In 1971, I viewed my stolen 1969 Dodge Charger SE in a Chicago auto pound. Because it had been stripped and damaged so much, I accepted a $2,500 insurance settlement and used it for a down payment on a new 1972 Corvette which I continue to own.)

Diersen-haters view the Wheaton Bowl Banquet Hall as being a “safe place” for them.) 
https://www.oflaherty-law.com/learn-about-law/defamation-in-illinois
(FROM THE ARTICLE: In this article, we will explain defamation law in Illinois. In order to state a cause of action for defamation in Illinois, the plaintiff must allege the following elements: ‍The defendant made a false statement about the plaintiff; ‍Made with actual malice or negligence; ‍That was published to a third party; ‍That damaged the plaintiff. ‍There are two types of defamation in Illinois, defamation per se and defamation per quod. Defamation per se consists of certain types of statements that the law considers to be automatically damaging and for which damages need not be proven. A statement that does not qualify as defamation per se is classified as defamation per quod. In defamation per quod cases, the plaintiff must prove actual monetary damages. The following types of statements qualify as defamation per se: statements accusing the plaintiff of a crime; statements asserting that the plaintiff has a “loathsome” communicable disease; statements asserting that the plaintiff is unable to perform in his or her employment or lacks integrity in his or her employment; statements that harm the plaintiff in his or her profession; and ‍statements accusing the plaintiff of adultery or fornication. ‍The statute of limitations for defamation actions is 1 year. ‍In Illinois there is no distinction between libel (written defamation) and slander (oral defamation). Many types of statements are privileged, meaning that the speaker will not be held accountable for defamation even if the elements of defamation would otherwise have been met. Privilege usually depends on the context in which the statement is made, such as statements made in a court of law.)

SPRINGFIELD STATE JOURNAL REGISTER
— Education officials, lawmakers look at alternatives to teacher testing – Cassie Buchman (DIERSEN: What tests have you passed? I passed a) the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979 when I was 30 years old, b) the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981, c) all the tests necessary to earn a master’s degree in financial markets and trading from IIT in 1997, d) all the tests necessary to earn a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980, e) all the tests necessary to earn a master’s degree in business from Loyola in 1976, f) all the tests necessary to earn a bachelor’s degree in management from NIU in 1970, g) the Federal Service Entrance Examination in 1970, and h) the Post Office employment examination in 1966.)
https://www.sj-r.com/news/20190427/education-officials-lawmakers-look-at-alternatives-to-teacher-testing
(FROM THE ARTICLE: As the teacher shortage in Illinois has grown to what some say are “crisis” levels, education officials and lawmakers are looking to change the way potential teachers are assessed. One reason for the shortage cited by the education community is the glut of tests required to get a teaching license in Illinois — along with the fact students aren’t passing them at the level they used to. To get a teaching license in Illinois, students need to pass a basic skills test, another test called the edTPA and a content-area test. Of those who took the basic skills test, called the Test of Academic Proficiency, in the first three months of this year, 25 percent passed, according to data on the Illinois State Board of Education’s website. ISBE is putting the TAP on hold starting June 30 as it looks at different ways to assess basic skills. State Rep. Sue Scherer, D-Decatur, is the sponsor of House Bill 423, which would eliminate the test until 2025. Sen. Andy Manar, D-Bunker Hill, introduced a bill, Senate Bill 1952, that would get rid of the basic skills test permanently. Both bills were approved in one chamber earlier this month and await consideration in the other chamber. The Illinois State Board of Education has taken a neutral position on the bills, a lobbyist for the agency said during a recent meeting. As a teacher, Scherer saw many examples of would-be teachers held back by the basic skills test. She linked the difficulties to students’ test anxiety and the poorly written test. The questions, Scherer said, are abstract to the point where students can’t figure out what the questions are asking. There also is an argument the tests are discriminatory toward people of color. Scherer says the tests don’t take life experiences or cultural differences into account. During the first quarter of the year, 12 percent of African-American students and 14 percent of Hispanic students passed the basic skills test.)

