— How diverse are Chicago’s corporate boards? It’s complicated. As Springfield debates whether to mandate diversity in every corporate boardroom, nearly 4 of every 10 directors at Chicago’s biggest companies are women or minorities. – STEVE DANIELS (DIERSEN: How soon, if not already, will political parties mandate that their members, activists, leaders, candidates, major donors, political consultants, etc. must be minority, female, younger, non-Protestant, and non-German American? Will that result in the formation of a new political party that represents older White men who are Protestant and/or German American, that is, a political party that does not discriminate against those who are older, White, male, Protestant, or German-American?)

FORBES
— How Living Longer Impacts Your Retirement – Gregory Ostrowski (DIERSEN: My Civil Service Retirement System pension is only 42% of what my salary was in 1997 in today’s dollars.)
https://www.forbes.com/sites/forbesfinancecouncil/2019/05/01/how-living-longer-impacts-your-retirement/#160ea2d560be
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Especially for those on fixed incomes, such as retirees, inflation can negatively impact your standard of living in retirement by diminishing the purchasing power of your income. One way to prepare for such a scenario that can also help you overcome the risk of outliving your savings is to build a buffer into your retirement income projections. For instance, if you believe that a retirement income of $6,000 per month will be enough to pay your expenses, plan to save enough to generate $7,000 a month. Or if you think $7,000 per month will be enough, aim for $8,000, etc.)

— The Average Social Security Recipient Today Only Gets This Much Income Hint: It’s really not enough to live comfortably on. – Maurie Backman (DIERSEN: My Civil Service Retirement System pension is only 42% of what my salary was in 1997 in today’s dollars.) 
https://www.fool.com/retirement/2019/05/02/the-average-social-security-recipient-today-only-g.aspx
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Just as you need a roof over your head, a means of transportation, food, clothing, and healthcare during your working years, so too do you need all of these things in retirement. The same holds true for things like utilities, cable, communications (think your cellphone and internet service), and even leisure. Therefore, it’s silly to think that you’ll get by on 40% of your former earnings while maintaining a standard of living that’s similar to what you’re used to today. And even if you are willing to cut back on some expenses, to live on Social Security alone would likely require some drastic changes — changes you likely won’t be happy with.)

I would focus on my critics/opponents who are Republican, White, male, and older who have lots of religious, government, political, and/or financial clout in Wheaton, in Glen Ellyn, in Milton Township, in DuPage County, and in Illinois.) 
http://www.brinkwire.com/science/microsoft-employees-question-if-diversity-is-important/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Several Microsoft employees have been questioning whether diversity is important and slammed the tech giant for ‘discriminatory hiring’ against Asians and white men. The employees have been debating the company’s pro-diversity push on an internal online message board meant for communicating with Microsoft’s CEO Satya Nadella. Two posts that have been heavily argued were written by a female Microsoft program manager, Quartz reports. One of those posts questioned Microsoft’s push to hire more women and minorities, arguing that it discriminates against white and Asian men. It also criticizes the monetary incentives senior leadership are awarded if they hire female or minority employees. ‘Does Microsoft have any plans to end the current policy that financially incentivizes discriminatory hiring practices? To be clear, I am referring to the fact that senior leadership is awarded more money if they discriminate against Asians and white men,’ one post reads. ‘I have an ever-increasing file of white male Microsoft employees who have faced outright and overt discrimination because they had the misfortune of being born both white and male. This is unacceptable,’ she wrote in a follow up post on the thread.)

