THE BL
— Major companies faced allegations of discrimination against whites in hiring and training policies – Andrés Vacca (COMMENT: GAO hired me in 1980 because it could not find a qualified Democrat, minority, female, younger person, or veteran who would take the job. IRS hired me in 1971 because it could not find a qualified Democrat, minority, female, or veteran who would take the job. The Post Office hired me in 1966 because it could not find a qualified Democrat, minority, female, or veteran who would take the job.)
https://thebl.com/us-news/major-companies-faced-allegations-of-discrimination-against-whites-in-hiring-and-training-policies.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Many major U.S. firms such as Coca Cola, McDonald’s, Disney, American Express, Bank of America, Lowe’s, and Pfizer faced many complaints during 2021 accusing them of forcing their employees to receive training on issues associated with leftist ideologies such as “Critical Race Theory” and gender policies. There have even been allegations of a preference for hiring black people as a policy of some firms. Major U.S.-based companies had faced legal issues when many whistleblowers revealed that over the past year, they had been forced to undergo training on, among other issues, the highly controversial Critical Race Theory (CRT). As its name indicates, it is just a theory, that is to say, that it is not something proven, and it is also wholly loaded with a strong leftist ideology. In short, these companies have been forcing their employees to receive a kind of leftist indoctrination to keep their jobs, according to the allegations. One of the issues they sought to “teach” to the employees is to know how to differentiate the supposedly “marginalized” personnel within the organization and place them above the “privileged” personnel; this is a typical analysis of the Marxist theory of organizations where they always seek to fragment and divide between oppressors and oppressed, victims and victimizers. This ends up generating controversy, instability, and suspicion among co-workers. In addition, much emphasis was placed on the issue of “decolonizing” the minds of workers and combating aspects of a supposed “white supremacist culture,” such as perfectionism, individualism, and objectivity. These ideas have their theoretical foundation in CRT, a framework that involves deconstructing aspects of current society to uncover alleged systemic racism beneath the surface. In this regard, current and former American Express employees told Fox News in a series of interviews that the imposition of this indoctrination began after the assassination of George Floyd in May 2020, but that the “awakening” training came to light in 2021. In February 2021, McDonald’s announced that hiring too many white men would cause senior executives who did so to lose bonuses, now prioritizing women and “historically underrepresented groups” for top corporate positions. An article published by HumanEvents.com writer Celine Ryan questioned this system and called it “McQuotas.” “But even those who place value on the concepts of ‘diversity, equity and inclusion’ have repeatedly pointed out that these types of hiring quotas are misguided at best, and empty performances at worst, with unintended negative consequences,” Ryan wrote. The multinational effectively increased the percentages of employees it now prioritizes when hiring, without parameters such as demographic proportionality in each country. According to Fox News, Coca-Cola also generated a strong reaction when it was discovered that in its employee training instructions, it included a rule that participants “try to be less white” in their behavior. In March, Manhattan Institute senior fellow Chris Rufo revealed whistleblower documents from the Walt Disney Company’s “Reimagine Tomorrow” diversity and inclusion program. The program includes multiple “anti-racism” training modules. This type of training usually results in what is called “affirmative action,” where the supposed “oppressors” end up becoming the oppressed because of accusations that are not necessarily true.)

LEGAL INSURRECTION
— Millions More People Claiming To Be Native American In Past Decade, According to Census Data. “The Native American population in the U.S. grew by a staggering 86.5% between 2010 and 2020, according to the latest U.S. Census – a rate demographers say is impossible to achieve without immigration…. Instead, individuals who previously identified as white are now claiming to be Native American.” – William A. Jacobson (COMMENT: Ever-increasingly, under the Democrats and under the RINOs, the more of the following that you are, the more that you officially get preference: minority, female, younger, LGBTQ, veteran, Trump-hater, Democrat, RINO, moderate, liberal, non-Christian, non-Protestant, citizen of a foreign country, non-Italian American, non-German American, and if your ancestors have not been in America for a long time.)

