CHICAGO SUN-TIMES
— Ald. Burke did not lose ‘legitimacy’ after FBI raid — he never had it – Editorial (DIERSEN: Who paints/painted you as not being legitimate? I should write a book about those who paint/painted me as not being a legitimate member of the media. They stress that according to the ILLINOIS SENATE MEDIA GUIDELINES FOR THE 100TH GENERAL ASSEMBLY (http://www.ilga.gov/senate/SenateMediaGuidelines.pdf), “Persons eligible to apply for a media credential must be a bona fide resident correspondent of reputable standing, giving their chief attention to the gathering and reporting of news.

DAILY HERALD
— #MeToo’s unintended consequences – Kathleen Parker (DIERSEN: Government is nasty. Politics is nasty. While I worked for the Democrats who ran GAO’s Chicago office 1980-1997, they assigned me to supervise virtually every woman that they hired after 1980. Of course, they wanted those women to charge me with sexual harassment and even worse things.)
https://www.dailyherald.com/discuss/20181206/metoos-unintended-consequences
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A recent Bloomberg News headline came as no surprise: “Wall Street Rule for the #MeToo Era: Avoid Women at All Cost.” In a word, it was inevitable. Some men are so concerned about the possible repercussions of what they might say or do that they’re steering clear of women in the workplace altogether. And as a result, according to Bloomberg, Wall Street “risks becoming more of a boy’s club, rather than less of one.”)

 

CRAIN’S CHICAGO BUSINESS
— As hard times continue for black residents, many moving away   A new CMAP analysis of census data suggests that African-Americans badly lag other groups in economic growth and are leaving metro Chicago in response. – GREG HINZ (DIERSEN: It certainly seems like those who dominate Chicago want to dump Blacks and replace them with Hispanics.)

SPRINGFIELD STATE JOURNAL REGISTER
— Bush remembered in Springfield as warm, gracious – Bernard Schoenburg (DIERSEN: How do your critics/opponents want you to be remembered? My critics/opponents want me to be remembered as someone who was a White supremacist, Nazi, KKK member, hater, racist, sexist, bigot, and even worse things. They want me to be remembered as someone who was a Trump supporter, Protestant (baptized, raised, and confirmed as a Missouri Synod Lutheran), conservative, patriotic, Republican, American, White, male, rich, gun owner, 100% German Americans, draft avoider, and someone whose ancestors had been in America since 1844. They want me to be remembered as being someone who opposed the promotion of a) dependency on government, b) dependency on charity, c) LGBTQ activity, d) abortion, e) mass/illegal immigration, f) abolition of the First and Second Amendments, g) booze, gambling, pot, and other vices, h) patronage, i) political affiliation discrimination, j) reverse discrimination, k) age discrimination, and l) retaliation. They want me to be remembered as someone who filed false and frivolous lawsuits. They want me to be remembered as someone who they could not manipulate or dominate. They want me to be remembered as someone who was not a member of a church, who did not attend church services, and who did not give money to a church. Even though there are two large cemeteries in my precinct, because so many of my critics/opponents are/were in Wheaton, I do not want to be buried in Wheaton, I want to be cremated so that they cannot urinate/defecate on my grave.)

ILLINOIS NEWS NETWORK
— Illinois seeks waiver from SNAP work requirements Congressman says waiver reform not part of farm bill – Greg Bishop (DIERSEN: What do you say to those who want “government” to provide not only “free” education, but also “free” housing, “free” food, “free” clothing, “free” healthcare, “free” transportation, and “free” everything else? Why get an education, why get a job, why save for your retirement, why etc. if “government” is going to give you everything for “free?”)

HULTGREN FUNERAL HOME
— OBITUARY: Thomas Lee “Tom” Johnson
https://www.hultgrenfh.com/obituary/tom-johnson
(FROM THE OBITUARY: Thomas Lee “Tom” Johnson, age 73, of West Chicago, went peacefully to be with his Lord on Monday, December 3, 2018, following a four-month battle with cancer. . .Tom worked hard to pattern a life of service around his personal faith, his family, and his deep-seated commitment to basic American ideals. Tom graduated from Oak Lawn Community High School (IL) in 1963. From 1966-68, Tom served in the U.S. Army, including a tour of duty in Vietnam (1967-68). Tom pursued his interest in law, receiving degrees from the University of Michigan (B.A., Political Science) in 1970 and DePaul University College of Law (J.D.) in 1974. Following law school, Tom joined the DuPage County State’s Attorney’s Office as Assistant State’s Attorney, where he became chief of the White Collar Crime Division. In 1979, he co-founded a private practice, Johnson & Westra, in Wheaton, IL. He took his first steps toward public office when he entered the 1984 race for the 14th U.S. Congressional District, campaigning door-to-door in 550 precincts, losing the race by just 776 votes. In 1993, he was elected to the Illinois House of Representatives and served the 50th District until 2003. While in the House, Tom chaired the Judiciary Committee and was co-chairman of the Illinois Prison Reform Committee. From 2011-13, Tom was the Illinois State Senator for the 48th District.)

