My Democrat GAO superiors were vehemently anti-union. GAO did not unionize until 2007. If GAO had been unionized in 1997, I might still be a GAO employee.)

— Union or Woke Activist Group? New York Times Employees Raise Questions About Guild’s Role in Recent Dismissals – Aaron Sibarium
https://freebeacon.com/media/union-or-woke-activist-group-new-york-times-employees-raise-questions-about-guilds-role-in-recent-dismissals/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: “Journalists are not expendable,” the New York Times Guild declared in July. “Employers are attempting to undermine our collective strength and security.” But not every member of the Guild believes the union is practicing what it preaches. The union’s handling of star science reporter Donald McNeil’s recent “resignation,” according to several current and former Times staffers, is the latest indication that the Guild has been hijacked by a group of woke activists that is not only reluctant to defend unpopular members—but which frequently pressures management to fire them. “The people I’m supposed to go to if I have a problem with management are the same ones who might try to get me fired,” one union member told the Washington Free Beacon. “The union is the last place I would go for support.” It seems counterintuitive for a union, designed explicitly to protect workers and ensure managers do not apply standards capriciously, to weigh in against its own members. The Guild has done so by exploiting provisions in U.S. labor law that protect workers who voice concerns about workplace “safety” — and which help unions force out those who “harm” that safety.)

— New Chairman Takes Control Of Missouri Republican Party That’s Riding High – Jason Rosenbaum (DIERSEN: Comparing Missouri with Illinois says a lot.)
https://news.stlpublicradio.org/government-politics-issues/2021-02-11/new-chairman-takes-control-of-missouri-republican-party-thats-riding-high
(FROM THE ARTICLE: For newly elected Missouri Republican Party Chairman Nick Myers, his primary goal as leader of the state GOP is pretty simple. “My goal is to elect Republicans,” Myers said. Myers, a certified public accountant from Newton County and longtime party insider, said Missouri Republicans are well positioned to defend a U.S. Senate seat and capture the state auditor’s office next year. And based on the party’s off-the-charts performance in rural and exurban counties, those hopes appear within reach. Missouri Republicans have had four good election cycles in a row — most recently 2020, in which the party swept key statewide races and faced minimal losses to its supermajorities in the Missouri General Assembly. There are plenty of theories behind Republican ascendency, including capturing bellwether areas like Jefferson County or historically Democratic turf in northeast and southeast Missouri. Myers points to how Missouri voters tend to be more conservative and are therefore more responsive to a party that embraces right-of-center ideas. “I think that the Republican Party on the platform, and in general principles, is in sync with Missourians,” Myers said. “And when Missourians understand what the Republican platform and principles are, they will come out and vote for that.”)

https://townhall.com/columnists/ilanamercer/2021/02/12/rising-republican-rotters-to-look-out-for-n2584640
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Political pygmy Adam Kinzinger was another young GOPer to rush onto the “enemedia” to announce his hackneyed vision for reclaiming the GOP from the deforming clutches of Trump and MAGA America. Last month, Kinzinger voted to impeach President Trump. He further swelled the chorus by announcing that “the Republican Party had lost its way. If we are to lead again, we need to muster the courage to remember who we are.” So original. So inspirational. “We need to remember what we believe and why we believe it,” Kinzinger continued. “Looking in the mirror can be hard, but the time has come to choose what kind of party we will be, and what kind of future we’ll fight to bring about.” (CNN) With his Country First initiative, Kinzinger evinces his inability to comprehend that, for him, the “Country” ought to comprise of his constituents, the people he represents. It is the lead of his constituents that Kinzinger is obliged to follow, not his own political métier. Kinzinger is a spawn of the military. While we’re at it, let us dispatch for once and for all of the conservative mythology surrounding the philosophical fabric of the military, these days (in Kinzinger’s case the reserve). Isn’t it obvious the military is becoming a morass of leftism, statism, feminism, reverse-racism, interventionism, propositionalism, and other poisonous creeds? If nothing else, the Trump years have made it clear that the military brass has aligned with the Left.)