THE HILL
— For America’s future population, how much is too much? – JOSEPH CHAMIE (COMMENT: Democrats want to flood America with immigrants because immigrants vote for Democrats. RINOs want to flood America with immigrants because RINOs want cheap labor.)
https://thehill.com/opinion/immigration/587086-for-americas-future-population-how-much-is-too-much
(FROM THE ARTICLE: While some have called for a U.S. population of one billion and many continue to push for an ever-increasing national population without specifying an upper limit, others are recommending a gradual stabilization of America’s population. America currently has 333 million citizens: triple the number from a century ago. The U.S. population is currently the world’s third-largest after China at 1.44 billion and India at 1.39 billion. Although the U.S. population is expected to increase to 400 million around mid-century, Nigeria is projected to overtake it by that time. In addition, Nigeria is expected to remain third throughout the 21st century, with America being in fourth place followed closely by Pakistan. Basically, there are two ways for America to increase its population size. One is through higher fertility rates that would result in substantially more births than deaths. The second is to increase the current levels of immigration to the U.S.)

The following helped get me admitted: completion of college preparatory courses in high school, graduating in the upper 20% of my high school class, getting a 24 on the ACT, earning a bachelors degrees from NIU in 1970, and earning a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980.)

— 7 Issues to Look Out for During a Home Inspection – Maurie Backman (DIERSEN: If my wife and I were to list our home for sale, we would disclose to prospective buyers and to their home inspectors all our home’s defects and what was done to mitigate those defects including the following. The foundation’s footings cracked before the foundation walls were poured, so the builder put steel reinforcement in the walls and laid interior foundation drain tiles. Many lengthy cracks formed in the basement floor, so I sealed them. The home was built on the intersection of two subterranean drainage lines, so I properly connected those lines to the city storm sewer system. Those subterranean drainage lines create drainage easements, so I had those easements recorded. The subdivision lacks adequate storm water drainage, so I paid the builder $700 to directly connect all of the home’s seven downspouts to the city storm sewer system and I installed many storm water inlets and hundreds of feet of French drains.)

WASHINGTON TIMES
— Foreshadowing America at the precipice in 2022. If USAID did an assessment of America today, what might it foretell? – Ron MacCammon
https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2021/dec/22/foreshadowing-america-at-the-precipice-in-2022/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Data collected on the U.S. using this lens shows a nation in turmoil. Some of the glaring indicators are the crumbling of cultural and civic institutions, a toxically divided populace, an economy vitiated by COVID-19 and a significant loss of international prestige. Across the spectrum, Americans are distrustful and disdainful and appear to coalesce around two camps: the aggrieved and the resilient. Data gleaned from the analysis shows America’s aggrieved is a cabal committed to radically transforming society into a liberal dystopia. They see America through a lens of oppression and victimhood, and if you disagree, you are an existential threat. This is no proletarian movement. They use identity politics, institutional racism and COVID-19 as cudgels to purposefully badger everyday Americans into compliance. They are oblivious to context and nuance and rarely consider second- or third-order consequences. The aggrieved control the universities and have increasingly pushed their indoctrination into secondary education. They exert considerable control over legacy and social media, corporate America, sports figures and celebrities. They understand the power of networks and astutely recognize them as more important than hierarchical bureaucracies. The assessment shows the resilient represent traditional societal and institutional norms. Things like freedom of speech, law and order, and our history … warts and all. They are not as organized, nor have they been as committed to defending their values in the public square. The resilient are repelled by the brazen hypocrisy of the aggrieved and have suffered years of gratuitous insults. They finally recognize tolerance has only emboldened the aggrieved.)

Extremely few GAO employees make the aforesaid promotion deadlines. GAO used bad job assignments, unfair performance expectations, unfair performance appraisals, pay-for-performance, “banding,” budget cuts, office closures, up-or-out, early outs, etc. to get rid of the aforesaid employees.)

BLOOMBERG LAW
— A Black deputy sheriff for DuPage County, Illinois isn’t entitled to a trial on his claims that he was denied a promotion to sergeant because of his race and that the county conspired to withhold promotions from Black deputies through artificially low performance evaluation scores, a federal court in Illinois ruled. Although the deputy suffered an adverse employment action by receiving a score of 67 on his performance evaluation instead of the minimum 70 necessary to sit for the promotional exam, he could not produce any evidence leading a reasonable jury to believe that the adverse employment action was due … (COMMENT: The low performance evaluations that my Democrat IRS and GAO superiors gave me conflicted with the fact a) that I passed the CPA and Certified Internal Auditor examinations on my first attempt, b) that I earned master’s degrees in business, accounting, and finance, and c) that I became a licensed CPA, Certified Fraud Examiner, Certified Government Financial Manager, Certified Financial Services Auditor, and Forensic Accountant.)

