CHICAGO SUN-TIMES
— HARDCOPY SUBTITLE: We have become a nation that is increasingly dependent on government assistance, and it is having a profound effect on our lives and our politics. – Linda Chavez
http://chicago.suntimes.com/opinion/my-familys-history-tells-the-story-of-the-great-american-divide/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Some 15 million people in the U.S. receive disability payments. In some of the 136 counties with the highest rates of disability use across the country, almost all of them rural with a white majority, more than 1 in 6 working-age adults receive federal disability payments. Once on disability, as the Washington Post points out, recipients rarely get off the program. By and large, these are not individuals who fell off a roof and broke their back or lost limbs in an industrial accident. They suffer from back pain or diabetes or emphysema or liver cirrhosis or some other lifestyle-induced ailment. But, perhaps more importantly, they live in communities where job opportunities are few, especially for those who don’t have a college education. But disability programs are just a fraction of the government’s assistance programs. A 2015 study by the U.S. Census Bureau showed that 52.2 million people, or roughly 1 in 5 Americans, received help in 2012 from one of six means-tested programs. And, of course, this doesn’t count Social Security or Medicare, which pays out to individuals on average far more over their lifetimes than they contributed in taxes.)

 

DAILY HERALD
— 3 things you need to know if your basement is flooded  (DIERSEN: What factors increase the likelihood of your basement flooding? Factors for 915 Cove Court in Wheaton include the subdivision being built in a watershed area and a former septic field, the tremendous amount of surface and subsurface storm water that flows onto the lot during and after heavy rains, the inadequate number of storm sewer inlets in the subdivision, the disruption, obstruction, and improper connection of 6″ and 4″ subterranean drainage lines when the home was built, the pouring the foundation walls on cracked footings, the improper installation and intentional blockage of exterior foundation footing tiles, the installation of only one sump pump when there should have been two or even three or even four, the many long and wide cracks in the basement floor, and the fact that all the storm water that gets into the storm sewer system on the lot is limited to the capacity of one 4″ pipe.  What factors decrease the likelihood of your basement flooding?  For 915 Cove Court, they include the installation of steel reinforcement rods in foundation walls, the installation of interior footing tiles, my paying $900 when the home was built in 1984 to have all nine of the home’s downspouts directly connected to Wheaton’s storm sewer system, my installing a backup sump pump, my unobstructed and properly connecting the aforesaid subterranean drainage lines to Wheaton’s storm sewer system, my paying for unobstruction (the removal of stones) from some of the exterior footing tiles, my adding hundreds of feet of French drains and many storm sewer inlets on the lot and connecting them directly to Wheaton’s storm sewer system, my properly sealing the many long and wide cracks in the basement floor, my paying for conversion to an overhead sewer system before the basement was finished in 2005, and my paying for a 20-W whole house natural gas backup electric generator for the home.  Since 1984, because of Wheaton’s failure/refusal to assure that building codes were enforced when the subdivision was constructed and 915 Cove Court was built, I have been forced to spend many thousands of dollars and many hundreds of hours of my labor to stop basement flooding.)

For $23,051/year worth of health, dental, and vision insurance, my wife and I pay only $5,763/year.  In my defense, I have that benefit because I am a retired federal employee.  I worked for the federal government for almost 30 years – almost 18 years for GAO, almost 9 years for IRS, and almost 3 years for the Post Office.)

UNINCORPORATED DUPAGE COUNTY BUSINESSES SEEKING FAIR & EQUAL GAMING LAWS
— DIERSEN HEADLINE: Those who are anti-religious, anti-conservative, and/or anti-Republican promote video gambling in unincorporated DuPage County. Contact your representatives on the DuPage County Board and urge them to oppose this. The Milton Township Republican Central Committee (MTRCC) resolution against video gambling was unanimously adopted in 2009. Other than publicly slandering me during a MTRCC meeting, no effort has been made to repeal the resolution.)
https://www.facebook.com/Dupagecountybusinesses1/
(FROM THE WEBSITE: So we have got the ball rolling… On March 15 2017 Dupage County has had their Annual Liquor Commission Meeting for Unincorporated Liq. License Holders. At this meeting it was discussed by those in attendance the need for Video Gaming to stay competitive with other Businesses. Dan Cronin the Liquor Commissioner explained that we “Collectively” as a group need to contact our District Board Members and express to them how the current ordinance is effecting our ability to stay competitive. After the meeting a group of us stayed to have our own meeting an come up with a game plan. March 28, 2017 the same group attended the Dupage County Board Meeting and a few of us spoke during the Public Comments portion of the Meeting to express our desire to be competitive to other businesses that allow Video Gaming. Well, we have been heard a few Board Members have reached out to Jeremy (Jt’s Porch) and myself and are interested in having a conversation about Video Gaming. Plus at the end of the Board Meeting where the Board Members have open discussion, Video Gaming was discussed between Mr. Zay (Dist. 6), Mr. Puchalski (Dist. 1), Mr. Krajewski (Dist. 3), Mrs. Khouri (Dist. 5), and Mr. Cronin (Chairman). Please take a minute to send off a Email to your District Board Member to let them know you support your local Bars/Restaurants desire to remain competitive. If you need any help contacting your District Board Member I have all Email addresses. If you are a Bar/Restaurant that would like to stay in the loop of upcoming meetings and discussions please send me a message so we can talk. Thanks for Everyone’s Support  Matt)

