Ever-increasingly, Democrats want women, and everyone else, to focus on getting rid of Republicans who are Trump supporters, Protestant, conservative, patriotic, White, male, older, non-poor, gun owners, German American, draft avoiders, and/or those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time. Ever-increasingly, Democrats what women, and everyone else, to promote welfare, dependency on government, dependency on charity, LGBTQ activity, abolition of traditional marriage, abolition of traditional family, abortion, mass/illegal immigration, abolition of the First and Second Amendments, booze, gambling, pot, and other vices, patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation.)

WASHINGTON FREE BEACON
— Gutierrez Berates ‘Remorseless’ Nielsen for 6 Minutes, Leaves Before She Can Respond – David Rutz (DIERSEN: Democrats paint the anti-White Gutierrez as being THE SPOKESMAN for all Hispanics in America, if not the world. Democrats stress that RINOs accept the anti-White Gutierrez as being THE SPOKESMAN for all Hispanics in America, if not in the world. Who speaks for Hispanics in your municipality, in your township/ward, in your county, and in Illinois? For that matter, who speaks for those who 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 in your municipality, in your township/ward, in your county, and in Illinois?)

— ‘Republican’ PAC That Attacks GOP Bankrolled by Liberal Billionaires – Joe Schoffstall (DIERSEN: What do you say to RINOs who give money to RINOs? What do you say to those who falsely claim to be religious, conservative, and/or Republican to give themselves standing to destroy individuals, organizations, companies, governments, and countries that are religious, conservative, and/or Republican? I should write a book about past and present RINOs in the 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, American Association of Political Consultants Midwest Chapter, etc. in Wheaton, in Glen Ellyn, in Milton Township, in DuPage County, and in Illinois.

— Lessons from the Failure of the California GOP – Robert Miller (DIERSEN: The Democrat Party is a STRONG COALITION of those individuals, organizations, companies, governments, and countries that 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 anti-those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time.)
https://amgreatness.com/2018/12/07/lessons-from-the-failure-of-the-california-gop/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: As early as debates between the Federalists and anti-Federalists, political parties formed as a means of coordinating and communicating throughout the Republic. Although George Washington warned against the “baneful effects of the spirit of party generally,” parties have been necessary to coordinate coalitions to confront issues ranging from slavery to social spending, and from protectionism to prohibition. Many may lament the lack of a viable third party; however, there are very real mathematical reasons to explain why we have two. Once that is understood, it will become clear why Brulte’s thinking about candidates rather than the party being responsible for messaging is blinkered and can only further sink the California GOP in continued and perpetual failure.)

SUBURBANITE
— ‘Proud Deplorable’ thanks President Trump – Sue Froelich (DIERSEN: How much did/will your income drop when you retire? My income dropped $73,461/year (59%), from $125,325/year down to $51,861/year in today’s dollars, when my Democrat GAO superiors succeeded in forcing me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years old.)
http://www.thesuburbanite.com/opinion/20181222/letter-proud-deplorable-thanks-president-trump

(FROM THE LETTER: I retired in 2003 and my income was cut in half when I went on Social Security and pension. Fortunately I had a few investments that were doing quite well which almost made up for the difference in my income. I was making almost as much as when I was working and this additional money was most appreciated by this senior living on a fixed income. All my investments were doing well until 2008 when an unqualified community organizer became president and all my stocks tanked. The first year I lost over $10,000. Even though things improved during his second term, I was never able to make up the difference. One of my investments used to give me $450 a quarter and went to $69 a quarter during Obama’s eight-year regime. That investment now gives me $651 a quarter. This Proud Deplorable thanks President Trump for all the good things he’s doing for our country!)