I should write a book about what my minority female GAO superiors and supervisors did to get rid of me. They forced me to retire in 1997 when I was 49 years old. Before that, they gave me bad job assignments, unfair performance expectations, and unfair appraisals. They always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes. They did not promote me beyond GS-13. They got rid of my mentor in 1987 who had arranged my transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980, got me assigned to audits of IRS in 1986, and promoted me in 1986. They kept me off audits of IRS for all but 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for GAO. Those who hired them forced me to take a $20,361 (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980.)

In its 4-page hit piece on me in its February 1978 edition, Money Magazine a) painted me as being grossly overpaid, b) foisted negative government employee, political, racial, gender, religious, national origin, other stereotypes on me and on my wife, and c) painted my education deductions as being improper. Money Magazine would not have done that if I had been a Democrat, minority, female, veteran, non-Missouri Synod Lutheran, and/or non-German American.)
https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/nicholas-sandmann-reaches-settlement-with-nbc
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Sandmann became the center of attention after a viral confrontation between him and a Native American man named Nathan Phillips at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C., after attending events associated with the March for Life with classmates from Covington Catholic. Sandmann, wearing a “MAGA” hat, smiled at Phillips, an attendee of the Indigenous Peoples March who sang and played a drum in front of the teenager. Video of the encounter led to a media firestorm, and the ensuing litigation highlighted the reporting as incorrectly portraying the teenager as the face of an unruly and racist mob. The defamation lawsuit Sandmann filed against NBC Universal, which sought $275 million, said NBC “unleashed its vast corporate wealth, influence, and power against Nicholas to falsely attack him despite the fact that at the time, he was a 16-year-old high school student.”)

https://www.politico.com/newsletters/illinois-playbook/2021/12/17/ken-griffin-and-the-dark-money-of-2022-495511
— Ken Griffin and the dark money of 2022: SCOOP: The head of a dark money group that helped defeat last year’s graduated income tax measure is behind a campaign to elect a Republican candidate to run against Gov. JB Pritzker in 2022. And the money behind the effort will come from billionaire Ken Griffin. Mike Zolnierowicz, who was former Gov. Bruce Rauner’s first chief of staff, is working the levers of this operation, according to two Playbook sources. The former governor, however, is not involved. Zolnierowicz, or Mike Z, did not return a request for comment. Interviews with potential candidates have been held in secrecy with Zolnierowicz. Word got out, however, that there’s interest in Aurora Mayor Richard Irvin to run for governor and state Rep. Avery Bourne to join the ticket as lieutenant governor. Neither returned requests for comment. It’s part of a plan for Griffin to bankroll a slate of GOP candidates, reports Lee Enterprises’ Brenden Moore. A source close to Griffin said the Citadel CEO has not met with any candidates and has not yet decided who he is going to support. Griffin is clear about his concerns for Illinois. “We have real problems in Illinois with violence, corruption and profligate spending and I look forward to supporting candidates — be it Republican or Democrat — who will address these issues that plague our state,” he said in a statement to Playbook. A source who spoke to Playbook about Mike Z, also said Griffin has committed $150 million to the campaign, which would match what Pritzker spent in his first run for governor. Other media reports have attributed “multiple sources” as saying Griffin is willing to spend as much as $300 million in next year’s election. Those numbers are all speculation, according to a source close to Griffin. “The field for next year’s election hasn’t fully formed yet and Ken hasn’t made a decision. …There is also no spending number as there is no candidate.” Still pining for Griffin’s support are the current field of candidates: state Sen. Darren Bailey of Xenia, former state Sen. Paul Schimpf of Waterloo, and businessmen Gary Rabine and Jesse Sullivan. ABOUT IRVIN: “In 2007, Irvin became the first Black male elected to the Aurora City Council as an at-large member, and held that post until his election as mayor. … In October, he laughed off a Tribune reporter’s question about a gubernatorial run or whether he had been in talks with Griffin. There are also questions about Irvin’s positions on social issues that run counter to those held by the GOP base.” He has said he supports abortion rights, immigrant rights, and implementing sanctuary city-style policies for immigrants who lack legal status, reports Tribune’s Rick Pearson. ABOUT TODD RICKETTS: The Cubs co-owner “had previously announced he would not run for governor. But asked about that possibility [Thursday], his spokesman discouraged, but did not rule out, such a possibility, saying, ‘Ricketts has no current plans to run for governor,’” reports Crain’s Greg Hinz. — SHIA KAPOS

I would focus on those who a) demand blind loyalty to them and to them only and b) destroy those like me who they cannot manipulate/dominate, who refuse to glorify and praise them, who refuse to pander to them, who refuse to serve as one of their operatives or dupes, who refuse to cover up their wrongdoing, and/or who refuse to give them money.)

