GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— The Republican Party exists to promote conservative principles; the Democrat Party exists to promote liberal principles; the Libertarian Party exists to promote libertarian principles; and the Green Party exists to promote green principles. Political parties exist to help elect candidates who can and will defend and advance their platform. The Illinois Republican Party (IRP) platform (https://illinois.gop/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/2016PlatformoftheIllinoisRepublicanParty.pdf) is conservative. The Republican Party platform (https://gop.com/platform/) is conservative. I served on the 2008 IRP State Convention Platform and Resolutions Committee. Disgustingly, outrageously, and unacceptably, the Republican Party, IRP, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Milton Township Republican Central Committee let people hold leadership positions a) who reject many planks in the aforesaid platforms and b) focus on destroying those like me who support the aforesaid platforms. Most commonly, these Democrat Party plants, Libertarian Party plants, Green Party plants, and RINOs reject the traditional family, right to life, immigration, Second Amendment, illegal drugs, and equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) planks. From what I see, they are working very hard to fill the 2020 IRP State Convention Platform and Resolution Committee with members who will water down if not strike the aforesaid planks. I have asked my representative on the IRP State Central Committee to appoint me to the 2020 IRP State Convention Platform and Resolution Committee. – Dave Diersen

Overwhelmingly, they promote LGBTQ activity, abortion, mass/illegal immigration, Islam, abolition of the Second Amendment, booze, gambling, pot, and other vices, patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation. Overwhelmingly, they are anti-Trump, anti-Protestant, anti-conservative, anti-patriotic, anti-Republican, anti-American, anti-White, anti-male, anti-older people, anti-rich people, anti-gun owners, anti-German Americans, anti-draft avoiders, and/or anti-those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time.)

— Ignorance, Fear, and LGBTQ – Lloyd Marcus
https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2019/05/ignorance_fear_and_lgbtq.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Mary and I met with several black relatives for dinner at a restaurant in Baltimore. The jovial conversation drifted to politics. I was stunned that they know nothing about several important political issues. Because they only watch mainstream media, my relatives are either misinformed or uninformed. For example,, my relatives have never heard of Sharia Law. When I explained the tyranny of Sharia and how leftists are promoting it in America, my relatives were shocked. Overwhelmed, a relative said, “I’ve heard enough. Can we change the subject?” The second thing that disturbed me was my relatives’ intense fear of pushing back against LGBTQ indoctrination that is impacting their lives. As I said, these are not political people. And yet, they know they had better not get caught opposing LGBTQ activists forcefully infiltrating every aspect of our lives; from public education to entertainment to Sunday morning worship.)

https://www.commdiginews.com/politics-2/a-cautionary-tale-unfettered-illegal-immigration-creates-a-failing-nation-117991/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: “We are a nation of immigrants” is a favorite aphorism of vote-seeking politicians. The saying reaches back to the 1870s. However, it is not true. So who cares? The pretense that we are all immigrants is babble. Words thrown about by the politicians to curry favor with some minority du jour. It is more “give me your vote,” and I will pay you with social safety nets.” Most politicians aren’t interested in the nonsensical twaddle about “give me your tired and your poor” as reflected on the Statue of Liberty. Maybe an update to the original should be “Welcome to New York, home of AOC and DeBlasio. If you think it was bad where you were, with until you start paying for NY Liberal policies.” This meaning that the taxpayer will provide the dollars necessary to provide immigrants – legal and illegal – with food, housing, medical care – those things bought and paid for by American taxes. Taxes squeezed from the citizens who may or may not want an influx of “the tired, huddled masses” seeking economic opportunity in the US.)

He almost always worked second jobs to help pay the family’s bills. He did not buy a new car until he was 45 years old and it was a bottom of the line 2-door Chevy with almost no options. He died suddenly of heart failure in 1969 when he was 47 and I was 21.)

