(FROM THE ARTICLE: I am a white privileged American. Yes, and if you are black, Hispanic, Asian or an American of any race or background, you too are a privileged American. You live in America. People climb fences, often risking their lives and paying thousands to get here. People from around the world go through the long and frustrating legal immigration process to become an American immigrant. No one could blame anyone for doing anything they can to come to this land of freedom and opportunity. Could America be better? Of course. Am I dissatisfied with the politicians in Washington? Of course. Are there racists and criminals in our midst? Of course, but their number is dwarfed by the vast majority of responsible, caring citizens of all races.)

LEGAL INSURRECTION
— White Farmers Excluded From Biden Loan Forgiveness Program Sue To Stop “use of race discrimination as a tool to end ‘systemic racism’” “Plaintiffs are farmers from Wisconsin, Minnesota, South Dakota, and Ohio who have direct loans with the Farm Service Agency (FSA) or loans backed by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA). They are otherwise eligible for the loan-forgiveness program in ARPA, except for the color of their skin. As white farmers, Plaintiffs are ineligible for this government benefit.” – William A. Jacobson (DIERSEN: Ever-increasing, Democrats and RINOs discriminate against those who are Republican, conservative, White, male, older, heterosexual, Protestant, and/or German American to curry favor with those who are Democrat, Libertarian, Green, Independent, RINO, moderate, liberal, minority, female, younger, LGBTQ, non-Protestant, and/or non-German American.)

Despite narrow majorities, party is sticking together on almost all votes. – Shawn Zeller (DIERSEN: I should write a book about Democrat plants, Libertarian plants, Green plants, Independent plants, and RINOs in Illinois, in DuPage County, in Milton Township, and in Wheaton who have been the most successful in using the Republican Party’s “BIG TENT” policy to destroy the Republican Party in Illinois, in DuPage County, in Milton Township, and in Wheaton. These party destroyers focus on getting rid of those like me who support the traditional marriage/family, right to life, immigration, illegal drugs, Second Amendment, and/or equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) planks in the Republican Party platform.)

My father had died suddenly in 1969. My mother had never attended high school or worked outside of our home. I applied for a financial hardship draft deferment in 1970 and it was approved in 1971.

During my first 2 years at UIC 1966-1968 and my first year at NIU in 1969, I delivered mail part-time for the Park Forest Post Office.

— The U.S. Postal Service desperately needs a few good men and women. Maybe you? The post office’s ongoing delivery problems could open a window of opportunity for people now that it’s looking to hire. Here’s what you need to know. – Mary Mitchell (DIERSEN: The Post Office hired me in 1966 when I was 18 years old because it could not find a qualified Democrat, minority, female, or veteran who would take the job.)
https://chicago.suntimes.com/columnists/2021/4/30/22412910/postal-service-mail-jobs
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The United States Postal Service says it’s one of the “leading employers of minorities and women. Minorities comprise 39% and women 40% of the workforce, 21% of employees are African-American; 8% are Hispanic; 8% are Asian-American/Pacific Islander, and 0.67% are American Indian or Alaska Native.” . . . So here is where the community could make a difference — if you’ve got the right stuff. The Postal Service is hiring. “This is an opportunity for those who want to work for the post office because they are hiring up to 500 city letter carriers, and these are jobs that can change lives,” Julion says. The union representative tells potential employees these jobs could help them become homeowners and be able to afford that new automobile. “These are good union jobs,” he says. Prospective mail carriers will have to pass drug tests and background checks and have a clean driving record for at least two years. “The post office has been posting jobs like mad,” Julion says. “With people retiring, there is going to be a constant flow of jobs.”)

