DAILY HERALD
— Consortium organizes to battle Pritzker’s graduated income tax plan – Jake Griffin (DIERSEN: When will conservative and Republican groups organize to battle Pritzker’s pot plan? From what I see, ever-increasingly, a) Libertarians exploit the Republican Party’s “big tent” philosophy, b) Libertarians falsely claim to be conservative and/or Republican, c) Libertarian plants gain leadership positions in the Republican Party, and d) those Libertarian plants use those leadership positions to get rid of conservatives and Republicans like me. I should write a book about past and present Libertarian plants who held/hold leadership positions in the Milton Township Republican Central Committee, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, Illinois Republican Party, TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois, Wheaton Chamber of Commerce, Illinois Center Right Coalition, American Association of Political Consultants, City of Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois.)

https://www.dailyherald.com/discuss/20190420/editorial-a-foreboding-decline-in-the-united-states-press-freedom-ranking
(FROM THE EDITORIAL: Truth be told, press freedom in America ranks below that of almost every other country in the West. Reporters Without Borders, an international organization that promotes freedom of expression around the globe, released its 2019 World Press Freedom Index Thursday, and the results are troubling worldwide, disturbing in the U.S. Worldwide, “hatred of journalists has degenerated into violence, contributing to an increase in fear,” the organization said in a summary of the report. “The number of countries regarded as safe, where journalists can work in complete security, continues to decline while authoritarian regimes continue to tighten their grip on the media.”)

Legislators are combating age discrimination, including a recent proposal called the Protecting Older Workers Against Discrimination Act, and companies are under fire for certain hiring practices, such as targeting younger applicants through social media. Older workers are stereotyped as lacking a strong work ethic, counting down the days to retirement and a disinterest in learning new skills to stay competitive in the workforce, and they also struggle with negative comments about their age from colleagues or are overlooked for promotions.)DAILY BEAST

— Democrats aren’t ‘smart enough’ to read Trump’s tax returns, Sarah Sanders says “I certainly don’t trust them to look through the decades of success the president’s had and determine anything,” the White House press secretary said. – Allan Smith (DIERSEN: I should write a book about those who have done the most to waste my knowledge of IRS. They include a) my Democrat IRS and GAO superiors, b) U.S. Senators and their staffs, c) U.S. Representatives and their staffs, d) candidates for U.S. Senate and their staffs, and e) candidates for U.S. Representatives and their staffs. I worked for IRS for almost 9 years, the last 5 1/2 years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 levels, currently $82,579-$93,592. I worked for GAO on audits of IRS for 3 years at the GS-13 step 1-3 levels, currently $98,198-$104,744.)

https://codcourier.org/11299/opinion/americas-fake-news-epidemic-we-need-credible-news-sources/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: In the era of the Internet, fake news is easily spread. It is because of today’s technology that we as consumers of media have the responsibility to seek out the most accurate, unbiased sources of news. Sources like Buzzfeed and Fox News are simply too biased to take for accurate news. These news outlets may be OK for a quick glance at what is happening in the world, but they shouldn’t be our go-to sources. I urge readers to make sure you are gathering information from reputable sources. I recommend The Associated Press, BBC and Reuters for world news, and the Daily Herald for local news. These media outlets tend to meet high journalistic standards while putting out minimal partisan bias in their stories. If we continue to allow ourselves to confuse biased, fake news for factual news, we risk the autonomy to make decisions based on our own morals. We cannot allow ourselves to be lied to by the fake news spread hazardously across the internet.)

https://www.cnbc.com/2019/04/13/older-workers-are-fastest-growing-labor-pool-and-the-least-protected.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Employees age 65 and older are the fastest-growing segment of the workforce, according to AARP. But legal safeguards that shield workers from age discrimination have been weakened in recent years. The newly reintroduced, bipartisan Protecting Older Workers Against Discrimination Act would reverse a 2009 Supreme Court ruling that made age discrimination cases harder to prove.)

CHICAGO SUN-TIMES
— Rahm ‘would welcome’ migrants Trump considers releasing to sanctuary cities – AP (DIERSEN: Needless-to-say, to “welcome” illegals is to illegally encourage illegal immigration. Chicago Democrats have illegally done everything that they can to get citizens of foreign countries to illegally come to America illegally and to illegally stay in America illegally. If Trump sent 10,000, 50,000, 100,000, 500,000, 1,000,000+ illegals to Chicago, what would Chicago Democrats do with them? I predict that those Chicago Democrats would soon spread those illegals that they do not want across Illinois. How many unwanted illegals would those Chicago Democrats send to your county, to your township, to your municipality, to your precinct, and to your neighborhood? Of course, if they have not done so already, the Democrats who run Illinois will give illegals the right to vote. With votes from illegals, the Democrats who run Illinois will get rid of even faster individuals, organizations, companies, and governments that are Trump supporters, Protestant, conservative, patriotic, Republican, American, White, male, older, rich, gun owners, German American, draft avoiders, and those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time.) 
https://chicago.suntimes.com/news/donald-trump-releasing-detained-immigrants-ice-sanctuary-cities/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Mayor Rahm Emanuel said Chicago would “welcome these migrants with open arms,” in response. “What President Trump fails to understand is that America is a sanctuary country,” Emanuel said. “Small, medium and large cities across the nation are suddenly and rapidly identifying as sanctuary cities because of the abandonment of Americans values, ideals and cultural destiny under President Trump’s watch.” The plan was panned by critics as an effort to use migrants as pawns to go after political opponents. Democratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi calls the plan “disrespectful.”)
