DAILY HERALD
— DIERSEN HEADLINE: DISGUSTING, TRAGIC: FRONT PAGE TOP OF FOLD WITH COLOR PICTURE: Pot pushers push medical pot to push recreational pot. It is ever-increasingly clear that pot pushers want everyone in your neighborhood, in your precinct, in your municipality, in your township/ward, in your county, and in Illinois to be a stoner. To use pot is to destroy yourself, and therefore, to destroy your neighborhood, your precinct, your municipality, your township/ward, your county, and Illinois.

— How Influential Women in Business face challenges in a male-dominated world – Kim Mikus (DIERSEN: Do/did you have a male-dominated job? All the jobs that I had while I worked for the federal government were male-dominated. I delivered mail for the Post Office 1966-1969, I collected delinquent taxes for IRS 1971-1980, and I audited federal agencies for GAO 1980-1997. In my opinion, my superiors had a very hard time hiring and retaining women for the aforesaid jobs not because they were male-dominated jobs, but because they were viewed by virtually everyone as being “bad jobs.”)

WASHINGTON EXAMINER
— We’re living in (almost) the best of times – Michael Barone (DIERSEN: From what I see, employment opportunities for those who share my terrible demographics are worse today. Employers are less likely to hire, retain, or promote those who share my terrible demographics. The Post Office hired me in 1966 when I was 16; I doubt that it would hire me today if I was 16. Firestone Stores hired when I was 21; I doubt that it would hire me today if I was 21. General Motors offered me a job when I was 22; I doubt that it would offer me a job today if I was 22. IRS hired me when I was 22; I doubt that it would hire me today if I was 22. IRS promoted me when I was 23, 24, and 25; I doubt that IRS would promote me today if I was 23, 24, or 25. GAO hired me when I was 31; I doubt that it would hire me today if I was 31. GAO promoted me when I was 38; I doubt that GAO would promote me today if I was 38. From what I see, ever-increasingly, employers are under pressure to hire, to retain, and to promote minorities and females.)

CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— Governors State paid $1.5M to terminated employees, even though many of them did no work: state watchdog – Dawn Rhodes (DIERSEN: Constructively, so far, the Democrats who run the federal government have forced the Civil Service Retirement System to pay me $1,186,201 in today’s dollars to not come to work. That is 267 months times $4,443. In September of 1997, when I was 49 years old, my Democrat GAO superiors succeeded in forcing me to take their early retirement “offer.”)

— Projection in Campus and Party Politics – PHILIP CARL SALZMAN
https://pjmedia.com/news-and-politics/projection-in-campus-and-party-politics/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: It is common to observe projection in campus and party politics, and in human affairs generally. “Projection” is a well-understood psychological mechanism in which a person or collective accuses another of doing what the accuser himself or itself is doing. “Psychological projection is a defense mechanism people subconsciously employ in order to cope with difficult feelings or emotions. Psychological projection involves projecting undesirable feelings or emotions onto someone else, rather than admitting to or dealing with the unwanted feelings.” The classic example of Freudian projection is that of a woman who has been unfaithful to her husband but who accuses her husband of cheating on her. . .Many highly entertaining examples of projection can be seen in recent party politics. Members of the Democrat Party and the mainstream media have accused President Trump being a potential dictator who would not honor an election which he had lost, and who would thus undermine the American electoral democracy. This from a party and media that refused to accept the 2016 election, and set about from the day of the inauguration to overturn the election and cancel the duly-elected president, most recently seen in the House impeachment of the president. Thus, the Democrat Party accuses the Republican president of not respecting the Constitution and election results, at exactly the same time as they reject the 2016 election winner. Leading members of the Democrat Party have accused and continue to accuse President Trump of conspiring with a foreign power to interfere with the 2016 election, and to be similarly interfering with the upcoming 2020 election.)

