That’s the problem. – BRIAN MACKEY (DIERSEN: How much money does the State of Illinois spend on its residents who share your demographics? From what I see, the State of Illinois spends far more on its residents who are anti-Trump, anti-Protestant, anti-conservative, anti-patriotic, anti-Republican, anti-American, anti-White, anti-male, anti-older people, anti-rich people, anti-gun owners, anti-German Americans, and/or anti-those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time.)

My Democrat IRS superiors would NOT have failed/refused to promote me beyond GS-12, disallowed my education deductions in 1978, gotten rid of my mentor in 1975, and disallowed my partial day per diem claims in 1974. My Democrat Post Office superiors would NOT have forced me resign in 1969 and disallowed my sick leave requests in 1969 and 1968.)

WASHINGTON POST
— John Cox’s claim that he was raised by a ‘single mother on the South Side of Chicago’ – Glenn Kessler (DIERSEN: The higher the office that you run for, the deeper that your opponents will dig into your background.)
https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2018/08/29/john-coxs-claim-that-he-was-raised-by-single-mother-south-side-chicago/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Here’s where the story gets fuzzy. Cox frequently says he “grew up” with a single mother, struggling on the South Side of Chicago. But records show that’s not the case. His mother married a third time, to a Post Office supervisor named Thomas Cox, on May 23, 1959, according to the marriage license, which said the ceremony was performed by a minister. In other words, John Cox was not yet 4 years old when his mother was no longer single. She remarried less than 3½ years after Cox’s father left her. . .Cox’s mother was a librarian at Calumet High School on the South Side, which had a student population that was almost exclusively African American. Cox graduated from the local high school, H.L. Richards in Oak Lawn, which according to his senior-year yearbook was almost all white. . .When we asked the Cox campaign to explain these discrepancies, officials responded with a statement from Cox that he was largely raised by his mother and that his stepfather was absent and abusive. . .Cox’s older brother has died, and his other siblings did not respond to requests for comment.)

In addition, you must have at least 30 years of CSRS service.

MY FEDERAL RETIREMENT
— Social Security Benefits Lose 34% of Buying Power Since 2000, Study Shows (DIERSEN: Based on this, my Civil Service Retirement System (CSRS) pension has lost 34% of buying power since 2000. My $51,864/year CSRS pension should be $69,498/year.)
https://www.myfederalretirement.com/public/2108.cfm
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Social Security benefits have lost 34 percent of buying power since 2000, according to the 2018 Social Security Loss of Buying Power Study released this week by The Senior Citizens League, a nonpartisan senior citizen’s action group. The study’s findings represent a significant one-year loss of 4 percentage points in buying power, with the loss increasing from 30% to 34% from January 2017 to January 2018. According to the study, the loss occurred even though beneficiaries received a 2% annual cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) for 2018. The study examines the growth, since 2000, in the price of goods and services that are typical for retired and disabled households, and compares that to the growth in Social Security benefits due to annual COLAs.)

CHICAGO MAGAZINE
— Why It’s so Hard for Republicans to Win in Illinois Democrats and Republicans were once evenly matched in Illinois. So how did the Party of Lincoln fall behind in his own homeland? – EDWARD MCCLELLAND
http://www.chicagomag.com/city-life/August-2018/Why-Its-So-Hard-for-Republicans-to-Win-in-Illinois/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: It’s possible to trace the divergent fortunes of the Republican and Democratic parties in Illinois by looking at the voting histories of two counties: DuPage, in the suburbs of Chicago, and Williamson, in Southern Illinois coal country. DuPage was once a bulwark of the Illinois Republican Party, having supported its presidential candidates since the days of Abraham Lincoln. After World War II, DuPage’s villages burgeoned with middle-class homeowners who had fled Chicago’s corrupt political machine, and considered Republicans the party of good government and fiscal responsibility. . .How times have changed. In 2016, Hillary Clinton won Illinois by an even larger margin than her husband, but she won only 12 counties, most of them in the Chicago area. She won DuPage County 53%-38%, and lost Williamson County 67%-28%.)

