ILLINOIS FAMILY INSTITUTE
— Paid by the Head. On June 11, 2026, three federal officials stood before a room full of journalists in Washington, described a crime scene the size of a city, and revealed that the government itself was responsible for it. Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche, Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin, and Acting Office of Refugee Resettlement Director Angie Salazar told the country what their investigators had found. More than 475,000 unaccompanied children were referred to the federal government during the Biden administration. By the end of 2024, more than 300,000 of them could not be accounted for. In the eighteen months since, a federal task force has located roughly 146,000.

— How successful have Democrat leaders been advancing the Democrat Party platform in your county, township, municipality, school district, and precinct. That is, how successful have they been advancing more dependency on government and charity, LGBTQ, abortion, mass/illegal immigration, vices, diminishment of Second Amendment rights, and Affirmative Action, DEI, and wokeness/wokeism, that is, advancing more race and gender based preference giving, patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, religious discrimination, and national origin discrimination? Democrat leaders in Illinois, DuPage County, Milton Township, Wheaton, and Wheaton Warrenville School District 200 are having ever-increasing success because RINO leaders ever-increasingly fail/refuse to defend or advance the Republican Party platform. The Democrat Party platform promotes poverty and crime. The Democrat Party platform drives out of Illinois, DuPage County, Milton Township, Wheaton, Wheaton Warrenville School District, and my precinct those who are conservative, Republican, White, male, older, heterosexual, non-poor, married, Protestant, German American, and/or have ancestors who have been in America for a long time.

— Political parties exist to help elect candidates who can and will defend and advance their platform. The Republican Party platform is conservative. Who are your peers? Who are your competitors? Who are your critics/opponents? Who has power over you? What are you doing to gain their acceptance? What will you NOT do to gain their acceptance? I have NOT and I will NOT deemphasize, downplay, or dump conservative principles or planks in the Republican Party platform. The aforesaid have always hinted/implied/argued/shouted that I should deemphasize, downplay, if not dump the personal responsibility, traditional marriage and family, right to life, immigration, anti-vice, Second Amendment, and/or equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) planks in the Republican Party platform. They want me be to be RINO/Democrat Lite like them. I have not and I will not do that. Consequently, they ever-increasingly work harder against me. So be it. – Dave Diersen

WALL STREET JOURNAL
— Trump Can Restore Standards to Federal Hiring. Restoring the civil-service exam would bring fairer selection and a more competent workforce. DD: I passed the Federal Service Entrance Examination (FSEE) when I was 21 in 1970. Democrats run the federal government. Almost all federal employees are Democrats. The more of the following that you are, the more that you NEED NOT APPLY for a federal job: conservative, Republican, White, male, older, non-veteran, non-poor, Protestant, German American, and/or have ancestors who have been in America for a long time. I am all of the aforesaid. The Democrats who ran GAO in 1980, IRS in 1971, and the Post Office in 1966 hired me because they could not find a qualified Democrat, minority, female, younger person, or veteran who would take the job. GAO would not have hired me if I had not passed the CPA examination on my first attempt and earned an MBA. IRS would not have hired me if I had not passed the FSEE and earned a bachelor’s degree in business. The Post Office would not have hired me if I had not passed the postal employment test and earned a high school diploma.
https://www.wsj.com/opinion/trump-can-restore-standards-to-federal-hiring-07b64da0
(FROM THE ARTICLE: These problems have a solution that worked from the 1883 passage of the Pendleton Civil Service Act until the advent of federal-hiring affirmative action in the 1960s. As of the late 1950s, the federal hiring process went like this: Applicants for entry-level positions received an admission card for the Federal Service Entrance Examination for a specific time, date and location. The examination assessed general knowledge, vocabulary, math, reasoning and specific job skills. Tests were administered in high-school auditoriums, armories, federal buildings or college lecture halls. They were proctored by Civil Service Commission employees. Applicants had to present their admission card and photo ID to enter the examination room, where talking and notes were prohibited. The test lasted up to four hours. Applicants with an honorable discharge from the armed forces got five extra points added to their raw score, or 10 points if they were disabled. Spouses and widows of veterans got 10 points. The Civil Service Commission maintained separate registers of applicants for a variety of job types and grade levels. Agencies looking for new employees requested candidates from the Civil Service Commission that matched the job category and grade level they were trying to fill. The commission sent them a “certificate of eligibles” applying the “Rule of Three” that had been in force since 1888. It limited the hiring official to a choice among the three highest-scoring candidates—the only truly effective way to limit the role of personal preferences in hiring decisions. If the federal government could administer proctored tests in the 1950s, it can do so now. If it could limit hiring officials’ discretion then, it can do so now. Bring back an updated version of the Federal Service Entrance Examination and apply the Rule of Three for all new hires. It won’t transform the civil service immediately, but it would dramatically improve the competence of new hires and the fairness of their selection.)

I would not have become an IRS employee in 1971 if my Firestone Store boss had not fired me because I had accepted a job offer from Oldsmobile, an offer that Oldsmobile withdrew saying it had just agreed to stop hiring Whites to settle an EEOC complaint.
