— Kevin Coyne, Chairman, DuPage GOP: DuPage GOP wants election, vote-by-mail system review
https://www.chicagotribune.com/2025/11/28/letters-naperville-data-center-election-mcit-reopen/
(FROM THE LETTER: The DuPage GOP calls for an immediate public hearing on the topic of election integrity, our voter rolls and the process by which vote-by-mail ballots are being distributed, collected and counted. We believe the DuPage County clerk’s office should make itself available to participate and to answer respectful questions about election integrity. We welcome the participation of the League of Women Voters and DuPage County’s Democratic Party in this public hearing should it proceed. Confidence in the integrity of our elections is at an all-time low. It’s abundantly clear there are a great many DuPage voters who do not trust vote-by-mail and who believe games are being played with how these ballots are distributed, collected and counted. General questions about our voter rolls also continue to persist. Let’s talk about these concerns openly, transparently and publicly. We will keep all questions respectful and sincere. We hope this call is accepted by the clerk’s office. We also hope the other mentioned stakeholders participate. We call on this hearing to take place within 90 days and before the 2026 primary.)

They have never forgiven me for my being a union member for almost 12 years. According to them, my salary would never had increased from $19.37/hour (GS-4) to $112,280/year (GS-12 Step 5) in today’s dollars if I had not been a union member. But during that time, I earned a bachelor’s degree in management, I earned an MBA, I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt, and I earned a master’s degree in accounting.

https://www.opm.gov/news/secrets-of-opm/everyone-has-a-plan-until-you-step-into-the-ring/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: For most of this year, the government has been operating under a series of hiring initiatives. Most notably, the president set a target of four reductions for every one new hire into government. We exceeded this goal – the government hired roughly 68,000 people this year, while approximately 317,000 employees left the government. . .First, we want to make sure the government has the right talent focused on the key priorities of the administration and that we are eliminating wasteful taxpayer expenses in areas that are inefficient, no longer required, or in direct contradiction of administration priorities. Simply put, we want agencies to focus their headcount resources on the most critical objectives that deliver maximum value to the taxpayer.)

MSN
— News from outside disappears in North Korea. DD: I should write about my critics/opponents who have worked the hardest since 2000 to stop me from sending out GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters. 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 had their operatives and their dupes take the most/biggest adverse actions against me lately.
https://www.msn.com/en-ca/money/topstories/news-from-outside-disappears-in-north-korea/ar-AA1R50NS
(FROM THE ARTICLE: For two hours every day, Lee Si-young and her colleagues broadcast uncensored foreign news into authoritarian North Korea. Her radio audience could go to jail if caught listening. Lee’s Seoul-based Free North Korea Radio station has tried for two decades to give real-time news to North Korea’s 26 million people. But Lee says she now feels a sense of crisis about her work as big government-funded broadcasters in the United States and South Korea have fallen silent this year because of major funding cuts and policy changes. “Our frustrations with the U.S. and South Korean governments are growing over their suspensions of radio broadcasts,” said Lee, a defector who heads the small, nongovernmental FNK radio station. “We’re afraid that they’ve abandoned North Korean residents.” Major channels broadcasting into North Korea fall silent. In North Korea, all radio and TV sets are fixed to state-run channels. But defectors have testified that they modified their radios or used smuggled ones to covertly tune in to foreign broadcasts at night for news their government didn’t want them to hear. That includes outside perspectives of the North’s ruling Kim dynasty, more affluent and freer Western lifestyles, and success stories about defectors.)

— John Fogerty ‘troubled’ by President Trump’s use of ‘Fortunate Son,’ issues cease and desist. DD: Since 1966, my critics/opponents have used against me big time my avoiding the Vietnam War draft. I was classified 1-A for the draft in 1966, but I got student draft deferments 1966-1970 and a financial hardship draft deferment 1970-1971. But I was not a fortunate son. I had to work my way through college. To have money for college and for cars I did yard work 1962-1964. I delivered newspapers 1962-1966. I washed dishes 1964-1966. I cleaned golf shoes, chipped slag, and pumped gasoline in 1966. I delivered mail 1966-1969. I worked on an automotive assembly line in 1970. I did not appeal my 1-A draft classification, but what if I had done that? I could not run because I had a bone disease. My eyesight could not be corrected to 20/20. I had red/green color blindness.
https://www.usatoday.com/story/entertainment/music/2020/10/16/john-fogerty-troubled-president-trump-fortunate-son/3686095001/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Fogerty went on to explain that “Fortunate Son” is ironically an anti-war-movement anthem that criticizes privileged people who used their money and status to defer from the Vietnam War draft. The song has been treated as a patriotic working-class anthem, but listen past its star-spangled opening lines — “Some folks are born made to wave the flag/Ooh, they’re red, white and blue” — for Fogerty’s anti-establishment storytelling about how the poor were sent to fight and die in Vietnam while the wealthy were spared.)
— DD: Not all Americans agree on free speech. My critics/opponents certainly do not. According to my Democrat superiors in the federal government, I was not free to speak out against their patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination. According to RINO leaders of the Illinois Republican Party, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Milton Township Republican Organization, I am not free to speak out against Democrat promotion of dependency on government, LGBTQ, abortion, mass/illegal immigration, illegal drugs, 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 national origin discrimination.