http://www.pravdareport.com/news/russia/kremlin/29-08-2018/141468-putin_pension-0/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Russian President Vladimir Putin believes that one should introduce administrative and even criminal responsibility in Russia for dismissing employees of pre-retirement age. “I deem it necessary to introduce administrative and even criminal responsibility for employers for dismissing workers of pre-retirement age, as well as for refusing to hire citizens for work because of their age,” Putin said in a televised address to the nation in connection with the widely discussed pension reform in Russia. One should envisage such responsibility within in the framework of additional guarantees that will protect interests of older citizens on the labor market. Today, the retirement age in Russia is 60 years for men and 55 years for women. This retirement age was introduced during the 1930s. The need to raise the retirement age in Russia has been discussed for a long time already due to the increased life expectancy and the inability to provide a decent pension while the number of employed individuals in the country is decreasing, and the number of pensioners is growing. In most countries of the world, the retirement age is 60-65 years.)

— Here’s What America Thinks About The Me Too Movement Now Political views are more of a dividing line than gender. – Ariel Edwards-Levy (DIERSEN: From what I see, if voters in America, in Illinois, in DuPage County, in Milton Township, in Glen Ellyn, in Wheaton, and in my precinct were surveyed, the majority of Democrats would view members of the following groups negatively while the majority of Republicans would view members of the following groups positively: Trump supporters, Protestant, conservative, patriotic, Republican, American, White, male, older people, rich people, gun owners, German Americans, and those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time. From what I see, the majority of both Democrats and Republicans would view members of the following groups negatively: union members, former union members, federal employees, former federal employees, federal retirees, American nameplate car owners, and those who do not own dogs. From what I see, the majority of Democrats promote the following while the majority of Republicans oppose the following: dependency on government, dependency on charity, LGBTQ activity, abortion, mass/illegal immigration and open borders, booze, gambling, pot, and other vices, abolition of the First and Second Amendments, patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation.)

— Let us know politics of news employees – Kristin Kocan, Warrenville
https://www.dailyherald.com/discuss/20180827/your-responses-to-enemy-of-the-people-editorials
(FROM THE LETTER: Responding to your editorial entitled, “Not enemies, but voice of the people,” please note that Pope Francis addressed the issue of “fake news” in a message for Communications, last January. How did he describe fake news? “The term ‘fake news’ has been the object of great discussion and debate. In general, it refers to the spreading of disinformation on line or in the traditional media. It has to do with false information based on non-existent or distorted data meant to deceive and manipulate the reader. Spreading fake news can serve to advance specific goals, influence political decisions, and serve economic interests.” He goes on to say “Disinformation thus thrives on the absence of healthy confrontation with other sources of information that could effectively challenge prejudices and generate constructive dialogue …” His whole message has to do with truth. However, your editorial did not mention truth; up front, it said it is the “voice of the people.” Well, which people? Maybe on your editorial page (one of many pages), you give half time to one side of an issue, half time to the other side (maybe). But for the rest of the pages, your paper is the voice of those in your employ. What is the ratio of Democrat to Republican in your employ? What is the ratio of Trump supporters to Trump haters in your employ? Let us know, and then we can decide if your paper is an enemy of people you don’t agree with …)

Because I have always been a Republican, because I avoided the draft, and because I am not a minority or a female, my Democrat superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates in the federal government always demonized me, denigrated me, and condemned me as being wealthy. They stressed the money that I spent on new cars, education, real estate, collector cars, etc. They stressed my wife’s income. They stressed that my wife and I did not have children, we did not adopt, and we did not become foster parents. They stressed the money that we saved for our retirement. They were beyond furious when I got promoted in 1972, 1973, 1974, and 1986. They always hinted/implied/argued/shouted that because of the aforesaid, a) I did not need, nor should I be given, any promotions, b) I should be gotten rid of, and c) failing that, I should be forced to take early retirement.)

They blame me for all the problems that TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois, Wheaton Chamber of Commerce, Milton Township Republican Central Committee, Illinois Center Right Coalition, American Association of Political Consultants Midwest Chapter, etc. have had, is having, and will have.

