DAILY HERALD
— Former Glendale Heights village president says he can’t get a fair trial in DuPage County. DD: Could you get a fair trial? One could argue that I could not get a fair trial in Cook County and that was why I was denied my 7th Amendment right to a jury trial in Diersen v. GAO. I lacked “jury appeal’ because of my bad demographics. I was , Republican, White, male, old, getting a $68,640/year federal pension in today’s dollars, my wife had a good-paying job, the federal government was paying 72% of our health insurance, we had no debts, we had no dependents, we lived in a home we had built in Wheaton in 1984, we owned cars, I am Protestant, I am 100% German American, and my ancestors have been in America since 1844, I had been a Crete resident 1948-1972, etc. One could argue that because of the aforesaid, no jury would ever rule in my favor.

— Can the GOP Thrive in Illinois and Chicago? DD: Political parties exist to help elect candidates who can and will defend and advance their platform. The Republican Party platform is conservative. Ever since Big Jim Thompson, Republican leaders in Illinois have a) dumped more and more and more planks in the Republican Party platform, b) moved the party further to the left, and c) made the party “Democrat Lite.” While they were doing that, Illinois Democrat leaders have ever-increasingly advanced the liberal Democrat Party platform.

My critics/opponents applaud the reasons why my Democrat IRS and GAO superiors delayed and blocked my promotions. They delayed and blocked my promotions because I was not a Democrat, minority, female, younger, or veteran. They delayed and blocked my promotions a) because I complained about their political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination and b) because I became an active member in a class action lawsuit that charged them with the aforesaid when I was 40 in 1988.

But my Democrat GAO superiors wanted me to take their early retirement “offer” which expired on September 30, 1997. They wanted to get rid of their employees like me who were conservative, Republican, White, male, older, and/or non-veteran and who they had not promoted to Senior Executive Service, currently $197,200/year. All my superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates in the federal government who my Democrat GAO superiors got rid of shared most if not virtually all of my demographics.

DD: While I worked for the Democrats who ran GAO 1980-1997, they gave their Chicago field office managers lists of employees to get rid of who were conservative, Republican, White, male, older, and/or non-veteran. I was always at the top of those lists. The less success that managers had ousting those employees, the sooner that they were ousted. I would not have survived for almost 18 years or have gotten promoted in 1986 if I had not a) earned master’s degrees in business in 1976, accounting in 1980, and finance in 1997, b) earned professional certifications in accounting in 1979, internal auditing in 1981, fraud examination in 1990, government financial management in 1994, financial services auditing in 1996, and forensic accounting in 1997, and c) become a licensed CPA in 1981.

Since the 1960s, Democrat and RINO leaders have ever-increasingly advanced people because they were Democrat, RINO, minority, female, younger, veteran, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or had ancestors who had not been in America for a long time. That ever-increasingly rendered worthless my job-related 1970 bachelor’s degree, my 1976, 1980, and 1997 job-related master’s degrees, my job-related 1979, 1981, 1990, 1994, 1996, and 1997 professional certifications, and my 1981 job-related professional license.

I have been a federal retiree for almost 29 years. In my defense, I would not have become postal employee when I was 18 in 1966 if my high school friend had not asked me to take the postal employment test with him. I would not have become an IRS employee when I was 22 in 1971 if Oldsmobile had not agreed to stop hiring Whites to settle an EEOC complaint. Because of that agreement, Oldsmobile withdrew a job offer that I had accepted. Because I had accepted that offer, my Firestone Store boss rudely fired me.

They ignored/dismissed/belittled/badmouthed that I had a) worked full-time for Firestone Stores 1970-1971 and part-time 1971-1972.

(FROM THE ARTICLE: In a significant development reflecting heightened federal scrutiny of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives, the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) recently announced a $500,000 settlement with Planned Parenthood of Illinois. This resolution stems from an EEOC investigation into allegations of race-based discrimination and harassment tied to the organization’s DEI programming. The settlement serves as an important reminder that DEI initiatives, while often well-intentioned, remain subject to the same statutory requirements as all other workplace practices under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. EEOC allegations and findings. The EEOC initiated a class investigation following multiple employee charges alleging that Planned Parenthood’s DEI initiatives resulted in disparate treatment and a hostile work environment. According to the EEOC, the organization’s programs impermissibly classified employees based on race and created unequal working conditions. Specifically, the EEOC alleged that Planned Parenthood: Required employees to participate in mandatory affinity groups segregated by race; Conducted DEI trainings that included statements perceived as derogatory toward white employees; Administered workplace benefits, including time-off opportunities, in a manner that differed based on race; and Failed to adequately address or remediate alleged discriminatory conduct until after internal escalation. The EEOC emphasized that Title VII contains no exception for DEI-related initiatives and reiterated that its protections apply equally to all employees, regardless of race or other protected characteristics.)
