NATIONAL REVIEW
— The Privilege That Wasn’t – ERICKA ANDERSEN  (DIERSEN: Are you White?  My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes, virtually all of whom are White, have always attributed the successes that I have had in life to my being White, that is, to White privilege.  They shout that I have never been adversely impacted by political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, or age discrimination.)
http://www.nationalreview.com/article/442208/white-privilege-donald-trump-voters-election-lessons-race
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The experience of many white people across the country is the opposite of privilege. Many of those in the public eye have assigned “privilege” to all white people. Recently, I’ve seen several people share a quote on social media that reads, “When you’re accustomed to privilege, equality feels like oppression.” The assertion is that Trump voters don’t recognize their privilege over marginalized groups seeking equality. But quite a few people are missing a big part of the picture. For a good many white people in the U.S., “privilege” is not a word they relate to. And equality — as far as attention to the problems they are facing — is something they too want our leaders to give them. And it’s hard for members of the media, the cultural elite, and many minority groups to grasp that. The intent in focusing on white privilege (which I do believe is real for many) is not wrong — but it’s sometimes misguided. To understand where that focus has gone wrong is not to downplay the very real problems that do face minority groups in this country. But let’s talk about another side of the coin when it comes to white privilege. Part of what drove the Trump takeover of 2016 was the fact that liberal culture is obsessed with identity politics based on race and sex, having all but forgotten anyone who isn’t a racial, ethnic, or sexual minority — and the bread-and-butter issues that exist outside of those categories.  Classism is a very real thing too — and this year, the white working class of America stood up and said very loudly: You’ve forgotten about us.)

BREITBART
— Google, Facebook to Defund Conservative Sites as ‘Fake News’ – Chriss W. Street  (DIERSEN: Of course, obviously, needless-to-say, and without question, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have always hinted/implied/argued/shouted that GOPUSA Illinois emails and www.gopillinois.com are full of “fake news.”)
http://www.breitbart.com/california/2016/11/16/google-facebook-to-defund-conservative-sites-as-fake-news/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Google and Facebook took steps on November 14 to ban “fake news” content publishers from generating a cut of advertising revenues through Google AdSense and Facebook Audience Network, a move that “disproportionately impacted right-wing news sites.” Breitbart News reported shortly after the November 8 election that the left blamed Donald Trump’s victory on Facebook’s unwillingness to stop the proliferation of “fake news” that spread “blatantly inaccurate information” about Hillary Clinton regarding Benghazi, emails and the probability of her being indicted by the FBI. A chorus of established mainstream media outlets has been demanding Facebook and Google change their algorithms so that populist candidates, like Donald Trump, cannot have a “cheap megaphone” to use “fake news” convert new people into followers. BuzzFeed claimed its investigation of fake news found 38 percent of posts shared from three large right-wing politics pages on Facebook included “false or misleading information,” while three large left-wing pages did so less than 20 percent of the time. Buzzfeed added that it found 140 fake news sites from Macedonia that supported Trump. According to a new report from Gizmodo, Facebook took “steps to suppress fake news earlier this year,” despite knowing it would have “disproportionately impacted right-wing news sites by downgrading or removing that content from people’s feeds.” But Facebook backed-off the move after Breitbart News reported in May that former Facebook contractors said they had “routinely suppressed conservative-oriented news articles from the trending news section.” The contractors specifically highlighted preventing “organically trending” posts on Facebook’s highly-influential News Feed section from conservatives reporting about Mitt Romney, Rand Paul, and the huge 2016 Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC), which attracted 30,000 attendees. Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg first denied any knowledge of “bias” against conservatives. But he was forced to admit some former Facebook employees that curated content might “unintentionally” have been biased against conservatives, after the revelations sparked a Senate Commerce Committee probe of News Feed. To counter progressive workforce “biases,” Facebook took the extraordinary step of firing all News Feed curators and agreeing to stop allowing the liberal New York Times, CNN, NBC News, Washington Post and BuzzFeed to dominate News Feed postings. Google and Facebook have had strict policies, using a combination of algorithms and human moderation, to decide whether a site is eligible to use its advertising service. But that tactic has mostly been used to deny pornographic websites from collecting click advertising dollars. But with the visibility of the election over, Google has stated that it has updated its AdSense “policy” to ban sites that “misrepresent, misstate, or conceal information.” Websites that do not comply with this rule will be banned from using Google AdSense. Facebook acknowledged that it has also updated policies to prevent fake news sites from using the company’s Audience Network ad inventories.)

