(FROM THE ARTICLE: I made a promise to myself early in my career. If my job ever became so unbearable that I got stomach cramps at just the thought of walking into the office, it was time to quit. But what if staying in your crummy job is the only way to have tens of thousands of dollars in student debt forgiven? This is the issue vexing a reader, who asked me during a recent online discussion: Should I stay or should I go? “I’m a federal employee with five years left to loan forgiveness,” the person wrote. “I work in a toxic office and have been trying for several years to find a job in a different agency. I was recently offered a two-year term position that would be in a new practice area with supervisory responsibility and a fairly significant pay raise. But I would lose the ‘golden handcuffs’ of virtually guaranteed employment and risk losing six-figure loan forgiveness if I don’t find a permanent position during the two years. Is it worth it?”)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: China effectively expelled a Wall Street Journal reporter from the country, one month after the newspaper published a report detailing allegations that a cousin of Chinese leader Xi Jinping was involved in high-stakes gambling and potential money laundering in Australia. Chinese authorities told the Journal on Friday it would not renew press credentials for Chun Han Wong, a Singapore national who has covered Chinese politics out of the paper’s Beijing bureau since 2014. Those credentials expired Friday. China sometimes withholds or refuses visas to punish international news organizations for what the ruling Communist Party perceives as unfavorable coverage. But the decision amounted to the first time in recent memory that the Chinese government has effectively turfed out a reporter from the Journal, a publication generally known for incisive but evenhanded coverage of the country.)

DAILY HERALD
— OUTSTANDING: Naperville resident organizing rallies against recreational pot – Marie Wilson
https://www.dailyherald.com/news/20190829/naperville-resident-organizing-rallies-against-recreational-pot
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Jennifer Bruzan Taylor does not want her children living near recreational marijuana dispensaries. She feels so strongly about the issue that she’s organizing a movement encouraging her hometown to #OptOutNaperville. Bruzan Taylor is one of about 15 people planning rallies to push the Naperville City Council to prohibit recreational marijuana shops from opening under the Cannabis Regulation and Tax Act, which goes into effect Jan. 1. The city could enact a ban as soon as Tuesday; the issue is expected to be up for a vote during a meeting at 7 p.m. in the municipal center at 400 S. Eagle St. The Opt Out Naperville movement is hosting rallies at 10 a.m. Saturday in Central Park and 6 p.m. Tuesday at the Free Speech Pavilion along the Riverwalk to gather people who want the ban put into effect. Bruzan Taylor said she expects around 100 people to attend the Saturday event. “I would never have moved here if we had opted into selling recreational marijuana,” said Bruzan Taylor, a Naperville native who moved back to her hometown because of its strong reputation as a kid-friendly place. “I would have picked a suburb that didn’t.” In Chicago, where Bruzan Taylor and her family lived for about 10 years, she said neighbors using marijuana in their condo building would overwhelm the place with the smell of weed. If Naperville allows shops selling the drug for recreational purposes, she said she fears the same would happen in the state’s fourth-largest city. “I know it’s supposed to be on private property only,” she said about recreational use. “And yet, that’s not what happens.” . . . Bruzan Taylor hopes Naperville leaders will decide the best location for these businesses is nowhere. “I just don’t see this as being good for Naperville economically and also for its image as being family conscious,” she said. “I decided to organize this (rallies) in order to show the councilmen that people in Naperville care about this.”)