BREITBART
— Retiring Rep. Bob Goodlatte: E-Verify Should Be Mandatory, Jobs Biggest Magnet for Illegal Immigration – Penny Starr (DIERSEN: Democrats want immigrants because immigrants vote for Democrats. RINOs want immigrants because RINOs want cheap labor. Democrats do not promise immigrants public sector jobs. Democrats promise immigrants massive welfare, massive public assistance, dependency on government, dependency on charity, LGBTQ activity, abortion, mass/illegal immigration, abolition of the First and Second Amendments, booze, gambling, pot, and other vices, patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, retaliation, and even worse things. RINOs promise immigrants bad jobs, that is, jobs like I had.)

WASHINGTON POST
— George H.W. Bush praised for respecting federal employees, supporting equitable pay His record, however, is not totally clean – Joe Davidson (DIERSEN: I was a federal employee for 12 years while Bush was Vice President and President. I worked for GAO 1981-1989 while he was Vice President and 1989-1993 while he was President. Of course, because I have always been a Republican, my Democrat GAO superiors used everything that Bush did or did not do against me. If Bush had been reelected in 1992, I might still be a GAO employee.)

WALL STREET JOURNAL
— Trump Didn’t Kill the Bush Values The opposition to traditional virtues was evident at the 1992 convention. – Daniel Henninger (DIERSEN: I should write a book about those who falsely claim to be religious, conservative, and/or Republican to give themselves standing to promote massive welfare, massive public assistance, dependency on government, dependency on charity, LGBTQ activity, abortion, mass/illegal immigration, abolition of the First and Second Amendments, booze, gambling, pot, and other vices, patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, retaliation, and even worse things.)

https://www.wsj.com/articles/state-funeral-for-president-george-h-w-bush-suggests-its-possible-to-unite-as-well-as-divide-1544048342
(FROM THE ARTICLE: There are ample grounds for skepticism. Even as this Bush moment was marked, it wasn’t possible to put aside entirely the passions and divisions of the moment. When President Trump arrived, he strode past and then sat down in the same pew as former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, who opposed him in a presidential campaign in which Mr. Trump led supporters in chanting, “Lock her up.” Mrs. Clinton sat stony-faced, staring straight ahead. . .Yet for all the talk of unity, there were no Democratic speakers at Wednesday’s service, and no handshakes between Mr. Trump and Bill and Mrs. Clinton.)

KANSAS
— Kansas House Republicans pick conservative leader – JONATHAN SHORMAN (DIERSEN: Who are the conservative leaders in your municipality, in your township/ward, in your county, and in Illinois? What do they do to defend and advance the Illinois Republican Party and Republican Party platforms, including their traditional family, right to life, immigration, Second Amendment, and equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) planks? Do they have a website and do they post to it regularly? Do they send out emails regularly? How many visit their websites and read their emails? Who visits their websites and reads their emails? What do you say to those who claim to be conservative leaders in Illinois, in DuPage County, and in Wheaton, but who a) discourage me from putting GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails together and sending them out and b) discourage everyone from reading those emails? They treat me like me and my GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails never existed. They fail/refuse to keep diersen@aol.com on their press advisory and press release lists. They do not want me a) to know about their events and other activities, b) to promote their events and other activities, c) to attend their events, and d) to report on their events and other activities.

The current president has mocked the elder Bush for his “thousand points of light” call to volunteerism, challenged his son’s legacy as president and trounced “low-energy” Jeb Bush in the Republican presidential primaries en route to office. The late President Bush called Trump a “blowhard.”)

ILLINOIS REVIEW
— ILLINOIS CONSERVATIVES DEMAND NEW IL GOP LEADERSHIP
https://www.illinoisreview.com/illinoisreview/2018/12/illinois-conservatives-call-for-new-il-gop-leadership.html

(FROM THE ARTICLE: CAROL STREAM – Despite the Illinois Republican Party meeting for the first time since a “blue tsunami” hit Illinois in the mid-term elections, no dramatic changes in leadership or strategy for 2020 emerged last Saturday – stripping all the state’s non-Democrats of any hope for substantial political recovery in the near future. The Illinois Conservative Union (ICU) (http://www.ilpac.org/) isn’t giving up on the IL GOP without a fight, however. This week, the ICU’s leadership called for the IL GOP state chairman Tim Schneider to step down. To the base of the Party – Conservatives who stand firmly on the adopted Republican Party platform – the causes of the November 6th election losses are abundantly clear, the group said in a statement.)

