DAILY CALLER
— Bill filed that would require GAO to secure congressional approval before filing a civil lawsuit against the Trump administration. There are nearly 40 open GAO inquiries into Trump administration funding freezes, agency head Gene Dodaro said in April.
https://dailycaller.com/2025/06/30/exclusive-andy-harris-bill-defang-government-accountability-office/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: “President Trump was elected to disrupt the status quo and return power to the American people,” Harris said in a statement. “This bill protects President Trump from GAO overreach and ensures that the agency cannot be weaponized by the political establishment to obstruct President Trump’s agenda or to drag out baseless legal challenges designed to grind the Executive Branch to a halt.”)

— Democrat leaders ever-increasingly replace those who have demographics that vote for Republicans with those who have demographics that vote for Democrats. That is, Democrat leaders ever-increasingly replace those who are conservative, White, male, older, non-poor, Protestant, German American, and/or have ancestors who have been in America for a long time with those who are liberal/moderate, minority, female, younger, poor, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or have ancestors who have not been in America for a long time. I should write about the success that Democrat leaders have had doing that in DuPage County, Milton Township, Wheaton, Wheaton Warrenville School District 200, and my precinct. – Dave Diersen

I would focus on my critics/opponents whose parents had lots of money, who bought them cars, who paid for their college expenses, and who got them jobs. Instead of studying, I worked far too many hours a) washing dishes during my junior and senior years in high school and b) delivering mail while to took classes at UIC 1966-1968 and at NIU in 1969. – Dave Diersen

However, many Vietnam veterans still struggle with the long-term effects of their service, including PTSD and physical health issues related to Agent Orange exposure.)

CAPITOL NEWS ILLINOIS
— No one wants bad jobs. Because all the jobs that I had were viewed as being bad jobs, all my superiors had a hard time recruiting and retaining qualified minorities and females. Because of Affirmative Action and DEI, qualified minorities and females could get better jobs elsewhere. Consequently, my superiors ever-increasingly a) lowered their hiring, retention, and promotion standards and b) gave their minority and female employees more preference. That ever-increasingly rendered worthless my job-related bachelor’s degree, my three job-related master’s degrees, my six job-related professional certifications, and my job-related professional license. It all culminated in my superiors replacing me with my Black subordinate when I was 49 years old in 1997. He had less work experience than I had, less education than I had, one professional certification while I had six, and no professional license like the one I had.

The more of the following that you are, the more that you pay for AA and DEI: lower income, conservative, Republican, White, male, older, non-veteran, Protestant, German American, and/or have ancestors who have been in America for a long time. The more of the aforesaid that you are the, the more that Democrats and RINOs make you pay the price of affirmative Action. – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com
— All my employers, including GAO, IRS, and the Post Office, were Democrat Affirmative Action and DEI employers. That is, they all gave big time preference to their employees who were Democrat and minority, female, younger, veteran, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or had ancestors who had not been in been in America for a long time. That is, they all discriminated against their employees who were Republican and White, male, older, non-veteran, Protestant, German American, and/or had ancestors who had been in been in America for a long time.

I had worked for GAO for almost 18 years, the last 11 years of which at the GS-13 Step 1-10 Levels, currently $117,807-$153,151/year. I had earned a) a CPA license, b) master’s degrees in business, accounting, and finance, and c) professional certifications in accounting, internal auditing, fraud examination, government financial management, financial services auditing, and forensic accounting. 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.

