WBEZ
— JULY 22, 2016 FLASHBACK: Illinois Republicans Leave RNC Split On Trump’s Speech – Tony Arnold  (DIERSEN: From what I see, Pat Brady has led, is leading, and will continue to lead the anti-Trumps in Illinois.  Therefore, if you have supported Brady, if you are supporting Brady, and/or if you continue to support Brady, YOU SHOUT THAT YOU ARE ANTI-TRUMP.  Anti-Trumps are anti-Protestant, anti-conservative, anti-Republican, anti-American, anti-White, anti-male, anti-older people, anti-rich people, anti-gun owners, and/or anti-those whose ancestors have been in America longer than their ancestors.  Anti-Trumps appointed Brady to serve on the Illinois Republican Party State Convention Platform and Resolutions Committee instead of me.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Illinois Republicans are leaving their party’s national convention split on the candidacy of Donald Trump. John Anthony is a former state representative and a former police officer. “I think I have become a fan of Donald Trump,” Anthony said Friday morning. Anthony advocated for Florida Sen. Marco Rubio during the primary, and didn’t think very highly of Trump before Thursday night’s speech. Anthony says he prefers candidates who are more laid back. But Trump’s comments in favor of police officers changed Anthony’s mind about the Republican presidential nominee. “So many of my boys, my brothers and sisters in blue, are depressed at this time. Most of them don’t want to do the job because they’re afraid of the consequence,” Anthony said. But former state GOP chairman Pat Brady checked out of his Cleveland hotel early, skipping Trump’s speech altogether. Brady was a delegate for Ohio Gov. John Kasich. Walking through the hotel lobby with his shoelaces untied and a toothbrush hanging out of his mouth, Brady said his suitcase was more organized than the Trump campaign.)

http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/politics/ct-illinois-democratic-national-convention-met-0724-20160723-story.html
— DIERSEN HEADLINE: Individuals, organizations, companies, governments, and countries that promote Clinton are anti-Protestant, anti-conservative, anti-Republican, anti-American, anti-White, anti-male, anti-older people, anti-rich people, anti-gun owners, and/or anti-those whose ancestors have been in America longer than their ancestors.)

— No openings, but hundreds apply for Naperville police jobs – Genevieve Bookwalter  (DIERSEN: Many millions have not and will not seek a job with the federal government a) because the pay and benefits are terrible, b) because the advancement opportunities are terrible, c) because they lack required education, work experience, professional certifications, and/or professional licenses, d) because they cannot pass a background investigation, e) because they cannot pass a physical examination, f) because they cannot take the demonization, denigration, and condemnation that comes with being a federal employee or federal retiree, and/or g) because they are Republican, White, male, older, and/or non-veteran and they know that the federal government discriminates against its employees who are Republican, White, male, older, and/or non-veteran.)

— Naperville police union leader disputes account by essay author – Genevieve Bookwalter  (DIERSEN: Ever-increasingly, Democrats blame police for all the problems that minorities have had, are having, and will have.)
http://www.chicagotribune.com/suburbs/naperville-sun/ct-nvs-naperville-crooks-police-st-0724-20160722-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The leader of Naperville’s police union is disputing a statement by the author of an essay about growing up black in Naperville that he was pulled over dozens of times between 2001 and 2007, saying department records show the former resident was stopped only a handful of times by the city’s police force. Mike Caruso, a Naperville police detective and president of Fraternal Order of Police Lodge No. 42 in Naperville, said his department took it personally. “Our members are not happy,” Caruso said. “The way that our department took it was as a shot at the Naperville Police Department.” Brian Crooks, whose Facebook essay went viral after it was shared thousands of times, on Friday stood by the original estimate and said he did not attribute all of the stops to Naperville police. Crooks also wondered if all stops, from Naperville police or other law enforcement, were properly documented. Excerpts of the essay appeared in the Naperville Sun this past week. “I don’t know what department they came from,” said Crooks, who did not single out a specific law enforcement agency in his essay or in later interviews with the Naperville Sun. “It wasn’t my intent to say Naperville Police Department has this problem.” Naperville police Chief Robert Marshall said his offer to have coffee with Crooks remains open when the former Naperville resident is back in town. He did not dispute Crooks’ allegations, and said he looks forward to talking with him more. He described Crooks as “very gracious” during their phone conversation last week.)

