CHICAGO SUN-TIMES
— City employees still don’t get regular performance evaluations, watchdog says. Departing Inspector General Joe Ferguson warned last fall the city’s failure to conduct regular evaluations for nearly half of its 33,000 employees left personnel decisions “vulnerable to appearances and suspicions of favoritism.” – Fran Spielman (DIERSEN: In Diersen v. GAO, I entered into the court record all the many performance evaluations that I received while I worked for GAO 1980-1997. Not one of them justified any of the many adverse actions that my Democrat GAO superiors took against me.)

— SIU paper details cannabis economics, long-term health effects in Illinois – Elizabeth Barmeier (DIERSEN: I should write a book about my pot pushing critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes who have worked the hardest against me because I oppose pot.)
https://fox2now.com/news/illinois/siu-paper-details-cannabis-economics-long-term-health-effects-in-illinois/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Cannabis can have negative consequences on those who use it continuously, according to a Southern Illinois University paper. The negative effects include periodontal disease, socioeconomic problems, and educational attainment, among others. “The Effects of Legalization of Recreational Cannabis In Illinois” also dives into the use rates among youth, women, and adults in the United States; the effectives of legalization of recreational cannabis among adolescents, college students, and pregnant women; and the decrease in the perception of cannabis harmfulness. As states across the country are considering legalizing recreational marijuana, the Cannabis Regulation and Tax Act went into effect Jan. 1, 2020, in Illinois. It allows adults, 21 and over, to legally purchase recreational marijuana. According to the study, Illinois had collected $100 million in tax revenue from cannabis sales in Oct. 2020. For more information, read the full paper ( https://opensiuc.lib.siu.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1066&context=ppi_papers ). The paper was written by Stephanie Chambers-Baltz and it was published in The Simon Review.)

— 7 Signs Your Kid Might Be Learning CRT At School (satire)
https://babylonbee.com/news/7-signs-your-kid-might-be-learning-crt-at-school
(FROM THE ARTICLE: 1) They call your boss to tell how racist you are: If your kid tries to get you canceled because you perpetuate systems of oppressive whiteness by treating all races equally–which is totally racist– they might be learning CRT. 2) They segregate all their stuffed animals by fur color: Kids who have been taught CRT know the value of creating segregated, decolonized spaces for their stuffies of color to play without white harassment. 3) They come home with purple hair and a ‘Kill All Men’ tattoo: This look is the standard issue for kids who believe all the tenets of CRT. 4) They try to get out of math homework by telling you math is racist: Well, it is. So why are you making them do it, you racist boomer? 5) They refuse to eat on Taco Tuesday due to cultural appropriation: Literally every white ally of social justice knows that enjoying any aspect of another culture that doesn’t belong to your own is racist. Segregate those cultures, Mom and Dad! 6) They ask all their minority classmates to bully them: Are they white? Then they deserve it! 7) They explain over dinner how Marxist ideology is a potent and effective tool for infiltrating all aspects of modern civilization– including culture, religion, economy, and government– in order to dismantle the established order and topple the bourgeois: Wow! so true! If your kid exhibits any of these signs, they’re on their way! Give them a salute, Comrade!)

— Biden Wants the FCC to Fix Net Neutrality—but It Can’t Yet. The FCC won’t be able to do most of the things the president encouraged in his executive order until he nominates a fifth commissioner. (DIERSEN: Of course, my critics/opponents want ISPs to block my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters.)
https://www.wired.com/story/biden-fcc-restore-net-neutrality/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Biden encouraged the FCC to “restore net neutrality rules undone by the prior administration.” Without the Obama-era net neutrality rules, “big providers can use their power to discriminatorily block or slow down online services,” Biden wrote. . .”We are disappointed that the executive order rehashes misleading claims about the broadband marketplace, including the tired and disproven assertion that ISPs would block or throttle consumers from accessing the internet content of their choice,” NCTA said on Friday.)

