CHICAGO SUN-TIMES
— ALL OF THE FRONT PAGE: DIERSEN HEADLINE: Those who run the Chicago Sun-Times say “Our independent, award-winning journalism lives on.”  However, ever-increasingly, the Chicago Sun-Times acts like it is an arm of the Democrat Party. How independent are your news sources?  You should know where their money comes from and how much.  He who pays the piper calls the tunes. All news sources should be required to disclose the source and amount of all of their income.  They should also disclose the real source and amount of all income laundered through third, fourth, fifth, etc. parties.  All my money comes from the Civil Service Retirement System ($50,856/year) and Social Security ($2,028/year).  My critics/opponent are beyond furious that they cannot take that income away from me. Ever-increasingly, they make it clear that they will use their tremendous religious, government, political, and/or financial clout in Wheaton, in Glen Ellyn, in Milton Township, in DuPage County, and in Illinois to viciously destroy me and any individual, any organization, any company, or any government that might come to my defense.)

— FRONT PAGE TOP OF FOLD: Bloomingdale Township moving to form mental health board – Robert Sanchez (DIERSEN: Of course, this will encourage those who have “mental illness, addiction, and developmental disabilities” to move to Bloomingdale Township.)
http://www.dailyherald.com/article/20170515/news/170519177/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Voters approved a ballot question that makes the township establish a board devoted to improving the availability and quality of services for township residents with mental illness, addiction, and developmental disabilities. Ed Levato was township supervisor when the referendum was placed on the ballot after a successful petition drive organized by a group of residents. He said Monday that township staff members were simply misinformed when they told a Daily Herald reporter before the election that the ballot question was advisory. “They were not given any information about it,” he said. “It wasn’t our referendum. It was a citizens’ initiative.” Levato apologized for the miscommunication. He said he personally didn’t support the measure. “It’s a huge tax increase,” Levato said. According to preliminary estimates, owners of homes valued at $240,000 would pay about $56 a year in property taxes to support the mental health board. The tax is expected to be collected for the first time next year. However, Michael Murray, chairman of the committee that backed the referendum, said their campaign made it clear to residents that some type of tax increase would be necessary to fund the mental health board. The panel will use the money to award grants to agencies that provide detection, early diagnosis, education, assistance and treatment programs.)

BLOOMINGTON PANTAGRAPH

— GOP rips Pritzker for getting $230K property tax reduction – AP  (DIERSEN: Those individuals, organizations, companies, and governments that promote Pat Brady have always worked against individuals like me, against organizations like TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois, against companies, and against governments that support the Republican Party platform, the Illinois Republican Party platform, and/or the Milton Township Republican Central Committee resolution against video gambling.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: The Illinois Republican Party held a news conference Monday in front of the home, where former party Chairman Pat Brady accused Pritzker of engaging in a “con job” that took much-needed money from Chicago Public Schools and social services. He noted the home is located in one of the wealthiest neighborhoods in the U.S., and said Pritzker has more than enough money to pay the full amount.)
— Communities scramble to deal with harm from opioids – Edith Brady-Lunny  (DIERSEN: What about dealing with harm from booze, from pot, from gambling, and from other destructive vices?  Many, if not most, if not virtually all of my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes talk and act a) like they want to drink lots of booze, smoke lots of pot, and/or gamble lots of money, b) like they do drink lots of booze, smoke lots of pot, and/or gamble lots of money, and/or c) like they want to make lots of money getting others to drink lots of booze, smoke lots of pot, and/or gamble lots of money.)

CHAMPAIGN/URBANA NEWS GAZETTE
— A billionaire’s burden – Editorial  (DIERSEN: Have you ever sought reduction of an assessed valuation?  I did during the 1980s and 1990s for 915 Cove Court in Wheaton.  Ultimately, the Property Tax Appeal Board granted me a reduction, although not as large as I had asked for.  If I sought a government office or a political office, my critics/opponents in Wheaton would bring that up. My critics/opponents side a) with the subdivision’s developer and builder of my home and b) with City of Wheaton officials who approved the subdivision’s grossly inadequate storm water drainage plan and approved the violation of many construction and building codes when the subdivision was constructed in 1983 and my home was built in 1983 and 1984.)