WALL STREET JOURNAL
— Disobeying Military Orders Is Full of Risk. The military code strongly favors obedience. Orders are presumed to be lawful. DD: While I worked for the Democrats who ran IRS 1971-1980 and GAO 1980-1997, I never disobeyed their orders to give preference to my subordinates who were Democrat, minority, female, younger than me, and/or veteran. I gave them lots of preference. But that was not good enough for my Democrat superiors. Because I complained about their political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination, they ever-increasingly wasted my career, ever-increasingly took more and bigger adverse actions against me, and ultimately forced me to retire when I was 49 years old in 1997.

I was able to do the aforesaid because I took bad jobs that my peers would not stoop to take. I did yard work 1962-1964. I delivered newspapers 1962-1966. I washed dishes 1964-1966. I cleaned golf shoes, chipped slag, and pumped gasoline in 1966. I delivered mail 1966-1969. I worked on an automotive assembly line in 1970. I sold tires, automotive services, and major appliances 1971-1972. I pumped more gasoline 1971-1972. I collected delinquent taxes starting in 1971. But according to my critics/opponents, I was only able to accomplish the aforesaid starting when I was 18 in 1966 because I avoided the Vietnam War draft.

— EEOC Issues Technical Assistance on Protecting US Workers. DD: How bad are your demographics? My demographics are very bad. I am conservative, Republican, White, male, older, non-veteran, non-poor, Protestant, German American, and my ancestors have been in America since 1844.
https://www.shrm.org/advocacy/eeoc-issues-technical-assistance-on-protecting-us-workers
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) has issued a technical assistance document titled “Discrimination Against American Workers Is Against the Law.” Under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, it is unlawful to discriminate against people based on race, color, sex, national origin, or religion — collectively known as protected characteristics. This is part of the EEOC’s continued focus on bias against U.S. workers. On Feb. 19, Andrea Lucas, then-acting chair of the EEOC, stated, “The EEOC is putting employers and other covered entities on notice: if you are part of the pipeline contributing to our immigration crisis or abusing our legal immigration system via illegal preferences against American workers, you must stop.” The EEOC’s new technical assistance highlights that anti-American national origin discrimination is prohibited under Title VII. The document outlines that employment policies, programs, or practices may be unlawful if motivated, in whole or in part, by people’s national origin, even that of U.S. citizens. Examples include discriminatory job advertisements that favor certain visa holders; unequal treatment in hiring, firing, promotions, or assignments; and workplace harassment that creates a hostile or abusive environment. For HR professionals, this technical assistance document reinforces the agency’s focus on enforcing national origin discrimination under Title VII, even though the underlying law has not changed. Employers should review policies and practices that may previously have gone unnoticed. The EEOC’s updated materials provide an opportunity for HR professionals to revisit policies, training, and communications to mitigate compliance risk.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Certifications like CPA and CFA require rigorous exams and experience, but can lead to career advancement. . .Mastering the Certified Public Accountant (CPA) License. Though technically not a certification, the certified public accountant (CPA) license is a powerful differentiator in tax preparation, business planning, and financial analysis. A CPA can represent clients before the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), typically a privilege reserved for attorneys or enrolled agents. Additionally, certified public accountants often pursue significant operational roles in companies. These roles may be the chief financial officer (CFO) or the chief operating officer (COO). Finally, CPAs are well-versed in the double-entry system of accounting, making them highly proficient in financial statement analysis.)

Nevertheless, I continue to have the ability, motivation, experience, time, and money to spend 10+ hours each and every day putting GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters together and sending them out. When I was 25 years old in 1974, my Democrat IRS superiors used up-or-out to write me off as being too old to be promoted to GS-13. They would not have done that if I had been a Democrat, minority, female, or veteran. I ultimately made GS-13 when I was 38, but not until after I had earned an MBA when I was 27, passed the CPA examination on my first attempt when I was 30, transferred to GAO and 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.

