WASHINGTON TIMES
— College Dems buck DCCC over its ‘blacklist’ policy, see Ocasio-Cortez as inspiration More than 70 campus chapters boycott group, saying it’s ‘antithetical to our values’ – Gabriella Muñoz (DIERSEN: Should I write a book about those individuals, organizations, companies, and governments that blacklist me and blacklist my GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails? Attend a Milton Township Republican Central Committee meeting and watch them in action.) 
https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2019/may/10/college-democrats-buck-dccc-over-primary-challenge/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: House Democrats’ plans to blacklist rebellious strategists have sparked a backlash from a key party demographic, with dozens of chapters of College Democrats vowing to boycott the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee over its efforts to protect incumbents from primary challenges. In doing so, the boycotting chapters are finding a champion in popular freshman Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York. They dissenting College Democrats chapters are objecting to the DCCC’s new rule refusing to do business with consultants, pollsters and other campaign workers who sign on to work for challengers seeking primary incumbent Democrats. The chapters are calling on their members not to donate to the DCCC, and to ask others also to withhold their support. “The rule would financially deter and greatly disadvantage vital new voices in our party, who are often younger and come from underrepresented and historically marginalized communities and identities,” the boycotters said in a statement. “This blacklist policy is undemocratic and antithetical to our values of inclusion and diversity.”)

— Good news, graduates: Hiring will be up this year – Maurie Backman (DIERSEN: When you earned your bachelor’s degree, what harmed your job search? For me, it was my being draft bait. Employers did not believe that my application for a financial hardship draft deferment would be approved. Consequently, I accepted the only job offer that I received. It was for a job that did really require my bachelor’s degree in management from NIU. Further, I had not demonstrated leadership abilities. I had worked part-time for the Post Office in Park Forest for almost 3 years and I had worked part-time for the S.S. Kresges in Chicago Heights as a dish washer for 1 ½ years and I doubt that employers saw that favorably.)

— Group that funded civil war in Texas GOP launches new offensive – Taylor Goldenstein
https://www.expressnews.com/news/politics/texas_legislature/article/Group-that-funded-civil-war-in-Texas-GOP-launches-13805267.php
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Empower Texans made its name by using its political action committee’s deep pockets to threaten Republicans with aggressive primary challenges if they fell out of line with the conservative group’s hardline agenda. Then the 2018 elections happened. State records show the Tea Party-aligned group spent a record sum of more than $4 million last year — more than three times the amount it spent in the 2016 presidential year. Yet the majority of the candidates it endorsed, 26 out of 47, lost their primary, general and special elections. If its increasingly irate email blasts are any indication, that’s led to a frustrating legislative session for the group — one that’s often left it on the sidelines of major debates. The budget, with an additional $9 billion for public education and tax reform, is oversized, members complain. Property tax solutions offered up thus far are “not relief, just reform,” they scoff. Some conservative lawmakers are voicing the same critique. Texas Take: Get political headlines from across the state sent directly to your inbox)

— A writer comes home to ever-changing South Shore to find the middle class disappearing – Christopher Borrelli (DIERSEN: How has your precinct changed over the past 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35+ years? I should write a book on how my DuPage County Milton Township Precinct 9 in Wheaton has changed since my wife and I had our home built at 915 Cove Court in 1984. From what I see, tragically, 4 out 5 times that a home is sold, it goes from conservative Republican to liberal Democrat. Ever-increasingly, liberal Democrats see DuPage County, Milton Township, and Wheaton a) as moving to the left and b) being welcoming safe places for them. Ever-increasingly, they see DuPage County, Milton Township, and Wheaton leaders failing/refusing to defend/advance the traditional family, right to life, immigration, Second Amendment, illegal drugs, and equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) planks in the Illinois Republican Party (IRP) platform and in the Republican Party platform. In my precinct, they see how the IRP, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Milton Township Republican Central Committee treat conservative Republicans like me.)

