— GOP unveils new weapon to help slash billions in government waste as Republicans rally behind Trump’s plan. Democrats do not want Republicans to fight government waste. The Democrats who have ran IRS and GAO since 1980 did not want me to fight government waste. GAO audits IRS. GAO is supposed to fight government waste. But to waste me, they forced me to take a $23,472/year (21%) pay cut to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980. They kept me off audits of IRS for all but 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for GAO. They delayed my promotions and never promoted me beyond GS-13. They always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance. They forced me to retire when I was 49 years old in 1997.

NEW AMERICAN
— L.A. Rioters Disrupted Arrest of Illegals Linked to Cartel Activity; Sex Fiends, Murderer Arrested
https://thenewamerican.com/us/crime/homan-l-a-rioters-disrupted-arrest-of-illegals-linked-to-cartel-activity-sex-fiends-murderer-arrested/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Pro-illegal-alien rioters in Los Angeles, California, didn’t attack Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and other federal agents because they were deporting a poor, helpless “migrant” dad just trying to earn a living to support his family. Rather, border czar Tom Homan told NewsNation’s Chris Cuomo, they attacked when agents raided a business that imported almost $100 million in goods and didn’t pay import tariffs. And that business, he said, is linked to south-of-the-border terror-gang cartels. Agents arrested not only more than three dozen illegals, but also several dangerous illegal-alien criminals, including a Filipino child rapist and a Vietnamese double murderer. The “protesters” tried to block ICE from arresting those thugs and goons. So the anarchists and communists sided with a murderer and other illegal-alien criminals.)

THE HILL
— David Walker, former U.S. Comptroller General: Choosing the next comptroller general is too important — don’t play politics. Walker could have settled Diersen v. GAO ( https://gopillinois.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/DiersenGAOFifthAmendedComplaint.pdf ), but he did not. By not settling my lawsuit, he promoted patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, religious discrimination, and national origin discrimination in GAO. The Democrats who ran GAO wasted my career and forced me to retire when I was 49 years old in 1997. They flushed down their toilets what I had learned a) working for GAO for almost 18 years, b) working for IRS for almost 9 years, c) passing the CPA and Certified Internal Auditor examinations on my first attempt, d) earning four other job-related professional certifications, and e) earning a job related bachelor’s degree and three job-related master’s degrees. Democrats do not want Republicans to fight government waste. GAO is just a shell of what it once was. Gingrich gutted GAO during the 1980s and 1990s. If Gingrich had reformed GAO instead of gutting it, there would be no need for DOGE. Charles Bowsher ran GAO 1981-1996. I should write about how Gingrich and Bowsher gutted GAO. Under Gingrich and Bowsher, the agency dumped half its employees. Overwhelming, those dumped employees were Republican, White, male, older, and/or non-veteran.

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Fortunately, the Comptroller General of the United States, who serves as the CEO of the GAO and the nation’s top accountability professional, can only be removed by impeachment or joint resolution of Congress signed by the president. In addition, removal can only be achieved for specified reasons. This is fully appropriate, since the comptroller general and the GAO must be independent from the executive branch in both form and substance. There have only been eight comptroller generals since the GAO’s creation in 1921, and I served in the position from 1998 to 2008. The comptroller general must be highly qualified in terms of credentials and experience. He or she must be able to act in a manner that is professional, objective, fact-based, nonpartisan, nonideological, nonpersonal, fair and balanced. This is critical for both the comptroller general and the GAO to be effective and respected. It is also important that the comptroller general receive strong bipartisan support. The last three comptroller generals were confirmed by the Senate via unanimous consent. Hopefully, the next comptroller general will be as well. The current comptroller general is Gene Dodaro, whose term is set to end on Dec. 22, 2025. Gene is very capable — I appointed him as acting comptroller general, but it took over two-and-a-half years for him to be nominated and confirmed. Congress needs to act much faster in filling the position this time. Given the importance of the position, the comptroller general appointment process may be the most complex in the federal government. It starts with a 10-member bipartisan and bicameral commission in Congress that must recommend at least three candidates. The president then nominates a candidate who must be confirmed by the Senate. Any nominee could be filibustered if he or she is not deemed to be a proper fit for the position. The statutory commission is not formally established until the comptroller general position is vacant, but a significant amount of planning and preparation should happen before the official vacancy occurs. This includes conducting outreach efforts to appropriate professional and government organizations to identify potential candidates and preparing screening questionnaires and interview questions. Importantly, since the comptroller general is a legislative branch officer who must be independent, Congress needs to consider eliminating the president from the process. Congress should also consider reducing the appointment term to 10 years. These changes would require legislation. While DOGE has achieved a modest amount of savings and a reduction in the size of the federal workforce, it also caused also considerable disruption, and much work remains to be done. The GAO and inspectors general need to be on the front lines of this effort. These accountability organizations cannot be fully effective without confirmed leaders. Congress and the president need to take steps to fill these important accountability leadership positions in a timely manner. This should be a good government and bipartisan effort.)

