I served on the IRP Platform and Resolutions Committee in 2008. I have attended all the IRP state conventions since 2000.

All five announced Republican U.S. Senate candidates attended a picnic that I organized in my precinct in 2003. I organized Wheaton’s 2004 and 2005 9/11 ceremonies. I have served as the GOPUSA Illinois Editor since 2000.)

My mother never attended high school. My father worked the office of a nasty chemical plant in Chicago Heights, almost always worked second jobs to pay the family’s bills, did not buy a new car until he was 45 in 1967 and it was a bottom of the line 2-door Chevy, and died suddenly in 1969 when I was 21 years old.)

I would focus on past and present leaders of the Illinois Republican Party, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Milton Township Republican Organization.

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Among the endorsees are the handful of Republicans who have criticized Trump, including Rep. Liz Cheney (Wyo.), who is the former president’s public enemy No. 1 over her repeated criticism of him over the insurrection, and Rep. Adam Kinzinger (Ill.), who may not have a seat to run for after redistricting in Illinois.)

DAILY HERALD
— DuPage Regional Office of Education starts new work-based learning program for high school students – Luann Doman
(COMMENT: Government is nasty. Politics is nasty. Did you work while you were in high school, and if so, how did that impact the rest of your life? During my junior and seniors years and the summer in between at Crete-Monee High School 1964-1966, I washed dishes for the minimum wage in the basement of the S.S. Kresges in Chicago Heights. During the summer of 1966, I cleaned golf shoes, chipped slag, and pumped gasoline. While the money that I earned washing dishes enabled me to buy a new 1966 Pontiac Tempest Sprint (a poor man’s GTO) in May of 1966 to commute to/from classes at UIC from my parents’ home in Crete, the stigma of my having had such “bad jobs” was significant. I delivered mail for the Park Forest Post Office 1966-1969 while I attended UIC 1966-1968 and NIU in 1969. My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have always hinted/implied/argued/shouted a) that they would never have stooped to take those jobs and b) that my having taken those jobs proves that I am a disgusting loser.)

JOURNAL COURIER
— German heritage well-rooted in state – and a cause for celebration – Tom Emery
(COMMENT: All my ancestors immigrated during the 1840s and 1850s to northeast Illinois from what is now Germany. My grandfather on my father’s side fought the Germans during WWI. My uncles on my mother’s side fought the Germans during WWII. My father would have fought the Germans during WWII if he had not been 4-F. I should write a book about those who have used my being 100% German national origin against me the most. I would focus on those who have also used my being baptized, raised, and confirmed as a Missouri Synod Lutheran against me the most.)
https://www.myjournalcourier.com/insider/article/German-heritage-well-rooted-in-state-and-a-16511797.php
(FROM THE ARTICLE: German-American Day is observed every Oct. 6 and, in Illinois, there is plenty of reason to celebrate. German ancestry remains prevalent in Illinois, as it has for a century and a half. The strength of German-Americans helped shape Illinois history through a Civil War, as well as two world wars against the old country. Of the nearly 1.8 million residents of Illinois in 1860, nearly 325,000 were of foreign birth. Germans were the largest ethnic group with 130,000, nearly 8% of the state’s total population. Some 20% of Chicago’s population was German. Many had arrived following the failed German revolution of 1848. . .Many Germans were farmers, while others were laborers, merchants, and skilled tradesmen. Some followed the popular crafts of their homeland and worked as butchers, bakers, shoemakers, furniture and wagon builders, and cigar makers. Architecture of traditionally German-American buildings, often in brick, still is visible across the state. German-language newspapers were found across the state, even in the smallest cities. In 1859, future presidential candidate Abraham Lincoln bought the press and type to establish a German-language Republican paper. In Peoria, future Illinois Secretary of State Edward Rummel, a native of Baden, Germany, ran a German paper and print shop that produced goods in both German and English. John Wood, who founded the city of Quincy and served as governor for 10 months in 1860-61, was born to a German mother. In 1892, John Altgeld, a Prussian native, won election for one term as Illinois governor and is best known for his pardon of three of the accused in the infamous Haymarket Riot. Politically, German support was crucial, and their weight was felt at the first Illinois Republican state convention in 1856. The German influence also was a key factor in the 1860 presidential race, and at the Republican National Convention in Chicago, German resolutions were even incorporated into the national platform. Germans were perceived to be staunch abolitionists, though some scholars dispute that claim. Nearly 6,000 Illinois Germans enlisted in the first six months of the Civil War, comprising practically three whole regiments. One top German commander was Friedrich Hecker, a renowned 1848 revolutionary who was a gentleman farmer near Belleville, in the heart of heavily German settlements. Another German regimental commander from St. Clair County was Gustave Koerner, who served as lieutenant governor of Illinois from 1852 to 1856 and was a pallbearer at Abraham Lincoln’s Springfield funeral. By 1910, more than 319,000 German immigrants were in Illinois, and more than 1 million people of German descent — a 10th of the national total — called the state home. With nearly 400,000 first- and second-generation German immigrants, Chicago was the sixth-largest German city on the globe in 1914. The high concentration of Germans caused some protest at the outbreak of World War I, as many of German descent decried their adopted country’s stance against their homeland. Music by German composers such as Mozart and Beethoven was banned in some public places, and some German-Americans were under surveillance by state and federal officials. Other German-Americans were forced to recite loyalty oaths in public spectacles. Within a few years, use of the German language, once prominent, faded from schools and churches. As a result, many Germans in Illinois distanced themselves from their heritage. From 1914 to 1920, the number of Illinois residents who identified themselves as German on the U.S. Census dropped more than 41%, to 112,000. But many Germans remained loyal to the American cause and took active roles in the war effort both at home and abroad. A quarter-century later, dislike of German residents was a minor issue in World War II, as many chose to focus their disgust on Adolph Hitler, rather than their German neighbors. Today, German heritage in Illinois is celebrated in festivals and carnivals statewide, while some communities in Chicagoland, as well as Moline, Peoria, Gibson City, Mascoutah, Waterloo and Millstadt, feature popular German restaurants. Museums and research centers on German-American history and heritage are found in several large metro areas, including Chicago, Frankfort and the Quad Cities.)

