https://www.latimes.com/opinion/story/2024-10-23/devin-nunes-donald-trump-truth-social-california-congress-robin-abcarian
(FROM THE ARTICLE: I’ve followed Nunes’ career as an ultra-litigious Trump defender who is afflicted by a world-class intolerance for perceived slights. Before taking the helm of Trump Media in 2022, Nunes had a master’s degree in agriculture but little hands-on business experience. He was involved in his family’s San Joaquin Valley dairy farm decades ago; when he was 14, he has recounted, he bought seven head of young cattle to raise and sell. I guess this explains his tolerance for the, ah, stench of MAGA bull. Given his disdain for media in general and free speech in particular, as evidenced by a series of lawsuits against news organizations and other critics, putting Nunes in charge of a fledgling media empire was a bizarre move — unless the company is all about cozying up to the deep-pocketed sort of people who would benefit from a second Trump administration. According to documents obtained by ProPublica, an unnamed Trump Media whistleblower recently asked the company’s board of directors to fire Nunes. One person with knowledge of the situation told ProPublica that the complaint alleged “misuse of funds, hiring of foreign contractors and interfering with product development.” (A Trump Media spokesperson denied the charges and accused the nonprofit journalism organization of a campaign to damage the company.))

— What motivates your critics/opponents to work against you the most? For me, it is my promoting the equal opportunity plank in the Republican Party platform, that is, my fighting against race and gender based preference giving, that is, my fighting against reverse discrimination and age discrimination. My critics/opponents benefit from that discrimination, want to benefit from that discrimination, and/or want to curry favor with those who benefit from that discrimination or want to benefit from it. They blame me for the problems that minorities and females have and have had. My Democrat superiors in the federal government blamed me for the problems that my many subordinates had who were minority and/or female. RINO leaders in Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois blame me for the problems that minority and female Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct have and have had since 2000. They attribute all my successes in life to my benefitting from discrimination against minorities and females. In my defense, neither of my parents attended college, my father was only the first of my ancestors to earn a high school diploma, my mother never attended high school, and I had to work my way through college. I should write about my critics/opponents. I would focus on those whose parents had lots of money, who bought them cars, who paid for their college expenses, an/or who got them jobs. I would focus on those who have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me recently. – Dave Diersen

https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2024/dec/10/luigi-mangione-law-enforcement-bulletin-provides-i/
(COMMENT: The suspect in the killing of UnitedHealthcare’s CEO likely was motivated by his anger with what he called “parasitic” health insurance companies and a disdain for corporate greed, a law enforcement bulletin obtained by The Associated Press said. Luigi Nicholas Mangione wrote that the U.S. has the most expensive health care system in the world and that profits of major corporations continue to rise while “our life expectancy” does not, according to the bulletin, based on a review of his hand-written notes and social media posts. Prosecutors were beginning to take steps to bring the 26-year-old Ivy League graduate from a prominent Maryland real estate family back to New York to face a murder charge while new details emerged about his life and how he was captured.)

NATIONAL REVIEWS
— The Affirmative Action Fight Comes to High Schools ICOMMENT: I was not viewed as being college material. In my defense, I have always had to stress that I graduated in the upper 20% of my Crete-Monee High School class in 1966 ( https://cretemoneehighschool.org/class-of-1966.html ).)
https://www.nationalreview.com/2024/12/the-affirmative-action-fight-comes-to-high-schools/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Yesterday, the Supreme Court declined to hear a case against Boston’s School Committee. But the underlying issue will not be going away. Like many major cities, Boston runs special high schools for high-ability students, known there as “exam schools.” And like their counterparts elsewhere, Boston’s education officials have grown increasingly uncomfortable with the fact that Asian and white kids disproportionately test into these schools while black and Hispanic children are underrepresented.)

— Recent Immigration Surge Has Been Largest in U.S. History. Under President Biden, more than two million immigrants per year have entered, government data shows. (COMMENT: If there had been as many immigrants when I was young as there are now, they would have gotten the jobs that I got. Those jobs enabled me to a) buy used cars in 1964 and 1971, b) buy new cars in 1966, 1967, 1968, 1971, 1973, 1978, etc. c) pay for my college expenses, d) buy real state in 1972, 1974, 1976, and 1978 and have a home built in 1984, e) get married in 1978, f) etc. Employers want cheap labor. My critics/opponents have never had to compete against cheap immigrant labor.)

They have make GS-13 ($115,439/year) by age 25, GS-14 ($136,414/year) by age 30, GS-15 ($160,458/year) by age 35, and Senior Executive Service ($191,900/year) by age 40.