— Media did Biden’s bidding. Now they freak out over Trump. DD: My critics/opponents who have had their operatives and their dupes take adverse actions against me demand blind loyalty. They destroy those like me who they cannot manipulate or dominate, who refuse to glorify and paise them, who refuse to pander to them, who refuse to serve as one of their operatives or dupes, who refuse to cover up their wrongdoing, and/or who refuse to give them money. They reject some, many, most, virtually all, if not all conservative principles and planks in the Republican Party platform. Most commonly, they reject its 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. I should write about my critics/opponents. I would focus on those who continue to have lots of clout and have had their operatives and their dupes take the most/biggest adverse actions against me lately.

— A federal court on Wednesday ruled that President Donald Trump and his former attorney Alina Habba are responsible for a nearly $1 million penalty tied to their lawsuit against Hillary Clinton and James Comey, as well as several other defendants. The court described it as a “frivolous” lawsuit, which Trump filed in 2022 in connection to Russian collusion allegations. DD: I sued GAO in 1998. SEE: https://gopillinois.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/DiersenGAOFifthAmendedComplaint.pdf GAO never succeeded in getting the court to dismiss my lawsuit. But GAO did succeed in getting the court to grant GAO summary judgment, that is, GAO succeeded in getting the court to deny me my 7th Amendment rights. GAO hinted/implied/argued/shouted that no jury would ever rule in my favor. I have very bad jury appeal. I am conservative, Republican, White, male, older, non-veteran, non-poor, Protestant, German American, and my ancestors have been in America since 1844. How bad is your jury appeal?

They certainly used AA and DEI to waste my career and to get rid of me. All my coworkers who they promoted over me were Democrats who were minority, female, younger than me, and/or veteran.

When I was 49 years old in 1997, they forced me to retire and gave my job and my preferred corner office to my Black subordinate who had less work experience than I had, who had less education than I had, who had one professional certification while I had six, and had no professional license like the one I had.

— Two members of the Illinois National Guard said they would refuse orders to carry out the Trump administration’s long-stated goal of sending federal troops into Chicago. DD: Have you refused orders? I have not. Democrats run the federal government. Virtually all federal employees are Democrats. While I worked for IRS 1971-1980 and for GAO 1980-1997, all of my subordinates were Democrats who were minority, female, younger, veteran, disabled, and/or had major performance problems. I never refused orders to give them preference. I gave them lots of preference. But that was not enough for my Democrat superiors. Because I complained about their political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination, they ever-increasingly wasted my career, ever-increasingly took more and bigger adverse actions against me, and ultimately forced me to retire when I was 49 years old in 1997.

Divided we fall,’” he said, referring to the biblical quote that Abraham Lincoln espoused. “The question is to find what unites us. I think this whole health care issue should unite us.” Also at the party: Former Congressman Bob Dold, GOP Senate Leader John Curran, GOP House Leader Tony McCombie, State Sens.

I majored in management at UIC, NIU, and Loyola. But in retrospect, with benefit of hindsight, I should have majored in accounting. I did not because I erroneously thought I could never pass the CPA examination. I did not start taking graduate accounting courses until I was 27 in 1976. I did not take and pass the CPA examination on my first attempt until I was 30. I did not earn a master’s degree in accounting until I was 31. I did not take and pass the Certified Internal Auditor examination until I was 32. I did not become a licensed CPA until I was 32. By then, the accounting profession viewed me to be too old to have a successful career in accounting. The accounting profession would not have done that if I had been a minority or a female.

When Republicans cut federal budgets, Democrats use those cuts to get rid of their Republican employees starting with those who are White, male, older, or nonveteran. While I worked for the Democrats who ran GAO 1980-1997, Republicans ever-increasingly cut GAO’s budget. I never would have survived for almost 18 years if I had not earned three job-related master’s degrees, earned six job-related professional certifications, and earned a job-related professional license.

— Five stages of job loss. DD: My Democrat GAO superiors’ success in forcing me to retire when I was 49 years old in 1997 continues to have a tremendous negative impact on me. I had earned job-related master’s degrees when I was 48, 31, and 27. I had earned job-related professional certifications when I was 48, 47, 45, 41, 32 and 30. I had earned a job-related professional license when I was 32. 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 would have been eligible for regular retirement when I was 55. My Civil Service Retirement System pension is dramatically less. The stigma of being forced to retire early is tremendous.
https://www.mercurynews.com/2025/11/17/jill-on-money-five-stages-of-job-loss/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: “Jobs create structure and routine, they provide an outlet for talent, social connection and a sense of safety and control,” she said. So even if you are prepared for a potential cut, the emotional impact is significant. Melnick invoked Dr. Elisabeth Kübler-Ross’s “Five stages of grief”: denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance, as a way to understand why a job loss can be so devastating.)

They destroy those like me who they cannot manipulate or dominate, who refuse to glorify and paise them, who refuse to pander to them, who refuse to serve as one of their operatives or dupes, who refuse to cover up their wrongdoing, and/or who refuse to give them money. They reject some, many, most, virtually all, if not all conservative principles and planks in the Republican Party platform. Most commonly, they reject its 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. I should write about my critics/opponents.

