NEW YORK TIMES
— FRONT PAGE TOP OF FOLD: In a front page top of fold editorial unethically made to look like a news article, anti-Trumps promote Black hatred of Trump.
https://www.nytimes.com/2017/01/15/us/politics/trumps-race-john-lewis.html
— John’s Gospel of Trump’s Illegitimacy – Charles M. Blow  (DIERSEN: Are you a draft avoider? I sought and obtained student draft deferments 1966-1970 and I sought and obtained a financial hardship draft deferment 1970-1971.  Since 1966, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have used that against me. They focus on turning veterans against me.  While I worked for the federal government for almost 30 years, most of my superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates were veterans, and at times, virtually all of them were veterans.)
https://www.nytimes.com/2017/01/16/opinion/johns-gospel-of-trumps-illegitimacy.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Trump attacks Lewis as, “All talk, talk, talk — no action”; Lewis, who repeatedly thrust his body unto the breach for justice, who was arrested, beaten and terrorized, including during the time that young Trump was at his well-heeled schools, receiving draft deferments from the Vietnam War. In fact, one of Trump’s five deferments was in 1965, the same year as the Selma marches and “Bloody Sunday,” during which Lewis was struck so violently by a state trooper wielding a billy club that Lewis’s skull was fractured. Coincidentally, Trump finally received his permanent exemption from the draft, a 4-F status, in the year before he and his father were sued by the Department of Justice for violating the Fair Housing Act of 1968 — one of the many justice issues Lewis championed. As The New York Times noted at the time: “The government contended that Trump Management had refused to rent or negotiate rentals ‘because of race and color.’ It also charged that the company had required different rental terms and conditions because of race and that it had misrepresented to blacks that apartments were not available.” Let’s be clear: Donald Trump doesn’t even deserve to stand in John Lewis’s shadow. The spectacular obscenity of Trump’s comment is incomparable and deeply repulsive.)

They hint/imply/argue/shout that everything that I have that is positive is because of the aforesaid.

WALL STREET JOURNAL
— China Tightens Apps Oversight  Beijing begins requiring the country’s hundreds of internet app stores to register with the state – EVA DOU (DIERSEN: My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes might not admit it, but they want all of the following to “oversee” my GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails, that is, they want to require me to get written permission from the following before including links to articles in the emails and listing upcoming events in the emails: the Milton Township Republican Central Committee officers, the DuPage County Republican Central Committee officers, the DuPage County Republican township party chairmen, the Illinois Republican Party (IRP) officers, the IRP State Central Committee members, the IRP National Committeeman, the IRP National Committeewoman, all those elected and appointed Republicans for my precinct, for Milton Township, for DuPage County, and for Illinois, etc.)
http://www.wsj.com/articles/china-tightens-apps-oversight-1484568024
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Plugging a gap in the Great Firewall, China on Monday began requiring internet app stores to register with the state. China has long censored websites, barring outlawed content such as pornography, the promotion of illegal activity including terrorism and “rumors,” a term regulators often apply to antigovernment statements. But apps create a special challenge for government censors, experts say, because they often incorporate a wide variety of functions and serve as platforms for users to exchange information, making them harder to oversee. They are also multiplying quickly.)

— Pulling Retirement Cash, but Not by Choice  Baby boomers’ mandatory withdrawals from 401(k)s, IRAs and other tax-deferred retirement accounts start in full force this year, touching off a massive shift of cash – VIPAL MONGA and SARAH KROUSE  (DIERSEN: The cost of living in Wheaton is very high.  Because my Democrat superiors in the federal government wasted my career and forced me to retire in 1997 when I was 49 years old, my Civil Service Retirement System pension is dramatically reduced.  Because of that, increasingly, my wife and I are spending more than our income. When I am 70 1/2, we will use my required minimum distribution to help pay for things like real estate taxes, income taxes, medical expenses, food, utilities, and insurance.)
http://www.wsj.com/articles/pulling-retirement-cash-but-not-by-choice-1484568043
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The largest generation in U.S. history has to start pulling its retirement money this year, kicking off a mandatory movement of cash that could total hundreds of billions in the coming decades. U.S. law requires anyone age 70 ½ or older to begin annual withdrawals from their tax-sheltered retirement accounts and pay taxes on those distributions. The oldest of the nation’s 75 million baby boomers cross that threshold for the first time this month, according to a U.S. Census Bureau estimate of when that demographic group began. The obligatory outflows from 401(k)s and IRAs are expected to ripple through the U.S. economy, the stock market and a money-management industry that relies heavily on fees from boomers’ tax-sheltered savings plans and assets. Boomers hold roughly $10 trillion in tax-deferred savings accounts, according to an estimate by Edward Shane, a managing director at Bank of New York Mellon Corp. Over the next two decades, the number of people age 70 or older is expected to nearly double to 60 million—roughly the population of Italy. Firms that manage 401(k) plans are trying to persuade clients to reinvest their withdrawals in other products rather than spending or donating the cash to charity. It’s another pain point for many traditional money managers already struggling to keep some clients from shifting into lower-cost index-tracking mutual funds.)
— Donald Trump Demands Apology From Intelligence Agencies, Media Over Dossier – HARRIET TORRY  (DIERSEN: My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have always demanded that I apologize for causing all of their problems, for causing all of your problems, for causing all of my problems, and for causing all of everyone’s problems.)
http://blogs.wsj.com/washwire/2017/01/15/donald-trump-demands-apology-from-intelligence-agencies-media-over-dossier/
— How Electric Vehicles Could End Car Ownership as We Know It – CHRISTOPHER MIMS  (DIERSEN: Virtually all of my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes a) hate unions, b) hate past and present union members, c) hate General Motors, Ford, and Chrysler, d) hate those who own/owned vehicles made by General Motors, Ford, or Chrysler.  I was a union member for almost 12 years.  I bought my first car in 1964.  That car, and all the cars that I have bought since then, were made by General Motors, Ford, or Chrysler.)