— Whipping up Illinois Republicans (COMMENT: I used to attend and report on such Republican political events. I should write about the following who have ever-increasingly blamed me and blamed my GOPUSA UILLINOIS newsletters for defeats suffered by Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct since 2000: past and present a) leaders of the Illinois Republican Party, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Milton Township Republican Organization, b) Republican leaders of Illinois, DuPage County, Milton Township, and Wheaton, c) Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct and their political consultants, major donors, fundraisers, pollsters, campaign managers, campaign staff members, and campaign volunteers, d) conservative leaders and activists, and e) religious leaders and activists. I would focus on the aforesaid who have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me.)
https://www.politico.com/newsletters/illinois-playbook/2024/12/09/whipping-up-illinois-republicans-00193243
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Incoming Ohio Republican Sen. Bernie Moreno stopped in Illinois for a Republican holiday gathering and gave some insight about Donald Trump 2.0, immigration and his beef with the Inflation Reduction Act. “We’re going to resolve immigration in the first 40 to 60 days,” Moreno told the Republican-centric crowd over a lunch of chicken Milanese and whipped potatoes at Gibson’s in Oak Brook on Friday. Speaking to the choir: “This election was ultimately about two issues at the end of the day: open borders and high prices,” Moreno told the group. Immigration “is the easiest thing to fix intellectually. It’s the hardest thing to fix emotionally, and I hope to play a role in making that happen.” Moreno will be Ohio’s first Latino senator after ousting Democratic Sen. Sherrod Brown last month in the most expensive Senate race ever at $441 million. The who’s who of Illinois Republicans were in a celebratory mood in spite of their tough spot as the state’s underdog party. The event was hosted by businessman Jay Bergman, Superior Ambulance Service CEO David B. Hill III and Kirkland & Ellis’ Sandy Perl and Richard Porter, who sported “Let’s Go Brandon” socks (a hat tip to the anti-Biden meme), and organized by Victoria Login and Sara Karlovics of LW&Co. The new name in the crowd was Dave Nayak, who earlier this year ran as a Democrat for state Senate and has since pivoted to be a Republican. “Switching parties was an easy decision,” he told your Playbook host. “I’m honored and proud to be part of the Republican Party.” What’s next for Nayak: He hasn’t decided about whether he’s running for office again, but he is co-hosting an event tonight featuring Tom Homan, who’s been picked by Trump as border czar. Republicans don’t hold any statewide office, and they didn’t make headway in state legislative races — though they didn’t lose ground, either. They hope having Republicans in control of Washington will have a trickle-down effect in Illinois in future elections. Moreno’s big win gives them hope. The Ohio Republican was well received, though he did make one comment that fell flat with the crowd. He criticized the Inflation Reduction Act because it gives $7,500 incentives to those who buy electric vehicles. “So Ken Griffin can lease an electric Rolls Royce that costs $600 grand and get $7,500 in tax subsidies. Do you think he needs it?” There was a nervous buzz in the room from the 250-plus crowd that still pines for Griffin, a billionaire who for years opened his wallet to Illinois Republicans before he moved to Florida. SPOTTED: Illinois Republican Chair Kathy Salvi, Former Ambassador Ron Gidwitz, former Congressman Bob Dold, state Sen. Andrew Chesney, former Lt. Gov. Evelyn Sanguinetti, Will County State’s Attorney Jim Glasgow, Sangamon County State’s Attorney John Milhiser, DuPage County State’s Attorney Bob Berlin, former Illinois House Republican Leader Jim Durkin, former Illinois comptroller Leslie Munger, Illinois Chamber Senior Legislative Affairs Adviser Keith Wheeler, Lee County development leader Tom Demmer, Orland Park Mayor Keith Pekau, Will County Board Member Raquel Mitchell, Metra Board Chair Joe McMahon, Palatine Committeeman Aaron del Mar and DuPage County Board candidate Greg Hart. Also in the room: former state lawmakers Jeanne Ives, Jack Schaffer, David Welter, Patricia Bellock, Bob Biggins and Tim Ozinga, former congressional candidates Esther Joy King and Jim Carris, businessman Eli Boufis, attorney Tom DeVore, philanthropist Eleni Bousis, former hospital exec Robert Christie, Strategia Chief Strategy Officer Brian Bernardoni and LW&Co.’s Lisa Wagner.)

My mother had never attended high school and she had stayed home and raised my brother and me. My brother was having problems in high school. I graduated from NIU in August of 1970 and immediately took a job working for the Firestone Store in Chicago Heights. My application for a financial hardship draft deferment to help support my mother and brother was approved in February of 1971. I lived with and helped support them until my mother got a better paying job and I bought a new town home in University Park in September of 1972.)

Since 2000, extremely few of the leaders of the Milton Township Republican Organization have stressed my qualifications.

