But my Democrat GAO superiors had made it clear that if did not retire, they would make the next 6 years until I would be eligible for regular retirement a living hell for me. They promised to demote me and to give me adverse transfers, bad job assignments, unfair performance expectations and evaluations, and even worse things. They could easily do that because GAO was not unionized.

Nathan Cartagena, Ph.D., who has been an assistant professor of philosophy at Wheaton College since 2018, has repeatedly exhibited “left-wing racial politics laundered through a patina of ‘Christianese,'” according to an analysis of his writings posted on the website “For Wheaton.” Educated at Grove City College, Texas A&M University and Baylor University, Cartagena’s profile asserts that he specializes in Thomas Aquinas, civil rights activist James Baldwin, Critical Race Theory, military ethics, “Evangélic@ Theology,” and Christian pedagogy.)

Republicans should know that Democrat and RINO leaders will get rid of you if you are not making say a) $100,000/year by age 25, c) $200,000/year by age 30, d) $300,000/year by age 35, e) $400,000/year by age 40, f) etc.

— We Had Been Scraping By on Two Paychecks. Now We Have One. My Democrat GAO superiors forced me to retire when I was 49 years old in 1997. In today’s dollars, a) my GAO salary was $153,151/year and b) my Civil Service Retirement System pension is $66,780/year. That means that my wife and I have had $86,371/year less income since 1997.

— Republicans in Congress are drafting a tax bill that raises the state and local tax deduction cap for individuals from $10,000 to $25,000. I started itemizing when I was 24 years old in 1972 and my wife and I started in 1978. We paid less federal income tax because of that. But SALT ended all that. My critics/opponents have been furious that we have paid less federal income tax by itemizing. They want SALT and they do not want the SALT cap to be increased.

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.

Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts asked the Government Accountability Office (GAO) to seek answers to those questions and to study the impacts of the firings, arguing that removing people from critical areas of government — such as air travel, wildland firefighting, infectious disease control, nuclear security and veterans’ health care — has put the county’s health and safety at risk.

— Upcoming ‘New Illinois’ convention to split state driven by rural, urban divide. Will Cook County stay Illinois and the rest of the state become ‘New Illinois?’
https://www.thecentersquare.com/illinois/article_a5c82042-cb19-45de-b3fe-7068ab7ad5cc.html
(COMMENT: The divide between rural and urban areas in Illinois is one of the main drivers of many looking to split the state in two. G.H. Merritt is chairman of New Illinois, a group that plans their seventh constitutional convention next weekend in Bloomington. The movement aims to make a new state out of most of Illinois, excluding Cook County. “When you have a very large group of people that is disenfranchised, that is going to cause division and I think separating states maybe would help people get along better,” Merritt told The Center Square. Merritt said a 1964 U.S. Supreme Court ruling effectively allowed a state’s largest populated area to dictate politics for the rest of the state. “When you take a state that already has a history of corruption and you apply Reynolds v. Sims to that, that causes all the power to be concentrated like that, that opens the door for no accountability, opens the door for more corruption,” Merritt said. Among similar movements in other states around the country, Indiana recently created a commission to investigate absorbing counties that want to split from Illinois. “Their economy in Northwest Indiana is so tied into the economy of Chicago that if Chicago goes the way of Detroit … that is going to adversely affect them,” said Merritt. Merritt doesn’t expect Indiana’s effort to succeed, as it requires cooperation from Illinois Democrats. Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker said Indiana’s efforts were a “stunt.” One element impacting many to move toward separating the state into two is the state’s finances. Illinois’ pension debt is among the worst in the country and the state’s residents pay among the highest taxes in the country. “People look at this on the surface and think it’s a Democrat versus Republican thing, that is not the way we see it at all,” Merritt said. “It is an urban versus rural, small town and suburban thing.” Among the “grievances” New Illinois has published on their website are: Lack of representative government, extreme gerrymandering, violation of Second Amendment rights and “the government of Illinois is a tyranny.” The New Illinois Convention is Friday evening, April 4, and all day Saturday, April 5, at the Chateau Hotel and Convention Center in Bloomington.)

Yesterday, using 800 mailing labels and 400 envelopes, I finished hand-delivering Republican campaign literature and sample ballots to the 400 residences (375 homes and 25 low-income apartments) in my DuPage County Milton Township Precinct 59 in Wheaton that have at least one Republican or one Independent voter. My precinct having three different ballot styles complicated matters. I divided my precinct into five zones. It took me three+ hours to walk each zone. While I walked my precinct, I got 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

ABC7
— Postal workers rally downtown Chicago against reported plan to privatize USPS. Who do you know who has worked for the Post Office? The Democrats who ran the Park Forest Post office in 1966 hired me because they could not find a qualified Democrat, minority, female, or veteran who would take the job. They gambled and lost that I would become a Democrat. They disapproved of my being a Vietnam War draft avoider, conservative, Republican, Protestant, German American, Crete resident since 1948, and new car owner. I used my 1966 Pontiac Tempest Sprint to deliver mail 1966-1967, then my 1968 Oldsmobile 442 1967-1968, and then my 1969 Dodge Charger SE 1968-1969. I had bought my Pontiac with money that I earned washing dishes part-time 1964-1966. To get rid of me, they disallowed my sick leave requests in 1968 and 1969 and forced me to resign in 1969 by falsely arguing that I was not available to work enough part-time hours. I was available to work every Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday, holiday, and every day NIU was not in session.

