— DIERSEN HEADLINE: So far, the DuPage Policy Journal has reported November 6, 2018 election results in 55 precincts of the 130 precincts in Milton Township – precincts 2, 6, 8, 10, 16, 18, 19, 23, 25, 26, 27, 32, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 43, 45, 47, 49, 50, 52, 54, 55, 56, 58, 59, 63, 65, 66, 68, 73, 74, 75, 76, 79, 80, 83, 84, 85, 87, 89, 90, 91, 92, 95, 96, 100, 106, 107, 109, and 116. There are many factors that impact election results in a precinct including the demographics of the voters in the precinct. According to my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes, Republican candidates on ballots in my Milton Township Precinct 9 would receive many more votes if they were the Republican Precinct Committeeman or if someone who they manipulate/dominate was the Republican Precinct Committeeman.)

They want me to stop sending out GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails, but failing that, they want me to stop including links in the emails to articles that promote the traditional family, right to life, immigration, Second Amendment, illegal drugs, and equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) planks in the Illinois Republican Party platform and in the Republican Party platform.)

NBC NEWS
— Help wanted: Trump needs new chief of staff for ‘the worst of times’ Analysis: If the president doesn’t empower his next top aide, he could encounter serious problems, experts say. – Jonathan Allen
https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/politics-news/wanted-trump-chief-staff-worst-times-n946146
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Experts on White House operations say Trump’s desire to run his own operation has been an impediment to him and could make the job less attractive to potential candidates. Chris Lu, who served as Cabinet secretary under President Barack Obama, told NBC News that part of the problem is that Trump hasn’t shown much willingness to let his chiefs of staff, Reince Priebus and Kelly, do their jobs. That includes managing the policy process, limiting the number decisions the president has to make, controlling access and telling him “no” when he needs to hear it. “It doesn’t seem like Trump really wants a chief of staff, and that’s just not an efficient way to run a White House — to have the president calling all the shots,” Lu said. “You don’t need a yes-man as chief of staff. That’s a recipe for disaster.”)

https://hotair.com/headlines/archives/2018/12/wild-theories-empty-seats-cpac-style-conference-maga-set/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Rather than organize around belief in the tenets of conservatism — like free markets and traditional family values — American Priority seeks to united anyone who supports American nationalism and opposes establishment elites. In practice, this means supporters of President Donald Trump.)

REAL CLEAR POLITICS
— DIERSEN HEADLINE: Michael Beckerman argues that the anti-conservatives who control the internet a) do not discriminate against conservatives and b) want conservatives to succeed. Beckerman should look into how the anti-conservatives who run the internet treat www.gopillinois.com, Dave Diersen, and his GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails. Democrats and Democrat plants, Libertarians and Libertarian plants, Greens and Green plants, and RINOs who dominate the Illinois Republican Party, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and the Milton Township Republican Central Committee want the anti-conservatives who run the internet to shut me down completely.

— John Kelly was always doomed to fail as chief of staff – DAVID B. COHEN (DIERSEN: Are/were you doomed to fail? Needless-to-say, because I have always been a Republican, I was always doomed to fail as federal employee. Nevertheless, a) I survived for almost 3 years at the Post Office 1966-1969, b) I survived for almost 9 years at IRS 1971-1980, c) I survived for almost 18 years at GAO 1980-1997, d) IRS promoted me in 1972, 1973, and 1974, and e) GAO promoted me in 1986.)

— Heather Nauert is the wrong choice for UN ambassador – HARRY J. KAZIANIS (DIERSEN: What do/did you have the right experience to do? For me, in 1980, when I was 31 years old, when I transferred from IRS to GAO, it was auditing IRS. GAO audits IRS. I had worked for IRS for almost 9 years, the last 5 1/2 years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 levels, currently $81,071-$91,880. I had passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979. I had earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976. I had almost completed the requirements for a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul. But my Democrat GAO superiors succeeded in stopping me from being assigned to audits of IRS until 1986. They treated assignments to audits of IRS to be “preferred assignments” that should only be given to GAO employees who were Democrat, minority, female, younger, and/or veteran.)

https://www.mysuburbanlife.com/2014/09/30/dupage-county-clerk-candidate-says-opponent-used-government-resources-for-campaign/aq59scb/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: During her remarks, she also said the clerk’s office gave employee Adam Johnson paid leave to try to unseat State Rep. Jeanne Ives, R-Wheaton, in this spring’s Republican primary election, for which she said the county’s personal leave policy had no provision. Kaczmarek compared the allegations against Hinds to recent lawsuits against DuPage County Sheriff John Zaruba. Several veteran deputies have claimed they were punished by Zaruba for unionizing and refusing to support the sheriff politically. One suit has been settled, but more are pending. “Prohibited political activity is a big problem in DuPage County. It impacts all of us,” she said. “Yet, this problem is so easy to fix with tougher policies, better training and a willingness to enforce laws which already exist. Our county officials have chosen to do nothing and here we are today.” Hinds did not respond to requests for comment and Paul Darrah, spokesman for the state’s attorney’s office, confirmed receipt of the complaint but said he could not speak further on the matter.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: “When Jamal Khashoggi entered the Saudi Consulate in Istanbul on Oct. 2, he didn’t know he was walking into a killing zone,” Ignatius writes. “He had become the prime target in a 21st-century information war — one that involved hacking, kidnapping and ultimately murder — waged by Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and his courtiers against dissenters. “How did a battle of ideas, triggered by Khashoggi’s outspoken journalism for The Post, become so deadly? That’s the riddle at the center of the columnist’s death.”)

