DUPAGE POLICY JOURNAL
— Wheaton mayoral candidate Suess focusing on fiscal responsibility – Glenn Minnis
https://dupagepolicyjournal.com/stories/511779250-mayoral-candidate-suess-focusing-on-fiscal-responsibility
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Wheaton City Council member Phil Suess is being saluted by his supporters as the antithesis of fellow council member John Prendiville in their run to replace Mayor Michael Gresk, who is not seeking re-election. At a Feb. 17 fundraiser to formally kick off his campaign held at the DuPage County Historical Museum, Suess’ “experience, background and principles” were touted as what Wheaton now needs most. A longtime local businessman who has served on the council since 2005, the 61-year-old Seuss is credited in the campaign flyer with often being the voice of reason on the panel, especially when it came to matters such as keeping property tax rates in order. “Phil has led the city financially and focused on paying down debt and making reasonable affordable investments in core infrastructure (sewers, water, roads, sidewalks, and trees) without taking on risky projects,” detailed the invite to his Feb. 17 event. “He has literally saved the residents millions of dollars by being prudent and demanding better bids on projects. He voted against unnecessary property tax increases.“ In contrast, Prendiville is tagged in the flyer as a “big taxes and big government” legislator who has “voted for every tax increase.” The flyer adss, “As a city councilman, Prendiville advocated against Wheaton’s families and businesses and wanted the city to take on debt and incur annual subsidies to operate a private theater that was not (and is still not) able to attract sufficient private investment. Prendiville argued against private development of Mariano’s which brings in $700,000 worth of sales tax a year. Prendiville argued against the development of DuPage Medical Group… Prendiville’s tendency is always to suggest more government and higher taxes and government overreach on private property.” Finally, Seuss supporters in the advertisement urged voters to know exactly who they are casting their ballot in favor of. ”Your City Council has enormous power over your property,” the flyer added.)

Members of Group A are anti-Trump, anti-Protestant, anti-conservative, anti-patriotic, anti-Republican, anti-American, anti-White, anti-male, anti-older people, anti-rich people, anti-gun owners, anti-German Americans, and/or anti-those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time and members of Group B are Trump supporters, Protestant, conservative, patriotic, Republican, American, White, male, older people, rich people, gun owners, German Americans, and/or those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time.)

The biggest indicator of that percentage is the percentage of their students that are anti-Trump, anti-Protestant, anti-conservative, anti-patriotic, anti-Republican, anti-American, anti-White, anti-male, anti-older people, anti-rich people, anti-gun owners, anti-German Americans, anti-draft avoiders, and/or anti-those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time.)
https://www.washingtonpost.com/education/2019/02/16/why-donald-trump-jr-loser-teachers-comment-was-a-chilling-moment-educators-around-world/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: You may recall that President Trump held a border wall rally in El Paso on Monday and that his eldest child, Donald Trump Jr., made a speech that roused the crowd. The president’s son drew cheers when he urged young conservatives to “bring it to your schools” (though he didn’t say exactly what “it” was) because “you don’t have to be indoctrinated by these loser teachers that are trying to sell you on socialism from birth.”)

  1. LOUIS PUBLIC RADIO
    — JANUARY 23, 2019 FLASHBACK: Stress Over Shutdown Hits Veterans Who Work For The Federal Government Hard – CHAD DAVIS (DIERSEN: Overwhelmingly, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes demonize, denigrate, and condemn a) the federal government as being “the employer of last resort,” b) the work experience that federal employees gain as being worthless, and c) past, present, and future federal employees as being disgusting lazy stupid losers who should be gotten rid of.)
    https://news.stlpublicradio.org/post/stress-over-shutdown-hits-veterans-who-work-federal-government-hard#stream/0
    (FROM THE ARTICLE: Now veterans and their advocates are worried how financial instability is affecting this group of federal workers’ mental health, especially since many veterans consider the federal government an employer of last resort. “Being unstable financially can cause a whole lot of more issues for our veterans,” Rogers said. “Not only we came to where some of us couldn’t get jobs once we got out the military, we have to be trained because nobody was accepting the jobs we did.”)

https://www.illinoisreview.com/illinoisreview/2019/02/nevins-to-il-gop-leadership-embrace-party-platform-or-step-down-.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: On February 9th, the Illinois Republican Central Committee held an open-to the public meeting. If you are not aware of this, cut yourself some slack: most of the precinct committeemen I know were also unaware of it-which logically means that their committees weren’t aware of it either. Nevertheless, approximately sixty concerned observers attended the meeting; the public portion lasted three hours after which the committee adjourned to do their sausage making in private. After a bit of jocular banter by Chairman Tim Schneider, a discussion ensued over precisely how much time to allot to non-member statements. In a move that illustrates the leadership’s reluctance to actually listen to its base, the committee members voted to allow sixty seconds per speaker and the microphone was passed around to those interested. Twelve individuals took the opportunity to speak their minds. I was one of them-and – owing to a kind soul who donated his moment in the sun- I took a little more than my allotment.)