— Age and the American Presidency: How Old is ‘Too Old’? – Erica Gunderson (DIERSEN: To defend your health, and especially to defend your cognitive abilities, what would you stress? I would stress the fact that I have put together and sent out a GOPUSA ILLINOIS email each and every morning since 2004 (4,860+ days) and each and every evening too since 2015 (1,210+ days).)
https://news.wttw.com/2019/04/29/age-and-american-presidency-how-old-too-old
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Is there such a thing as being too old to be president? Americans first questioned whether a candidate was too old for the world’s highest office in 1840, with the candidacy of 67-year-old William Henry Harrison. He was 68 when he was inaugurated the nation’s ninth president. Barely a month later, a sudden bout of pneumonia ended his term – and his life. It was 140 years before America elected an older man to the presidency – Ronald Reagan, who was inaugurated at 69 and was 77 when he left office. Reagan was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease a few years later, but some believe he was showing signs of the disease during his second term as president. And in 2016, Donald Trump was 70 when he took the oath of office, making him the oldest president ever inaugurated. Among the 21 Democratic candidates hoping to challenge Trump in the 2020 election are more in their 60s and 70s than ever before. Two full generations separate the youngest presidential candidate, Pete Buttigieg (37), and the oldest, Bernie Sanders (77) and Joe Biden (76). Dr. John Holton, director of the Center for Gerontology at Concordia University, says that rather than asking if a candidate is too old for office, “a better question would be to ask what the characteristics of a bad president are. Would the answer have anything to do with the person’s age, religion, sexual orientation, disability, ethnicity, or experience? Are we confusing our assumptions about maturity with age?” Critics of older candidates say that electing a president in their 60s or 70s can be risky. The nation’s highest office is a physically demanding job that challenges even the fittest person – and there’s no good time for a health crisis when you’re in the Oval Office. Signs of age-related cognitive decline might not become apparent until it’s too late. Holton notes, “In the fishbowl life of a U.S. president, it would be highly unlikely that [cognitive impairment] would go unnoticed or unaddressed by staff and cabinet members.” There is also the consideration of life span. While life spans are longer than they were when the country was young, simple statistics indicate that electing a candidate in their 70s greatly increases the odds they’ll die while in office, but again, Holton points out that each candidate must be judged individually. “No more than 25% of longevity is determined by our genes, which means that 75% is determined by our choices and lifestyle behaviors,” he said. Holton also points out that at the moment, two Supreme Court justices are performing their own demanding jobs into their 80s (to wit: 86-year-old Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s famously rigorous exercise regimen). Many voters might consider advanced age a sign of experience and wisdom – qualities that presumably anyone would consider positive qualifications for office.)

During all of the almost 30 years that I worked for the federal government, one or more of my superiors were Jewish. During 1977 and 1978, my Jewish IRS superiors worked with Jewish Money Magazine employees and published a very nasty 4-page article on me in the February 1978 issue of Money Magazine the foisted negative government employee stereotypes on me and painted my education deductions as being improper.)

USA TODAY
— Millennials still lean on parents for money – Janna Herron (DIERSEN: When did you stop leaning your parents for money? Because my outstanding parents never had much money, I never expected them to, and they did not, give me any money for cars, tuition, books, or room and board at NIU. They did provide me with room and board while attended UIC 1966-1968, weekends during my first semester at NIU in 1969, and the summer of 1969. I paid for a new 1968 Oldsmobile 442 and a new 1969 Dodge Charger SE, tuition, books, and room and board at NIU with money that I earned working for the Park Forest Post Office 1966-1969. My father died suddenly in October of 1969 and my mother had never worked outside of our home in Crete. After I graduated from NIU in August of 1970, I helped support my mother and brother until September of 1972 with money that I earned working for the Firestone Store in Chicago Heights and for IRS in Chicago and Harvey.)

— U.S. Rep. Sean Casten has high praise for fellow freshman Rep.

What are the following doing to get the best possible Republican candidate to run against and defeat Casten: Peter Roskam, Illinois Republican Party (IRP) National Committeeman and Committeewoman, IRP officers, 6th Congressional District IRP State Central Committee member, and 6th Congressional District Republican county and township organization officers?) 
https://www.politico.com/newsletters/illinois-playbook/2019/04/18/casten-on-aocs-green-deal-preckwinkle-reflects-population-dropping-again-426113
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Casten, who campaigned on a “fix climate change” platform, just wishes it wasn’t sucking the air out of all the other green legislation. “The Green New Deal has made it very hard to advance a different idea about how to move forward [on climate change] without being seen as antagonistic,” Casten said during an interview with POLITICO. Casten has bills in various forms on issues he cares about, and he’s been asked by other lawmakers to join on their climate-focused bills, too. But they’re all effectively on hold, he says, while Ocasio-Cortez’s plan gets the headlines. The Green New Deal calls for the nation to reduce its fossil fuel use to zero within 10 years. Casten is back in Illinois this week after his first three months in Congress. We met over coffee at Starbucks in Carpentersville. Here are seven takeaways from the interview: On what works/doesn’t work in AOC’s resolution: “I agree with the urgency of it. That part is awesome. It’s just more idealistic than practical. To do climate policy right, you have to understand how our current energy structure works.” Casten points to questions about whether fertilizer can be made without natural gas or if aviation fuels can replace existing high-energy, low-density petroleum-based fuels. They’re both areas that are difficult to de-carbonize based on current technologies. His Capitol Hill mentors: U.S. Rep. Bill Foster, who serves Illinois’ 11th District. The two representatives share a passion for science and business. Also New Hampshire Rep. Annie Kuster and Maryland Rep. Jamie Raskin. “Every time I talk to [Raskin] I realize he’s super smart and I leave thinking I’m super smart,” says Casten.)

