DAILY HERALD
— Consortium organizes to battle Pritzker’s graduated income tax plan – Jake Griffin (DIERSEN: When will conservative and Republican groups organize to battle Pritzker’s pot plan? From what I see, ever-increasingly, a) Libertarians exploit the Republican Party’s “big tent” philosophy, b) Libertarians falsely claim to be conservative and/or Republican, c) Libertarian plants gain leadership positions in the Republican Party, and d) those Libertarian plants use those leadership positions to get rid of conservatives and Republicans like me. I should write a book about past and present Libertarian plants who held/hold leadership positions in the Milton Township Republican Central Committee, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, Illinois Republican Party, TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois, Wheaton Chamber of Commerce, Illinois Center Right Coalition, American Association of Political Consultants, City of Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois.)

https://www.dailyherald.com/discuss/20190420/editorial-a-foreboding-decline-in-the-united-states-press-freedom-ranking
(FROM THE EDITORIAL: Truth be told, press freedom in America ranks below that of almost every other country in the West. Reporters Without Borders, an international organization that promotes freedom of expression around the globe, released its 2019 World Press Freedom Index Thursday, and the results are troubling worldwide, disturbing in the U.S. Worldwide, “hatred of journalists has degenerated into violence, contributing to an increase in fear,” the organization said in a summary of the report. “The number of countries regarded as safe, where journalists can work in complete security, continues to decline while authoritarian regimes continue to tighten their grip on the media.”)

Overwhelming, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have spent far more of their income on immediate pleasures than I have.

DAILY HERALD
— New CEO slated for tollway Jose R. Alvarez comes from Chicago Housing Authority – Marni Pyke (DIERSEN: What does Alvarez know about tollways? GAO audits IRS. When I transferred from IRS to GAO in 1980, I brought with me almost 9 years of IRS Collection Division experience, the last 5 1/2 years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 levels, currently $82,579-$93,592/year. But my Democrat GAO superiors wasted that experience a) by never assigning me to audits of IRS’s Collection Division and b) by assigning me to audits of IRS for only 3 (1986-1988) of the almost 18 years that I worked for GAO. During those almost 18 years, none of those who were assigned to audits had worked for IRS. Overwhelmingly, those assigned to audits of IRS were Democrat, minority, female, younger, and/or veteran. Many, if not most of them did not want the assignments.)

POLITICO ILLINOIS
— U.S. Rep. Sean Casten has high praise for fellow freshman Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s Green New Deal resolution. – Shia Kapos (DIERSEN: Which Republican candidate is going to run against and defeat Casten? What are the following doing to get the best possible Republican candidate to run against and defeat Casten: Peter Roskam, Illinois Republican Party (IRP) National Committeeman and Committeewoman, IRP officers, 6th Congressional District IRP State Central Committee member, and 6th Congressional District Republican county and township organization officers?) 
https://www.politico.com/newsletters/illinois-playbook/2019/04/18/casten-on-aocs-green-deal-preckwinkle-reflects-population-dropping-again-426113
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Casten, who campaigned on a “fix climate change” platform, just wishes it wasn’t sucking the air out of all the other green legislation. “The Green New Deal has made it very hard to advance a different idea about how to move forward [on climate change] without being seen as antagonistic,” Casten said during an interview with POLITICO. Casten has bills in various forms on issues he cares about, and he’s been asked by other lawmakers to join on their climate-focused bills, too. But they’re all effectively on hold, he says, while Ocasio-Cortez’s plan gets the headlines. The Green New Deal calls for the nation to reduce its fossil fuel use to zero within 10 years. Casten is back in Illinois this week after his first three months in Congress. We met over coffee at Starbucks in Carpentersville. Here are seven takeaways from the interview: On what works/doesn’t work in AOC’s resolution: “I agree with the urgency of it. That part is awesome. It’s just more idealistic than practical. To do climate policy right, you have to understand how our current energy structure works.” Casten points to questions about whether fertilizer can be made without natural gas or if aviation fuels can replace existing high-energy, low-density petroleum-based fuels. They’re both areas that are difficult to de-carbonize based on current technologies. His Capitol Hill mentors: U.S. Rep. Bill Foster, who serves Illinois’ 11th District. The two representatives share a passion for science and business. Also New Hampshire Rep. Annie Kuster and Maryland Rep. Jamie Raskin. “Every time I talk to [Raskin] I realize he’s super smart and I leave thinking I’m super smart,” says Casten.)