AMERICAN THINKER
— Real Leverage on Illegal Immigration – Mike Razar
https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2019/04/real_leverage_on_illegal_immigration_.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The main reason it is so difficult to deal with illegal immigration is that there is an unwritten but not secret alliance between RINOs who want cheap labor and leftists who want new voters. It is not clear whether either side of that bargain really gets what it wants, but it endures. Meanwhile, conservatives want a secure border and the rule of law. Keeping criminals and drugs out is a high priority and only a wall or other barriers will do, The RINOs and leftists are willing to tolerate the criminals and drugs in return for their other goals. What do conservatives want? Of course, no list will be agreed to by all but here are the main desired reforms: Build a border wall or other barriers. Mandate E-verify. End chain migration. End the visa lottery. End “catch and release”. Tighten rules for asylum seekers and only admit them after they prove their case. End sanctuary cities, states, or other jurisdictions. Add citizenship question to 2020 census. Redistrict based on only U.S. citizens. Liberals want none of the above; they want open borders.)

Democrat plants, Libertarian plants, Green plants, and RINOs in the aforesaid organizations want the aforesaid organizations to dump 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.

https://thehill.com/homenews/state-watch/440329-gop-plots-comeback-in-orange-county
(FROM THE ARTICLE: In 1990, almost two-thirds of Orange County residents were non-Hispanic whites. Today, the population is 40 percent non-Hispanic white, about a third are Hispanic, and 18 percent are of Asian heritage. As recently as 2010, Republicans enjoyed a registration advantage of almost 200,000 voters; today, the number of Republican voters outnumber Democrats by fewer than 20,000, and another 400,000 voters decline to choose a party. The changing electorate gave Democrats a chance to capitalize on an unpopular president, even as Republicans showed up to defend their seats. Republican turnout actually increased across Orange County by more than 100,000 votes between the 2014 and 2018 midterm elections — but Democratic turnout surged by nearly 200,000 votes, swamping the GOP, according to the Democratic data firm TargetSmart.)

They certainly made me pay the price. 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.)

EPOCH NEWS
— Challenges From Legal and Illegal Immigration – David T. Jones (DIERSEN: Have you held “dirty” jobs? My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have made it very clear that they would never have stooped to take the jobs that I did. I did yard work and delivered newspapers 1962-1964; washed dishes 1964-1966; cleaned golf shoes, chipped slag, and pumped gasoline in 1966; delivered mail 1966-1969; worked on an automobile assembly line and as a security guard in 1970; sold tires, automotive services, and major appliances 1970-1971; pumped gasoline 1971-1972; collected delinquent taxes 1971-1980; and audited federal agencies 1980-1997.) 
https://www.theepochtimes.com/challenges-from-legal-and-illegal-immigration_2896589.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: More than a generation of desultory control over illegal immigration is the consequence of wink-and-nod implicit agreement between Republicans and Democrats. Republican entrepreneurs/citizens have benefitted from cheap crop-pickers and service workers. Democrats have viewed them as a prospective reservoir of votes, once maneuvered into citizenship. There is a simple albeit draconian answer: specific visas for specific periods (harvest seasons) and specific jobs with no qualified U.S. applicants rigorously enforced by mandatory ID/E-Verify registration. And instant deportation for all not meeting these requirements. The rationale that our current low unemployment rate justifies these illegals is risible: if you want workers for “dirty” jobs—pay them more and they will emerge.)

According to the Social Security Administration, men who have reached age 70 can expect to live roughly 15 more years, and women can expect to live about 17 more years, but lifestyle and health factors can shift the calculus. And as people get older, the probability of illness, disability, and death increases, as do the chances of cognitive impairment.)

https://www.newsday.com/news/nation/biden-got-5-draft-deferments-during-nam-as-did-cheney-1.884250
(FROM THE ARTICLE: DOVER, Del. – Democratic vice presidential nominee Joe Biden received five student draft deferments during the Vietnam War, the same number of deferments received by Vice President Dick Cheney, and later was disqualified from service because of asthma that he suffered as a teenager. Officials with Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama’s campaign released Biden’s Selective Service records at the request of The Associated Press. Less detailed records were available from a National Archives facility in Philadelphia. According to the documents, Biden, 65, received several deferments while he was an undergraduate at the University of Delaware and later as a law student at Syracuse University. A month after a physical exam in April 1968, Biden received a Selective Service classification of 1-Y, meaning he was available for service only in the event of national emergency. “As a result of a physical exam on April 5, 1968, Joe Biden was classified 1-Y and disqualified from service because of asthma as a teenager,” said David Wade, a campaign spokesman. In “Promises to Keep,” a memoir that was published last year, Biden never mentions his asthma, recounting an active childhood, work as a lifeguard and football exploits in high school. The Obama campaign pointed to media interviews from 1987, when Biden was making his first bid for the presidency, that mention his asthma. Military service and questions about which presidential ticket would be stronger on national security are intertwined in the presidential race. Republican John McCain, a former Navy pilot who spent 5 1/2 years in a Vietnamese prison, has argued that he has stronger background to be commander in chief. Democratic nominee Obama counters that McCain would continue a wrongheaded foreign policy from the Bush administration. Biden’s five student deferments equal the number given to Cheney, who has been quoted as saying he had “other priorities” than military service in the 1960s.)

