— 20% of student loan recipients aren’t making payments  (COMMENT: Did you get a student loan? I did not. I had to work my way through college. If you got a student loan, that should have enabled you to get a better GPA, and therefore, a better paying job. My GPA was lower because I spend far too many hours washing dishes while I was in high school and delivering mail while I was in college instead of studying. My lower GPA frustrated my job search along with my being viewed as being draft bait and my demographics not filling any Affirmative action quotas.).

SPRINGFIELD STATE JOURNAL REGISTER
— Rep. Adam Niemerg, R-Dieterich claims new state flag would ‘advance the far-left’s political ideology’ (COMMENT: Of course, Democrat leaders want the flag to promote dependency on government and charity, LGBTQ, abortion, mass/illegal immigration, booze, gambling, pot, and other vives, diminishment of Second Amendment rights, and Affirmative Action and DEI, that is, race and gender based preference giving, that is, patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, religious discrimination, and national origin discrimination.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: “Will we highlight the Governor’s efforts to partner with Chinese-owned companies? Or will the flag become a state-sponsored tribute to the Pride flag?,” Niemerg, a member of the far-right Illinois Freedom Caucus, said in a statement. “We need patriotic citizens to take a stand against this clear attempt to rebrand our state.”

POLITICO
— “The debate makes a huge difference in Illinois down-ballot races as many competitive races were swinging our way when [Joe] Biden was on the ticket, and then the pendulum swung back when Kamala became the nominee,” said Illinois Republican Party Co-Chair Aaron Del Mar. “Harris’ performance will be an indicator of how voter intensity will be in November. If she performs like she did in 2020, that would dampen [Democratic] excitement and give us an edge.”

GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— The mainstream news media ever-increasingly functions as an arm of the Democrat Party. It ever-increasingly promotes more hatred against Trump/Vance. It ever-increasingly, succeeds in a) demonizing, denigrating, and condemning Trump/Vance and the Republican Party platform and b) promoting Harris/Walz and the Democrat Party platform. The leaders of the Illinois Republican Party, Republican county party organizations, and Republican township/ward party organizations should be doing far more to stress a) reasons to vote for Trump/Vance and b) reasons to not vote for Harris/Walz. They should be issuing press releases at least weekly. – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com

GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— What do you do, why do you do it, and what motivates you to do it?  I put GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters together and send them out every morning. I do that to promote the Republican Party platform, that is, I do that to promote prosperity and safety. The failure/refusal of far too many of the following to do the aforesaid motivates me to do what I do: a) leaders of Republican organizations, b) Republican elected officials, c) Republican candidates, d) conservative leaders, and e) religious leaders. Further, I am motivated by the big adverse actions that the aforesaid who claim to be religious, conservative, and/or Republican have taken against me. The aforesaid say that I “bring it on myself” and complain that I do not give them money. I should write about the aforesaid. Better yet, I should sue them. – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com

GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— Far too many read my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters who falsely claim to be religious, conservative, and/or Republican and/or who destroy those like me who they cannot manipulate or dominate, who refuse to glorify and praise them, who refuse to pander to them, who refuse to serve as one of their operatives or dupes, who refuse to cover up their wrong doing, and/or who refuse to give them money. I should write about the aforesaid who have had their operatives and their dupes take big adverse actions against me. – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com

GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— What are your demographics? Which of your demographics are decreasing in relative and/or absolute terms?  For me, in Illinois, DuPage County, Milton Township, and Wheaton, they include conservative, Republican, White, male, older, Protestant, German American, and those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time. Consequently, leaders of Illinois, DuPage County, Milton Township, and Wheaton ever-increasingly a) dump those who share my demographics and b) glorify, praise, and pander to those are liberal, moderate, Democrat, minority, female, younger, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or have ancestors who have not been in America for a long time. – Dave Diersen