Since 1984, I have spent hundreds of hours and thousands of dollars for my home at 915 Cove Court in Wheaton a) making lot drainage improvements including installing French drains and storm sewer inlets, b) paying for an overhead sewer system, c) paying to have all nine of the home’s downspouts directly connected to the city storm sewer system, d) patching long wide cracks in the basement floor, e) having the home’s exterior footing tiles cleaned out, f) properly connecting 6″ and 4″ drainage tile lines from uphill properties to the city storm sewer system, g) installing battery backup sump pumps, h) etc. The builder a) put steel reinforcement rods in the foundation walls to compensate for cracked foundation footings and b) installed interior footing tiles.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: A week before the maggots hatched, raw sewage gushed into Lori Burns’ basement for the sixth time in a decade. Her brick bungalow in the Chatham neighborhood was among thousands of Chicago homes swamped by another rainstorm that overwhelmed the city’s aging sewer system. This particular downpour ended up as one of the worst on record. Two months’ worth of rain fell in two days during April 2013 — a storm marked by geysers of human waste bursting out of manholes, and a torrent of sewage and runoff surging through the Chicago River into Lake Michigan.)

HERALD & REVIEW
— Decatur collected $6 million from video gambling. One city official says ‘this is not what we bargained for.’ – JAYLYN COOK
https://herald-review.com/news/local/govt-and-politics/decatur-collected-million-from-video-gambling-one-city-official-says/article_0cccbb64-0826-58fd-aa08-d378db8ee7c3.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Anita Bedell, executive director of Illinois Church Action on Alcohol and Addiction Problems, said there have been successful attempts by municipalities to oppose or overturn the presence of video gambling in Illinois. An example she referenced happened in Forest Park, which voted to outlaw video gaming in November after initially allowing it in the community . . .Bedell said the data surrounding losses is a sign that people are addicted to the gambling and play several times a day with no return on investment. The National Council on Problem Gambling said two million, or 1%, of adults in the United States are estimated to meet criteria for pathological gambling in a given year. Another four to six million adults would be considered problem gamblers, meaning they don’t meet the full diagnostic criteria for pathological gambling, but meet one or more of the criteria and are experiencing problems due to their gambling behavior. The NCPG also said most adults who choose to gamble are able to do so responsibly. Bedell said it’s tough for those addicted to gambling in Illinois to find the support they need. “The state has very little money for treatment and prevention,” she said. “A lot of the times what people have are Gamblers Anonymous meetings. They have quite a few in northern Illinois, but in central, it’s sparse.” Bedell said the prevalence of video gaming machines in places like restaurants, grocery stores and other venues has taken the need for visiting a casino away from people and allowed them to “gamble more and lose more.” Whobrey said he notices the effect gambling has on some people. He calls the machines at the VFW post a “necessary evil” because they provide a financial boost, but can also drive people to spend money that they may not have. “Some people come here, don’t buy a thing and spend it on gaming,” he said. “But the money helps us provide services for the veterans … It’s kept here in Decatur. That’s a big thing.”)

Since the 1940s, because my mother stayed home and raised me, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have demonized me, denigrated me, and condemned me as having been born with a silver spoon in my mouth and as having always been undeservedly privileged and filthy rich. In my defense, neither of my outstanding parents attended college, my mother was raised on a farm and never attended high school, my father fought type 1 diabetes from age 14, and he was the first of his ancestors to earn a high school diploma. To pay our family’s bills, he almost always worked second jobs including playing music, delivering eggs, and working in a fast food restaurant. He did not buy a new car until he was 45 in 1967 and it was a bottom of the line 2-door Chevy with almost no options.)

If more than 20 candidates qualify for the debate, the party said candidates who meet both criteria will be given priority on the debate stages. If more than 20 candidates qualify using both methods, those candidates with the highest polling averages will be given preference.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Today, some on the left are suggesting that “electability” is somehow a dog whistle for proponents of the white patriarchy in much the same way that supporters of Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., called “likability” an unfair barrier at the beginning of this year. “Metrics like authenticity and likability and electability are just code that we use against candidates who are not like what we are used to,” a spokeswoman for Emily’s List told Vox in March.)