— An 1883 Act is protecting federal workers from DOGE’s firing spree. Democrat and RINO leaders reject the Pendleton Act. For them, government exists to hire, to retain, and to promote Democrats and RINOs.
https://www.nprillinois.org/2025-03-23/an-1883-act-is-protecting-federal-workers-from-doges-firing-spree
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Starting in 1883, there came a series of reforms, culminating in the Pendleton Act, which established civil service and a merit system for persons competing for jobs. . .The Pendleton Act banned the hiring of relatives, donors and other supporters for a certain class of federal jobs that required special knowledge or skills. It also banned the firing of employees for political reasons. At first, the act covered just 10% of federal jobs, but it expanded to encompass the vast majority.)

The Democrats who ran GAO 1980-1997 wasted my career and forced me to retire when I was 49 years old in 1997. They would not have done that if I had been a Democrat, minority, female, and/or veteran.

— The downside of early retirement. Because my Democrat superiors in the federal government wasted my career and forced me to retire when I was 49 years old in 1997, in today’s dollars, my Civil Service Retirement System pension a) is only 44% of what my salary was in 1997 and b) is less than what my IRS salary was in 1972. But far worse than that, my critics/opponents have always viciously used against me my having been forced to retire early. They have always hinted/implied/argued/shouted that I must be an extremely bad person because I was forced to retire even though I had so many qualifications. I had worked for GAO for almost 18 years and for IRS for almost 9 years before that. GAO audits IRS. I had earned an MBA in 1976, a master’s degree in accounting in 1980, and a master’s degree in finance in 1997. I had passed on my first attempt the CPA examination in 1979 and the Certified Internal Auditor examination in 1981. I had earned four more job-related professional certifications in 1990, 1994, 1996, and 1997. I had become a licensed CPA in 1981. My critics/opponents ignore/dismiss/belittle a) the fact that I had been an active member in a class action lawsuit since 1988 that charged my Democrat GAO superiors with reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation, b) the fact that Gingrich had dramatically cut GAO’s budget, and c) the fact that my Democrat GAO superiors gave my job and my preferred corner office to my Black subordinate who had less work experience than I had, had less education than I had, had one professional certification while I had six, had no CPA license like the one I had, and had always ran the office’s Black History Month events.

GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— What is the Democrat Party’s strategy to win elections? It is to ever-increasingly promote more hatred against voters who share Trump’s demographics: conservative, Republican, White, male, older, married, non-poor, non-veteran, Protestant, German American, and/or have ancestors who have been in America for a long time. It is to ever-increasingly shout that those who are the aforesaid are causing all the problems for those who are the following: liberal/moderate, non-Republican, minority, female, younger, unmarried, non-rich, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or have ancestors who have not been in America for a long time. – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com
— Federal Democrat leaders ever-increasingly rally for federal employees. While I worked for the Democrats who ran GAO 1980-1997, Gingrich ever-increasingly cut GAO’s budget. There were no rallies for GAO employees. The Democrats who ran GAO made its employees who were Republican, White, male, older, non-veteran, Protestant, German American, and/or who had ancestors who had been in America for a long time pay the price of Gingrich’s budget cuts. – Dave Diersen

http://www.gopillinois.com
— Democrat leaders have never fought for equal rights. Democrat leaders have always fought for superior rights for those who vote for Democrats. Those who vote for Democrats are liberal, moderate, minority, female, younger, non-Protestant, non-German American, have ancestors who have not been in America for a long time, have less money than others, have financial, health and/or other problems, lack education and/or job skills, want/need/demand massive government assistance, boozers, gamblers, stoners, criminals, etc. – Dave Diersen

— What percent of the registered voters in your precinct are not affiliated (NA), that is, what percent have not cast a Republican or Democrat primary ballot? Of the 1,100 registered voters in my DuPage County Milton Township Precinct 59 in Wheaton, 450 (41%) are NA, 375 (34%) are Republican, and 275 (25%) are Democrat. Why do so many not vote in primary elections? – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com
— The downside of early retirement. Because my Democrat superiors in the federal government wasted my career and forced me to retire when I was 49 years old in 1997, in today’s dollars, my Civil Service Retirement System pension a) is only 44% of what my salary was in 1997 and b) is less than what my IRS salary was in 1972. But far worse than that, my critics/opponents have always viciously used against me my having been forced to retire early. They have always hinted/implied/argued/shouted that I must be an extremely bad person because I was forced to retire even though I had so many qualifications. I had worked for GAO for almost 18 years and for IRS for almost 9 years before that. GAO audits IRS. I had earned an MBA in 1976, a master’s degree in accounting in 1980, and a master’s degree in finance in 1997. I had passed on my first attempt the CPA examination in 1979 and the Certified Internal Auditor examination in 1981. I had earned four more job-related professional certifications in 1990, 1994, 1996, and 1997. I had become a licensed CPA in 1981. My critics/opponents ignore/dismiss/belittle a) the fact that I had been an active member in a class action lawsuit since 1988 that charged my Democrat GAO superiors with reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation, b) the fact that Gingrich had dramatically cut GAO’s budget, and c) the fact that my Democrat GAO superiors gave my job and my preferred corner office to my Black subordinate who had less work experience than I had, had less education than I had, had one professional certification while I had six, had no CPA license like the one I had, and had always ran the office’s Black History Month events. – Dave Diersen