— Conservative National Radio Host Wayne Allyn Root Announces Support for Black Reparations (DIERSEN: Affirmative Action (AA), Diversity, and Inclusion are reparations. Democrats and RINOs make Republicans pay the price of AA, Diversity, Inclusion, and reparations.)
https://townhall.com/columnists/wayneallynroot/2021/07/11/conservative-national-radio-host-wayne-allyn-root-announces-support-for-black-reparations-n2592315
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Yes, it’s true. I’m that Wayne Allyn Root. I’m the nationally syndicated conservative radio talk show host. And former conservative television host on Newsmax TV. And bestselling conservative author of 14 books — including “Trump Rules,” “The Ultimate Obama Survival Guide,” “Angry White Male” and “The Murder of the Middle Class.” I’m the last guy you’d ever imagine coming out in support of reparations for black Americans. But it’s true. I’m going to be the first high-profile conservative to support reparations. Black Americans deserve reparations. Let’s be honest. Look at their cities in ruins. Black inner cities in America look like Hiroshima and Nagasaki after the atomic bombs hit. Have you been to any of them lately? Of course not. What sane person would take a chance by driving through the Brownsville neighborhood in Brooklyn, or Crown Heights, or Bedford Stuyvesant, or Harlem or the infamous South Bronx? Or how about Chicago’s black South Side? How about virtually all-black inner cities in Detroit; Baltimore; East St Louis; Newark, New Jersey; Oakland, California; Liberty City in Miami; Cleveland; New Orleans, Memphis, Tennessee; Atlanta and more. The list goes on and on. These places are synonymous with murder, violent gangs and violent crime. Black cities and neighborhoods are a war zone. A black-on-black genocide. An American tragedy. Not to mention the drug needles, poop, pee, condoms and garbage that litter their mean and hopeless streets. Black lives do matter. So, yes, they do deserve reparations. But who is to blame? It’s sure not white Americans. Most of us have had nothing to do with the decline of black America. The vast majority of white Americans have never done a bad thing to a black person in our lives. We don’t run their cities. We don’t go near their cities. We literally have nothing to do with black America. And none of us were alive for slavery or the civil war, or Jim Crow. My grandparents came to America in the 1920s. They lived in New York. They experienced their own prejudice and discrimination. My relatives had nothing to do with slavery, racism or any civil rights violations. So, yes blacks are owed reparations. But who’s to blame? There’s only one common denominator: DEMOCRATS. The Democratic Party and Democratic politicians are to blame. It’s the Democratic Party and Democratic politicians who should pay the trillions of dollars. It’s the policies of the Democratic Party that have led to poverty; misery; violent crime through the roof; retail theft on a level never imagined; homelessness; hopelessness; rampant drug dealing and addiction; no fathers in black homes; burned-out buildings; abandoned stores; lack of supermarkets; and streets filled with poop, pee, garbage, condoms and drug needles.)

TEXAS MONTHLY
— Meet the Four Republicans Who Want to Replace Allen West as Texas GOP Chair. The next party leader could continue to wage war on errant Republican elected officials or oversee a détente. – Jonathan Tilove (DIERSEN: One could compare and contrast the Texas Republican Party with the Illinois Republican Party.)
https://www.texasmonthly.com/news-politics/texas-gop-chair-candidates/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: David Covey, one of four candidates to lead the Texas Republican party, has positioned himself as a moderate on perhaps the most pressing issue in the race. On the question of working with Republican elected officials, he doesn’t want Armageddon so much as a reasonable degree of tactical violence. “I don’t think we need to work hand in hand, but I don’t think we need to nuke them either,” Covey, currently the Orange County chairman and representative of Senate District 3 on the State Republican Executive Committee, said at a June 29 forum in Port Neches. “We have to be able to put pressure on our legislators, like a sniper. We pick our target, we ensure we don’t have collateral damage—even the party itself—and then we pull the trigger to make sure we get our priorities passed.” Martial metaphors aside, the 32-year-old Covey represents, believe it or not, something of the peace candidate to lead the Texas GOP past the testosterone-fueled, QAnon-inflected tenure of Allen West, a retired Army lieutenant colonel and former one-term congressman from Florida. For the past year of his short but chaotic reign as party chair, West mostly trained his unfriendly fire on fellow Republicans, including Governor Greg Abbott, whom he characterized as a tyrant for his pandemic response, and House Speaker Dade Phelan, whom he described as a traitor for seeking some Democratic votes to gain the gavel. On June 4, West surprised many by abruptly announcing that he would be stepping down as chairman effective July 11, midway through his two-year term. A month later, on July 4, West formally declared that he would be challenging Abbott, setting off what is likely to be a brutal primary battle.)

Each county has a Republican Central Committee that organizes, campaigns, and elects Republican candidates.

Each voting precinct has a committee person (these are your neighbors!), so contact your local precinct committeeman and ask how you can become involved. It’s easy.

