December 28 Morning Edition

WHITE HOUSE
— Statement from the President – BUDGET & SPENDING
https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefings-statements/statement-from-the-president-122720/
(FROM THE STATEMENT: As President of the United States it is my responsibility to protect the people of our country from the economic devastation and hardship that was caused by the China Virus. I understand that many small businesses have been forced to close as a result of harsh actions by Democrat-run states. Many people are back to work, but my job is not done until everyone is back to work. Fortunately, as a result of my work with Congress in passing the CARES Act earlier this year, we avoided another Great Depression. Under my leadership, Project Warp Speed has been a tremendous success, my Administration and I developed a vaccine many years ahead of wildest expectations, and we are distributing these vaccines, and others soon coming, to millions of people. As President, I have told Congress that I want far less wasteful spending and more money going to the American people in the form of $2,000 checks per adult and $600 per child. As President I am demanding many rescissions under the Impoundment Control Act of 1974. The Act provides that, “whenever the President determines that all or part of any budget authority will not be required to carry out the full objectives or scope of programs for which it is provided, or that such budget authority should be rescinded for fiscal policy or other reasons (including termination of authorized projects or activities for which budget authority has been provided), the President shall transmit to both Houses of Congress a special message” describing the amount to be reserved, the relevant accounts, the reasons for the rescission, and the economic effects of the rescission. 2 U.S.C. § 683. I will sign the Omnibus and Covid package with a strong message that makes clear to Congress that wasteful items need to be removed. I will send back to Congress a redlined version, item by item, accompanied by the formal rescission request to Congress insisting that those funds be removed from the bill. I am signing this bill to restore unemployment benefits, stop evictions, provide rental assistance, add money for PPP, return our airline workers back to work, add substantially more money for vaccine distribution, and much more. On Monday the House will vote to increase payments to individuals from $600 to $2,000. Therefore, a family of four would receive $5,200. Additionally, Congress has promised that Section 230, which so unfairly benefits Big Tech at the expense of the American people, will be reviewed and either be terminated or substantially reformed. Likewise, the House and Senate have agreed to focus strongly on the very substantial voter fraud which took place in the November 3 Presidential election. The Senate will start the process for a vote that increases checks to $2,000, repeals Section 230, and starts an investigation into voter fraud. Big Tech must not get protections of Section 230! Voter Fraud must be fixed! Much more money is coming. I will never give up my fight for the American people!)

— Oak Lawn Mayor Candidate’s Petitions Rejected.

I have gathered signatures on candidate nomination petitions from Republican voters in my precinct since 2000. I should write a book about that. It is getting increasingly difficult a) because Republican voters in my precinct are moving into assisted living facilities, moving into nursing homes, moving out of Illinois, or dying and b) because their homes are being bought my nasty, if not hate-filled Democrats. Further, since 2000, Democrat plants, Libertarian plants, Green plants, Independent plants, and RINOs in the Milton Township Republican Organization have done everything that they could to turn Republican voters in my precinct against me. I should write a book about them. Further, in 2015, they succeeded in gerrymandering my precinct. I lost about 100 homes west of the Illinois Prairie path and gained about 100 homes east of Warrenville Road. Far more of the homes that I lost were Republican than the homes that I gained.)

https://www.theepochtimes.com/high-school-student-sues-over-leftist-indoctrination-in-nevada_3634084.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A high school senior of mixed race is suing a taxpayer-funded charter school in Nevada over the “coercive, ideological indoctrination” that is central to its Critical Race Theory-based curriculum that forces students to associate aspects of their identity with oppression. In the lawsuit, Clark v. State Public Charter School Authority, filed Dec. 22 in federal court in Nevada, the young plaintiff William Clark and his mother Gabrielle Clark claim their First and Fourteenth Amendment rights were being violated. Students were allegedly told that by refusing to identify with an oppressive group, they were exercising their privilege or underscoring their role as an oppressor. The lawsuit was filed by the Illinois-based group Schoolhouse Rights, whose website describes its mission as supporting “civil rights litigation in defense of students’ freedom of conscience in public education and the rights of parents to guide and direct the upbringing of their children.” The student at Democracy Prep in Las Vegas whose mother is black and deceased father was white, claims there was a hostile classroom environment, and that he felt discriminated against in the mandatory, year-long “Sociology of Change” course required for graduation. There is another required class, “Change the World,” in which students carry out a political or social work project.)