— The Natural Limits of Identity Politics – Victor Davis Hanson (DIERSEN: Question: When will illegal immigration to America end? ANSWER: When Spanish is America’s official language. When everyone in America speaks, reads, and writes Spanish. When America looks like Mexico. When there are few, if any Whites left in America. When Mexico and the other Spanish-speaking countries officially declare victory over America.)
https://www.dailysignal.com/2019/04/18/the-natural-limits-of-identity-politics/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Economist Herbert Stein’s old adage—“If something cannot go on forever, it will stop”—still holds. Take illegal immigration. There are currently somewhere from 11 million to 15 million immigrants living in the United States without legal authorization. Last month, nearly 100,000 people were apprehended or turned away while trying to illegally cross the southern border. Some experts suggest that at least that number made it across without arrest. At that rate, the United States would be gaining a fairly large city of undocumented arrivals each month. Most of the people who enter the United States illegally arrive without fluency in English, a high school diploma, competitive job skills, or money. The majority will require support subsidies, and collectively they will require increased legal and law enforcement investments. At some point, American social services will be so taxed that the system will be rendered dysfunctional—as is already occurring in areas of the American Southwest. Or, some regions of America will so resemble the countries illegal immigrants abandoned that there will be little point in heading north. Either way, the current border chaos will find its own self-correcting mechanisms, even if that means there will be no border at all—or northern Mexico and the southern United States will become indistinguishable. Currently, the national debt is $22 trillion and growing at a rate of nearly $1 trillion a year due to staggering annual budget deficits. The George W. Bush and Barack Obama administrations roughly doubled the debt they inherited, and the Donald Trump administration may be on schedule to do the same. More importantly, the national debt is now over 100% of the gross domestic product. Presidents and Congress like to spend and to spread money to voters. They fear politically suicidal recessions if they cut back. But over the last 20 years, the government has mostly exhausted traditional economic stimuli such as larger budget deficits, near-zero real interest rates, and expansion of the money supply.)

CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— Trump sanctuary city idea could help migrants stay in U.S. – AP (DIERSEN: Yes, but because illegals lack education, lack job skills, lack work experience, have serious financial problems, have serious health problems, and/or do not speak English, sanctuary cities might very well go bankrupt a) teaching their residents Spanish and b) providing illegals with housing, food, clothing, education, transportation, job skills, etc. before illegals become Democrat voters. Of course, sanctuary cites would have to require all their residents to speak, read, and write Spanish. Democrats in sanctuary cities want illegals to help Democrats get rid of Republicans once and for all. Will Democrats let Republicans stay in sanctuary cities a) if they give money to Democrats, b) if they learn to speak, read, and write Spanish, and/or b) if they give their jobs to illegals?)

