CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— President Biden’s age shouldn’t matter. But it does, at least for me. – JERRY DAVICH (DIERSEN: How old are you? I am 72. All my critics/opponents, all their operatives and all their dupes promote age discrimination. In my defense, I stress that no health problem or any other kind of problem has stopped me from putting together and sending out a GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletter each and every morning since 2004 and each and every evening since 2015. That is 7,718 newsletters. Those newsletters have included links to more than 390,590 articles and information on many upcoming events.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: I’ve learned that ageism and age stereotyping are very real prejudices in our society. I’m guilty of both on occasion, including my feelings about President Joe Biden. His age, 78, was one of my biggest concerns toward his candidacy for president. It had nothing to do with his physical body or his determination to serve in office, only his mind. As he begins serving his four-year term, will he have the razor-sharp mental acuity needed for such a challenging job position, long day after long day?)

— Indian village cheers for Harris during swearing-in as US VP. Harris’ grandfather was born more than 100 years ago. Many decades later, he moved to Chennai, the capital of Tamil Nadu state. Harris’ late mother was also born in India, before moving to the U.S. to study at the University of California. She married a Jamaican man, and they named their daughter Kamala, a Sanskrit word for “lotus flower.” – AP (DIERSEN: If you became famous, what would those in your ancestral village think of you?)

— Do You Have A Plan for Your Life? – Tim Hetzner (DIERSEN: What plans have you had? My plan for a Post Office career ended in 1969 when my Democrat Post Office superiors succeeded in forcing me to resign. My plan for a career in the automotive industry ended in 1971 when Oldsmobile withdrew a job offer that I had accepted saying that Oldsmobile had just agreed to stop hiring Whites to settle an EEOC complaint. My plan for an IRS career ended in 1974 when my Democrat IRS superiors disallowed my partial day per diem claims and it further ended in 1975 when they got rid of my mentor, in 1978 when they disallowed my education deductions, and when they made it clear that they would never promote me to GS-13. My plan for a GAO career ended in 1980 when my Democrat GAO superiors forced me to take a $20,361 (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO and it further ended when they kept me off audits of IRS for all but 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for GAO, in 1987 when they got rid of my mentor and made it clear that they would never promote me to GS-14, when they gave me unfair performance expectations and appraisals and always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes, and when they forced me to retire in 1997 when I was 49 years old.)

— Capitol attack will spur broad crackdown on domestic extremists – Matt Zapotosky and Shane Harris (DIERSEN: Of course, moderates, that is, anti-conservatives, who run Republican organizations in Illinois will use the Capitol attack to get rid of Republican Precinct Committeemen/Captains who are conservative once and for all. I should write a book about moderate, that is, anti-conservative leaders of the Illinois Republican Party, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Milton Township Republican Organization who since 2000 have focused the most on getting rid of conservatives.)

USA TODAY
— As Republicans get more diverse, overlooked white voters are key to future Democratic wins. It’s not sexy or woke, but Democrats should expand their multiracial coalition by adding more whites. The 2020 election showed that’s the way to win. – Jeff Le and Jessica Tarlov (DIERSEN: What do you say to Democrat plant, Libertarian plant, Green plant, Independent plant, and RINO political consultants who advise Republican Party leaders and Republican candidates a) to get more votes from minorities by dumping Whites, b) to get more votes from females by dumping males, c) to get more votes from younger people by dumping older people, d) to get more votes from Trump-haters by dumping Trump-supporters, e) to get more votes from liberals/moderates by dumping conservatives, f) to get more votes from Democrats, Libertarians, Greens, Independents, and RINOs by dumping Republicans, g) to get more votes from LGBTQers by dumping heterosexuals, h) to get more votes from non-married people by dumping married people, i) to get more votes from renters by dumping homeowners, j) to get more votes from non-Christians by dumping Christians, k) to get more votes from non-Protestants by dumping Protestants, k) to get more votes from non-Italian Americas and non-German Americans by dumping Italian Americans and German Americans, and l) to get more votes from those whose ancestors have not been in America for a long time by dumping those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time?

