If you are involved in government and/or politics, your critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes will use everything that they can find out about you against you. For example, if you are a Trump supporter, Protestant, conservative, patriotic, Republican, American, White, male, older, rich, gun owner, German American, draft avoider, and/or if your ancestors have been in America for a long time, they will stress the aforesaid to those who are 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.

I should write a book about those bad politicians who gerrymandered my DuPage County Milton Township Precinct 9 in Wheaton in 2015.)

The money for the job-related graduate accounting courses that I took at DePaul 1976-1980 came from my taxable IRS and GAO salaries. The money for the job-related graduate finance courses that I took at IIT 1992-1997 came from my taxable GAO salary.

— House Democrats Hope To Keep Gun Dealer Licensing Measure Afloat – SAM DUNKLAU (DIERSEN: Of course, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes want those like me who send out emails concerning government and/or political issues to be licensed. Of course, they want to dictate the licensing requirements. Of course, I would fail to meet those licensing requirements. I do not have a degree in journalism. No one pays me to put GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails together and send them out. No one pays me to receive the emails. The emails contain no advertising or pictures. I do not falsely claim to be nonpartisan. The Illinois Republican Party, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, Milton Township Republican Central Committee (MTRCC), and many who paint themselves as being religious, conservative, and/or Republican leaders to not endorse the emails or promote the emails. Individuals, organizations, companies, and governments that have lots of religious, government, political, and/or financial clout in Wheaton, in Glen Ellyn, in Milton Township, in DuPage County, and in Illinois refuse to keep diersen@aol.com on their press advisory and press release lists and do everything that they can a) to stop me from sending the emails out and b) to stop everyone from reading the emails. Extremely few individuals, organizations, companies, governments, etc. come to my defense. I am no longer a TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois chairman, Wheaton Chamber of Commerce Government Affairs Committee member, MTRCC webmaster, Illinois Center Right Coalition Steering Committee member, American Association of Political Consultants Midwest Chapter board member, GAO employee, etc. My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes blame me for their problems, blame me for your problems, blame me for my problems, and blame me for everyone’s problems.)

NPR ILLINOIS
— Rauner’s Uphill Climb To A Second Term – CHARLES N. WHEELER III (DIERSEN: Does Rauner really want Ives a) to vote for him, b) to endorse him, c) to campaign for him, and/or to otherwise help elect him? Government is nasty. Politics is nasty. I should write a book about “conservative” and “Republican” candidates who really do/did not want me a) to vote for them, b) to endorse them, c) to campaign for them, and/or d) to otherwise help elect them. Officially they say that I am “too conservative,” but unofficially, under the table, they stress my demographics and hint/imply/argue/shout that I am a White supremacist, Nazi, KKK member, hater, racist, sexist, bigot, and even worse thigs. Should I sue them? My critics/opponents, their operatives blame me and my GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails for all defeats that Republicans have suffered in Illinois since 2000, but especially defeats that Republican statewide candidates, DuPage countywide candidates, DuPage County District 4 candidates, Milton Township candidates, and Wheaton candidates have suffered.)
http://nprillinois.org/post/rauners-uphill-climb-second-term#stream/0
(FROM THE ARTICLE: In contrast, Ives has yet to make up with the governor, and the hard feelings are clear. “I’m a Republican. I’ll vote for him, but I will not endorse him,” the Daily Herald reported. “I will not campaign for him… Maybe if he takes out a million-dollar ad buy and admits he lied about me, maybe we’ll talk.” When WBEZ reporter Dave McKinney asked Ives a few days after the primary who would be a better governor, Rauner or Pritzker, Ives took 40 seconds– an eternity in radioland– to finally say “Rauner.”)

http://www.gopusa.com/?p=42396
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Resistance to California’s new sanctuary city laws grew this week as Orange County voted to join a federal lawsuit trying to block the laws, and the county’s sheriff said she will post information on every inmate’s release so the Homeland Security Department can see if there is anyone it wants to deport. The Who’s in Jail database could provide a model for other law enforcement agencies chafing under SB54, the law that took effect this year prohibiting police or sheriffs from informing federal agencies when illegal immigrants are to be released. By posting the entire list of inmates and release times, the department says, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement can get the information without the sheriff’s office having to communicate specifically.)