WASHINGTON EXAMINER
— If you care about journalism, you’re defending Brian Karem and Joel Pollack Both do actual journalism, and petty politicians have no right to sit in judgment. – Tiana Lowe (DIERSEN: I should write a book about petty politicians who have sat in judgment of me since 2000.)
https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/if-you-care-about-journalism-youre-defending-brian-karem-and-joel-pollack
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Snowflakery knows no political bent, and hostility towards the free press is a grievance centuries older than the First Amendment. The twin tales of Playboy’s Brian Karem and Breitbart’s Joel Pollak exemplifies the oft ignored fact that people in power of all political stripes simply despise answering to the Fourth Estate. Karem’s currently fighting the Trump administration in the courtroom to reclaim his hard pass, which the White House suspended following the journalist’s verbal sparring match with an equally belligerent Sebastian Gorka during the president’s social media summit in the Rose Garden. Beto O’Rourke staffers booted Pollak from a campaign event, with the 2020 longshot’s spokeswoman lambasting as “hateful” and bordering on “perpetrat[ing] hate speech.” Both fights are absurd, and not because of the journalists prolonging them. Neither Karem nor Pollak have hidden their ideological or partisan affinities. The Playboy White House correspondent openly excoriates the president on Twitter, while Pollak’s persona and outlet are openly conservative. But both do actual journalism, and petty politicians have no right to sit in judgment. As long as they’re going to claim they support a free press, the Trumps and Betos of the world must tolerate the scrutiny, tough questions, and even intentional rhetorical provocations that come as a natural responsibility of power.)

https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/washington-secrets/poll-public-backs-criticism-of-journalists-trumps-attacks-appropriate
(FROM THE ARTICLE: In the latest sign that major American media outlets are losing the public’s support, a majority believe it is appropriate for politicians to criticize reporters and hold them to the same scrutiny as those they cover. A new Rasmussen Reports survey also said most voters believe the average journalist is liberal, and few are conservative. The survey is an indictment of the media at a time when liberal outlets such as CNN and the New York Times are stepping up their attack on President Trump and congressional Republicans. The outlets are also complaining about Trump’s criticism of them and called out Trump surrogates who are using social media to point out the bias of journalists. But, said Rasmussen, voters believe that reporters are fair game for criticism. The survey analysis said 61% of likely U.S. voters think reporters at major news organizations like CNN, Fox News, and the New York Times are public figures who deserve scrutiny. Some 19% disagree. Significantly, 51% said “it is appropriate for elected officials to criticize specific reporters and news organizations,” Rasmussen reported in the survey shared with Secrets before its release. Another 39% view the criticism as a threat to freedom of the press. That is slightly higher than the 48% who said criticism from politicians was OK back in February 2017 when Trump began singling out news organizations that were attacking him. And the public continues to view journalists as liberal. The survey said 47% believe the typical reporter is more liberal than they are. Just 19% of voters believe reporters are more conservative than they are.)

