CBS NEWS
— The high cost of systemic racism in the U.S. (DIERSEN: I should write a book about the many millions of dollars that my Democrat superiors in the federal government wasted on me so that they could give preference to my coworkers and to my subordinates who were Democrat, minority, female, younger, and/or veteran. They wasted what I learned a) working for GAO 1980-1997, b) working for IRS 1971-1980, c) earning a master’s degree in financial markets and trading from IIT in 1997, d) passing the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981, e) earning a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980, f) passing the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, g) earning an MBA from Loyola in 1976, and h) earning a bachelor’s degree in management from NIU in 1970. 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. My Democrat IRS superiors did not promote me beyond GS-12, disallowed my education deductions in 1978, got rid of my mentor in 1975, and disallowed my partial day per diem claims in 1974. In 1971, I would have become an Oldsmobile employee if Oldsmobile had not withdrawn its job offer because of EEOC. My Democrat Post Office superiors forced me resign in 1969 and disallowed my sick leave requests in 1969 and 1968.)

Since 2000, my critics/opponents in the Milton Township Republican Organization (MTRO) have hinted/implied/argued/shouted that the Republican vote in my precinct would be much higher if the Precinct Committeeman was someone who they manipulated/dominated. They demonize me, denigrate me, and condemn me as being “too conservative.” They stress my demographics and hint/imply/argue/shout that I am a White supremacist, Nazi, KKK member, hater, racist, sexist, bigot, and even worse things.

CHAMPAIGN/URBANA NEWS GAZETTE
— Who are these ‘millionaires and billionaires’? – Jim Dey (DIERSEN: According to this, “1 out of every 18 households” is a millionaire household. What percent of the households in your precinct, in your municipal district, in your municipality, in your township, in your county district, and in your county are millionaire households?)
https://www.news-gazette.com/opinion/columns/jim-dey-who-are-these-millionaires-and-billionaires/article_442f6047-e5dd-5134-b96d-003e30435570.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Forbes magazine reports that its annual review of the super-wealthy in the United States revealed Illinois has just 18 billionaires out of a population of 12.5 million. Rapp was struck by two things — the small number of billionaires and the frequency of their last names. Of the 18, six are Pritzkers. “I thought that was kind of funny,” Rapp said. The statistic stands as stark testimony to the wisdom of making a good choice when picking one’s parents. The Pritzker family is the 15th wealthiest family in the world, with a combined $33.5 billion net worth. Celebrity Net Worth reports that “A.N. Pritzker was the son of Ukrainian immigrants” who invested “in real estate and companies in trouble while he worked for his dad’s law firm.” Thus began a family financial dynasty that is tied to the Hyatt Hotel chain. Past holdings include “the Superior Bank of Chicago (which collapsed in 2001), Braniff airlines, McCall’s magazine, the Trans Union credit bureau, and Royal Caribbean cruise line.” Brilliant estate planning has protected the family wealth, allowing major fortunes to be handed out to successive generations of Pritzkers. Forbes magazine reported in 2019 that of the 18 Illinois billionaires, Thomas Pritzker ranks No. 3 ($4.1 billion net worth), the governor is at No. 4 ($3.2 billion), Jean Pritzker is at No. 5 ($3.1 billion net worth), Penny Pritzker, No. 6 (2.6 billion net worth), Nicholas Pritzker, No. 7 ($2 billion) and Jennifer Pritzker, No. 8 ($1.9 billion). . .But it’s a different story when it comes to millionaires, meaning people with a net worth of at least $1 million, not necessarily an annual income of at least $1 million. Crain’s Chicago Business reported in 2016 that “the number of millionaire households in Illinois reached 280,265, up 5.2 percent from 2014.” In 2016, Crains reported, that number represented “1 out of every 18 households” — 5.5 percent. Pritzker’s proposed progressive income tax, however, is about income, not net worth.)

If I had been a Democrat, my Democrat IRS superiors would have promoted me beyond GS-12, they would not have disallowed my education deductions in 1978, they would not have gotten rid of my mentor in 1975, and they would not have disallowed my partial day per diem claims in 1974. If I had been a Democrat, my Democrat Post Office superiors would not have forced me resign in 1969 and they would not have disallowed my sick leave requests in 1969 and 1968.)

https://www.dailyherald.com/news/20200825/casten-and-ives-sound-off-on-black-lives-matter-and-trump-during-forums
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Democratic U.S. Rep. Sean Casten and Republican challenger Jeanne Ives voiced diametrically different opinions of the Black Lives Matter movement and its members during separate public forums Tuesday. Casten, a Downers Grove resident seeking his second term as the congressman for Illinois’ 6th District, called the movement “amazingly inspiring” and said most Americans support the effort, which opposes police brutality and racially motivated violence. “I think that is such a beautiful sign of progress,” Casten said. Conversely, Ives, a former state legislator from Wheaton who unsuccessfully ran for governor in 2018, blasted the group as “a Marxist organization that wants to destroy the nuclear family.” Ives also said she doesn’t understand why protesters are allowed to paint the Black Lives Matter name on streets or march without parade permits.)

