DAILY HERALD
— Car fee, tax would wipe out graduated tax plan’s savings for many in Illinois – Jake Griffin (DIERSEN: While I own seven vehicles, I drive them very little because I spend 10+ hours each and every day putting GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails together and sending them out. Only one of the seven is over 25 years old. Six times $50 is $300.) 
https://www.dailyherald.com/news/20190605/car-fee-tax-would-wipe-out-graduated-tax-plans-savings-for-many-in-illinois
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The average Illinois car owner would pay an extra $50 a year to register it and about $95 more annually to gas it up. The motor fuel tax hike would go into effect July 1, but the registration fee increase wouldn’t happen until the first of the year. Money generated by the increases would pay for road construction and other public works projects throughout the state, which Pritzker and other backers say are long overdue and will create jobs. The fees also include a 6% daily and 9% monthly tax on parking in garages and lots, a $1 increase in the per-pack cigarette tax to $2.98 and changes in the tax structure for online purchases.)

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-says-honored-serve-vietnam-war-us-military-medical-deferment-bone-spurs-piers-morgan/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Mr. Trump’s medical deferment from the draft came up repeatedly during his campaign for the White House in 2015 and 2016, and has resurfaced as a talking point among his Democratic challengers ahead of the coming election in 2020. South Bend, Indiana Mayor Pete Buttigieg accused President Trump last month of using his “privileged status to fake a disability” to dodge the draft during the Vietnam War. “This is somebody, who I think it is fairly obvious to most of us, took advantage of the fact that he was a child of multimillionaire in order to pretend to be disabled so that somebody could go to war in his place,” Buttigieg said of Mr. Trump. During the presidential campaign in July 2015, the Trump campaign said Mr. Trump had a “medical deferment for bone spurs on both heels of his feet.” The statement also said that Mr. Trump entered the military draft lottery and had received number 356 out of 365. “When the draft occurred, they never got near his number, and he was therefore exempt from serving in the military,” the Trump campaign said in a statement at the time. “Although he was not a fan of the Vietnam War, yet another disaster for our country, had his draft number been selected he would have proudly served and he is tremendously grateful to all those who did.” In a C-SPAN interview in October 2017, the late Sen. John McCain took a swipe at Mr. Trump over the deferment, saying it was “wrong” for him to have claimed to have bone spurs to avoid military service.)

May 29 Evening Edition

GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— UPDATE: The proposed Starbucks at the southeast corner of Roosevelt Road and Warrenville Road in my Wheaton precinct is off. I spoke with the property’s owner Ron Dell this afternoon. He said he was going to attend the Wheaton City Counsel Planning Session yesterday evening, but a major delay at O’Hare Airport prevented him from doing that. He said that Starbucks withdrew its proposal 2 weeks ago. Also, Wheaton has posted a video of the session at: https://www.wheaton.il.us/AgendaCenter – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com
(MY ARTICLE THIS MORNING: About 120 Wheaton residents attended a 2 1/2 hour Wheaton City Council Planning Session Tuesday evening, May 28, 2019. 28 of those 120 voiced their concerns about Wheaton’s East Roosevelt Road Corridor Market Study/Comprehensive Plan Amendment. 13 of those 28 are registered voters in my precinct. Most of the comments concerned the impact that proposed changes would have on homeowners immediately south and north of Roosevelt Road, traffic congestion, affordable housing, public housing, the proposed Starbucks at the southeast corner of Roosevelt Road and Warrenville Road, flooding, the school crossing at Warrenville Road and Park Avenue, protecting historic buildings on Roosevelt Road, and Wheaton not individually notifying homeowners immediately north and south of Roosevelt Road of the session. My precinct includes the south side of Roosevelt Road between Carlton and Main Streets. For more information on the market study and plan amendment, SEE: https://www.wheaton.il.us/AgendaCenter/ViewFile/Agenda/_05282019-1184. I included a link to the notice of the session in my May 26, 2019 GOPUSA ILLINOIS evening edition email (https://gopillinois.com/uncategorized/may-26-evening-edition-3/). I included link to an online petition against the market study and plan amendment (https://www.thepetitionsite.com/981/324/570/stop-the-roosevelt-road-corridor-redevelopment-plan/) in my May 23, 2019 GOPUSA ILLINOIS evening edition email (https://gopillinois.com/uncategorized/may-23-evening-edition-3/). I included my comment that “A Starbucks is planned for the southeast corner of Roosevelt Road and Warrenville Road in my precinct” in my March 10, 2019 GOPUSA ILLINOIS morning edition email (https://gopillinois.com/uncategorized/march-10-morning-edition-4/). Sadly, many of those in my precinct who oppose the market study and plan amendment automatically assume that I completely support the market study and plan amendment a) because I am a conservative Republican Precinct Committeeman who supports Trump and b) because Ron Dell, the owner of the property at the southeast corner of Roosevelt and Warrenville, has allowed me to display 4X4 “Vote Republican’ signs on his building prior to elections for many years. Consequently, many of those in my precinct who oppose the market study and plan amendment have kept me “out of the loop” to put it politely. My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have always discouraged voters in my precinct from reading my GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails. I look forward to reading the minutes of the session and watching the video of the session when they are posted on the city’s website.)

