I should write a book about those who promote hatred against White male conservatives in my neighborhood, in my precinct, in Wheaton’s West District, in Wheaton, in Milton Township, in DuPage County’s 4th District, and in DuPage county. I would focus on those who have lots of religious, government, political, and/or financial clout.)

KTRH
— Conservative Censorship Continues (DIERSEN: Ever-increasingly, my critics/opponents a) encourage/force everyone to spend all their time on Facebook rather than reading GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails, b) encourage/force the Illinois Republican Party, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, Milton Township Republican Organization, etc. to rely on Facebook for communication, to ignore/dump their websites, and to stop sending out emails, and c) encourage/force Republican candidates in Illinois, DuPage County, Milton Township, etc. to rely on Facebook for communication, to ignore/dump their websites, and to stop sending out emails.)
https://ktrh.iheart.com/content/2020-11-30-conservative-censorship-continues/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: If you thought that ‘Big Tech’ was going to back off of its conservative censorship now that the election is over? You were wrong! As documented in the New York Times! of all places, Facebook & CEO Mark Zuckerberg are actually doing more to censor news outlets and people that they don’t agree with. It’s done with a ‘secret ranking system’ that allows CNN and others to be seen, while conservative outlets and posts are restricted. Taking it one step, Facebook is also blocking individual posts (aka freedom of speech) under the guise that they use to rationalize ‘people that are bad for the world’. Scary but true according to media analyst Bryan Preston, who told KTRH “What they’re censoring are stories that they don’t like, that report facts that they don’t want people to see. That is extremely chilling! and given the power that Facebook has over our view of reality now, this cannot stand.” And while Preston believes that Facebook and the other Big Tech companies will have it much easier under Biden, the fight will continue. Who would have thought we would be talking about free speech in 2020? Scary, but true.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Waiting until your forties or fifties, without saving much for retirement, may mean you will need to work longer or make more drastic spending cuts so you will be able to save enough to maintain your standard of living in retirement. Rising incomes can help make saving more manageable, but they can also mean you will need to replace a larger income once you retire. That is assuming your income continues to increase over time. . .Regardless, plan for a secure financial future, so if for some reason, your income does not increase as much as you expected, you can still afford the lifestyle to which you have grown accustomed.)
