But it would not have if I had not a) earned a job-related bachelor’s degree, b) earned three job-related master’s degrees, c) earned six job-related professional licenses, and d) earned a job-related professional license.

Firestone Stores would not have hired me in 1970 if I had not earned a bachelor’s degree in business from NIU. IRS would not have hired me in 1971 if I had not passed the Federal Service Entrance Examination.

— Trump is conservative. As Trump has more conservative successes, if you are conservative, anticipate/expect that ever-increasingly anti-conservatives will ignore you, dismiss you, belittle you, badmouth you, isolate you, ostracize you, marginalize you, blacklist you, cancel you, demonize you, denigrate you, condemn you, punish you. and get rid of you. It is called displaced aggression. The more demographics that you share with Trump, the faster that anti-conservatives will get rid of you. In addition to being conservative, Trump is Republican, White, male, older, heterosexual, non-veteran, non-poor, Protestant, German American, and his ancestors have been in America for a long time. – Dave Diersen

ILLINOIS REVIEW
— McHenry County GOP Rift: Move to Oust MAGA Committeewoman Draws Comparisons to Xi Jinping and Kim Jong-un-Style Censorship. DD: I should write about how the leaders of the Illinois Republican Party, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Milton Township Republican Organization have treated me since 1999.
https://www.illinoisreview.com/illinoisreview/2025/10/mchenry-county-gop-rift-move-to-oust-maga-committeewoman-draws-comparisons-to-xi-jinping-and-kim-jong-un-style-censorship.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: In McHenry County, a storm is brewing inside the Republican Party – not against Democrats, but against one of its own. Jacqueline Garretson, a proud precinct committeewoman, conservative activist, and unapologetic supporter of President Donald Trump, is under attack from within her own ranks. Garretson has dedicated years of service to expanding the conservative movement in Illinois. She volunteers tirelessly – knocking on doors, organizing events, and raising funds to elect Republicans who actually stand for Republican values. She has become a trusted voice for the grassroots, a leader unafraid to challenge corruption or cowardice — no matter which side of the aisle it comes from. But that honesty has made her a target. Now, RINOs inside the McHenry Township Republican Organization are reportedly moving to remove Garretson from her elected position as precinct committeewoman. Her so-called “offense?” Speaking truth and calling out fake Republicans who use the GOP label but push Democrat-lite policies once in power. This isn’t just an attack on one woman – it’s an attack on the entire grassroots conservative movement. Garretson’s fight mirrors a broader pattern happening across Illinois, where establishment insiders have tried to muzzle anyone who dares to question their grip on power. Illinois Republican leaders have even attempted to silence Illinois Review – the largest conservative news publication in the state, known for exposing corruption, holding politicians accountable, and giving a voice to the forgotten Republican base. Illinois Review has been shared by President Donald Trump himself on Truth Social – a testament to its reach and credibility among real conservatives. Yet instead of embracing this powerful platform, party insiders tried to shut it down, block it from events, and cut off communication – all because it refused to play along with their backroom politics. This type of censorship is something Americans expect from dictators like Vladimir Putin, Nicolas Maduro, Kim Jong-Un, and Xi Jinping – not from Republican leaders in the Land of Lincoln. In those regimes, anyone who challenges authority is silenced, punished, and jailed. Now, that same authoritarian mindset is creeping into the Illinois GOP. The move to remove Garretson – and to silence Illinois Review – is nothing short of an assault on the First Amendment. It sends a chilling message: if you speak out, if you expose hypocrisy, if you stand with President Trump and the MAGA movement, you’ll be targeted. Grassroots conservatives in McHenry County see what’s happening, and they’re not fooled. They know that Garretson’s real “crime” is refusing to bow to establishment pressure. They know she represents a new generation of Republicans – bold, patriotic, and fiercely loyal to America First values. If the McHenry Township Republican Organization follows through with its plan to remove her, it won’t just be ousting a precinct leader – it will be signaling to every patriot in Illinois that free speech and conservative conviction are no longer welcome. But history has shown that attempts to silence the truth only make it louder. Just ask Donald Trump.)

TEXAS TRIBUNE
— Texas GOP to consider blocking lawmakers from 2026 primary ballot in first test of new censure rule

https://myparistexas.com/texas-gop-to-consider-blocking-lawmakers-from-2026-primary-ballot-in-first-test-of-new-censure-rule/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The Republican Party of Texas’ governing board is set to meet in the state Capitol on Saturday to consider censuring state representatives who party leaders deem insufficiently conservative to bear the GOP brand, potentially banning them from the 2026 Republican primary ballot. The tribunal will be the first of its kind, a daylong meeting to determine whether 10 Texas House Republicans tried to thwart GOP priorities during the Legislature’s 140-day session earlier this year. Although many Republicans lauded the 2025 session as the most conservative ever, some party activists believe members of House leadership scuttled long-sought GOP priorities and should be barred from the primary ballot under an untested rule adopted at the Texas GOP’s 2024 convention. . .The effort comes after delegates at last year’s convention expanded Rule 44 — the part of the Texas GOP’s rulebook dealing with censures — to bar officials from the primary ballot if they have been censured within the last two years. Lawmakers can be reprimanded for working against the state party’s legislative priorities or the broader principles outlined in the party platform and preamble. For members facing censures Saturday, the transgressions include voting for Burrows as speaker and approving this year’s House rules package, which banned Democrats from serving as committee chairs but left them with other means of influence. Activists in the party initially teased a more sweeping effort to censure the 36 House Republicans who joined with Democrats to elevate Burrows to the speakership in January. But enthusiasm within the party to invoke Rule 44 has waned after the Burrows-led House shepherded numerous conservative bills to Gov. Greg Abbott’s desk, and as Abbott and President Donald Trump have thrown their support behind the first-term speaker. Some within the party have argued the infractions don’t merit such a drastic maneuver as denying ballot access, which critics have long framed as an illegal tactic that runs afoul of democratic norms. “Rule 44 is not a campaign strategy, it is not a substitute for the primary,” SREC member Rolando Garcia wrote on social media recently. “It is an extraordinarily penalty intended to be used sparingly on only the most egregious cases.” How Rule 44 came to be In 2023, the divide between the business-oriented establishment and the socially conservative grassroots of the Texas GOP reached a boiling point. However, those tensions had been simmering for years. The Texas GOP first defined Rule 44 at the party’s 2016 convention in Dallas, allowing local party leaders to initiate censures against their elected officials for three violations of the party platform. The language also allowed the state party and local parties to campaign against a censured official.)

Instead, Vatican watchers witnessed yet another bizarre spectacle this week that has conservative Catholics questioning what exactly their church leadership stands for anymore. The latest episode perfectly encapsulates why so many faithful feel abandoned by Rome—and boy, did they get a doozy. While Christians face persecution across the globe—from Islamic terror groups burning churches to believers being martyred for their faith—Pope Leo XIV found time for what he apparently considers more pressing matters.)