— 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.

https://patch.com/illinois/wheaton/best-golf-course-il-golf-digest-says
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Golf Digest deploys 1,700 professionally trained low-handicap golfers to continually assess the golf courses. The rankings are based on more than 80,000 evaluations over 10 years looking at criteria such as short options, challenge, design variety, conditioning, aesthetics, and character. Established in 1892, Chicago Golf Club stands out as one of five golf clubs that founded the United States Golf Association in 1894, its website states. Its original location at Belmont Golf Club in Downers Grove made history in 1893 as the first 18-hole golf course in the United States. In 1894, the club moved to its current home in Wheaton on Warrenville Road. Chicago Golf Club was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2020. There are plenty of other courses in Illinois that prioritize the aesthetics of their fairways and greens and test the golfers who play on them with a variety of challenges. . .Wheaton’s Cantigny Golf came in at #35 on Golf Digest’s new list.)

— The Age Issue: More of Congress Is 70-Plus Than Ever Before. How old are you? I am 76. Democrat and RINO leaders use age discrimination to get rid of Republicans. I have ever-increasingly fought age discrimination since I was 25 years old in 1974 when my Democrat IRS superiors started using up-or-out against me. They deemed me too be old to be promoted to GS-13. To fight that, I earned an MBA in 1976. I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979. I transferred to GAO in 1980. I earned a master’s degree in accounting in 1980. I passed the Certified Internal Auditor Examination on my first attempt in 1981. I became a licensed CPA in 1981. I earned more professional certifications in 1990, 1994, 1996, and 1997. I earned a master’s degree in finance in 1997. I should write a book about age discrimination.

— Legalized discrimination. In Diersen v. GAO, the Democrats who ran GAO argued that they treated me just like Congress wanted them to treat me, that is, to waste my career and to get rid of me because I was a Republican a) who objected to their political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, religious discrimination, and national origin discrimination and b) who was an active member in a class action lawsuit that charged them with reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation. I should write about that in light of recent developments.

ILLINOIS POLICY INSTITUTE
— When you were in high school, were you viewed as being college material? I was not. But nevertheless, I took college preparatory courses, got an ACT score of 24, and made it into the upper 20% of my class. My father frequently decried his not having a college degree. What if you had not earned a college degree? If I had not earned a bachelor’s degree in management in 1970, a) Firestone Stores would not have hired me in 1970, b) Oldsmobile would not have offered me a job in 1971, and c) IRS would not have hired me in 1971. If I had not earned a master’s degree in business in 1976 and in accounting in 1980, GAO would not have hired me in 1980. Further, IRS would not have promoted me in 1972, 1973, and 1974 if I had not been taking graduate evening business courses. Further, GAO would not have promoted me in 1986 if I had not a) passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, b) passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981, and c) became a licensed CPA in 1981. Further, the Post Office would not have hired me if I had not passed the postal employment test in 1966 and IRS would not have hired me if I had not passed the Federal Service Entrance Examination in 1970.

GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— Career counseling is very important. My not majoring in accounting at UIC 1966-1968 and at NIU 1969-1970 was a very big career mistake. I erroneously thought that I could not pass the CPA examination. I did not start taking graduate accounting courses until I was 27. I did not take and pass the CPA examination on my first attempt until I was 30. I did not earn a master’s degree in accounting until I was 31. I did not take and pass the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt until I was 32. I did not become a licensed CPA until I was 32. By then, the accounting profession saw me as being far too old to have a successful career in accounting. The accounting profession would not have done that if I had been a minority, female, or veteran. – Dave Diersen

— Trump issues ‘loyalty test’ to prioritize ‘patriotic Americans’ for federal positions. Virtually all federal employees are Democrats. Democrats run the federal government. For them the federal government exists to hire, retain, and promote Democrats. They demand that federal employees put advancing the Democrat Party platform above all else, that is, that they focus on promoting patronage, race and gender based preference giving, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, religious discrimination, and national origin discrimination. Because I refused to do the aforesaid, they wasted my career and forced me to retire when I was 49 years old in 1997. In 1980, I was one of the last Republicans GAO hired. In 1971, I was one of the last Republicans IRS hired. In 1966, I was one of the last Republicans the Post Office hired. I should write a book about the aforesaid.

