— Despite strong economy, many Americans struggling to get by – AP (DIERSEN: What did you do to qualify yourself for better paying jobs? 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. Anyone should be able to do what I did because according to my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes, I am extremely stupid. But out of the other side of their crooked mouths they shout that I had tremendous unfair advantages in life including that I was born a White male, that my ancestors have been in America since 1844, that I avoided the draft, that I worked for the federal government, that I got married, that my wife has always had income, that we gave up trying to have children, that we did not adopt, and that we did not become foster parents, etc.)

— College students need more loan watchdogs, not fewer – Editorial (DIERSEN: When you were in high school, would you have been able to get a student loan? Because I would not have been able to get a student loan, I did not even try. When was in high school, I was not viewed as being “college material.” Neither of my parents had attended college. My father was the first of his ancestors to earn a high school diploma. My mother never attended high school. I spent my junior and senior years and the summer in between washing dishes for the minimum wage in the basement of the S.S. Kresges in Chicago Heights. I just barely made into the upper 20% of my class. My ACT score was only 24. I was 1-A for draft notwithstanding the fact that my eyesight could not be corrected to 20/20, I had partial red/green color blindness, and I had Osgood-Schlatter disease (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osgood%E2%80%93Schlatter_disease).)

DAILY HERALD
— FRONT PAGE TOP OF FOLD WITH BIG COLOR GRAPHIC AND TABLE: FROM THE ARTICLE: For every dollar DuPage County taxpayers send to Springfield, the state returns 31 cents. That’s the lowest rate of return among all 102 counties in Illinois, according to a recently released study conducted by researchers at the Paul Simon Public Policy Institute at Southern Illinois University in Carbondale. – Jake Griffin (DIERSEN: One could argue that Illinois is financially dependent on DuPage County. One could argue that without DuPage County, Illinois would have to immediately file for bankruptcy. DuPage County is run by Republicans. One could argue that if more statewide candidates were elected from DuPage County, Illinois would not be having the financial problems that it is having. Aside from Evelyn Sanguinetti, the last statewide candidate from DuPage County elected was Jim Ryan. Further, when James “Pate” Philip from DuPage County was President of the Illinois Senate, Illinois was much more fiscally responsible.)

About half the Diersens stayed with the church as it dumped the Missouri Synod and moved to the Wisconsin Synod. The other half, including my parents, me, and my brother transferred to Hope Lutheran Church in Park Forest to stay with the Missouri Synod.)

DAILY CALLER
— CONSERVATIVES AT FACEBOOK FORM ‘FB’ERS FOR POLITICAL DIVERSITY’ TO COMBAT COMPANY’S IDEOLOGICAL ECHOCHAMBER – Kyle Perisic (DIERSEN: Conservative Republican Precinct Committeemen/Captains in Illinois should organize and form an association. It could be named the “Association of Conservative Republican Precinct Committeemen/Captains of Illinois” or ACRPCI. In your township/ward and in your county, what percent of the Republican Precinct Committeemen/Captains are conservative? What have they done that shows that they support the traditional family, right to life, immigration, Second Amendment, and the rest of the planks in the Illinois Republican Party platform?)
https://dailycaller.com/2018/08/28/facebook-political-diversity-james-damore/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: More than one hundred conservative Facebook employees have joined an internal employee message board to protest what they call the company’s “intolerant” liberal culture. The group, “FB’ers for Political Diversity,” was created last week, The New York Times reported Tuesday, and aims to promote ideological diversity within the company. Facebook’s workforce of more than 25,000 is viewed as largely liberal. “We are a political monoculture that’s intolerant of different views,” wrote senior Facebook engineer and group cofounder Brian Amerige in a post, The NYT added. “We claim to welcome all perspectives, but are quick to attack — often in mobs — anyone who presents a view that appears to be in opposition to left-leaning ideology.” Amerige’s post continues to criticize Facebook’s emphasis on racial and gender diversity and how it, along with the company’s overt liberal bias, threatens the “viability as a company.” Facebook banned a dissenting conservative group in December 2016, Business Insider reported in August 2017. The group, “Facebook Anon,” was an anonymous group chat for supporters of then-candidate Donald Trump. It was shut down for violating Facebook’s policies against anonymous accounts, but Business Insider reported that the talks “turned ugly and … alarmed management.” Amerige’s post echoes similar concerns of a memo former Google engineer James Damore wrote in August 2017 that criticized Google’s “ideological echo chamber,” The Daily Caller reported. “[W]e tear down posters welcoming Trump supporters. We regularly propose removing [tech investor Peter] Thiel from our board because he supported Trump,” Amerige wrote. “We’re quick to suggest firing people who turn out to be misunderstood, and even quicker to conclude our colleagues are bigots.” Amerige added that Facebook has made “all lives matter” a “fireable offense” and that human resources investigates anyone who dares “criticize Islam’s human rights record.” Amerige’s concerns are not without any evidence. Facebook cofounder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg has donated to left-leaning campaigns in the 2018 and 2020 elections, The Daily Caller News Foundation reported on Aug. 23. Facebook also has a well-documented history of removing conservative content, some of which was restored with an apologized after public backlash. (RELATED: Facebook Flags New York Post Article About Trump Voters As ‘Spam’) Facebook has also removed videos and shadow banned content. Facebook apologize for mistakenly removing videos from the popular conservative page PragerU on Aug. 17, The Daily Caller reported. FB’ers for Political Diversity’s only rule is “if you attack a person’s character, rather than their ideas, you will be banned.”)

