Henry Louis Gates Jr. and Andrew S. Curran wrote: “DNA Provides New Language to Talk About Race.” SEE: https://www.nytimes.com/2022/03/03/opinion/sunday/talking-about-race.html What is your national origin? During the 1840s and 1850s, all my ancestors immigrated to northeast Illinois from what is now Germany. Of course, needless-to-say, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have always used that against me. In my defense, I stress that my grandfather on my father’s side fought the Germans during WWI, that my uncles on my mother’s side fought the Germans during WWII, and that my father would have fought the Germans during WWII if he had not been 4-F. Further, according to http://dna.ancestry.com , my ancestry is 33% Europe West, 28% Scandinavia, 24% Great Britain, 11% Ireland, 2% Europe East, 1% Finland/Northwest Russia, and 1% Italy/Greece. Many, if not most of my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes are anti-German-American. What if from the beginning I had pretended to be Swedish-American? While all my ancestors immigrated from what is now Germany to northeast Illinois during the 1840s and 1850s, according to DNA Ancestry at http://dna.ancestry.com , my ancestry is 33% Europe West, 28% Scandinavia, 24% Great Britain, 11% Ireland, 2% Europe East, 1% Finland/Northwest Russia, and 1% Italy/Greece.

I did NOT become a Democrat, instead, I have always been a Republican. I did NOT become a moderate or a liberal, instead, I have always been a conservative. I did NOT hide my being baptized, raised, and confirmed as a Missouri Synod Lutheran, instead, I freely admitted it. I did NOT hide my being 100% German American, instead, I freely admitted it. I did NOT become a yes-man, operative, or dupe for anyone, or paint myself as being one, instead, I have always objected to the aforesaid. I did NOT reject a job offer in 1966 from the Democrats who ran Park Forest Post Office in 1966, instead I accepted it and worked for them until they forced me to resign in 1969. I did NOT reject pressure from my coworkers to be a union member while I worked for the Park Forest Post Office, instead, I became a member and stayed a member. I did NOT enlist, I did NOT count on the GI Bill to pay for college, instead, I got accepted by UIC, I got student draft deferments 1966-1970, and I got a financial hardship draft deferment 1970-1971 because my father died suddenly in 1969. I did NOT remain a student at UIC, instead, I transferred to NIU in early 1969 and graduated from NIU in August of 1970. I did NOT wait for a job offer in 1970 that required a bachelor’s degree in management, instead, I accepted a job offer from Firestone Stores. I did NOT not reject a job offer in 1971 from the Democrats who ran IRS, instead, I accepted it and worked for them until I got a job offer in 1980 from the Democrats who ran GAO. I did NOT reject pressure from my coworkers to be a union member while I worked for IRS, instead, I became a member and stayed a member. I did NOT want to pay rent, instead, I bought a new town home in University Park in 1972, a studio condo in downtown Chicago in 1974, and a one bedroom condo in downtown Chicago in 1976. My wife and I bought a home in Wheaton and in 1978 and we had one built in Wheaton in 1984. I did NOT seek promotions by helping my IRS and GAO Democrat superiors and supervisors get rid of thier employees who were Republican, White, male, and/or non-veteran who they had not promoted to GS-13 (currently $104,915) by age 25, GS-14 (currently $123,978) by age 30, GS-15 (currently $145,831) by age 35, and Senior Executive Service (currently $176,300) by age 40. Instead, I objected to the aforesaid, that is, I objected to patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination. Further, to get promotions, I a) earned job-related master’s degrees when I was 27 (business-Loyola), 31 (accounting-DePaul), and 48 (financial markets and trading-IIT), b) earned job-related professional certifications when I was 30 (CPA), 32 (Internal Auditor), 41 (Fraud Examiner), 45 (Government Financial Manager), 47 (Financial Services Auditor), and 48 (Forensic Accountant), and c) earned a a job-related professional license (CPA) when I was 32. Further, I served on the Executive Committee of the Association of Government Accountants Chicago Chapter 1983-1996. I did NOT avoid the stress of not passing the CPA examination, instead, I took graduate accounting courses at DePaul and the Becker CPA review and passed the examination on my first attempt in 1979. I did NOT avoid the stress of not passing the Certified Internal Auditor examination, instead, took internal auditing courses at Roosevelt and Institute of Internal Auditors and passed the examination on my first attempt in 1981. I did NOT avoid the opportunity in 1988 to become the only active member in GAO’s Chicago office in a class action lawsuit that charged GAO with reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation, insead I became an active member and remained an active member. I did NOT avoid the negatives of filing lawsuits, instead, I filed them and suffered tremendous retaliation from the defendants. Further, when my attorneys withdrew because the defendants refused to settle, I pursued those lawsuits pro se. I have NOT succumbed to adverse actions from my critics/opponents, instead, I continue on as a Republican Precinct Committeeman and as the GOPUSA Illinois Editor. However, previously, they a) stopped me from raising funds from DuPage County Republicans so that DuPage County Republicans could help sponsor Wheaton’s 2021 Independence Day parade and fireworks, b) promoted LGBTQ big time in downtown Wheaton in 2020, c) gerrymandered my precinct in 2015, d) ended my TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois chairmanship in 2012, e) ended my Wheaton Chamber of Commerce Government Affairs Committee membership in 2011, f) ended my MTRO webmaster service in 2010 and 2004, g) ended my Illinois Center Right Coalition (ICRC) Steering Committee membership in 2007, h) tried to get ICRC to censure me for my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters in 2006, i) ended my American Association of Political Consultants Midwest Chapter board membership in 2004, and j) viciously ended my bid to serve as MTRO Treasurer in 2004.

GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— Wheaton Bowl Banquet Hall – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com

Katlyn Smith recently wrote “Once ‘the place to go,’ Wheaton Bowl to be sold to gas station developer.”
https://www.dailyherald.com/news/20220303/once-the-place-to-go-wheaton-bowl-to-be-sold-to-gas-station-developer

In 2002, I got the Milton Township Republican Organization (MTRO) to hold its monthly meetings, and many of its other events, in the Wheaton Bowl Banquet Hall, and MTRO did that until the building closed in 2019. Since 1999, I have had the best record by far for attending MTRO monthly meetings and other events. I served as MTRO webmaster 2000-2004 and 2008-2010. In addition, while I served on the Illinois Center Right Coalition (ICRC) Steering Committee 2003-2007, I got ICRC to hold many of its meetings and other events in the Banquet Hall. While I served on the ICRC Steering Committee, I had one of the best records for attending ICRC monthly meetings and other events.

Since 2002, I have written many reports on monthly meetings and other events that MTRO and ICRC have held in the Banquet Hall and a) included those reports in GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters and b) posted those reports at http://www.gopillinois.com .

Since 2002, MTRO leaders, their operatives, and their dupes have blamed me and by GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters a) for Jim Ryan being defeated by Rod Blagojevich and b) for all the other losses that Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct have suffered..

In 2004, in the Banquet Hall, MTRO leaders, their operatives, and their dupes a) ended my MTRO webmaster service and b) viciously crushed my bid to serve as MTRO Treasurer.

In 2006, in the Banquet Hall, ICRC leaders, their operatives, and their dupes almost succeeded in getting ICRC to censure me for my GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails. I should write a book about those who blamed me and blamed my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters for Bill Brady losing to Jim Oberweis and to Judy Baar Topinka in the 2006 Illinois Republican Party gubernatorial primary.

In 2007, in the Banquet Hall, ICRC leaders, their operatives, and their dupes succeeded in throwing me off the ICRC Steering Committee.

In 2010, MTRO leaders, their operatives, and their dupes ended my MTRO webmaster service.

During 2019, MTRO leaders, their operatives, and their dupes hinted/implied/argued/shouted that my continuing success since 2009 in getting Wheaton to ban video gambling had caused Wheaton Bowl great financial harm.

I should write a book about the many extremely derrogatory things that certain past and present MTRO and ICRC leaders, their operatives, and their dupes have said about me and about my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters in the Banquet Hall.

Further, I should also write a book about the extremely derrogatory things that certain past and present MTRO leaders, their operatives, and their dupes have said and done since 2005 to stop me from raising funds from DuPage Republicans so that DuPage Republicans could help sponsor Wheaton’d Independence Day parade and fireworks.

