CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— Senior ranger may unseat Joseph Cantore as DuPage Forest Preserve District president – Chuck Fieldman (DIERSEN: What are your sources of income? Needless-to-say, if I ran for any kind of government or political office, my opponents would follow Hebreard’s lead and call for a) cutting, if not eliminating, my Civil Service Retirement System pension, b) cutting, if not eliminating, my Social Security and Medicare, and c) cutting, if not eliminating, my federal health, dental, and vision insurance subsidies.)
https://www.chicagotribune.com/suburbs/oak-brook/news/ct-dob-forest-preserve-president-tl-1129-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Hebreard campaigned on pushing for abolishing any pensions and all health care benefits for current and future forest preserve board members, and reducing the salaries by 70 to 75 percent. While he will be new to the office if results hold up, Hebreard is not at all new to the Forest Preserve District of DuPage County. The 41-year-old Downers Grove native has worked for the district for the past 13 ½ years, including the past 10 as a senior ranger. “As a park ranger, we’re on the front lines with residents and users, so we get a very good idea of what people want and what’s needed,” Hebreard said. Hebreard earned a bachelor’s degree in parks and recreation management from the University of Illinois, before starting his career at the Palos Heights Recreation Department and the city of Yorkville Recreation Department.)

KANE COUNTY CHRONICLE
— Thankful and not thankful – Carol Kloskowski (DIERSEN: Who blasts you for not being thankful enough? I should write a book about those who blast me for not being thankful enough. According to them, I would not have anything now a) if I had not been born a healthy White male, b) if I had not avoided the draft, c) if the federal government had not grossly overpaid me, d) if I had not gotten married, e) if my wife had not always had income, f) if we had not given up trying to have children, g) if we had adopted, h) if we had become foster parents, and i) if my retirement benefits were not so overly generous. In my defense, I earned a) a job-related bachelor’s degree when I was 21 in 1970 and job-related master’s degrees when I was 27, 31, and 48, b) job-related professional certifications when I was 30, 32, 41, 45, 47, and 48, and c) a job-related professional license when I was 32.)

To get votes from those who are members of the following groups, Democrats promise to use government to give preference to members of the following groups: anti-Trump, anti-Protestant, anti-conservative, anti-patriotic, anti-Republican, anti-American, anti-White, anti-male, anti-older people, anti-rich people, anti-gun owners, anti-German Americans, and/or anti-those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time? Because members of the aforesaid groups want dependency on government, dependency on charity, LGBTQ activity, abortion, mass/illegal immigration, abolition of the First and Second Amendments, booze, gambling, pot, and other vices, patronage, political affiliation discrimination, revere discrimination, age discrimination, retaliation, and even worse things, should Republicans promise to give them the aforesaid? My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes talk and/or act like their answer is YES!)