— McGlasson calls for Illinois GOP Chairman Schneider to ‘do the right thing’ and resign – Karen Kidd (DIERSEN: Illinois Republicans anxiously await the Illinois Republican Party (IRP) to publish a report on its February 9, 2019 State Central Committee (SCC) meeting in Bolingbrook, including a summary of the results of its “ILGOP Vision 2020” survey. The meeting included reports by IRP Chairman Tim Schneider and Co-Chairman Mark Shaw, IRP National Committeeman Richard Porter, IRP National Committeewoman Demetra Demonte, and the IRP SCC members. IRP SCC members are listed at: https://illinois.gop/who-we-are/officials/. Jeanne Ives addressed the meeting for 10 minutes. Meeting attendees included Richard Berner, John Biver, Carol Davis, Babette Holder, Bill Hogan, Doug Ibendahl, James Marter, Matt Quigley, Jan Shaw, and Allen Skillicorn. During the public comment portion of the meeting, attendees were given the opportunity to identify themselves and speak. The meeting ran from 9:30 AM until after 2:30 PM with only a short break for lunch. I posted a copy of the survey questions and my responses at the end of the February 9, 2019 GOPUSA ILLINOIS Morning Edition Email.)
https://prairiestatewire.com/stories/511770993-mcglasson-calls-for-illinois-gop-chairman-schneider-to-do-the-right-thing-and-resign
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Less than a year after an alleged attempt by now former Gov. Bruce Rauner to purge him from the Illinois GOP’s central committee, a committeeman earlier this week called upon the party’s chairman to resign. “I am respectfully asking our Chairman Tim Schneider to step aside for the good of the party in the future,” 16th Congressional District Representative John McGlasson said in a letter read into the record during the Republican State Central Committee’s meeting over the weekend. “Even though we disagree with many things, he is a good and honorable man. His work on behalf of the party merits our respect.” But that work apparently has not been good enough for McGlasson, and “his nearly five years of party leadership can only be described as disastrous,” the letter stated. “We have no Republican Constitutional Officers, we are in the super-minority in both houses of the General Assembly and the party’s finances are in dire straits.” Former State Representative Jeanne Ives reportedly spoke at the meeting and made a request similar to McGlasson’s.)

Zaid (DIERSEN: After wasting my career and forcing me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years old, my Democrat GAO superiors certainly did not want to silence me. They wanted everyone to know about GAO’s Affirmative Action, Diversity, Inclusion, and “up-or-out” policies, that is, that GAO gets rid of its employees who a Republican, White, male, and/or non-veteran who they did not promote to GS-13 (currently $96,403) by age 25, GS-14 (currently $113,920) by age 30, GS-15 (currently $134,000) by age 35, and Senior Executive Service (currently $164,200) by age 40. Obviously, the aforesaid policies help GAO recruit and retain Democrats, minorities, females, younger people, and veterans.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: The Illinois Republican Party faces a grim future if significant changes aren’t made soon, according to the committeeman who this past weekend asked state GOP Chairman Tim Schneider to resign. “The Republican voters own the party and the party should be listening to the voters,” Illinois Republican Party 16th Congressional District Rep. John McGlasson told Prairie State Wire during a recent email interview. “If the party continues as it is, there will be little left after 2020.” In his letter read into the record during the Republican State Central Committee’s meeting over the weekend in which McGlasson called for Schneider to resign, he also described what the GOP should be looking for in its next chairman. “Someone able to fulfill the mission of serving the county, township and ward organizations with logistics and training,” McGlasson said in the letter. “To bring the technology of the party up to date and arrange for on-site training to the organizations.” McGlasson’s letter and interview come less than a year after now former Gov. Bruce Rauner allegedly tried to purge him and other Conservatives in the Illinois GOP’s central committee. Last April, McGlasson was re-elected 16th Congressional District State Central Committeeman. Schneider removed McGlasson from the State Central Committee’s executive committee over McGlasson’s support of now former State Rep. Jeanne Ives’ failed primary race against then incumbent Governor Rauner. Despite the consequences he suffered for supporting Ives, McGlasson said he isn’t concerned about any retribution over his call for Schneider to resign. “There is little that they can do to me,” he said. “They already tried to win my seat without success. Being involved in the Illinois Republican Party has been personally expensive and I have never earned a dime from it. Unfortunately, the leaders will consider this a victory and will continue to ignore social conservatives.”)
