DAILY CALLER
— THE LIBERAL JIHAD AGAINST TUCKER CARLSON – Derek Hunter
https://dailycaller.com/2019/03/12/liberal-mob-tucker-carlson-reaction-podcast/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: On the show today we get into the latest attempt by the progressive Gestapo to destroy someone who refuses to live on their thought plantation and how Tucker Carlson is standing up to the liberal mob. Plus, we discuss how more than 2,000 illegal aliens are reportedly quarantined due to communicable diseases and how the Democratic primary is embracing the concept of reparations for slavery, which could be the dumbest idea in a party of dumb ideas. Leftists have set their sights on Tucker Carlson this week, pretending to be outraged about wise-cracking jokes told on a radio show more than a decade ago. The progressive purity Gestapo demands absolute obedience, anything short of that must be destroyed. Tucker, to his credit, refused to cave and is standing strong, refusing to apologize for jokes dating back to 2006. Still, this Jihad continues and is being perpetrated not just by activists but by journalists as well. Maybe it’s time to hold liberals to their own standards? Maybe, until leftists start to live by the rules they set for others, conservatives hold them to their rules and institute an advertising boycott too? Human decency is too much to expect, maybe it’s time for some of their own medicine? Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is currently holding more than 2,000 illegal aliens in quarantine because there is reportedly an outbreak among the illegals of contagious diseases that have largely been eradicated in the U.S. This news is odd considering how liberals attacked Laura Ingraham a few months ago for saying this very same thing, now liberal outlets have been forced to report it because the problem has grown beyond their ability to ignore it. Democrats are starting to rush toward the idea of reparations for slavery. Out of ideas the American people support, pandering is all the rage on the left and there is no greater pander than the idea of big government checks for free. The party is now supporting the concept of taking money from people who’ve done nothing wrong and giving it to people who haven’t been wronged because people were wronged more than 150 years ago.)

CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— OUTSTANDING: High school students rally in Springfield against legalizing recreational marijuana; lawmaker coalition seeks slowdown in process – Robert McCoppin (DIERSEN: Needless-to-say, individuals, organizations, companies, governments, and countries that claim to be religious, conservative, and/or Republican should vehemently oppose legalizing recreational marijuana.)
https://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/breaking/ct-met-students-rally-against-marijuana-legalization-20190306-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Alarmed by the movement to legalize recreational marijuana in Illinois, high school students, law enforcement officials and lawmakers rallied against pot in Springfield on Wednesday. A coalition of about 40 lawmakers, led by Democratic state Rep. Marty Moylan of Des Plaines and House Republican leader Jim Durkin of Western Springs, also is sponsoring a resolution to slow down the effort to allow sales and taxation of cannabis. The resolution, supported primarily by suburban and downstate lawmakers, calls for delaying legalization so that lawmakers and stakeholders may consider the societal costs and examine data from other states. To show their opposition to legalization, about 90 students from Stevenson High School in Lincolnshire, Mundelein High School, and Kankakee High School rallied in the Capitol rotunda and met with lawmakers, according to Jamie Epstein, adult co-sponsor of Stevenson’s Catalyst Club. Carson Ezell, a member of the Catalyst Club at Stevenson, cited studies that found those who start using marijuana when they are young are more likely to become addicted, and that heavy marijuana use at a young age can lower one’s IQ. “As a teen, I feel the industry is really targeting us, with a lot of edibles in candy and fruit flavors,” he said. “It’s really scary to me.” The Illinois Association of Chiefs of Police also took part in the rally, citing data from Colorado showing more traffic accidents, fatalities and overall hospitalizations involving people with signs of marijuana use in their bodies. A spokesman for the Illinois branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, Robert Moore, predicted that blacks will again be victimized by legalization through greater addiction, increased law enforcement penalties for drugged driving, and loss of jobs and public housing due to zero-tolerance drug policies. He also was skeptical of claims that the tax money will go to minority communities. “We don’t need an additional substance that’s going to impair our youth and citizens,” he said. “This is just bad legislation — bad for our community and bad for the nation.”)