WASHINGTON TIMES
— New welfare numbers show sickness of America’s spirit – Cheryl K. Chumley (DIERSEN: What percent of households are “on the taxpayer dole” in your precinct, in your municipality, in your township/ward, in your county, and in Illinois?)
https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2018/dec/5/welfare-immigrant-households-drain-economy-and-spi/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The latest Census Bureau numbers find that more than seven of 10 households headed by immigrants in California, and nearly the same amount in Texas, are on the taxpayer dole. So much for the Democrat sheep who bleat that concerns of immigrant-tied drains on welfare are simply rooted in racism and hate. Government facts and figures only show these concerns to be true. According to the latest numbers from 2014, fully 63 percent of non-citizens are living off at least one welfare program. That translates into 4.68 million households.)

CONSERVATIVE NEWS DAILY
— Democrat Plans For America – Dave King
https://www.conservativedailynews.com/2018/12/democrat-plans-for-america/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The Mexican government is closing down the Tijuana immigrant encampment because of the serious and dangerous illnesses the caravan carried there, and Democrats want these people to enter the United States and spread their diseases across our nation. Venezuela’s Socialism is causing poverty and hunger to be the new norm in that formerly prosperous nation with the population experiencing a shortage of food and a deterioration of their healthcare delivery, and Democrats want to introduce Socialism to America. Democrats and the various Chambers of Commerce in America want poor people to immigrate to America and settle here to do the work they say our lower-paid citizens will no longer do, when there are many Americans, including teenagers looking for their first jobs, who can find no work for themselves because immigrants have taken all of the jobs. Democrats want to give welfare to immigrants settling here with no jobs, no skills, and no ability to speak English, while at the same time the government is unable to sufficiently help many American citizens at the bottom of the economic ladder lead comfortable lives. Despite the lying press’s assurance to Americans that the caravan contained only peaceful families, the mayor of Tijuana contradicted that assurance and told us that the caravan contained mostly young men and about ten-percent criminals. But Democrats insist that we are obligated to allow an infinite number of these people into America and settle here. America’s Democrat party has taken Barack Obama’s promise to Fundamentally Transform America to heart and is moving with all possible speed to destroy this great nation.)

Under Pritzker, the Democrats who run Illinois will drive individuals, organizations, and companies out of Illinois that are Trump supporters, Protestant, conservative, patriotic, Republican, American, White, male, older, non-poor, gun owners, German American, draft avoiders, and those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time.)

— New Cook County Assessor Fritz Kaegi cleans house of Joe Berrios workers, says change will take time – Hal Dardick (DIERSEN: Have you been the subject of a house cleaning? I worked for GAO 1980-1997. In 1981, Charles Bowsher took over GAO and ran it for the next 15 years. He focused on cleaning GAO’s house, that is, he focused on getting rid of GAO employees who were Republican, White, male, non-veteran, and/or who did not have a degree from an Ivy League university who GAO had not promoted to GS-13 (currently $96,403) by age 25, GS-14 (currently $113,920) by age 30, GS-15 (currently $134,000) by age 35, and Senior Executive Service (currently $164,200) by age 40. Notwithstanding the aforesaid, I got promoted to GS-13 in 1986 when I was 38 and survived until 1997 when I was 49. The following helped me do that: I earned job-related master’s degrees when I was 31 and 48, b) job-related professional certifications when I was 32, 41, 45, 47, and 48, and c) a job-related professional license when I was 32.)

DAILY HERALD
— VERY SAD IF NOT TRAGIC: DuPage holds historically Democratic inauguration – Robert Sanchez (DIERSEN: In Illinois, Democrat elected and appointed officials always defend and advance the Democrat Party platform more strongly than Republican elected and appointed officials defend and advance the Republican Party platform. Democrats focus on promoting dependency on government, dependency on charity, LGBTQ activity, abortion, mass/illegal immigration, abolition of the First and Second Amendments, booze, gambling, pot, and other vices, patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation.)
https://www.dailyherald.com/news/20181203/dupage-holds-historically-democratic-inauguration
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Cronin, meanwhile, delivered his third inaugural address during the county’s ceremony. “As we begin our new chapter in governing, I’m energized both by our achievements and by the challenges that lie ahead,” said Cronin, who has served as chairman since 2010. He said DuPage officials have the opportunity to work in a bipartisan manner to solve problems and draft policies “that work for those who need help the most.” “I believe we can serve as a beacon of good government in a state that sorely needs a compelling example of county government that is responsive and responsible,” Cronin said. He said he will seek compromise. “We must demonstrate what happens when leaders listen, collaborate and negotiate to arrive at thoughtful, creative solutions,” Cronin said.)

