— Central Illinois gun store owner says supply is not high enough to meet demand
(DIERSEN: Ever-increasingly, Democrats make it ever-increasingly clear that they are going to use “democracy” to get rid of Republicans once and for all. That forces Republicans to buy more and more and more firearms and ammunition for their self-defense. Libertarians, Greens, Independents, and RINOs are more than happy to see Democrats get rid of Republicans once and for all.)

— Church Attendance Continues to Atrophy – Calvin Lindstrom
(DIERSEN: I should write a book about those who demonize me, denigrate me, and condemn me the most for my not being a member of a church, for my not attending church services, and for my not giving money to a church. I would focus on those who paint themselves as being religious, conservative, and/or Republican. I would focus on those who have lots of religious, government, political, and/or financial clout in Wheaton’s West District, Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County’s 4th District, DuPage County, and/or Illinois. I would focus on those who promote dependency on government, dependency on charity, BLM, LGBTQ, abortion, mass/illegal immigration, booze, gambling, pot, and other vices, abolition of the First and Second Amendments, patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, religious discrimination, and/or national origin discrimination.)

I should write a book about what Kinzinger’s donors think of me. I would focus on those who lead the Illinois Republican Party, were Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct, are/were DuPage County Board members, are/were Wheaton City Council members, led the Milton Township Republican Organization, work for major Republican donors, etc.)

(DIERSEN: GAO did not unionize until 2007. If GAO had been unionized in 1997, I might still be a GAO employee. I was a union member 1966-1969 while I worked for the Post Office and I was a union member 1971-1980 while I worked for IRS. Overwhelmingly, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes are filled with hatred against unions, against current union members, and against former union members. I should write a book about my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes who have demonstrated their hatred against unions, against current union members, and against former union members the most.)

(DIERSEN: Ever since I started working for the Park Forest Post Office in 1966 when I was 18 years old, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have been beyond furious that I got paid sick leave. I should write a book about my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes. I would focus on those who have never applied for a federal job a) because they hate federal employees and federal retirees, b) because they view federal pay and benefits as being terrible, c) because advancement opportunities in the federal government are terrible, d) because they lack required education, work experience, professional certifications, and/or professional licenses, e) because they cannot pass an employment examination, f) because they cannot pass a background investigation, f) because they cannot pass a physical examination, and/or h) because they cannot take the demonization, denigration, and condemnation that comes with being a federal employee or federal retiree.)
