— ICE ad blitz aims to recruit local law enforcement officers to join deportation efforts. The campaign is part of ICE’s $30 billion initiative to hire 10,000 more deportation officers by the end of the year to supercharge deportations. DD: When I was 22 years old in 1971, I had to have a job. I was helping support my mother and brother. Oldsmobile had withdrawn a job offer that I had accepted saying it had just agreed to stop hiring Whites to settle an EEOC complaint. My Firestone Store boss had rudely fired me because I had accepted that offer. Because of that, I accepted a job offer from IRS. What if IRS had mot offered me a job, but instead, ICE had offered me a job?

— Pope Leo XIV Blesses Ice Block for ‘Climate Justice’ Drawing Conservative Backlash
https://pjnewsletter.com/pope-climate-justice-woke/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: When American Catholics learned there would finally be an American pope, many hoped for a return to traditional faith and spiritual leadership (you know, actual theology and moral guidance). Instead, Vatican watchers witnessed yet another bizarre spectacle this week that has conservative Catholics questioning what exactly their church leadership stands for anymore. The latest episode perfectly encapsulates why so many faithful feel abandoned by Rome—and boy, did they get a doozy. While Christians face persecution across the globe—from Islamic terror groups burning churches to believers being martyred for their faith—Pope Leo XIV found time for what he apparently considers more pressing matters.)

— What were your plans to earn a college degree? Because my parents lacked money, my plan to earn a college degree while I was a freshman and sophomore in high school was to enlist and to get one with the GI Bill. But when I started my junior year, I decided to earn a bachelor’s degree at UIC while living with my parents in Crete. I took a job washing dishes in Chicago Heights to earn money to buy a new car to commute in. I took college preparatory courses. I got an ACT score of 24. I graduated in the upper 20% of my class. UIC accepted me. I got a job working for the Park Forest Post Office. I took courses at UIC 1966-1968. I transferred to NIU in 1969. I graduated debt-free from NIU owning a 1969 Dodge Charger SE in 1970. – Dave Diersen

My career was harmed a) because I did not earn an MBA until I was 27, b) because I did not take and pass the CPA examination until I was 30, c) because I did not earn a master’s degree in accounting until I was 31, d) because I did not take and pass the Certified Internal Auditor examination until I was 32, e) because I did not become a licensed CPA until I was 32, f) because I did not earn additional professional certifications until I was 41, 45, 47, and 48, and g) because I did not earn a master’s degree in finance until I was 48. I did not accomplish the aforesaid sooner because I took only one graduate evening course at a time earning the aforesaid master’s degrees. I took only one course at a time because that was what I could afford and I wanted my Firestone Stores, IRS, and GAO jobs to be my main focus. I completed 16 graduate business courses at Loyola 1972-1976, 12 graduate accounting courses at DePaul 1976-1980, and 14 graduate finance courses at IIT 1992-1997. – Dave Diersen

IRS promoted me in 1972, 1973, and 1974 instead of minorities because of my performance appraisals and because I was taking graduate evening business courses while none of my minority coworkers were doing that. GAO promoted me in 1986 instead of a minority because of my performance appraisals and because I had earned an MBA in 1976, passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, earned a master’s degree in accounting in 1980, passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981, and became a licensed CPA in 1981 while none of my minority coworkers had done that. My Democrat GAO superiors forced me to retire when I was 49 in 1997 and replaced me with a minority.

— How do you view federal employees? While I worked for the Democrats who ran the federal government for almost 30 years, my critics/opponents always demonized me, denigrated me, and condemned me as being a non-essential federal employee. My critics/opponents in the Illinois Republican Party, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, Milton Township Republican Organization, TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois, and Illinois Center Right Coalition have always ignored, dismissed, belittled, and/or badmouthed what I did 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 and for IRS for almost 9 years, the last 5 1/2 years at the GS-12 Step 1-5 Levels, currently $99,069-$112,280/year. – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com
— How do you view federal employees and federal retirees? According to my critics/opponents, the federal government grossly overpaid me and my Civil Service Retirement System (CSRS) pension is much too generous. 1997, my GAO salary was $153,151/year in today’s dollars. My critics/opponents stress that while my Democrat GAO superiors forced me to retire when I was 49 years old in 1997, I have gotten a $66,780/year in today’s dollars CSRS pension since then, that is, I have suffered only an $86,371/year (56%) loss of income in today’s dollars since then, that is, I have suffered only a $2.4 million loss in income since 1997. In my defense, in 1997, I had three job-related master’s degrees (business, accounting, and finance), six-job-related professional certifications (accounting, internal auditing, fraud examination, government financial management, financial services auditing, and forensic accounting), and a job-related professional license (CPA). – Dave Diersen

