During the 1840s and 1850s, all my ancestors immigrated to northeast Illinois from what is now Germany. Of course, needless-to-say, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have always used that against me. In my defense, I stress that my grandfather on my father’s side fought the Germans during WWI, that my uncles on my mother’s side fought the Germans during WWII, and that my father would have fought the Germans during WWII if he had not been 4-F. Further, according to http://dna.ancestry.com, my ancestry is 33% Europe West, 28% Scandinavia, 24% Great Britain, 11% Ireland, 2% Europe East, 1% Finland/Northwest Russia, and 1% Italy/Greece.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Associated Press reporters asked the FBI and Justice Department for a meeting in April 2017, hoping to find out whether their reporting on President Trump’s former campaign chairman was on the right track. But it was the AP reporters who would shape the FBI’s investigation, an agent would later testify, when they disclosed the existence of a storage locker used by Paul Manafort. Roughly a month after the meeting, the FBI obtained a search warrant for the locker, seizing 30 years’ worth of financial documents that would become the backbone of the government’s current prosecution of Mr. Manafort in two different courtrooms.)

INDEPENDENT JOURNAL REVIEW
— Number of Employed Americans Reaches Another Record High Under Trump – SAM DORMAN (DIERSEN: Are you employed? I have not been employed since September 30, 1997 when I was 49 years old. Of course, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes stress that. They stress that my GAO superiors forced me to retire in 1997 when I was 49 years old, gave me unfair performance expectations and appraisals, always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes, did not promote me beyond GS-13, got rid of my mentor in 1987, kept me off audits of IRS for all but 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for GAO, and forced me to take an $19,203 pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980. They stress that my IRS superiors did not promote me beyond GS-12, disallowed my education deductions in 1978, got rid of my mentor in 1975, and disallowed my partial day per diem claims in 1974. They stress that my Post Office superiors forced me resign in 1969 and disallowed my sick leave requests in 1969 and 1968.)

July 4 Evening Edition

GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— OUTSTANDINGLY, 19 REPUBLICANS HELPED SPONSOR WHEATON’S INDEPENDENCE DAY FIREWORKS AND PARADE! Illinois Republican Party leader and Bolingbrook Mayor Roger Claar contributed $500, Judge Jeff MacKay contributed $250, and DuPage County Forest Preserve Commissioner Tim Whelan contributed $150. Bob Berlin, Dan Cronin, Tim Elliott, Amy Grant, Gwen Henry, Paul Hinds, Marty Keller, Deanne Mazzochi, Dave Molitor, John Monino, Chris Nybo, Peter Roskam, Darlene Ruscitti, Phil Suess, Kevin Wiley, and Karen Wilson each contributed $100.

As the $2,500 Star sponsor, DuPage County Republicans got credit for sponsoring the Tunes of Glory bagpipers and the Wheaton North and South High School band entries in the parade. DuPage Republicans again had a booth at the fireworks the evening before the parade. Those who stopped by included Governor Rauner and the First Lady, Erika Harold, Amy Grant, and Marty Keller. Earlier, I had the honor of hand delivering flyers to residences on the parade route, including Main Street and two blocks east and west of Main Street south of Harrison Street, and businesses that listed the Republican entries in the parade, the Republican sponsors, and the amount that they contributed. The flyers were printed courtesy of Alpha Graphics.

Republican elected officials and candidates in the parade included Peter Roskam, Evelyn Sanguinetti, Erika Harold, Mike Connelly, Peter Breen, Jeanne Ives, Amy Grant, Paul Hinds, James Mendrick, Grant Eckhoff, Tim Elliott, Chris Zaruba, Tim Whelan, Jeff McKay, Karen Wilson, Gary Muehlfelt, Sal Falbo, John Monino, Nick Nathwani, as well as Marty Keller and the Milton Township Republican Central Committee. – Dave Diersen

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Like marching bands and beauty queens, a Fourth of July parade is never without politics. Governor Bruce Rauner was in Arlington Heights shaking hands with what appeared to be a Rauner-receptive crowd. “We are the greatest nation on earth because of our heroes, our veterans we celebrate our history tradition of freedom and opportunity,” said Gov. Bruce Rauner. Celebrating freedom and opportunity with a democratic friendly crowd was Rauner’s challenger JB Pritzker. The annual Hyde Park parade was one of four stops on his schedule Wednesday.)

