— Illinois and Cook County’s $15/hour minimum wage set to increase in January 2025. (COMMENT: I worked part-time for the minimum wage 1964-1966 washing dishes in the basement of the S.S. Kresge in Chicago Heights while I was a junior and senior at Crete-Monee High School. In today’s dollars, that minimum wage was $12.41/hour. With the money that I earned and saved, I bought a new 1966 Pontiac Tempest Sprint, a poor man’s GTO, in May of 1966.)

If I was still working, that is, if my Democrat GAO superiors had not forced me to retire when I was 49 in 1997, a) I would not have gotten $1.8 million in CSRS pension payments since 1997 in today’s dollars and b) I would have paid into CSRS $286,262 in today’s dollar.)

During that time, I bought a new 1972 Corvette, a new town home, and a studio condo and I completed 12 graduate business courses at Loyola. Also 1976-1981 when I earned an MBA from Loyola, bought a one bedroom condo, got married and bought a home in Wheaton, passed the CPA examination on my first attempt, earned a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul, passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt, and became a licensed CPA. Also, 1986-1988 when GAO assigned me to audits of IRS and promoted me to GS-13 (currently $115,439/year). When were your bad old days? Mine include 1974 when my Democrat IRS superiors disallowed my travel vouchers and 1978 when then they disallowed my education deductions and after 1974 when they refused to promote me to GS-13. They include 1980 when my Democrat GAO superiors forced me to suffer a $22,996/year pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO. They include 1980-1985 when they refused to assign me to audits of IRS, delayed my promotions, and refused to promote me to GS-13. They include 1989-1997 when they kept me off audits of IRS, always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes, and forced me to retire when I was 49 years old.)

— Trump’s FBI pick has plans to reshape the bureau. This is what Kash Patel has said he wants to do. (COMMENT: I worked for the Democrats who ran GAO 1980-1997. Charles Bowsher ran GAO 1981-1996. Under him, GAO shrank from over 6,000 employees to under 3,000. GAO is less than a shell of what it once was. Its employees who conservative, Republican, White, male, older, Protestant, German American, and/or had ancestors who had been in America for a long time were gotten rid of and replaced with employees who were liberal, Democrat, minority, female, younger, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or had ancestors who had not been in America for a long time. I should write a book about the aforesaid.)

— When Republican candidates on ballots in your precinct lose elections, who blames who for that? Since 2000, my critics/opponents in the Milton Township Republican Organization, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Illinois Republican Party have blamed me and have blamed my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters for losses suffered my Republican candidates on ballots in my DuPage County Milton Township precinct in Wheaton. They hint/imply/argue/shout a) that I paint the candidates in my newsletters as being far more conservative than they are and that causes them to lose elections and b) that I include links to articles in my newsletters that they do not like. I should write about my critics/opponents. I would focus on those who have had their operatives and dupes take the most/biggest adverse actions against me recently. – Dave Diersen

LANSING JOURNAL
— Thornton Township election preview: Tuesday is Caucus Day; candidates so far (COMMENT: It would be great if all township governments would issue press releases that would provide such detail.)
https://thelansingjournal.com/2024/12/02/thornton-township-election-preview-tuesday-is-caucus-day-candidates-so-far/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: In preparation for what could be the most contested Thornton Township election in recent history, major political parties will each hold a caucus Tuesday, Dec. 3, to select candidates for supervisor, clerk, assessor, highway commissioner, and four trustee seats. Voters will go to the polls on April 1, 2025, to make their selections in the Consolidated Election, and the caucuses determine which candidates they will see on their ballots. A source familiar with Thornton Township politics said these are the first caucuses held in many years. . .Residents of Thornton Township may participate in either the Democratic or Republican Party caucuses, nominating a candidate and voting on their party’s nominees. By participating in the caucus, a resident is becoming affiliated with that political party. Caucus proceedings When entering the caucus room, participants will be asked to sign an affidavit stating they are registered to vote in Thornton Township and are affiliated with the established political party conducting the caucus — that they are a registered Democrat or registered Republican. The chair of the proceedings will call the caucus to order. They will introduce the caucus judges of election and announce the offices for which nominees will be selected. Then the chair calls for nominations, which can come from anyone in the caucus. The procedure continues until there are no more nominations. Participants then vote on their preferred nominees. The highest vote-getters in each race are selected as the nominee. Independent and other candidates Candidates running under non-major political parties have already filed their candidacy for Thornton Township, and do not participate in the caucus process. Four Independent Party candidates are looking to unseat Henyard: Nate Fields Jr., LaShunte’ Lollis-Walton, Stafford Owens, and Sidney Moore. Harvey Mayor Chris Clark is also a candidate for supervisor, leading a Reform Thornton Township Party ticket that includes four candidates for trustee: Harvey city administrator Corean Davis, Harvey fifth ward alderperson Dominique Randle-El, Rachel Jones, and Jacinta J. Gholston. Also running for trustee are Democrat Mary Ann Thornton and Independent Felesa Melvin. Running for highway commissioner is Independent Kenny Williams. The township Clerk’s office reported no filings for clerk or assessor. It is not clear whether other incumbents on the Thornton Township Board of Trustees, all Democrats, are seeking nominations to retain their seats.)

