https://johnkassnews.com/democrat-anguish-will-only-get-worse/

GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— Democrat leaders ever-increasingly replace those who have demographics that vote for Republicans with those who have demographics that vote for Democrats. That is, Democrat leaders ever-increasingly replace those who are conservative, White, male, older, non-poor, Protestant, German American, and/or have ancestors who have been in America for a long time with those who are liberal/moderate, minority, female, younger, poor, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or have ancestors who have not been in America for a long time. I should write about the success that Democrat leaders have had doing that in DuPage County, Milton Township, Wheaton, Wheaton Warrenville School District 200, and my precinct. – Dave Diersen

— Did you have to work your way through college? I did. That harmed my GPA. I should write about my critics/opponents who have used my having to work my way through college against me the most. They stress a) that my ACT score was only 24, b) that I only just barely made it into the upper 20% of my high school class, c) that I got no scholarships, and d) that no Ivy League University would have accepted me. I would focus on my critics/opponents whose parents had lots of money, who bought them cars, who paid for their college expenses, and who got them jobs. Instead of studying, I worked far too many hours a) washing dishes during my junior and senior years in high school and b) delivering mail while to took classes at UIC 1966-1968 and at NIU in 1969. – Dave Diersen

—  While I worked for the Democrats who ran the federal government for almost 30 years, I ever-increasingly complained about their political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, religious discrimination, and national origin discrimination. I ever-increasingly complained about their use of Affirmative Action, DEI, up-or-out, the veterans preference, and budget cuts to get rid of their Republican employees. When I was 40 years old in 1988, I became an active member in a class action lawsuit that charged them with reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation. My critics/opponents have always ignored/dismissed/belittled/badmouthed the aforesaid. I should write about my critics/opponents. I would focus on my critics/opponents who have used the aforesaid against me the most. SEE: https://gopillinois.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/DiersenGAOFifthAmendedComplaint.pdf – Dave Diersen

— There are very few Black CPAs. To keep my Black CPA subordinate from leaving GAO, my Democrat GAO superiors forced me to retire and gave him my job and my preferred corner office when I was 49 years old in 1997. He had less work experience than I had. He had less education than I had. He had one professional certification while I had six. He was not a licensed CPA like I was. I should write about the aforesaid. – Dave Diersen

ILLINOIS POLICY INSTITUTE
— Vallas: Illinois returning to soft bigotry of low expectations. Illinois students are not learning, but instead of boosting the quality of education state leaders are trying to lower standards so scores don’t look as bad.
