— Diersen asks the Milton Township Republican Central Committee (MTRCC) to
host a candidate forum for the Republican Wheaton West District City Council
candidates at its 7:00 PM Wednesday August 14, 2019 meeting at the Holiday Inn
in Carol Stream, or alternatively, during the following 2 weeks.
The Republican candidates are Edward Ahern, Jeffery Antonelli,
Angela Blatner, Dave Diersen, Nancy Harding, Mark Kmiecik, and Robert McNeily.
Diersen asks MTRCC to provide relevant information about the aforesaid
candidates to its members who represent Republican voters in Wheaton’s West
District. Those MTRCC members are Joseph Caruso, Dave Diersen, Thomas Elsner,
Arthur Grant, Ralph Hinkle, Marty Keller, John Kocinski, Robert Krzyzewski,
Michael Hinsdale, Jae Kwon, Robert Larsen, Connor McCarthy, Robert McNeily,
Ronald Menna, Elizabeth Tatro, James Ryan, Mark Thomas, and Herbert Wehling.
The goal of the candidate forum and providing information on the
candidates is to help the aforesaid Wheaton West District MTRCC members recommend
the best possible candidate to be appointed to fill the Wheaton West District
City Council vacancy.
Many Republican candidates, elected officials, and party leaders
routinely attend MTRCC meetings. I hope that the following will attend MTRCC’s
August 14 meeting: a) 6th Congressional District candidates Jeanne Ives and
Evelyn Sanguinetti; b) DuPage County Recorder candidates Ron Almiron and
Babette Holder; c) Wheaton’s mayor and City Council members; d) Illinois

Redick, Darlene Ruscitti, Timothy Whelan, and Jim Zay; f) Milton Township

LeVan, Gary Muehlfelt, David Molitor, John Monino, and Yada Nathwani; g)
Wheaton Park District officials including Michael Benard; h) School District
200 officials; and i) College of DuPage officials including Annette Corrigan,
Christine Fenne, Heidi Holan, and Frank Napolitano.
Further, I ask MTRCC to brief its members at the meeting on
actions being taken to ban the sale of pot in DuPage County’s unincorporated
areas and in Wheaton, Carol Stream, Glendale Heights, Lombard, Downers Grove,
Naperville, Warrenville, West Chicago, and the rest of the 38 municipalities in
DuPage County. – Dave Diersen http://www.gopillinois.com

weeks ago, the News-Press asked the community to weigh in on our process of
endorsing political candidates. The question was: To endorse or not to endorse?
The feedback was voluminous and passionate. Thirty-eight people wrote to say we
should stop endorsing candidates in various city, county, state and federal
races and 35 said we should continue. A common theme in most of the responses
was an appreciation for our diligence in vetting the candidates through
questionnaires, background checks and interviews. They wanted the information
to help them decide on whom should get their vote. We agree the most important
part of what we do — and we do it better than most — is going in-depth with the
candidates on the issues. Getting specific answers to and solutions for some of
our most critical issues, like water quality and the environment, affordable
and attainable housing, the mental health and opioid crisis, how to improve
education and build new schools, mean the most to people. That same information
also was vital for us in endorsing candidates.)

— Ten have applied to be appointed to fill Wheaton’s West District City
Council vacancy. If your representative on your city council resigned, what
would you want the process to fill the vacancy to include? I want the city to
issue a press release each time it receives an application to fill a vacancy.
Those press releases should not only disclose the applicant’s name, but the
completed application, resume, and all the documents that were submitted.
Residents should have the right to know not only the applicants’ names, but a)
how long they have lived in the city and in the district, b) why they want to
be appointed to fill the vacancy, c) what they believe the most important
issues are that the city needs to address, d) what their opinion is on how
those issues could be addressed, e) what their work experience is, f) what their
education is, g) what professional certifications and licenses are, and h) what
experience do they have carrying out typical city council functions: Review and
approve the annual budget; Establish long- and short-term objectives and
priorities; Oversee performance of the local public employees; Oversee
effectiveness of programs; Establish tax rates; Enter into legal contracts;
Borrow funds; Pass ordinances and resolutions; Modify the city’s charter;

CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— FRONT PAGE TOP OF FOLD WITH BIG COLOR PICTURE IN THE NAPERVILLE SUN: DuPage
committee starts discussion on allowing or banning recreational pot sales in
unincorporated areas – ALICIA FABBRE (DIERSEN: At DuPage County’s last board
meeting, I called for DuPage County to be the first country in Illinois to ban
the sale of pot. I will continue to do that at future board meetings. Please
join me.) https://www.chicagotribune.com/suburbs/naperville-sun/ct-nvs-dupage-board-recreational-pot-st-0807-20190806-6cxgufxut5d2jb2cyjkkprv4dy-story.html (FROM THE ARTICLE:
Committee members will continue discussion of the issue on Aug. 20 and could
bring a recommendation to the full county board as early as the board’s Sept.
10 meeting. Currently, DuPage County zoning follows state law for medical
marijuana facilities. Under those rules, cannabis cultivation centers must be
located at least 2,500 feet from schools, group homes and residential areas and
dispensaries cannot be closer than 1,000 feet to the same sites. If the same
standards were used, there likely would be no place to locate a dispensary or
cultivation center in any area under the county’s jurisdiction, said Sam
Tornatore, who heads the board’s development committee. “If we decided to
mirror current zoning, then essentially it’s game over,” said Tornatore, a
Roselle Republican. He and others noted the county would have to adopt less
restrictive rules than those for medical marijuana in order to allow
dispensaries or cultivation centers in unincorporated areas. State law leaves
it to municipalities and counties to decide if they want to put any
restrictions in place for recreational marijuana businesses, officials said.
“The notion of granting easier access to recreational marijuana than to medical
marijuana makes no sense,” said board member Robert Larsen, a Wheaton
Republican.)

Kip Hill and Adam Shanks http://www.spokesman.com/stories/2019/aug/06/beggs-and-wendle-in-lead-for-spokane-city-council-/ (FROM THE ARTICLE: The
race for City Council president pitted two sitting members of the council
against Wendle, who despite her lack of resume in city politics was able to
raise substantial campaign funds. Beggs, an attorney with a background in
social justice who has represented the South Hill on the council since 2016,
raced to an early lead with 10,718 votes. Wendle finished the night in second
place with 9,349 votes. Mike Fagan, who has earned a reputation as the
council’s most conservative member, sought a promotion after two terms
representing the northeast district but trailed Beggs and Wendle with 8,093.
More ballots will be counted on Wednesday. The race also featured Phillip
Tyler, former president of the Spokane chapter of the NAACP, who has been
dogged by accusations of abuse by multiple ex-wives. He came in a distant
fourth. Beggs said he was confident heading into Tuesday’s election that he
would come out on top.)

said, coaxes white supremacists from the shadows of American society.
“This is pure and simple white nationalist terrorism,” Biden said,
adding that he supports his support for adopting a federal domestic terrorism
law, a move that could give the Justice Department more avenues to investigate

white nationalism, but he didn’t apologize for his incendiary rhetoric on race,

announcement came in a late afternoon news conference in which officials
released the names of the El Paso shooting victims. They range in age from 15
to 90. There are 22 victims — 12 are male and 10 are female. Thirteen are
listed as U.S. citizens, seven are Mexican and one is German. According to the
list provided by the police, one person is ‘undetermined.’ Mexican authorities
also say the number of Mexican victims is eight. El Paso Police Chief Greg
Allen said the suspect in Saturday’s shooting purchased his gun — a 7.62
caliber rifle — legally “near his hometown in Allen” [Texas] and
drove 10 to 11 hours to El Paso. He said the suspect has been cooperative with
investigators, adding, “He volunteered most of the evidence that we’re
able to utilize at this time.” Allen said the suspect “appears to be
in a state of shock and confusion.” Mayor Margo, a Republican,
acknowledged some of the tensions surrounding the planned visit by Trump.)

New Jersey. Back in 1986, Bruno was not rehired by the Westfield School
District in Jersey for reasons that included “an incident with a black
student,” “the man himself,” and “lack of professionalism,” the Westfield
Leader newspaper reported at the time. Recent online conversations surrounding
the June 5, 1986 article on a neighborhood chat site, Glen Ellyn Forum, caught
the attention of village resident Jeff Cooper; he challenged Bruno during the
public comment period at the July 15 school board meeting. “The newspaper
didn’t go into any details about the incident, so I told him we need clarity on
this,” Cooper told the DuPage Policy Journal. “We need to know what happened.”
Cooper also asked Bruno if he told the University of Illinois, where he is
currently a professor of labor and employment relations, about the incident
when the university was considering hiring him. He then asked Bruno to step
down as president of the board until it becomes clear what happened.)