That’s Congress’ job,” Glover said.

— Harvard is expanding free tuition in diversity push My father never earned more than $50,000/year in today’s dollars. Nevertheless, he believed that was too much to qualify for financial scholarships. And as my critics/opponents have always stressed, I did not qualify for scholastic scholarships because my ACT score was only 24 and I only just barely made it into the upper 20% of my high school class. Therefore, I worked my way through college.

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Harvard University announced Monday it will be expanding free tuition to more students, a move adopted by other schools since the Supreme Court ruled affirmative action could no longer be used in college admissions. Harvard said students from families making less than $200,000 a year will not be charged for tuition, expanding on a previous decision to make the school completely free, covering tuition, housing and other costs, for those coming from families making less than $100,000 a year.)

Flash-forward nine years, and Joan (now played by a grad school-aged actor) is bleaching her hair and doctoring her selfies with the Ethnos app (designed to make people of color look white). It feels edgy to call out such self-effacing, approval-chasing behavior at a time when appearance-altering practices are widespread, and potentially controversial to suggest that what Joan wants most is to be white.)

Parents Ted and Caitlin, both veterans, say they’ve felt unsafe in their home country since Donald Trump returned to the White House. They took their children out of school the day after the presidential inauguration, fearing for their mental health.)
NEW YORK TIMES
— Conservatives’ Tesla Rescue Mission Has Its Work Cut Out. Trump rallied support for Elon Musk’s car company, but there may not be enough conservatives willing to buy electric cars to make up for the Democrats who now shun Teslas. (COMMENT: In how much danger are Tesla owners in your county, township, municipality, school district, and precinct?)

WASHINGTON POST
— As Musk’s business empire falters, Trump summons a wave of conservative support. Amid calls for Musk to step back from the U.S. DOGE Service, Trump is offering a White House lifeline to his biggest donor — further entwining their fates. (COMMENT: To help elect a candidate is to entwine your fate with that candidate. Far too many candidates who I have helped elect have disappointed me. Far too many blame me and blame my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters for their defeats. Far too many have dumped more and more and more planks in the Republican Party platform.)

— Pritzker Wants to Lead the Trump Resistance. But Is He Turning His Back on DEI? (COMMENT: Anticipate/expect that some Democrat and RINO leaders will put their promotion of DEI under the table and off the books. I should write about those Democrat and RINO leaders in Illinois, DuPage County, Milton Township, and Wheaton who have bragged the most about their DEI promotion, that is, who have bragged the most about their promotion of race and gender based preference giving, patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, religious discrimination, and national origin discrimination.)
https://www.thefp.com/p/jb-pritzker-dei-donald-trump-pritzker-family-foundation-website
(FROM THE ARTICLE: According to a Free Press review of internet archive records, Pritzker’s own family nonprofit appears to have scrubbed a slew of DEI language from its website on March 11. The Pritzker Family Foundation eliminated the phrase justice and equity from its mission statement and jettisoned the word inequities to describe its focus on social justice. The group also removed the word equitable from the statement that said the group had a “deep desire to create more just and equitable outcomes.” And the foundation removed an entire sentence from its website that read: “Learn more about our ongoing efforts to apply a lens of Justice, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (JEDI) to our grantmaking here,” which linked to a downloadable foundation document detailing its “ongoing journey” to embrace DEI. This document can no longer be found on the foundation’s site, but was located by The Free Press on the internet archive.)

— If Gingrich had reformed GAO instead of gutting it, 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 the 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. – Dave Diersen

— What is/was your employers’ top priority? I worked for the Democrats who ran GAO 1980-1997, IRS 1971-1980, and Post Office 1966-1969. Their top priority was hiring, retaining, and promoting Democrats who were minority, female, younger, veteran, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or had ancestors who had not been in America for a long time. To achieve the aforesaid, they ever-increasingly a) lowered their hiring, retention, and promotion standards and b) used the extreme subjectivity in their personnel policies a) to give preference to their employees who were the aforesaid and b) to waste the careers of and to get rid of their employees who were not the aforesaid. The aforesaid ever-increasing rendered worthless a) my three job-related master’s degrees, b) my six job-related professional certifications, and c) my jo-related professional license. – Dave Diersen

If I was in high school today, because of my terrible demographics, I question if I could find enough motivation to pursue college.