— The Chinese military is here and ready. Are we?
https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2025/11/the_chinese_military_is_here_and_ready_are_we.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Those of us paying attention noticed that among the illegals flowing over our borders during Biden’s Handlers’ term were thousands—perhaps tens of thousands—of military aged, fit Chinese men. We also took note that no one enters or leaves China without the commie’s consent, and the people showing up at our borders didn’t walk across the Pacific. The Biden DHS was eventually forced to grudgingly admit that at least some of those guys just might be members of the Chinese military. They didn’t inform us what they did with them, so we can reasonably believe most, if not all, remain in American and we have no idea of their locations or identities. We also know China, through various cutouts, has been buying up large swaths of American farmland, and plenty of that adjacent to military installations. The Bidenites were unconcerned, even helpful to the commies. Sure, a few congressmen raised alarms, but our number one international “competitor” undergoing a massive military buildup to include intercontinental ballistic nuclear missiles, continues to buy land in places that allow them to spy on our military installations—and worse. In Terrorist attacks in America: just a matter of time? in July of last year I noted then tens or hundreds of Islamist terrorists in America would be most likely to carry out close range attacks on civilians, while the Chinese military would likely focus on sabotage of our water, electric and communication hubs and our military capabilities. Commander Salamander points out one highly likely target: Whitman Air Force Base in Missouri. Why Whitman? It’s our sole B2 Stealth Bomber base, housing our 19 remaining B2s. One would think our CONUS–Continental US—military installations would be very secure. Most aren’t. Security consists largely of a few entrance facilities/gates guarded by a few military police officers and huge expanses of land secured only with tall chain link fences and reaction forces of military police in lightly armored vehicles. Some facilities have motion detectors and video cameras, but that’s not universal.)

— Disparate impact is equal outcome. DD: Equal outcome is the opposite of equal opportunity. To get more votes from minorities and from women, Democrat and RINO leaders fight for equal outcome instead of for equal opportunity. To fight for equal outcome is to fight against equal opportunity. According to Democrat and RINO leaders, if Whites and men do better at something, it is because they benefitted from discrimination against minorities and against females. I became a licensed CPA. I passed the CPA and Certified Internal Auditor examinations on my first attempt. I earned four other job-related professional certifications. I earned three job-related master’s degrees. Because few minorities and few females have done that, Democrat and RINO leaders have especially shouted at minorities and at females that I was able to do the aforesaid because I benefitted from discrimination against minorities and against females. In my defense, I stress that neither of my parents attended college. That my father was only the first of my ancestors to earn a high school diploma. That my mother never attended high school. That I had to work my way through college.

— Administration again denies FEMA disaster relief for Illinois, Pritzker says. Officials in jurisdictions led by Democrats have viewed the denials of aid as politically driven. DD: I worked for the Democrats who ran the federal government for almost 30 years. All their employment decisions were politically driven. 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. My Democrat Post Office superiors forced me to resign in 1969 so that they could hire a Democrat, minority, female, younger person, or veteran to replace me. My Democrat IRS superiors refused to promote me to GS-13 so that they could promote one of my Democrat, minority, female, younger, or veteran coworkers instead of me. My Democrat GAO superiors refused to promote me to GS-14 so that they could promote one of my Democrat, minority, female, younger, or veteran coworkers instead of me. My Democrat GAO superiors forced me resign in 1997 so that they could give my job and my preferred corner office to my Black subordinate who had less work experience than I had, who had less education than I had, had one professional certification while I had six, and had no professional license like the one I had.

LAW 360
— Meet The Judge Weighing EEOC Disparate Impact Cases. DD: Democrat and RINO leaders use disparate impact to get more votes from minorities and from women. They fight for equal outcome instead of for equal opportunity. To fight for equal outcome is to fight against equal opportunity. According to Democrat and RINO leaders, if Whites and men do better at something, it is because they benefitted from discrimination against minorities and against females. I became a licensed CPA. I passed the CPA and Certified Internal Auditor examinations on my first attempt. I earned four other job-related professional certifications. I earned three job-related master’s degrees. Because few minorities and few females have done that, Democrat and RINO leaders have especially shouted at minorities and at females that I was able to do the aforesaid because I benefitted from discrimination against minorities and against females. In my defense, I stress that neither of my parents attended college. That my father was only the first of my ancestors to earn a high school diploma. My mother never attended high school. I had to work my way through college.

