I stayed at University Plaza Dormitory, but I lived with my parents in Crete weekends during my first semester and during the summer. I drove a 1969 Dodge Charger SE. My father died suddenly in October.)

— Court calls for group to study jury selection discrimination – AP (DIERSEN: How bad are your demographics? From what I see, ever-increasingly, the more of the following that you are, the more certain that judges and juries will rule against you: Trump supporter, Protestant, conservative, Republican, White, male, older, non-poor, gun owner, German American, draft avoider, and/or if your ancestors have been in America for a long time. Ever-increasingly, Trump-haters paint the aforesaid demographics negatively.)

FOX NEWS
— 2019 was American journalism’s worst year ever – Here are 7 reasons why – Dan Gainor
https://www.foxnews.com/opinion/dan-gainor-2019-was-american-journalisms-worst-year-ever-here-are-7-reasons-why
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Hatred of Trump The left-wing media hate Trump more than they hate anyone. It’s the foundation of everything they do, from Twitter snark to promoting the bogus impeachment. Left-wing journalists have repeatedly compared Trump to the worst people in history. MSNBC host Donny Deutsch told viewers that Trump had “so many stunning parallels to what Hitler was doing in the early ’30s.” Then he added one of the memorably stupid comments of 2019: “I’m not saying Trump is going to slaughter 6 million Jews, but …” The media also hate Trump supporters. CNN Chief Media Correspondent Brian Stelter is one of many journalists who have referred to Trump voters as the “Trump cult.” He even inquired if the president was using “mind control.”)

DAILY CALLER
— Don’t Count On Trump To Leave A Lasting Impact On The GOP – Charles Kolb (DIERSEN: I should write a book about those who have had a lasting impact on the Illinois Republican Party (IRP), DuPage County Republican Central Committee (DCRCC), and Milton Township Republican Central Committee (MTRCC). I would focus on those who have had the most success in driving conservatives out of the IRP, DCRCC, and MTRCC, that is, those who had the most success in driving the base of the IRP, DCRCC, and MTRCC out of the IRP, DCRCC, and MTRCC, that is, those who had the most success in destroying the IRP, DCRCC, and MTRCC.)

AMERICAN THINKER
— What ‘white privilege’ means in small-town West Virginia – Lloyd Marcus (DIERSEN: Politics is nasty. Do your political critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes demonize, denigrate, and condemn your hometown? Mine do. They demonize, denigrate, and condemn Crete where I lived 1948-1972 and where my brother continues to live. They paint Crete as having been full of German Lutherans who were White supremacists, Nazis, KKK members, haters, racists, sexists, bigots, and even worse things when I lived there. I should write a book about critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes. I would focus on those in Wheaton, Glen Ellyn, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois who have lots of religious, government, political, and/or financial clout.)
https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2019/12/what_white_privilege_means_in_smalltown_west_virginia.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The hate-filled war on straight white men has become so extreme that the University of Melbourne Student Union wants to ban white men from speaking in classes so women and transgenders will feel free to contribute to discussions. Insane social justice warriors demand that white men be silenced — not allowed to have an opinion regarding reviewing movies, climate change, and everything in between. Folks, we have allowed leftists to create a generation of hate-filled social justice warrior terrorists who believe that the world would be a much better place if we could get rid of scum-of-the-earth white guys like Pop Kern. While I am pleased that more and more people are fighting back, we need more people telling SJWs, “No! Back off! Get a life, and get a job!” The Democratic Party is the greatest distributor of class envy, racial hate, and division. Democrats have disdain for all things patriotic, wholesome, and good. The party has deteriorated to become a mob of hate-filled treasonous domestic terrorists who must be crushed in 2020.)

ATLANTIC
— It’s a Weird Time to Be Young and Conservative – EMMA GREEN (DIERSEN: In the organizations that you are a member of, what percent of the leaders of those organizations are conservative? A conservative is someone who defends and advances the traditional family, right to life, immigration, illegal drugs, Second Amendment, equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving), and the rest of the planks in the Republican Party platform. Based on the aforesaid definition, extremely few of the leaders of the Illinois Republican Party, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Milton Township Republican Central Committee are conservative.)

GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— For you, what has changed from 10 year ago, since 2010? 10 years ago, I was the TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois chairman, a Wheaton Chamber of Commerce Government Affairs Committee member, and the Milton Township Republicans Central Committee webmaster, but my critic/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have ended that. My wife worked for Central DuPage Hospital, but she is retired now. My mother, her sister, and one of her brothers were alive, but they have died. My aunt was living on her own, but she has been in assisted living the last 10 years. My hometown Crete was doing better than it is now. I was not on Social Security and Medicare, but I am now. I did not have type 2 diabetes, but I do now. I put together and sent out a GOPUSA ILLINOIS email each and every morning, but by the end of 2015, I started putting one together and sending it out each and every evening too. – Dave Diersen
