My DuPage County Milton Township Precinct 59 in Wheaton is extremely diverse economically. Generally, the further south that you go in my precinct, the higher that household incomes and housing values are. Since 1984, my critics/opponents have wanted public housing to be built on the north border of my precinct on the south side of Roosevelt Road.

— Registration is open for political entries in Wheaton’s July 4 Independence Day Parade. SEE: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/wheaton-independence-day-parade-entry-2026-tickets-1984881886153 The deadline is June 26. The cost is $183.58. I hope that all the Republican candidates on the ballot in my precinct will walk in the parade: Tracy, Bailey/Del Mar, Fioretti, Harris, Drew, Soloman, Oakley, Lewis, Vrankovich, Grasso, Noonan, Schiappa, Henry, Eckhoff, Michaud, Schultz, Quirk, and Helland. – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com
— Since I became a Republican Precinct Committeeman in Wheaton in 1999, I have encouraged Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct to walk in Wheaton Independence Day parades. In 2003, the day after all the announced Republican candidates for U.S. Senate attended (Cox, Kathuria, McKenna, Oberweis, and Ryan) had walked in the parade, they all attended a picnic that I had organized in the Prairie Path Park in my precinct. More than 200 attended. In 2005, I started raising $2,500/year from Republican candidates, elected officials, and party leaders to help sponsor the parade and fireworks. Each year I would hand-deliver 500 parade flyers to the homes and businesses along the parade route. In 2007, I raised $2,000 for an elephant to walk behind Roskam in the parade. But my critics/opponents ended that in 2021 by having the Wheaton Park District stop parade and fireworks sponsorships. I should write about my critics/opponents. I would focus on those who continue to have lots of religious, government, political, and/or financial clout in Wheaton. I would focus on those who have had their operatives and their dupes take many other adverse actions against me. They want to de-politized the parade, that is, they want to keep Republican candidates, elected officials, and party leaders out of the parade.

But my critics/opponents attribute my successes in life to my benefitting from discrimination against those who are liberal/moderate, Democrat, RINO, minority, female, younger, poor, veteran, unmarried, parents, non-Protestant, non-German American, have ancestors who have not been in America for a long time, and/or noncitizen. I should write about my critics/opponents. I would focus on those whose parents were the wealthiest. – Dave Diersen

— What is your purpose in life? My purpose in life is to promote conservative principles. My following conservative principles enabled me to earn a job-related bachelor’s degree, three job-related master’s degrees, six job-related professional certifications, and a job-related professional license. I have always fully disclosed that I am conservative and that I promote conservative principles. I have always used my personal experiences to promote conservative principles. According to my critics/opponents, that disqualifies me as being a journalist. But they have no problem with journalists who falsely claim to be nonpartisan. – Dave Diersen

— Have you had adverse actions taken against you? When your critics/opponents have had their operatives and their dupes take adverse actions against you, who has come to your defense? My critics/opponents continue to stress that when they had their operatives and their dupes take adverse actions against me, virtually no one came to my defense. They had their operatives and their dupes a) rudely throw me off the Illinois Republican Party State Convention Platform and Resolutions Committee in 2024, b) rudely end my service as the Republican fundraiser for Wheaton Independence Day parades and fireworks in 2021, c) rudely gerrymander my precinct in 2015, d) rudely end my TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois chairmanship in 2012, e) rudely end my Milton Township Republican Organization (MTRO) webmaster service in 2010 and 2004, f) rudely end my Illinois Center Right Coalition (ICRC) Steering Committee membership in 2007, g) rudely almost getting ICRC to censure me for my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters in 2006, h) rudely defeat my bid to serve as MTRO Treasurer in 2004, i) etc. Who have you hoped would have come to your defense, but did not? For me, it is those Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct since 2000 who I did the most to help elect and to help reelect in general elections. Further, my critics/opponents stress that when my Democrat superiors in the federal government took many big adverse actions against me including my Democrat GAO superiors forcing me to retire when I was 49 in 1997, the following did not come to my defense: my Republican U.S. Senators and Representatives, Speakers Gingrich and Hastert, and the six professional associations that I was a member of: Illinois CPA Society, Institute of Internal Auditors, Nation Association of Fraud Examiners, Association of Government Accountants, National Association of Financial Services Auditors, and National Association of Forensic Accountants. – Dave Diersen