My Democrat Post Office and IRS superiors were extremely anti-union. When they took adverse actions against me, the unions came to my defense. But possibly, they would not have taken adverse actions against me if I had not been a union member. I believe that they would have taken adverse actions against me anyway because they disapproved of my being a draft avoider, Republican, German American, and/or Missouri Synod Lutheran. They always hinted/implied/argued/shouted that if I had not avoided the draft, I would not have been able a) to buy a new 1968 Oldsmobile 442 in 1967, b) to buy a new 1969 Dodge Charger SE in 1968, c) to earn a bachelor’s degree in management from NIU in 1970, d) to buy a new 1972 Corvette in 1971, e) to buy a new town home in University Park in 1972, f) to buy a studio condo in the Outer Drive East (ODE) building in 1974, g) to earn an MBA from Loyola in 1976, h) to buy a one bedroom condo in the ODE building in 1976, i) to get married in 1978, j) to buy 1017 East Harrison in Wheaton with my wife in 1978, k) to buy a new 1978 Oldsmobile Delta 88 Royale and a new 1978 Chevette in 1978, l) to accompany my wife on her business trips to luxury resorts across America, m) to pass the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, n) to earn a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980, o) to etc.)

I stored the car in my mother’s garage in Crete 1971-1984 and then at 915 Cove Court in Wheaton since 1984. It has only 5,081 miles on it. I have not started it since November 4, 2009. I plan on getting it back up and running for its 50th model year anniversary in 2022. My owning a Corvette since 1971 is a direct result of my 1969 Dodge Charge SE being stolen while I worked for IRS in its Loop office in 1971.)

http://www.windycitymediagroup.com/lgbt/Auroras-1st-Pride-Parade-draws-thousands-/63230.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Aurora Mayor Richard C. Irvin walked the parade route and greeted parade-goers. Gov. Bruce Rauner marched, as did representatives from Democratic gubernatorial candidate J.B. Pritzker’s campaign. Democratic U.S. Rep. Bill Foster marched alongside Democratic congressional candidates Sean Casten (running in the 6th District) and Lauren Underwood (running in the 14th) as well as other elected officials and candidates. “Today is a great day in the city of Aurora,” said Irvin. “There is so much energy and excitement. This parade truly represents what Aurora is by including everyone.” “I am delighted to be here,” said Casten. “I think this will be the most fun parade this year. I just wish I did not have to wear long pants.” “I am so excited to be here,” said Underwood. “How could we not participate in this inaugural parade. We got all of our friends in the community to walk with us, to show we are inclusive, welcoming and celebrating love. It is hot out here but our hearts are warm.”)

QUAD CITIES ONLINE
— Rauner trails Pritzker in latest poll – SARAH HAYDEN (DIERSEN: What has Rauner done so far to encourage those who voted for Trump and/or for Ives to help reelect him on November 6, 2018? For example, has he offered to sign a pledge that he will not take any action against Illinois Republican Party (IRP) platform? For example, has he offered to attend a summit meeting with those who endorsed Trump, those who endorsed Ives, and the conservative leaders in Illinois? What does Rauner say to those who increasingly conclude that he does NOT want those who voted for Trump and/or for Ives to help reelect him on November 6, 2018? Increasingly, it looks like Rauner is running against those who support Trump and against those who support the traditional family, right to life, immigration, and other planks in the IRP platform, that is, it increasing looks like he is running as an anti-conservative, that is, it increasing looks like he is running as anti-Republican.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Gov. Bruce Rauner is trailing Democratic gubernatorial rival J.B. Pritzker by at least 15 points, according to the May edition of The Illinois Poll. The telephone survey contacted 1,208 voters May 22-24. While Rauner holds narrow leads in northern and central Illinois, he has surged in the southern part of the state, with a 46-to-30 percent lead over Pritzker. Predictably, Pritzker is leading Rauner 76 to 11 percent in Democratic Chicago and suburban Cook County. The poll also asked residents whether they believe Rauner deserves to be re-elected to a second term in office. Thirty four percent of respondents said yes, while 53 percent said no.)

In places like New York, taxpayers will not only be able to claim the same break as before Republicans imposed a new $10,000 cap on the deduction, but they will also be able to sidestep longstanding federal rules on exactly when the deduction may be taken.)

