https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2020/06/mandatory_groupthink_dare_to_deviate_from_leftist_orthodoxy_and_be_damned.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The stories of people in high office, or any office or job, being fired or forced to resign for past breaches of the prescribed dogma are multiplying by the day. Even the editor of the food and cooking magazine, Bon Appetit, Adam Rapoport, had to resign after his wife posted a seven year-old photo of herself and her husband dressed as Puerto Ricans for a Halloween party, wearing ‘brownface’ makeup. That was it; he was out. A Serbian soccer player, Aleksandar Katai, has been fired because his wife posted something in Serbian that was deemed critical of Black Lives Matter. Stan Wischnowski, 20-year editor at the Philadelphia Inquirer was fired for a headline: Buildings Matter Too! This was considered an offensive mockery of Black Lives Matter. James Bennet, the op-ed editor at the New York Times, was forced to resign after staff complained about his approving of an op-ed by Rep. Tom Cotton supporting the use of our military if needed to quell riots and looting. A majority of Americans agree with the senator but it was a serious transgression at the NYT that has from the moment Trump was elected vowed to dedicate their every published word to his destruction. A woman called radio host Dennis Prager to report that a woman she knew was called on the carpet by her boss for not posting support for BLM on any social media. Her silence was a crime. America has drifted into very dangerous territory. The First Amendment is seriously under attack with the wholesale approval of the Democrat party. The party of JFK is now the party of Antifa, Black Lives Matter and the ignorant moonbattery of AOC and her Muslim gal pals Rashida Tlaib and Ilhan Omar. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has become something of a joke who has entered Biden’s realm of fast-approaching dementia. Her photo-op stunt of kneeling for nine minutes in honor of George Floyd draped with kente cloth was a ridiculous bit of bad political theater. Kira Davis called it “political blackface.” They did this after excoriating President Trump for walking to St. James Church that had been set on fire by rioters, bible in hand. They called that a photo-op, but it was clearly done to draw attention to the senseless destruction that had occurred. Every corporation, large and small, every restaurant chain, every media outlet and anchor are twisting themselves into pretzels vowing their unctuous servility to what is perhaps just a DNC money-laundering scheme. It appears that contributions to BLM go directly to the DNC. Know that BLM is not what it appears to be. It is a Marxist-Leninist organization but in a way truly antithetical to the values of America that most of us hold dear.)

MERCURY NEWS & WBUR
— The rotten luck of graduating into a recession – Jill Schlesinger (DIERSEN: What year did you graduate from college? I graduated in 1970 from NIU with a bachelor’s degree in management. What negatively impacted your job search? For me, it was my being draft bait. My father had died suddenly in October of 1969. Potential employers did not believe that my financial hardship draft deferment application to support my mother and brother in Crete would be approved. Further, potential employers were under tremendous pressure to hire minorities, females, and veterans. Consequently, I took the only job offer that got — retail sales manager for the Firestone Store in Chicago Heights. The job did not really require a college degree. Constructively, I was the store’s salesman. Advancement opportunities were limited and slow. The store’s manager did not approve of my demographics (draft avoider, German-American, and Protestant). He never would have hired me, but Firestone Stores headquarters forced him to take me.)

What do they think of their constituents who are Trump supporters, conservative, patriotic, Republican, American, White, male, older, heterosexual, non-poor, gun owners, Protestant, German American, draft avoiders, and those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time? )

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Also running as a Democrat in the 9th District is Ally Layman, a member of the Mayor’s LGBTQ Advisory Committee and the Diversity and Inclusion Committee. A vocal advocate and supporter of social rights, Layman is involved in local events concerning self-pride and diversity, which she intends to make one of her key focuses in office. “Communication is key,” said Layman. “We need to make sure we’re speaking effectively to our people, but that we’re also hearing, listening and learning from them in turn.” Though it is her first time running for any public office, Layman believes she has the experience needed to speak for an evolving Huntington. She intends to prioritize inclusion, diversity and maintaining safety around the city, as well as pursuing programs to help clean the city.)

Presser (DIERSEN: What do you say to Democrat plant, Libertarian plant, Green plant, and RINO activists, candidates, elected officials, party leaders, major donors, political consultants, campaign managers, etc. who talk and/or act like they are Democrats concerning diversity? They focus on getting rid of Republicans who are Trump supporters, conservative, patriotic, White, male, older, non-poor, gun owners, Protestant, German American, draft avoiders, and/or those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time.)
https://www.newsmax.com/stephenbpresser/maga-deplorables-people/2020/06/05/id/970760/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Democrats claim that Donald Trump seeks to divide America, but it’s the progressives like Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden, who maintain that there are good and bad Americans, and, presumably, that the bad should be ignored or silenced. Hillary bemoaned the “basket of deplorables” supporting Trump, and Biden dismisses “from 10 to 15 percent of the people out there who are just not very good people.” The Democratic Party is now committed to an adversarial ideology of “Us” vs. “Them.” The very core of identity politics is a marking out of groups — Women, African Americans, Hispanics, Native Americans, Gays and Lesbians, Transgenders, and others — groups against which America is alleged to have wrongly discriminated. Their claim is that these groups are entitled to an ameliorating redistribution of resources, to be funded by increasing taxes on the wealthy and privileged — presumably the nefarious beneficiaries of this alleged discrimination.)