— Is political affiliation the new discrimination? Our research suggests ‘yes’ – PHILIP L. ROTH, JILL E. ELLINGSON AND JASON B. THATCHER (DIERSEN: If I had been active in Republican politics, GAO would not have hired me in 1980, IRS would not have hired me in 1971, and the Post Office would not have hired me in 1966. Further, because they view me as being much “too conservative” and as someone who they cannot manipulate/dominate, the Republicans who ran Illinois, DuPage County, Milton Township, Wheaton, etc. would never have hired me.) 
https://thehill.com/opinion/technology/472200-political-affiliation-the-new-discrimination-our-research-suggests-yes
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The U.S. is experiencing substantial political polarization. Words like “hate” and “loathe” are routinely used to describe opposing party members, to the point that over 60 percent of voters are angry and worried about the direction of the country. Recent events may be a manifestation of this anger. Rep. Steve Scalise (R-La.) was shot because of party membership, and members of “The Squad” among the Democrats in the House routinely receive death threats. Americans don’t believe the situation will improve. Further, political polarization — and violence — is occurring in other countries such as England (Brexit) and France (rioting over fuel taxes and other policies). At the same time, social media screening is increasingly common when hiring, with over half of recruiters reporting that they check social media accounts such as LinkedIn and Facebook, or conduct Google searches. Such platforms make a wide variety of personal information easily accessible to recruiters — including political affiliation. The increasingly partisan landscape paired with information about party affiliation sets the stage for political affiliation to affect hiring.)

Further, because they view me as being much “too conservative” and as someone who they cannot manipulate/dominate, the Republicans who ran Illinois, DuPage County, Milton Township, Wheaton, etc. would never have hired me.)

— What to Expect After You Earn Your Bachelor of Accounting (DIERSEN: I worked for IRS 1971-1980 and for GAO 1980-1997. Being a CPA helps you get promoted at IRS and at GAO. In retrospect, with benefit of hindsight, I should have earned a bachelor’s degree in accounting at NIU in 1970 instead of management. I did not start taking graduate accounting courses until 1976. I did not pass the CPA examination until 1979. By then, my IRS superiors viewed me as being far “too old.” I did not earn a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul until 1980. I did not pass the Certified Internal Auditor examination until 1981. I did not become a licensed CPA until 1981. By then, my GAO superiors viewed me as being far “too old.”)

CHICAGO SUN-TIMES
— Hundreds sign petition to get Holocaust denier back on ballot, but voters say they were in the dark   The Illinois Republican Party says it’s stepping up efforts to make voters aware that Arthur Jones is once again a candidate for the U.S. Congress. – Tina Sfondeles (DIERSEN: What if ONLY elected precinct committeemen were allowed to circulate candidate nominating petitions, and further, what if they were ONLY allowed to circulate nominating petitions in their own precinct? For the March 17, 2020 Republican primary, in your precinct, how many signatures on how many petitions did your Republican Precinct Committeeman gather for how many candidates from how many Republican voters in how many homes? I gathered 593 signatures on 60 petitions (3 for each of 20 candidates) from 30 Republican voters in 17 homes in my DuPage County Milton Township Precinct 9 in Wheaton. I had to contact Republicans in 59 homes in my precinct to do that. Those 20 candidates are: U.S. President/Vice President – Donald Trump/Mike Pence and Delegates; U.S. Senate – Mark Curran; U.S. Representative – Jeanne Ives and Jay Kinzler; State Representative – Amy Grant; DuPage State’s Attorney – Robert Berlin; DuPage Circuit Court Clerk – Christopher Kachiroubas; DuPage County Auditor – Robert Grogan; DuPage Coroner – Richard Jorgensen; DuPage Recorder – Ronald Almiron and Babette Holder; DuPage County Board – Timothy Elliott; DuPage Forest Preserve Commissioner – Timothy Whelan; DuPage Circuit Court Judge – Ann Celine Walsh, Monique O’Toole, James McCluskey, and Rick Veenstra, and Richard Felice; and Republican Precinct Committeeman – Dave Diersen) 
https://chicago.suntimes.com/politics/2019/12/20/21030029/arthur-jones-holocaust-denier-congress-republican-illinois
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Records show Jones collected 844 signatures in Palos Hills, Hickory Hills, Stickney, Oak Lawn, Bridgeview, Worth, Countryside, Bedford Park, La Grange, Chicago Ridge, Hometown, Lyons and Willow Springs. Just over 600 signatures were required to get on the ballot. He also managed to get one Chicago voter to sign his petitions after not getting any signatures in the city in 2018. . .Awareness campaign Illinois Republican Party executive director Anthony Sarros said the party is planning an awareness campaign that could include digital advertising, Facebook ads or mailers ahead of the primary, to outline Jones’ beliefs and remind voters that there are two other Republicans running. “We want to make sure that the Republicans, Democrats, any Illinois citizens know that this is not a candidate that we support and we don’t want him winning the election,” Sarros said. “ … We hate this. we don’t want this to happen and now I kind of want to know how this happened and how do we prevent this.” An attorney for the state party and a representative from Lipinski’s campaign are among 10 people who requested to review Jones’ 844 petitions. But the party says nearly 87% of his signatures were valid, and no one challenged his right to appear on the ballot. In total, 217 of those who signed identified as independent voters. Another 118 were “hard Democrats” — those who have voted Democrat in two or more of the last four primary elections — and 111 were “hard Republicans” — those who have voted Republican the same amount. Another 68 had voted in both party’s primaries. “The deeper story to this is just people who signed a petition for an old gentleman not knowing who he was, what he supported and not knowing what he was running for,” Sarros said. “It’s unfortunate these folks are signing this petition. I’m sure he didn’t advertise who he was because he was able to get all of these signatures.” ‘I had no idea’ Some of those who signed his petitions confirmed in interviews with the Sun-Times they didn’t know Jones’ background.)