— The living have plenty to say about dying – Burt Constable
https://www.dailyherald.com/news/20181204/constable-the-living-have-plenty-to-say-about-dying
(FROM THE ARTICLE: You might not be certain whether your taxes will go down or up. But death is at an all-time high. A record 2.8 million Americans died last year, about 70,000 more than perished in 2016, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The life expectancy for Americans fell for the third year in a row, led largely by dramatic increases in suicide and drug overdoses. Life expectancy hasn’t fallen like this since the years 1915 through 1918, when World War I was killing 675,000 Americans and the flu pandemic took an estimated 670,000 more.)

DAILY SIGNAL
— Giving a Raise to All Federal Employees Makes No Sense – John York (DIERSEN: Each year that your employer did not increase your salary to offset inflation, it was another year that constructively, your employer cut your salary. In the federal government, step increases recognize the value of the work experience that you gain. According to anti-federal employees like York, federal work experience is worthless.)

https://dailycaller.com/2018/12/03/questions-google-conservative-search-results/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Is Google aware of other instances in which employees advocated for suppressing The Daily Caller or Breitbart?
[Google engineer Scott] Byer wrote in his post: “Let’s make sure that we reverse things in four years.” He seems to indicate that Google employees should take actions to make sure Donald Trump doesn’t win re-election in 2020. Is that a use of official Google communications that the company approves of? Have other Google VPs been part of internal conversations about potentially suppressing conservative media outlets, or just [engineering vice president David] Besbris? Previous reporting by the Wall Street Journal demonstrated that Google employees brainstormed ways to manipulate search results in response to President Trump’s travel ban. Can Google guarantee that there won’t be a third example of Google employees seeking to manipulate search functions for anti-Trump purposes?)

https://www.wnd.com/2018/12/memo-to-trump-stop-google-before-2020/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: While Russia is not a threat to free elections in the U.S., Google is. I know it sounds crazy. But the danger is real in 2020. We have allowed and empowered Google to become weaponized for the ultimate political dirty trick only two years from now. Google has boasted about its goal to influence opinions, values and purchases for years. It has the database. It has been granted a monopoly to use it. . .Once free speech and freedom of the press are gone, free and fair elections are no longer possible. That’s the real danger a special counsel or your new attorney general should be investigating early in 2019, if you don’t mind me suggesting. I know you’ve got so much on your agenda and face overwhelming opposition at every turn. But time is short to save free speech and the free press from those who are rigging the algorithms – against fair news coverage of your administration and, more broadly, against fair-minded independent news, which is being censored and squelched at every turn. They’ve already taken my bullhorn. Don’t let them take yours. Tell Americans about the fabulous exposé they will see in “The Creepy Line.” They will thank you for it.)

Bush was president, GAO threw me off audits of IRS, gave me unfair performance expectations and appraisals, always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes, and did not promote me beyond GS-13.

DAILY LINE
— Republicans vent frustrations after loss, and find no clear path forward – Hannah Meisel (DIERSEN: Illinois Republicans anxiously await the Illinois Republican Party (IRP) to publish a report on its December 1, 2018 State Central Committee (SCC) meeting in Bolingbrook. The meeting included reports by IRP Chairman Tim Schneider, IRP National Committeeman Richard Porter, and IRP National Committeewoman Demetra Demonte. IRP SCC members are listed at: https://illinois.gop/who-we-are/officials/. Meeting attendees included Carol Davis, Marianne DeMeritt, Jim Dodge, Diane Evertsen, Jason Helland, Babette Holder, Jeanne Ives, James Marter, Jan Shaw, Ken Shepro, and Allen Skillicorn.)

(THE FREE PART OF THE ARTICLE: The grounds of the Bolingbrook Golf Club melted from white with five-day-old snow back to its former green as day wore on Saturday during the Illinois Republican Party State Central Committeeman meeting, as those inside the Taylor ballroom pondered what went wrong for their party on Nov. 6. FROM THE ARTICLE PER CAPITOL FAX: The main takeaway from the presentation was that Republicans actually did quite well bringing out their own voters. The problem for the GOP, the presenters said, was that the Democrats did much better. Precisely 912,979 more Illinoisans voted on Nov. 6 than did when Rauner was first elected in 2014, the presenters said. Rauner only lost 61,232 votes compared with his vote total in 2014, but Pritzker gained 794,763 more votes than Gov. Pat Quinn received in 2014. It’s this gap, the presenters said, that the GOP should focus on.)