— Like all these video gambling businesses? Wait until pot is legalized – Editorial (DIERSEN: Needless-to-say, every municipality, every township/ward, every county, and every state in America should discourage pot usage. The Wheaton City Council is seeking applicants for city’s vacant North District City Council position. Applicants are asked to submit a statement identifying the three most important issues that they believe the city needs to address in the next two years as well as their opinion on how those issues could be addressed. Needless-to-say, applicants should state that discouraging pot usage is one of Wheaton’s most important issues and that Wheaton should do everything that it can to discourage pot usage. Applicants should state in no uncertain terms that they will vote against legalizing the sale of pot in Wheaton.)

CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— RNC chair comes to Chicago
https://www.chicagotribune.com/politics/ct-met-lightfoot-pension-emanuel-dealmaking-rnc-20190509-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Ronna McDaniel, head of the Republican National Committee, will be in Chicago June 6 for a fundraising luncheon, according to an invitation sent out by the Illinois Republican Party and obtained by the Tribune. Ticket prices for the state party fundraiser range from $150 to a $5,000 sponsorship. The event is being hosted by Cubs co-owner and RNC Finance Chair Todd Ricketts, Demetra DeMonte, an RNC National Committeewoman, Richard Porter, an RNC Committeeman and Tim Schneider, chair of the state Republican party. Honorary co-chairs include: Illinois House Republican Leader Jim Durkin, Illinois Senate Republican Leader Bill Brady and members of Illinois’ Republican Congressional delegation including U.S. Rep. Mike Bost, Murphysboro, U.S. Rep. Rodney Davis, of Taylorsville, U.S. Rep. Adam Kinzinger, of Channahon, U.S. Rep. Darin Lahood, of Peoria, and U.S. Rep. John Shimkus, of Collinsville. In Illinois, the GOP has its work cut out for it after the mid-terms saw a blue wave sweep Democrats into suburban and exurban Republican strongholds. Local congressional races offer a closer look: Democrats Lauren Underwood of Naperville unseated GOP incumbent U.S. Rep. Randy Hultgren while Sean Casten, of Downers Grove, beat longtime congressman Peter Roskam.)

— White House imposes new rules on reporters’ credentials, raising concerns about access – Paul Farhi (DIERSEN: I should write a book about the times since 2000 when my GOPUSA credentials have constructively or literally revoked by activists, candidates, elected officials, and party leaders who claim to be religious, conservative, and/or Republican.) 
https://www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/style/white-house-imposes-new-rules-on-reporters-credentials-raising-concerns-about-access/2019/05/08/793dc404-71dd-11e9-9eb4-0828f5389013_story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The White House hasn’t spelled out how it will make these decisions, raising concerns about arbitrary or selective decisions. (The Washington Post’s seven White House reporters have all been granted exemptions). The White House last year revoked the hard pass of CNN reporter Jim Acosta after Acosta engaged in a heated exchange with Trump during a White House news briefing. After a brief legal fight, a federal court ordered the White House to restore Acosta’s access. The court said Acosta’s due-process rights had been violated because the White House had never established rules and procedures for revoking a credential. But Sanders said the new policy was unrelated to Acosta’s case. Acosta continues to hold a hard pass. In an opinion piece published Wednesday, Post columnist Dana Milbank wrote that he was denied a hard pass, although the paper’s reporters who cover the White House were all granted exemptions. “The White House press office granted exceptions to the [others], but not to me,” he wrote. “I strongly suspect it’s because I’m a Trump critic. The move is perfectly in line with Trump’s banning of certain news organizations, including The Post, from his campaign events, and his threats to revoke White House credentials of journalists he doesn’t like.” The White House Correspondents’ Association, which represents journalists on access issues, was consulted about the new policy, according to Sanders. The organization’s president, Olivier Knox, declined to comment.)

— Why older workers are ideal employees – ALESSANDRA Malito
https://www.marketwatch.com/story/why-older-workers-are-ideal-employees-2019-04-15
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Ageism is apparent in the workforce and the hiring process. Legislators are combating age discrimination, including a recent proposal called the Protecting Older Workers Against Discrimination Act, and companies are under fire for certain hiring practices, such as targeting younger applicants through social media. Older workers are stereotyped as lacking a strong work ethic, counting down the days to retirement and a disinterest in learning new skills to stay competitive in the workforce, and they also struggle with negative comments about their age from colleagues or are overlooked for promotions.)DAILY BEAST

https://codcourier.org/11299/opinion/americas-fake-news-epidemic-we-need-credible-news-sources/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: In the era of the Internet, fake news is easily spread. It is because of today’s technology that we as consumers of media have the responsibility to seek out the most accurate, unbiased sources of news. Sources like Buzzfeed and Fox News are simply too biased to take for accurate news. These news outlets may be OK for a quick glance at what is happening in the world, but they shouldn’t be our go-to sources. I urge readers to make sure you are gathering information from reputable sources. I recommend The Associated Press, BBC and Reuters for world news, and the Daily Herald for local news. These media outlets tend to meet high journalistic standards while putting out minimal partisan bias in their stories. If we continue to allow ourselves to confuse biased, fake news for factual news, we risk the autonomy to make decisions based on our own morals. We cannot allow ourselves to be lied to by the fake news spread hazardously across the internet.)

They a) stressed their own financial, health, and other problems and b) stressed the money that I spent on new cars, tuition, real estate, collector cars, etc. and the money that I saved for my retirement. They shouted a) that GAO should not have promoted me in 1986, b) that GAO should have forced me to suffer an even greater pay cut to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980, and c) that IRS should not have promoted me in 1972, 1973, or 1974.)
