DUPAGE POLICY JOURNAL
— How will DuPage GOP regroup after midterm losses? – Glenn Minnis (DIERSEN: Democrats plants, Libertarian plants, Green plants, and RINOs in the DuPage GOP will use the losses to ramp up their efforts to drive conservatives, that is, Republicans, out of the DuPage GOP. They will focus on driving out of the DuPage GOP those like me who support the traditional family, right to life, immigration, Second Amendment, illegal drugs, and equal opportunity (no race of gender based preference giving) planks in the Illinois Republican Party platform and the Republican Party platforms. They will focus on driving out of the DuPage GOP those like me who are Trump supporters, Protestant, conservative, patriotic, Republican, American, White, male, old (I am 70), non-poor, gun owners, draft avoiders, German American, and those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: According to the Chicago Tribune, Democrats also won at least 80 percent of all the precincts in Naperville, a city where just-ousted Republican U.S. Reps. Peter Roskam and Randy Hultgren lost only two precincts combined in 2016. “It signals that it’s a time for purging and rebuilding,” Ruhl added. “The focus needs to be on identifying our voter base and growing that base in an upright manner where we’re working with a more diverse group of people and educating them on all the things we know need to happen for this state.”)

YAHOO NEWS
— First They Came For Acosta. Why We (PEN America) Sued Trump Before He Acts Again – Jeff Berman and Jennifer Boylan (DIERSEN: What is PEN America’s position on those politicians, their operatives, and their dupes who since 2000 have treated me like Trump treats Acosta? Will PEN America sue them?)
https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/first-came-acosta-why-sued-214850036.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: This President has done far more than retaliate against one White House reporter. Rather, he has mounted a sustained campaign of retaliation and threats against an array of journalists and media companies he perceives as critics, ranging from interfering with a merger to threats to revoke media broadcast licenses. This President has demonstrated time and again that, no matter the damage to our democracy, he will make outrageous, chilling, and dangerous remarks to and about journalists. He has that right and nothing in sight will stop him. But when he and his administration take action to curtail the exercise of First Amendment rights, it has not only gone too far morally, it has gone too far legally. That’s why PEN America, an organization of writers and literary professionals whose mission is celebrating and defending free expression, sued President Trump in federal court to stop him. And it’s why Protect Democracy, a nonpartisan nonprofit with a mission to prevent our democracy from sliding into autocracy, is representing PEN America along with the Yale Media Freedom and Information Access Clinic, going after President Trump in federal court to stop him. We are suing President Trump for using the levers of government power he oversees to punish the media for coverage he dislikes, not for his verbal attacks on the press. The President’s retaliatory actions toward news entities harken not just back to the McCarthy era, when the creative community was directly targeted by the government, they are straight out of the modern authoritarian’s playbook. Where Trump has his “enemy of the people,” Stalin had his “vrag naroda” (enemy of the nation). Where Trump has his “lying media,” Hitler had his “lugenpresse” (lying press).)

Previously, they talked and acted like they were under orders to end my TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois chairmanship, Wheaton Chamber of Commerce Government Affairs Committee membership, Milton Township Republican Central Committee webmaster service, Illinois Center Right Coalition Steering Committee membership, American Association of Political Consultants Midwest Chapter board membership, GAO employment, etc. What if these operatives and dupes turned on my critics/opponents?

Beyond tragically, ever-increasingly, activists, candidates, elected officials, party leaders, major donors, political consultants, etc. who claim to be religious, conservative, and/or Republican a) do not have websites or let their websites die, b) send fewer emails or stop sending them completely, and c) put themselves under the total domination and total control of Facebook.)

To justify their forcing me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years old, my Democrat GAO superiors factored in a) that my wife and I were childless, b) that my father and my wife’s parents had died, c) that my mother and brother did not need financial assistance, and d) that my wife’s sister and brother and her brother’s wife and children did not need financial assistance.)

Author: David Diersen

The opinions that I express in GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails are based on experience that I have gained doing many things since 1948. I base my opinions on what I learned a) working for the federal government for almost 30 years -- Post Office 1966-1969, IRS 1971-1980, and GAO 1980-1997, serving on the Executive Committee of the Association of Government Accountants Chicago Chapter 1983-1996, and being a union member while I worked for the Post Office and IRS; b) earning an MBA from Loyola in 1976, a masters degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980, and a masters degree in financial markets and trading from IIT in 1997; c) passing the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979 and passing the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981; c) serving as a Republican Precinct Committeeman since 1999, the GOPUSA Illinois Editor since 2000, the TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois Chairman 2005-2012, a member of the 2008 Illinois Republican Party (IRP) Platform and Resolutions Committee, a Wheaton Chamber of Commerce Government Affairs Committee member 2003-2011, the Milton Township Republican Central Committee webmaster 2008-2010 and 2000-2004, an Illinois Center Right Coalition Steering Committee member 2003-2007, and an American Association of Political Consultants Midwest Chapter board member 2001-2004; d) attending the 2000, 2004, 2008, 2012, and 2016 IRP State Conventions as a delegate; e) being the subject of a nasty 4-page article in the February 1978 issue of Money Magazine; f) pursing litigation including Diersen v. GAO and Diersen v. Chicago Car Exchange; g) being married since 1978; h) living in Crete 1948-1972, in University Park 1972-1976, in Chicago 1976-1978, and in DuPage County, Milton Township, and Wheaton since 1978; and i) being baptized, raised, and confirmed as a Missouri Synod Lutheran.