— Trump’s love of getting even comes to Washington – Dan Merica  (DIERSEN: My critics/opponents have always hinted/implied/argued/shouted that I screwed them.

http://www.cnn.com/2017/03/31/politics/donald-trump-getting-even-washington/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Long before Donald Trump ever became a credible presidential candidate, let alone the commander in chief, the former reality TV star was guided by one animating principle: “If they screw you, screw them back 10 times as hard.” Trump’s desire for revenge played out in public on Thursday when, in an effort to spook conservative members of his own party, the President lumped the Freedom Caucus — a collection of conservative Republican lawmakers — with Democrats and pledged to “fight them” in 2018. Trump and his White House feel betrayed by the conservative Republicans. Many backed Trump early in the 2016 campaign and stood by him during some of the toughest trials of the campaign. But when it came to passing his first conservator legislative goal — health care reform — the conservatives revolted en masse and killed the bill.)
— DIERSEN HEADLINE: Anti-Trumps say “Trump’s outlook going from bad to worse.”  Anti-Trumps want Trump to pander to individuals, to organizations, to companies, to governments, and to countries that are anti-Trump, anti-Protestant, anti-conservative, anti-Republican, anti-American, anti-White, anti-male, anti-older people, anti-rich people, anti-gun owners, anti-German Americans, anti-draft avoiders (except Bill Clinton), and/or anti-those whose ancestors have been in America longer than their ancestors.

ABC7
— THE OFFICER MANAGER WHO WORE A WIRE AGAINST EX-CONGRESSMAN SCHOCK – Chuck Goudie
http://abc7chicago.com/news/the-officer-manager-who-wore-a-wire-against-schock-/1826860/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The I-Team looked into who it was that worked as an FBI informant inside the ranks of former Illinois Congressman Aaron Schock. Aaron Schock’s attorneys say the staffer who was wired for sound was his Peoria district office manager. Although not named in this week’s new Schock court filing, the only district manager during that time period was Bryan Rudolph, a political science and government degree-holder from Wheaton College. Prosecutors are likely to make Rudolph a key component of the government’s corruption case against former Schock, unless Schock’s lawyers can stop it. It was obvious from the time Schock was charged that federal agents had help from inside. His lawyers now claim in a new filing this week that Schock’s Peoria district manager “covertly record private conversations with and between Mr. Schock and his staff;” claiming the manager “stole” thousands of email messages and illegally took congressional office records. The manager then, whom the I-Team identified as 32-year-old Bryan Rudolph, consented to be an informant only after Schock had announced his resignation in March 2015, according to the defense filing. Rudolph, whose resume states that he began working for the federal government’s Social Security Administration in 2007, did not return messages or answer emails on Thursday concerning the undercover work or claims that evidence he gathered had been illegally obtained. Schock’s attorneys rip the government’s use of the staffer-turned-informant; in the court record they say that he broke the law by stealing information from the Illinois Republican’s files. They call it a trail of improper – if not outright illegal – acts. Schock is accused of numerous federal corruption charges including wire and mail fraud, theft of government funds and falsifying federal election filings. Prosecutors say he pocketed thousands in improper vehicle reimbursements, camera equipment and proceeds from selling tickets to the World Series and Super Bowl. Attorneys for Schock plan to ask that the case be thrown out because of how the informant evidence was gathered – or at least that the evidence collected by the office manager be barred from trial.)

