— Will Nikki Haley supporters break party rank and vote for Kamala Harris? Kamala Harris’ presidential campaign is courting Nikki Haley supporters while former President Donald Trump is relying on Haley’s endorsement to boost his campaign in key swing states. Those Haley voters — nearly one million coming from battleground states — could help decide the race. (COMMENT: Trump won the Republican primary. For a Republican to not vote for Trump is to vote for Harris. Anticipate/expect that all my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes will vote for Harris. What does that say about my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes?)

CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— FRONT PAGE WITH BIG PICTURE: GOP leader Tony McCombie tries to ‘sell hope’ in uphill battle to cut into Democratic stranglehold on state legislature (COMMENT: How effective have Democrat and RINO leaders been in promoting hatred against Trump in your congressional district, in your county, in your township, in your municipality, and in your precinct?)
https://www.chicagotribune.com/2024/10/21/gop-leader-tries-to-sell-hope-in-uphill-battle-to-cut-into-democratic-stranglehold-on-state-legislature/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Republicans will try to chip away at the Democratic Party’s virtually unassailable control of the Illinois General Assembly in next month’s election, a task that may not be made any easier by the political polarization that starts at the top of the ballot. In a decidedly blue state, former President Donald Trump’s candidacy could hurt the GOP in legislative swing districts, said John Shaw, director of the Paul Simon Public Policy Institute at Southern Illinois University at Carbondale. “I think there is a guilt-by-association thing going on or a guilt-by-association possibility for Republicans who are running down ballot in swing districts, and even districts that maybe trend just a little bit Republican,” Shaw said. Trump is “radioactive” not only to Democrats but also to many independents and some Republicans, Shaw said, which Democrats make clear they will try to use in their favor.)

https://www.dailyherald.com/20241020/news/ready-to-vote-early-voting-expands-across-the-suburbs-monday/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: More than 50,000 suburban voters already have cast their ballots since early voting started Sept. 26, election officials report. Most early voting has happened at county clerks offices or select locations throughout the suburbs. . .This year, early voting and vote-by-mail requests are lagging a bit behind 2020. According to the Illinois State Board of Elections, there were already 177,652 votes cast in 2020 by this time in the election cycle. As of Thursday, roughly 151,000 voters have cast their ballots across the state, Dietrich said. . .As of early Friday in DuPage County, nearly 31,000 voters had already turned out for in-person voting.)

— Republican candidates, elected officials, and party leaders are under ever-increasing pressure from Democrat and RINO leaders to dump planks in the Republican Party platform, to move to the left, and to become Democrat Lite, RINO, anti-conservative, if not anti-Republican. How successful have Democrat and RINO leaders been doing the aforesaid in your congressional district, in your county, in your township, and in your municipality? – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com
— To promote DEI is to promote race and gender based preference giving, patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, religious discrimination, and national origin discrimination. To promote DEI is to harm those who are conservative, Republican, White, male, older, non-veteran, Protestant, German American, and/or have ancestors who have been in America for a long time. What do you say to those who have the aforesaid demographics, but promote DEI anyway? It seems that they want to curry favor with those who are liberal/moderate, Democrat, Libertarian, Green, Independent, RINO, minority, female, younger, veteran, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or have ancestors who have been in America for a long time. – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com
— Have you had to pay the price of Affirmative Action (AA) and DEI, that is, have you had to pay the price of race and gender based preference giving, patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, religious discrimination, and national origin discrimination? Beyond overwhelmingly, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have not. My Democrat superiors in the federal government used AA and DEI to waste my career and to get rid of me. All my coworkers who they promoted over me were Democrats who were minority, female, younger than me, veteran, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or had ancestors who had not been in America for a long time. They all had less work experience than I had, less education than I had, had no professional certifications or fewer than I had, and/or had no professional license like the one I had. My Democrat Post Office superiors denied my sick leave requests and forced me to resign. My Democrat IRS superiors disallowed my travel vouchers and education deductions and never promoted me beyond GS-12. My Democrat GAO superiors forced me to take a 21% pay cut to transfer from IRS to GAO, delayed my promotions, never promoted me beyond GS-13, always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance, and forced me to retire when I was 49 in 1997. – Dave Diersen

