NBC5
— More young men are struggling financially. Here’s how that helped Trump win. (COMMENT: Under the Democrats, the future for young men is ever-increasingly bleak. I once was a young man. The Democrats who ran the Post Office in 1966, IRS in 1971, and GAO in 1980 hired me because they could not find a qualified Democrat, minority, female, younger person, or veteran who would take the job. The aforesaid Democrats promoted me in 1972, 1973, 1974, and 1986. They erroneously anticipated/expected that I would become a Democrat. But if I was a young man today, the aforesaid Democrats would not hire or promote me today because they are under even more pressure from Democrat leaders to hire and promote Democrat females. All my female coworkers who my Democrat superiors promoted over me were Democrats a) who had less work experience than I had, b) who had less education than I had, c) who had no professional certifications or fewer than I had, and/or d) who had no professional license like the one I had.)

https://www.chicagotribune.com/2024/11/21/pam-bondi-for-attorney-general/
— Musk’s budget crusade could cause a constitutional clash in Trump’s second term (COMMENT: During the 1980s and 1990s, the Democrats who ran GAO used Republican-led budget cuts to get rid of GAO’s Republican employees like me who were conservative, White, male, older, non-veteran, Protestants, German American, and/or had ancestors who had been in America for a long time. I would not have survived until 1997 if I had not a) earned a master’s degree in business in 1976, b) passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, c) earned a master’s degree in accounting in 1980, d) passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt and became a licensed CPA in 1981, e) earned other job-related professional certifications in 1990, 1994, 1996, and 1997, and f) earned a master’s degree in finance in 1997.)

http://www.gopillinois.com
— How do hate-filled Trump-hating Trump-haters treat you? They ever-increasingly shun me, snub me, exclude me, ostracize me, ban me, banish me, blacklist me, blackball me, and expel me. Since 2015, they have gerrymandered my precinct, ended my bid to be selected to fill a Wheaton City Council West District vacancy, ended my service as the Republican fundraiser for Wheaton Independence Day parades and fireworks, and removed me from the Illinois Republican Party State Convention Platform and Resolutions Committee. They ever-increasingly blame me and blame my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters for losses that Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct suffer. – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com
— Who has taken adverse actions against you? Those who take adverse actions against me were following orders. They work for the following: a) leaders of the Illinois Republican Party, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Milton Township Republican Organization, b) Republican leaders of Illinois, DuPage County, Milton Township, and Wheaton, c) Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct. and/or d) those who I have sued. – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com
— What does your future look like? My future looks ever-increasingly bleak because my demographics are terrible and I am ever-increasingly surrounded by hate-filled Trump-hating Trump-haters. They ever-increasing a) discourage me from sending out GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters and b) discourage everyone from reading my newsletters. They ever-increasingly blame me and blame my newsletters for defeats that Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct suffer. They ever-increasingly make it clear that they want me to leave Illinois, DuPage County, Milton Township, Wheaton, and my precinct. But I am not going to cave in. To help me carry on. Please encourage everyone to read my newsletters. – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com
— Politically, what helps you to be optimistic? For me, it includes Trump won, Trump got a higher percentage of the vote in Illinois this year than in 2020 and 2016, Trump won all but 14 of the 102 Illinois counties, Republicans control the U.S. House and Senate, all but 2 of the 13 Republican candidates on the ballot in my precinct got more votes than their Democrat opponents did, Berlin and Grant were reelected, the turnout in my precinct was 83%, and while Grant won by only 292 votes, 445 voted for Grant in my precinct. – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com
— Should I start writing about my critics/opponents who read my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters for opposition research and/or have their operatives and dupes do that? Should I start naming names? I would start with those who claim to be religious, conservative, and/or Republican. I would start with those who have lots of religious, government, political, and/or financial clout in Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois and have had their operatives and dupes take the most/biggest adverse actions against me since 2000. – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com
— Which plank in the Democrat Party platform has harmed you the most? If me it the  Affirmative Action and DEI plank, that is, the race and gender based preference giving, reparations, patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, religious discrimination, and national origin discrimination plank. My Democrat superiors in the federal government used that plank against me big time to waste my career and to get rid of me. – Dave Diersen

— Trump steps up battle with media by commanding GOP to ‘kill’ PRESS Act (COMMENT: Since 2000, my critics/opponents have demonized, denigrated, and condemned me for my including links in GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters to articles that they do not like.

https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/white-house/3237318/trump-steps-up-battle-media-kill-press-act/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Her group had already issued a statement the morning after the election, criticizing Trump for “wanton attacks on journalists” and warning that his second administration could be a turning point for media freedom in the United States. Whether wanton or not, Trump has famously feuded with the press since his political career began eight years ago. He’s dubbed the media “fake news” and “the enemy of the people” while leading chants against reporters during his many political rallies. However, Trump arguably raised the temperature higher than ever this year. He made a dark joke earlier this month that a possible assassin would have to “shoot through the fake news” to get to him.)

https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/investigations/3238077/charities-spending-millions-stop-illegal-immigrants-deported/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: La Raza Community Resource Center, an immigration nonprofit organization based out of San Francisco, was one of the biggest spenders among the groups resisting deportation efforts, disbursing $14.1 million between 2021 and 2023 for a program providing legal services to asylum-seekers and migrants facing deportation. Immigrant Justice Corps, meanwhile, is a New York-based charity that spent $20.2 million over the same period on a fellowship program placing recent college graduates at nonprofit organizations across the country to provide illegal migrants with legal services.)

NEW YORK POST
— Critics of President-elect Trump’s plan to enlist the military to help deport illegal immigrants claim it will violate the Posse Comitatus Act of 1878. But that might not be the case. The 146-year-old PCA says that “except [as] expressly authorized by the Constitution or Act of Congress,” whoever “willfully uses any part of the Army, the Navy, the Marine Corps, the Air Force, or the Space Force as a posse comitatus … to execute the laws shall be fined … or imprisoned.”

To the extent needed, other federal law enforcement agencies should be immediately directed by the president to help DHS agents.

My critics/opponents have always shouted that. They have always made it very clear that they would never had taken the bad jobs that I took. I should write about my critics/opponents. I would focus on those whose parents had the most money, who bought them cars, who paid for their college expenses, and who got them jobs. My critics/opponents never had to take bad jobs. They never had to compete against illegals for bad jobs. If there had been as many illegals when I was young as there are now, they would have gotten the jobs that I got. The bad jobs I had enabled me to a) buy a 1958 Chevrolet Bel Air in 1964, b) buy a new 1966 Pontiac Tempest Sprint in 1966, c) buy a new 1968 Oldsmobile 442 in 1967, d) buy a new 1969 Dodge Charger SE in 1968, and e) pay for my college expenses at UIC 1966-1968 and NIU 1969-1970.)