In 2007, they rudely ended my Illinois Center Right Coalition (ICRC) Steering Committee membership. In 2006, they almost got ICRC to rudely censure me for my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters. In 2004, they rudely defeated me (69 to 13) when I ran for an open MTRO Treasurer position. In 2004, they rudely ended my American Association of Political Consultants Midwest Chapter board membership in 2004. MTRO rudely unsuccessfully ran one of their operatives/dupes against me for Precinct Committeeman in 2000. In 1997, my critics/opponents forced me to retire when I was 49 years old.

DD: According to hate-filled Trump-hating Trump-haters, all of Trump’s orders are illegal. According Vietnam War protesters, the Vietnam War was illegal. I was not a Vietnam War protestor. I went in for my physical in 1966 and I was deemed 1-A. I did not appeal that even though 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. Nevertheless, since 1966, my critics/opponents have painted me as being a Vietnam War protestor because I got four student deferments and a financial hardship draft deferment.

I would not become a postal employee when I was 18 in 1966 if my high school friend had not asked me to take the postal employment test with him. I would not have become an IRS employee in 1971 if my Firestone Store boss had not fired me because I had accepted a job offer from Oldsmobile. But Oldsmobile withdrew that job offer saying that it had just agreed to stop hiring Whites to settle an EEOC complaint. I would not have become a GAO employee in 1980 if my Democrat superiors had not made it clear that they would never promote me to GS-13.
https://www.chicagotribune.com/2025/11/21/opinion-idealism-human-service-job-training/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: I never imagined that after graduating from college and working in the offices of a respected consulting firm in the Midwest, one day I would walk away from what looked like a secure and enviable path. But after months spent helping companies squeeze out higher profits, I began to wonder, like Leo Tolstoy, whether a life devoted entirely to success could ever feel meaningful. So I left. I traded corporate perks for the uncertainty of a spiritual vocation and committed myself to religious leadership, social entrepreneurship, adult education, academia and activism. In the years since, I have founded nonprofits, launched incubators, taught thousands of students and worked alongside people confronting some of the most pressing injustices of our time. Such decisions are rare, exposing an unsettling moral decline in American life. The issue isn’t talent but moral guidance. Many capable youths chase high pay, influenced by peers, families and looming debt. Fields such as tech, finance and medicine are vital, but fewer opt for work that benefits the human spirit, such as teaching, supporting vulnerable populations or advocating for justice.)

Since 1980, I had requested to be assigned to in-town audits to help our trying to have children. In 1989, to punish me, they threw me off in-town audits, assigned me to a bad 6-month out-of-town audit, gave me unfair performance expectations, gave me an unfair performance appraisal, and ranked me at the bottom of my coworkers for pay-for-performance. They would not have done that if I had been a Democrat, minority, female, or veteran.

My Democrat Firestone Store manager rudely fired me in 1971 because I had accepted a job offer from Oldsmobile. My Democrat IRS superiors rudely got me to transfer to GAO in 1980. My Democrat GAO superiors rudely got me to retire in 1997. MTRO rudely fired me as its webmaster in 2004 and 2010. The Illinois Center Right Coalition rudely tried to censure me for my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters in 2006 and in rudely ended my membership on its Steering Committee in 2007. TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois rudely got me to not run again for chairman in 2012. Wheaton rudely ended my service as the Republican fundraiser for its Independence Day parades and fireworks in 2021. The Illinois Republican Party rudely ended my membership on its State Convention Platform and Resolutions Committee in 2024.

FED SMITH
— Federal Pay Skyrockets: New Open The Books Report Shows 24% Payroll Surge Since 2020. Federal pay surged during the Biden years as locality pay areas grew, driving six‑figure salaries higher despite modest workforce growth and rising telework.
https://www.fedsmith.com/2025/11/19/federal-pay-skyrockets-since-2020/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The report shows that the civilian federal workforce (excluding DOD and Postal Service) reached roughly 2.9 million employees and had a disclosed payroll of $270 billion in FY 2024. That’s a 24% jump from FY 2020, when payroll stood near $217 billion. The size of the federal workforce grew by about 5% during that period. . .The biggest change is not in hiring. It is the compensation structure. The number of employees earning six-figure salaries has exploded since 2020. Federal workers earning $100,000+ jumped 49%. Those earning $200,000+ soared 82%. The number above $300,000 rose 84%. In 117 of 127 major agencies (and in the White House as well), the average salary at the time the data were calculated exceeded $100,000. As noted above, OPM data as of March 2025 showed an average federal salary of almost $110,000. The report highlights a striking trend in the federal workforce: the number of highly compensated federal employees has grown significantly. The report highlights several items, including the highest federal salaries. In FY 2024, 956 federal employees made more than the President of the United States, who has had a salary of $400,000 since 2001. There are more employees earning more than $400,000 than ever before in Open The Books’ payroll records dating back to 2010. 939 of the employees who out earned the president were medical officers at the Veterans Health Administration. Four of the employees listed are dentists. 15 doctors at the National Institutes of Health earn more than $400,000, including the four highest-paid employees in the entire federal workforce. The director of the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute was paid $519,246, breaking his own record for the highest federal salary in American history. Dr. Anthony Fauci, who was the federal employee of the year in 2020, once held the record for being the highest-paid federal employee with a $480,654 salary in 2022. An additional 36 federal employees earned exactly $400,000, the same salary as the president. A few years ago, it was rare for any federal employee to earn more than the president. In 2019, only three federal employees made more than $400,000. Why Federal Pay Has Gone Up)

