CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— Juneteenth was just made a federal holiday. Will your boss give you the day off? – MARY ELLEN PODMOLIK (DIERSEN: Virtually all federal employees and federal retirees are Democrats. I was a federal employee for almost 30 years. I have been a federal retiree for almost 24 years. Giving federal employees another day off will promote even more hatred against federal employees and against federal retirees.)

AMERICAN GREATNESS
— Koch Network Says Congress Must Make Amnesty for Illegals a Priority – Eric Lendrum (DIERSEN: Needless-to-say, Republican activists, candidates, elected officials, and party leaders should not seek or accept money from major donors who reject planks in the Republican Party platform. Most commonly, they reject the traditional marriage/family, right to life, immigration, illegal drugs, Second Amendment, and/or equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) planks. I should write a book about Republican activists, candidates, elected officials, and party leaders in Illinois, DuPage County, Milton Township, and Wheaton who talk and/or act like they seek and/or accept lots of money from major donors who reject the aforesaid planks. Of course, those major donors want to stop me from sending out GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters. Of course, those major donors want the Milton Township Republican Organization, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, Illinois Republican Party, Wheaton Chamber of Commerce, Wheaton Park District, Wheaton Warrenville School District 200, Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois to get rid of me. Everyone sees how the aforesaid organizations and governments treat me and treat my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters.)
