WSIL TV
— Illinois Lawmakers consider ending marijuana prohibition – Courtney Cruse  (DIERSEN: Which individuals, organizations, companies, and governments in Illinois are leading the opposition against SB 316 and HB 2353?  Please ask them to phone me at 630-653-0462.  I am considering asking the Milton Township Republican Central Committee (MTRCC) to pass a resolution against the legalization of marijuana for recreational use similar to MTRCC’s 2009 resolution against video gambling.  I would ask all of the Republicans who represent all or part of Milton Township to endorse the resolution including U.S. Representative Roskam; Governor Rauner; Lt. Governor Sanguinetti; Illinois Senators Connelly and Nybo; Illinois Representatives Breen and Ives; DuPage County officials Berlin, Bucholz, Cantore, Cronin, DiCianni, Eckhoff, Elliott, Grant, Grogan, Henry, Hinds, Jorgensen, Kachiroubas, Larsen, Murphy, Noonan, Redick, Ruscitti, Whelan, Wiley, Zaruba, and Zay; Milton Township officials Falbo, Heidorn, Hinkle, Keller, LeVan, Molitor, Muehlfelt, and Nathwani; and all the MTRCC members.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE:  Illinois lawmakers are considering a plan to regulate and tax legal marijuana use for adults. Legislation introduced in the House and Senate Wednesday would allow adults 21 and older to purchase marijuana legally from a business licensed by the state. The Senate bill, SB 316, is sponsored by Senate Appropriations Committee Chairwoman Heather Steans (D-Chicago), while the House version, HB 2353, was presented by Rep. Kelly Cassidy (D-Chicago). “Marijuana prohibition is a quagmire that creates far more problems than it prevents,” Cassidy said. “Several states have adopted sensible alternatives to prohibition, and it is time for Illinois to develop its own exit strategy.” Each bill would make it legal to possess, grow, and purchase limited amounts of marijuana. The state would license and regulate businesses to cultivate, process, test, and sell marijuana to adults, and it would create and enforce strict health and safety regulations, such as testing and labeling requirements and restrictions on marketing. “Right now, all the money being spent on marijuana is going into the pockets of criminals and cartels,” Steans said. “In a regulated system, the money would go into the cash registers of licensed, taxpaying businesses. It would generate hundreds of millions of dollars per year in new revenue for our state.”  The bills propose taxing marijuana at a rate of $50 per ounce at the wholesale level, and retail sales would be subject to the state’s standard 6.25% sales tax. Based on current usage rates and the market price of marijuana being sold for adults’ use in Colorado, the Marijuana Policy Project estimates regulated marijuana sales could generate between $349 million and $699 million per year in new revenue for Illinois.)

http://www.dailyherald.com/article/20170322/news/170329542/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Forest preserve commissioners are paid $50,000 a year; the president is paid $75,000. The elected officials also are eligible to receive medical and dental insurance through the district. Commissioner Tim Whelan is questioning whether it’s a good idea to end the practice of offering pensions. He said the pension is an incentive for commissioners “to put in the time to benefit the taxpayers.” Whelan is one of five commissioners enrolled in IMRF. The others are Redick, Marsha Murphy, Linda Painter and Al Murphy. Redick, Painter and Marsha Murphy already are eligible for an IMRF pension — and will receive it regardless of whether the district does away with the perk. Whelan and Al Murphy are not yet vested.)

http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/opinion/commentary/ct-democrats-immigration-trump-muslim-ban-20170320-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: If Democrats want to win again, they must do one of two things: Attract back the Obama-Trump voter or win over the Romney-non-Trump voter. Their protestations against border security and the travel ban are not likely to do either. Surveys show that Obama-Trump blue-collar voters like Trump’s anti-immigration stance. These voters are likely to have felt competition from immigrants legal and illegal, and they want that competition to stop. Even though many of these voters agree with Democrats on traditional economic issues like taxes and entitlement spending, their primary concern now is to protect their livelihoods and standard of living by reducing competition from foreigners living at home and abroad. . .Democrats are either unwilling to see the truth or unable to acknowledge it: They cannot win back the presidency without attracting people who disagree with some of their views. Doing that does not mean singing the same old songs louder and more clearly.)

