DAILY HERALD
— Kinzinger’s real motive – Dave Van Singel, Long Grove (DIERSEN: I should write a book about RINOs. RINOs do little or nothing to defend or advance the traditional marriage/family, right to life, immigration, illegal drugs, Second Amendment, or equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) planks in the Republican Party platform. RINOs destroy those like me who support the aforesaid planks. RINOs promote dependency on government, dependency on charity, LGBTQ, abortion, mass/illegal immigration, booze, gambling, pot, and other vices, abolition of the First and Second Amendment, patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination. RINOs do everything that they can to harm/destroy Republican and conservative organizations including the Illinois Republican Party (IRP), DuPage County Republican Central Committee (DCRCC), Milton Township Republican Organization (MTRO), TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois, and Illinois Center Right Coalition. RINOs do everything that can a) to stop me from sending out GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters and b) to stop everyone from reading those newsletters. RINOs talk and/or act like they Democrat plants, Libertarian plants, Green plants, and/or Independent plants. I should write a book about RINOs. I would focus on RINOs who have/had lots of religious, government, political, and/or financial clout in Illinois, DuPage County, Milton Township, and Wheaton. I would focus on those who are/were leaders of the IRP, DCRCC, and MTRO.)
https://www.dailyherald.com/discuss/20210319/kinzingers-real-motive
(FROM THE LETTER: Just recently, March 11, Rep. Kinzinger went full RINO, joined nine other Republicans and voted with Democrats on a bill that will vastly expand required background checks on gun purchasers. One has to wonder that, in order to save his political career in congress, if he will change his party affiliation before November 2021. Good luck, Rep. Kinzinger.)

CBS2
— Preventing Age Discrimination – Audrina Bigos (DIERSEN: Candidates for jobs with the federal government who are Republican, White, male, and/or non-veteran should be advised a) that their careers will be wasted and they will be gotten rid of if they do not make GS-13 (currently $102,188) by age 25, GS-14 (currently $120,755) by age 30, GS-15 (currently $142,041) by age 35, and Senior Executive Service (currently $172,500) by age 40 and b) that extremely few federal employees make the aforesaid promotion deadlines.)
https://chicago.cbslocal.com/2021/03/18/career-coach-age-discrimination/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Through this pandemic, the CBS 2 career coach is giving advice about looking for and landing a job, as we continue Working For Chicago. This week our career coach is sharing how to prevent possible age discrimination against older job seekers. “People in that group feel vulnerable, they feel like they’re not sure if they are a viable candidate in the marketplace,” Lynee Alves, president of Interview Like An Expert, said. “For candidates who have more experience, maybe 20 plus years, there are things you can do to make sure you don’t reveal your age.” Alves recommends considering not putting these things on your resume. Leave off your date of birth in your e-mail address, like “johndoe1976.” Don’t put your graduation year and don’t list job experience more than 20 years old that could date you. You can also just leave out the years you worked at those places. “Focus on those jobs that ask for 10 or 15 years of experience,” She said. “That may mean you apply to fewer jobs, but in the end, you’re going to have a more focused and productive job search.”)

FOX NEWS CHICAGO
— Illinois program scrubs student loans for people who buy a home (DIERSEN: One could ask me what if I could have gotten a student loan? I would have used the many hours that I worked during my junior and senior years in high school and the summer in between washing dishes a) to study, b) to get better grades, c) to get a higher ACT score, and hopefully, d) to get accepted by an Ivy League University. I would have a) majored in accounting, b) earned a master’s degree in accounting much sooner, c) taken and passed the CPA examination much sooner, and d) taken and passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination much sooner than I did.)

