— Let’s have a ‘cease-fire’ from news conference sniping – Editorial (DIERSEN: Government is nasty. Politics is nasty. Since 2005, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have demonized me, denigrated, me, and condemned me as being like Jeff Gannon. Since 2005, they have viciously used against me what happened with GOPUSA, Talon News, and White House Correspondent Jeff Gannon. SEE: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talon_News They paint me as being a clone of Jeff Gannon and even worse things. Ever since I became a GOPUSA reporter in 2000, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have hinted/implied/argued/shouted that I ask bad questions at press conferences and share privileged information with reporters that have caused Republican candidates to be defeated and even worse things. Of course, I should sue my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes. But if not that, I should write a book about activists, candidates, elected officials, and party leaders in Illinois who claim to be religious, conservative, and/or Republican, but a) who do NOT want me to know about their press conferences, b) who do NOT want me to attend their press conferences, c) who do NOT want me to ask questions during their press conferences, d) who do NOT want me to speak with other reporters, e) who have barred me from attending their press conferences, f) who have had me thrown out of their press conferences, and/or g) who do not want me to report on their press conferences.)

QUINCY HERALD WHIG
— Adams County parties adjust caucuses in response to pandemic (DIERSEN: If you are a Republican Precinct Committeeman, who do you want to serve as the officers of your township and/or county Republican party organizations? What do you want them to promise to do? What about pressure to promote Affirmative Action, Diversity, Inclusion, and Up-Or-Out? What about pressure to dump those who are Trump supporters, Protestant, conservative, patriotic, Republican, American, White, male, older, gun owners, German American, draft avoiders, and those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time?) 
https://www.whig.com/20200407/adams-county-parties-adjust-caucuses-in-response-to-pandemic
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Adams County political organizations are forming alternative plans to move forward with the county caucuses set for April 15 in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The Adams Committee Democratic Central Committee announced it will postpone its caucus because of Illinois stay-at-home order, which is in line with the Democratic National Convention delaying its convention to August. The Democratic Central Committee will elect a new chairman after Chairman Keith Niewohner announced last year that he wished to retire as chairman but will remain a committeeman. Niewohner said it’s important that the committees are able to meet in-person to elect a new chairman, but that now is the time to focus “on the health, safety and well-being of ourselves, our families, the community and all of our momentum.” A date for a future caucus was not set. Dave Bockhold, chairman of the Adams County Republican Central Committee, said the party’s executive committee is seeking to host the caucus by mail. Letters have been sent to all precinct committeemen to get approval for the move.)

https://www.breitbart.com/tech/2020/04/06/appeals-court-tech-giants-must-face-censorship-lawsuit/

NATIONAL REVIEW
— Missing the Point of Plymouth Rock – David Randall (DIERSEN: From what I see, ever-increasingly, Democrats, Libertarians, Greens, and RINOs hint/imply/argue/shout that if you are a Republican, the longer that your ancestors have been in America, a) the more that you have benefitted from their discrimination against minorities and against females, b) the more that you should pay the price of Affirmative Action, Diversity, and Inclusion, and c) the more reparations that you should pay.) 
https://news.yahoo.com/missing-point-plymouth-rock-103005635.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Of course the Pilgrim landing at Plymouth Rock in 1620 explains American history. Of course the 1619 Project’s shoddy exercise in vituperation is meant to delegitimize America. John G. Turner’s recent article in National Review is an extended exercise in missing the point. Turner, a scholar of the history of American religion, and the author of a recent book on the Plymouth colony, surveys the debate about the New York Times’s 1619 Project with the traditional attitude of a liberal scholar — a facile resort to moral equivalence. Turner, positioning himself as the neutral and expert arbiter, frames the 1619 Project and its critics as equally mistaken — the one unduly obsessed with the 1619 arrival of blacks in Virginia as the foundation of an America built on slavery, and the other unduly obsessed with the 1620 arrival of the Pilgrims at Plymouth, as the foundation of an America built on liberty. Neither view, says Turner, is correct. Nor are views of America as built on liberty in 1776 or 1787. All the supposed foundations of liberty are compromised by racism or elitism: The proper way to understand America is to look at the endless details of Americans’ flaws, and not their sweeping aspirations. Turner’s entire approach is misguided.)