— Does ‘diversity’ include GOP? – LARRY PENNER
https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2020/aug/23/letters-to-the-editor-does-diversity-include-gop/
(FROM THE LETTER: During the 2020 Democratic National Convention, five Republicans crossed the aisle to speak and endorse Joe Biden for president: John Kasich, Susan Molinari, Colin Powell, Christine Whitman and Meg Whitman. Mr. Biden promised that if elected president he would have the most diverse cabinet and administration in history, representing the gorgeous American mosaic. He also promised to appoint the first female African-American Supreme Court justice. Republicans represent a significant portion of America. How many of them will be invited to serve in Mr. Biden’s Cabinet and administration? Will any of these five Republicans be offered a job in a Biden White House? Will Mr. Biden make a public commitment on this issue of inclusion for Republicans prior to Election Day? Voters want to know.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Republicans opted against drafting a 2020 platform, but they did agree on a handful of statements that reflect the party’s core values. The Republican National Committee passed seven resolutions during its annual summer meeting before members and this cycle’s convention delegates vote Monday to renominate President Trump as the GOP standard-bearer for the general election against Democrat Joe Biden. The RNC’s business agenda included affirming its decision to keep its 2016 platform, essentially a nonbinding messaging document outlining Republican positions on a range of issues, until 2024. They also stuck up for Christopher Columbus, credited with the 1492 European discovery of the “New World” of the Americas. Statues erected in Columbus’s honor were toppled or desecrated this summer during protests against racial injustice over the Italian explorer’s treatment of indigenous people, particularly in modern-day Haiti and the Dominican Republic. Republicans on Saturday also ripped “cancel” or “callout” culture, which encourages boycotts of people or businesses by those who don’t condone their comments or actions. “The Republican National Committee voted to approve seven resolutions 1) to conserve history and combat prejudice with respect to Christopher Columbus 2) to uphold the First Amendment in response to the coronavirus pandemic and the ‘cancel culture’ amendment,” Georgia Republican Party Chairman David Shafer tweeted. Other resolutions touted the Trump administration’s accomplishments, urged Congress to do more to prevent Chinese companies dominating the country’s medical supply chain amid the COVID-19 outbreak, and pushed lawmakers “to overhaul the Administrative Procedure Act of 1946 refuting the legitimacy of the Southern Poverty Law Center to identify hate groups,” according to Shafer. A second GOP official in the Westin Charlotte meeting room, closed to reporters and TV crews, confirmed to the Washington Examiner that the resolutions were passed. National Republican Committee leaders and state party committee heads are gathering this weekend to provide updates, take part in training sessions, and attend meetings on topics from budgets to internal rules. They’ll be joined on Monday by Republican convention delegates to vote on the 2020 presidential nomination. Trump is visiting Asheville, North Carolina, next week, but White House and campaign aides remain mum on whether he plans to make a surprise appearance in Charlotte. The president plans to deliver his nomination acceptance speech on Thursday at the White House. Most of the Charlotte convention will be replaced by virtual prime-time programming similar to the Democratic convention last week. The Charlotte host committee has already begun its closeout process, which incorporates $3.2 million worth of cash and in-kind donations to the local community that had banked on a convention-related economic boost.)
— Trump runs as protector of the Republican base – W. James Antle III (DIERSEN: Who represents the Republican Party base in your precinct, in your municipal district, in your municipality, in your township, in your county district, and in your county? I represent the Republican Party base in my precinct and I am one of the far too few who represent the Republican Party base in Wheaton’s West District, in Wheaton, in Milton Township, in DuPage County’s 4th District, and in DuPage County. The Republican Party base supports the traditional family, right to life, immigration, illegal drugs, Second Amendment, and equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) planks in the Republican Party platform. Beyond tragically, far too many leaders of the Milton Township Republican Organization, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Illinois Republican Party reject some, if not most, if not all of the aforesaid planks.)
