How many crossover voters, that is, voters who cast Republican primary ballots, but vote for Democrats in general elections, that is, voters who are Democrat plants, Libertarian plants, Green plats, or RINOs, are there in your precinct, in your municipality, in your township/ward, in your county, in Illinois, and in America? I believe there are about 30 in my DuPage County Milton Township Precinct 9 in Wheaton and they are well-organized. Of course, they do not display yard signs for Republican candidates in general elections. Far too many of them treat me very rudely.)

FORTUNE
— Trump Attacks LeBron James in Tweet Ahead of Crucial Ohio Election – DAVID Z. MORRIS (DIERSEN: Are you a “private citizen?” According to my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes, a) I am NOT a “private citizen” and b) I am a “public figure.” They stress that I have been a Republican Precinct Committeeman since 1999 and the GOPUSA Illinois Editor since 2000. They stress that I was a TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois chairman 2005-2012, Wheaton Chamber of Commerce Government Affairs Committee member 2003-2011, Milton Township Republican Central Committee webmaster 2008-2010 and 2000-2004, Illinois Center Right Coalition Steering Committee member 2003-2007, American Association of Political Consultants Midwest Chapter board member 2001-2004, GAO employee 1980-1997, IRS employee 1971-1980, etc. They hint/imply/argue/shout that because I am a “public figure,” they can defame, libel, and slander me because I “cannot succeed in a lawsuit on incorrect harmful statements in the United States unless there is proof that the writer or publisher acted with actual malice by knowing the falsity or by reckless disregard for the truth. The legal burden of proof in defamation actions is thus higher in the case of a public figure than in the case of an ordinary person.” SEE: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_figure Do you agree with my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes that I am a “public figure?”)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Responses to the President’s comments have been harsh and swift, crossing party lines. Joe Walsh, a talk show host and former Republican Congressman, said Trump’s comment revealed “what a small man he is.” Joe Walsh: “It’s got nothing to do with what you think about Lebron James. The President of the United States had nothing better to do late on a Friday night than grab his phone and call a private citizen “dumb” in a tweet. The leader of the free world did that. What a small man he is.)

http://www.chicagotribune.com/classified/realestate/elitestreet/ct-re-elite-street-dwayne-wade-matteson-20180724-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A four-bedroom, 2,280-square-foot house in south suburban Matteson that is owned by basketball star Dwyane Wade has been on the market since May for $269,900. A South Side native who starred at Richards High School in Oak Lawn before attending Marquette University, Wade, 36, has played in the NBA for 16 years, most of the time for the Miami Heat. He played a year for the Bulls in 2016-2017. Public records show that Wade bought the house new in 2006 with his then-wife, Siohvaughn Funches, for $390,000. After the couple’s divorce, Wade was awarded the house in 2014. Now, Wade is trying to sell the house, which is in Matteson’s Newbury Estates neighborhood. The house has three baths, a large foyer with a vaulted ceiling, hardwood floors throughout, a family room with a gas fireplace and a wet bar, and a master suite with a private balcony, a large walk-in closet and a tray ceiling overlooking the family room. Wade first listed the house in May for $290,000 and last month cut his asking price to $269,900.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Sauer’s immediate successor in the legislature will be selected by a group formed by Lake County Republican Party leader Mark Shaw and Barrington Township Republican committeeman Chris Geissler, representing the small Cook County portion of the 51st District. Shaw doesn’t know if the GOP will nominate the same person to run in November, which is a separate process. Shaw plans to consult Republican House Leader Jim Durkin on the decisions. Republican officials typically would seek applicants, Shaw said. But time is short because ballots must be finalized and certified by Aug. 30.)

WASHINGTON POST
— MARCH 4, 2018 FLASHBACK: An Illinois gun show bans AR-15 sales, landing it at the center of a national gun-control debate – Mark Guarino
https://www.washingtonpost.com/national/an-illinois-gun-show-bans-ar-15-sales-landing-it-at-the-center-of-a-national-gun-control-debate/2018/03/04/12502e6a-1fec-11e8-94da-ebf9d112159c_story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: WHEATON, Ill. — The last place one might expect to hear pushback against the National Rifle Association would be at a gun show here, a western suburb of Chicago that reliably votes Republican every election cycle and is the proud home of the Billy Graham Center Museum. . .Organizers halted an advertised raffle that would have awarded an AR-15 to the winner, and vendors were told they would not be allowed to sell the weapon at the monthly show. Frank Cesare – of the Pioneer Valley Sportsman’s Association, which has hosted the show for more than 40 years – said the decision followed complaints the group received after the Parkland shooting and as gun-control advocates planned to protest. “We did the ban to try to calm the situation down and show them we are willing to work with them,” he said, referring to the protesters. Cesare said that the ban on AR-15s also would remain in place for April’s show and that the club is “waiting to see” what the mood is like before deciding on shows later in the year. But the move has forced the club into the gun culture war that has gained new energy across the United States since Parkland. “We didn’t see this coming,” Cesare said. “I’m bewildered we’re in the middle of this. . .I got no problem with the protesters. They’re very frustrated with what’s going on; it’s awful; they’re doing what they think is right. I’m frustrated, too.” Inside the fairgrounds building, vendors and buyers examined used items that have nothing to do with guns, such as fishing lures, archery bows, knives and birdhouses. Four homemade duck decoys and a 1930s rifle were displayed across the table belonging to Jack Jackson, 71. He said Illinois already has some of the strictest gun laws in the United States – buyers must show a firearm owner’s identification card or similar permit – but he noted that responsible gun owners are caught in the middle whenever a mass shooting takes place.)

