— The Democrats’ vote-by-mail juggernaut
https://capitolfax.com/2018/11/20/the-democrats-vote-by-mail-juggernaut/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The overwhelming success of the Democrats’ vote-by-mail program is one of the least-covered stories of this election year. In 1994, the Democrats lost 13 House seats by something like 2,000 votes. Lots of races are won and lost at the margins and the Democrats essentially had the vote-by-mail field to themselves. So, as the Republicans talk about what they can do differently in 2020, a solid VBM program should be at or near the top of their list.)

— The way forward
https://capitolfax.com/2018/11/20/the-way-forward/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: I just don’t think that much of anything is going to change between now and 2020, when President Trump is likely to be on the ballot for reelection. The suburbs are gonna be brutal yet again for Republicans. They should focus mostly on Downstate (where the President will help), while doing the best they can to defend suburban incumbents and make an effort at picking off some of the fluke Democratic winners. Start early, work hard and smart and hold Gov. Pritzker to his promise to veto a redistricting map that isn’t fairly drawn and then help make sure his veto isn’t overridden by Democratic super-majorities. Also, find a way to get Dick Uihlein back on the same page. With Rauner and his checkbook making an exit, these primaries will only drain the resources necessary for the general election.)

POLITICO ILLINOIS
— When former state GOP leader Pat Brady said President Donald Trump’s rhetoric about women and minorities “hurts” Republicans, some guests at Monday’s City Club event booed. “Whether you like it or not,” Brady told the City Club crowd at Maggiano’s Banquets, “We have to come up with an Illinois strategy that bifurcates us away from the president’s message or we won’t be able to recruit people.” Monday’s contentious scene is just another indication of how divided the Republican Party is after that blue-ish wave swept Illinois. The event was titled “Illinois GOP: Now What?” At one point Brady also called out Dan Proft, who runs a right-wing PAC, for funneling $1.2 million to a primary candidate challenging Illinois House Republican leader Jim Durkin—who ultimately won. That kind of financial support could have benefited Erika Harold, Brady said of the GOP attorney general candidate who fell short. Brady wants financial support to carry candidates through the general election. But Proft, also a panelist, disagreed, saying, “Competition produces better goods and services. Primaries are for improving the quality of the caucus and generals are for growing the caucus.” There was a glimmer of unity. Proft agreed with Brady on the need to do a better job recruiting young people, women and minorities. So now what? . . . A Cook County Circuit Court judge has ruled a Chicago restaurateur can move ahead with his defamation lawsuit against Crain Communications.

AFTAH is dedicated to “apply[ing] the same single-minded determination to opposing the radical homosexual agenda and standing for God-ordained sexuality and the natural family as countless homosexual groups do in promoting their harmful agenda.” LaBarbera frequently debates homosexual issues on mainstream and pro-LGBT media, and has written for LifeSiteNews.