CITY OF WHEATON
— Wheaton Community Update
https://www.wheaton.il.us/civicalerts.aspx?AID=410
(FROM THE UPDATE: Many of the communities surrounding Wheaton experienced a high volume of criminal activity at shopping malls, government buildings, and business districts last evening. This disruption also caused public transportation such as CTA and Metra to temporarily suspend services in some areas. While Wheaton’s businesses were not directly affected last evening, the Wheaton Police Department encourages its residents and community members to stay safe by following these safety tips. Expect delayed openings of some area businesses. Check or follow a business’s social media or website for changes to hours of operation. When commuting, travelling, or planning a shopping trip to other neighboring communities check local news to ensure it is safe to do so and the business is open. If you witness criminal or suspicious activity, say something. Get to a safe location and call 9-1-1 for police response. The Wheaton Police Department will continue to maintain an increased presence throughout our community in the coming days and encourages its residents and community members to stay up-to-date by following the City of Wheaton on Facebook, Twitter (@CityOfWheaton), and email updates.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: The WOTC encourages “employers to hire and train people who are experiencing severe difficulties that are often linked to unemployment,” such as recipients of certain federal and state assistance programs, individuals who have completed or are completing certain rehabilitative services, and certain individuals convicted of felonies, by offering them tax credits. To qualify for the WOTC tax credit, employers must “obtain official confirmation of job applicants’ WOTC eligibility status before” making an offer of employment.)

LEXOLOGY
— Selecting Employees for Recall or Rehire – Shawe Rosenthal (DIERSEN: Overwhelmingly, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes a) demonize, denigrate, and condemn seniority and b) promote demographics. They promote those who are minority, female, younger, veteran, non-conservative, non-Protestant, non-German American, those whose ancestors have not been in America for a long time, etc. They promote those who promote LGBTQ activity, abortion, mass/illegal immigration, booze, gambling, pot, and other vices, abolition of the First and Second Amendments, patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation for opposing the aforesaid. What seniority do/did you have? I have 20 years seniority as a Milton Township Republican Organization (MTRO) member and as the GOPUSA ILLINOIS Editor and 6 years as a MTRO webmaster. I have almost 7 years seniority as a TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois chairman, 8 years as a Wheaton Chamber of Commerce (WCC) Government Affairs Committee member, 4 years as an Illinois Center Right Coalition (ICRC) Steering Committee member, 3 years as an American Association of Political Consultants (AAPC) Midwest Chapter board member, and 13 years as an Association of Government Accountants (AGA) Chicago Chapter Executive Committee member. In 1997, I had almost 30 years federal seniority – almost 18 years working for GAO, almost 9 years working for IRS, and almost 3 years working for the Post Office. I should write a book about the many similarities between my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes a) in MTRO, TAPROOT, WCC, ICRC, AAPC, AGA, and b) GAO, IRS, and the Post Office.)
https://www.lexology.com/library/detail.aspx?g=b16b7e14-6c13-4aab-a5b8-78379c8ffbdf
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The traditional selection criteria for layoffs and recalls, commonly specified in collective bargaining agreements, are seniority and ability to perform the job. In a case alleging intentional discrimination, choosing the most senior qualified employee for recall is likely to accepted as a non-discriminatory explanation. Seniority systems can have an adverse impact on groups that were subject to exclusion in the past; however, it is not discriminatory to follow a bona fide seniority system. To be considered a “bona fide seniority system” the system must give primary weight to seniority, be communicated to affected employees and be consistently applied. Nor is it discriminatory to follow a seniority system if it has no adverse impact on any protected group. Many employers believe that seniority should not be a controlling factor, because length of service does not necessarily correlate with employees’ value to them. Employer can choose employees for recall based on any non-discriminatory criteria, such as quality of work, quantity of work, attendance, job related skills, etc. However, management’s subjective impressions about employees are vulnerable to attack on the grounds that they are based on negative stereotypes. It is much safer to rely on performance appraisals that were based on objective criteria and documented.)

https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/trumps-social-media-e-o-would-sabotage-his-reelection-by-deplatforming-himself
(FROM THE ARTICLE: So, it’s worth considering just what the ramifications of repealing Section 230 would be. Turns out, it would actually be a very bad thing not just for freedom of expression online, but also for the president’s personal political fortunes. Despite all the confusion and obfuscation from critics, here is how Section 230 actually works. It gives all platforms and publishers alike liability protection for open platform content and allows leeway for moderation. For example, this applies to both Twitter and the New York Times. Legally speaking, a Twitter post’s user is responsible for the content, not Twitter, the same is true in the comments sections of the New York Times.)