— Former Lauzen employee slams his expertise, treatment of her
https://www.shawlocal.com/kane-county-chronicle/2024/11/30/former-lauzen-employee-slams-his-expertise-treatment-of-her/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: In an email, Lauzen wrote that he fired Cain on Friday, Nov. 22. “It is now obvious to me that I made a mistake when I hired her,” Lauzen’s email stated. When there were concerns about her work, he said, he gave her a written six-month performance improvement plan. . .In his email, Lauzen denied saying he had “given up” on her, spoke to her with contempt, and justified that he wanted her log in ID and password because he is “ultimately responsible for everything that occurs in the Treasurer’s Office, both good and bad, I need to know what is going on around me.” As to his lack of computer skills, Lauzen said he depends on his staff and the IT department to assist. “There is no conceit on my part that my data processing skills are in any way exemplary,” Lauzen wrote. “I’m not shy to ask for help.” Lauzen also wrote that the Treasurer’s Office does not have to follow Government Accounting Standard Board rules regarding revenue. It also does not have statutory responsibility or authority to produce or present the county’s financial statements. “The Accounting Department does. Therefore, we have nothing to do with the applicability of any GASB regulations,” Lauzen wrote.)

— Redefining diversity in Trump’s second administration (COMMENT: All my coworkers who my Democrat superiors promoted over me were Democrats who had less work experience than I had, had less education than I had, had no professional certifications or fewer than I had, and/or had no professional license like the one I had. They all were minority, female, younger than me, veteran, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or had ancestors who had not been in America for a long time.)
https://thehill.com/opinion/white-house/5012229-trump-dei-merit/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: President-elect Donald Trump’s resounding victory signals a turning point for our nation. As America grapples with the consequences of unchecked diversity, equity and inclusion or DEI policies, the second Trump administration has a clear mandate to restore fairness and meritocracy in employment law. . .At its core, DEI as currently practiced is antithetical to the principles of fairness and equality. Instead of leveling the playing field, it tilts it steeply in favor of select groups, creating a workplace culture where hiring and promotions are often dictated by identity rather than merit. DEI practices, though often cloaked in the language of equity, are nothing more than reverse discrimination, punishing individuals for their race or gender while undermining the very concept of merit-based achievement. . .Second, Trump can promote merit-based hiring and advancement. Meritocracy is the cornerstone of a thriving economy. Employment decisions should be based on skills, qualifications and performance — not identity. The Trump administration must make it clear that federally regulated industries and contractors will face penalties for using quotas or “diversity scorecards” as hiring criteria. Transparency in hiring and promotion processes should also be mandated to ensure fairness. . .America’s workplaces must remain places of opportunity and collaboration, not battlegrounds for ideological warfare. DEI, as it currently stands, has created an environment of division, resentment and legal uncertainty. By focusing on merit, fairness and individual rights, the Trump administration can undo the damage wrought by years of identity politics and restore a culture of excellence and mutual respect.)

https://www.cnn.com/2024/09/09/business/job-market-law-enforcement/index.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Police departments and sheriff’s offices across are clamoring for new recruits after grappling with a sharp drop in applicants and a wave of retirements after George Floyd’s murder in 2020 caused many to be wary of working for a police force, recruiters told CNN. . .The average salary of a police officer climbed more than 37% in the first eight months of this year compared to the same time last year, according to ZipRecruiter data provided to CNN. That’s a recent sign of strong demand for police officers, because from 2022 to 2023 the average salary for policing jobs rose by roughly 8%. “Police departments are trying hard to make the role more attractive after suffering a recruitment and retention crisis,” said ZipRecruiter Chief Economist Julia Pollak. She added that there’s also been a huge spike in job postings on ZipRecruiter listing “law enforcement” as a desired skill. While a police officer may be a steady job, it’s important to note that it usually requires a months-long training process (typically paid), as well as an extensive background check.)

