ILLINOIS FAMILY ACTION
— IL GOP Chairman Tim Schneider Needs To Resign
https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2019/02/il-gop-chairman-tim-schneider-needs-to-resign/


(FROM THE ARTICLE: The current IL GOP chairman, Tim Schneider, has divided the Party and for the following reasons should be asked to step down:

 

  • Tim Schneider tolerated years of lying by Bruce Rauner. When Rauner announced his candidacy for Governor, Tim Schneider was recruited to lead the IL GOP. He was Rauner’s faithful supporter from the beginning. Schneider stood behind Rauner as he lied about his support for HB 40 and then lied daily about the record of Jeanne Ives during the primary election. Finally, Schneider knew Rauner did not want to run for a second term, but remained silent about this during the fall election season while countless volunteers and donors were working their precincts.

 

  • Tim Schneider has done nothing to defend the IL GOP Platform. He remained supportive of Rauner while Rauner supported government funding of abortion, an income tax hike without pension reform, transgender birth certificates and a sanctuary state bill, just to name a few.

 

  • Tim Schneider doesn’t learn from his mistakes. At the December meeting of the Republican Party, Tim thanked Rauner for his contributions to the IL GOP, especially his financial contributions which have not left the Party more financially sound. No mention was made of the division Rauner created in the Party by his blatant lies and deception, or his disloyalty to our platform causing distrust and disrespect among Republican voters. Tim offered no solutions for uniting the Party other than surveying Republicans on issues of concern to them.)

 

GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— Fred Floreth, Illinois Republican Party (IRP) State Central Committee (SCC) Member for the 13th Congressional District, has responded to Illinois Family Action (see below). Mark Shaw, IRP Co-Chairman, Illinois Republican County Chairman’s Association President, and IRP SCC Member for the 10th Congressional District has advised me that he concurs with Mr. Floreth. – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com

 

(THE RESPONSE: Thank you for sending to me the below e-mail. I appreciate being on your mailing list and all you do to advance conservative causes in Illinois.

To borrow a phrase often used by Mark Levin, I am not a, “special pleader,” for Illinois Republican Party Chairman Tim Schneider, but I do believe in fairness. In that spirit, I make the following observations about your three reasons Chairman Schneider should step down:

1. On September 28, 2017, Chairman Schneider issued a press release expressing his disappointment with then-Governor Rauner’s decision to sign HB 40.

https://illinois.gop/ilgop-chairman-tim-schneider-statement-hb40/

Also, you state Chairman Schneider, “knew,” Rauner did not want to run for a second term. When the story became public, I personally asked the Chairman if he knew Rauner had asked people – including Illinois National Committeeman Richard Porter – to replace Rauner as our candidate for Illinois Governor. Chairman Schneider told me he did not know about these requests or Rauner’s lack of enthusiasm for re-election. I take Chairman Schneider at his word, because – to the best of my knowledge – he has always been truthful with me.

2. Chairman Schneider’s press release to which I linked above references, without mentioning the word, “platform,” the Illinois Republican Party’s opposition to taxpayer-funded abortion.

Also, I think you are being a little unfair to Governor Rauner when you wrote he supported, “an income tax hike without pension reform.” Recall Governor Rauner ultimately vetoed the income tax hike, but had his veto over-ridden with some Republican votes.

3. I have no problem with Chairman Schneider’s thanking Governor Rauner at our last meeting. The man was our Governor for four years and he did spend a LOT of time, money and energy trying to reform our state. Could Rauner have done better? Of course, but it would have been the epitome of ungratefulness – if not rudeness – not to publically thank Bruce Rauner for his efforts and contributions to our Party and the state at the first Republican State Central Committee meeting after the election.

Nowhere did you mention Chairman Schneider’s unwavering support of President Trump, which support may well have cost Schneider his seat on the Cook, “County Board.” I was at the Cleveland Convention with Chairman Schneider and can report he did everything he could to support then-candidate Trump. I have never heard Chairman Schneider speak ill of the President. Schneider was in an almost impossible position, trying to get Bruce Rauner re-elected while being faithful to the President.

Finally, assuming Chairman Schneider does not voluntarily resign, you should know that by the Illinois Republican Party By-Laws, removing the State Party Chairman requires 60% of the weighted vote of the State Central Committee. Unless something has drastically changed recently, I do not think there is anywhere near that sentiment among the 18 members of the Republican State Central Committee.

Having said the above, I have no problem with you raising the issue or with you publishing my home e-mail address and office phone number. I am always willing to hear from Republicans, especially from those who live in my Congressional District. It has been an honor to serve as the Republican State Central Committeeman from the 13th CD these past years.

Thank you.)