(FROM THE ARTICLE: On Tuesday this week, 19-year-old Karmelo Anthony was convicted of murder for fatally stabbing a competitor at track meet in Texas last year. The killing quickly became national news because Anthony is black, his victim was white and black people were rooting for the stabber. The events that led to Anthony’s plunging a knife into Austin Metcalf’s heart are these: Driven for some reason to sit in a rival team’s tent, Anthony was repeatedly asked to leave by Metcalf. He refused, and tauntingly dared, “Touch me and see what happens.” Metcalf pushed him, whereupon Anthony knifed him. For killing a white kid who had the affrontery to 1) ask him to leave a tent he was not supposed to be in, and 2) touch him, Anthony collected more than $600,000 in donations and gained a small group of protesters outside the courthouse, yelling racist abuse at white people. Anthony’s admirers claimed to be protesting “white supremacy.” Don’t these white people realize Anthony is black? You can’t ask a black person to move! A minister outside the courthouse denounced the entire justice system as the “final frontier of racism and it’s legalized here.” A potential juror admitted, “I don’t know if I feel right putting a brother in jail.” One thing you’ll never see is a group of white people rooting for whites who kill blacks — or anyone else for that matter — just because the accused is white. Nobody protested the arrests of Derek Chauvin, Kim Potter, George Zimmerman or Jake Gardner, and two of those were accidents, the other two self-defense. [Point of law: Lying on your back, having your head smashed into a concrete sidewalk, or being locked in a chokehold so lethal that police are no longer allowed to use it, is not remotely similar to being pushed.] Gardner, for example, an Omaha bar owner, shot and killed a black career criminal who was choking him to death during a BLM riot. The district attorney, along with his entire homicide department, investigated and concluded the shooting was justified. But realizing he was white, the Democratic D.A. recused himself and assigned a black special prosecutor to the case. The black prosecutor promptly issued an arrest warrant for Gardner’s arrest, charging him with manslaughter, attempted first-degree assault, making terroristic threats, and use of a weapon to commit a felony. With a legion of white people rushing to disavow him, evict him, destroy his business, and manipulate the system to ensure his conviction, Gardner killed himself. In other news this week, a 14-year-old black kid in Indianapolis fatally shot a 23-year-old white man in the head during a carjacking. The Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department chief of police (the city’s first female police chief!!!) and deputy chief of police (a black guy, naturally) held press conferences, emoting over the horrible thing that had happened — to the killer. Chief Tanya Terry, who looks like Janet Reno’s younger, more butch sister, barely mentioned the victim, Brett Scrogham, a serious Christian, who’d been returning from having dinner with his family when he was attacked. Terry began by saying she had “mixed emotions” about his murder — as one does when an innocent man has been shot in the head. In her telling, the vicious cold blooded crime was merely a “tragic incident.” Tearing up, she bemoaned the fact that the suspected killer would “face lifelong consequences,” his life “forever impacted and changed by short-sighted, impulsive, and reckless decisions.” You know, if you think about it, you could say that Scrogham’s life was also impacted, in a way. Finally remembering him, Terry added, “There are victims on the other side of those decisions. And those victims matter.” Yes, we all remember the “tragic incident” in Minneapolis when police officer Derek Chauvin’s life was forever “impacted and changed.” It’s easy to forget, but there was another victim in that encounter, too. Deputy Chief Kendale Adams also called the unprovoked attack a “tragedy,” saying it was “a setback for all of us.” Yes, especially Scrogham. He then called on the community to ensure that potential teenage killers feel valued. “I know that those community-based organizations are out there doing this kind of work, and I would like to keep encouraging them to continue to do the work. … we have to do more.” Everybody has to step up and “do more,” except the teenagers who keep killing people. This is like Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.) saying, the day after the Oct. 7 terrorist attack, that she grieved for both “the Palestinian and Israeli lives lost yesterday,” or Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) referring to the 9/11 terrorist attack as a day when “some people did something.” Sometimes it seems as if, no matter who kills whom, it’s either the white person’s fault or it’s nobody’s fault.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: “What the hell is wrong with these people?” I heard someone ask as a clip of Jasmine Crockett played on the television at the restaurant bar the other day. What was Crockett talking about? Her sympathy for the murderer named Karmelo Anthony because he’s black. Yes, that’s why she cares, or at least pretends to care, about the fate of the man who’ll spend at least the next 17.5 years of his life in prison in Texas. How could anyone, real or not, go on camera and express sympathy for a murderer, at the expense of the murder victim and his family, no less? There’s really only one possibility: the cancerous cultural rot Democrats have forced and enforced on the black community.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Republican presidential candidate Jeb Bush remained defiant in his contrasts with Donald Trump during an exclusive interview with Chuck Todd for “Meet the Press.” “He has no proven leadership skills in the public domain,” he said of the Republican frontrunner. “So my path is to say I do.” Bush focused his attack further on Trump’s conservative bona-fides and insisted he’s the only person willing to go after Trump on those issues, saying simply, “He’s not a conservative.” “I’m gonna continue to be critical of him when he doesn’t advocate conservative principles,” Bush said. “He’s running for the conservative party’s nomination. He should be a conservative, and he hasn’t shown it.” The former Florida governor acknowledged Trump’s ability to “entertain” but said his ideas won’t help people and questioned Trump’s ability to bring people together.)

We see this in race; we see this in religion; we see this in all kinds of things,” said Enos. “And increasingly, we see this in partisanship in the United States.”)