POWERLINE
— THE LIMITS OF CORPORATE WOKENESS – PAUL MIRENGOFF (COMMENT: Democrats and RINOs use Affirmative Action, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion to get rid of Republicans who are White, male, older, non-veteran, Protestant, German American, etc. Democrat and RINO government employers have far more motivation and power a) to not hire Republicans and b) to get rid of their Republican employees. Just look at how GAO, IRS, and the Post Office treated me. Just look at how RINO politicians in Illinois, DuPage County, Milton Township, and Wheaton treat me. Just look at now the Illinois Republican Party, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Milton Township Republican Organization treat me.)

https://www.powerlineblog.com/archives/2021/12/the-limits-of-corporate-wokeness.php
(FROM THE ARTICLE: As noted above, the Post asserts the existence of the gap based on its finding that Blacks are 12 percent of the population and 8 percent of high level executives. But high level corporate executives are not drawn from the general population or from the non-incarcerated population, of which Blacks make up a slightly smaller percentage. No reasonable person would argue that they should be. Corporate executives are, and should be, drawn from the portion of the U.S. population that it is highly accomplished. Do Blacks make up 8 percent of that population? I doubt it. Consider the portion of graduating high school students who are highly accomplished. First, to a disproportionate extent, Blacks don’t graduate from high school. Second, Blacks don’t make up 8 percent of the highly accomplished students who do graduate. We know this because, if it were otherwise, elite colleges wouldn’t have to grant stark racial preferences to attain 8 percent black representation. But statistics show that they must grant such preferences if they are to admit that percentage. Absent preferences, elite colleges, and many others, would be hard pressed to get to half of 8 percent. Next, consider law school performance. Do Blacks make up 8 percent of highly accomplished law students? I don’t think so. They didn’t when I was on the hiring and recruiting committee of my former law firm. Top law firms had to reach far below the top 10 percent to extend more than a tiny number of offers to Blacks. Additional evidence came from professor Amy Wax of the University of Pennsylvania law school, before the school silenced her. Wax had the audacity to say “I don’t think I’ve ever seen a black student graduate in the top quarter of the class [I teach to first year law students] and rarely, rarely in the top half.” Her law school was outraged by this statement, but didn’t (and I assume couldn’t) dispute its accuracy. Something very similar happened at Georgetown law school. It fired an adjunct professor for saying, privately, that Blacks make up a disproportionate number of low-performing students in the class she taught. Thus, if Blacks really do make up 8 percent of top corporate executives, it’s likely that they are overrepresented in these jobs if the criterion is merit, as it should be, rather than skin color. And if George Floyd’s tragic encounter with Derek Chauvin hasn’t helped pushed the percentage above 8 percent, that’s evidence that, as woke as it is, corporate America hasn’t completely lost its mind.)

