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

— 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.)

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.)

Williams (DIERSEN: According to my critics/opponents, their operatives, and the dupes, I was able to do the following solely because I benefitted tremendously from past and present discrimination against minorities, against women, and against veterans: 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. The Post Office hired me in 1966 and let me work there for almost 3 years. IRS hired me in 1971 or let me work there for almost 9 years. IRS promoted me in 1972, 1973, and 1974. GAO hired me in 1980 and let me work there for almost 18 years. GAO promoted me in 1986. I bought new cars in 1966, 1967, 1968, 1971, etc. I bought real estate in 1972, 1974, and 1976.

A city councilman must be a resident of the city of Clarksville; be at least 18; have resided in the city for 12 months; and reside in and be qualified to vote in the ward to which they seek appointment.

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.)

https://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/breaking/ct-met-illinois-recreational-marijuana-protest-20190506-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Opponents of legalizing recreational marijuana in Illinois on Monday rejected Gov. J.B. Pritzker’s argument that his proposal would promote social equity by providing potential benefits to communities that have been disproportionately affected by enforcement of lower-level drug crimes. “Minorities have said to me we don’t want this stuff in our neighborhood,” state Rep. Marty Moylan, D-Des Plaines, said at a news conference outside the Thompson Center in the Loop. “There’s other ways to generate revenue, not on the backs of our children and young adults.”)

https://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/politics/ct-met-cheri-bustos-democrat-incumbents-lipinski-newman-20190506-story.html
— FROM THE ARTICLE: Bustos has faced criticism from more progressive elements of the party for opposition to primary challenges and for a DCCC policy that also prohibits political advisers, consultants or vendors from doing work with the organization if they work against incumbents. “I don’t want to spend one ounce of any resource on keeping Democrats in the seats that they already have.

HARVARD BUSINESS REVIEW
— No Partner, No Kids, No Problem (DIERSEN: Government is nasty. Politics is nasty. Democrats, Libertarians, Greens, and RINOs are nasty.

https://hbr.org/podcast/2019/05/no-partner-no-kids-no-problem
(FROM THE ARTICLE: If you aren’t married and don’t have kids, people at work might assume a lot of things: that you can stay late at the office, that you can’t possibly understand their stories about parenthood, that you just haven’t found the right partner (ugh). But those assumptions are often false. Single childless women have busy lives, close relationships with children like nieces or nephews — and many don’t want coupledom or motherhood. We talk to two women who’ve been researching and writing about being a single childless professional. The writer Shani Silver shares her experience with the career pros and cons, and then Tracy Dumas, a professor at Ohio State University, gives research-backed advice for responding to bias and unrealistic expectations.)

— 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. Recent sales near 915 Cove Court in Wheaton are at https://www.zillow.com/homes/comps/4447887_zpid/. What percent is your real estate tax bill of what your assessor says your home is worth? 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.)

DAILY CALLER
— POYNTER INSTITUTE SHELVES ENTIRE BLACKLIST OF ‘UNRELIABLE’ NEWS OUTLETS FOLLOWING BACKLASH – Mike Brest (DIERSEN: According to my critics/opponents, www.gopillinois.com and GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails are unreliable. I should write a book about my critics/opponents. Better yet, I should sue them.) 
https://dailycaller.com/2019/05/02/poynter-shelves-entire-unreliable-news-outlets-list-following-backlash/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The Poynter Institute, a journalism nonprofit organization, has completely disabled a list of what they labeled as an extensive list of “unreliable” news websites on Thursday night after facing scrutiny in the days since its publication. A litany of conservative publications, including The Washington Free Beacon and The Washington Examiner, were lumped into the list of “unreliable” publications and it received nearly instantaneous condemnation from them. “Soon after we published, we received complaints from those on the list and readers who objected to the inclusion of certain sites, and the exclusion of others. We began an audit to test the accuracy and veracity of the list, and while we feel that many of the sites did have a track record of publishing unreliable information, our review found weaknesses in the methodology,” Poynter’s managing editor Barbara Allen said in a statement on their website. “We detected inconsistencies between the findings of the original databases that were the sources for the list and our own rendering of the final report.” She went on, “We are removing this unreliable sites list until we are able to provide our audience a more consistent and rigorous set of criteria.” Aside from the list of “unreliable” news outlets, the initial publication included an accompanying article that called for advertisers to use the list in an effort to “blacklist” these websites. That language was deleted from the story and an update went along with it. Baybars Orsek, the director of the International Fact-Checking Network, told the Washington Examiner that they would be “evaluating all removal requests on a case by case basis,” and adding that “the total number of complaints is less than 2% of the whole database.”)

