In my defense, I paid 7% of my federal salary into the CSRS. In my defense, if my Democrat GAO superiors had not forced me to retire, I might still be working for GAO and paying into the CSRS. Constructively, so far, in today’s dollars, my Democrat GAO superiors have forced CSRS to pay me $1.85 million to stop me from working for GAO.

(FROM THE ARTICLE: According to data from the Social Security Administration, you need to make $794,129 annually to be in the top 1% of wage earners in the U.S. This is based on an analysis of the most recently available wage data. To break this down further, you’d need to earn about $66,178 per month, or about $15,272 per week, to be in the top 1% of income earners. . .Here’s how much you need to make to be in the top 5% and the top 10% in America: Top 5% income threshold: $352,773 Top 10% income threshold: $148,812 As you can see, earning just under $150,000 puts you in the top 10% of all wage earners in the U.S. This doesn’t put you in the elite class of top 1% earners, but you make more, on average, than 90% of American households.)

My father was only the first of my ancestors to earn a high school diploma. My mother never attended high school. I could not run because I had a bone disease. My eyesight could not be corrected to 20/20. I had partial red/green color blindness. I washed dishes during my junior and senior years and the summer in between. But nevertheless, I took college preparatory courses, got an ACT score of 24, graduated in the upper 20% of my class, and got accepted by UIC. That enabled me to earn a bachelor’s degree, three master’s degrees, six professional certifications, and a professional license.

https://www.chicagotribune.com/2025/06/12/dupage-naperville-republican-democrat-vote-mail/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: To date, significantly more Democratic primary voters are on the county’s permanent vote-by-mail list, DuPage County Chief Deputy Clerk Adam Johnson. As of Wednesday, there was a total of 98,413 voters on the county’s permanent vote-by-mail list, according to Johnson. That number divides into voters who have opted to receive mail-ballots for general elections only and those who have requested to also receive primary ballots, he said. The latter is how the county can glean the partisan divide in its vote-by-mail program as voters must request either a Democratic or Republican primary ballot. Current numbers show that 47,110 Democratic primary voters have signed up for the program compared to 19,525 Republican voters, Johnson said. Those totals have also grown since the 2022 primary election, which was the first in which the permanent vote-by-mail program was offered. In 2022, there were 20,482 Democratic primary voters compared to 8,009 Republican voters.)

My Democrat GAO superiors painted themselves as being grossly underpaid, had children, and decried the time and money needed to raise children. Their spouses had little or no income. According to them, if my wife and I had children, a) I would not have been able to pass the CPA examination on my first attempt, earn a master’s degree in accounting, pass the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt, or become a licensed CPA and b) my wife would not have been able to keep her good job or earn a bachelor’s degree in finance.

I was one of that last Republicans IRS hired in 1971 when I was 22. If I had been a Democrat, IRS would have promoted me into its Senior Executive Service before I was 40 notwithstanding my late start. I earned an MBA when I was 27. I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt when I was 30. I earned a master’s degree in accounting when I was 31. I passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt when I was 32. I became a licensed CPA when I was 32.

— Overpaid? Did you read Money Magazine ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Money_(financial_website) )? If you read its February 1978 4-page article on me ( https://gopillinois.com/documents/ ), you would have concluded that the magazine did not pick me for the article to give me financial advice, but a) to foist negative government employee stereotypes on me, b) to paint me as being grossly overpaid, and c) to get IRS to disallow my education deductions. The article caused me many big problems, not the least of which was IRS’s disallowing my education deductions. Ever since the article was published, my critics/opponents have demonized me, denigrated me, and condemned me as being grossly overpaid. In February of 1978, I had worked for IRS for almost 7 years. I had been promoted in 1972, 1973, and 1974. In today’s dollars, my salary was $108,978/year. I had earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976. I was taking graduate accounting courses at DePaul. I owned a one bedroom condo in the Outer Drive East building. I had rented out a town home in University Park since 1976 that I had bought new in 1972. I owned a 1972 Corvette that I bought new in 1971. My daily driver was a 1962 Chevrolet Bel Air.