DAILY HERALD
— Naperville representative’s ‘white supremacist’ comments sparking conversation – Marie Wilson (DIERSEN: Ever-increasingly, Democrats demonize, denigrate, condemn, and promote hatred against Republicans, and especially against Republicans who are White, male, and/or older, as being White supremacists, Nazis, KKK members, haters, racists, sexists, and even worse things who should be gotten rid of. Democrats do not want “spark conversation.” They want to get rid of Republicans.)
https://www.dailyherald.com/news/20190126/naperville-representatives-white-supremacist-comments-sparking-conversation
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Stava-Murray’s comments have drawn demands for apologies from the Lisle and Naperville Township Republican Organizations, as well as calls by Naperville City Council member Kevin Coyne and others for her to be censured. “What I feel most uplifted by since I made those comments, and since the subsequent press coverage, is actually that several groups I’ve heard of have actually been discussing what racism looks like today in Naperville,” she said. “And how do we change it.” Many Naperville leaders, including Mayor Steve Chirico, who has worked to diversify membership on the city’s advisory boards and commissions, say her claims of “white supremacist policies” are far from the truth. “I don’t think it’s a fair characterization,” Chirico said. Some say the criticism of harboring white favoritism doesn’t fit a city becoming known as a hub of Indian-American business and culture. Naperville demographics show the city is 68.3 percent white, 17.9 percent Asian, 5.7 percent Hispanic, 5 percent black and 3.2 percent two or more races, according to the U.S. Census Bureau in July 2018. “If it was that kind of supremacist city,” says Krishna Bansal, chairman of Naperville Indian Community Outreach, a group formed by late Mayor George Pradel in 2013 along with a counterpart for Chinese outreach, “why would people come here?” . . . Chirico said the city follows a nationally standardized process for hiring police officers and maintains a review board specifically to discuss issues such as inherent bias before making decisions. He said he trusts the hiring process as well as police Chief Robert Marshall’s emphasis on diversifying his force. “It would be really, really hard to make a case that our recruitment process or our hiring process is somehow biased,” Chirico said. “It’s just not.” “We flatly deny and oppose any insinuation that Naperville hires police officers who are not appropriately vetted and highly qualified,” read a statement from city hall. . .Chirico said he is not concerned, saying that if it were a problem, those affected would be talking about it. Statistics provided to the Illinois Department of Transportation show white drivers were pulled over during 63 percent of the 13,342 traffic stops conducted in 2017 in Naperville, and minority drivers were involved in the remaining 37 percent of stops. Statewide, police stopped white drivers 58 percent of the time in 2017 and pulled over minority drivers in 42 percent of stops. . .Naperville City Council member Patty Gustin, who sells real estate for Charles Rutenberg Realty, said she is offended by Stava-Murray’s comments, which she says “create fake barriers and drive people away.” “I have not observed Realtors violating fair housing laws,” Gustin said. “To the contrary, we work especially hard to build a diverse community.” . . . District 203 did not immediately provide its rates of student suspension or AP class participation by race. But officials on Friday acknowledged a national trend of disproportionate disciplinary action against black students and said the trend “also holds true in Naperville 203.” To try to address the disparity, the district has implemented policies including placement in alternative schools instead of expulsion and has created a diversity advisory committee. “This is not a new issue for Naperville 203, but we are actively working to address it,” Rakeda Leaks, executive director of diversity and inclusion, said in a written statement. “We are committed to inclusive practices and supporting the educational and emotional needs of all students in the district.”)

— Pritzker vows ‘most progressive state’ on abortion — GOP sees ‘left wing’ agenda – Tina Sfondeles
https://chicago.suntimes.com/news/pritzker-progressive-abortion-roe-v-wade-hb40-gop-left-wing/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The move prompted one Republican legislator to accuse Pritzker of running a “highly-politicized and left wing administration.” . . . Rauner’s decision to sign the bill angered the state’s conservatives and spawned a primary challenger in former state Rep. Jeanne Ives, who lost by just 4 percentage points. . .State Rep. David McSweeney, R-Barrington Hills, has always opposed HB40. McSweeney said Pritzker has “rubbed HB40 in the face of conservatives by saying he’s actually going to expand it even more.” “My concern is he claims he wants to be bipartisan but he takes on highly inflammatory issues like taxpayer funding of abortions and expansion … and also the implied threat to opposition of the progressive tax,” McSweeney said. “I don’t see much bipartisanship. It looks like a highly politicized and left-wing administration to me.”)

