— The U.S. Postal Service desperately needs a few good men and women. Maybe you? The post office’s ongoing delivery problems could open a window of opportunity for people now that it’s looking to hire. Here’s what you need to know. – Mary Mitchell
(DIERSEN: The Post Office hired me in 1966 when I was 18 years old because it could not find a qualified Democrat, minority, female, or veteran who would take the job.)
https://chicago.suntimes.com/columnists/2021/4/30/22412910/postal-service-mail-jobs
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The United States Postal Service says it’s one of the “leading employers of minorities and women. Minorities comprise 39% and women 40% of the workforce, 21% of employees are African-American; 8% are Hispanic; 8% are Asian-American/Pacific Islander, and 0.67% are American Indian or Alaska Native.” . . . So here is where the community could make a difference — if you’ve got the right stuff. The Postal Service is hiring. “This is an opportunity for those who want to work for the post office because they are hiring up to 500 city letter carriers, and these are jobs that can change lives,” Julion says. The union representative tells potential employees these jobs could help them become homeowners and be able to afford that new automobile. “These are good union jobs,” he says. Prospective mail carriers will have to pass drug tests and background checks and have a clean driving record for at least two years. “The post office has been posting jobs like mad,” Julion says. “With people retiring, there is going to be a constant flow of jobs.”)

AMERICAN THINKER
— Kinzinger: The tyranny of the reasonable – David Hale
https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2021/05/the_tyranny_of_the_reasonable.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The tyranny of the reasonable is: if you’re not “reasonable,” you don’t get a voice, and you don’t count. This is perfectly expressed in the 16th District Republican congressman, Adam Kinzinger. The dashing young Kinzinger with steely eyes and square jaw and canned, even, toned verbal delivery comes across as erudite, serious, and reasonable — a political figure who just “wants what’s best for everybody.” But nothing is farther from the truth. His cooperation with the left has for the past decade chipped away at American freedom through his decisions on Capitol Hill and eroded our liberties a bite at a time. Kinzinger cooperates and coordinates with members of the Democrat Party who have a deep allegiance to extremist ideas of open borders, redistribution of labor and wealth in the form of money from American’s paychecks, division through racial unrest and strife, and transgender tyranny in our schools and even in school bathrooms. Despite this extensive cooperation with the party of “Marx in America,” he is considered a reasonable, thoughtful political figure. So much easier to gulp down lies when told to us through a smile with even, serious tones. People like Kinzinger delivering their message do not seem like radicals or extremists. They seem reasonable. Kinzinger has learned this tactic and executed this persona with perfection, yet his allegiances are anything but reasonable. His allegiances are radical and extreme and part of what is transforming America into a debt-laden, morally bankrupt, tyrannical dictatorship that is closing the noose of tyranny around our freedoms and liberties. People who consider themselves reasonable consider Kinzinger the same, yet they don’t look deeper than Kinzinger’s surface persona. Beneath this reasonable persona is a man who has created and led our nation into a worse condition than it has ever been — deeper in debt, morally bankrupt, crime-ridden, with joblessness, rioting, racial division, and a whole host of social and economic problems.)

BELLEVILLE NEWS DEMOCRAT
— Here are 4 things you should know about redistricting in IL — and why you should care. – KELSEY LANDIS
(DIERSEN: How will Democrat gerrymandering impact you, your neighborhood, your precinct, your municipal district, your municipality, your township, your county district, your county, Illinois, and America?)
https://www.bnd.com/news/politics-government/article251004259.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: WHAT DOES REDISTRICTING MEAN FOR BLACK AND BROWN COMMUNITIES? Drawing political boundaries for racial reasons isn’t allowed under federal law. Drawing them for political purposes is, though the two often end up being the same, said Kevin Anderson, a professor at Eastern Illinois University who specializes in African-American politics. “You can’t draw a district and stuff all the white people in one area,” Anderson said, “but you can gerrymander for political reasons. You can draw districts in a weird shape to put as many Republicans in a district, as many Democrats in a district.” As a result, racial groups can still get bunched together into super-majority districts, which could be a good thing because they’d have a representative who advocates for their specific issues. But it can end up having the opposite effect because lumping racial groups together creates extremes. There may be one elected official who strongly supports gun control and criminal justice reform, and another nearby who opposes them. Neither have to answer to a diverse electorate either in terms or race or ideology, and their agendas might cancel each other out. As southwestern Illinois turns more conservative, bipartisan partnerships could become more scarce. “If you concentrate minority voters in one or two districts, yeah, they get to send their person to Springfield, but you have almost no influence in the areas around you,” Anderson said. “It becomes very difficult to build coalitions.”)

