— What do your critics/opponents attribute their successes to? My critics/opponents attribute their successes to meritocracy. But they attribute my successes to my benefitting from discrimination against those who share their demographics. My critics/opponents are liberal/moderate, minority, female, younger, veteran, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or have ancestors who have not been in America for a long time. In my defense, my parents never attended college. My father was only the first of my ancestors to earn a high school diploma. My mother never attended high school. I had to work my way through college. I should write about my critics/opponents. I would focus on those whose parents were wealthy, who bought them cars, who paid for their college education, who got them jobs, etc.  I would focus on those who have lots of religious, government, political, and/or financial clout in Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois.

https://www.aol.com/melania-trump-reveals-barron-trumps-120119348.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Melania Trump said her son Barron Trump is living at home while he attends New York University. “I could not say I’m an empty nester. I don’t feel that way,” the former first lady told Fox & Friends’ Ainsley Earhardt in an interview that aired Thursday. “It was his decision to come here, that he wants to be in New York and study in New York and live in his home, and I respect that.” That would presumably mean that the new college man is living at the family’s longtime Trump Tower residence on Fifth Avenue and commuting a few miles south to the Greenwich Village campus. Barron Trump is former President Donald Trump’s youngest son and his only child with Melania Trump. He graduated from Oxbridge Academy in West Palm Beach, Florida, in May and began classes at NYU’s Stern School of Business in early September.)

WASHINGTON POST
— Trump’s threat of towering tariffs on European booze is sobering. Wine and spirits can be markers of national and regional identity — which could make a coming trade fight between the U.S. and Europe much more emotional. The Democrat GAO Chicago office manager who led the Democrat effort to waste my career and to get rid of me was an extremely big drinker. If he had not had to go on extended sick leave in 1985 because of his big drinking, the GAO manager who arranged for my transfer from IRS in 1980 would not have been able to assign me to audits of IRS in 1986 or to promote me in 1986.

They would not have done that if I had been a Democrat, minority, female, and/or veteran. They especially targeted me because I complained about their political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination (up-or-out), religious discrimination, and national origin discrimination. They even more especially targeted me after 1988 when I became an active member in a class action lawsuit that charged them with reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation.

If Gingrich had formed a team to reform GAO, I would have volunteered to be a member of that team. I would have stressed a) that I had worked for GAO since 1980 and the last 11 years of which at the GS-13 Step 1-10 Levels, currently $117,807-$153,151/year, b) that I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, c) that I passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt and became a licensed CPA in1981, d) that I became a Certified Fraud Examiner in 1990, Government Financial Manager in 1994, Financial Services Auditor in 1996, and Forensic Accountant in 1997, and e) that I earned an MBA in 1976, a master’s degree in accounting in 1980, and a master’s degree in finance in 1997.

According to my critics/opponents, the jobs that I got in 1964 (washing dishes), 1966 (cleaning golf shoes, chipping slag, and pumping gasoline), 1970 (working on an automobile assembly line and selling tires, automotive services, and major appliances), 1971 (pumping gasoline and collecting delinquent taxes), and 1980 (auditing federal agencies) and the promotions that I got in 1972, 1973, 1974, and 1986 should have been given to Blacks. They were overjoyed when my Democrat GAO superiors forced me to retire when I was 49 years in 1997 and gave my job and my preferred corner office to my Black subordinate. He had less work experience than I had. He had less education than I had. He had one professional certification while I had six. He had no professional license like the one I had.

— After-school programs in Springfield impacting nearly 850 students could be eliminated. What did you do after-school? During my junior and senior years at Crete-Monee High School 1964-1966, and the summer in between, I washed dishes for the minimum wage in the basement of the S.S. Kresge in Chicago Heights. With the money that earned and saved doing that, I bought a new 1966 Pontiac Tempest Sprint in May of 1966 that I used to commute to/from my parents’ home in Crete and classes at UIC 1966-1967 and jobs cleaning golf shoes in Flossmoor, chipping slag, and pumping gasoline in South Chicago Heights during the summer of 1966, and delivering mail in Park Forest 1966-1967. I sold it late in 1967 and bought a new 1968 Oldsmobile 442.

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Musk, the world’s richest man who is also overseeing a mass restructuring of the federal government, isn’t referring to the Fed’s $6.8 trillion balance sheet. The Fed’s finances and operations are already audited extensively by the Government Accountability Office (GAO) and an independent accounting firm. Musk is talking about the Fed’s monetary policy decisions.)

That’s Congress’ job,” Glover said.