POLITICO
— Freedom 250’s fair on National Mall highlights conservative groups. In May, several musical artists dropped out of planned performances at the fair after learning of its ties to Trump. DD: TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois and Illinois Center Right Coalition (ICRC) were conservative groups. My critics/opponents are anti-conservatives. I served as the TAPROOT chairman from 2005 until 2012 when my critics/opponents had their operatives and their dupes get rid of me and destroy the group. I served as an ICRC Steering Committee member from 2003 until 2007 when my critics/opponents had their operatives and their dupes get rid of me and destroy the group. My critics/opponents hinted/implied/argued that TAPROOT and ICRC were hate groups. One could stress the conservative principles that Trump rejects.

INTERNATIONAL JOURNALIS’ NETWORK
— Personal perspectives can be valuable when transparently articulated. As the industry has recognized the importance of giving space for people to tell their own stories, knowing how to incorporate personal experiences in your reporting can be an effective approach. DD: My following conservative principles enabled me to earn a job-related bachelor’s degree, three job-related master’s degrees, six job-related professional certifications, and a job-related professional license. I have always fully disclosed that I am conservative and that I promote conservative principles. I have always used my personal experiences to promote conservative principles. According to my critics/opponents, that disqualifies me as being a journalist. But they have no problem with journalists who falsely claim to be nonpartisan.

MAGZTER
— Why we are haunted by the choices we didn’t make. DD: I should have majored in accounting from the beginning. My undergraduate major at UIC and NIU should have been accounting, my graduate major at Loyola should have been accounting, and I should have taken and passed the CPA examination much sooner than I did. I did not start taking graduate accounting courses at DePaul until I was 27 in 1976. I did not take the CPA examination and pass it on my first attempt until I was 30. I did not earn a master’s degree in accounting at DePaul until I was 31. I did not take the Certified Internal Auditor examination and pass it on my first attempt until I was 32. I did not become a licensed CPA until I was 32. By then, it was too late for me because the accounting profession saw me as being too old to have a successful career in accounting and because the accounting profession was under tremendous pressure to hire, retain, and promote minorities, females, and veterans, and I was none of the aforesaid.

In my defense, I earned a) a job-related bachelor’s degree in 1970, b) job-related master’s degrees in 1976, 1980, and 1997, c) job-related professional certifications in 1979, 1981, 1990, 1994, 1996, and 1997, and a job-related professional license in 1981. My Civil Service Retirement System pension is $68,640/year. That is less than what my salary was in 1972 in today’s dollars.

CENTER SQUARE ILLINOIS
— ‘Family Month’ backer U.S. Rep. Mary Miller cites biology, declining birth rates in defense of resolution
https://www.thecentersquare.com/illinois/article_b91d7414-472d-4b40-89c3-a499aad5ba76.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Illinois Family Institute Executive Director David Smith is praising a proposal from U.S. Rep. Mary Miller to designate June as “Family Month,” instead of Pride Month, calling the resolution a needed cultural shift toward traditional family structures. Miller in a news release said strong families are where children learn responsibility, faith, hard work, and respect for others. “That is why I recently introduced a resolution to designate June as Family Month,” stated Miller. “Statistics are showing marriage rates have declined, fertility rates have fallen below replacement levels, and fewer young Americans are choosing to start families. These trends have lasting consequences for our economy, our communities, and our future.” Smith told The Center Square he strongly supports the measure, saying it highlights what he described as society’s foundational values. “I don’t want to use the word proud, but I am thrilled that Rep. Mary Miller has introduced that resolution in Congress designating June as Family Month.” Smith argued that marriage and child-rearing within heterosexual households are central to social stability, framing that structure as both biologically and culturally ideal. “The nuclear family is God’s design. So Judeo-Christian understanding of what a family is, is God’s design.” He also said children benefit from having both male and female parental roles in the home, describing those roles as complementary in raising well-rounded children. “Mom was saying to the children, slow down, be careful… Dad was saying, faster, higher, stronger,” said Smith. When asked about concerns that such a resolution excludes LGBTQ families, Smith said same-sex couples cannot biologically have children and argued that children benefit from having both a mother and a father in the home. “There is no way that a same-sex couple can produce a child… biology doesn’t allow it.” Smith also pointed to broader demographic concerns, including declining birth rates and what he described as a global population crisis. “We are at an all-time low in the United States as well as the rest of the world… there are more adult diapers sold in Japan than baby diapers.” The interview with The Center Square also touched on maternal health trends, including rising C-section rates, which Smith suggested may be influenced by medical convenience and broader systemic issues affecting childbirth practices.)