— What helps those who are the following avoid having to pay the price of Affirmative Action and DEI, that is, avoid having to pay the price of race and gender based preference giving, patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, religious discrimination, and national origin discrimination: conservative, Republican, White, male, older, non-veteran, Protestant, German American, and/or have ancestors who have been in America for a long time? Beyond overwhelmingly, it is having wealthy parents. I should write a book about my critics/opponents whose parents have/had lots of money. I would focus on those whose parents bought them cars, paid for their college expenses, got them jobs, etc. – Dave Diersen

— Did you have to work your way through college? I did, and my critics/opponents have always used that against me. They have always hinted/implied/argued/shouted that my not getting any scholarships shows that I was not college material. They have always stressed that my ACT score was only 24 and that I only just barely made it into upper 20% of my high school class. In my defense, I stress that instead of studying, I spent far too much time washing dishes while I was in high school and delivering mail while I was earning my bachelor’s degree.

I encountered another one yesterday while I went to the 24 homes in my precinct that have registered Republican voters who have requested VBM ballots but have not yet returned them. I delivered a letter from the Milton Township Republican Organization that encourages them to return the ballots. I encouraged that voter to not punish Republicans by voting for the Democrat down ballot candidates on our ballot. – Dave Diersen

— What do you say to Republican voters who are ever-increasingly considering leaving Illinois because of Democrat domination of Illinois? I encountered another one yesterday while I went to the 24 homes in my precinct that have registered Republican voters who have requested VBM ballots but have not yet returned them. I delivered a letter from the Milton Township Republican Organization that encourages them to return the ballots. I encouraged that voter to consider DuPage County’s history. To hypocritically take advantage of the prosperity and safety that Republicans created in DuPage County, Democrats rapidly invaded, infested, and conquered DuPage County. The more prosperous and safe that an area is, the faster that you should anticipate/expect that Democrats will invade it, infest it, and conquer it. – Dave Diersen

I encouraged that voter to vote in Illinois because the down ballot Republican candidates need their vote. – Dave Diersen

— What discourages you the most from helping elect Republican candidates? For me, it is knowing that my critics/opponents in the Milton Township Republican Organization, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Illinois Republican Party will blame me and will blame my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters for defeats that Republican candidates on the ballot in my precinct will suffer. The more that I do to help elect a candidate who loses, the more that they blame me and my newsletters for that candidate’s defeat. My critics/opponents are Democrat Lite, RINO, anti-conservative, if not anti-Republican and they want Republican candidates to run that way. Further, they are anti-Trump if not Trump-haters and they want Republican candidates to run that way. – Dave Diersen

— What are your reasons for living? Mine include defending and advancing conservative principles with GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters. My critics/opponents reject some, many, most, virtually all, if not all conservative principles. Most commonly, they reject the personal responsibility, traditional marriage and family, right to life, immigration, illegal drugs, Second Amendment, and/or equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) planks in the Republican Party platform. I defend and advance conservative principles because I attribute my successes in life to following them. – Dave Diersen