— Quotation of the day on self-interest – Mark J. Perry (DIERSEN: QUESTION: What do you say to turncoats, traitors, defectors, deserters, and betrayers? Why do people work against their own self-interests, that is, why do people work against those who share their own demographics? ANSWER: Most commonly, it is because they see the future of those who share their demographics as being lost, and they want to curry favor with those who are getting rid of those who share their demographics. I should write a book about those in Wheaton, in Glen Ellyn, in Milton Township, in DuPage County, and in Illinois who work against those who share their own demographics. I should write about those who claim to be Trump supporters, Protestant, conservative, patriotic, and/or Republican, but who work against those like me who are Trump supporters, Protestant, conservative, patriotic, and/or Republican. I should write about those who are White, male, older, non-poor, gun owners, German American, and those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time, but who work against those like me who are White, male, older, non-poor, gun owners, German American, and those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time.)

Needless-to-say, if you are a Republican who delivers Republican literature door-to-door, you should assume that Democrats and Democrat plants, Libertarians and Libertarian plants, Greens and Green plants, RINOs, and other anti-Trumps are watching you very closely, if not recording every move that you make and recording every word that you say. In my precinct, the anti-Trumps (of whom I estimate about 30 are registered Republican voters) watch me very closely when I deliver Republican literature door-to-door and they do everything that they can to discourage me from delivering that literature. Their tactics include closing their garage doors as I approach their homes. One registered Republican voter in my precinct angrily phoned me and demanded that I immediately come back to her home and take back the Republican literature that I had just left on her door. That literature was addressed to both her and to her registered Republican husband.)

She worked for the U.S. League of Savings Institutions (https://www.investopedia.com/terms/u/u-s-league-of-savings-institutions.asp) which had quarterly meetings at luxury destinations across America which she attended as its Corporate Secretary. I routinely accompanied her on those trips. Often, after the meetings were over, we visited nearby national parks. Further, I went on vacations with a coworker to Hawaii, Mexico, Bahamas, and Jamaica while I worked for IRS 1973-1976. Needless-to-say, my envy-filled IRS and GAO Democrat superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates were beyond furious. Overwhelmingly, their spouses had little or no income.)

But that was after I recently invested $6,702 in the car – $5,228 to D&M ($3,466 labor and $1,762 parts) and $1,474 to Coker Tire for 5 Firestone Wide Oval radial tires. I had not started the car for almost 9 years. Most of D&M’s bill was for repairing major damage that ethanol had done to car’s entire fuel system. The master cylinder and four calipers were replaced, A/C was charged, carburetor was rebuilt and fuel pump replaced, minor electrical and mechanical problems were fixed, five new tires were installed, new battery was installed, etc. I could have avoided much if not all of the fuel system and brake problems if I had driven the car more – at least once each summer. But my excuse for not starting the car since 2009 is that since 2004, I have spent 10+ hours each and every day putting GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails together and sending them out.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Their increasingly combative relationship has served as a metaphor of sorts for the Republican Party: the former Vietnam POW and “proud conservative” who fell short to Barack Obama in his run for president in 2008 versus the loud draft avoider who rapidly seized control of the GOP and White House eight years later. . .Not long afterward, McCain appeared to take a shot at Trump for avoiding the draft during the Vietnam War. “One aspect of the [Vietnam] conflict by the way that I will never ever countenance is that we drafted the lowest income level of America, and the highest income level found a doctor that would say that they had a bone spur,” McCain said during an interview with CSPAN. McCain did not mention Trump by name, but his meaning appeared clear. Trump received five wartime deferments, including one in which a doctor diagnosed him with bone spurs.)