LEXINGTON DISPATCH
— Columnists who divide don’t deserve platform – Steve Buckley, Elon
https://www.the-dispatch.com/opinion/20190512/letter-columnists-who-divide-dont-deserve-platform
(FROM THE LETTER: Editor, in your recent Sunday column you wrote, “what I don’t like is politicians who strive to divide their constituents.” What is your position on newspapers that strive to divide their readers? Syndicated columnist Leonard Pitts wrote in the Times-News, “anyone who voted for Trump is a racist and misogynist.” I’d say that is fairly divisive and also inaccurate. Local columnist Jan Fuller, the chaplain at Elon University, wrote recently that all white gun owners are racists. She neglected to mention black gun owners. I have no idea how she pigeonholes them. Sweeping generalizations are never right. Those made by these columnists are very divisive and do not deserve a public platform. Their inclusion in the Times-News helps to divide your readers.)

EURASIA REVIEW
— Sri Lanka Government Begins Paying Compensations For Easter Sunday Terror Victims (DIERSEN: How soon will the Democrats in your municipality, in your township/ward, in your county, in Illinois, and in America officially establish reparations offices like Sri Lanka has? Ever-increasingly, in America, since the Civil War, the federal government has served as a reparations office. Ever-increasingly, it promotes Affirmative Action, Diversity, and Inclusion.) 
https://www.eurasiareview.com/12052019-sri-lanka-government-begins-paying-compensations-for-easter-sunday-terror-victims/

(FROM THE ARTICLE: The families of 103 victims killed in the Easter Sunday bombings on April 21 have received Reparations  47 million in compensations to date, Sri Lanka’s Secretary of the National Policies, Economic Affairs, Resettlement and Rehabilitation, Northern Province Development and Youth Affairs Ministry, V. Sivagnanasothy said. The ministry’s Office for Reparations rushed through compensations for death victims based on reports from Divisional Secretaries, Judicial Medical Officers and Coroners, Sivagnanasothy said. What the families of the deceased victims have received is a partial payment, not the full compensation payment, which is Rs 1 million in total, Sivagnanasothy said. The Office for Reparations expects to pay out full compensation claims after it has received relevant death certificates of the victims. Most families of deceased victims have yet to furnish death certificates for the persons declared killed in the bombings, Sivagnanasothy said. The ministry has received 266 cases claiming death compensations and 407 cases claiming compensations for injuries. Sivagnanasothy said those who suffered injuries will be paid up to Rs500,000 depending on the nature, the disability based on a medical certificate issued by a government medical offers, and also on loss of income suffered due to injuries.)

DAILY HERALD
— FRONT PAGE TOP OF FOLD WITH COLOR PHOTO OF CHIEF STEVEN STELTER: Legalize pot? No way, says leader of state police chief association – Charles Keeshan and Susan Sarkauskas (DIERSEN: Needless-to-say, every municipality, every township/ward, every county, and every state in America should discourage pot usage. The Wheaton City Council is seeking applicants for city’s vacant North District City Council position. Applicants are asked to submit a statement identifying the three most important issues that they believe the city needs to address in the next two years as well as their opinion on how those issues could be addressed. Needless-to-say, applicants should state that discouraging pot usage is one of Wheaton’s most important issues and that Wheaton should do everything that it can to discourage pot usage. Applicants should state in no uncertain terms that they will vote against legalizing the sale of pot in Wheaton.)
https://www.dailyherald.com/news/20190510/legalize-pot-no-way-says-leader-of-state-police-chief-association
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The suburban police chief recently elected president of the Illinois Association of Chiefs of Police says he’s making it a top priority to fight the legalization of recreational marijuana use here. “It is a disastrous move,” Chief Steven Stelter said, ticking off more than a half-dozen reasons the association opposes the proposed Cannabis Regulation and Tax Act. Among them: more fatal crashes and more violent crime in states that have legalized it. . .”I’m sure everybody that wants to grow is going to stick to five plants,” he said with more than a hint of sarcasm. The chiefs association also disputes the belief that legalization will reduce the black market for the drug, and it says overseas drug cartels have set up grow operations in rental or foreclosed houses in states where marijuana is legal. “It is destroying our children in legal states,” Stelter said, referring to reports that use by seventh- and eighth-graders increased in those places, and there has been an increase in calls to poison-control centers about children who ingested marijuana-laced edibles. Politicians in Illinois are turning a blind eye to these concerns, he said. “They don’t even want to hear it.”)

