— As Gov. Pritzker speaks: We sure hope Illinois doesn’t need a border wall – Editorial (DIERSEN: Illinois Democrats and Illinois RINOs encourage people to come to America illegally and to stay in America illegally. That is treason. Needless-to-say, Illinois Democrats and Illinois RINOs should be arrested and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.)

— Wanted: Public servants for thankless jobs. OK, who’s in? – Christopher Borrelli (DIERSEN: In 1971, were it not for EEOC, I might very well have not become a public servant. In early 1971, I accepted a job offer from Oldsmobile. When I gave my 2-week notice to my Firestone Stores boss, he rudely immediately fired me. Then, Oldsmobile withdrew its job officer saying that it had just agreed to stop hiring Whites to settle an EEOC complaint. That directly resulted in my accepting a job offer from IRS. I had to have a job. My application for a financial hardship draft deferment to help support my mother and brother was pending.)

GAO, I would presented a jury with many examples in which GAO paid its female employees more than it paid its male employees who had more job-related work experience, more job-related education, more job-related professional certifications, and/or more job-related professional licenses. GAO was under tremendous pressure from Democrat politicians to hire, to retain, and to promote young Democrat minorities and young Democrat females.)

Of course, because I was Republican, White, male, old, and non-veteran, I was always on all those “hit lists.”)