https://dailycaller.com/2021/10/05/victor-davis-hanson-breaks-down-how-elites-are-destroying-what-it-means-to-be-an-american-citizen-in-new-book/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The overarching theory of social scientists and historians is the shift from an “equality-of-opportunity” to an “equality-of-outcome” society. This transformation during the New Deal was the requisite for the entire 1960s continuance under the Great Society programs and their redefinition of civil rights to encompass government-ensured economic parity through higher taxes, income redistribution, massive new government spending, and forced proportional representation by race and gender in hiring and admission. Up until then, Americans traditionally had been open to new and stronger laws protecting equality of opportunity but were wary of the destructiveness of envy, the ancient fuel of an equality-of-result society that saw government punish its more successful citizens.)

FAST COMPANY
— How to make a career change without leaving your current company. Making a lateral move to a different department or function can allow you to explore a new opportunity without having to start over completely. – STEPHANIE VOZZA
(DIERSEN: GAO audits IRS. When I transferred from IRS to GAO in 1980 when I was 31 years old, my Democrat GAO superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates did not want me to transfer, but failing that, they wanted me to transfer as a GS-4 Step 1 (currently $34,956/year) intern, that is, to suffer a $62,439/year (64%) pay cut in today’s dollars. They painted what GAO Analysts do as being a unique “trade or occupation.” They would not have done that if I had been a Democrat, minority, female, or veteran. They viciously demonized, denigrated, and condemned the fact a) that I had worked for IRS as a Revenue Officer for almost 9 years, the last 5 1/2 years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 levels, currently $85,935-$97,395/year, b) that much of what IRS Revenue Officers do is similar to what GAO Analysts do, c) that I had passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, d) that I had earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976, and e) that I had almost completed the requirements for a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul. They were furious a) that I suffered a pay cut of only $20,361/year (21%) in today’s dollars to transfer and b) that I transferred with me almost 12 years of federal seniority, 30 days of unused vacation days, and 130 unused sick days.)

CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— Vietnam’s class war and our wars – DAVID PAUL KUHN
(DIERSEN: What was the biggest mistake that you have made in your life? For me, it was my avoiding the draft. I got student draft deferments 1966-1971 and a financial hardship draft deferment 1970-1971. I should write a book about those who have used my avoiding the draft against me the most. I would focus on the adverse actions that a) my Democrat Post Office superiors 1966-1969, b) my Democrat Firestone superior 1970-1972, c) my Democrat IRS superiors 1971-1980, and d) my Democrat GAO superiors 1980-1997 took against me.)
https://www.chicagotribune.com/opinion/commentary/ct-opinion-vietnam-class-war-college-deferments-20211001-imtjszj7wnfuze3kjxgiz5p3oy-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A half-century ago, the cruelest case of legalized class privilege in modern American life was abolished. For America’s “fortunate sons” and future leaders, attending college was such a common route to avoid the Vietnam draft, though the policy’s inequity is now conveniently relegated to the footnotes of that fraught era. Unlike any war since the Civil War, Vietnam asked the least of those who came from more. The war’s unjust burden combined with how the anti-war movement manifested on college campuses — especially elite campuses — led Vietnam to play an early role forming a class and cultural fault line that severs us still. Most of the era’s youth who came to lead us had a student deferment — including Presidents Joe Biden, Donald Trump and Bill Clinton and Vice President Dick Cheney. Other privileged sons, such as President George W. Bush, avoided combat by attaining a coveted National Guard slot. Educational deferments were the lion’s share of the more than 15 million men who legally evaded conscription. College graduates were roughly 6.5 times less likely to serve in Vietnam than other civilians of the same generation. (High school dropouts were twice as likely.) Fewer than a fifth of those with a student deferment came from modest circumstances. By comparison, 7 of 8 protesters in this era had at least one year of higher education. A century after elites lawfully avoided the Union and Confederate drafts, there was again an understanding that only a certain sort did most of America’s fighting and dying in war. As Vietnam escalated in 1967, a majority of male collegians — and half of all students — considered themselves a war “hawk,” but two-thirds of them objected to “the same proportion of college students” being drafted as non-college youth. Rifts within that ’60s generation lingered largely ignored while, polls show, the “generation gap” was overhyped. Blue-collar whites, in particular, were not more supportive of the war than upscale whites but they were exceptionally critical of the anti-war movement. It was their kin and kind shouldering the bulk of the fighting in Vietnam. Because the wealthy were almost exclusively white, white soldiers were “actually more likely than Black veterans to be drawn disproportionately from the working class,” as one study noted. In fact, from their sense of “lost status” to most veterans’ low opinion of “draft dodgers,” veterans’ views were more divided by class than by race. Many of them resented “good boys” marred by the “bad war” and campus activists who lectured those with less status about social justice, even as their college sanctuary meant lowlier boys might die in their place. After the war, James Fallows challenged the “bright people of my generation who made a cult of their high-mindedness” but “willingly took advantage of this most brutal form of class discrimination.” At Boston’s Navy Yard in 1969, Fallows saw his fellow Harvard and MIT students “deliberately failing (their) colorblindness tests,” even as the next bus of the “white proles of Boston” arrived. “We knew now who would be killed.” Yet here we are, recently witnessing the end of another war that went on too long and asked too much of too few. The soldiers of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars disproportionately hailed from veterans’ families and, as with Vietnam, rural areas. Today’s leaders hardly bat an eye at how the coastal enclaves that steward our politics, economics and culture contribute little per capita to the military power that, whatever its mistakes, helps secure their dominance. Our small warrior class does choose to enlist. Though circumstances impact that choice. Struggling youth often still risk the worst in war to get somewhere better in life. Yet most Americans who served and died in Vietnam were also volunteers. And conscription, however divisive, lessened the class divide. The potential to be drafted also invested America in the war’s tragedy, unlike our 9/11 wars. Still, even when the affluent served, they were the least likely to see combat. Draft resistance almost always paid off for those who could pay (for college or a draft-law lawyer). Occupational deferments favored upscale fields. This overall inequity sparked an under-discussed class war that boiled beneath the real war and exacerbated America’s emerging culture war. It also portended a working-class outlook that they bore unfair stigmas and unjust burdens. “The critics are picking on us, just ‘cause we had to fight this war. Where were their sons? In fancy colleges? Where were the sons of all the big shots who supported the war,” one Vietnam veteran asked in Murray Polner’s book “No Victory Parades.” “For every guy who resists the draft one of us gotta go.” After witnessing a protest, the veteran added: “One of their signs read: ‘We’ve already given enough.’ And I thought, ‘What have they given?’” Near the war’s end, David Broder read the book and wrote that it highlighted what we “prefer not to think about … the least democratic war of our century. There was no equality of sacrifice.” Fallows later asked, “Why … especially in the atmosphere of the late sixties, people with any presumptions to character could have let it go on?” And in some sense, why do we still?)

