https://www.chicagotribune.com/2024/10/09/editorial-brandon-johnson-press-conference/
— Three jurors selected so far to hear evidence in Madigan corruption trial (COMMENT: I was denied my 7th Amendment rights in Diersen v. GAO, that is, I was denied a jury trial, because of my demographics: conservative, Republican, White, male. older, non-veteran, federal employee, non-poor, German American, my ancestors have been in America since 1844, Crete resident 1948-1972, and Wheaton resident since 1978. The more of the aforesaid demographics that a plaintiff is, the less likely that they can win. I have all of the aforesaid demographics. The aforesaid demographics are ever-increasingly demonized, denigrated, and condemned by Democrats and/or by RINOs.)
https://www.chicagotribune.com/2024/10/09/in-person-jury-questioning-to-begin-in-madigan-trial/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Jury selection has been a subject of much interest in pretrial hearings. Defense attorneys, citing years of attack ads by Republicans and enormous pretrial publicity, wanted to hire a company to research jurors’ internet presences so lawyers could screen for signs of bias. Blakey rejected that request. However, during the jury selection period, attorneys will be allowed to do basic internet searches about the prospective jurors and their public social media postings.)

I am all of the aforesaid and my ancestors have been in America since 1844. In my defense and their defense, they always lived in northeast Illinois, they never were in a position to discriminate against anyone, and they never did discriminate against anyone.

— FRONT PAGE TOP OF FOLD: Citing poor pay and heavy workload, many Illinois teachers consider leaving the profession (COMMENT: I worked for the Democrats who ran GAO 1980-1997. Because of the importance of GAO’s mission, I never considered leaving notwithstanding the many big adverse actions that they took against me to get me to leave. They forced me to take a $22,996 (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO. They gave me bad job assignments and unfair performance expectations and appraisals. They assigned me to supervise their most problematic employees. They delayed my promotions, did not promote me to GS-13 until 1986, and never promoted me to GS-14. They kept me off audits of IRS for all mut 3 years 1986-1988. They always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance. They forced me to take their early retirement “offer” when I was 49 in 1997.)

GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— Political parties exist to help elect candidates who can and will defend and advance their platform. The Republican Party platform is conservative. Unlike the Democrat Party, the Republican Party allows those who reject most, if not virtually all, if not all of the planks in the Republican Party platform to run as Republican candidates and to serve as Republican elected officials and Republican party leaders. Most commonly, they reject the personal responsibility, traditional marriage and family, right to life, immigration, illegal drugs, Second Amendment, and/or equal opportunity (no race of gender based preference giving) planks. I should write a book about the aforesaid candidates, elected officials, and party leaders in Illinois, in DuPage County, in Milton Township, and in Wheaton who reject the most planks in the Republican Party platform and who have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me. – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com
— What discourages you from helping elect candidates? For me, it is my being blamed for their defeats. I should write a book about that. I would focus on those Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct since 2000 who have suffered defeats and whose major donors, political consultants, fundraisers, pollsters, campaign managers, campaign staff members, and campaign volunteers have blamed me and my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters the most for their defeats. Most commonly, they do not want to be linked to Trump and/or the Republican Party platform in any way. Most commonly, they want to run as Democrat Lite, RINO, anti-conservative, if not anti-Republican. Most commonly, they charge me with including links to articles in my newsletters that make them look “too conservative.” Notwithstanding the aforesaid, so far, I have a) hand-delivered to the 400 residences in my precinct that have at least one Republican and/or one Independent registered voter a copy of the sample ballot and campaign literature from the eight of the thirteen candidates on the ballot that was provided to the Milton Township Republican Organization using mailing labels with R or NA on them from the DuPage County Election Division. Further, I am displaying beautiful expensive 4X4 “Vote Republican” signs on Roosevelt Road and Orchard Road. According to my critics/opponents, the aforesaid will cost the aforesaid candidates many votes. What are your comments? – Dave Diersen
