— Elgin police chief wants to college degree dropped from list of requirements for officer hires – GLORIA CASAS (DIERSEN: To facilitate hiring and promoting Democrats who are minority and/or female, the Democrats who run the federal government have dropped many hiring and promotion requirements. 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.)

June 10 Morning Edition

ABC7
— JULY 4, 2016 FLASHBACK: Politicking at Independence Day parades (DIERSEN: Republicans who participated in Wheaton’s outstanding 2016 Independence Day Parade included: U.S. Senator Mark Kirk; Governor Bruce Rauner, First Lady Diana Rauner, and Lieutenant Governor Evelyn Sanguinetti; State Senator Mike Connelly and State Representative Jeanne Ives; State Representative Peter Breen; DuPage County Board candidate Tim Elliott, DuPage County Board members Grant Eckhoff and Amy Grant, and DuPage County Forest Preserve Commissioner Tim Whelan; and the Milton Township Republican Organization. Please thank those who helped promote/sponsor the parade and the fireworks: Bob Berlin, Peter Breen, Liam Brennan, Fred Bucholz, Mike Connelly, Tim Elliott, Amy Grant, Gwen Henry, Jeanne Ives, Richard Jorgensen, Chris Kachiroubas, Mark Kirk, Brian Krajewski, Bob Lyon, Deanne Mazzochi, James Mendrick, Chris Nybo, Peter Roskam, Darlene Ruscitti, Phil Suess, Tim Whelan, and Jim Zay. SEE: https://gopillinois.com/uncategorized/july-4-evening-edition/ )
https://abc7chicago.com/politics/politicking-at-independence-day-parades/1413028/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: In Republican-rich Wheaton, one guy yelled at Governor Bruce Rauner to balance the state’s budget. “Balance the budget! Balance the budget!” yelled Buzz Ruttenberg at the governor. “I blame everyone, but he is the leader and when the ship is sinking you look to the captain,” said Ruttenberg when asked who he blamed for the Illinois budget crisis. ABC7 Eyewitness News spoke with a Wheaton resident Kahty Corniels who was trying to deliver a message to the governor via a sign saying, “No budget; no votes.” “I think he saw it. I don’t think he wants to make eye contact with me,” said Corniels. “I’m just tired of it. These are adults. We elected them and they can’t even make a decision on how to run the state.” The governor wasn’t much into straying from the script today. “Do you hear from people as you march about what’s going on in Springfield about the budget?” ABC7 Eyewitness News reporter Ben Bradley asked the governor. “No, today we celebrate the independence of America,” said Rauner. Nationally, Hillary Clinton had several supporters marching in Wheaton’s parade, but next to no one showed up on Donald Trump’s behalf, despite the fact the county is overwhelmingly Republican. Then again, the state’s GOP senator has said he won’t vote for Trump. “You were the first to come out and say Trump is unfit. Does that mean you’re voting for Hillary Clinton?” Bradley asked Illinois Republican Sen. Mark Kirk. “No, David Petraeus is who I’d like to write-in. I think he’s better qualified. We need someone who will be the best commander-in-chief we’ve ever had,” said Sen. Kirk.)
— 2nd Drag March for Change Chicago planned for Sunday – Will Jones (DIERSEN: Ever-increasingly, Democrats promote BLM and LGBTQ.)
https://abc7chicago.com/community-events/chicago-drag-queens-planning-2nd-blm-march-/10768191/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: After the murder of George Floyd last year Jo MaMa organized the Drag March for Change. “I was just like let’s do this. Let’s get all my drag brothers and sisters together and try to make a change,” they said. The march brought thousands of people together on the North Side in support of the Black Lives Matter movement. MaMa is now organizing another march Sunday afternoon beginning at Belmont and Halsted. “We are still being shot down in the streets. We are still being treated as second class citizens and now people are paying attention. There really seems to be hope,” they said. This year organizers are pushing for cutting the Chicago Police Department budget and investing more in social services and community programs. They also want uniformed police officers banned at Pride festivities. Organizers said it’s important for members of the LGBTQI+ community to speak up about racial injustices. “We have always been the trailblazers. We have always been the front runners. We are the ones that shake things up and make the change. We are also extremely creative,” MaMa said. Tatyana Chante, who is one the Drag March for Change organizers, said that bringing about change takes time. “I’m hoping that people realize last year wasn’t just a one off, one and done,” he said. “This is a continuation. This is going to take work.” MaMa said drag is not required for the march and all allies are welcome to participate.)