What did you want when you were young? I wanted a successful career in the automotive industry. EEOC ended all that in 1971 when I was 22 when Oldsmobile withdrew a job offer that I had accepted saying that it had just agreed to stop hiring Whites to settle an EEOC complaint. That made me unemployed because Firestone had fired me for accepting that offer. I had to get a job fast because I had a financial hardship draft deferment to help support my mother and brother. Because of the aforesaid, I accepted a job offer from IRS.)

https://www.wsj.com/articles/even-a-booming-job-market-cant-fill-retirement-shortfall-for-older-workers-11545326195
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Even though the official unemployment rate is just 3% for older workers, the actual jobs environment is surprisingly bleak. Nearly eight million older Americans are out of work or stuck in low-quality jobs that offer little opportunity to prepare for retirement, a Wall Street Journal analysis of government data shows. At Risk Nearly eight million older Americans are out of work or stuck in low-quality jobs that offer little opportunity to prepare for retirement. The figures include the nearly 2.1 million Americans who are out of work, working part time because they can’t find a full-time job or have stopped looking because they don’t think anyone will hire them. Another 5.8 million Americans—or 23% of full-time, year-round workers ages 55 and older—are employed in what economists describe as “bad jobs” that offer no health benefits and typically pay poorly. A decade ago, about 20% held these jobs, according to census data compiled by the Minnesota Population Center.)

— Will Democrats revive the Office of Technology Assessment in 2019? – Chase Gunter (DIERSEN: In 1997, I was a “casualty of Republican cost-cutting.”)
https://fcw.com/articles/2018/12/07/2019outlook-ota-revival-gunter.aspx
(FROM THE ARTICLE: From 1972 to 1995, the Congressional office provided scientific and technological advice to lawmakers, penning more than 750 studies and, at its peak, supporting 140 staffers with a budget exceeding $30 million in today’s dollars. When Newt Gingrich was Speaker of the House, the office became a casualty of Republican cost-cutting. . .One alternative emerging among conservatives is to increase resources to offices with technological focuses that already receive funding, like the Government Accountability Office’s IT oversight arm. “There is this sort of natural skepticism of expert bureaucracies and the optics of recreating a new federal agency,” said Graves, who has also worked at R Street and Cato Institutes. “Republicans are going to be much naturally more favorable to doing this in GAO rather than OTA.” Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.), who led this year’s Senate-side push to revive OTA, isn’t limiting the path for improving tech capacity in Congress just to OTA. Keith Chu, Wyden’s press spokesperson, said the senator will look at a range of options to bring tech expertise to Congress, “whether it’s through reviving the OTA, giving GAO additional resources, or encouraging programs like TechCongress fellowships.” But boosting funding for GAO without bringing back an agency with OTA’s mission comes with downsides, because the two have fundamentally distinct visions, said Schuman. “GAO is an agency that has a waste, fraud and abuse mission — that is the organizational culture approach, that is the way they think about things,” he said. “OTA is often about imagining what’s possible and not criticizing what currently exists.”)

— What do those who want Republicans to lose want Republican party leaders to do? – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com

 

(THE ARTICLE: What percent of those individuals, organizations, and companies that are leaving Illinois, leaving DuPage County, and leaving Milton Township are Trump supporters, Protestant, conservative, patriotic, Republican, American, White, male, older, non-poor, gun owners, German American, and/or those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time – 98%, 99%, 100%?

 

Political parties exist to help elect candidates who can and will defend their platform. Those who want dependency on government, dependency on charity, LGBTQ activity, abortion, mass/illegal immigration, abolition of the First and Second Amendments, booze, gambling, pot, and other vices, patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation, and even worse things ALWAYS VOTE FOR DEMOCRATS.

 

QUESTION: What do Democrats and Democrat plants, Libertarians and Libertarian plants, Greens and Green plants, and RINOs in Illinois, in DuPage County, and in Milton Township want Republican party leaders to do?

 

ANSWER: They want the Illinois Republican Party (IRP), DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and the Milton Township Republican Central Committee to downplay, to ignore, if not to strike the traditional family, right to life, immigration, and Second Amendment planks in the IRP platform and the illegal drugs and equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) planks in the Republican Party platform. They know that downplaying, ignoring, and striking the aforesaid planks will drive individuals, organizations, and companies out of Illinois that are Trump supporters, Protestant, conservative, patriotic, Republican, American, White, male, older, non-poor, gun owners, German American, and those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time.