In 1997, when I was 49 years old, my Democrat GAO superiors succeeded in a) forcing me to take their early retirement “offer,” b) giving my job to my Black subordinate, and c) giving my preferred corner office to him. Democrat plants, Libertarian plants, Green plants, Independent plants, and RINOs in the following side with my Democrat GAO superiors: Milton Township Republican Organization, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, Illinois Republican Party, Wheaton Chamber of Commerce, Wheaton Park District (WPD), Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, Illinois, TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois, Illinois Center Right Coalition, American Association of Political Consultants Midwest Chapter, conservative organizations, religious organizations, those who I have sued, and Democrat plant, Libertarian plant, Green plant, Independent plant, and RINO candidates on ballots in my precinct and their political consultants, major donors, fundraisers, pollsters, campaign managers, campaign staff members, and campaign volunteers.

USA TODAY
— When will Christians learn from the unending engagement cycle of evangelicalism and race? Evangelical culture is an unending story of engagement, retreat when pressures intensify, and regret at our failure to achieve any lasting change. – Ed Stetzer, Executive Director, Wheaton College Billy Graham Center
https://www.usatoday.com/story/opinion/2021/09/28/bible-evangelicals-duty-fight-racism/5847173001/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: As the executive director of the Wheaton College Billy Graham Center, one of my joys is leading people through our museum. Filled with historical artifacts and pictures, it’s a testimony to God’s faithfulness. One of my favorite pictures is of Billy Graham standing next to Martin Luther King Jr. I start by telling people how Graham took down segregation ropes for his meetings in the South. But the story doesn’t stop there. Historian Grant Wacker notes that as the civil rights movement intensified, Graham distanced himself from King by attempting to chart a moderate path. Decades later, Graham himself would speak of his lack of engagement in the civil rights movement as one of his great regrets. This same story of engagement, retreat and regret has come to define an evangelical culture that is bigger than Billy Graham.)

They stress that I was not paid for what I did as a TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois chairman 2005-2012, Wheaton Chamber of Commerce Government Affairs Committee member 2003-2011, Milton Township Republican Organization webmaster 2008-2010 and 2000-2004, Illinois Center Right Coalition Steering Committee member 2003-2007, or American Association of Political Consultants Midwest Chapter board director 2001-2004. They stress that GAO forced me to take its early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years old. I should use some of my worthless time to write a book about my critics/opponents.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Founded in 2012 in Japan, the company launched to the U.S. in 2014 and expanded its local news footprint early last year. While the app’s content team includes former journalists, machine learning is used to pick which articles are shown to readers to personalize their experience. However, one of the app’s key differentiators is how it works to pop users’ “filter bubbles” through its “News From All Sides” feature, which allows its users to access news from across a range of political perspectives. . .The aggregator’s business model is largely focused on advertising, as the company has said before that 85-90% of Americans aren’t paying to subscribe to news. But SmartNews’ belief is that these news consumers still have a right to access quality information. In total, SmartNews has relationships with more than 3,000 global publishing partners whose content is available through its service on the web and mobile devices. To generate revenue, the company sells inline ads and video ads, where revenue is shared with publishers. Over 75% of its publishing partners also take advantage of its “SmartView” feature. This is the app’s quick-reading mode, an alternative to something like Google AMP. Here, users can quickly load an article to read, even if they’re offline. The company promises publishers that these mobile-friendly stories, which are marked with a lightning bolt icon in the app, deliver higher engagement — and its algorithm rewards that type of content, bringing them more readers. Among SmartView partners are well-known brands like USA Today, ABC, HuffPost and others. Currently, over 70% of all SmartNews’ pageviews are coming from SmartView first.)
