— Trump demand to ax Section 230 could alter Americans’ online lives – Ryan Lovelace
(DIERSEN: I should write a book about those who have focused on destroying me for my including links in GOPUSA emails to articles they do not like. I would focus on a) those who have lots of religious, government, political, and/or financial clout in Wheaton’s West District, Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County’s 4th District, DuPage County, and/or Illinois, b) those who have been Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct, their political consultants, their major donors, their campaign managers, their campaign staff members, and/or their campaign volunteers, c) those who are/were leaders of the Milton Township Republican Organization, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, Illinois Republican Party, Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, and/or Illinois, and d) those who are/were leaders of TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois, Wheaton Chamber of Commerce, Illinois Center Right Coalition, and/or American Association of Political Consultants Midwest Chapter.

https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2020/dec/31/trump-demand-to-ax-section-230-could-alter-america/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Mr. Trump and his supporters want the legal protection stripped from companies such as Twitter and Facebook so that they can swing back at social media platforms that they believe censor or diminish conservative speech online. But removing the protection contained in Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act would give Twitter and Facebook greater latitude to enforce broader restrictions because failing to do so could result in heavy fines and expensive legal disputes. Eliminating the legal protection would make Twitter liable for all of the content in users’ tweets, make Facebook liable for all the content across its various platforms including Instagram, and make Wikipedia liable for whatever edits users make and the content they post. The biggest tech companies can afford to lawyer up against the ensuing onslaught of complaints in a manner that their smaller competitors cannot, and they would move quickly to change the boundaries of what is acceptable to publish online.)

(DIERSEN: I should write a book about elected officials and party leaders who have turned on those like me who helped elect them. I would focus on Republican candidates who have been on ballots in my precinct since 2000. I would focus on those who have led the Milton Township Republican Organization, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Illinois Republican Party since 2000. I would focus on those who have led TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois, Wheaton Chamber of Commerce, Illinois Center Right Coalition, and American Association of Political Consultants Midwest Chapter since 2000.)
https://www.mediaite.com/news/gop-congressman-slams-mark-levin-over-calling-him-a-reckless-politician-godfather-of-outrage-for-profit/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: “Adam Kinzinger is very devious and reckless politician. He was elected as a Tea Party candidate 10 years ago and quickly turned on them,” the Fox News host tweeted. “He is now an activist for the administrative state and against constitutionalists.” Levin proceeded to take additional swings at Kinzinger. “Unsurprisingly, he’s celebrated by the Dem-Party media. His attack on those earnestly trying to fix what the Dems broke during this election cycle & their efforts to prevent further usurpations of the Constitution (as they’ve announced their intentions), is unconscionable,” Levin added. “He should be defeated at the ballot box in the next Republican primary. Then he can join CNN or MSNBC as a full-time, conservative-trashing contributor,” Levin concluded. . .“I guess I hit a nerve. Don’t flatter yourself, Hollywood. And don’t worry about my finances. I pay your overpaid salary. Just do your damn job,” Levin tweeted.)

(DIERSEN: To deny me whatever protections that journalists have, my critics/opponents have hinted/implied/argued/shouted that I am not a journalist. They hinted/implied/argued/shouted that I am merely an operative or a dupe for those who they want to destroy.

https://www.thejakartapost.com/news/2020/12/30/us-eu-urge-release-of-wuhan-citizen-journalist-.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The United States and European Union on Tuesday demanded that China release a citizen journalist jailed for reports from Wuhan, with top US diplomat Mike Pompeo accusing Beijing of covering up COVID-19. Zhang Zhan, a former lawyer in custody since May, was Monday handed four years in prison over her early online accounts that provided a rare unvarnished glimpse of the city where the mysterious respiratory illness was first detected a year ago. Pompeo in a statement called on China to “release her immediately and unconditionally.” “The Chinese Communist Party has shown once again it will do whatever it takes to silence those who question the party’s official line, even regarding crucial public health information,” outgoing President Donald Trump’s secretary of state said. Zhang’s reports challenged Beijing’s official narrative that the government valiantly defeated the virus, questioning hospital capacity and access to virus testing in the early days and showing aggression on the part of Chinese authorities to her filming on her phone. The 37-year-old was sentenced by a Shanghai court for “picking quarrels and provoking trouble.” Pompeo is an outspoken critic of Beijing who has attacked China over its role in the origins of the pandemic, which has claimed more than 1.7 million lives worldwide.)

