— ISU Expungement Clinic Helps People With Criminal Records Get A Fresh Start – Dana Vollmer
(DIERSEN: It would be great if I could expunge the adverse actions that my Democrat superiors took against me. 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 a $20,361 (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980. 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. My Democrat Post Office superiors forced me to resign in 1969 and disallowed my sick leave requests in 1969 and 1968.)

— Biden Calls White Supremacy Top Terror Threat While The Left Decides Conservatives Are White Supremacists After years of the left branding their opponents as racists, the Biden administration has designated white supremacy as the leading domestic terror threat. – Spencer Lindquis
(DIERSEN: I should write a book about those who have most strongly painted themselves as being anti-conservative. I would focus on those who have focused on driving out of the Illinois Republican Party, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Milton Township Republican Organization those like me who support the traditional marriage/family, right to life, immigration, illegal drugs, Second Amendment, and equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) planks in the Republican Party platform. I would focus on those who have focused on destroying those like me a) who refused to glorify and praise them, b) who refused to pander to them, c) who refused to serve as one of their operatives or dupes, d) who refused to cover-up their wrong doing, and/or e) who refused to give them money.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: The lack of communication between McCarthy and Kinzinger shows how GOP lawmakers critical of Trump face the risk of being distanced from their own party.)
— DIERSEN HEADLINE: The more demographics that you share with Trump, the more that hate-filled Trump-hating Trump-haters will promote hatred against you. Both Trump and I are White, male, older, heterosexual, married, college graduates, non-poor, gun owners, draft avoiders, Protestant, German American, conservative, patriotic, Republican, former federal employees, and our ancestors have been in America for a long time.
