— President Trump gives command to NASCAR drivers at Daytona 500 – AP
https://abc7chicago.com/5937071/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: President Donald Trump gave an election-year embrace to NASCAR and its fans Sunday when he became the second president ever to attend the Daytona 500. Given the honor of commanding drivers to start their engines, Trump made a grand entrance before the start of the race. He gave thousands of fans a flyover of Air Force One and then rode onto the track in the presidential motorcade as the audience roared with delight. The motorcade took roughly a quarter lap before pulling aside in an infield staging area. The president’s visit was widely welcomed by NASCAR fans. Trump 2020 flags flooded the infield, and some fans wore them as capes in the garage area.)

I should write a book about the way that GAO, IRS, and the Post Office treated those who shared my demographics. The way that organizations treat their members sends strong messages to everyone. I should write a book about the way that Milton Township Republican Organization (MTRO), DuPage County Republican Central Committee (DCRCC), Illinois Republican Party (IRP), Wheaton Chamber of Commerce (WCC), and American Association of Political Consultants (AAPC) treat those who share my demographics and the way that TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois and Illinois Center Right Coalition (ICRC) treated those who shared my demographics. The way that governments treat their residents sends strong messages to everyone. I should write a book about the way that Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois treat those who share my demographics. I would focus on the adverse actions that GAO, IRS, Post Office, MTRO, DCRCC, IRP, WCC, AAPC, TAPROOT, and ICRC have taken against those who share my demographics. Those adverse actions drive people who share my demographics away from the aforesaid employers, organizations, and governments.)

PSYCHOLOGY TODAY
— What Is Conformity? (DIERSEN: I should write a book about what it takes to be accepted. I have the best record by far for attending Milton Township Republican Organizations (MTRO) meetings and fundraisers since 1999. I was a TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois chairman 2005-2012, Wheaton Chamber of Commerce Government Affairs Committee member 2003-2011, MTRO webmaster 2008-2010 and 2000-2004, Illinois Center Right Coalition Steering Committee member 2003-2007, American Association of Political Consultants Midwest Chapter board member 2001-2004, GAO employee 1980-1997, Association of Government Accountants Chicago Chapter Executive Committee member 1983-1996, IRS employee 1971-1980, Firestone Stores employee 1970-1972, Post Office Employee 1966-1969, etc.) 
https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/basics/conformity
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Conformity is typically motivated by a person’s identification with a specific group. In theory, to be truly accepted as a member, an individual must adopt the norms and rules that govern the group’s behavior. . .That usually means copying the actions of others, looking to the group when deciding how to think or behave, or doing what is “expected” based on widely accepted (if often unspoken) social norms.)

Kresges in Chicago Heights part-time during my junior and senior years at Crete-Monee High School and full-time during the summer in between. My understanding is a) that I was the only White to hold that job, b) that I was the only male to hold that job, and c) that I held that job longer than anyone else.)

DAILY HERALD
— FRONT PAGE TOP OF FOLD WITH TWO COLOR PICTURES: Trump ousts two impeachment inquiry witnesses – AP (DIERSEN: GAO works for Congress. The Democrats who ran GAO wasted my career and ousted me in 1997 when I was 49 years old. If Duckworh had been my U.S. Senator back then, would she have come to my defense? My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes stress that Peter Fitzgerald, my U.S. Senator back then, did not come to my defense. They stress that concerning Diersen v. GAO, a) Republican Fitzgerald appointed the judge and GAO’s defense attorney, b) that Republican Dennis Hastert was the Speaker of the House while the lawsuit was pending, c) that Republican Henty Hyde was my U.S. Representative while the lawsuit was pending, and d) that Republican George Bush was President while the lawsuit was pending. My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes ignore Rutan v. Republican Party of Illinois and use the aforesaid to hint/imply/argue/shout that because Republican elected officials did not come to my defense, a) that my claims have no merit and b) that GAO wasted my career and ousted me because I am a White supremacist, Nazi, KKK member, hater, racist, sexist, bigot, and even worse things.)

ILLINOIS FAMILY INSTITUTE
— In Chicago, Schools Re-Write History With “1619” Lies – Alex Newman (DIERSEN: Ever-increasingly, to send your children to a public school is to make them “good little Democrats,” that is, to make them 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://illinoisfamily.org/education/in-chicago-schools-re-write-history-with-1619-lies/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: In Chicago Public Schools, captive students are being indoctrinated to believe that one of the very first societies in the world to end slavery was actually a monster defined by the evils of slavery — almost as if this monstrous nation had invented it. This narrative is peddled despite the fact that the nation in question sacrificed hundreds of thousands of its finest men to eradicate slavery — not only ending it domestically, but eventually, worldwide, too. And this slanderous lie is peddled despite the fact that institution of slavery has been ubiquitous throughout human history — at least until America and the Christian West put an end to it. Indeed, in the African nation of Mauritania, slavery did not even become a crime until 2007, and the institution remains firmly entrenched there, as it does across broad swaths of Africa and the Middle East. But supposedly, it’s America that is evil. Welcome to upside world of America’s “progressives” — the post-modernist absurdity where good is evil, evil is good, up is down, and truth does not even really exist.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: The third impeachment trial in American history ended on Wednesday not with a bang but with a whimper. But here in Waukesha County, a patchwork of suburbs, small cities and rural areas west of Milwaukee that holds more Republican votes than any other county in this crucial swing state, there was a nervous excitement. Yard signs have been flying off the shelves in the county Republican Party’s headquarters in a strip mall near a vegan food supply store. More than 150 people showed up for a State of the Union watch party on Tuesday night, applauding and cheering in a giant hall. And volunteers like Diane Schlosser, a 63-year-old homemaker, have been walking in off the street to sign up.)