Ms. Foor pitched in, starting at the age of 14, working at Dunkin’ Donuts and McDonald’s. “I saw the middle-aged people working there and I thought, ‘If I don’t go to college, that’s going to be me,’” she said. “I don’t think how I grew up is necessarily a bad thing,” she continued. “It taught me the value of a dollar and what it means to work hard and I never look down on another person.

My CSRS pension is dramatically less because 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 $20,157 (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980.)

What my Democrat GAO superiors told potential employers prompted me to sue my Democrat GAO superiors. But even if they had said nothing, the adverse actions that they had taken against me would stop any potential employer from offering me a job. In addition to forcing me to retire, they had given 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 $20,157 (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980. )

He fought type 1 diabetes from age 14 and died suddenly of heart failure in 1969 when he was 47 and I was 21. He worked in the office of a nasty chemical plant in Chicago Heights. He almost always worked second jobs to pay the family’s bills. He did not buy a new car until he was 45 and it was a bottom of the line 2-door Chevy. My mother never attended high school and never worked outside of the home until after my father died.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: President Trump’s expected announcement that he’ll run for president again in 2024 allows him “to freeze the Republican Party in place,” Axios’ Jonathan Swan reports. The timing isn’t imminent, but when it happens, “he will try to control the Republican National Committee … and he’s going to try to squash the prospective 2024 Republican field.” And to those Republicans who want to run in 2024 themselves and hope Trump will walk off into the sunset: “He ain’t doing that.”)

https://www.dailyherald.com/discuss/20201111/a-salute-to-all-veterans
— Rollback the rollback – Evelyn Sanguinetti – Executive Director, HOPE Fair Housing Center (DIERSEN: In 1972, when I was 24 years old, I could afford to buy a new town home in University Park, but I could not have afforded to buy that new town home if it had been in a more expensive municipality, township, or county. In 1978, my wife and I could afford to buy a home in Wheaton, but we could not have afforded to buy that home if it had been in a more expensive municipality, township, or county. In 1984, my wife and I could afford to have a new home built in Wheaton, but we could not have afforded to have that home built in a more expensive municipality, township, or county. Since 1972, when I bought a new town home in University Park, my critics/opponents have hinted/implied/argued/shouted that because of discrimination against minorities and because of discrimination against females, if I had been a minority or a female, I would not have been able to buy that town home. The down payment for that town home came from what I had earned and saved a) working for IRS in Harvey for the prior 9 months and in Chicago for 6 months before that and b) working for the Firestone Store in Chicago Heights for the prior 18 months part-time and for 7 months before that full-time. That money also enabled me to a) buy a new Corvette in 1971 and b) pay tuition for graduate business courses at Loyola. Firestone hired me in 1970 because it could not find a qualified minority, female, or veteran who would take the job. In 1971, Oldsmobile withdrew a job offer that I had accepted saying that Oldsmobile had just agreed to stop hiring Whites to settle an EEOC complaint. That directly resulted in a) Firestone Stores firing me from full-time employment and b) my accepting a job offer from IRS. IRS hired me in 1971 because it could not find a qualified Democrat, minority, female, or veteran who would take the job. My wife and I bought a home in Wheaton in 1978. The down payment came from what she had earned and saved working for the U.S. League of Savings Institutions the prior 8 years and for the FBI for the 2 years before that. My wife and I had a home built in Wheaton in 1984. The down payment came from the sale of our Wheaton home and my University Park town home which I had rented out since 1976. By then, my wife had worked for the U.S. League of Savings Institutions for 14 years and I had worked for GAO for more than 4 years and for IRS for almost 9 years before that.)
https://www.dailyherald.com/discuss/20201116/rollback-the-rollback
(FROM THE LETTER: It’s no secret that institutional racism in housing disproportionately impacts Black, Native American and Latinx household, making the rollback more impactful on low-income renters of color. During this time, Americans are still trying to process George Floyd’s tragic death and have observed firsthand the glaring inequities in underserved communities with the administration’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Even the National Association of Realtors maintained that “now is not the time” to change a policy that could hinder progress against institutional racism in housing.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: There are lots of websites that compile political news, and I think it’s time I share one that I find quite interesting. There are lots of websites that compile political news, and I think it’s time I share one that I find quite interesting. It’s at www.gopillinois.com , and, as you can tell by its address, it has a Republican flavor. That is an understatement reinforced with the comments added by the compiler himself — DAVID DIERSEN of Wheaton. He introduced a recent UPI story about Republicans’ views on the drought and wildfires by saying: “Democrats blame everything bad, including bad weather, on Republicans, especially on Republicans who are conservative, White, male, older, non-poor and non-veteran.” And talking of a New York Times article about a photographer arrested while on assignment in the Bronx, Diersen wrote that since 2000, he has been thrown out of, barred from, or not advised of news conferences “by Democrats, Democrat plants, RINOs (Republicans in name only), their operatives, and their dupes.” Thus, if you don’t want to read some very pointed comments, you may not want to go to gopillinois.com. But you would be missing a treasure of links to the day’s news and opinion. Diersen, 63, is a retired federal employee who became the Illinois editor of a national GOP website in 2000, and since 2004 has put out his own Illinois compilation every day. There’s usually about 50 articles daily, he says. He’s generally up by 3 a.m. He says he spends at least 10 hours a day on this passion of his, with no pay, and has put out links to more than 117,000 articles. As his comments above hinted, party regulars don’t always greet his work with relish. He includes dissident voices within the GOP tent, and some whose credibility is questionable. But he puts it all out there. He’s a GOP precinct committeeman, and he believes in people having information. He also wants to help elect Republican candidates who “will defend and advance the party’s platform.” The site makes available plenty of Diersen history, too, including how his “liberal Democrat superiors,” in his view, forced him to take early retirement at 49 from the U.S. General Accounting Office, “because of his opposition to race and gender based preference and his participation in a class action lawsuit” on that subject. He wouldn’t mind my telling you that he also passed his CPA and Certified Internal Auditor exams on first attempts more than three decades ago. Agree or disagree with him, but Diersen provides a bunch of interesting information — every day.)