So, why would any General or Admiral be opposed to or criticize the restoration of meritocracy in our military, and the accompanying dismantling of the social engineering and Diversity, Equity and Inclusion policies that have plagued our military and crippled its effectiveness for over two decades? Simple – because, after eight years of Obama and four years of Biden, many in the audience got where they are either directly through DEI policies or indirectly by being DEI cheerleaders, even as they knew deep in their hearts such policies were wrong and detrimental to the combat effectiveness of the formations they lead.)

— ICE Agents Rappel From Black Hawk Helicopters Into Chicago for Major Raid
https://www.newsweek.com/ice-rappel-black-hawk-helicopters-chicago-10809228
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Federal agents rappelled from a Black Hawk helicopter onto the rooftops of Chicago residential buildings, launching a sweeping immigration enforcement operation targeting suspected Tren de Aragua gang members, according to NewsNation. The operation, led by ICE with support from the FBI and U.S. Border Patrol, was designed to apprehend high-priority targets connected to the Venezuelan crime syndicate that U.S. authorities have accused of trafficking, violence, and other cross-border crimes. President Donald Trump signed an executive order in January designating Mexican drug cartels and other Latin American criminal groups like the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua as terrorist organizations. His administration is ramping up immigration enforcement operations in Chicago after he threatened to deploy the National Guard to quell crime in the city. Nearly 300 federal agents and officers descended upon a five-story apartment complex in Chicago’s South Shore neighborhood, where U.S. Border Patrol commander-at-large Gregory Bovino has claimed members of Tren de Aragua have been operating, according to NewsNation. The outlet reported that roughly 30 undocumented immigrants were taken into custody, several of them suspected of gang affiliation. Bovino told NewsNation that the operation proceeded “very smoothly” after federal officers and agents spent several days training for the targeted enforcement effort. Bovino, who is overseeing the ongoing operation in Chicago, added that residents of the South Side should expect an increased federal presence in the area.)

DAILY HERALD
— State lawmaker Terra Costa Howard to become DuPage County judge
https://www.dailyherald.com/20250923/news/state-lawmaker-howard-to-become-dupage-county-judge/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: State Rep. Terra Costa Howard is giving up her seat in the state House to become a DuPage County Circuit Court judge. The Illinois Supreme Court announced Tuesday it is appointing Howard as resident circuit judge, effective Oct. 17. Her term will end Dec. 7, 2026. She fills a vacancy left by the retirement of Judge Paul Fullerton. Howard, a Glen Ellyn Democrat, has served as a state representative since 2019, first for the 48th District and then the 42nd District. A spokesman confirmed Costa Howard is resigning, but said a date has not been set. Costa Howard has had a solo law practice since 2003. Before that, she worked in the DuPage County public defender’s office and as a staff attorney for the DuPage court. “From my first days of working in the Chief Judge’s office and the DuPage County Public Defender’s office, to my current role as State Representative, I have worked to serve the people of DuPage County,” Costa Howard said in a news release from the Illinois Supreme Court. “I believe that every step of my career has led me toward this new challenge, and I look forward to the prospect of bringing my experience — in law and in life — to the bench.” The state constitution prohibits . judges from holding elected office.)