 

CBS2
— Democrat Mendoza: Illinois Republican Party ‘Creepily Stalking’ Her – Derrick Blakley
http://chicago.cbslocal.com/2017/03/30/democrat-mendoza-illinois-republican-party-creepily-stalking-her/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: An increasingly bitter political battle between two top Illinois officials has entered a new phase: car wars. As Democrat Susana Mendoza left the state capital Thursday and entered her state-purchased vehicle, she was followed by an Illinois GOP operative who shot video of her. Republicans later tweeted about Mendoza’s “loaded,” luxurious ride. The implication is that state government may be broke, but Mendoza’s living large on the taxpayer’s dime. Mendoza was furious, saying in a counter-tweet that the Illinois Republican Party was “creepily stalking me.” It’s the latest flap between Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner and Mendoza over who’s doing the most to look out for taxpayers. But does the GOP’s charge really hold up? Mendoza’s ride is a 2016 Ford Explorer, purchased used in January, with 16,431 miles. Total cost was $32,279. An invoice provided to CBS 2 shows Gov. Rauner’s main ride is newer, larger and more expensive. It’s a Ford Expedition XLT with extended length. It was purchased new, last December, by state police, at a cost $54,000. That is 67 percent more than Mendoza’s car. A Rauner spokesperson points out state police purchased the new vehicle – not Rauner’s office – even though the governor uses it. State police, of course, report directly to the governor.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Nearly three years after the start of what was then called “The Great War,” the United States entered World War I with a congressional declaration of war against Germany on April 6, 1917. Until then, President Woodrow Wilson had maintained a policy of non-intervention, and a strong antiwar sentiment had swept the U.S. as casualties mounted on the battlefields across Europe and beyond. But the growing threat of a powerful German navy and its fleet of submarines attacking American shipping, plus evidence that Germany was trying to draw Mexico to its side, persuaded Wilson to join forces with Great Britain and France.)

http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/politics/ct-bruce-rauner-republican-fundraiser-met-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The Illinois Republican Party holds its annual “Governor’s Dinner” fundraiser Thursday night to pay tribute to Gov. Bruce Rauner, the state GOP’s leader and biggest donor. Tickets for the event at the Hilton Chicago range from $500 per person all the way up to a special $40,000 “gold” sponsorship. Included is a private reception and photo opportunity with dinner following afterward. All of the top Illinois Republican officials are co-chairing the event, along with the GOP members of Illinois’ congressional delegation and the party’s Senate leader, Christine Radogno of Lemont, and House leader Jim Durkin of Western Springs. Since Rauner took over as governor in January 2015, the state Republican Party has raised nearly $30.9 million. Of that amount, 68 percent, or more than $21.1 million, has come directly from Rauner, his wife or his campaign fund. The group Illinois Working Together, a coalition of unions and other organizations opposed to the governor, are planning a “Rauner Do Your Job” demonstration outside the event.)

And he borrowed from his campaign fund to pay for hotels while in the capital, which is allowed under state law.)

ROCK RIVER TIMES
— Differences apparent in pot legalization debate – Greg Bishop  (DIERSEN: Which individuals, organizations, companies, and governments in Illinois are leading the opposition against SB 316 and HB 2353?  Please ask them to phone me at 630-653-0462.  I am considering asking the DuPage County Board to pass a resolution ASAP against the legalization of marijuana for recreational use similar to the Milton Township Republican Central Committee’s 2009 resolution against video gambling.  For a sample of such a resolution, SEE: http://archive.azcentral.com/ic/pdf/resolution-opposing-legalization-marijuana.pdf  I would ask all of the Republicans who represent all or part of DuPage County to endorse the resolution including U.S. Representatives Hultgren and Roskam; Governor Rauner; Lt. Governor Sanguinetti; Illinois Senators Connelly, Nybo, Oberweis, and Radogno; Illinois Representatives Bellock, Breen, Durkin, Fortner, Ives, Olsen, Wehrli, and Winger; DuPage County officials Anderson, Berlin, Bucholz, Cantore, Cronin, Curran, DiCianni, Eckhoff, Elliott, Fichtner, Grant, Grasso, Grogan, Healy, Henry, Hinds, Jorgensen, Kachiroubas, Khouri, Krajewski, Larsen, Murphy, Noonan, Puchalski, Redick, Ruscitti, Tornatore, Whelan, Wiley, Zaruba, and Zay; Milton Township officials Falbo, Heidorn, Hinkle, Keller, LeVan, Molitor, Muehlfelt, and Nathwani; and all the MTRCC members.)
http://rockrivertimes.com/2017/03/23/differences-apparent-in-pot-legalization-debate/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Anita Bedell, executive director of Illinois Church Action on Alcohol & Addiction Problems, said, “Just because something brings in revenue doesn’t mean it’s a good idea. They’re not considering the harm, they’re not considering costs.” Proponents also say it will spur on jobs. “So has gambling, so has other things …,” Bedell said. “There’s always going to be money in some things, but this is not a good way to have money for Illinois, and it would just cause more harm and cause more damage.” . . . Illinois Family Institute’s David Smith opposes legalization and said there would still be a black market. “The guy on the street that’s selling the pot doesn’t have to have the brick and mortar and the overhead and the employees and the insurance, and the workman’s comp,” Smith said. Smith also dismissed proponents who say illegal marijuana is a criminal justice issue because, he said, there are a very small number of inmates in the system for drug possession only. The Illinois Association of Chiefs of Police said they oppose the bill because of the traffic safety concerns.) . . . Rauner’s office said Thursday the governor is currently reviewing the legalization measure.)

CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— Emails to Emanuel raise questions about dozens of possible lobbying violations – Bill Ruthhart and Hal Dardick  (DIERSEN: Who/what do you lobby for?  I lobby for the Republican Party platform, the Illinois Republican Party platform, and the Milton Township Republican Central Committee resolution against video gambling.  My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes lobby against some, most, or all of the aforesaid.)
http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/politics/ct-rahm-emanuel-emails-lobbyists-registration-met-20170321-story.html
— The Democrats’ immigration problem – Henry Olsen  (DIERSEN: Ever-increasingly, anti-Trumps viciously demonize, viciously denigrate, and viciously condemn Trump supporters as being haters, racists, sexists, bigots, and even worse things, and especially Trump supporters who are Protestant, conservative, Republican, American, White, male, older, rich, gun owners, German American, draft avoiders, and/or those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time.)
http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/opinion/commentary/ct-democrats-immigration-trump-muslim-ban-20170320-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: If Democrats want to win again, they must do one of two things: Attract back the Obama-Trump voter or win over the Romney-non-Trump voter. Their protestations against border security and the travel ban are not likely to do either. Surveys show that Obama-Trump blue-collar voters like Trump’s anti-immigration stance. These voters are likely to have felt competition from immigrants legal and illegal, and they want that competition to stop. Even though many of these voters agree with Democrats on traditional economic issues like taxes and entitlement spending, their primary concern now is to protect their livelihoods and standard of living by reducing competition from foreigners living at home and abroad. . .Democrats are either unwilling to see the truth or unable to acknowledge it: They cannot win back the presidency without attracting people who disagree with some of their views. Doing that does not mean singing the same old songs louder and more clearly.)

http://www.dailyherald.com/article/20170321/news/170329828/

AMERICAN THINKER
— The Left’s Descent into Fascism – Shari Goodman  (DIERSEN: If you are a Trump supporter, where are you no longer welcome?  What year is it in America – 1933, 1934, 1935, 1936?)
http://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2017/03/the_lefts_descent_into_fascism.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Long before the creation of ghettos and concentration camps, the demonization of Jews began in 1933 when Germany elected Adolf Hitler as Chancellor.  Following his election, Hitler created a fascist dictatorship which eventually led to the Holocaust and the extermination of six million Jews whose only crime was their Jewish identity. The dehumanization of Jews was a necessary requirement for Hitler and his fellow Nazis and they did so with a campaign of demonization, ridicule, and blame.  Hitler’s election provided Germans a daily dose of anti-Semitism and gave it legitimacy while providing a rationalization for the extermination of six million Jews. The persecution of European Jewry was gradual.  At first Jews were no longer welcome at schools and universities.  Later, they were no longer able to own their businesses and homes. With time, public transportation was unavailable to them, public restrooms were forbidden, hospitals excluded them and eventually they were no longer able to use public streets or go outdoors.  They were complete outcasts in a land they called home.  By the time the crematoriums were running, Jews were no longer viewed as humans, but as vermin to be stamped out for the good of humanity. Today, the election of Donald Trump to the Presidency has provoked the fascist Left to reject the election results.  Taking a page from Saul Alinsky’s Rules for Radials, in which Alinsky advised his followers in Rule 13 to “pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it,” the Left is now resorting to the fascist tactics of targeting Conservatives much like the Nazis who targeted European Jewry for their economic and social ills.  Conservatives and Trump supporters are reluctant to identify themselves and conceal their support for fear of a backlash from the Leftist elites. From the Berkeley riots to Black Lives Matters marches it is not safe to be a conservative Trump supporter on American streets and college campuses.)