November 19 Morning Edition

DAILY HERALD
— Contested mayoral races expected in Naperville, Wheaton, Downers Grove (DIERSEN: Ronald Almiron has also filed for an at-large seat on the Wheaton City Council.)
https://www.dailyherald.com/news/20181119/contested-mayoral-races-expected-in-naperville-wheaton-downers-grove–
(FROM THE ARTICLE: In Wheaton, Councilman John Prendiville officially launched his campaign as the first mayoral candidate to submit nominating petitions to appear on the April ballot. Prendiville turned in his paperwork at the city clerk’s office when the filing period opened at 8 a.m. in order to claim the first spot on the ballot in the April 2 election. Another longtime council member, Phil Suess, also has announced his bid to succeed Mayor Michael Gresk, who is stepping down after three terms. Prendiville served on the council from 2007 to 2011 and again since 2013 after an unsuccessful run to unseat Gresk as mayor. He is the managing director and senior managing counsel for The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation, a firm that acts as a trustee for municipal bond issues. Prendiville already is touting endorsements from two former mayors, Jim Carr and Gwen Henry. Gresk has said he will not make an endorsement in the race. “I really enjoyed my time on the city council I’d like to keep the city on the track that we’ve been on,” Prendiville said. “We’ve been very fiscally responsible and I think that is the basis for everything we do as a city in terms of providing services and maintaining our infrastructure and I enjoy working with everybody and I think that my ability to work with others is one of the reasons why I’ve gotten the support so far.” Incumbent Suzanne Fitch filed Monday to run for re-election for her at-large council seat. The other at-large seat — held by Prendiville — also is up for grabs. The Wheaton City Council is composed of six representatives and the mayor. Four council members represent the city’s four voting districts, while two members and the mayor are elected at-large. Five residents — Paula Mesch, Bruce Fogerty, Reda Karaliukas, David Diersen (DIERSEN: I pulled a nominating packet for someone else, not for myself.) and Jeremy Parker — have pulled nominating packets from the city clerk’s office but have not yet filed. It’s not yet clear which offices they would seek. The filing period runs until 5 p.m. Nov. 26. If more than four mayoral candidates or if more than eight at-large city council member candidates emerge, a primary will be held Feb. 26 to narrow the field.)
— FRONT PAGE TOP OF FOLD: Will voters stay energized for local elections? – Jake Griffin (DIERSEN: Because Democrats were so successful a) in promoting hatred of Trump and b) in getting voters to punish Trump by voting for Democrats in the November 6, 2018 election, Democrats will do the same thing for the April 2, 2019 election. Democrats will demonize, denigrate and condemn Republican candidates in the April 2, 2019 election as being White supremacists, Nazis, KKK members, haters, racists, sexists, bigots, and even worse things who should be gotten rid of. Democrats will demand that Republican candidates demonize, denigrate, and condemn Trump as being a White supremacist, Nazi, KKK member, hater, racist, sexist, bigot, and even worse things who should be gotten rid of.)
https://www.dailyherald.com/news/20181119/will-voters-stay-energized-for-local-elections-
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Political organizers say they are trying to seize the momentum from the recent election to attract more people to run for local offices. “We hope the enthusiasm continues and we’ll see how many we can get out to get interested in these posts,” said Bob Peickert, chairman of the DuPage Democratic Party. “This is an opportunity to have some experience in local government, and they can get a better understanding of how government works. It is a form of minor leagues.” Schraufnagel said it’s “conceivable” the so-called blue wave that helped Democrats seize a number of seats at all levels of the government would continue for the local election of 2019. But it’s even more likely Republicans will use this opportunity to reinvigorate their ranks, he said. Both Gov.-elect J.B. Pritzker, a Democrat, and departing Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner have shared some of their war chests with township and county parties, which could help bolster future local government campaigns. “Using local elections as a farm system dates back to the late 1970s for Republicans,” Schraufnagel said. “This is a strategy that has been around for 30 or 40 years to groom them and train them.”)

 

CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— When 40 years at the same job is not enough – Jonathan Haskell (DIERSEN: All my critics/opponents, all their operatives, and all their dupes promote age discrimination a) to get rid of those who are older than they are and/or b) to curry favor with those who promote age discrimination. To make room for its young Democrat minority employees and for its young Democrat female employees, the federal government discriminates against its employees who are Republican, White, male, and/or non-veteran. The federal government wastes the careers of and gets rid of its employee who are Republican, White, male, and/or non-veteran who do not make 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. Extremely few make the aforesaid promotions.)

On the first day of the month following your 65th birthday, you’re no longer an employee. Most people must look forward to that day when they can sleep in, wear cargo pants, plan vacations off-season — not taking orders from feckless bosses, dealing with problematic colleagues or fighting traffic home from work. . .Since President Ronald Reagan, there is no age discrimination at the workplace in the U.S., but that’s not the case here. So I’ll be out on June 1 to make room for one of the many deserving young persons.)