— Lobby colleges to forbid alcohol – Anita Bedell, Executive Director, Illinois Church Action on Alcohol and Addiction Problems, Sringfield  (DIERSEN: Sadly, if not tragically, virtually all of my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes a) drink lots of alcohol, b) talk and/or act like they want to drink lots of alcohol, and/or c) talk and/or act like they want everyone to drink lots of alcohol.)
http://www.dailyherald.com/article/20160723/discuss/160729554/
— Good program for nonviolent offenders – Paula McGowen, Glen Ellyn  (DIERSEN: QUESTION: Why limit the program to just joining the military; why not expand it to joining the federal government?  ANSWER: Many millions have not and will not seek a job with the federal government a) because the pay and benefits are terrible, b) because the advancement opportunities are terrible, c) because they lack required education, work experience, professional certifications, and/or professional licenses, d) because they cannot pass a background investigation, e) because they cannot pass a physical examination, f) because they cannot take the demonization, denigration, and condemnation that comes with being a federal employee or federal retiree, and/or g) because they are Republican, White, male, older, and/or non-veteran and they know that the federal government discriminates against its employees who are Republican, White, male, older, and/or non-veteran.)
http://www.dailyherald.com/article/20160723/discuss/160729559/
(FROM THE LETTER: Hats off to DuPage County State’s Attorney Robert Berlin for bringing out a program for first time nonviolent offenders that can lead to their charges being dismissed and their record expunged. The requirement for entry, joining the military, could be the answer for those that have lost their direction and need the discipline the military could provide to get on course. It is gratifying knowing that this opportunity is now there for those wanting to straighten out their lives, who need a helping hand, not the start of a criminal record that could lead to missed opportunities and a life of crime.)

 

NCTV17
— Lawsuit Continues in Naperville Township
http://www.nctv17.com/lawsuit-continues-in-naperville-township/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The Naperville Township highway commissioner is not letting go of his lawsuit.  Stan Wojtasiak is appealing the judge’s ruling that the township board was justified in reducing his budget by more than 20 percent in May. The cut they made was about $544,000. That’s the same sum which the city of Naperville said the township would save if they entered into a consolidation deal for the maintenance of the township’s roads: a move Wojtasiak opposed. DuPage County Judge Bonnie Wheaton determined that the board had the final say in setting the budget for road district costs. The lawsuit seeks to restore the road district’s budget to Wojtasiak’s original ask of about $2.6 million. The Illinois Second District Appellate Court in Elgin will hear the case.)

http://www.nytimes.com/2016/07/23/us/a-colorado-town-tests-positive-for-marijuana-in-its-water.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: There are no marijuana dispensaries or greenhouses in the tiny railroad town of Hugo, where Theodore Roosevelt once ate breakfast with the local cowboys. But this week, Hugo’s 740 residents were told to stop drinking the water after the town’s water supply tested positive for THC, the psychoactive chemical in Colorado’s most famous cash crop. The trouble started when a local company trying to calibrate its employee drug tests pulled a positive reading from Hugo’s tap water. The town’s Public Works Department investigated and found signs of tampering and “forced entry” at one of the wells that supply the town’s drinking water, a spokesman for the Lincoln County sheriff told reporters. The town sealed off the well that seemed to be the source of the tainted water. No one has reported feeling sick or intoxicated from drinking the water, though people around the high-plains town joked on Friday that perhaps they should be drinking more water. On the town’s Facebook community page, Hugo Happenings, people joked about Hugo’s new “healing waters,” and said that its ice cubes could be the tiny town’s answer to marijuana brownies.)