OAK PARK
— Marijuana and traffic. Oak Park today, your municipality tomorrow.
https://www.oakpark.com/2025/09/23/marijuana-and-traffic/
(FROM THE LETTER: Oak Park residents are facing growing public safety concerns, and the situation seems to be worsening. At the intersection of Taylor and Adams, few vehicles comes to a full stop at crosswalks — just one example of how traffic laws are being routinely ignored. This puts pedestrians at serious risk, and it’s not an isolated issue. Another concern is the frequent smell of marijuana on Oak Park streets, especially from passing vehicles. While recreational cannabis is legal in Illinois, the pervasive odor — often near schools, parks, and residential areas — has become a public nuisance and, at times, a health issue. Yet Democratic leadership has shown little interest in addressing the unintended consequences of legalization. Compounding these problems is the rise in uninsured motorists. A friend of mine was recently rear-ended by an uninsured driver whose car smelled strongly of marijuana. Beyond the financial burden, the incident highlighted the danger of impaired, unaccountable drivers. The Illinois Supreme Court’s 2024 People v. Redmond decision, which ruled that the smell of cannabis alone does not justify legal action, has made it even harder for law enforcement to respond effectively.)

— Democrat leaders decry that “Charlie Kirk left young followers all over Trump’s government. A generation of young conservatives idolized Kirk. Many have since aged into Washington jobs.” I would not have become a postal employee when I was 18 in 1966 if my high school friend had not asked me to take the postal employment examination with him. 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.

— Trump’s DOJ argues against gun ban signed by Pritzker after Highland Park shooting. I argued pro se before the U.S. 7th Circuit Court of Appeals in Diersen v. Chicago Car Exchange in 1996.

https://www.chicagotribune.com/2025/09/22/president-donald-trumps-doj-argues-against-gun-ban-signed-by-gov-jb-pritzker-after-highland-park-shooting/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Trump’s Department of Justice weighed in Monday against the ban on high-powered firearms that Illinois and Pritzker passed after the Highland Park Fourth of July mass shooting in 2022 but found itself on the defensive as an appellate court justice grilled an assistant attorney general about whether “facts matter” as she tried to justify the administration’s position. In arguing before the U.S. 7th Circuit Court of Appeals, Harmeet Dhillon, the U.S. Justice Department’s assistant attorney general for civil rights, said the nation has a “strong interest” in ensuring that the Second Amendment’s right to bear arms is “not relegated to a second-class right” and criticized claims from state officials that certain guns covered by the ban are suited more for military operations than routine self-defense. But Judge Frank Easterbrook interrupted Dhillon early during the five minutes the court allowed her to speak even though the federal government is not a party to the case. Easterbrook noted the legal challenge from state officials resulted from a ruling by a district court in southern Illinois that determined the ban was unconstitutional, while a court in northern Illinois previously ruled a similar ban was legally sound. “Suppose the (southern Illinois) district court had found every contested issue of fact in favor of the state. Would that affect your review of the statute’s constitutionality?” asked Easterbrook, who was appointed to the bench in the 1980s by Republican President Ronald Reagan.)

— Far too many become political activists to promote their own personal interests. Far too many become leaders in Republican organizations to kill planks in the Republican Party platform that they reject. It all comes out in the wash. As time goes on, it is more and more and more obvious which planks in the Republican Party platform that my critics/opponents who led/lead the Illinois Republican Party (IRP), DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Milton Township Republican Organization (MTRO) reject. Most commonly, they reject the personal responsibility, traditional marriage and family, right to life, immigration, illegal drugs, Second Amendment, and/or equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) planks. As time goes on, because I promote the aforesaid planks, it becomes more and more and more obvious that my critics/opponents had their operatives and their dupes a) remove me from the IRP State Convention Platform and Resolutions Committee in 2024, b) end my service as the Republican fundraiser for Wheaton Independence Day parades and fireworks in 2021, c) gerrymander my precinct in 2015, d) end my TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois chairmanship in 2012, e) end my MTRO webmaster service in 2010 and 2004, f) end my Illinois Center Right Coalition (ICRC) Steering Committee membership in 2007, g) almost got ICRC to censure me for my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters in 2006, and h) defeat my bid to serve as MTRO Treasurer in 2004. My critics/opponents destroy those like me a) who they cannot manipulate or dominate, b) who refuse to glorify and praise them, c) who refuse to pander to them, d) who refuse to serve as one of their operatives or dupes, e) who refuse to cover up their wrongdoing, and/or f) who refuse to give them money. I should write about my critics/opponents who are still in the mix, who have had their operatives and their dupes take the most/biggest adverse actions against me, and the planks that they reject and why. Equal opportunity is the plank that they most commonly reject. – Dave Diersen

If/when Democrats start shooting Republicans, Democrats are going to lose. Republicans own a tremendous amount of firearms and ammunition.