I gave up searching for jobs appropriate for someone with my work experience, professional certifications, and professional license long ago because potential employers were turned off by the many adverse actions that my Democrat GAO superiors had taken against me. In addition to forcing me to retire early, they had a) delayed my promotions and never promoting me beyond GS-13, b) always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes, and c) forced me to take a $22,996 (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO. Further they were turned off by my bad demographics, my having complained about political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination, and my having sued my GAO superiors for the aforesaid. Thankfully, my wife and I could afford the $84,910/year loss in income in today’s dollars that I suffered a) because of my wife’s income, b) because of my $65,165/year federal pension in today’s dollars, c) because the federal government pays 72% of our health insurance premiums, and d) because we have no debts or dependents.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: The final, official 2024 election returns are in, and boy, are they consistent. When it comes to the last three presidential elections, 2024 doesn’t look much different than 2016 or 2020 in our area. Let’s start with Champaign County, where Donald Trump’s losing percentage — a historically bad one for three consecutive elections — has barely budged. He got 36.52 percent in 2024, 36.92 percent in 2020 and 36.42 percent in 2016. No candidate has done that poorly in the county in a presidential election with just two major candidates since Democrat Adlai Stevenson in 1952 and 1956 (34 and 33 percent, respectively). Poor Jimmy Carter got just 32.2 percent in 1980, but that was also had Illinois congressman and University of Illinois graduate John Anderson running as an independent, and he got 15 percent of the vote here.)

— According to Democrat leaders, a) voters are fully aware of the Democrat Party platform, b) they support it, and c) that is why they vote for Democrat candidates. But how aware are they of the Democrat Party platform? The Democrat Party platform promotes dependency on government and charity, LGBTQ, abortion, mass/illegal immigration, booze, gambling, pot, and other vices, diminishment of Second Amendment rights, Affirmative Action and DEI, that is, race and gender based preference giving, patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, religious discrimination, and nation origin discrimination. The aforesaid promotes poverty and crime. My “Republican” critics/opponents are Democrat Lite, RINO, anti-conservative, if not anti-Republican. They fail/refuse to speak against the Democrat Party platform. They fail/refuse to promote the Republican Party platform. They focus on stopping me from sending out GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters. They focus on stopping everyone from reading my newsletters. They have had their operatives and their dupes take many big adverse actions against me since 2000. I should start writing about my critics/opponents. – Dave Diersen

The aforesaid promotes poverty and crime. QUESTION: Why are voters leaving Illinois? ANSWER: 3 million in Illinois voted for Harris, that is, for the Democrat Party platform, 251,000 in DuPage County, and 478 in my precinct. Pritzker ever-increasingly makes it clear that he is going to use Illinois government get rid of those who voted for Trump once and for all.

GAO audits IRS. However, my Democrat GAO superiors did everything that they could to make my transfer a failure. They forced me to take a $22,996/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer. They ignored/dismissed/belittled my knowledge of IRS and that much of what I did at IRS was very similar to what I would do at GAO. They kept me off of audits of IRS for all but 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for GAO. They delayed my promotions and never promoted me beyond GS-13. They always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay for performance purposes. They forced me to retire when I was 49 years old in 1997. They ignored/dismissed/belittled my earning an MBA in 1976, my passing the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, my earning a master’s degree in accounting in 1980, my passing the Certified Internal Auditor examination and becoming a licensed CPA in 1981, my earning four more job-related professional certifications in 1990, 1994, 1996, and 1997, and my earning a master’s degree in finance in 1997.

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Unlike traditional background check services that require manual work like gathering documents from various government and judicial systems about an individual’s history, Checkr maintains partnerships with governments so it can tap a large digital database of public records. . .More recently, Checkr has expanded its customer base to include non-tech sectors such as retail, manufacturing and hospitality. It also introduced a personal background-check product this year, letting individuals ensure the accuracy of their history before it’s seen by banks, landlords and potential employers.)