Taxes Inflation Corruption Crime Election Integrity Jobs Education Border Crisis and Add Your Own.” I responded with all of the above plus promoting the Republican Party platform including a) promoting its individual responsibility plank, that is, opposing the promotion of dependency on government and charity, b) promoting its traditional marriage/family plank, that is, opposing the promotion of IGBTQ, c) promoting its right to life plank, that is, opposing the promotion of abortion, d) promoting its immigration plank, that is, promoting E-Verify and opposing the promotion of mass/illegal immigration, e) promoting its illegal drugs plank, that is, opposing the promotion of pot, f) promoting its Second Amendment plank, that is, opposing the promotion of more gun controls, and g) promoting its equal opportunity plank, that is, opposing the promotion of CRT, 1619, reparations, race and gender based preference giving, Affirmative Action, Diversity, Equality, Inclusion, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and up-or-out.

— This year, will Wheaton again let Republicans help sponsor its Independence Day parade and fireworks? – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com

Last year, Wheaton stopped me from raising funds from Republicans so that Republicans could help sponsor its Independence Day parade and fireworks, something that I had done since 2005. Last year, Glen Ellyn had tremendous success in raising funds from sponsors for its Independence Day parade and fireworks. SEE: https://www.glenellyn4thofjuly.org/sponsors This year, will Wheaton again let Republicans help sponsor its Independence Day parade and fireworks? I urge the following to urge Wheaton to let me raise funds from Republicans so that Republicans can again help sponsor Wheaton’s Independence Day parade and fireworks: a) Republican candidates who will have entries in Wheaton’s Independence Day parade, b) leaders of the Milton Township Republican Organization, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Illinois Republican Party, c) Republican leaders of Wheaton, Wheaton Park District, Wheaton Chamber of Commerce, Wheaton Downtown Association, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois, and d) Republican residents and businesses along the parade route.

— JULY 25, 2007 FLASHBACK: Republicans made parade great event – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com

(MY LETTER TO SUBURBAN LIFE EDITOR: One of the reasons why parents bring their children to parades is to see marching bands and animals. This year, for Wheaton’s Independence Day parade and fireworks, in my roles as the http://www.GOPUSA.com Illinois editor, as the TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois chairman, and as a Milton Township Republican precinct committeeman, I had the honor of recruiting Republicans and Republican organizations to sponsor two outstanding parade entries: The Chicago Highlanders Pipes and Drums band and Big Queenie, a 38-year-old, 10,000 pound Asian female elephant. With the elephant being the proud symbol of the Republican Party, I am very happy to report that Big Queenie won the parade’s Best Political Entry award. Outstanding Republican parade entries included Joe Birkett, DuPage County District 4 (Grant Eckhoff, Mike Formento, J.R. McBride and Debra Olson), Mike Fortner, Gwen Henry, Randy Hultgren, Chris Kachiroubas, Milton Township Republican Central Committee, Ron Paul supporters, Peter Roskam, Steve Sauerberg and Bob Schillerstrom. Big Queenie, who recently visited Wheaton with the Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey Circus at the DuPage County fairgrounds, walked the parade route behind Congressman Peter Roskam’s float. Many who stopped by the staging area before the parade kicked off took advantage of the opportunity to see the beautiful and very gentle elephant up close and take pictures of her. I hope that Republican sponsorship of Big Queenie and the outstanding Chicago Highlanders Pipe and Drums in the parade will become a tradition. Many thanks again to the following outstanding 30 Republicans and one Republican political organization who contributed from $50 to $250 each for a total of $3,300 to sponsor the Chicago Highlanders and/or Big Queenie: Mary Jo Arndt, Alan Bolds, Fred Bucholz, David Carlin, Roger Claar, Franco Coladipietro, Mike Connelly, Paul Daniels, Kirk Dillard, DuPage County Young Republicans, Bob Earl, Jim Flickinger, Mike Formento, Mike Fortner, Mike Gresk, Gwen Henry, Randy Hultgren, Bob Jacobsen, Chris Kachiroubas, Gary King, Mark Kmiecik, Bob Larsen, J.R. McBride, Debra Olson, Mike Prueter, Peter Roskam, Darlene Ruscitti, Leonard Sanchez, Ron Smith, Phil Suess and Tim Whelan. Also, many thanks again to All Star Printing for printing the many parade fliers that I hand-delivered to every home and business on the parade route.)

