CHICAGO SUN-TIMES
— Remap flap: Democrats release new state legislative maps they call ‘fair’ — but GOP dub straight from ‘Mike Madigan playbook’ The maps released Friday are just for Illinois House and Senate districts – not the state’s Congressional or state Supreme Court districts. The maps also chart a path for a heated partisan battle, one likely to include lawsuits as legislators work to pass a map. – Rachel Hinton and Andrew Sullender

— CNN columnist claims conservative power in academia helped keep 1619 Project founder off UNC faculty The 1619 Project claims America’s founding was grounded in racism and slavery, rather than individual liberty and self-governance – Charles Creitz (DIERSEN: Needless-to-say, to claim that conservatives have any power in academia, or in anything else, is patently absurd and insulting. Ever-increasingly, conservative-haters crow about their success in getting rid of conservative once and for all, and especially conservatives who are law enforcement officers, Trump supporters, patriotic, Republican, American, White, male, older, heterosexual, married, non-poor, gun owners, Christian, Protestant, Italian American, German American, and/or those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time. Ever-increasingly, conservative-haters a) crow about their success in getting rid of conservatives in Illinois, in DuPage County, in DuPage County’s 4th District, in Milton Township, in Wheaton, in Wheaton’s West District, and in my precinct and b) crow about their success in promoting dependency on government, dependency on charity, LGBTQ, abortion, mass/illegal immigration, booze, gambling, pot, and other vices, abolition of the First and Second Amendments, patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: The state senator tweeted that he was speaking out about the past relationship because “investigators have been hounding my family for weeks and now the liberal fake news is coming out with a hit piece about my teenage years.” He pointed to “dirty politics” in his Facebook video, but did not explicitly name Cheney or any politicians. Bouchard claimed that the efforts of an unnamed British media reporter and a “political opposition research company” were why he wanted to disclose the news. Cheney campaign spokesman Jeremy Adler declined to comment on Bouchard’s past relationship. He denied that the congresswoman’s campaign played any role in pushing the story. “Absolutely not,” he said to The Washington Post. Messages left for the Wyoming Republican Party and the state Senate were not immediately returned Friday.)

— Air Force watchdog to examine reassignment of Space Force commander – Samuel Chamberlain (DIERSEN: In a different world, my Republican U.S. Senators and my Republican U.S. Representatives would have demanded investigations of the adverse actions that the Democrats who ran GAO 1980-1997, IRS 1971-1980, and Post Office 1966-1969 took against me. 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 $20,361 (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980. 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. My Democrat Post Office superiors forced me to resign in 1969 and disallowed my sick leave requests in 1969 and 1968.)
https://nypost.com/2021/05/21/air-force-watchdog-to-examine-removal-of-space-force-commander/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Air Force spokeswoman Ann Stefanek confirmed Thursday that the investigation into whether Lt. Col. Matthew Lohmeier’s actions constituted “prohibited partisan political activity” had been elevated “due to the complexity and sensitivity of the issues under consideration, as well as potential for [Air Force]-wide impact.” Lohmeier was relieved of command of the 11th Space Warning Squadron at Buckley Air Force Base in Colorado after he appeared on the “Information Operation” podcast earlier this month to discuss his book “Irresistible Revolution: Marxism’s Goal of Conquest & the Unmaking of the American Military.” “The diversity, inclusion and equity industry and the trainings we are receiving in the military … is rooted in critical race theory, which is rooted in Marxism,” Lohmeier told podcast host L. Todd Wood.)

POLITICO ILLINOIS
— Former House Speaker Paul Ryan, a Republican from Wisconsin, headlines a fundraiser Monday for Rep. Adam Kinzinger. It’s a decisive move against ex-President Donald Trump, who has set his sights on Republicans who voted to impeach him. Kinzinger is one of 10 Republicans who joined Democrats to impeach Trump for his role in the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol. The Illinois Republican has continued to carry the anti-Trump mantle and it’s no surprise that Ryan would back Kinzinger. Ryan, who’s had a long-running feud with Trump , criticized Republicans who wouldn’t certify the Electoral College results that validated Joe Biden’s election as president.

On September 16, 1996, I presented oral arguments to Chief Judge Posner and to Circuit Court Judges Coffey and Kanne. On March 31, 1997, the Appellate Court agreed with me and ruled that DOT’s exemption for cars over 10 years old was invalid.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Halfway through her first term, Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot is addressing what she says is a lack of diversity in the media. The city’s first Black female mayor says that’s why she decided to only grant one-on-one interviews marking her first two years in office with journalists of color. “I ran to break up the status quo that was failing so many,” Lightfoot said on Twitter. “That isn’t just in City Hall. It’s a shame that in 2021, the City Hall press corps is overwhelmingly White in a city where more than half of the city identifies as Black, Latino, AAPI or Native American.” Her calls for equity are drawing some cheers, while others question the fairness of granting interviews based on race. It should be noted that politicians frequently pick and choose which reporters they’ll grant exclusive interviews and representatives for governors and mayors also frequently shop around ideas for news stories.)