GOPUSA
— How Trump can beat the deep-state coup (DIERSEN: Do/did your superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and/or subordinates view you as being a member of the deep state? Mine did while I worked for the federal government 1966-1969 and 1971-1997 a) because they were Democrats and I was a Republican; b) because I refused to help them get rid of employees because they were Republican, White, male, and/or non-veteran and 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; c) because I opposed political affiliation discrimination; d) because I opposed reverse discrimination; and e) because I opposed age discrimination. Because of the aforesaid, a) my Democrat GAO superiors forced me to retire in 1997 when I was 49 years old, gave me unfair performance expectations and appraisals, always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes, did not promote me beyond GS-13, got rid of my mentor in 1987, kept me off audits of IRS for all but 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for GAO, and forced me to take a $19,203 (26%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980; b) my Democrat IRS superiors did not promote me beyond GS-12, disallowed my education deductions in 1978, got rid of my mentor in 1975, and disallowed my partial day per diem claims in 1974; and c) my Democrat Post Office superiors forced me resign in 1969 and disallowed my sick leave requests in 1969 and 1968.)

He was beyond furious that I got almost 3 years of Civil Service Retirement System (CSRS) credit 1966-1969 while I worked for the Park Forest Post Office even though I had worked only part-time. He got the benefit reduced so that future retirees got only a pro-rated CSRS credit based on the number of hours that they worked. For example, instead of the almost 3 years of CSRS credit that I got, I would have gotten only half of that if I had worked only 20 hours a week on average.)

https://www.christianpost.com/news/pro-life-leader-accuses-wheaton-student-leaders-of-demonizing-fellow-evangelicals-after-controversy.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A black pro-life activist has hit back at the student body leaders of the Christian Wheaton College after a school-wide email positioned that a recent talk of his made students feel “unsafe” on campus. The controversy stemmed from a speech Ryan Bomberger of the The Radiance Foundation delivered at Wheaton called “Black Lives Matter, In and Out of the Womb” on November 14, which was organized by the Wheaton College Republicans. Student leaders claimed that Bomberger made several comments at the time that “deeply troubled members of the community,” making “many students, staff and faculty of color — feel unheard, and unsafe on our campus.”)

DAILY HERALD
— Here’s what individual teachers would get under Geneva school board’s offer – Susan Sarkauskas (DIERSEN: Federal employees do not get pay increases for earning job-related degrees, job-related professional certifications, or job-related professional licenses. I worked for the federal government 1966-1969 and 1971-1997. 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.)
https://www.dailyherald.com/news/20181206/heres-what-individual-teachers-would-get-under-geneva-school-boards-offer

(FROM THE ARTICLE: The report lists certified personnel from A to Z. It shows their current salaries, years with the district (“step”) and graduate-level education (“lane”). It also shows what they would be paid as their experience increases over the four years of the proposed contract. For some, it also includes a pay increase because of additional graduate education. According to the district’s calculations, individual teachers’ pay would increase, in four years, by as little as 6.56 percent to up to 44.71 percent for one individual. Actual dollar increases per person range from $4,044 over those four years to $28,796. The first figure is for a teacher who is on step 17 and does not have any graduate credits. The latter is for a teacher who is on step 16 with a master’s degree but who has now attained either a doctorate or a second master’s degree.)

— Why Employers Should Support The Expansion Of Social Security – Nancy Altman (DIERSEN: All my critics/opponents, all their operatives, and all their dupes promote age discrimination a) because they want to get rid of those who are older than they are and/or b) because they want to curry favor with those who promote age discrimination.)
https://www.forbes.com/sites/nancyaltman/2018/12/06/why-employers-should-support-the-expansion-of-social-security/#6e693f784be5
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The nation is facing a looming retirement income crisis where workers will be unable to retire and maintain their standards of living. Age discrimination laws properly prohibit employers from firing older workers simply because of their age. An expanded Social Security will provide those older workers with greater opportunity to enjoy some leisure after a lifetime of work. It will also lower employer costs, since older workers are often the most expensive, and allow younger workers to move forward in their careers. Moreover, retirees are consumers. As they age, they tend to stop saving and start spending what savings they were able to accumulate during their working years. The goods and services they purchase are essential for a strong economy. A report published a half-decade ago found that Social Security’s combined payments in 2012 resulted in the production of approximately $1.4 trillion in economic output, the creation of over 9.2 million jobs, and an increase in the tax revenues of local, state, and federal governments that exceeded $222 billion. And that was a half-decade ago. Those positive effects are substantially larger today. And an expanded Social Security would produce even greater returns.)

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.)

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.”)

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.)

— 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 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?

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.

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Trump’s relationship with the Bush family has been tense. 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.)