http://thefederalistpapers.org/us/the-difference-between-growing-up-in-the-1960s-compared-to-2016
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Seth Connell reports that in August of this year, campus carry went into effect on Texas’ public college campuses, enabling students and staff with valid concealed handgun licenses to legally carry their firearms. Predictably, leftists freaked out at the idea of people legally carrying firearms in their “safe spaces.”  As we reported back in August, the most famous form of protest on Texas college campuses was “Cocks Not Glocks,” a movement where students who opposed campus carry took adult sex toys with them all across the campus. Despite these protestations, campus carry is in effect in Texas, and there is not mass murder happening in dorms, classrooms, or professors’ offices. Who’d have thunk, right?  Well, it turns out that “Cocks no Glocks” is not going away any time soon. In fact, they have been invited to The White House as a kind of reward for their childish, bratty temper tantrums.)

DAILY HERALD
— Bolingbrook mayor Roger Claar hosted Trump, will go to inauguration – Kerry Lester
http://www.dailyherald.com/article/20161114/news/161119481/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Bolingbrook Mayor Roger Claar got a lot of blowback from local residents when he announced he’d be hosting Donald Trump in town for a September fundraiser. Now he’s making plans to attend the Republican business tycoon’s presidential inauguration. Claar says he jumped on the Trump bandwagon early because he was “tired of Republican leadership in Washington. Democrats weren’t getting anything done, either.” While he knew Illinois — which Tuesday was a blue island among a sea of red states — would go Democrat Hillary Clinton’s way, Claar says money talks, and hosting fundraisers was a way to get some attention. “He wasn’t coming here to build an organization,” Claar says of Trump. “There weren’t a lot of people who stepped up for Trump in Illinois or in the Illinois Republican Party. I was embarrassed about that.” Claar said in recent months he’s had two one-on-one conversations with Trump, including one, in June, where Trump asked for an opinion on who he should select as vice president. “I don’t think he picked him because I suggested it, but I said (Indiana governor) Mike Pence would be outstanding.” As far as keeping in contact? “It’s kind of a one-way street, and that’s his way, not mine,” Claar says. “But if he were to come back to Illinois, I’d want to be part of that, sure.”)

— A Trump-Clinton donor divide: Home values – DENNIS RODKIN  (FROM THE ARTICLE: Among Clinton donors here, the median home value is just under $547,000, about 29 percent higher than the $425,000 median value of Trump donors’ homes.  Are Cinton donors limousine liberals?  SEE: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limousine_liberal)
http://www.chicagobusiness.com/realestate/20161108/CRED0701/161109860/a-trump-clinton-donor-divide-home-values
(FROM THE ARTICLE: If there are Clinton victory parties tonight in Chicago, they’re likely to be in nicer homes than celebrations for a Trump win. The median home value for a Chicago-area donor to Democrat Hillary Clinton’s campaign is almost one-third higher than the median for donors to Republican Donald Trump, according to research from the University of Chicago. Among Clinton donors here, the median home value is just under $547,000, about 29 percent higher than the $425,000 median value of Trump donors’ homes, according to Tania Diaz Bazan, a researcher and writer at the Stigler Center of the University of Chicago Booth School of Business. Diaz Bazan compiled the Chicago figures exclusively yesterday for Crain’s on the eve of today’s election. “Wealthier donors prefer Hillary Clinton,” Diaz Bazan said. Home value, she noted, “is a proxy for wealth,” though of course a home may not be the only asset a donor may have. “What we see at least is that Clinton donors prefer living in expensive houses more than Trump donors,” she said. In a state that leans heavily toward Clinton, Diaz Bazan had far more data on donors to the Democratic candidate. Her database included 10,304 Chicago-area Clinton donors and just 1,500 for Trump. But she said the Trump data was enough to be reliable and that the results “follow the same pattern as the national data.”)
— Like the Cubs, Chicago can come back from behind – KAM BUCKNER  (DIERSEN: Are you behind?  According to my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes, I have been behind since 1973 when I did not make GS-13 (currently $92,632) by age 25 and I fell further behind when I did not make GS-14 (currently $109,463) by age 30, GS-15 (currently $128,759) by age 35, and Senior Executive Service (currently $160,300) by age 40.  How much were you earning in today’s dollars when you were 25, 30, 35, and 40?)