— New York State Democratic boss warns AOC not to challenge Chuck Schumer – Jon Levine (DIERSEN: What if Illinois Republican Party Chairman Tim Schneider warned Kinzinger to stop demonizing, denigrating, and condemning Trump?)
https://nypost.com/2020/12/26/ny-democratic-boss-warns-aoc-not-to-challenge-chuck-schumer/
— Beware Section 230 Repeal (DIERSEN: I should write a book about those who have focused on destroying me for my including links in GOPUSA emails to articles they do not like. I would focus on a) those who have lots of religious, government, political, and/or financial clout in Wheaton’s West District, Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County’s 4th District, DuPage County, and/or Illinois, b) those who have been Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct, their political consultants, their major donors, their campaign managers, their campaign staff members, and/or their campaign volunteers, c) those who are/were leaders of the Milton Township Republican Organization, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, Illinois Republican Party, Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, and/or Illinois, and d) those who are/were leaders of TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois, Wheaton Chamber of Commerce, Illinois Center Right Coalition, and/or American Association of Political Consultants Midwest Chapter.)
https://nypost.com/2020/12/27/beware-section-230-repeal-and-other-commentary/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Those on the left and right calling for a complete repeal of Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act need to realize it would “return us to the legal no-man’s land” that prohibits even “good Samaritan” censorship, explain Sen. Ron Wyden and ex-Rep. Chris Cox in USA Today. Without the law, every one of the 200 million-plus Web sites available to Americans “will have to either stop publishing their users’ contributions, or let ‘anything go’ — no matter how gross or illegal.” Any “curating” will leave platforms liable for everything posted, so “hosting user-created content will be too costly and risky,” and “the many online avenues that ordinary citizens currently use to express themselves would be closed.” So while “Congress should examine whether it’s possible to amend Section 230 without doing more harm than good,” it must also remember that “sometimes those complaining about online speech are doing worse than crying wolf.”)
— The Left’s Drive To ‘Bias’ AI
https://nypost.com/2020/12/27/beware-section-230-repeal-and-other-commentary/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Having algorithms “incapable of bias” make decisions rather than humans should be cause to celebrate, reasons computer-science prof Pedro Domingos at Spectator USA. But “militant” liberals are scrambling to retake control. “A whole subfield of AI has sprung up” for the express purpose of “de-biasing” algorithms, and anyone who questions it, as Domingos has, is subject to the cancel culture, as he was. Yet algorithms “can’t be racist or sexist.” What “cleaning” them up really means is “inserting into them biases favoring specific groups” and establishing the “social controls” the political left wants.)

https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/science-choice/201701/making-life-changing-decisions

— To get student draft deferments 1966-1970 and a financial hardship draft deferment 1970-1971. My outstanding father died suddenly in 1969 when he was 47 and I was 21. My outstanding mother had never attended high school and had never worked outside of the home. My brother was attending high school.

— To always have a job. 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. I passed the Post Office employment examination in 1966. I passed the Federal Service Entrance Examination in 1970. I took a $20,157 (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980. My Democrat GAO superiors succeeded in forcing me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years old. The adverse actions that they had taken against me stopped me from finding a job appropriate for someone with my education, work experience, professional certifications, and professional license.

— To be a union member while I worked for the Post Office 1966-1969 and for IRS 1971-1980.

— To accept a job offer from Oldsmobile. In 1971, Oldsmobile withdrew a job offer that I had accepted saying that Oldsmobile had just agreed to stop hiring Whites to settle an EEOC complaint. That directly resulted in a) Firestone Stores firing me and b) my accepting a job offer from IRS.

— To claim sick leave in 1968 and 1969 while I worked for the Post Office and to file grievances when those claims were denied, to claim partial-day per-diem while I worked for IRS 1973-1974 and to file a grievance when that claim was denied, and to deduct my educational expenses 1972-1981 and 1992-1997 and to go to Small Claims Tax Court when my 1974-1977 deductions were denied.

— To get a job-related bachelor’s degree. I took college preparatory courses at Crete-Monee High School, got into the upper 20% of my 1966 graduating class, got a score of 24 on the ACT, earned/saved enough money washing dishes for the minimum wage to buy a new car in 1966 to commute to/from classes at UIC from my parents’ home in Crete.

— To qualify myself for better paying jobs. I earned a) a job-related bachelor’s degree in management from NIU when I was 21 in 1970 and job-related master’s degrees in business, accounting, and finance from Loyola, DePaul, and IIT when I was 27, 31, and 48, b) job-related professional certifications when I was 30 (CPA) , 32 (Certified Internal Auditor), 41 (Certified Fraud Examiner), 45 (certified Government Financial Manager), 47 (Certified Financial Services Auditor), and 48 (Forensic Accountant), and c) a job-related professional license (CPA) when I was 32. I passed the CPA and Certified Internal Auditor examinations on my first attempt. I grandfathered into the other certifications.