THE HILL
— The NextGen Bar Exam is DEI in action, dangerously lowering standards. Every time that Democrat and RINO leaders lower standards, my having done the following means more. I passed the CPA and Certified Internal Auditor examinations on my first attempt. I became a licensed CPA. I earned four more job-related professional certifications. I earned three job-related master’s degrees. I earned a job-related bachelor’s degree.
https://thehill.com/opinion/education/5359119-the-nextgen-bar-exam-is-dei-in-action-dangerously-lowering-standards/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The American legal profession is in crisis, and the NextGen Bar Exam is the latest symptom of a disease that’s rapidly metastasizing: the abandonment of merit in favor of ideological box-checking. For decades, the bar exam was the last line of defense — a rigorous filter ensuring that only those with real legal chops could represent the public. Today, that filter is being shredded, sacrificed on the altar of equity and inclusion. The result? A collapse in standards, the death of meritocracy, and a profession on the brink of irrelevance. The NextGen Bar Exam, set to roll out in 2026, is not about modernizing legal education or making better lawyers. It is about making the exam easier to pass. Out go the demanding essays and complex legal analysis; in come more multiple-choice questions and “practical” scenarios that test little more than common sense and the ability to regurgitate buzzwords. The new mantra is “minimal competence,” a phrase so hollow as to be meaningless. The new system benefits neither clients, who deserve skilled and well-prepared advocates, nor the public, who depend on lawyers to guide them through a complex legal system. The only winners are bureaucrats and activists obsessed with “equity.” And even then, this is not to say that the new bar somehow guarantees equality of opportunity. Rather, it tries to force equality of outcome, no matter how much the universal bar must be lowered in the process. In truth, the NextGen Bar Exam is DEI ideology in action. By blaming the bar exam itself, rather than differences in preparation or effort, for unequal pass rates among various groups, the legal establishment has chosen to lower the standards until everyone passes. This is neither fairness nor justice, but the soft bigotry of low expectations, institutionalized. DEI has become a Trojan horse, smuggling mediocrity into the heart of the legal profession. Instead of demanding that all aspiring lawyers rise to meet high standards, the system now bends over backward to ensure that the standards themselves are erased. The message is clear: merit is out, identity is in. The legal profession was once a meritocracy. It didn’t matter where you came from or what you looked like — if you could master the law, you could make it. That’s what made American law great — it consisted of the best and brightest, tested and proven. Now, that ideal is being tossed aside. The NextGen Bar Exam is just the latest example, following major formatting changes to the LSAT to “reduce anxiety” and the proliferation of alternative “pathways” to licensure that bypass rigorous testing altogether. This isn’t just a legal education problem. It is a societal problem. When we stop rewarding excellence and start rewarding box-checking, we get a weaker, less competent, and less trustworthy profession. As a result, we end up with lawyers who lack essential skills in writing, reasoning, and effective advocacy, in turn, undermining the credibility of our justice system. If this trend continues, the outcome is inevitable: Clients will find themselves represented by lawyers who only managed to pass a watered-down exam. Our courts will be overwhelmed by incompetence, and the already fragile reputation of the legal profession will deteriorate further. Those who will suffer most are everyday Americans — people who need legal help, not just a participation trophy. The legal profession must wake up before it’s too late. Reform is acceptable and necessary when things are made better. But what’s happening now is not reform, it is surrender. Surrender to ideology and mediocrity. Surrender to the idea that the only way to achieve “equity” is to undermine true merit. The NextGen Bar Exam is a disaster in the making. It is time for lawyers, judges, educators, and the public to speak out and demand a return to merit, rigor, and excellence. The fate of the legal profession and the trust of those it serves now hang in the balance.)

(FROM TRHE ARTICLE: The old civil service exam was introduced in 1955, a proctored, pencil-and-paper test that thousands of Americans took each year to get federal jobs. It was called the Federal Service Entrance Examination. A brochure called “Futures in the Federal Government” opened with these words: “Wanted: People of Promise” and urged Americans to take the exam. Starting salaries were listed at $4,040. The civil service exam is making a comeback. The old test was eventually thrown out after legal challenges found that it discriminated against minority groups, who did poorly.)