My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes a) despise if not hate my parents, Trinity Lutheran Grade School, and Hope Lutheran Grade School and b) shout that the aforesaid made me much “too conservative.” My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes want me to join with them in promoting dependency on government and charity, LGBTQ activity, abortion, mass/illegal immigration, booze, gambling, pot, race based preference giving, gender based preference giving, age discrimination, etc.)

— DIERSEN HEADLINE: Illegals and their supporters say “We are here to stay.” In my opinion, it is a crime to come to America illegally, to stay in America illegally, and to bring others to America illegally. In my opinion, it is a crime to encourage people to come to America illegally, to stay in America illegally, and to bring others to America illegally.  If legal and illegal immigration were as high during the 1960s as it is today, I doubt that I would have gotten the jobs that did doing yard work, delivering newspapers, washing dishes, cleaning golf shoes, chipping slag, pumping gasoline, and delivering mail. If legal and illegal immigration were as high during the 1970s as it is today, I doubt that I would have gotten the jobs that did working on an automobile assemble line, working as a security guard, selling tires, automotive services, and major appliances, pumping gasoline, and collecting delinquent taxes. If legal and illegal immigration were as high during the 1980s as it is today, I doubt that I would have gotten the job that did auditing federal agencies.  My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes hint/imply/argue/shout that all the jobs that I had were bad jobs, but nevertheless, jobs that should be given to immigrants.)

In 1971, Oldsmobile and IRS would not have offered me a job if I had not had a bachelor’s degree in business. In 1972, 1973, and 1974, IRS might not have promoted me if I had not been taking graduate business classes.  In 1980, GAO would not have offered me a job if I had not had an MBA and if I had not passed the CPA examination. The Democrats who ran GAO would have succeeded in getting rid of me even sooner than they did if I had not earned a master’s degree in accounting in 1980, passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination in 1981, became a licensed CPA in 1981, became a Certified Fraud Examiner in 1990, became a Certified Government Financial Manager in 1994, became a Certified Financial Services Auditor in 1996, and became Forensic Accountant in 1997 and if I had not earned a master’s degree in financial markets and trading in 1997.)

— A wall isn’t “the” answer to our immigration problem – TOM TANCREDO
http://www.denverpost.com/2017/01/14/a-wall-isnt-the-answer-to-our-immigration-problems/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The answer is called E-Verify, an internet-based system for verifying legal work status, the infrastructure for which already exists. It’s is a program operated by the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services bureau of the Department of Homeland Security. In less than one minute, any employer can use it to verify the legal status of the person seeking employment. Today it is a voluntary program used by over a half-million private sector employers that do not rely on illegal labor. We can halt probably 95 percent of unlawful hiring of illegal labor if E-Verify is made mandatory for all employers except those using a legal guest worker program to obtain temporary employees. But here’s the really scary part to my former colleagues: once in place, it is largely self-enforcing and does not depend on an army of immigration agents doing on-site inspections of paper records. It works, and that’s why it is so vigorously opposed. Mandatory E-verify will reduce illegal immigration dramatically. If we remove the magnet of jobs, far fewer people try to enter illegally, and once fully implemented, most of those already here will be forced to return home and start on a legal path of entry into the United States.)

