— Side-by-side Wheaton mansions are for sale at $2.4M and $3.3M. DD: How diverse is your precinct economically? My DuPage County Milton Township Precinct 59 in Wheaton is extremely diverse economically. Generally, the further south that you go in my precinct, the higher that household incomes and housing values are. Since 1984, my critics/opponents have wanted public housing to be built on the north border of my precinct on the south side of Roosevelt Road. Currently, the aforesaid side-by-side mansions in my precinct are for sale at $2.4M and $3.3M.

GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— Registration is open for political entries in Wheaton’s July 4 Independence Day Parade. SEE: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/wheaton-independence-day-parade-entry-2026-tickets-1984881886153  The deadline is June 26. The cost is $183.58. I hope that all the Republican candidates on the ballot in my precinct will walk in the parade: Tracy, Bailey/Del Mar, Fioretti, Harris, Drew, Soloman, Oakley, Lewis, Vrankovich, Grasso, Noonan, Schiappa, Henry, Eckhoff, Michaud, Schultz, Quirk, and Helland. – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com
— Since I became a Republican Precinct Committeeman in Wheaton in 1999, I have encouraged Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct to walk in Wheaton Independence Day parades. In 2003, the day after all the announced Republican candidates for U.S. Senate attended (Cox, Kathuria, McKenna, Oberweis, and Ryan) had walked in the parade, they all attended a picnic that I had organized in the Prairie Path Park in my precinct. More than 200 attended. In 2005, I started raising $2,500/year from Republican candidates, elected officials, and party leaders to help sponsor the parade and fireworks. Each year I would hand-deliver 500 parade flyers to the homes and businesses along the parade route. In 2007, I raised $2,000 for an elephant to walk behind Roskam in the parade. But my critics/opponents ended that in 2021 by having the Wheaton Park District stop parade and fireworks sponsorships. I should write about my critics/opponents. I would focus on those who continue to have lots of religious, government, political, and/or financial clout in Wheaton. I would focus on those who have had their operatives and their dupes take many other adverse actions against me. They want to de-politized the parade, that is, they want to keep Republican candidates, elected officials, and party leaders out of the parade.
— What discourages/stops you from helping elect Republican candidates? For me, it is knowing that far too many of them will blame me and will blame my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters for their defeats. – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com
— What do you attribute your successes in life to? I attribute my successes in life to my parents who promoted personal responsibility and conservative principles. Their sending me to Missouri Synod Lutheran grade schools put me on track to earn a) a job-related bachelor’s degree, b) three job-related master’s degrees, c) six job-related professional certifications, and d) a job-related professional license. But my critics/opponents attribute my successes in life to my benefitting from discrimination against those who are liberal/moderate, Democrat, RINO, minority, female, younger, poor, veteran, unmarried, parents, non-Protestant, non-German American, have ancestors who have not been in America for a long time, and/or noncitizen. I should write about my critics/opponents. I would focus on those whose parents were the wealthiest. – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com
— What is your purpose in life? My purpose in life is to promote conservative principles. My following conservative principles enabled me to earn a job-related bachelor’s degree, three job-related master’s degrees, six job-related professional certifications, and a job-related professional license. I have always fully disclosed that I am conservative and that I promote conservative principles. I have always used my personal experiences to promote conservative principles. According to my critics/opponents, that disqualifies me as being a journalist. But they have no problem with journalists who falsely claim to be nonpartisan. – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com
— Who do your critics/opponents side with? My critics/opponents side with a) liberals and moderates who are against conservatives, b) Democrats and RINOs who are against Republicans, c) minorities who are against Whites, d) women who are against men, e) younger people who are against older people, f) those who have less money who are against those who have more money, g) unmarried people who are against married people, h) those who have children who are against those who do not have children, i) those who are against federal employees and retirees, j) those who are against reporters and journalists, k) veterans who are against draft avoiders, l) non-Protestants who are against Protestants, m) non-German Americans who are against German Americans, n) those whose ancestors have not been in America for a long time who are against those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time, o) countries that are against America, and/or p) citizens of foreign countries who are against citizens of America. – Dave Diersen
http:http://www.gopillinois.com
— Have you had adverse actions taken against you? When your critics/opponents have had their operatives and their dupes take adverse actions against you, who has come to your defense? My critics/opponents continue to stress that when they had their operatives and their dupes take adverse actions against me, virtually no one came to my defense. They had their operatives and their dupes a) rudely throw me off the Illinois Republican Party State Convention Platform and Resolutions Committee in 2024, b) rudely end my service as the Republican fundraiser for Wheaton Independence Day parades and fireworks in 2021, c) rudely gerrymander my precinct in 2015, d) rudely end my TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois chairmanship in 2012, e) rudely end my Milton Township Republican Organization (MTRO) webmaster service in 2010 and 2004, f) rudely end my Illinois Center Right Coalition (ICRC) Steering Committee membership in 2007, g) rudely almost getting ICRC to censure me for my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters in 2006, h) rudely defeat my bid to serve as MTRO Treasurer in 2004, i) etc. Who have you hoped would have come to your defense, but did not? For me, it is those Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct since 2000 who I did the most to help elect and to help reelect in general elections. Further, my critics/opponents stress that when my Democrat superiors in the federal government took many big adverse actions against me including my Democrat GAO superiors forcing me to retire when I was 49 in 1997, the following did not come to my defense: my Republican U.S. Senators and Representatives, Speakers Gingrich and Hastert, and the six professional associations that I was a member of: Illinois CPA Society, Institute of Internal Auditors, Nation Association of Fraud Examiners, Association of Government Accountants, National Association of Financial Services Auditors, and National Association of Forensic Accountants. – Dave Diersen

