http://www.chicagomag.com/Chicago-Magazine/May-2019/Where-Ken-Griffin-Gives-His-Money/

But when a moderate, probusiness Democrat faces a serious challenge from the far left, Griffin is known to throw a (gilded) bone across the aisle. . .Top Political Beneficiaries 1. Bruce Rauner (Republican) $36 million FOR:2014 (won) and 2018 (lost) gubernatorial campaigns 2. Jim Durkin (Republican) $11 million FOR:2016 (won, unopposed) and 2018 (won) Illinois House races 3. Leslie Munger (Republican) $5 million FOR:2014 Illinois House (lost) and 2016 state comptroller (lost) races 4. Bill Daley (Democrat) $2 million FOR:2019 mayoral run (lost) 5. Bill Brady (Republican) $1.7 million FOR:2010 gubernatorial (lost) and 2018 Illinois Senate (won, unopposed) runs 6. Erika Harold (Republican) $1.7 million FOR:2018 state attorney general campaign (lost))

I hand-delivered a marked copy of the sample ballot for my precinct and campaign literature for the Republican candidates to the 100+ homes in my precinct that had at least one registered Republican voter. I encouraged Republicans in my precinct to display yard signs for the Republican candidates. 135 of the 526 registered voters in my precinct, or 25.7%, voted in the election.)

https://mynorthwest.com/1334678/dori-bill-and-melinda-gates-poll/?
(FROM THE ARTICLE: According to the poll, 53 percent of people the PR firm talked to said that we are not spending enough on homelessness “when they learned that homelessness increased by nine percent [sic] between 2014-17, while spending on social services had only increased by 2.4 percent.” That is the purest definition of a push-poll question — where you phrase a question a certain way to get a desired result. And they only got it barely above 50 percent even with that biased phrasing. What the question doesn’t tell you is that the reason homelessness has increased by 10 percent is because people have moved from all over this country, because they’ve heard this is the best region in America to be an addict.)

— GOP: Teacher Pay Hike = Property Tax Hike – Nick Gale
http://www.wlsam.com/2019/04/11/gop-teacher-pay-hike-property-tax-hike/
— Some Georgetown students want to pay reparations to the descendants of the slaves who made the school possible (DIERSEN: Ever-increasingly, Democrats hint/imply/argue/shout that the longer that your ancestors have been in America, the more that you should pay in reparations, and especially if you are a Trump supporter, Protestant, conservative, patriotic, Republican, American, White, male, older, non-poor, gun owner, German American, and/or a draft avoider. How much in reparations will the Democrats want you to pay?)
http://www.wlsam.com/news/some-georgetown-students-want-to-pay-reparations-to-the-descendants-of-the-slaves-who-made-the-school-possible/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A group known as the GU272 Advocacy Team has pushed through student government a bill that would create a new $27.20 fee every semester for all Georgetown undergraduates. The fee would go toward a reconciliation fund, which would be overseen by a board of students and descendants of the 272 slaves sold in 1838. They estimate the fund would generate more than $400,000 a year and would “be allocated for charitable purposes directly benefiting the descendants of the GU272 and other persons once enslaved by the Maryland Jesuits,” according to the bill.)

— FRONT PAGE TOP OF FOLD WITH BIG COLOR PICTURE: Will wealthy leave Illinois if graduated income tax happens? It didn’t happen with last tax hike – BGA (DIERSEN: Ever-increasingly, the Democrats who run Illinois make it clear that they want individuals, organizations, and companies to leave Illinois that are Trump supporters, Protestant, conservative, patriotic, Republican, American, White, male, older, rich, gun owners, German American, draft avoiders, and/or those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time.)
https://www.dailyherald.com/news/20190410/will-wealthy-leave-illinois-if-graduated-income-tax-happens-it-didnt-happen-with-last-tax-hike
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The federal records reveal robust growth in the numbers of Illinois tax filers with incomes of $100,000 or greater from 2011 through 2014 when lawmakers temporarily boosted the state’s flat income tax rate to 5% from 3%. Over that time, the total number of federal tax filers in the state grew by 9,000, an almost imperceptible one-tenth of 1%. But the number of filers reporting adjusted gross income between $100,000 and $200,000 grew by 16%, while the number reporting income over $200,000 rose by 29%. The wealthiest got even wealthier, with 3,618 Illinoisans reporting $1 million-plus incomes in 2014, up 25% from four years earlier. Those earning more than $100,000 annually accounted for all the increase in collective earnings among Illinois taxpayers between 2006 and 2016. Meanwhile, more than 70% of Illinois tax filers reported annual income of less than $75,000 in 2016, and there were 300,000 fewer of them that year than in 2006.)