http://wallstreetwindow.com/2019/12/sanders-report-shows-how-millennial-generation-is-being-punished-with-crushing-student-debt-and-low-paying-jobs-jake-johnson-12-20-2019/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A new government study commissioned by Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders details how crushing student loan debt and stagnant wages are threatening to make millennials the first U.S. generation with a lower quality of life than their parents. The Government Accountability Office report (pdf), obtained Wednesday by Teen Vogue, found that millennials between the ages of 25 and 37 have substantially less wealth, lower homeownership rates, and fewer retirement resources than Generation X and the Baby Boomers. “We must tell the economic elite who have hoarded income growth in America: No, you can no longer have it all.” —Sen. Bernie Sanders “The millennial generation (those born between 1982 and 2000) might not have the same opportunity as previous generations had to fare better economically than their parents,” the GAO report states. “Millennial households had significantly lower median and average net worth than Generation X households at similar ages.”)

ILLINOIS REPUBLICAN PARTY
— Statement from ILGOP Chairman Tim Schneider on Impeachment Vote
https://illinois.gop/category/news/
(THE STATEMENT: “For over three years, Democrats have been searching high and low for an excuse to reverse the results of the 2016 election. Their disdain for the judgement of the American people have taken them down this unconscionable path. It’s a path that led House Democrats to make a partisan mockery of impeachment’s serious and grave nature. Our constitution’s most extreme remedy for alleged presidential misconduct should never be utilized on purely partisan grounds as today’s roll call indicates. It’s my hope the Senate will quickly put an end to this witch hunt.”)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Students at a prominent Chinese university on Wednesday staged protests against efforts by the ruling Communist Party to further extend its control over university campuses, a rare and risky rebuke that highlighted broader concerns about the erosion of free speech under President Xi Jinping. The protests were a response to the decision this month by Fudan University, a Shanghai institution known for its relatively tolerant culture, to rewrite its charter to emphasize loyalty to the party over traditional values like independence and academic freedom.)

My Democrat IRS superiors did not promote me beyond GS-12, disallowed my education deductions in 1978, got rid of my mentor in 1975, and disallowed my partial day per diem claims in 1974. My Democrat Post Office superiors forced me resign in 1969 and disallowed my sick leave requests in 1969 and 1968.