My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes stress those in Wheaton, in Glen Ellyn, in Milton Township, in DuPage County, and in Illinois who claim to be religious, conservative, and/or Republican and who have lots of religious, government, political, and/or financial clout who not only fail/refuse to come to my defense, but who discourage everyone from reading GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails. They stress that I am no longer a TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois chairman, Wheaton Chamber of Commerce Government Affairs Committee member, Milton Township Republican Central Committee (MTRCC) webmaster, Illinois Center Right Coalition Steering Committee member, American Association of Political Consultants Midwest Chapter board member, etc. My critics/opponents and those who they manipulate/dominate 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 MTRCC 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. – Dave Diersen

GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— The Republican Party exists to promote conservative principles; the Democrat Party exists to promote liberal principles; the Libertarian Party exists to promote libertarian principles; and the Green Party exists to promote green principles. Political parties exist to help elect candidates who can and will defend and advance their platform. The Illinois Republican Party (IRP) platform (https://illinois.gop/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/2016PlatformoftheIllinoisRepublicanParty.pdf) is conservative. The Republican Party platform (https://gop.com/platform/) is conservative. I served on the 2008 IRP State Convention Platform and Resolutions Committee. Disgustingly, outrageously, and unacceptably, the Republican Party, IRP, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Milton Township Republican Central Committee let people hold leadership positions a) who reject many planks in the aforesaid platforms and b) focus on destroying those like me who support the aforesaid platforms. Most commonly, these Democrat Party plants, Libertarian Party plants, Green Party plants, and RINOs reject the traditional family, right to life, immigration, Second Amendment, illegal drugs, and equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) planks. From what I see, they are working very hard to fill the 2020 IRP State Convention Platform and Resolution Committee with members who will water down if not strike the aforesaid planks. I have asked my representative on the IRP State Central Committee to appoint me to the 2020 IRP State Convention Platform and Resolution Committee. – Dave Diersen

— Ignorance, Fear, and LGBTQ – Lloyd Marcus
https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2019/05/ignorance_fear_and_lgbtq.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Mary and I met with several black relatives for dinner at a restaurant in Baltimore. The jovial conversation drifted to politics. I was stunned that they know nothing about several important political issues. Because they only watch mainstream media, my relatives are either misinformed or uninformed. For example,, my relatives have never heard of Sharia Law. When I explained the tyranny of Sharia and how leftists are promoting it in America, my relatives were shocked. Overwhelmed, a relative said, “I’ve heard enough. Can we change the subject?” The second thing that disturbed me was my relatives’ intense fear of pushing back against LGBTQ indoctrination that is impacting their lives. As I said, these are not political people. And yet, they know they had better not get caught opposing LGBTQ activists forcefully infiltrating every aspect of our lives; from public education to entertainment to Sunday morning worship.)

https://www.commdiginews.com/politics-2/a-cautionary-tale-unfettered-illegal-immigration-creates-a-failing-nation-117991/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: “We are a nation of immigrants” is a favorite aphorism of vote-seeking politicians. The saying reaches back to the 1870s. However, it is not true. So who cares? The pretense that we are all immigrants is babble. Words thrown about by the politicians to curry favor with some minority du jour. It is more “give me your vote,” and I will pay you with social safety nets.” Most politicians aren’t interested in the nonsensical twaddle about “give me your tired and your poor” as reflected on the Statue of Liberty. Maybe an update to the original should be “Welcome to New York, home of AOC and DeBlasio. If you think it was bad where you were, with until you start paying for NY Liberal policies.” This meaning that the taxpayer will provide the dollars necessary to provide immigrants – legal and illegal – with food, housing, medical care – those things bought and paid for by American taxes. Taxes squeezed from the citizens who may or may not want an influx of “the tired, huddled masses” seeking economic opportunity in the US.)

If they had more money, how would that have impacted you? Neither of my outstanding parents attended college. My father was the first of his ancestors to earn a high school diploma.

He almost always worked second jobs to help pay the family’s bills. He did not buy a new car until he was 45 years old and it was a bottom of the line 2-door Chevy with almost no options. He died suddenly of heart failure in 1969 when he was 47 and I was 21.)

https://www.theglobeandmail.com/business/careers/leadership/article-how-to-get-rated-as-a-high-potential-employee/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Support company goals – especially your boss’s goals What matters most is what matters to your boss. It’s that simple. Put your own agenda aside and focus on things your boss thinks are most important. And don’t assume you know what these are. Ask for a goal-setting session with your boss each year so you’re clear what you should be focusing on.)