— Advice to the College-Bound from the Old, White Professor – Abraham H.
Miller https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2019/08/advice_to_the_collegebound_from_the_old_white_professor.html (FROM THE ARTICLE:
Nearly all college experiences begin with a series of orientation sessions.
Most start with the assumption that you are the cursed offspring of a flawed
society. You come to college not to be educated but to be reeducated. You have
imbibed of racism, sexism, and homophobia. And for some outrageous amount of
tuition that will send many of you into perpetual debt, the modern-day Gletkins
of academia will purge you of these impure thoughts. The brainwashing will
begin in orientation but will not end there. If you live in a dormitory, there
will be required sensitivity sessions run by minions from the office of
residence life. These generally are graduate students who are shouldering the
intellectual rigors of a degree in education administration. The aim of these
sessions, which are reminiscent of those imposed on Soviet factory workers to
remove their “mechanistic thinking,” is to reeducate you to rid yourself of the
values your parents taught you. Many of you, irrespective of discipline, will
be compelled to complete a multicultural requirement. These courses are
compulsory because otherwise no rational person would sit through them. Your multicultural
requirement might be taken in African-American studies where, being a white
person, you will learn that only whites, by definition, can be racists and all
whites are racists. The evils of slavery will be pounded into you, even though
your ancestors probably not only didn’t own slaves, but they also came to these
shores long after slavery was abolished. Nonetheless, your skin color makes you
guilty. But invoke a stereotype about black people based on their high crime
and recidivism rate, and you will be admonished that to brush all black people
with a single brush — especially without context — is racist. To characterize
all white people as racists, however, is not a stereotype but an intellectual
incision. You will learn that there is such a thing as “true truth.” This is
the shared reality of an “oppressed” group whose common belief makes something
true. Or in the profound words of Alexandria Octavio-Cortez, you can have moral
truth without factual truth — whatever that means. In these classes, you will
never say that the trans-Atlantic slave trade was the product of Africans who
shifted the trans-Saharan slave trade westward. You will never point out that
two African potentates, King Tegesibu of Dahomey and King Alvare of the Congo,
were among the wealthiest men in the known world, having gotten rich by selling
slaves. It is not that the administration doesn’t know what goes on in these
classes, but to intercede would result in charges of racism and violation of
so-called academic freedom. If you complain, your grade will crash to the
floor. In gender studies, remember there are more than two genders. Never, ever
say you can’t change your DNA. Women are equal to men in every way, and biology
is not destiny. All apparent biological differences are really a function of
culture. After all, we live in a world where trans-women should be able to get
abortions. All genders and races should be in all the professions in proportion
to their distribution in the population is the current dogma. Any departure
from that is a function of cultural oppression. The fact that Asians
disproportionately dominate math and science classes is a function of some
cultural flaw. Only on the athletic field does pure competition exist. If you
regurgitate this view of the world, apologize for being white, and check your
white male privilege, you will do fine. Do these classes change attitudes? Yes,
but not as the intellectual Gletkins think.)

thousands more have inadequate journalism. At the next recession, the collapse

disintegration of community journalism leads to greater polarization, lower
voter turnout, more pollution, less government accountability and less trust.
This problem is not going to be solved by a new phone app or an increase of a
few pennies in digital ad rates. It’s time to try something dramatically
different. The local media ecosystem of the future must have a much bigger role

Remove college graduation dates, except in cases of a newly minted degree or
certificate. Melnik said she has no issue with the inconsistency of showing a
recent date with a new degree and omitting an old one. . .Avoid phrases that
needlessly date you, like “30+ years of experience.” Use “20+ years of
experience” instead (25+ max). This makes your point without highlighting your
advanced age. . .Replace an AOL or Hotmail email address with one from Gmail.)

— Lied on your resume to get a job? 1 in 10 say – Jake Richardson https://www.theladders.com/career-advice/lied-on-your-resume-to-get-a-job-1-in-10-say (FROM THE ARTICLE: Have
you ever lied on your resume, in an application, or during an interview to get
a job? Some of the common resume lies are about academic degrees, age,
technical abilities and criminal records. In interviews, people tend to tell
lies related to salaries, references, and complete work history. Getting caught
lying can be grounds for firing and yet many people take these risks. . .A
report from 2017 stated that 85% of job applicants were caught by employers
using some form of dishonesty. So, perhaps tech workers are more honest than
some other types of employees.)
GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— What kind of experience do you want your city council member to have? The
following are typical city council functions (SEE: https://www.nlc.org/city-councils)

Regulate land use through zoning laws; Regulate business activity through
licensing and regulations; Regulate public health and safety; Exercise the
power of eminent domain; Communicate policies and programs to residents;

GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— At its August 5, 2019 meeting, Wheaton’s City Council is scheduled a) to vote
on “a resolution and draft ordinance relating to a text amendment to
zoning ordinance prohibiting cannabis business establishments in any zoning
district” and b) to set “August 26 as the Public Hearing date.”

and https://www.wheaton.il.us/AgendaCenter/ViewFile/Item/4222?fileID=6785) If
you are a Wheaton resident, please join me in urging the Wheaton City Council
to vote yes on the resolution and ordinance to ban the sale of pot in Wheaton.