— Remember Murietta? Dumping unvetted migrants into the cities of political foes was done by Obama first – Monica Showalter (DIERSEN: What municipality, township, and county do you live in? What would the elected officials in your municipality, in your township, and/or in your county say if they were asked if they would allow your municipality, your township, and/or your county to accept illegals, and if so how many? FIRST, ELECTED OFFICIALS OF MUNICIPALITIES, TOWNSHIPS, AND COUNTIES HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO RIGHT TO ALLOW THEIR MUNICIPALITIES, TOWNSHIPS, OR COUNTIES TO ACCEPT ILLEGALS. I would sue any Wheaton, Milton Township, and/or DuPage County elected official who voted for Wheaton, Milton Township, and/or DuPage County to accept illegals. Of course, Democrats and Democrat plants, Libertarians and Libertarian plants, Greens and Green plants, and RINOs on city councils like Wheaton, township boards like Milton, and on county boards like DuPage have every right to try and get referendums passed to accept illegals.) 
https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2019/04/remember_murietta_dumping_unvetted_migrants_into_the_cities_of_political_foes_was_done_by_obama_first.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Back in 2014, when the migrant surge of that year brought tens of thousands of “unaccompanied children” and “moms and kids,” into the Rio Grande Valley, overwhelming the Texas processing facilities, President Obama inexplicably targeted small and mid-sized cities (same as the Trump officials’ emails) as their next destination of choice. And instead of talking about it, they really did try to bus the unvetted migrants into small cities such as Murietta, California; Yuma, Arizona; and a conservative area of New Mexico, bringing crime, disease, and a high need for social services, without consulting those communities. The residents protested, and the Obama administration declared them ‘racist’ in a bid to scare them into line. I was on the ground at Murietta during those protests when I was an editorial writer at Investor’s Business Daily, and I spoke to the citizens of that city, who were not only far from racist, but actually multiracial themselves. They told me this: Asked why the rebellion was centered in Murrieta and not elsewhere, the residents all had one answer: they were Reagan Country, and it was on their soil that the Reagan revolution was lit in 1978.)

Ever-increasing, to get an education, to get a job, to be retained, to get promoted, to not get fired, you have to be a Democrat or RINO. You have be an operative or a dupe for Democrats or RINOs. You have to promote dependency on government, dependency on charity, LGBTQ activity, abortion, mass/illegal immigration, abolition of First and Second Amendment rights, booze, gambling, pot, and other vices, patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, retaliation, and even worse things.)

I worked for the federal government for almost 30 years. I avoided the draft. I failed/refused to become a Democrat. I failed/refused to help my superiors get rid of their employees because they were Republican, White, male, and/or non-veteran and 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. The aforesaid is called “up-or-out.” I complained about political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation. In 1980, when I was 40 years old, I became an active member in a class action lawsuit that charged my employer with reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation. What did you do that destroyed your political career? I failed/refused to become a RINO. I failed/refused to become an operative or a dupe for those who have the most religious, government, political, and/or financial clout in Wheaton, in Glen Ellyn, in Milton Township, in DuPage County, and in Illinois.

Ever-increasingly, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes in Wheaton, in Glen Ellyn, in Milton Township, in DuPage County, and in Illinois hint/imply/argue/shout that my Democrat GAO superiors forced me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years old a) because I am dumb, stupid, incompetent, inept, unskilled, inexpert, amateurish, unprofessional, lacking ability, bungling, blundering, clumsy, unproficient, inadequate, substandard, inferior, ineffective, deficient, inefficient, ineffectual, no good, not good enough, wanting, lacking, leaving much to be desired, incapable, unfitted, unfit, unsuitable, unqualified, pathetic, cack-handed, ham-fisted, not up to it, a dead loss, not up to scratch, not up to snuff, and even worse things and b) because I am a White supremacist, Nazi, KKK member, hater, racist, sexist, bigot, and even worse things. I should write a book about my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes. Better yet, I should sue them.)
https://japantoday.com/category/national/retiring-late-as-pensions-underwhelm-more-japanese-opt-to-prolong-employment

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Yasuhiro Furuse could have retired two years ago, but he wasn’t entirely happy with his pension income and had to put any such thoughts to bed. It was just as well for Furuse’s employer Orix Corp, a financial services group, which would have struggled to find a replacement, with Japan’s jobless rate at 26-year lows. This win-win arrangement, increasingly common in Japan, highlights a structural and policy challenge facing the world’s third-biggest economy. Prime Minister Shinzo Abe’s government is considering raising the retirement age to 70 or 75 from 65 now, to ease pension burdens as well as a labor crunch. But a more durable longer term solution, analysts say, is for Japan to relax its strict controls on foreign workers. “I have no choice but to work,” said Furuse, 62, a senior adviser at Orix’s corporate business headquarters. “I appreciate that I could keep working, which makes me better off than living on pension and savings. Besides, I want to do something to contribute to society.” Japan’s population is among the oldest on the planet and has one of the longest lifespans, putting pressure on its pension system. The old-age dependency ratio — or the numbers of elderly against those of working age — is the highest in the OECD. The situation is being compounded by Japan’s deep-seated reluctance to fully open its gates to foreign workers, leaving many companies to rely on the old guard to overcome severe labour shortages.)