(FROM THE POSTING: Every person hired for a federal job must undergo a background investigation to ensure that they are “reliable, trustworthy, of good conduct and character, and loyal to the United States.” This is an important and lengthy part of the appointment process. Familiarize yourself with the forms
To initiate a background investigation, your sponsoring agency will ask you to complete one or more of these forms: the Questionnaire for National Security Positions (SF 86) ( https://www.opm.gov/forms/pdf_fill/sf86.pdf ) or the Questionnaire for Public Trust Positions (SF 85P) ( https://www.opm.gov/forms/pdf_fill/sf85p.pdf ), depending on how your position may affect national security and other sensitive matters such as government finance and technology. The government is in the process of consolidating these forms into one Personnel Vetting Questionnaire. It may take weeks to gather your records and complete, and longer if you have significant foreign travel. Get started early!)

They have always hinted/implied/argued/shouted that Blacks should have gotten the jobs and promotions that I got. They were especially furious when IRS promoted me instead of Blacks in 1972, 1973, and 1974 and GAO promoted me instead of a Black in 1986. They were overjoyed when GAO forced me to retire in 1997 and gave my job and my preferred corner office to my Black subordinate. I should write a book about the aforesaid.

ILLINOIS REVIEW
— IL GOP Support Proves Again to be the ‘Kiss of Death’ Even During a Trump-Dominated, Historic Election Cycle
https://www.illinoisreview.com/illinoisreview/2024/11/il-gop-support-proves-again-to-be-the-kiss-of-death-even-during-a-trump-dominated-historic-election-cycle.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: It wasn’t that long ago when IL GOP leaders were endorsing Fl. Gov. Ron DeSantis’ failed presidential bid, hosting ‘Never Trumpers’ at fundraisers in Naples, Florida; naming anti-MAGA officials as gala co-chairs and blaming President Donald Trump for Illinois election losses in 2020 and 2022. When Trump secured the Republican nomination for president last Spring, those same officials were silent. But that’s not all. When this publication revealed that a party leader in 2016 compared Donald Trump to Adolf Hitler – IL GOP officials were once again silent. This pattern, however, should come as no surprise. In 2022, IL GOP officials backed Richard Irvin’s failed campaign for Illinois governor. During the primary campaign, it was reported by WTTW’s Paris Schutz that in 2018, Irvin sent text messages calling Trump an “idiot” and a “bigoted racist.” Irvin also texted the friend, “I hate Trump too!” Irvin would lose the primary to the Trump-endorsed candidate by 43 points. During Republican Day at the Illinois State Fair last year, then Illinois Republican national committeeman Richard Porter gave an interview to the Chicago Tribune and said that Trump couldn’t win independent voters in swing states in 2024 and that he was running for president to avoid going to jail. “I think the most ardent Trumpers recognize that they might love him in their heart, but they know in their head he is not going to win independents in Georgia, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Michigan, New Hampshire, Arizona and Nevada. And that’s what you need to do to become president. And if you don’t become president of the United States, Trump goes to jail.” After this publication ran a story on his reported comments, Porter was in damage control, offering a long explanation to try and repair the damage – but it was too little, too late. And during the 2024 election, Trump would win every swing state proving Porter to be wrong once again. And former Illinois House Republican leader Jim Durkin – who is revered and respected by IL GOP leaders – likes to blame Trump for every Republican loss in Illinois. In November 2023, Durkin announced that he was not going to run for Cook County State’s Attorney and he blamed President Trump for his decision not to throw his hat in the race. “I know that if you’re going to run in a race, you have to run knowing that you have a good chance of winning, and I see no path winning with Trump at the top of the ticket [in 2024],” Durkin told CBS Chicago anchor Brad Edwards. In the Spring of 2022, IL GOP leaders traveled down to Naples, Florida to host a private reception featuring former US Attorney General Bill Baar, who served as AG under the George HW Bush and Donald Trump presidential administrations. Baar remains critical of Trump, and in November of 2022, he published a scathing opinion piece in the New York Post, writing, “Unless the rest of the party goes along with him, he will burn the whole house down by leading ‘his people’ out of the GOP. Trump’s willingness to destroy the party if he does not get his way is not based on principle, but on his own supreme narcissism. His egoism makes him unable to think of a political party as anything but an extension of himself – a cult of personality.” During this past election cycle where Trump dominated and made history winning both the popular and electoral votes by historic margins – and Republicans took control of the U.S. Senate and maintained control of the U.S. House – IL GOP leaders once again proved why their support is the ‘kiss of death.’ In District 10, Democrat U.S. Rep. Brad Schneider smoked Republican Jim Carris – who was the darling of the IL GOP, by 20 points – the largest margin of defeat of any congressional candidate. Illinois Republican leaders came out strong for Carris in ways not seen with other pro-MAGA candidates – as Carris had the support of the IL GOP establishment and leaders like IL GOP co-chair Kathy Salvi and national committeeman Dean White. Carris even appeared alongside Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk at a private event where the two shared the stage. Carris is pro-choice and refused to vocalize any support of Trump during his failed congressional campaign. “I’ve done a lot of research on this and studied and really given it a lot of thought and I am a pro-choice candidate,” Carris told a group in Winnetka, Illinois on June 6, 2024. During that same event, Carris refused to offer support for Trump when asked – who at the time was the presumptive Republican nominee for President, saying, “I am an independent person. I will decide when the time comes, but I’m concerned about my own campaign at this point…rather than be worried about the national election.” Carris was also endorsed by former U.S. Sen. Mark Kirk (IL), who is a Never Trumper – and called him “one of my political heroes…I can’t tell you how meaningful this is to me.” During the 2016 national GOP convention, many IL GOP leaders, including then Gov. Rauner, former Gov. Jim Edgar, US Sen. Mark Kirk and Rauner-appointed Comptroller Leslie Munger, skipped the convention because they did not support Trump. Kirk even ran an ad that said that Trump was not “fit to be Commander in Chief.” Across Illinois, state Democratic leaders maintained their super majority control as Republicans failed to flip any seats despite this being a historic Republican year with Trump at the top of the ticket. Democrats in the state House maintain the largest majority over Republicans in Illinois history. So what’s the key takeaway? IL GOP leaders and their cadre of failed political consultants have proven that like the Chicago Bears – they can find creative ways to lose and snatch defeat out of the jaws of victory. But what can you expect? It’s in their DNA.)