https://www.illinoistimes.com/springfield/free-capitol-news-illinois/Content?oid=13504306
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Capitol News Illinois has requested floor credentials granted to journalists from the Associated Press, the State Journal-Register and myriad other media outlets. Lawmakers have refused. . .Legislative leaders have denied access on grounds that Capitol News Illinois is affiliated with an interest group, the Illinois Press Association, which employs lobbyists. Among other things, the IPA lobbies to keep laws requiring that legal notices be printed in newspapers. It’s OK for lawmakers to moonlight as lobbyists, but reporters aren’t supposed to be tools of outfits with business before the legislature. Legislative leaders have drawn parallels between Capitol News Illinois and a defunct news arm of the Illinois Policy Institute, a conservative think tank. Lawmakers six years ago won a court fight to deny credentials for the institute’s alleged news operation. It’s a matter of consistency, Steve Brown, then spokesman for former House Speaker Michael Madigan, wrote in a 2019 letter denying credentials to Capitol News Illinois. . .”(I)t is my opinion that you and the others with Capitol News Illinois are not representatives of the press but representatives of an advocacy organization,” Brown wrote. Capitol News Illinois is a creature of the Illinois Press Foundation, a nonprofit affiliate of the Illinois Press Association. The policy institute had a similar relationship with its news arm. That’s where similarities end. For one thing, we don’t know who funds the policy institute, which doesn’t disclose donor names. We know that the Robert R. McCormick Foundation carries Capitol News Illinois, which also conducts fundraising drives familiar to any NPR fan.)

(DIERSEN: How much reparations do the Democrats want you to pay?)
https://www.nytimes.com/2021/04/30/business/racial-wealth-gap.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Elimination of the wealth gap between Black and white Americans is a stated goal of President Biden and the Democratic Party. The gulf is enormous any way you look at it. But depending on the measure you use, the chasm ranges from $54,700 a person to $280,300 a person. I believe the higher figure is the most appropriate one. That amounts to a total of $11.2 trillion — a figure that implies that incremental measures will not be sufficient to address the enormous racial wealth disparity. Those numbers are derived from data compiled in the Federal Reserve’s 2019 Survey of Consumer Finances. The survey shows that the gap in wealth between Black and white Americans at the median — the middle household in each community — was $164,100. The median Black household was worth only $24,100; the median white household, $188,200. But if we compare Black and white wealth at the mean — for the average household in each community — the difference was $840,000, a far larger sum. The average figure for Black households was $142,500; for white households, $983,400, close to $1 million.)

Further, potential employers were under tremendous pressure to hire minorities, females, and veterans. Further, I had been a government employee 1966-1969. I took the only job offer that I received; to be the Retail Sales Manager in the Chicago Heights Firestone Store. The job did not really require a college degree. Constructively, I served as the store’s salesman. Firestone’s district office hired me; the store’s manager would never have hired me. He disapproved of my avoiding the draft, my being a college graduate, my being Missouri Synod Lutheran, and my being 100% German American. He refused to let me start until I passed a 2-week probationary period working in Firestone’s Gary store. He rudely fired me when I gave him my 2-week notice in early 1971. I had accepted a job offer from Oldsmobile. But Oldsmobile withdrew that job offer saying that it had just agreed to stop hiring Whites to settle an EEOC complaint. The aforesaid directly resulted in my accepting a job offer from IRS.)

— Are we a ‘racist nation’? Who’s asking? – CLARENCE PAGE
(DIERSEN: Overwhelmingly, citizens of foreign countries who come to America are minorities. If America is a racist nation, why do so many minorities want to come to America and to stay in America? Ever-increasingly, Democrats use government a) to give minorities preference over Whites and b) to give citizens of foreign countries preference over citizens of America. Democrats have declared a Second Civil War on Republicans. Democrats see minorities and citizens of foreign countries as being their soldiers in their army to get rid of Republicans once and for all.)