— Payment to wrong ex-wife earns Libertarian gubernatorial candidate Grayson “Kash” Jackson more time – AP
http://www.news-gazette.com/news/2018-08-24/payment-wrong-ex-wife-earns-candidate-more-time.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A child-support check sent to the wrong ex-wife has given the Libertarian candidate for Illinois governor 30 more days to rectify the late payment. The (Arlington Heights) Daily Herald reports that Grayson “Kash” Jackson of Antioch told a judge Wednesday that a third-party online child-support disbursement firm erroneously sent the $3,067 payment to his first ex-wife in North Carolina. Jackson was found in contempt of court in May for refusing to pay his second ex-wife $6,067 in back child support and other education and health care needs. He was ordered to pay the lesser purge fee to stay out of jail. Parental rights have been a key issue in Jackson’s campaign for governor. He says he is unemployed and living on disability payments from a 20-year Navy career.)

My Democrat superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates in the federal government used the money that I spend on new cars and on collector cars to demonize me, to denigrate me, and to condemn me as being undeservedly filthy rich. They especially used against me the money that I spent to buy a new 1966 Pontiac Tempest Sprint in 1966 when I was 17 years old, a new 1968 Oldsmobile 442 in 1967, a new 1969 Dodge Charger SE in 1968, a new 1972 Chevy Corvette in 1971, a 1962 Chevy Impala SS collector car in 1989, and a 1968 Dodge Charger R/T collector car in 1994.)

Setting aside funds for church or charity becomes not only possible but easy when you build generosity into your budget through the Giving account.)

Ever-increasingly, such conferences promote LGBTQ activity, mass/illegal immigration, booze, gambling, pot, and other vices. – Dave Diersen

— OUTSTANDING: Gov. Bruce Rauner vetoes immigration rights bills in Illinois’ Trump country – Rick Pearson
http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/politics/ct-met-bruce-rauner-immigration-20180824-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner used the opening of the Du Quoin State Fair on Friday to veto “bad bills” to expand rights for immigrants living in Illinois illegally as the governor tries to solidify core rural conservatives Downstate who back President Donald Trump behind his re-election. Rauner told WJPF-AM 1020 in Marion that Illinois’ high number of immigrants who lack documentation “pushes up our unemployment rate and that holds down wages in Illinois and takes jobs away from Americans. We’ve got to stand against that.” The Republican governor also said he has pushed the federal government to require electronic verification of worker residency status in the country. “We increase the penalties for employers who hire illegals rather than Americans, we can really clamp down on illegal immigration and we can lead to more jobs for Americans and higher wages,” he said. Rauner, facing a challenge from Democratic governor candidate J.B. Pritzker, has worked since the primary to try to unify conservatives unhappy with his past approval of measures that expanded abortion, immigration and gay rights. . .Rauner signed two other immigration-related measures — one prohibiting any registry programs involving people due to race or religion and another allowing skilled immigrants to more easily seek licenses for professional activities. The Republican governor called the two new laws “really minor, pretty nothing.”)

— Midterm Meddling: Tech Giants Gather to Discuss ‘Election Protection’ Strategy – Lucas Nolan (DIERSEN: According to my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes, my GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails are filled with misinformation. According to my critics/opponents, the only information that you need to know is what they tell you, no more and no less.)
https://www.breitbart.com/tech/2018/08/24/midterm-meddling-tech-giants-gather-to-discuss-election-protection-strategy/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: “As I’ve mentioned to several of you over the last few weeks, we have been looking to schedule a follow-on discussion to our industry conversation about information operations, election protection, and the work we are all doing to tackle these challenges,” wrote Gleicher. The meeting will be broken up into three parts according to Gleicher. Each company will present the efforts they have made so far in combating misinformation on their platform, then it will discuss the issues that its platform faces in fighting misinformation, and finally, the group will decide whether a meeting of each Silicon Valley tech firm should take place on a regular basis.)