FROM ILLINOIS CENTER-RIGHT SOURCES

GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— What are the biggest differences between the Democrat and Republican Parties? The Democrat Party requires its leaders to defend and advance all the planks its platform. The Republican Party not only does not do that, it lets it leaders who reject planks in the Republican Party platform destroy those Republicans who support those planks. The more planks in the Republican Party platform that you reject, the more of a RINO that you are. I should write about those RINO leaders of the following who reject the most planks: Milton Township Republican Organization, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Illinois Republican Party (IRP). Most commonly, they reject the personal responsibility, traditional marriage and family, right to life, immigration, illegal drugs, Second Amendment, and equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) planks. I would focus on those RINO leaders who have had their operatives and dupes take the most/biggest adverse actions against me lately including a) ending my membership in the IRP State Convention Platform and Resolutions Committee last year and b) ending my service as the Republican fundraiser for Wheaton Independence Day parades and fireworks in 2021. – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com
— Political parties exist to help elect candidates who can and will defend and advance their platform. Which planks in the Republican Party platform do you support? Ever-increasingly, the more planks in the Republican Party platform that you support, the more that Democrats and RINOs do to destroy you. I support all the planks in the Republican Party platform, including its personal responsibility, traditional marriage and family, right to life, immigration, illegal drugs, Second Amendment, and equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) planks. RINOs reject some, many, most, virtually all, if not all the planks in the Republican Party platform. Because I support the aforesaid planks, the following have taken many big adverse actions against me since 2000: past and present a) RINO leaders of the Milton Township Republican Organization, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Illinois Republican Party (IRP), b) RINO leaders of Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois, and c) RINO conservative and religious leaders and activists. I should write about the aforesaid RINOs. I would focus on the aforesaid RINOs who had their operatives and dupes a) end my membership in the IRP State Convention Platform and Resolutions Committee last year and b) end my service as the Republican fundraiser for Wheaton Independence Day parades and fireworks in 2021. – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com
— Republicans should be advised that Democrat and RINO employers use up-or-out to not hire Republicans and to get rid of their Republicans employees. The Democrats who run the federal government use use-or-out to get rid of their Republican employees who they did not promote to GS-13 ($117,807/year) by age 25, GS-14 ($139,211/year) by age 30, GS-15 ($163,749/year) by age 35, and Senior Executive Service ($195,200/year) by age 40. Extremely few federal employees make the aforesaid promotion deadlines. My Democrat superiors in the federal government never promoted me beyond GS-13 and did not promote me to GS-13 until I was 38. They would never have promoted me to GS-13 if I had not a) earned job-related master’s degrees when I was 27 and 31, b) earned job-related professional licenses when I was 30 and 32, and c) earned a job-related professional license when I was 32. – Dave Diersen

— QUESTION: What encourages people to come to America? ANSWER: Democrat and RINO leaders ever-increasingly give more preference to citizens of foreign countries a) who are minority, female, younger, b) who lack education and/or job skills, and/or c) who want/need/demand massive government assistance. Democrat leaders want the aforesaid because they vote for Democrats. RINO leaders want the aforesaid because RINOs want cheap labor. – Dave Diersen

NATIONAL LAW REVIEW
— Political Affiliation Discrimination: Know Your Rights  Anticipate/expect that Democrat and RINO employers will ever-increasingly a) not hire Republicans and b) get rid of their Republican employees. Democrat employers hire Democrats. RINO employers hire RINOs. The federal government is a Democrat employer.
https://natlawreview.com/article/political-affiliation-discrimination-know-your-rights
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The increased interest in this topic comes amid a highly charged political environment and the decision by the Trump Administration to terminate the employment of civil service employees across a wide array of government agencies. Additionally, many employees are unclear about their rights and obligations as their employers are retreating from commitments to corporate diversity, equity, and inclusion programs in response to the Administration’s aggressive efforts to eradicate DEI initiatives. These actions have left many employees in a state of confusion regarding their rights around these issues. Legal protections for discrimination based on political affiliation vary widely based on state law. Below is a broad overview of employment protections across the United States, but as these can vary even by local jurisdiction, contacting an employment attorney with specific questions about your legal protections may be the best course of action. . .There are currently no federal protections for private sector employees from workplace discrimination based solely on political affiliation. If you are a federal employee and you believe that you have been discriminated against because of your political affiliation, you may be entitled to some protections under the Civil Service Reform Act of 1978 (CRSA). Learn more on KBK’s political affiliation discrimination practice as it relates to federal workers here.