NORTHERN PUBLIC RADIO
— The Blue Wave That Inundated Illinois: What’s Next? – BOB EVANS (DIERSEN: The Illinois Republican Party (IRP) State Central Committee (SCC) will meet on Saturday, December 1, 2018. What will “Republican leaders” in Illinois who are really Democrat plants, Libertarian plants, Green plants, and RINOs demand? If they were open and honest about what they want, they would demand that the IRP and all its county, ward, and township organizations immediately condemn Trump and condemn Pence. They would demand that the IRP immediately strike the traditional family, right to life, immigration, and Second Amendment planks from its platform. They would demand that the IRP and all its county, ward, and township organizations immediately banish from the IRP a) those who support the aforesaid planks and b) those who are Trump supporters, Protestant, conservative, patriotic, Republican, American, White, male, older, rich, gun owners, German American, draft avoiders, and those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time. What do the following have to say about the aforesaid: IRP Chairman (Tim Schneider), IRP National Committeeman (Richard Porter), IRP National Committeewoman (Demetra DeMonte), your representative on the IRP SCC (mine is Bob Grogan), the officers of your Republican county party organization (mine are Brian Krajewski, Marty Keller, Paul Hinds, Barbara Murphy, and Gwen Henry), and the officers of your Republican township/ward party organization (mine are Chris LeVan, John Monino, and Yadav Nathwani)?)
http://www.northernpublicradio.org/post/blue-wave-inundated-illinois-whats-next
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The midterms generated a blue wave that inundated Illinois. Pritzker romped. Democrats won every state-wide office and defended their extraordinary legislative majorities. Illinois is now one of the bluest of blue states. What happened, and what’s next? It happened for several reasons. First, Illinois is, and has been, trending Democratic. Demographic changes are profound and persistent. ‎In addition, there was a down ballot anti-Trump and anti-Rauner effect. Trump’s biting social and cultural message that perhaps saved Senate seats cost Republicans House seats such as Illinois 6 and 14. Moderate suburban voters abandoned Republicans. The anti-Rauner effect was cumulative but fatal down ballot. His obstreperous budget stance, combined with yielding to Democrats on abortion and sanctuary status, alienated Independents and Republicans, who never returned to the fold. He cooked his own goose. Now that Democrats virtually control Illinois there are no bucks to be passed.‎ Two choices loom. They can claim a mandate for bold new programs, but at great cost. Illinois does not have two nickels to rub together. Or they could proceed modestly, conserving scarce resources for the looming budgetary tidal wave. Democrats will signal modesty and prudence if they consider early on a bill to place Republicans on the Endangered Species List. I am Bob Evans, and that is my perspective.)

FED SMITH
— Can You Work Longer in a Position with Mandatory Retirement? – John Grobe (DIERSEN: Constructively, it is mandatory for federal employees who are Republican, White, male, and/or non-veteran to retire as soon as they are eligible, unless they have made into the Senior Executive Service (currently $164,200/year). I became eligible for early retirement in 1993 when I was 45 years old.)
https://www.fedsmith.com/2018/11/18/can-work-longer-position-mandatory-retirement/

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Certain federal positions have mandatory retirement ages associated with them. Those that most of us are aware of are Law Enforcement Officers, Firefighters and Air Traffic Controllers, though there are a few other “special category” employees. Law Enforcement Officers and Firefighters are expected to be “young and vigorous” (yes, that’s what the law says), and Congress has determined that youth and vigor depart at the age of 57. Air Traffic Controllers have a mandatory retirement age of 56. So, unless there is an exception granted by the agency head, individuals in these positions must be off the rolls at the end of the month in which they reach their mandatory age. Exceptions are limited to just a few years.)

CANADA FREE PRESS
— When You Reward Something, the More You Get of it! – Chuck Lehmann
https://canadafreepress.com/article/when-you-reward-something-the-more-you-get-of-it
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Well, well, how true that statement is especially when it refers to our treatment of illegal aliens. When we give people who have “invaded” our country (even non-militarily) illegally, and we give them food, shelter, clothing, education, health care, sanctuary cities, and a drivers license, you know right away that our benevolence will attract others to do the same, it’s almost like a magnet. In other words, when you reward something the more you get of it. Common sense tells us that if we weren’t so generous to those people we call “illegal aliens” (according to liberals – they’re undocumented workers), the flow of these illegals into our country would drop to a trickle as there would be no incentive for them to not get the “goodies” that we now give them. Why is that so difficult for liberals to understand? Is there a political motive that influences their thought processes? Could it be that they expect these “future citizens” to be reliable Democrat voters? Sounds about right, doesn’t it? But, when you ask a liberal, if someone, he/she doesn’t know, walks through his/her front door uninvited and demands that you take care of them, would you let them stay or would you summon the police to have them removed? The overwhelming answer of these liberals would be “NO” they can’t stay, so why are they against a tightening up the border (with a fence that President Trump wants put in place) in order to prevent letting people into our country that have not been invited? You could deduce that liberals have a “double-standard” and their resistance to tightening up the border is a valid case in point. This column’s headline also applies to other situations affecting our country, like lowering the standards in our schools (the “dumbing” down of the curriculum) and not sufficiently punishing disruptive students, thereby preventing learning from taking place for the students who want to learn. Also, when people in government, in high elective or appointed offices, violate the rules of conduct and they get off with no or little punishment (a slap on the wrist), you’ll get more illegal behavior ( a play on our headline might go like this, “When you reward bad behavior, you get more of it”). The obvious case in point is the rules that Hillary Clinton violated while in office and still no punishment has been meted out because of a two-tier justice system, one for the well connected and one for the rest of us poor slobs. Now, we are faced with another problem that will affect society, and that is the major push by some influential people to legalize drugs. We’ve started with the legalization of marijuana in a few of the states of the union, with more to come on board in the near future. Again, you see that when you reward something, you get more of it. The adverse effects of the legalization of marijuana already has had a negative effect in the State of Colorado where traffic accidents and deaths have spiked up dramatically since legalization. Although marijuana is not a hard drug like cocaine and heroin, it is still a mind altering drug that does affect the person using it, and legalizing it has more people using it, not for medicinal use, but for recreational use. So, in conclusion, when you reward something, you get more of it, can be considered a sane conclusion in those areas mentioned above. It’s just common sense. So, be wary of those who want to do away with our tried and true rules of conduct that have been handed down through the ages, it might just be a change for the worst, not the better.)