I earned a high school diploma in 1966, a job-related bachelor’s degree in 1970, job-related master’s degrees in 1976, 1980, and 1997, job-related professional certifications in 1979, 1981, 1990, 1994, 1996, and 1997, and a job-related professional license in 1981. But I did much more than that to get and keep jobs. I took jobs that my peers considered to be bad jobs that they would never stoop to take. I 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 gasoline 1971-1972, collected delinquent taxes 1971-1980, and audited federal agencies 1980-1997.

SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE
— Bill would allow slavery legacy to be factor in college admissions. According to Democrat leaders, if you are White Republican, the longer that your ancestors have been in America, the more that you have benefitted from slavery, and therefore, the more reparations that you should pay. All my ancestors immigrated during the 1840s and 1850s. In my defense, they always lived in northeast Illinois and they were always Republicans. They never were in a position to discriminate against anyone and they never did. Those whose ancestors were Democrats have benefitted most from slavery, and therefore, they should pay the most reparations.

— According to Trump’s critics/opponents, Trump is motivated by revenge. GAO audits IRS. According to my critics/opponents, revenge motivated me to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980 and to ask to be assigned to audits of IRS. They stressed the adverse actions that IRS had taken against me including disallowing my travel vouchers in 1974, disallowing my education expenses in 1978, and never promoting me beyond GS-12. In my defense, I stressed that the many codes of conduct that I was under prohibited that. I became a CPA in 1979, Certified Internal Auditor in 1981, licensed CPA in 1981, and a Certified Fraud Examiner in 1990, Government Financial Manager in 1994, Financial Services Auditor in 1996, and Forensic Accountant in 1997. Their revenge argument was a pretext. The real reason was that the Democrats who run IRS and GAO do not want Republicans to audit IRS. – Dave Diersen

The article caused me many big problems, not the least of which was IRS’s disallowing my education deductions. Ever since the article was published, my critics/opponents have demonized me, denigrated me, and condemned me as being grossly overpaid. I had worked for IRS for almost 7 years. I had been promoted in 1972, 1973, and 1974. In today’s dollars, my salary was $108,978/year. I had earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976. I was taking graduate accounting courses at DePaul. I owned a one bedroom condo in the Outer Drive East building. I rented out a town home in University Park since 1976 that I had bought new in 1972. I owned a 1972 Corvette that I bought new in 1971.

DAILY BEAST
— According to Trump’s critics/opponents, Trump is motivated by revenge. GAO audits IRS. According to my critics/opponents, revenge motivated me to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980 and to ask to be assigned to audits of IRS. They stressed the adverse actions that IRS had taken against me including disallowing my travel vouchers in 1974, disallowing my education expenses in 1978, and never promoting me beyond GS-12. In my defense, I stressed that the many codes of conduct that I was under prohibited that. I became a CPA in 1979, Certified Internal Auditor in 1981, licensed CPA in 1981, and a Certified Fraud Examiner in 1990, Government Financial Manager in 1994, Financial Services Auditor in 1996, and Forensic Accountant in 1997. Their revenge argument was a pretext. The real reason was that the Democrats who run IRS and GAO do not want Republicans to audit IRS.

To get rid of me, my Democrat GAO superiors a) forced me to take a $23,472 (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS in 1980, b) kept me off audits of IRS for all but 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for GAO, c) delayed my promotions and never promoted me beyond GS-13, d) always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance, and e) forced me to retire when I was 49 in 1997. In my defense, the codes of ethics that I have been under since 1979 prohibit me from holding grudges. I became a CPA in 1979 and a licensed CPA in 1981. I became a Certified Internal Auditor in 1981, Fraud Examiner in 1990, Government Financial Manager in 1994, Financial Services Auditor in 1996, and Forensic Accountant in 1997.