(FROM THE ARTICLE: U.S. President Donald Trump is reportedly putting “America First” even within his own administration. As the president continues to slash the federal workforce, he and his team have reportedly unveiled a new plan to ensure that any new hires are “patriotic Americans” who vow to advance the president’s policy priorities. The White House, in coordination with the Office of Personnel Management, released the directives for the departments to use when recruiting employees in a memo on Thursday. The directives represent a dramatic shift in hiring procedures at the federal level. POLITICO reported that prospective federal employees will now be required to write a short essay about how they plan to advance Trump’s priorities when applying for a job. The new procedure comes after Trump and many of his allies have railed against civil servants and accused them of trying to undermine Trump’s plans. It was also reported that those federal job vacancy announcements starting at a GS-5 pay grade or above will now have to complete the short essay responses to questions about their commitment to the Constitution, how they plan to improve government efficiency, how they plan to advance Trump’s executive orders and policy priorities, and about their work ethic. . .According to the Trump plan, federal employee hiring has focused too much on “elite universities and credentials.” The memo dictates that the government will target recruits from “state and land-grant universities, religious colleges and universities, community colleges, high schools, trade and technical schools, homeschooling groups, faith-based groups, American Legion, 4-H youth programs, and the military, veterans, and law enforcement communities.” The memo also states that agency heads are to “cease using statistics on race, sex, ethnicity or national origin, or the broader concept of ‘underrepresentation’ of certain groups” when deciding hiring or promotions. It also orders agencies to stop disseminating information about the composition of agencies’ workers based on their race, sex, color, religion, or national origin. Trump’s hiring plan also allegedly aims to expedite the hiring process in response to the order directing government-wide hiring to be completed within 80 days. Additionally, on Thursday, the administration issued a memo outlining new guidelines for hiring and talent development plans for leaders within the federal government’s career employee ranks, known as the Senior Executive Service (SES). During his first days back in the Oval Office, Trump issued a memo saying that because those officials “wield significant governmental authority, they must serve at the pleasure of the President.” The most recent memo now criticizes SES hiring as a “broken, insular” process that has “resulted in the hiring of executives who engage in unauthorized disclosure of Executive Branch deliberations, violate the constitutional rights of Americans, refuse to implement policy priorities, or perform their duties inefficiently or negligently.” Prior to the memo, it was claimed the qualifications for SES hiring “included unlawful ‘diversity, equity and inclusion’ (DEI) criteria for hiring Federal executives.” Trump’s memo stated that they were eliminating DEI factors in the hiring process and would instead focus on candidates’ efficiency, merit, competence, ability to lead, and ability to achieve results. To sustain the quick 80-day turnaround, the memo claims that OPM will provide an 80-hour intensive “fee-based aspiring executive development program” that’s “grounded in the Constitution, laws, and Founding ideals of our government, and will provide training on President Trump’s Executive Orders.” The program is “designed to equip aspiring leaders with the skills, knowledge, technical expertise, and strategic mindset necessary to excel in senior leadership roles.”)