AMERICAN THINKER
— Kinzinger: The tyranny of the reasonable – David Hale
https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2021/05/the_tyranny_of_the_reasonable.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The tyranny of the reasonable is: if you’re not “reasonable,” you don’t get a voice, and you don’t count. This is perfectly expressed in the 16th District Republican congressman, Adam Kinzinger. The dashing young Kinzinger with steely eyes and square jaw and canned, even, toned verbal delivery comes across as erudite, serious, and reasonable — a political figure who just “wants what’s best for everybody.” But nothing is farther from the truth. His cooperation with the left has for the past decade chipped away at American freedom through his decisions on Capitol Hill and eroded our liberties a bite at a time. Kinzinger cooperates and coordinates with members of the Democrat Party who have a deep allegiance to extremist ideas of open borders, redistribution of labor and wealth in the form of money from American’s paychecks, division through racial unrest and strife, and transgender tyranny in our schools and even in school bathrooms. Despite this extensive cooperation with the party of “Marx in America,” he is considered a reasonable, thoughtful political figure. So much easier to gulp down lies when told to us through a smile with even, serious tones. People like Kinzinger delivering their message do not seem like radicals or extremists. They seem reasonable. Kinzinger has learned this tactic and executed this persona with perfection, yet his allegiances are anything but reasonable. His allegiances are radical and extreme and part of what is transforming America into a debt-laden, morally bankrupt, tyrannical dictatorship that is closing the noose of tyranny around our freedoms and liberties. People who consider themselves reasonable consider Kinzinger the same, yet they don’t look deeper than Kinzinger’s surface persona. Beneath this reasonable persona is a man who has created and led our nation into a worse condition than it has ever been — deeper in debt, morally bankrupt, crime-ridden, with joblessness, rioting, racial division, and a whole host of social and economic problems.)

— Here are 4 things you should know about redistricting in IL — and why you should care. – KELSEY LANDIS (DIERSEN: How will Democrat gerrymandering impact you, your neighborhood, your precinct, your municipal district, your municipality, your township, your county district, your county, Illinois, and America?)
https://www.bnd.com/news/politics-government/article251004259.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: WHAT DOES REDISTRICTING MEAN FOR BLACK AND BROWN COMMUNITIES? Drawing political boundaries for racial reasons isn’t allowed under federal law. Drawing them for political purposes is, though the two often end up being the same, said Kevin Anderson, a professor at Eastern Illinois University who specializes in African-American politics. “You can’t draw a district and stuff all the white people in one area,” Anderson said, “but you can gerrymander for political reasons. You can draw districts in a weird shape to put as many Republicans in a district, as many Democrats in a district.” As a result, racial groups can still get bunched together into super-majority districts, which could be a good thing because they’d have a representative who advocates for their specific issues. But it can end up having the opposite effect because lumping racial groups together creates extremes. There may be one elected official who strongly supports gun control and criminal justice reform, and another nearby who opposes them. Neither have to answer to a diverse electorate either in terms or race or ideology, and their agendas might cancel each other out. As southwestern Illinois turns more conservative, bipartisan partnerships could become more scarce. “If you concentrate minority voters in one or two districts, yeah, they get to send their person to Springfield, but you have almost no influence in the areas around you,” Anderson said. “It becomes very difficult to build coalitions.”)

Lawmakers have refused. . .Legislative leaders have denied access on grounds that Capitol News Illinois is affiliated with an interest group, the Illinois Press Association, which employs lobbyists. Among other things, the IPA lobbies to keep laws requiring that legal notices be printed in newspapers. It’s OK for lawmakers to moonlight as lobbyists, but reporters aren’t supposed to be tools of outfits with business before the legislature. Legislative leaders have drawn parallels between Capitol News Illinois and a defunct news arm of the Illinois Policy Institute, a conservative think tank. Lawmakers six years ago won a court fight to deny credentials for the institute’s alleged news operation. It’s a matter of consistency, Steve Brown, then spokesman for former House Speaker Michael Madigan, wrote in a 2019 letter denying credentials to Capitol News Illinois. . .”(I)t is my opinion that you and the others with Capitol News Illinois are not representatives of the press but representatives of an advocacy organization,” Brown wrote. Capitol News Illinois is a creature of the Illinois Press Foundation, a nonprofit affiliate of the Illinois Press Association. The policy institute had a similar relationship with its news arm. That’s where similarities end. For one thing, we don’t know who funds the policy institute, which doesn’t disclose donor names. We know that the Robert R. McCormick Foundation carries Capitol News Illinois, which also conducts fundraising drives familiar to any NPR fan.)