 

Further, those who want Republicans to lose want Republican party leaders to promote dependency on government, dependency on charity, LGBTQ activity, abortion, mass/illegal immigration, abolition of the First and Second Amendments, booze, gambling, pot, and other vices, patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation.

 

Further, those who want Republicans to lose want Republican party leaders to banish individuals, organizations, companies, and governments that are Trump supporters, Protestant, conservative, patriotic, Republican, American, White, male, older, non-poor, gun owners, German American, and those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time.)

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 $81,071-$91,880/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.)

BLOOMBERG
— Americans Earning Over $200,000 Are Flocking to These Neighborhoods Everyone knows wealth is concentrating. This is where the rich are going.
https://www.bloomberg.com/news/features/2018-12-18/these-are-the-neighborhoods-attracting-america-s-richest

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Cook County, Illinois Cook County, which includes the county seat of Chicago, is home to the No. 1 and No. 7 fastest-growing concentrations of $200,000-plus households. No. 1 is, ironically, the area around where the Cabrini-Green public housing projects once stood. Cabrini-Green was notorious for violent crime, poverty and de facto racial segregation until its demolition beginning in the 1990s at the behest of the Chicago Housing Authority. Even back then, authorities fretted that redevelopment plans might displace low-income families. They were right to be worried. Two decades later, the area’s concentration of $200,000-plus households has skyrocketed from zero to 39 percent. For some of the longtime residents who remain, the neighborhood’s transformation has been isolating. . .About 20 miles to the north, Cook County has another top 10 neighborhood: the Glen, in the suburb of Glenview. Converted from what used to be Naval Air Station Glenview, the planned community has hundreds of families living in condos, town houses and single-family homes that go for as much as $2.5 million each, according to realtor Margaret Ludemann.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: “The hatred of journalists that is voiced, and sometimes very openly proclaimed, by unscrupulous politicians, religious leaders and businessmen has tragic consequences on the ground and has been reflected in this disturbing increase in violations against journalists,” said Reporters Without Borders’ Secretary-General Christophe Deloire. “Amplified by social networks, which bear heavy responsibility in this regard, these expressions of hatred legitimize violence, thereby undermining journalism, and democracy itself, a bit more every day,” he said.)

ANSWER: Those who reject the traditional family, right to life, immigration, and/or Second Amendment planks in the 2016 IRP Platform. Those who 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.)
https://www.statesman.com/news/20181213/texas-marijuana-advocates-set-sights-on-2019-legislative-session
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The 2018 platform of the state’s Republican Party is among their evidence. It includes a plank calling for civil, instead of criminal, penalties for possessing small amounts of pot, as well as one calling for expansion of the Compassionate Use Act “to allow doctors to determine the appropriate use of cannabis to certified patients.” In addition, Gov. Greg Abbott for the first time recently voiced support for reducing penalties for some pot possession — albeit not all the way to a mere civil offense. Abbott, a Republican, said during his successful re-election campaign against Democrat Lupe Valdez that he’s open “to talking to the Legislature about … reducing the penalty for possession of 2 ounces or less from a Class B misdemeanor to a Class C misdemeanor” because he doesn’t want to see “jails stockpiled with people who have possession of a small amount of marijuana.”)

— Get ready, Illinois, for the government you chose – Kristen McQueary (DIERSEN: On November 6, 2018, I voted for all the Republicans on the ballot in my precinct.)
https://www.chicagotribune.com/news/opinion/commentary/ct-perspec-mcqueary-taxes-pritzker-rahm-emanuel-pensions-1218-20181217-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: New year, new governor, new legislature. Among Illinois Democrats, there’s a thrill of excitement only Chris Matthews’ leg during a Barack Obama speech could appreciate. In January, Democrats will increase their control of Illinois, Cook County and suburban governments. In the Illinois House, Democrats will hold 74 seats to Republicans’ 44. In the Senate, Democrats will hold 40 seats to the GOP’s 19. For the most part, voters swept out the suburban Republicans who have often served as the General Assembly’s only fiscal disciplinarians. So please, suburbanites. Stifle your complaints about high taxes. This is the government you chose. The majority party also took every statewide office including governor. And on the Cook County Board, only two of 17 seats remain in Republican hands. That is if you consider Commissioner Peter Silverstri of Elmwood Park a Republican, and no one really does. Democrats, you dominated. Spike the ball in the end zone. Body surf House Speaker Michael Madigan across a sea of pink hats. Treat the start of the spring legislative session like a locker room victory party. Champagne hairspray, everyone. The Democrats already are rolling out plans for higher taxes, more gambling, legalized dope and additional borrowing, particularly if it’s the risky pension bond-sale variety. Mayor Rahm Emanuel called for a change to the Illinois Constitution’s pension clause to control pension costs. But the most likely action at the city and state levels will be can-kicking and borrowing — exactly what got us here.)

