CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— Illinois center Eva Rubin manages diabetes, advocating for others while working on social justice and mental health campaigns: ‘She’s passionate about everything she does’ – SHANNON RYAN
(DIERSEN: The following frustrates my managing my type 2 diabetes: a) the stress caused by spending 10+ hours each and every day putting a GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletter together and sending them out each and every morning and each and every evening, b) the sleep that I lose because I do the aforesaid, and c) the exercise that I miss because I do the aforesaid. My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes who claim to be religious, conservative, and/or Republican know full-well that their efforts to stop me from sending the newsletters out and their efforts to stop everyone from reading those newsletters cause me lots of stress and frustrates my efforts to manage my type 2 diabetes. My father died suddenly in 1969 when he was 47 years old because of heart failure brought on by his having type 1 diabetes from age 14.)

KANKAKEE DAILY JOURNAL
— Claims of white supremacy are only meant to divide us further – Alan Webber
(DIERSEN: How soon, if not already, will Democrat and RINO leaders of the following officially get rid of you if you fail/refuse to join them in promoting hatred against Whites: your municipality, your township, your county, Illinois, the organizations that you are a member of, and your employer if you are still employed?)

(DIERSEN: White privilege and white supremacy are the Democrats’ new dog whistle as people have become immune to being called a racist. Joe Biden tosses those terms out just about daily now. They are meant to divide us, and I suspect most informed people, regardless of color, have figured this out as well. I certainly don’t expect any of my friends and acquaintance of color to be any more or less satisfied of their heritage than I am, as we are all equal in this country and the eyes of our maker. A person should be proud of their birthright. To force employees into mandatory training to instruct Caucasians to be less white is absurd … and racist. And who determined racism only comes in white? It is uncertain if the program was part of author Robin DeAngelo’s ongoing attempts to paint all white people as racist. She’s white and made a career writing books on the matter, one a best-seller, and teaches classes on the subject. Only after the backlash did she start denying she was involved with Coke, but Linkedin Learning used parts of her material. She’s obviously been doing well with leftists, college kids, and spineless woke executives.)

My critics/opponents stress that their operatives and their dupes ended my TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois chairmanship, my Wheaton Chamber of Commerce Government Affairs Committee membership, my Milton Township Republican Organization webmaster service, my Illinois Center Right Coalition Steering Committee membership, and my American Association of Political Consultants Midwest Chapter board membership. My critics/opponents stress those in the aforesaid organizations who could have come to my defense, but failed/refused to do so. What do you say to the aforesaid who read my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters, but who fail/refuse to take/return my phone calls?