— Back in the “Good Old Days” – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com

I attribute my successes in life to my upbringing. I was born a male in 1948. My parents were White Missouri Synod Lutheran (MSL) 100% German American Crete residents. They had me baptized as a MSL. They sent me to Trinity Lutheran Grade School in Crete 1953-1961. They sent me to Hope Lutheran Grade School in Park Forest 1961-1962 to stay with the Missouri Synod. They had me confirmed as a MSL at Hope Lutheran Church in 1962. They sent me to Crete-Monee High School 1962-1966.

My outstanding parents never attended college. My father was the first of his ancestors to earn a high school diploma. My mother was raised on a farm in Grant Park on the Indiana border, she never attended high school, and she stayed home and raised my brother and I. My father fought brittle type 1 diabetes from age 14, worked in the office of a nasty chemical plant in Chicago Heights, almost always worked second jobs to pay the family’s bills, and died suddenly of heart failure in 1969 when he was 47 and I was 21.

My outstanding parents provided me with room and board in their home in Crete while I completed courses at UIC 1966-1968 and worked for the Park Forest Post Office 1966-1969.

Were it not for my upbringing, I would not have been able to earn a) a job-related bachelor’s degree in management from NIU when I was 21 in 1970 and job-related master’s degrees when I was 27 (business-Loyola), 31 (accounting-DePaul), and 48 (financial markets and trading-IIT), b) job-related professional certifications when I was 30 (CPA), 32 (Certified Internal Auditor), 41 (Certified Fraud Examiner), 45 (Certified Government Financial Manager), 47 (Certified Financial Services Auditor), and 48 (Forensic Accountant), and c) a job-related professional license (CPA) when I was 32.

Were it not for my upbringing, the Post Office would not have hired me in 1966. The Post Office hired me in 1966 because it could not find a qualified Democrat, minority, female, or veteran who would take the job. Firestone Stores would not have hired me in 1970. Oldsmobile would not have offered me a job in 1971. IRS would not have hired me in 1971. IRS hired me in 1971 because it could not find a qualified Democrat, minority, female, or veteran who would take the job. IRS would not promoted me in 1972, 1973, and 1974. GAO would not have hired me in 1980. GAO hired me in 1980 because it could not find a qualified Democrat, minority, female, younger person, or veteran who would take the job. GAO would not have promoted me in 1986 and GAO would have forced me to retire much sonner than it did in 1997. In 1997, in today’s dollars, my GAO salary was $136,387/year.

Were it not for my upbringing, I would not have been able to buy a new town home in University Park in 1972, a studio condo in downtown Chicago in 1974, and a one bedroom condo in downtown Chicago in 1976. Were it not for my upbringing, my wife and I would not have been able to buy a home in Wheaton in 1978 and to have one built in Wheaton in 1984.

Were it not for my upbringing, I would not have been able to buy new cars in 1966, 1967, 1968, 1971, 1973, etc. and collector cars in 1989 and 1994.

Back in the “Good Old Days:”

— Fathers could earn enough money that mothers could stay home and raise their children.

— The Republican Party strongly promoted individual responsibility, that is, the Republican Party opposed the promotion of dependency on government and dependency on charity.

— The Republican Party strongly promoted traditional marriage and the traditional family, that is, the Republican Party opposed the promotion of LGBTQ.

— The Republican Party strongly promoted right to life, that is, the Republican Party opposed the promotion of abortion.

— The Republican Party strongly promoted enforcement of immigration laws, that is, the Republican Party opposed the promotion of mass/illegal immigration.

— The Republican Party strongly promoted enforcement of drug laws, that is, the Republican Party opposed the legalization of pot.

— The Republican Party strongly opposed the promotion of vices, that is, the Republican Party opposed the promotion of booze, gambling, pot, and other vices.

— The Republican Party strongly opposed more gun control laws.

— The Republican Party strongly promoted equal opportunity, that is, it opposed race and gender based preference giving, that is, it opposed reverse discrimination and age discrimination.

If there was as much reverse discrimination in 1966 as there is today, I doubt that the Post Office would have hired me or UIC would have accepted me.

If there was as much reverse discrimination in 1969 as there is today, I doubt that NIU would have accepted me.

If there was as much reverse discrimination in 1970 as there is today, I doubt that Firestone Stores would have hired me.