https://www.thetelegraph.com/news/article/Illinois-bill-gives-student-aid-to-undocumented-13830580.php
(FROM THE ARTICLE: But the idea provoked strong opposition from Republicans, who argued that expanding the pool of students who are eligible for MAP grants by allowing noncitizens to receive them would crowd out legal citizens from getting them. “Ladies and gentlemen, the math is simple,” Sen. Jim Oberweis, a Sugar Grove Republican, said. “Each and every one of us have students in our districts who are relying on MAP funding. If we’re going to take some of that funding away from our citizens and give it to noncitizens, that means we’re depriving some of our citizens, some of our students, from being able to have that funding to help with their education. This is just absolutely, fundamentally wrong.”)

— The Next Battlefront: Social Media – Rick Hayes
https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2019/05/the_next_battlefront__social_media.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Imagine a day when newspapers only publish articles regarding the benefits of late-term abortions, socialism, and open borders. Where history books vilify Republican conservatives for fighting to defend slavery, inciting segregation, and founding the KKK. Cable news shows would only report crimes committed by conservatives or capitalists and social media only allowed leftist ideas to be communicated over their platforms. Well, if the left continues its scorched-earth policy against free speech, in no time at all the United States will have no resemblance to what the Founding Fathers envisioned. So many examples exist that fully detail the poverty, violence, and atrocities that quickly emerge when free speech is taken away that it raises the question as to why so many younger Americans are indifferent about the loss of such an important right.)

GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— Past and present candidates and elected officials who spoke at Milton Township Republican Central Committee’s (MTRCC) outstanding meeting Wednesday evening, May 8, 2019, at the Wheaton Bowl Banquet Hall included Bucholz, Ives, Jorgensen, Kachiroubas, Keller, Larsen, LeVan, Molitor, Monino, Sanguinetti, and Whelan. DuPage County Recorder Fred Bucholz announced that he was not running again and endorsed Babette Holder for the position. Meeting attendees included Almiron, Bohn, Carlson, Caruso, Cooper, Crane, Dangelo, Elliott, Falbo, Fitzpatrick, Galvin, Holder, Jensen, Kinzler, Krzyzewski, Lofgren, Lollino, McGowen, Muehlfelt, Nathwani, Rash, Ryan, Shaw, Slinger, Smith, and Tatro. How fast and how far have the organizations that you are a member of moved to the left? I should write a book about how fast and how far the Illinois Republican Party, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and the MTRCC have moved to the left. 10 years ago, I easily got the MTRCC to pass a resolution against video gambling. Today, I doubt that I could get the MTRCC to pass a resolution against recreational pot. – Dave Diersen

GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— Too many articles? My critics/opponents say that GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails contain links to too many articles. The articles that they want me to cut are those which a) promote Trump, b) promote the traditional family, right to life, immigration, Second Amendment, illegal drugs, and equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) planks in the Illinois Republican Party (IRP) platform and the Republican Party platform, and/or c) promote the Milton Township Republican Central Committee (MTRCC) resolution against video gambling. The only articles that they want you to see are those that the IRP, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and MTRCC officers approve of. They want you to a) spend all your time on their websites and Facebook and b) spend none of your time reading GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails. They demonize, denigrate, and condemn the format that I use for GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails. – Dave Diersen

