DAILY HERALD
— DuPage video gambling discussion set for Tuesday – Robert Sanchez  (DIERSEN:  OUTRAGEOUS: GAMBLING IS A VICE: DuPage County Finance Committee will revisit the county’s ban on video gaming in unincorporated areas. Please join Kathy Gilroy, me, and others who will speak at the DuPage County Finance Committee meeting Tuesday, June 13, 2017, at 7:30 AM, in favor of keeping the ban on video gambling in unincorporated DuPage County.  Based on the minutes of the May 23, 2017 DuPage County Board meeting, a motion will be made at this meeting to refer the matter to another committee. If you are in DuPage County, please urge DuPage County Board Chairman Dan Cronin, the 18 DuPage County Board members, and especially, the 3 board members who represent your district, to vote to keep the ban. Needless-to-say, before any vote is taken to lift the ban, public hearings should be held in each of the county’s six districts. In 2009, the Milton Township Republican Central Committee (MTRCC) unanimously passed a resolution against video gambling throughout DuPage County. Since then, no MTRCC member has done anything to rescind that resolution.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Tuesday’s discussion is scheduled for a 7:30 a.m. finance committee meeting at the DuPage County administration building, 421 N. County Farm Road in Wheaton. Depending on how the meeting goes, the panel could vote that morning to make a recommendation to the full county board. “It’s important that we make a decision either way,” Fichtner said. “There needs to be an understanding of how much we either support or don’t support the current ban.” . . . Kathy Gilroy, an anti-gambling advocate from Villa Park, said lifting the ban would harm residents without providing a significant benefit to the county. . . “It provides income for the owner of the machine and the location,” Gilroy said. “It’s not a big help to the county.”  Gilroy plans to attend Tuesday’s meeting to speak to the county board members. “I’m not surprised that they’re discussing it again,” she said. “I’ll be surprised if they overturn their ban.”  If the finance committee recommends repealing the ban, the full county board would take a final vote on a later date.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: The word “leak” has no official legal definition. But the term usually refers to the act of providing confidential information to the public in a surreptitious way and without official authorization. That is a neutral description, but Mr. Trump on Friday used the term in a way that was clearly intended to carry pejorative connotations: “He’s a leaker,” Mr. Trump said of Mr. Comey at a news conference.)

Many, if not most, if not virtually all for my Democrat GAO superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates hinted/implied/argued/shouted that I should have been forced to suffer a $57,808 (64%) pay cut in today’s dollars, that is, a downgrade from GS-12 Step 5, currently $90,173, to GS-4 Step 1, currently $32,365.  They demonized, denigrated, and condemned  a)  my IRS work experience and that much of it was similar to what GAO employees do, b) my having passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, c)  my almost completing the requirements for a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul, d) my having earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976, e) etc.  They never would have done that if I had been a Democrat, a minority, a female, or a veteran.)

ILLINOIS FAMILY ACTION
— The Need for a Middle America News Network – Bruce Walker (DIERSEN: What do you say to Democrat plants, to Libertarian plants, to Green plants, and to RINOs in Illinois, in DuPage County, in Milton Township, in Glen Ellyn, and in Wheaton who focus on discouraging everyone from reading GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails?)
https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2017/06/the-need-for-a-middle-america-news-network/
(DIERSEN: The decline and lurch to the left of the Fox News Network provides an opening for any astute conservative billionaire: create a news network specifically intended to provide news from the viewpoint of most of America, which is to say the seventy-five percent of Americans who live in Flyover Country.  While the geographic concentration of political power in America is appalling, the geographic concentration of media power is much worse. Because the media defy elections and, in fact, determine elections, having almost all national news pass through the tiny channel of the New York-to-Washington Beltway is toxic to our national life. This is not an ideological monopoly, but rather a geographical monopoly.  But because the environment between Washington and New York is so utterly artificial and so completely leftist, what has happened to Fox News – a constant drift to the left – is an unrelenting and corrosive force that isolates the media and the government of America from the overwhelming majority who live in Middle America. Consider a neutral and fair political site like RealClearPolitics.  It is not uncommon to have one third of the stories from New York media outlets and one third of the stories from Washington media outlets and the rest from national outlets without a particular geographical designation but situated in the Beltway.  On those rare instances in which another city’s media has stories in RealClearPolitics, the city is usually Boston or Los Angeles. What that means is that the vast majority of Americans are utterly disenfranchised politically in the only area that really counts in a nation as large and media-driven as America.  What this also means is that as Fox News declines into irrelevance, as it will, there is a gaping hole for those with the money, the guts, and the vision to create a television network specifically focused on Middle America. This network should include a news network located in the center of America and dedicated to presenting stories that inform Americans what is happening in this majority of our nation.  There is vast ignorance within the Beltway media about how the energy industry works or how wheat and cotton are grown and cattle raised and ores mined. While Fox News periodically had stories presented from its Beltway offices about the plight of the timber industry in Washington State or the small oil producers in Oklahoma, stories from the Middle America News Network would be produced by those who actually live in these areas and presented to Americans by newscasters whose home is in Omaha or Knoxville or Salt Lake City or Little Rock.  This new network would also have a much easier time breaking into the cable news lineup than Fox News did because it would overtly be representing the perspective of local listeners in cities around the nation. Fox News rightly picked the target audience to make it grow: those millions of Americans disgusted by the ideological monopoly of the leftist establishment media.  The Middle America News Network would represent not just the ideologically disempowered, but the culturally disempowered, who find their beliefs and lives treated as weird curiosities.  The market share for this news network could skyrocket fast, particularly among the tens of millions of Americans who simply never watch network news any longer. This new network could also introduce a whole new way of interviewing members of Congress.  Instead of having these members show up at a studio in Washington or New York, the network could invite them to be interviewed for national television in their home states.  Those who decline an interview might find their likely rivals in the next election interviewed instead with the tag “The Middle America News Network invited Senator Mugwump to discuss the impact of environmental regulations on business here, but he was too busy in Washington to come here for the interview.” The idea would be to shift always, always, always the focus of attention and interest away from that micron of America that is the Beltway and back to the huge expanse from Alaska to Minnesota to Florida to Arizona that is America.  The idea would also be to force both political parties, which is to say Washington Party A and Washington Party B, to actually notice forty or so states that may be called “Flyover Country” if they wish their political parties to have a chance at gaining or holding power. This network could transform politics in America by forcing the parties to turn from Washington (“The Swamp”) and back to the American people spread all across this land.)