— Age and the American Presidency: How Old is ‘Too Old’? – Erica Gunderson (DIERSEN: To defend your health, and especially to defend your cognitive abilities, what would you stress? I would stress the fact that I have put together and sent out a GOPUSA ILLINOIS email each and every morning since 2004 (4,860+ days) and each and every evening too since 2015 (1,210+ days).)
https://news.wttw.com/2019/04/29/age-and-american-presidency-how-old-too-old
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Is there such a thing as being too old to be president? Americans first questioned whether a candidate was too old for the world’s highest office in 1840, with the candidacy of 67-year-old William Henry Harrison. He was 68 when he was inaugurated the nation’s ninth president. Barely a month later, a sudden bout of pneumonia ended his term – and his life. It was 140 years before America elected an older man to the presidency – Ronald Reagan, who was inaugurated at 69 and was 77 when he left office. Reagan was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease a few years later, but some believe he was showing signs of the disease during his second term as president. And in 2016, Donald Trump was 70 when he took the oath of office, making him the oldest president ever inaugurated. Among the 21 Democratic candidates hoping to challenge Trump in the 2020 election are more in their 60s and 70s than ever before. Two full generations separate the youngest presidential candidate, Pete Buttigieg (37), and the oldest, Bernie Sanders (77) and Joe Biden (76). Dr. John Holton, director of the Center for Gerontology at Concordia University, says that rather than asking if a candidate is too old for office, “a better question would be to ask what the characteristics of a bad president are. Would the answer have anything to do with the person’s age, religion, sexual orientation, disability, ethnicity, or experience? Are we confusing our assumptions about maturity with age?” Critics of older candidates say that electing a president in their 60s or 70s can be risky. The nation’s highest office is a physically demanding job that challenges even the fittest person – and there’s no good time for a health crisis when you’re in the Oval Office. Signs of age-related cognitive decline might not become apparent until it’s too late. Holton notes, “In the fishbowl life of a U.S. president, it would be highly unlikely that [cognitive impairment] would go unnoticed or unaddressed by staff and cabinet members.” There is also the consideration of life span. While life spans are longer than they were when the country was young, simple statistics indicate that electing a candidate in their 70s greatly increases the odds they’ll die while in office, but again, Holton points out that each candidate must be judged individually. “No more than 25% of longevity is determined by our genes, which means that 75% is determined by our choices and lifestyle behaviors,” he said. Holton also points out that at the moment, two Supreme Court justices are performing their own demanding jobs into their 80s (to wit: 86-year-old Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s famously rigorous exercise regimen). Many voters might consider advanced age a sign of experience and wisdom – qualities that presumably anyone would consider positive qualifications for office.)

During all of the almost 30 years that I worked for the federal government, one or more of my superiors were Jewish. During 1977 and 1978, my Jewish IRS superiors worked with Jewish Money Magazine employees and published a very nasty 4-page article on me in the February 1978 issue of Money Magazine the foisted negative government employee stereotypes on me and painted my education deductions as being improper.)

— Wheaton Bowl closing stirs memories for generations of families – Katlyn Smith (DIERSEN: In 2002, I succeeded in getting the Milton Township Republican Central Committee (MTRCC) to hold its monthly meetings in the building’s Banquet Hall, and MTRCC has met there ever since. Since 1999, I have had the best record by far for attending MTRCC meetings and fundraisers. In addition, while I served on the Illinois Center Right Coalition (ICRC) Steering Committee 2003-2007, I succeeded in getting ICRC to hold many of its meetings there. I should write a book about what certain past and present MTRCC and ICRC leaders have said about me at MTRCC and ICRC meetings. In 2004, they crushed my bid to serve as MTRCC Treasurer. In 2006, they almost succeeded in getting ICRC to censure me for my GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails. In 2007, they succeeded in throwing me off the ICRC Steering Committee. They hint/imply/argue/shout that my success in getting Wheaton to ban video gambling since 2009 has caused the Wheaton Bowl great financial harm.)

The brokerage firm marketing the property, CBRE, is representing four shuttered Chicago area bowling centers that are up for sale, Falbo said. “It’s been a long time coming,” said Falbo, who lives near Glen Ellyn. “The business has just been slowly diminishing, and it just isn’t profitable anymore.”)