NAPERVILLE COMMUNITY TV
— City Council Discusses Recreational Marijuana (DIERSEN: Needless-to-say, each and every mayor and each and every city council member in Illinois and each and every candidate for the aforesaid positions should state on the record that they will vote to pass ordinances a) to “opt out” of the retail sale of pot and b) to impose zoning restrictions on the commercial growing of pot. The Wheaton City Council is seeking applicants for city’s vacant North District City Council position. Applicants are asked to submit a statement identifying the three most important issues that they believe the city needs to address in the next two years as well as their opinion on how those issues could be addressed. Needless-to-say, applicants should state that discouraging pot usage is one of Wheaton’s most important issues. According to Capitol Fax’s Rich Miller, “Dude, I got news for you: Cannabis is already in your neighborhood. Your neighbors are consuming it, perhaps even right this moment. And most of your neighbors want it legalized.” SEE: https://capitolfax.com/2019/05/07/moylan-apparently-doesnt-realize-that-people-use-cannabis-now/)
https://www.nctv17.com/news/council-discusses-recreational-marijuana/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Governor J.B. Pritzker recently introduced a bill that would legalize the sale and possession of recreational marijuana statewide. And with the Democratic Party in control of the Illinois House and Senate, Illinois becoming the 11th state to legalize cannabis is likely. City council discussed what that means for Naperville at its most recent meeting. “Will we see an increase in crime? Will we see a decrease in medical calls? What have other similar communities like ours seen after legalization that we should consider?” asked Councilwoman Patty Gustin.)

https://www.wglt.org/post/mclean-county-libertarians-host-illinois-separation-founder-0#stream/0
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The party’s McLean County chairman Steve Suess acknowledged any effort to create a 51st state has little chance of going anywhere, but he said he wants to start a philosophical debate, something he said the party has succeeded in doing in the past. “The Libertarian Party has supported cannabis legalization since 1971 when it was formed, and look at where we are now,” Suess said. “The Libertarian party has supported gender and sexual minority rights since it was founded. It’s first presidential candidate was openly gay.” Suess said the county’s libertarians haven’t taken a formal stance on separation, but he endorses it. He said Illinois’ regional differences are too great to be governed by the same state legislative body.)

DEKALB DAILY JOURNAL
— Would legal marijuana bring dispensaries to DeKalb, Sycamore? Mayors weigh in DeKalb, Sycamore mayors weigh in on recreational marijuana legalization – KELSEY RETTKE (DIERSEN: Needless-to-say, each and every mayor and each and every city council member in Illinois and each and every candidate for the aforesaid positions should state on the record that they will vote to pass ordinances a) to “opt out” of the retail sale of pot and b) to impose zoning restrictions on the commercial growing of pot. The Wheaton City Council is seeking applicants for city’s vacant North District City Council position. Applicants are asked to submit a statement identifying the three most important issues that they believe the city needs to address in the next two years as well as their opinion on how those issues could be addressed. Needless-to-say, applicants should state that discouraging pot usage is one of Wheaton’s most important issues. According to Capitol Fax’s Rich Miller, “Dude, I got news for you: Cannabis is already in your neighborhood. Your neighbors are consuming it, perhaps even right this moment. And most of your neighbors want it legalized.” SEE: https://capitolfax.com/2019/05/07/moylan-apparently-doesnt-realize-that-people-use-cannabis-now/)
https://www.daily-chronicle.com/2019/05/07/would-legal-marijuana-bring-dispensaries-to-dekalb-sycamore-mayors-weigh-in/al897t/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: If Illinois lawmakers do decide to legalize marijuana use by adults by 2020, DeKalb Mayor Jerry Smith says it will be a community decision on whether a dispensary is allowed to open in his city. Smith was in Springfield on Wednesday lobbying on behalf of the city with the Illinois Municipal League. He says he expects the legalization proposal will pass.)

CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— DECEMBER 24, 2003 FLASHBACK: Church arsonist receives 39 years – Ted Gregory (DIERSEN: Palinski was a registered Republican voter in my precinct. According to this article, Palinski’s “life started unraveling when he began using marijuana, cocaine, heroin and other drugs as a teenager.” I should try to arrange for Palinski to speak at public hearings in Wheaton about the evils of pot.)
https://www.chicagotribune.com/news/ct-xpm-2003-12-24-0312240124-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A Wheaton man who was admonished by a judge as a “selfish heartbreaker” received 39 years in prison Tuesday for setting fires that destroyed a Catholic church and damaged his next-door neighbor’s home, and for trying to arrange the murder of a prosecution witness in those cases. Adam Palinski, 22, a college student with a history of emotional instability, was sentenced by DuPage County Judge Perry Thompson. Palinski broke the hearts of parishioners at Wheaton’s St. Michael Catholic Church, which Palinski and his family attended, as well as the hearts of his neighbors and relatives, Thompson said. Thompson noted at Tuesday’s sentencing that family members testified Palinski is loving, courteous and religious. “Had any of those good qualities been present on the days in question, we would not be here today,” Thompson said. “Your dreams are going to be deferred for a long time.” In November, juries found Palinski guilty of arson, aggravated arson and solicitation of murder for hire. Aided by a videotaped confession and audio tapes of wiretapped conversations, prosecutors said Palinski set fire to the inside of the church about 2 a.m. March 18, 2002, after a night of drinking. The church, which was destroyed, is offering masses for the estimated 2,700 families in its school gymnasium. St. Michael’s leaders estimate the cost of rebuilding to be $9.75 million. About $4.5 million has been raised. After setting the church ablaze, Palinski splashed gasoline on his neighbor’s home and ignited it, prosecutors said. It went out before the residents awoke that morning. No one was injured. On one of the tapes, when investigators asked why Palinski set the fires, he replied: “No particular reason. I was bored.” Five months after his arrest, Palinski was charged with trying to find a hit man to kill a friend who obtained informal admissions of guilt from Palinski by wearing a court-approved listening device. At Tuesday’s sentencing, DuPage County Assistant State’s Atty. Joseph Ruggiero, who prosecuted the case with Steven Knight, said Palinski was a liar whose life started unraveling when he began using marijuana, cocaine, heroin and other drugs as a teenager.)

— It’s Not Just Older Workers Who Get Hurt by Ageism Turns out younger employees fall victim to age discrimination, too. – Maurie Backman (DIERSEN: The Democrats who ran GAO during the 1980s and 1990s used Affirmative Action, Diversity, Inclusion, up-or-out, and budget cuts to get rid of virtually all of the agency’s employees who were Republican, White, male, and/or non-veteran who they had not promoted to GS-13 (currently $98,198) by age 25, GS-14 (currently $116,040) by age 30, GS-15 (currently $136,495) by age 35, and Senior Executive Service (currently $165,500) by age 40.

CAPITOL RESEARCH CENTER
— Don’t Trust the Messenger: The “Right” Reporting? (DIERSEN: He who pays the piper calls the tunes. Everyone in journalism should be required to disclose the sources and amounts of their income. My Civil Service Retirement System pension is $53,316/year, my Social Security is $2,118/year, and my RMD is about $10,000/year.) 
https://capitalresearch.org/article/dont-trust-the-messenger-part-4/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Conservatives and right-leaning moderates know that in order to get the “full story” they should read not only the Wall Street Journal and National Review, but also the Washington Post and The Atlantic. After all, it’s important to know how the other half of America thinks and feels about the news of the day. However, the media landscape isn’t what it used to be—where once there were nominally nonpartisan broadcast and print media, new nonprofit newsrooms backed by big liberal foundation resources have risen, even as conservative platforms have folded. But that doesn’t mean conservative readers and writers should resign themselves to obsolescence: a combination of foundation giving and visionary leadership could breathe new life into conservative and even less-partisan journalism, while providing the stability and flexibility necessary for new outlets to thrive.)

I should write a book about those who have a low opinion of me. They a) reject planks in the Republican Party platform and/or the Illinois Republican Party platform and work against those like me who support those planks, b) reject the Milton Township Republican Central Committee resolution against video gambling and work against those like me who support that resolution, c) focus on destroying those like me who they cannot manipulate/dominate, d) were defendants in lawsuits that I have filed, and/or e) are operatives or dupes for the aforesaid.)

