GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— Your GOPUSA Illinois Editor Dave Diersen will urge the Wheaton City Council at its meeting Monday, July 1, 2019, at 7 P.M. to make Wheaton the first municipality in Illinois to ban the sale of pot. Municipalities and counties that do not ban the sale of pot shout that they are NOT FAMILY FRIENDLY. Your mayor and your city council members and your county board chairman and your county board members should ASAP call for a vote on the sale of pot and ASAP announce that they will vote against the sale of pot. I urge Wheaton Mayor Phil Suess and Wheaton City Council members Michael Barbier, Erica Bray-Parker, Suzanne Fitch, John K. Rutledge, and Todd Scalzo and the new North District Council member (soon to be Christopher J. Zaruba) to a) call for a vote on the sale of pot in Wheaton ASAP and b) vote NO on the sale of pot in Wheaton. I urge DuPage County Chairman Dan Cronin and DuPage County Board members Donald Puchalski, Ashley Selmon, Sam Tornatore, Elizabeth Chaplin, Peter “Pete” DiCianni, Sean Noonan, Greg Hart, Brian Krajewski, Julie Renehan, Grant Eckhoff, Tim Elliott, Mary FitzGerald Ozog, Sadia Covert, Dawn DeSart, James Healy, Robert Larsen, Sheila Rutledge, and James Zay to a) call for a vote on the sale of pot in unincorporated DuPage County ASAP and b) vote NO on the sale of pot in unincorporated DuPage County. – Dave Diersen

All $2,500 has been pledged toward the $2,500 “DuPage County Republicans” sponsorship commitment: $500 from Roger Claar; $250 each from Berlin, Sanguinetti, Phil Suess, and Tim Whelan; and $100 each from Michael Barbier, Grant Eckhoff, Tim Elliott, Grant, Chris Heidorn, Babette Holder, Jeanne Ives, Marty Keller, Bob Larsen, and Walsh. I am in the process of hand-delivering 500 flyers (printed courtesy of Alpha Graphics) to the residences and businesses on the parade route that include the Republican entries in the parade, the sponsor’s names, and the amounts they contributed. – Dave Diersen

— Recent surveys agree that more than one-third of all college students suffer at times from bouts of food insecurity. The rate is far higher for students with an extra risk factor: belonging to a racial minority, having a single parent or being the first in their family to attend college, for example. . .A recent study by the Government Accountability Office says only 29% of those now in college are “traditional students,” who enroll right out of high school and depend on their parents for support. The rest, especially in community colleges, can be older, and financially fragile — often with children of their own. – Cokie Roberts and Steven V. Roberts

— Car fee, tax would wipe out graduated tax plan’s savings for many in Illinois – Jake Griffin (DIERSEN: While I own seven vehicles, I drive them very little because I spend 10+ hours each and every day putting GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails together and sending them out. Only one of the seven is over 25 years old. Six times $50 is $300.) 
https://www.dailyherald.com/news/20190605/car-fee-tax-would-wipe-out-graduated-tax-plans-savings-for-many-in-illinois
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The average Illinois car owner would pay an extra $50 a year to register it and about $95 more annually to gas it up. The motor fuel tax hike would go into effect July 1, but the registration fee increase wouldn’t happen until the first of the year. Money generated by the increases would pay for road construction and other public works projects throughout the state, which Pritzker and other backers say are long overdue and will create jobs. The fees also include a 6% daily and 9% monthly tax on parking in garages and lots, a $1 increase in the per-pack cigarette tax to $2.98 and changes in the tax structure for online purchases.)