From what I see, about 4 out of 5 homebuyers in my neighborhood, in my precinct, in Wheaton’s West District, in Wheaton, in Milton Township, in DuPage County’s 4th District, and in DuPage County are Democrats. Ever-increasingly, it seems like realtors are steering Democrats into my neighborhood, into my precinct, into Wheaton’s West District, into Wheaton, into Milton Township, into DuPage County’s 4th District, and into DuPage County. Ever-increasingly, Democrats make it clear that they hate Republicans.)

USA TODAY
— Driving traffic to your business online is as easy as … well, buying it! – Steve Strauss (DIERSEN: I should write a book about those who talk and/or act like they do not want GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters to drive traffic to their websites.

I would focus on those 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 those who focus on a) stopping me from sending out GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters and b) stopping everyone from reading those newsletters.

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Sure, getting organic traffic to your website is desirable, but let’s face it – creating great content, then optimizing it for search engines, posting it on social media, and waiting for results takes time. There is a better, faster way. Buy traffic. To the purist, buying traffic to grow a site might seem like cheating, but it’s not. It’s smart. Does Coca-Cola advertise? You bet. What about McDonald’s? Yep. Microsoft? Of course. Most businesses that have exploded in size have done so with the help of advertising, and that is all paid traffic is – the placement of ads around the web that people click and which then drives them to your site. There are five ways you can buy traffic online:)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: The fastest way we’ve found to pinpoint the extent of these problems is to conduct a quick pulse survey of your employees. If done correctly, within a week, you could have actionable insight pinpointing the extent of your issues and exactly where (departments, shifts, etc.) they’re occurring. What questions should you ask your employees? I recommend using some of the survey questions contained in the Leadership IQ discrimination study. For example, one of the most important questions you can ask is, “Management at my organization listens to employee concerns about discrimination (race, sex/gender, age, etc.) without blame or defensiveness.”)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Rep. Marcy Kaptur, D-Ohio, complained in a recent interview with The Hill that she feels like a minority in her own party. Kaptur shared data showing that 19 of the 20 wealthiest congressional districts in the country are now represented by Democrats, and she quoted unnamed Democratic colleagues whose callous comments reflected a complete lack of sympathy for or understanding of blue-collar Americans. And it isn’t just working-class whites who feel they are being left behind by Democrats. Blacks and Hispanics voted Republican in much larger numbers in 2020. Republicans see this as something of an opportunity. Immediately after the November election, House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., said, “This election cycle has made one thing clear: The Republican Party is now the party of the American worker.”)