CRAIN’S CHICAGO BUSINESS
— Basecamp employees bail out after CEO bans political talk. More than a dozen people say they’re resigning from the Chicago-based maker of project management systems. – JOHN PLETZ
(DIERSEN: While I worked for the Democrats who ran GAO’s Chicago office 1980-1997, my Democrat coworkers and Democrat subordinates frequently asked me questions to get me to affirm a) that I was a conservative Republican, b) that I opposed political affiliation discrimination, c) that I opposed reverse discrimination, that is, that I opposed race and gender based preference giving, d) that I opposed age discrimination, e) that I had avoided the draft, f) that I was 100% German American, g) that I was a Missouri Synod Lutheran, h) that my ancestors had been in America since 1844, h) that had lived in Crete 1948-1972 and that I had lived in Wheaton since 1978, i) that my wife had a good job, j) that my wife and I had given up trying to have children, that we did not adopt, and we did not become foster parents, k) that we had a home built in Wheaton in 1984, l) that I bought collector cars in 1989 and 1994, m) that etc. Of course, they shared my responses with my Democrat supervisors and superiors.)

MILWAUKEE INDEPENDENT
— DIERSEN HEADLINE: How long have your ancestors been in America? Even-increasingly, according to Democrats, if you are a White male Republican, the longer that your ancestors have been in America, a) the more that you have benefitted from their discrimination against minorities and against females, b) the more reparations that you should pay, and c) the more that you should pay the price of Affirmative Action, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. My critics/opponents stress that my ancestors have been in America since 1844, that I am White, that I am male, that I am Republican, that I am old (born in 1948), that I am conservative, that I was baptized, raised, and confirmed as a Missouri Synod Lutheran, that I am 100% German national origin, that I lived in Crete 1948-1972 and I have lived in Wheaton since 1978, that I avoided the draft, that my wife and I never had dependents, that I have good health, and that I am not poor. In my defense, I stress that my ancestors always lived in northeast Illinois, that they never had enough clout to discriminate against anyone even if they wanted to, that I bought a new town home in University Park in 1972, that I was a union member for almost 12 years, and that my Democrat superiors in the federal government forced me to pay the price of Affirmative Action, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion big time.)

(DIERSEN: In 1981, when I was 32 years old, I became the only licensed CPA in GAO’s Chicago office. Of course, my Democrat GAO superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates were furious about that. My qualifications for being licensed included my passing the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, my having worked for IRS for almost 9 years, my having worked for GAO for 16 months, and my passing the Certified Internal Auditor (CIA) examination on my first attempt in 1981. Few of my GAO coworkers and subordinates had taken the CPA or CIA examinations, let alone passed them, let alone passed them on their first attempt. Few of my GAO coworkers and subordinates had any work experience before GAO hired them.)

NATIONAL REVIEW
— The Inequality of ‘Equity’ Progressive racial ideology points toward a dangerous neo-segregation – CHRISTOPHER CALDWELL
(DIERSEN: What do your critics/opponents attribute your accomplishments to? First, my critics/opponents downplay/belittle my accomplishments. I earned a) a job-related bachelor’s degree when I was 21 in 1970 and job-related master’s degrees when I was 27, 31, and 48, b) job-related professional certifications when I was 30, 32, 41, 45, 47, and 48, and c) a job-related professional license when I was 32. IRS promoted me in 1972, 1973, and 1974 and GAO promoted me in 1986. Second, they hint/imply/argue/shout that whatever accomplishments that I had were because I unfairly benefitted from my being a White male. But they know full-well that if I had been a minority or a female with the aforesaid degrees, professional certifications, and professional license, IRS and GAO would have promoted me into their Senior Executive Services long before I was 40 years old.)
https://www.nationalreview.com/magazine/2021/05/17/inequality-of-equity/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: But in two ways the equity movement is radically new. First is in the categorical simplicity of its diagnosis. It views all inequality across groups as illegitimate on its face — as evidence of white racism, in fact. Second is in its tools. Equity doesn’t concern itself with more-traditional understandings of inequality — differences, say, between bosses and laborers. It is about equality for blacks, as laid out in the Civil Rights Act of 1964, and for the various groups, from immigrants to transgender people, that have come under the act’s protection in the decades since.)