— As Musk exits with a whimper, Trump makes mockery of fighting government waste. GAO is supposed to fight government waste, but the Democrats who ran GAO 1980-1997 wasted me and my career big time. GAO audits IRS. 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. They succeeded in keeping me off audits of IRS for all but 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for GAO. They also wasted what I had learned a) earning master’s degrees in business, accounting, and finance and b) passing the CPA and Certified Internal Auditor examinations on my first attempt. They would not have done that if I had been a Democrat, minority, female, younger, and/or veteran. I should write about that.

USA TODAY
— Should you tell your employer you’re looking for a new job? My Firestone Store boss would never have hired me when I was 21 years old in 1970. I was hired by Firestone’s district office and assigned to his store. He owned the building in Chicago Heights that the store was in. He forced me to pass a 2-week probationary period in the Firestone Store in Gary, Indiana. He disapproved of my being a draft avoider, Republican, college graduate, part-time MBA student at UIC, Protestant, German American, my ancestors having been in America since 1844, and I had been a Crete resident since 1948. He was a veteran and he blamed Republicans for America losing the Vietnam War. My on-the-job training included lots of pumping gasoline, mounting and balancing tires, changing oil and filters, changing batteries, and delivering major appliances. I made the best of it, but I did accept a job offer from Oldsmobile in early 1971. He immediately rudely fired me when I told him that I had accepted that offer after he had directed me while the store was open to use a ladder, bucket, water, and SOS pads to clean the whitewalls on moldy tires that had been hanging on store’s showroom walls for many years.

GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— Republican leaders should reform federal agencies rather than gut them. Virtually all federal employees are Democrats. Democrat politicians force them to push the Democrat Party platform, that is, to push dependency on government and charity, LGBTQ, abortion, mass/illegal immigration, booze, gambling, pot, and other vices, diminishment of Second Amendment rights, and Affirmative Action (AA) and DEI, that is, race and gender based preference giving, patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, religious discrimination, and national origin discrimination. About 1/3 of Americans are Republicans and about 1/3 are Democrats. The federal workforce should look like America. I was one of the last Republicans GAO hired. The Democrats who ran GAO in 1980, IRS in 1971, and the Post Office in 1966, hired me because they could not find a Democrat, minority, female, younger person, or veteran who would take the job. They gambled and lost that I would become a Democrat. In the U.S. Congress, committee membership is determined by a combination of factors, including party affiliation. Federal agencies should be like congressional committees. For example, about 1/3 of their employees at each grade level should be Republicans and about 1/3 should be Democrats. Further, all hiring, retention, and promotion decisions should be based on merit, that is, AA and DEI should be abolished. If that had been the case when I transferred from IRS to GAO when I was 31 in 1980, I might still be a GAO employee. GAO would have promoted me into its Senior Executive Service, currently $195,200/year. I earned a) job-related master’s degrees when I was 27, 31, and 48, b) job-related professional certifications when I was 30, 32, 41, 45, 47, and 48, and c) a job-related professional license when I was 32. None of my GAO coworkers came close to doing that. – Dave Diersen

— What is your position on preference giving? Chicago Black pastors could stress that Chicago Republican leaders did not come to my defense when my Chicago Democrat GAO superiors replaced me with my Black subordinate. Chicago Black pasters could use that to argue that both Democrats and Republicans want Blacks to get more preference over non-Blacks. – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com
— How rich are you? My critics/opponents have always demonized me, denigrated me, and condemned me as being grossly overpaid, and therefore rich. They stress that in today’s dollars, I earned a) $19.37/hour in when I was 16, b) $55,850/year when I was 22, c) $68,315/year when I was 23, d) $82,655/year when I was 24, e) $99,069/year when I was 25, f) $112,280/year when was 31, g) $117,807/year when I was 38, and h) $153,151/year when I was 49. In today’s dollars, since I was 49 in 1997, my Civil Service Retirement System pension has been $66,780/year. In my defense, I earned a) a job-related bachelor’s degree when I was 21, b) job-related master’s degrees when I was 27, 31, and 48, c) job-related professional certifications when I was 30, 32, 41, 45, 47, and 48, and d) a job-related professional license when I was 32. – Dave Diersen