— The True Cost of Closing the Racial Wealth Gap – William Darity Jr. (DIERSEN: How much reparations do the Democrats want you to pay?)
https://www.nytimes.com/2021/04/30/business/racial-wealth-gap.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Elimination of the wealth gap between Black and white Americans is a stated goal of President Biden and the Democratic Party. The gulf is enormous any way you look at it. But depending on the measure you use, the chasm ranges from $54,700 a person to $280,300 a person. I believe the higher figure is the most appropriate one. That amounts to a total of $11.2 trillion — a figure that implies that incremental measures will not be sufficient to address the enormous racial wealth disparity. Those numbers are derived from data compiled in the Federal Reserve’s 2019 Survey of Consumer Finances. The survey shows that the gap in wealth between Black and white Americans at the median — the middle household in each community — was $164,100. The median Black household was worth only $24,100; the median white household, $188,200. But if we compare Black and white wealth at the mean — for the average household in each community — the difference was $840,000, a far larger sum. The average figure for Black households was $142,500; for white households, $983,400, close to $1 million.)

Potential employers viewed me as being draft bait. I had been classified as 1-A and my draft number was 151. They did not believe that my application for a financial hardship draft deferment would be approved. Further, potential employers were under tremendous pressure to hire minorities, females, and veterans. Further, I had been a government employee 1966-1969. I took the only job offer that I received; to be the Retail Sales Manager in the Chicago Heights Firestone Store. The job did not really require a college degree. Constructively, I served as the store’s salesman. Firestone’s district office hired me; the store’s manager would never have hired me. He disapproved of my avoiding the draft, my being a college graduate, my being Missouri Synod Lutheran, and my being 100% German American. He refused to let me start until I passed a 2-week probationary period working in Firestone’s Gary store. He rudely fired me when I gave him my 2-week notice in early 1971. I had accepted a job offer from Oldsmobile. But Oldsmobile withdrew that job offer saying that it had just agreed to stop hiring Whites to settle an EEOC complaint. The aforesaid directly resulted in my accepting a job offer from IRS.)

MILWAUKEE INDEPENDENT
— DIERSEN HEADLINE: How long have your ancestors been in America?

My critics/opponents stress that my ancestors have been in America since 1844, that I am White, that I am male, that I am Republican, that I am old (born in 1948), that I am conservative, that I was baptized, raised, and confirmed as a Missouri Synod Lutheran, that I am 100% German national origin, that I lived in Crete 1948-1972 and I have lived in Wheaton since 1978, that I avoided the draft, that my wife and I never had dependents, that I have good health, and that I am not poor. In my defense, I stress that my ancestors always lived in northeast Illinois, that they never had enough clout to discriminate against anyone even if they wanted to, that I bought a new town home in University Park in 1972, that I was a union member for almost 12 years, and that my Democrat superiors in the federal government forced me to pay the price of Affirmative Action, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion big time.)

Few of my GAO coworkers and subordinates had taken the CPA or CIA examinations, let alone passed them, let alone passed them on their first attempt.

GAO, the 7th circuit made it clear that employers can discriminate against their employees who are Republican, White, male, older, and/or non-veteran to give preference to their employees who are Democrat, minority, female, younger, and/or veteran. Ever-increasingly, employers and organizations in the 7th circuit use that decision to get rid of their employees and members who are Republican, White, male, older, and/or non-veteran.)

Previously, 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 $20,361 (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980.)