— Trump administration requires Texas Tech medical school to end use of race in determining admissions Agreement is the first time the Education Department has asked a school to curtail its affirmative-action practices, paving way for more change – MICHELLE HACKMAN (DIERSEN: How has Affirmative Action (AA), Diversity, and Inclusion impacted you? Democrats use AA, Diversity, and Inclusion to not hire, to not retain, to not promote, and to get rid of Republicans, and especially Republicans who are White, male, older, and/or non-veteran. While I worked for the federal government for almost 30 year, my superiors were always under tremendous pressure from Democrat politicians to use AA, Diversity, Inclusion, up-or-out, and budget cuts to not hire, to not retain, to not promote, and to get rid of Republicans, and especially Republicans who are White, male, older, and/or non-veteran. My Democrat GAO superiors forced me to retire in 1997 when I was 49 years old, gave me unfair performance expectations and appraisals, always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes, did not promote me beyond GS-13, got rid of my mentor in 1987, kept me off audits of IRS for all but 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for GAO, and forced me to take a $19,568 (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980. My Democrat IRS superiors 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 forced me resign in 1969 and disallowed my sick leave requests in 1969 and 1968. )

WIKIPEDIA
— G.I. Bill & Veterans’ Preference (DIERSEN: Government is nasty. Politics is nasty. Democrats are nasty. How did the G.I. Bill and Veterans’ Preference impact you? My Democrat superiors, Democrat supervisors, Democrat coworkers, and Democrat subordinates in the federal government always stressed that I was not a veteran, but far worse than that, that I avoided the draft. They focused on and succeeded turning my many Democrat superiors, Democrat supervisors, Democrat coworkers, and Democrat subordinates who were veterans against me.) 
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G.I._Bill
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Veterans’_Preference_Act_of_1944

(FROM THE G.I. BILL ARTICLE: Benefits included dedicated payments of tuition and living expenses to attend high school, college or vocational/technical school, low-cost mortgages, low-interest loans to start a business, as well as one year of unemployment compensation. It was available to all veterans who had been on active duty during the war years for at least 90 days and had not been dishonorably discharged—exposure to combat was not required. The recipients did not pay any income tax on the G.I. benefits, since they were not considered earned income. By 1956, roughly 7.8 million veterans had used the G.I. Bill education benefits, some 2.2 million to attend colleges or universities and an additional 5.6 million for some kind of training program. Historians and economists judge the G.I. Bill a major political and economic success—especially in contrast to the treatments of World War I veterans—and a major contribution to America’s stock of human capital that encouraged long-term economic growth. FROM THE VETERANS’ PREFERENCE ARTICLE: The Vietnam War in the 1960s resulted in several modifications of the VP law of 1944. In 1966, legislation was passed which granted peace-time preference for Vietnam-era vets who served on active duty for more than 180 consecutive days between January 31, 1955 and October 10, 1976; National guard and reserve service was excluded from this legislation. In 1967 legislation was passed which expanded preference to all veterans who served on active duty for more than 180 days (no requirement to serve during war, campaign, or conflict) between January 31, 1955 and October 10, 1976. As with the previous year’s law, National guard and reserve service was not included in this expansion. The end of the Vietnam War brought with it yet another law, passed in 1976. This law put added restrictions on veterans whose service begins after October 14, 1976. For post-Vietnam era veterans, preference was granted only if these veterans became disabled, or served in a declared war, a campaign, or expedition. This legislation was the result of the conclusion of the Vietnam War and its draft and the United States Department of Defense’s desire to build a career military service. The Civil Service reform act of 1978 created new benefits for veterans with a 30 percent or more disability. It also gave veterans extra protection in hiring and retention. Under this act, preference was no longer granted to nondisabled veterans who retired at the rank of major or above. In 1988, a law was passed that required the Department of Labor to report agencies’ violations of veterans’ preference and failure to list vacancies with State employment services to the Office of Personnel Management for enforcement.)

— How paranoia about the ‘deep state’ brought down a president. And how it could do so again. – Zachary Jonathan Jacobson (DIERSEN: Who seeks “to discredit, even destroy” you? I should write a book about those who seek “to discredit, even destroy” me. They include a) past and present 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, City of Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, Illinois, GAO, IRS, Post Office, etc. officials, employees, and members and b) those who I have sued.) 
https://www.washingtonpost.com/outlook/2019/04/08/how-paranoia-about-deep-state-brought-down-president/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: In the Nixon White House, ruminating about the threat of a deep state was common fodder. President Richard Nixon’s team sought to discredit, even destroy, political opponents, inside government and out, by pursuing them as un-American traitors. Nixon’s deep-statism illustrated the self-destructiveness undergirding conspiracism, and ultimately led to his resignation.)

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.

AMERICAN THINKER
— Immigration as Economic Warfare – Joshua Foxworth (DIERSEN: What protected groups are you a member of? Constructively, if not officially, members of the following groups are NOT PROTECTED: Trump supporters, Protestant, conservative, patriotic, Republican, American, White, male, older people, rich people, gun owners, German Americans, draft avoiders, and those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time. Constructively, if not officially, members of the following groups ARE PROTECTED: 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://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2019/04/immigration_as_economic_warfare.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The first aspect of this warfare is simple. The government institutes programs that give special privileges to one group of people in the form of educational access and benefits, exclusive contracts with the government, quotas within the job market, and legal protections that are exclusive to those people. While many of these benefits are subtle, on multigenerational timelines they effectively destroy the unprotected group while ensuring the success of the protected group. In addition to this, there is the selective enforcement of laws and the absolution of some groups from many laws. However, the more important aspect of this warfare is the collusion of immigrants to exclude portions of the native population from the economy. This activity has two facets — exclusion from the market and denial of service.)

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.