— Why millennials are worse off than Baby Boomers – AP  (DIERSEN: What about the draft? Millennials have never been subject to the draft. I was subject to the draft, that is, I was draft bait, 1966-1971. Employers did not want to hire those who are subject to the draft.  My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have always hinted/implied/argued/shouted that if I had not avoided the draft with student draft deferments 1966-1970 and a financial hardship draft deferment 1970-1971, I never would have been able to a) graduate from NIU debt-free in 1970, earn an MBA from Loyola in 1976, earn a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980, etc., b) get job offers from the Post Office in 1966, from Firestone Stores in 1970, from Oldsmobile and IRS in 1971, and from GAO in 1980, c) pass the CPA examination in 1979, pass the Certified Internal Auditor examination in 1981, become a licensed CPA in 1981, etc., d) buy new cars in 1966, 1967, 1968, 1971, 1978, etc., e) buy a new town home in 1972, a studio condo in 1974, a one bedroom condo in 1976, f) get married in 1978, g) buy a home in Wheaton with my wife in 1978, h) etc.)
http://www.dailyherald.com/article/20170113/business/170119480/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: With a median household income of $40,581, millennials earn 20 percent less than boomers did at the same stage of life, despite being better educated, according to a new analysis of Federal Reserve data by the advocacy group Young Invincibles. The analysis being released Friday gives concrete details about a troubling generational divide that helps to explain much of the anxiety that defined the 2016 election. Millennials have half the net worth of boomers. Their homeownership rate is lower, while their student debt is drastically higher. The generational gap is a central dilemma for the incoming presidency of Donald Trump, who essentially pledged a return to the prosperity of post-World War II America. The analysis also hints at the issues of culture and identity that divided many voters, showing that white millennials — who still earn much more than their blacks and Latino peers — have seen their incomes plummet the most relative to boomers. . .The analysis of the Fed data shows the extent of the decline. It compared 25 to 34 year-olds in 2013, the most recent year available, to the same age group in 1989 after adjusting for inflation. Education does help boost incomes. But the median college-educated millennial with student debt is only earning slightly more than a baby boomer without a degree did in 1989. The homeownership rate for this age group dipped to 43 percent from 46 percent in 1989, although the rate has improved for millennials with a college degree relative to boomers. The median net worth of millennials is $10,090, 56 percent less than it was for boomers. Whites still earn dramatically more than Blacks and Latinos, reflecting the legacy of discrimination for jobs, education and housing. Yet compared to white baby boomers, some white millennials appear stuck in a pattern of downward mobility. This group has seen their median income tumble more than 21 percent to $47,688. Median income for black millennials has fallen just 1.4 percent to $27,892. Latino millennials earn nearly 29 percent more than their boomer predecessors to $30,436. The analysis fits into a broader pattern of diminished opportunity. Research last year by economists led by Stanford University’s Raj Chetty found that people born in 1950 had a 79 percent chance of making more money than their parents. That figure steadily slipped over the past several decades, such that those born in 1980 had just a 50 percent chance of out-earning their parents. This decline has occurred even though younger Americans are increasingly college-educated. The proportion of 25 to 29 year-olds with a college degree has risen to 35.6 percent in 2015 from 23.2 percent in 1990, a report this month by the Brookings Institution noted. The declining fortunes of millennials could impact boomers who are retired or on the cusp of retirement. Payroll taxes from millennials helps to finance the Social Security and Medicare benefits that many boomers receive — programs that Trump has said won’t be subject to spending cuts. And those same boomers will need younger generations to buy their homes and invest in the financial markets to protect their own savings. “The challenges that young adults face today could forecast the challenges that we see down the road,” said Tom Allison, deputy policy and research director at Young Invincibles.)

— Commission on Government Forecasting and Accountability Report Paints Disappointing Economic Picture – Greg Bishop  (DIERSEN: Under the Democrats, ever-increasingly, Illinois is anti-Protestant, anti-conservative, anti-Republican, anti-American, anti-White, anti-male, anti-older people, anti-rich people, anti-gun owners, anti-German Americans, and/or anti-those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time.)
http://altondailynews.com/news/details.cfm?clientid=17&id=234270#.WHoDJRsrKM8
(FROM THE ARTICLE: It suggested Illinois will remain an underperformer in the region thanks to manufacturing struggles and the state’s poor finances. The joint report with Moody’s Analytics said Illinois is the Midwest’s weakest link. With soft job creation, a decreasing labor force, continued manufacturing slump and population losses, the report said the state must navigate its fiscal challenges without doing lasting damage to its business climate. The COGFA/Moody’s report said Illinois is the only state in the region where no metro area has entered the expansion phase of the business cycle. Four metro areas — Elgin, Danville, Decatur and Kankakee — have recoveries that are at risk of coming undone. Four other areas are in recession: Bloomington, Carbondale, Peoria and the Quad Cities. “An uncomfortably high share of state residents are unemployed, underemployed or discouraged workers,” according to the report. It also said that, at 11 percent, “the proportion of marginally attached and involuntary part-time workers in the labor force is the highest in the Midwest.” House Minority Leader Jim Durkin, R-Western Springs, said the status quo is what’s hurting the middle class. “In the last three years, we have lost approximately 80,000 citizens,” he said. “We’ve lost 29,000 jobs over the last 16 years. I don’t call that standing up for the middle class. Is that protecting anyone? The numbers speak for themselves.” It’s possible to come back after a recession like neighboring states have, Durkin said, and he’s encouraged by Democrats recognizing the need for reforms to grow the economy.)