— Leading advocate for developmentally-disabled, Dan Proft looks for a new charity
https://chicagocitywire.com/stories/665259221-it-s-unfortunate-leading-advocate-for-developmentally-disabled-proft-looks-for-a-new-charity
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The Envision Classic charity golf tournament, scheduled for Sept. 30 at Olympia Fields, was cancelled. Its organizer, radio host and political commentator Dan Proft, was removed last month from the volunteer board of Envision Unlimited, the event’s beneficiary. In its fifth year, Proft said the event was set to raise $600,000-$700,000 for Envision, a leading Chicago non-profit that runs employment programs for intellectually and developmentally-disabled (“IDD”) adults. Envision runs day and employment programming for IDD adults who have aged out of the state system. A longtime public advocate for such IDD programs, and a sharp-tongued critic of state leaders—mostly Democrat— for “funding IDD programs last, when they should be first,” the conservative Proft co-existed for six years on the Envision board amidst Chicago’s left-wing political royalty he often has criticized. Fellow board members included Dan Durbin, nephew of U.S. Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL), and lobbyist Becky Carroll, formerly a top advisor to former President Barack Obama and current Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker. They tolerated Proft as the board’s top fundraiser, responsible for more than $1 million in private donations and in-kind support to Envision since 2018. But that tolerance ran its course. . .Proft said conservatives in Chicago and elsewhere should heed his experience. “I dodged the hangman’s noose for as long as I could but the lesson for conservatives is quite clear: in America at present, particularly where the identitarian Left is dominant as it is in Chicago, it is not worth your time and energy to assist any organization, even a charitable one, dominated by the Left,” Proft said. “Even the Leftists who otherwise want to get past political disagreements to focus on the mission at hand will more likely than not exhibit the cowardice Envision’s board and management did at the first sign of controversy.” “I will not again volunteer for or support any nonprofit than is dominated by men and women of the Left no matter how worthy the cause because, frankly, when the choice is forced by their fellow travelers they will invariably put their politics ahead of the cause,” he said. Proft told Chicago City Wire he has been approached by other IDD-focused charities in Chicago about helping them with fundraising, and that he will soon join one of them, continuing his public advocacy.)

AMAC
— What Do Church Teachings Really Tell Catholics About Immigration Policy
https://amac.us/newsline/society/what-do-church-teachings-really-tell-catholics-about-immigration-policy/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: First, although Church teachings affirm a God-given right to migrate, they do not condone rampant illegal migration without consequence that we are seeing today. A moral distinction exists between legal and illegal immigration. Upholding laws and maintaining order is not contrary to Catholic principles; rather, it reflects a moral obligation to protect communities and ensure justice in society. The reality of immigration currently is that most migrants who come to the United States illegally do not have a legal right to be here and are not fleeing persecution. At least 80 percent do not end up qualifying for asylum or refugee status. Supporting mass deportations is not a rejection of any migrant’s humanity, but a reflection of the importance of the rule of law and the proper order of immigration processes. Second, Church teaching clearly affirms that governments have a right to protect their borders, and scripture obliges us to respect laws that do not directly contravene Biblical teachings.)

He had less education than I had. He had one professional certification while I had six. He had no professional license like the one that I had had for 16 years. My Democrat GAO superiors flushed down their toilets what I had learned a) working for GAO for almost 18 years, the last 11 years of which at the GS-13 Step 1-10 Levels, currently $115,439-$150,076/year, b) working for IRS for almost 9 years, the last 5 1/2 years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 Levels, currently $97,079-$110,020/year, c) earning a CPA license, d) earning professional certifications in accounting, internal auditing, government financial management, financial services auditing, and forensic accounting, e) earning master’s degrees in business (Loyola), accounting (DePaul), and finance (IIT), and f) earning a bachelor’s degree in management (NIU).)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: The Republican whip who was one of the chief instigators of the disclosures, Representative Newt Gingrich of Georgia, pre-empted the ethics committee disclosures by releasing a statement earlier in the day explaining his 22 overdrafts, including a $9,463 check to the Internal Revenue Service in 1990. “I regret the errors with my checking account and apologize for them,” Mr. Gingrich said. “But one thing I do not apologize for is leading the fight for disclosure of all the names. Last year and last month the Democratic leadership tried to suppress the facts. I fought for disclosure even though I knew I would be opening myself to public embarrassment.” Mr. Gingrich released a letter from his accountant that said that none of the overdrafts were “associated with personal investments or with campaign funding.”)

According to my critics/opponents, I was able to do the aforesaid because I benefitted from discrimination against those who share their demographics (liberal/moderate, Democrat, Libertarian, Green, Independent, RINO, minority, female, younger, veteran, unmarried, LGBTQ, have dependents, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or have ancestors who have not been in America for a long time. In my defense, I stress that neither of my parents attended college, my father was only the first of my ancestors to earn a high school diploma, my mother never attended high school, and I had to work my way through college.