https://capitolfax.com/2018/12/03/as-expected-ives-joins-call-for-ilgop-shakeup/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Let’s circle back to Hannah Meisel’s report this morning…“We no longer have a governor to lead us, so it’s up to us and it’s up to me to lead this party forward,” [Illinois Republican Party Chairman Tim Schneider] said. “You’re never going to have to fire me. Because if I can’t do this job, I’m going to quit. But I’m not going to quit because we can win and we can achieve victory and we can do great things as an Illinois Republican Party.” It was about then that outgoing State Rep. Jeanne Ives (R-Wheaton), who narrowly lost to incumbent Gov. Bruce Rauner in the March primary running far to the right of the governor, picked up her belongings and exited the room. “I’ve got better things to do with my time to listen to that,” Ives told The Daily Line when asked why she was leaving the meeting only an hour in. * From the Illinois Conservative Union…Almost one month has passed since the November 6th midterm elections. Many have analyzed the losses suffered by the Republican Party in Illinois. To the base of the Party – Conservatives who stand firmly on the adopted Republican Party platform – the causes are abundantly clear. Party leadership made no attempt to unify the Party, failed to support good candidates and failed to effectively communicate to voters the principles of the Republican Party. Due to this failure of leadership and lack of accepting any responsibility for the losses, Illinois Conservative Union (ICU) calls for Tim Schneider to step down from his position as Chairman. “It’s obvious that some of those in Party leadership are out-of-touch with mainstream grassroots Republicans. The grassroots want leadership to support the Party platform; support candidates approved by the Party base—not those hand-picked by leadership; support and defend the Constitution of the United States and support the policies of the President”, said Babette Holder-Youngberg, Communications Director for ICU. “They [IL GOP leadership] need to know we will work with them and be a force multiplier or we will work around them, but we are the workers in the Party, from every corner of the state,” said Jeanne Ives, Senior Fellow, ICU. The group was founded by the West Suburban Patriots. It has no active political action committee, but it does have a Facebook page with 420 “likes” and several conspiracy theories.)

He had immigrated from what is now Germany in 1844 and worked in a brick factory in Chicago. I get defensive when my anti-German American anti-Lutheran critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes demonize, denigrate, and condemn Crete as always having been full of German-American Lutherans who are White supremacists, Nazis, KKK members, haters, racists, sexists, bigots, and even worse things.)

I would focus on federal employee-haters who talk and/or act like they are White supremacists, Nazis, KKK members, haters, racists, sexists, bigots, and even worse things.

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-09-21/why-politicians-want-the-u-s-to-guarantee-you-a-job-quicktake

(FROM THE ARTICLE: The vision of President Roosevelt, and of some recent proponents, is for the government to act as the employer of last resort. Teaching, child care, after-school programs, health care, elderly care and construction are among the types of jobs mentioned. More recent versions would have nonprofit groups and state and local governments act as the employers, with the federal government playing a secondary role as a provider of training. The basic idea is that every citizen would have a job at a decent-enough wage to cover housing, transportation and food. Booker’s legislation would create federally funded pilot programs in up to 15 communities. Most proposals would also provide benefits such as health care and sick leave.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: But more than one GOP source has told me over the years that while President Bush wasn’t a cheerleader for liberal affirmative action policies, you could call him a pioneer of what is now called “The Rooney Rule.” Named after Dan Rooney, the late owner of the Pittsburgh Steelers, the rule calls for the NFL to interview qualified minority candidates for coaching openings. Due to its effectiveness, the rule has formally and informally been adopted across other industries. Bush was known to be conscientious of asking for qualified minority candidates to be included for consideration to fill major roles. This was allegedly one of the ways Colin Powell went from unlikely candidate, to the first black chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.)

 

DISSENT MAGAZINE
— The New Demand for an Old Idea: Guaranteed Jobs Now The demand for genuine full employment broadens our imagination of what a federal government committed to caring for its people would look like. – David Stein and Ady Barkan (DIERSEN: I should write a book about those who demonize, denigrate, and condemn a) the federal government as being the “employer of last resort” and b) past, present, and future federal employees as being bad, lazy, stupid, the dregs of society, and even worse things. I would focus on federal employee-haters who talk and/or act like they are White supremacists, Nazis, KKK members, haters, racists, sexists, bigots, and even worse things. They want the federal government to hire and retain minorities and females so that the private sector does not have to.)
https://www.dissentmagazine.org/online_articles/job-guarantee-new-demand-old-idea-democratic-party

(FROM THE ARTICLE: There has not been this much attention for a federal job guarantee since 1978, when the Humphrey-Hawkins Full Employment Act limped across the legislative finishing line. Amid tremendous lobbying from business organizations, the bill lost its key proposal to make the federal government the employer of last resort when private employers were not up to the task.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: The company is one of 70 employers in the state that are casting themselves as “recovery friendly,” a wide-ranging term that signifies a new approach to the millions of people whose lives have been interrupted by drug and alcohol addiction. These workplaces are willing to overlook employment gaps and some brushes with police that accompany drug use. They encourage open discussion of addiction in the workplace to reduce stigma. Perhaps most significantly, they treat substance abuse and relapse as medical issues like surgery or maternity — a time for the company to support, not abandon, the employee.)