WALL STREET JOURNAL
— Trump’s DEI Slayer Is Just Getting Started. EEOC head Andrea Lucas is shifting the workplace watchdog’s priorities to fighting anti-Christian bias and diversity programs. DD: 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. Because my Firestone Store boss fired me because I had accepted that offer and because I needed a job because I was helping support my mother and brother, I accepted a job offer from IRS. I had wanted a career in the automotive industry. While I worked for the Democrats who ran the federal government for almost 30 years, they ever-increasingly used Affirmative Action and DEI to get rid of me.
https://www.wsj.com/politics/policy/trumps-eeoc-chief-andrea-lucas-is-dei-slayer-just-getting-started-2d6623a6
(FROM THE ARTICLE: As head of the federal agency that fights workplace discrimination, Andrea Lucas has said two men in particular have shaped her sense of mission. One is her father, an industrial salesman who she has said was once fired after speaking up about his faith on the job. The other is Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, who led the agency—the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission—from 1982 to 1990. As President Trump’s EEOC chair, Lucas is sharply shifting the agency’s focus to give priority to allegations of religious discrimination. It is bringing lawsuits on behalf of a truck driver who asked to wear a skirt on the job because of her Apostolic Christian beliefs and a ski-area employee fired after writing faith-related social-media posts. And it recently settled with a staffing agency that didn’t hire a Muslim job applicant after he asked for an accommodation to attend Friday prayer. The 39-year-old Christian conservative has opened investigations into law firms’ diversity practices and universities’ handling of antisemitism. The EEOC asked a judge this week to enforce a subpoena against the University of Pennsylvania. Lucas has said she is attacking the identity politics she believes has permeated workplaces and the broader culture. “Laying siege to the institutions and taking them back is the big-picture theme,” Lucas told the Daily Caller, a conservative news outlet, this summer. By targeting elite institutions, she said in the interview, “You change the culture.” Now she has the power to do more. During the government shutdown, the Senate confirmed a Trump nominee, Brittany Panuccio, as an EEOC commissioner. That gives Lucas a quorum—a minimum of three commissioners out of the full slate of five—after Trump fired two Democrats in January. One Democratic commissioner remains. With the agency’s full powers, Lucas can make good on promises to rescind guidance regarding protections for transgender and nonbinary workers and root out what the Trump administration views as unlawful diversity, equity and inclusion programs. Most notably, she will be able to sue employers on significant legal questions, potentially setting the stage for new precedents on civil-rights law. “Andrea is very pro-enforcement,” said Victoria Lipnic, who served as the EEOC’s acting chair during the first Trump administration. “The traditional trope of Republican administrations is that they’ll be hands-off about enforcement. That’s not her at all.” Lucas declined to comment. An agency spokesperson said Lucas “has emphasized a broad reset of agency priorities to be consistent with the President’s agenda, Supreme Court precedent, and our country’s founding principles of equality and individual rights.” While racial and sexual discrimination still make up a large share of claims that American workers file with the agency, Lucas has chosen to call attention to religious-discrimination allegations, which make up a small portion of claims. “In some cases, it’s been a direct 180,” Christopher DeGroff, a partner who represents employers at the law firm Seyfarth Shaw, said of the EEOC’s shift in focus since the Biden administration. To date, the EEOC has recovered more than $55 million for workers affected by Covid vaccine mandates, many of whom refused to get the vaccine for religious reasons. Lucas recently called the mandates “one of the greatest civil-rights violations in the last few decades.” It also secured a $21 million settlement from Columbia University as part of the Trump administration’s push against antisemitism at academic institutions—the agency’s largest public settlement in nearly two decades. This spring, senior agency officials asked EEOC attorneys around the country to identify discrimination claims in line with White House priorities, according to an email viewed by The Wall Street Journal. Those include discrimination resulting from employer DEI programs, along with antisemitism and anti-Christian or anti-American bias in workplaces. The EEOC filed 94 lawsuits in fiscal 2025, which ended Sept. 30, one of the lowest tallies in decades. One reason for the decrease, DeGroff said, is it takes time for regional offices to identify claims in line with the new priorities and with enough merit to file a federal complaint. Former colleagues describe Lucas as outspoken, dedicated and smart. “She has a really strong legal mind and was among the brightest associates I worked with over the years,” said Jason Schwartz, who as a leader of the law firm Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher’s labor and employment team oversaw Lucas’s work early in her career. In her first EEOC commission term, which began in 2020, Lucas established a reputation as an independent thinker. She voted with the two Democrats to approve a lawsuit accusing a McDonald’s franchisee of discriminating against Black job applicants, according to the EEOC’s press release on the case. Her votes with Democrats regularly denied victories to the commission’s other two Republicans early in the Biden presidency, when Republicans held a majority of the commissioner seats. Lucas has taken a more strident tone from the start of Trump’s term, excoriating the Biden administration for what she has called “woke policies” and supporting the firing of her two Democratic colleagues on the commission. She hired Connor Clegg, a former digital-media strategist for the late conservative activist Charlie Kirk, to join her communications team. In a June hearing to confirm Lucas for a second term, she said she erred in 2021 when she wrote on social media that the EEOC was an independent agency. Instead, she told senators, the agency answers to the White House. Hundreds of EEOC employees have retired early, accepted buyouts or left for other jobs since the start of Trump’s term, said current and former employees. Those moves have left the agency understaffed and morale low, they said. The agency’s shift on protections for transgender workers has been a particular source of confusion—and anger—among some staffers. The agency suspended work on discrimination claims related to gender identity early this year, a move Lucas said adhered to Trump’s executive order to “defend biological reality.” EEOC officials later told agency workers that they could investigate a small subset and that Lucas’s office would review investigations if staff determined discrimination likely took place, according to an email reviewed by the Journal.)
— The Economics of Income Mobility. I believe in the American dream, but the data show that some people have an advantage in realizing it. DD: According to my critics/opponents. I owe all my successes in life to my benefitting from discrimination against those who do not share my demographics. Sadly, my father, my grandfather, and my great grandfather are examples of downward mobility. In 1902, my great grandfather had 1285 Main Street built in Crete (4,030 sq. ft. https://www.redfin.com/IL/Crete/1285-Main-St-60417/home/23199035 ). In 1926, my grandfather had 1286 Wood Street built in Crete (1793 sq. ft. https://www.redfin.com/IL/Crete/1286-Wood-St-60417/home/23199039 ). My father never had a home built.