— Was your career wasted? I worked for the Democrats who ran GAO for almost 18 years 1980-1997. GAO works for Congress. Gingrich has always been extremely critical of GAO. If Gingrich had reformed GAO instead of gutting GAO, I might still be working for GAO. GAO audits IRS. I transferred from IRS to GAO when I was 31 in 1980. 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. Instead of forcing me to take a $23,472 (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer, GAO should have promoted me to GS-13, currently $117,807/year. GAO should have immediately and always assigned me to audits of IRS. If GAO had done that, I would have soon been promoted to GS-14, currently $139,211/year, GS-15, currently $163,749/year, and Senior Executive Service, currently $195,200/year. I earned master’s degrees in business in 1976, accounting in 1980, and finance in 1997. I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979 and the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981. I became a licensed CPA in 1981. I became a Certified Fraud Examiner in 1990, Government Financial Manager in 1994, Financial Services Auditor in 1996, and Forensic Accountant in 1997. But the Democrats who ran GAO wasted all that. They delayed my promotions and never promoted me beyond GS-13. They succeeded in keeping me off audits of IRS for all but 3 years 1986-1988. They always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance. They forced me to retire when I was 49 in 1997. Democrat leaders do not want Republicans to audit IRS. If I had been a Democrat, minority, female, younger, and/or veteran, my Democrat GAO superiors would not have taken the aforesaid adverse actions against me that they did. – Dave Diersen