WALL STREET JOURNAL
— Tax Report: Where Taxpayers Won Against the IRS – LAURA SAUNDERS  (DIERSEN: I won a split decision in tax court.  I worked for IRS 1971-1980 as a Revenue Officer, the last 5 1/2 years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 levels (currently $79,563-$90,173). In 1978, Money Magazine and my Democrat IRS superiors disallowed the graduate business courses at Loyola and the graduate accounting courses at DePaul that I had deducted.  I argued that IRS encouraged its Revenue Officers to take graduate business and accounting courses, that the courses related to my job duties, that the courses helped me carry out my job duties, that the courses did not qualify me for a “new trade or business,” and that I did not take the courses to get a job in private industry.  The tax court judge allowed the six business courses, but disallowed the seven accounting courses by wrongly ruling that they qualified me for a “new trade or business” because I planned to take and to pass the CPA examination.)
http://www.wsj.com/articles/tax-report-where-taxpayers-won-against-the-irs-1484327075
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Are you dreaming of taking the Internal Revenue Service to court? Your chances of winning may not be as bad as you think, and it isn’t crazy to represent yourself. These insights come from data compiled by National Taxpayer Advocate Nina Olson, who is charged with representing taxpayer interests before the IRS and Congress. Each year, Ms. Olson publishes a deep dive into the IRS’s civil litigation as part of her annual report to Congress, which was released this week. This year’s report analyzes results from 609 federal tax decisions on the most-litigated code sections for the 12 months ended May 31. Most of the cases were in Tax Court, a specialized forum devoted to taxpayer conflicts with the IRS.)

— Central Illinois man files lawsuit over flag burning arrest- AP (DIERSEN: What do flag burners think of you?  Flag burners despise me, if not hate me.  Flag burners, like all my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes, blame me for their problems, blame me for your problems, blame me for my problems, and blame me for everyone’s problems.)
http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/breaking/ct-illinois-flag-burning-arrest-lawsuit-20170112-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Police in Urbana used Illinois’ flag desecration law to arrest local resident Bryton Mellott on July 4 of last year. He said he carefully planned his demonstration to protest racial discrimination, poverty and other injustices, and then posted six photographs of his actions on Facebook. The posts, which generated hundreds of comments, led police officers to arrest Mellott while he worked at Wal-Mart and detain him for several hours. He was released without being charged. Mellott, who is being represented by the American Civil Liberties Union of Illinois, was expected to discuss the lawsuit at a Thursday news conference in Champaign. The suit was filed late Wednesday. . .The Illinois case comes as the issue has been in the headlines. President-elect Donald Trump recently said that anyone who burns an American flag should face “consequences,” like jail or a loss of citizenship, despite the Supreme Court determinations.)

http://chicago.suntimes.com/opinion/kadner-only-club-members-vote-in-secret-illinois-elections/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Politicians hold secret meetings to select replacements for state legislators who leave office. No outsiders supervise the proceedings. It is not open to the public. That’s the law in Illinois. I’ve known about that process for years, but the lack of oversight really hit home after state Rep. Monique Davis, D-Chicago, recently resigned. On Jan. 5, a meeting of Democratic committeemen from her legislative district, the 27th, was allegedly held to name a replacement. That would include committeemen from the 9th, 19th, 21st and 34th wards in Chicago and Calumet, Orland, Bremen and Worth townships in the suburbs, as far as I can tell.)

— No more D.C. jobs for Obama, Clinton loyalists  (DIERSEN: I should write a book about those involved in Republican politics in Wheaton, in Glen Ellyn, in Milton Township, in DuPage County, and in Illinois who make it clear a) that their first loyalty is to whoever has the most clout in the Milton Township Republican Central Committee (MTRCC), the DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and the Illinois Republican Party and b) that they care little or nothing about, or even reject, the Republican Party platform, the Illinois Republican Party platform, and the MTRCC resolution against video gambling.  They focus on destroying those like me who they cannot manipulate/dominate.)

