SPRINGFIELD STATE JOURNAL REGISTER
— Many older adults worse off under GOP health plan – Dean Olsen (DIERSEN: How much of a problem has health care insurance been for you? For me, it has not been a problem because I had Federal Employees Health Benefits (FEHB) insurance when I was a federal employee and my wife and I continue to have FEHB insurance because I am federal retiree. We pay $5,763 a year and the federal government pays $17,288 a year for our health, dental, and vision insurance. I addition, we are both covered my Medicare. Together, we pay $2,731 a year for that.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Kevin Beeson says he was happy but not surprised Friday when Republican congressmen indefinitely postponed a vote on the American Health Care Act. “They don’t have an adequate plan,” said Beeson, 53, an unemployed former instructor at the University of Illinois Springfield. Beeson, who has Type 2 diabetes, said he values his Health Alliance insurance policy, which he obtained through Illinois’ health insurance exchange with federal subsidies to reduce the monthly premium to $116.)

Which faction controls your Republican county party organization? Which faction controls the Illinois Republican Party (IRP)? I have always been a member of the faction that wants to defend and advance the Republican Party platform, the IRP platform, and the Milton Township Republican Central Committee resolution against video gambling. The aforesaid faction has almost never been in control of the Milton Township Republican Central Committee, the DuPage County Republican Central Committee, or the IRP.)

— The Key to Financial Discipline? It May be as Simple as Taking a Class Study suggests students who took a basic financial-education course exhibited lower levels of impulsive behavior – SIMON CONSTABLE (DIERSEN: Most, if not virtually all of the operatives and the dupes who work for my critics/opponents lack “the ability to delay gratification.” Most have saved little or nothing for their retirement.)
https://www.wsj.com/articles/the-key-to-financial-discipline-it-may-be-as-simple-as-taking-a-class-1490582293
(FROM THE ARTICLE: It is well-known that successful investing requires patience and the ability to delay gratification. The question has long been: Can such discipline be taught? A recent study suggests it can. Researchers at Utah State University found that students who completed a basic financial-education course were more willing to wait for a bigger financial payout than those who didn’t. Put another way, those who took the class exhibited lower levels of impulsive behavior. “We see evidence that we can teach people self-control,” says William DeHart, a graduate student at Utah State University and one of the authors of the study, which appeared in PLOS ONE, a scientific journal published by the Public Library of Science, in July 2016.)

Much of what I did for IRS for almost 9 years is very similar to what I did for GAO for almost 18 years – investigating, fact gathering, interviewing, summarizing and analyzing data, making recommendations, report writing, etc.)

I bought a new town home in University Park in 1972 when I was 24 years old. I bought a studio condo in the Outer Drive East (ODE) building in downtown Chicago in 1974. I bought a one bedroom condo in the ODE building in 1976. My wife and I bought 1017 East Harrison in Wheaton in 1978. My wife and I had 915 Cove Court built in Wheaton in 1984.)

I am no longer the TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois chairman, a Wheaton Chamber of Commerce Government Affairs Committee member, the Milton Township Republican Central Committee webmaster, an Illinois Center Right Coalition Steering Committee member, or an American Association of Political Consultants Midwest chapter board member. My Democrat GAO superiors 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 $18,847 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. Oldsmobile withdrew its job offer that I had accepted saying it had just agreed to stop hiring Whites to settle an EEOC complaint in 1971. My Democrat Post Office superiors forced me resign in 1969 and disallowed my sick leave requests.)

GOPUSA ILLINOIS has always been in the first floor family room at 915 Cove Court in Wheaton. GOPUSA ILLINOIS has always officially declared who owns it (me) and who operates it (me). Unlike Breitbart, GOPUSA ILLINOIS has had no lavish parties. Unlike Breitbart, GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails and its website www.gopillinois.com have no advertising. He who pays the piper calls the tunes.)
http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2017/03/23/bannons-rise-forces-breitbart-news-out-shadows-and-basement-trump/99456912/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The bare-knuckled conservative news organization has moved its office out of the house where former chief Steve Bannon lived, has begun to reluctantly disclose its ownership, and, in its quest for official recognition, may even go so far as to publicly declare who runs the place. Breitbart has for the past several years operated, basically, out of Bannon’s house. Bannon was the executive chairman of Breitbart News and the ideological engine behind the site’s bareknuckled anti-immigration, anti-government ideology. He and the site both operated out of a townhouse on Capitol Hill a couple of blocks behind the Supreme Court. It became known as the “Breitbart Embassy,” site of lavish parties upstairs and the typing of a staff of young reporters downstairs, whom Bannon referred to as “the Valkyries.”)