(FROM THE ARTICLE: On Tuesday this week, 19-year-old Karmelo Anthony was convicted of murder for fatally stabbing a competitor at track meet in Texas last year. The killing quickly became national news because Anthony is black, his victim was white and black people were rooting for the stabber. The events that led to Anthony’s plunging a knife into Austin Metcalf’s heart are these: Driven for some reason to sit in a rival team’s tent, Anthony was repeatedly asked to leave by Metcalf. He refused, and tauntingly dared, “Touch me and see what happens.” Metcalf pushed him, whereupon Anthony knifed him. For killing a white kid who had the affrontery to 1) ask him to leave a tent he was not supposed to be in, and 2) touch him, Anthony collected more than $600,000 in donations and gained a small group of protesters outside the courthouse, yelling racist abuse at white people. Anthony’s admirers claimed to be protesting “white supremacy.” Don’t these white people realize Anthony is black? You can’t ask a black person to move! A minister outside the courthouse denounced the entire justice system as the “final frontier of racism and it’s legalized here.” A potential juror admitted, “I don’t know if I feel right putting a brother in jail.” One thing you’ll never see is a group of white people rooting for whites who kill blacks — or anyone else for that matter — just because the accused is white. Nobody protested the arrests of Derek Chauvin, Kim Potter, George Zimmerman or Jake Gardner, and two of those were accidents, the other two self-defense. [Point of law: Lying on your back, having your head smashed into a concrete sidewalk, or being locked in a chokehold so lethal that police are no longer allowed to use it, is not remotely similar to being pushed.] Gardner, for example, an Omaha bar owner, shot and killed a black career criminal who was choking him to death during a BLM riot. The district attorney, along with his entire homicide department, investigated and concluded the shooting was justified. But realizing he was white, the Democratic D.A. recused himself and assigned a black special prosecutor to the case. The black prosecutor promptly issued an arrest warrant for Gardner’s arrest, charging him with manslaughter, attempted first-degree assault, making terroristic threats, and use of a weapon to commit a felony. With a legion of white people rushing to disavow him, evict him, destroy his business, and manipulate the system to ensure his conviction, Gardner killed himself. In other news this week, a 14-year-old black kid in Indianapolis fatally shot a 23-year-old white man in the head during a carjacking. The Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department chief of police (the city’s first female police chief!!!) and deputy chief of police (a black guy, naturally) held press conferences, emoting over the horrible thing that had happened — to the killer. Chief Tanya Terry, who looks like Janet Reno’s younger, more butch sister, barely mentioned the victim, Brett Scrogham, a serious Christian, who’d been returning from having dinner with his family when he was attacked. Terry began by saying she had “mixed emotions” about his murder — as one does when an innocent man has been shot in the head. In her telling, the vicious cold blooded crime was merely a “tragic incident.” Tearing up, she bemoaned the fact that the suspected killer would “face lifelong consequences,” his life “forever impacted and changed by short-sighted, impulsive, and reckless decisions.” You know, if you think about it, you could say that Scrogham’s life was also impacted, in a way. Finally remembering him, Terry added, “There are victims on the other side of those decisions. And those victims matter.” Yes, we all remember the “tragic incident” in Minneapolis when police officer Derek Chauvin’s life was forever “impacted and changed.” It’s easy to forget, but there was another victim in that encounter, too. Deputy Chief Kendale Adams also called the unprovoked attack a “tragedy,” saying it was “a setback for all of us.” Yes, especially Scrogham. He then called on the community to ensure that potential teenage killers feel valued. “I know that those community-based organizations are out there doing this kind of work, and I would like to keep encouraging them to continue to do the work. … we have to do more.” Everybody has to step up and “do more,” except the teenagers who keep killing people. This is like Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.) saying, the day after the Oct. 7 terrorist attack, that she grieved for both “the Palestinian and Israeli lives lost yesterday,” or Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) referring to the 9/11 terrorist attack as a day when “some people did something.” Sometimes it seems as if, no matter who kills whom, it’s either the white person’s fault or it’s nobody’s fault.)

— The Los Angeles City Council has approved amendments that would slow the implementation schedule for the City’s Hotel Worker Minimum Wage Ordinance and related airport worker wage provisions.

