WGN9
— 11 jurors chosen for Michael Madigan trial, three men and eight women. (COMMENT: Everyone should get a jury of their peers. The less “jury appeal” that you have, the more likely that you will lose. Madigan has little jury appeal, but I have even less. Because few, if not very few, if not extremely few of the potential jurors in Diersen v. GAO would have shared my demographics, my 7th Amendment rights were denied, that is, GAO was granted summary judgement and I was denied a jury trial. The judges and justices concluded that I could not win, that is, that I could not get a fair trial. My demographics are terrible. I am conservative, Republican, White, male, older, married, non-veteran, Protestant, German American, my ancestors have been in America since 1844. I do not have serious health, financial, or other problems. I have three master’s degrees and six professional certifications. I became a licensed CPA when I was 32 in 1981. In Diersen v. GAO, potential jurors would have been liberal/moderate, Democrat, minority, female, younger, unmarried, veteran, non-Protestant, non-German American, have ancestors who have not been in America for a long time, have health, financial, and/or other problems, have less education than I have, have no professional certifications or fewer than I have, have no professional license like the one I have, etc.)

(COMMENT: To get more votes from women, Harris does, as do all Democrat and RINO candidates do, hints/implies/argues/shouts that if elected, that they will use government to give women even more preference, that is, they will use government to discriminate against men even more.

— Kane County Auditor election features incumbent Wegman, challenger Butler (COMMENT: Since 1997, leaders of the DuPage County Republican Central Committee (DCRCC) have done everything they could to discourage me from running for DuPage County Auditor, a) even though I have never come close to hinting that I might want to do that and b) even though I did everything that I could to help elect Jim Rasins in 2000 and 2004 and Bob Grogan in 2008, 2012, 2016, and 2020 and I am doing everything that I can to help elect him this year. They have ignored, dismissed, belittled, and badmouthed my qualifications. I worked for GAO 1980-1997, the last 11 years of which at the GS-13 Step 1-10 Levels, currently $115-439-$150,075/year: I worked for IRS 1971-1980, the last 5 1/2 years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 Levels, currently $97,079-$110,020/year. I became a licensed CPA in 1981. I passed the Certified Internal Auditor Examination on my first attempt in 1981. I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979. I became a Certified Fraud Examiner in 1990, Government Financial Manager in 1994, Financial Services Auditor in 1996, and Forensic Accountant in 1997. I earned master’s degrees in business in 1976, accounting in 1980, and finance in 1997. I should write about the aforesaid. I would focus on those DCRCC leaders who have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me.)

— Illegals are taking jobs held by minorities. If there had been as many illegals when I was young as there are today, they would have gotten the jobs that I got. My critics/opponents have always accused me of taking jobs and getting promotions that should have been given to minorities. They were especially furious when IRS promoted me in 1972, 1973, and 1974 and when GAO promoted me in 1986. They were overjoyed when my Democrat GAO superiors forced me to retire and gave my job and my preferred corner office to my Black subordinate in 1997.

FROM ILLINOIS CENTER-RIGHT SOURCES

GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— Republican candidates on the ballot in my precinct are going to lose November 5, 2024. Postmortems will again be conducted by the Milton Township Republican Organization, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Illinois Republican Party (IRP). They will all again conclude that my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters caused all the losses. They will again charge me with painting Republican candidates as being more conservative than they should be painted. According to them, Republican candidates can win only if they run as Democrat Lite, RINO, anti-conservative, and/or anti-Republican. They are furious that I stress that the Republican Party platform is conservative and that if you run and win as a Republican, you are obligated to defend and advance the Republican Party platform. They are especially furious that I stress in my newsletters the personal responsibility, traditional marriage and family, right to life, immigration, illegal drugs, Second Amendment, and equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) planks. They want the aforesaid planks to be officially stricken from the platform. They are filled with hatred against Trump. Since 2015, to discourage/stop me from sending out my newsletters, they a) removed me from the IRP State Convention Platform and Resolutions Committee, b) ended my service as the Republican fundraiser for Wheaton Independence Day parades and fireworks, c) ended by bid to be selected to fill a Wheaton City Council West District vacancy, and d) gerrymandered my precinct. – Dave Diersen

FEDERATION FOR AMERICAN IMMIGRATION REFORM
— India: “Donkey Flights” the Latest Trend in Illegal Immigration
https://www.fairus.org/blog/2024/10/11/india-donkey-flights-latest-trend-illegal-immigration
(FROM THE ARTICLE: As with so many other nationalities, the number of illegal aliens from India has surged under the Biden-Harris administration. Between fiscal year 2021 and August 2024, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) had encountered over 274,000 illegal aliens from India. Indian illegal aliens have used a wide variety of routes to reach the U.S., with the rise of “Donkey Flights” being an interesting development. So-called “Donkey Flights” take their name from the 2023 Bollywood film Dunki, a comedy about Indian illegal immigrants named after the Punjabi slang for “hopping from place to place.” These flights see Indian nationals hopping between countries with weak visa requirements until they get to, or close to, the U.S. border. The donkey flights to the U.S. typically take Indians to Ecuador, then transport them to the Darien Gap and through Central America to the U.S. border. Other routes include shuttle flights from Nicaragua. The “weak passport” of India means that Indian nationals motivated to do this have only a limited number of countries they can hop through. The donkey flight trips are facilitated by fake travel agencies, known colloquially as “donkers.” Often, they promise to secure a legitimate visa in exchange for a large fee. Once the fee is paid, the applicant is told, usually after a short time delay, that the application was rejected. In reality, no application was ever made. However, the donker then helpfully offers to facilitate an illegal journey instead. In some cases, the pretense of obtaining a genuine visa is absent from the start, and the agency semi-openly offers illegal smuggling services. The Indian government has identified donker illegal travel agencies that advertise services for smuggling Indians into one of their three main choices of countries: the U.K., Canada and the U.S.  Upon arrival, they often file fraudulent asylum claims. Some Indian nationals are even candid enough to admit the asylum claim is fraudulent, and a cover for the real motive, which is economic gain.)
