IDAHO PRESS
— Ensure lasting liberty by getting involved – TOM LUNA (DIERSEN: I should write a book about the leaders of the Illinois Republican Party, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Milton Township Organization and how they have treated Republican Precinct Committeemen in Illinois, in DuPage County, and Milton Township since 2000.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: There are also many grassroots opportunities in your local communities. The best leadership is local leadership, and Idaho has a strong network of local leaders. Each county has a Republican Central Committee that organizes, campaigns, and elects Republican candidates. Each central committee is comprised of precinct committee people, who are elected during primary elections every two years. Each voting precinct has a committee person (these are your neighbors!), so contact your local precinct committeeman and ask how you can become involved. It’s easy. You can visit idgop.org/county-parties for contacts in your community.)

But nevertheless, I a) took college-preparatory courses, b) got into the upper 20% of my class, c) got a 24 on the ACT, d) got accepted by UIC in 1966, e) got accepted by NIU in 1969 and graduated with a bachelor of science degree in management in 1970, f) got accepted by Loyola in 1972 and graduated with an MBA in 1976, g) got accepted by DePaul in 1976 and graduated with a master’s degree in accounting in 1980, h) passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, i) passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981, and j) got accepted by IIT in 1992 and graduated with a master’s degree in finance in 1997. My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes attribute the aforesaid to my benefitting from “White privilege.”)

But wait: Shouldn’t they have given some thought to debt payments when they signed up for overpriced colleges? When they majored in subjects like photography or women’s studies, unlikely to lead to good jobs? When they took six years to graduate (a third don’t graduate even after six years).)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Facebook has rolled out a new pop-up to dissuade users from sharing so-called misinformation. Facebook released yet another stopgap to prevent what could be seen by some as possible misinformation. “Starting today, we’re testing a way to promote more informed sharing of news articles,” Facebook Newsroom announced via Twitter on Monday. “If you go to share a news article link you haven’t opened, we’ll show a prompt encouraging you to open it and read it, Facebook Newsroom’s tweet included an attached screenshot showing a pop-up warning a hypothetical user: “You’re about to share this article without opening it.

— This job requires you to pay $1,800 for your own training – DAVID LAZARUS (DIERSEN: How much did you pay for your job-related education expenses?

I spent lots of money for room and board at NIU 1969-1970. I paid lots of money for cars to get to/from classes. If I had not had a 1970 bachelor’s degree in business from NIU, Firestone Stores would not have hired me in 1970, Oldsmobile would not have offered me a job in 1971, and IRS would not have hired me in 1971. If I had not been taking graduate business courses at Loyola, IRS might not have promoted me in 1972, 1973, and 1974. If had not had a 1976 MBA from Loyola, if I had not been taking graduate accounting courses at DePaul, and if I had not passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, GAO would not have hired me in 1980. If I had not had a 1980 master’s degree in accounting from DePaul, if I had not passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981, and if I had not become a licensed CPA in 1981, GAO would not have promoted me in 1986. If I had not been taking graduate finance courses at IIT, my Democrat GAO superiors might have succeeded in forcing me to take their early retirement “offer” sooner than they did.)

RASMUSSEN REPORTS
— Liberal Media Viewers Are Misinformed About Crime in America
https://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/partner_surveys/liberal_media_viewers_are_misinformed_about_crime_in_america
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Fewer than 50 unarmed black suspects were killed by police last year and more people were killed with knives than with so-called “assault weapons,” but viewers of MSNBC and CNN are far more likely than Fox News viewers to get those facts wrong. A new Heartland Institute and Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey finds that 50% of Likely U.S. Voters who say MSNBC or CNN is their favorite cable news outlet believe more than 100 unarmed African Americans were fatally shot by police in 2020. By contrast, only 22% of Fox News viewers believe police shot more than 100 unarmed black people last year. Nearly a quarter of CNN viewers (24%) and almost one-in-five MSNBC viewers (19%) think cops fatally shot more than 500 unarmed black suspects last year, but only nine percent (9%) of Fox News viewers think so. Fox News viewers (60%) were about three times more likely than viewers of MSNBC (19%) or CNN (23%) to correctly estimate the number of unarmed black people shot and killed by police in 2020 as less than 50. Sixty percent (60%) of talk radio listeners also estimated the number correctly. About 1,500 homicides in the U.S. annually are committed with knives, while fewer than 500 are committed with rifles. However, 30% of Likely Voters think the annual number of homicides committed with rifles is more than 500, including 18% who believe more than 1,000 homicides a year are committed with rifles. Thirty percent (30%) of MSNBC viewers correctly estimated the number of homicides committed with rifles as between 100 and 500, as did 22% of CNN viewers and 19% of Fox News viewers. However, while 63% of Fox viewers underestimated the number of killings with rifles as less than 100, viewers of CNN and MSNBC were more likely to overestimate the number of homicides committed with rifles. Forty-three percent (43%) of CNN viewers and 40% of MSNBC viewers believe rifles are used in more than 500 homicides annually, compared to just 19% of Fox News viewers. Only 26% of talk radio listeners overestimated the number of homicides committed with rifles. . .“There is a strong correlation between a likely voter’s favorite television news outlet and his or her understanding of basic facts about police shootings and homicides involving rifles,” Justin Haskins of the Heartland Institute observed in an analysis. “Compared to viewers of Fox News, ‘another’ cable news outlet (such as The Blaze TV or Newsmax), and those who do not watch television news, viewers of CNN, MSNBC, ABC, CBS, and NBC were substantially more likely to overestimate the number of fatal police shootings of unarmed African Americans.” Thirty-four percent (34%) of Likely Voters say Fox News is their favorite cable news outlet, 20% say CNN, 17% say MSNBC, 19% say “another” network and 10% say they don’t watch cable news. Among Republican voters, Fox News is the overwhelming favorite (58%), while most Democrats are divided between CNN (34%) and MSNBC (29%). Among voters not affiliated with either major party, 27% say Fox News is their favorite cable news outlet, 15% say CNN, 12% say MSNBC, 30% say “another” network and 15% say they don’t watch cable news.)

