— Democrats say “A revealing documentary about Michael J. Fox opens the Doc10 film fest in Chicago.” In 2006, Fox spoke at a Duckworth press conference in Wheaton Park District’s Arrowhead Golf Club. Duckworth had me rudely thrown out of that press conference.

— Democrats acknowledge that “Chicago metro area saw almost 300K leave in last 5 years and say “Chicago metropolitan area population decline being addressed through revitalization projects.” Chicago Democrats ever-increasingly attract people to Chicago who have demographics that vote for Democrats, that is, those who need/want massive government assistance, who lack education, who lack job skills, who have health problems and who are citizens of foreign countries, minority, female, younger, LGBTQ, non-Christian, and/or non- Protestant.

https://www.cbsnews.com/chicago/news/avondale-park-migrants/

WGN9
— Democrats say “Chicago Park District after-school program relocated to accommodate migrants.” There were no after-school programs when I was in grade school and high school. While I was in high school, I did yard work, delivered newspapers, and washed dishes. How many high school students would stoop to take such bad jobs today?

CENTRAL ILLINOIS PROUD
— Democrats ever-increasingly promote Christie.

WCIA
— Democrats crow that “Black Californians could receive up to $1.2 million in reparations payments.” How many reparation dollars have you paid so far? Affirmative Action (AA), Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) are reparations. So far, I have paid millions of dollars in reparations. My Democrat superiors in the federal government used AA and DEI to make me pay reparations big time. My Democrat Post Office superiors forced me to resign in 1969 when I was 20 years old. My Democrat IRS superiors never promoted me beyond GS-12. My Democrat GAO superiors a) forced me to take a $21,863/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980, b) delated my promotions and never promoted me beyond GS-13, c) always ranked me in the bottom of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes, and d) forced me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997. My Civil Service Retirement System pension is only 44% of what my GAO salary was in 1997 in today’s dollars and less than what my IRS salary was in 1972 in today’s dollars.

GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— I should write a book about single issue advocates. I would focus on those who paint themselves as being religious, conservative, and/or Republican, but who vehemently reject one of the following planks in the Republican Party platform: individual responsibility, traditional marriage/family, right to life, immigration, Second Amendment, illegal drugs, and/or equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving). I would focus on those who have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me because I promote the plank that they reject. I would focus in those who reject the equal opportunity plank because I have done the most to promote that plank my entire life. I would focus on those who have lots of religious, government, political, and/or financial clout in Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois. I would focus on those who destroy those like me a) who refuse to be manipulated or dominated by them, b) who refuse to glorify and praise them, c) who refuse to pander to them, d) who refuse to serve as one of their operatives or dupes, e) who refuse to cover up their wrongdoing, and/or f) who refuse to give them money. I would focus on those who use my being the following against me the most: White, male, older, non-veteran, Protestant, German American, and/or my ancestors having been in America since 1844. I would focus on those who have unsuccessfully ran for government offices and who blame me and who blame my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters the most for their defeats. – Dave Diersen

GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— I should write a book about those who compete directly against me. Based on their efforts to stop me from covering the February DeSantis event in Elmhurst, expect that they will ever-increasingly do everything that they can to stop me from covering political events in Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois.

GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— Who competes directly against you? Those who compete directly against me and against my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters a) post articles on their website, b) send out tweets and emails, c) paint themselves as being religious, conservative, and/or Republican, d) do everything that they can to stop me from sending out my newsletters, e) do everything that they can to stop everyone from reading my newsletters, and f) take lots of big adverse actions against me. I should write a book about them.

GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— I should write a book about age discrimination. I have fought age discrimination since 1974 when my Democrat IRS superiors cranked up their efforts to get rid of me because I was a White male non-veteran who they had not promoted to GS-13 (currently $109,732/year) by the time I was 25. I should write a book about the biggest age discriminators in Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois. I would focus on those who stress my age and who have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me. I would focus on those who never would have taken the adverse actions against me that they did if I had been younger. But I would also focus on those older people who took the most/biggest adverse actions against me to curry favor with those who despise/hate older people. – Dave Diersen

GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— I should write a book about reverse discrimination. I have fought reverse discrimination since 1974 when my Democrat IRS superiors cranked up their efforts to get rid of me because I was a White male non-veteran who they had not promoted to GS-13 (currently $109,732/year) by the time I was 25. I should write a book about the biggest reverse discriminators in Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois. I would focus on those who stress that I am a White male and who have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me. I would focus on those who never would have taken the adverse actions against me that they did if I had been a minority or female. But I would also focus on those Whites and males who took the most/biggest adverse actions against me to curry favor with those who despise/hate Whites and/or males. – Dave Diersen

GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— I should write a book about religious discrimination. I would focus on the biggest religious discriminators in Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois. I would focus on those who stress that I am a Protestant (baptized, raised, and confirmed as a Missouri Synod Lutheran) and who have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me. I would focus on those who would not have taken the adverse actions against me that they did if I had shared their religion. But I would also focus on those Protestants who took the most/biggest adverse actions against me to curry favor with those who despise/hate Protestants. – Dave Diersen

GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— I should write a book about national origin discrimination. I would focus on the biggest national origin discriminators in Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois. I would focus on those who stress that I am 100% German American and who have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me. I would focus on those who never would have taken the adverse actions against me that they did if I had shared their national origin. But I would also focus on those German Americans who took the most/biggest adverse actions against me to curry favor with those who despise/hate German Americans. – Dave Diersen

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Republican core constituencies then were white college graduates and affluent suburbanites — groups that started trending Democratic in the 1990s and have become solidly Democratic since Trump was nominated in 2016. Of course, if you’ve been following political demographics more closely than most people do, you know there are countervailing trends. Noncollege white people have been trending Republican since around 2000 and especially since 2016. Noncollege Hispanic people and black people seem to be headed their way, too.)

I would focus on those who have unsuccessfully ran for government offices and who blame me and blame my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters the most for their defeats.

— Democrats say “DeSantis Backed by GOP Megadonor Despite Apprehension on Woke Issue.” I should write a book about those major Republican donors in Wheaton, in Milton Township, in DuPage County, and in Illinois who have had the recipients of their donations take the most/biggest adverse actions against me.

WASHINGTON POST
— Democrats say “DeSantis made himself a conservative juggernaut” and ask “What has Trump done?” While Trump was president, he did more to defend and advance the Republican Party platform than either Bush.

BOSTON GLOBE
— Nikki Haley makes Biden’s age a target – Joseph R. Noone (COMMENT: I have fought age discrimination since 1974 when my Democrat IRS superiors cranked up their efforts to get rid of me because I was a White male non-veteran who they had not promoted to GS-13 (currently $109,732/year) by the time I was 25. I should write a book about the biggest age discriminators in Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois. I would focus on those who stress my age and who have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me. I would focus on those who never would have taken the adverse actions against me that they did if I had been younger.)
https://www.bostonglobe.com/2023/05/04/opinion/letters-to-the-editor-nikki-haleys-ageist-hit-at-biden/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley’s recent comment that President Biden might not live to complete a second term is remarkable in a number of ways. First, it demonstrates that ageism is unique in being perhaps the only form of prejudice generally tolerated by the public, including those who would otherwise vehemently condemn discrimination. Had Haley, who herself is eligible for AARP membership, attacked another political opponent precisely because that opponent was Black or gay or Jewish, she would, quite rightly, have been so severely censured that her own candidacy probably would have been over. But it would appear that inclusiveness somehow does not extend to the elderly. The rationale behind this might be the gratuitous and unwarranted perception that older workers are less competent, efficient, or adaptable than their younger counterparts in a given field. While this is a groundless stereotype, there is ever in the workplace that situation of the besieged older worker struggling to hang on until retirement while younger workers breathe down his or her neck trying to get the worker’s job. Fortunately, this may be changing, not because people are becoming more accepting of elders but because automation, cybernation, and artificial intelligence, unlike candidate Haley, do not discriminate; they will displace anyone. They are equal opportunity employers. So while younger workers race frantically to get the older worker’s job, they now have to watch their own backs. To the robotic device or the astounding AI program poised to unseat them, they might just as well be old.)