— A look at where some of those protesting, commune-living ‘hippies’ are today – Jean Murphy  (DIERSEN: What were you doing in 1967?  I was a full-time student at UIC and a part-time mailman for the Park Forest Post Office. I lived with my parents and brother in Crete. I sold my 1966 Pontiac Tempest Sprint and bought a 1968 Oldsmobile 442. I saved money for college expenses.)
http://www.dailyherald.com/entlife/20170603/a-look-at-where-some-of-those-protesting-commune-living-hippies-are-today
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Nostalgia reigns supreme this summer as we approach a series of 50th anniversaries of pivotal moments in our history. This summer San Francisco is commemorating the Summer of Love when the hippies arrived in the Haight-Ashbury neighborhood in 1967. Closer to home the latest version of the Grateful Dead, known as Dead & Company, has concerts scheduled at Wrigley Field on June 30 and July 1, and Navy Pier is hosting “Exhibitionism,” an exhibit of Rolling Stones memorabilia, through July 30. Next year and the years that follow will surely generate remembrances of such major events as the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King, Chicago’s 1968 Democratic National Convention, Woodstock and the shootings at Kent State, to name a few. So what has happened to all of the people who were activists and hippies in those days? How have they lived their lives since those tumultuous years?)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Two local state senators — Sue Rezin, R-Morris, and Jason Barickman, R-Bloomington — voted against the measure. But in the House, state Reps. Jerry Long, R-Streator, David Welter, R-Morris, and Tom Demmer, R-Dixon, supported the legislation. Only five other Senators joined Barickman and Rezin in voting no — Republicans Chapin Rose, Neil Anderson, Michael Connelly, Dale Fowler and Chris Nybo also opposed. HB 607 cleared the Senate 43-7-1, and the House vote was 75-34-3, so it’s fair to say there was bipartisan support. But still, as our readership area is represented almost entirely by Republicans, it’s interesting to note when the votes diverge.)

FEDERAL NEWS RADIO
— One-term Trump? – Mike Causey
https://federalnewsradio.com/mike-causey-federal-report/2017/05/one-term-trump/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: If President Donald Trump wants to: 1) Avoid any possible impeachment action, or 2) Help Republicans retain control of the House and Senate in 2018, or 3) Score another electoral vote win in 2020, then, He might want to back off his plan to put millions of current and future federal retirees on a zero-calorie COLA (as in cost-of-living-adjustment) diet for life. Why? Because federal retirees and their families are a major factor — both in finances and voting — in most states and many communities.)

WAND
— TREASONOUS: Illinois House approves TRUST act for immigrants – AP
http://www.wandtv.com/story/35540458/the-latest-illinois-house-approves-trust-act-for-immigrants
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The Illinois House has approved a plan that prevents what advocates say is harassment of undocumented immigrants. The so-called TRUST Act was approved 62-49 Monday. It requires a criminal warrant before federal authorities pursue undocumented immigrants. But Rep. Emanuel “Chris” Welch softened the legislation with input from local police organizations. The Hillside Democrat says police were concerned with earlier legislation which forbid them from participating with federal authorities unless there was a criminal warrant. But it still prohibits local jails from holding people on immigration detainers so that federal officials may pick them up for possible deportation. Republicans complained immigration is a federal issue. Proponents argue it’s not a crime to be in the country illegally and many work and pay taxes. The measure must return to the Senate. The bill is SB31.)

— Protest sparks Texas lawmaker threats of gun violence – AP (DIERSEN: When will Rauner outlaw sanctuary cities in Illinois?)
http://www.wsiltv.com/story/35539070/opponents-of-texas-immigration-disrupt-legislative-session
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Hundreds of protesters opposing Texas’ tough new anti-“sanctuary cities” law launched a raucous demonstration from the public gallery in the Texas House on Monday, briefly halting work and prompting lawmakers on the floor below to scuffle – and even threaten gun violence – as tense divides over hardline immigration policies boiled over. Activists wearing red T-shirts reading “Lucha,” or “Fight,” quietly filled hundreds of gallery seats as proceedings began. After about 40 minutes, they began to cheer, drowning out the lawmakers below. Protesters also blew whistles and chanted: “Here to stay!” and “Hey, hey, ho, ho, SB4 has got to go,” referring to the bill that Gov. Greg Abbott signed into law this month. Some unfurled banners reading: “See you in court!” and “See you at the polls!” State House leadership stopped the session and asked state troopers to clear the gallery. The demonstration continued for about 20 minutes as officers led people out of the chamber peacefully in small groups. There were no reports of arrests. Texas’ new law is reminiscent of a 2010 Arizona “show your papers” measure that allowed police to inquire about a person’s immigration status during routine interactions such as traffic stops. It was eventually struck down in court.)