— 5:00 PM, Tuesday, August 6, 2019, is the filing deadline for applications to
be appointed to fill Wheaton’s West District City Council vacancy. Sadly,
Wheaton’s policy is to not disclose the names of the applicants or information
about them, but instead, just the number of applications received. So far,
Wheaton has received 30 requests for applications, 4 complete applications, and
1 incomplete application. So far, to my knowledge, none of the applicants has
publicly announced that they have filed. Because of that, I will be filing. In
my opinion, not only Wheaton’s West District residents, but all of Wheaton’s
residents should know who the applicants are before the filing deadline. If you
become aware of someone who has filed or will file, please ask him/her to issue
a press release and to include diersen@aol.com in the press release list. – Dave

ILLINOIS REPUBLICAN PARTY
— ILGOP Chairman Calls on Sen. Tom Cullerton to Resign Immediately The
Democrat State Senator was indicted today on 41 counts of embezzlement,
conspiracy, and making false statements It was reported today by the Chicago
Tribune that Democrat State Senator Tom Cullerton has been indicted by federal
prosecutors. Illinois Republican Party Chairman, Tim Schneider, responded with
the following statement: “The criminal activity of Sen. Tom Cullerton brought
to light by federal investigators is appalling. For too long, Illinoisans have
been hurt by self-serving and self-dealing politicians. Sen. Cullerton is just
another example of the insider class that makes money off their government
positions and sticks taxpayers with the bill. Cullerton has betrayed the trust
of the voters of his district and citizens of this state. He should do the
right thing and resign immediately.” https://illinois.gop/category/news/
CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— AS THE DEMOCRAT PARTY’S STRANGLEHOLD ON ILLINOIS, ON COOK COUNTY, AND ON
CHICAGO TIGHTENS: Meet the people working to kick Chicago out of Illinois –
Cindy Dampier (DIERSEN: Ever-increasingly, the Democrats who run Illinois, Cook
County, and Chicago make it clear that they want each and every individual,
organization, and company that is a Trump supporter, Protestant, conservative,
patriotic, Republican, American, White, male, older, rich, gun owner, German
American, draft avoider, and/or those whose ancestors have been in America for
a long time TO LEAVE ILLINOIS.) https://www.chicagotribune.com/lifestyles/ct-life-illinois-state-secession-movement-0801-20190801-iesnu74ogvfjxfk35sn72lq7ya-story.html (FROM THE ARTICLE: Over
the past two years, the movement to divide the state of Illinois into two
states — Cook County in one, the other 101 counties in the other — has been
gaining support. In February, as Gov. J.B. Pritzker was pursuing an agenda for
Illinois that included new tax and abortion policies, Halbrook refiled a
resolution in the state legislature, HR 101, in which he and six co-sponsors
asked the U.S. Congress to recognize Chicago as the 51st state. “I hear it a
lot from my constituents, that we need to be separate from Chicago,” Halbrook
says. “I thought yep, this is what we need to do.” The resolution, which could
be dismissed as simple political maneuvering — plays big at home, but has scant
chance of seeing daylight in the legislature — is also backed by several
grassroots groups agitating for separation. One of them, Illinois Separation,
founded by Collin Cliburn, of Athens, has 24,000 followers on Facebook, and
growing. Cliburn is also holding events at venues from wineries and gun shops
to community centers around the state through August and September to
capitalize on the cause’s momentum.)
CHICAGO SUN-TIMES
— Pritzker vows to ‘root’ out parents scamming system for college financial
aid for their kids: ‘Shame on you’ “If people are defrauding the system, these
wealthy parents are literally committing fraud here,” the governor said. “We
need to go find them, root it out and make sure that those dollars go to the
right people.” – Tina Sfondeles (DIERSEN: How much debt did/could your parents
take on to pay for your college expenses? I never expected my outstanding
parents to take on any debt to pay for my college expenses. My father fought
type 1 diabetes from age 14, he was the first of his ancestors to earn a high
school diploma, he never attended college, he worked in the office of a nasty
chemical plant, he almost always worked second jobs to pay the family’s bills,
and he did not buy a new car until he was 45 and it was a bottom of the line
Chevy. My mother never attended high school.) https://chicago.suntimes.com/2019/7/31/20749204/pritzker-vows-investigate-parents-scamming-system-fraud-financial-aid-college-shame
— HARDCOPY ARTICLE TITLE: ‘She won’t take my calls’ Since taking office May 20, Lightfoot has not
returned Wilson’s calls, he said. Instead, Lightfoot sent him a text saying
she’s ‘too busy running the city to call me back.’ (DIERSEN: In politics, to
not return a constituent’s phone call is to dump that constituent. I should write
a book about past and present politicians a) who have represented me at the
federal, state, county, township, and local levels and b) who have not returned
my phone calls.) https://chicago.suntimes.com/city-hall/2019/7/31/20749270/lori-lightfoot-willie-wilson-aldermen-reparations-ordinance