I worked for GAO as an Analyst for almost 18 years, the last 11 years of which at the GS-13 Step 1-10 Levels, currently $115,439-$150,075/year. I worked for IRS as a Revenue Officer for almost 9 years, the last 5 1/2 years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 Levels, currently $97,079-$110,020/year. I passed the CPA and Certified Internal Auditor examinations on my first attempt and became a licensed CPA. I have four other job-related professional certifications (fraud examination, government financial management, financial services auditing, and forensic accounting). I have master’s degrees in business, accounting, and finance. – Dave Diersen

During that time, I bought a new 1972 Corvette, a new town home, and a studio condo and I completed 12 graduate business courses at Loyola. Also 1976-1981 when I earned an MBA from Loyola, bought a one bedroom condo, got married and bought a home in Wheaton, passed the CPA examination on my first attempt, earned a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul, passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt, and became a licensed CPA. Also, 1986-1988 when GAO assigned me to audits of IRS and promoted me to GS-13 (currently $115,439/year). When were your bad old days? Mine include 1974 when my Democrat IRS superiors disallowed my travel vouchers and 1978 when then they disallowed my education deductions and after 1974 when they refused to promote me to GS-13. They include 1980 when my Democrat GAO superiors forced me to suffer a $22,996/year pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO. They include 1980-1985 when they refused to assign me to audits of IRS, delayed my promotions, and refused to promote me to GS-13. They include 1989-1997 when they kept me off audits of IRS, always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes, and forced me to retire when I was 49 years old.)

— Thornton Township election preview: Tuesday is Caucus Day; candidates so far (COMMENT: It would be great if all township governments would issue press releases that would provide such detail.)
https://thelansingjournal.com/2024/12/02/thornton-township-election-preview-tuesday-is-caucus-day-candidates-so-far/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: In preparation for what could be the most contested Thornton Township election in recent history, major political parties will each hold a caucus Tuesday, Dec. 3, to select candidates for supervisor, clerk, assessor, highway commissioner, and four trustee seats. Voters will go to the polls on April 1, 2025, to make their selections in the Consolidated Election, and the caucuses determine which candidates they will see on their ballots. A source familiar with Thornton Township politics said these are the first caucuses held in many years. . .Residents of Thornton Township may participate in either the Democratic or Republican Party caucuses, nominating a candidate and voting on their party’s nominees. By participating in the caucus, a resident is becoming affiliated with that political party. Caucus proceedings When entering the caucus room, participants will be asked to sign an affidavit stating they are registered to vote in Thornton Township and are affiliated with the established political party conducting the caucus — that they are a registered Democrat or registered Republican. The chair of the proceedings will call the caucus to order. They will introduce the caucus judges of election and announce the offices for which nominees will be selected. Then the chair calls for nominations, which can come from anyone in the caucus. The procedure continues until there are no more nominations. Participants then vote on their preferred nominees. The highest vote-getters in each race are selected as the nominee. Independent and other candidates Candidates running under non-major political parties have already filed their candidacy for Thornton Township, and do not participate in the caucus process. Four Independent Party candidates are looking to unseat Henyard: Nate Fields Jr., LaShunte’ Lollis-Walton, Stafford Owens, and Sidney Moore. Harvey Mayor Chris Clark is also a candidate for supervisor, leading a Reform Thornton Township Party ticket that includes four candidates for trustee: Harvey city administrator Corean Davis, Harvey fifth ward alderperson Dominique Randle-El, Rachel Jones, and Jacinta J. Gholston. Also running for trustee are Democrat Mary Ann Thornton and Independent Felesa Melvin. Running for highway commissioner is Independent Kenny Williams. The township Clerk’s office reported no filings for clerk or assessor. It is not clear whether other incumbents on the Thornton Township Board of Trustees, all Democrats, are seeking nominations to retain their seats.)

https://www.shawlocal.com/kane-county-chronicle/2024/11/30/former-lauzen-employee-slams-his-expertise-treatment-of-her/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: In an email, Lauzen wrote that he fired Cain on Friday, Nov. 22. “It is now obvious to me that I made a mistake when I hired her,” Lauzen’s email stated. When there were concerns about her work, he said, he gave her a written six-month performance improvement plan. . .In his email, Lauzen denied saying he had “given up” on her, spoke to her with contempt, and justified that he wanted her log in ID and password because he is “ultimately responsible for everything that occurs in the Treasurer’s Office, both good and bad, I need to know what is going on around me.” As to his lack of computer skills, Lauzen said he depends on his staff and the IT department to assist. “There is no conceit on my part that my data processing skills are in any way exemplary,” Lauzen wrote. “I’m not shy to ask for help.” Lauzen also wrote that the Treasurer’s Office does not have to follow Government Accounting Standard Board rules regarding revenue. It also does not have statutory responsibility or authority to produce or present the county’s financial statements. “The Accounting Department does. Therefore, we have nothing to do with the applicability of any GASB regulations,” Lauzen wrote.)

