SPRINGFIELD STATE JOURNAL REGISTER
— Views differ on getting things done under ethics cloud – Bernard Schoenburg
(DIERSEN: Government is nasty. Politics is nasty. Have you been put under an
ethics cloud? In 1974, when I was a 25 year old GS-11 (currently $68,897/year)
IRS employee, I was one of an extremely few IRS employees who was not a
Democrat, minority, female, veteran, non-Protestant, and/or non-German
American. My IRS superiors were under tremendous pressure a) to hire, retain,
and promote young Democrat minorities and young Democrat females and b) to make
way for them by getting rid of their employees who were Republican, White,
male, and/or non-veteran who had not made GS-13 (currently $98,198) by age 25,
GS-14 (currently $116,040) by age 30, GS-15 (currently $136,495) by age 35, and
Senior Executive Service (currently $165,500) by age 40. To get rid of me, and
to retaliate against me for complaining about political affiliation
discrimination and reverse discrimination, my Democrat IRS superiors put me
under an ethics cloud. They hinted/implied/argued/shouted that my travel
vouchers were fraudulent. SEE: https://www.gao.gov/products/463866 Of
course, that ended whatever IRS career that I might have had. They would not
have done that if I had been a Democrat, minority, female, and/or
veteran.)

NEW YORK TIMES
— DISGUSTING, TRAGIC: In Virginia Suburbs, Republicans Sound a Lot Like
Democrats The off-year state legislative elections next Tuesday will test
whether Republicans can appeal to anti-Trump voters by running on issues that
Democrats usually espouse. – Reid J. Epstein (DIERSEN: Political parties exist
to help elect candidates who can/will defend/advance their platform. If you do
not defend/advance the Republican Party platform, you should not seek or hold
any kind of government or political office as a Republican.)
https://www.nytimes.com/2019/10/31/us/politics/virginia-elections-republicans.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: As
Glenn Davis seeks a fourth term in Virginia’s House of Delegates, he is going
door to door with campaign literature touting his role in expanding Medicaid,
his efforts to address gun violence and his support for L.G.B.T.Q.
anti-discrimination legislation. There’s a photo of him with the state’s
Democratic governor, Ralph Northam. Yet Mr. Davis is a Republican. He voted
with his party to adjourn a special legislative session on gun control that Mr.
Northam called this summer — 90 minutes after it began. When he campaigned for lieutenant
governor in 2017, he said he was “running to do exactly what Donald Trump did
in Washington.” Now, he is among a coterie of Republicans who are campaigning
on issues long identified with Democrats ahead of Tuesday’s elections for the
Virginia legislature, shifting away from a Republican base that in the age of
Trump can no longer win suburban elections on its own. “We have a little bit of
a messaging issue, we do,” Mr. Davis said in an interview this week.)

that the following took adverse actions against me because I am a White
supremacist, Nazi, KKK member, hater, racist, sexist, bigot, and even worse
things: my Democrat superiors in the federal government and the leaders of the
Milton Township Republican Central Committee, TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois,
Wheaton Chamber of Commerce, Illinois Center Right Coalition, American
Association of Political Consultants Midwest Chapter, Wheaton, Milton Township,
DuPage County, Illinois, etc. Better yet, I should sue them.)

— Americans Trust Local News. That Belief Is Being Exploited. A growth in
impostor local news that promotes ideological agendas. – Brendan Nyhan
(DIERSEN: Diersen fully discloses everything about him and about his GOPUSA
ILLINOIS emails. Of course, Diersen’s critics/opponents, their operatives, and their
dupes use that information against Diersen and against his GOPUSA ILLINOIS
emails. Diersen should write a book about his critics/opponents, their
operatives, and their dupes. Diersen should focus on those who claim to be
religious, conservative, and/or Republican.)
https://www.nytimes.com/2019/10/31/upshot/fake-local-news.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: All
of them originate with a company called Locality Labs L.L.C., which created
similar networks of questionable local websites in Illinois and Maryland, and
state and local business and legal sites around the country. There’s little
information about these sites. They typically lack mastheads, local addresses
and clear disclosure of their ownership or revenue sources. Voters could easily
become confused about the origins of information from these seemingly innocuous
local-sounding outlets. In 2016, for example, websites in the Illinois network
interviewed Republican candidates favored by a conservative state political
committee, which then paid to mail print newspaper versions of the sites to
voters without identifying them as political advertising.)

DCRCC, and IRP for almost 20 years. I have lived in Wheaton, Milton Township,

books about political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age
discrimination, and retaliation. SEE: https://gopillinois.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/DiersenGAOFifthAmendedComplaint.pdf Further,
I am qualified to write books about publishing online newsletters. I have been