POLITICO ILLINOIS
— George P. Bush, the son of Jeb Bush, headlined the holiday luncheon hosted by Illinois Republican leaders and supporters, including Richard Porter, Jay Bergman, Sanford “Sandy” Perl and Kim Godden. Bush talked immigration, politics and baseball. He said even though his family has spoken out against Republican Donald Trump, he’d be supporting him in 2020. Part of the program included a word association game that equated Texas with opportunity and Illinois with, well, none. (Seems harsh.) Spotted in the crowd at the estate of Gene and Georgetti in Rosemont were business leaders Ty Fahner and Bill Kunkler, state House Minority Leader Jim Durkin, former Congressmen Peter Roskam and Bob Dold, Bolingbrook Mayor Roger Claar, Rosemont Mayor and state Rep.

NATIONAL REVIEW
— Rand Paul vs. Google and Facebook – JOHN MCCORMACK
https://www.nationalreview.com/2019/12/rand-paul-backs-bill-letting-newspapers-negotiate-better-deals-with-google-facebook/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The Kentucky senator backs antitrust exemption letting newspapers negotiate better terms from the tech giants. Kentucky senator Rand Paul is signing on to a bill attempting to help a struggling industry, print and digital news organizations, by giving them more power to negotiate the terms under which Google and Facebook may distribute their content. Current antitrust law forbids news organizations from banding together to negotiate terms of distribution and advertising rates, but the Journalism Competition and Preservation Act would provide a four-year exemption to existing antitrust laws for “news content creators” to collectively negotiate with “online content distributors” that have at least one billion active users each month (i.e., Google and Facebook). “Government threatens the viability of trusted news sources through old and outdated restrictions on the ability of those sources to survive in an evolving media environment,” Paul said in a written statement Monday to National Review. “We need to get government out of the way, which is why in addition to cosponsoring the Journalism Competition and Preservation Act of 2019, I will also be introducing legislation to free broadcast media from the chains that restrict their ability to better serve their customers.”)

— DoD Bill Returns Focus to Probationary Period Issue (DIERSEN: My Democrat GAO superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates were furious that when I transferred from IRS to GAO in 1980 when I was 31 years old, because I had been under a probationary period at IRS, I was not under a probationary period at GAO. Nevertheless, they did everything that they could to get rid of me. GAO audits IRS. They kept me off audits of IRS for all but 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for GAO. They gave me unfair performance expectations and unfair performance appraisals. They assigned me to work for, to work with, and to supervise the office’s most problematic employees. And even worse things. In my defense, I completed the requirements for a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980, passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981, became a licensed CPA in 1981, a Certified Fraud Examiner in 1990, a Certified Government Financial Manager in 1994, a Certified Financial Services Auditor in 1996, and a Forensic Accountant in 1997. In addition, I completed the requirements for a master’s degree in financial markets and trading from IIT in 1997.)

https://www.politico.com/newsletters/illinois-playbook/2019/12/16/down-and-dirty-challenges-mccaffrey-exits-city-hall-pushback-on-caprara-487908
(FROM THE ARTICLE: In Illinois, the drama is focused on challenging petitions submitted by candidates trying to get on the 2020 primary ballot. It is a brutal process. Candidates with the financial means can challenge petitions of their competitors — requiring them to spend precious time and money defending hundreds of signatures. A great deal of financial and intellectual capital is spent during this behind-the-scenes action, which is frustrating for candidates who would prefer to put their energies into campaigning instead. The process can sometimes make or break a campaign, as Dorothy Brown can attest.)

— How to Cope With Your Professor’s Left-Wing Bias – Hans Bader 
https://www.cnsnews.com/commentary/hans-bader/how-cope-your-professors-left-wing-bias
(FROM THE ARTICLE: To get the best possible grade, students may need to pander to their professors’ left-wing ideology. Professors are much more likely to be progressives than they are to be moderate or conservative. Law professors are no exception. Progressive professors view progressive views as a sign of intelligence, and conservatism as a sign of stupidity. For example, Prof. Robert Brandon, head of Duke University’s philosophy department, argued that conservatives are rare in academia because they are stupid. So to get a good grade, moderate or conservative law students should pretend to be progressives when taking their final exam. That will make them seem more intelligent to their left-wing professors. They should echo their professor’s left-wing ideology in answering exam questions — such as questions about what a vague provision of the Constitution means, or about who should win a lawsuit where both sides have a plausible legal argument. Parroting my professors’ left-wing ideology worked for me at Harvard Law School.)

