WALL STREET JOURNAL
— How I Lost My Career and Started Delivering Mail. No one expects to have to start over from the bottom rung at age 50. But when the pandemic struck, marketing professional Stephen Starring Grant rose to the challenge. (COMMENT: I worked for the Park Forest Post Office 1966-1969, part-time while I took classes at UIC 1966-1968 and at NIU in 1969 and full-time during the summers of 1967, 1968, and 1969. My Democrat superiors forced me to resign in September of 1969 falsely arguing that I would not be available to work enough part-time hours. I was available every Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday, holiday, and every day that NIU was not in session. They would not have forced me to resign if I had been a Democrat, minority, female, or veteran.)
https://www.wsj.com/lifestyle/careers/how-i-lost-my-career-and-started-delivering-mail-c238d934
(FROM THE ARTICLE: I was being laid off. My skill set was not particularly practical; I wasn’t a cardiologist or a plumber. My work in the two decades before the pandemic had a bunch of names—Brand Strategist, Marketing Consultant, Consumer Psychologist—but getting a new marketing job was going to be a near impossibility for the foreseeable future. It was certainly never going to happen before my health insurance ran out in a couple of weeks. Which was a problem, because a couple of months earlier I had been diagnosed with prostate cancer. My cancer was as benign as cancer gets, but what had seemed manageable, treatable, now loomed as an existential issue. Not to mention that I was a husband and a father of two teenage girls, who counted on me to keep them in the upper middle class. To get unemployment, I had to be actively searching for a new job. I would go on the Virginia Employment Commission website, find anything I was even remotely qualified for and apply. I lived in Blacksburg, the small town in far western Virginia where I’d grown up, but the jobs I’d find myself applying to were almost all in Northern Virginia. Locally, there was nothing. Except for a job as a part-time letter carrier with the U.S. Postal Service. It paid $18.50 an hour, and it came with healthcare on day one. The pay cut was eye-watering: I hadn’t worked a job at that wage level since my early 20s. But I would definitely enjoy working outdoors for a change—and independently. Some people give up after things happen to them. Others get back up, over and over again. We think of this as a strength, as grit, determination, willpower. This kind of toughness has always struck me as essential to the Appalachian character. If you get laid off or shot, or people yell at you and call you an idiot or tell you that you’ll never amount to a goddamned thing, don’t think about it. Just get back up and try again. After two weeks of training, I was assigned to fill in for the regular mailman on Rural Route 3, a monster 60 miles in length, with 724 deliveries. The whole middle section of the route, a long slide downhill to the river, was so remote that it received no cellphone service. I might as well have been delivering the mail in 1920 and not 2020. . .Did I believe I was a mailman? I was lousy at my job, still very stuck on how slow I was. I saw myself as a faker being chased by the clock. But I got better over the months to come. There were days when the mail was light and the weather good and delivering the mail was the best of all possible jobs, the work a joy, the solitude a gift. I knew I was never going to be great at it, in the way that I will never be an NFL quarterback or play electric guitar like Eddie Van Halen. I delivered the mail for a year before I found a new job in marketing, and the best grade I ever deserved was a solid B-/C+. Even with that I think my greatest accomplishment was not quitting. And yet, somewhere in those early months, change did come. Letter by letter I was learning. I got tougher. I became capable of delivering everything that I loaded into my truck in the morning. The economics of delivering the mail were unsentimental—paying for my mortgage and groceries cost more than I was bringing in. But out there on Route 3 the job became more than just a financial delaying tactic. I was inhabiting something real, feeling what it was like to be there for people. I had become a mailman.)

https://hoodline.com/2025/06/subcommittee-debates-potential-erosion-of-meritocracy-by-dei-initiatives/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Recent discussions at a Subcommittee on Health Care and Financial Services hearing have sparked controversy over the impact and intention of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives. The critical focus of the hearing, titled “Sacrificing Excellence for Ideology: The Real Cost of DEI,” examined the assertion that these progressive policies potentially erode the foundation of meritocracy and individualism within several sectors, including education, government, and the workforce. According to a release by the subcommittee, members discussed possibilities of following former President Trump’s lead to foster what they view as genuine equality, based on individual effort and merit.)

