— You can’t celebrate America without celebrating the freedom of the press – Eric Zorn (DIERSEN: I should interview Democrat political reporters in Illinois about what they think of the way that my critics/opponents who are activists, candidates, elected officials, party leaders, major donors, political consultants, etc. and who state that they are religious, conservative, and/or Republican treat me and treat my GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails. Democrat political reporters in Illinois are fully aware of how the aforesaid treat me and treat my GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails.)

— DIERSEN HEADLINE: Anti-Trumps say “Despite Trump, immigrants less reviled.” Ever-increasingly, anti-Trumps hint/imply/argue/shout that if you are a Trump supporter, the longer that your ancestors have been in America, a) the more that you have benefited from their discrimination against minorities and against females, b) the more that you should pay the price of Affirmative Action, Diversity, and Inclusion, c) the more that you are White supremacist, Nazi, KKK member, hater, racist, sexist, bigot, and even worse things, and d) the sooner that you should be gotten rid of.)

— Animal rescue community demands answers after mayor fires Animal Care and Control director – Yvonne Kim (DIERSEN: Of course, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes stress that my Republican U.S. Senators and Republican U.S. Representatives did NOT demand answers a) when my Democrat GAO superiors forced me to retire in 1997 when I was 49 years old, gave me unfair performance expectations and appraisals, always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes, did not promote me beyond GS-13, got rid of my mentor in 1987, kept me off audits of IRS for all but 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for GAO, and forced me to take an $19,203 pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980; b) when my Democrat IRS superiors did not promote me beyond GS-12, disallowed my education deductions in 1978, got rid of my mentor in 1975, and disallowed my partial day per diem claims in 1974; and c) when my Democrat Post Office superiors forced me resign in 1969 and disallowed my sick leave requests in 1969 and 1968. My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes hint/imply/argue/shout that at best, my Republican U.S. Senators and Republican U.S. Representatives consider me to be “too conservative.”)

FEDERALIST
— Facebook Shuts Down Christian Ideas While Letting Others Post Threats Facebook members can say virtually anything about Christians who uphold a male-female foundation for sexual ethics. But I can’t share my religious perspective. – Robert Gagnon (DIERSEN: Facebook is a Democrat website. QUESTION: If the Democrats who run Facebook tried to shut down GOPUSA ILLINOIS, which GOPUSA ILLINOIS email readers would come to my defense? ANSWER: Not those who are Democrats or Democrat plants, Libertarians or Libertarian plants, Greens or Green plants, or RINOs. The aforesaid GOPUSA ILLINOIS email readers did not come to my defense when my critics/opponents succeeded in ending my TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois chairmanship in 2012, my Wheaton Chamber of Commerce Government Affairs Committee membership in 2011, my Milton Township Republican Central Committee webmaster service in 2010 and 2004, my Illinois Center Right Coalition Steering Committee membership in 2004, or my American Association of Political Consultants Midwest Chapter board membership in 2004.)

— FRONT PAGE WITH COLOR PICTURE: An ICE Raid Leaves an Iowa Town Divided Along Faith Lines The detention of 32 workers at a concrete plant opened fissures among the town’s churches and secular leaders, and brought an abstract national issue painfully close to home. – Trip Gabriel (DIERSEN: In your municipality, which churches paint themselves the most as being anti-Trump, anti-Protestant, anti-conservative, anti-patriotic, anti-Republican, anti-American, anti-White, anti-male, anti-older people, anti-rich people, anti-gun owners, anti-German Americans, anti-draft avoiders, and/or anti-those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time?

— Barnes & Noble Fires CEO Without Severance Over Policy Violations – Maria Armental and Jeffrey A. Trachtenberg (DIERSEN: In 1997, when I was 49 years old, if my Democrat GAO superiors had been honest, they would have announced that they forced me to take their early retirement “offer” a) to punish me for being an active member of a class action lawsuit since 1988 that charged them with reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation and b) to send a strong message to Democrats, to minorities, and to females that GAO gets rid of its employees who are Republican, White, male, and/or non-veteran who do not make GS-13 (currently $96,403) by age 25, GS-14 (currently $113,920) by age 30, GS-15 (currently $134,000) by age 35, and Senior Executive Service (currently $164,200) by age 40. Because my Democrat GAO superiors did not announce that, because my Republican U.S. Senators and Republican U.S. Representatives did not come to my defense in Diersen v. GAO, and because I was denied my 7th Amendment right to a jury trial in Diersen v. GAO, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have hinted/implied/argued/shouted that GAO got rid of me because I am a White supremacist, Nazi, KKK member, hater, racist, sexist, bigot, and even worse things.)

Of course, they hoped the aforesaid would file discrimination complaints against me, but none of them did.)