FROM NATIONAL CENTER-LEFT SOURCES
THE HILL
— Redefining diversity in Trump’s second administration (COMMENT: All my coworkers who my Democrat superiors promoted over me were Democrats who had less work experience than I had, had less education than I had, had no professional certifications or fewer than I had, and/or had no professional license like the one I had. They all were minority, female, younger than me, veteran, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or had ancestors who had not been in America for a long time.)
https://thehill.com/opinion/white-house/5012229-trump-dei-merit/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: President-elect Donald Trump’s resounding victory signals a turning point for our nation. As America grapples with the consequences of unchecked diversity, equity and inclusion or DEI policies, the second Trump administration has a clear mandate to restore fairness and meritocracy in employment law. . .At its core, DEI as currently practiced is antithetical to the principles of fairness and equality. Instead of leveling the playing field, it tilts it steeply in favor of select groups, creating a workplace culture where hiring and promotions are often dictated by identity rather than merit. DEI practices, though often cloaked in the language of equity, are nothing more than reverse discrimination, punishing individuals for their race or gender while undermining the very concept of merit-based achievement. . .Second, Trump can promote merit-based hiring and advancement. Meritocracy is the cornerstone of a thriving economy. Employment decisions should be based on skills, qualifications and performance — not identity. The Trump administration must make it clear that federally regulated industries and contractors will face penalties for using quotas or “diversity scorecards” as hiring criteria. Transparency in hiring and promotion processes should also be mandated to ensure fairness. . .America’s workplaces must remain places of opportunity and collaboration, not battlegrounds for ideological warfare. DEI, as it currently stands, has created an environment of division, resentment and legal uncertainty. By focusing on merit, fairness and individual rights, the Trump administration can undo the damage wrought by years of identity politics and restore a culture of excellence and mutual respect.)

CNBC
— While I worked for the Democrats who ran the federal government for almost 30 years, they ever-increasingly crowed about their success in promoting Affirmative Action and DEI, that is, their success in promoting race and gender based preference giving, patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, religious discrimination, and nation origin discrimination.

NBC NEWS
— Senate approves promotion for general involved in Afghanistan exit after a Republican blocked it (COMMENT: My Democrat superiors in the federal government initially delayed and blocked my promotions because I was not a Democrat, minority, female, or veteran. Then they delayed and blocked my promotions because I complained about their political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination. My Democrat IRS superiors refused to promote me beyond GS-12 and my Democrat GAO superiors refused to promote me beyond GS-13 even though I had earned an MBA when I was 27, passed the CPA examination on my first attempt when I was 30, earned a master’s degree in accounting when I was 31, and passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt and became a licensed CPA when I was 32.)

— Republican senators brush aside Pete Hegseth misconduct allegations after meeting with him. Hegseth, who is Donald Trump’s pick to be Secretary of Defense, has faced sexual assault and alcohol abuse allegations. He has denied any wrongdoing. (COMMENT: Just kidding, but what wrongdoing do your critics/opponents accuse you of and refuse to pardon you for? My critics/opponents accuse me of causing all the defeats that Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct have suffered since 2000 starting with Jim Ryan in 2002 and Andy McKenna in 2004. I should write a book about my critics/opponents. I would focus on those who continue to have lots of religious, government, political, and/or financial clout in Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois.)

— Helping Students Find Their Way to College (COMMENT: When you were in high school, were you viewed as being college material? I was not. Nevertheless, at the start of my junior year in 1964, I set a goal for myself to get accepted by UIC. I took college preparatory courses, I got an ACT score of 24, and I graduated in the upper 20% of my class. To buy a new car to commute to/from UIC and my parents’ home in Crete, I washed dishes for the minimum wage in the basement of the S.S. Kresge in Chicago Heights after school, Saturdays, and the summer of 1965.)

NEW YORK MAGAZINE
— Woke Cost the Democrats the Presidential Election. My critics/opponents have always promoted woke and they continue to promote woke. To promote wok is to promote dependency on government and charity, LGBTQ, abortion, mass/illegal immigration, booze, gambling, pot, and other vices, diminishment of Second Amendment rights, and Affirmative Action and DEI, that is, race and gender based preference giving, patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, religious discrimination, and nation origin discrimination.