— Income can peak before you’re ready (and what that means for retirement) – LIZ WESTON (DIERSEN: If you are retired, when did your income peak? My income peaked in 1997 when I was 49 years old at $72,460/year, or at $127,654/year in today’s dollars.) 
https://www.dailyherald.com/business/20190505/income-can-peak-before-youre-ready-and-what-that-means-for-retirement
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Most retirement calculators are optimistic to a fault. They assume our incomes will rise throughout our working lives, or at least stay roughly the same. In reality, our incomes are likely to peak years — and sometimes decades — before we retire. Consider this: People’s biggest wage increases tend to happen in their 20s and 30s, with more modest increases in midlife followed by declines, according to a 2016 analysis of Social Security earnings records underwritten by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. Most people’s incomes peak by age 45, the researchers found, although the top 20% of earners peaked in their 50s. More than half of those who enter their 50s with a stable job are laid off or otherwise forced out the door, and the vast majority don’t recover financially, according to analysis by ProPublica and the Urban Institute. These may be grim statistics, but if you’re tempted to put off saving for retirement, take heed. “When you’re 40 and things are going well, you think, ‘OK, I can see when things are going to get better and that’s when I can save for retirement,'” says Gary Burtless, an economist with the Brookings Institution who studies earnings patterns. “And those days just don’t come.” THE BIGGEST GAINS COME EARLY What’s true on average for a group of people may not be true for an individual, of course. Understanding these general patterns, though, could help people make better decisions about spending, saving and when to retire. Generally, the more education people have, the more money they make over their lifetime and the later their earnings peak, Burtless says. “For somebody with a position like professor at a university, it might be when they’re in the second half of their 50s, as opposed to the second half of their 30s, which it might be for your brother-in-law who failed to complete high school,” Burtless says. But the 50s tends to be a dangerous decade for workers, according to ProPublica, an independent nonprofit newsroom, and the Urban Institute, a nonprofit think tank that researches social and economic issues. The researchers found 56% of full-time, full-year workers ages 51 to 54 suffered an involuntary job loss after age 50 that had a substantial economic impact, either by reducing their earnings at least 50% or resulting in six months or more of unemployment. The median household income of these workers dropped 42%, and only one in 10 ever earned as much after they left their jobs as before. An additional 9% left their jobs involuntarily for personal reasons such as health. The analysis was based on data from the University of Michigan Health and Retirement Study, which tracks 20,000 people in the U.S. SAVE EARLY AND AVOID LIFESTYLE CREEP Job disruptions and declining earnings help explain why so many people in their 60s have so little saved, Burtless says.)

— May 16 event aims to explain real estate tax bills – Chris Kaergard (DIERSEN: Realistically, do you believe that could you sell your home for what your assessor says it is worth? I do not.

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.)

AMERICAN THINKER
— 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.)

If they had more money, how would that have impacted you? Neither of my outstanding parents attended college. My father was the first of his ancestors to earn a high school diploma. My mother never attended high school. My father fought type 1 diabetes from age 14 and worked in the office of a nasty chemical plant in Chicago Heights. 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.)

I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979 when I was 30 years old, but by then, IRS and other employers viewed me as being much too old to have a successful career in accounting.)

The Trinity Lutheran split in Crete in 1961 when I was 13 years old impacted me big time. I should write a book about the Wisconsin Synod Lutheran’s (WSL) (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wisconsin_Evangelical_Lutheran_Synod) success in defeating the Missouri Synod Lutherans (MSL) (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lutheran_Church%E2%80%93Missouri_Synod) in the Trinity Lutheran Church and Grade School in Crete(https://www.trinitycrete.org/trinitycrete/_) in 1961. That had a tremendous impact on me, on my brother, and on my parents. The defeated MSLs, including me, my brother, and my parents, went to the MSL Hope Lutheran Church and Grade School in Park Forest (https://www.facebook.com/pages/Hope-Lutheran-Church/142202365812738).

EPOCH NEWS
— Challenges From Legal and Illegal Immigration – David T. Jones (DIERSEN: Have you held “dirty” jobs? My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have made it very clear that they would never have stooped to take the jobs that I did. I did yard work and delivered newspapers 1962-1964; washed dishes 1964-1966; cleaned golf shoes, chipped slag, and pumped gasoline in 1966; delivered mail 1966-1969; worked on an automobile assembly line and as a security guard in 1970; sold tires, automotive services, and major appliances 1970-1971; pumped gasoline 1971-1972; collected delinquent taxes 1971-1980; and audited federal agencies 1980-1997.) 
https://www.theepochtimes.com/challenges-from-legal-and-illegal-immigration_2896589.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: More than a generation of desultory control over illegal immigration is the consequence of wink-and-nod implicit agreement between Republicans and Democrats. Republican entrepreneurs/citizens have benefitted from cheap crop-pickers and service workers. Democrats have viewed them as a prospective reservoir of votes, once maneuvered into citizenship. There is a simple albeit draconian answer: specific visas for specific periods (harvest seasons) and specific jobs with no qualified U.S. applicants rigorously enforced by mandatory ID/E-Verify registration. And instant deportation for all not meeting these requirements. The rationale that our current low unemployment rate justifies these illegals is risible: if you want workers for “dirty” jobs—pay them more and they will emerge.)

Nether of my outstanding parents attended college. My father was the first of his ancestors to earn a high school diploma. My mother never attended high school. I just barely got into the upper 20% of my high school class. My ACT was only 24. I had not demonstrated any leadership abilities – I washed dishes for the minimum wage 1964-1966.