— OUTSTANDING: Rally aims to persuade Naperville City Council to ban retail marijuana sales – SUZANNE BAKER (DIERSEN: Federal law and the Republican Party platform oppose recreational pot. Political parties exist to help elect candidates who can and will defend and advance their platform. Everyone in Illinois who states that they are religious, conservative, and/or Republican, and especially Republican Precinct Committeemen/Captains, Republican township/ward/county organization officials, Illinois Republican Party officials, and Republican elected and appointed officials, should speak out against the retail sale of pot at all upcoming meetings held by their municipality and county. Those who speak in favor of the retail sale of pot should immediately resign, and if not, be removed from office.)
https://www.chicagotribune.com/suburbs/naperville-sun/ct-nvs-naperville-opt-out-rally-st-0828-20190828-i6xh3flcfrethav6bgunyb3c24-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A recently created group formed to persuade the Naperville City Council to ban the sale of recreational marijuana in the city will hold a rally Saturday to support those efforts. Naperville resident Jennifer Taylor said she organized the group, called Opt Out Naperville, and the rally to show council members how many people don’t want pot sold in the city. Taylor, who has spoken out against marijuana sales at the July 16 and Aug. 20 council meetings, said many people in the audience support her position. “Yet it feels like their voices are not being heard,” she said. “This is about keeping Naperville family-focused,” said Taylor, a mother of two. Saturday’s rally will start at 10 a.m. Saturday in Central Park, which is located one block east of Washington Street and just south of Benton Avenue.“ (The rally) is one of many avenues to show that the residents don’t this this here,” Taylor said. Opt Out Naperville also is hosting a gathering at 6 p.m. Tuesday at the free speech pavilion along the Riverwalk near Jackson Avenue and Webster Street, just before the Naperville City Council meeting at 7 p.m. Taylor said not everyone is able to attend the council meeting and the meetup is a way to show support. “This is one of the most important decisions that will be made on the dias. It will shape the future of Naperville,” she said. The city council will be at a crossroads the next time it discusses the retail sale of recreational marijuana, which becomes legal in Illinois Jan. 1. Last week the council directed staff develop a plan for what allowing recreational pot sales would look like. The previous month the council asked staff to prepare an ordinance for Naperville to opt out. Any decision likely may hinge on the vote of council member Patrick Kelly. Kelly voted last week with council members Judy Brodhead, John Krummen, Benny White and Mayor Steve Chirico in favor of asking city staff to prepare a plan for recreational marijuana sales. Last month he voted with council members Kevin Coyne, Patty Gustin, Paul Hinterlong and Theresa Sullivan on a plan to opt out. Coyne said he’s glad members of the community like Taylor are stepping up to take a leadership role on this issue. He said he’s heard from “a great many” from community opposed to pot sales in the city and expects many of those different stakeholders will attend the rally. During public comment at the meeting last week, support for and against recreational marijuana sales was generally split among the roughly 20 people who spoke on the issue. Those in favor of allowing recreational marijuana sales in Naperville, including Mayor Steve Chirico, have said banning retail pot sales in the city will simply drive residents to buy it elsewhere and let other communities realize the tax benefits. And those tax benefits could help offset any costs to Naperville related to marijuana use by its residents. Gustin, who plans to speak at the Saturday rally, said opting out is the best option because the city needs more time to study not only statistics from other municipalities that legalized pot but to analyze the effects of marijuana sales on the community. “Naperville is a family-friendly community. Naperville is a kid-friendly community. Naperville is an education-focused community,” Gustin said. “Opting-out is the smart thing to in an educated community.” [Most read] Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot 100 days in — reform at City Hall still a work in progress: ‘We haven’t declared victory, but I think we’ve taken some very positive steps.’ The state’s fourth largest city may seem like an unlikely spot for a contentious debate on allowing recreational marijuana sales. It was one of the first Illinois cities in the area to raise the age to purchase tobacco from 18 to 21 when it did so in 2016, more than two years before the age was raised statewide. The city was among the first to ban smoking in enclosed public places and the workplace. Naperville was also one of the first of Illinois’ largest cities to ban video gambling despite it being legal at the state level.)

— An internship is a must-have for college graduates – Johnny C. Taylor Jr. (DIERSEN: Were you an intern? GAO audits IRS. When I transferred from IRS to GAO in 1980 when I was 31 years old, my Democrat GAO superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinated did not want me to transfer, but failing that, they wanted me to transfer as a GS-4 Step 1 (currently $33,591/year) intern, that is, to suffer a $60,001/year (64%) pay cut in today’s dollars. They painted what GAO Analysts do as being a unique “trade or occupation.” They would not have done that if I had been a Democrat, minority, female, or veteran. They viciously demonized, denigrated, and condemned the fact a) that I had worked for IRS for almost 9 years, the last 5 1/2 years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 levels, currently $82,579-$93,592/year, b) that much of what IRS Revenue Officers do is similar to what GAO Analysts do, c) that I had passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, d) that I had earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976, and e) that I had almost completed the requirements for a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul. They were furious that I transferred with me almost 12 years of federal seniority, 30 days of unused vacation days, and 130 unused sick days.)