— Corvettes form an American Flag at Corvettes at Carlisle 2018 patriotic display – Dan Gleiter (DIERSEN: If I were not spending 10+ hours each and every day putting GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails together and sending them out, I would be in Carlisle. I have owned a 1972 Corvette since 1971 and a 2005 Corvette since 2005.)
https://www.pennlive.com/life/2018/08/patriotic_display_corvettes_at.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: About 165 Corvettes were involved in the forming of an American flag today, including red, white, blue, silver, and Carlisle Blue Corvettes at the Corvettes at Carlisle show at the Carlisle Fairgrounds. During the grand unveiling of the Corvette flag, at the grandstand, a special salute to service of a reading/recording of “What is an American,” written by Michael Brown, was played. After the playing of Brown’s writing, on-site veterans joined together for a reaffirmation of oath. After the oath, trumpeter Willard Jackson played the service anthems of the Army, Navy, Air Force and Marines. Wesley Wong then led a parade and tribute of first responders past the grandstand stage. Wong was one of the first on-scene during the terror attacks of September 11, 2001. Corvettes at Carlisle brings together thousands of Corvette enthusiasts and Corvettes.)

https://www.abc27.com/news/local/corvettes-in-carlisle-creating-american-flag-out-of-corvettes/1393380874
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Dozens of corvettes in red, white, and blue, are parking in line to make a giant American flag. It’s an a fun tradition of the Corvettes at Carlisle show. The last time fans were able to see this was back in 2015. Over 200 Corvettes will be forming the flag this year. Organizers of the show say this is an important time to show support for the country, and the nation’s symbol. “We feel like this year it means even more,” said Mike Garland, Carlisle Events. “Over the past three years we’ve watched professional athletes take a knee, for whatever reason they want to claim as their cause, but they’re doing so during the national anthem.” “We want everyone to know that Carlisle events of central Pennsylvania company that is certainly in the military history we have here with Gettysburg and with the Army War College, and everything we stand at Carlisle, nobody is going to be taking a knee for this flag.”)

 

PRESS CORP
— AHEAD OF AUGUST 28 PRIMARY, GOOGLE CENSORS CONTENT FOR U.S. SENATE CANDIDATE DR. KELLI WARD (DIERSEN: Of course, my critics/opponents want Google to censure GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails. My critics/opponents want you to know only what they tell you, no more and no less.)
https://presscorp.org/news/ahead-of-august-28-primary-google-censors-content-for-u-s-senate-candidate-dr-kelli-ward
(FROM THE ARTICLE: After two weeks of unsuccessful petitioning and support consultations, CFO Chris Weir and President Larry Ward of Political Media, Inc. believe their agency’s efforts to promote U.S. Senate candidate Dr. Kelli Ward are being deliberately blocked by Google’s advertising department. For more than two weeks, Weir and Ward have been doing everything “by the book” to promote newly launched Kelli Ward microsite — www.MarthaMcFake.com — on the silicon giant’s advertising platform to no avail. “We’ve been placing digital ads on Google for decades and we have never seen anything like this,” says Ward. “We have been going back and forth with Google ad services for weeks seeking approval to promote MarthaMcFake.com, a single-page microsite exposing candidate Martha McSally’s fake conservatism, and they are playing games with us. With just days left until the August 28 primary for an incredibly hot and closely watched GOP Senate race, this reeks of censorship.” Political Media Chief Financial Officer Chris Weir, who has been in direct communication with Google support, says his conversations with the tech giant have been circular in nature. “They were telling me that our information didn’t match their information: our company name, our address and our EIN,” says Weir. “I was on the phone with four different people, two of which were supervisors and our campaign is still without approval despite weeks of effort and literally hours on the phone.” “The folks at Google said our accounts were reviewed manually then they said they were reviewed by a team. After that they said they were reviewed by an automated system. None of their claims were adding up,” Weir states. “We sent Google their verification form on August 7th and received neither a letter of approval nor a letter of rejection. “Political Media, Inc. is calling on Google to lift the ban on MarthaMcFake.com promotional advertising, an action that directly inhibits free speech rights and the democratic process in advance of the upcoming primary election in Arizona.)