— Facebook boots Farrakhan, but whom does he harm? Himself, mostly – Neil Steinberg (DIERSEN: According to Wikipedia, Steinberg “began his journalism career in Chicago’s suburbs, working for the Barrington Courier-Review. He later wrote for the now-defunct Wheaton Daily Journal newspaper, but was fired after writing a column that made fun of the paper’s publisher.”)
https://chicago.suntimes.com/news/steinberg-facebook-farrakhan-bigotry-nation-islam/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: When I worked at the Wheaton Daily Journal, a third of a century ago, conservative Christians in that town engaged in a strategy I called “wallpapering the world.” They would seek out what they objected to and try to cover it up so they didn’t have to look at it, whether Playboys tucked behind the counter at the local 7-Eleven or the College of DuPage performing “Sister Mary Ignatius Explains it All for You.” That didn’t work because it never works. We are each in charge of our lives, and must embrace or reject what we ourselves feel must be embraced or rejected. The problem isn’t that Farrakhan believes hateful delusions; the problem is that other people seek them out. Blocking Farrakhan won’t solve that; they’ll just find their fix somewhere else.)

http://www.lowellsun.com/news/ci_32613070/about-face-dracut-parade
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The Dracut Republican Town Committee will be marching in the town’s Memorial Day Parade on May 27 after all, ending a rollercoaster that spanned two weeks. Selectmen Chair Jesse Forcier on Friday confirmed that the decision came after a discussion with town administration and representation from the American Legion Post 315. Forcier added that this opens up parade participation to other political groups as well. “The Republican Town Committee’s application will be processed and they will be extended every courtesy and allowed to march,” Forcier said when reached by phone. This latest twist comes after flip-flops that captivated the attention of many in town and angered Brian Genest, chairman of the Dracut Republican Town Committee. Two weeks ago, the committee was informed that Town Manager Jim Duggan was not allowing them to participate. Members of the Board of Selectmen last Tuesday strongly disagreed with Duggan’s decision at a meeting. Forcier during that meeting’s recess told a Sun reporter that the directive for Duggan was to allow the committee to march. The committee was barred once again the following day — this time by the American Legion Post 315. Richard Ducharme, commander of the Legion, said at the time that the organization puts on the event, while the town helps organize the order of bands and participants.)

FORBES
— How Living Longer Impacts Your Retirement – Gregory Ostrowski (DIERSEN: My Civil Service Retirement System pension is only 42% of what my salary was in 1997 in today’s dollars.)
https://www.forbes.com/sites/forbesfinancecouncil/2019/05/01/how-living-longer-impacts-your-retirement/#160ea2d560be
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Especially for those on fixed incomes, such as retirees, inflation can negatively impact your standard of living in retirement by diminishing the purchasing power of your income. One way to prepare for such a scenario that can also help you overcome the risk of outliving your savings is to build a buffer into your retirement income projections. For instance, if you believe that a retirement income of $6,000 per month will be enough to pay your expenses, plan to save enough to generate $7,000 a month. Or if you think $7,000 per month will be enough, aim for $8,000, etc.)

— The Average Social Security Recipient Today Only Gets This Much Income Hint: It’s really not enough to live comfortably on. – Maurie Backman (DIERSEN: My Civil Service Retirement System pension is only 42% of what my salary was in 1997 in today’s dollars.) 
https://www.fool.com/retirement/2019/05/02/the-average-social-security-recipient-today-only-g.aspx
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Just as you need a roof over your head, a means of transportation, food, clothing, and healthcare during your working years, so too do you need all of these things in retirement. The same holds true for things like utilities, cable, communications (think your cellphone and internet service), and even leisure. Therefore, it’s silly to think that you’ll get by on 40% of your former earnings while maintaining a standard of living that’s similar to what you’re used to today. And even if you are willing to cut back on some expenses, to live on Social Security alone would likely require some drastic changes — changes you likely won’t be happy with.)

I would focus on my critics/opponents who are Republican, White, male, and older who have lots of religious, government, political, and/or financial clout in Wheaton, in Glen Ellyn, in Milton Township, in DuPage County, and in Illinois.) 
http://www.brinkwire.com/science/microsoft-employees-question-if-diversity-is-important/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Several Microsoft employees have been questioning whether diversity is important and slammed the tech giant for ‘discriminatory hiring’ against Asians and white men. The employees have been debating the company’s pro-diversity push on an internal online message board meant for communicating with Microsoft’s CEO Satya Nadella. Two posts that have been heavily argued were written by a female Microsoft program manager, Quartz reports. One of those posts questioned Microsoft’s push to hire more women and minorities, arguing that it discriminates against white and Asian men. It also criticizes the monetary incentives senior leadership are awarded if they hire female or minority employees. ‘Does Microsoft have any plans to end the current policy that financially incentivizes discriminatory hiring practices? To be clear, I am referring to the fact that senior leadership is awarded more money if they discriminate against Asians and white men,’ one post reads. ‘I have an ever-increasing file of white male Microsoft employees who have faced outright and overt discrimination because they had the misfortune of being born both white and male. This is unacceptable,’ she wrote in a follow up post on the thread.)