— Trump seeks primary challenges against Indiana state lawmakers who defy redistricting demands. DD: In 2000, my Milton Township Republican Organization (MTRO) critics/opponents succeeded in getting a registered Republican voter in my precinct to challenge me for Republican Precinct Committeeman, but not since then. But they have succeeded in stopping me from becoming a MTRO committee chairman or officer since then. They rudely fired me as MTRO webmaster in 2004 and 2010. They gerrymandered my precinct in 2015. They ended my service as the Republican fundraiser for Wheaton Independence Day parades and fireworks in 2021. They threw me off the Illinois Republican Party State Convention Platform and Resolutions Committee in 2024. My MTRO critics/opponents ever-increasingly blame me and blame my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters a) for all the losses that Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct have suffered since 2000 and b) for all of MTRO’s other problems. I should write about my MTRO critics/opponents.

They stress that my ACT score was only 24, that I only just barely made it into the upper 20% of my high school class, that I got no scholarships, that while I earned a job-related bachelor’s degree and three job-related master’s degrees, my GPAs were not that great, and that while I passed the CPA and Certified Internal Auditor (CIA) examinations on my first attempt, my scores could have been better. They stress that I did not earn my master’s degrees until I was 27, 31, and 48, that I did not take the CPA examination until I was 30 and the CIA examination until I was 32, and that while I became a licensed CPA, it was not until I was 32.

My salary was about $50,000/year in today’s dollars for a 44-hour workweek. In 1971, my second entry-level job was a GS-7 IRS Revenue Officer. The salary was $55,850/year in today’s dollars. To get that job, I had passed the Federal Service Entrance Examination. My taking graduate evening business courses at Loyola helped me get promoted to GS-9 ($68,315/year) in 1972, to GS-11 ($82,655/year) in 1973, and to GS-12 ($99,069/year) in 1974. I earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976. In 1980, my third entry-level job was a GS-9 Step 10 GAO Analyst, The salary was $88,808/year in today’s dollars. To get that job, I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979 and earned a master’s degree in accounting in 1980.