— Despite Big House Losses, G.O.P. Shows No Signs of Course Correction – Jonathan Martin
https://www.nytimes.com/2018/12/02/us/politics/republicans-midterms-house-losses.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: With a brutal finality, the extent of the Republicans’ collapse in the House came into focus last week as more races slipped away from them and their losses neared 40 seats. Yet nearly a month after the election, there has been little self-examination among Republicans about why a midterm that had seemed at least competitive became a rout. President Trump has brushed aside questions about the loss of the chamber entirely, ridiculing losing incumbents by name, while continuing to demand Congress fund a border wall despite his party losing many of their most diverse districts. Unlike their Democratic counterparts, Republicans swiftly elevated their existing slate of leaders with little debate, signaling a continuation of their existing political strategy. And neither Speaker Paul D. Ryan nor Representative Kevin McCarthy, the incoming minority leader, have stepped forward to confront why the party’s once-loyal base of suburban supporters abandoned it — and what can be done to win them back.)

— Wheaton College students claim black pro-lifer’s talk made people of color feel ‘unsafe’ – Dorothy Cummings McLean
https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/christian-college-students-claim-black-pro-lifers-talk-made-people-of-color
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Three student officials at a Christian college have alleged that an African-American speaker made other people of color feel “unheard, underrepresented, and unsafe” with his pro-life talk. Ryan Bomberger of the Radiance Foundation gave a presentation entitled “Black Lives Matter In and Out of the Womb” at the evangelical Wheaton College on November 14. He was the guest of the Wheaton College Republicans. Bomberger’s talk touched on the “hypocrisy” of the BLM leadership in announcing its solidarity with Planned Parenthood, the “leading killer of black lives.” In response to Bomberger’s interactive talk, Lauren Rowley, Wheaton’s student body president, Tyler Waaler, the student body vice-president, and Sammy Shields, the “EVP” of the college’s Community Diversity, signed an email directed to the entire college claiming that Bomberger’s talk distressed “many” people of color. “As many of you know, a special interest club hosted an event on Wednesday night titled, ‘Black Lives Matter: In and Outside the Womb.’ The speaker of this event, Ryan Bomberger, made several comments at the event that deeply troubled members of our community. His comments, surrounding the topic of race, made many students, staff, and faculty of color feel unheard, underrepresented, and unsafe on our campus,” they wrote. Without supplying any examples, Rowley, Waaler, and Shields called Bomberger’s opinions “offensive rhetoric” and suggested that they “compromised” the college’s mission. “As Student Government, we are committed to the College’s mission to promoting student programming that ‘pursues unity, embraces ethnic diversity, and practices racial reconciliation so that it will contribute to the education of whole persons,’ and therefore, felt it necessary to respond to the offensive rhetoric from the speaker at this event that compromised this mission,” they stated. Bomberger, who is a biracial African American conceived in rape and then raised in a mixed-race family, responded indignantly to the allegations, saying that Rowley, Waaler, and Shields had demonized him. He said also that many students had told him that out of the three, only Shields had attended his talk. “I would think it would be against the college’s mission to intentionally mislead students,” Bomberger wrote in response to the student leaders’ backlash against him. He noted that the student leaders had not provided any evidence for what they allege. “As typical with ‘progressivism’ one only needs to make the claim of offense without allowing people to examine the alleged ‘offense.’ The Dean of Student Engagement, Steve Ivester…praised me for the way in which I approached such heavy issues. But it seems that only some people’s opinions matter,” Bomberger wrote.)

 

NEW YORK TIMES
— NOVEMBER 22, 1991 FLASHBACK: Reaffirming Commitment, Bush Signs Rights Bill – ANDREW ROSENTHAL (DIERSEN: Of course, my Democrat GAO superiors took this as a directive to get rid of once and for all their employees who were Republican, White, male, and/or non-veteran who they had not promoted to GS-13 (currently $96,403) by age 25, GS-14 (currently $113,920) by age 30, GS-15 (currently $134,000) by age 35, and Senior Executive Service (currently $164,200) by age 40.)
https://www.nytimes.com/1991/11/22/us/reaffirming-commitment-bush-signs-rights-bill.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: President Bush today signed the 1991 Civil Rights Act, hoping to end a bruising two-year fight over job discrimination, but instead found himself embroiled in a political furor over an effort within the Administration to put a conservative interpretation on the new law. Facing protests from civil rights leaders, lawmakers from both parties and members of his Cabinet, Mr. Bush this morning moved to end the uproar caused when the White House Counsel, C. Boyden Gray, circulated a draft of a directive Wednesday night that would have ended the use of racial preferences and quotas in Federal Government hiring. That draft gave rise to reports that the President would order all Federal agencies today to phase out the use of racial preferences and quotas in hiring to underscore his opposition to affirmative action. Some political opponents and those who have voiced doubt about his commitment to civil rights suggested that Mr. Bush was trying to undo by executive action what he could not achieve in his fight with Congress over the wording in the Civil Rights Act. Disputes Flare Anew Moving quickly to try to dispel that impression, Mr. Bush this morning had his press secretary, Marlin Fitzwater, say that Mr. Gray had acted without his knowledge, and the White House called civil rights leaders who had been invited to the signing ceremony to assure them that the affirmative action regulations dating from 1965 were not being wiped out. Still, some of his critics raised doubts about whether Mr. Bush really intended to abandon Mr. Gray’s effort. And late in the day, controversy erupted again over another aspect of the formal signing statement that was made public after Mr. Bush signed the bill at a ceremony in the Rose Garden. Republican and Democratic lawmakers alike criticized a passage in the statement in which Mr. Bush endorsed a hotly debated interpretation of certain provisions of the new anti-discrimination law that gives employers the broadest discretion in citing “business necessity” to defend policies that exclude blacks, women and other minority groups from hiring. In his speech, which amounted to a highly unusual repudiation of a close aide and followed a chaotic overnight review of the proposed changes in Federal hiring practices, the President cast aside Mr. Gray’s language on affirmative action.)