http://www.allgov.com/news/unusual-news/us-government-brings-back-civil-service-exams-after-34-year-gap-150407?news=856171
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Joining the federal workforce these days can involve doing something other federal workers haven’t had to do since the early 1980s: take a test. The federal government abolished the civil service exam in 1981 following multiple discrimination lawsuits that claimed the test was biased against minorities. But with so many people applying to become federal employees, some agencies decided to bring back the civil service exam, albeit in a much newer and modern format that tries to avoid being unfair to blacks and Hispanics. About 10% of would-be bureaucrats at three dozen government agencies—including the departments of Defense, Justice, and Health and Human Services—will take the USA Hire test that utilizes “animated avatars and videos to simulate challenges that could confront employees, testing their reasoning and problem-solving skills,” Lisa Rein wrote at The Washington Post. “Advances in technology allow the tests to scale questions; a correct answer leads to a harder question and an incorrect one ratchets down to an easier option. Scoring is instantaneous, an advance that can quickly winnow the pool of applicants,” Rein said. The test is designed to gauge an applicant’s general aptitude as well as teamwork, problem solving, judgment and specific job skills. Civil service exams originated in 1955 as the Federal Service Entrance Examination. At that time, starting salaries for federal employment were $4,040.)

— Ex-dairy owner Jim Oberweis to fundraise in Kane County Sunday for Florida Congressional run. But local GOP chief would like to keep political money in Illinois: ‘I’m concerned with Kane County, not with Naples, Florida.’
https://www.shawlocal.com/news/2025/06/21/ex-dairy-owner-jim-oberweis-to-fundraise-in-kane-county-sunday-for-florida-congressional-run/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Former Illinois State Sen. Jim Oberweis is returning to Kane County for a fundraiser to support his run for Congress in Florida’s 19th District. Oberweis, formerly of Sugar Grove, is running in the 2026 Republican primary seat on Florida’s southern Gulf Coast being vacated by Byron Donalds in the 2026 primary election. The fundraiser is from 5 to 6:30 p.m. Sunday at the Dunham Woods Riding Club, 33W333 Army Trail Road in Wayne, according to the invitation. According to the invitation, the guest speaker will be Corey Brooks, known as Chicago’s “Rooftop Pastor,” who delivered a prayer at the 2024 Republican National Convention in Milwaukee. Individual tickets for the Oberweis fundraiser are $250, available through RSVP@VoteJimO.com. No one from the campaign could be reached for comment. (COPY OF THE INVITATION)  Even though he received an invitation, Kane County GOP Chairman Andro Lerario said he isn’t going. “With all due respect to Jim Oberweis – I like him, he’s a nice man – I’m concerned with Kane County, not with Naples, Florida,” Lerario said. “My issue is, he’s running for a position in Florida,” Lerario said. “I’ve already gone through two different situations in our party where, during the last election year, we had our own people do fundraisers in Kane County for Kari Lake and General [Michael] Flynn.” Lake lost her bid to represent Arizona in the U.S. Senate and Flynn was raising money for a conservative nonprofit, America’s Future. Both fundraisers were held last year in St. Charles, records show. “These were very successful. Then they left Kane County,” Lerario said. “I don’t need another fundraiser that is going to take money out of Kane County when I have enough issues going on here. Do it in that state or that county, not here. With all due respect, we could use the money.” Oberweis, aside from being famous for ice cream, is also known for losing more elections than he has won. He lost a bid for the Illinois 14th Congressional District to Democrat Lauren Underwood in 2020. In 2008, Oberweis lost twice to Democrat Bill Foster, first in a special election for the remainder of J. Dennis Hastert’s seat and then in the general election. In 2006, Oberweis lost the GOP primary for Illinois governor. In 2002 and 2004, he lost Republican primaries in Illinois for U.S. Senate. In 2012, Oberweis won for the 25th District seat in the Illinois Senate and served two terms. In 2014, he won the GOP primary for U.S. Senate, but lost in the general election to incumbent U.S. Sen. Dick Durbin, who recently announced he won’t seek reelection next year. Last year, the dairy that bears Oberweis’ family name filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. He had left the company in 2007 when he passed Oberweis Dairy on to his son.)