— Too much news? Not for everyone – Jennifer Rubin (DIERSEN: Should I write a book about my critics/opponents who focus on discouraging everyone from reading GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails? They want you read only what they publish or they bless. More than just being overjoyed about, they played major roles in ending my TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois chairmanship, Wheaton Chamber of Commerce Government Affairs Committee membership, Milton Township Republican Central Committee webmaster service, Illinois Center Right Coalition Steering Committee membership, and American Association of Political Consultants Midwest Chapter board membership.)
https://www.theday.com/article/20180610/OP04/180619985
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The Pew Research Center is out with a fascinating poll on “news fatigue.” The poll finds: “Almost seven-in-ten Americans (68%) feel worn out by the amount of news there is these days, compared with only three-in-ten who say they like the amount of news they get,” according to the report. “The portion expressing feelings of information overload is in line with how Americans felt during the 2016 presidential election, when a majority expressed feelings of exhaustion from election coverage.” On one hand, this is understandable given the constant drumbeat of scandal and outrage. On the other hand, no one forces Americans to watch or read the news. It is a choice whether to consume it or not, and judging from those stunning poll results (e.g. only 43 percent polled last year could name a single Supreme Court justice), many people do a fine job of being uninformed. Nevertheless, to the degree one attempts to be a diligent citizen, it seems to many that they are drinking out of the proverbial firehose. Looking a little closer, we see an interesting phenomenon. Distaste for President Donald Trump — and perhaps glee at his failures — makes Democrats more eager to ingest as much news as they can. “While majorities of both Republicans and Democrats express news fatigue, Republicans are feeling it more,” according the Pew’s findings. “Roughly three-quarters (77%) of Republicans and Republican-leaning independents feel worn out over how much news there is, compared with about six-in-ten Democrats and Democratic-leaning independents (61%). This elevated fatigue among Republicans tracks with them having less enthusiasm than Democrats for the 2018 elections. The lack of interest in the news and in the election suggests that an outsize segment of Republicans don’t want to hear that much about, or take stock of, the president and Congress they elected. Yes, we can sympathize that it is stressful to see someone you were warned not to vote for display just about every rotten trait you chose to overlook during the campaign (e.g. dishonesty, vulgarity, racism). Ironically, the less-informed people feel the most overwhelmed, even if they don’t actually consume a whole lot of news. (“While a majority of those who follow the news most of the time (62%) are feeling worn out by the news, a substantially higher portion (78%) of those who less frequently get news say they are fatigued by the amount of it that they see.”) There may be a strong segment of the electorate that is trying to hide from the news — but just can’t. The demographic groups that most strongly supported Trump are now the most exhausted by the news. “Some demographic groups — most notably white Americans — are more likely than others to feel exhausted by the news,” the poll finds. “Nearly three-quarters (73%) of white Americans express fatigue with the amount of news, much higher than among both Hispanic (55%) and black Americans (55%). Women are also somewhat more likely than men to feel worn out (71% vs. 64%, respectively).” There is some good news in this for the anti-Trump forces. It seems they are more energized (perhaps by a sense of vindication or by a desire to stop the Trump madness) than Republicans, who, gosh, just don’t seem to want to be reminded of what and whom they voted for. They are not “tired of winning.”)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: The Indiana Republican Party, by an overwhelming margin, reaffirmed Saturday its commitment to marriage “between a man and a woman” as the preferred structure for Hoosier families. In so doing, the 1,494 GOP delegates attending the party’s biennial state convention turned aside a revised “strong families” platform plank, proposed by Gov. Eric Holcomb’s party leadership, that expressed support for all adults raising children, in favor of renewing explicit support for opposite-sex marriage that first was inserted in the platform in 2014 by marriage equality opponents. The platform debate was the sole controversy at the half-day convention that also saw Secretary of State Connie Lawson, State Auditor Tera Klutz and State Treasurer Kelly Mitchell nominated as the party’s candidates for the November elections. Most delegates applauded and cheered following the voice vote that preserved the Gov. Mike Pence-era endorsement of what backers describe as “traditional” marriage.)

Of course, since 1966, my critics/opponents have always hinted/implied/argued/shouted that my Democrat superiors in the federal government took adverse actions against me because I am a “poor-performing employee.” In my defense, I earned a) a job-related bachelor’s degree when I was 21 in 1970 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.)

http://www.chicagotribune.com/suburbs/lake-county-news-sun/opinion/talk/ct-lns-talk-of-the-county-st-0529-story.html
(FROM THE LETTER: A question for the person who keeps referring to President Trump as “Donny Bone Spurs”: Tell us, please, about your military service. Did you even serve? Tell us about Barack Obama’s. Tell us about Bill Clinton’s. Like millions of young men during the Vietnam War, President Trump sought and obtained legitimate deferments. I myself had several before I was finally drafted. Some of us even fled to Canada. You liberals applauded those guys, but now you criticize the president. I’m appalled that the News-Sun publishes your idiotic epithet for our president. They certainly would never have printed such a phony, derogatory comment about President Obama.)