— GAO has long done DOGE-like work. I should write a book about GAO. I worked for the Democrats who ran GAO for almost 18 years, the last 11 years of which at the GS-13 Step 1-5 Levels, currently $117,807-153,151/year. Instead of reforming GAO, Gingrich gutted GAO. Because of that, and because I was one of their very few Republican employees, they wasted my career and forced me to retire when I was 49 years old. They flushed down their toilets a) my three job-related master’s degrees, b) my six job-related professional certifications, and c) my job-related professional license. I should write a book about GAO. Further, I should write a book about Gingrich’s success in gutting GAO while I worked for the agency 1980-1997. If Gingrich had reformed GAO instead of gutting it, there would be no need for DOGE.
https://www.nprillinois.org/2025-05-21/gao-has-long-done-doge-like-work
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The Trump administration’s Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE, has attempted to embed itself in another agency. This time, it’s the Government Accountability Office. The office has refused, but as NPR’s Chris Arnold reports, many experts say, rather than try to elbow its way in the door, DOGE should have been asking GAO for help all along. CHRIS ARNOLD, BYLINE: For months, DOGE has been strong-arming its way into government agencies, gaining access to sensitive data and helping to fire workers. Doing that at the Government Accountability Office, that would be way over the line, says David Walker. He used to run the GAO. DAVID WALKER: The DOGE team needs to read the Constitution again. There are three separate and equal branches of government. ARNOLD: GAO operates under the legislative branch – in other words, Congress – not the White House. WALKER: DOGE has zero authority to review GAO’s operations. ARNOLD: Walker’s been nominated to positions by both Republican and Democratic presidents, and he says GAO and DOGE supposedly have a very similar mission – to root out waste, fraud and abuse, except, he says, that GAO has been doing that for decades, has a staff of several thousand people and it’s really good at it. WALKER: GAO’s like a longstanding professional football team, and DOGE has some very bright people, but it’s more like a much smaller pickup football team from MIT. It’s like intramurals, OK? ARNOLD: Over the past 15 years, GAO says its recommendations have resulted in $725 billion in savings and revenue increases. It just came up with an updated list of proposals. It says that could save another hundred billion or more. Just one example – it’s been studying a space-based laser communication system that the Defense Department’s designing. GAO says it’s found a tweak to the program that could save hundreds of millions of dollars. The White House didn’t respond to NPR’s request for comment but has defended DOGE for finding waste, fraud and abuse. And the current head of the GAO recently said that DOGE lately has been engaging more with GAO about some of its recommendations. Still, David Walker says poor planning and inadequate coordination with Congress have hamstrung DOGE. WALKER: DOGE way overpromised on savings, originally promising 2 trillion. They now claim that they’ve saved about 170 billion. But in reality, I think the real savings is maybe one-tenth to one-fifth of what they claim because only Congress can cut spending. ARNOLD: Walker says, so far, DOGE has mostly been targeting programs that the Trump administration just doesn’t like and indiscriminately firing people. Linda Bilmes is a government efficiency expert at the Harvard Kennedy School. She says that DOGE could have learned a lot from GAO. LINDA BILMES: One of the real tragedies of the whole DOGE effort is that they just ignored this kind of expertise and they didn’t tap into the knowledge base of the people already working in government. ARNOLD: She says the chance to work alongside Elon Musk to help reform government lured in a lot of very talented young people. Some of them were students of hers at Harvard. BILMES: I know firsthand some of the individuals who work for Elon Musk, but they were not leveraged in terms of their own talents. They were put in charge of a website that they had no idea what it was and asked to fire people, and they really were put into positions in which they were entirely unsuited for. ARNOLD: Meanwhile, as far as DOGE trying to embed itself in GAO, there’s another thorny issue there. GAO currently has dozens of investigations underway into whether the Trump administration improperly froze funding that was already allocated by Congress. David Walker again. WALKER: There clearly is a conflict of interest there. DOGE shouldn’t be anywhere close to looking at what GAO’s doing in connection with those activities. ARNOLD: The current head of GAO recently told Congress that the Trump administration was not immediately responsive to its investigations.)
ILLINOIS TIMES
— Charting her course as a “Big Tent” Republican. Pamela “Denise” Long seeks 2026 Republican nomination for U.S. Senate
https://www.illinoistimes.com/news-opinion/charting-her-course-as-a-big-tent-republican-20196900
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A little-known candidate seeking the Republican nomination for Richard Durbin’s U.S. Senate seat says the GOP needs to adopt a “big tent” mentality that encourages bipartisan cooperation and prioritizes substantive solutions over partisan rhetoric. Pamela “Denise” Long, 52, a longtime contributor to Newsweek and Real Clear Politics, is leveraging her experience as a journalist, political analyst and adjunct professor at Southern Illinois University Edwardsville to carve out a space in the crowded field to replace Durbin. Durbin, 80, a Springfield Democrat, is retiring from Congress after five terms in the Senate and seven in the House. Long says she built her experience by dissecting complex policy issues in a bipartisan manner, particularly those affecting Black voters, immigration, economic mobility and environmental protections. She has challenged both major parties to reconsider their outreach strategies. On her side, she’s ascribing to so-called Big Tent Republicanism, which says that certain conservative positions, such as abortion bans or transgender issues, while important to Republicans, push away moderates and liberals open to cooperation on issues that affect nearly every resident, such as property taxes, gerrymandering and budgeting. Long said she wants her candidacy to reflect a focus on those widespread national issues while offering bipartisan criticism and praise when it is called for. “For me, I champion President Donald Trump when he takes actions that align with the principles of conservatism and constitutionality,” she said. “When he deviates from that, as with (former President Joe) Biden and any other candidate, I call those things out. So, I’m not partisan in that way. My focus is on the best interest of the nation.” Long said one example bringing conservative and liberal issues together is her support for increasing environmental protection in the U.S., but implementing it in issues that bring attention to conservative interests. “Being able to take something like environmental policy and be able to apply it to these modern-day issues like immigration is one method to increase environmental protections without incurring too much animosity from any one side,” Long said. Long said she wants to see more investment in urban infrastructure that has been abandoned, rather than support Trump’s plans to allow development and commercial usage of federally protected lands, including national parks. “One thing which unnerves me is how much of our urban infrastructure has degraded and has just been left rotting in many cities, and I would like to see more development,” said Long. “Development of the dilapidated infrastructure that already exists rather than developing our national parks and green space, I think that could bring more jobs to urban residents.” As a Black woman, Long sees the persistent issues facing African American communities and agrees with the conservative sentiment against handouts or excessive support. But she argues that giving job opportunities, career advancements and a general ability to move out of poverty is a large part of that attitude as well. “I think it is important for Black Americans to hear that our federal government is looking for ways to pull them into the workforce,” said Long. “It’s not handholding as much as it is recruitment and making sure that folks realize that they’re pointing to avenues leading to jobs. We must look at recruitment, retention, development and promotion. At what point do we start thinking about the current and potential future state of our economy and what it’s going to look like? Do we somehow work to offer apprenticeships to students in middle school, shadowing perhaps in high school?” Long says her time as an occupational therapist has shifted her view of prisoners and felons to be viewed as people first, criminals second. She supports the idea of low-level and nonviolent criminals having the ability to either work off their crimes or build themselves up in prison to better support their rehabilitation outside of confinement. While she did clarify violent criminals and felons like murderers and rapists require more nuance based on the case, the goal is to produce a rehabilitated member of society. Helping former convicts get their lives together after their due punishment is the way to do that. “Sequestering a human being from society is a solid punishment by itself; you shouldn’t have to be faced with rape, beatings or dehumanizing treatment,” said Long. “You should be sequestered, rehabilitated, strengthened and developed so that you can be moved forward into society and hit the ground running to be productive. I also think that they should maintain their right to vote. They need to be engaged with the society that they’re going to be coming back into. People who are engaged with society and see a path forward and find a vision for themselves, sometimes for the first time, are less likely to offend.”)