— Voter turnout is low on purpose — and it has been for more than a century. Elites look down on working-class voters. – Jon Grinspan
(DIERSEN: Who has looked down on you? I should write a book about those who have looked down on me.

— JUNE 20, 1989 FLASHBACK: Carter Forces Ignore Kennedy on Platform – Robert G. Kaiser
(DIERSEN: I should write a book about Democrat plants, Libertarian plants, Green plants, Independent plants, and RINOs who falsely claim to be Republican to give themselves standing to destroy Republicans like me who support the traditional marriage/family, right to life, immigration, illegal drugs, Second Amendment, and equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) planks in the Republican Party platform.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: The drafting subcommittee voted to reject planks calling for immediate wage and price controls, an immediate $12 billion anti-recession program and restraints on imports of foreign cars and steel, among others proposed by the Kennedy supporters on the panel. . .The Carter loyalists involved in the process took the position that since their man had won the overwhelming majority of convention delegates in the state primaries and caucuses, they should write the main points of the platform. The Kennedy camp — consistent with the current position on its candidate — refused to acknowledge a Carter victory, and refused to alter any of the important positions Kennedy has taken this year. Instead, the Kennedy loyalists on the platform drafting committee offered those positions as planks in the platform, and the pro-Carter majority consistently beat them back. . .All these were embodied in proposed platform planks, and all were rejected in the drafting committee yesterday by 7-to-5 or 8-to-5 votes. The committee consists of nine pro-Carter members, five pro-Kennedy members and one neutral, but all the Carter members were not in the meeting room yesterday.)

NATIONAL LAW REVIEW
— How Do You Prove A Harassment Claim? – Eric Bachman
(DIERSEN: I should write a book about the hostile work environment that my Democrat superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates in the federal government created for federal employees who were Republican like me. I should write a book about the hostile environment that Democrat plant, Libertarian plant, Green plant, Independent plant, and RINO leaders, their operatives, and their dupes created in the Milton Township Republican Organization, Wheaton Chamber of Commerce, TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois, Illinois Center Right Coalition, and American Association of Political Consultants Midwest Chapter created for conservatives like me.)
https://www.natlawreview.com/article/how-continuing-violation-doctrine-can-help-your-employment-discrimination-case
(FROM THE ARTICLE: In a typical harassment/hostile work environment claim under Title VII of the 1964 Civil Rights Act, an employee must show that the discriminatory acts were severe or pervasive. The acts must also be based the employee’s protected characteristic (for example, gender, race, national origin, religion, disability). Petty slights and generally rude behavior will not rise to the level of an unlawful hostile work environment. A hostile work environment claim is different than other types of discrimination claims, such as failure to promote or hire, because the latter involve discrete acts that can be pinpointed to a particular date. Harassment claims, on the other hand, often involve a series of events that in the aggregate constitute a hostile work environment. Even if some of the specific acts standing alone may not be actionable as harassment, the cumulative effect of them can be.)

WASHINGTON TIMES
— Biden’s racial equity agenda targets ‘exclusionary’ single-family neighborhoods – Kery Murakami
(DIERSEN: Many in my Wheaton precinct believe that the south side of Roosevelt Road between the Prairie Path and Main Street is targeted for low-income apartment buildings.)
https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2021/apr/28/biden-racial-equity-agenda-targets-exclusionary-si/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: President Biden wants to transform the character of many American cities and suburbs by building more apartment buildings in quiet and frequently disproportionately White neighborhoods of single-family homes. The Biden administration sees remnants of America’s segregationist past in what it calls “exclusionary” zoning laws, which allow only single-family homes in large swaths of cities and suburbs. As part of a racial equity agenda the president is pursuing in his massive infrastructure plan, Mr. Biden would send federal grants to cities if they eliminate those zoning laws and allow more lower-income people, often minorities, in areas that typically have better schools and fewer social ills that plague poor, inner-city communities.)