I would focus on their success in destroying the aforesaid organizations.)
https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/491105-campaigns-face-attack-ad-dilemma-amid-coronavirus-crisis
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Democrats argue that attacking Trump’s response to the coronavirus pandemic is fair game in energizing their base and swaying swing voters and moderate Republicans. “We need to be defining Trump,” said Kelly Dietrich, the founder of the National Democratic Training Committee, which has been training down-ballot campaigns on how to handle the pandemic. “Forty-two percent of America is always going to believe that Donald Trump is the supreme genius, and our beloved leader for them,” he continued. “That’s not who we’re talking to.

https://www.politico.com/states/new-jersey/story/2020/04/01/coronavirus-clampdown-the-virus-casts-a-shroud-over-american-civic-life-1270386
(FROM THE ARTICLE: States and cities across the country are cutting off access to open records and canceling in-person meetings, starving the public — not to mention lobbyists and other influence-brokers — of information as the coronavirus outbreak reaches into all corners of civic life. The public access shutdown comes just as local officials make unprecedented decisions about health care and how to disburse billions of dollars in federal aid. And it could undermine years of hard-won victories on access to information, some transparency advocates say, with now-temporary restrictions enduring even after this crisis has receded. Meetings that typically allow constituents to physically interact with their representatives have been suspended. Activists and lobbyists no longer have physical access to state lawmakers in some places. And many cities and states, their staff preoccupied with the virus, have halted or curbed their responses to public records requests. That is meeting pushback from some public transparency and good government advocates who warn that a public health emergency shouldn’t undermine the public’s access to the workings of government — particularly when that government is making critical, life-and-death decisions. One advocate drew a parallel to how some records vanished from public view after the Sept. 11 attacks. “Here’s another huge national event, this health crisis, that is probably also going to set new precedents for what’s going to be available or not and how people are going to respond or not respond based on the new normal,” said Daniel Bevarly, executive director National Freedom of Information Coalition. In-the-open policymaking has receded as elected officials hunker down.)

IRS hired me in 1971 because it could not find a qualified Democrat, minority, female, or veteran who would take the job.

(FROM THE ARTICLE: The Office of Personnel Management on Monday released a policy clearing the way for increased recruitment, retention and relocation incentives — the “3Rs,” in government lingo — for employees in high-demand positions. Normally, agencies may pay up to an additional 25 percent of salary, but with OPM’s permission they can pay up to 50 percent more. “Agencies may request that OPM waive one or more of these limits to address a critical agency need, such as agency programs or projects related to the President’s declaration of a national emergency concerning the COVID-19 pandemic,” OPM said, inviting agencies to make requests and providing a template for them to use.)

— Navy Secretary apologizes after calling USS Roosevelt’s fired captain ‘stupid’ – Tom Vanden Brook (DIERSEN: My Democrat superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates in the federal government hinted/implied/argued/shouted that federal employees were stupid and even worse things if they did not a) promote the Democrat Party platform and b) get rid of federal employees who were Republican, and especially those who were White, male, and/or non-veteran.)
https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2020/04/06/coronavirus-navy-calls-fired-crozier-stupid-more-ships-test-positive/2955472001/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: It’s unclear what prompted Modly’s sudden change of heart. However, hours earlier President Donald Trump waded into the controversy, saying at a White House briefing that he would “look into” Crozier’s case. In addition, powerful lawmakers called for Modly to be fired. And the Navy, shortly after Trump spoke, said it had extended the deadline for its investigation into Crozier’s letter. Trump called the letter a “mistake” that had worried families and showed “weakness.” But he said Crozier has had a “very good” career. “I don’t want to destroy somebody for having a bad day,” he said. Relieving an officer of command typically ends the officer’s career. After getting fired, they often take administrative jobs that lead to retirement. Trump said he was good at settling such issues and “can figure it out very fast.”)