My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have always hinted/implied/argued/shouted that they would never stoop to take the “bad” jobs that I took. I did yard work and delivered newspapers 1962-1964; washed dishes 1964-1966; cleaned golf shoes, chipped slag, and pumped gasoline in 1966; delivered mail 1966-1969; worked on an automobile assembly line and as a security guard in 1970; sold tires, automotive services, and major appliances 1970-1971; pumped gasoline 1971-1972; collected delinquent taxes 1971-1980; and audited federal agencies 1980-1997. To qualify myself 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.

(FROM THE ARTICLE: The settlement announced Friday was the resolution of the 2019 lawsuit, which claimed the tests were biased against minority and low-income students. For all of the shortcomings of standardized tests—and the particular problems with the College Board, which owns the SAT—these college entrance exams attempt to approximate an objective assessment of a student’s capacity to do college-level work. Getting a good score reflects hard work and often is rewarded with admission to a chosen college.)

I worked for the Post Office 1966-1969, Firestone Stores 1970-1972, IRS 1971-1980, and GAO 1980-1997. Many, if not most, and at times, virtually all of my superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates were veterans.

Extremely few GAO employees make the aforesaid promotion deadlines.)
https://onenewsnow.com/national-security/2021/05/18/boykin-the-purge-is-on-but-who-is-left-to-fight
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Allegations the Biden administration is “purging” the U.S. armed forces of patriotic officers are true and troubling, says a retired U.S. Army general whose name was included in a letter warning the United States is in “deep peril” because of Joe Biden’s mental decline and because the nation is drifting toward Communism and lawlessness. In a radio interview on American Family Radio, retired army general Jerry Boykin confirmed Joe Biden is following in the steps of Barack Obama, whose Pentagon famously sacked nearly 200 officers during his two terms in the White House. But that ideology test weakens our country, he said, because newly promoted officers are not ready to fight a war. According to Boykin, when you push out competent and “combat-tested” officers, such as Army colonels, that creates an enormous gap in leadership and experience that must be filled, over time, by majors and lieutenant colonels who are stepping into new roles and responsibilities.)

The senior Republican in Maricopa County, Jack Sellers, the chairman of the board of supervisors, said flatly that the county would stop cooperating with the review and suggested that it would challenge in court any of its conclusions that pointed toward improprieties. – Michael Wines

— Franklin Graham worries Trump too old to run in 2024 (DIERSEN: I was born in 1948. All my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have always promoted age discrimination. What would you stress in defense of your age? I stress that neither health problems nor any other kind of problem has stopped me from putting together and sending out a GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletter a) each and every morning since 2004 and b) each and every evening too since 2015. Further, I have the best record by far for attending Milton Township Republican Organization meetings and fundraisers since 1999.)
https://www.axios.com/franklin-graham-trump-2024-president-054ab9ca-f55e-4588-baa0-b564cefa0592.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The Rev. Franklin Graham says a potential 2024 presidential bid by Donald Trump would “be a very tough thing to do,” the prominent Christian leader told “Axios on HBO.” Why it matters: Graham, the president of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association and Samaritan’s Purse, was among Trump’s earliest and most prominent evangelical defenders. Graham told “Axios on HBO” that a Trump comeback would be difficult because of his advancing age and eating habits. ““I think for him, everything will depend on his health at that time. If he still has energy and strength like he does. I don’t.” “You know the guy does not eat well, you know, and it’s amazing the energy that he has.” “He’s lost weight, fifteen pounds, Maybe. So he might be in good health and in good shape. I don’t know.” Trump would be 78 in 2024, the same age as Joe Biden in 2020. The big picture: Graham stood by Trump through repeated scandals, telling “Axios on HBO” in 2018 that he saw Trump as a defender of the faith. “Now people say ‘Well Frank but how can you defend him, when he’s lived such a sordid life?’ I never said he was the best example of the Christian faith. He defends the faith. And I appreciate that very much.”)

FINANCIAL TIMES
— A revolt against the rich could be sparked by basic demographics. There are now far more millennial adults, some with children, for whom the economy is not delivering. – RHYMER RIGBY (DIERSEN: I should write a book about my critics/opponents who have demonized, denigrated, and condemned me the most for my being a union member for almost 12 years. During those almost 12 years (1966-1969 and 1971-1980), my federal salary increased from $16.81/hour to $97,395/year in today’s dollars. In my defense, I earned a bachelor’s degree in management from NIU in 1970 and an MBA from Loyola in 1976, I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, and I started taking graduate accounting courses at DePaul in 1976.)
https://www.ft.com/content/39a68887-0277-4be8-bc1e-310601522f0a
(FROM THE ARTICLE: US President Joe Biden made a remarkable speech at the end of March: “I’m a union guy. I support unions. Unions built the middle class. It’s about time they start to get a piece of the action.” He said this at a carpentry trade school outside the rust-belt city of Pittsburgh, which only served to underscore the message. The idea that a political leader in an Anglosphere country might be interested in what unions have to say felt like a seismic shift — and one that took me back. One of the great stories of my adult life has the widespread acceptance that it is all right, even desirable, to be filthy rich.)