— Yes, Illinois has a budget problem, but legalizing marijuana won’t fix it – Stephen Petersen, Downers Grove
http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/opinion/letters/ct-yes-illinois-has-a-budget-problem-but-legalizing-marijuana-won-t-fix-it-20170324-story.html
(FROM THE LETTER: Do state Sen. Heather Steans and state Rep. Kelly Cassidy have no shame? The thought of legalizing marijuana for the purpose of raising revenue from the manufacture and sale of marijuana is yet one more example of stealing from the futures of our children to pay for lawmakers’ pet projects today. I have two children in high school and one in middle school. They are good kids, get good grades, and are active in scouts and the community. I hear stories from them of what some of the other students are up to at Downers Grove North. I read about the heroin epidemic and grieve for the families that have recently lost children. My children tell me they just say no, and I believe them. But I also know what I was up to when I was in high school, and there but by the grace of God go I. I know that Illinois has a budget problem and have been told by Democrats for many years that there is literally nowhere to cut. I have also seen with my own eyes much of the graft in city and state contracting. The Democrats’ positioning is that there are no options but to raise taxes. These lawmakers want to raise taxes through drug use, and I find that despicable. For whatever reason, there has been no grand bargain on expanded gambling for expanded revenue, and that’s got to hurt. Prostitution is still illegal in Illinois, however not rare. My heart goes out to the young ladies and their families whose revenue potentials will be eyed next. Democratic leadership has already spent more money for today than our kids and grandkids could possibly pay back in their lifetimes, so that must make the politicians proud. Their idea of promoting and taxing drug use is a good one to keep money flowing in, but bodes poorly for future generations. By the time the bill comes due these two legislators will be living on their fat, taxpayer-provided pensions, so what do they care? What if there are no public taxpayers left in Illinois to pay it? Steans and Cassidy must think carefully about what they’re doing. And in the meantime, try not to string out the kids for their comfort.)

— DISGUSTING: Colorado weighs strategy for guarding against pot crackdown – AP (DIERSEN: If you promote pot, you are NOT a Republican.

If you promote pot, you are a Democrat, a Libertarian, or a Green. You are anti-Republican, anti-conservative, anti-religious, and anti-American.)
http://www.wsiltv.com/story/34995922/colorado-weighs-strategy-for-guarding-against-pot-crackdown
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Colorado is considering an unusual strategy to protect its nascent marijuana industry from a potential federal crackdown, even at the expense of hundreds of millions of dollars in tax collections. A bill pending in the Legislature would allow pot growers and retailers to reclassify their recreational pot as medical pot if a change in federal law or enforcement occurs. It’s the boldest attempt yet by a U.S. marijuana state to avoid federal intervention in its weed market. The bill would allow Colorado’s 500 or so licensed recreational pot growers to instantly reclassify their weed. A switch would cost the state more than $100 million a year because Colorado taxes medical pot much more lightly than recreational weed – 2.9 percent versus 17.9 percent. The measure says licensed growers could immediately become medical licensees “based on a business need due to a change in local, state or federal law or enforcement policy.” The change wouldn’t take recreational marijuana off the books, but it wouldn’t entirely safeguard it either. What it could do is help growers protect their inventory in case federal authorities start seizing recreational pot. The provision is getting a lot of attention in the marijuana industry following recent comments from members of President Donald Trump’s administration. White House spokesman Sean Spicer has said there’s a “big difference” between medical and recreational pot. Sponsors of the bill call it a possible exit strategy for the new pot industry. It’s hard to say how many businesses would be affected, or if medical pot would flood the market, because some businesses hold licenses to both grow and sell marijuana in Colorado. The state had about 827,000 marijuana plants growing in the retail system in June, the latest available data. More than half were for the recreational market. “If there is a change in federal law, then I think all of our businesses want to stay in business somehow. They’ve made major investments,” said Sen. Tim Neville, a suburban Denver Republican who sponsored the bill. If federal authorities start seizing recreational pot, Colorado’s recreational marijuana entrepreneurs “need to be able to convert that product into the medical side so they can sell it,” Neville said. His bill passed a committee in the Republican Senate 4-1 last week.)