The Democrats who run the federal government require all their employees to take lots of diversity training. I worked for the Democrats who ran the federal government for almost 30 years. I should write a book about all the diversity training that I took. That training hinted/implied/argued/shouted that Republicans are White supremacists, Nazis, KKK members, haters, racists, sexists, bigots, and even worse things who should gotten rid of once and for all. That helps explain why federal employees who are Democrat do not want to work for, work with, or supervise federal employees who are Republican. Virtually all federal employees are Democrats.)

GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— Democrats stop Republicans from helping sponsor Wheaton’s 2021 Independence Day parade and fireworks – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com

(THE ARTICLE: Since 2005, Republicans have helped sponsor Wheaton’s Independence Day parades and fireworks, but this year, Democrats stopped that.

Next, of course, Democrats will stop Republican candidates and the Milton Township Republican Organization (MTRO) from having entries in the parades.

Democrats can stress that none of the following have spoken in opposition to Democrats stopping Republicans from sponsoring Wheaton’s 2021 Independence Day parade and fireworks: a) MTRO leaders Chris LeVan, Chairman; Yadav Nathwani, Vice Chairman; John Monino, Secretary; and Beth Tatro, Treasurer; b) DuPage County Republican Central Committee leaders Jim Zay, Chairman; Deanna Wilkins, Honorary Chairman; Paul Hinds, Secretary; and Gwen Henry, Treasurer; and c) Illinois Republican Party leaders Don Tracy, Chairman; Mark Shaw, Co-Chairman; Mike Bigger, Secretary; Judy Dieklman, Treasurer; and 18 State Central Committee members including Bob Grogan.

Further, Democrats can stress that MTRO Secretary John Monino spoke very strongly during Wheaton’s June 7, 2021 City Council meeting in favor of Michael Bernard, the Wheaton Park District Executive Director, who has successfully led the effort to stop Republicans from helping sponsor Wheaton’s 2021 Independence Day parade and fireworks.

As I have done since 2005, I again stand ready, willing, and able to again raise $2,500 from DuPage Republicans so that they can again be the top sponsor for Wheaton’s Independence Day parade and fireworks.

Sadly, so far, I have not been able to confirm that the Wheaton Park District has contracted with bagpipers or Wheaton high school bands to march in the parade.

The following Republicans donated money to help sponsor Wheaton’s 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, and/or 2019 Independence Day parades and fireworks: Michael Barbier, Bob Berlin, Peter Breen, Liam Brennan, Fred Bucholz, Roger Claar, Mike Connelly, Dan Cronin, David Diersen, Grant Eckhoff, Tim Elloitt, Paul Fullerton, Amy Grant, Chris Heidorn, Gwen Henry, Paul Hinds, Babette Holder, Jeanne Ives, Robert Jacobsen, Richard Jorgensen, Chris Kachiroubas, Marty Keller, Mark Kmiecik, Mark Kirk, Brian Krajewski, Bob Larsen, Robert Lyon, Jeff MacKay, Deanne Mazzochi, Paula McGowen, James Mendrick, Dave Molitor, John Monino, Chris Nybo, Karyn Romano, Evelyn Sanguinetti, Peter Roskam, Darlene Ruscitti, Phil Suess, Brian Telander, John Vires, Ann Celine Walsh, Tim Whelan, Kevin Wiley, Karen Wilson, John Zaruba, and Jim Zay.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE; The bill would limit employers to “bona fide” factors such as education, training and experience when justifying pay differentials in wage discrimination claims. Employers would also be prohibited from retaliating against workers who compare salaries and barred from inquiring about prospective employees’ salary histories during the hiring process. The bill would further direct the Labor Department to establish a grant program providing negotiation skills and training for girls and women.)