NEW YORK POST
— If you resent getting paid to nap, find another job – Editorial  (DIERSEN: The New York Post sides with the New York Department of Education against David Suker.  My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes in Wheaton, in Glen Ellyn, in Milton Township, in DuPage County, and Illinois side with my Democrat superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates in the federal government against me.)
http://nypost.com/2016/11/07/if-you-resent-getting-paid-to-nap-find-another-job/
(FROM THE EDITORIAL: It’s hard not to feel a little sympathy for David Suker: He’s severely unhappy sitting around and even napping in libraries and lounges to “earn” his $94,000 salary. On the other hand, he’s free to find a real job — and the city Department of Education has every right to keep him out of the classroom. As Susan Edelman reported in Sunday’s Post, Suker is trying for a third answer — by suing to return to teaching. DOE actually tried to fire him, but the courts — and the United Federation of Teachers contract — prevented his termination. (He did have to pay a $7,000 fine.) Yet DOE was still unwilling to put him back in the classroom — whether because of his newsmaking confrontations with police as an Occupy Wall Street protester, or other information not made public. So it stuck him in the Absent Teacher Reserve, along with more than 1,300 other DOE staffers, at least 200 of them teachers — earning full pay and benefits but ineligible for overtime. A few ATR-dwellers actually make it back to real work — for example, teachers who take longer than usual to find placement at new schools after their old ones close. Yet most are simply warehoused because they can’t be fired, and no one’s willing to risk putting them in contact with kids. The system set up under the UFT contract makes it near-impossible to fire even serial gropers and other pervs. The real outrage is that they all remain on salary, courtesy of the taxpayers.)

WASHINGTON POST
— GOP congressman threatens hearing to ‘explore network media bias’ – Callum Borchers  (DIERSEN: As everyone knows, virtually everyone in the paid media is an operative or a dupe for the Democrat Party.)
https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-fix/wp/2016/11/04/gop-congressman-threatens-hearing-on-medias-surreptitious-propaganda/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Rep. Kevin Cramer (R-N.D.) said in a letter to television executives on Friday that “national network news has devolved from fact-based journalism to surreptitious propaganda,” and he raised the specter of a congressional hearing to “explore network media bias in coverage of the 2016 presidential campaign.”  Cramer’s timing is a bit odd. The election is Tuesday, meaning that any such hearing would come too late to affect coverage of the race (although, of course, the prospect of such a hearing is being raised in the campaign homestretch). It is possible that Cramer, a strong supporter of Donald Trump, is merely throwing a symbolic grenade at a press corps that the Republican nominee derides on a daily basis. Cramer does not have a hearing on the books; his letter indicated that he has not even requested one. He simply said that he plans to ask for a hearing.)

