— College degrees no longer a requirement for people applying for an Elgin police job – GLORIA CASAS
(DIERSEN: Democrats run the federal government. Since the 1960s, they have lowered or eliminated many hiring and promotion requirements to help them hire and promote Democrats, and especially Democrats who are minority, female, and/or younger. GAO hired me in 1980 because it could not find a qualified Democrat, minority, female, younger person, or veteran who would take the job. IRS hired me in 1971 because it could not find a qualified Democrat, minority, female, or veteran who would take the job. The Post Office hired me in 1966 because it could not find a qualified Democrat, minority, female, or veteran who would take the job.)

SPRINGFIELD STATE JOURNAL REGISTER
— Want your record expunged or sealed in Sangamon County? How to register for consideration
(DIERSEN: It would be great if I could get the adverse actions that my Democrat superiors in the federal government took against me expunged. My Democrat GAO superiors forced me to retire in 1997 when I was 49 years old, gave me unfair performance expectations and appraisals, always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes, did not promote me beyond GS-13, got rid of my mentor in 1987, kept me off audits of IRS for all but 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for GAO, and forced me to take a $20,361 (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980. My Democrat IRS superiors did not promote me beyond GS-12, disallowed my education deductions in 1978, got rid of my mentor in 1975, and disallowed my partial day per diem claims in 1974. My Democrat Post Office superiors forced me to resign in 1969 and disallowed my sick leave requests in 1969 and 1968. It would be great if I could get the adverse actions that RINOs in the following have taken against me: Milton Township Republican Organization, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, Illinois Republican Party, Wheaton Park District, TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois, Wheaton Chamber of Commerce, Illinois Center Right Coalition, American Association of Political Consultants Midwest Chapter, Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois.)

WASHINGTON TIMES
— Democrats’ gaslighting of America: Read or watch the corrupt media at your own risk – Robert Knight
(DIERSEN: I should write a book about RINO leaders in Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois a) who never speak out against the corrupt media, b) who focus on stopping me from sending out GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters, and c) who focus on stopping everyone from reading those newsletters.)
https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2021/jul/4/democrats-gaslighting-of-america-read-or-watch-the/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: For decades, America’s media elites have engaged in selective gaslighting. A prime example occurred in 1968 when CBS’s Walter Cronkite and others parroted communist propaganda that Americans and South Vietnamese “lost” the Tet Offensive. In actuality, the Viet Cong were devastated despite aid from North Vietnam. But the false reports of a major American defeat morphed into a mantra that the war was unwinnable. Today, the media commit Tet-level offenses every day. It’s stunning. Often, they parrot absurd Democrat talking points. At other times, they present “settled science” that is not remotely “settled.”)

(DIERSEN: My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes whose ancestors have not been in America for a long time stress a) that all my ancestors immigrated during the 1840s and 1850s and b) that my ancestors on my father’s side homesteaded a farm in Crete in 1854. In my defense, I stress that they always lived in northeast Illinois.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: That smuggler, who was in the middle of transporting migrants, said that crossing the Rio Grande river was more difficult under former Presidents Barack Obama and Donald Trump, adding that migrants are coming to the U.S. right now because President Joe Biden is giving them asylum. “[Daily Caller’s Jorge Ventura] asked one of the smugglers if it is easier to cross the river under Biden. He said yes because Biden is giving the migrants asylum,” Townhall reporter Julio Rosas said. “He also said it was harder to cross the border under Obama/Trump because U.S. boats would patrol the river day and night,” he explained.)

— Elephants step into the valley on the Fourth – Megan Lee
(DIERSEN: In 2007, I had the honor of recruiting Republicans and Republican organizations to sponsor two outstanding Wheaton Independence Day Parade entries: The Chicago Highlanders Pipes and Drums band and Big Queenie, a 38-year-old, 10,000 pound Asian female elephant. With the elephant being the proud symbol of the Republican Party, I am very happy to report that Big Queenie won the parade’s Best Political Entry award.)
https://www.wkbn.com/news/local-news/elephants-step-into-the-valley-on-the-fourth/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The Austintown Parade had some new guests this year. Elephants Cindy and Janice walked with the Mahoning County Republican Party in the parade on Sunday. The Republican party said they wanted to do something “big” this year because of last year’s cancellation. They said that it not only symbolizes their party but it serves as a sign of strength. “We also think it shows strength, it’s the Fourth of July, we’re having a great crowd in Austintown… and I just think it was a great time to bring elephants out. Like I said, coming out of COVID, coming off a great victory in November in Mahoning County, we won it for the first time since 1972,” said Mahoning County party chairman Tom McCabe.)

I would focus on unsuccessful Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct, their major donors, their political consultants, their fundraisers, their campaign managers, their campaign staff members, and their campaign volunteers. I would focus on past and present leaders of the Illinois Republican Party, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, Milton Township Republican Organization, Illinois, DuPage County, Milton Township, Wheaton, religious organizations, and conservative organizations.