— REP. REICK EXPLAINS HIS OPPOSITION TO PROPOSED COAL TAR SEALANT BAN  (DIERSEN: I had my 33-year-old driveway seal coated yesterday for $140. For many years now, to prolong the driveway’s useful life, I have had the driveway seal coated in the spring and in the fall each year.  Of course, if I sought a government office or a political office, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes would use that against me, just like they would use against me a) my having a 20-W whole-house backup natural gas-fired electric generator installed and b) my spending my time and my money to prevent basement flooding and to address lot drainage problems.)

https://capitolfax.com/2017/05/16/attacks-continue-on-pritzker-over-property-tax-breaks/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: OK, so read between the lines a bit. Pritzker paid $3.7 million for the house, but it’s assessed value remained at or above its original $6 million list price. Usually, you’d file for a reassessment right away if you bought a house for much lower than its assessed valuation, but Pritzker didn’t, which cost him some bucks he didn’t need to be paying.)

David McSweeney of Barrington Hills and state Sen. Tom Cullerton, a Democrat from Villa Park, wrote to Mendoza after learning the state is leasing a former furniture warehouse in Springfield for $2.4 million over five years when it could have been purchased for around $750,000. McSweeney calls it “clearly wasteful spending” and “the last thing taxpayers’ money should be used for.”)

NEW YORK TIMES
— Life and Combat for Republicans at Berkeley – THOMAS FULLER  (DIERSEN: Democrats run the federal government.  If I had been active in Republican politics while I was in school, a) the Post Office would NOT have hired me in 1966 or let me work there for almost 3 years, b) IRS would NOT have hired me in 1971 or let me work there for almost 9 years, c) IRS would NOT have promoted me in 1972, 1973, or 1974, d) GAO would NOT have hired me in 1980 or let me work there for almost 18 years, and e) GAO would NOT have promoted me in 1986.)
https://www.nytimes.com/2017/05/08/us/republicans-at-berkeley-college.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: On this famously liberal campus, it is easy to dismiss Berkeley Republicans as an oxymoron. Being a Republican at the University of California, Berkeley, is hard, conservative students say, a crucible of ideological combat. Some said they had been mocked, spat on and punched. Founded in the 1960s, the Berkeley College Republicans have remained a small and tightknit club, today numbering a few dozen active members. But Republican alumni have gone on to prominent jobs: Michael Anton is a senior national security official in the Trump administration. Alex Marlow is editor in chief of Breitbart News. Claire Chiara, a graduating senior and past president of the Berkeley College Republicans, was one of the youngest delegates to the Republican National Convention last year. The College Republicans made national headlines in recent weeks when the group invited Ann Coulter, the right-wing writer and provocateur, to speak. In February, anarchist protesters had violently broken up a planned speech on campus by the right-wing journalist Milo Yiannopoulos, and the university’s administration and the club haggled over a date and a “protectable” venue for Ms. Coulter; she ended up not coming. Berkeley’s Republicans have turned the tables on liberals at the campus, championing free speech and putting a conservative claim on one of the university’s proudest liberal legacies. Last month, the group and another conservative student organization sued administrators for what they said was discrimination against conservative speakers. They have co-opted the language of the left, portraying themselves as fighting intolerance. Not all Berkeley Republicans agree with their tactics — some describe it as unnecessarily provocative.)

From what I saw working for the federal government for almost 30 years, the more of the following that you did, the faster and higher that you get promoted: a) be a Democrat, b) promote the Democrat Party platform, c) help your superiors retain and promote their employees who are Democrat, minority, female, and/or younger, and d) help your superiors get rid of their employees who are Republican, White, male, older, and/or non-veteran.)
https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/powerpost/wp/2017/05/08/the-sammies-therapy-for-feds-during-tough-times-under-trump/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Federal employees could use some good news. With President Trump’s proposed budget cuts for many agencies and the planned elimination of 19 small agencies looming, the potential loss of thousands of jobs leaves feds anxious. So, the annual Samuel J. Heyman Service to America Medal finalists announcement comes at an appropriate time. While specific federal employees are nominated for the awards, they also point to the impressive work done by the workforce generally. Twenty-six finalists, including teams, will be acknowledged at a breakfast Tuesday in the Dirksen Senate Office Building as part of Public Service Recognition Week. The medal winners in seven categories, including federal employee of the year and the new “promising innovations” group, will be honored at a gala in September. “The federal innovators recognized for this years’ Service to America Medals represent the passion and hard work demonstrated every day by government workers throughout the country,” said Max Stier, president and chief executive of the Partnership for Public Service, the nonpartisan good government group that sponsors the awards. “Federal leaders must create a climate where talented people will want to serve in government and tap into the desire of young people to make a difference for our country. That starts by celebrating the many outstanding contributions that our nation’s civil servants are making for society.” But does that climate exist under Trump?)