Nearly 45% of older workers who’ve experienced discrimination said they were treated unfairly because of their age. . . The older the respondents, the more likely they were to believe they had been treated unfairly because of their age. The survey found that 50% of adults ages 65 and older who said they had faced discrimination said their age was the source of that discrimination compared to 43% of respondents ages 55 to 64 and about 39% of respondents ages 45 to 54. And men were more likely than women to believe that they had been treated unfairly because of their age.

JB Pritzker, First Lady For Property Tax Appeals On Gold Coast Mansion – Dave McKinney, Tony Arnold (DIERSEN: To avoid prosecution, will Pritzker offer a) to house scores if not hundreds of illegals in the “126-year-old mansion they purchased next to their Gold Coast home” and b) to have them push pot in the neighborhood?)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Democratic Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker, his wife and his brother-in-law are under federal criminal investigation for a dubious residential property tax appeal that dogged him during his gubernatorial campaign last year, WBEZ has learned. A law-enforcement source familiar with the investigation confirmed to WBEZ that the probe, which has not been revealed publicly until now, began last October and remains active. There are no signs that criminal charges are imminent. WBEZ has also confirmed that Illinois First Lady MK Pritzker’s personal assistant who was involved in the property tax appeal, Christine Lovely, is being represented by one of Chicago’s most high-powered lawyers. Her attorney, Reid Schar, is a former federal prosecutor who helped convict ex-Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich on corruption charges. The developments demonstrate that the billionaire governor and his wife may face a serious legal threat arising from their controversial pursuit of a property tax break on a 126-year-old mansion they purchased next to their Gold Coast home.)

— At Yale, ‘Diversity’ Means More of the Same A 2018 dispute between two students prompts yet another expansion of the massive bureaucracy. – Heather Mac Donald (DIERSEN: Despite the fact that not one minority or women had ever filed a discrimination complaint against GAO’s Chicago office, the Democrats who ran that office while I worked there 1980-1997 hinted/implied/argued/shouted that each and every one of their employees who were Republican, White, male, and/or non-veteran who had not made 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 HAD DISCRIMINATED AGAINST MINORITIES AND AGAINST FEMALES.) 
https://www.wsj.com/articles/at-yale-diversity-means-more-of-the-same-11556058975
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Yale President Peter Salovey announced a major expansion of the school’s diversity bureaucracy this month, providing a case study in how not to lead a respected institution of higher education. The pretext for this latest accretion of bureaucratic bloat was a May 2018 incident in a graduate student dorm. Sarah Braasch, a 43-year-old doctoral candidate in philosophy, called campus police at 1:40 a.m. to report someone sleeping in a common room, which she believed was against dorm rules. Yale administrators knew Ms. Braasch had psychological problems and that she had a history of bad blood with the sleeping student, Lolade Siyonbola, a 35-year-old doctoral candidate in African studies. But because Ms. Braasch is white and Ms. Siyonbola is black, the administration chose to turn the incident into a symbol of what Mr. Salovey called the university’s “discrimination and racism.” Yale leaders immediately announced a slew of new initiatives: “implicit bias” training for graduate students, grad-school staff and campus police; instruction in how to run “inclusive classrooms”; “community building” sessions; a student retreat to develop the next phase of equity and inclusion programming. Despite this flurry of corrective measures, Kimberly M. Goff-Crews, Yale’s secretary and vice president for student life, ominously declared there was still “much more to do.”)