SUN JOURNAL
— Who are the rioters who stormed the Capitol on Jan. 6? Ostensibly protesting an election they may have thought was stolen, their actions fed a larger set of goals that American militants are seizing upon to take more extreme action. – JEFF INGLIS
https://www.sunjournal.com/2021/01/24/who-are-the-rioters-who-stormed-the-capitol-on-jan-6/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: What is the ‘boogaloo’? “QAnon followers, the Proud Boys and the other far-right and alt-right groups that converged on Washington imagined that they were living out the great fantasy that underlies what many consider to be the bible of the white nationalism movement, a 1978 dystopian novel, ‘The Turner Diaries,’ by William Luther Pierce,” writes Jonathan D. Sarna, a scholar of anti-Semitism at Brandeis University. “The novel depicts the violent overthrow of the government of the United States, nuclear conflagration, race war and the ultimate extermination of nonwhites and ‘undesirable racial elements among the remaining White population,’” he explains. This widespread and extremely violent conflagration is often called the “boogaloo” by its adherents.)

LANCASTER ONLINE
— Lancaster County conservatives ponder what it means to be Republican, direction of the party in post-Trump era – CARTER WALKER and GILLIAN McGOLDRICK (DIERSEN: 2,446,891 in Illinois voted for Trump. 193,611 in DuPage County voted for Trump. 20,080 in Milton Township voted for Trump. 157 in my precinct voted for Trump. In Illinois, in DuPage County, in Milton Township, and in Wheaton, hate-filled Trump-hating Trump-haters want everyone to punish Trump a) by voting for Democrats in the April 6, 2021 election, b) by demonizing, denigrating, and condemning their Republican Precinct Committeeman/Captain, and c) by demonizing, denigrating, and condemning all the Republicans who represent them in Illinois, DuPage County, Milton Township, and Wheaton.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: On the one hand are those who were horrified by the Jan. 6 attack and the no-holds-barred efforts to overturn Trump’s loss in the two months after the election. On the other are staunch Trump supporters who believe local GOP officials didn’t do enough to support the president’s fight. The most outspoken of those expressing these opposite views say they can no longer support the Republican Party as it exists today. As a result, the Lancaster County GOP saw hundreds of its registered voters leave the party in the first half of January. In the week of the Jan. 6 attack, 249 Lancaster County Republicans switched their registration to other parties. Of those, 146 became Democrats. These party switches continued into the following week: From Jan. 11 to Jan. 18, 87 Lancaster County Republicans switched their registration to other parties, with 76 becoming Democrats, according to county Pennsylvania Department of State data. For all of 2020, 858 GOP voters in the county switched to other parties, meaning that in just the first two week of 2021 the party lost nearly 40% of the number of voters it lost to other parties in the entire preceding year. Although the party’s margin has narrowed over the past decade, Republicans still make up a slim majority of the county’s registered voters, currently 51.4%, giving the party a firm grasp on elected offices up and down the ballot outside Lancaster city and its suburbs, blue dots on the county’s otherwise dark red political terrain.)

THE HILL
— Section 230’s unconstitutional delegation of power to Big Tech – WILLIAM L. KOVACS (DIERSEN: My critics/opponents want Google, Facebook, etc. to regulate my speech. In addition, they want the Illinois Republican Party, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, Milton Township Republican Organization, Illinois, DuPage County, Milton Township, and Wheaton to regulate my speech. They want the aforesaid to take adverse actions against me if I include links to articles in GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters that they do not like.)
https://thehill.com/opinion/technology/535497-section-230s-unconstitutional-delegation-of-power-to-big-tech
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Two questions must be answered: Can private parties controlling the public square deprive citizens of their right to free speech? and Can Congress empower private parties to regulate competitors? What does section 230 do? Section 230 has two primary provisions. The first exempts internet providers from civil liability for publishing any information from another content provider that is objectionable. The second provision exempts Big Tech from liability when it takes voluntary, good faith actions to restrict objectionable materials or provides the technical means to restrict them. Private parties cannot deprive unpopular citizens of constitutional rights when governing the public square: By granting Big Tech immunity from civil liability when restricting material from the internet it deemed objectionable, Congress encouraged and indirectly authorized private parties to regulate speech. Congress has no constitutional power to authorize private parties to deprive even unpopular citizens of their constitutional rights. Moreover, when private parties control the new public square they function as a government and must provide constitutional rights for all.)