https://www.illinoistimes.com/springfield/titans-set-to-depart-sj-r/Content?oid=12835001
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A pair of heavyweights are leaving the State Journal-Register. Political writer and columnist Bernard Schoenburg and statehouse reporter Doug Finke have accepted buyouts and will be departing the paper on Dec. 1. Finke has worked at the SJ-R since the 1970s; Schoenburg’s first byline appeared in the paper in 1990. Their departures will leave the daily newspaper with two news reporters and an equal number of sports reporters, presuming Finke and Schoenburg are not replaced before their departures and current staff isn’t reassigned. The paper, which has no fulltime courts reporter or police reporter or city hall reporter or education reporter, has posted jobs for a statehouse/politics reporter as well as a cultural, diversity and inclusion reporter who will “focus coverage on culture, diversity and inclusion trends across central Illinois,” according to a job listing posted by Gannett, the SJ-R’s parent company.)

WASHINGTON FREE BEACON
— OUTSTANDING: Conservative Journalist Successfully Sues State of Minnesota for Access to Coronavirus Briefings State officials buckle, allowing PowerLine’s Scott Johnson to join media briefings – Collin Anderson (DIERSEN: I have been a conservative journalist since 2000. I should write a book about RINO candidates, RINO elected officials, and RINO party leaders who have barred me from their press briefings and taken other adverse actions against me. Better yet, I should sue them. They blame me and my GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails for their problems, for your problems, for my problems, and for everyone’s problems.