Since 1999, I have had the best record by far for attending MTRCC meetings and fundraisers. In addition, while I served on the Illinois Center Right Coalition (ICRC) Steering Committee 2003-2007, I succeeded in getting ICRC to hold many of its meetings there. I should write a book about what certain past and present MTRCC and ICRC leaders have said about me at MTRCC and ICRC meetings. In 2004, they crushed my bid to serve as MTRCC Treasurer. In 2006, they almost succeeded in getting ICRC to censure me for my GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails. In 2007, they succeeded in throwing me off the ICRC Steering Committee. They hint/imply/argue/shout that my success in getting Wheaton to ban video gambling since 2009 has caused the Wheaton Bowl great financial harm.)

NATIONAL REVIEW
— On Stephen Moore’s ‘Brainiac’ Immigrants – JASON RICHWINE (DIERSEN: Are/were you a high-skilled employee? What indicates that an employee is/was high skilled – work experience, education, professional certifications, professional licenses? I earned a) a job-related bachelor’s degree when I was 21 in 1970 and job-related master’s degrees when I was 27, 31, and 48, b) job-related professional certifications when I was 30, 32, 41, 45, 47, and 48, and c) a job-related professional license when I was 32.) 
https://www.nationalreview.com/corner/h1-b-visas-highly-skilled-immigrants/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: In praising the “brainiacs” who hold H-1B visas, Stephen Moore writes that “the firms that use these visas must affirm that they were not able to find comparably skilled American workers to do the jobs.” That claim is generally false. Most firms are not even required to advertise the position before applying for an H-1B worker. (Recruiting Americans prior to applying for an H-1B is required only for employers deemed “H-1B dependent” or “willful violators.”) Moore’s piece has remained uncorrected on the Dallas News site for six days and counting. The error is important because it touches on a key question about the H-1B program, and about “high-skill” immigration more generally: Are we really getting Einstein-level intellects with few American equivalents, or are firms simply importing run-of-the-mill college graduates to hold down wages? To support the Einstein theory, Moore cites the testimony of Bill Gates, who once claimed that each H-1B worker hired by Microsoft creates four new jobs.)

I should write a book about my critics/opponents in Wheaton, in Glen Ellyn, in Milton Township, in DuPage County, and in Illinois a) who have lots of religious, government, political, and/or financial clout and b) who want me to apologize for causing all of their problems, all of your problems, all of my problems, all of everyone’s problems, and all the losses that Republicans have suffered in Wheaton, Glen Ellyn, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois since 2000.)

GOVERNMENT MATTERS
— 2019 Federal Employee Viewpoint Survey begins in May – Andrew Wagner (DIERSEN: My Democrat superiors in the federal government hinted/implied/argued/shouted that their employees who were Democrat, minority, female, younger, and/or veteran would be MUCH HAPPIER if the federal government got rid of its employees who were Republican, White, male, older, and/or non-veteran.)

FEDERAL GOVERNMENT JOBS
— GAO Analyst Student Intern Student Trainee Job (DIERSEN: Were you an intern? GAO audits IRS. When I transferred from IRS to GAO in 1980 when I was 31 years old, my Democrat GAO superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinated did not want me to transfer, but failing that, they wanted me to transfer as a GS-4 Step 1 (currently $33,591/year) intern, that is, to suffer a $60,001/year (64%) pay cut in today’s dollars. They painted what GAO Analysts do as being a unique “trade or occupation.” They would not have done that if I had been a Democrat, minority, female, or veteran. They viciously demonized, denigrated, and condemned the fact a) that I had worked for IRS for almost 9 years, the last 5 1/2 years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 levels, currently $82,579-$93,592/year, b) that much of what IRS Revenue Officers do is similar to what GAO Analysts do, c) that I had passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, d) that I had earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976, and e) that I had almost completed the requirements for a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul. They were furious that I transferred with me almost 12 years of federal seniority, 30 days of unused vacation days, and 130 unused sick days.)

https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/policy/healthcare/2020-candidates-are-too-old-warns-obamas-former-doctor-were-asking-for-trouble
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Candidates who are older are more likely to face scrutiny about their health. According to the Social Security Administration, men who have reached age 70 can expect to live roughly 15 more years, and women can expect to live about 17 more years, but lifestyle and health factors can shift the calculus. And as people get older, the probability of illness, disability, and death increases, as do the chances of cognitive impairment.)