https://sentinelcolorado.com/news/metro/aurora-city-council-approves-new-ethics-law-opposes-lobbying-registration/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Despite taking other legislative steps toward greater transparency, a majority of Aurora City Council members decided against an ordinance mandating lobbyists register with the city if working in Aurora. Council members Bob Roth, Johnny Watson, Marsha Berzins, Francoise Bergan, Charlie Richardson and mayor Bob LeGare opposed the proposed ordinance. At-large councilwoman Angela Lawson, who also works for the Colorado Secretary of State’s office, first introduced the idea to a city policy committee in October. LeGare said he didn’t believe the ordinance was ready, but council member Nicole Johnston rebutted that claim citing Lawson’s past year of work. None of the other council members who voted against the measure — all of which are running for re-election — gave a reason for their vote. The registration wouldn’t have limited or penalized lobbyists or city officials for interacting with each other. It would instruct lobbyists to file quarterly reports about their lobbying efforts, however. Those reporters would disclose “any expenditure over $75 directly benefiting a covered official,” according to city documents. “This does not prohibit expenditures over $75, it only requires reporting.” Several city council members cited concerns of who would qualify as a lobbyist and whether non-profit organizations attempting to seek influence on the city council would be required to register under the proposed rules. Under the ordinance, lobbyists were defined to be “any individual, including an attorney, who is self-employed or is employed or otherwise retained by any other person or organization: (1) For the purpose of engaging in lobbying; or (2) Whose scope of work requires him or her to lobby from time to time time.” During the meeting, the body unanimously gave a final approval to a new ethics code for elected city officials. The now-approved ordinance is the result of two different proposals from several city council members who sought stronger ethics rules for elected officials of the city. It tasks an independent panel of judges with investigating ethical complaints, prohibits the mayor and city council members from accepting gifts valued more than $300, and prevents council members from engaging in conflicts of interest.)

FLORIDA POLITICS
— House dismisses complaint against NRA lobbyist Marion Hammer Democratic Rep. Anna Eskamani filed the complaint in the House. – Ryan Nicol (DIERSEN: Constructively, my nasty, bombastic, rude, threatening critics/opponents publicly, falsely, and slanderously charged me at the August 20 DuPage County Development Committee meeting with failing to register as a lobbyist. I should sue them.)
https://floridapolitics.com/archives/304284-house-dismisses-complaint-hammer
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The Florida House dismissed a complaint against National Rifle Association (NRA) lobbyist Marion Hammer that had alleged Hammer failed to properly report lobbying compensation. Democratic state Rep. Anna Eskamani filed the complaint in the House. A similar complaint in the Senate, filed by Sen. Perry Thurston, went nowhere. GOP state Rep. Tom Leek, who chairs the House Public Integrity and Ethics Committee, did note Hammer had run afoul of Joint Rule 1.4 of the Legislature. That rule requires disclosure of compensation from lobbying firms: “Unified Sportsmen of Florida (USF) is a lobbying firm and fail(ed) to file compensation reports for the NRA fees received.” But he said Hammer took appropriate action to avoid sanction, and determined “the complaint does not state facts supporting a finding of probable cause.” “You have taken the appropriate corrective action, and consistent with Joint Rule 1.5 and past practices, no further penalty will be imposed,” the Ormond Beach attorney said in a letter explaining the findings. In a statement, Hammer said she was “very pleased that the House complaint has also been dismissed.” She added: “I have been a registered lobbyist since 1974 … I have never told anyone EVER that I am not a lobbyist. Since the filings for Unified Sportsmen of Florida are really a non-issue, we would have filed from the beginning had we not been advised to the contrary. “When you seek and rely upon legal advice, you do so in good faith. That’s exactly what we did. We now have a different legal opinion and USF has fully complied based on the new information and advice.”)