BLOOMINGTON PANTAGRAPH
— Illinois GOP chairman Don Tracy hopes to unify party’s factions, defeat Pritzker next year – BRENDEN MOORE (DIERSEN: Political parties exist to help elect candidates who can and will defend and advance their platform. I have always been a platform Republican. I should write a book about Illinois Republican Party leaders who have worked the hardest since 2000 to get rid of Republicans like me who support the traditional marriage/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.)
https://www.pantagraph.com/news/state-and-regional/govt-and-politics/illinois-gop-chairman-don-tracy-hopes-to-unify-partys-factions-defeat-pritzker-next-year/article_9fb79584-66de-5b8a-8d47-5acfddd9bd71.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Tracy is hoping to take the same approach with the Illinois Republican Party, an organization that has been divided between the traditional moderate wing that dominated for decades with central figures like Jim Thompson and Jim Edgar; and an ascendant, conservative wing that has gained traction with the rise of the Tea Party movement and the election of President Donald Trump in 2016. “I think those are the kind of issues that are somewhat similar for a party,” Tracy said. “And you can recognize pretty early on in a family business in a large family that the perfect is the enemy of the good. And in the Republican Party, unfortunately, we’ve had experience with people thinking you have to be perfect to be a Republican, and that that’s not true.” . . . However, Tracy said he will put practicality over purity as he seeks to steer his party back to relevance. He said he envisions a big tent party. In fact, it’s a necessity. “The Reagan rule is 80%. If someone agrees with you on 80% of the issues if a Republican, that means that that Republican is your ally, not your enemy,” Tracy said. “If we don’t unite the party, almost nothing else that we do next year will matter,” Tracy said. “We’re a minority party — a Republican Party in a deep blue state. And we have to have all Republicans working together, not always agreeing about everything, but working together to make this state into a two-party state again.” . . . Exacerbating the problem is a national party that is increasingly out of step with the diversifying, socially moderate Chicago suburbs, albeit increasingly reflective of conservative bastions downstate.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: The class of 1949 gifted the plaque to the school in 1957 to commemorate their slain classmates, who were killed in 1956 during their attempt to bring the gospel to the violent Huaorani, or Auca Indians, in the rainforest of Ecuador. Elliot and McCully, along with fellow missionaries Nate Saint, Peter Fleming, and Roger Youderian, initially made friendly contact with the tribe and exchanged gifts for several months. On Jan. 8, 1956, however, a group of Huaorani warriors fell upon them, spearing them to death and throwing their bodies in the river.)

Ever-increasingly, I am a Republican who lives in a Democrat bubble. I should write a book about that.)
https://phys.org/news/2021-03-democrats-republicans-partisan.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: New research on political behavior finds that most Democratic and Republican voters live in partisan bubbles, with little daily exposure to those who belong to the other party. For instance the typical Democrat has “almost zero interactions” with Republicans in their neighborhood, according to an article by Harvard doctoral student Jacob R. Brown and government Professor Ryan D. Enos published March 8 in the journal Nature Human Behaviour. “There’s a lot of evidence that any separation between groups has a lot of negative consequences. We see this in race; we see this in religion; we see this in all kinds of things,” said Enos. “And increasingly, we see this in partisanship in the United States.” . . . No area of the country is immune to the segregation, but its intensity varies. Democrats in large, densely populated cities like New York are the most politically isolated, with 10 percent of them encountering a Republican only one out of 10 times in their neighborhood. Republicans in rural areas are similarly segregated. Overall, most Democrats and Republicans live in levels of partisan segregation that exceed what scholars of racial segregation consider highly segregated, the study found. . .”Even within a neighborhood, Democrats and Republicans are separating from each other a little bit,” said Enos. That seems like “an almost unnatural level of segregation” given the similarities people from the same neighborhood usually share and “might indicate there’s something pretty pernicious going on,” he added.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Conservative writer Michael Medved estimates that only 5% of whites in America “bear any authentic sort of generational guilt for the exploitation of slave labor.” Why should anyone but Democrats pay? Scholar Dinesh D’Souza notes that all but a “handful” of slave owners were Democrats. The Ku Klux Klan, at its height of power and popularity, was known by the NAACP as the “terror wing” of the Democratic Party. The KKK was founded by Democrats; I did not say by the Democratic Party, but by Democrats. As a percentage of their party, more House Republicans voted for the Civil Rights Act of 1964 than did House Democrats. As a percentage of their party, more Senate Republicans voted for the Civil Rights Act of 1964 than did Senate Democrats.)

That money also enabled me to buy a new 1972 Corvette in October 1971 and to pay tuition and books for graduate business courses at Loyola starting in January 1972. I had graduated debt-free from NIU August 1970 owning a 1969 Dodge Charger SE.

