— Which homeowners in your county, in your township, in your municipality, in your school district, in your precinct, in your neighborhood, and on your block will Democrat and RINO leaders expect/encourage/force the most to house their illegals and to provide them with food, clothing, medical care, transportation, education, etc.? It should be Democrat and RINO homeowners. Will it be those who are wealthy, own big homes, have empty bedrooms, have donated money to Democrats and/or to RINOs, are minority, are female, are LGBTQ, despise/hate Trump, etc.? – Dave Diersen

Because of ever-increasing Democrat and RINO led disapproval/disgust/hatred against those who share my demographics (conservative, Republican, White, male, Protestant, 100% German American, and my ancestors have been in America for a long time), if I was 30 today, I would not have been able to accomplish what I did. I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt when I was 30. I got married and bought a home in Wheaton with my wife when I was 29. I earned an MBA from Loyola when I was 27. I bought real estate when I was 27, 25, and 24. I bought new cars when I was 29, 25, 20, 19, and 17. I graduated debt-free from NIU owing a 1969 Dodge Charger SE when I was 21. The Democrats who ran the Post Office hired me when I was 18, Firestone Stores when I was 21, and IRS when I was 22, but they would not hire me today if I was 18, 21, or 22.
