-wise, my Good Old Days include 1986, 1987, and 1988 when my GAO mentor got me assigned to audits of IRS and promoted me to GS-13 (currently $102,188/year).

AMERICAN THINKER
— The Establishment GOP Still Does Not Understand the Patriot Movement…and Never Will – Laureen Lipsky (DIERSEN: Political parties exist to help elect candidates who can and will defend and advance their platform. The Republican Party platform is conservative. Establishment Republicans dominate the Republican Party, Illinois Republican Party, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, Milton Township Republican Organization, etc. Establishment Republicans are anti-conservative. Establishment Republicans reject some, most, if not all the planks in the Republican Party platform, most commonly, its traditional marriage/family, right to life, immigration, illegal drugs, Second Amendment, and/or equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) planks. Establish Republicans look down on, if not despise, if not hate those like me who support the aforesaid planks. Establishment Republicans blame those like me who support the aforesaid planks for all the losses that Republicans have suffered in Illinois, in DuPage County, in Milton Township, and in Wheaton.)

GAO hired me in 1980 because it could not find a qualified Democrat, minority, female, younger person, or veteran who would take the job. IRS hired me in 1971 because it could not find a qualified Democrat, minority, female, or veteran who would take the job. The Post Office hired me in 1966 because it could not find a qualified Democrat, minority, female, or veteran who would take the job. My Democrat superiors in the federal government did everything that they could to waste my career and to get rid of me. My plan for a career in the automotive industry ended in 1971 when Oldsmobile withdrew a job offer that I had accepted saying that Oldsmobile had just agreed to stop hiring Whites to settle an EEOC complaint. That directly resulted in my accepting a job offer from IRS.)

— The Long-Term Economic Costs of Lost Schooling. Students who are falling behind now because of Covid restrictions may never catch up in their skills, job prospects and income. – Jon Hilsenrath (DIERSEN: If I could do it over again, a) I would have focused more on getting good grades than earning money so that I could graduate from college debt-free, b) I would have majored in accounting at UIC and NIU instead of management, c) I would have earned my first master’s degree in accounting instead of business, d) I would have taken the CPA examination much sooner than I did, and e) I would have become a licensed CPA much sooner than I did. I did not start taking graduate accounting courses at DePaul until I was 27 in 1976. I did not take the CPA examination and pass it on my first attempt until I was 30 in 1979. I did not earn a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul until I was 31 in 1980. I did not become a licensed CPA until I was 32 in 1981.