SPRINGFIELD STATE JOURNAL REGISTER
— AUGUST 16, 2012 FLASHBACK: A bunch of political info — daily – Bernard Schoenburg 
https://www.sj-r.com/x1782330063/Bernard-Schoenburg-A-bunch-of-political-info-daily
(FROM THE ARTICLE: There are lots of websites that compile political news, and I think it’s time I share one that I find quite interesting. It’s at www.gopillinois.com, and, as you can tell by its address, it has a Republican flavor. That is an understatement reinforced with the comments added by the compiler himself — DAVID DIERSEN of Wheaton. He introduced a recent UPI story about Republicans’ views on the drought and wildfires by saying: “Democrats blame everything bad, including bad weather, on Republicans, especially on Republicans who are conservative, White, male, older, non-poor and non-veteran.” And talking of a New York Times article about a photographer arrested while on assignment in the Bronx, Diersen wrote that since 2000, he has been thrown out of, barred from, or not advised of news conferences “by Democrats, Democrat plants, RINOs (Republicans in name only), their operatives, and their dupes.” Thus, if you don’t want to read some very pointed comments, you may not want to go to www.gopillinois.com.  But you would be missing a treasure of links to the day’s news and opinion. Diersen, 63, is a retired federal employee who became the Illinois editor of a national GOP website in 2000, and since 2004 has put out his own Illinois compilation every day. There’s usually about 50 articles daily, he says. He’s generally up by 3 a.m. He says he spends at least 10 hours a day on this passion of his, with no pay, and has put out links to more than 117,000 articles. As his comments above hinted, party regulars don’t always greet his work with relish. He includes dissident voices within the GOP tent, and some whose credibility is questionable. But he puts it all out there. He’s a GOP precinct committeeman, and he believes in people having information. He also wants to help elect Republican candidates who “will defend and advance the party’s platform.” The site makes available plenty of Diersen history, too, including how his “liberal Democrat superiors,” in his view, forced him to take early retirement at 49 from the U.S. General Accounting Office, “because of his opposition to race and gender based preference and his participation in a class action lawsuit” on that subject. He wouldn’t mind my telling you that he also passed his CPA and Certified Internal Auditor exams on first attempts more than three decades ago. Agree or disagree with him, but Diersen provides a bunch of interesting information — every day.)

I have served as the GOPUSA Illinois Editor since 2000. 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 $98,198-$127,654/year. What GAO Analysts do (https://www.gao.gov/about/careers/career-paths/) is extremely similar to what journalists do. In addition, I became a Forensic Accountant in 1997, Certified Financial Services Auditor in 1996, Certified Government Financial Manager in 1994, Certified Fraud Examiner in 1990, Licensed CPA in 1981, Certified Internal Auditor in 1981, and CPA in 1979.) 
https://work.chron.com/requirements-necessary-become-journalist-12514.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Educational Requirements A bachelor’s degree is necessary in this competitive profession. Journalism or communications should be your major, but it’s a also good idea to minor in a specialized subject, such as political science or economics. A broad liberal arts background is required for a journalism degree, and many journalism programs require a concentration, such as electronic news or public affairs reporting, but a minor degree can give you an edge over other job seekers. For example, a journalism degree with a concentration in environmental reporting, along with a minor in a physical science, can prepare you well for science reporting. Gaining Experience You need some experience to get a job as a journalist, but you don’t necessarily need a job to get experience. Many employers won’t even look at your resume unless you have an internship listed. Your school career center can help you find internships and you can list them on your resume. Even if you intend to be a broadcast journalist, it’s a good idea to have a portfolio of writing clips to demonstrate you understand how to report on the news. Join your college newspaper staff and look for summer employment with small, local newspapers, television or radio stations. Try freelance writing for online publications or local media outlets.)

— FRONT PAGE TOP OF FOLD: DuPage County begins discussions about allowing marijuana sales – Robert Sanchez (DIERSEN: Yesterday morning, during its public comment period, I spoke at the DuPage County Development Committee meeting and urged that DuPage County be the first county in Illinois to ban the sale of pot in its unincorporated areas. What do you say to my pot-pushing critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes who pander to the Democrat news media and who proclaim that I cannot be both a member of the news media and someone who speaks at DuPage County meetings? What they are really saying is that the only people who are legitimate members of the news media are a) those who are paid for what they do, b) those who have a degree in journalism, and c) those who state that they are non-partisan. Constructively, yesterday morning, DuPage County suspended, if not revoked, my GOPUSA ILLINOIS press credentials because I urged DuPage County to be the first county in Illinois to ban the sale of pot in its unincorporated areas. How should I react to that? If the current trend is not reversed, RINOs will succeed in barring me from attending all Illinois Republican Party, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, Milton Township Republican Central Committee, Illinois, DuPage County, Milton Township, and Wheaton meetings and events. If the current trend is not reversed, RINOs will succeed in barring me from attending and reporting on Republican fundraisers unless I buy a ticket.)