— GOP precinct chair in Texas arrested in US Capitol riot (DIERSEN: In 1999, my Republican Precinct Committeewoman appointed me to serve as her assistant. When she moved out of my precinct in 1999, to fill the vacancy, the Milton Township Republican Organization appointed me. For the 2000 election, my critics/opponents got a woman to run against me, but I was elected in large part because Randy Hultgren and Peter Roskam endorsed me in writing. I have been reelected unopposed every 2 years since then. My critics/opponents have done everything that they could to get someone to run against me and b) to get me to not run again. My critics/opponents demonize me, denigrate me, and condemn me as being “too conservative.” I should write a book about my critics/opponents and the adverse actions, including their 2015 gerrymandering of my precinct, that they have taken against me.)
https://www.wlsam.com/news/gop-precinct-chair-in-texas-arrested-in-us-capitol-riot/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A Texas man arrested for storming the US Capitol and assaulting police officers on January 6 also serves as a Republican Party precinct chair and has been an election poll worker in north Texas. Mark Middleton, 52, was appointed as the chair of Precinct 14 in Cooke County in December, just a month after the presidential election, according to Chris McNamara, chairman of the Cooke County Republican Party. A precinct chair is a low-level elected position in local party politics. However, Middleton was not elected. He was appointed by a committee of local Republicans to fill the vacant precinct officer position. The Texas Republican Party says the duty of its precinct chairs is to “help promote and grow the local county party” and “to maximize the Republican vote in your precinct.” Middleton is one of multiple rioters with local Republican Party ties. Derrick Evans, a former member of the West Virginia House of Delegates, and Jorge Riley, former secretary for the State Board of the California Republican Assembly, are among those who have faced criminal charges for participating in the riot. Both men resigned after the riot. Middleton and his wife, Jalise Middleton, were both arrested and face seven federal charges each. They have pleaded not guilty. Their attorney did not respond to a request for comment. Middleton also worked as an election clerk in two recent Cooke County elections, according to Pam Harrison, the Cooke County clerk and elections administrator. Clerks are usually picked by the precinct election judge overseeing individual election sites. “These people tried to overturn the election. I don’t want someone like that near a poll,” said John Angus, the chairman of the Cooke County Democratic Party. ‘We are on the front lines’ Mark and Jalise Middleton traveled to Washington, DC, to attend the protest against the certification of the 2020 presidential election. In court documents, FBI investigators say the Middletons marched from the White House to the Capitol grounds where they engaged in violent confrontations with two police officers trying to prevent the mob from storming inside the building. On officer body camera footage, federal investigators say Middleton is heard saying “F**K You” after Capitol Police officers warn him and other rioters to “get back.” The court documents allege the Middletons helped knock down a barrier that allowed hundreds of other protesters to storm the west side of the Capitol. Investigators say the Middleton couple assaulted the officers by repeatedly grabbing and striking at them with their hands. The couple would later write in Facebook posts that the officers doused them in pepper spray to keep the crowd from moving forward. Investigators say the Middletons documented their movements on January 6 in a series of now deleted Facebook postings. “We are on the front lines. We helped push down the barriers,” Middleton wrote in the Facebook post, according to federal investigators. “We had to retreat, but more patriots pushed forward, and they’re taking back our house.” Mark Middleton started volunteering with the Cooke County Republican Party last year before he was appointed as a precinct chair, according to McNamara. Cooke County is deeply conservative and sits on the Texas-Oklahoma border about 65 miles north of the Dallas-Fort Worth area. Trump won the county in the 2020 election with 82% of the vote. Middleton was appointed to the precinct chair position as Trump was scaling up his fraudulent attacks on the 2020 election results. But McNamara says he doesn’t know if Trump’s lies about the election inspired Middleton to take on a more official role in local party politics. “I never got extreme vibes from him,” McNamara said. “I felt that he was disappointed that President Trump lost.” If he chooses, Mark Middleton will be able to serve out the remainder of his term until March 2022. The Cooke County Republican chairman says the party “has no mechanism for removing him” from office. McNamara said he was “very disappointed” in Middleton’s actions and the Cooke County Republican Party does not condone the attack on the Capitol. “It’s a sad day in American history,” he said. “It’s not the way we do things.”)

She said Illinois’ population loss is being driven by downstate declines. “The decline is occurring in the smaller areas, smaller towns, primarily places that are rural,” she said. She said the loss of manufacturing jobs for decades is a big factor in that movement. Cordova said the state must begin to do things differently to reverse the trend, especially in rural areas.)