INSIDE HIGHER EDUCATION
— Fewer 18-Year-Olds Enrolled in College This Fall (COMMENT: I enrolled in UIC when I was 18 in 1966. Because of that, I was able to graduate from NIU when I was 21. Because I was 1-A for the Vietnam War draft, I could not have done that if I had not gotten student draft deferments. My critics/opponents have always used my getting student draft deferments against me big time. They have always hinted/implied/argued/shouted that if I had not gotten those deferments, in addition to my not graduating when I was 21, I would not have been able to a) earn an MBA when I was 27 and a master’s degree in accounting when I was 31, b) pass the CPA examination on my first attempt when I was 30 or the Certified Internal Auditor examination when I was 32, c) become a licensed CPA when I was 32, d) buy new cars when I was 19, 20, 25, 29, etc., c) buy real estate when I was 24, 25, 27, 29, and 35, or d) get married when I was 29.)

CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— Walmart’s DEI rollback signals a profound shift in the wake of Trump’s election victory (COMMENT: If American Presidents had been like Trump when I was young, my Democrat superiors in the federal government would have promoted me into their Senior Executive Service long before I was 40 years old years old notwithstanding a) my not earning an MBA until I was 27, b) my not passing the CPA examination until I was 30, c) my not earning a master’s degree in accounting until I was 31, and d) my not passing the Certified Internal Auditor examination and becoming a licensed CPA util I was 32.)
https://www.chicagotribune.com/2024/11/27/walmarts-dei/
— Newly improved FAFSA student aid application released following last year’s technical woes (COMMENT: Did you apply for financial aid? I did not because my father earned too much money – $50,000/year in today’s dollars. Did you apply for an academic scholarship? I did not because my ACT score was only 24 and I only just barely made it into the upper 20% of my class. Instead, I washed dishes part-time for the S.S. Kresge in Chicago Heights at $12.41/hour in today’s dollars and saved all the money that I could to pay for my college expenses at UIC and for a new 1966 Pontiac Tempest Sprint to commute to/from classes and parents’ home in Crete. Things got better financially when I started working part-time for the Park Forest Post Office in November of 1966 at $18.99/hour in today’s dollars. But my GPA suffered because instead of studying, I worked all the hours that I could delivering mail.)

— Trump wants to cut federal employees. I worked for the Democrats who ran GAO for almost 18 years, IRS almost 9 years, and the Post Office almost 3 years. I was always on my Democrat superiors’ lists of employees who they wanted cut. I was able to survive that long because 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 29, 32, 41, 45, 47, and 48, and d) a job-related professional license when I was 32. – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com
— How thankful are you? According to my critics/opponents, I have never been thankful enough. They have always attributed all my successes in life to my benefitting from discrimination against those who share their demographics: liberal/moderate, minority, female, younger, LGBTQ, veteran, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or have ancestors who have not been in America for a long time. In my defense, I stress that neither of my parents attended college, my father was only the first of my ancestors to earn a high school diploma, my mother never attended high school, and I had to work my way through college. I should write about my critics/opponents. I would focus on those who have lots of religious, government, political, and/or financial clout in Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois and have their operative and their dupes take many big adverse actions against me. I would focus on those whose parents had lots of money and bought them cars, paid for their college expenses, and got them jobs. – Dave Diersen

— Elon Musk publicized the names of government employees he wants to cut. It’s terrifying federal workers. (COMMENT: I worked for the Democrats who ran GAO for almost 18 years, IRS almost 9 years, and the Post Office almost 3 years. I was always on my Democrat superiors’ lists of employees who they wanted cut. I was able to survive that long because 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 29, 32, 41, 45, 47, and 48, and d) a job-related professional license when I was 32.)

— Federal employees fear being targeted online by Musk (COMMENT: What does Musk think of those who share your demographics? I was a federal employee for almost 30 years and I have been a federal retiree for more than 27 years. When I was in grade school, high school, and college, I never intended to be a federal employee. I should write about how I ended up being one.)

— ‘Disgusting’: Joe Walsh shreds Musk’s ‘dangerous’ attack on civil service
https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/disgusting-ex-gop-rep-shreds-elon-musk-s-dangerous-attack-on-civil-service/ar-AA1uSZTX
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Former Rep. Joe Walsh (R-IL) slammed tech billionaire and Donald Trump ally Elon Musk for publicly naming examples of government employees he will target for elimination. “Shame on anyone who doesn’t have a problem with the wealthiest man on the planet publicly sharing the individual names of government employees he wants fired,” wrote Walsh, who went from being a Tea Party activist to one of the most outspoken conservative opponents of Trump. “Calling them out by name. Disgusting. Dangerous.” Musk, who helped Trump run critical sections of his campaign in the election and now heads up a MAGA task force on how to cut government spending, made the threats against specific employees earlier this week, according to CNN.)
— Is this the list of federal employees whom Elon Musk, Vivek Ramaswamy may fire? Here’s the truth. (COMMENT: While I worked for the Democrats who ran the federal government for almost 30 years, I was always on their fire lists. In today’s dollars I earned $150,075/year when I was 49, $110,020/year when I was 31, $97,079/year when I was 25, $54,728/year when I was 22, and $18.09/hour when I was 16.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: The viral list stemmed from X and DOGE has not issued any such list. The information shared on the screenshot are also from government records. For example, an X post said, “Nancy Pelosi’s niece should not be paid $181,648.00 by the US Taxpayer to be the ‘Climate Advisor’ at HUD.”)

