FOX32
— Brandon Johnson praises court order blocking Trump’s federal job cuts. A judge on Friday halted Trump’s plan to cut federal jobs. Johnson calls it a win for workers. Virtually all federal employees are Democrats. Democrats run the federal government. They use budget cuts first to get rid of any remining Republican employees and then to get rid of any remaining non-Democrat employees who are White, male, older, non-veteran, Protestant, German American, and/or have ancestors who have been in America for a long time. That is what happened at GAO 1980-1997 in response to Gingrich budget cuts. I should write about that. Because I am all of the aforesaid, because I complained about discrimination, and because I became an active member in a class action lawsuit that charged them with discrimination in 1988, I never would have survived those 18 years if I had not a) earned job-related master’s degrees in 1976, 1980, and 1997, b) earned job-related professional certifications in 1979, 1981, 1990, 1994, 1996, and 1997, and c) earned a job-related professional license in 1981.

— What was your childhood home? Mine was an apartment atop my grandfather’s hardware store in downtown Crete 1948-1953. The building was torn down in 1966 for a gas station. Then it was his home at 1286 Wood Street in Crete. My parents inherited it, then my brother and I inherited it, and then I inherited it.

— Sooner or later, everything will come out in the wash. Sooner or later, it will become clear that all my critics/opponents a) reject some, many, most, virtually all, if not all of the planks in the Republican Party platform, most commonly, its personal responsibility, traditional marriage and family, right to life, immigration, illegal drugs, Second Amendment, and/or equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) planks, b) destroy those like me who they cannot manipulate or dominate, who refuse to glorify and praise them, who refuse to pander to them, who refuse to serve as one of their operatives or dudes, who refuse to cover up their wrong doing, and/or who refuse to give them money, c) blame me for all of their problems, your problems, my problems, and everyone’s problems, and/or d) despise/hate those who share my demographics. I should write about my critics/opponents. I would focus on those who have had their operatives and their dupes take the most/biggest adverse actions against me lately. – Dave Diersen

— I should write a book about Wheaton Independence Day parades since 1978. I would focus on Republican participation in the parades. I would focus on those who have worked the hardest to diminish/end Republican participation. I served as the Republican fundraiser for the parades 2005-2021. I would focus on those who had their operatives and their dupes end what I did. I have urged the Milton Township Republican Organization to encourage Republican candidates for U.S. Senate, U.S. Congress District 3, Illinois statewide offices, Illinois senate, Illinois house, DuPage countywide offices, DuPage County District 4, etc. to participate in this year’s parade. In 2007, I succeeded in raising $2,000 on short notice so that an elephant could walk behind U.S. Congressman Peter Roskam.

— JULY 5, 2017 FLASHBACK: Republicans who participated in Wheaton’s outstanding Independence Day Parade this morning were: DuPage State’s Attorney Bob Berlin; DuPage County District 4 officials Grant Eckhoff, Tim Elliott, Amy Grant, and Tim Whelan; James Mendrick for DuPage Sheriff; Frank Bibbianno for DuPage Sheriff; Karen Wilson for DuPage Judge; and the Milton Township Republican Central Committee (MTRCC).  Republicans who walked with entries included Ron Almiron, Lori Carlson, Joseph Caruso, Flo Dangelo, Sal Falbo, Chris Heidorn, Pat Hinchey, Marty Keller, Larry LaVanway, Antonio Lollino, Paula McGowen, Ron Menna, David Norck, Thommen Poozhikunnel, Mary Rash, Pat Ryan, and Janet Shaw. Gary Muehlfelt drove the truck that pulled the outstanding MTRCC float. Peter Breen, Mike Connelly, and Jeanne Ives could not participate in the parade because of the Democrats.  Peter Roskam participated in a different parade. This year, for the 12th year in a row, “DuPage Republicans” helped sponsor the parade and fireworks. “DuPage Republicans” was one of the two $2,500 “Star” sponsors and again sponsored the Wheaton high school bands and the Tunes of Glory Pipes and Drums parade entries.  Because of a last minute shortage of banner carriers, I had the honor of helping carry the “Sponsored by DuPage Republicans” banner ahead of the Tunes of Glory Pipes and Drums. Outstandingly, again this year Tim Whelan coordinated Republican use of the “DuPage Republicans” booth at the fireworks. This year again, I delivered flyers to the residences and businesses on the parade route. The flyers listed the Republican entries in the parade and the Republicans who helped sponsor entries. Outstandingly, the flyers were printed courtesy of Alpha Graphics. This year, outstandingly, Roger Claar is a $500 contributor, Chris Nybo is a $250 contributor, Phil Suess is a $150 contributor, and Bob Berlin, Peter Breen, Mike Connelly, Grant Eckhoff, Tim Elliott, Amy Grant, Gwen Henry, Paul Hinds, Jeanne Ives, Marty Keller, Deanne Mazzochi, Paula McGowen, James Mendrick, Peter Roskam, Darlene Ruscitti, and Tim Whelan are $100 contributors. Please thank them for helping sponsor the parade and fireworks. This year was the 10th anniversary of an elephant walking behind Roskam in the parade.  For that 2007 parade, I had the honor of raising $2,000 on short notice from DuPage Republicans to sponsor that elephant. – Dave Diersen