— Meet Candace Moore, Chicago’s First-Ever Chief Equity Officer – Daniel
Tucker (DIERSEN: Of course, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their
dupes will shout at Moore that a) IRS hired me in Chicago in 1971 and promoted
me in 1972, 1973, and 1974 and b) GAO hired me in Chicago in 1980 and promoted
me in 1986 BECAUSE I AM A WHITE MALE. In fact, a) IRS hired me because it could
not find a qualified Democrat, minority, female, or veteran who would take the
job and b) GAO hired me because it could not find a qualified Democrat,
minority, female, younger person, or veteran who would take the job.) https://www.wbez.org/shows/morning-shift/meet-chicagos-firstever-chief-equity-officer/52cff8b0-39c5-4492-b5f4-5fd60936dba4

FEDERALIST
— Baltimore’s Homicide Rate Is So High, Residents Could Claim U.S. Asylum If
They Weren’t Americans People have long misrepresented Baltimore, but much of
what President Trump said this past weekend about my cherished hometown was
right on the nose. – Ellie Bufkin (DIERSEN: Constructively, ever-increasingly,
Republican-hating Cook County residents, and especially Republican-hating
Chicago residents, have been claiming and getting asylum in Republican DuPage
County. Ultimately, that will turn DuPage County into Baltimore.) https://thefederalist.com/2019/08/01/baltimores-homicide-rate-high-residents-claim-u-s-asylum-werent-americans/

ILLINOIS emails to parrot left-wing talking points: those who a) reject planks
in the Republican Party platform and/or the Illinois Republican Party platform
and work against those like me who support those planks, b) reject the Milton
Township Republican Central Committee resolution against video gambling and
work against those like me who support that resolution, c) focus on destroying
those like me who they cannot manipulate/dominate, d) were defendants in
lawsuits that I have filed, and/or e) are operatives or dupes for the
aforesaid.) https://pjmedia.com/trending/ann-arbor-could-fine-conservatives-500-per-day-for-not-parroting-left-wing-talking-points/

— DIERSEN HEADLINE: The GOP has declined in California a) because of
mass/illegal immigration and b) Democrat success in getting immigrants and
everyone else to hate individuals, hate organizations, hate companies, hate
governments, and hate countries that are Trump supporters, Protestant,
conservative, patriotic, Republican, American, White, male, older, rich, gun
owners, German American, and those whose ancestors have been in America for a

— The College Financial-Aid Guardianship Loophole and the Woman Who Thought It
Up Lora Georgieva owns consulting firm in Illinois; U.S. Education Department
says it will move to stop her actions – Douglas Belkin (DIERSEN: How much debt
did/could your parents take on to pay for your college expenses? I never
expected my outstanding parents to take on any debt to pay for my college
expenses. My father fought type 1 diabetes from age 14, he was the first of his
ancestors to earn a high school diploma, he never attended college, he worked
in the office of a nasty chemical plant, he almost always worked second jobs to

college consultant who developed a strategy to help wealthy clients access
scholarships designed for the poor said she came up with the idea after seeing
how much debt parents were taking on to send their children to college. Lora
Georgieva, owner of a consulting company called Destination College, said she
has been explaining to families for the past two years that if they legally
transferred the guardianship of their college-bound children to a friend or
family member, the teens would be considered independent for the purposes of
financial aid. That means they wouldn’t have to declare their parents’ income
or assets, making it possible for them to collect state, federal and college
scholarships reserved for students from poor families. The strategy was the
topic of a Page One article Tuesday in The Wall Street Journal. Ms. Georgieva
hadn’t responded to requests for comment for that article, but subsequently
spoke Tuesday night with a Journal reporter about her operation. The U.S.
Education Department condemned Ms. Georgieva’s actions and said it was moving
to stop them.)