HUFFINGTON POST
— Passenger Confronts GOP Congressman Rodney Davis Over Flying First Class During Shutdown “Do you think it’s appropriate?” he asked the lawmaker. “Taking that as a yes.” – Akbar Shahid Ahmed
https://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/rodney-davis-flying-first-class-ggovernment-shutdown_us_5c477fe1e4b083c46d634be8
(FROM THE ARTICLE: With President Donald Trump and the GOP prolonging the partial government shutdown, a Republican lawmaker had an uncomfortable run-in Tuesday when a fellow airplane passenger found him flying first class from Chicago to Washington, D.C., according to a video of the encounter shared with HuffPost. “Congressman, do you think it’s appropriate to fly first class while 57 TSA agents aren’t being paid?” the person says to Rep. Rodney Davis (R-Ill.), in an apparent reference to the Transportation Security Administration’s 57,000 employees, who are being required to work without pay. A tipster who asked to remain anonymous shared the video with HuffPost, which hasn’t been able to identify the person who approached Davis. Davis remained silent, prompting the person to say, “Taking that as a yes.” “Taxpayers paid for this flight? Fair enough,” he added. Members of Congress can have the government pay for regular flights to and from their home jurisdictions, as maintaining constituency contact is part of their job. Unlike the paychecks of TSA workers, as well as those of hundreds of thousands of other federal government workers affected by the shutdown, those paid flights do not go away during a government shutdown. Davis did not use his taxpayer-provided budget to purchase a first-class ticket and has never done so, his spokeswoman Ashley Phelps told HuffPost in an email. His office bought a regular coach ticket, but he was upgraded automatically because of his frequent flyer status, she added. “There was no additional cost to taxpayers.” Accepting the upgrade is not a violation of anti-corruption rules because it’s something available to any person who accrues a certain number of miles and wasn’t offered exclusively to Davis because of his position as an elected representative, an ethics officer in the House, who asked to speak on background since the episode is not under any official investigation, told HuffPost. All the same, for someone with power over people’s paychecks to enjoy a luxe experience amid mass economic disruption makes for a jarring sight. A photograph of Davis in the first class section of the plane made it into Politico’s Playbook PM newsletter on Tuesday. Most of the GOP has stood with President Donald Trump during the shutdown, arguing that he’s right to reject deals to reopen the government until he gets the funding he wants for his promised wall on the border with Mexico. Davis has frequently supported the party on the issue, according to the Chicago Sun-Times, and praised Trump’s approach. But the congressman recently sided with Democrats on bills to reopen some agencies ― a nod, perhaps, to his political vulnerability, given his tight re-election in the 2018 midterms.)

CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— State Rep. Stava-Murray stands by comment that Naperville has ‘white supremacist policies’ – Erin Hegarty (DIERSEN: Politics is nasty. I should write a book about those in Wheaton and in Glen Ellyn who hint/imply/argue/shout that my hometown Crete was full of German Lutherans who were White supremacists, Nazis, KKK members, haters, racists, sexists, and bigots while I lived there 1948-1972. Better yet, I should sue them.)
https://www.chicagotribune.com/suburbs/naperville-sun/news/ct-nvs-stava-murray-white-supremacist-claims-st-0120-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: City officials reacted strongly to Stava-Murray’s claims about Naperville’s policies. “I don’t think that the city can be fairly characterized in that way. In fact, it’s very much the opposite,” Naperville Mayor Steve Chirico said. “It’s a very loving city and a very welcoming city.” Naperville City Councilman Kevin Coyne said the community celebrates diversity and welcomes people of all ethnicities. “Rep. Stava-Murray’s comments were reckless and unfounded,” Coyne said. “She should apologize to her constituents in Naperville who she has embarrassed with these disparaging and patently false comments.” Stava-Murray said Friday she is glad her comment, which was posted about two weeks ago, is getting attention. “I think this is a very necessary conversation people need to be having in Naperville and the Chicago area because we are still so segregated,” she said. “There are many schools in Naperville that have almost no black students in them and many schools where there is not a single black teacher teaching.” She also said Naperville makes no effort to educate residents on the city’s history as it relates race disparities and the city’s lack of a race-based bullying policy is “one of the areas where a lack of policy is a white supremacist policy.” Her preference for Oak Park is based on the fact that “they actually have a history of actively working to desegregate their area,” she said. “This reaction of caring more about appearance than reducing the negative impact on white active denial of white supremacy, that’s what made me want to move to Oak Park in the first place,” she said. Chirico said that while he understands some opinions can be based on experiences, he doesn’t see how a blanket statement regarding white supremacy could be applied to Naperville. “I certainly don’t think there’s any government policy that could even be interpreted that way,” Chirico said.)