https://freebeacon.com/coronavirus/conservative-journalist-successfully-sues-state-of-minnesota-for-access-to-coronavirus-briefings/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A conservative journalist barred from Minnesota‘s daily coronavirus briefings successfully sued the state to regain access. In a settlement signed Friday, Minnesota’s Department of Health agreed to reinstate PowerLine cofounder Scott Johnson’s access to the state’s COVID-19 Conference Line “as long as and whenever” the department holds a briefing. Johnson sued the Department of Public Health when he was barred from their conference line in May without explanation. Johnson had until then participated in the calls and posed questions skeptical of Democratic governor Tim Walz’s approach to combating the coronavirus. Health department officials also stopped responding to Johnson’s written inquiries. Those officials told the Washington Free Beacon that the briefings were limited to “professional journalists,” but did not offer a definition of the term. In his lawsuit, Johnson argued that the state had discriminated against him on the basis of political ideology and demanded to be included in the briefings. The Minnesota Department of Public Health declined to comment on the settlement agreement. Johnson has been critical of the state’s handling of the pandemic, challenging Walz’s decision to keep the state shut down in April given that, at the time, more than 80 percent of Minnesota‘s coronavirus deaths occurred in nursing homes and residential care facilities. That number dipped to more than 70 percent as of mid-October, according to the Minneapolis Star Tribune. Johnson, a retired attorney and accredited reporter, argued that his exclusion constituted “an ongoing deprivation … [of his] First Amendment rights under the United States Constitution.” Friday’s settlement acknowledges his exclusion from the briefings and guarantees him immediate access: Health department communications director Michael Schommer is required under the agreement to answer up to three of Johnson’s pandemic-related questions per week.)

— Republicans sound alarm on Georgia Senate runoffs as they privately weigh Trump’s influence – Robert Costa and Tom Hamburger (DIERSEN: According to my critics/opponents, I have always been a “political burden” for Republican candidates. My critics/opponents shout at Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct who lose races that they lost because of me and because of my GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails. Previously, my critics/opponents shouted at them that they lost because of what I did as a TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois chairman, Wheaton Chamber of Commerce Government Affairs Committee member, Milton Township Republican Organization webmaster, Illinois Center Right Coalition Steering Committee member, and American Association of Political Consultants Midwest Chapter board member.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Republican leaders are increasingly alarmed about the party’s ability to stave off Democratic challengers in Georgia’s two Senate runoff elections — and they privately described President Trump on a recent conference call as a political burden who despite his false claims of victory was the likely loser of the 2020 election. . .Some on the call expressed particular concern about Georgia’s fast-changing electorate, driven by the increasingly liberal metro Atlanta region and the push by 2018 gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams to register more Democratic voters, especially in the state’s communities of color. Democrats hope that the candidate challenging Loeffler in the runoff, the Rev. Raphael Warnock — the pastor at Atlanta’s iconic Ebenezer Baptist Church, where the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. once preached — will help energize Black voters. Perdue, elected in 2014, faces Democrat Jon Ossoff, a documentary filmmaker running his first statewide race. “They changed, dramatically, the face of the electorate in Georgia. Many of these new voters are from California, Illinois, New York, New Jersey, and they’re not of the conservative persuasion,” Perdue said on the call.)

https://www.newsweek.com/trump-administration-officials-tough-time-new-jobs-1547859
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The presence of Trump loyalists in positions across the government has also had an effect on the jobs themselves. Rather than blacklist people for their affiliation alone, one Democratic congressional staffer who asked to remain anonymous told Newsweek that former administration officials should be judged based on their performance, which the staffer said often came second to ideology. “There are many appointees who were hired, promoted, or retained because of their loyalty to Trump and Trumpism,” the staffer said. “Many of these people actively harmed the very people and institutions they were charged with serving. They engaged in or were complicit in tremendous cruelty. Those are the reasons not to hire someone.” The staffer said this standard should apply to those who left office early as well, such as former Defense Secretary James Mattis, who has been critical of the commander-in-chief he served, but has not apologized for having implemented some of his controversial policies.)

https://www.ft.com/content/74d8a848-4dad-4017-9226-5deb0a005045

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Donald Trump gained a reputation as one of the most litigious real estate developers in the US. . .But to veterans of the New York City real estate world, the president’s actions since the November 3 election are familiar, and consistent with the playbook he honed for decades as a highly litigious property developer. . .“I don’t think he ever had a particularly impressive track record of winning anything. But he was sufficiently litigious that it was a deterrent.” Even in the litigious blood sport of New York real estate, Mr. Trump stood out.)

https://www.centralillinoisproud.com/news/local-news/indigenous-peoples-day-or-columbus-day-bloomington-council-will-decide-next-meeting/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The council instead voting to table the discussions, passing the ordinance to city staff who will work to create a new resolution. The idea came from council member Jenn Carrillo who says instead of celebrating Columbus local business leaders should encourage the community to learn the history of native Americans and grieve at how they were treated. She says this is not meant to deny someone a day of pride but rather begin reparations for actions she says still have affects today. “When we lift up Columbus’s history,” Carrillo said. “We are lifting up a history of colonialism, genocide and white supremacy. That has no place in our world in 2020.” Several community members spoke during public comment against Carrillo’s decision. Many believe renaming the day is seen as a way of reversing history. “Don’t listen to these people guilt you about Columbus,” said Becky Swan to the council. “That was 300 years ago, this is Bloomington, this is today, what are you going to do in 2020.”)