— Wisconsin governor Tony Evers sued for barring conservative journalists from briefing – Andrew O’Reilly (DIERSEN: I should ask the Liberty Justice Center to represent me against those government entities that have treated me like Evers has treated Maclver News Service.)
https://www.foxnews.com/politics/wisconsin-governor-sued-for-barring-conservative-journalists-from-briefing
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A conservative think tank in Wisconsin is suing the state’s governor, Tony Evers, amid allegations that his administration has denied journalists working for the group’s new service access to a budget press briefing and refused to add its reporters to the governor’s press list. The Maclver Institute, a right-leaning public policy shop that runs the Maclver News Service, filed suit earlier this week against Evers for purportedly excluding its reporters from press briefings and failing to provide them with media materials given to other journalists. The lawsuit claims that the Evers’ administration is violating the journalists’ constitutional rights to free speech, freedom of the press and equal access. “Our reporters have the same constitutional rights as every other journalist in Wisconsin, and we have a duty to keep the public informed about what’s happening in state government,” Brett Healy, the president of the MacIver Institute, said in a statement. “While we hoped Gov. Evers would do the right thing and treat our journalists they (sic) way they treat others, the administration has refused. We now have no option but to sue.” The Maclver News Service covers Wisconsin’s legislature, governor’s office and other political affairs from a conservative viewpoint. Healy added in his statement: “We hope to quickly resolve this issue, not just so that our journalists can go about their important work but to ensure no future governor engages in the same unconstitutional practices.” The Maclver Institute is being represented by the Liberty Justice Center, a Chicago-based public interest law firm that made headlines last year for representing Illinois state worker Mark Janus in his landmark case in the Supreme Court against the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees union.)

Haverluck (DIERSEN: Ever-increasingly, because of elected officials and party leaders who are Democrats, Democrat plants, Libertarian plants, Green plants, or RINOs, my neighborhood, my precinct, Wheaton’s West District, Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, Illinois, and America are becoming bad places to live for those who are Trump supporters, Protestant, conservative, patriotic, Republican, American, White, male, older, non-poor, gun owners, German American, draft avoiders, and those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time.)

POLITICO
— We talked to experts on aging about the 2020 field. Here’s what they told us. One medical expert says Joe Biden, Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren and Donald Trump are part of the population known as ‘superagers.’ – MARC CAPUTO (DIERSEN: How old are you? I am 70. All my critics/opponents, all their operatives, and all their dupes have always promoted age discrimination a) because they want to get rid of those who are older than they are and/or b) because they want to pander to those who promote age discrimination. I should write a book about them. I would start with high-level RINOs in Milton Township and DuPage County who are candidates, elected officials, and party leaders.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: But Olshansky points out that presidential candidates are probably healthier than the average U.S. citizen — and will likely live longer than the average as a result. People who have good health care, are more highly educated and have pensions generally live longer. “They all belong to a subgroup of the population that is privileged. And privileged subgroups tend to live longer and better than the average,” Olshansky said. “Despite Bernie Sanders perhaps claiming otherwise, he’s part of the 1 percent. Actually, it’s more like 1/100 of 1 percent.” Olshansky said the older candidates could belong to a group of what are called “superagers,” people who live into their 80s but show a mental sharpness as if they were in their 50s or 60s. Emily Rogalski, a Northwestern University neuroscientist and associate psychiatry and behavioral sciences professor who specializes in studying superagers, said it’s exceedingly difficult to “determine someone’s cognitive abilities simply by knowing someone’s chronological age.”)

How should I react to that? If the current trend is not reversed, RINOs will succeed in barring me from attending all Illinois Republican Party, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, Milton Township Republican Central Committee, Illinois, DuPage County, Milton Township, and Wheaton meetings and events. If the current trend is not reversed, RINOs will succeed in barring me from attending and reporting on Republican fundraisers unless I buy a ticket.)