— The unsung heroes of Illinois  Watchdogs John Kraft and Kirk Allen are raising a racket over local corruption – Johnny Kampis  (DIERSEN: When do you raise racket?  I raise racket when Republican elected officials and party leaders fail/refuse to defend/advance the Republican Party platform, the Illinois Republican Party platform, and the Milton Township Republican Central Committee resolution against video gambling.  Political parties exist to help elect candidates who can/will defend/advance their platform.)
http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2017/jan/11/the-unsung-heroes-of-illinois/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Perhaps the most long-lasting effect of the investigative work done by John Kraft and Kirk Allen with Edgar County Watchdogs isn’t the more than 200 officials they’ve chased out of office, but the viral impact they’ve had. Others in Illinois have formed their own groups in Illinois to combat waste, fraud and abuse by public officials, including a coalition in Morgan County that has managed to bust several bureaucrats there. “They’re replicating the model,” Mr. Allen said. “We’re excited to see them step up and have success.” Edgar County Watchdogs, now rebranded as Illinois Leaks, has also spurred state media to action. Mr. Allen said Chicago Tribune reporters have told him his and Mr. Kraft’s work has “forced them to do a better job and do it faster.” Messrs. Kraft and Allen came together in 2011, discussing each other’s bureaucratic woes at a candidate’s dinner. Mr. Kraft had asked to film a school graduation so he could sell the video and learned that someone else was hired for the job without public discussion. Mr. Allen, the volunteer fire chief in the town of Kansas, learned that a dispatcher didn’t instruct the parents of a baby having trouble breathing on CPR techniques. He investigated and learned the 911 call center hadn’t certified its dispatchers in CPR techniques in the past six years, as is required by law. Further investigation there determined that taxpayer money was used for everything from pizza parties to gambling. Messrs. Kraft and Allen created their website and started investigating, using Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests to uncover a fount of bureaucratic blunders.)

 

DAILY CALLER
— HUD Spent Almost $1M To Cover Up Accusation Against Top Exec – Luke Rosiak  (DIERSEN: My Democrat superiors in the federal government never made a racist remark to me, but my Democrat GAO superiors forced me to retire in September of 1997 when I was 49 years old, did not promote me beyond GS-13, 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 an $18,459 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, and disallowed my partial day per diem claims.  My Democrat Post Office superiors forced me resign in 1969 and disallowed my sick leave requests. In 1997, in today’s dollars, GAO paid me $122,991. My pension is only $50,720. $122,991 minus $50,720 times 19 years and 4 months is $1,397.239.)
http://dailycaller.com/2017/01/11/exclusive-hud-spent-1m-to-cover-up-accusation-against-top-exec/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Taxpayers wrote a $900,000 settlement check to a federal employee to compensate her for once being likened to a “Little Rascals” character by her boss, The Daily Caller News Foundation’s Investigative Group (TheDCNF)  has learned. The secret settlement appears to be one of the largest-ever discrimination settlement payouts to an individual federal employee. The payment came after an Equal Opportunity Employment office ruled that the remark was racist and accepted without challenge the claim that it caused nearly a million dollars worth of emotional harm. The offending boss was Mary K. Kinney, then-executive vice president of Ginnie Mae, which is part of the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).)

CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— Public speaks out on plan to merge DuPage Election Commission into clerk’s office – Gary Gibula  (DIERSEN: Political parties exist to help elect candidates who can and will defend and advance their platform.  Are you a partisan? I have always been one.  According to Wikipedia, “In politics, a partisan is a committed member of a political party.” I have always been a “a committed member” of the Republican Party, and especially since 1999, I have been “a committed member” of the Milton Township Republican Central Committee (MTRCC), DuPage County Republican Central Committee (DCRCC), and the Illinois Republican Party (IRP). However, those who dominate the MTRCC, DCRCC, IRP, and the Republican Party and who reject planks in the IRP platform and/or in the Republican Party platform define “a committed member” differently.  According them, “a committed member” a) is someone who rejects the same planks that they do, usually the traditional family, right to life, immigration, illegal drugs, Second Amendment, gambling, and/or equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) planks and b) serves as one of their operatives or as one of their dupes.)
http://www.chicagotribune.com/suburbs/aurora-beacon-news/news/ct-nvs-dupage-election-merger-hearing-st-0111-20170110-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: “There has to be a procedure for true bipartisanship,” said Elmhurst resident Bob Peikert, who is chairman of the DuPage Democratic Party organization. “When the Republican chair of the county board is choosing which Democrats will be on the election commission, that is not bipartisanship.” Janice Anderson is a Naperville resident and newly-elected District 5 DuPage County Board member. “Ideally, I don’t think anyone on the election commission should be partisan,” said Anderson, a Republican. “I think the chairman has made some good picks, previously. You look as who’s the best person for a position.”)

