Most recently, they have focused on discouraging Republicans from supporting Wheaton’s Independence Day parades.)

BLOOMINGTON PANTAGRAPH
— Rodriguez criticizes opening of LaHood’s new office – Kevin Barlow  (DIERSEN: What do your critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes criticize you for doing?  What do you say to my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes who increasingly discourage Republicans from supporting Wheaton’s Independence Day parades?)
http://www.pantagraph.com/news/local/government-and-politics/rodriguez-criticizes-opening-of-lahood-s-new-office/article_81ea01d3-a9e5-5a9c-bd59-141ddf1d4cfd.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The Democratic candidate for the 18th Congressional District blasted his Republican opponent Tuesday morning for using taxpayer money to promote his campaign. Junius Rodriguez said Republican U.S. Rep. Darin LaHood of from Dunlap committed “abuses of power” allowed by incumbency by opening a new office in Bloomington and sending a taxpayer-funded promotional mailer a few months before the election. He promised to introduce bills in Congress to eliminate both practices in the run-up to an election. While LaHood’s staff defended his opening of an office at 3004 General Electric Road in Bloomington on Monday as a way to improve constituent service, Rodriguez called it an example of LaHood using taxpayer money to promote his re-election campaign. “When a politician makes this type of decision just 10 weeks before a contested election, it is hard to view it as anything more than a crass political ploy to score points using the taxpayer’s dime,” he said Tuesday at a news conference at the McLean County Democratic headquarters in Bloomington.)

THE ATLANTIC
— Fewer Unions, Lower Pay for Everybody  If organized labor were as strong today as it was in the late 1970s, nonunion men without a high-school diploma would be earning 9 percent more, according to a new study. – ALANA SEMUELS  (DIERSEN: Virtually all my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes are vehemently anti-union.  They do not own/drive vehicles that were made by union employees.  They stress that I was a union member for almost 12 years.  They hint/imply/argue/shout a) that because of unions, the Post Office hired me in 1966, b) that because of unions, the Post Office was not able to get rid of me for almost 3 years, c) that because of unions, IRS hired me in 1972, d) that because of unions, IRS promoted me in 1972, 1973, and 1974, and e) that because of unions, IRS was not able to get rid of me for almost 9 years.)

THE BEAST
— Trump Flies to Mexico to Meet President Who Called Him ‘Hitler’  (DIERSEN: Sooner or later, if you do not condemn Trump and condemn Trump’s supporters, anti-Trumps will call you Hitler and even worse things, and even sooner if you are Protestant, conservative, Republican, American, White, male, older, rich, gun owner, non-veteran, and/or if your ancestors have been in America for a long time.  Who are the leading anti-Trumps in Illinois, in your county, in your township/ward, in your municipality, and in your precinct?  If you put up a Trump/Pence yard sign, how fast would the anti-Trumps vandalize it or steal it?  How soon, if not already, will anti-Trump employers a) refuse to hire Trump supporters and b) fire their employees who are Trump supporters?  How soon, if not already, will anti-Trump schools a) refuse to admit Trump supporters and b) expel their students who are Trump supporters?  How soon,if not already, will anti-Trump retailers a) refuse to sell anything to Trump supporters and b) bar Trump supporters from entering their stores?  How soon, if not already, will anti-Trumps force Trump supporters to wear “Make America Great Again” caps so they will know who to beat up if not kill?  From what I see, ever-increasingly anti-Trumps are filled with hatred of Trump and filled with hatred of Trump’s supporters.  Anti-Trumps are anti-Protestant, anti-conservative, anti-Republican, anti-American, anti-White, anti-male, anti-older people, anti-rich people, anti-gun owners, anti-non-veterans, and/or anti-those whose ancestors have been in America longer than their ancestors.)

— Asking Job Applicants Their Current Salary Could Become Illegal Nationwide  A new bill aims to nix the dreaded interview question. – Martha C. White  (DIERSEN: Who hints/implies/argues/shouts that you are/were overpaid?  My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have always hinted/implied/argued/shouted that I was overpaid.  In 1997, in today’s GS-13 Step 10 dollars, GAO paid me $120,427.  In my defense, I had worked for GAO for almost 18 years and I had worked for IRS for almost 9 years.  I had three job-related master’s degrees, a job-related bachelor’s degree, six job-related professional certifications, and a job-related professional license.)