NEW YORK TIMES
— You Love That House, but Should You Write a Love Letter? A common practice in real estate is coming under new scrutiny because of concerns about discrimination. And one state has made it illegal. – Candace Jackson (DIERSEN: From what I see watching home purchases in my precinct since 1984, it ever-increasing looks like Democrat realtors steer homebuyers to my precinct who are Democrat, moderate, liberal, LGBTQ, non-Protestant, and/or non-German American. Ever-increasingly, it looks like Democrat realtors stress to potential homebuyers a) that ever-increasingly, Democrats get more votes in the precinct, for example, Biden got 269 votes while Trump got only 157, b) that there are LGBTQ-promoting churches immediately north and south of the precinct, c) that the Wheaton Warrenville School District 200 Administration Headquarters is in the precinct, and d) that a grade school and middle school are in the precinct.)
https://www.nytimes.com/2021/12/17/realestate/you-love-that-house-but-should-you-write-a-love-letter.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: But last year, the National Association of Realtors issued a warning about the practice, cautioning that it may make sellers and agents vulnerable to accusations of discrimination, as love letters often disclose personal details that can reveal buyers’ family status, religion, sexual orientation or race — all protected statuses under fair housing laws. (The Fair Housing Act prevents landlords, banks, real estate agents and anyone else involved in leasing or selling homes from discriminating on the basis of race, sex, disability status, religion, national origin or familial status; states like California recognize additional protected categories, including occupation and gender expression.) Realtors’ organizations in California and Ohio followed suit. And this year, the state of Oregon took it a step further, passing legislation banning such letters. Starting in January 2022, it will be illegal for a seller’s agent to pass a love letter along to a client in Oregon. Mark Meek, the Oregon State Representative who proposed the legislation, said the idea emerged from his own experience as a real estate agent, observing the disparity in homeownership among racial groups, something he formed a task force to address in 2018. In 2019, he said, the rate of white homeownership in Oregon was 65 percent, compared with 35 percent for Black residents and 40 percent for Hispanic residents. “Whoever is the successful bidder of a home should be based on the qualification of the offer,” Mr. Meek said. “Not the preference of that seller.”)
— Jobless for a Year? That Might Be Less of a Problem Now. – Sydney Ember (COMMENT: Soon after my Democrat GAO superiors succeeded in forcing me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 year old, I came to realize that because of the adverse actions that they had taken against me, I would never get a job appropriate for someone with my work experience, education, professional certifications, and professional license.)

ACCOUNTANCY AGE
— “Still work to be done” on diversity in accountancy, industry leaders say. Research shows that more work is needed from firms. – Natasha Spencer-Jolliffe (COMMENT: When I transferred from IRS to GAO in 1980 when I was 31 years old, a very high percentage of my superiors, supervisors, and coworkers a) were Democrats, b) were Whites, c) were males, d) were older, e) were veterans, f) had accounting degrees from non-Ivy League universities, g) were non-Protestant, and h) were non-German American. When Charles Bowsher took over GAO in 1981 and ran it for the next 15 years, he focused on getting rid of GAO employees who were Republican, White, male, older, non-veteran, and/or who had accounting degrees from non-Ivy League Universities and who had not made GS-13 (currently $102,188) by age 25, GS-14 (currently $120,755) by age 30, GS-15 (currently $142,041) by age 35, and Senior Executive Service (currently $172,500) by age 40. Extremely few GAO employees make the aforesaid promotion deadlines. My Democrat GAO superiors did everything that they could to get rid of me because I was Republican, White, male, old, non-veteran, my 1980 master’s degree in accounting was from DePaul, Protestant, German American, I had taken a $20,361/year in today’s dollars pay cut (a downgrade from GS-12 Step 5 to GS-9 Step 10) to transfer from IRS to GAO, I did not make GS-13 until I was 38 years old in 1986, I never made GS-14, and in 1987, they had gotten rid of the GS-15 GAO manager who had hired me in 1980, got me assigned to audits of IRS in 1986, and promoted me in 1986.. My Democrat GAO superiors would have gotten rid of me sooner if I had not earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976, passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981, became a licensed CPA in 1981, became a Certified Fraud Examiner in 1990, became a Certified Government Financial Manager in 1994, became a Certified Financial Services Auditor in 1996, became a Forensic Accountant in 1997, and earned a master’s degree in financial markets and trading in 1997.)

DEMOCRATIC PARTY
— THE CURRENT COMMITTEE SYSTEM (COMMENT: GAO works for Congress. While I worked for the Democrats who ran GAO for almost 18 years, they periodically asked GAO employees for suggestions on how to improve GAO’s credibility with Republican Senators and Representatives. I suggested having at least two Republicans on GAO audit teams for every three Democrats. I also suggested not doing audits unless at least one of the requesters was Republican.)
https://archives-democrats-rules.house.gov/Archives/jcoc2d.htm
(FROM THE RULES: Party leaders also determine the ratio of majority to minority party members on each committee. Under current Democratic Caucus Rules, each standing committee (except Standards) must have at least three Democrats for every two Republicans. While this ratio roughly approximates the ratio of Democrats to Republicans in the overall Chamber, the majority party usually accords itself a super-majority on important panels including Appropriations, Budget, Rules, and Ways and Means.)

https://news.wttw.com/2021/12/15/lightfoot-decries-segregation-city-council-defies-aldermanic-prerogative-approve
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The 33-13 vote by the Chicago City Council represents a nearly unprecedented rebuke of the decades-old tradition of giving alderpeople the final say over housing developments in their wards. Critics of that practice, which is the subject of a federal probe, contend it has created a hyper-segregated city rife with racism and gentrification. Mayor Lori Lightfoot echoed that judgment moments before the vote, which capped a more than three-year odyssey that became a major flashpoint in the high-stakes effort to combat systemic racism in Chicago.)