— Trump says he “would’ve been honored” to serve in Vietnam War (DIERSEN: I should write a book about those who have punished me the most since 1966 for my getting four student draft deferments 1966-1970 and a financial hardship draft deferment 1970-1971.)
https://www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-says-honored-serve-vietnam-war-us-military-medical-deferment-bone-spurs-piers-morgan/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Mr. Trump’s medical deferment from the draft came up repeatedly during his campaign for the White House in 2015 and 2016, and has resurfaced as a talking point among his Democratic challengers ahead of the coming election in 2020. South Bend, Indiana Mayor Pete Buttigieg accused President Trump last month of using his “privileged status to fake a disability” to dodge the draft during the Vietnam War. “This is somebody, who I think it is fairly obvious to most of us, took advantage of the fact that he was a child of multimillionaire in order to pretend to be disabled so that somebody could go to war in his place,” Buttigieg said of Mr. Trump. During the presidential campaign in July 2015, the Trump campaign said Mr. Trump had a “medical deferment for bone spurs on both heels of his feet.” The statement also said that Mr. Trump entered the military draft lottery and had received number 356 out of 365. “When the draft occurred, they never got near his number, and he was therefore exempt from serving in the military,” the Trump campaign said in a statement at the time. “Although he was not a fan of the Vietnam War, yet another disaster for our country, had his draft number been selected he would have proudly served and he is tremendously grateful to all those who did.” In a C-SPAN interview in October 2017, the late Sen. John McCain took a swipe at Mr. Trump over the deferment, saying it was “wrong” for him to have claimed to have bone spurs to avoid military service.)

https://prairiestatewire.com/stories/511771014-mcglasson-warns-there-will-be-little-left-after-2020-if-gop-doesn-t-shape-up
(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.”)

While I was a student, I pumped gasoline in 1966; delivered mail 1966-1969; and worked on an automobile assembly line and as a security guard in 1970.

Swain (DIERSEN: What do you say to “Republicans” who dump on individuals, organizations, companies, governments, and countries that are Trump supporters, Protestant, conservative, patriotic, Republican, American, White, male, older, rich, gun owners, German American, and/or those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time? Are these “Republican” dumpers really Democrat plants, Libertarian plants, Green plants, or RINOs?)

WASHINGTON POST
— Dozens of journalists were murdered in 2018. This is a crisis of press freedom. – Editorial (DIERSEN: Since 2000, my critics/opponents have charged me with disseminating “false” or “fake” news. Should I sue my critics/opponents? According to my critics/opponents, all news and commentary is “false” or “fake,” except for the news and commentary that they put out or bless.)
https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/global-opinions/dozens-of-journalists-were-murdered-in-2018-this-is-a-crisis-of-press-freedom/2018/12/30/eab8ad2e-092d-11e9-88e3-989a3e456820_story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: In Saudi Arabia, the same campaign against dissent that led to Mr. Khashoggi’s murder left 16 journalists imprisoned in December, according to the CPJ account, including four women who reported on women’s rights. Egypt had the dishonorable distinction of imprisoning the most people — 19 — on charges of disseminating “false” or “fake” news. The growing number of journalists jailed or attacked on that pretext is one illustration of the deleterious influence that President Trump has had on press freedom globally. His labeling of the U.S. media as the “enemy of the people” and charges of “fake news” have been imitated by regimes around the world. At the same time, his refusal to hold Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman responsible for Mr. Khashoggi’s murder, despite a CIA finding that he likely ordered it, has, as CPJ put it, “signaled that countries that do enough business with the United States are free to murder journalists without consequence.” It won’t be a surprise if 2019 produces another large body count.)

But studies show people are earning less or failing to find work – Eric Morath (DIERSEN: Between 1992 and 1997, I paid for my own “retraining.” In 1989, the Democrats who ran GAO’s Chicago office a) made it clear that they would never again assign me to audits of IRS and b) assigned me to audits of federal financial industry regulators. Between 1992 and 1997, I took graduate finance courses at IIT, and in 1997 earned a master’s degree in financial markets and trading.)

— Government to furloughed workers: Ask landlords about doing chores to cover rent – Michael Brice-Saddler (DIERSEN: Employers, and just about everyone else, view the job skills that federal employees acquire as being WORTHLESS.)
https://www.chicagotribune.com/news/nationworld/politics/ct-government-shutdown-furloughed-workers-20181229-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: On Thursday, the U.S. Office of Personnel Management tweeted sample letters to help the roughly 800,000 affected workers negotiate with creditors and mortgage companies. One letter, meant for employees to send to their landlords, discussed a temporary reduction in rent payments and further suggests “the possibility of trading my services to perform maintenance (e.g. painting, carpentry work) in exchange for partial rent payments.” On CNN Saturday morning, Tony Reardon, president of the National Treasury Employees Union, called the suggestion about trading services for rent payments “laughable” and “unfortunate.” “I think it’s disgusting, candidly,” Reardon said on “New Day.” He added, “It’s wrong to treat human beings this way.”)