That ended my parents’ annual family reunions that had been held for many decades. That had a major impact on me.)
https://wordandway.org/2024/08/15/what-congress-reveals-about-lutheran-denominations/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Among the current 532 members of Congress (there are three open House seats at the moment), Republicans have a narrow majority with 51% of the seats. The partisan divide among Lutheran members in Congress depends on which denomination. Of the 20 Lutheran members identified, 12 belong to the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America that Walz is part of, while 7 are in the more conservative Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod. One other member, Republican Sen. Ron Johnson of Wisconsin, is part of the Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod, which is smaller and more conservative than the other two bodies. . .The members of the 118th Congress show which Lutheran denominations in public life have the most partisan leaning. Only the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America has a bipartisan delegation, while the Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod and the Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod currently only send Republicans to Congress.)

CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— Walmart’s DEI rollback signals a profound shift in the wake of Trump’s election victory (COMMENT: If American Presidents had been like Trump when I was young, my Democrat superiors in the federal government would have promoted me into their Senior Executive Service long before I was 40 years old years old notwithstanding a) my not earning an MBA until I was 27, b) my not passing the CPA examination until I was 30, c) my not earning a master’s degree in accounting until I was 31, and d) my not passing the Certified Internal Auditor examination and becoming a licensed CPA util I was 32.)

— Newly improved FAFSA student aid application released following last year’s technical woes (COMMENT: Did you apply for financial aid? I did not because my father earned too much money – $50,000/year in today’s dollars. Did you apply for an academic scholarship? I did not because my ACT score was only 24 and I only just barely made it into the upper 20% of my class. Instead, I washed dishes part-time for the S.S. Kresge in Chicago Heights at $12.41/hour in today’s dollars and saved all the money that I could to pay for my college expenses at UIC and for a new 1966 Pontiac Tempest Sprint to commute to/from classes and parents’ home in Crete. Things got better financially when I started working part-time for the Park Forest Post Office in November of 1966 at $18.99/hour in today’s dollars. But my GPA suffered because instead of studying, I worked all the hours that I could delivering mail.)

