— YouTube shooter identified as user Nasim Aghdam
http://abc7chicago.com/sources-youtube-shooter-identified-as-user-nasim-aghdam/3298743/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: According to her website, a possible motivation for the shooting could have been tied to her many YouTube accounts, which she says have seen a decline in viewership over the past few months. She embedded videos from the biggest YouTubers on the platform on the site, including massive creator Casey Neistat. In them, they talk about the YouTube “Ad-apocalypse” where many users are seeing massive dips in traffic, subscriber count loss, and de-monetization of videos. Neistat has more than 9,000,000 subscribers and made a famous video about the YouTube ad revenue scare for creators. It appears that Aghdam was disgruntled by the changes in the YouTube platform. She wrote on her website, “Be aware! Dictatorship exists in all countries but with different tactics! They only care for personal and short-term profits and do anything to reach their goals even by fooling simple-minded people, hiding the truth, manipulating science and everything, putting public mental and physical health at risk, abusing non-human animals, polluting the environment, destroying family values, promoting materialism and sexual degeneration in the name of freedom and turning people into programmed robots!” She goes on to quote Adolf Hitler saying, “Make the lie big, make it simple, keep saying it and eventually they will believe it.” The rest of her message targets YouTube and censorship. “There is no free speech in the real world and you will be suppressed for telling the truth that is not supported by the system. Videos of targeted users are filtered and merely relegated so that people can hardly see their videos.” Aghdam’s website shows screenshots of her “reduced” and “supressed” videos. She referred to a specific video that appeared to be an instructional video for a workout saying, “This video got age-restricted after new, close-minded YouTube employees got control of my farsi YouTube channel last year, 2016, and began filtering my videos to reduce views and suppress and discourage me from making my videos!” Feb. 20, YouTube enacted a new advertising policy that demonetized channels with less than 1,000 subscribers and 4,000 hours of watch time. Though Aghdam’s main English channel had more than 5,000 subscribers, many of her videos appeared to be demonetized.)

The chairman of your Republican County Central Committee will cast those votes.)
https://lakecountygazette.com/stories/511381743-lake-county-gop-to-select-party-leaders-at-upcoming-county-convention
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The Lake County Republican Party is slated to hold its official county GOP convention on April 18 at Concorde Banquets in Kildeer. “All Lake County Republican precinct committeemen who were duly elected and certified in the March 20, 2018, Republican primary election are called on to attend the county convention and cast their respective weighted votes for chairman of the Lake County Republican Central Committee, Central Committeemen of the Illinois Republican Party from their respective congressional districts, duly proposed amendments to the bylaws of the Lake County Republican Central Committee, various legislative and representative committees and certain other important business of the Lake County Republican Central Committee,” Lake County Republican Party Chairman Mark Shaw said in a press release. Shaw added “all 18 Republican Township Organizations will convene to conduct business relevant to their respective organizations and to caucus regarding the business to be conducted at the county convention, which (will be) gaveled to order at 7 p.m. that same evening.” “Recently, I announced my candidacy for re-election and would be honored if you would be my guest at the event,” Shaw said in the release disbursed among GOP leaders. Shaw is also committeeman for the 10th Congressional District and ran for representative in the 58th House District in 2012, losing to Scott Drury (D-Highwood). Among the Republican winners in the March 20, primary that will be on the ballot for the Nov. 6 general election are Gov. Bruce Rauner, states attorney candidate Erika Harold and secretary of state candidate Jason Helland. In other races on the fall ballot where GOP incumbents will be seeking another term, U.S. Rep. Peter Roskam (R-Wheaton) is set to face Democrat Sean Casten in the 6th Congressional District, Rep. Randy Hultgren (R-Plano) takes on Lauren Underwood in the 14th Congressional District, state Rep. David McSweeney (R-Barrington Hills) squares off against Democrat Bill Downs in the 52nd House District, and state Sen. Dan McConchie (R-Hawthorn Hills) faces Tom Georges in the 26th Senate District.)