— To not pay rent. I bought a new town home in University Park in 1972, a studio condo in downtown Chicago in 1974, and a one bedroom condo in downtown Chicago in 1976. My wife and I bought a home in Wheaton in 1978 and we had one built in Wheaton in 1984. I walked to work at IRS and to graduate business and accounting courses 1974-1978. I recently bought a 20-foot by 40-foot unit at Iron Gate Motor Condos in Naperville.

— To be the subject of a Money Magazine One Person’s Finances article in 1978. Money Magazine a) foisted negative government employee stereo types on me and painted my education deductions as being improper.

— To get married. I got married in 1978. My wife and I gave up trying to have children, we did not adopt, and we did not become foster parents.

— To save for retirement.

— To buy cars. I bought a 1958 Chevy BelAir in 1964, 1966 Pontiac Tempest Sprint in 1966, 1968 Oldsmobile 442 in 1967, 1969 Dodge Charger SE in 1968, 1972 Chevy Corvette in 1971, 1962 Chevy BelAir in 1971, 1974 Dodge Dart in 1973, 1978 Chevy Chevette in 1978, 1978 Oldsmobile Delta 88 Royale in 1978, 1962 Chevy Impala SS in 1989, 1990 Ford Thunderbird LX in 1989, 1993 Ford Thunderbird in 1993, 1968 Dodge Charger R/T 1n 1994, 1996 Ford Thunderbird LX in 1995, 1997 Chevy Cavalier in 1996, 2005 Chevy Corvette in 2005, 2003 Chevy Cavalier LS in 2010, 2013 Dodge Charger R/T Max in 2012, 2016 Ford Mustang in 2016, and 2019 Ford Escape Titanium in 2019. I continue to own the 1972 Corvette, 1996 Thunderbird, 2003 Cavalier, 2005 Corvette, 2013 Charger, Mustang, and Escape.

— To be a gun owner and to not hide that fact.

— To be conservative and to not hide that fact. I have never used pot and I never will. I have never been and never will be a smoker, drinker, or gambler.

— The courage of standing up for our Police. A student athlete at the University of Illinois stood tall and proud recently while all of her teammates and coaches took a knee during the singing of the National Anthem. That student, who I know but won’t identify, has true courage and is the symbol of what true justice is in the fight against racism and bigotry. Fighting crime is fighting racism. – Ray Hanania
https://suburbanchicagoland.com/2020/12/25/the-courage-of-standing-up-for-our-police/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A friend recently sent me a photo of a young female athlete at a basketball game at the University of Illinois standing up during the playing of the National Anthem while all of her teammates were on one knee. Although bending one knee is being defended as a symbol of protesting against “police violence,” it really has become more than that symbolizing extremist agendas including “defunding” the police. In the photo, this one junior is standing with her hand on her heart while her teammates and coaches all take one knee before the start of the game. I know who the girl is, but I won’t identify her because she could easily become the target of a growing movement of fanaticism that opposes the Police.)

— Trump slams Twitter for ‘stifling free speech,’ reiterates call to end Section 230. Sen. Graham tweets Trump will sign COVID-19 bill if Congress gets rid of Section 230. – Lucas Manfredi (DIERSEN: My critics/opponents want to abolish Section 230 so that they can sue me for including links in GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails to articles that they do not like. Of course, my critics/opponents have always been able to sue the authors of those articles, but they never have. Because Section 230 stops them from suing me, they take adverse actions against me.

— Congress May Tear Apart A Law That Launched The Internet – BRIAN DEAGON (DIERSEN: My critics/opponents want to abolish Section 230 so that they can sue me for including links in GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails to articles that they do not like. Of course, my critics/opponents have always been able to sue the authors of those articles, but they never have. Because Section 230 stops them from suing me, they take adverse actions against me.

https://www.investors.com/news/technology/section-230-law-launched-internet-in-danger-fb-googl-twtr/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A law considered by some to be “the 26 words that created the internet,” Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, now sits in the crosshairs of a Congress that is upset over its broad protections for web behemoths. Its fate could have a massive impact on the internet’s future and tech stocks in particular. The law guards web publishers from liability over third-party content. But both Republicans and Democrats seek sweeping changes to Section 230 in hopes they can rein in web giants like Amazon (AMZN), Facebook (FB), Twitter (TWTR), Microsoft (MSFT) and Alphabet (GOOGL)-owned Google. As Facebook and others increasingly take down content they deem inaccurate or objectionable, lawmakers also wonder whether the protections afforded by Section 230 are too broad for tech stocks. They want to hold social media and other web companies more responsible in managing their content.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: The statutory Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) requirements do not appear to address a private employer’s ability to mandate the vaccine, and EEOC has not stated that the FDA’s statements on this topic impact an employer’s right under the ADA to mandate the vaccine; but EEOC’s inclusion of this topic in the New Guidance at least raises the question as to how EEOC, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), or the courts might respond to an employer that takes adverse action against an employee who objects to taking a vaccine because it is authorized only under an EUA.)

