THE FEDERALIST
— Watch These Reporters Applaud Hillary Clinton At A Press Conference  (DIERSEN: What do you say to those in the media who deny that they are Democrats, but who a) glorify and praise those who defend and advance the Democrat Party platform and b) demonize, denigrate, and condemn those who defend and advance the Republican Party platform?)
http://thefederalist.com/2016/08/06/watch-these-reporters-applaud-hillary-clinton-at-a-press-conference/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Hillary Clinton finally broke her 260-day long press conference moratorium Friday, and journalists couldn’t stop applauding her. As a rule of thumb, press conferences are not the place to applaud politicians. It’s supposed to be a forum where the candidate is supposed to be scrutinized and questioned by reporters, who are supposed to behave in an objective manner (i.e., no clapping). But all of that seemed to go out the window during a press event in Washington DC hosted by the National Association of Black Journalists and the National Association of Hispanic Journalists — the first press conference Clinton has held in nearly a year. In her remarks, Clinton referenced her approval rating at the end of her tenure as secretary of State, and the reporters in the room clapped heartily. They also applauded when she praised President Obama’s economic policies and when she talked about her expanding taste in music. Clinton has been criticized for being elusive to members of the press, even going as far as to rope them off at events. Her opponent Donald Trump theorized recently that Clinton is hiding because she “illegally deleted 33,000 emails” from the private, unsecured email server she used while working in the State Department. As it turns out, Clinton didn’t have to worry about getting tough questions from supposedly objective members of the press, because they couldn’t stop clapping for her.)
— Conservatism Is Dead; Long Live Conservatism  There is no conservative movement. The ‘Reagan coalition’ stopped existing as an operational political force some time ago. – James Heaney  (DIERSEN: I should write a book about past and present anti-conservatives, that is, anti-Republicans, in the Illinois Republican Party, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, Milton Township Republican Central Committee, TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois, Wheaton Chamber of Commerce, Illinois Center Right Coalition, American Association of Political Consultants, GAO, IRS, etc.)

ONE NEWS NOW
— FBI confirms IRS went to war with tea party – Chad Groening  (DIERSEN: Do your critics/opponents side with IRS against you? My critics/opponents do.  I have always been a Republican. While I worked for IRS 1971-1980, virtually all my superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates were Democrats. Of course, needless-to-say, my critics/opponents deny that political affiliation discrimination exists in IRS, that reverse discrimination exists in IRS, that age discrimination exists in IRS, or that retaliation for complaining about the aforesaid exists in IRS. Of course, needless-to-say, my critics/opponents side with my Democrat IRS superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates against me.  They side with IRS’s not promoting me beyond GS-12, with IRS’s disallowing my education expenses, and with IRS’s disallowing my partial day per diem claims.)

— Single, 54, and a New Dad: Why Some Start Families Late – ABBY ELLIN  (DIERSEN: Democrats are moral relativists who believe that their end justifies their means.  Democrats are disciples of Saul Alinsky.  Democrats are extremely nasty.  In 1989, when I was 40 years old, my Democrat GAO superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates used the fact that my wife and I had given up trying to have children, that we had not adopted, and that had not become foster parents to viciously demonize us, to viciously denigrate us, and to viciously condemn us as being selfish rich DINKs (dual income, no kids). They hinted/implied/argued/shouted that my wife and I had lied to Money Magazine in 1978 that we wanted to have children.)
