— Federal Employees Who Resist Elected Officials’ Orders Should Be Fired – Inez Feltscher Stepman (DIERSEN: Democrats run the federal government and they use Affirmative Action, Diversity, and Inclusion to not hire, to not retain, to not promote, and to get rid of federal employees who are Republican, White, male, and/or non-veteran who they did not promote to GS-13 (currently $96,403) by age 25, GS-14 (currently $113,920) by age 30, GS-15 (currently $134,000) by age 35, and Senior Executive Service (currently $164,200) by age 40.

NEWSMAX
— The Kavanaugh Fiasco Is Galvanizing the Right Ahead of the Midterms – Steve Gruber (DIERSEN: The more demographics that you share with Kavanaugh, the more outraged that you should be against Democrats. Both Kavanaugh and I are Trump supporters, Christian, conservative, patriotic, Republican, American, White, male, older, married, non-poor, and non-veteran. I assume that he is a gun owner and that his ancestors have been in America for a long time like me. However, I am not an attorney, let alone a judge. I was baptized, raised, and confirmed as a Missouri Synod Lutheran. All my ancestors came from what is now Germany. My wife and I are childless. None of my degrees are from Ivy League universities. None of my ancestors attended college. My father was the first of his ancestors to earn a high school diploma. My mother never attended high school. I graduated from a public co-ed high school. My participation in sports was all but ended by a bone disease. I did not display any kind of leadership potential in high school or college. My college majors were management, business, accounting, and finance. I never made any academic honor roles. I was never a member of a fraternity. While Kavanaugh lived in a “dilapidated group house” when he attended law school, I stayed at University Plaza Dormitory and Lincolnshire West Apartments while I attended NIU. While Democrats forced me into early retirement in 1997 when I was 49 years old, Republicans nominated Kavanaugh for the U.S. Supreme Court in 2018 when he was 53 years old. While I am a Republican Precinct Committeeman, Kavanaugh is not. While I am a State Editor for www.GOPUSA.com, Kavanaugh is not. While Kavanaugh “serves as a lector at his Washington, D.C. church, the Shrine of the Most Blessed Sacrament. He has helped serve meals to the homeless as part of church programs, and has tutored at the Washington Jesuit Academy, a Catholic private school in the District of Columbia,” I am not a member of a church, I do not attend church services, and I do not give money to a church. While “Kavanaugh’s reported salary as a federal judge is $220,600 and $27,000 as a lecturer at Harvard Law School, my Civil Service Retirement System pension is only $51,864 and my Social Security is only $2,064.)

My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes a) blame me for all of their problems, b) blame me for all of your problems, c) blame me for all of my problems, and d) blame me for all of everyone’s problems. They specifically blame me for all the defeats that Republican candidates have suffered in Illinois since 2000, and especially the defeats that Republican candidates have suffered who have been on DuPage County Milton Township Precinct 9 ballots in Wheaton.

Now cities are trying to do something about the difference. – Emily Badger and Quoctrung Bui (DIERSEN: What neighborhood did you grow up in and how did it shape you? My parents lived a) in a 2-bedroom apartment above my grandfather’s hardware store at the northeast corner of Main and Exchange in Crete 1948-1954 and then b) in a house at 1286 Wood Street in Crete that my grandfather had built in 1926. My father died suddenly in 1969 and my mother died in 2016. They sent me to Trinity Lutheran Grade School in Crete 1953-1961 and then to Hope Lutheran Grade School in Park Forest 1961-1962 to stay with the Missouri Synod. They sent me to Crete-Monee High School 1962-1966.)
