NATIONAL INTEREST
— Democrats Will Use Coronavirus To Get What They Wanted All Along Pelosi has even admitted it. – Matt Weidinger (DIERSEN: Democrats are moral relativists who believe that their end justifies their means.)
https://nationalinterest.org/blog/buzz/democrats-will-use-coronavirus-get-what-they-wanted-all-along-132672
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Rahm Emanuel, then chief of staff to President-elect Obama, famously said in late 2008 “You never want a serious crisis to go to waste. And what I mean by that

[is]

it’s an opportunity to do things that you think you could not do before.” Dubbed “Rahm’s rule,” the same principle may be informing some policy responses to the coronavirus. Indeed, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer are packaging significant chunks of their longstanding legislative agenda under the guise of responding to the coronavirus: “In light of reports that the Trump administration is considering new tax cuts for major corporations impacted by the coronavirus, we are demanding that the administration prioritize the health and safety of American workers and their families over corporate interests.”)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: From: Liz Uihlein. . .Subject: The Media is Overblowing COVID-19 Dear Members of the Illinois Legislature: There were 1,701 cases in the U.S. of which there were 41 deaths; whereas an overwhelming number of people have been infected with and died from the flu this season. While you may think the government enforced closing of events, schools, etc. is helping prevent the spread of this infection, you are impacting local, state and national economies and adding unnecessary panic and fear in the American people. What happens in 2 weeks? Are you willing to indefinitely close institutions? At what point do we go back to our normal lives? This has been a huge disruption. Sincerely, Liz Uihlein, President, Uline)

CAPITOL FAX
— DuPage GOP election judge shortage almost doubles in a week
https://capitolfax.com/2020/03/09/dupage-gop-election-judge-shortage-almost-doubles-in-a-week/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Will County early voting sites and Election Day polling places are being stocked with hand sanitizer and disinfectant wipes to protect election judges and voters as the number of reported coronavirus cases in the state continues to increase. […] DuPage County continues to face a critical shortage of Republican election judges. Last week officials said they were short 160 Republican election judges; that number has since grown to 300, said Adam Johnson, chief deputy county clerk. “We have lost additional judges,” Johnson said. Will County claims they aren’t having the same problems, but this is definitely something to watch as election day nears. Election judges are often retirees. And older people are in more danger if they catch this virus. I have never voted by mail, but this could be the first time for me. It’s not that I’m frightened to go out or anything, but it will take some stress off the system if more people vote absentee.)

Never be afraid to ask questions – Virginia Backaitis (DIERSEN: While I was a federal employee for almost 30 years, I was extremely reluctant to seek or take career advice from my Democrat superiors because I knew that they were under tremendous pressure from Democrat politicians to get rid of federal employees who shared my demographics. None of my Democrat superiors in the federal government ever advised me to earn job-related college degrees, job-related professional certifications, or job related professional licenses. Nevertheless, I earned a) a job-related bachelor’s degree when I was 21 and job-related master’s degrees when I was 27, 31, and 48, b) job-related professional certifications when I was 30, 32, 41, 45, 47, and 48, and c) a job-related professional license when I was 32.)