— Here come more pension sweeteners…(aka tax hikes) My critics/opponent have always demonized, denigrated, and condemned my Civil Service Retirement System (CSRS) pension as being too generous. They are furious that I earned full-time CSRS credit while I worked only part-time for the Park Forest Post Office 1966-1969. They are furious that I got CSRS credit for my more than a year of unused sick leave. In today’s dollars, my CSRS pension is only 44% of what my salary was in 1997 and less than what my salary was in 1972

— What differentiated you from your coworkers? I took undergraduate business courses while I worked for the Democrats who ran the Park Forest Post Office 1966-1969. I earned a bachelor’s degree in management from NIU in 1970. I took a graduate evening business course while I worked for the Democrats who ran Firestone Stores in 1971. I took graduate evening business courses while I worked for the Democrats who ran IRS 1972-1976. I earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976. I took graduate evening accounting courses while I worked for the Democrats who ran IRS 1976-1980 and GAO in 1980. I earned a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980. I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979. I passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981. I became a licensed CPA in 1981. I became a Certified Fraud Examiner in 1990, Government Financial Manager in 1994, Financial Services Auditor in 1996, and Forensic Accountant in 1997. I took graduate finance courses while I worked for the Democrats who ran GAO 1992-1997. I earned a master’s degree in finance from IIT in 1997. None of my coworkers came close to doing what I did. Of course, my critics/opponents use what I did against me. They hint/imply/argue/shout that because I did the aforesaid and nevertheless my Post Office, Firestone Store, IRS, and GAO superiors wasted my career, took many adverse actions against me, and forced me to retire in 1997, I must have been an extremely bad person. They ignore/dismiss/belittle the fact a) that I have always been a conservative Republican, b) that all my superiors were Democrats, c) that they never would have taken the adverse actions against me that they did if I had been a Democrat, minority, female, younger, or veteran, d) that I ever-increasingly complained about their political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination, and e) that I became an active member in a class action lawsuit that charged them with reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation in 1988. I should write about the aforesaid. – Dave Diersen

GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— How have Democrat hiring practices impacted you? The Democrats who ran GAO in 1980, IRS in 1971, Firestone Stores in 1970, 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. They gambled and lost that I would become a Democrat. After I graduated from NIU when I was 21 years old in 1970, I accepted the only job offer that I got. It was from Firestone Stores. But that job did not really require a college degree. My Firestone Store boss rudely fired me in 1971 because I told him that I had accepted a job offer from Oldsmobile. He would not have done that if I had been a Democrat, minority, female, and/or veteran. But Oldsmobile withdrew that job offer saying that it had just agreed to stop hiring Whites to settle an EEOC complaint. All during my entire life, employers that might have hired me were under ever-increasing pressure from Democrat leaders to hire Democrats who are minority, female, younger, veteran, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or have ancestors who have not been in America for a long time. That ever-increasingly rendered worthless a) my 1970 (management) bachelor’s degree, b) my 1976 (business), 1980 (accounting), and 1997 (finance) master’s degrees, c) my 1979 (accounting), 1981 (internal auditing), 1990 (fraud examination), 1994 (government financial management), 1996 (financial services auditing), and 1997 (forensic accounting) professional certifications, and d) my 1981 professional license (CPA). Because I complained about the aforesaid, a) my Democrat Post Office superiors disallowed my sick leave requests in 1968 and 1969 and forced me to resign in 1969, b) my Democrat IRS superiors disallowed my travel vouchers in 1974 and my education deductions in 1978 and never promoted me beyond GS-12, and c) my Democrat GAO superiors forced me to take a $23,472/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS, delayed my promotions and never promoted me beyond GS-13, kept me off audits of IRS for all but 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for GAO, always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes, and forced me to retire in 1997. My RINO critics/opponents have no problem with what my Democrat superiors did to me. Actually, they applaud it. I should write about that. – Dave Diersen

— What makes candidates for government and political offices competitive? It includes having relevant work experience, education, professional certifications, professional licenses, etc. Since 1999, RINO leaders of the Milton Township Republican Organization, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Illinois Republican Party have always ignored/dismissed/belittled/badmouthed a) the almost 18 years of experience that I gained working for GAO, the last 11 years of which at the GS-13 Step 1-10 Levels, currently $117,807-$153,151/year, b) the almost 9 years of experience that I gained working for IRS, the last 5 1/2 years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 Levels, currently $99,069-$112,280/year, c) my bachelor’s degree in management, d) my master’s degrees in business, accounting, and finance, e) my professional certifications in accounting, internal auditing, fraud examination, government financial management, financial services auditing, and forensic accounting, and f) my CPA license. I should write about that. – Dave Diersen

— Did you avoid the Vietnam War draft? Since I was 18 years old in 1966, my critics/opponents have hinted/implied/argued/shouted that I have had tremendous grossly unfair advantages in life because I avoided the Vietnam War draft. They stress that if I had not avoided the draft, I would not have been able to a) buy new cars when I was 19, 20, 23, 25, 29, etc. b) buy real estate when I was 24, 25, 27, 29, and 35, c) earn a bachelor’s degree when I was 21 and master’s degrees when I was 27 and 31, d) earn professional certifications when I was 30 and 32, or e) earn a professional license when I was 32. I should write about that. – Dave Diersen

— The overall cost of raising a child is now nearly $300,000. I should write about how my Democrat GAO superiors punished me for my wife and I giving up trying to have children without trying IVF. In 1989, they stressed that our health insurance covered IVF, threw me off audits of IRS, gave me a very bad job assignment, gave me very unfair performance expectations, gave me a very bad performance appraisal, and ranked me at the bottom of my coworkers for pay-for-performance. According to them, if we had children, I would never had been able to a) pass the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, b) earn a master’s degree in accounting in 1980, c) pass the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981, d) become a licensed CPA in 1981, e) earn four more job-related professional certifications in 1990, 1994, 1996, and 1997, and f) earn a master’s degree in finance in 1997. Further, according to them, my wife would never had been able to keep her good job or earn a bachelor’s degree in finance in 1986. My Democrat GAO superiors a) had spouses who had little or no income and b) decried the time and money needed to raise children. I should write about that. – Dave Diersen