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Charlie Kirk was 18 in the summer of 2012 when he walked into a Starbucks in the suburbs of Chicago and plopped his backpack on the floor. He had recently graduated from high school and was sorting out his future after being rejected from the U.S. Military Academy at West Point. He had come to meet a local Illinois group, Patriots United, focused on issues like lower taxes and choice in school education during the Tea Party era. Maida Korte, 71, a leader of the group, recalled that the conversation turned to their shared foundational Christian values, as it often did with him. “He never thought of it as, ‘I’m going to go into the spiritual arena and talk about political things,’” she said. “He was, ‘I want to talk about spiritual things, and in order to do that, I have to enter the political arena.’”)

In the aftermath of the conservative star’s death at 31, they’re preparing themselves to fight Kirk’s battles for years to come. One could compare and contrast today’s Washington DC with Chicago.

CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— FRONT PAGE TOP OF FOLD: Oath Keepers’ founder Stewart Rhodes convicted as part of Jan. 6 riot to speak to GOP-tied group, creating conflict in Geneva. Ever-increasingly, my anti-conservative critics/opponents in the Milton Township Republican Organization, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Illinois Republican Party hinted/implied/argued/shouted that TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois (Traditions And Principles Republicans Often Overlook Today) was a hate group. They ever-increasingly hinted/implied/argued/shouted that TAPROOT caused Republican candidates in Illinois to lose elections. I served as TAPROOT’s chairman 2005-2012. TAPROOT held breakfast meetings the third Saturday of every month except August when it held a picnic and December when it held a Christmas party. I invited all the speakers for all of its 78 events 2005-2012. I should list all those who spoke at TAPROOT events 2005-2012.

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Rhodes’ event is part of a series of talks, titled “Pints & Politics,” sponsored by the Geneva-based Three Headed Eagle Alliance, a group headed by Debbie Kanarowski, a member of the Illinois GOP State Central Committee. In heavily blue Illinois, where every statewide officeholder is a Democrat, the state’s Republican Party has continued to shift to the right, and segments of the party leadership have highlighted its more conservative voices.

— ICE offers big bucks — but California police officers prove tough to poach. My critics/opponents have always demonized me, denigrated me, and condemned me for my being an IRS Revenue Officer 1971-1980. In my defense, I would not have become an IRS Revenue Officer if Oldsmobile had not withdrawn a job offer that I had accepted saying that it had just agreed to stop hiring Whites to settle an EEOC complaint. My Firestone Store boss rudely fired me because I accepted that offer. I had to have a job because I was helping support my mother and brother.

NATIONAL DESK
— Ben Carson says Charlie Kirk ‘ran circles around people with college degrees.’ I should write about my critics/opponents who have used my having three master’s degrees (business, accounting, and finance), six professional certifications (accounting, internal auditing, fraud examination, government financial management, financial services auditing, and forensic accounting), and a professional license (CPA) against me the most. They stress that even with all the aforesaid, I was forced to retire when I was 49 in 1997 and I never earned more than $153,151/year in today’s dollars. They hint/imply/argue/shout that is because I bring it on myself, because I am an extremely bad person, and because I am even worse things. I should write about my critics/opponents.

HARVARD
— Meritocracy According to my critics/opponents, I owe none of my successes in life to meritocracy. According to them, I owe all my successes in life to my benefitting from discrimination against those who are liberal/moderate, non-Republican, minority, female, younger, LGBTQ, unmarried, veteran, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or have ancestors who have not been in America for a long time. 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.