They do not want anyone to see articles that promote the traditional family, right to life, immigration, Second Amendment, illegal drugs, equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving), and other planks in the IRP platform and in the Republican Party platform.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Facebook has long relied on algorithms to select news stories for its users to see. Now the social network wants to rely on something else for the same task, too: humans. Specifically, Facebook plans to hire a team of editors to work on a news initiative called News Tab, which is its latest venture into the world of publishing. The Silicon Valley company said that journalists would help curate News Tab, a new section inside of the company’s mobile application that will surface the most recent and relevant stories for readers. Facebook said it planned to hire seasoned journalists from various outlets for the roles and would put up job postings on its employment board on Tuesday.)

— Bodyguard for CNN’s April Ryan charged with assault for forcibly removing journalist from event – Chris Perez (DIERSEN: My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes a) would side with April Ryan and with her bodyguard Joel Morris in this and b) have sided with the pot pushers and their goons who threw me out of the DuPage County Development Committee meeting yesterday.)
https://nypost.com/2019/08/19/bodyguard-for-cnns-april-ryan-charged-with-assault-for-forcibly-removing-journalist-from-event/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: CNN political analyst April Ryan — who has repeatedly blasted President Trump for attacking and vilifying the press — got her bodyguard to forcibly remove a journalist from an event she was speaking at in New Jersey, leading cops to charge him Monday with assault. “This was more than just an assault on me,” tweeted New Brunswick Today editor Charlie Kratovil. “This was an assault on freedom of the press.” Kratovil claims he was violently tossed from the New Jersey Parent Summit on Aug. 3 by Ryan’s goon after spending two hours inside filming other guests and speakers without any problems. Kratovil had been invited to The Heldrich Hotel, where the event was held, by a public relations firm and asked to cover it. Video posted online shows him sitting in the audience as Ryan takes the stage and starts speaking. Moments later, her bodyguard — Joel Morris, 30, of Illinois — comes into view and is told something by Ryan. He promptly walks over to Kratovil and allegedly attempts to take his video camera. “Put that down,” Kratovil yells. “Don’t you dare — put that down, sir! That’s my camera!” A tussle allegedly ensues and Morris winds up walking Kratovil out of the venue — with his arm twisted around his back, the journalist says. “This is a personal event,” Morris can be heard telling him. “You’re not allowed back in.” A woman can be heard screaming at Kratovil at one point, saying: “How dare you come in here and interrupt this event like this!” “I didn’t interrupt,” he fired back. Kratovil posted a video on his Twitter page Monday, explaining how cops found “probable cause” to charge Morris with harassment, assault and theft. “I was there to cover April Ryan’s speech,” Kratovil explained. “Joel Morris stole [my] camera, high-tailed it out of the room. One thing led to another, I ended up being assaulted after retrieving the camera. But now Mr. Morris is going to have to show up on Sept. 12…in Superior Court.” Kratovil added, “It’s a shame that we even have to be at this point.” He read a statement from the NJ Society of Professional Journalists, saying: “It is never under any circumstances permissible for a person aggrieved at being photographed or videotaped to lay hands on the journalist, or attempt to take away the journalist’s equipment.” “It is sad we have to say this, and remind people of this — and it’s super sad that we have to remind another journalist of this,” Kratovil said. “We are still waiting for [Ryan] to comment on this unfortunate incident…Maybe now that there’s criminal charges we might hear something from her. I hope sincerely that she does comment and I hope she does condemn this. This is unacceptable…Not in our country, we have freedom of the press here.” Ryan, in the past, has repeatedly voiced her outrage with Trump and how he treats the media. She even published a book last year — titled “Under Fire” — which talks about the challenges and attacks that journalists have faced in recent years. The longtime political analyst did not immediately respond to requests for comment Monday. “Her silence is deafening at this point,” Kratovil said, speaking to NJ.com. “It’s been more than two weeks. Anybody who’s a journalist should be condemning this.”)