ASSOCIATED PRESS
— AUGUST 31, 2008 FLASHBACK: Biden got 5 draft deferments during Nam, as did Cheney (DIERSEN: In 1966, when I was 18 years old, notwithstanding the fact that my eyesight could not be corrected to 20/20, I had partial red/green color blindness, and I had Osgood-Schlatter disease (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osgood%E2%80%93Schlatter_disease), I was classified 1-A for the draft.)
https://www.newsday.com/news/nation/biden-got-5-draft-deferments-during-nam-as-did-cheney-1.884250
(FROM THE ARTICLE: DOVER, Del. – Democratic vice presidential nominee Joe Biden received five student draft deferments during the Vietnam War, the same number of deferments received by Vice President Dick Cheney, and later was disqualified from service because of asthma that he suffered as a teenager. Officials with Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama’s campaign released Biden’s Selective Service records at the request of The Associated Press. Less detailed records were available from a National Archives facility in Philadelphia. According to the documents, Biden, 65, received several deferments while he was an undergraduate at the University of Delaware and later as a law student at Syracuse University. A month after a physical exam in April 1968, Biden received a Selective Service classification of 1-Y, meaning he was available for service only in the event of national emergency. “As a result of a physical exam on April 5, 1968, Joe Biden was classified 1-Y and disqualified from service because of asthma as a teenager,” said David Wade, a campaign spokesman. In “Promises to Keep,” a memoir that was published last year, Biden never mentions his asthma, recounting an active childhood, work as a lifeguard and football exploits in high school. The Obama campaign pointed to media interviews from 1987, when Biden was making his first bid for the presidency, that mention his asthma. Military service and questions about which presidential ticket would be stronger on national security are intertwined in the presidential race. Republican John McCain, a former Navy pilot who spent 5 1/2 years in a Vietnamese prison, has argued that he has stronger background to be commander in chief. Democratic nominee Obama counters that McCain would continue a wrongheaded foreign policy from the Bush administration. Biden’s five student deferments equal the number given to Cheney, who has been quoted as saying he had “other priorities” than military service in the 1960s.)

Nearly 45% of older workers who’ve experienced discrimination said they were treated unfairly because of their age. . . The older the respondents, the more likely they were to believe they had been treated unfairly because of their age. The survey found that 50% of adults ages 65 and older who said they had faced discrimination said their age was the source of that discrimination compared to 43% of respondents ages 55 to 64 and about 39% of respondents ages 45 to 54. And men were more likely than women to believe that they had been treated unfairly because of their age.

Time for a break… (DIERSEN: Since 2004, I have put together and sent out a GOPUSA ILLINOIS email each and every morning. Since 2015, I have put together and sent out a GOPUSA ILLINOIS email each and every evening too. Those emails contained links to more than 335,200 articles and information on many upcoming events. Those emails were free and contained no advertising. Should I write a book about those who have worked the hardest a) to stop me from putting together and sending out GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails and b) to stop everyone from reading those emails?)

WASHINGTON POST
— Why don’t voters care if a presidential candidate is old? – Helaine Olen (DIERSEN: Who takes/took the lead in promoting age discrimination in the organizations that you are/were a member of? I should write a book about those in the following organizations who take/took the lead in promoting age discrimination: Milton Township Republican Central Committee, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, Illinois Republican Party, TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois, Wheaton Chamber of Commerce, Illinois Center Right Coalition, and American Association of Political Consultants Midwest Chapter.)
https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2019/04/23/why-dont-voters-care-if-presidential-candidate-is-old/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Age discrimination is a major issue in American society. According to some reports, a majority of people older than 50 will be involuntarily separated from their jobs at least once. But when it comes to our presidential politics, it’s another matter entirely. President Trump is turning 73 this spring. On the other side of the aisle, the two leading contenders to challenge Trump are Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), 77, and former vice president Joe Biden, 76. The two share little in common politically, yet, amazingly, Biden is the top No. 2 choice of Sanders supporters, and those backing Biden return the favor. When the issues of infirmities of age are even hinted at, voters across the board seemingly dismiss them. In a recent focus group session of swing voters put together by pollster Engagious, not a single participant said they would vote against a candidate because the candidate was too elderly. Other candidates such as South Bend, Ind., Mayor Pete Buttigieg might claim that it’s time for a “generational change” in our politics, but it appears few are heeding the message. How could this be? How can a society that worships youth on the job and in the culture turn into what Malcolm Harris, author of “Kids These Days,” calls a political gerontocracy? Well, you can thank a confluence of factors, ranging from the decades-long impact of the inordinately large baby-boomer generation, combined with how the particular personalities of a number of older candidates reflect what kind of older candidates we like — and which ones we don’t.)

— Just 31% Oppose Plan to Send Illegals to Sanctuary Communities (DIERSEN: It is hypocritical for Democrats who live in sanctuary cities to fail/refuse to provide illegals with sanctuary, that is, to fail/refuse to take illegals into their homes, to feed them, to cloth them, to provide them with medical care, to educate them, to give them job skills, to give them jobs, etc. Democrats in sanctuary cities should want to brag about the tens, hundreds, thousands+ of illegals that they house, feed, clothe, provide medical care to, educate, give job skills to, give jobs to, etc.)