Take a Look at History. – Abigail Susik (COMMENT: I can always ask myself what if I had not accepted Oldsmobile’s job offer in 1971 when I was 22 years old. Firestone fired me because I accepted that job offer. Then Oldsmobile withdrew its job offer saying that it had just agreed to stop hiring Whites to settle an EEOC complaint. That directly resulted in my accepting a job offer from IRS.)

Members of those protected groups include Blacks, Hispanics, Asians, Native Americans, females, LGBTQers, younger people, Trump-haters, moderates, liberals, Democrats, Libertarians, Greens, Independents, RINOs, criminals, boozers, gamblers, stoners, non-patriotic people, non-rich people, non-gun owners, non-married people, parents, citizens of foreign countries, non-Christians, non-Protestants, non-Italian Americans, non-German Americans, and/or those whose ancestors have not been in America for a long time.)

WASHINGTON POST
— More Americans than usual have been changing parties. Why? – Sean Bock and Landon Schnabel (COMMENT: I should write a book about Democrat plants, Libertarian plants, Green plants, Independent plants, and RINOs who have painted themselves the most since 2000 as being anti-conservative, that is, being anti-platform Republican, that is, being anti-Republican: a) past and present leaders of the Illinois Republican Party, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Milton Township Republican Organization, b) past and present Republican leaders of Illinois, DuPage County, Milton Township, Wheaton, Wheaton Park District, and Wheaton Chamber of Commerce, c) conservative and religious leaders, d) Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct, their political consultants, major donors, fundraisers, pollsters, campaign managers, campaign staff members, and campaign volunteers, and e) those who I have sued.

DALLAS NEWS
— In Donald Trump’s GOP, no one is too extreme (COMMENT: In Illinois, DuPage County, Milton Township, and Wheaton, the more of the following planks in the Republican Party platform that you support, the more that you are demonized, denigrated, and condemned as being an extremist: traditional marriage/family, right to life, immigration, illegal drugs, Second Amendment, and equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving). Because I support all of the aforesaid planks, the Illinois Republican Party, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Milton Township Republican (MTRO) have always done everything that they can a) to stop me from sending out GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters and b) to stop everyone from reading those newsletters. This year, they stopped me from raising funds from DuPage Republicans so that DuPage Republicans could help sponsor Wheaton’s Independence Day parade and fireworks. In 2015, the gerrymandered my precinct. In 2012, they ended my TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois chairmanship. In 2011, they ended my Wheaton Chamber of Commerce Government Affairs Committee membership. In 2010 and 2004, they ended my MTRO webmaster service. In 2007, they ended my Illinois Center Right Coalition Steering Committee membership. In 2004, they viciously ended my bid for MTRO Treasurer and ended my American Association of Political Consultants Midwest Chapter board membership.)

HERALD TIMES
— Monroe County Indiana GOP chair resigning; young vice chair to run for post in Saturday’s caucus – Rachel Smith (COMMENT: Ever-increasingly, the Illinois Republican Party, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, Milton Township Republican Organization, etc. are under pressure from Democrats, Libertarians, Greens, Independents, and RINOs to recruit, to retain, and to promote precinct committeemen who are minority, female, younger, LGBTQ, Trump-haters, moderate, liberal, non-Christian, non-Protestant, non-Italian American, non-German American, and/or those whose ancestors have not been in America for a long time, that is, to not recruit, to not retain, to not promote, and to get rid of precinct committeemen who are White, male, older, heterosexual, non-Trump haters, conservative, Christian, Protestant, Italian American, German American, and/or those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time. Democrats, Libertarians, Greens, Independents, and RINOs want Republican candidates to lose elections.)
https://sports.yahoo.com/monroe-county-gop-chair-resigning-112256786.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: According to Ellis, a party chairperson can be a highly influential position as they will have the responsibility of promoting local turnout during elections and recruiting potential candidates. Elaine Thomsen, the county GOP’s secretary, will preside over the caucus, and the party’s precinct committeemen and vice precinct committeemen will be its voting members.)