MANAGEMENT TODAY

For example, that I was a Republican, that I was conservative, that I opposed political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination, that I opposed promotion of dependency on government, that I opposed dependency on charity, that I opposed the promotion of LGBTQ, abortion, mass/illegal immigration, booze, gambling, pot, and other vices, and diminishment of First and Second Amendment rights, that I avoided the draft, that I had been baptized, raised, and confirmed as a Missouri Synod Lutheran, that I was 100% German national origin, that my ancestors had been America since 1844, that I had lived in Crete 1948-1972 and Wheaton since 1978, that my wife and I had given up trying to have children, that we did not adopt, and that we did not become foster parents, that I bought a new 1972 Corvette in 1971, a 1962 Chevy Impala SS collector car in 1989, and a 1968 Dodge Charger R/T collector car in 1994, that my wife and I bought a home in Wheaton in 1978 and that we had one built there in 1984, etc.)

Petitioner Bob Grogan (R), Candidate for DuPage County Auditor, and Respondent Bill White (D), Candidate for DuPage County Auditor, are named in the complaint. The election was certified as White winning the election with a 75 vote margin of victory, with 491,067 votes cast. Grogan then exercised his right to examine for irregularities in a specified sampling of precincts. As a result of the examination at a particular polling place (containing three precincts) in Downers Grove Township, none of the ballots that were cast were initialed by an election judge, which is required by the Illinois Election Code. Grogan argued that the result of this, if the uninitialed ballots are declared invalid and not counted, Grogan would net 82 votes, which would exceed the 75 vote margin of victory of White. Based on this examination, Grogan asked for a county-wide recount. From the Order: “In construing the above provisions, the Illinois Supreme Court has been both explicit and resolute for more than a century: ” ‘statutes requiring election judges to initial ballots are mandatory, and *** uninitialed ballots may not be counted.’ ” “petitioner’s motion for a full recount us GRANTED, and this court hereby orders that a county-wide recount of the November 3, 2020, election for the office of DuPage County Auditor be conducted in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Agree Recount Order. . . During such recount . . . any in-precinct ballot that is not initialed shall be deemed defective and not counted.”)

ILLINOIS FAMILY INSTITUTE
— DISGUSTING, TRAGIC: Critical Race Theory Finds a Home at Wheaton College – Laurie Higgins
https://illinoisfamily.org/faith/critical-race-theory-finds-a-home-at-wheaton-college/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: That probably explains why administrators and faculty said next to nothing when the increasingly woke, decreasingly conservative evangelical Wheaton College held a racially segregated pre-graduation ceremony for colorful people on May 8, 2021, which was advertised as “RACIALIZED MINORITY RECOGNITION CEREMONY” (all caps in original) and held in the campus chapel. While it was created “Especially for undergraduate students, staff, and faculty of color,” the school provided “limited seating” for colorless people. I wonder if those seats were way in the back. One Wheaton faculty member who likely loves Wheaton’s embrace of re-segregation is associate professor of philosophy and critical race theorist Nathan Cartagena who was recently interviewed for leftist Christian Jim Wallis’ Sojourners’ magazine. In this interview, Cartagena explained how he sussed out Wheaton’s friendliness to CRT by delivering a visiting lecture on controversial critical race theorist Tommy Curry during the interview process: I wanted to see: Is this a place that would welcome such reflection? I received a warm welcome from the students, my department, etc., so I thought “OK, this is a place where I can do this.” And by “do this,” Cartagena meant, not expose students to the debate on CRT, but to promote CRT: I taught a reading group my first year at Wheaton that involved one of the important texts in the critical race theory movement, Faces at the Bottom of the Well by Derrick Bell. The following year I asked if I could teach a half-semester class on critical race theory—I got a full thumbs up. . .Enquiring donors and parents considering sending their children to Wheaton may want to know if Cartagena spends equal time having students study any of the many works of criticism of CRT like Cynical Theories: How Activist Scholarship Made Everything About Race, Gender, and Identity—and Why This Harms Everyone or Voddie Baucham’s book Fault Lines: The Social Justice Movement and Evangelicalism’s Looming Catastrophe.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: First, graduate. Second, maintain full-time employment. Third, if you’re going to have kids, wait until you’re married. If you follow those three steps in that order, you are following what has been coined the “success sequence.” People who have followed the success sequence are much likelier to escape poverty and end up in the middle to upper-income brackets. Many parents have been giving similar advice for generations, but academics and policymakers have only recently given the concept any attention.)
