Both Trump and are Trump supporters, conservative, patriotic, Republican, American, White, male, older, overweight/obese, draft avoiders, non-poor, heterosexual, married, gun owners, Protestant, German American, and our ancestors have been in America for a long time.

They stress that I am White, male, born in 1948, draft avoider, non-poor, baptized, raised, and confirmed as a Missouri Synod Lutheran,100% German American, conservative, Republican, Trump supporter, gun owner, and my ancestors have been in America since 1844. Employers, including GAO, IRS, Firestone Stores, and Post Office, have always known that their hiring me, their retaining me, and their promoting me would not help them meet their Affirmative Action (AA), Diversity, or Inclusion quotas, goals, or targets. Organizations, including the Milton Township Republican Organization (MTRO), DuPage County Republican Central Committee, Illinois Republican Party, TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois, Wheaton Chamber of Commerce (WCC), Illinois Center Right Coalition (ICRC), and American Association of Political Consultants (AAPC) Midwest Chapter (MC), have always known that their giving me leadership positions would not help them meet their AA, Diversity, or Inclusion quotas, goals, or targets. But nevertheless, I survived as a GAO employee for almost 18 year, IRS employee for almost 9 years, Firestone Stores employee for almost 2 1/2 years, Post Office employee for almost 3 years, MTRO webmaster for 6 years), TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois chairman for 7 years, WCC Government Affairs Committee member for 8 years, ICRC Steering Committee member for 4 years, and AAPC MC board member for 3 years.)

POLITICO ILLINOIS
— DIERSEN HEADLINE: Shia Kapos jabs Esther Joy King. I have lived in Illinois since 1948 and in DuPage County, Milton Township, and Wheaton since 1978. My website is at www.gopillinois.com .)
https://www.politico.com/newsletters/illinois-playbook/2020/10/19/pritzker-thumps-trump-esther-joy-kings-business-property-tax-hikes-in-chicago-news-fakery-490640
(FROM THE ARTICLE: She doesn’t really mention living in Texas and Chicago before moving to the district, which lines the state’s northwest border with Iowa, a point Bustos seizes on in her latest ad: “Who is the real Esther Joy King? She just moved from Chicago to run for Congress.” Before running for office, King headed a social media marketing company called 364.Social, a company we couldn’t find online. King says that’s because it was folded into another marketing firm that she helped start: GRP21, which also has next-to-no presence online. A few years ago, King also billed herself as founder of Flashbulb Media — another company that appears to be non-existent. King doesn’t mention those companies on her LinkedIn page — she said she just chose not to — and didn’t supply any information about them. She told Playbook she “no longer has any ownership interest” in Flashbulb or GRP21.)
— DIERSEN HEADLINE: Shia Kapos jabs Brian Timpone. (DIERSEN: He who pays the piper calls the tunes. No one pays me. No one calls my tunes. However, my critics/opponents can and do punish me. They do everything that they can a) to stop me from sending out GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails and b) to stop everyone from reading those emails. They ended my TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois chairmanship, my Wheaton Chamber of Commerce Government Affairs Committee membership, my Milton Township Republican Organization webmaster service (twice), my Illinois Center Right Coalition Steering Committee membership, and my American Association of Political Consultants Midwest Chapter board membership.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: NEWS FAKERY EXCLUSIVE: As local news dies, a pay-for-play network rises in its place — and its roots are in Illinois: The New York Times exposes Chicago-area businessman Brian Timpone’s media empire running websites across the country and in Illinois, including the “North Cook News,” which appear as news sites. In fact, the Times says Republican operatives pay Timpone’s company to order up stories they dictate to reporters. Jeanne Ives has paid Timpone $55,000 and received favorable stories in return, according to the Times. When asked if she had paid companies for pay-for-play news stories, she said: “Oh, no, there’s none of that going on. I assure you. Oh, my gosh, no. Oh, no, not at all.” Also linked to Timpone’s companies: conservative talk show host Dan Proft and John Tillman, an activist who once led the Illinois Opportunity Project and who is connected to groups that have paid “hundreds of thousands of dollars” to underwrite Timpone’s “news” operation. … How it works: “Editors for Mr. Timpone’s network assign work to freelancers dotted around the United States and abroad, often paying $3 to $36 per job. The assignments typically come with precise instructions on whom to interview and what to write, according to the internal correspondence. In some cases, those instructions are written by the network’s clients, who are sometimes the subjects of the articles.”)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Jeanne Ives, a Republican candidate for the U.S. House in Illinois, has had a direct financial relationship with the operation. Ms. Ives has paid Mr. Timpone’s companies $55,000 over the past three years, according to state and federal records. During that time, the Illinois sites have published overwhelmingly positive coverage of her, including running some of her news releases verbatim. In an interview, she said her payments were to create her website and monitor her Wikipedia page. One $14,342 payment included the note “Advertising-newspaper.” Ms. Ives initially could not explain why. She later called back to say Mr. Timpone had bought Facebook ads for her. Asked if she was paying for positive coverage, she replied: “Oh, no, there’s none of that going on. I assure you. Oh, my gosh, no. Oh, no, not at all.” Ms. Ives is listed as a “story watcher.” She said she did not know why.)