AMERICAN SOCIETY FOR PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION
— Hiring Trends: Skills, Credentials and Potential. DD: Meeting and exceeding Affirmative Action and DEI quotas, goals, and targets was always my employers’ top priority. 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. As they came to realize that I was not going to become a Democrat, they ever-increasingly wasted my career and they succeed in forcing me to retire when I was 49 in 1997. They ever-increasingly wasted my work experience and what I had learned earning a job-related bachelor’s degree, three job-related master’s degrees, six job-related professional certifications, and a job-related professional license.
https://patimes.org/hr-hiring-trends-skills-credentials-and-potential/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Recruiting and retaining a well-qualified workforce is a critical concern for public administrators. To provide effective, efficient and responsive services, employees must be carefully selected for their roles. There is a long-standing debate about whether hiring should focus on their skills developed through experience, formal credentials or their potential. The Society for Human Resource Management has reported that employers practicing skills-based hiring increased from 56% in 2022 to 81% in 2024. While the short-term trend is clear, public administrators should be cognizant of both the strengths and weaknesses of each approach.)

DD: While I worked for the Democrats who ran the Post Office 1966-1969, IRS 1971-1980, and GAO 1980-1997, the federal government paid 72% of my health insurance premiums. That helped me endure my Democrat superiors’ tremendous efforts to get rid of me. My critics/opponents ever-increasingly demonize, denigrate, and condemn the 72% health insurance subsidy a) that I got when I was federal employee, b) that my wife got when she was a federal employee 1968-1970, c) that I will always get as a federal retiree, and d) that my wife has gotten since we got married in 1978 and will always get.

My critics/opponents either a) would never have stooped to take a federal job and/or b) failed/refused to qualify themselves for federal jobs.

I would not have become an IRS employee in 1971 if my Firestone Store boss had not fired me because I had accepted a job offer from Oldsmobile. But Oldsmobile withdrew that job offer saying that it had just agreed to stop hiring Whites to settle an EEOC complaint.

ZERO HEDGE
— The Foreign Worker Scam Exposes Trump’s Economic Achilles Heel
https://www.zerohedge.com/political/foreign-worker-scam-exposes-trumps-economic-achilles-heel
(FROM THE ARTICLE: To bring our nation back to legitimate self reliance would require a total reformation of our society and the removal of the political left (including globalists) from the equation. Part of this long term reformation demands a reversal of open borders ideology and multiculturalism, which has ravaged the west. Migrants view our economy as a “global commons”, a wealth pool they are all entitled to access. They don’t see it is a privilege, they see it as a “right”. This is something that Trump does have the capacity to fix in the three years he has left in office, but he has a tendency to get sidetracked by minutia and bad advice. I have been warning since before Trump was re-elected that the economy was going to be his Achilles Heal. From past examples it seems that Trump delegates a lot of his policy ideas to advisers and among these advisers (he has dozens of them, official and unofficial) there are always people who give him suicidal arguments and terrible talking points. His lack of concrete planning for economic repair is putting conservatives on edge and handing immense social influence over to Democrats and woke activists. All they have to do is point at the lack of a clear strategy and suggest that they can do better (they can’t, but it won’t matter to voters living paycheck to paycheck). Trump has done some things right. His tariff policies are absolutely necessary to counter the wealth gap created by corporate globalism. The US has been turned into a consumer nation that continuously takes on debt in order to create ever depreciating wealth. That wealth is then siphoned from the public by international conglomerates, banks and foreign interests. We are being slowly drained of our lifeblood by a nest of vampires. Tariffs are one of the few measures at Trump’s disposal to unilaterally stop the bleeding and force corporations to bring the wealth and jobs back to the US. This is done through new domestic manufacturing and the end of general outsourcing using third world labor. Globalism is NOT the free market, it is the opposite. It is forced interdependency of nations and economies to the benefit of a tiny handful of ultra-wealthy elites. The tariff fight is direct and Trump’s reasons are evident. The average Joe wants more American jobs with higher salaries for the middle class instead of wallowing in low-wage retail and service sector hell. But Trump can’t say he’s fighting for this end result through tariffs and then turn around and let an army of migrants take middle class jobs. The President stumbled into multiple forehead slapping blunders this past week. He called for 600,000 Chinese students to prop up US colleges. He called for 50-year mortgages to offset plunging home ownership, and he argued that America doesn’t have the talent pool to fill jobs taken by H1B foreigners.)

— AI may be hurting entry-level jobs. DD: What entry-level jobs did you have? I earned a bachelor’s degree in management from NIU when I was 21 years old in 1970. My first entry-level was Retail Sales Manager for a Firestone Store. My salary was about $50,000/year in today’s dollars for a 44-hour workweek. In 1971, my second entry-level job was a GS-7 IRS Revenue Officer. The salary was $55,850/year in today’s dollars. To get that job, I had passed the Federal Service Entrance Examination. My taking graduate evening business courses at Loyola helped me get promoted to GS-9 ($68,315/year) in 1972, to GS-11 ($82,655/year) in 1973, and to GS-12 ($99,069/year) in 1974. I earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976.