— FRONT PAGE TOP OF FOLD IN NAPERVILLE SUN: Dispute over how GOP chose Naperville Township candidates results in two slates on ballot, court fight – SUZANNE BAKER
https://www.chicagotribune.com/suburbs/naperville-sun/ct-nvs-naperville-township-ballot-lawsuit-st-0210-20210209-xwpvrl37mvamzedhbfn4nehjyq-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Ballots cannot be altered to remove names because they are being prepared in advance of early voting, which starts Feb. 25. The controversy centers on accusations from 17 township residents who say the Republican caucus held virtually Dec. 1 via the internet-based platform Zoom was neither fair nor honest, which is why they held their own caucus instead. Republican organization Chairman Jim Ruhl said the decision to host the caucus via Zoom was made so that anyone, including older people and those who fearful of going out in public because of the coronavirus pandemic, could participate. To provide more flexibility, Republicans who are not internet savvy had the option of calling in by phone, he said. “We did not want to disenfranchise any voter,” Ruhl said. “We chose Zoom for the health and well-being of everyone.” At a meeting a month before the caucus, the organization agreed to slate candidates for the two township positions held by Republicans now: the seats of Assessor Warren Dixon III and Trustee Paul Santucci, he said. Dixon plans to step down and asked Matthew Rasche to run as his replacement; Santucci is seeking reelection. Both candidates were approved during the organization’s virtual caucus Dec. 1. The other set of candidates was selected the same night in the parking lot outside the Naperville Township offices on Water Street in Naperville. They include Lynda Segneri for supervisor, Barbara Lukoff for clerk, Gary Vician for assessor, and Thomas Laz, Gabby Serna and Bill Breyne for the three open trustee seats. That slate was not certified by the township clerk nor forwarded to the county clerk so the candidates filed a lawsuit to have their names listed on the ballot. Attorney Keri-Lyn Krafthefer, who represents the plaintiffs, said 17 Republican voters showed up at the Naperville Township offices Dec. 1 for the caucus. When they were denied in-person access to the meeting, they caucused outside in the parking lot, Krafthefer said. Their lawsuit contends there is no provision in state law that permits a caucus election to be conducted electronically. Vician said a caucus is essentially a primary election, and elections are held in person, not virtually. Caucusing in person allows everyone to have a voice and speak freely, he said. “You really can’t do that on a Zoom call,” Vician said. “In a Zoom meeting, you can be silenced (through muting or ignoring someone who raises their hand).” Rather than decide which slate of candidates should be on the April 6 ballot, DuPage Judge James McCluskey ruled everyone would be listed for the consolidated election. In a written ruling explanation issued Friday, McCluskey said the Zoom caucus was “not properly conducted in a fair and honest manner.” The judge said he agreed with the plaintiffs’ argument that the Zoom caucus was held “in blatant contravention to the Township Code and the Governor’s Executive Order 2020-73 which exempts Township Caucuses from electronic means.” Gov. J.B. Pritzker’s Nov. 18 coronavirus mitigation order to which the judge referred was interpreted differently by the two sides. Krafthefer said the governor’s executive order “does not apply to the December 2020 township caucuses,” which means caucuses can be held in person as required by state law. But Ruhl said the Republican organization was following the governor’s directive. The same order a few sentences later says, “Nothing in this Executive Order prohibits caucuses from being held virtually, and caucus organizers are encouraged to facilitate virtual attendance, to convene outdoors, and must adhere to all Social Distancing Requirements.” Ruhl said he’s not sure when the appellate court will rule, though he expects a decision will be made before April 6 when votes are counted.)

If it leads to something else, so be it, I’m at peace. But right now, the battle is to save the soul of this party.” As for LaSalle County Republicans censuring him last week and the state GOP saying it “disagrees” with Kinzinger’s views, Kinzinger said, “I prefer not to be censured, but I really, really will not lose an ounce of sleep if I am. Not even an ounce.” (DIERSEN: Ever-increasingly, not only hate-filled Trump-hating Trump-haters, but also hate-filled conservative-hating conservative-haters are using Kinzinger to destroy the Republican Party.)

Ms. Bustos, who led the House Democrats’ campaign arm in 2020, had margins of victory that shrunk from 24 percentage points in 2018 to four points in 2020.

I would focus on Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct since 2000, their major donors, their political consultants, their campaign managers, their campaign staff members, and their campaign volunteers. I would focus on those who claim to be religious, conservative, and/or Republican and have/had lots of religious, government, political, and/or financial clout in Illinois, DuPage County, Milton Township, and/or Wheaton since 2000.)

https://abc7chicago.com/health/post-covid-19-brain-symptoms-may-be-common-study-indicates/10323751/?cmp=emc-wls-news-headlines-2/9/2021
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Problems remembering names and conversations, difficulty paying attention, and slower processing speeds — these are all symptoms that people are experiencing post-COVID-19 infections. A new University of California, San Francisco study indicates these brain-related symptoms may be quite common. . .Dr. Hellmuth recently published a study that shows 20% of her the participants had persistent cognitive symptoms after COVID infections. “These problems seem to be quite common.” She says her study was based on 100 patients, none of whom had been hospitalized. Their ages ranged from 35-56 and the median age was 39. “Surviving from COVID is great, but we now need to be also thinking about the long term impacts to society, if we have millions of people who are no longer able to contribute in the workplace like they used to.”)