— At What Age Do Millennials Consider Themselves Adults? The Answer Will Stun You. – AARON BANDLER (DIERSEN: At what age were you an adult, that is, at what age did you start paying all your own bills? For me, it was age 21 in 1970, when I started working for Firestone Stores in Chicago Heights. I paid not only all my own bills, I helped pay my mother’s and brother’s bills. My father had died suddenly in October of 1969 and I had applied for and I eventually got a financial hardship draft deferment. I was able to buy a new town home in University Park when I was 24 in 1972.)
http://www.dailywire.com/news/14747/what-age-do-millennials-consider-themselves-adults-aaron-bandler

According to The Wrap, research compiled by David Poltrack, CBS’ chief research officer and their ratings expert, as well as Nielsen Catalina Solutions, found that millennials consider themselves adults at age 30 because that’s when they typically are completely responsible for themselves – they no longer reside with their parents and pay entirely for their own bills.)

Prejudice, yes, but not racist. Racism describes a system of disadvantage based on race. Black people can’t be racist since we don’t stand to benefit from such a system.” Another sign peddled white stereotypes while insinuating all white people place black people in a box: “Dear white people, are you tired of your hum drum, Wonderbread existence of accidental racism and wishing you could sip on Henny out yo crunk cup without a bitch giving you the side-eye?

— Local Leaders and Residents React To Potential Marijuana Legislation Illinois Lawmakers Propose Making Recreational Marijuana Legal – Gregory Cormie
http://www.mystateline.com/news/local-leaders-and-residents-react-to-potential-marijuana-legislation/680408773
(FROM THE ARTICLE: “it’s something that get’s discussed every year and it’s a chance for people to debate the issue, look at the pro’s and con’s,” said Senator Dave Syverson. “I wouldn’t think it’s going to move at all this year,” he added. Syverson is against the implementation of the bill. He says the risks of recreational marijuana outweigh the benefits. “We have a substantial increase in driving under the influence,” said Syverson. “In fact a couple of states have said they have been giving out more tickets for people driving under the influence of marijuana than the influence of alcohol,” he added.)

ALTON DAILY NEWS
— TRAGIC: Effort Underway to Legalize All Pot – Greg Bishop
http://altondailynews.com/news/details.cfm?clientid=17&id=239859#.WNZCAxHxZZI
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Anita Bedell, executive director of Illinois Church Action on Alcohol & Addiction Problems, said, “Just because something brings in revenue doesn’t mean it’s a good idea. They’re not considering the harm, they’re not considering costs.” Proponents also say it will spur on jobs. Bedell said, “So has gambling, so has other things … there’s always going to be money in some things, but this is not a good way to have money for Illinois, and it would just cause more harm and cause more damage.” Illinois Family Institute’s David Smith opposes legalization and said there would still be a black market. “The guy on the street that’s selling the pot doesn’t have to have the brick and mortar and the overhead and the employees and the insurance, and the workman’s comp,” Smith said. Smith also dismissed proponents who say illegal marijuana is a criminal justice issue because, he said, there are a very small number of inmates in the system for drug possession only. The Illinois Association of Chiefs of Police said they oppose the bill because of the traffic safety concerns.)

Please ask them to phone me at 630-653-0462. I am considering asking the DuPage County Board to pass a resolution ASAP against the legalization of marijuana for recreational use similar to the Milton Township Republican Central Committee’s 2009 resolution against video gambling. For a sample of such a resolution, SEE: http://archive.azcentral.com/ic/pdf/resolution-opposing-legalization-marijuana.pdf I would ask all of the Republicans who represent all or part of DuPage County to endorse the resolution including U.S. Representatives Hultgren and Roskam; Governor Rauner; Lt.