My Democrat IRS and GAO superiors did not want me, a Republican, to audit IRS. I transferred from IRS to GAO in 1980. 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. They succeeded in keeping off audits of IRS until 1986,that  but then succeeded in keeping me off audits of IRS after 1988 for the rest of my GAO employment. I had passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979. I had earned a master’s degree in accounting in 1980. I had passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981. I had become a licensed CPA in 1981. I became a Certified Fraud Examiner in 1990, Government Financial Manager in 1994, Financial Services Auditor in 1996, and Forensic Accountant in 1997. I earned a master’s degree in financial markets and trading in 1997. To keep me off audits of IRS, they hinted/implied/argued/shouted that I could not be objective auditing IRS because of the many big adverse actions that they had taken against me.

Coristine joined the Social Security Administration this week as a special government employee, a type of temporary position with relatively few disclosure obligations, the benefits agency said. What did you do when you were 19?  I turned 19 in September of 1967. I lived with my parents and brother in Crete. I was a full-time UIC student. I worked part-time for the Park Forest Post Office. I bought a new 1968 Oldsmobile 442 in December of 1967.

— Republican elected officials should reform government agencies. If Gingrich had reformed GAO instead of gutting it, DOGE would not be needed. If Gingrich had reformed GAO, I might still be a GAO employee. The Democrats who ran GAO during the 1980s and 1990s would not have wasted my career and forced me to retire when I was 49 years old in 1997. They would not have wasted what I learned working for GAO for almost 18 years and for IRS for almost 9 years before that. They would not have wasted what I learned earning six professional certifications and a professional license. They would not have wasted what I learned earning three master’s degrees. They would not have always ranked in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance. They would not have delayed my promotions and never promoted me beyond GS-13. They would have always assigned me to audits of IRS. They would not have forced me to take a $23,472/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO. – Dave Diersen

I would focus on my Democrat superiors and supervisors in the federal government. I would focus on those who took the most/biggest adverse actions against me.

The Democrats who ran GAO during the 1980s and 1990s would not have wasted my career and forced me to retire when I was 49 years old in 1997. They would not have wasted what I learned working for GAO for almost 18 years and for IRS for almost 9 years before that. They would not have wasted what I learned earning six professional certifications and a professional license. They would not have wasted what I learned earning three master’s degrees. They would not have always ranked in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance. They would not have delayed my promotions and never promoted me beyond GS-13. They would have always assigned me to audits of IRS. They would not have forced me to take a $23,472/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO.

(FROM THE POSTING: Vietnam veterans are generally treated with more respect and gratitude today than they were upon their initial return from the war. While some faced hostility and indifference initially, there’s been a significant shift in public perception and appreciation for their service. 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.)

Because I was none of the aforesaid, no Democrat leader stood with me when Republican Gingrich gutted GAO during the 1980s and 1990s. Democrat leaders were overjoyed when my Democrat GAO superiors forced me to retire and replaced me in 1997 with my Democrat Black subordinate who had less work experience than I had, had less education than I had, had one professional certification while I had six, and had no professional license like the one I had. It is called patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination.

(FROM THE ARTICLE: The truth is, government doesn’t work without the professionals who show up every day to serve the public. Effectiveness depends on more than elected officials or public leaders. It requires the daily efforts of those working quietly behind the scenes. Their roles are rarely glamorous or celebrated, yet they perform them diligently because they believe in something bigger than themselves.

FROM NATIONAL CENTER-LEFT SOURCES

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.)

