— Are we a ‘racist nation’? Who’s asking? – CLARENCE PAGE (DIERSEN: Overwhelmingly, citizens of foreign countries who come to America are minorities. If America is a racist nation, why do so many minorities want to come to America and to stay in America? Ever-increasingly, Democrats use government a) to give minorities preference over Whites and b) to give citizens of foreign countries preference over citizens of America. Democrats have declared a Second Civil War on Republicans. Democrats see minorities and citizens of foreign countries as being their soldiers in their army to get rid of Republicans once and for all.)

CRAIN’S CHICAGO BUSINESS
— Basecamp employees bail out after CEO bans political talk. More than a dozen people say they’re resigning from the Chicago-based maker of project management systems. – JOHN PLETZ (DIERSEN: While I worked for the Democrats who ran GAO’s Chicago office 1980-1997, my Democrat coworkers and Democrat subordinates frequently asked me questions to get me to affirm a) that I was a conservative Republican, b) that I opposed political affiliation discrimination, c) that I opposed reverse discrimination, that is, that I opposed race and gender based preference giving, d) that I opposed age discrimination, e) that I had avoided the draft, f) that I was 100% German American, g) that I was a Missouri Synod Lutheran, h) that my ancestors had been in America since 1844, h) that had lived in Crete 1948-1972 and that I had lived in Wheaton since 1978, i) that my wife had a good job, j) that my wife and I had given up trying to have children, that we did not adopt, and we did not become foster parents, k) that we had a home built in Wheaton in 1984, l) that I bought collector cars in 1989 and 1994, m) that etc. Of course, they shared my responses with my Democrat supervisors and superiors.)

MILWAUKEE INDEPENDENT
— DIERSEN HEADLINE: How long have your ancestors been in America? Even-increasingly, according to Democrats, if you are a White male Republican, the longer that your ancestors have been in America, a) the more that you have benefitted from their discrimination against minorities and against females, b) the more reparations that you should pay, and c) the more that you should pay the price of Affirmative Action, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. My critics/opponents stress that my ancestors have been in America since 1844, that I am White, that I am male, that I am Republican, that I am old (born in 1948), that I am conservative, that I was baptized, raised, and confirmed as a Missouri Synod Lutheran, that I am 100% German national origin, that I lived in Crete 1948-1972 and I have lived in Wheaton since 1978, that I avoided the draft, that my wife and I never had dependents, that I have good health, and that I am not poor. In my defense, I stress that my ancestors always lived in northeast Illinois, that they never had enough clout to discriminate against anyone even if they wanted to, that I bought a new town home in University Park in 1972, that I was a union member for almost 12 years, and that my Democrat superiors in the federal government forced me to pay the price of Affirmative Action, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion big time.)

ILLINOIS DEPARTMENT OF FINANCIAL AND PROFESSIONAL REGULATION
— Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation Announces Prior Convictions Not a Barrier to Receiving Professional Licenses (DIERSEN: In 1981, when I was 32 years old, I became the only licensed CPA in GAO’s Chicago office. Of course, my Democrat GAO superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates were furious about that. My qualifications for being licensed included my passing the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, my having worked for IRS for almost 9 years, my having worked for GAO for 16 months, and my passing the Certified Internal Auditor (CIA) examination on my first attempt in 1981. Few of my GAO coworkers and subordinates had taken the CPA or CIA examinations, let alone passed them, let alone passed them on their first attempt. Few of my GAO coworkers and subordinates had any work experience before GAO hired them.)