— Why Many Americans Are On Board With Federal Worker Firings. Some envision bloat and cushy jobs. ‘Let ’em go; get rid of them.’ Who do you know who is/was a federal employee? I was a federal employee for almost 30 years. Who do you know who is/was a federal retiree? I have been a federal retiree for more than 27 years. I should write about my critics/opponents who say that they are religious, conservative, and/or Republican and who despise/hate federal employees and federal retirees the most. I would focus on those who have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me. I would not have become a postal employee in 1966 if my high school friend had not asked me to join him in taking the postal employment examination. I would not have become an IRS employee in 1971 if Oldsmobile had not withdrawn a job offer that I had accepted saying that it had just agreed to stop hiring Whites to settle an EEOC complaint.

LINKEDIN
— Overcoming Ageism at Any Career Stage. Democrat and RINO employers use up-or-out, that is, age discrimination, to waste the careers of their Republican employees and to get rid of them. To fight that, a) I earned an MBA when I was 27, a master’s degree in accounting when I was 31, and a master’s degree in finance when I was 48, b) I passed the CPA and Certified Internal Auditor examinations on my first attempt when I was 30 and 32, c) I became a licensed CPA when I was 32, and d) I earned additional job-related professional licenses when I was 41, 45, 47, and 48. The Democrats who run the federal government use up-or-out to get rid of their Republican employees who they do not promote to GS-13 ($117,807/year) by age 25, GS-14 ($139,211/year) by age 30, GS-15 ($163,749/year) by age 35, and Senior Executive Service ($195,200/year) by age 40.

(FROM THE ARTICLE: “I mean, here’s Elon Musk, working for literally nothing, giving up literally billions of dollars for his activism and his patriotism, and all he is doing is saving our country,” said Mark Rice, a Republican who ran in the 2024 election to represent Illinois’ 8th Congressional District. . .Calls for protests and boycotts of Tesla have revved up across the country with reports of vandalism against Tesla vehicles and dealerships. . .The DuPage County GOP chairman released a statement on the protest, saying, “It is ridiculous that the DuPage Democrats are harassing and intimidating a local business that has contributed significantly to the Village of Lisle’s economy. This is why the Democratic Party has the lowest approval ratings that it has had since there has been polling. We are not long removed from violent protests and looting that destroyed businesses across the suburbs. Of late, Tesla locations have been vandalized across America. This thinly veiled attempt by DuPage Democrats to cancel and scare a local business over political differences is repugnant.

Even though they focused on cutting their Republican employees who were White, male, older, non-veteran, Protestant, German American, and/or had ancestors who had been in America for a long time, I nevertheless survived until 1997. I would not have survived that long if I had not a) earned job-related master’s degrees in 1997 (finance), 1980 (accounting), and 1976 (business), b) earned job-related professional certifications in 1997 (forensic accounting), 1996 (financial services auditing), 1994 (government financial management), 1990 (fraud examination), 1981 (internal auditing), and 1979 (accounting), and c) earned a job-related professional license in 1981 (CPA).

— Nominations are open for 2025 Chicago Top Workplaces (COMMENT: Anticipate/expect that GAO will win this a) because Democrats run GAO and b) because they give their Democrat employees tremendous preference, and especially 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. In 1980, I was one of the last Republicans that GAO hired.

DUPAGE GOP
— Chairman’s Statement on Tesla Takedown. It is ridiculous that the DuPage Democrats are harassing and intimidating a local business that has contributed significantly to the Village of Lisle’s economy. This is why the Democratic Party has the lowest approval ratings that it has had since there has been polling. We are not long removed from violent protests and looting that destroyed businesses across the suburbs. Of late, Tesla locations have been vandalized across America. This thinly veiled attempt by DuPage Democrats to cancel and scare a local business over political differences is repugnant. Americans are done with it and, increasingly, done with the Democratic Party.

I have divided my precinct into four zones. It takes me about three/four hours to walk a zone. While I walk my precinct, I will get a measure of the success that hate-filled Trump-hating Trump haters have had promoting more hatred against Trump. Republican Precinct Committeemen are lightning rods for that hatred. 478 in my precinct voted for Harris. – Dave Diersen

— Trump Calls for Eliminating More Federal Agencies. President Trump has issued an Executive Order that requires making cuts to 7 federal entities that he has deemed unnecessary. If Gingrich had reformed GAO instead of gutting it in the 1980s and 1990s, DOGE would not be needed today and I might still be a GAO employee. If Gingrich had formed a team to reform GAO, I would have volunteered to be a member of that team. I would have stressed a) that I had worked for GAO since 1980 and the last 11 years of which at the GS-13 Step 1-10 Levels, currently $117,807-$153,151/year, b) that I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, c) that I passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt and became a licensed CPA in1981, d) that I became a Certified Fraud Examiner in 1990, Government Financial Manager in 1994, Financial Services Auditor in 1996, and Forensic Accountant in 1997, and e) that I earned an MBA in 1976, a master’s degree in accounting in 1980, and a master’s degree in finance in 1997.