— With changing political landscape, outgoing state Sen. Rooney saw defeat coming – Christopher Placek (DIERSEN: How successful were the Democrats in your precinct in a) promoting hatred against Trump and b) getting voters to punish Trump by voting for Democrats?)
https://www.dailyherald.com/news/20181117/with-changing-political-landscape-outgoing-state-sen-rooney-saw-defeat-coming
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Outgoing Republican state Sen. Tom Rooney of Rolling Meadows is staying out of elected politics for now — if not at least keeping a toe in his local GOP organization in an effort to build it back into a party of ideas, he said. But Rooney, considered a moderate in some Republican circles, said he doesn’t see an immediate path forward for the party in suburban elections. He attributed his recent narrow defeat at the polls to suburban dissatisfaction with President Donald Trump. “Absolutely no doubt people had nationalized this election, and quite frankly I spoke to people at doors who said, ‘Sorry, I’m not doing anything with an R,'” said Rooney, a Marco Rubio presidential delegate who even wrote in the Florida senator on the 2016 general election ballot. “The suburban vote is tough for Republicans at this point.”)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: In Wheaton, Mayor Michael Gresk and two at-large council members — Suzanne Fitch and John Prendiville — have terms that expire in May. Gresk, first elected in 2007, is stepping down after three terms. Prendiville and Councilman Phil Suess already have announced that they will run to succeed Gresk. That means no incumbent will be running for Prendiville’s at-large seat on the council. Fitch has said she intends to seek re-election to her at-large seat. The Wheaton City Council is composed of six representatives and the mayor. Four council members represent the city’s four voting districts, while two members and the mayor are elected at-large.)

They will focus on driving out of the DuPage GOP those like me who support the traditional family, right to life, immigration, Second Amendment, illegal drugs, and equal opportunity (no race of gender based preference giving) planks in the Illinois Republican Party platform and the Republican Party platforms. They will focus on driving out of the DuPage GOP those like me who are Trump supporters, Protestant, conservative, patriotic, Republican, American, White, male, old (I am 70), non-poor, gun owners, draft avoiders, German American, and those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time.)

Peter Roskam and Randy Hultgren lost only two precincts combined in 2016. “It signals that it’s a time for purging and rebuilding,” Ruhl added. “The focus needs to be on identifying our voter base and growing that base in an upright manner where we’re working with a more diverse group of people and educating them on all the things we know need to happen for this state.”)

