— GAO finding no surprise – BOB JACK, North Las Vegas, Nev. (DIERSEN: My
critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes side with the Democrats
who run GAO against me. What does that say about my critics/opponents, their
operatives, and their dupes?)
https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2020/jan/21/letters-to-the-editor-gao-finding-no-surprise/
(FROM THE LETTER:
Recently, the Government Accountability Office, a component of Congress, found
President Trump guilty of withholding funds from the Ukrainians (“Trump says
GAO is part of ‘the Swamp’ after watchdog finds he broke law on Ukraine aid,”
Web, Jan. 17). Let’s be clear: The GAO is a deep-state creature composed of
bureaucrats who are left-wing sympathizers and anti-Trumpers. The malaise which
infects the general federal bureaucracy that created the deep state likewise is
at work in the purportedly bipartisan GAO. The American people have lost their
power to influence the direction of the country by the election of the
president. Instead, lifelong left-leaning bureaucrats serve as a resistance
mechanism working against the will of the people, who seek to move the country
in the direction of constitutional integrity and traditional ideals. The
American people must deal with the problem of the deep state by forcefully
asserting their will at the ballot box until the scourge of the deep state has
been purged and democracy is restored to the nation.)

PJ MEDIA
— Progressives Treat the Unequal as Equal – PHILIP CARL SALZMAN (DIERSEN: What
did you do to qualify yourself for better paying jobs? I earned a) a
job-related bachelor’s degree when I was 21 in 1970 and job-related master’s
degrees when I was 27, 31, and 48, b) job-related professional certifications
when I was 30, 32, 41, 45, 47, and 48, and c) a job-related professional
license when I was 32.)
https://pjmedia.com/news-and-politics/progressives-treat-the-unequal-as-equal/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: In
the 21st century in America and elsewhere, self-described progressives strove
to display virtue and gain power through advocating a maximalist position on
equality. Equality of opportunity, still imperfectly implemented, was
jettisoned in favor of equality of result or outcome. Any inequality, from
whatever source, was deemed by progressive to be evil and requiring correction.
This has led to the attempt by progressives to treat inequalities among parties
as illegitimate, and imposed equality as obligatory. As a result, many new
proposed equalities were specious. Here are some examples. Progressives,
including most Democrats and most candidates for the Democratic nomination for
president, now claim equality and equivalence between criminal illegal aliens
who have entered the country by stealth, and legal immigrants who have been
admitted by government procedures, and citizens. Progressives advocate open
borders, allowing anyone who arrives to enter the country, and providing for
them the same medical and welfare benefits given to legal immigrants and
native-born citizens. One reason for supporting open borders is that
progressives see America as an oppressive race hierarchy, and open borders
would allow the intake of multitudes of people of color, thus displacing the
evil American whites. Progressives do not think that illegal aliens, even
criminals, should be expelled, and demand that the Immigration and Customs
Enforcement Agency (ICE) be restricted or disbanded. Many Democrat-controlled
jurisdictions have declared themselves sanctuaries for illegal immigrants,
flouting laws passed by Congress.)