http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2017/mar/20/cinco-de-mayo-canceled-mexicans-fear-trump-deporta/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A Cinco de Mayo celebration called El Carnaval de Puebla, held each year in Philadelphia, has just been suddenly canceled — and in short order, it’s due to President Donald Trump. Why? The normal and usual Mexican holiday participants are worried they might get deported. This is a good thing. For years, under Barack Obama, the law-abiding of the nation have watched with a wintry mix of outrage and disbelief as the nation’s illegals stood at podiums — public podiums, immigration officials be hanged — to shed tears for their entitlement rights, and demand the mean ol’ Republicans who want to deport them get in the amnesty line. Jose Antonio Vargas was probably the worse-case scenario of a face-slapping to America’s border control laws. Remember Vargas? He was the guy who penned a long-winded heart-puller in New York Times Magazine entitled, “My Life as an Undocumented Immigrant.” Was he arrested? No. Shortly after writing another piece about the plight of the illegals — to include his personal struggles in a country like America with borders — Team Obama announced the halting of deportation of those age 30 and under who met certain DREAM Act circumstances. Vargas was also the guy who called his illegal self an American — that he just didn’t “have the right papers.” Right. But he was hardly the only illegal in America, under the Obama administration, to boldly go forth as an illegal — to demand equal rights to citizens. Thousands of others took part in public events, outright outing their illegal statuses, outright casting deportation concerns to the wind. And why wouldn’t they? Obama had an open door policy at the border — an open door policy that led him, in the days before the last presidential election, to pretty much encourage those without voting rights to, well, get to the ballot boxes and vote, anyway. His message: Because who’s going to deport them?  When asked in late 2016 by a member of the media if undocumented citizens, dreamers — “I call them citizens” — got in the election game and voted, would immigration officials then know their location and deport them, Obama’s response: “Not true. And the reason is first of all when you vote you are a citizen yourself. And there is not a situation where the voting rolls somehow are transferred over and people start investigating.” Go on, Obama egged. Vote. Nobody’s checking — not in my administration, anyway. Well, new administration. And now illegals across the nation seem to be getting the message that the new sheriff in the White House isn’t so blind to the borders. Typically, up to 15,000 gather in South Philadelphia each year for the Cinco de Mayo celebration. But this year? Different story, it seems. In recent times, Trump’s border control officials have arrested or detained hundreds of illegals. Why just within the last few days, 248 were detained in Pennsylvania, Delaware and West Virginia during a mass federal raid that lasted about two weeks. As such, illegals everywhere are starting to think: Hey, maybe we ought not strut about as if we’re citizens any longer. Good idea. “The group of six organizers decided to cancel unanimously,” said Edgar Ramirez, one of the Cinco de Mayo organizers, to a local NBC affiliate about the fate of the event. “Everyone is offended by the actions of ICE. They did not feel comfortable holding the event.” Ramirez’s comments were meant to be critical — were meant to demonstrate just how Trump’s crackdowns were causing undue chaos in the illegal community. But sorry, no sympathy here. For the law-abiding in America, Ramirez’s announcement is just yet another feel-good moment for the election of Trump — another chance to breathe a collective sigh of relief that the adults are back in charge and order, justice and law once again count.)

https://www.nytimes.com/2017/03/20/opinion/no-crackdown-on-illegal-employers.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: President Trump began his campaign assailing immigrants as ruthless lawbreakers who steal American jobs with impunity. To halt them, he has vowed to build a wall along the border with Mexico, hire thousands of new immigration agents, ramp up immigrant detention and subject visa applicants to even more rigorous vetting. His administration has been largely silent, however, about the strongest magnet that has drawn millions of immigrants, legal and not, to the United States for generations: jobs. American employers continue to assume relatively little risk by hiring undocumented immigrants to perform menial, backbreaking work, often for little pay. Meanwhile, as Mr. Trump’s deportation crackdown accelerates, families are being ripped apart, and communities of hard-working immigrants with deep roots in this country are gripped by fear and uncertainty. As long as employers remain off the hook, a border wall and an expanded dragnet can only make temporary dents in the flows of undocumented immigrants.)