DAILY SIGNAL
— Trump Is Dismantling the Disparate Impact Legal Basis for Government-Endorsed Discrimination. DD: Democrats and RINOs have always used disparate impact against Republicans.
https://www.dailysignal.com/2026/06/11/shot-heart-dei-how-trump-admin-is-dismantling-legal-basis-government-endorsed-discrimination-disparate-impact/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The Department of Justice under President Donald Trump just took a pivotal step toward removing government-endorsed discrimination from America’s legal system and undermining the institutional apparatus of critical race theory. Critical race theory teaches that America is systemically racist and that even racially neutral policies are truly racist if they result in better outcomes for members of one race than for members of another. That’s the exact same logic as the legal theory known as “disparate impact.” Cornell Law School defines disparate impact as a policy or rule “that seems neutral but has a negative impact on a specific protected class of persons.” Government should strive to adopt policies that allow all Americans to flourish, regardless of race, but Democrat administrations have applied disparate impact theory to encourage “reverse” discrimination. For instance, the Justice Department and the Department of Education under Presidents Barack Obama and Joe Biden issued guidance warning that if a school disciplines students of one race more than students of another race, that is evidence of racial discrimination, even if the school’s policy is race-neutral. It doesn’t matter if particular students cause more trouble than other students—what matters is the racial breakdown of who gets punished. In one particularly revealing case, a woman sued the Alabama Department of Motor Vehicles, claiming disparate impact from the department’s requirement that people take the driver’s license exam in English. She said the English-only requirement had a disparate impact on people who don’t speak English, even though the road signs in Alabama are in English. While lower courts found in her favor, the Supreme Court struck down her claim in Alexander v. Sandoval (2001). Just as critical race theory teaches that American society is inherently racist against blacks and for whites, so the leftist reading of disparate impact theory finds fault with colorblind policies for their unintended consequences. The Justice Department’s Office of Legal Policy released a memo Tuesday that restores sanity, however. The DOJ Disparate Impact Memo. The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the agency tasked with preventing racial discrimination in employment, requested legal advice on disparate impact theory, and the DOJ responded with a far better approach to the law. EEOC’s current disparate impact guidelines “are unconstitutional because they contemplate liability based on disparate effects alone, without regard to an employer’s likely intent, and pressure employers to engage in race-based decisionmaking,” wrote T. Elliot Gaiser, assistant attorney general for the Office of Legal Counsel. Gaiser explained that if employers can demonstrate that the challenged policy “rationally serves a valid business practice,” that will constitute a valid response to a discrimination claim. “Workplace requirements and selection procedures—such as background checks, aptitude tests, and SAT scores—are presumptively job-related,” he added. “Only irrational or arbitrary practices with no plausible job-relatedness can create disparate-impact liability.” Finally, employees suing for disparate impact “must establish both that the challenged employment practice specifically caused the alleged disparate impact and provide evidence that an equally effective alternative practice causes less disparate impact.” These guidelines represent a return to common sense. No longer can potential employees of certain races sue for discrimination if a firm refuses to hire them for failing aptitude tests. This undermines the “diversity, equity, and inclusion” movement that has pressured companies to hire and promote racial minorities, arguably at the expense of more qualified candidates.)