— Race in Chicago: Wide Educational Divide Continues in the City – Chris Coffey (DIERSEN: Were you viewed as being “college material?” I was not. Neither of my outstanding parents attended college. My father was the first of his ancestors to earn a high school diploma. My mother never attended high school. During my junior and senior years in high school and the summer in between 1964-1966, I washed dishes for the minimum wage in the basement of the S.S. Kresges in Chicago Heights. But nevertheless, I a) took college-preparatory courses, b) got into the upper 20% of my class, c) got a 24 on the ACT, d) got accepted by UIC in 1966, e) got accepted by NIU in 1969 and graduated with a bachelor of science degree in management in 1970, f) got accepted by Loyola in 1972 and graduated with an MBA in 1976, g) got accepted by DePaul in 1976 and graduated with a master’s degree in accounting in 1980, h) passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, i) passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981, and j) got accepted by IIT in 1992 and graduated with a master’s degree in finance in 1997. My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes attribute the aforesaid to my benefitting from “White privilege.”)

POLITICO ILLINOIS
— FROM THE ARTICLE: Republican state Rep. Dan Brady hasn’t entered the race to lead the Secretary of State’s Office — he’s still considering it — but a poll he initiated shows him just five points behind Alexi Giannoulias, a frontrunner in the Democratic race. . .Though Brady edges Giannoulias downstate — 21 percent to 14 percent — both politicians would have some heavy lifting to do in the southern part of Illinois. Poll numbers show two-thirds of downstate respondents had never heard of Giannoulias or Brady. The poll also has numbers on Gov. J.B. Pritzker. It shows 72 percent of respondents in Cook County view him favorably, and 52 percent of those in the collars feel the same. Unsurprising, 38 percent of downstate respondents view the governor favorable — and 51 percent of those respondents see him in an unfavorable light. Pritzker has not yet announced that he’ll seek a second term. – SHIA KAPOS

I should write a book about hate-filled Trump-hating Trump-haters who cast Republican primary ballots in my precinct, Wheaton’s West District, Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County’s 4th District, DuPage County, and Illinois.

https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/561380-gop-2024-hopefuls-face-challenge-not-upsetting-trump
(FROM THE ARTICLE: But Trump’s presence hasn’t stopped other Republicans from garnering the interest of party donors and leaders. Several would-be candidates have paraded through Iowa, the first-in-the-nation presidential caucus state, over the past several months for fundraisers and speaking engagements, stirring speculation about their 2024 plans. And a straw poll at the Western Conservative Summit in Denver last month showed DeSantis narrowly edging out Trump for the 2024 presidential nomination, 74.1 percent to 71.4 percent. “Trump is definitely afraid of DeSantis. There’s no question in my mind about that,” Keith Naughton, a veteran Republican strategist, said. “They clearly see him as popular and as a threat to Trump and as someone who could usurp him.” Still, nearly six months after leaving the White House, Trump remains the de facto leader of the Republican Party. A Quinnipiac University poll released in late May found that two-thirds of GOP voters want the former president to run again in 2024, while less than one-third – 30 percent – said he should not.)

https://www.dailyherald.com/discuss/20210703/letter-municipalities-should-not-take-sides-in-pride-politics
(FROM THE LETTER: Third, why should the city of Palatine promote the LGBTQ+ agenda by celebrating Pride Month? To be clear, Pride Month is not about people. Pride Month is about politics and power. It is about demanding that everyone approve and support the LGBTQ+ movement, which again is a political movement. However, not everyone in Palatine agrees with the agenda of the LGTBQ+ movement. If we wish to live in free and diverse communities, we need to care about freedom of conscience and tolerance. People who are not aligned with the LGTBQ+ movement should not have their town taken over for political purposes one month every year. If individuals want to hang a rainbow flag on their house, that is their prerogative. If businesses want to put a rainbow in their window, that is their prerogative. But the village itself should be neutral and not make proclamations for one side or another. When the village government becomes involved, it puts pressure to participate on those who would rather not. The village in a free society should protect its citizens and business owners from coercive pressures, not encourage them.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: “I did this to ensure that they have a better future,” Flores said. But his main reason for becoming a naturalized citizen, he said, was the ability to finally vote. “What if we get another president like Trump and he wants to kick us all out again?” Flores laughed. Donald Trump’s presidency was often criticized for anti-immigrant rhetoric and policies that slowed down the process, or made it more difficult for immigrants to become citizens, said Carlos Arango, a pro-immigrant advocate in the Chicago area. Since taking office, President Joe Biden has issued an executive order to make the naturalization process more accessible, including making $10 million in grants for citizenship preparation programs.)

TWIN CITIES
— St. Paul becomes latest city to study reparations for Black Americans – FREDERICK MELO (DIERSEN: Affirmative Action, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion are reparations. How much reparations have the Democrats forced you to pay? In 1997, when I was 49 years old, my Democrat GAO superiors forced me to take their early retirement “offer” and gave my job and my preferred corner office to my Black subordinate. 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. Previously, 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. Previously, my Democrat Post Office superiors forced me to resign in 1969 and disallowed my sick leave requests in 1969 and 1968.)