— A wolf in sheep’s clothing … in Christianity’s evangelical heartland. The Islamic Center of Wheaton is an Islamist stronghold in the heartland of evangelical Christianity, promoting anti-Western and anti-Semitic ideologies among Muslim Americans. – Hesham Shehab
https://onenewsnow.com/perspectives/guest-commentary/2021/02/25/a-wolf-in-sheeps-clothing-in-christianitys-evangelical-heartland
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Wheaton, Illinois, is home to Wheaton College, which is dubbed the “Harvard of Christian schools” in America. The city also boasts of 73 churches, supporting its claim to be the town with the “second most churches per capita in America.” But when the First Assembly of God lost its mortgage in 2013, the Islamic Center of Wheaton (ICW) paid $3.15 million for the seven-acre property and moved into the building – creating a hotbed for Islamic extremism in the middle of America’s evangelical epicenter. Being the first mosque ever to set roots in the town where America’s most prominent Christian evangelist Billy Graham went to seminary, ICW raised a lot of interest in the community. On its first “Open Mosque Day,” it attracted 250 people, mainly Christians and students from Wheaton College who enjoyed the hospitality of the new worship center. “We want to present a positive image of an Islamic center …. We just want to be a good neighbor …,” ICW president and spokesman Dr. Abraham Antar told the Chicago Tribune in late 2013. Yet, Wheaton families of any religion – including the suburb’s diverse Muslim community – should question the rosy image that Antar seeks to project. ICW’s leaders belong to Islamist organizations that stem from extremist, often violent movements based in the Middle East and South Asia. In-house guides For example, Antar himself is an “active volunteer” with two Islamist groups (the Muslim American Society [MAS] and the Chicago chapter of the Islamic Circle of North America [ICNA]) that have openly declared their allegiance to foreign extremists. Moreover, his wife Zahra was a speaker at a 2016 convention in Chicago jointly hosted by the same organizations. (See sidebar) It doesn’t stop there. Ibrahim Dardasawi, the imam of ICW, is a frequent guest at Islamist conventions in Chicago, including events sponsored by MAS-ICNA and American Muslims for Palestine, an anti-Israel nonprofit accused of providing a “platform for anti-Semitism.” For years, Dardasawi has “blessed” these conventions with his mellow voice in recitations of the Quran and Nasheeds (Islamic songs). While Dardasawi mainly leads prayers and delivers sermons at ICW, the vice president of the mosque – Sheikh Omer Haqqani – is more active in public outreach, interfaith relations, and youth education behalf of the mosque. Sadly, Haqqani may not be offering mentorship that helps young Muslims at ICW integrate with the community. He is a graduate of India’s fundamentalist Darul Uloom Nadwatul Ulama, also known as Nadwa. (See sidebar). In any case, it is unclear what Haqqani teaches Muslim youth about their Christian neighbors and Islam. When asked during an interview about the books he uses for religious education at ICW, Haqqani refused to answer, possibly because the mosque curriculum draws upon the same radical theories espoused by his alma mater. Outside guides In addition to its radical leadership, Wheaton’s only mosque also plays host to extremist guest speakers. Locals visiting the worship center might chance upon Islamists such as Sabri Samirah, who presented a Friday sermon, or khutbah, at ICW in 2015. Samirah is a well-known Muslim Brotherhood leader in Jordan, and the former chairman of a pro-Hamas nonprofit shuttered in 2004 because of its role in financing international terrorism. His invitation to preach at ICW further reveals the mosque’s radical ideological identity. Indeed, Samirah’s appearance followed 11 years of exile after he was designated a security threat by U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Services. Furthermore, Wheaton evangelists visiting ICW should be wary of the missionizing purpose behind its “Open Mosque” days. These events are often sponsored by GainPeace, an ICNA offshoot that whitewashes militant jihad in early Islamic history and misinforms non-Muslims. In a nationwide billboard campaign, GainPeace sought to ensure Christians that Muslims honor Jesus as a respected and revered prophet. However, less-public GainPeace training materials slander the Christian understanding of Jesus as rooted in paganism and “sketchy biographical material, poorly researched and compiled.” Successfully misguiding Nevertheless, there are signs that ICW’s propagandist teachings may be working. It’s apparent the Chicago suburb remains ignorant of the Islamic center’s radical agenda – as indicated by a Wheaton College professor who violated the school’s spiritual principles in 2015 by declaring that Muslims and Christians worship the same god, and other faculty who delivered flowers to ICW and begged “repentance for the ways in which evangelicals have abused Muslims.” It’s a pity that (Milton) Township, which boasts one of the most diverse Muslim refugee populations in the U.S., only has the Islamic Center of Wheaton – a proverbial wolf in sheep’s clothing – for its Muslim immigrants. The mosque promotes intolerance, anti-Semitism, and victimhood, ultimately hindering the integration of the new Muslim generations into the American community. To be a good neighbor to and a positive influence on these refugee families – as Dr. Abraham Antar declared years ago – ICW should revoke its affiliation with extremist organizations and cleanse its leadership ranks of Islamist elements. Otherwise, Wheaton’s only mosque should be exposed and discredited as a radical institution incapable of assimilation.