— My critics/opponents want the following to be a front page top of fold newspaper headline: “Democrats stop DuPage Republicans from helping sponsor Wheaton’s 2021 Independence Day Parade and Fireworks.” – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com
(THE ARTICLE: I looks like those who want to stop DuPage Republicans from helping sponsor Wheaton’s 2021 Independence Day parade and fireworks are going to win. During Wheaton’s City Council meeting yesterday evening, none of the leaders of the Milton Township Republican Organization (MTRO), DuPage County Republican Central Committee (DCRCC), or Illinois Republican Party (IRP) spoke in favor of letting DuPage Republicans help sponsor the parade and fireworks. Further, the Milton Township Supervisor and MTRO Secretary John Monino spoke very strongly in favor of Michael Bernard, the Wheaton Park District Executive Director, who is leading the effort to stop DuPage Republicans from helping sponsor Wheaton’s Independence Day parades and fireworks.

As I have done since 2005, I again stand ready, willing, and able to again raise $2,500 from DuPage Republicans so that they can again be the top sponsor for Wheaton’s Independence Day parade and fireworks.

Sadly, so far, I have not been able to confirm that the Wheaton Park District has contracted with bagpipers or Wheaton high school bands to march in the parade.

The following include those who want to stop DuPage Republicans from helping sponsor Wheaton’s Independence Day parades and fireworks:

— Democrats, Libertarians, Greens, Independents, and RINOs in Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois who want to punish Trump by punishing Republicans in Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois;

— Those who want to stop me from raising funds from DuPage Republicans to help sponsor Wheaton’s Independence Day parades and fireworks;

June 4 Morning Edition

GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— Email that I sent Wheaton and Wheaton Park District Leaders this morning with CCs to Milton Township Republican Organization, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Illinois Republican Party Leaders – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com


(THE EMAIL: Please allow DuPage Republicans to help sponsor Wheaton’s 2021 Independence Day Parade.

As we all know, Wheaton’s Independence Day Parades have always been very important. DuPage County has more residents than six states and Wheaton is its County Seat. Bob Dole walked in the parade in 1996. The Obamas walked in the parade in 2004. Many U.S. Senators, U.S. Representatives, Illinois statewide officials, Illinois Senators, Illinois Representatives, DuPage countywide officials, DuPage County District officials, judges, and justices have walked in the parades.

Since 2005, DuPage Republicans have helped sponsor Wheaton’s Independence Day Parades. For many years, DuPage Republicans have been the parade’s top sponsor by contributing $2,500 with $1,200 earmarked for the combined Wheaton North and Wheaton-Warrenville South Bands and $1,000 earmarked for bagpipers. I have had the honor of raising those contributions from Republican candidates, Republican elected officials, and Republican party leaders. In 2007, I raised an additional $2,000 from Republicans for an elephant to walk behind Peter Roskam in the parade.

But yesterday, Wheaton Park District Superintendent of Marketing & Special Events Amy Seklecki advised me by phone that for this year’s parade, parade sponsorships will not be allowed. I told her that I would appeal that decision.

For many years, Wheaton has given the Wheaton Park District $30,000 a year with $20,000 earmarked for fireworks and $10,000 earmarked for parade entries. I certainly hope that the Illinois Republican Party, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Milton Township Republican Organization are encouraging all the candidates who will be on 2022 Republican primary ballots in DuPage County, Milton Township, and especially Wheaton a) to have an entry in Wheaton’s 2021 Independence Day Parade and b) help sponsor the parade. This is especially true for Republican candidates for U.S. Senator, U.S. Representative, Illinois statewide offices, Illinois Senator, Illinois Representative, DuPage countywide offices, DuPage district offices, and judicial races.