The more that you to defend/promote Trump, the more that hate-filled Trump-hating Trump-haters do to get rid of you. The more demographics that you share with trump, especially his political affiliation, draft status, religion, and national origin, the more that hate-filled Trump-hating Trump-haters do to get rid of you. I share many demographics with Trump. I should write about adverse actions that hate-filled Trump-hating Trump-haters have taken against me since 2015. Since 2015, to punish me, they have had their operatives and dupes a) gerrymander my precinct in 2015, b) end my service as the Republican fundraiser for Wheaton Independence Day parades and fireworks in 2021, c) almost stop me from attending the DeSantis event in Elmhurst in 2023, and d) end my membership on the Illinois Republican Party State Convention Platform and Resolutions Committee in 2024. They stress that even though I have been a member of the Milton Township Republican Organization since 1999, the organization a) has never asked me to serve as one of its officers, b) rudely fired me as its webmaster in 2004 and 2010, and c) rudely defeated my bid to serve as its treasurer in 2004.

— What did your superiors require you to do? Virtually all my subordinates who my Democrat GAO superiors assigned me to supervise 1980-1997 were Democrats who were minority, female, younger, veteran, and/or disabled. They did everything that they could to turn them against me. They required me to give them preference big time. I did that. But that was not enough. They delayed my promotions and never promoted me beyond GS-13. They kept me off audits of IRS for all but 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for GAO. 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 in 1997. I should write about that. – Dave Diersen

— Will Anyone Take the Factory Jobs That Trump Wants to Bring Back to America? The president has pledged to bring more factory work back to U.S., but many manufacturing jobs are already going unfilled. According to my critics/opponents, all the jobs that I had were bad jobs that they would never stoop to take. Those jobs included two factory jobs: chipping slag and working on an automotive assembly line.

INC.
— Virtually all my subordinates who my Democrat GAO superiors assigned me to supervise 1980-1997 were Democrats who were minority, female, younger, veteran, and/or disabled. They did everything that they could to turn them against me. They required me to give them preference big time. I did that. But that was not enough. They delayed my promotions and never promoted me beyond GS-13. They kept me off audits of IRS for all but 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for GAO. 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 in 1997.

FAST COMPANY
— The overall cost of raising a child is now nearly $300,000. I should write about how my Democrat GAO superiors punished me for my wife and I giving up trying to have children without trying IVF. In 1989, they stressed that our health insurance covered IVF, threw me off audits of IRS, gave me a very bad job assignment, gave me very unfair performance expectations, gave me a very bad performance appraisal, and ranked me at the bottom of my coworkers for pay-for-performance. According to them, if we had children, I would never had been able to a) pass the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, b) earn a master’s degree in accounting in 1980, c) pass the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981, d) become a licensed CPA in 1981, e) earn four more job-related professional certifications in 1990, 1994, 1996, and 1997, and f) earn a master’s degree in finance in 1997. Further, according to them, my wife would never had been able to keep her good job or earn a bachelor’s degree in finance in 1986. My Democrat GAO superiors a) had spouses who had little or no income and b) decried the time and money needed to raise children.

— ‘Could he be more racist?’ Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson slammed for ‘only hiring black people’ comment in viral speech. My critics/opponents have always given preference to those who are minority, female, younger, veteran, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or have ancestors who have not been in America for a long time, that is, they have always discriminated against those who are White, male, older, non-veteran, Protestant, German American, and/or have ancestors who have been in America for a long time.