DAILY SIGNAL
— The Natural Limits of Identity Politics – Victor Davis Hanson (DIERSEN: Question: When will illegal immigration to America end? ANSWER: When Spanish is America’s official language. When everyone in America speaks, reads, and writes Spanish. When America looks like Mexico. When there are few, if any Whites left in America. When Mexico and the other Spanish-speaking countries officially declare victory over America.)
https://www.dailysignal.com/2019/04/18/the-natural-limits-of-identity-politics/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Economist Herbert Stein’s old adage—“If something cannot go on forever, it will stop”—still holds. Take illegal immigration. There are currently somewhere from 11 million to 15 million immigrants living in the United States without legal authorization. Last month, nearly 100,000 people were apprehended or turned away while trying to illegally cross the southern border. Some experts suggest that at least that number made it across without arrest. At that rate, the United States would be gaining a fairly large city of undocumented arrivals each month. Most of the people who enter the United States illegally arrive without fluency in English, a high school diploma, competitive job skills, or money. The majority will require support subsidies, and collectively they will require increased legal and law enforcement investments. At some point, American social services will be so taxed that the system will be rendered dysfunctional—as is already occurring in areas of the American Southwest. Or, some regions of America will so resemble the countries illegal immigrants abandoned that there will be little point in heading north. Either way, the current border chaos will find its own self-correcting mechanisms, even if that means there will be no border at all—or northern Mexico and the southern United States will become indistinguishable. Currently, the national debt is $22 trillion and growing at a rate of nearly $1 trillion a year due to staggering annual budget deficits. The George W. Bush and Barack Obama administrations roughly doubled the debt they inherited, and the Donald Trump administration may be on schedule to do the same. More importantly, the national debt is now over 100% of the gross domestic product. Presidents and Congress like to spend and to spread money to voters. They fear politically suicidal recessions if they cut back. But over the last 20 years, the government has mostly exhausted traditional economic stimuli such as larger budget deficits, near-zero real interest rates, and expansion of the money supply.)

— FRONT PAGE TOP OF FOLD WITH BIG COLOR PICTURE: Will wealthy leave Illinois if graduated income tax happens? It didn’t happen with last tax hike – BGA (DIERSEN: Ever-increasingly, the Democrats who run Illinois make it clear that they want individuals, organizations, and companies to leave Illinois that are Trump supporters, Protestant, conservative, patriotic, Republican, American, White, male, older, rich, gun owners, German American, draft avoiders, and/or those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time.)
https://www.dailyherald.com/news/20190410/will-wealthy-leave-illinois-if-graduated-income-tax-happens-it-didnt-happen-with-last-tax-hike
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The federal records reveal robust growth in the numbers of Illinois tax filers with incomes of $100,000 or greater from 2011 through 2014 when lawmakers temporarily boosted the state’s flat income tax rate to 5% from 3%. Over that time, the total number of federal tax filers in the state grew by 9,000, an almost imperceptible one-tenth of 1%. But the number of filers reporting adjusted gross income between $100,000 and $200,000 grew by 16%, while the number reporting income over $200,000 rose by 29%. The wealthiest got even wealthier, with 3,618 Illinoisans reporting $1 million-plus incomes in 2014, up 25% from four years earlier. Those earning more than $100,000 annually accounted for all the increase in collective earnings among Illinois taxpayers between 2006 and 2016. Meanwhile, more than 70% of Illinois tax filers reported annual income of less than $75,000 in 2016, and there were 300,000 fewer of them that year than in 2006.)