Republican entries in Wheaton’s outstanding 2019 Independence Day Parade were Bob Berlin, Amy Grant, Chris Kachiroubas, Evelyn Sanguinetti, Ann Celine Walsh, and Milton Township Republican Central Committee. Those who walked with the entries included Almiron, Anderson, Carlson, Caruso, Colgan, Collins, Falbo, Fisher, Furstenau, Ives, Keller, LeVan, Marquardt, Marshall, Monino, Muehlfelt, Nathwani, Ruhl, Ryan, Saake, Shaw, and Whelan. With their $2,500 contribution, “DuPage County Republicans” were again the top sponsor for the parade and fireworks. Contributions were: $500 from Roger Claar; $250 each from Berlin, Sanguinetti, Phil Suess, and Tim Whelan; and $100 each from Michael Barbier, Grant Eckhoff, Tim Elliott, Grant, Chris Heidorn, Babette Holder, Jeanne Ives, Marty Keller, Bob Larsen, and Walsh. I hand-delivering 500 flyers (printed courtesy of Alpha Graphics) to the residences and businesses on the parade route that included the Republican entries in the parade, the sponsor’s names, and the amounts they contributed.

Again, please allow DuPage Republicans to help sponsor Wheaton’s 2021 Independence Day Parade.

Thanks,
Dave Diersen

GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— In his June 4, 2021 8:36 AM email to me with CCs to all the Wheaton, Wheaton Park District, Milton Township Republican Organization, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Illinois Republican Party Leaders, Wheaton Park District Executive Director Michael Benard stated: “While we are not accepting “sponsorships” for any aspect of the parade, you are welcome to make a general donation in support of the parade. It is not appropriate for the park district to sell sponsorships to political parties specifically identified to support the school district marching bands and we will not do so. As local governments, our elections and mission related activities are non-partisan. If your organization chooses to make a parade donation, it will be accepted with gratitude. Please know that it will not be appropriate for you to claim “sponsorship” of any school district or park district parade entries. I look forward to seeing you and those you represent on Independence Day as we all come together to celebrate our great Nation and our freedom.”

I responded to Mr. Benard and all the aforesaid leaders with the following: “Needless-to-say, your new Wheaton Independence Day parade policy statement is a complete and dramatic reversal of Wheaton Independence Day parade policy that has been in place since at least 2005. Needless-to-say, any such complete and dramatic Wheaton Independence Day parade policy reversal would have to  be voted on and passed by the Wheaton City Council before it could be implemented.” – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com

(CORRECTION: In yesterday evening’s newsletter, I erroneously left out the word “not.” The sentence should read “But today, Wheaton Park District Superintendent of Marketing & Special Events Amy Seklecki advised me by phone that for this year’s parade, parade sponsorships will not be allowed.”)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: “For many CPS graduates, the college experience is far less straightforward than going to a four-year university or transferring from a two-year school. While many graduates enroll in two-year colleges as a ‘steppingstone,’ that’s not always how it works out. More than three-quarters of students in the CPS class of 2011 who went straight to a two-year college reported that they planned to complete at least a bachelor’s degree, according to the UChicago report. But only around one-fifth transferred to a four-year school,”)

GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— CALL FOR ACTION: Please email the following ASAP and urge them to let DuPage County Republicans help sponsor Wheaton’s 2021 Independence Day Parade: Wheaton Mayor Philip Suess at psuess@wheaton.il.us and Councilman East District Michael Barbier at mbarbier@wheaton.il.us and Councilman North District Scott Brown at sbrown@wheaton.il.us and Councilwoman At-Large Erica Bray-Parker at ebrayparker@wheaton.il.us and Councilwoman At-Large Suzanne Fitch at sfitch@wheaton.il.us  and Councilwoman West District Lynn Robbins at lrobbins@wheaton.il.us and Councilman South District Scott Weller at sweller@wheaton.il.us  and Wheaton Park District President Bob Frey and Vice President John Kelly and Commissioners John Kelly and William Barrett and Kevin Fahey and Terry Mee and Ray Morrill and John Vires at commissioners@wheatonparks.org .
http://www.gopillinois.com

(BACKGROUND: Wheaton’s Independence Day Parades have always been very important. DuPage County has more residents than six states and Wheaton is its County Seat. Bob Dole walked in the parade in 1996. The Obamas walked in the parade in 2004. Many U.S. Senators, U.S. Representatives, Illinois statewide officials, Illinois Senators, Illinois Representatives, DuPage countywide officials, DuPage County District officials, judges, and justices have walked in the parades.

