— Quigley worries Chicago sanctuary city rules imperil federal funding under Trump – Hal Dardick  (DIERSEN: One big reason why Trump won and Clinton lost was that Democrats and RINOs encourage people to come to America illegally, to stay in America illegally, and to bring others to America illegally.  Those Americans who have been harmed by the aforesaid voted for Trump.  Democrats and RINOs put the interests of foreign countries and their citizens ahead the interests of America and its citizens.)

— Lawmakers, transportation experts question Trump’s infrastructure plan – Mary Wisniewski  (DIERSEN: Which of your plans have your critics/opponents, their operatives, and/or their dupes questioned?  In 2004, when I ran for Milton Township Republican Central Committee (MTRCC) Treasurer, they questioned my plan for MTRCC officers to develop budgets annually, to get the MTRCC membership to approve those budgets annually, and to follow those budgets. My critics/opponents got their operatives and their dupes, including two CPAs, to not only publicly question my plan, but to publicly badmouth my plan.)

— HARDCOPY ARTICLE TITLE: Millennial parents embrace saving for college – Steve Rosen  (DIERSEN: When you were in grade school and in high school, did those around you believe that you were “college material?”  Few around me believed that a) because neither my parents nor any of my ancestors had attended college, b) because my father was only the first of his ancestors to earn a high school diploma, and c) because my mother had never attended high school.)

http://chicago.suntimes.com/opinion/editorial-trump-dreamers-daca/

They a) reject planks in the Republican Party platform and work against those like me who support those planks, b) reject planks in the Illinois Republican Party platform and work against those like me who support those planks, c) reject the Milton Township Republican Central Committee resolution against video gambling and work against those like me who support that resolution, d) focus on destroying those like me who they cannot manipulate/dominate, e) were defendants in lawsuits that I have filed, f) are operatives for the aforesaid, and/or g) are dupes for the aforesaid and those who are anti-Protestant, anti-conservative, 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 longer than their ancestors.)

CENTRAL ILLINOIS PROUD
— DIERSEN HEADLINE: Anti-Trumps get Trump to admit that some of his supporters harass minorities.  Of course, obviously, needless-to-say, and without question, anti-Trumps hint/imply/argue/shout that all of Trump’s supporters either harass minorities or want to harass minorities, that is, that they are racists.  Have you ever been supervised by, worked with, and/or supervised minorities?  All during the almost 30 years that I worked for the federal government, I was supervised by, I worked with, and/or I supervised minorities. Very few of my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes in Wheaton, in Glen Ellyn, in Milton Township, in DuPage County, and in Illinois have been supervised by, worked with, and/or supervised minorities.

— Springfield native, among others, named top college students in Illinois  (DIERSEN: Government is nasty.  Politics is nasty. People are nasty.  Sooner or later, if you did not do lots of extracurricular activities while you were in high school and in college, your nasty critics/opponents, their nasty operatives, and their nasty dupes will viciously demonize, denigrate, and condemn you for that.  My nasty critics/opponents, their nasty operatives, and their nasty dupes would stress that instead of helping the poor, I selfishly did yard work, selfishly delivered newspapers, selfishly washed dishes, selfishly cleaned golf shoes, selfishly chipped slag, selfishly pumped gasoline, selfishly delivered mail, selfishly worked on an automobile assembly, and selfishly worked as a security guard so that I could a) selfishly buy a 1958 Chevy BelAir in 1964, b) selfishly buy a new 1966 Pontiac Tempest Sprint in 1966, c) selfishly buy a new 1968 Oldsmobile 442 in 1967, d) selfishly buy a new 1969 Dodge Charger SE in 1968, and e) selfishly graduate debt-free from NIU with a bachelor’s degree in management in 1970 while still selfishly owning that 1969 Dodge Charger SE.)

STATE OF ILLINOIS
— State of Illinois Encourages Veterans and Service Members to “Know Your Rights”  (DIERSEN: I graduated from NIU in August of 1970 with a bachelor’s degree in management.  Potential employers viewed me as being “draft bait” because I had passed the physical examination, my draft number had been called, and they did not believe that my application for a financial hardship draft deferment would be granted.)

— Students Defend Donald Trump’s Appeal to ‘the People Progress Forgot’ – Josephine Chu  (DIERSEN: What do you say held back your career progress the most?  For me, it would be political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination, otherwise known as Affirmative Action, Diversity, and Inclusion.  If I had been a Democrat, a minority, a female, or a veteran, the federal government would have promoted me into its Senior Executive Service long before I was 40 years old in 1988.)

Smith  (DIERSEN: All during the almost 18 years that I worked for GAO 1980-1997, and especially 1989-1997, the agency was in congressional crosshairs.  The agency responded by wasting the careers of and by getting rid of its employees like me who were Republican, White, male, older, and/or non-veteran.)