https://www.dailyherald.com/business/20180824/thousands-of-amazon-workers-receive-food-stamps-now-sen-bernie-sanders-wants-amazon-to-pay-up
(FROM THE ARTICLE: “While Mr. Bezos is the most egregious example, the Walton family of Walmart and many other billionaire-owned profitable corporations also enrich themselves off taxpayer assistance while paying their workers poverty-level wages,” Sanders said. Representatives for Walmart did not respond to requests for comment. Bezos, who founded Amazon in 1994, has seen his net worth steadily climb in recent months as the stock market hits record highs. He is currently worth $157 billion, up from $99 billion a year ago, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index. The median Amazon worker, meanwhile, was paid $28,446 last year, according to company filings. (The federal poverty level for a family of four is currently $24,600.) Etches, of Amazon, said the company had created more than 130,000 new jobs “with highly competitive pay and full benefits” in the last year. She added that the average hourly wage for full-time workers in U.S. warehouses is more than $15 an hour, when stock and incentive bonuses are factored in. “We encourage anyone to compare our median pay and benefits to other retailers,” Etches said. The company did not say how many of its workers are part-time, but said that it hires thousands of temporary workers during peak holiday times. Amazon reported profit of $3.03 billion last year, as sales climbed 31 percent to $178 billion.)

— Lack of political power can actually make you sick – DANIEL ZINGALE (DIERSEN: How much political power do you have? My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes shout that I have no political power because I am no longer a TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois chairman, a Wheaton Chamber of Commerce Government Affairs Committee member, Milton Township Republican Central Committee (MTRCC) webmaster, Illinois Center Right Coalition Steering Committee member, or American Association of Political Consultants Midwest Chapter board member. They shout that if I had any political power, those who state that they are religious, conservative, and/or Republican would have come to my defense and I would still hold the aforesaid positions. They especially stress a) those Republican elected officials who represent/represented my precinct, b) past and present MTRCC officers, b) past and present DuPage County Republican Central Committee officers, c) past and present Illinois Republican Party (IRP) 6th Congressional District State Central Committee members, and d) past and present IRP officers, National Committeemen, and National Committeewomen.)

— WOMEN PAY MORE THAN MEN FOR MORTGAGES A new study shows that unfair pricing by gender exists across different markets. – FRANCIE DIEP (DIERSEN: My critics/opponents, their opponents, and their dupes have always hinted/implied/argued/shouted that I have always had an unfair advantage in life, not only because I am a man, but a) because I am a draft avoider, b) because I am White, c) because I am Protestant, d) because I am German American, and e) because my ancestors have been in America since 1844. Because of the aforesaid, they have always demanded that I pay the price of Affirmative Action, Diversity, and Inclusion. I should write a book about my critics/opponents, their opponents, and their dupes.)

GOVERNING
— California’s Unprecedented Plan to Tackle Fake Election News The state is launching an ambitious effort, along with tech companies, to monitor and remove disinformation on social media that could keep people from voting. – GRAHAM VYSE (DIERSEN: Democrat plants, Libertarian plants, Green plants, and RINOs in Illinois who want this in Illinois want the Illinois Republican Party (IRP), the DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and the Milton Township Republican Central Committee to dictate the content of GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails. Failing that, they want they themselves to dictate the content of GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails. At a minimum, they would prohibit links to articles that promote the traditional family, right to life, immigration, and Second Amendment planks in the IRP platform.)

DAILY CALLER
— SOUTH AFRICA SHOCKED AFTER TRUMP DINGS COUNTRY FOR SEIZING WHITE FARMERS’ LAND – Chris White (DIERSEN: Of course, anti-Whites in America what want government to seize everything that Whites own and turn it over to minorities. Anti-Whites blame Whites for all the problems that minorities have had, are having, and will have. Anti-Whites, their operatives, and their dupes especially blame Whites who are Trump supporters, Protestant, conservative, patriotic, Republican, American, male, older, rich, gun owners, German American, draft avoiders, and those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time. I should write a book about Whites in Wheaton, in Glen Ellyn, in Milton Township, in DuPage County, and in Illinois who serve as operatives or as dupes for anti-Whites. They promote hatred against those who are White, Trump supporters, Protestant, conservative, patriotic, Republican, American, male, older, rich, gun owners, German American, draft avoiders, and those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time.)