— Illinois Lottery Launches Instant Ticket To Help Find Multiple Sclerosis Cure – Mike Krauser
http://chicago.cbslocal.com/2017/03/16/illinois-lottery-launches-instant-ticket-to-help-find-multiple-sclerosis-cure/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The Illinois Lottery has announced the latest version of a scratch-off game to benefit researchers seeking a cure for Multiple Sclerosis. “Go out and buy a ticket and let’s cure MS,” said the state’s Public Health Director, Dr. Nirav Shah at the kickoff event for the “MS Project” instant game at UIC. WBBM’s Mike Krauser reports. “In recent years, there are promising new hopes on the horizon,Dr. Shah said. “The tide is very clearly turning with respect to MS therapies and that makes the research that this ticket supports all the more important right now.” Lieutenant Governor Evelyn Sanguinetti, who has lived with MS for 10 years, said she was diagnosed after a fall on ice and calls herself an MS warrior. “My husband told me that I better get busy living or get busy dying,” Sanguinetti said. “I chose to live and I chose to fight.” She urged people to support the cause and said she firmly believes there will be a cure in her lifetime. Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a disabling neurological disease that disrupts the flow of information between the brain and the body. More than 20,000 people are living with MS in Illinois, according to the Illinois Lottery MS Project website. People with MS fight symptoms like fatigue, walking difficulties, blurred vision, dizziness and vertigo, numbness, weakness and many more. Women are two to three times more likely to be diagnosed with MS than men are. Illinois Lottery Director Greg Smith said 100 percent of the proceeds from the instant scratch ticket funds research. The Illinois Lottery has raised more than $8 million for MS research so far with the instant ticket. Doctor Douglas Feinstein has been working on MS research at the University of Illinois at Chicago for 20 years. “It’s getting more and more difficult to obtain research funding and this is another opportunity,” Dr. Feinstein said. (chart) He too said there are promising therapies that are being worked on at UIC and elsewhere. The ticket can be purchased for $3 where Illinois Lottery instant scratch-off tickets are sold. Ticket buyers could win up to $50,000. The Illinois Lottery also helps other causes with instant tickets, such as breast cancer with the ‘Ticket for the Cure,’ Special Olympics with the ‘Special Olympics Ticket,’ and HIV/AIDS prevention with the ‘Red Ribbon Cash’ ticket.)

Madigan’s even more unpopular. – WHET MOSER  (DIERSEN: What are your approval numbers in your precinct, in your municipality, in your township/ward, in your county, and in Illinois?  From what I see, those who have the most religious, government, political, and/or financial clout in your precinct, in your municipality, in your township/ward, in your county, and in Illinois can have a tremendous impact on your approval numbers.  Most people, if not virtually all people, base their opinions of people on what those who have the most clout say about them and treat them, especially what the say about them and how they treat them in public. For example, if the mayor of a municipality treats someone rudely during his state of the city address, many people, if not virtually all people in that municipality will then treat that person rudely. For example, if a township trustee treats someone rudely during his speech at a political meeting, many members, if not virtually all the members of that political organization will then treat that member rudely. For example, if a member of the Illinois Center Right Coalition Steering Committee treats someone rudely during that organization’s annual conventions, many members, if not virtually all the members of that organization will then treat that member rudely.  Who treats you rudely?  I should write a book about those in Wheaton, in Glen Ellyn, in Milton Township, in DuPage County, and in Illinois who have treated me rudely since 2000. They would love it. They know that my policy has been to forgive those who trespass against me.  They have taken advantage of that policy and they are gambling that I will not abandon that policy.)