— Trump administration requires Texas Tech medical school to end use of race in determining admissions Agreement is the first time the Education Department has asked a school to curtail its affirmative-action practices, paving way for more change – MICHELLE HACKMAN (DIERSEN: How has Affirmative Action (AA), Diversity, and Inclusion impacted you? Democrats use AA, Diversity, and Inclusion to not hire, to not retain, to not promote, and to get rid of Republicans, and especially Republicans who are White, male, older, and/or non-veteran. While I worked for the federal government for almost 30 year, my superiors were always under tremendous pressure from Democrat politicians to use AA, Diversity, Inclusion, up-or-out, and budget cuts to not hire, to not retain, to not promote, and to get rid of Republicans, and especially Republicans who are White, male, older, and/or non-veteran. My Democrat GAO superiors forced me to retire in 1997 when I was 49 years old, gave me unfair performance expectations and appraisals, always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes, did not promote me beyond GS-13, got rid of my mentor in 1987, kept me off audits of IRS for all but 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for GAO, and forced me to take a $19,568 (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. My Democrat Post Office superiors forced me resign in 1969 and disallowed my sick leave requests in 1969 and 1968. )

WIKIPEDIA
— G.I. Bill & Veterans’ Preference (DIERSEN: Government is nasty. Politics is nasty. Democrats are nasty. How did the G.I. Bill and Veterans’ Preference impact you? My Democrat superiors, Democrat supervisors, Democrat coworkers, and Democrat subordinates in the federal government always stressed that I was not a veteran, but far worse than that, that I avoided the draft. They focused on and succeeded turning my many Democrat superiors, Democrat supervisors, Democrat coworkers, and Democrat subordinates who were veterans against me.) 
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G.I._Bill
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Veterans’_Preference_Act_of_1944
(FROM THE G.I. BILL ARTICLE: Benefits included dedicated payments of tuition and living expenses to attend high school, college or vocational/technical school, low-cost mortgages, low-interest loans to start a business, as well as one year of unemployment compensation. It was available to all veterans who had been on active duty during the war years for at least 90 days and had not been dishonorably discharged—exposure to combat was not required. The recipients did not pay any income tax on the G.I. benefits, since they were not considered earned income. By 1956, roughly 7.8 million veterans had used the G.I. Bill education benefits, some 2.2 million to attend colleges or universities and an additional 5.6 million for some kind of training program. Historians and economists judge the G.I. Bill a major political and economic success—especially in contrast to the treatments of World War I veterans—and a major contribution to America’s stock of human capital that encouraged long-term economic growth. FROM THE VETERANS’ PREFERENCE ARTICLE: The Vietnam War in the 1960s resulted in several modifications of the VP law of 1944. In 1966, legislation was passed which granted peace-time preference for Vietnam-era vets who served on active duty for more than 180 consecutive days between January 31, 1955 and October 10, 1976; National guard and reserve service was excluded from this legislation. In 1967 legislation was passed which expanded preference to all veterans who served on active duty for more than 180 days (no requirement to serve during war, campaign, or conflict) between January 31, 1955 and October 10, 1976. As with the previous year’s law, National guard and reserve service was not included in this expansion. The end of the Vietnam War brought with it yet another law, passed in 1976. This law put added restrictions on veterans whose service begins after October 14, 1976. For post-Vietnam era veterans, preference was granted only if these veterans became disabled, or served in a declared war, a campaign, or expedition. This legislation was the result of the conclusion of the Vietnam War and its draft and the United States Department of Defense’s desire to build a career military service. The Civil Service reform act of 1978 created new benefits for veterans with a 30 percent or more disability. It also gave veterans extra protection in hiring and retention. Under this act, preference was no longer granted to nondisabled veterans who retired at the rank of major or above. In 1988, a law was passed that required the Department of Labor to report agencies’ violations of veterans’ preference and failure to list vacancies with State employment services to the Office of Personnel Management for enforcement.)

WASHINGTON POST
— How paranoia about the ‘deep state’ brought down a president. And how it could do so again. – Zachary Jonathan Jacobson (DIERSEN: Who seeks “to discredit, even destroy” you? I should write a book about those who seek “to discredit, even destroy” me. They include a) past and present Milton Township Republican Central Committee, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, Illinois Republican Party, TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois, Wheaton Chamber of Commerce, Illinois Center Right Coalition, American Association of Political Consultants, City of Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, Illinois, GAO, IRS, Post Office, etc. officials, employees, and members and b) those who I have sued.) 
https://www.washingtonpost.com/outlook/2019/04/08/how-paranoia-about-deep-state-brought-down-president/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: In the Nixon White House, ruminating about the threat of a deep state was common fodder. President Richard Nixon’s team sought to discredit, even destroy, political opponents, inside government and out, by pursuing them as un-American traitors. Nixon’s deep-statism illustrated the self-destructiveness undergirding conspiracism, and ultimately led to his resignation.)