ILLINOIS POLICY INSTITUTE
— UNLOCKING OPPORTUNITY: HOW OCCUPATIONAL LICENSING REFORM WOULD PROMOTE EQUITABLE EMPOWERMENT IN ILLINOIS (COMMENT: Who do you know that has earned a professional license? I became a licensed CPA when I was 32 years old in 1981. Since then, my critics/opponents have ignored, dismissed, if not belittled that. I should write about that. Before I became a licensed CPA, I earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976, I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, I earned a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980, and I passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981. After I became a licensed CPA, I became a Certified Fraud Examiner in 1990, Government Financial Manager in 1994, Financial Services Auditor in 1996, and Forensic Accountant in 1997. I earned a master’s degree in financial markets and trading from IIT in 1997. My critics/opponents have ignored, dismissed, if not belittled the aforesaid.)
https://www.illinoispolicy.org/reports/unlocking-opportunity-how-occupational-licensing-reform-would-promote-equitable-empowerment-in-illinois/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A staggering 24.7% of Illinois’ workforce needs a license to work and another 5% are required to be workforce certified. That’s about 1.6 million Illinoisans who still need the government’s permission to work the job they want and another 326,000 who need certification. While the economic harms of these requirements are substantial and include 135,000 lost jobs and $15.08 billion in misallocated resources, the social harms are far greater. Occupational licensing disproportionately hurts minorities, the poor, women, and young workers most of all. It disproportionately impacts formerly incarcerated individuals trying to reengage with society. It’s radically inequitable. Two major negative consequences result from the state’s harmful occupational licensing laws. First, people who remain in Illinois, especially minorities and the poor, suffer from the unfair burden of occupational licensing. Second, those who can leave the state to seek opportunity elsewhere, do. Tens of thousands of our longtime neighbors leave our communities every year, doing irreparable harm.)

CITY JOURNAL
— DEI Captures the Treasury Department. How left-wing racialism is corrupting America’s national financial system. (COMMENT: White I worked for the Democrats who ran IRS 1971-1980, they ever-increasingly used Affirmative Action (AA) and DEI to get rid of their Republican employees. While I worked for the Democrats who GAO 1980-1997, they ever-increasingly used AA and DEI to get rid of their Republican employees.)
https://www.city-journal.org/article/dei-captures-the-treasury-department
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The Treasury Department is ground zero for the Biden administration’s “whole-of-government” DEI agenda. The agency, which serves as the guardian of the American financial system, has translated critical race and gender theories into official policy—all under the guise of “diversity, equity, and inclusion.” We have conducted an exclusive investigation that reveals the stunning capture of the Treasury, which, under the current DEI mandate, has worked to advance the principles of left-wing racialism, directing billions of dollars to favored racial and “underserved” groups, hiring a cadre of radical race “experts” to cement the new orthodoxy within the department, and considering potential auditees’ race in IRS tax investigations. This ideological shift started at the top. In her first months in office, Treasury secretary Janet Yellen sent a statement to the department’s workers that “commitment to the values of diversity, equity, and inclusion is expected of every employee.” She sent the statement on the anniversary of the May 2020 death of George Floyd, at 9:29 a.m., to symbolize the nine minutes and 29 seconds that police officer Derek Chauvin had pinned Floyd to the ground. The statement set the tone: the Treasury secretary had a new ideological agenda—and expected compliance all the way down. To implement this agenda, Yellen quickly built a centralized DEI apparatus within the department, establishing an official Equity Hub, tasked with implementing Biden’s executive orders on diversity, and an Advisory Committee on Racial Equity, made up of activists and executives. She also hired left-wing race activist Janis Bowdler as the department’s first Counselor for Racial Equity, a high-level position “charged with coordinating Treasury’s efforts to advance racial equity including engaging with diverse communities throughout the country.” Yellen and Bowdler wasted no time, working to advance some of Treasury’s most flagrant racial programs, which subordinated lending standards, federal contracting, hiring policy, and even IRS auditing rules to the new racial calculus. The most significant of these initiatives is the agency-wide effort to redirect billions of dollars toward supposedly oppressed racial groups and other “underserved communities.” In 2021, Vice President Kamala Harris and Secretary Yellen jointly announced $8.7 billion in investments to increase lending to “minority-owned businesses,” among other groups. Two years later, the Treasury announced that some 30 private companies were committed to raising $3 billion in deposits for “underserved communities,” to be delivered through community-development financial institutions (CDFIs) and minority depository institutions (MDIs).)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Two recent polls point to negative public perception of federal employees and how the government spends tax money.