LIFESITE NEWS
— An inside look at the International LGBT Leaders Conference and what really goes on  Major corporations like State Farm, Walmart, Comcast and Google funded the LGBT Leaders conference, as they do many other homosexual events. – Peter LaBarbera  (DIERSEN: Who works against you?  Overwhelmingly, those individuals, organizations, companies, governments, and countries that promote LGBT activity, their operatives, and their dupes work against me.)
https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/an-inside-look-at-the-international-lgbt-leaders-conference-and-what-really
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Walmart, AT&T, and Comcast were among the major corporate sponsors of the International LGBT Leaders Conference held December 8-10 to promote homosexual- and transgender-affirming laws, abortion, illegal immigration, and other “progressive” Democratic agendas. The conference, put on by the Gay and Lesbian Victory Institute — also known simply as the Victory Institute — was first envisioned as a recruiting event and strategy session to help place LGBTQ activists in a sympathetic Hillary Clinton administration. But with Donald Trump’s surprise victory on November 8, the event turned into a series of panel discussions on how to resist a Trump presidency and GOP-controlled Congress. The conference was hosted by the Washington Hilton Hotel, where President Ronald Reagan and three other men were shot in an assassination attempt in 1981. LifeSiteNews attended the Victory Institute conference, which drew more than 500 homosexual, bisexual and “transgendered” lawmakers as well as allied political and corporate activists from across the globe. This is the first of several articles on the conference, which offered a glimpse into President Obama’s success in pushing his LGBTQ policies in the United States and abroad and how difficult it will be to overturn them if President-elect Trump is so inclined. Victory Institute is associated with the Gay and Lesbian Victory Fund, a political action committee that works to elect openly homosexual, bisexual, and transgendered individuals to public office. Among Victory Fund’s co-founders in 1991 is homosexual activist and major Democratic Party fundraiser Terry Bean, who in 2014 at age 66 was arrested by Portland, Oregon, police along with his 25-year-old ex-boyfriend, Kiah Lawson, on charges of sodomizing a 15-year-old boy. As LifeSiteNews reported, Bean, who is also a co-founder of the LGBTQ lobby group Human Rights Campaign, was charged with two felony charges of third-degree sodomy and one count of third-degree sex abuse. The sex abuse charges against Bean were dropped after the boy fled and refused to testify following “an offer by Bean to end the case with a so-called ‘civil compromise’ in which Bean would pay the young man $225,000 and avoid a criminal trial,” Willamette Week reported. A transcript of a police interview with Lawson reveals that Bean reportedly knew the boy he was “hooking up” with sexually was underage and tried to coach him to say he was 18. A corporate-funded “gay insiders” army  Far more than on the abortion issue, in the LGBTQ “culture war” the homosexual-transgender lobby has a huge advantage over its pro-family opponents in both funding and the number of fully engaged activists. As homosexual power grew especially through two Obama terms, these conferences have gained more and more funding and sponsorships from large corporations, which have embraced the LGBTQ movement’s paradigm of viewing homosexualism and transgenderism strictly from a “civil rights” perspective. The Victory Institute conference was no exception. Most speaker panels were sponsored by a major corporation whose representative gave opening remarks touting that company’s commitment to LGBTQ issues. Here are some of the themes observed at the International LGBT Leaders conference: Openly “gay” and homosexually “married” American ambassadors — all men — discuss how living “out” proudly and publicly with their same-sex “husband” changes minds in the foreign nations in which they serve. They understand their role in normalizing “gay marriage” and the immoral homosexual lifestyle abroad. LGBTQ activists in the military discuss how they pushed for open homosexuality and then open transgenderism in the Armed Forces, and how transgender activists used key meetings with the Pentagon’s top brass to advance their gender-confusion agenda (without Congress). Why homosexual and transgender activists think it will be difficult to “roll back” many pro-LGBT policies enacted by President Obama — even transgenderism in the military. Representatives of major corporations (all conference sponsors) discuss how they are crucial to stopping “religious freedom” legislation at the state level. Corporate power is now central to LGBTQ lobbying nationwide. Homosexual (illegal) “immigration” activists apply homosexual activist “coming out” and victimhood tactics to their push for amnesty — comparing coming out as “gay” or “transgender” to coming out as an “undocumented” immigrant. How LGBTQ activists work hand-in-hand with other “progressive” agendas including abortion-on-demand, amnesty/“rights” for illegal immigrants, gun control and radical feminism — almost exclusively working with Democrats. When corporate America funds the LGBTQ movement, it mostly finances the left. LGBTQ activists adore President Obama for so aggressively pushing homosexual, bisexual and transgender policies at all levels of the federal government — and across the world by leveraging American power and his bully pulpit. Obama gave LGBTQ activists almost everything they wanted. He is a big part of the success of the “gay” and “transgender” revolution in the United States. But will Trump and the Republicans coming to power in Washington have the will to reverse it in any significant way?. . .Corporate Sponsors  The following were major corporate sponsors of the International LGBT Leaders Conference 2016: AARP, AT&T, Altria (cigarette and tobacco products), Coca-Cola, Comcast, Dow, Gilead (drug manufacturer), Pfizer, PG&E, Southwest Airlines, State Farm, Toyota, Union Pacific, Walmart, and Xylem (water technology). A future article will report on how so many major corporations are pushing LGBTQ policies to the point of becoming culture-war power players in stopping social conservative legislation. That includes laws designed to protect the freedom of citizens and small businesses not to participate in homosexual “marriages” and other aspects of the gay-trans agenda, according to the dictates of their conscience. As the reader will observe from these reports, homosexual and transgender activists lean heavily left and toward the Democratic Party. No panelists were seen speaking in support of Donald Trump or the Republican Party, and no homosexual Republicans, much less traditional GOP conservatives, were represented. Two days after Trump’s electoral win, Victory Fund President & CEO Aisha C. Moodie-Mills issued a statement that read in part, “Today I am heartbroken that racist, xenophobic, sexist and transphobic demagoguery won last night’s presidential election.” Time will tell whether major corporations ostensibly serving consumers of all persuasions — from far-left progressives to tea party conservatives — will pay a price for financing and aligning so closely with leftist LGBTQ politics of this sort.)