— Musk’s DOGE May Cut These Federal Agencies (COMMENT: Republicans ever-increasingly cut GAO while I worked for the Democrats who ran the agency 1980-1997. They ever-increasingly took their anger at Republicans out on me, one of the few Republicans in the agency. I should write a book about that. They forced me to suffer a $22,996 (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO. They delayed my promotions and never promote me beyond GS-13 even though I had earned a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980 and passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination and became a licensed CPA in 1981. They keep me off audits of IRS until 1986 when the GAO manager who had arranged for my transfer was finally able to assign me to audits of IRS and to promote me to GS-13. But in 1987, they forced him to retire, and in 1989, they threw me off audits of IRS forever, gave me an very bad job assignment, gave me very unfair performance expectations, gave me a very unfair performance appraisal, and ranked me at the bottom of my coworkers for pay-for-performance (PFP) purposes. They never again assigned me to audits of IRS, they always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for PFP purposes, and they forced me to retire in 1997 even though I had earned job-related professional certifications in 1990, 1994, 1996, and 1997 and a job-related master’s degree in 1997.)

In my defense, I stress that neither of my parents attended college, my father was only the first of my ancestors to earn a high school diploma, my mother never attended high school, and I had to work my way through college. I should write about my critics/opponents. I would focus on those who have lots of religious, government, political, and/or financial clout in Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois and have had their operatives and dupes take many big adverse actions against me. I would focus on those whose parents had lots of money and bought them cars, paid for their college expenses, and got them jobs.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Jonathan Baron, founder of Baron Public Affairs and host of “The Political Risk Brief,” said the emergence of this powerful conservative media ecosystem allowed Trump to bypass traditional outlets. His firm analyzed more than 16,000 references from Trump, Vice President-elect JD Vance, and 40 key advisers to identify the top influencers who make up this pro-Trump network. Baron’s firm then separated them into three groups of influencers—amplifiers, specialists, and mavericks—who are categorically anti-establishment. He spoke with The Daily Signal about his firm’s groundbreaking research and how these powerful influencers will shape campaigns and policymaking in the future. Listen to our conversation on this special interview edition of “The Daily Signal Podcast.”)

— Attending high school reunions could be one of life’s greatest blessings. (COMMENT: Does your high school have class reunions, and if so, will you attend its next one? If my 1966 Crete-Monee High School has a reunion in 2026, I will attend notwithstanding my not having been viewed as being college material back then. I spent my junior and senior years and the summer in between washing dishes for the minimum wage in the basement of the S.S. Kresge in Chicago Heights. My ACT score was only 24 and I only just barely made it into the upper 20% of my class. Neither of my parents had attended college. 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, and I had partial red/green color blindness. I was 1-A for the Vietnam War draft.)

CHIEF EXECUTIVE
— What Trump’s Win Means For Labor And Employment Law (COMMENT: How has EEOC impacted you? When I was 22 years old in 1971, Oldsmobile withdrew a job offer that I had accepted saying that it had just agreed to stop hiring Whites to settle an EEOC complaint. My Firestone Store boss rudely fired me because I had accepted that offer. Because I had to have a job, I accepted a job offer from IRS.)
https://chiefexecutive.net/what-trumps-win-means-for-labor-and-employment-law/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: President Trump will likely tap current EEOC commissioner Andrea Lucas to serve as chair. As with the NLRB, however, Lucas will find herself outnumbered by Democratic members on the Commission, three to one – a situation that will likely continue for some time. Upon attaining a Republican majority, the Commission may seek to roll back the collection of workplace demographic data and limit the agency’s interpretation of Title VII regarding protection for LGBTQ+ workers. An EEOC under Trump likely will also take a narrower view of what’s permissible under DEI initiatives.)

https://www.eeoc.gov/laws/guidance/questions-and-answers-enforcement-guidance-retaliation-and-related-issues
(FROM THE POSTING: What if the employer claims its challenged action was not motivated by retaliation? In many cases, an employer will present a non-retaliatory reason for the challenged action. The employer may assert that it acted for a legitimate and unrelated reason such as poor job performance, misconduct, or the individual’s lack of qualifications for the job. An employee may respond to these assertions by providing evidence that the employer’s explanation is actually a pretext for retaliation. If an employer’s explanation is shown to be false, a factfinder may infer retaliation.)

