— Are you a Trump supporter? I am. I always support Republican candidates, Republican elected/appointed officials, and Republican party leaders. If Trump supporters wanted to communicate with each other, how would they find out who the Trump supporters are in their precinct, in their municipality, in their township/ward, in their county, and in Illinois? – Dave Diersen

In 1966, I just barely made it into the upper 20% of my high school class, my ACT score was 24, and UIC accepted me. My critics/opponents back then were very surprised a) because I spend my junior and senior years and the summer in between washing dishes for the minimum wage, b) because my father not only had not attended college, he was the first of his ancestors to earn a high school diploma, and c) because my mother had never attended high school.)

— Peruvian woman can be deported from U.S. for voting illegally – Joseph Ax
http://www.reuters.com/article/us-illinois-crime-voterfraud-idUSKBN15S2GN
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Fitzpatrick, who is married to a U.S. citizen, applied for an Illinois driver’s license over a decade ago, according to court papers. Like many states, Illinois allows individuals to register to vote when applying for a license under a “motor-voter” law. She showed a desk clerk her Peruvian passport and U.S. green card when filling out the paperwork, her attorney said. The clerk asked her whether she wanted to register to vote and told her, “It’s up to you,” according to court papers. Fitzpatrick’s lawyer, Richard Hanus, told the 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Chicago that his client therefore had “official approval” and should not be held responsible for an innocent mistake. A three-judge panel wrote on Monday that Fitzpatrick had checked a box affirming she was a U.S. citizen and that the clerk’s response was not an authorization.)

— Tech Firms Facing Anti-Discrimination Lawsuits May Have An Easier Time With Trump’s Labor Department – Matt Drange (DIERSEN: What is Trump’s position on Affirmative Action, on Diversity, and on Inclusion? From what I see, nether Trump nor anyone around him have ever been adversely impacted by Affirmative Action, by Diversity, or by Inclusion. Given that, one might expect that Trump would have no sympathy for those like me who are/were adversely impacted by Affirmative Action, by Diversity, and by Inclusion. The federal government, which Trump now heads, wasted my federal career and forced me to retire in 1997 when I was 49 years. The federal government would not have done that if I had been a Democrat, a minority, a female, or a veteran. Does Trump understand that Democrats use Affirmative Action, Diversity, and Inclusion to get rid of Republicans, and especially Republicans like me who are Protestant (I was baptized, raised and confirmed as a Missouri Synod Lutheran.), conservative, White, male, older (I am 68 years old now.), non-poor, gun owners, German Americans (I am 100% German national origin.), draft avoiders (I obtained student draft deferments 1966-1970 and a financial hardship draft deferment 1970-1971.), and/or those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time (My ancestor have been in America sins 1844.)?)
