— Bust gender bias and balance the workload at home – AP (DIERSEN: Government is nasty. Politics is nasty. Democrats are nasty. My Democrat IRS and GAO superiors stressed to my supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates who were not married, whose spouse/partner had little or no income, and/or who had dependents a) that my wife and I were DINKs, that is, double income, no kids, b) that my wife had a good job, and c) that we gave up trying to have children, we did not adopt, and we did not become foster parents.)

AMERICAN GREATNESS
— Cancel the ‘Cancel Culture’ Defense of Terrible Republicans. The people have the right to disfavor their representatives if they fail at their job. – Paul Bradford (DIERSEN: My critics/opponents cancel me because I refuse to a) glorify and praise them, b) pander to them, c) serve as one of their operatives or dupes, d) give them money, and/or e) cover up their wrongdoing. My critics/opponents cancel me because I support planks in the Republican Party platform that they reject. My critics/opponents cancel me because I supported candidates who they cancel. My critics/opponents cancel me because I included links to articles in GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters that they do not like.)

BREITBART
— When Wokeness Damages Democrats
https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2021/03/27/virgil-when-wokeness-damages-democrats/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: We got a peek into the future of woke diversity on March 23, when Sen. Tammy Duckworth (D-IL) announced that she was so mad at the Biden administration for supposedly neglecting Asian-American and Pacific Islanders (AAPI) that she wouldn’t vote to confirm any more of Biden’s non-minority appointees. “I will vote for racial minorities and I will vote for LGBTQ, but anybody else I’m not voting for,” she said. “Until then, I am a ‘no’ vote on the floor on all non-diversity nominees.” Explaining her stance, Duckworth recalled that she had been on a conference call with White House staffers and had complained about this alleged lack of diversity. The response that came back was not at all satisfactory to Duckworth: “The first words out of the staff mouth was ‘We’re very proud of Vice President Harris,’ which is incredibly insulting.”)

They blamed me and blamed my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters a) for Jim Oberweis getting only 31.74% of the vote in the Republican gubernatorial primary that year and b) for Bill Brady getting only 18.40% of the vote in that primary.)

In 1997, my Democrat GAO superiors purged me. Their efforts to purge me were frustrated a) by my becoming a Certified Fraud Examiner in 1990, Certified Government Financial Manager in 1994, Certified Financial Services Auditor in 1996, and Forensic Accountant in 1997 and b) by my earning a master’s degree in financial markets and trading in 1997.)

THE HILL
— DIERSEN HEADLINE: Hate-filled Republican-hating Republican-haters use Evanston and reparations to promote hatred against Republicans.
https://thehill.com/homenews/state-watch/545173-chicago-suburb-could-serve-as-roadmap-for-reparations?rnd=1616933490
— DIERSEN HEADLINE: A hate-filled Trump-hating Trump-hater says “Trump can still hold both parties hostage.” (DIERSEN: Expect that Kinzinger and his supporters will do everything that they can to destroy Republican individuals, to destroy Republican organizations, to destroy Republican companies, and to destroy Republican governments in Illinois that do not hate Trump. Of course, Kinzinger-supporters will do everything that they can a) to stop me from sending out GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters and b) to stop everyone from reading those newsletters. I should write a book about Kinzinger-supporters who read my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters for “opposition research,” that is, to get information to use to turn people against me. They a) look for articles linked in my newsletters that are “bad news” for Republican activists, candidates, elected officials, party leaders, major donors, political consultants, etc., b) bring those articles to the attention of the aforesaid, and c) use my including links to those articles in my newsletters to turn the aforesaid against me. In my book, I would identify a) Kinzinger-supporters who read my newsletters for opposition research and b) those who they have turned against me.)
https://thehill.com/opinion/campaign/544968-trump-can-still-hold-both-parties-hostage
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The main reason for this is the approximately 75 million votes he got in the last election, of which he arguably still holds a majority in his back pocket. How many of those voters will still follow Trump? How many can still be swayed by his pronouncements? How many will turn against Republicans who Trump feels have sinned against him? How many would follow Trump into a newly created political party? No one knows for certain.)

— Politicians Behaving Badly. – Michelle Cottle (DIERSEN: Overwhelmingly, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes are big drinkers, if not alcoholics. They demonize me, they denigrate me, they condemn me, and they punish me for my not covering up their DUIs. I should write a book about them.)
https://www.nytimes.com/2021/03/23/opinion/tom-reed-cuomo.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: When Ms. Davis’s accusations broke last Friday, Mr. Reed fired off a short, vague statement saying her account was “not accurate.” But by Sunday, he had reversed course. In a longer, more detailed statement, he stopped short of confirming Ms. Davis’s account but said that, at the time of the trip, he was struggling with alcoholism and that he accepted “full responsibility” for his piggishness. “This is in no way an excuse for anything I’ve done,” he wrote. “Consistent with my recovery, I publicly take ownership of my past actions, offer this amends and humbly apologize again to Ms. Davis, my wife and kids, loved ones, and to all of you.” He further vowed “to help those wrestling with addiction.”)

WASHINGTON POST

They demonize me, they denigrate me, they condemn me, and they punish me for my not covering up their DUIs. I should write a book about them.)

— Raised to identify as Black, Harris steps into role as a voice for Asian Americans amid rise in hate incidents – David Nakamura (DIERSEN: My outstanding parents raised me to identify as being a Missouri Synod Lutheran (MSL). They had me baptized and confirmed as an MSL. They sent me to Trinity Lutheran Grade School in Crete 1953-1961 and then to Hope Lutheran Grade School in Park Forest 1961-1962 to stay with the Missouri Synod. I should write a book about that those who have talked and/or acted the strongest like they hate MSLs. I would focus on those who have/had lots of religious, government, political, and/or financial clout in Wheaton’s West District, Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County’s 4th District, DuPage County, and Illinois. I would focus on unsuccessful Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct since 2000, their major donors, their political consultants, their campaign managers, their campaign staff members, and their volunteers. I would detail the threats they made against me. I would detail the adverse action that they took and are taking against me. Better yet, I should sue them.)

According to my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes, that will cause the Republican candidates to get fewer votes in my precinct. My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes demonize me denigrate me, and condemn me as being “too conservative” and a) stress that unlike them, I do not hate Trump and b) hint/imply/argue/shout that I am a White supremacist, Nazi, KKK member, hater, racist, sexist, bigot, and even worse things. Needless-to-say, I should sue my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes.)