— About 20% of Americans get their news from social media influencers (COMMENT: Since January 1, 2005, my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters have included links to more than 500,000 articles. My critics/opponents do not like, if not despise, if not hate many, most, if not virtually all those articles, and especially those articles that promote the personal responsibility, traditional marriage and family, right to life, illegal drugs, Second Amendment, and/or equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) planks in the Republican Party platform. They want the Republican Party to dump those planks and dump those who support those planks. They destroy those like me who do not share their hatred against Trump. They destroy those like me who are not blindly loyal to them. They destroy those like me who they cannot manipulate or dominate, who refuse to glorify and praise them, who refuse to pander to them, who refuse to serve as one of their operatives or dupes, who refuse to coverup their wrongdoing, and/or who refuse to give them money. I should write about my critics/opponents. I would focus on those who continue to have lots of religious, government, political, and/or financial clout in Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois. I would focus on those who have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me lately.)

FROM ILLINOIS CENTER-RIGHT SOURCES
GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— Since 2015, hate-filled Trump-hating Trump-haters have ever-increasingly falsely demonized me, denigrated me, and condemned me as being a Trump loyalist. They stress the many demographics that I share with Trump: conservative, Republican, White, male, older, healthy, married, non-poor, draft avoider, Protestant, German American, and our ancestors have been in America for a long time. However, they know full-well that I have always been loyal to the Republican Party platform, but not to any candidate, elected official, or party leader. My critics/opponents demand blind loyalty and destroy those like me who refuse to give it to them. I should write about my critics/opponents. – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com
— What are your critics/opponents loyal to? My Democrat superiors in the federal government were blindly loyal to the Democrat Party platform. They did everything that they could to waste the careers of and to get rid of their Republican employees and especially those who were conservative, White, male, older, healthy, married, non-poor, draft avoider, Protestant, German American, and/or had ancestors had been in America for a long time. I should write about my Democrat superiors in the federal government. While I opposed their political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, religious discrimination, and national origin discrimination, I nevertheless carried out their direct orders to give preference to my Democrat subordinates who were minority, female, younger, disabled, unmarried, poor, veteran, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or had ancestors who had not been in America for a long time. But because that was not good enough for them, they wasted my career and forced me to retire when I was 49 in 1997. I should write about my subordinates and the preference that I gave them. – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com
— How do your critics/opponents frame you, that is, defame you? Mine stress that I am conservative, Republican, White, male, older, married, non-poor, draft avoider, Protestant, German American, my ancestors have been in America since 1844, union member for almost 12 years, federal employee for almost 30 years, federal retiree for more than 27 years, Crete resident 1948-1972, Wheaton resident since 1978, etc. to defame me as being a White supremacist, Nazi, KKK member, hater, racist, sexist, bigot, and even worse things. I should write about my critics/opponents. Better yet, I should sue them. – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com
— What do your critics/opponents do? Mine do the following now or will do the following when the “come out” in the future: promote dependency on government and charity, LGBTQ, abortion, mass/illegal immigration, booze, gambling, pot, and other vices, diminishment of Second Amendment rights, and/or Affirmative Action and DEI, that is, race and gender based preference giving, reparations, patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, religious discrimination, and national origin discrimination. I should write about my critics/opponents. I would focus on those who have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me. – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com
— How vulnerable are you? According to hate-filled Trump-hating Trump-haters, the more of the following that you are, the more vulnerable that you are: liberal/moderate, Democrat, Libertarian, Green, Independent, RINO, minority, female, LGBTQ, veteran, 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
— What is Trump’s position on GAO? GAO is less than a shell of what it once was. I worked for the Democrats who ran GAO 1980-1997. During that time, they used Republican-led budget cuts to get rid of GAO’s Republican employees like me who were conservative, White, male, older, non-veteran, Protestant, German American, and/or had ancestors who had been in America for a long time. I would not have survived until 1997 if I had not a) earned a master’s degree in business in 1976, b) passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, c) earned a master’s degree in accounting in 1980, d) passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt and became a licensed CPA in 1981, e) earned other job-related professional certifications in 1990, 1994, 1996, and 1997, and f) earned a master’s degree in finance in 1997. – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com
— Will Trump end Affirmative Action, DEI, and wokeism, that is, will Trump end race and gender based preference giving, patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, religious discrimination, and national origin discrimination? If he does, it will have a tremendous impact on the Illinois Republican Party, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Milton Township Republican Organization. Far too many leaders of the aforesaid reject the equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) plank in the Republican Party platform. – Dave Diersen

