— My critics/opponents are anti-conservative. According to them, the Illinois Republican Party (IRP) platform ( https://illinois.gop/wp-content/uploads/sites/25/2025/07/2024-Platform-of-the-Illinois-Republican-Party.pdf ) is the problem. It is too conservative for them. Del Mar has called for a new IRP platform. If that goes forward, my anti-conservative critics/opponents will do everything that they can to strike the platform’s personal responsibility, traditional marriage and family, right to life, immigration, anti-vice, Second Amendment, equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving), and other planks. Of course, I will do everything that I can to stop that. I served on the IRP Platform and Resolutions Committee in 2008. My critics/opponents had their operatives and their dupes throw me off the IRP State Convention Platform and Resolutions Committee in 2024. Political parties exist to help elect candidates who can and will defend and advance their platform. The IRP platform is conservative. Illinois Democrat leaders promote the Illinois Democrat Party platform and its liberal principles far more aggressively than Illinois Republican leaders promote the IRP platform and its conservative principles. The problem is the failure/refusal of far too many Illinois Republican candidates, elected officials, and party leaders to promote, defend, and advance the IRP platform. Consequently, Illinois ever-increasingly moves further to the left and more and more and more Republican candidates are defeated. – Dave Diersen

CHRISTIAN POST
— The Left’s DEI revolution isn’t dead. It was waiting for its comeback. DD: Liberals and moderates will forever use DEI to get rid of conservatives. Democrats and RINOs will forever use DEI to get rid of Republicans. Because most liberals, moderates, Democrats, and RINOs are minority, female, younger, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or have ancestors who have not been in America for a long time, they use DEI to get rid of conservatives and Republicans like me who are White, male, older, Protestant, German American, and/or have ancestors who have not been in America for a long time.

— IIT directs business professors to incorporate DEI into courses. DD: IIT admitted me into its financial markets and trading graduate program when I was 43 in 1992. But because I am not Democrat, minority, female, younger, non-Protestant, non-German American and because I have ancestors who have been in America for a long time, I doubt that IIT would admit me today if I was 43.

WASHINGTON POST
— People who retire die. DD: I am not dead yet. I have been retired since I was 49 in 1997 when my Democrat GAO superiors forced me to retire and made it impossible for me to get a paid job appropriate for my work experience, education, professional certifications, and professional license. They rudely flushed down their toilets a) my almost 18 years of experience working for GAO, the last 11 years of which at the GS-13 Step 1-10 Levels, currently $118,984-$154,682/year, b) my almost 9 year experience working for IRS, the last 5 1/2 years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 Levels, currently $100,059-$113,402/year, c) my 1997 master’s degree in financial markets and trading from IIT, d) my 1980 master’s degree in accounting from DePaul, e) my 1976 MBA from Loyola, f) my becoming a Forensic Accountant in 1997, Certified Financial Services Auditor in 1996, Certified Government Financial Manager in 1994, and Certified Fraud Examiner in 1990, g) my passing the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt and becoming a licensed CPA in 1981, and h) my passing the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979. I be dead by now if I had not found reasons for living beyond my wife. Those reasons include my using my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters to promote conservative principles since 2000. I should write about that.

AXIOS
— A majority of Americans have low-quality jobs. DD: According to my critics/opponents, all the jobs that I took were bad jobs that they would never stoop to take. I did yard work 1962-1964, delivered newspapers 1962-1966, washed dishes 1964-1966, cleaned golf shoes, chipped slag, and pumped gasoline in 1966, delivered mail 1966-1969, worked on an automotive assemble line in 1970, sold tires, automotive services, and major appliances 1970-1971, pumped more gasoline 1971-1972, collected delinquent taxes 1971-1980, and audited federal agencies 1980-1997. Because the aforesaid jobs were so bad, my superiors had lots of problems finding qualified minorities, females, younger people, and veterans to meet their Affirmative Action quotas.