ONE NEWS NOW
— Next up: Gov’t-endorsed bullying, taunting? If LGBTQ advocates in Illinois get their way, all public school students will be indoctrinated with pro-homosexual propaganda from the time they’re five years old. – Bob Kellogg
https://www.onenewsnow.com/education/2018/04/04/next-up-govt-endorsed-bullying-taunting
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Homosexual and transgender activists have persuaded liberal legislators to sponsor legislation that would require all public school (K-12) textbooks, regardless of the subject, to proclaim positive contributions of homosexuals to society. “[This legislation] would require that any book or book substitute that will be used as a text or text substitute include the ‘role and contributions’ of homosexuals and men and women who adopt opposite-sex persona [a.k.a., transgenderism],” explains Laurie Higgins with the Illinois Family Institute. Two Democratic lawmakers – State Senator Heather Steans and State Representative Anna Moeller – are the sponsors of SB 3249 and HB 5596 respectively. The bills also “require every public elementary school and high school to include in its curriculum a unit of instruction studying the significant role of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender individuals in society.” Higgins warns parents that those who live outside of Illinois shouldn’t brush aside this information, believing it will not affect them. “This will come to other states,” she warns. “It started in California; now it’s coming to Illinois. All it takes is a couple of homosexuals and/or leftists in your state legislature to bring this bill and it will be in your schools, too.” And the danger in that, according to Stella Morabito at The Federalist, is that the highly politicized nature of public schools will essentially “draw virtual targets” on the backs of students whose beliefs don’t align with the school’s. “A bully [would be] free to target with the taunt ‘bigot’ any child who comes from a traditional Christian home – and the curricula will back them up,” Morabito writes. Higgins is convinced that should the legislation pass, Republican Governor Bruce Rauner would sign it into law. It would become effective July 1, 2019. She recommends a two-fold approach to parents at this time: fight the bills – but at the same time “plan an escape route for your children from government schools.”)
AMERICAN SPECTATOR
— Marching Orders for Trump’s New VA Secretary – BETSY MCCAUGHEY (DIERSEN: What work experience do you have? My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have always viciously demonized, viciously denigrated, and viciously condemned the work experience that I gained working 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 and for GAO 1980-1997, the last 11 years of which at the GS-13 Step 1-10 levels, currently $96,403-$125,325. What opinion do those who represent you in government and in politics have of the work experience that you have? Based on their words and their actions, many, if not most, if not virtually all of those who represent me in government and in politics have an extremely low opinion of the work experience that I have.)
https://spectator.org/marching-orders-for-trumps-new-va-secretary/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Since President Trump ousted Veterans Administration Secretary David Shulkin, the question reverberating in Washington is whether Trump’s new pick, Admiral Ronny Jackson, is capable of heading a department with 360,000 employees and 9 million vets under its care. Senate Democrats carp he lacks experience running “a complex organization.” Experience is overrated. President Obama’s VA Secretary, Robert McDonald, failed miserably, despite having run Procter & Gamble. Vets died on phony wait lists on McDonald’s watch. . .Pundits are predicting a confirmation battle. The smart money should be on Jackson. He’s combat tested. Disregard the partisan drivel about his lack of experience running a big organization. It’s coming from the same people who had no problem making a community organizer the President.)

https://www.nytimes.com/2018/04/03/world/asia/india-fake-news.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The Indian government called the decree a crackdown on fake news. It lasted less than a day. On Monday evening, the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting abruptly announced that it would penalize journalists who spread “fake news,” the term popularized by President Trump to disparage what he has regarded as unfair coverage of his 2016 American presidential campaign and first year in office. The term is now widely used around the world by authoritarian politicians and governments to describe reporting that they find objectionable. Members of India’s freewheeling press expressed shock and outrage at the announcement, seeing the hidden hand of Prime Minister Narendra Modi — who enjoys warm relations with Mr. Trump — to quell negative media coverage ahead of India’s general election next year.)

https://www.wsj.com/articles/california-a-sanctuary-for-criminals-1522793743
(FROM THE ARTICLE: In Orange County, we reject this kind of reckless behavior. As a member of the Board of Supervisors, I have a say in how to improve my community of 3.2 million residents. We are home to large groups of immigrant communities, and we fully embrace the diverse cultures of our immigrant population. Our concern is about criminal illegal aliens who are falling through the cracks because our sheriff can’t talk to federal immigration agents. On March 27 I introduced a resolution to condemn the state sanctuary law and to direct county counsel to take legal action. Every Orange County supervisor present voted in favor. We currently are reviewing the best ways in which to intervene in the federal government’s lawsuit against California. States cannot simply opt out of federal laws they don’t like. If tomorrow California decided that the First Amendment was a nuisance and passed legislation to restrict this constitutional right, Americans wouldn’t accept the new law. I came to this country with a great respect for the freedom and safety that the Constitution affords its citizens. Condemning the sanctuary law has nothing to do with race or politics. It’s about protecting Americans and their constitutional rights. There’s a long road ahead in fixing our broken immigration system, but, along the way, local law enforcement should cooperate fully with the federal law.)

FED WEEK
— More Employees Report Seeing Prohibited Personnel Practices (DIERSEN: While I worked for the federal government for almost 30 years, I saw my Democrat superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates commit many PPPs, most commonly, a) discriminating against federal employees because they were Republican, White, male, and/or non-veteran and had not made 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) wasting the careers of and getting rid of employees who complained about patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age retaliation, and/or retaliation.)
http://www.fedweek.com/fedweek/more-employees-report-seeing-prohibited-personnel-practices/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: More federal employees reported in 2016 that they had seen prohibited personnel practices in the workplace than in 2010, MSPB has said in a preview of an upcoming report. A budget-related document notes that until the MSPB board has a quorum—it has lacked one for more than a year although nominees for the two vacant seats recently were named—it cannot issue the kind of studies it conducts regularly into federal personnel issues. However, it gave some detail regarding reports in progress. One shows that in a survey MSPB conducted in 2016, more employees reported observing “PPPs”—which include whistleblower retaliation, various forms of discrimination, decisions not based on merit, and more—compared with a similar survey in 2010. “Notably, only 54 percent of respondents in 2016 indicated that they had observed no PPPs, compared to 78 percent in 2010,” it says. The later survey also found high rates of employees reporting that their agencies are not complying with new PPP created in 2012, that non-disclosure policies must include language stating that the policies do not reduce employee whistleblowing rights. MSPB added that it is working on several other studies that rely in part on the survey data. “Those studies cover areas such as individual drivers of employee engagement, sexual harassment, performance management, effectiveness of the HR workforce, and the Pathways program,” it said.)