Virtually all my coworkers were Democrats who did not use their personal time or money to improve their job skills. All my coworkers who my Democrat superiors promoted over me a) had less work experience than I had, had less education than I had, had no professional certifications than I had or fewer than I had, and/or had no professional license like the one I had and b) were Democrats who were minority, female, younger than me, veteran, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or had ancestors who had not been in America for a long time.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: The first Kmart opened in 1962 in Garden City, Mich., though the company’s roots go back much further, to a chain of S.S. Kresge variety stores that started in Michigan in 1899. Kmarts quickly spread across the country by offering everything from food to fashion, according to Mark A. Cohen, former chief executive of Sears Canada. “They grew to be an enormous feature in retailing back in the day,” Mr. Cohen said.)

CPA JOURNAL
— Against DEI (COMMENT: This article shows why my Democrat GAO superiors forced me to retire when I was 49 in 1997 and gave my job and my preferred corner office to my Black CPA subordinate. He was younger than I was. He had less work experience than I had. He had less education than I had. He had five fewer professional certifications than I had. He had no professional license like the CPA license I had had for 16 years.)
https://www.cpajournal.com/2024/10/14/against-dei-2/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Unfortunately, Equality of Merit and Equality of Opportunity rhetoric doesn’t hold up against the data. For example, the AICPA’s 2021 Trends report notes that in 2020 a mere 2% of qualified CPAs and partners were Black in the United States, while a mere 5% Latino/Hispanic were partners and CPAs. (Note that the 2023 report is available but does not breakdown analysis into qualified CPAs by race. The opening paragraph infers that this might be due to a poor response rate. Therefore, the most complete data freely available remains the 2021 Trends Report; see http://www.nysscpa.org/2021-trends .) Going back further, the 2015 AICPA Trends Report noted that new accounting Bachelor’s and Master’s graduates hired by CPA firms by race and ethnicity from 2000–2014 was 3% for Blacks/African Americans and Hispanic/Latino accountants. Compare this with the 2020 U.S. Census, which records African Americans (alone) as 12.4% of the populace and those of Latino/Hispanic origin 18.7%, and we see that accounting has a problem of Black and Brown representation compared to the population at large ( https://tinyurl.com/4yrnh5w3 ). This is a long-standing problem: Theresa Hammond, a noted historian of the African American accountant, has pointed out that in 1997 less than 1% of CPAs were Black. Hammond was also one of the first to chronicle African American disenfranchisement in the profession from its inception to modern times, citing that the first African American CPA did not exist until 1921 (A White-Collar Profession, University of North Carolina Press, 2002). She goes on to note that: African-Americans struggled against incredible barriers in order to become CPAs and were virtually invisible. (A.

GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— Which plank in the Democrat Party platform has had the biggest adverse impact on you? For me, it is the Affirmative Action (AA) and DEI plank, that is, the race and gender based preference giving plank, that is, the patronage plank, that is, the political affiliation discrimination plank, that is, the reverse discrimination plank, that is, the age discrimination plank, that is, the religious discrimination plank, and that is, the national origin discrimination plank. My Democrat superiors in the federal government used AA and DEI big time to waste my career and to get rid of me. They took many big adverse actions against me that they never would have if I had been a Democrat, minority, female, or veteran. My Democrat Post Office superiors disallowed my sick leave requests and forced me to resign. My Democrat IRS superiors disallowed my travel vouchers and education deductions and never promoted me beyond GS-12. My Democrat GAO superiors forced me to take a $22,996/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO. They gave me bad job assignments and unfair performance expectations and appraisals. They assigned me to supervise their most problematic employees. They delayed my promotions and never promoted me beyond GS-13. They always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes. They forced me to take their early retirement “offer” when I was 49 in 1997. All my coworkers who they promoted over me were Democrats who were minority, female, younger than me, and/or veteran and who had less work experience than I had, had less education than I had, had no professional certifications or fewer than I had, and/or had no professional license like the one I had. My critics/opponents in the Milton Township Republican Organization, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Illinois Republican Party have no problem with aforesaid because they reject the equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) plank in the Republican Party platform. I should write a book about the aforesaid. – Dave Diersen

