— Woke RINOs Hand Over Their Guns To The Government, After Pretending To Support The 2nd Amendment – BRUCE LEVELL
(DIERSEN: Political parties exist to help elect candidates who can and will defend and advance their platform. I should write a book about RINO elected officials and RINO party leaders who only pretend to support the following planks in the Republican Party platform: traditional marriage/family, right to life, immigration, illegal drugs, Second Amendment, and/or equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving). I should write a book about RINO elected officials and RINO party leaders in Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois who could and should have joined me in speaking out against Wheaton’s stopping Republicans from helping sponsor Wheaton’s 2021 Independence Day Parade and Fireworks.)

— Biden Executive Order Mandates Divisive, Unscientific Race ‘Training’ At Every Level Of The Federal Government – MICHAEL GINSBERG
(DIERSEN: How many people do you know who have taken lots of diversity training? The Democrats who run the federal government require all their employees to take lots of diversity training. I worked for the Democrats who ran the federal government for almost 30 years. I should write a book about all the diversity training that I took. That training hinted/implied/argued/shouted that Republicans are White supremacists, Nazis, KKK members, haters, racists, sexists, bigots, and even worse things who should gotten rid of once and for all. That helps explain why federal employees who are Democrat do not want to work for, work with, or supervise federal employees who are Republican. Virtually all federal employees are Democrats.)