NOTUS
— The Trump Administration Keeps Ghosting GAO. In a meeting last month, GAO said it was encountering “significant access issues” with a number of key agencies. DD: Ever-increasingly, GAO has become an arm of the Democrat Party. In 1980, I was one of the last Republicans GAO hired. SEE: https://gopillinois.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/DiersenGAOFifthAmendedComplaint.pdf
https://www.notus.org/donald-trump/gao-stonewalling-investigations
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A growing number of federal agencies are either refusing to provide the Government Accountability Office access to information or ignoring the congressional watchdog altogether. Agencies have been stonewalling the GAO ever since President Donald Trump returned to office, to the point that GAO leadership told employees at a staff meeting in May that they’ve encountered “significant access issues” during the last year and a half, according to two sources familiar with the event and confirmed by GAO. Officials at that meeting cited the Office of Management and Budget, Housing and Urban Development, the Commerce Department, the Education Department and the Small Business Administration as particularly noncooperative. None of those executive agencies responded to detailed questions this week about whether they are purposefully hindering oversight or the nature of their interactions with the legislative agency whose mission is to monitor government operations and identify waste, fraud and abuse. During the May meeting, GAO general counsel Edda Emmanuelli Perez told employees “there have been some outright denials,” sometimes from federal agencies who claim GAO lacks authority because the request came from a ranking member — which at the moment, means Democrats. In some cases, the office has been denied records and data it had received without any issues in the past. In an interview last week, she told NOTUS that while the agency was encountering “access issues,” it was “working them through.” It’s no surprise that the OMB is on the short list of federal agencies refusing to cooperate with the GAO. Russell Vought, OMB’s director, has made it his mission to expand presidential power over government agencies. OMB sent a particularly harsh letter to the GAO — and published it— when the watchdog agency started to investigate whether the Trump administration was abiding by the 1974 Impoundment Control Act in its rush to dismantle USAID. Mark Paoletta, the government-gutting lawyer Trump once deemed a “conservative warrior” who was then serving as OMB’s general counsel, chided the GAO’s requests as “voluminous, burdensome, and inappropriately invasive.” Paoletta went on to lead the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, where he sent another bellicose letter to the GAO when auditors explored whether CFPB could legitimately fulfill its legally mandated function as the Trump administration fired scores of its workforce. Paoletta railed against what he called GAO’s “arbitrary deadlines” and derided the group’s work as nothing more than an “incomplete” exercise “initiated at the behest of hyper-partisan Democrat members.” The GAO study into CFPB had been requested by Sen. Elizabeth Warren, the ranking member on the Senate banking committee, House Financial Services Committee Chair Maxine Waters and three other Democrats. In that study, GAO analysts described how the agency’s refusal to cooperate during much of 2025 forced them to look for answers by scouring public court filings in a CFPB lawsuit, Federal Register notices and even press releases — meaning it had about as much access to information as the average person with a computer.
“Stonewalling a nonpartisan congressional watchdog is another way that President Trump is trying to keep Congress and the American public in the dark about how his policies are hurting American families,” Warren said in a statement to NOTUS. “Congress should start sending subpoenas if the Trump administration won’t cooperate with legitimate oversight.” In other instances, agencies have not responded to GAO’s emailed questions or even acknowledged that an audit is taking place. At the staff meeting last month, GAO leadership told analysts and directors who conduct those probes to consider accommodating reluctant federal agencies — for example, by narrowing requests — but to keep track of deadlines so that if agencies fail to respond, they can loop in supervisors or even members of Congress to apply pressure to those agencies. One GAO source pointed to an executive branch agency closely controlled by the Trump White House that has not participated at all in an ongoing audit that began last year — denying analysts even basic interviews to explain certain government operations under review. And analysts are frustrated that longer delays make every “engagement,” as they’re referred to by the GAO, more expensive. Liz Hempowicz, the deputy executive director of the government accountability nonprofit American Oversight, said she hadn’t heard that federal agencies were pushing back on GAO audits on partisan grounds, but she called the pushback “alarming.” She ascribed it to Republicans uniformly falling in line behind Trump on most issues, leading to tepid congressional oversight. “Both GAO and these agencies are entities of the government meant to serve the American people. A ranking member represents a constituency of the American people the same way that a chair does. Treating that distinction as the be-all, end-all is just so insulting,” she said. Janice Luong, a policy analyst at the nonprofit Project On Government Oversight said Congress needs to step in, particularly as the Trump administration consolidates power in the executive branch and chips away at Congress’ power of the purse. “Congress should most definitely speak up and defend GAO and the legislative agency that provides them with resources on how dollars are spent — and holding the executive branch accountable,” she told NOTUS. Some signs of the rising tensions have occasionally slipped into public view, but they’ve mostly been buried deep in monotonous congressional hearings or vaguely described in official reports. In December, the previous head of the GAO, who retired when his 15-year tenure reached its statutory end, told a Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs subcommittee that “at this point, OMB’s not cooperating as much as we had in the past.” “We used to have, you know, meetings with them,” then-Comptroller General Gene Dodaro said. “That’s not happening. I think it’s unfortunate because they can benefit from continued dialogue with us.” The GAO has always run into some bureaucratic resistance from executive agencies when attempting to review government programs, no matter which political party is in the White House — a point agency officials emphasized to NOTUS. The GAO’s annual report in 2024 said the Biden administration’s Department of Education had “regularly delayed providing information to which GAO has statutory access.” The agency had to get members of Congress to intervene. In the end, GAO analysts exposed errors that resulted in 432,000 fewer people — mostly prospective college students from poorer families — submitting a FAFSA, or Free Application for Federal Student Aid. In one case, the government website instructed people to dial “7” for translation services, but that option didn’t exist on a call. GAO insiders told NOTUS that executive agencies are naturally wary of outside inspectors. Spy agencies and the military are notoriously guarded. Federal agencies rarely turn over personnel data, even though government employees’ salaries are generally presumed to be a matter of public record. From July 2024 to May 2025, the GAO looked into the consequences of Republican Sen. Tommy Tuberville’s 11-month “blanket hold” on all senior military promotions during the Biden administration. Analysts concluded the blockade didn’t actually affect combat readiness — but they had to rely partly on public statements from Defense Department brass. None of the 12 generals, admirals or DOD civilian leaders would talk to the congressional watchdog agency. The GAO is a legislative agency that belongs entirely to Congress and thus lies beyond Trump’s reach. When DOGE came knocking last year, NOTUS broke the news that GAO leadership rallied the troops with an email that reminded employees “we are not subject to DOGE or executive orders.” In an interview last Friday, Emmanuelli Perez, the GAO general counsel, acknowledged some recent obstacles and pointed to what the agency had said in its year-end performance and accountability reports, the latest of which says, in government speak, that “FY 2025 was different.” “We were seeing more delays. So we were saying, ‘OK, it’s getting really slow and that is having an impact.’ We saw that there is some information we routinely obtained in the past that now was either slowed down or we were having more trouble getting,” she told NOTUS. Emmanuelli Perez said that despite the delays, “for most of our work, we’re getting what we need and we’re publishing our work.” Analysts who run into access problems can elevate the matter to higher-ups to intervene, but she said the agency doesn’t track how many engagements are running into walls.)

My Democrat GAO superiors a) forced me to take a $23,699 (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS, b) gave me bad job assignments, c) gave me unfair performance expectations, d) gave me unfair performance appraisals, e) kept off audits of IRS for all but 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for GAO, f) always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance, and g) forced me to retire when I was 49 in 1997. They would not have taken the aforesaid adverse actions against me if I had been a Democrat, minority, female, and/or veteran.