— Trump’s presence could be felt in suburban election – TAHMAN BRADLEY  (DIERSEN: Do you live in one of the 11 counties in Illinois that voted for Clinton?  If you are a Trump supporter, what adverse actions have the anti-Trumps taken against you? What adverse actions are they taking against you?  What adverse actions have they threatened to take against you?)
http://wgntv.com/2017/03/31/trumps-pressence-could-be-felt-in-suburban-election/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Next Tuesday, suburban voters head to the polls. In Bolingbrook, a small municipal contest could be early test of how President Donald Trump will impact local elections. For 31 years, Roger Claar has served as Bolingbrook mayor.  He’s on the ballot again Tuesday. But he’s facing a serious challenge from Jacqueline Traynere. Claar hosted for Trump last fall.   The big money event was held at the village-owned Bolingbrook Golf Club, or as some residents call it, “Rog Mahal.” “You’re bringing in somebody who talks negatively about the minorities in our community, who disrespects the message on the Statue of Liberty, who just spews hate,” Traynere said. Bolingbrook voted overwhelmingly for Hillary Clinton and Traynere is pounding Claar for backing Trump. Today, Claar hit back. “She’s an opportunist. She’s running because of the Trump fundraiser,” he said. “I doubt she would have run otherwise.  I’ve had many people tell me, ‘I was disappointed, but I’ve forgiven you.’” The race has also turned personal. Traynere claims the mayor was unprofessional and rude to her when raised questions about violence against women. “I do believe that we have a domestic violence issue that’s pretty high profile in our community,” she said. “He requested the meeting to tell me to sit down and shut up. This is the kind of mayor that we have in this community. If he doesn’t like what you have to say he tells you to sit down and shut up. He’s a bully.” The mayor told WGN News he doesn’t recall the conversation. “I don’t bully. I’m a bully for Bolingbrook. I stand up for Bolingbrook,” he said. Traynere has also made Bolingbrook’s debt an issue in the campaign. “Two years ago, we only owed $180 million. As of June of last year, we owed $316 million,” she said. Mayor Claar admits the village is adding debt, but he says it’s being used for crucial infrastructure investments. He says Traynere  may serve on the Will County Board, but she has no municipal experience. “She’s saying nothing about what she’s going to do except for saying hate me and called me a bully. Now, is that a good platform? I guess we’ll see Tuesday.” Mayor Claar says he does not regret the Trump fundraiser.)