POLITICO ILLINOIS
— Republicans are fuming that the Illinois Supreme Court has replaced Justice Thomas Kilbride, who lost his retention race last week, with a Democratic ally, saying the judicial maneuver is a slap in the face to voters. Justices voted 6-0 to name Appellate Judge Robert Carter to the bench as a placeholder until an election is held in two years. Carter is 74 and says he won’t run. “This is an outrageous decision,” Jon Zahm, who heads the Vote No for Kilbride committee, posted on Facebook. “The voters made clear they did not want politics as usual on the Supreme Court, as they voted an end to the 4-3 Democrat stranglehold on blocking important issues like fair maps, pension reform, lawsuit reform, and term limits.” Zahm said the three Republican justices “should have voted no and left the seat unfilled until the next election.” The hand-wringing over Kilbride’s replacement comes after Zahm and other Republicans waged a fierce battle to remake the highest court. They say Kilbride is beholden to Madigan and they point to an opinion he wrote that removed a referendum on the 2016 ballot that would have taken away Madigan’s power on redistricting. The House speaker donated $550,000 to Kilbride’s campaign to stay on the bench — he won 56 percent of the vote but needed 60 percent to keep his seat. Former 3rd District Appellate Court Judge Kent Slater, a Republican, told the Tribune’s Ray Long that Carter had been Kilbride’s choice to hold an appointed seat on the appellate for several years. “It’s like the Supreme Court’s patronage,” Slater said. – Shia Kapos

— OCTOBER 13, 2020 FLASHBACK: A group of Democratic south suburban mayors and elected officials have filed suit against the Democratic Bloom Township committeeman, Lori Wilcox, because of her plan to hold an in-person, candidate slating caucus in December rather than an open, spring primary for the 2021 municipal and township elections. Given the caucus typically draws 300 to 400 people in the same room, such a meeting would violate the governor’s executive order on large gatherings. The mayors group is concerned about a “super spreader event” if Wilcox’s planned candidate slating caucus moves forward. The emergency motion for a temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction filed by the Del Galdo Law Group will be heard Wednesday in Cook County Circuit Court. Wilcox told Playbook she had not yet seen the lawsuit and declined to comment. – Shia Kapos (DIERSEN: What is the status of this?)

https://www.wsj.com/livecoverage/latest-updates-biden-trump-election-2020/card/32vHNFTTc2xxNr7NITHY
(FROM THE ARTICLE: America’s political divisions are also economic divisions – and they are widening. That’s one message that comes through in the visual story-telling from our graphics team, published today, which shows how Republicans and Democrats are increasingly divided by the education levels, racial diversity and the amount of urban or rural character to their communities. Now, the Brookings Institution adds to the finding of a growing divide between metropolitan and non-metropolitan America. Joe Biden last week won 16% of the nation’s counties, but those counties account for 70% of nation’s economic activity, Brookings analysts report. By contrast, President Trump won 84% of counties, accounting for less than 30% of GDP. Their work shows an increasing divide between a high-output, Democratic-leaning part of the nation and a lower-output, Republican-leaning set of communities. In 2016, Brookings analysts found, Democrat Hillary Clinton won counties accounting for 64% of economic output, compared with Mr. Biden’s 70% share. Mr. Trump in 2016 won counties accounting for 36% of economic output, compared with his share of under 30% this year. That finding adds new data to a trend that the Journal also documented last year, showing that the two parties, in many ways, live in two different economies.)