CHICAGO SUN-TIMES
— Trump attacks Kinzinger, other Republicans who backed impeachment in CPAC speech. “I’m not surprised by anything he said. I expected to be called out by name. I’m surprised it’s taken this long,” said Kinzinger.” – Lynn Sweet (DIERSEN: How soon, if not already, will Kinzinger-loving hate-filled Trump-hating a) Republican candidates on April 6, 2021 ballots for your precinct and b) Republican organizations in Illinois, in your county, and in your township/ward officially dump Republican Precinct Committeemen/Captains like me who do not love Kinzinger or hate Trump?)
https://chicago.suntimes.com/columnists/2021/2/28/22306565/trump-attacks-rep-adam-kinzinger-other-republicans-who-backed-impeachment-cpac-speech-pac
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Kinzinger is raising money through his federal Future First PAC for his recently launched “Country First” campaign to drain Trump’s influence, fringe elements and conspiracy theory followers from the Republican Party. Donations to that Kinzinger Future First political war chest are subject to federal contribution caps. Allies of Kinzinger are creating “Americans Keeping Country First,” which will be able to take donations in unlimited sums. “Americans Keeping Country First is the only Super PAC dedicated exclusively to protecting Republican members who voted to impeach or convict” Trump, the group said. According to memos obtained by the Chicago Sun-Times, this super PAC, first disclosed by the Washington Post, will be “dedicated solely to defending the Republican members of Congress who took votes of conscience to impeach or convict President Trump after rioters stormed the Capitol complex on January 6th, 2021.” Even though this group cannot coordinate with Kinzinger’s political drives, he plans to headline events on its behalf where he will “promote” his Country First principles, the group said. This is allowed under Federal Election Commission rules. The goal, the group said, is to “build a potent political operation that provides a counterweight to far-right candidates and groups that threaten primary campaigns against principled House Republican members.” Ardent Trump backer Catalina Lauf announced a Kinzinger 2022 GOP primary challenge. Kinzinger has not made his 2022 plans known. . .Illinois GOP Party not pursuing Kinzinger censure Several Illinois county GOP organizations and the Chicago Republican Party have censured Kinzinger in the wake of his impeachment vote. The Chicago GOP party vote on Feb. 23 was among 34 ward committeemen; the organization has 16 of those 50 ward spots unfilled. What’s noteworthy is that the Illinois Republican Party is not pursuing a Kinzinger censure. According to the GOP party spokesman, the view of the new state GOP party chair, Don Tracy, is that the state party “will not be censuring Congressman Kinzinger. His goal is to unite the party and stop the circular firing squad.”)

https://www.latimes.com/politics/story/2021-02-28/trump-cpac-speech-get-rid-of-them-all
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.), one of the pro-impeachment Republicans Trump singled out, said earlier in the day that the former president’s focus on retribution would continue to divide their party. “I think we are a party that’s been for too long peddling in fear, using fear as a compelling way to get votes. And fear does motivate,” he said in an interview on CBS’ “Face the Nation.” “But after a while, fear can destroy a country, can destroy narratives, and it can destroy a democracy,” he said. “And we have to quit peddling that.”)

MORNING BREW
— Why Publishers Put Up Paywalls. We know they can be a buzzkill; here’s why paywalls exist. – Eliza Carter (DIERSEN: www.gopillinois.com will never have a paywall or advertising. GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletter subscriptions will always be free and without advertising. Needless-to-say, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes are furious about that. They are furious that I have the time, money, ability, and motivation to put together and send out a GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletter each and every morning and each and every evening.)
https://www.morningbrew.com/daily/stories/2021/02/05/publishers-put-paywalls
(FROM THE ARTICLE: At Morning Brew, frustrated readers email us all the time about getting blocked from reading content we’ve recommended in the newsletter, and as readers ourselves, we empathize. But I want to take a moment to explain why publishers put up paywalls—and unpack the economics a bit. First, the basics. Any publisher, from the New Yorker to Cracked, traditionally brings in revenue from either a) advertising or b) subscriptions. Advertising is great—Morning Brew built a tremendous ad-based business—but subscriptions can be steadier. If the economy takes a dip, ad spending usually does too. How do you drive subscriptions? Not by giving away content for free. Hence, paywalls.)

https://www.chicagotribune.com/politics/ct-marie-newman-marjorie-taylor-greene-transgender-rights-20210225-bx67japa3fbmlhvqhrrgab4sni-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: On Wednesday, Taylor Green gave a floor speech in opposition of the bill and then unsuccessfully tried to adjourn the House to block its movement through the chamber. That prompted Newman, whose new office in Washington’s Longworth House Office Building is directly across the hall from Taylor Greene’s, to display a transgender flag in the hallway. Newman tweeted a video of herself putting up the flag so that Taylor Greene “can look at it every time she opens her door.” That prompted Taylor Greene to post a similar video of herself putting up a sign on the wall across the hall from Newman that reads, “There are TWO genders MALE & FEMALE. ‘Trust the science!’”)