They blame me for all of their problems, for all of your problems, for all of my problems, and for all of everyone’s problems.)
https://www.nytimes.com/2017/03/31/business/media/april-ryan-white-house-spicer-trump.html
(FROM THE ARTICE: By the time April D. Ryan left the White House briefing room on Tuesday, she was already making headlines: on live television, President Trump’s press secretary, Sean M. Spicer, had cut off her questions to chastise her for what he deemed an inappropriate shake of her head. In Ms. Ryan’s basement office in the West Wing, the phone started to ring. Her fans, it seemed, were having none of it. “I was appalled at the way Sean Spicer was treating you with such disrespect,” said a pained-sounding woman named Pam, who said she had listened to Ms. Ryan, the White House correspondent for American Urban Radio Networks, for years. “I have people come at me in all sorts of ways,” Ms. Ryan told Pam, nodding. “I thank you so much.” Hanging up, Ms. Ryan, whose workspace is about the size of a telephone booth, checked her Twitter account. After Mr. Spicer’s harangue, she had tweeted a single word — “Lawd!!!!” — which was rapidly going viral. (By week’s end, it would be retweeted more than 6,000 times.) Somebody had replied with a video of Melissa McCarthy imitating Mr. Spicer on “Saturday Night Live” by shoving a lectern at a reporter. Ms. Ryan howled with delight. “I love Melissa McCarthy!” she said. One of the few black journalists in the White House press corps, Ms. Ryan has covered presidents and clashed with press secretaries for 20 years. But her encounters with the Trump administration are propelling the 49-year-old, Baltimore-bred journalist to a new level of prominence — and into a contentious debate over this White House’s attitudes toward gender and race. First there was Mr. Trump’s bizarre request, at a February news conference, that Ms. Ryan arrange a meeting between him and the Congressional Black Caucus. “Are they friends of yours?” the president asked, apparently oblivious to the racial undertones of posing such a query to a black journalist. Then came Tuesday, when Mr. Spicer laced into Ms. Ryan after she asked how the administration planned to revamp its image in light of reports about suspicious ties with Russia. “It seems like you’re hellbent on trying to make sure that whatever image you want to tell about this White House stays,” Mr. Spicer shot back from the lectern, after accusing Ms. Ryan of harboring an “agenda.” When Ms. Ryan tried to clarify, he interrupted. “You’re asking me a question and I’m going to answer it,” he said, adding in a tone: “I’m sorry, please stop shaking your head again.” Mr. Spicer is belligerent on the best of days. But his tone toward Ms. Ryan struck some viewers — including Hillary Clinton — as pointed and condescending, particularly because it was directed toward a black woman. “April Ryan, a respected journalist with unrivaled integrity, was doing her job just this afternoon in the White House press room, when she was patronized and cut off trying to ask a question,” Mrs. Clinton told a women’s group in California. (Mrs. Clinton, who has sat for interviews with Ms. Ryan, saw the exchange on Twitter that day and added the line to her speech.) The hashtag #BlackWomenatWork trended on Twitter, linking Ms. Ryan with Representative Maxine Waters of California, whose hairstyle was mocked by the Fox News host Bill O’Reilly (he later apologized). Whoopi Goldberg expressed her disgust on “The View.” John Dingell, the former Democratic representative from Michigan, wrote on Twitter: “If the WH doesn’t want talented journalists like @AprilDRyan to shake their heads, perhaps they should stop acting like some damn children.” For Ms. Ryan, the attention is energizing, and a bit unsettling. She posted supportive comments from fans and celebrities on her Twitter feed, but also some of the racist replies that she says are a byproduct of her job. When a Florida radio host requested a photo with her at the White House — “I just love the way you don’t take no for an answer” — Ms. Ryan politely declined. “It’s going to look like I’m gloating,” she said. “Look, I’m a black woman in a white male dominated town,” Ms. Ryan said later, when asked if she felt treated differently. But she said her primary goal was to remain focused on her work. “I like Sean Spicer,” Ms. Ryan said. “I don’t want this to hurt him.” She paused. “I don’t want it to hurt me, either.”)

http://www.chicagobusiness.com/article/20170327/BLOGS02/170329877/despite-poll-no-vote-now-on-legal-pot
(FROM THE ARTCLE: Steans was reacting to a survey by the Paul Simon Public Policy Institute at Southern Illinois that found a stunning two-thirds of voters saying they support the legalization of pot “if taxed and regulated like alcohol.” . . . Support for full legalization was wide across the state and among political subdivisions. While such backing was strongest among Democrats, young people and Chicagoans, the plan gets support from 52 percent of Republicans surveyed, 54 percent of downstaters and 51 percent of those aged 66 and up, the institute said. Just 31 percent of voters overall indicated they oppose or strongly oppose such an action.)

https://www.bna.com/legal-status-dreamers-n57982085106/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A group of 10 House Republicans introduced legislation (H.R.1468) that would provide legal status to young, undocumented immigrants who came to the U.S. as children, known as “dreamers.” The move signals a growing consensus among lawmakers on both sides of the aisle that this population should get special treatment, even as the administration continues to crack down on illegal immigration generally. President Donald Trump also has commented that he plans to “work out something” for the group. He hasn’t yet touched former President Barack Obama’s program protecting dreamers, despite promising on the campaign trail to terminate it. “These are America’s children, and that is why I’m proud to lead this group of representatives from all over the country to introduce legislation to simply recognize them as such and provide them an earned path to legal status,” Rep. Carlos Curbelo (R-Fla.), the bill’s main sponsor, said in a statement.)