— Income can peak before you’re ready (and what that means for retirement) – LIZ WESTON (DIERSEN: If you are retired, when did your income peak? My income peaked in 1997 when I was 49 years old at $72,460/year, or at $127,654/year in today’s dollars.) 
https://www.dailyherald.com/business/20190505/income-can-peak-before-youre-ready-and-what-that-means-for-retirement
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Most retirement calculators are optimistic to a fault. They assume our incomes will rise throughout our working lives, or at least stay roughly the same. In reality, our incomes are likely to peak years — and sometimes decades — before we retire. Consider this: People’s biggest wage increases tend to happen in their 20s and 30s, with more modest increases in midlife followed by declines, according to a 2016 analysis of Social Security earnings records underwritten by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. Most people’s incomes peak by age 45, the researchers found, although the top 20% of earners peaked in their 50s. More than half of those who enter their 50s with a stable job are laid off or otherwise forced out the door, and the vast majority don’t recover financially, according to analysis by ProPublica and the Urban Institute. These may be grim statistics, but if you’re tempted to put off saving for retirement, take heed. “When you’re 40 and things are going well, you think, ‘OK, I can see when things are going to get better and that’s when I can save for retirement,'” says Gary Burtless, an economist with the Brookings Institution who studies earnings patterns. “And those days just don’t come.” THE BIGGEST GAINS COME EARLY What’s true on average for a group of people may not be true for an individual, of course. Understanding these general patterns, though, could help people make better decisions about spending, saving and when to retire. Generally, the more education people have, the more money they make over their lifetime and the later their earnings peak, Burtless says. “For somebody with a position like professor at a university, it might be when they’re in the second half of their 50s, as opposed to the second half of their 30s, which it might be for your brother-in-law who failed to complete high school,” Burtless says. But the 50s tends to be a dangerous decade for workers, according to ProPublica, an independent nonprofit newsroom, and the Urban Institute, a nonprofit think tank that researches social and economic issues. The researchers found 56% of full-time, full-year workers ages 51 to 54 suffered an involuntary job loss after age 50 that had a substantial economic impact, either by reducing their earnings at least 50% or resulting in six months or more of unemployment. The median household income of these workers dropped 42%, and only one in 10 ever earned as much after they left their jobs as before. An additional 9% left their jobs involuntarily for personal reasons such as health. The analysis was based on data from the University of Michigan Health and Retirement Study, which tracks 20,000 people in the U.S. SAVE EARLY AND AVOID LIFESTYLE CREEP Job disruptions and declining earnings help explain why so many people in their 60s have so little saved, Burtless says.)

PEORIA JOURNAL STAR
— May 16 event aims to explain real estate tax bills – Chris Kaergard (DIERSEN: Realistically, do you believe that could you sell your home for what your assessor says it is worth? I do not.

My real estate tax bill is $11,089 with a $362 senior exemption, or 2.23% of the $492,300 that my assessor says my home is worth. Of that $11,089 real estate tax bill, $7,484 is for Wheaton Warrenville School District 200, $1,430 is for the City of Wheaton, $1,144 is for the Wheaton Park District, $474 is for DuPage County governments, $355 is for the College of DuPage, $178 is for Milton Township, and $25 is for the Wheaton Mosquito Abatement District.)

In my defense, I earned a) a job-related bachelor’s degree when I was 21 in 1970 and job-related master’s degrees when I was 27, 31, and 48, b) job-related professional certifications when I was 30, 32, 41, 45, 47, and 48, and c) a job-related professional license when I was 32.)