BUSINESS INSIDER
—  Accounting is a fast track to an upper-middle-class life. My not majoring in accounting at UIC 1966-1968 and at NIU 1969-1970 was a tremendous career mistake. I wrongly thought that I could never pass the CPA examination. Even though I did not start taking graduate evening accounting courses until 1976, I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979. I earned a master’s degree in accounting in 1980. I passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981. I became a licensed CPA in 1981. But by then, the accounting profession saw me as being far too old to have a successful career in accounting.
https://www.businessinsider.com/cpa-jobs-millennial-accounting-great-career-path-comfortable-life-2024-12
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Accounting classes were actually fun because what I was doing finally made sense. I enjoyed the material and liked my classmates. Since I switched my major after my freshman year, I caught up on the credits I’d need to eventually get a CPA license by taking extra classes over the summer and winter breaks. During my sophomore and junior years, I interned with a tax firm and a CPA firm doing bookkeeping and tax work. The internships were interesting and helpful. At bigger firms, interns might get assigned to scanning client documents and other repetitive tasks, but I worked at smaller firms and was able to see the majority of the tax process from start to finish. After I graduated with a B.S. in accounting in 2017, I took a job with a local CPA firm in Oklahoma City. . .I joined a national firm doing tax work in 2018. I got my CPA license the following year because the company paid for part of my testing fees. Getting a CPA license isn’t mandatory for accountants — I know plenty of accountants without licenses who’ve had successful careers — but it’s still considered the gold standard for accounting and I knew it’d help me move up in my career. Later that year, I job-hopped to another local CPA firm and worked in a client-facing position doing tax and accounting work. In 2021, I got a job with the federal government as an IRS agent. In May 2023, I left the IRS to join a different agency, where I still work, and the following month I launched my own CPA practice. . .Almost every time I job-hopped, I got around a 20% pay bump, a title increase, and a better work-life balance. I feel comfortable and happy with my life.)

FED WEEK
— Have you ever taken a pay cut? I did. I took a $23,472/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO when I was 31 years old in 1980. My Democrat IRS superiors had made it clear that they would never promote me to GS-13, currently $117,807/year, even though I had earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976 and I had passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979. I finally made GS-13 at GAO in 1986, but I would not have if I had not earned a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980, passed the Certified Internal Auditor Examination on my first attempt in 1981, and became a licensed CPA in 1981. I should write about my IRS and GAO coworkers who my Democrat superiors promoted over me. They all were Democrats a) who had less wok experience than I had, had less education than I had, had no professional certifications or fewer than I had, and/or had no professional license like the one I had and/or who were minority, female, younger than me, and/or veteran.
https://www.fedweek.com/retirement-financial-planning/my-federal-career-was-it-a-good-decision-to-leave-the-private-sector/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: I began my federal career in 1985.  My starting salary with a Master’s Degree was $21,804.  I was taking a 12,000 dollar pay cut to begin my federal career.  This 35 percent salary pay cut was mind-blowing.  My friends and co-workers laughed at me and told me that it was a horrible mistake working for the government especially for such a large pay cut.  My intuition told me that it was not a mistake and I was prepared to take a step backward in order to take a giant step forward.  My vision of a federal career was that I saw growth and opportunity. The hospital continued to suffer with several other mergers and today it has been leveled to an empty parking lot.)

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.

The federal government has never provided any real protect for its employees who blow the whistle like I did on political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination.

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.

— One could question why I did not succumb earlier than I did to my Democrat GAO superiors’ ever-increasing tremendous pressure on me to retire. I could have taken their early retirement “offer” when I was 45 years old in 1993, but I nevertheless survived until I was 49 years old in 1997. Obvious reasons include my Civil Service Retirement System would have been even smaller. During those 4 years, I became a Certified Government Financial Manager, Financial Services Auditor, and Forensic Accountant and I earned a master’s degree in financial markets and trading. If I had not taken their “offer” in 1997, I would not have been eligible for regular retirement until I was 55 in 2003. They had made it very clear that they would have made those 6 years a living hell for me.

In addition, with the aforesaid salaries and then earning a GS-4 Step 3 salary (currently $20.67/hour) part-time for 7 months and full-time for 3 months, I paid my UIC expenses 1966-1968 and my NIU expenses in 1969 and 1970 and graduated debt-free in August of 1970 owning that Charger.

CPA PRACTICE ADVISOR
— Professionals on the Move. I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt when I was 30 years old in 1979. I passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981. I became a licensed CPA in 1981. Further, I earned an MBA in 1976, a master’s degree in accounting in 1980, and a master’s degree in financial markets and trading in 1997. Further, I earned four more professional certifications in 1990, 1994, 1996, and 1997.  My Democrat IRS and GAO superiors were furious that I did the aforesaid. My Democrat coworkers who they wanted to promote over me and were minority, female, and/or younger than me a) had not earned master’s degrees, b) had not taken the aforesaid examinations, c) had failed the aforesaid examinations, and/or d) had not become licensed CPAs.