If there was as much reverse discrimination in 1971 as there is today, I doubt that Oldsmobile would have offered me a job.

If there was as much reverse discrimination in 1971 as there is today, I doubt that IRS would have hired me or promoted me in 1972, 1973, or 1974.

If there was as much reverse discrimination in 1972 as there is today, I doubt that Loyola would have accepted me.

If there was as much reverse discrimination in 1976 as there is today, I doubt that DePaul would have accepted me.

If there was as much reverse discrimination and age discrimination in 1980 as there is today, I doubt that GAO would have hired me or promoted me in 1986 or let me work until I was 49 in 1997.

If there was as much reverse discrimination and age discrimination in 1992 as there is today, I doubt that IIT would have accepted me.

Career-wise, my “Good Old Days” include 1972, 1973, and 1974 when my IRS mentor promoted me to GS-9 (currently $60,840/year), GS-11 (currently $73,611/year), and GS-12 (currently $88,229/year). But then, my Democrat IRS superiors got rid of my mentor and everything went downhill from there. Career-wise, my “Good Old Days” also include 1986, 1987, and 1988 when my GAO mentor got me assigned to audits of IRS and promoted me to GS-13 (currently $104,915/year). But then, my Democrat GAO superiors got rid of my mentor and everything went downhill from there. Education-wise, my “Good Old Days” include 1970 when I earned a bachelor’s degree in management from NIU, 1976 when I earned an MBA from Loyola, 1980 when I earned a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul, and 1997 when I earned a master’s degree in financial markets and trading from IIT. My professional certification and professional license “Good Old Days” include 1979 when I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt and 1981 when I passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt and became a licensed CPA. Real estate-wise, my “Good Old Days” include 1972, 1974, and 1976 when I bought real estate and 1978 and 1984 when my wife and I bought real estate. New car-wise, my “Good Old Days” include 1966, 1967, 1968, 1971, etc. when I bought news cars and 1989 and 1994 when bought collector cars. My greatest “Good Old Days” include every day since I got married in 1978. But were it not for my upbringing, there would not have been any “Good Old Days.”

— Which Republican candidates for U.S. Senate, congressional, and statewide offices spoke at the Illinois Republican Party State Central Committee meeting Saturday morning January 26, 2022, in Bolingbrook? – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com

If I was still the TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois chairman, the organization would still be hosting candidate forums, and especially for candidates for U.S. Senate, congressional, statewide, Illinois Senate, Illinois House, DuPage countywide, DuPage County board, DuPage Forest Preserve, and judicial offices. I should write a book about my critic/opponents a) who objected to the candidates that I invited to participate in candidate forums and b) who objected to those who I invited to speak at TAPROOT events.

It would be great if the Illinois Republican Party would post on its website the federal, statewide, Illinois Senate, Illinois House, and judicial offices that will be on June 28, 2022 Republican primary ballots in Illinois and the announced candidates for those offices.

It would be great if the 102 Republican county party organizations would post on their websites the federal, statewide, Illinois Senate, Illinois House, judicial, countywide, county board, and forest preserve offices that will be on June 28, 2022 Republican primary ballots in their county the announced candidates for those offices.

It would be great if the Republican township party organizations would post on their websites the federal, statewide, Illinois Senate, Illinois House, judicial, countywide, county board, and forest preserve offices that will be on June 28, 2022 Republican primary ballots in their county the announced candidates for those offices.

Dennis Anderson recently wrote that “Shaw readers to determine questions for candidates.” SEE: https://www.shawlocal.com/northwest-herald/opinion/column/2022/02/21/anderson-shaw-readers-to-determine-questions-for-candidates/

What offices will be on June 28, 2022 Republican primary ballots in your precinct, who are the announced candidates for those offices, and how much do you know about them?