Since 2005, DuPage Republicans have helped sponsor Wheaton’s Independence Day Parades. For many years, DuPage Republicans have been the parade’s top sponsor by contributing $2,500 with $1,200 earmarked for the combined Wheaton North and Wheaton-Warrenville South Bands and $1,000 earmarked for bagpipers. I have had the honor of raising those contributions from Republican candidates, Republican elected officials, and Republican party leaders. In 2007, I raised an additional $2,000 from Republicans for an elephant to walk behind Peter Roskam in the parade. But today, Wheaton Park District Superintendent of Marketing & Special Events Amy Seklecki advised me by phone that for this year’s parade, parade sponsorships will not be allowed. I told her that I would appeal that decision. For many years, Wheaton has given the Wheaton Park District $30,000 a year with $20,000 earmarked for fireworks and $10,000 earmarked for parade entries.

I certainly hope that the Illinois Republican Party, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Milton Township Republican Organization are encouraging all the candidates who will be on 2022 Republican primary ballots in DuPage County, Milton Township, and especially Wheaton a) to have an entry in Wheaton’s 2021 Independence Day Parade and b) help sponsor the parade. This is especially true for Republican candidates for U.S. Senator, U.S. Representative, Illinois statewide offices, Illinois Senator, Illinois Representative, DuPage countywide offices, DuPage district offices, and judicial races.

Republican entries in Wheaton’s outstanding 2019 Independence Day Parade were Bob Berlin, Amy Grant, Chris Kachiroubas, Evelyn Sanguinetti, Ann Celine Walsh, and Milton Township Republican Central Committee. Those who walked with the entries included Almiron, Anderson, Carlson, Caruso, Colgan, Collins, Falbo, Fisher, Furstenau, Ives, Keller, LeVan, Marquardt, Marshall, Monino, Muehlfelt, Nathwani, Ruhl, Ryan, Saake, Shaw, and Whelan. With their $2,500 contribution, “DuPage County Republicans” were again the top sponsor for the parade and fireworks. Contributions were: $500 from Roger Claar; $250 each from Berlin, Sanguinetti, Phil Suess, and Tim Whelan; and $100 each from Michael Barbier, Grant Eckhoff, Tim Elliott, Grant, Chris Heidorn, Babette Holder, Jeanne Ives, Marty Keller, Bob Larsen, and Walsh. I hand-delivering 500 flyers (printed courtesy of Alpha Graphics) to the residences and businesses on the parade route that included the Republican entries in the parade, the sponsor’s names, and the amounts they contributed.

Information on the parade and fireworks is at https://wheatonparkdistrict.com/events/july4/

Again, please email the aforesaid Wheaton and Wheaton Park District officials ASAP and urge them to let DuPage County Republicans help sponsor Wheaton’s 2021 Independence Day Parade.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: A conservative media outlet and one of its white reporters sued Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot on Thursday, alleging their free speech and civil rights were violated last week when she only granted interviews marking her two-year anniversary in office to reporters of color. Thomas Catenacci, and the Daily Caller News Foundation for which he is a national reporter, filed a lawsuit in federal court in Illinois a week after Lightfoot’s decision led to conservative backlash as well as a renewed debate about diversity in the media. “Preventing journalists from doing our jobs in such a blatantly discriminatory way is wrong and does a disservice to our readers who come from all backgrounds,” Catenacci wrote in a statement. “I look forward to holding the mayor accountable.” Catenacci is being represented by the Chicago-based Svenson Law Offices as well as the conservative group Judicial Watch.)

(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.)

Ever-increasingly, because I am Republican, White, male, and born in 1948, my work experience, education, professional certifications, and professional license meant nothing.

— DIERSEN HEADLINE: Should employers be forced to pay higher salaries for “bad” jobs? I am one of those a) who took “bad” jobs but then b) who qualified themselves for better paying jobs rather than collect unemployment. 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.
