THE HILL
— New Census data to show US diversifying at fastest rate ever – REID WILSON
(DIERSEN: Democrats are overjoyed about this, and especially Democrats who are anti-law enforcement, anti-Trump, anti-conservative, anti-patriotic, anti-Republican, anti-American, anti-White, anti-male, anti-older people, anti-heterosexual, anti-traditional marriage/family, anti-non-poor people, anti-gun owners, anti-Christian, anti-Protestant, anti-Italian American, anti-German American, and/or anti-those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time. Overwhelmingly and increasingly, non-whites need/want massive government assistance, and therefore, they vote for Democrats.)
https://thehill.com/homenews/state-watch/567383-new-census-data-to-show-us-diversifying-at-fastest-rate-ever
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The new figures are almost certain to shine a spotlight on a trend that annual surveys have illustrated over the last several years: The number of white Americans is declining. The white population in America has grown far more slowly than minority groups for decades. White people are having fewer children and starting their families at a later age than other groups, a long-term trend that demographers have called a baby bust. The opioid epidemic, too, has claimed so many lives that it measurably reduced the nation’s life expectancy, especially among white people.)

SAGE JOURNALS
— OCTOBER 24, 2017 FLASHBACK: Who Shares and Comments on News?: A Cross-National Comparative Analysis of Online and Social Media Participation – Antonis Kalogeropoulos, Samuel Negredo, Ike Picone, Rasmus Kleis Nielsen
(DIERSEN: GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters fill a tremendous void in Illinois, DuPage County, and Milton Township. It would be great if the Illinois Republican Party would regularly share far more government and political news and commentary articles that are of statewide interest. It would be great if the DuPage County Republican Central Committee would regularly share far more government and political news and commentary articles that are of countywide interest. It would be great if the Milton Township Republican Organization would regularly share far more government and political news and commentary articles that are of township-wide interest.)
https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/2056305117735754
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Based on data from the 2016 Reuters Institute Digital News Report, and controlling for a range of factors, we find that (1) people who use social media for news and a high number of different social media platforms are more likely to also engage more actively with news outside social media by commenting on news sites and sharing news via email, (2) political partisans on both sides are more likely to engage in sharing and commenting particularly on news stories in social media, and (3) people with high interest in hard news are more likely to comment on news on both news sites and social media and share stores via social media (and people with high interest in any kind of news [hard or soft] are more likely to share stories via email).)

https://www.sj-r.com/story/news/2021/07/21/gov-pritzker-cutting-corporate-welfare-help-expand-education/8048035002/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Illinois Republican Party Chairman Don Tracy said in a statement that Pritzker’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic has been a failure. “Gov. Pritzker failed our most vulnerable in their time of need,” said Tracy, a Springfield resident. “When our children missed an entire year of in-person education, Pritzker was silent while political teachers unions forced children to stay home even when the science and CDC said they should be back in school. “When thousands of Illinoisans were laid off from work, they went weeks without help from Pritzker’s incompetent state unemployment agency,” Tracy said. “And when our nation’s elderly heroes needed protection from the virus in our state facilities, the tragic mistakes of the Pritzker administration led to the death of 36 veterans at LaSalle Veterans Home.”)

In 1997, when I was 49 years old, my Democrat GAO superiors forced me to take their early retirement “offer” so that they could give my job and my preferred corner office to my Black subordinate, which they did. My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have no problem with the aforesaid. According to them, I should the price of Affirmative Action, Diversity, and Inclusion big time, that is, pay reparations big time, because I am White, male, healthy, draft avoider, non-poor, Protestant, 100% German American, conservative, Republican, married since 1978, and my ancestors have been in America since 1844.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: “We work with publishers to keep them aware of our monetization policies, which cover user comments on sites, and offer guidance on how to address policy violations if they wish to be reinstated,” a Google spokesperson said at the time. “We have policies like these for many reasons, including to ensure companies advertising with us have confidence their ads aren’t running against dangerous, derogatory or hateful content.” Google also warned The Federalist about the “dangerous” content in its comments section adding that if the comments persisted, Google would remove the publication from its ads platform. The Federalist has since deleted its comments section. Federalist co-founder Sean Davis said Google’s response was a “pretty terrifying example of the power that you have of the unholy union of corrupt media and monopolistic tech oligarchs.”)

(DIERSEN: Should people be expected to take bad jobs? According to my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes, all the jobs that I had were bad jobs that they would never stoop to take.

— Donations for racial equity have surged. But by how much? – HALELUYA HADERO
(DIERSEN: To promote racial and gender equity is to take opportunities and money away from Whites and from men and to give those opportunities and that money to minorities and to females. In 1971, when I was 22 years old, Oldsmobile withdrew a job offer that I had accepted saying that Oldsmobile had just agreed to stop hiring Whites to settle an EEOC complaint. In 1997, when I was 49 years old, my Democrat GAO superiors forced me to take their early retirement “offer” so that they could give my job and my preferred corner office to my Black subordinate, which they did. While I worked for IRS 1971-1980 and for GAO 1980-1997, my Democrat superiors promoted many females over me who had less education, work experience, and/or professional certifications and licenses than I had.)