DD: In today’s dollars, I did not earn $27/hour until I was 22 in 1971 and I had earned a job-related bachelor’s degree. In today’s dollars, I did not earn $33/hour until I was 23 in 1972 and had completed three job-related evening graduate courses.

(FROM THE ARTICLE: “What the hell is wrong with these people?” I heard someone ask as a clip of Jasmine Crockett played on the television at the restaurant bar the other day. What was Crockett talking about? Her sympathy for the murderer named Karmelo Anthony because he’s black. Yes, that’s why she cares, or at least pretends to care, about the fate of the man who’ll spend at least the next 17.5 years of his life in prison in Texas. How could anyone, real or not, go on camera and express sympathy for a murderer, at the expense of the murder victim and his family, no less? There’s really only one possibility: the cancerous cultural rot Democrats have forced and enforced on the black community.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Republican presidential candidate Jeb Bush remained defiant in his contrasts with Donald Trump during an exclusive interview with Chuck Todd for “Meet the Press.” “He has no proven leadership skills in the public domain,” he said of the Republican frontrunner. “So my path is to say I do.” Bush focused his attack further on Trump’s conservative bona-fides and insisted he’s the only person willing to go after Trump on those issues, saying simply, “He’s not a conservative.” “I’m gonna continue to be critical of him when he doesn’t advocate conservative principles,” Bush said. “He’s running for the conservative party’s nomination. He should be a conservative, and he hasn’t shown it.” The former Florida governor acknowledged Trump’s ability to “entertain” but said his ideas won’t help people and questioned Trump’s ability to bring people together.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Most Democratic and Republican voters live in partisan bubbles, with little daily exposure to those who belong to the other party. For instance the typical Democrat has “almost zero interactions” with Republicans in their neighborhood, according to an article by Harvard doctoral student Jacob R. Brown and government Professor Ryan D. Enos published March 8 in the journal Nature Human Behaviour. “There’s a lot of evidence that any separation between groups has a lot of negative consequences. We see this in race; we see this in religion; we see this in all kinds of things,” said Enos. “And increasingly, we see this in partisanship in the United States.”)

CAREERS IN GOVERNMENT
— Virtually all government entities are run my Democrats or by RINOs. Because of that, the more of the following that you are, the more that you “need not apply:” conservative, Republican, White, male, older, non-veteran, Protestant, German American, and/or have ancestors who have been in America for a long time.

POLITICO
— Freedom 250’s fair on National Mall highlights conservative groups. In May, several musical artists dropped out of planned performances at the fair after learning of its ties to Trump. DD: TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois and Illinois Center Right Coalition (ICRC) were conservative groups. My critics/opponents are anti-conservatives. I served as the TAPROOT chairman from 2005 until 2012 when my critics/opponents had their operatives and their dupes get rid of me and destroy the group. I served as an ICRC Steering Committee member from 2003 until 2007 when my critics/opponents had their operatives and their dupes get rid of me and destroy the group. My critics/opponents hinted/implied/argued that TAPROOT and ICRC were hate groups. One could stress the conservative principles that Trump rejects.

INTERNATIONAL JOURNALIS’ NETWORK
— Personal perspectives can be valuable when transparently articulated. As the industry has recognized the importance of giving space for people to tell their own stories, knowing how to incorporate personal experiences in your reporting can be an effective approach. DD: My following conservative principles enabled me to earn a job-related bachelor’s degree, three job-related master’s degrees, six job-related professional certifications, and a job-related professional license. I have always fully disclosed that I am conservative and that I promote conservative principles. I have always used my personal experiences to promote conservative principles. According to my critics/opponents, that disqualifies me as being a journalist. But they have no problem with journalists who falsely claim to be nonpartisan.

MAGZTER
— Why we are haunted by the choices we didn’t make. DD: I should have majored in accounting from the beginning. My undergraduate major at UIC and NIU should have been accounting, my graduate major at Loyola should have been accounting, and I should have taken and passed the CPA examination much sooner than I did. I did not start taking graduate accounting courses at DePaul until I was 27 in 1976. I did not take the CPA examination and pass it on my first attempt until I was 30. I did not earn a master’s degree in accounting at DePaul until I was 31. I did not take the Certified Internal Auditor examination and pass it on my first attempt until I was 32. I did not become a licensed CPA until I was 32. By then, it was too late for me because the accounting profession saw me as being too old to have a successful career in accounting and because the accounting profession was under tremendous pressure to hire, retain, and promote minorities, females, and veterans, and I was none of the aforesaid.

MIBOLSILLO
— Rich vs. Poor? The Money Habits That Separate Wealth Builders.  DD: According to my critics/opponents, I owe all the money that I have to my benefiting from discrimination against those who are liberal/moderate, Democrat, RINO, minority, female, younger, poor, veteran, parents, unmarried, non-Protestant, non-German American, have ancestors who have not been in America for a long time, and/or noncitizen. I should write about my critics/opponents. I would focus on those whose parents were the wealthiest.