She angrily demanded that I take her off my list and angrily demanded that I never bring Republican literature to her door again. I expect that she is one of the 30 or so voters in my precinct who a) cast Republican primary ballots to do whatever damage they can to the Republican Party and b) always vote for Democrats in general elections.)

WASHINGTON MONTHLY
— Republicans Make a List of Trump Scandals They’re Covering Up – Nancy LeTourneau (DIERSEN: I worked for GAO 1980-1997. One could say that the Democrats who ran GAO in 1997 forced me to take their early retirement “offer” to punish Newt Gingrich.)
https://washingtonmonthly.com/2018/08/28/republicans-make-a-list-of-trump-scandals-theyre-covering-up/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: What Newt saw to is what Paul Glastris and Haley Sweetland Edwards called, “The Big Lobotomy.” A quick refresher: In 1995, after winning a majority in the House for the first time in forty years, one of the first things the new Republican House leadership did was gut Congress’s workforce. They cut the “professional staff” (the lawyers, economists, and investigators who work for committees rather than individual members) by a third. They reduced the “legislative support staff” (the auditors, analysts, and subject-matter experts at the Government Accountability Office [GAO], the Congressional Research Service [CRS], and so on) by a third, too, and killed off the Office of Technology Assessment (OTA) entirely…Since 2011, with a Tea Party-radicalized GOP back in control of the House, Congress has cut its budget by a whopping 20 percent, a far higher ratio than any other federal agency, leading, predictably, to staff layoffs, hiring and salary freezes, and drooping morale.)
— JUNE/JULY/AUGUST 2014 FLASHBACK: The Big Lobotomy How Republicans Made Congress Stupid – Paul Glastris and Haley Sweetland Edwards (DIERSEN: I worked for GAO 1980-1997. One could say that the Democrats who ran GAO in 1997 forced me to take their early retirement “offer” to punish Newt Gingrich.)
https://washingtonmonthly.com/magazine/junejulyaug-2014/the-big-lobotomy/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The third target of Gingrich’s attacks was the legislative support agencies. The Government Accountability Office, Congressional Budget Office, Congressional Research Service, and now-defunct Office of Technology Assessment operated on a bipartisan basis, offering measured reports on topics suggested by members themselves. Sometimes, these agencies act as helpful librarians, and sometimes they’re more like referees, carefully adjudicating among the competing quantitative claims of various members and outside groups. Gingrich, perhaps not surprisingly, viewed them all as potential rivals to his singular narrative.)

 

ENTREPRENEUR
— 6 Ways Healthy Office Competition Builds Teams and Improves Productivity – John Rampton (DIERSEN: When you got promotions, what competition did you face? GAO is in the legislative branch. My Democrat GAO superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates had a very low opinion of executive branch employees like I was for almost 12 years (Post Office 1966-1969 and IRS 1971-1980). They always hinted/implied/argued/shouted that I got promoted in 1972, 1973, and 1974 only because the IRS employees who I competed against for those promotions were inferior people. They always hinted/implied/argued/shouted that GAO would never have hired me in 1971, and if it had, it would never have promoted me in 1972, 1973, or 1974. They stressed that I did not earn an MBA until 1976, that I did not pass the CPA examination until 1979, and that I did not earn a master’s degree in accounting until 1980.)

— 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.)