— Six questions Gov. Pritzker should have been asked during his testimony on Illinois’ sanctuary status
https://wirepoints.org/six-questions-gov-pritzker-should-have-been-asked-during-his-testimony-on-illinois-sanctuary-status-wirepoints/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: 1. How do you justify spending more than $1.5 billion of Illinois taxpayers’ dollars on healthcare for illegal immigrants when Chicago has the highest black poverty rate in the country among the nation’s biggest cities? . . . 2. How do you justify spending hundreds of millions, if not billions, on illegal, non-English-speaking children at Chicago Public Schools when the school district is already junk-rated, faces a billion-dollar deficit and has just 21% of black students able to read at grade level? . . . 3. How can you justify allowing illegals with violent criminal histories to come to our state when Chicago has led the country in total murders for 13 years in a row and had the highest murder rate among the nation’s 20 biggest cities in 2024? . . . 4. How do you justify the billions spent on illegal migrants when Illinoisans already pay the nation’s highest property taxes, the 2nd-highest gas taxes and the highest cell phone taxes. Kiplinger ranks Illinois third in the nation in its list of “least tax-friendly states for middle-class families.” . . . 5. How do you justify burdening Chicagoans with the billions in costs of caring for illegal migrants when the Chicago area is already struggling to grow its economy? The metro area’s real GDP has only grown 4% since you took office, the worst among the nation’s 15 biggest metro areas. . . 6. How do you justify allowing in tens of thousands of illegal migrants who will struggle to find work when Illinois’ unemployment rate was the nation’s 4th-highest in 2024 and Chicago’s black community is struggling with an unemployment rate of 12.3% – the highest among the nation’s 15 biggest cities?)

GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— Democrat and RINO leaders ever-increasingly stress that Americans ever-increasingly fail/refuse to take bad jobs. I did yard work 1962-1964, delivered newspapers 1962-1966, washed dishes 1964-1966, cleaned golf shoes, chipped slag, and pumped gasoline in 1966, delivered mail 1966-1969, worked on an automobile assembly line in 1970, etc.  My critics/opponents did not have to take bad jobs. Their parents bought them cars, paid for their college expenses, and got them jobs. The bad jobs that I had enabled me to a) buy a 1958 Chevrolet Bel Air in 1964, b) buy a new 1966 Pontiac Tempest Sprint in 1966, c) pay for my UIC expenses 1966-1968, d) buy a new 1968 Oldsmobile 442 in 1967, e) buy new 1969 Dodge Charger SE in 1968, f) pay for my NIU expenses 1969-1970, etc. – Dave Diersen

— Who did you have to compete against to get hired and promoted? I did not have to compete directly against illegals. But because of political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, religious discrimination, and national origin discrimination, I had to compete directly against Democrats, minorities, females, younger people, veterans, non-Protestants, non-German Americans, and those whose ancestors had not been in America for a long time. All my coworkers who were promoted over me were many, most, if not virtually all of the aforesaid.

Since 2015, they have demonized me, denigrated me, and condemned me as being a Trump supporter. They had their operatives and their dupes a) gerrymander my precinct in 2015, b) end my role as the Republican fundraiser for Wheaton Independence Day parades and fireworks in 2021, and c) end my membership on the Illinois Republican Party Platform and Resolutions Committee in 2024. They have ever-increasingly discouraged everyone from reading my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters. Of course, they stress that I share so many demographics with Trump: conservative, Republican, White, male, older, married, non-poor, draft avoider, Protestant, German American, and our ancestors have been in America for a long time. – Dave Diersen

I passed both the CPA and Certified Internal Auditor examinations on my first attempt. Only about 20% who take the examinations can say that. In my defense, those who took the examinations with me shared many if not most of my demographics. That means, to be consistent, that according to Democrat and RINO leaders, I overcame tremendous competition. Further, I became a licensed CPA. Very few CPAs become licensed CPAs.