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/presidential-election-2020-race-and-gender-in-presidential-race-cbs-news-poll/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: But among those who think it will matter to others, many Democrats think it will be harder to beat Mr. Trump if the nominee is female, gay, or a racial minority. More than half of Super Tuesday Democrats think it would be easier to win if the nominee happens to be white, while just 3% think that would make beating President Trump harder. Fifty percent feel it would be harder to defeat Donald Trump if their nominee is black, compared to 10% who think it will be easier. Black Democrats, in particular, feel that nominating a black candidate would make it harder to beat Mr. Trump. Most black Democrats in these states think it would be harder to beat him if the party nominates a black candidate. They are more likely to feel this way (60% of them do) than white Democrats are (46%). Black Democrats are also generally more confident than white Democrats that their party will ultimately nominate someone who can beat Mr. Trump in 2020. On the matter of gender, a mere 5% say the Democrats would have a harder time beating Trump if their party’s nominee is a man. Forty-nine percent think it would be harder if the nominee is a woman, while just 14% say it would be easier if Democrats nominate a woman. Six in 10 black Biden supporters say they strongly back him, compared to 4 in 10 of his white supporters who state that level of support.)

Idealists turned rampant capitalists, the web giant’s founders leave behind an unloved and distrusted firm. – John Arlidge (DIERSEN: Ever-increasingly, Google News Alerts take you to non-credible articles written by non-credible authors posted on non-credible websites that promote the Democrat, Libertarian, and Green party platforms.)

GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— MARCH 5, 2019 FLASHBACK: How can www.gopillinois.com get a better NewsGuard rating? Please consider NewsGuard’s rating criteria at https://www.newsguardtech.com/ratings/rating-process-criteria/ or below and email me at diersen@aol.com or phone me at 630-653-0462 with your suggestions. – Dave Diersen
https://gopillinois.com/uncategorized/march-5-morning-edition-3/?highlight=newsguard
(FROM THE POSTING: RATING CRITERIA Here are the nine criteria that NewsGuard uses to assess websites. Each criterion is worth a certain number of points out of 100, as indicated below. A site with a score of 60 points or higher receives a green rating. A site with a score lower than 60 points receives a red rating. In every case, the NewsGuard Nutrition Labels that are provided for each site (by clicking on the rating) spell out the site’s adherence to each of the nine criteria that yielded that source’s particular rating. The criteria below are listed in order of their importance in determining a red rating. For example, failure to adhere to the first criteria—publishing false content—is more influential in determining a red rating than failure to reveal information about content creators.

Credibility
— Doesn’t repeatedly publish false content: In the last three years the site has not produced multiple stories that have been found—either by journalists at NewsGuard or elsewhere—to be clearly false, and which have not been quickly and prominently corrected. (22 Points. A label with a score lower than 60 points gets a red rating.)
— Gathers and presents information responsibly: Content on the site is created by reporters, writers, videographers, researchers, or other information providers who generally seek to be accurate and fair in gathering, reporting, and interpreting information, even if they approach their work from a strong point of view. They do this by referencing multiple sources, preferably those that present direct, first-hand information on a subject or event. (18 Points)
— Regularly corrects or clarifies errors: The site makes clear how to contact those in charge and has effective practices for publishing clarifications and corrections. (12.5 Points)
— Handles the difference between news and opinion responsibly: Content providers who convey the impression that they report news or a mix of news and opinion distinguish opinion from news reporting, and when reporting news, they do not regularly or egregiously misstate, distort, or cherry pick facts, or egregiously cherry pick stories, to advance opinions. Content providers whose clearly expressed purpose is to advance a particular point of view do not regularly and egregiously misstate or distort facts to make their case. (12.5 Points)
— Avoids deceptive headlines: The site generally does not publish headlines that include false information, significantly sensationalize, or otherwise do not reflect what is actually in the story. (10 Points)

Transparency
— Website discloses ownership and financing: The site discloses its ownership and/or financing, as well as any notable ideological or political positions held by those with a significant financial interest in the site, in a user-friendly manner. (7.5 Points)
— Clearly labels advertising: The site makes clear which content is paid for and which is not. (7.5 Points)
— Reveals who’s in charge: Information about those in charge of the content is made accessible on the site. (5 Points)
— The site provides the names of content creators, along with either contact information or biographical information: Information about those producing the content is made accessible on the site. (5 Points))

(FROM THE ARTICLE: As to the experience of workers, there tends to be more self-congratulation among CEOs than honest self-reflection.