WALL STREET JOURNAL
— Mere Budgetary Christianity  What would Jesus say about big government? – JAMES FREEMAN  (DIERSEN: What do you say to religious leaders who ever increasingly hint/imply/argue/shout that God hates those who are Trump supporters, Protestant, conservative, Republican, American, White, male, older, rich, gun owners, German American, draft avoiders (except Bill Clinton), and/or those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time?  My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes in Wheaton and in Glen Ellyn are extremely judgmental and hint/imply/argue/shout that God loves them but God hates me and God is going to send me straight to Hell mainly because I spend Sunday mornings putting GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails together and sending them out instead of attending church services.)
https://www.wsj.com/articles/mere-budgetary-christianity-1489780327
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Nicholas Kristof of the New York Times is having fun implying that Speaker of the House Paul Ryan’s effort to replace ObamaCare is at odds with Mr. Ryan’s Catholic faith. The column is of a piece with the “Jesus was a socialist” arguments that bounce around the left half of the social media universe. Without wrestling with any difficult questions of faith or logic, Mr. Kristof simply casts the federal bureaucracy in the role of Jesus. Then the Timesman proceeds to suggest through satire that by seeking to reduce outlays and improve incentives in federal programs, Mr. Ryan is defying the will of his God. Of course if federal agencies were ever actually given the statutory mission to do as Jesus would do, Mr. Kristof would be as horrified as anyone. But this seems to be a political season when people who spend much of the year driving religion out of public life abruptly drag it back in as they attempt to justify big government. It’s not necessarily persuasive. The ancient book has numerous admonitions to perform charity and various condemnations of greed, but it’s not easy to find a passage in which Jesus says that government is the best vehicle to provide aid, or that anyone should force others to donate. Even casual readers of the Bible may notice that Jesus doesn’t get along all that well with the political authorities of his time and (spoiler alert!) his relationship with government ends rather badly. Back then, tax collectors were not presumed to be the dedicated public servants that we appreciate so much today. And in our own time, social conservatives who think the U.S. Government has become hostile to religion—Christianity in particular—should consider what Jesus had to put up with.)
— Thomas Sowell discusses his own rise from poverty and the country’s ‘degeneration’ into ‘grievance culture.’ – TUNKU VARADARAJAN  (DIERSEN: When my subordinates in the federal government who were Democrat, minority, female, and/or younger grieved that they were not getting promoted fast enough, my Democrat superiors and supervisors hinted/implied/argued/shouted that they were doing everything that they could to get rid of their employees who were Republican, White, male, older, and/or non-veteran.  During almost all of the almost 18 years that I worked for GAO 1980-1997, the agency was under a promotion freeze.)

http://chicago.suntimes.com/news/pfleger-uses-911-reference-to-appeal-for-jobs-for-at-risk-youth/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Father Michael Pfleger on Tuesday used a provocative reference to the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks to exhort Chicago businesses to open their doors to 58,000 disconnected young people who are neither working nor in school. “Nineteen people on 9/11 terrorized this nation. Nineteen people shut this nation down. Imagine what we in this room could do if we were as committed as they were,” Pfleger told an audience of movers-and-shakers including Mayor Rahm Emanuel during the Opportunity Youth Summit at the Chicago Cultural Center hosted by Thrive Chicago. “We have learned how to save the whales. We’ve learned how to save the dolphins. We’ve learned how to save the exotic birds. Well damn it, it’s time to learn how to save our children.”)

BLAZE
— Ex-NC governor says ‘bathroom law’ backlash has made it hard to find a job – Tré Goins-Phillips  (DIERSEN: Virtually all employers act as if they arms of the Democrat Party.  Therefore, they only want to hire those who are Democrat, minority, female, younger, and/or veteran.  They do not want to hire those who are Protestant, conservative, Republican, American, White, male, older, rich, gun owners, German American, draft avoider (except Bill Clinton), and/or those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time. They certainly do not want to hire me because of the aforesaid and because I oppose race based preference giving, gender based preference giving, age discrimination, and retaliation for complaining about the aforesaid.)
http://www.theblaze.com/news/2017/03/14/youre-a-bigot-ex-nc-governor-says-bathroom-law-backlash-has-made-it-hard-to-find-a-job/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Former North Carolina Gov. Pat McCrory, a Republican, says the backlash over his state’s so-called “bathroom law” has made it tough for him to find work since he left public office. The controversial “bathroom law,” or House Bill 2, requires individuals to use the restroom that correlates with their biological sex as it is written on their birth certificate. Following the law’s passage, McCrory, who supported the bill, was attacked as anti-LGBT and several performers and sports teams cancelled their events in the state. In an interview  last week with WORLD, McCrory said HB2 “has impacted me to this day, even after I left office. People are reluctant to hire me, because, ‘Oh my gosh, he’s a bigot’ — which is the last thing I am.” He told the Christian outlet that liberal groups opposing HB2 have damaged his reputation. “If you disagree with the politically correct thought police on this new definition of gender, you’re a bigot, you’re the worst of evil,” McCrory said. “It’s almost as if I broke a law.”)