TRUMP/PENCE CAMPAIGN
— The media does NOT decide who is President
https://secure.winred.com/tmagac/election-defense-fund-cond
(FROM THE ANNOUNCEMENT: This Election is far from over. We all know why Joe Biden is rushing to falsely pose as the winner, and why his media allies are trying so hard to help him: THEY DON’T WANT THE TRUTH TO BE EXPOSED. Joe Biden has NOT been certified as the winner of any states, let alone any highly contested states headed for mandatory recounts, or any states where our campaign has valid and legitimate legal challenges that could determine the ultimate victor. The American People are entitled to an honest Election; that means counting all legal ballots, and not counting any illegal ballots. This is the only way to ensure the public has full confidence in our Election. The Biden campaign wants ballots counted even if they are fraudulent, manufactured, or cast by ineligible or deceased voters. Only a party engaged in wrongdoing would unlawfully keep observers out of the count room – and then fight in court to block their access.)

— The upsides to thinking about when you will die – Liz Weston
https://www.dailyherald.com/business/20201108/liz-weston-the-upsides-to-thinking-about-when-you-will-die
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Social Security’s life expectancy calculator predicts I’ll live to about 86. An insurance company’s version says I should expect to die at 98. A longevity calculator created by actuaries demurs, putting the odds at only 32% that I’ll make it to 95. Eventually, I’ll find out which life expectancy calculator was most accurate. In the meantime, the different results help illustrate one of the most important and difficult calculations in retirement planning: figuring out when it will end. People who underestimate their life expectancy could save too little for retirement and run short of cash. People who overestimate how long they’ll live might stay in the workforce longer than they want to or spend less in retirement than they could.)

AMERICAN THINKER
— Former journalist receives AP survey, laughs out loud at huge bias in questions – Laura Peterson-Lytle
https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2020/10/former_journalist_receives_ap_survey_laughs_out_loud_at_huge_bias_in_questions.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The postcard even goes on to describe the AP as an “independent, not-for-profit news organization committed to the highest standard of objective, accurate journalism for the past 170 years.” Yes, I will admit, I laughed. Looking back, it now serves as a bright, neon, flashing sign of how dishonest and standardless the poll would turn out to be. . .The poll goes on to ask many questions that are intentionally, manipulatively inaccurate, and others that are structured to allow the AP to interpret to suit its predetermined goal. For example, in attempting to gauge the respondent’s primary issues of importance, one question asked if the “economic downturn” would factor into his selection process. The possible answers to that question range from “very likely” to “not at all.” The obvious question is what economic downturn, but the poll does not allow one to ask. Essentially, the poll attempts to subconsciously plant the idea that some undisputed “economic downturn” is taking place. Was the question referencing the economic downturn in Democrat-run, riot- and looting-ridden cities that have shut down and forbidden life outside liberal rabble-rousing? If so, it should clearly state such. That is not what the poll’s intention is, though. It is nothing more than a thinly veiled attempt to imply that the economy is not improving under President Donald Trump — something categorically false, deceptive, and intentional on the part of the AP. If respondents assert they are voting for President Trump and that such an “economic downturn” is not a factor in their decision, the AP can manipulate those results to imply that Trump-supporters simply “don’t care” about a bad economy. Never mind the fact that no such economic downturn is occurring outside Democrat-run cities.)

— Former FERC Chair Chatterjee on demotion by Trump: ‘I don’t give a f@&!’ – REBECCA BEITSCH (DIERSEN: What if I had taken Chatterjee’s attitude? In 1997, when I was 49 years old, to force me to take their early retirement “offer,” my Democrat GAO superiors made it clear that they would demote me constructively, if not literally. Reasons why I succumbed and took their early retirement “offer” include a) it would be 6 long years before I would be eligible for regular retirement, b) GAO was not unionized, c) none of my superiors, supervisors, coworkers, or subordinates would have supported me, d) fighting it would have harmed my mental and physical health, e) I did not have enough support of Henry Hyde’s staff, and f) I could suffer the 59% loss of income because of my wife’s income, we had no dependents, we had no debts, we owned a home and cars, and we had retirement savings. However, my 59% loss of income for the rest of my life dramatically cut our standard of living. Further, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have used my being forced to take early retirement to viciously demonize me, to viciously denigrate me, and to viciously denigrate me as being a White supremacist, Nazi, KKK member, hater, racist, sexist, bigot, and even worse things. Needless-to say, I should sue my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes.)