CHICAGO SUN-TIMES
— Biden immigration plan opposed by GOP, conservative groups. Several pro-immigration groups, meanwhile, said they would press Biden to go even further and take steps such as an immediate moratorium on deportations, detentions and new arrests. – AP
https://chicago.suntimes.com/2021/1/19/22239640/biden-immigration-plan-opposed-by-gop-conservative-groups
(FROM THE ARTICLE: “It’s a mass amnesty for almost the entire population of illegal immigrants living in the United States — people who broke our laws to get here and stay here,” said Iowa Sen. Chuck Grassley, top Republican on the Senate Judiciary Committee. He added, “A mass amnesty with no safeguards and no strings attached is a nonstarter.” “There are many issues I think we can work cooperatively with President-elect Biden, but a blanket amnesty for people who are here unlawfully isn’t going to be one of them,” said Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., who is often a central player in Senate immigration battles. That view was shared by Mark Krikorian, executive director of the conservative Center for Immigration Studies, which favors curbing immigration. “Past proposals at least accepted the concept of turning off the faucet and mopping up the overflow. This is nothing but mopping up and letting the faucet continue to run,” Krikorian said. The top lobbyist for NumbersUSA, which also wants to limit immigration, agreed that without changes, the measure seemed destined to receive little if any GOP support. “They’re just going straight-up amnesty,” said the lobbyist, Rosemary Jenks. She said that made the measure likely to fail in the Senate, where it would need at least 10 Republicans to join all 50 Democrats to overcome a filibuster that would kill the measure.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: After the Jan. 6 insurrection of the U.S. Capitol, Illinois State Rep. Tim Butler (R-Springfield) is calling on the Republican party to wipe out any similar problems the party currently has. “My hope is that those of us in the Republican party can own this because this was a rally that was at the behest of the President who is a member of our party. We need to make sure we root out any trouble that we have and make sure people understand this isn’t tolerated in our democracy, we can’t have this. Hopefully going forward it’s something we never see again,” Butler said.)

— Most Democrats See America as Unfair and Discriminatory (DIERSEN: Have you worked for Democrats, worked with Democrats, and/or supervised Democrats? I did for almost 30 years.

According them, because of Republican discrimination against minorities, females, and veterans, if I had been a minority, female, or veteran, none of the aforesaid would have happened and I would never have been able a) to earn a job-related bachelor’s degree when I was 21 in 1970 and job-related master’s degrees when I was 27, 31, and 48, b) to earn job-related professional certifications when I was 30, 32, 41, 45, 47, and 48, or c) to earn a job-related professional license when I was 32.)

My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have always hinted/implied/argued/shouted a) that instead of me, the Post Office should have hired a veteran in 1966, b) that the Post Office should gotten rid of me much sooner than it did so that a veteran could have my job, c) that instead of me, IRS should have hired a veteran in 1971, d) that instead of me, IRS should have promoted veterans in 1972, 1973, and 1974, e) that instead of me, GAO should have hired a veteran in 1980, f) that instead of me, GAO should have promoted a veteran in 1986, and g) that GAO should have gotten rid of me much sooner than it did so that a veteran could have my job and my preferred corner office. Since 1966, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have shouted at veterans, and at everyone else, that I got student draft deferments 1966-1969 and financial hardship draft deferments 1970-1971. While I worked for the federal government 1966-1969 and 1971-1997, just about all of my Democrat superiors and supervisors who were veterans took adverse actions against me.)

— Student-Debt Cancellation Stands Its Best Chance Yet. But Would It Advance Social Justice? – Kelly Field (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.)

— Democrats were for occupying capitols before they were against it – Marc A. Thiessen
https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2021/01/14/democrats-were-occupying-capitols-before-they-were-against-it/?
(FROM THE ARTICLE: “Thousands of protesters rushed to the … Capitol Wednesday night, forcing their way through doors, crawling through windows and jamming corridors.” That is how one newspaper described the storming of the Capitol — not the one in Washington last week, but the state Capitol in Madison, Wis., a decade ago. Back then, thousands of pro-union activists — many bused in from out of state — rampaged through the historic building in an effort to stop a vote on collective bargaining reform legislation. So, when I saw the images of a pro-Trump mob rampaging through the U.S. Capitol last week, my first thought was: What is Scott Walker thinking right now?)