— House passes bill to rename, revamp affirmative action policy in Illinois – Jakob Emerson
(DIERSEN: Ever-increasingly, Republican-haters give preferential treatment to members of protected groups. Protected Groups include: Democrats, Libertarians, Greens, Independents, RINOs, moderates, liberals, minorities, females, younger people, veterans, LGBTQers, disabled people, those who have less money than others, illegals, non-married people, non-gun owners, non-Christians, non-Protestants, non-Italian Americans, non-German Americans, criminals, boozers, gamblers, stoners, and those whose ancestors have not been in America for a long time.)
https://www.foxillinois.com/news/local/house-passes-bill-to-rename-revamp-affirmative-action-policy-in-illinois
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Illinois lawmakers are looking to revamp affirmative action policies in the state. Under a new bill (HB 3914), all references to affirmative action under Illinois law would be changed instead to be called “positive actions.” If signed into law, the bill would require every state agency to take positive actions they believe are necessary to combat discrimination against employees in a protected class. That means that those who are considered a protected class can be favored for job recruitment or promotions over those that aren’t. According to the bill, “’protected characteristic’ means race and any other characteristic which may be used, either directly or indirectly, to discriminate against or place at a disadvantage such persons having that characteristic.” “It would be something positive and give me, and people like me, the opportunity to have the same jobs, and equity, and housing, and access,” State Rep. Mary Flowers, D-Chicago, said. The bill passed the Illinois House on Thursday, April 22, along party lines and with Democrats in favor. It now heads to the Senate. Republicans opposed say the state’s Central Management Services is against the bill, which is the agency that ensures the other 80 state agencies are running smoothly and efficiently.)