CRAIN’S CHICAGO BUSINESS
— After Capitol riots, can Republicans still count on corporate Chicago for cash? “A lot of companies are keeping their powder dry for a while,” says one GOP fundraiser. “Every PAC I’ve talked to says they’re going to reassess.” – GREG HINZ (DIERSEN: He who pays the piper calls the tunes. How many major donors hint/imply/argue/shout that the more that is done to get rid of Trump-supporters, the more money that they will give? 2,446,891 in Illinois voted for Trump, 193,611 in DuPage County voted for Trump, 20,080 in Milton Township voted for Trump, and 157 in my precinct voted for Trump.)
https://www.chicagobusiness.com/greg-hinz-politics/after-capitol-riots-can-republicans-still-count-corporate-chicago-cash
(FROM THE ARTICLE: “A lot of companies are keeping their powder dry for a while,” says fundraiser Lisa Wagner, who works for an A-list of Republican officials. “Every PAC I’ve talked to says they’re going to reassess.” Wagner says corporations are under more pressure today to justify their political giving and that recent decisions to reassess after the Capitol riot ought to be viewed in that light. Going the furthest at this point is Northern Trust. “Recent political events require that the (company’s) PACs now consider additional criteria prior to making a political contribution,” the bank said in a statement. “The PACs now will exclude from future consideration any members of the U.S. Congress who voted against acceptance of the Electoral College vote results following the events of Jan. 6.” In Illinois, that would affect two GOP House members, downstaters Mary Miller and Mike Bost, who were among 138 House Republicans to vote to reject reported election results from Pennsylvania. Slightly less extensive are decisions made by firms including Exelon, Abbott, Kraft Heinz, Mondelez International, and Aon. Following previously announced decisions by McDonald’s, Discover, State Farm, Allstate and Boeing, they’ve temporarily halted donations to federal candidates. “Following the January riot at the U.S. Capitol, we immediately suspended all corporate and organized employee contribution (through our political action committee) to federal representatives at least through the end of the first quarter,” Mondelez said in a statement.)

GAO audits IRS. I started with GAO as an Analyst in 1980 when I was 31 years old. I brought with me almost 9 years of experience working for IRS, the last 5 1/2 years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 Levels, currently $85,935-$97,395/year. I had passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979. I had earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976. Nevertheless, my Democrat GAO superiors forced me to take a $20,361/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer. I earned a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980. I passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981. I became a licensed CPA in 1981. In 1986, the GAO manager who hired me finally succeeded in getting me assigned to audits of IRS and promoting me to GS-13, currently $102,188/year. But my Democrat GAO superiors forced him to retire in 1987 and threw me off audits of IRS in 1988. Nevertheless, I became a Certified Fraud Examiner in 1990, Certified Government Financial Manager in 1994, Certified Financial Services Auditor in 1996, and Forensic Accountant in 1997. I earned a master’s degree in financial markets and trading from IIT in 1997. Nevertheless, my Democrat GAO superiors succeeded in forcing me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years old.)

As COO, Siggerud oversees all of the 700 to 800 reports GAO generates each year.)

https://www.chicagobusiness.com/greg-hinz-politics/illinois-gop-surprisingly-peaceful-start-new-leader
(FROM THE ARTICLE: “It was very professional and pleasant,” said GOP State Central Committeeman Roger Claar, the former mayor of Bolingbrook and an early Trump supporter in Illinois. “No one was arguing. I am very surprised with how it went.” . . . “The upcoming election cycle can be monumental if we seize on the tremendous opportunities before us,” said Tracy in a statement, referring to expected re-election bids by Gov. J.B. Pritzker and U.S. Sen. Tammy Duckworth, and other contests. “The only way we can capitalize on these opportunities in 2022 is if we unite the party. My No. 1 priority is to give very Republican a seat at the table and every Republican a voice.” Easier said than done. “If I knew how to (unite the party) I would have run,” quipped Claar. And Tracy has not been able for an interview to detail his plans, such as whether Shaw will have a role, how the party will replace a generation of longtime leaders that now is retiring or how the organization will revive fund-raising that to a large degree has stalled since Rauner left office.)