http://www.wsiltv.com/story/34974887/illinois-lawmakers-consider-ending-marijuana-prohibition
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Illinois lawmakers are considering a plan to regulate and tax legal marijuana use for adults. Legislation introduced in the House and Senate Wednesday would allow adults 21 and older to purchase marijuana legally from a business licensed by the state. The Senate bill, SB 316, is sponsored by Senate Appropriations Committee Chairwoman Heather Steans (D-Chicago), while the House version, HB 2353, was presented by Rep. Kelly Cassidy (D-Chicago). “Marijuana prohibition is a quagmire that creates far more problems than it prevents,” Cassidy said. “Several states have adopted sensible alternatives to prohibition, and it is time for Illinois to develop its own exit strategy.” Each bill would make it legal to possess, grow, and purchase limited amounts of marijuana. The state would license and regulate businesses to cultivate, process, test, and sell marijuana to adults, and it would create and enforce strict health and safety regulations, such as testing and labeling requirements and restrictions on marketing. “Right now, all the money being spent on marijuana is going into the pockets of criminals and cartels,” Steans said. “In a regulated system, the money would go into the cash registers of licensed, taxpaying businesses. It would generate hundreds of millions of dollars per year in new revenue for our state.” The bills propose taxing marijuana at a rate of $50 per ounce at the wholesale level, and retail sales would be subject to the state’s standard 6.25% sales tax. Based on current usage rates and the market price of marijuana being sold for adults’ use in Colorado, the Marijuana Policy Project estimates regulated marijuana sales could generate between $349 million and $699 million per year in new revenue for Illinois.)

The elected officials also are eligible to receive medical and dental insurance through the district. Commissioner Tim Whelan is questioning whether it’s a good idea to end the practice of offering pensions. He said the pension is an incentive for commissioners “to put in the time to benefit the taxpayers.” Whelan is one of five commissioners enrolled in IMRF. The others are Redick, Marsha Murphy, Linda Painter and Al Murphy. Redick, Painter and Marsha Murphy already are eligible for an IMRF pension — and will receive it regardless of whether the district does away with the perk. Whelan and Al Murphy are not yet vested.)

NATIONAL REVIEW
— Entitlements: The Most Dangerous Addiction – DENNIS PRAGER
http://www.nationalreview.com/article/445940/entitlements-american-addiction
(FROM THE ARTICLE: All addictions – whether drug, alcohol, gambling, sexual, or cigarettes – are very hard to escape. There is one addiction, however, that might be more difficult than any other to escape – in part because it is not even regarded as an addiction. It is Entitlements Addiction, an addiction to getting something for nothing. One indication as to the power of Entitlements Addiction is that, while great numbers of people have voluntarily given up – almost always at great pain – drugs, alcohol, gambling, etc., few give up an addiction to entitlements. For the majority of able-bodied people who get cash payments, food stamps, subsidized housing, free or subsidized health insurance, and other welfare benefits, the thought of giving up any one of those and beginning to pay for them with their own earned money is as hard as giving up alcohol is to an alcoholic. Politicians know this, which is why it is close to impossible to ever reduce entitlements. And, of course, the Left knows this, which is why the Left almost always wins any debate over entitlements. Every American who is the beneficiary of an entitlement backs entitlements, and many who are not beneficiaries of entitlements would like to be. This, aside from ideology, is why the Left constantly seeks to increase entitlements: The more people receive government benefits, the more people vote left.)

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

Since 1966 when I was 18 years old, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have hinted/implied/argued/shouted a) that I owe a special debt to veterans because I avoided the draft by getting student draft deferments 1966-1970 and a financial hardship draft deferment 1970-1971, b) that if I had not avoided the draft, I would not have been able to buy a new 1968 Oldsmobile 442 in 1967, to buy a new 1969 Dodge Charger SE in 1968, to earn a bachelor’s degree in management from NIU in 1970, to buy a new 1972 Corvette in 1971, to buy a new town home in 1972, to buy a studio condo in the Outer Drive East (ODE) building in downtown Chicago in 1974, to earn an MBA from Loyola in 1976, to buy a one bedroom condo in the ODE building in 1976, to get married in 1978, etc. and c) that when it comes to patriotism, I am a hypocritical coward.)

