FROM ILLINOIS CENTER-RIGHT SOURCES



GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— Ever-increasingly, the mainstream news media exists to elect Democrats by promoting the Democrat Party platform, that is, by promoting dependency on government and charity, LGBTQ, abortion, mass/illegal immigration, booze, gambling, pot, and other vices, diminishment of Second Amendment rights, and/or Affirmative Action and DEI, that is, patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, religious discrimination, and national origin discrimination. – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com



GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— When is the last time that the Republican candidates on the November 5, 2024 ballot in your precinct spoken out against Democrat promotion of dependency on government and charity, LGBTQ, abortion, mass/illegal immigration, booze, gambling, pot, and other vices, diminishment of Second Amendment rights, and/or Affirmative Action and DEI, that is, patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, religious discrimination, and national origin discrimination? – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com



GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— Demographics are ever-increasingly everything. Ever-increasingly, your demographics determine how everyone treats you, that is, ever-increasingly, your demographics determine your future. Ever-increasingly, everyone dumps those who are heterosexual, conservative, Republican, American, White, male, older, non-veteran, married, non-poor, Protestant, German American, and/or have ancestors who have been in America for a long time. I was born in 1948 and even though neither of my parents attended college, my father was only the first of my ancestors to earn a high school diploma, my mother never attended high school, and my IRS superiors wrote me off as being too old to be promoted again in 1974 when I was 25 years old, I was able to earn a bachelor’s degree, three master’s degrees, six professional certifications, and a professional license. If I was born today, because of my demographics, I would not be able to do the aforesaid. – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com



GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— Democrats ever-increasingly dominate Chicagoland. Based on your career, what career advice do you give? Based on my career 1964-1997 working for Chicagoland Democrats, my advice is to leave Chicagoland if you are a Republican, and especially if you are a Republican who is heterosexual, conservative, White, male, older, non-veteran, Protestant, German American, and/or your ancestors have been in America for a long time. Because I have the aforesaid demographics, my Democrat GAO superiors wasted my career and forced me to retire in 1997 when I was 49 years old. Previously, my Democrat IRS, Firestone Store, and Post Office superiors wasted my career. My Democrat Post Office superiors forced me to resign in 1969.  They wasted what I learned a) earning a job-related bachelor’s degree in 1970, b) earning job-related master’s degrees in 1976, 1980, and 1997, and c) earning job related professional certifications in 1979 and 1981. – Dave Diersen

— ILLINOIS THIRD IN U.S. FOR AVERAGE IN-STATE TUITION, PRICING PEOPLE OUT OF COLLEGE – Kurtis Karg and Dylan Sharkey (COMMENT: Because tuition at UIC and NIU was relatively low, I was able to work my way through college delivering mail part-time for the Park Forest Post Office and graduate debt-free from NIU in 1970 with a bachelor’s degree in management and owing a 1969 Dodge Charger SE.)