CHICAGO SUN-TIMES
— Campaign stunt, ads bring California recall into new phase. California’s recall election now features “the beast” and a “compassionate disruptor.” That’s how John Cox and Caitlyn Jenner, Republicans running for California governor, pitched themselves to voters Tuesday in new campaign ads. – AP
https://chicago.suntimes.com/2021/5/4/22419997/campaign-stunt-ads-bring-california-recall-into-new-phase
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Cox, a 65-year-old businessman who lost in a landslide to Newsom in 2018, released a video calling himself “the beast” to the photogenic Newsom’s “beauty.” He also resorted to name-calling reminiscent of former President Donald Trump, repeatedly labeling Newsom a “pretty boy” who lacks governing chops. Launching a bus tour in Sacramento with a live Kodiak bear named Tag ambling behind him in the hot sun, Cox promised to bring “beastly” changes to state government. He spent $5 million to begin airing a 30-second version on television statewide, his campaign said, a major amount this early in the campaign and indicative of the need to raise his profile in a crowded field. The stunt was aimed at drawing eyes to his campaign, but he promised to discuss “serious issues” — like bringing down the cost of housing, boosting the state’s water resources and preventing special interests from influencing government. “You have to get this message out and that’s what we’re going to do here,” he said.)
— Lightfoot sets goal to ‘fully open’ Chicago by July 4. The Chicago Auto Show already is set to open July 15. But getting “fully open” by July 4 also could mean the return of Lollapalooza, Taste of Chicago and the Air & Water Show, the city’s most popular and iconic summer events. – Fran Spielman

CHICAGO SUN-TIMES
— Void FOID? State’s top court asked to decide if it’s time to shoot down Firearm Owner Identification cards. The Illinois attorney general’s appeal of a downstate judge’s ruling sets up a battle over whether the state can require residents to hold an ID card in order to own a firearm. First enacted in 1968, the state’s Firearm Owner Identification Act does just that. But a southern Illinois judge said that makes residents’ Second Amendment rights a “façade.” – Andrew Sullender

DAILY HERALD
— Milton Township moving to form voter-approved mental health board
https://www.dailyherald.com/news/20210502/milton-township-moving-to-form-voter-approved-mental-health-board
(FROM THE ARTICLE: John Monino — Milton’s first new township supervisor in 20 years — will appoint the seven members to the mental health board. Monino will be sworn in on May 14. Under state law, the township has 60 days from his swearing-in to seat the 708 board. Monino said he hopes to make the first mental health board appointments at a township trustee meeting in June. The panel could include doctors, parents, and representatives of schools or social service agencies. “We will do everything in the township to support and grow that and outreach,” Monino said. Township trustees also will get the final say on the amount residents would pay in additional taxes each year. But the request that was approved by voters caps the tax levy for the mental health board at 0.15% of the assessed value of taxable property. When asked about the tax increase, Monino said the levy is “not going to be touching at that top end” of the cap. He’s hoping to have the levy adopted in October or early November. “We’re going to be researching and looking at all aspects so everybody is comfortable,” Monino said.)

ILLINOIS CPA SOCIETY
— COURSE: The IRS Collection Process (DIERSEN: GAO audits IRS. When I transferred from IRS to GAO in 1980, I could have taught this course. I had worked for IRS’s Collection Division for almost 9 years, the last 5 1/2 years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 Levels, currently $85,935-$97,395/year. I filed many tax liens and tax levies.  I had worked as an IRS Special Procedures Staff Advisor during my last 3 1/2 years with IRS. Special Procedures Staff Advisors confer with IRS Attorneys, Revenue Officers, Revenue Agents and Special Agents as well as taxpayers and their representatives to resolve complex tax issues and determine a course of action designed to protect the Government’s interests and expedite payment of taxes due. I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979. My Democrat GAO superiors wasted my knowledge of IRS. In 1986, the GAO manager who had hired me finally succeeded in getting me assigned to audits of IRS and promoting me to GS-13. But my Democrat GAO superiors succeeded in forcing him to retire in 1987, and starting in 1989, they succeeded in keeping me off audits of IRS for the rest of GAO career. In 1997, when I was 49 years old, they succeeded in forcing me to take their early retirement “offer.”)