— The real reason why those who claim to be religious, conservative, and/or Republican blame Trump for their problems and are going to vote for Harris/Walz is that they reject planks in the Republican Party platform, most commonly, its personal responsibility, traditional marriage and family, right to life, immigration, illegal drugs, Second Amendment, and/or equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) planks. My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes reject some, many, most, virtually all, if not all of the aforesaid planks. I should write about my critics/opponents. – Dave Diersen

They agreed to not only waste my career, but to take many big adverse actions against me. They forced me to take a $22,996 (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980. They gave me bad job assignments and unfair performance expectations and appraisals. They assigned me to supervise their most problematic employees.

— 11 jurors chosen for Michael Madigan trial, three men and eight women. (COMMENT: Everyone should get a jury of their peers. The less “jury appeal” that you have, the more likely that you will lose. Madigan has little jury appeal, but I have even less. Because few, if not very few, if not extremely few of the potential jurors in Diersen v. GAO would have shared my demographics, my 7th Amendment rights were denied, that is, GAO was granted summary judgement and I was denied a jury trial. The judges and justices concluded that I could not win, that is, that I could not get a fair trial. My demographics are terrible. I am conservative, Republican, White, male, older, married, non-veteran, Protestant, German American, my ancestors have been in America since 1844. I do not have serious health, financial, or other problems. I have three master’s degrees and six professional certifications. I became a licensed CPA when I was 32 in 1981. In Diersen v. GAO, potential jurors would have been liberal/moderate, Democrat, minority, female, younger, unmarried, veteran, non-Protestant, non-German American, have ancestors who have not been in America for a long time, have health, financial, and/or other problems, have less education than I have, have no professional certifications or fewer than I have, have no professional license like the one I have, etc.)

My critics/opponents have always accused me of taking jobs and getting promotions that should have been given to minorities. They were especially furious when IRS promoted me in 1972, 1973, and 1974 and when GAO promoted me in 1986. They were overjoyed when my Democrat GAO superiors forced me to retire and gave my job and my preferred corner office to my Black subordinate in 1997.

GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— Republican candidates on the ballot in my precinct are going to lose November 5, 2024. Postmortems will again be conducted by the Milton Township Republican Organization, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Illinois Republican Party (IRP). They will all again conclude that my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters caused all the losses. They will again charge me with painting Republican candidates as being more conservative than they should be painted. According to them, Republican candidates can win only if they run as Democrat Lite, RINO, anti-conservative, and/or anti-Republican. They are furious that I stress that the Republican Party platform is conservative and that if you run and win as a Republican, you are obligated to defend and advance the Republican Party platform. They are especially furious that I stress in my newsletters the personal responsibility, traditional marriage and family, right to life, immigration, illegal drugs, Second Amendment, and equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) planks. They want the aforesaid planks to be officially stricken from the platform. They are filled with hatred against Trump. Since 2015, to discourage/stop me from sending out my newsletters, they a) removed me from the IRP State Convention Platform and Resolutions Committee, b) ended my service as the Republican fundraiser for Wheaton Independence Day parades and fireworks, c) ended by bid to be selected to fill a Wheaton City Council West District vacancy, and d) gerrymandered my precinct. – Dave Diersen