YAHOO NEWS
— First They Came For Acosta. Why We (PEN America) Sued Trump Before He Acts Again – Jeff Berman and Jennifer Boylan (DIERSEN: What is PEN America’s position on those politicians, their operatives, and their dupes who since 2000 have treated me like Trump treats Acosta? Will PEN America sue them?)
https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/first-came-acosta-why-sued-214850036.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: This President has done far more than retaliate against one White House reporter. Rather, he has mounted a sustained campaign of retaliation and threats against an array of journalists and media companies he perceives as critics, ranging from interfering with a merger to threats to revoke media broadcast licenses. This President has demonstrated time and again that, no matter the damage to our democracy, he will make outrageous, chilling, and dangerous remarks to and about journalists. He has that right and nothing in sight will stop him. But when he and his administration take action to curtail the exercise of First Amendment rights, it has not only gone too far morally, it has gone too far legally. That’s why PEN America, an organization of writers and literary professionals whose mission is celebrating and defending free expression, sued President Trump in federal court to stop him. And it’s why Protect Democracy, a nonpartisan nonprofit with a mission to prevent our democracy from sliding into autocracy, is representing PEN America along with the Yale Media Freedom and Information Access Clinic, going after President Trump in federal court to stop him. We are suing President Trump for using the levers of government power he oversees to punish the media for coverage he dislikes, not for his verbal attacks on the press. The President’s retaliatory actions toward news entities harken not just back to the McCarthy era, when the creative community was directly targeted by the government, they are straight out of the modern authoritarian’s playbook. Where Trump has his “enemy of the people,” Stalin had his “vrag naroda” (enemy of the nation). Where Trump has his “lying media,” Hitler had his “lugenpresse” (lying press).)

DAILY HERALD
— California GOP ponders way forward after stunning losses – AP (DIERSEN: What is the Illinois Republican Party (IRP) pondering? Has your representative on the IRP State Central Committee sought your input? What is on the agenda for the December 1, 2018 IRP SCC meeting? Where, and at what time, will the meeting be held? Will public comments be allowed? What will be discussed in the open part of the meeting and what will be discussed in executive session part of the meeting?)
https://www.dailyherald.com/article/20181116/news/311169983/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: “The California Republican Party isn’t salvageable at this time,” concluded Kristin Olsen, a former Republican leader in the state Assembly. “The Grand Old Party is dead – partly because it has failed to separate itself from today’s toxic, national brand of Republican politics,” she wrote in a column on the website CALmatters. Shawn Steel, one of the state’s two Republican National Committee members, said her party has “reached the point of desperation.” “The party’s problems have been around longer and run much deeper than any one person. From money to grassroots organization, California Republicans are completely outmatched,” Steel wrote on the Washington Examiner website. A generation ago, the state was once a reliable win for the GOP in presidential elections. And in Orange County, largely white, conservative homeowners delivered winning margins for Republicans year after year. But a surge in immigrants transformed the state and its voting patterns. The number of Hispanics, blacks and Asians has outnumbered whites since 1998. And many of those new voters lean Democratic. The number of registered Republicans has been in a freefall for years – even independents outnumber them. In a sign of what was to come, Hillary Clinton carried Orange County in the 2016 presidential election, the first Democrat to do so since the Depression era. A stronger tack leftward has now dramatically arrived. . .Clearly, President Donald Trump was a factor. He lost California by over 4 million votes in 2016 and has remained unpopular, and many voters saw an opportunity to send a message to Washington. Walters and Rohrabacher, for example, were closely tied to the president, while Democratic candidates campaigned openly against Trump’s agenda. But demographic changes have also helped Democrats, and in key congressional races they fielded a group of fresh faces, not career politicians. Steel, the GOP committeeman, noted that Democrats raised more money and did a better job registering voters and using social media. The state GOP has debated for years whether the party needs to turn to the political center, or right. As far back as 2007, Republican Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger warned the party was “dying at the box office” and needed to claim issues usually associated with the Democratic agenda, including climate change and health care reform. The latest setbacks have set off a fresh round of Republican soul-searching. Travis Allen, a former GOP candidate for governor and ardent Trump supporter, said Thursday he was entering the race to be the state party leader. The party, he said, is at the “lowest point it’s been since the 1880s.”)

— The Republicans Broke Congress. Democrats Can Fix It. A roadmap for House Democrats between now and the 2020 election – NORMAN J. ORNSTEIN (DIERSEN: If Gingrich had not gutted GAO in 1990s, I might still be a GAO employee. Gingrich had to know that the Democrats who ran GAO in the 1990s would use his tremendous budget cuts to get rid of GAO’s employees like me who were Republican, and especially those like me who were White, male, older, and/or non-veteran. My critics/opponents hint/imply/argue/shout a) that Gingrich knew full-well that because of his tremendous budget cuts, GAO forced me to retire in 1997 when I was 49 years old and b) that Gingrich had no problem with that. They stress that Gingrich, Hastert, Republican U.S. Senators from Illinois, and Republican U.S. Representatives from Illinois have not come to my defense.)
https://newrepublic.com/article/152127/republicans-broke-congress-democrats-can-fix-it

(FROM THE ARTICLE: For many decades, Congress has provided orientations for its new members. These used to be bipartisan, including a wide range of experts who taught newcomers the rules of how Congress works. After Newt Gingrich’s speakership in the 1990s, they became more partisan and generally less effective. The Democrats will need a much more robust orientation for members, new and otherwise, who have never served in the majority—and the same for staff. There should also be training about how to conduct investigations—there’s going to be a lot to investigate—how to do oversight, how to ask questions of witnesses, and how to use the alphabet soup of resources available to Congress, from CBO to GAO to CRS.)