ATLANTIC SENTINEL
— Prevalence, Impact and Assimilation of German Americans  German Americans have been something of a silent majority, despite their significant contributions to the culture. – Nick Ottens (DIERSEN: What is your national origin?  During the 1840s and 1850s, all my ancestors immigrated to northeast Illinois from what is now Germany.  Of course, obviously, needless-to-say, and without question, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have always used that against me. In my defense, I stress that my grandfather on my father’s side fought the Germans during WWI, that my uncles on my mother’s side fought the Germans during WWII, and that my father would have fought the Germans during WWII if he had not been 4-F.  Further, according to http://dna.ancestry.com, my ancestry is 33% Europe West, 28% Scandinavia, 24% Great Britain, 11% Ireland, 2% Europe East, 1% Finland/Northwest Russia, and 1% Italy/Greece.)
http://atlanticsentinel.com/2016/11/prevalence-impact-and-assimilation-of-german-americans/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: German Americans are the largest ancestry group in the United States. Some 46 million Americans, comprising 14 percent of the population, claim German roots. Germans have been part of American history almost from the start. The first German immigrants settled in rural Pennsylvania and upstate New York. Many were Protestants who had made the journey to the New World from predominantly Catholic parts of Central Europe. A second, larger immigration wave would come in the nineteenth century, when around seven million Germans arrived, doubling the population of the United States at the time. Many of them established farms in the Midwest, leading to a heavy concentration of German Americans in states like Michigan, Minnesota, Wisconsin and the Dakotas. Impact  German Protestants and Jews tended to vote Republican; most Catholics were Democrats. What united them was opposition to slavery and Prohibition and in general a mistrust of Southern populists and New England puritans alike. Germans played an important role in the early American labor and socialist movements, which were strongest in those Midwestern states that had large German minorities. Milwaukee, for example, was the only major city in America with socialist mayors for a long time. German contributions to American culture include beer, hot dogs, Christmas trees and kindergarten (literally, “garden for children”). Companies such as Boeing, Goldman Sachs, Heinz, Kraft Foods, Lehman Brothers and Levi’s were all started by Germans. Prejudice  There had been little prejudice against German until the United States entered World War I on the Allied side in 1917. Former president Theodore Roosevelt denounced “hyphenated Americanism”. Anti-German bigotry became widespread. A German minister was tarred and feathered in Minnesota after he was overheard praying in his native language with a dying woman. A man suspected of spying for the Germans was lynched in Collinsville, Illinois. The Justice Department was no help. It drew up a list of all German aliens in the country, counting some 480,000. More than 4,000 of them were incarcerated until the hostilities in Europe ended a year later. Ordinary Germans responded by speaking English in public and anglicizing their names: Koenig became King, Müller became Miller, Schmidt became Smith. The German American experience during the Second World War was mixed. Nearly 11,000 German citizens were interned and some 300,000 German-born residents were restricted in their travel and property rights. But President Franklin D. Roosevelt — Theodore’s nephew — also sought out German Americans for top war posts, including General Dwight D. Eisenhower, who spearheaded the Allied war effort in Europe, and Admiral Chester Nimitz, who was the American naval commander in the Pacific. German speakers were recruited as translators and spies. Very few sympathized with the Nazis. Assimilation  Despite their numerical preponderance, German Americans have been something of a silent majority throughout American history. Partly that’s because they themselves deemphasized their Germanness in the first half of the twentieth century. Barely any German speakers remain. Many first-generation German immigrants were also poor, uneducated farmers, who spread out across the Midwest, unlike, say, more middle-class Irishmen and Italians, many of whom settled in the big cities of the Northeast where they could more easily become a political force. Whether it is in spite or because of this process of assimilation, German Americans now do better than most ethnicities on many metrics. They are more likely to have college degrees and less likely to be unemployed. Their median household income is 18 percent above the national norm. Well-known German Americans include former House speaker John Boehner, former secretary of state Henry Kissinger, the architect Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, the oil magnate John D. Rockefeller and the actress Meryl Streep — as well as the current Republican presidential candidate, Donald Trump.)

According to this article, Fox News as willing to meet Kelly’s asking price of a $20 million annual salary.  I should ask my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes how much money are they are paid a year and who pays them.)
http://www.gopusa.com/?p=16699
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The much expected bidding war for the services of Fox News anchor Megyn Kelly has apparently fizzled, due in part to Rupert Murdoch’s indication last week that he wants to re-sign the star anchor and was willing to meet her asking price of a $20 million annual salary. According to Vanity Fair, CNN, ABC and CBS are passing on the opportunity to hire Kelly: “One CNN insider explained, ‘of course we would love to have her,’ before noting that poaching Kelly, given the likely cost of her contract, ‘is not something we are seriously considering.’ Instead, this person elaborated, CNN is investing more in documentary-style programming after the election. ‘I don’t believe anyone is pursuing her other than Fox at this point,’ said one ABC insider. A source close to CBS said that they are not making an offer, either. (The person close to Kelly noted that discussions with rival executives were ongoing.)” If that’s true, that really only leaves NBC and MSNBC as potential suitors. But in this era of tight budgets it’s unlikely they would be willing to cough up the kind of money that Kelly wants. Kelly has been under fire from conservatives ever since her tough questioning of Donald Trump at the first GOP presidential primary debate last year. Her ongoing squabbles with the nominee have sent viewers elsewhere, leading to some slippage in her ratings.)
