— In the second quarter of 2026, a household needed to earn roughly $101,075 a year to afford the median-priced home in the Chicago area. DD: Back in the good old days, back when I was 24 in 1972, I was able to buy a new townhome in University Park. SEE: https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/774-Sunset-Ct-5-University-Park-IL-60484/5451474_zpid/ . But it had only 1,000 square feet. In today’s dollars, I paid about $180,000 for it and the down payment would have been about $36,000. In today’s dollars, my IRS Revenue Officer salary had just increased from $56,409/year to $68,999/year. The down payment came from what I had earned working for IRS for 15 months and for a Firestone Store part-time for 18 months and full-time for 7 months before that. According to Zillow, the townhome is currently worth $86.400. That says worlds about real estate values in University Park.

— The Democrat Party platform promotes poverty and crime because it promotes a) dependency on government and charity, b) LGBTQ, that is, the destruction of traditional marriage and family, c) abortion, that is, disrespect for human life, d) mass/illegal immigration, e) booze, gambling, pot, and other vices, f) diminishment of Second Amendment rights, and g) Affirmative Action and DEI, that is, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, religious discrimination, and national origin discrimination. I was born way back in 1948. If I had been born later, because of ever-increasing Democrat success in advancing the aforesaid, I would not have been able to achieve what I did. Because I followed conservative principles, I was able to a) work my way through college and earn a job-related bachelor’s degree in 1970 when I was 21, job-related master’s degrees when I was 27, 31, and 48, job-related professional certifications when I was 30, 32, 41, 45, 47, and 48, and a job-related professional license when I was 32; b) buy new cars when I was 17, 19, 20, 23, 25, 29, etc.; c) buy real estate when I was 24, 25, 27, 29, 35, etc.; d) get married when I was 29: e) take many luxury vacations with my wife in connection with her many business trips when I was 29-43; f) buy collector cars when I was 40 and 45; g) save lots for my retirement; and h) etc. Were it not for my Democrat superiors, I could have achieved much more. But according to my critics/opponents, I owe all my achievements to my benefitting from discrimination against those who are liberal/moderate, minority, female, younger, veteran, unmarried, LGBTQ, non-rich, non-Protestant, non-German American, have ancestors who have not been in America for a long time, and/or are in America illegally. – Dave Diersen

It is called redistributing wealth to get votes. Generally, those who are the aforesaid have more retirement income or will have more retirement income than those who are not the aforesaid. What will Pritzker do to take away from me my Civil Service Retirement System pension, my Social Security, and my retirement savings? Anticipate/expect that soon, Pritzker will tax retirement income. Further, anticipate/expect that soon, Pritzker will impose a graduated income tax.

The Republican leaders welcomed the invading Democrats with open arms. To get their votes, they promised to get rid of conservative Republicans and they did. Anticipate/expect that the Democrat leaders will ever-increasingly get rid of the remaining Republicans. I should write about the aforesaid. I would focus on how the aforesaid Republican leaders have treated a) my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters, b) the Illinois Center Right Coalition, b) TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois, c) Wheaton Independence Day parades and fireworks, and d) me. – Dave Diersen

The problem for Republicans who vote with their feet is that Democrats vote with their feet too. My wife and I have lived in DuPage County, Milton Township, and Wheaton since 1978 because of the prosperity and safety that Republicans created there. But ever-increasingly, Democrats have hypocritically invaded DuPage County, Milton Township, and Wheaton to take advantage of the prosperity and safety that Republicans created there. When Democrats invade, poverty and crime increase because they vote Democrats. The Democrat Party platform creates poverty and crime.

DD: Because my father had brittle type 1 diabetes from childhood, everyone advised him to avoid stress by not seeking a college degree and by getting an office job. He took stenography, that is, shorthand, in high school. He worked in the office of a nasty chemical plant on Chicago Heights from 1940 until he died suddenly of heart failure in 1969 when he was 47 and I was 21. In today’s dollars, he never earned more than $76,000/year. After my wife graduated from high school, she worker as stenographer for the FBI for 2 years.