CONVERSATION
— How the Native American population in the US increased 87% says more about whiteness than about demographics (COMMENT: I should write a book that compares and contrasts how the Democrats who ran GAO’s Chicago office 1980-1997 treated their Native American employees verses their White employees. I would focus on the preferential treatment, including not being forced to take early retirement, that the office’s Native American employees got.)
https://theconversation.com/how-the-native-american-population-in-the-us-increased-87-says-more-about-whiteness-than-about-demographics-170920
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Birth rates among Native Americans don’t explain the massive rise in numbers. And there certainly is no evidence of an influx of Native American expatriates returning to the U.S. Instead, individuals who previously identified as white are now claiming to be Native American. This growing movement has been captured by terms like “pretendian” and “wannabe.” Another way to describe this recent adoption of Native American identity is what I call “racial shifting.” These people are fleeing not from political and social persecution, but from whiteness.)

— Cancel culture isn’t real – Daniel Schwalm (COMMENT: My critics/opponents cancel those like me a) who they cannot manipulate/dominate, b) who refuse to glorify and praise them, c) who refuse to pander to them, c) who refuse to serve as one of their operatives or dupes, d) who refuse to cover up their wrong doing, and/or e) who refuse to give them money. I should write a book about my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes.)

HISTORY NEWS NETWORK
— SEVEN EX-PRESIDENTS HAVE TRIED TO RECLAIM THE OFFICE. WILL THERE BE AN EIGHTH? – Ronald L. Feinman
https://historynewsnetwork.org/blog/154567
(FROM THE ARTICLE: If he ends up running, Trump would be the 8th former president to attempt to return to the office. Only one, Grover Cleveland, was successful. Three others—Martin Van Buren, Millard Fillmore, and Theodore Roosevelt—-ran as third party candidates. Three others—Ulysses S. Grant, Herbert Hoover, and Gerald Ford— attempted to run after leaving the Presidency, but failed to accomplish that goal. . .Grover Cleveland (1885-1889) (1893-1897) is the only president to win, then lose, and then regain the presidency. In an era of Republican dominance, the conservative Cleveland was the only Democratic president between James Buchanan before the Civil War and Woodrow Wilson in 1913. He is best remembered for supporting the Interstate Commerce Act (1887), supporting a lower protective tariff that only came about in his second term, demonstrating white supremacist views toward African Americans, native Americans, and Asian Americans, intervening in the suppression of the Pullman Strike of 1894 in his second term, and opposing the western free silver crusade headed by William Jennings Bryan in 1896. Cleveland also appointed four Supreme Court Justices in his two terms, and utilized the veto power more times than any president, except for Franklin D. Roosevelt. Cleveland was also an anti imperialist, refusing to annex Hawaii when Benjamin Harrison tried to arrange a treaty as he left office in 1893, refusing to intervene directly in the Cuban war against their Spanish masters in 1895, and opposing the Spanish American War and American intervention in the Filipino Insurrection under his successor, William McKinley.)

PSY POST
— Exposure to partisan news is not associated with polarization, study finds – Mane Kara-Yakoubian (COMMENT: What do you say to my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes who hint/imply/argue/shout that my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters cause Republican candidates in Illinois to lose general elections a) because conservatives cannot win general elections in Illinois and b) because I paint Republican candidates as being far more conservative than they are? I should write a book about my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes in Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois who have blamed my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters the most for losses that Republican candidates on general election ballots in my precinct have suffered since 2000.)

HUMAN RESOURCES DIRECTOR
— At-will employment: Everything you need to know – Coann Labitoria (COMMENT: Far too many Republican county, township, and ward party chairmen in Illinois prefer having precincts to be vacant than having a precinct committeeman/captain who they cannot manipulate/dominate.)

— Republicans are betting that Democrats have gone too far in addressing systemic racism — so they’re leaning into culture wars over school curriculum, college admissions, voting rights, hiring practices and policing. – Margaret Talev

LGBTQ NATION
— Joe Biden appoints out gay man to lead the White House’s personnel office. LGBTQ leaders and advocates are cheering the news of Gautam Raghavan’s new appointment as the head of hiring within the White House. – Juwan J. Holmes (COMMENT: I do not promote LGBTQ. I should write a book about the many adverse actions that LGBTQ-promoters, their operatives, and their dupes have taken against me. This year, they stopped me from raising funds from DuPage Republicans so that DuPage Republicans could help sponsor Wheaton’s Independence Day parade and fireworks.)