— Critics/opponents of the 2025 Dodge Charger Daytona R/T claim victory. I just bought a 2025 Dodge Charger Daytona R/T. Its base price is $59,595. The base price for the Scat Pack model is $73,985. The Scat Pack does the quarter mile one second faster, but both models are doing 135 MPH at the end. I also own a 2013 Charger R/T Max. I owned a 1968 Charger R/T show car 1994-2005 and a 1969 Charger SE 1968-1971. I worked on the Chrysler assembly line in Belvidere in 1970.
https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/cars/2025/05/18/dodge-cuts-electric-charger-daytona/83710636007/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Dodge is pulling the plug, so to speak, on its base model electric Charger Daytona, the R/T, as it deals with slow sales, but don’t expect what appears to be a limited-edition run of vehicles to turn into collector’s items, according to a key industry watcher. “Rarity does not make a collectible. You need to have demand for it,” said Sam Fiorani, vice president of global vehicle forecasting for AutoForecast Solutions. “You can’t presume that this will be a Charger Daytona of 1970. They couldn’t sell those originally and years later, they were collectible.” Fiorani said it’s risky to bet on a car of today becoming something that brings big dollars in the years to come, even when the numbers of those made and sold are relatively small. Still, Dodge will continue to offer the more powerful and expensive electric Charger Daytona Scat Pack for the upcoming model year, even as it prepares to launch several gas-powered versions. While it’s not clear how many Dodge Charger Daytonas will be produced this year, so far, the sales picture is showing a fairly light impact. Electric Charger sales – the company did not distinguish between versions – for the first three months of this year were at 1,947. Granted, they were just beginning to arrive in showrooms in January after months of delays. However, the automaker likely had higher hopes. Fiorani noted that he’d recently driven by a Dodge dealership and saw a row of Chargers waiting to be sold. In a statement, Dodge CEO Matt McAlear said, “Production of the Dodge Charger Daytona R/T is postponed for the 2026 model year as we continue to assess the effects of U.S. tariff policies. The Charger’s flexible, multi-energy STLA Large platform allows us to focus on the Charger Daytona Scat Pack’s performance as the world’s quickest and most powerful muscle car, add the new four-door model to the Charger mix for the 2026 model year and lean into the new Charger SIXPACK models that will launch in the second half of the year.” Sixpack refers to the engine, the inline-six Hurricane, which will come in 550-horsepower or 420-horsepower variants. The electric Scat Pack promises a peak power base of 630 horsepower with a limited push-button burst to 670 horsepower called the Power Shot. The Dodge website lists the Scat Pack all-wheel drive with a starting price of $73,985, excluding destination charge. Adding gas-powered versions to the lineup is not a surprise, as Dodge had previously said that was the plan. However, the decision, reported earlier by MoparInsiders.com, to end the electric R/T’s run so soon does highlight how the market has changed, both in terms of the slower adoption of electric vehicles and President Donald Trump’s embrace of tariffs. The Charger Daytona is assembled at the Windsor Assembly Plant in Ontario, but the batteries initially were to come from South Korea. Fiorani offered some perspective on the potential tariff impact, however. “Everybody is leaning on tariffs for every change in production or sales, whether real or not,” he said. Market realities are, however, what they are. “The idea that an internal combustion engine version would hit the market better at the moment is a strong one,” according to Fiorani. “Buyers haven’t warmed up to EVs as a performance vehicle yet, especially since every EV is a performance model now.” Fiorani also noted that the company’s planned shift in production volume toward the gas-powered Charger would also take the focus off the less expensive EV version – the R/T was listed with a starting price of $59,595, not counting destination. “(They) kind of want to focus on the vehicle that will make money versus the entry-level models that will sell on price,” Fiorani said.)

I worked on the Chrysler assembly line in Belvidere in 1970.
https://moparinsiders.com/stellantis-hq-gets-patriotic-makeover-for-americas-250th-birthday/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: If you’ve driven past the Chrysler Technical Center (CTC) in Auburn Hills, Michigan lately, you probably noticed something big—literally. Stellantis just unveiled a huge new building wrap on its North American headquarters, and it’s all about celebrating America’s 250th birthday. The 15-story tower now proudly wears a red, white, and blue America 250-themed wrap, complete with the newest Dodge and Chrysler logos, along with bold nods to Jeep® and Ram. It’s part of a new yearlong partnership between Stellantis and America 250, the official group in charge of organizing the country’s semi-quincentennial celebration. This isn’t just some casual ad either. The new wrap covers the entire face of the tower and can be seen from a long stretch of I-75, where over 200,000 vehicles pass by each day. It’s designed to grab attention—and it does. The message is clear: Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep®, and Ram are proud to be American-born brands and even prouder to help lead the charge into the country’s 250th year of independence. It’s also a return to tradition. Before the merger that created Stellantis, the Chrysler Group was known for frequently updating the tower with new wraps that showcased their latest vehicles or milestones. Over the past couple of years, though, those updates slowed down. In fact, the last wrap—a Jeep® Wagoneer S promotion—was installed back in June 2024. Before that, the building went nearly a year without one. But now, the tower is back to doing what it does best—making a bold statement. The wrap doesn’t just show off new logos; it tells a story. A story about American innovation, independence, and the four powerhouse brands that have become part of the country’s automotive legacy. For car lovers, history buffs, and everyone in between, this wrap is a reminder that Stellantis’ U.S. brands still take pride in their heritage—and they’re more than ready to celebrate the red, white, and blue.)

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.

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.

I should write about my critics/opponents. They stress that my ACT score was only 24 and that I only just barely made it into the upper 20% of my high school class.

NDTV WORLD
— Democrat leaders hint/imply/argue/shout that Trump has a grudge against Harvard because it rejected him and/or his son. Since I was 19 years old in 1968, my Democrat superiors in the federal government have hinted/implied/argued/shouted that I have a grudge against federal agencies because they took adverse actions against me. To get rid of me, my Democrat Post Office superiors disallowed my sick leave requests in 1968 and 1969 and forced me to resign in 1969. To get rid of me, my Democrat IRS superiors disallowed my travel vouchers in 1974, disallowed my education deductions in 1978, and never promoted me beyond GS-12. 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.

— 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 bronze statue of Melania Trump in Slovenia has been chopped off at the feet and stolen. 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.