Ron Johnson, Wisconsin Republican, said Sunday he worries that keeping the fencing around the U.S. Capitol is meant to send a message that Trump supporters “are all insurrectionists.” “I think the fencing is remaining in place to send a signal, a narrative that 74 million Americans that voted for President Trump are dangerous to our democracy, they’re all insurrectionists,” said Mr. Johnson on Fox’s “Sunday Morning Futures.” “And that’s simply not the case.” Frustration over the fencing is building, at least on the Republican side. A Friday letter from 42 House Republicans urged House Speaker Nancy Pelosi to “remove the barbed wire fencing surrounding the Capitol and send the National Guard troops home to their families.” “Let us be clear. The events that happened on January 6 were horrific. Understandably, certain increased security measures following that date were implemented,” said the letter led by Rep. Ted Budd, North Carolina Republican. “But it is time for Congress and its representatives to stop hiding.”)

— The Pendulum Will Swing
https://americanfreepress.net/the-pendulum-will-swing/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Donald Trump has stumbled and fallen, and the establishment is not going to let slip this last opportunity to stomp him and his movement to death. A month ago, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi issued a startling ultimatum: Either Vice President Mike Pence and the Trump Cabinet invoke the 25th Amendment, declare the president “unfit” for office, and remove him within 24 hours, or House Democrats will vote to impeach him again. Such is the blind hatred of Pelosi’s House for Donald Trump. Rep. James Clyburn of South Carolina suggested holding off sending a bill of impeachment to the Senate for 100 days to give Biden a chance to get his appointees confirmed, and then indict and convict Mr. Trump of sedition when he is a private citizen. What would be the purpose of impeaching a president who hasn’t been president for three months? Answer: A conviction would strip Republicans of the right to reelect the man who got the largest number of votes in their party’s history. House Democrats want veto power over whom Republicans can nominate. And this is the crowd that does not cease to bray about its devotion to “democracy.”)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: A Republican leader has decided to take on Big Tech. It’s high time. While other Republican legislators complain and pontificate about Twitter, Facebook and Google’s interference in our elections and censoring of conservative voices, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has declared war on the tech giants. DeSantis is proposing legislation that asks the Florida state legislature to impose stiff fines – up to $100,000 per day – on tech companies that “deplatform” political candidates running for office in his state. Candidates like, for instance, Donald Trump. Calling the tech giants “enforcers of preferred narratives” whose interests are “not in the public interest,” DeSantis, a Republican, wants to “ensure the protection of the people and their rights.” His proposed bill would allow individuals and the Florida attorney general to sue firms that violate newly established safeguards against privacy violations and censorship.)

According to a person familiar with his thinking, Johnson is leaning toward launching a bid, motivated by Kinzinger’s vote to impeach Trump and his overall opposition to the former Republican president. Kinzinger has said he is at peace with the possibility that he could lose re-election over his Trump stance and launched a political-action committee to support fellow anti-Trump Republicans.)

Potential employers did not believe that my financial hardship draft deferment application to support my mother and brother in Crete would be approved. Further, potential employers were under tremendous pressure to hire minorities, females, and veterans. Consequently, I took the only job offer that got — retail sales manager for the Firestone Store in Chicago Heights. The job did not really require a college degree. Constructively, I was the store’s showroom salesman. Advancement opportunities were limited and slow. The store’s manager did not approve of my demographics (draft avoider, German-American, and Protestant). He never would have hired me, but Firestone Stores headquarters forced him to take me.)