I lived with my mother and brother in Crete until September of 1972 when I bought a new townhome in University Park. My father had died suddenly in October of 1969. My mother had never worked outside of the home. My brother was having troubles. I applied for a financial hardship draft deferment to help support them. It was approved in early 1971. I worked full-time for the Firestone Store in Chicago Heights 1970-1971 and part-time 1971-1972. I started working for IRS in 1971.

(FROM THE ARTICLE: For recent college grads, moving back home no longer carries the same stigma it once did. A MoneyLion survey found that 69% of Americans say it’s acceptable for young adults to live with their parents after college — as high rent, student loan payments and everyday costs make independent living harder to afford. Still, there are limits to that support. Nearly 22% of respondents said age 25 is the oldest age they consider acceptable for living at home after graduation.)
— Microsoft is planning voluntary retirement buyouts for some senior employees.

https://www.aol.com/entertainment/lgbtq-rights-under-pressure-poll-135758560.html
— DD: My Civil Service Retirement System pension is dramatically less a) because my Democrat superiors wasted my career and b) because they forced me to retire when I was 49 in 1997. I should write about the adverse actions that my Democrat GAO superiors would have taken against me if I had tried to work to my regular retirement age of 55 in 2003. They had made it clear that they would constructively, if not literally, demote me and that they would have given me adverse transfers, bad job assignments, unfair performance expectations, and unfair performance evaluations. I continue to ask myself what exactly would have happened if I had not succumbed to their threats. Would Speaker Gingrich, Speaker Hastert, U.S. Senator Fitzgerald, U.S. Representative Hyde, and/or the Bush Administration have come to my defense? The aforesaid did not come to my defense in Diersen v. GAO. SEE: https://gopillinois.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/DiersenGAOFifthAmendedComplaint.pdf To not come to my defense was a) to reject the equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) plank in the Republican Party platform, that is, b) to promote political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination in the federal government.

— Which Master’s Degrees Offer the Highest Salaries and Most Job Opportunities. DD: I earned an MBA from Loyola when I was 27 in 1976, a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul when I was 31, and a master’s degree in financial markets and trading when I was 48. My IRS employee manual encouraged me to earn the MBA and the master’s degree in accounting. My GAO superiors encouraged me to earn the master’s degrees in accounting and financial markets and trading. In today’s dollars, a) my IRS salary was $106,731/year when I earned my MBA, b) my GAO salary was $89,703/year when I earned my master’s degree in accounting, and c) my GAO salary was $150,715/year when I earned my master’s degree in financial markets and trading.

— The Fastest College Degree for Paying Off Student Loans, Ranked by Early-Career Salary and Debt. DD: My undergraduate major should have been accounting, my graduate major should have been accounting, and I should have taken and passed the CPA examination much sooner than I did. I did not start taking graduate accounting courses until I was 27. I did not take the CPA examination and pass it 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 the Certified Internal Auditor examination and pass it on my first attempt until I was 32. I did not become a licensed CPA until I was 32. My then, it was too late because I was not a minority, female, or veteran and the accounting profession was under tremendous pressure to hire, retain, and promote the aforesaid. Because I was not any of the aforesaid, the accounting profession saw me as being far too old to have a successful career in accounting.
https://www.aol.com/finance/fastest-college-degree-paying-off-130500797.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: About 6.6 million student loan borrowers are behind on payments, and the problem is worsening, as borrowers over 50 now have the highest serious delinquency rates of any age group. The difference between struggling for decades and paying off your loans in a few years often comes down to one decision—your major. . .Every extra year you spend paying off student loans could cost you thousands in interest and delay major milestones like buying a home or saving for retirement. Choosing a major with good starting wages relative to what you’ve had to borrow can take years off your repayment timeline.)

— Trump administration proposes NDAs for federal workers to crack down on leaks to journalists. DD: Democrat leaders see becoming an active member in a class action lawsuit is leaking to journalists. In 1988, when I was 40 years old, I became an active member in a class action lawsuit that charged my Democrat GAO superiors with reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation. They punished me viciously. They threw me off audits of IRS. They gave me a bad job assignment. They gave me unfair performance expectations. They gave me an unfair performance appraisal. They ranked me at the bottom of my coworkers for pay-for-performance. They forced me to retire when I was 49 in 1997. Previously, they had a) forced me to take a $23,699 (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS in 1980, b) delayed my promotions and never promoted me beyond GS-13, and c) kept me off audits of IRS 1980-1985. They would not have taken the aforesaid adverse actions against me if I had been a Democrat, minority, female, and/or veteran.

My Democrat IRS superiors a) never promoted me beyond GS-12, b) disallowed my education deductions in 1978, and c) disallowed my travel vouchers in 1974. My Democrat Post Office superiors a) forced me to resign in 1969 and b) disallowed my sick leave requests in 1969 and 1968. My critics/opponents have always stressed that in Diersen v. GAO, not only Bush’s DOJ sided with my Democrat GAO superiors against me, but that no Republican federal elected officials in Illinois came to my defense, that is, they sided with my Democrat GAO superiors against me. To side with my Democrat GAO superiors, is to promote Affirmative Action and DEI, that is, to promote race and gender based preference giving, patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, religious discrimination, and national origin discrimination.