WASHINGTON TIMES
— Biden’s racial equity agenda targets ‘exclusionary’ single-family neighborhoods – Kery Murakami (DIERSEN: Many in my Wheaton precinct believe that the south side of Roosevelt Road between the Prairie Path and Main Street is targeted for low-income apartment buildings.)
https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2021/apr/28/biden-racial-equity-agenda-targets-exclusionary-si/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: President Biden wants to transform the character of many American cities and suburbs by building more apartment buildings in quiet and frequently disproportionately White neighborhoods of single-family homes. The Biden administration sees remnants of America’s segregationist past in what it calls “exclusionary” zoning laws, which allow only single-family homes in large swaths of cities and suburbs. As part of a racial equity agenda the president is pursuing in his massive infrastructure plan, Mr. Biden would send federal grants to cities if they eliminate those zoning laws and allow more lower-income people, often minorities, in areas that typically have better schools and fewer social ills that plague poor, inner-city communities.)

https://www.lutheranworld.org/blog/dont-go-down-road
(FROM THE ARTICLE: I was a teenager when it started. It was a time of profound changes in Chilean society, with polarized opinions. People increasingly resorted to a demonization of the other. Hate speech began to spread and became “normal”. History tells us, that where hate speech prevails, violence follows. This happened in my country Chile, and it happens today in many countries in the world. In Europe too. Hate speech erodes the public space of society. It stigmatizes individuals and groups because of their political convictions, religious believes, origin, the colour of their skin, gender. Hate speech makes the collective moral compass of society to go astray, and eventually leads to the collapse of democracy. What follows is a nightmare. When individuals and groups demonize the other, they unleash the demon of violence, oppression, and dehumanized treatment of the other. Hate speech leaves destruction in its wake.)

I would focus on candidates for U.S. Senate, U.S. Representative, statewide Illinois offices, Illinois Senate, Illinois Representative, countywide DuPage candidates, DuPage County District 4 candidates, Milton Township candidates, and Wheaton candidates.)

My Democrat superiors in the federal government would not have taken the following adverse actions against me if I had been a Democrat, minority, female, or 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 $20,361 (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 to resign in 1969 and disallowed my sick leave requests in 1969 and 1968.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: A part of this blue/red separation is the manifest “Digital Apartheid” that is being applied by the blue side to the red side to create two social media systems. This Digital Apartheid is pervasive and driven by the new, vicious, lockstep, “social justice” mantra that has taken over the automatons who lead U.S. social media. We are experiencing an unprecedented shakedown by groups such as Black Lives Matter (BLM) and Antifa who broadcast through their relentless bullhorn of social media and old media. There are now two business systems in America—blue and red. Many of the businesses that lead major market sectors have now revealed themselves to be de-facto thought police to enforce Social Justice. MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell is the poster child of this, as he has been targeted for elimination by the self-appointed high priests of “wokism.” We’re also finding out there are two financial systems in America, as those with capital now act as the gatekeepers of who receives capital and who is excluded. Bank of America has become “Bank of who I decide to allow access to the capital system.” That’s a far cry from the intent of its founder, who wanted to make sure all had access. The modern bank staff has now become an appendage of the virtue-signaling synchronized chorus. There are now two media systems in America. The Hollywood award shows are now a Roman circus of self-loathing, lecturing, and virtue signaling. Few are watching these award shows—in fact, few are watching legacy media as ratings collapse. It’s curious from an agnostic business perspective how CNN even survives at this point in time. Somehow the citizen’s pocketbook is being fleeced by corporations and advertisers who recycle ad revenue through “woke” media to keep them alive when it’s patently obvious the viewership has imploded—but that’s the beauty of the new era of crony capitalism (which is a transition phase to socialism). The citizens of our nation have consciously or unconsciously chosen sides. If you’re angry at yourself for not being woke enough and have righteous virtue-signal signs in your yard lauding BLM, you’re likely on the blue side. If the drivel of virtue signaling makes no sense to you, you’re probably on the red side.)
