DAILY HERALD
— Trump and Republicans in Congress eye an ambitious 100-day agenda, starting with tax cuts (COMMENT: Ever since I was 18 years old in 1966, my critics/opponents have wanted me to pay more taxes a) because they believe that federal employees are grossly overpaid and that federal benefits and pensions are much too generous, b) because I was an IRS employee 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, c) because I avoided the draft, d) because of my wife’s income and our not having children, and e) because I paid less federal income tax 1972-1977 and my wife and I 1978 paid less federal income tax until recently by itemizing our deductions.)

CHAMPAIGN/URBANA NEWS GAZETTE
— Trump’s election numbers — good and bad — are remarkably consistent
https://www.news-gazette.com/opinion/columns/tom-kacich-trumps-election-numbers-good-and-bad-are-remarkably-consistent/article_df59249c-ada3-11ef-8e46-cf5bc3678e01.html
(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.)

GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— 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

— To vote for Democrats is to promote the Democrat Party platform, that is, to promote 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. 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. Will Trump be able to save the 2.4 million in Illinois, 191,000 in DuPage County, and 373 in my precinct who voted for him? – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com
— QUESTION: Who is most responsible for defending and advancing the Republican Party platform in Illinois, in your county, in your township, in your municipality, and in your school district? ANSWER: a)  U.S. Representatives Darin LaHood, Mike Bost, and  Mary Miller, b) Republican Illinois Senators and Representatives, c) Republican elected officials in your county, township, municipality, and school district, d) leaders of the Illinois Republican Party, and e) leaders of your county and township/ward party organizations. – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com
–Illinois Republican Party (IRP) State Central Committee (SCC) members run the IRP. QUESTION: Why has the IRP ever-increasingly moved to the left, that is, why have Illinois Republican candidates ever-increasingly lost elections? ANSWER: IRP SCC members are not directly elected by Illinois Republicans. Those who control the IRP SCC election process are Democrat Lite, RINO, anti-conservative, if not anti-Republican. They reject some, many, most, if not virtually all of the planks in the Republican Party platform. They despise if not hate Trump. They have taken many big adverse actions against me since 2000 because I promote direct election of IRP SCC members. I should write about that. – Dave Diersen

My Democrat IRS and GAO superiors, Hastert, my Republican U.S. Senators and Representatives, their staff members, and candidates for those offices wasted my knowledge of IRS. I worked for IRS 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. I worked for GAO on audits of IRS for 3 years at the GS-13 Step-1-3 Levels, currently $115,439-$123,136/year. I should write about that.

— Never Change Careers Before Answering These 6 Questions First (COMMENT: Of course, I asked myself all these questions before I transferred from IRS to GAO when I was 31 years old in 1980. 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. I should write a book about the aforesaid.)