From what I see, about 4 out of 5 homebuyers in my neighborhood, in my precinct, in Wheaton’s West District, in Wheaton, in Milton Township, in DuPage County’s 4th District, and in DuPage County are Democrats. Ever-increasingly, it seems like realtors are steering Democrats into my neighborhood, into my precinct, into Wheaton’s West District, into Wheaton, into Milton Township, into DuPage County’s 4th District, and into DuPage County. Ever-increasingly, Democrats make it clear that they hate Republicans.)

They were furious a) when I got a Post Office job in 1966, Firestone Stores job in 1970, Oldsmobile job offer and IRS job in 1971, and GAO job in 1980; b) when IRS promoted me in 1972, 1973, and 1974 and when GAO promoted me in 1986; c) when I bought new cars in 1966, 1967, 1968, 1971, etc., and collector cars in 1989 and 1994; d) when I bought real estate in 1972, 1974, 1976, 1978, and 1984; e) when I got married in 1978; f) when I earned a bachelor’s degree from NIU in 1970, MBA from Loyola in 1976, master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980, and master’s degree in financial markets and trading from IIT in 1997; g) when I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979 and passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981; and h) when I became a licensed CPA in 1981.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Assembly Bill 2088 proposes calculating the wealth tax based on current world-wide net worth each Dec. 31. For part-year and temporary residents, the tax would be proportionate based on their number of days in California. The annual tax would be on current net worth and therefore would include wealth earned, inherited or obtained through gifts or estates long before and long after leaving the state.)
— Ivy League Colleges Report Dramatic Growth In Early-Admission Applicant Pools – Melissa Korn (DIERSEN: Government is nasty. Politics is nasty. According to my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes, degrees from non-Ivy League colleges are worthless.

— FRONT PAGE WITH COLOR PICTURE: A Church Navigates America’s Divisions – Janet Adamy (DIERSEN: Government is nasty. Politics is nasty. Ever-increasingly, churches talk and act like they are arms of the Democrat, Libertarian, and/or Green parties. My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes shout at people who paint themselves as being religious that I am not a member of a church, that I do not attend church services, and that I do not give money to a church. I should write a book about people who paint themselves as being religious and who treat me like I am a White supremacist, Nazi, KKK member, hater, racist, sexist, bigot, and even worse things who should be gotten rid of once and for all. I would focus on those who have lots of religious, government, political, and/or financial clout in Wheaton’s West District, Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County’s 4th district, DuPage County, and Illinois.)

— Shifting demographics hurt local GOP registration – John Orona (DIERSEN: Government is nasty. Politics is nasty. What makes it hard for you to be optimistic about the future? For me, it is the ever-increasing invasion of hypocritical hate-filled Republican-hating Republican-haters who hypocritically move in to DuPage County, Milton Township, and Wheaton to hypocritically take advantage of the prosperity and safety that Republicans created there. I should write a book about such hypocritical hate-filled Republican-hating hypocritical home buyers in DuPage County, Milton Township, and Wheaton.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: “The biggest demographic factor is that people from the Bay Area and other coastal counties are purchasing primary or secondary homes in Nevada County, and they take their political identity with them when they vote here,” Hren said in an email. According to Department of Finance data, between 2014 and 2018 more Nevada County residents moved to Sacramento and El Dorado counties, while the most transplants to Nevada County came from Placer and Alameda counties. “These people realize that their vote in the Bay Area will not make a difference, as most local Democrats there win their races,” Hren said. “Here it’s a different story.”)

— Boater admits he knew body was in a barrel before ocean dump – Neal Putnam (DIERSEN: Government is nasty. Politics is nasty. Who has dumped you? I should write a book about those who have dumped me.

— Get Sensitive or Else: How to Keep Talent When the World’s Gone Crazy (DIERSEN: Government is nasty. Politics is nasty. To keep their employees who were Democrat, minority, female, and/or younger, my Democrat superiors in the federal government wasted the careers of and got rid of their employees who were Republican, White, male, and/or non-veteran who they had not promoted to GS-13 (currently $101,176) by age 25, GS-14 (currently $119,559) by age 30, GS-15 (currently $140,634) by age 35, and Senior Executive Service (currently $170,800) by age 40.