— Texas bill would allow state to sue social media companies like Facebook and Twitter over free speech – ELIZABETH BYRNE (DIERSEN: I should sue television stations, sue newspapers, sue websites, sue etc. that “advertise as unbiased,” but discriminate against individuals, organizations, companies, governments, and countries that are Trump supporters, Protestant, conservative, patriotic, Republican, American, White, male, older, rich, gun owners, German American, draft avoiders, and/or those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time. Further, I should sue leaders of conservative and/or Republican organizations who discriminate against members who are Trump supporters, Protestant, conservative, patriotic, Republican, American, White, male, older, rich, gun owners, German American, draft avoiders, and/or those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: A bill before the Texas Senate seeks to prevent social media platforms like Facebook and Twitter from censoring users based on their viewpoints. Supporters say it would protect the free exchange of ideas but critics say the bill contradicts a federal law that allows social media platforms to regulate their own content. The measure — Senate Bill 2373 by state Sen. Bryan Hughes R-Mineola — would hold social media platforms accountable for restricting users’ speech based on personal opinions. Hughes said the bill applies to social media platforms that advertise as unbiased but still censor users. The bill was unanimously approved by the Senate State Affairs Committee last week. “Senate Bill 2373 tries to prevent those companies that control these new public spaces, this new public square, from picking winners and losers based on content,” Hughes said in the committee hearing. “Basically if the company represents, ‘we’re an open forum and we don’t discriminate based on content,’ then they shouldn’t be able to discriminate based on content.”)

WIKI HOW
— How to Choose Your Political Party in the United States – Bridget Connolly (DIERSEN: From what I see, ever-increasingly, in Illinois, in DuPage County, and in Milton Township, conservatives are discouraged from a) joining Republican organizations, b) staying a member of Republican organizations, and c) seeking leadership positions in Republican organizations because they see how Republican organizations in Illinois, in DuPage County, and in Milton Township treat conservatives. They see how the Illinois Republican Party (IRP), DuPage County Republican Central Committee (DCRCC), Milton Township Republican Central Committee (MTRCC), TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois, and Illinois Center Right Coalition (ICRC) have treated me and treated my GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails. They see how MTRCC rudely fired me as its webmaster in 2010 and 2004. They see how MTRCC viciously crushed me when I ran for MTRCC Treasurer in 2004. They see how ICRC viciously crushed me when I ran for reelection to its Steering Committee in 2007. They see how ICRC almost succeeded in censoring me in 2006. Ever-increasingly, IRP, DCRCC, MTRCC act like they want to get rid of their members 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. From what I see, beyond tragically, conservatives, that is Republicans, are ever-increasingly shrinking minority in the IRP, DCRCC, and MTRCC.)

WASHINGTON POST
— Why don’t voters care if a presidential candidate is old? – Helaine Olen (DIERSEN: Who takes/took the lead in promoting age discrimination in the organizations that you are/were a member of? I should write a book about those in the following organizations who take/took the lead in promoting age discrimination: Milton Township Republican Central Committee, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, Illinois Republican Party, TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois, Wheaton Chamber of Commerce, Illinois Center Right Coalition, and American Association of Political Consultants Midwest Chapter.)
https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2019/04/23/why-dont-voters-care-if-presidential-candidate-is-old/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Age discrimination is a major issue in American society. According to some reports, a majority of people older than 50 will be involuntarily separated from their jobs at least once. But when it comes to our presidential politics, it’s another matter entirely. President Trump is turning 73 this spring. On the other side of the aisle, the two leading contenders to challenge Trump are Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), 77, and former vice president Joe Biden, 76. The two share little in common politically, yet, amazingly, Biden is the top No. 2 choice of Sanders supporters, and those backing Biden return the favor. When the issues of infirmities of age are even hinted at, voters across the board seemingly dismiss them. In a recent focus group session of swing voters put together by pollster Engagious, not a single participant said they would vote against a candidate because the candidate was too elderly. Other candidates such as South Bend, Ind., Mayor Pete Buttigieg might claim that it’s time for a “generational change” in our politics, but it appears few are heeding the message. How could this be? How can a society that worships youth on the job and in the culture turn into what Malcolm Harris, author of “Kids These Days,” calls a political gerontocracy? Well, you can thank a confluence of factors, ranging from the decades-long impact of the inordinately large baby-boomer generation, combined with how the particular personalities of a number of older candidates reflect what kind of older candidates we like — and which ones we don’t.)