My Democrat GAO superiors forced me to retire in 1997 when I was 49 years old, gave me unfair performance expectations and appraisals, always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes, did not promote me beyond GS-13, got rid of my mentor in 1987, kept me off audits of IRS for all but 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for GAO, and forced me to take a $19,568 (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980. My Democrat IRS superiors did not promote me beyond GS-12, disallowed my education deductions in 1978, got rid of my mentor in 1975, and disallowed my partial day per diem claims in 1974. My Democrat Post Office superiors forced me resign in 1969 and disallowed my sick leave requests in 1969 and 1968. However, the federal government would not have taken the aforesaid adverse actions against me and instead, would have promoted me into its Senior Executive Service long before I was 40 years old in 1988 if I had been a Democrat, minority, and/or female.)

Those party leaders who reject the traditional family, right to life, immigration, Second Amendment, illegal drugs, gambling, and/or equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) planks want to get rid of those like me who support the aforesaid planks.)

— California universities using SAT for admissions are violating civil rights, lawsuit claims – LI COHEN (DIERSEN: How much education and money did your parents have? Neither of my outstanding parents attended college. My father was the first of his ancestors to earn a high school diploma. My mother never attended high school. My father 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.) 
https://www.cbsnews.com/news/sat-scores-university-of-california-requiring-sat-test-for-admission-violates-civil-rights-lawsuit-2019-12-10/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The University of California is being sued for requiring incoming students to take the SAT and ACT. The lawsuit claims that the tests have a well-known “discriminatory effect” and “exacerbate the inequities” for underrepresented students. The lawsuit says the University of California (UC) is legally obligated to provide equal access to all students. The SAT and ACT, the lawsuit says, “reflect demographic and socioeconomic characteristics like family income, parental education and race” instead of measuring “academic ability or mastery of curriculum.” The College Board, the organization behind the SAT, released a 2019 assessment of the SAT/PSAT in California that found 45% of white students scored 1,200 or above, while 12% of Latinx students and 9% of Black students got the same score. Parental education levels were also directly related to student scores — only 21% of test-takers whose parents did not receive a high school diploma met SAT benchmarks while 77% of those whose parents have graduate degrees met benchmarks.)

Seven months after I started, my duties included pumping gasoline, installing tires, batteries, etc., changing oil and filters, delivering large appliances, and cleaning white wall tires hanging on store walls while the store was open. Employers were reluctant to hire me because they saw me as being draft bait. They did not believe that my financial hardship draft deferment application would be approved.)

CHICAGO SUN-TIMES
— New laws will encourage old vices  The proliferation of gambling and marijuana can have a deleterious effect on health. Both vices are addictive in nature. – Ned L. McCray, Tinley Park
https://chicago.suntimes.com/2019/12/10/21004979/sun-times-letters-legal-gambling-marijuana-illinois-recreational-pot-vices
(FROM THE LETTER: Most laws have an impact, one way or another, on a person’s job or his pocketbook. The new laws in Illinois, expanding legal gambling and the legal use of marijuana, will do the same. But they also will threaten our health and physical well-being. The new laws have been touted as answers to our state’s fiscal crisis, creating many jobs, but at what cost? History has shown that the proliferation of gambling and marijuana can have a deleterious effect on one’s health. Both are addictive in nature. Most forms of gambling are stacked against the participant; the odds are bad. Legalized gambling generally is a waste of time and money. Marijuana alters a person’s mood and introduces harmful substances into the lungs and body that can lead to dependency and the use of more powerful drugs. These two laws will do nothing to uplift society. They will be of harm to future generations.)