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/powerpost/wp/2017/01/11/democrats-seek-thaw-in-trump-plan-to-freeze-federal-hiring/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: “The impact of hiring freezes enacted during previous Democratic and Republican administrations demonstrates that such measures have not, in fact, significantly reduced the size of our federal workforce or enhanced federal government operations,” the 106 members wrote, citing a still-relevant 1982 Government Accountability Office (GAO) report. The previous freezes did not result in a significant reduction in the size of the workforce, yet served, the letter said, “to decrease efficiency, transparency, and accountability government-wide at the expense of the public safety and American taxpayer dollars.” Instead of controlling federal full-time employment, agencies increased temporary and part-time workers. “They also resorted to an extraordinary reliance on private contractors,” the Democrats wrote.)

AMERICAN THINKER
— Who Has More Privilege Than Barack Obama? – Jonathan F. Keiler  (DIERSEN: My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have always hinted/implied/argued/shouted that I was born with a silver spoon in my mouth and that I have always been privileged, and that because of that, I should pay the price of Affirmative Action, Diversity, and Inclusion.)
http://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2017/01/who_has_more_privilege_than_barack_obama.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Obama was not born into substantial wealth, but his family on both sides was well connected, providing a traditional advantage that allowed him entry into elite society.  This old-style leg up then combined with modern leftist ethnic-racial privileges, overwhelmingly present in academia and the media, to advance Obama at every turn.  This created a powerful cocktail of built-in benefits that gave Obama almost every conceivable benefit of the doubt while at the same time allowing him to claim victim status.  More than anything else, it is this dynamic that explains his rise and his selfishness.  It also clarifies Obama’s heavy narcissism, bullying behavior, and utter lack of graciousness. Without these privileges, Obama gets nowhere.  If you are inclined to learn more about how Obama got this way, read David Maraniss’s much heralded, largely hagiographic biography of Obama’s early years, if you can bear it.  Before I bought it, I noted a two-star review on Amazon: “Boring.”  Often such smart-aleck one-word reviews are off the mark, but not this time.)