But even though I was a union member, a) my Democrat IRS superiors never promoted me beyond GS-12, disallowed my education deductions in 1978, and disallowed my travel vouchers in 1974 and b) my Democrat Post Office superiors forced me to resign in 1969 and disallowed my sick leave requests in 1969 and 1968.

— Side-by-side Wheaton mansions for sale for $2.4M and $3.3M. DD: These homes are in my DuPage County Milton Township Precinct 59 in Wheaton.
https://www.chicagotribune.com/2026/06/05/wheaton-mansions/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Two adjoining mansions located at the end of a long, private lane in Wheaton — and that were built at the same time — are on the market for $2.4 million and $3.3 million. The two homes, located immediately west of the Chicago Golf Club, occupy historic ground. Together, they sit on the 3.4-acre site that once held a rambling mansion called Overlinks, which had been designed by architect Jarvis Hunt and built in 1897 for Chicago Golf Club member and influential Chicago Board of Trade member Edward S. Worthington. Overlinks was demolished around 1990, and soon afterward, longtime homebuilder Harold “Mac” Airhart, who died on April 16 at age 86, subdivided the land and constructed the two mansions, one of which became Airhart’s own personal home. Airhart, a Wheaton College alumnus and a longtime Wheaton College trustee, in 1964 founded Airhart Construction, which now has constructed more than 1,800 homes. Even before Airhart’s passing, he and his wife, Vonla, had one of the two homes, their own, five-bedroom, 5,794-square-foot Georgian-style home, on the market. It’s available for $2.4 million. Situated on 1.61 acres, the Airhart mansion has 4 1/2 bathrooms, a grand foyer, soaring ceilings, millwork, a great room with a fireplace, an adjacent octagon-shaped sunroom with floor-to-ceiling windows, a library with custom built-ins and architectural molding and a kitchen with granite countertops, newer appliances and two pantries. Other features include a primary bedroom suite with a walk-in wardrobe and a finished walkout lower level. Outside on the property are hosta beds, mature trees, a three-car garage and a 60-foot-by-60-foot motor court. “This is a fabulous house and 1.6-acre lot,” listing agent Pattie Murray of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices told Elite Street. “It has such grandeur. I think it is one of the most iconic, beautiful places near Chicago Golf.” The Airhart house currently is listed in an agents-only private listing network. Airhart and his wife, Vonla, who spent winters in Naples, Florida, previously had listed the house for $2.35 million from 2011 until 2013, when they cut their asking price to just under $2.3 million. They took the home off the market later that year. Also for sale in an agents-only private listing network is the five-bedroom, 6,504-square-foot mansion immediately to the east. Listed on Tuesday for $3.3 million and known as Grey Walls, the home was constructed by Airhart’s firm and designed by Chicago architect Richard Hague. Its first owner, former Amoco CEO H. Laurance Fuller, owned the mansion from its completion in 1992 until 2004, when he sold it to spend more time at homes in South Carolina and Massachusetts. The mansion was inspired by — and takes its name from — Greywalls, the onetime country house on Scotland’s east coast that borders the Muirfield golf links there and now functions as a hotel. With 10,000 square feet of total space including the lower level, the Grey Walls mansion in Wheaton has five full bathrooms, two half bathrooms, two fireplaces, a dual stair entry, an oversize dining room, a mahogany library with custom built-ins and a limestone fireplace, a great room with a coffered ceiling, a sunroom and a kitchen with hand-crafted William Huber cabinetry, granite countertops, Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances and a walk-in pantry. The mansion’s main-level primary bedroom suite has 11-foot ceilings, dual vanities and custom walk-in closets. Outside on the 1.77-acre property are bluestone patios and limestone terraces that overlook the Chicago Golf Club. The grounds were landscaped by the late Morton Arboretum landscape architect Tony Tyznik. “The location is spectacular, and this home is for somebody who appreciates architecture and who appreciates the Scottish and really European flair to the home,” listing agent Michael LaFido of LPT Realty told Elite Street. “It is really special. I think anybody who would come over as a guest and entertain would be like, ‘That’s a cool house.’” The Airhart house had a $34,704 property tax bill in the 2025 tax year, while Grey Walls had a $45,988 property tax bill in the 2025 tax year.)

What helped you become marriage material? By the time I got married when I was 29 in 1978, I had worked for IRS for almost 7 years and my salary was $110,066/year in today’s dollars. I had earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976 and I was taking graduate evening accounting courses at DePaul. I lived in a one bedroom condo in the Outer Drive East building that I had bought in 1976. I was renting out a town home in University Park that I had bought new in 1972. I owned a 1972 Corvette that I had bought new in 1971. Things that impressed me about my outstanding wife included that her first job after high school was working for the FBI. She soon became the Corporate Secretary of the U.S. League of Savings Institutions. She did much to help elect Big Jim Thompson governor in 1976. She earned a bachelor’s degree in finance from DePaul in 1986.