They stress that I am no longer a TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois chairman, Wheaton Chamber of Commerce Government Affairs Committee member, Milton Township Republican Central Committee webmaster, Illinois Center Right Coalition Steering Committee member, or American Association of Political Consultants Midwest Chapter board member.

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.)

— Keep an old car running and you’ll save a fortune – Peter Dunn (DIERSEN: My not driving my 1972 Corvette has cost me a fortune. D&M Corvette in Downers Grove has appraised my 1972 Corvette at $41,500. 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.)

Present-day attendees drew comparisons between the current political climate and that of 1968, hoping to re-capture the energy of the past to bring about change. “If you don’t have a screaming opposition to scream at that, it will take over,” said Katy Nielsen, a present-day protestor. “Here we are 50 years later and not only is it continuing, it’s worse now in a lot of ways.”)

CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— 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.”)

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.)

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.)

— Thousands of Amazon workers receive food stamps. Now Sen. Bernie Sanders wants Amazon to pay up. – Abha Bhattarai
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.)

I should write a book about the nastiest past and present politicians, their operatives, and their dupes in Wheaton, in Glen Ellyn, in Milton Township, in DuPage County, in Illinois, in TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois, in Wheaton Chamber of Commerce, in Milton Township Republican Central Committee, in DuPage County Republican Central Committee, in Illinois Republican Party, in Illinois Center Right Coalition, in American Association of Political Consultants, in GAO, in IRS, in Post Office, in etc.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: “Any consultant would say you’ve got to take the other guy down. It may be too late for him to project any sense of why the next four years would be any different than the last four years. That’s the question,” Axelrod said. “If he were to come back under these conditions, it would be one of the greatest political rehabilitation stories in Illinois history,” said Axelrod, who expects Rauner “to run brutal negative ads and hope he can knock Pritzker down to the point to pass him.” Axelrod said Rauner’s favorability numbers also need to rise in order for him to get out of his funk. The poll shows voters have a negative opinion of him by a 2-to-1 margin. Those numbers seem “almost impossible to surmount,” said Axelrod. “But impossible things happen in politics.” Told of Axelrod’s comments, Rauner spokesman Alex Browning responded, “Pundits and public polling were wrong about Bruce Rauner in 2014 and they’ll be wrong again in 2018. With Illinois’ future on the line, voters care about lowering taxes and fighting corruption, not polling and prop bets.”)

NEW YORK TIMES
— Singapore Says ‘Crazy Rich Asians’ Author Skipped Military Service – Austin Ramzy (DIERSEN: Did you avoid the draft? Trump and I did. I should write a book about those who have punished me the most for my avoiding the draft by getting four student draft deferments 1966-1970 and a financial hardship draft deferment 1970-1971.
https://www.nytimes.com/2018/08/22/world/asia/kevin-kwan-crazy-rich-asians-singapore-military.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The author of “Crazy Rich Asians,” the best-selling novel on which the new hit film is based, never fulfilled his national service obligations in Singapore and could face a fine or potential prison term, the country’s Ministry of Defense said Wednesday. The status of the author, Kevin Kwan, was revealed by the authorities one day after the film, which was largely set and filmed in Singapore, made its premiere there. Mr. Kwan did not attend the opening there, although the director, Jon M. Chu, and several of the film’s stars did. Mr. Kwan, 44, left Singapore when he was 11 and moved to Houston. Singapore requires all male citizens to perform two years of service in the military, the police or the civil defense force, generally starting at age 18. Singaporeans are not allowed to renounce their citizenship until they turn 21, and can face legal problems if they try to do so without fulfilling their national service. Some profiles of Mr. Kwan said he became an American citizen at age 18. But Singapore appears to have not given up its claims to him. The Ministry of Defense said Mr. Kwan’s application to renounce his citizenship in 1994 was rejected, as was a subsequent appeal. “Mr. Kwan has committed offenses under the Enlistment Act,” the ministry said in a statement, adding that he could face a fine of up to $7,300 and/or imprisonment of up to three years if convicted.)

— Trump: Michael Cohen Flipping Against Me Should Almost Be Made Illegal (DIERSEN: I should write a book about those who have flipped against me.

The aforesaid played major roles in ending my TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois chairmanship, ending my Wheaton Chamber of Commerce Government Affairs Committee membership, ending my Milton Township Republican Central Committee webmaster service, ending my Illinois Center Right Coalition Steering Committee membership, ending my American Association of Political Consultants Midwest Chapter board membership, ending my GAO employment, etc.)