NPR ILLINOIS
— Trump’s makeover of the Civil Service has made it easier to fire federal employees. For Democrat leaders, the federal government exists to hire, retain, and promote Democrats, and especially Democrats who are minority, female, younger, and/or veteran. For Democrat leaders, federal employees are their Patronage Army. The Democrats who ran GAO in 1980, IRS in 1971, 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 that I would become a Democrat, but I refused to do that. I carried out their orders to give preference to my Democrat subordinates, virtually all of whom were minority, female, younger than me, and/or veteran. But because I ever-increasingly complained about their political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination, they ever-increasingly took more and bigger adverse actions against me. I should write a book about the aforesaid.

In 1980, I was one of the last Republicans they hired. By 1997, I was one of the extremely few Republicans remaining in the office. They would have succeeded in getting rid of me sooner if I had not a) earned job-related master’s degrees in 1997, 1980, and 1976, b) earned job-related professional certifications in 1997, 1996, 1994, 1990, 1981, and 1979, and c) earned a job-related professional license in 1981.

If I was still working for them, because of the bombing, they would have had my Jewish superior and supervisor kill me figuratively if not literally. In 1980, I was one of the last Republicans they hired. By 1997, I was one of the extremely few Republicans remaining in the office. They would have succeeded in getting rid of me sooner if I had not a) earned job-related master’s degrees in 1997, 1980, and 1976, b) earned job-related professional certifications in 1997, 1996, 1994, 1990, 1981, and 1979, and c) earned a job-related professional license in 1981. I should write about the aforesaid.

— New federal pension system would put more burden on new employees. I worked for the federal government 1966-1969 and 1971-1997. Federal employees hired before 1989 were under the Civil Service Retirement System (CSRS) . Those hired after 1989 are under the less generous Federal Employees Retirement System (FERS). That ever-increasingly made FERS employees resent, despise, if not hate CSRS employees. I should write about that.

— For Democrat leaders, the federal government exists to hire, retain, and promote Democrats, and especially Democrats who are minority, female, younger, and/or veteran. For Democrat leaders, federal employees are their Patronage Army. The Democrats who ran GAO in 1980, IRS in 1971, 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 that I would become a Democrat, but I refused to do that. I carried out their orders to give preference to my Democrat subordinates, virtually all of whom were minority, female, younger than me, and/or veteran. But because I ever-increasingly complained about their political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination, they ever-increasingly took more and bigger adverse actions against me. I should write a book about the aforesaid.

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Donald Trump is bulldozing through decades of nonpartisan federal employment protections in a brazen attempt to transform the entire government workforce into a cadre of personal loyalists, according to alarmed federal workers and public service watchdogs. The authoritarian makeover would obliterate longstanding precedent requiring federal hiring and promotion based on qualifications and experience—replacing it with ideological purity tests that prioritize devotion to Trump over competence or constitutional duty. “These employees could be replaced with partisan loyalists — people who will obey any order, regardless of the Constitution,” warned Joe Spielberger of the Project on Government Oversight, told the Washington Post. “This elevates loyalty to an individual president over the oath of office and the best interests of the public.” Trump’s radical restructuring includes forcing new federal workers to accept easily-fired “at-will” status or pay higher retirement contributions. Even more disturbing, job applicants must now write essays explaining how they’ll advance Trump’s personal agenda—a chilling loyalty test reminiscent of authoritarian regimes. The administration’s “Merit Hiring Plan” requires candidates to answer: “How would you help advance the President’s Executive Orders and policy priorities in this role?” the Post reported. The article added that federal workers are horrified by the transparent political screening. “That memo details this administration’s sordid strategy to turn a nonpartisan federal workforce into a merry band of MAGA loyalists,” said Aisha Coffey, an FDA communications specialist who was fired and is now on administrative leave. “The directive is clear: The civil service is to serve the president, first and foremost, and the American population last.”

BLOOMBERG
— House GOP Drafts Cuts to Federal Employee Pension System. According to critics/opponents, my Civil Service Retirement System (CSRS) pension (currently $66,780/year) is much too generous. They decry that it would be even higher if my Democrat superiors a) had not forced me to retire when I was 49 years old in 1997, b) had not delayed my promotions and never promoted me beyond GS-13, and c) had not forced me to resign when I was 20 years old in 1969. They remain furious that I got full-time CSRS credit while I worked for the Park Forest Post Office 1966-1969 while I worked only part-time and that I got CSRS credit for my unused sick days. In my defense, while I worked for the federal government, I earned a job-related bachelor’s degree, three job-related master’s degrees, six job-related professional certifications, and a job-related professional license.