— What is the future of conservatism in America, in Illinois, in your county, in your township, in your municipality, and in your precinct? – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com

Nathan L. Gonzales recently wrote “The death of the conservative label. CPAC organizer doesn’t use the c-word any more.” SEE: https://rollcall.com/2022/02/24/the-death-of-the-conservative-label/ S. E. Cupp recently wrote “Conservatism is dead in this GOP. The speakers, authors, columnists and scholars who used to populate panels at CPAC are gone, replaced by Trump sycophants, wannabes, quacks like the MyPillow guy and sordid groups like white nationalists, Proud Boys and Oath Keepers.” SEE:
https://chicago.suntimes.com/columnists/2022/2/23/22947346/conservatism-is-dead-gop-republican-party-trumpism-s-e-cupp-column

Political parties exist to help elect candidates who can and will defend their platform. The Republican Party platform is conservative. It promotes individual responsibility, traditional marriage and family, right to life, enforcement of immigration laws, enforcement of drug laws, Second Amendment rights, and equal opportunity, that is, nor race or gender based preference giving. It opposes the promotion of dependence on government, dependency on charity, LGBTQ, abortion, mass/illegal immigration, booze, gambling, pot, and other vices, more gun control, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination.

I should write a book about the success that hate-filled conservative-hating conservative-haters have had in destroying conservativism in America, in Illinois, in DuPage County, in Milton Township, in Wheaton, and in my precinct. I would focus on RINO leaders of Illinois, DuPage County, Milton Township, Wheaton, Wheaton Park District, Wheaton Chamber of Commerce (WCC), Illinois Republican Party, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, Milton Township Republican Organization (MTRO), etc.

I would focus on the aforesaid a) who stopped me from raising funds from DuPage County Republicans so that DuPage County Republicans could help sponsor Wheaton’s 2021 Independence Day parade and fireworks, b) who promoted LGBTQ big time in downtown Wheaton in 2020, c) who gerrymandered my precinct in 2015, d) who ended my TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois chairmanship in 2012, e) who ended my WCC Government Affairs Committee membership in 2011, f) who ended my MTRO webmaster service in 2010 and 2004, g) who ended my Illinois Center Right Coalition (ICRC) Steering Committee membership in 2007, h) who tried to get ICRC to censure me for my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters in 2006, i) who ended my American Association of Political Consultants Midwest Chapter board membership in 2004, and j) who viciously ended my bid to serve as MTRO Treasurer in 2004.

I would focus on Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct since 2000, their political consultants, major donors, fundraisers, pollsters, campaign managers, campaign staff members, campaign volunteers, etc.

I would focus on the aforesaid who destroy those like me a) who they cannot manipulate or dominate, b) who refuse to glorify and praise them, c) who refuse to pander to them, d) who refuse serve as one of their operatives or dupes, e) who refuse to cover up their wrong doing, and/or f) refuse to give them money.

— Political parties exist to help elect candidates who can and will defend and advance their platform. – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com

The Chicago Tribune recently asked “For candidates, how important is toeing the party line? SEE: https://www.chicagotribune.com/suburbs/aurora-beacon-news/opinion/ct-abn-stanford-column-st-0227-20220227-lq2ybhdgzvcpzawpt5co2zs4q4-story.html

Political parties exist to help elect candidates who can and will defend and advance their platform. The Republican Party platform is conservative. But tragically, ever-increasingly, since at least the 1970s, the Illinois Republican Party (IRP) has been dominated by anti-conservative RINOs who reject the traditional marriage/family, right to life, immigration, illegal drugs, Second Amendment, and/or equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) planks in the Republican Party platform.

I should write a book about the aforesaid anti-conservative RINOs, their operatives, and their dupes. They focus on driving conservatives like me out of the IRP, that is, driving platform Republicans like me out of the IRP as well as the DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Milton Township Republican Organization (MTRO).

I would focus on past and present anti-conservative RINO leaders of the IRP, DuPage County Republican Organization, and MTRO. I would focus on past and present anti-conservative RINO leaders of Illinois, DuPage County, Milton Township, Wheaton, Wheaton’s West District, Wheaton Chamber of Commerce, Wheaton Downtown Association, and Wheaton Park District.

I would focus on the aforesaid a) who stopped me from raising funds from DuPage County Republicans so that DuPage County Republicans could help sponsor Wheaton’s 2021 Independence Day parade and fireworks, b) who promoted LGBTQ big time in downtown Wheaton in 2020, c) who gerrymandered my precinct in 2015, d) who ended my TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois chairmanship in 2012, e) who ended my WCC Government Affairs Committee membership in 2011, f) who ended my MTRO webmaster service in 2010 and 2004, g) who ended my Illinois Center Right Coalition (ICRC) Steering Committee membership in 2007, h) who tried to get ICRC to censure me for my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters in 2006, i) who ended my American Association of Political Consultants Midwest Chapter board membership in 2004, and j) who viciously ended my bid to serve as MTRO Treasurer in 2004.

