— Democrats run the federal government. Federal employees are their patronage army. They hired me in 1980, 1971, and 1966 because they could not find a qualified Democrat, minority, female, younger person, or veteran who would take the job. They wasted my career and got rid of me because I refused to become a Democrat. – Dave Diersen

— My critics/opponents demand blind loyalty. They have their operatives and dupes destroy those like me who they cannot manipulate/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. – Dave Diersen

Nevertheless, a) I started taking graduate evening business courses at Loyola in 1972 and earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976 and b) I started taking graduate evening accounting courses at DePaul in 1976 and earned a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980.

— The Democrat Party platform promotes poverty and crime. How many limousine liberal Democrats and RINOs live in your county, township, municipality, school district, and precinct? How strongly do they want to protect the value of their homes and their personal safety? Can the conservative Republicans who live there count on them to stop the worst Democrat and RINO policies that promote poverty and crime there? – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com
— What offices are on the March 17, 2026 Republican primary ballot in your precinct? Who are the candidates for those offices? What do you know about them? How strongly are the leaders of the following recruiting candidates: Illinois Republican Party (IRP), your Republican county party organization, and your Republican township party organization? The leaders of the IRP, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Milton Township Republican Organization have never recruited me to run for anything. Why is that? I should write about that. – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com
— Democrat and RINO leaders ever-increasingly promote more LGBTQ. I was baptized, raised, and confirmed as a Missouri Synod Lutheran. I have always opposed the promotion of LGBTQ. If Democrat and RINO leaders had promoted LGBTQ back then like they do now, a) the Democrats who ran the Post Office in 1966, IRS in 1971, and GAO in 1980 would not have hired me, b) if the Post Office had hired me, it would have forced me to resign sooner than it did, c) if IRS had hired me, it would not have promoted me in 1972, 1973, and 1974, c) if GAO had hired me, it would not have promoted me in 1986 and would have forced me to resign in 1993 instead of 1997, d) the RINOs who have run the Illinois Republican Party (IRP), DuPage County Republican Central Committee (DCRCC), and Milton Township Republican Organization (MTRO) since 1999 would not have appointed me as a precinct committeeman in 1999 and they would have defeated me when I ran for precinct committeeman in 2000. If they had failed to defeat me, they never would have made me MTRO webmaster in 2000 and 2008. When I ran for MTRO Treasurer in 2004, I would have gotten zero votes instead of just 13. Topinka dominated the IRP, DCRCC, and MTRO. – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com
— How has Gingrich impacted you? I worked for the Democrats who ran GAO 1980-1997. What if Gingrich had reformed GAO instead of gutting it? GAO would have offered me a promotion instead of a pay cut to transfer from IRS in 1980. GAO would have immediately and always assigned me to audits of IRS. GAO would have promoted me into its Senior Executive Service, currently $153,151/year, before I was 40 in 1988. I had worked for IRS for almost 9 years, the last 5 1/2 years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 Levels, currently $99,069-$112,280/year. I had earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976. I had passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979. I had earned a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980. I had passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt and became a licensed CPA in 1981. All my GAO coworkers who my Democrat GAO superiors promoted over me were Democrats who a) 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, and/or were minority, female, and/or younger than me. – Dave Diersen

Those who are anti-older people use DEI to get rid of older people. Those who are anti-Protestant use DEI to get rid of Protestants. Those who are anti-German American use DEI to get rid of German Americans. Those who are anti-those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time use DEI to get rid of those who have ancestors who have been in America for a long time. I should write about the aforesaid. – Dave Diersen

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Earlier this month, DOGE — the Elon Musk-run cost-cutting effort, which stands for Department of Government Efficiency — sought to “assign a team” to the Government Accountability Office, the congressional watchdog agency, which rejected the request, according to the GAO. . .GAO spokesperson Sarah Kaczmarek said in a statement that the agency had told DOGE that GAO is a legislative branch agency, not subject to executive orders and “has therefore declined any requests to have a DOGE team assigned to GAO. DOGE acknowledged receipt of our letter. GAO considers the matter closed [and] we are focused on our mission of supporting Congress.”)