NEW YORK TIMES
— U.N.C. Admissions Lawsuit Brings Another Attack on Affirmative Action – Anemona Hartocollis (DIERSEN: How bad are your demographics? UIC admitted me in 1966, NIU in 1969, Loyola in 1972, DePaul in 1976, and IIT in 1992, but I doubt that they would admit me today. My demographics are terrible in their eyes. I am a Trump supporter, Protestant (Baptized, raised, and confirmed as a Missouri Synod Lutheran), conservative, patriotic, Republican, American, White, male, old (born in 1948), non-poor, gun owner, draft avoider, 100% German American, my ancestors have been in America since 1844, etc.)
https://www.nytimes.com/2019/01/18/us/unc-affirmative-action-lawsuit.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill weighs race so heavily in its admissions process that it is the predominant factor in determining whether many black and Hispanic students get in, according to court papers filed on Friday by an anti-affirmative action group that is also suing Harvard. The group, Students for Fair Admissions, says the university is excluding white and Asian applicants in favor of less qualified black and Hispanic students. The plaintiffs accuse U.N.C., a public flagship university, of using race “at every stage” of the admissions process, in violation of the law, “even when the application gives no indication that race affected the student’s life in any way.”)

— Stop Hiring: Self-Selection Is Better – Diane Bogino (DIERSEN: Potential federal employees who are Republican, White, male, and/or non-veteran should be advised a) that they will be gotten rid of if they do not make 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 and b) that extremely few federal employees make the aforesaid promotion deadlines.)
https://www.forbes.com/sites/forbescoachescouncil/2019/01/15/stop-hiring-self-selection-is-better/#a78b4a94a5e6
(FROM THE ARTICLE: “Self-selection” is a relatively new phrase on the hiring scene. According to Personnel Today, “Self-selection is the process where a job seeker is given information about the negative aspects of a vacancy and employer as well as the good points, to better enable them to make an informed decision about whether to apply for a job.” Its transparency gives candidates the option upfront to withdraw themselves from being considered for a position, for whatever reason. However, self-selection has a longer history than one might imagine; and like every story, self-selection has two sides. The dark side of self-selection was in full bloom just a few decades ago. I’ve been on the planet long enough to remember help wanted ads that simply advised people of different races, nationalities or genders not to apply. None of those criteria determine anyone’s ability, talents, or attributes. Let’s not go back to the old days of discrimination — that’s never a good goal for your business, brand or candidates.)

While I worked for GAO 1980-1997, the last 11 years of which at GS-13 Step 1-10 levels, currently $96,403-$125,325, I increasingly worked as a referencer, that is, as a fact checker. That work required assuring the accuracy and support for each and every word, number, table, graph, chart, conclusion, opinion, and recommendation in GAO reports. I worked for IRS 1971-1980, the last 5 1/2 years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 levels, currently $81,071-$91,880. My other fact checking qualifications include my becoming a Forensic Accountant in 1997, a Certified Fraud Examiner in 1990, a licensed CPA in 1981, a Certified Internal Auditor in 1981, and a CPA in 1979.)

SOUTHERN
— Rep. Bost’s office confirms Trump visit to (Murphysboro) October 27 – ISAAC SMITH (DIERSEN: How would the religious, government, political, and financial leaders in your municipality, in your township/ward, and in your county react if Trump came to your municipality, to your township/ward, or to your county?)
https://thesouthern.com/news/local/govt-and-politics/rep-bost-s-office-confirms-trump-visit-to-carbondale/article_01a5645f-e92a-5e71-8e47-3e5d007a1f3e.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: This sparked outcry from some on City Council. Councilman Adam Loos drafted a four-page resolution declaring Trump unwelcome. However, he later rescinded his request to have it placed on Tuesday’s City Council agenda because some council members withdrew support for the resolution. It wouldn’t have mattered, because after deep consideration and notification that there would be considerable civil disobedience from people supporting and opposing the president’s visit, Mayor Mike Henry canceled Tuesday’s council meeting, electing to reschedule it after Trump’s visit. Henry said there was not a threat of violence, but those from the community action group The Flyover Social Center disagreed. The group, which is vocally opposed to Trump’s visit and politics, on Saturday received a business card for white supremacist group Patriot Front. They took this as a subtle threat of violence against their group.)

SALON
— With members getting Trump-averse, the federal workers union targets midterms Defending what Newt Gingrich blasted as “the job for life,” federal civil servants join the battle for the midterms – BOB HENNELLY (DIERSEN: If Gingrich had not decimated GAO during the 1990s, I might still be a GAO employee.)
https://www.salon.com/2018/10/21/with-members-getting-trump-averse-the-federal-workers-union-targets-midterms/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Among those with the most at stake in the Congressional midterm elections are the rank and file of the unions that represent the Federal Government’s two-million-member workforce. Since President Trump took office 21 months ago, they have been the target of him and allies like former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, who served on his transition team. Mr. Gingrich urged the President to wage a “straight-out war” aimed at ending what he called “the job for life” with the Federal civil service. Mr. Trump has canceled a Federal pay raise, proposed budgets to cut workers’ health and retirement benefits and issued executive orders to eliminate employee protections that evolved over decades of collective bargaining.)