— Blakeman says GOP needs new leaders to counter Dems – Glenn Minnis
https://westcentralreporter.com/stories/511631380-blakeman-says-gop-needs-new-leaders-to-counter-dems
(FROM THE ARTICLE: “Plain and simple, we are a welfare state,” he told West Central Reporter. “As long as one party (Democrats) keeps giving away free stuff, they will stay in power.” Blakeman argues the current situation leaves the state in a perilous position. “Eventually the state coffers will run dry and the programs will stop;” he added. “At that point, all voters will turn on the Democratic Party. Until then, enjoy high taxes and corrupt government.” Finally, Blakeman insists Republicans are in need of new leadership across the state to balance the scales. “The current leadership does not know how to campaign against the Democrats,” he said. The Chicago Tribune reports that Democrats recorded a statewide sweep on Election Night along with picking up at least two congressional seats. In addition, first-term Gov. Bruce Rauner, a Republican, was ousted by J.B. Pritzker, a Democrat, as overall the GOP suffered the party’s most lopsided defeat in more than a decade.)

WORLD NET DAILY
— HOUSE DEMOCRATS ‘BAN IDEOLOGICAL FOOD’
https://www.wnd.com/2018/11/house-democrats-ban-ideological-food/

(FROM THE ARTICLE: But apparently it’s true, with Politico reporter Rachael Bade tweeting that there is to be no “chick-fil-a/ideological food” when the House Democrats serve a “thanksgiving-type meal” for their first caucus meeting in room where the majority typically meets. “This is a sickness!” wrote a contributor to the Twitter news-aggregating site Twitchy. “Liberals have been crapping on Thanksgiving for a while now, but you’d be hard-pressed to find something more woke that this.” The Chik-fil-A fast food chain became a target of the culture war in 2012 when CEO Dan Cathy declared support for traditional marriage. The company closes on Sundays so employees can attend church.)

NATIONAL REVIEW
— Making Acosta a Federal Case – MONA CHAREN (DIERSEN: I should write a book about my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes who demonize me, denigrate me, and condemn me as being like Jim Acosta. Since 2005, they have demonized me, denigrated, me, and condemned be as being like Jeff Gannon. I should write a book about activists, candidates, elected officials, and party leaders in Illinois who claim to be religious, conservative, and/or Republican, but a) who do NOT want me to know about their press conferences, b) who do NOT want me to attend their press conferences, c) who do NOT want me to ask questions during their press conferences, d) who do NOT want me to speak with other reporters, e) who have barred me from attending their press conferences, f) who have had me thrown out of their press conferences, and/or g) who do not want me to report on their press conferences. Ever-increasingly, they want me to agree to not report anything about their fundraisers before they will let me attend their fundraisers. Since 2005, they have viciously used against me what happened with GOPUSA, Talon News, and White House Correspondent Jeff Gannon. SEE: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talon_News They paint me as being a clone of Jeff Gannon and even worse things. Ever since I became a GOPUSA reporter in 2000, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have hinted/implied/argued/shouted that I ask bad questions at press conferences and share privileged information with reporters that have caused Republican candidates to be defeated and even worse things. Of course, I should sue my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes.)

WBUR
— DIERSEN HEADLINE: An anti-Trump says “The Media Needs A New Set Of Rules For Covering Trump.” I should write a book about my critics/opponents who do not want me to include links in GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails to articles a) that PROMOTE the traditional marriage, right to life, immigration, Second Amendment, illegal drugs, and equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) planks in the Illinois Republican Party platform and the Republican Party platform or b) that OPPOSE promoting dependency on government, dependency on charity, LGBTQ activity, abortion, mass/illegal immigration, abolition of the First and Second Amendments, booze, gambling, pot, and other vices, patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation.