— Business of News: Fake News is a Golden Opportunity For Journalists – Tim Gallagher  (DIERSEN: Since 2000, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have always demonized, denigrated, and condemned my qualifications to serve as your GOPUSA Illinois Editor. They belittle and badmouth the experience that I gained working as an analyst for GAO 1980-1997, the last 11 years of which at the GS-13 Step 1-10 levels, currently $94,610-$122,991.  Much of GAO analysts do is very similar to what journalists do.)
http://www.editorandpublisher.com/columns/business-of-news-fake-news-is-a-golden-opportunity-for-journalists/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Fake news is the best thing that has ever happened to real journalism. I mean the kind of journalism that requires serious work. If you’ve ever spoken to a high school class or a civic group, then you know that the average citizen knows as much about gathering and reporting news as they know about brain surgery. The public does not understand how reporters and editors sift through potential stories, make decisions about what to cover (with disinterest for the partisan viewpoints), and then begin the process of accumulating information, discarding some of it, challenging “proof” that sources offer, and finally choosing the words that will tell the story. The public knows nothing of the editing process—how a good editor can approach a news article submitted by a reporter with skepticism. How—finally—a copy editor reads the article one more time and summarizes the 800 words into six-to-10 words that fit in the headline space.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Father Michael Pfleger on Tuesday used a provocative reference to the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks to exhort Chicago businesses to open their doors to 58,000 disconnected young people who are neither working nor in school. “Nineteen people on 9/11 terrorized this nation. Nineteen people shut this nation down. Imagine what we in this room could do if we were as committed as they were,” Pfleger told an audience of movers-and-shakers including Mayor Rahm Emanuel during the Opportunity Youth Summit at the Chicago Cultural Center hosted by Thrive Chicago. “We have learned how to save the whales. We’ve learned how to save the dolphins. We’ve learned how to save the exotic birds. Well damn it, it’s time to learn how to save our children.”)

They certainly do not want to hire me because of the aforesaid and because I oppose race based preference giving, gender based preference giving, age discrimination, and retaliation for complaining about the aforesaid.)
http://www.theblaze.com/news/2017/03/14/youre-a-bigot-ex-nc-governor-says-bathroom-law-backlash-has-made-it-hard-to-find-a-job/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Former North Carolina Gov. Pat McCrory, a Republican, says the backlash over his state’s so-called “bathroom law” has made it tough for him to find work since he left public office. The controversial “bathroom law,” or House Bill 2, requires individuals to use the restroom that correlates with their biological sex as it is written on their birth certificate. Following the law’s passage, McCrory, who supported the bill, was attacked as anti-LGBT and several performers and sports teams cancelled their events in the state. In an interview  last week with WORLD, McCrory said HB2 “has impacted me to this day, even after I left office. People are reluctant to hire me, because, ‘Oh my gosh, he’s a bigot’ — which is the last thing I am.” He told the Christian outlet that liberal groups opposing HB2 have damaged his reputation. “If you disagree with the politically correct thought police on this new definition of gender, you’re a bigot, you’re the worst of evil,” McCrory said. “It’s almost as if I broke a law.”)

ILLINOIS REVIEW
— BILL THAT COULD AFFECT GUN OWNERS’ DUE PROCESS TO BE HEARD IN SPRINGFIELD  (DIERSEN: Do you own a firearm?  I have owned firearms ever since I was in high school in the 1960s.  Who has “it in for you” in your municipality, in your township/ward, in your county, and in Illinois?  How much religious, government, political, and/or financial clout do they have to disarm you, that is, to take your FOID card and your firearms away from you?)
http://illinoisreview.typepad.com/illinoisreview/2017/03/bill-that-could-affect-gun-owners-due-process-to-be-heard-in-springfield.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE:  “Imagine if a family member or a police officer had it in for you. In the blink of an eye, you could be stripped of your rights without any due process, simply because someone accused you of something with absolutely no evidence to validate the claim…” That’s a scenario a bill scheduled to be heard next week in Illinois’ Senate Judiciary Committee would set up, Sons of Liberty Media is reporting. “Illinois State Senator Julie Morrison (D-29) has proposed a bill that would allow the government to confiscate firearms from gun owners without any due process,” the website says.  The proposal is SB 1291. While the Illinois State Rifle Association doesn’t sound an alert about SB 1291 on their website, the National Rifle Association called on Illinois members to contact their state lawmakers about the bill before the hearing was postponed to heard March 14th.  “SB 1291 would allow an individual’s family members or law enforcement to petition the court for an ex parte restraining order if they consider the individual to be a danger to themselves or others simply because the individual owns, possesses or purchases a firearm,” the NRA’s website explains. “According to the summary of the bill, an ex parte order would be issued by a judge based solely on a brief, unsubstantiated affidavit made by a petitioner and absent any input made by the individual on which the order is targeted.” If enacted, the NRA says, this SB 1291 would require the surrender of FOID cards, concealed carry licenses as well as the seizure of all firearms by law enforcement. “This legislation is ripe for abuse by individuals that disagree with the Second Amendment, and the mere insinuation that gun ownership makes you a danger to yourself or others is offensive and insulting,” the NRA says.)