FEDERATION FOR AMERICAN IMMIGRATION REFORM
— India: “Donkey Flights” the Latest Trend in Illegal Immigration
https://www.fairus.org/blog/2024/10/11/india-donkey-flights-latest-trend-illegal-immigration
(FROM THE ARTICLE: As with so many other nationalities, the number of illegal aliens from India has surged under the Biden-Harris administration. Between fiscal year 2021 and August 2024, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) had encountered over 274,000 illegal aliens from India. Indian illegal aliens have used a wide variety of routes to reach the U.S., with the rise of “Donkey Flights” being an interesting development. So-called “Donkey Flights” take their name from the 2023 Bollywood film Dunki, a comedy about Indian illegal immigrants named after the Punjabi slang for “hopping from place to place.” These flights see Indian nationals hopping between countries with weak visa requirements until they get to, or close to, the U.S. border. The donkey flights to the U.S. typically take Indians to Ecuador, then transport them to the Darien Gap and through Central America to the U.S. border. Other routes include shuttle flights from Nicaragua. The “weak passport” of India means that Indian nationals motivated to do this have only a limited number of countries they can hop through. The donkey flight trips are facilitated by fake travel agencies, known colloquially as “donkers.” Often, they promise to secure a legitimate visa in exchange for a large fee. Once the fee is paid, the applicant is told, usually after a short time delay, that the application was rejected. In reality, no application was ever made. However, the donker then helpfully offers to facilitate an illegal journey instead. In some cases, the pretense of obtaining a genuine visa is absent from the start, and the agency semi-openly offers illegal smuggling services. The Indian government has identified donker illegal travel agencies that advertise services for smuggling Indians into one of their three main choices of countries: the U.K., Canada and the U.S. Upon arrival, they often file fraudulent asylum claims. Some Indian nationals are even candid enough to admit the asylum claim is fraudulent, and a cover for the real motive, which is economic gain.)

RIVER BENDER
— Democrats ever-increasingly use “equity” to demand that the demographics of those who pass tests be equal, that is, if X% of those who take a test are minority and/or female, X% have of those who pass that test must be minority and/or female. My critics/opponents stress that very few of those who took the CPA examination with me in 1979 and extremely few of those who took the Certified Internal Auditor examination with me in 1981 were minorities and/or females and that far fewer of them passed the examinations on their first attempt like I did. According to my critics/opponents, that was because I have always benefitted tremendously from discrimination against minorities and against females. In my defense, neither of my parents attended college. My father was only the first of my ancestors to earn a high school diploma. My mother never attended high school. I had to work my way through college.