I earned a bachelor’s degree in management when I was 21 in 1970. I earned an MBA when I was 27. I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt when I was 30. I earned a master’s degree in accounting when I was 31. I passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt and became a licensed CPA when I was 32. I earned four more job-related professional certifications when I was 41, 45, 47, and 48. I earned a master’s degree in financial markets and trading when I was 48.

— At least 5 GOP-led states (Alabama, Arkansas, Indiana, Tennessee, and Utah) have a new Pride Month tradition — renaming June. Republicans are working overtime to create GOP-branded alternatives to Pride Month that celebrate traditional marriage, “nuclear families,” and what some governors are calling “fidelity.”

POLITICO ILLINOIS
— Aaron Del Mar, the Republican nominee for lieutenant governor, has filed objections with the Illinois State Board of Elections challenging more than 20,000 signatures submitted by independent gubernatorial candidate Collin Corbett. Validity question: Del Mar and Republican activist Kristina McCloy contend that a review of Corbett’s petitions uncovered “thousands of potentially invalid signatures,” according to a statement announcing the challenge. “Illinois voters deserve fair, transparent and lawful elections,” Del Mar said in a statement. He is running alongside Republican gubernatorial nominee Darren Bailey. Corbett’s campaign said it was “reviewing the objection, but we know we have over 25,000 valid signatures, so we’re not worried,” via the Tribune. Why it matters: In Illinois politics, petition season is often the first campaign — and sometimes the most consequential. Ballot challenges can knock candidates out before a single vote is cast. What’s next: Election lawyers, hearing officers and signature experts now take center stage as the Illinois State Board of Elections begins sorting through the competing claims. Petitions must be certified by Aug. 21, according to the Board of Elections.

— War Secretary Pete Hegseth recently blocked the promotions of several Navy officers who had been selected by a board of senior admirals to be promoted to one-star admirals.

Of those nine officers, three of the officers are women, two are black men, and four are white men. DD: I should write about all the promotions that I was passed over for while I worked for the Democrats who ran GAO 1980-1997 and IRS 1975-1980.

U.S. OFFICE OF SPECIAL COUNCIL
— Your Rights as a Federal Employee. Prohibited Personnel Practices. DD: While I worked for the federal government for almost 30 years, Democrats ran the federal government. For Democrats, the federal government exists to hire, retain, and promote Democrats, and especially Democrats who are minority, female, younger, veteran, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or have ancestors who have not been in America for a long time. I should write about the many big Prohibited Personnel Practices that my Democrat superiors took against me, not the least of which included a) my Democrat GAO superiors forcing me to retire when I was 49 in 1997, always ranking me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance, delaying my promotions and never promoted me beyond GS-13, and forcing me take a $23,699/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980; b) my Democrat IRS superiors never promoting me beyond GS-12, disallowing my education deductions in 1978, and disallowing my travel vouchers in 1974; and c) my Democrat Post Office superiors forcing me to resign in 1969 and disallowing my sick leave requests in 1969 and 1968.

MS NOW
— DD: Democrat leaders decry that Hegseth intervenes on promotion list (again), blocks female and Black officers. I should write about all the promotions that I was passed over for while I worked for the Democrats who ran GAO 1980-1997 and IRS 1975-1980. All my coworkers who my Democrat superiors promoted over me were Democrats a) who had less education than I had, had less work experience than I had, had no professional certification or fewer than I had, and/or had no professional license like the one I had and/or b) who were minority, female, younger, veteran, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or had ancestors who had not been in America for a long time.

I sold tires, automotive services, and major appliances 1970-1971. I pumped more gasoline 1971-1972. I collected delinquent taxes 1971-1980. I audited federal agencies 1980-1997. I should write about my critic/opponents.

GOOD MEN PROJECT
— Traditional Career Paths. DD: Democrats run the federal government. When I was young, to get a federal job with advancement opportunities, you had to earn a job-related bachelor’s degree and pass the Federal Service Entrance Examination. Further, if you were Republican, White, male, and/or non-veteran, you had to make GS-13 (currently $118,984/year) by age 25, GS-14 (currently $140,604/year) by age 30, GS-15 (currently $165,386/year) by age 35, and Senior Executive Service (currently $197,200/year) by age 40. Very few federal employees made the aforesaid promotion deadlines. If you did not make the aforesaid promotion deadlines and you were Republican, White, male, and/or non-veteran, your career was wasted and you were gotten rid of. Because I was Republican, White, male, and non-veteran and because I did not make GS-12 (currently $100,659/year) until I was 25, and GS-13 until I was 38, my career was wasted and I was gotten rid of. The aforesaid is up-or-out, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination.

All my coworkers who my Democrat superiors promoted over me were Democrats a) who had less education than I had, had less work experience than I had, had no professional certification or fewer than I had, and/or had no professional license like the one I had and/or b) who were minority, female, younger, veteran, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or had ancestors who had not been in America for a long time.