EPOCH TIMES
— FRONT PAGE: Conservatives Flock to Grassroots GOP Positions to Push Party Reform – PETR SVAB (DIERSEN: Political parties exist to help elect candidates who can and will defend and advance their platform. The Republican Party platform is conservative. Far too many Republican activists, candidates, elected officials, party leaders, major donors, political consultants, etc. reject the traditional marriage/family, right to life, immigration, illegal drugs, Second Amendment, and/or equal opportunity (no race of gender based preference giving) planks in the Republican Party platform, that is, far too many of the aforesaid are RINOs if not anti-conservatives. Republicans who support Trump do so despite concerns/disappointments because he has done more than any Republican president since Reagan to defend and advance the Republican Party platform.)
https://www.theepochtimes.com/conservatives-flock-to-grassroots-gop-positions-to-push-party-reform_3699351.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Conservatives across the country are applying for local Republican official positions in a bid to reform the party. Some feel a major part of the party establishment consists of “Republicans in name only,” or RINOs, who no longer represent their voter base. The movement aims to fill the many vacant positions of precinct committee officers. Those involved in the effort estimate that roughly 400,000 of these jobs exist nationwide, with half or more empty, although the precise number is hard to determine since the GOP doesn’t publish overall data. These grassroots positions wield significant power and influence. Either directly or through electors and delegates, they elect state GOP leaders as well as a state’s delegation to the Republican National Committee (RNC), which then elects the national party leadership. They are also commonly drawn upon to fill election oversight positions, such as poll observers and ballot signature verification monitors. Some local party committees also endorse primary candidates and may organize get-out-the-vote efforts for a particular candidate. Interest in the committee positions surged in recent weeks after the topic was picked up by several conservative writers and personalities, and began to spread on social media. The general sentiment of the movement is that Republicans need to get more actively involved in politics and demand that their party and its candidates faithfully represent their values. The idea of virtually taking over the Republican Party through filling vacant precinct positions has long been advocated by Arizona lawyer Dan Schultz. Since at least 2009, he’s produced a book, a website, and numerous articles and videos on the subject and sought to influence the party’s movers and shakers, with limited success. The major breakthrough appears to have come on Feb. 6, when Steve Bannon, a former adviser to President Donald Trump, hosted Schultz on his talk show. Interest then started to snowball, with several articles in small conservative outlets and further appearances on Bannon’s show, Schultz told The Epoch Times.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: But the measure received strong pushback from conservatives, with critics arguing that it could infringe on religious liberties, could lead to taxpayer-funded abortion. They have also taken issue with its language allowing transgender women to take part in women’s sports. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) forcing two motion to vacate procedural votes, arguing that members needed “some time to think about how they’re going to vote on the Equality Act, but because the Equality Act, truly destroys women’s sports and women’s rights.” Rep. Chip Roy (R-Texas) vowed to fight it in the courts if it is signed into law, arguing it is unconstitutional and blasting Democrats for opting not to have the bill go through the committee process. “The definition of sex in HR 5 inserts the right to abortion into the Civil Rights Act, the Equality Act could be used to force a universal right to abortion until birth, it forces medical professionals to conduct or assist in performing abortions and perform certain surgeries, administer hormone blockers even if it is against their medical advice, forces employers to cover sexual assignment surgeries, forces schools, hospitals, and businesses to recognize a chosen gender. I can go down the list, but this is about power and control,” he said on the floor. Major companies like AT&T, Bank of America, Chevron, CVS, and General Motors support the passage of the legislation and are part of Human Rights Campaign’s Business Coalition.)

Newman tweeted a video of herself putting up the flag so that Taylor Greene “can look at it every time she opens her door.” That prompted Taylor Greene to post a similar video of herself putting up a sign on the wall across the hall from Newman that reads, “There are TWO genders MALE & FEMALE. ‘Trust the science!’”)

History shows that boosting the minimum wage leads to consumer spending. – Colleen Doody (DIERSEN: During the 1960s, if the minimum wage had been $15/hour in today’s dollars, in 1966, I would have bought a new loaded Pontiac GTO to commute to classes at UIC from my parents’ home in Crete, instead of the new Pontiac Tempest Sprint that I bought. I washed dishes for the minimum wage in the basement of the S.S. Kreseges in Chicago Heights during my junior and senior years and the summer in between at Crete-Monee High School.)

— How Judges’ Work Experience Can Impact Court Rulings — And Legal Precedent – CARRIE JOHNSON (DIERSEN: What is your work experience? Everyone should know everyone’s work experience. My critics/opponents badmouth my work experience. I worked for GAO as an Analyst for almost 18 years, the last 11 years of which at the GS-13 Step 1-10 Levels, currently $102,188-$132,845/year. I worked for IRS as a Revenue Officer 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. I passed the CPA and Certified Internal Auditor examinations on my first attempt.)
https://www.nprillinois.org/post/how-judges-work-experience-can-impact-court-rulings-and-legal-precedent#stream/0
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Judges with backgrounds as prosecutors or corporate lawyers, who represent the majority of federal district court jurists, are significantly more likely to rule in favor of employers in workplace disputes, according to a new study of diversity on the bench. Emory University law professor Joanna Shepherd conducted the study, which she described as the first published research about whether judges from certain professional backgrounds are more likely to rule against workers. Shepherd concluded that judges appointed by former President Barack Obama with corporate backgrounds are 36% less likely to rule on behalf of employees. Obama judges who have a background as prosecutors are 50% less likely to decide in favor of employees in those cases compared with non-prosecutors, she reported. Her work received some financial support from the group Demand Justice, which advocates for progressive judicial nominees. The new findings come as advocates push for greater professional diversity among President Biden’s presumptive judicial nominees. Former prosecutors and corporate lawyers make up nearly 7 in 10 judges on the federal district courts, which consider lawsuits over employment, immigration, the environment and other topics.
“Our results suggest that expanding the professional diversity of the federal judiciary will do more than just create a judiciary that is more representative of the legal profession,” Shepherd said. “It can affect actual case outcomes and, as a result, the development of legal precedent.”)