— Democrats say “Trump chooses loyalist Pam Bondi for attorney general pick after Matt Gaetz withdraws.” Since 2015, hate-filled Trump-hating Trump-haters have ever-increasingly falsely demonized me, denigrated me, and condemned me as being a Trump loyalist. They stress the many demographics that I share with Trump: conservative, Republican, White, male, older, married, non-poor, draft avoider, Protestant, German American, and our ancestors have been in America for a long time. However, they know full-well that I have always been loyal to the Republican Party platform, but not to any candidate, elected official, or party leader. My critics/opponents demand blind loyalty and destroy those like me who refuse to give it to them. I should write about my critics/opponents.)

People do not view federal employees and retirees favorably. Most commonly, people negatively stereotype federal employees as being overpaid, lazy, incompetent, inefficient, unmotivated, overly bureaucratic, and slow and as being so bad that they cannot get a job in the private sector. The aforesaid negative stereotyping constructively rendered my job-related bachelor’s degree, three master’s degrees, six professional certifications, and professional license worthless. Most commonly, people negatively stereotype federal retirees as people whose retirement benefits are far too generous. I should write a book about the aforesaid.)

— More young men are struggling financially. Here’s how that helped Trump win. (COMMENT: Under the Democrats, the future for young men is ever-increasingly bleak. I once was a young man. The Democrats who ran the Post Office in 1966, IRS in 1971, and GAO in 1980 hired me because they could not find a qualified Democrat, minority, female, younger person, or veteran who would take the job. The aforesaid Democrats promoted me in 1972, 1973, 1974, and 1986. They erroneously anticipated/expected that I would become a Democrat. But if I was a young man today, the aforesaid Democrats would not hire or promote me today because they are under even more pressure from Democrat leaders to hire and promote Democrat females. All my female coworkers who my Democrat superiors promoted over me were Democrats a) who had less work experience than I had, b) who had less education than I had, c) who had no professional certifications or fewer than I had, and/or d) who had no professional license like the one I had.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Her group had already issued a statement the morning after the election, criticizing Trump for “wanton attacks on journalists” and warning that his second administration could be a turning point for media freedom in the United States. Whether wanton or not, Trump has famously feuded with the press since his political career began eight years ago. He’s dubbed the media “fake news” and “the enemy of the people” while leading chants against reporters during his many political rallies. However, Trump arguably raised the temperature higher than ever this year. He made a dark joke earlier this month that a possible assassin would have to “shoot through the fake news” to get to him.)

Immigrant Justice Corps, meanwhile, is a New York-based charity that spent $20.2 million over the same period on a fellowship program placing recent college graduates at nonprofit organizations across the country to provide illegal migrants with legal services.)

— Critics of President-elect Trump’s plan to enlist the military to help deport illegal immigrants claim it will violate the Posse Comitatus Act of 1878. But that might not be the case. The 146-year-old PCA says that “except [as] expressly authorized by the Constitution or Act of Congress,” whoever “willfully uses any part of the Army, the Navy, the Marine Corps, the Air Force, or the Space Force as a posse comitatus … to execute the laws shall be fined … or imprisoned.”

HERITAGE FOUNDATION
— “Illegals must go,” Tom Homan, the incoming Border Czar, has declared—and he and President-elect Trump mean that literally. To the extent needed, other federal law enforcement agencies should be immediately directed by the president to help DHS agents. These measures, if combined with similar steps by cooperative state governments would provide an incentive for aliens to self-deport.

Agriculture companies and laborers fear raids; 42% of crop farmhands aren’t legally authorized to work in U.S. (COMMENT: Democrat and RINO leaders have always shouted that illegals take the bad jobs that Americans refuse to take. My critics/opponents have always shouted that. They have always made it very clear that they would never had taken the bad jobs that I took. I should write about my critics/opponents. I would focus on those whose parents had the most money, who bought them cars, who paid for their college expenses, and who got them jobs. My critics/opponents never had to take bad jobs. They never had to compete against illegals for bad jobs. If there had been as many illegals when I was young as there are now, they would have gotten the jobs that I got. The bad jobs I had enabled me to a) buy a 1958 Chevrolet Bel Air in 1964, b) buy a new 1966 Pontiac Tempest Sprint in 1966, c) buy a new 1968 Oldsmobile 442 in 1967, d) buy a new 1969 Dodge Charger SE in 1968, and e) pay for my college expenses at UIC 1966-1968 and NIU 1969-1970.)