— American value shines in spite of flaws, past sins. Ever-increasingly, if you are a Republican, the longer that your ancestors have been in America, the more that Democrat and RINO leaders demonize you, denigrate you, and condemn you as being a racist, sexist, bigot, and even worse things.

CATHOLIC WORLD REPORT
— America should stay out of Israel’s war with Iran. What if America had stayed out of Vietnam? The Vietnam War had a tremendous impact on me. Starting when I was 18 years old in 1966, my critics/opponent have used my avoiding the Vietnam War draft against me big time. They stress that I was 1-A. They stress that I would not have been sent into combat because I could not run because I had a bone disease, because my eyesight could not be corrected to 20/20, and because I had partial red/green color blindness.

FEDERAL NEWS NETWORK
— OPM seeks quicker discipline for poor performers. My critics/opponents have always hinted/implied/argued/shouted that my Democrat and RINO superiors took so many big adverse actions against me because I am a poor performer and even worse things. In my defense, I earned a bachelor’s degree in management in 1970.  I earned a master’s degrees in business in 1976, accounting in 1980, and finance in 1997. I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979. I passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981. I became a licensed CPA in 1981. I earned four more job-related professional certifications in 1990, 1994, 1996, and 1997.

SERVING THOSE WHO SERVE
— New Legislation Would Cut Your Federal Retirement Benefits. My critics/opponents have always demonized, denigrated, and condemned my Civil Service Retirement System (CSRS) pension (currently $66,780/year) and my 72% federal health insurance subsidy as being far too generous. In my defense, I worked for the federal government for almost 30 years. During that time, I paid 7% of my salary into the CSRS. I earned a job-related bachelor’s degree when I was 21. I earned job-related master’s degrees when I was 27, 31, and 48. I earned job-related professional certifications when I was 30, 32, 41, 45, 47, and 48. I earned a job-related professional license when I was 32. If my Democrat GAO superiors had not forced me to retire when I was 49 in 1997, I might still be paying into the CSRS instead of getting a CSRS pension.

I would focus on my Democrat superiors in the Post Office, Firestone Stores, IRS, and GAO who were veterans. I would focus on the adverse actions that they would not have taken against me if I had not been a 1-A Republican who avoided the Vietnam War draft with student draft deferments 1966-1970 and a financial hardship draft deferment 1970-1971. I would focus on those who stressed that I avoided the draft even though I would not have been sent into combat because I could not run because I had a bone disease, because my eyesight could not be corrected to 20/20, and because I had partial red/green color blindness.

CPA PRACTICE
— 11 CPA Candidates Take Home Elijah Watt Sells Award for 2024. More than 74,000 individuals sat for the CPA exam last year, but only 11 met the criteria to receive the prestigious Elijah Watt Sells Award from the AICPA and NASBA. Politics is nasty/vicious. I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt. Only about 20% who take the examination can say that. But my critics/opponents stress that others got better scores than I did. Very few CPAs become licensed CPAs. But I did.

CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— Don’t lower the bar for Illinois students. All during the almost 30 years that I worked for the Democrats who ran the federal government, they lowered the bar to hire, retain, and promote Democrats, and especially 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. That ever-increasingly rendered worthless my job-related bachelor’s degree, three master’s degrees, six professional certifications, and professional license.

Further, the Democrat Party has decided that to win elections, it will ever-increasingly replace those in America who are conservative, Republican, American, White, male, older, heterosexual, married, non-poor, Protestant, German American, and/or have ancestors who have been in America for a long time with those who are liberal, Democrat, citizen of a foreign country, minority, female, younger, LGBTQ, unmarried, poor, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or have ancestors who have not been in America for a long time.

— 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.