http://www.foxnews.com/tech/2018/07/25/twitter-slammed-for-shadow-banning-prominent-republicans.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Twitter is taking heat for “shadow banning” certain prominent Republicans, restricting their visibility in search results. The social media giant came under fire after Republican Party chairwoman Ronna McDaniel, several conservative Republican congressmen, including Rep. Devin Nunes and Andrew Surabian, the spokesman for Donald Trump Jr., failed to appear in Twitter’s auto-populated drop-down search results. The news was first reported by Vice News. “The notion that social media companies would suppress certain political points of view should concern every American. Twitter owes the public answers to what’s really going on,” tweeted McDaniel.)

UNION BULLETIN
— Political web-sites must be clearly marked Unfortunately, a troubling trend has surfaced in which political websites are designed to look like news sites to fool voters. – Editorial (DIERSEN: Ever-increasingly, mainstream news sources promotes the Democrat Party platform, Libertarian Party platform, Green Party platform, and foreign countries. Of course, they falsely deny it. GOPUSA ILLINOIS promotes the Republican Party platform and America.)
http://www.union-bulletin.com/opinion/editorials/political-web-sites-must-be-clearly-marked/article_bce204a4-8c41-11e8-9003-1352a6c3665d.html

(FROM THE EDITORIAL: When it comes to internet shenanigans at election time, the Russians don’t have the market cornered. A few members of the U.S. Congress — Democrats and Republicans — have set up “fake news” websites designed to sway voters in their direction so they can win re-election. Not cool. Tim Johnson of the McClatchy News Service reported that three sitting senators who are in the midst of tough re-election campaigns and one House member have created sites that look like internet news pages, but their aim is to put positive spin on the candidates. For example, Nevada Republican Sen. Deal Heller’s website, NevadaSenateUpdates.com, even has weather and calendar widgets on the top of its page, just like those of a conventional newspaper website. The “paid for by Heller for Senate” is in dim gray type on a black bar at the bottom, Johnson reported. On the other side of the aisle is a the faux internet news site put up by the Missouri Democratic Party — The Missouri Download — to promote the re-election chances of Sen. Claire McCaskill. Johnson reports that its declaimer is almost impossible to read. According to election watchdog groups, these are not isolated incidents, but a troubling trend. “These websites are designed with one thing in mind: to trick the reader into thinking they’re a legitimate news source. And anyone who says otherwise is being disingenuous. A label tucked at the bottom of a web page isn’t enough,” said Aaron Sharockman, executive director of PolitiFact, a fact-checking website. Brendan Fischer, of the Campaign Legal Center, a nonpartisan group on campaign finance and democracy issues, agreed. “You’d have to scroll all the way to the bottom and read the fine print to learn that these sites are actually generated by partisan political actors who are trying to win an election,” Fischer said, adding that structure of the websites indicates that “there is a degree of trust in the news media, and that’s why these candidates and parties are trying to emulate traditional news media sites.” While these campaign websites aren’t illegal, as the source and campaign information are included (albeit it in teeny-tiny print), there are certainly deceitful. All voters — Democrats, Republicans and independents — should be irked. Voters deserve better. Those in office, or seeking office, should want to get information out to the public that is positive to their campaigns and that costs doubts on their opponents. But this must be done in the open. When creating websites for these political purposes, make it crystal clear — in bright, big and bold letters — who is responsible for the content. Then the voters can judge for themselves the credibility. If the public doesn’t push back now on this dubious tactic, the proliferation will continue. It must stop.)

https://www.wsj.com/articles/saudi-women-dont-just-want-to-drive-they-want-400-horsepower-1531923787
(FROM THE ARTICLE: When officials at Ford Motor Co. heard that Ms. Nasief, who is known for having participated in the campaign for women’s right to drive, wanted a Mustang, the manufacturer offered to give her one. She asked for the powerful performance car in yellow and black, the colors of her local soccer team, Al-Ittihad, of which she is a die-hard fan. Since it was delivered July 9, she has been driving the Mustang almost nonstop. She zooms down Jeddah’s palm-lined avenues. often with the top down despite sweltering heat, giving rides to various groups of her 16 grandchildren. “I love this car because of its roar,” said Ms. Nasief. “Everybody is staring at me because I’m a woman in a sports car. But why not? We are even better drivers than the men, to be honest.” Ms. Nasief keeps one hand on the steering wheel and the other on the horn, blasting male drivers who fail to use turn signals or who talk on a cellphone while behind the wheel, both common sins on Saudi roads. “If I see them behave badly, I go ‘beep beep!’” she said. “We’ll teach them how to drive.”)