That will not be true for me. Since 1997, when I was 49 years old, when my Democrat GAO superiors succeeded in forcing me to take their early retirement “offer,” I have spent far less on immediate pleasures and on other discretional items. My retirement income is only 43% of what my salary was in 1997 in today’s dollars. While you can cut/eliminate spending on immediate pleasures and on other discretionary items like I have done big time, you will still face ever-increasing non-discretionary expenses including taxes, medical, food, and housing.)

AMERICAN GREATNESS
— Limousine Liberalism Goes Mainstream – Scott Yenor and Jackson Yenor (DIERSEN: What percent of the voters in your neighborhood, in your precinct, in your municipality, in your township/ward, in your county, in Illinois, and in America are limousine liberals?)
https://www.amgreatness.com/2018/11/30/limousine-liberalism-goes-mainstream/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The new suburban problem defies the old logic of American politics, where we learned to expect the upwardly mobile to favor the lower taxes, limited government, and local control offered by the Republicans. Instead, the “suburban problem” appears to be limousine liberalism gone mainstream. In the 1970s, limousine liberals forced busing while sending their own kids to tony private schools. They willingly paid high taxes that crippled small business, among other things. Today’s limousine liberals have different policies, but signal their membership with similar hypocrisies. They define themselves by “values” more than by wealth, though they are mostly well off or, at least, better off than most. They bemoan the racism and other phobias in America while pricing the middle class and minorities out of their school districts; they drive SUVs; heat and air condition large mansions while worrying about global warming; they favor amnesty and open borders, benefit from its cheap labor, yet defer the costs elsewhere; they live family life in a pretty traditional way, but they are happy to embrace policies and mores that unwind the family for the less fortunate. Despite high levels of church attendance for themselves and their neighborhood friends, they worry that faithful Christians are sources of misogyny, homophobia, and patriarchal power, and they vote to undermine the role of faith in politics accordingly.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: 8. Highlight the chasm between legal and illegal alien entry into the United States. The Democrats conflate the categories in their lawless attempt to flood America with an unskilled, aggressive, and fairly anti-American underclass. Don’t let them get away with it. 9. Support President Trump. Don’t be swayed by snarky comments regarding his tone and style. He is fighting for you, a citizen. If he loses, you probably will, too. 10. Be proud. We live in the greatest country in the world. Fight for it.)

ILLINOIS REVIEW
— BRINKMAN: THE RISE AND DECLINE OF ILLINOIS’ ONCE-DEPENDABLE DUPAGE REPUBLICAN PARTY
https://www.illinoisreview.com/illinoisreview/2018/11/the-rise-and-decline-of-the-dupage-republican-party.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: When James “Pate” Philip left as DuPage party chair in 2003 he left it with half a million dollars. Without their long time leader the DuPage GOP quickly fragmented into the nine individual township organizations who learned to fend for themselves. The money quickly dwindled and was never replenished. Neither were these organizations created equal in their ability or resources to fend for themselves. The lasting coup of the 2010 redistricting map is that it took those districts that followed GOP organizational lines and smashed them up. Local Republican organizations long used to having one representative and one senator now suddenly had five or six in some cases. To be required to focus on too much is to focus on nothing at all. This has undone local efforts to bolster candidates. Tea Parties admirably tried to pick up some of this slack as have larger more well-heeled groups like that of Dan Proft. Tactical victories partially explain the decline, but not the broader trends. While the township organizations helped slow the decline they were not the essential force in DuPage’s rise to preeminence. How then was the county so effective at its peak? Was it all just demographics as some would argue, or purely leadership? Surely both played a role, however one feature absent over the decline of the DuPage party was its massive and systematic outreach during its peak. The county GOP sent a quarterly newsletter to each and every voter. A substantial portion of what was raised every year and at massive events (like the one where Nancy Louise met Pate) went to their distribution. These efforts helped to educate all voters and especially newer ones to see why conservative governance was essential first at the local level, then at the state level. Before they knew it, they had become reliable Republican voters!)