FOX NEWS
— Study dismissing conservative concerns about Big Tech bias was funded by far-left Biden mega-donor. Billionaire Craig Newmark gave millions to Poynter Institute, which published ‘blacklist’ of conservative sites in 2019. – Brian Flood (DIERSEN: I should write a book about those who blacklist me and blacklist my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters. I would focus on those who have lots of religious, government, political, and/or financial clout in Wheaton’s West District, Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County’s 4th District, DuPage County, and Illinois. I would focus on Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct who have lost elections, their major donors, their political consultants, their campaign managers, their campaign staff members, and their campaign volunteers. I would focus on those who I have sued.)
https://www.foxnews.com/media/study-dismissing-conservative-concerns-big-tech-bias-funded-joe-biden-mega-donor
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Poynter, which operates PolitiFact, infamously published a blacklist of 515 websites it deemed “unreliable” in 2019. The overwhelming majority were conservative, and it encouraged advertisers to not support them. Poynter ultimately apologized for the report, which was penned by an employee of the far-left Southern Poverty Law Center. Newmark has also called on Big Tech platforms to “take action” against “bad actors” online. “The social media platform[s] know who the bad actors are. They know who the foreign adversaries are, they know who their domestic allies are,” Newmark said on the Digiday podcast last year. “They should take action against all of them.” Conservatives have accused social media platforms of everything from shadow banning them to restricting free speech. Former Facebook employees admitted in 2016 to restricting news stories of interest to conservative readers from its “trending” section, and Big Tech employees have overwhelmingly favored Democrats in their political donations.)

Rodney Davis of Illinois told the officers, outraged, when stopped at the door.)

February 2 Morning Edition

POLITICO ILLINOIS
— The Illinois Republican Party is at an inflection point that’s gone beyond the urban vs. rural debate. Now the state party, like its national counterpart, must decide whether it’s in lockstep with former President Donald Trump and his loyal supporters or head down a path that’s more inclusive. The direction it takes will be determined in large part on Saturday, when the state Republican Central Committee selects its next chairman. Current leader Tim Schneider is stepping down after five years in the position. A critical litmus test in replacing Schneider may be the candidates’ views of Rep. Adam Kinzinger and his vote to support Trump’s impeachment. Do they want to censure the 16th District congressman, as some Republicans have called for? Or do they agree to disagree with him, as Schneider has done. Mark Shaw, the Lake County Republican Party chairman who represents the more conservative arm of the party, has talked about censure with Republicans but told Playbook he hasn’t yet decided to take a public stand on the issue. “I have not taken a position yet on whether U.S. Rep. Adam Kinzinger should be admonished by the Republican Party for his actions and/or comments,” he said in a text. He would not elaborate on his thoughts about Kinzinger’s vote. Shaw is supported by former congressional candidate Jim Oberweis and grassroots conservatives, and he’s also taken heat from pro-Trumpers like Catalina Lauf, centrist state Sen. Sue Rezin, and others. Lauf and Rezin have taken issue with Shaw for endorsing Oberweis in the IL-14 GOP primary weeks before petitions were filed. That Shaw would engineer a campaign in a contested primary to favor a white man over a respected female state senator (Rezin) and a pro-Trump Latina (Lauf) has infuriated many Republicans across the state. Rezin wrote a letter to party leaders in November complaining about Shaw’s actions. And Lauf tweeted over the weekend, saying, “We need a leader who will listen to those on the ground, committed to grassroots, and who can actually lead the GOP in this State on a path forward.” The other candidates applying for state GOP chair say they don’t support Kinzinger’s impeachment vote but they also don’t back censure. “I strongly disagree with Congressman Kinzinger’s vote…but I also oppose an Illinois GOP censure of him,” former Illinois Gaming Board exec Don Tracy told Playbook. Tracy is a downstate Republican who has support from grassroots conservatives as well as centrists. He’s backed by Congressman Darin LaHood and Rodney Davis, state House Minority Leader Jim Durkin, and conservative voice John Tillman. Kendall County Board Chairman Scott Gryder, who has the support of state Rep. Keith Wheeler, echoed Tracy, saying, “We as a party need to focus on what unifies us which is electing candidates that support our small businesses, fight for the middle class, promote transparency in government and fight corruption.” – SHIA KAPOS and MARIA CARRASCO

She’s worked for numerous Republican officials here, most considered political moderates.)

https://wgnradio.com/news/technology-news/google-antes-up-2-6m-to-settle-pay-job-discrimination-case/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The settlement announced Monday closes a 4-year-old case that the Labor Department brought as part its periodic reviews of the pay practices at federal government contractors such as Google. That inquiry resulted in accusations that during a period spanning from 2014 to 2017, Google paid female engineers less than men in similar positions. The pay discrepancies were cited in several Google offices in its home state of California, as well as at locations in Seattle and Kirkland, Washington. Google had fiercely contested the allegations as unfounded before reaching the settlement without acknowledging any wrongdoing.)

GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— The 18 members of the Illinois Republican Party (IRP) State Central Committee (SCC) run the IRP. How do you want them to respond to Kinzinger? Who do you want them to select to be the next IRP Chairman?

All IRP SCC votes must be weighted. Chapin Rose’s (District 15) weighted vote is 16.11%. Mike Bigger’s (District 18) weighted vote is 11.49%. Laura Pollastrini’s (District 14) weighted vote is 9.64%.

Fred Floreth’s (District 13) weighted vote is 7.07%. Jan Weber’s (District 17) weighted vote is 5.75%. Roger Claar’s (District 11) weighted vote is 4.40%. The remaining 9 IRP SCC members have a combined weighted vote of 21.41% ranging from 0.87% to 3.29%.

The IRP SCC is scheduled to meet this Saturday.

If the 18 IRP SCC members surveyed the Republican County Party Chairmen in their congressional district, what response do you believe they would get?

If the 102 Republican County Party Chairmen surveyed the Chairmen of the Republican township and ward organizations in their county, what response do you believe they would get?

BREITBART
— DePaul University Black Student Union Demands Segregated ‘Safe Spaces’ – ALANA MASTRANGELO (DIERSEN: Ever-increasingly, hate-filled White-hating White-haters use the Capitol Riot to promote hatred against Whites. I earned a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980.)
https://www.breitbart.com/tech/2021/02/01/depaul-u-black-student-union-demands-segregated-safe-spaces/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Students at DePaul University in Chicago, Illinois, are demanding segregated “safe spaces” for black students “on and off campus.” The Black Student Union at DePaul University is demanding special accommodations for black students in the wake of the Capitol Hill riot, which they refer to as a “display of white power.” The demands include new programs and racially segregated “safe spaces” both on and off-campus. “The disgusting display of white power, not to be confused with white privilege, is something we should all fear, though we know that situations and tensions in this country will always negatively affect black people, but not so much white people,” began the students in their statement. “While the attempted coup was a scary act of white power, the end of Spring Quarter 2019-2020 and the following months after that were horrifying for black students on campus,” the statement continued. “We were scared for our lives, we saw our friends get beaten and arrested, if not worse, and DePaul’s delayed response in contrast to the quickness in which they’ve replied to this week’s events is just another indicator of how little DePaul cares for their black students,” added the students, referring to previous social justice protests. “It took petitions and a campus-wide movement for DePaul to address the protests, where in that statement they wrote the late Eric Gardner’s name as ‘Eric Ferguson,’” the statement continued. “When we felt threatened by DePaul’s deal with the FOP, they tokenized a Latinx police officer as a means to silence us and show us that they’d made their decision — money is worth more than the black and brown students at DePaul.” The Student Union went on to complain that the university only let students forego their final exams last year after white students joined black students in an effort to get them canceled. “When in Spring Quarter of the last academic year black students asked for some kind of relief from one of our great stressors, final exams, it took the co-opting of white students (who, some, did so for their own benefit, going as far as calling it ‘the awesome perks of Spring Quarter’) and immense pressure from the student body for DePaul to allow a loosely worded policy,” the students said. “Even then, most black students still had finals since certain professors ignored this rule,” they added. “No black student expects it to be easy to attend a Predominantly White Institution, but blatant disrespect will not be tolerated,” the Student Union affirmed. “We demand answers.” From there, the students went on to list their demands, which included “more black therapists,” university-funded “healing and safe spaces for black students on and off campus,” diversity and inclusion training “led by black and brown people,” and “respect from the administration,” among other things. “It is imperative that spaces for black students on campus continue to receive the necessary funding and recognition as they provide safe and healing components through the presence of other students, faculty, and staff who look like us,” said the students of their demand for “safe spaces.” DePaul University did not immediately respond to Breitbart News’ request for comment on whether the school plans to meet the students’ demands for racially segregated “safe spaces” on and off-campus.)