JOURNAL STANDARD
— Unions have helped Americans thrive – Chuck and Pat Wemstrom  (DIERSEN: What does Gettleman think of you? In 2000, when Diersen v. GAO (
https://gopillinois.com/documents/) was transferred from Washington, DC to Chicago, it was assigned to Gettleman.  In open court, Gettleman made it very clear that he despised if not hated me and my claims against GAO.)
http://www.journalstandard.com/opinion/20170105/their-view-unions-have-helped-americans-thrive
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Scott Reeder, in a recent column, praised the actions of Mark Janus, “just an ordinary Joe,” who, with two other Illinois state employees, is continuing with litigation challenging “fair share” fees that non-union members pay to unions. The fees do not support political candidates but help pay for the collective bargaining that benefits all employees. Reeder gives the impression that Janus is a hero of the common people, fighting the big bad union for his individual rights: a Don Quixote battling the huge, anti-human windmills of the AFL-CIO. The truth is that Janus is part of a powerful, concerted effort to destroy unions. The original lawsuit was filed, in fact, by Gov. Bruce Rauner. In May U.S. District Judge Robert W. Gettleman dismissed Rauner’s action, deciding, correctly, that Rauner had no standing to sue. We don’t know why the governor of Illinois is instigating lawsuits against unions. One would think he’d have better things to do, such as governing the state and learning how to get along with a legislature duly elected by the people. Reeder quotes conservative Supreme Court justices, declaring everything a union does is political.)

FREEDOM’S JOURNAL
— HERE ARE SIX BLACK REPUBLICANS THAT TRUMP SHOULD PUT IN CABINET POSITIONS – Raynard Jackson  (DIERSEN: What does Trump owe your precinct, your municipality, your township/ward, your county, and Illinois?  Because so many voted for Clinton in my precinct, in Wheaton, in Milton Township, in DuPage County, and in Illinois, Trump owes the aforesaid ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.)
https://freedomsjournalinstitute.org/latest-news/opinion/here-are-six-black-republicans-that-trump-should-put-in-cabinet-positions/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: President-elect Donald Trump owes the Black community absolutely nothing. Let me repeat that: HE OWES US NOTHING! Blacks gave Trump just 8 percent of their vote and Hillary Clinton won 88 percent; Clinton’s share of Black voters was considerably lower than Obama’s 93 percent in 2008 and 96 percent in 2012. Trump has said that he will make things a lot better for Blacks and that he wants to be president of all of America. Trump won the election and “to the victor belong the spoils,” but if he’s serious about making things better for Blacks, he’s going to need the expertise and wealth of experience of Black Republicans during his transition to the White House and in his administration.)

EXPRESS NEWS
— House ethics office derives power from public embarrassment – Gilbert GarciaJa  (DIERSEN: My Democrat GAO superiors made sure that GAO employees knew that they forced me to retire in 1997 when I was 49 years old, did not promote me beyond GS-13, 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 an $18,459 pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980.  My Democrat IRS superiors made sure that IRS employees knew that they did not promote me beyond GS-12, disallowed my education deductions, and disallowed my partial day per diem claims.  My Democrat Post Office superiors made sure that Post Office employees knew that they forced me resign in 1969 and disallowed my sick leave requests.  Their message was we waste the careers of, and we get rid of Republicans, and especially Republicans who are White, male, older, and/or non-veteran.)
http://www.expressnews.com/news/news_columnists/gilbert_garcia/article/House-ethics-office-derives-power-from-public-10838544.php
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The Office of Congressional Ethics isn’t allowed to subpoena anyone, doesn’t have the power to hold hearings and can’t recommend sanctions. Its only real juice comes from the power to embarrass, to shame unethical members of the U.S. House (and deter future ethical lapses) by investigating allegations of corruption and submitting reports to the chronically worthless House Ethics Committee. It’s a power that former U.S. Rep. Michele Bachmann, R-Minnesota, decried back in 2008 when the office was created. Bachmann, through a spokesman, predicted that the OCE would prolong “the game of gotcha politics” and create an “unaccountable board of gossips and partisans that can sling mud.” It’s a power that motivated House Republicans — in a closed-door Monday vote — to approve a rules package that would have gutted the OCE, before they reversed course in the face of a public backlash. Bachmann saw negatives in all the positive aspects of the OCE. The office’s best virtue — that it’s independent of Congress — made it “unaccountable” in her eyes. Its willingness to dig into complaints the House Ethics Committee sweeps under the rug made it a “board of gossips.” Bachmann ultimately found herself on the receiving end of an OCE investigation into issues related to her 2012 presidential campaign, including the use of campaign funds to promote her autobiography and the improper mixing of funds between her campaign and her political action committee. The OCE referred the matter to the House Ethics Committee, which dragged its feet for a year, allowing Bachmann to leave office with no repercussions. You could argue, however, that the ongoing embarrassment of the ethics probe persuaded Bachmann to not seek re-election. The political shorthand on the OCE is that it’s a Democratic creation despised by Republicans. There’s some truth in that, because 159 Republicans — compared to only 23 Democrats — voted against its formation in 2008. But the bigger truth is that House members, regardless of party, have viewed the six-member panel largely through the prism of their own experiences with it.)
