NAPERVILLE COMMUNITY TELEVISION
— Council Moves to Make Naperville a “Welcoming City”  (DIERSEN: As everyone knows, “Welcoming City” is code for “Sanctuary City,” that is, it is code for a city that says individuals, organizations, and companies that are members of the following groups are NOT WELCOME: Trump supporters, Protestants, conservatives, Republicans, Americans, Whites, males, older people, rich people, gun owners, German Americans, draft avoiders (except Bill Clinton), and/or those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time.)
http://www.nctv17.com/council-moves-to-make-naperville-a-welcoming-city/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: At the most recent City Council meeting, Councilwoman Becky Anderson directed staff to write up a resolution declaring that Naperville is welcoming to everyone regardless of religion, race or sexual orientation. This after residents spoke during public forum at recent meetings, requesting that the council take some official action to help all feel welcomed in our town. “We make sure that everyone is accepted within our city boundaries who are residents and who are visitors. I think there are a lot of people with the rhetoric that’s going around right now in the country, there are a lot of people of the Muslim faith who are frightened,” said Councilwoman Anderson. The proposed resolution, which was backed by many council members, would not be considered a legally binding ordinance, but more of a statement that says the city serves everyone equally.)

— Pres. Trump Tweets Support for Women on Int’l Women’s Day (DIERSEN: While I worked for the federal government for almost 30 years, my superiors were always under tremendous pressure from Democrat politicians a) to hire, retain, and promote Democrat minorities and Democrat females and b) to make way for them by getting rid of their employees who were Republican, White, male, older, and/or non-veteran. While I worked for the federal government for almost 30 years, I ALWAYS complied with all their Affirmative Action, Diversity, and Inclusion mandates, that is, I always gave preference to my superiors, to my supervisors, to my coworkers, and to my subordinates who were Democrat, minority, female, and/or younger.  However, I complained about political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation, and that is why they wasted my career and forced me to retire in 1997 when I was 49 years old.)