— Trump wants to cut federal employees. I worked for the Democrats who ran GAO for almost 18 years, IRS almost 9 years, and the Post Office almost 3 years. I was always on my Democrat superiors’ lists of employees who they wanted cut. I was able to survive that long because I earned a) a job-related bachelor’s degree when I was 21, b) job-related master’s degrees when I was 27, 31, and 48, c) job-related professional certifications when I was 29, 32, 41, 45, 47, and 48, and d) a job-related professional license when I was 32. – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com
— How thankful are you? According to my critics/opponents, I have never been thankful enough. They have always attributed all my successes in life to my benefitting from discrimination against those who share their demographics: liberal/moderate, minority, female, younger, LGBTQ, veteran, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or have ancestors who have not been in America for a long time. In my defense, I stress that neither of my parents attended college, my father was only the first of my ancestors to earn a high school diploma, my mother never attended high school, and I had to work my way through college. I should write about my critics/opponents. I would focus on those who have lots of religious, government, political, and/or financial clout in Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois and have their operative and their dupes take many big adverse actions against me. I would focus on those whose parents had lots of money and bought them cars, paid for their college expenses, and got them jobs. – Dave Diersen

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/disgusting-ex-gop-rep-shreds-elon-musk-s-dangerous-attack-on-civil-service/ar-AA1uSZTX
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Former Rep. Joe Walsh (R-IL) slammed tech billionaire and Donald Trump ally Elon Musk for publicly naming examples of government employees he will target for elimination. “Shame on anyone who doesn’t have a problem with the wealthiest man on the planet publicly sharing the individual names of government employees he wants fired,” wrote Walsh, who went from being a Tea Party activist to one of the most outspoken conservative opponents of Trump. “Calling them out by name. Disgusting. Dangerous.” Musk, who helped Trump run critical sections of his campaign in the election and now heads up a MAGA task force on how to cut government spending, made the threats against specific employees earlier this week, according to CNN.)
— Is this the list of federal employees whom Elon Musk, Vivek Ramaswamy may fire? Here’s the truth. (COMMENT: While I worked for the Democrats who ran the federal government for almost 30 years, I was always on their fire lists.

(FROM THE ARTICLE: The viral list stemmed from X and DOGE has not issued any such list. The information shared on the screenshot are also from government records.

— Musk’s DOGE May Cut These Federal Agencies (COMMENT: Republicans ever-increasingly cut GAO while I worked for the Democrats who ran the agency 1980-1997. They ever-increasingly took their anger at Republicans out on me, one of the few Republicans in the agency. I should write a book about that. They forced me to suffer a $22,996 (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO. They delayed my promotions and never promote me beyond GS-13 even though I had earned a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980 and passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination and became a licensed CPA in 1981. They keep me off audits of IRS until 1986 when the GAO manager who had arranged for my transfer was finally able to assign me to audits of IRS and to promote me to GS-13. But in 1987, they forced him to retire, and in 1989, they threw me off audits of IRS forever, gave me an very bad job assignment, gave me very unfair performance expectations, gave me a very unfair performance appraisal, and ranked me at the bottom of my coworkers for pay-for-performance (PFP) purposes. They never again assigned me to audits of IRS, they always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for PFP purposes, and they forced me to retire in 1997 even though I had earned job-related professional certifications in 1990, 1994, 1996, and 1997 and a job-related master’s degree in 1997.)

PSYCHOLOGY TODAY
— How to Be More Thankful (COMMENT: According to my critics/opponents, I have never been thankful enough. They have always attributed all my successes in life to my benefitting from discrimination against those who share their demographics: liberal/moderate, minority, female, younger, LGBTQ, veteran, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or have ancestors who have not been in America for a long time. In my defense, I stress that neither of my parents attended college, my father was only the first of my ancestors to earn a high school diploma, my mother never attended high school, and I had to work my way through college. I should write about my critics/opponents. I would focus on 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 many big adverse actions against me. I would focus on those whose parents had lots of money and bought them cars, paid for their college expenses, and got them jobs.)

I was able to survive that long because I earned a) a job-related bachelor’s degree when I was 21, b) job-related master’s degrees when I was 27, 31, and 48, c) job-related professional certifications when I was 29, 32, 41, 45, 47, and 48, and d) a job-related professional license when I was 32.)