LAKE FOREST PATCH
— $1.13 Million Awarded To Help Asylum-Seekers In Lake County. Created in response to Abbott’s border policy, the grants will go to housing, legal aid and health care for new arrivals. (COMMENT: Lake County today, your county tomorrow.)
https://patch.com/illinois/lakeforest/1-13-million-grants-headed-help-asylum-seekers-lake-county
(FROM THE ARTICLE: As the federal government tightens asylum rules amid growing national tension over immigration, the Lake County Board this week unanimously voted to accept an expanded state grant to assist asylum-seekers. Lake County is the only county in Illinois to receive funding through the Supporting Municipalities for Asylum Seeker Services, or SMASS, program, which is now in its second year. The SMASS program focuses on funding services such as shelter and transitional housing support, food assistance, wraparound services, legal help and health and wellness care. The Metropolitan Mayors Caucus administers the program, distributing state money on behalf of the Illinois Department of Human Services. This year, Lake County officials secured a grant worth more than $1.13 million, an increase of about 9 percent from what they received last year. Mano a Mano Family Resource Center, which serves immigrant families, will receive $924,298 of that money, while North Suburban Legal Aid will get $184,404 to provide legal assistance to asylum-seekers. Lake County will retain $21,536 to cover administrative costs for managing the program. The North Suburban Legal Aid Clinic was founded in 2015 by Nancy Rotering, who is also a member of executive board the Metropolitan Mayors Caucus. Gov. J.B. Pritzker said the SMASS program was created in response to the policy of the Texas state government to provide people who show up at the southern border with free transportation to sanctuary cities. “As we continue to call for further federal support, and as Illinois takes a stand against the callous ways Texas Gov. Abbott is using human beings as political pawns, these grants will lend support where it is needed throughout the state,” Pritzker said, announcing the funding earlier this year. More than 49,000 asylum-seekers have arrived in Chicago on buses and planes since September 2022, not including those arriving independently or via Greyhound, according to city officials. In addition to the Lake County grant, several other municipalities and organizations across Illinois were awarded funding for the 2025 fiscal year through the SMASS program. Champaign received nearly $710,000, Oak Park was awarded about $300,000 and Ford Heights secured almost $1.24 million. As for non-governmental groups, BEDS Plus Inc. received $878,000, Centro de Informacíon was granted nearly $1.7 million, The Immigration Project was awarded more than $702,000, Respond Now received more than $706,000, Rincon Family Services secured over $1.4 million, Western Illinois Dreamers was granted nearly $375,000, and World Relief Quad Cities received more than $367,000 to support services for asylum-seekers and individuals experiencing homelessness. This local initiative comes during an election season in which President Joe Biden and candidate and Vice President Kamala Harris are facing increasing pressure over their administration’s handling of immigration and border security. Last month, Biden administration officials announced tougher asylum restrictions, requiring that the daily number of border crossings remain below 1,500 for nearly a month before easing restrictions on asylum applications. That move, which builds on earlier policies introduced in June, has drawn sharp criticism from immigration advocates, who argue that it effectively denies asylum to those fleeing persecution.)
NIU
— NIU’s new freshman class excels academically, earns more than $6.3 million in merit scholarships (COMMENT: Did you get any merit scholarships? I did not. My critics/opponents have always used that against me. In my defense, neither of my parents attended college, my father was only the first of my ancestors to earn a high school diploma, my mother never attended high school, and I had to work my way through college. Instead of studying, I spent far too many hours a) washing dishes during my junior and senior years in high school and b) delivering mail while I was a UIC and then NIU student. I should write about my critics/opponents. I would focus on those whose parents had lots of money, who bought them cars, who paid for their college expenses, and/or who got them jobs.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson is doing EXACTLY what Lori Lightfoot did I tried to hold her accountable for her failed leadership – cry racism. Johnson isn’t even two years into his term and every attempt to question him on his CPS coup and reckless $300M CTU loan ask, his migrant spending that has triggered a nearly $1B debt for next year and his flip flop on police hiring and ShotSpotter, results in the same answer – racism! Chicagoans say that he is worse than Lori Lightfoot – so that’s what I asked him yesterday and you know what his answer was? “I am not a black lesbian!”)
GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— GAO is less than a shell of what it once was. But virtually all of its employees are Democrats who are minority, female, younger, veteran, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or have ancestors who have not been in America for a long time. While I worked for the Democrats who ran GAO 1980-1997, they used Republican-led budget cuts to get rid of the agency’s employees like me who were Republican, White, male, older, non-veteran, Protestant, German American, and/or had ancestors who had been in America for a long time. I should write a book about the aforesaid. – Dave Diersen

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Most U.S. adults (73%) say they see inaccurate election news at least somewhat often, including 37% who say they see this extremely or very often. Only 3% of Americans say they don’t see inaccurate news about the election at all. Republicans and independents who lean toward the Republican Party are about twice as likely as Democrats and Democratic leaners to say they come across inaccurate election news extremely or very often (51% vs. 24%). Meanwhile, about a third of Democrats (36%) say they see inaccurate election news not too often or not at all, while just 14% of Republicans say the same. Conservative Republicans are more likely than Republicans who describe themselves as moderate or liberal to report seeing inaccurate news coverage about the election extremely or very often (60% vs. 37%). . .Republicans are more likely than Democrats to say they see inaccurate election news from the sources they turn to most often. . .Most Republicans (61%) say it is difficult to determine what is true and what is not, compared with 42% of Democrats who express this view. A majority of Democrats (58%) say they find it easy to distinguish truth from fiction when it comes to election news.)