— REPUBLICAN LAWMAKERS SAY THEY’RE SKIPPING TOWN HALLS FOR ‘SAFETY REASONS’ – Stacey Baca
http://abc7chicago.com/politics/gop-lawmakers-say-theyre-skipping-town-halls-for-safety-reasons/1783734/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Some Republican congressmen are facing angry voters in their districts, concerned with the repeal of the Affordable Care Act and other issues with the new president’s agenda. They say security concerns are why they’re canceling town halls. Congressman Randy Hultgren announced Friday afternoon that one of his staff members quit this week because she was worried about her safety at the office. The police chief in Campton Hills confirmed they have handled a few minor calls. There has been no violence at any of the town hall meetings held across the country, but the congressman says safety is the reason he won’t hold town hall meetings. Republicans have faced protests at home, including Hultgren. He has decided for now to meet with constituents only in small groups, not town halls. “They get frustrated having individual time with me, or a small group meeting with me. They want to have something that is more theatrical. I just don’t know if that is beneficial right now,” he said. Hultgren represents part of McHenry, Kane and Kendall counties. “We just want to make sure that everybody is safe, that we have this respect in the process that we can listen from each other, learn from each other, disagree at times but with a level of respect,” he said. Although Hultgren used former congresswoman Gabby Giffords’ shooting as an example, Giffords recently released her own response, saying politicians must face their constituents and hold town hall meetings. Congressman Peter Roskam, who represents the far northwest and western suburbs, has also had protests in his districts. Instead of town halls, he’s using phone meetings. “Rather than having a meeting with 200 people that are essentially shouting at one another, I thought it was more helpful to meet with 18,000 people on the phone to have a wider range of opinion and much more feedback,” he said. The protests, for some, harken back to the early days of the Tea Party. Senator Dick Durbin, who met with Tea Partiers at the time, sold an old boxing quote to put it in perspective. “They used to say something about Joe Lewis, the great heavyweight champion, they used to say something about his opponents: they can run but they can’t hide. The same is true about members of Congress. You can avoid your constituents for some period of time, but ultimately they get the last word in the election,” Durbin said. Voters have criticized Republican lawmakers for shirking their duty to their constituents and continue to push for town hall meetings. Experts said things will only get worse for lawmakers because soon they will start voting on laws, and voters will follow how their representatives are voting.)

http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/opinion/editorials/ct-age-bias-edit-plummer-terkel-scully-0304-jm-20170303-story.html
(FROM THE EDITORIAL: Yes, this is often said to be the Age of the Millennial. And virtually every discussion of generations quickly references baby boomers. But assigning stereotypes to different age groups isn’t just annoying. It’s often misleading. Case in point: America’s concept of retirement has changed. Many people are working well into their 70s and 80s. Insert here your own story about the 83-year-old co-worker who never got sick and was always the first to arrive each day. And workers with that depth of life and work experience bring to the table a wealth of institutional and subject knowledge about their fields. That’s a wellspring that millennials can tap into, and employers should covet. Too often, they don’t. Ageism — that is, discrimination based on someone’s age — is rampant in today’s workplace. According to a study by AARP in 2013, 3 of every 5 older workers reported having seen or experienced age discrimination at work. Age discrimination complaints brought to the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission have jumped 26 percent over the last decade, from 16,548 in 2006 to 20,857 last year. Madigan is right to take up this issue, and we hope the job search firms that have been warned make the right fixes. A spokeswoman for CareerBuilder told the Tribune’s Alexia Elejalde-Ruiz that the company “is committed to helping workers of all ages find job opportunities, and is fixing this unfortunate oversight.” That’s good to hear. After all, what difference does it make if someone’s 23, 43, 63 or 83 — as long as he or she can get the job done well. Mark Twain put it best: “Age is an issue of mind over matter. If you don’t mind, it doesn’t matter.”)

CHICAGO SUN-TIMES
— Staying home from New Trier – Shia Kapos
http://chicago.suntimes.com/news/kapos-making-political-oratory-great-again/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: New Trier High School’s seminar day examining civil rights has gone off without a hitch. No numbers yet on attendance, but the auditorium seating was nearly filled. At least one family, however, chose not to send their student to school. Robert Blackwell Jr., a Chicago entrepreneur and friend and supporter of President Barack Obama, says his daughter stayed home. While the school took some heat from conservative parents who thought the curriculum leaned too far left, Blackwell worried the content just wasn’t appropriate. He lives on the South Side and his daughter lives on the North Shore with her mom. Blackwell said negative images were being reinforced, and he pointed to a session called “Blackenomics 101,” based on a rap song that uses the N-word. “This session tells white teenagers that blacks need to express themselves through vulgarity and violence,” he said. Blackwell is chairman of EKI-Digital, which helps companies monetize technology investments, and he’a chairman of Killerspin table-tennis company. Keynote speakers were Colson Whitehead, who wrote “The Underground Railroad,” and Andrew Aydin, who with U.S. Rep. John Lewis, co-authored “March.”)

To postpone/avoid being gotten rid of by anti-Whites, more and more and more Whites are becoming anti-White.