WORLD NET DAILY
— HAPPY WHITE HISTORY MONTH! GET OVER YOUR FEAR! Rev. Jesse Lee Peterson applauds people who ‘founded this country and made it great’ (DIERSEN: My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes disagree with Rev. Jesse Lee Peterson.)
http://www.wnd.com/2018/07/happy-white-history-month-get-over-your-fear/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: For the last 60 years or more, white people have been under attack, falsely called “racist,” and blamed for the failure and problems of black Americans and other so-called “people of color.” Illegal aliens, refugees and immigrants from “s—hole countries” have been allowed to come here, and instead of showing appreciation for the freedom and beauty for their new home, they bring their godless cultures. They vote for socialism and are emboldened in hate, blame and victimhood by our corrupt leftist government, school system and media. Each year reveals new levels of insanity celebrating radical Black History Month, transgender and homosexual history, feminist women – celebration of everyone except for straight, white, conservative Christian men of power. White people have been under attack, unappreciated and under a spell of fear for so long that most of the country can’t even remember that it was whites who made this country the destination that it is! The simple fact remains: Without white people, there would be no America. White men founded this country and made it great. White men like President Trump are the last ones holding America together – and it is hanging by a thread. So out of appreciation, I deemed July as White History Month. For some reason, whites allowed others to come in to this country who would turn around and betray them! Reportedly, whites will soon be a minority in their own country! If we allow the vilification and replacement of whites to continue, then our country will become a ghetto. We will see more black-on-white crime, more laws against Christians and men, a total loss of freedom, and destruction of communities. Mark my words, if we don’t stop this attack upon white people, we will become like South Africa where black communists seek to take white farmers’ private land without compensation. Blacks hunt down, torture and kill white farmers, including women and children – and murder one another in the townships. Riots and destruction of property are the norm. Families are destroyed, the economy is hurting, disease is rampant, and there’s a lack of morality or responsibility among the people. We caught a glimpse of this in America under President Obama, the worst and most hated president the country ever experienced. He brought the radical hate group Black Lives Matter and other evil people to the White House regularly. He sowed division, hatred and suspicion toward whites, police, Christians, business owners and men. Race riots, targeted cop killings, and black-on-black murder all increased because he validated criminals and thugs while demonizing and marginalizing the good people. Thankfully, white men and women, and a growing number of “people of color,” woke up and supported the Great White Hope, President Trump. He’s working overtime to Make America Great Again. He’s sending the illegals back, not falling for the media propaganda about the “children” whom criminal adults intentionally brought here. He’s building a big beautiful wall on the border. He gives no play to Black Lives Matter and antifa (Occupy Wall Street communists). Trump is a man of courage and action, with love for the country and no fear. He’s from the old school! Men of other races have been destroyed. Now evil seeks to destroy white men. Although most are still conservative, they’ve grown very weak, afraid to stand up for themselves and what’s right. Their parents let them down. They should watch and learn from the president. On my daily call-in show on Newsmax TV and YouTube, I greet people, “Happy White History Month!” I offer the same wishes while going about my day at the gym, the bank, post office and gas station – “Happy White History Month!” Some are grateful. Most react with laughter, confusion or anger. Many believed that “white history” was observed “every day,” but it’s not – whites are only cast negatively by the children of the lie. Some friends and callers express concern for my safety, fearing a violent backlash against White History Month. We should be wary of violent leftists and white haters, given the incitement by anti-Trump agitators like Maxine Waters (the Wicked Witch of the West), corrupt government officials, media and Hollywood. There are places where it’s not safe to be an open Trump supporter. But the children of the lie proudly tout their beliefs with no sense of shame for being wrong – they’re in your face promoting evil! If you are a child of God, you have no fear. Perfect love, the nature of God, drives out fear. But if you have fear, you are still of your father the devil. In counseling and talking with people, I notice most men and women have fear. Men are afraid to deal with their wives. Grown men and women are afraid to face their mothers and be honest with them! Where does fear come from? Anger and unforgiveness. Unless you forgive, you will not be forgiven. And you will have all of the children of anger: fear, doubt, insecurity and suicidal thoughts. So forgive and be free! Watch video from The Jesse Lee Peterson Show: “Fear Is the Worst Thing You Can Have. (Happy White History Month!)”)