When asked who should lead the Illinois Republican Party, Rauner did not give a direct answer. “Well, we have a chairman, Tim Schneider and a co-chairman,” Rauner said, referring to the newly ousted Cook County Commissioner, whom he handpicked to lead the party, and conservative Lake County GOP Chairman Mark Shaw, who led a quasi-coup of the party leadership in May. “We have some wonderful elected officials who are Republicans,” the governor continued. “We have major donors and funders who are proud Republicans and I think it’s going to be an appropriate process for the Republican party to do some reflection and some discussion about where we go as a party and where we go as a state and lay out a vision for the future. Clearly, changes are needed. Clearly, improvements are needed.”)

— The Religion of Leftism – Allie Stuckey
https://townhall.com/columnists/alliestuckey/2018/11/30/the-religion-of-leftism-n2536798
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Over the last decade, America has moved drastically to the left. Not only are more people on the left than ever before, the left is further left than it’s ever been. This radical brand of progressivism has come to be known as “leftism”—an extreme yet increasingly dominant segment of the political spectrum. At the same time, America has grown more secular. According to Pew, “religious nones” are rapidly growing in number. These “nones” are most concentrated among millennials: 36% of millennials are religiously unaffiliated. Millennials happen to also be America’s most politically progressive generation. This probably isn’t a coincidence, especially since the same trends have occurred in a similar way in other parts of the world, such as Europe. While correlation doesn’t prove causation, politics and religion are so closely related that it’s hard to believe the simultaneous popularization of extreme leftism and secularism is insignificant.)

This agreement is evidence that Republicans haven’t learned from their recent election losses.)

FED SMITH
— Federal Employees Warned Not to ‘#Resist’ Trump Administration While on Duty – Ian Smith (DIERSEN: Of course, because I have always been a Republican, my Democrat superiors, Democrat supervisors, Democrat coworkers, and Democrat subordinates in the federal government always treated me like I was a member of the Republican “deep state.” They always hinted/implied/argued/shouted that I frustrated their efforts a) to hire, retain, and promote young Democrat minorities and young Democrat females and b) to make way for them by getting rid of employees who were Republican, White, male, and/or non-veteran who had not made GS-13 (currently $96,403) by age 25, GS-14 (currently $113,920) by age 30, GS-15 (currently $134,000) by age 35, and Senior Executive Service (currently $164,200) by age 40.)
https://www.fedsmith.com/2018/11/30/federal-employees-warned-not-resist-trump-administration-duty/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: One agency that gained particular attention was the Environmental Protection Agency since it was the target of numerous budget cuts by the Trump administration. FOIA lawsuits were filed seeking evidence of the existence of a “deep state” within the EPA, and the agency even was conducting its own investigation into whether employees were sending encrypted text messages after news reports surfaced saying it was taking place within the agency.)

DAILY HERALD
— FRONT PAGE TOP OF FOLD: Tollway reform rollout takes back seat to political firing brouhaha – Marni Pyke
https://www.dailyherald.com/news/20181129/tollway-reform-rollout-takes-back-seat-to-political-firing-brouhaha
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Controversy erupted at the Illinois tollway Thursday as Executive Director Liz Gorman pushed back against allegations of politically motivated “firings” and said one administrator’s exit was a cause of celebration. The blowup coincided with the agency’s rollout of new ethics procedures prepared in response to concerns about potential favoritism regarding contracts and hiring. “The tollway is a well-run, transparent organization, but we can always look for better ways and better practices,” Chairman Robert Schillerstrom said. However, Director Joseph Gomez criticized the ethics report for failing to address “what might be considered political firings.” Gomez said high-ranking managers in communications and human resources were terminated this year and told “the toll road was headed in a different direction.” “I don’t find that a good reason to fire senior members of the toll road staff,” Gomez said. “What was the ‘new direction’ at the tollway?” Gorman told Gomez, “If you’re inferring that I’m a woman and can’t handle it, I don’t appreciate it and that’s not the case.” “I don’t believe in firing people. They fire themselves,” she said. And when one department head left this spring, “I believe the building was in (unison) in singing, ‘Ding, dong, the witch is dead,'” Gorman said. At that point, Senior Assistant Attorney General Robert Lane admonished Gorman and board members that personnel discussions should occur in executive session. “I am so sorry you would think that anybody is disparaging you because of being a female,” Gomez told Gorman. “There are no political firings,” Schillerstrom clarified, adding personnel issues are handled by tollway executives, not board members.)
