— FRONT PAGE WITH COLOR PHOTO OF KIRK: Health questions remain, but Sen. Kirk won’t release medical records.  Observers worry stroke may have affected his judgment. – Jeff Coen and Rick Pearson  (DIERSEN: If you are involved in government or in politics, sooner or later, your critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes will demonize, denigrate, and condemn your judgment.  My Democrat superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates in the federal government demonized, denigrated, and condemned my judgment because I did not become a Democrat, because I complained about reverse discrimination, because I complained about age discrimination, because I complained about political affiliation discrimination, and because I became an active member in a class action lawsuit that charged the aforesaid.  Democrat plants, Libertarian plants, Green plants, and RINOs in the Milton Township Republican Central Committee (MTRCC), DuPage County Republican Central Committee, Illinois Republican Party, TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois, Wheaton Chamber of Commerce, Illinois Center Right Coalition, American Association of Political Consultants, etc. demonize, denigrate, and condemn my judgment because I support a) all the planks in the Republican Party platform, b) all the planks in the Illinois Republican Party platform, and c) the MTRCC resolution against video gambling.)

— For some low-income workers, retirement is only a dream – AP  (DIERSEN: Are you non-veteran, White, male, and/or older?  Are/were you accused of being overpaid?  My critics/opponents have always accused me of being overpaid. In my defense, I earned a) a job-related bachelor’s degree when I was 21 and job-related master’s degrees when I was 27, 31, and 48, b) job-related professional certifications when I was 30, 32, 41, 45, 47, and 48, and c) a job-related professional license when I was 33.)

— Chicagoans with less than college degree have had weakest earnings recovery – Alexia Elejalde-Ruiz  (DIERSEN: Who thinks/thought that you are/were not “college material?”  I should write a book about those who thought that I was not “college material.”  They stressed that neither of my parents attended college, that except for my father, none of my ancestors had earned a high school diploma, and that my mother never attended high school.)

— Poll: Clinton gaining ground with young voters – AP  (DIERSEN: How old are you?  I am 68.  Democrat candidates hint/imply/argue/shout at younger people that if elected, they will use government to give young people preference, that is, that they will discriminate against older people.)
http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/nationworld/sns-bc-us–ap-poll-campaign-2016-young-americans-20161025-story.html
— In emails, Clinton campaign measures diversity among staff  (DIERSEN: What are your demographics?  While I worked for the federal government for almost 30 years, my superiors always measured “diversity among staff.”  Constructively, Democrat politicians forced them a) to hire, to retain, and to promote young Democrats, and especially young Democrats who were minority and/or female and b) make way for them by getting rid of their employees who were Republican, White, male, older, and/or non-veteran.)