My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes either a) have never been harmed by illegal immigration or b) benefit directly from it.)
http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2017/mar/20/cinco-de-mayo-canceled-mexicans-fear-trump-deporta/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A Cinco de Mayo celebration called El Carnaval de Puebla, held each year in Philadelphia, has just been suddenly canceled — and in short order, it’s due to President Donald Trump. Why? The normal and usual Mexican holiday participants are worried they might get deported. This is a good thing. For years, under Barack Obama, the law-abiding of the nation have watched with a wintry mix of outrage and disbelief as the nation’s illegals stood at podiums — public podiums, immigration officials be hanged — to shed tears for their entitlement rights, and demand the mean ol’ Republicans who want to deport them get in the amnesty line. Jose Antonio Vargas was probably the worse-case scenario of a face-slapping to America’s border control laws. Remember Vargas? He was the guy who penned a long-winded heart-puller in New York Times Magazine entitled, “My Life as an Undocumented Immigrant.” Was he arrested? No. Shortly after writing another piece about the plight of the illegals — to include his personal struggles in a country like America with borders — Team Obama announced the halting of deportation of those age 30 and under who met certain DREAM Act circumstances. Vargas was also the guy who called his illegal self an American — that he just didn’t “have the right papers.” Right. But he was hardly the only illegal in America, under the Obama administration, to boldly go forth as an illegal — to demand equal rights to citizens. Thousands of others took part in public events, outright outing their illegal statuses, outright casting deportation concerns to the wind. And why wouldn’t they? Obama had an open door policy at the border — an open door policy that led him, in the days before the last presidential election, to pretty much encourage those without voting rights to, well, get to the ballot boxes and vote, anyway. His message: Because who’s going to deport them? When asked in late 2016 by a member of the media if undocumented citizens, dreamers — “I call them citizens” — got in the election game and voted, would immigration officials then know their location and deport them, Obama’s response: “Not true. And the reason is first of all when you vote you are a citizen yourself. And there is not a situation where the voting rolls somehow are transferred over and people start investigating.” Go on, Obama egged. Vote. Nobody’s checking — not in my administration, anyway. Well, new administration. And now illegals across the nation seem to be getting the message that the new sheriff in the White House isn’t so blind to the borders. Typically, up to 15,000 gather in South Philadelphia each year for the Cinco de Mayo celebration. But this year? Different story, it seems. In recent times, Trump’s border control officials have arrested or detained hundreds of illegals. Why just within the last few days, 248 were detained in Pennsylvania, Delaware and West Virginia during a mass federal raid that lasted about two weeks. As such, illegals everywhere are starting to think: Hey, maybe we ought not strut about as if we’re citizens any longer. Good idea. “The group of six organizers decided to cancel unanimously,” said Edgar Ramirez, one of the Cinco de Mayo organizers, to a local NBC affiliate about the fate of the event. “Everyone is offended by the actions of ICE. They did not feel comfortable holding the event.” Ramirez’s comments were meant to be critical — were meant to demonstrate just how Trump’s crackdowns were causing undue chaos in the illegal community. But sorry, no sympathy here. For the law-abiding in America, Ramirez’s announcement is just yet another feel-good moment for the election of Trump — another chance to breathe a collective sigh of relief that the adults are back in charge and order, justice and law once again count.)

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

— DIERSEN HEADLINE: Ever-increasingly, anti-Trumps glorify and praise Mexico and its citizens. Ever-increasingly, anti-Trumps talk, write, and act like they are paid agents for Mexico. Constructively, Mexico have been war with America for many decades. The proof is that Mexico has sent many millions of its citizens into America illegally, it has kept many millions of its citizens in America illegally, and it has sent many mountains of illegal drugs into America illegally.

— Why Bernie Is the Most Popular Politician in America Sanders’ message about the ravages of runaway inequality hit home because it is true. – Les Leopold (DIERSEN: What would your superiors say that they did to fight inequality? My Democrat GAO superiors would stress 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 $18,847 pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980. My Democrat IRS superiors would stress that they did not promote me beyond GS-12, that they disallowed my education deductions, and that they disallowed my partial day per diem claims. My Democrat Post Office superiors would stress that they forced me resign in 1969 and disallowed my sick leave requests. My aforesaid Democrat superiors would stress that the aforesaid adverse actions that they took against me directly benefited their employees who were poor, and especially their poor employees who were Democrat, minority, female, younger, and/or veteran.)