— What government policy has negatively impacted you the most? For me, it is Affirmative Action (AA) and DEI. To settle an EEOC complaint, EEOC forced Oldsmobile to withdrew a job offer that I had accepted when I was 22 in 1971. My Democrat superiors in the federal government used AA and DEI along with up-or-out to waste my career and force me to retire 1997. All my coworkers who my Democrat superiors promoted over me were Democrats who were minority and/or female and/or had less work experience than I had, had less education than I had, had no professional certifications or fewer than I had, and/or had no professional license like the one I had. They ignored/dismissed/belittled a) the job-related master’s degrees that I earned in 1976, 1980, and 1997, b) the job-related professional certifications that I earned in 1979, 1981, 1990, 1994, 1996, and 1997, and c) the job-related professional license that I earned in 1981. AA and DEI promoting leaders of the Illinois Republican Party, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Milton Township Republican Organization used AA and DEI to stop me holding any leadership roles in the aforesaid. They have always stressed a) that I am not a minority, female, or veteran, b) that I am old (born in 1948), and c) that I am Protestant, German American, my ancestors have been in America since 1844, Crete resident 1948-1972, and Wheaton resident since 1978. – Dave Diersen

— My critics/opponents have always been woke and they continue to be woke. They continue to promote dependency on government and charity, LGBTQ, abortion, mass/illegal immigration, booze, gambling, pot, and other vices, diminishment of second amendment rights, and Affirmative Action and DEI, that is, race and gender based preference giving, patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, religious discrimination, and national origin discrimination. – Dave Diersen

If I had been the aforesaid, they would have promoted me into their Senior Executive Service long before I was 40 years old notwithstanding a) my not earning an MBA until I was 27, b) my not passing the CPA examination until I was 30, c) my not earning a master’s degree in accounting until I was 31, and d) my not passing the Certified Internal Auditor examination and becoming a licensed CPA util I was 32. – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com
— According to Democrat and RINO leaders, minorities and females will never succeed in life unless they continue to benefit from Affirmative Action and DEI, that Is, unless they continue to get massive race and gender based preference. According to Democrat and RINO leaders, that is because Republicans continue to discriminate against minorities and females, and especially Republicans who are conservative, White, male, older, non-poor, non-veteran, Protestant, German American, and/or have ancestors who have been in America for a long time. – Dave Diersen

WALL STREET JOURNAL
— IRS Enforcement Money Has Unexpected $20 Billion Hole. Biden administration officials rush to address quirk in congressional funding before they leave office. (COMMENT: Democrats run GAO and IRS and GAO audits IRS. I transferred from IRS to GAO when I was 31 in 1980. My Democrat IRS superiors did not want me to audit IRS because I had learned a lot about IRS having worked for it for almost 9 years, the last 5 1/2 years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 Levels, currently $97,079-$110,020/year in today’s dollars and they had a) disallowed my travel vouchers in 1974, b) disallowed my education deductions in 1978, and c) never promoted me beyond GS-12 even though I had earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976 and had passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979. My Democrat IRS superiors wanted my Democrat GAO superiors to force me to suffer a $22,996 (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer which they did. They wanted them to delay my promotions and never promote me beyond GS-13 which they did even though I had earned a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980 and passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination and became a licensed CPA in 1981. They wanted them to keep me off audits of IRS for as long as possible which they did. However, in 1986, the GAO manager who had arranged for my transfer was finally able to and did assign me to audits of IRS and to promote me to GS-13. But in 1987, they forced him to retire, and in 1989, they threw me off audits of IRS forever, gave me an very bad job assignment, gave me very unfair performance expectations, gave me a very unfair performance appraisal, and ranked me at the bottom of my coworkers for pay-for-performance (PFP) purposes. They never again assigned me to audits of IRS, they always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for PFP purposes, and they forced me to retire in 1997 even though I had earned job-related professional certifications in 1990, 1994, 1996, and 1997 and a job-related master’s degree in 1997. I should write a book about the aforesaid.)

https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/campaigns/3206644/political-affiliation-divided-along-racial-lines-among-churchgoers/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: White Evangelical Protestants are Trump’s largest backers with 81% supporting him, followed by white Catholics, 61%, then white mainline/non-Evangelical Protestants, 60%. Harris’s biggest backers are black Protestants, 83%, religiously unaffiliated people, 70%, and Hispanic Catholics, 61%. While Hispanic Catholics largely support Harris, Hispanic Christians of all types that attend church weekly swing to Trump, with 55% supporting him over 41% supporting Harris. The poll found several areas of overlap between white and Hispanic Protestants, the majority of both support Trump. The exodus of Christian Hispanics away from Catholicism toward Protestantism could help explain Trump’s increasing standing with Hispanics. Half of Hispanics are expected to be Protestant by 2030, a demographic that was once almost uniformly Catholic.)