— ‘Hate America’ Campaign Is In High Gear – Dr. Bill Donohue
(DIERSEN: I should write a book about those who promote/promoted hatred against Republicans. I would focus on those who falsely paint/painted themselves as being religious, conservative, and/or Republican and who have/had lots of religious, government, political, and/or financial clout in Illinois, DuPage County, Milton Township, and Wheaton.)
https://www.wbap.com/news/hate-america-campaign-is-in-high-gear/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The United States is beset with numerous problems, though none as serious as teaching students and workers why they should hate America. It is an intellectually dishonest game, riddled with distortions and out-and-out lies about American history, as well as tortured interpretations of current events. It is disturbing to note that the left-wing agenda is no longer confined to places like higher education and the media. No, it has been mainstreamed into the corporate world, collegiate and professional sports, and beyond. Some politicians have also embraced the “Hate America” campaign. There are three identifiable stages to this campaign. The baby boomers, who were born after World War II, came of age in the Sixties at a time of unprecedented affluence and domestic strife. The Sixties and Seventies were marked by a movement to hate America, though the agenda of the left was inchoate as compared to the stages that followed. Stage one flowered in academia and in select urban neighborhoods. College students were taught how racist and sexist our heritage is, and how imperialistic our foreign policy is. “Amerikkka,” as it was called, was the land of oppression. It did not matter that those who promoted this lie were Marxists, the masters of oppression. Parts of many urban areas, particularly on the east and west coasts, were overtaken by drug-addicted hippies who preached love while throwing Molotov cocktails at the police. Stage two was born in the Eighties. Just as the college campuses gave rise to the first installment of hatred, they were the site of the second wave. Its principal vehicle was multiculturalism. This pedagogical tool was never about teaching students to appreciate diverse cultures; rather, it was used as an ideological weapon to trash Western civilization and its Judeo-Christian heritage. Pope Benedict XVI wasn’t fooled. Multiculturalism, he observed, has led to “a peculiar Western self-hatred that is nothing short of pathological.” The distinguished historian, Arthur M. Schlesinger Jr., was more specific. “There is surely no reason for Western civilization to have guilt trips laid on it by champions of cultures based on despotism, superstition, tribalism, and fanaticism.” Multiculturalism is also about fomenting division, segregating various demographic groups, emphasizing how little we have in common. We see expressions of it today. The class of 2021 at Columbia University allows for separate “Multicultural Graduation Celebrations.” The menu includes events for Native, Asian, “Latinx” (it is not chic to have masculine and feminine identifiers, as in Latinos and Latinas, respectively), African Americans, Lavender (homosexuals and transgender persons) and FLI (first-generation, low-income students). This obviously presents a dilemma for rich gay first-generation persons of mixed ancestry, but such is life at the Ivies these days. The third stage of the “Hate America” campaign, which began in the 1990s and is now in full bloom, is grounded in critical race theory, an ideology that was crafted by racists to combat racism. It is a curious blend of Marxism (the capitalists are the oppressive class) and racism (white people are inherently racist). Its popularity is widespread, extending from the halls of government to Wall Street. The Biden administration is currently weighing strategies to implement critical race theory in the schools, making certain that no one will escape participation in the “Hate America” campaign. Where do you rank on the scale of “power and privilege?” That is what first-grade students in California are being asked. In Missouri, middle-school teachers are being asked to rate themselves on an “oppression” index. Predictably, the bad guys are white, heterosexual, English-speaking, Christian males. They oppress people. Take note of that, Oprah. The college campuses are alive with critical race theory. Michigan State University will hold a conference in May instructing white students to admit their “white privilege,” even if reared in a foster home. At Smith College, all employees were forced to undergo “antibias” training after a black student claimed she was racially profiled. It was later learned that she lied. Georgetown fired a tenured professor for simply noting that her black law students were not doing well in her classes. There is little pushback in the corporations, or on the college campuses, against the “Hate America” campaign, but there are signs that parents of elementary school students have had enough. In New York City, Megyn Kelly pulled her two children from a pricey Upper West side school. She was followed by a father who took his daughter out of an expensive Upper East side school; he made his informed letter public, sharing it with the school’s parents. A faculty member at Grace Church School in Greenwich Village recently went public with his complaints against the headmaster: He accused him of “demonizing white people for being born.” Not until more Americans object to these pernicious “Hate America” campaigns in the workplace, schools, and government will we liberate ourselves from this demonic attack on our heritage and our sensibilities. The barbarians are not at the gate—they’ve captured our culture and our institutions.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: When Aten, executive director of the Humanitarian Disaster Institute at Wheaton College, began to urge his fellow evangelicals to get vaccinated, however, things got ugly. “How’s your Monday going?” he tweeted on April 27. “Mine started with having to file a police report in response to the increasing number of threats I’m getting for encouraging white evangelicals to get vaccinated against COVID-19.” Aten, who teaches at an evangelical college and identifies as an evangelical, told Religion News Service he’d filed a report with the sheriff’s office in DuPage County, Illinois, where he lives, after getting an email claiming his work on vaccines was “punishable by death.” The email was part of a pattern of emails and calls from people angry about Aten’s work helping Christian groups and churches respond to the COVID-19 vaccine. The threats intensified after he spoke to The New York Times about the need for evangelicals to be vaccinated.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: The gorilla in the room is Breitbart. It has two problems. The first is that, while it is generally a good source, it clearly pushes its product in the conservative direction. The second is that its website is formatted like a tabloid. If you want straight news, try Just the News or One America News Network. Newsmax and Fox are generally good, but neither sticks to straight news very well. The Epoch Times or the Wall Street Journal may also suit you. You may have to search for what you want. News aggregators such as The Liberty Daily, Citizen Free Press, Populist Press, and Conservative Playlist may have what you’re looking for. Once you leave pure news, you’ll be looking at commentary. If you want all sorts of viewpoints, RealClearPolitics is without peer. You’ll find the whole spectrum there, including the insane left. You pick and choose. There are also the three commentary sites I write for: American Thinker, Townhall, and NOQReport. There are lots of others, and as you follow hyperlinks in articles on those sites, you’ll discover more than you can possibly read. Particularly good ones are The Federalist, Reason Magazine, American Greatness, Daily Wire, and American Spectator.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: America is less racist than ever, and perhaps less racist than any country in world history. The surveys show that personal attitudes are not racist, as do voting patterns that elect blacks to the highest offices, and as does the huge spike in interracial marriages.