My Democrat IRS superiors would stress to women that to help retain and advance women, they did not promote me beyond GS-12, disallowed my education deductions in 1978, got rid of my mentor in 1975, and disallowed my partial day per diem claims in 1974. My Democrat Post Office superiors would stress to women that to help retain and advance women, they forced me resign in 1969 and disallowed my sick leave requests in 1969 and 1968.)

https://www.chicagotribune.com/news/opinion/editorials/ct-edit-rahm-pension-chicago-constitution-20181212-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Here’s what he proposes: Amend the Illinois Constitution’s pension clause that in effect says the retirement benefits in force on an employee’s first day of work can’t be changed for the rest of his or her life. Scale back the too-generous 3 percent compounded cost-of-living adjustments that most retirees receive. “The fact is, a 3 percent annual compounded COLA in an era of very low nonexistent inflation is not progressive and not sustainable,” Emanuel said. He also lobbied for a constitutional amendment switching the state from a flat income tax to a graduated one that would hit wealthier taxpayers. “Coming at this challenge from both sides, revenue and reform, is the clearest path out of this challenge and the fairest,” he said. Emanuel also suggested borrowing in the short term to shore up the funds, reintroducing what’s known as a “consideration” model to give public employees more retirement savings choices, and bringing a casino to Chicago.)

There are many factors that impact election results in a precinct including the demographics of the voters in the precinct. According to my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes, Republican candidates on ballots in my Milton Township Precinct 9 would receive many more votes if they were the Republican Precinct Committeeman or if someone who they manipulate/dominate was the Republican Precinct Committeeman.)

— Ocasio-Cortez claims Jewish ancestry (DIERSEN: What if I had claimed Swedish ancestry? What is your national origin? During the 1840s and 1850s, all my ancestors immigrated to northeast Illinois from what is now Germany. Of course, needless-to-say, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have always used that against me. In my defense, I stress that my grandfather on my father’s side fought the Germans during WWI, that my uncles on my mother’s side fought the Germans during WWII, and that my father would have fought the Germans during WWII if he had not been 4-F. Further, according to http://dna.ancestry.com, my ancestry is 33% Europe West, 28% Scandinavia, 24% Great Britain, 11% Ireland, 2% Europe East, 1% Finland/Northwest Russia, and 1% Italy/Greece. What if I had claimed Swedish ancestry?)

However, many millions have not and will not seek a job with the federal government a) because the pay and benefits are terrible, b) because the advancement opportunities are terrible, c) because they lack required education, work experience, professional certifications, and/or professional licenses, d) because they cannot pass an employment examination, e) because they cannot pass a background investigation, f) because they cannot pass a physical examination, g) because they cannot take the demonization, denigration, and condemnation that comes with being a federal employee or federal retiree, and/or h) because they are Republican, White, male, older, and/or non-veteran and they know that the federal government discriminates against the aforesaid.)

For me, in 1980, when I was 31 years old, when I transferred from IRS to GAO, it was auditing IRS. GAO audits IRS. 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 $81,071-$91,880. I had passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979. I had earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976. I had almost completed the requirements for a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul. But my Democrat GAO superiors succeeded in stopping me from being assigned to audits of IRS until 1986. They treated assignments to audits of IRS to be “preferred assignments” that should only be given to GAO employees who were Democrat, minority, female, younger, and/or veteran.)