— Total household net worth in the fourth quarter of 2018 dropped by the largest amount since the fourth quarter of 2008 when the country was amid a steep recession, according to data released Thursday by the Federal Reserve. – Christopher Ingraham
https://www.washingtonpost.com/us-policy/2019/03/07/household-net-worth-falls-by-largest-amount-since-great-recession-new-fed-data-show/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The typical American household, however, may not feel much of a financial pinch as a result of the drop. For starters, stocks have since recovered much of their late 2018 losses, although they remain below the record highs set earlier in the year. More important, most of the household wealth in the United States is owned by the country’s richest families. In 2016, for instance, the top 1 percent of families owned 40 percent of all household wealth, with the next 9 percent of families holding an additional 29 percent. That leaves 21 percent of the country’s net worth for the remaining 90 percent of American families. Furthermore, about half of American families don’t own any stocks, while the top 10 percent of families control about 84 percent of the stock market. Taken together, the numbers are a reminder that the stock market is not the economy, and that big national-level data sets may not necessarily reflect financial reality for typical American families, many of whom live paycheck to paycheck and struggle to meet even small unexpected expenses.)

https://www.wsj.com/articles/can-the-worlds-wealthiest-absorb-the-high-end-home-glut-11551830488
(FROM THE ARTICLE: In Manhattan, there are around 500 homes asking $10 million and up, and a surfeit of mega-pricey properties is also appearing in Los Angeles and Miami. The growing glut of wildly expensive homes begs the question: Are there enough people who can afford them? Perhaps eventually. Despite a darkening economic outlook globally, a new survey suggests wealth creation will remain constant in 2019. The global population of ultrawealthy individuals—defined as having a net-worth of at least $30 million—is forecast to rise 22% to nearly 250,000 over the next five years, according to a recent report by international real-estate firm Knight Frank. That means an additional 43,000 people will be worth more than $30 million by 2023.)

Because of that lack of protection, 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.)

https://www.illinoisreview.com/illinoisreview/2019/03/wheres-weyermuller-mingling-with-dupage-county-gopers.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: These are some of the issues in contention among the IL GOP faithful: Abortion 2nd amendment Border wall Illinois new minimum wage President Donald J Trump Some party leaders have indicated the IL GOP might have to take surveys of what Republicans believe and want for Illinois. Some Illinois Republicans do not wish to highlight these subjects. Many in the state – especially the conservative base – wants the party to ramp it up on these issues. The fact the Peter Roskam and Randy Hultgren lost their Congressional re-elections indicates they played it too close to the vest trying to be “moderate.” The days of Jim Edgar, Bruce Rauner, and Mark Kirk are over. To win elections in the future, Republicans need to go back to traditional values. Socialism and expansion of government with more tax, spend, regulate, and borrow needs to be shown that it doesn’t work. The Illinois GOP Platform needs to be inclusive, conservative, pro-family, pro 2nd amendment, pro less taxes, pro Trump, pro-freedom, and pro-America.)

My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have always hinted/implied/argued/shouted a) that instead of me, the Post Office should have hired a minority in 1966, b) that the Post Office should gotten rid of me much sooner than it did so that a Black could have my job, c) that instead of me, IRS should have hired a Black in 1971, d) that instead of me, IRS should have promoted Blacks in 1972, 1973, and 1974, e) that instead of me, GAO should have hired a Black in 1980, f) that instead of me, GAO should have promoted a Black in 1986, and g) that GAO should have gotten rid of me much sooner than it did so that a Black could have my job and my preferred corner office.)

— Poll finds 37 percent found Cohen testimony credible (DIERSEN: How credible are you? If your critics/opponents polled those who are members of organizations that you are a member of, what percent would say that you are credible? If my critics/opponents polled the members of the Milton Township Republican Central Committee (MTRCC), what percent would say that I am credible? From what I see, MTRCC members give tremendous weight to the opinions of those who dominate the MTRCC. Those who dominate the MTRCC include a) past and present MTRCC, DuPage County Republican Central Committee (DCRCC), and Illinois Republican Party (IRP) officers, b) past and present Milton Township officials, c) past and present DuPage County officials, d) past and present Illinois officials, and e) past, present, and potential major MTRCC donors.)

— To back his claim that Trump is racist, Michael Cohen recounts a story from Chicago
https://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/breaking/ct-met-michael-cohen-trump-chicago-20190227-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: In a statement sent to the Washington Post earlier Wednesday, Rudy Giuliani, Trump’s personal attorney, questioned Cohen’s truthfulness. “It’s pathetic. This is a lawyer who (taped) his own client when he claimed he was being loyal. If you believe him, you are a fool,” Giuliani said. “He bragged he was connected to Russian organized crime and he may be. His father-in-law who gave him millions to (invest) was convicted of tax fraud in a money-laundering operation. Let’s see if these Democrats want to ask about his many crimes having nothing to do with anyone but his coterie of business associates with questionable connections.”)

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. 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 resign in 1969 and disallowed my sick leave requests in 1969 and 1968.)