— What influence do you have? What do you use that influence for? Who has done the most to reduce/end your influence? – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com

Tim Hetzner recently wrote “The Power Of Influence.” SEE: https://www.lutheranchurchcharities.org/devotions.html

What influence do you have? I have been a Republican Precinct Committeeman since 1999. I have been the GOPUSA Illinois Editor since 2000. I raised funds from DuPage County Republicans so that DuPage County Republicans could help sponsor Wheaton’s Independence Day parades and fireworks 2005-2019. I served as the TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois chairman 2005-2012. I served as a Wheaton Chamber of Commerce (WCC) Government Affairs Committee (GAC) member 2003-2011. I served as the Milton Township Republican Organization (MTRO) webmaster 2008-2010 and 2000-2004. I served as an Illinois Center Right Coalition (ICRC) Steering Committee (SC) member 2003-2007. I served as an American Association of Political Consultants (AAPC) Midwest Chapter (MC) board member 2001-2004.

What do you use that influence for? I have always used my influence to help elect candidates who can and will defend and advance the Republican Party platform, and especially its traditional marriage/family, right to life, immigration, illegal drugs, Second Amendment, and equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) planks.

Who has done the most to reduce/end your influence? I should write a book about those who have done the most to reduce/end my influence.

I would focus on RINO leaders of Illinois, DuPage County, Milton Township, Wheaton, Wheaton Park District, WCC, Illinois Republican Party, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, Milton Township Republican Organization (MTRO), etc.

I would focus on the aforesaid a) who stopped me from raising funds from DuPage County Republicans so that DuPage County Republicans could help sponsor Wheaton’s 2021 Independence Day parade and fireworks, b) who promoted LGBTQ big time in downtown Wheaton in 2020, c) who gerrymandered my precinct in 2015, d) who ended my TAPROOT chairmanship in 2012, e) who ended my WCC GAC membership in 2011, f) who ended my MTRO webmaster service in 2010 and 2004, g) who ended my ICRC SC membership in 2007, h) who tried to get ICRC to censure me for my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters in 2006, i) who ended my AAPC MC board membership in 2004, and j) who viciously ended my bid to serve as MTRO Treasurer in 2004.

— Dedication to the job – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com

While I worked for the Post Office 1966-1969, for IRS 1971-1980 and for GAO 1980-1997, I demonstrated far more dedication to the job than my superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates.

Michelle S. Zapier recently wrote “How to find meaning in your work, even if it’s ‘just a job’” SEE: https://www.fastcompany.com/90721065/how-to-find-meaning-in-your-work-even-if-its-just-a-job

Very few of my superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates took job-related college courses. I earned a job-related bachelor’s degree in 1970 and job-related master’s degrees in 1976, 1980, and 1997.

Very few of my superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates earned job-related professional certifications. I earned job-related professional certifications 1979, 1981, 1990, 1994, 1996, and 1997.

Very few of my superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates earned job-related professional licenses. I earned a job-related professional license in 1981.

— Assuming that I fully recover, a) what should I do with my http://www.gopillinois.com website and b) should I resume spending 10+ hours each and every day putting together GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters and sending them out like I did each and every morning since 2004 and each and every evening since 2015? For now, a) I list the websites on my website that I drew many of the articles from that I posted links to and b) I post articles that I write. Your suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Assuming that I fully recover, in my opinion, the main reasons why I should resume sending out the two newsletters a day ASAP is the fact that a) the June 28 Republican primary is rapidly approaching and b) the Illinois Republican communication void that I filled with those newsletters continues to exist. No one has done what I did. I sent out a newsletter each and every morning and each and every evening with links to articles of interest to Illinois Republicans that were posted on websites during the previous 12 hours. Between 2004 and January 9 of this year, those newsletters included links to 418,528 articles and information on many upcoming events.

Assuming that I fully recover, in my opinion, the main reasons why I should not resume sending out those newsletters is the fact that my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes continue to do everything that they can a) to stop me from sending out the newsletters and b) to stop everyone from reading the newsletters. Further, when my critics/opponents have taken adverse actions against me, far too few of those who read the newsletters have come to my defense. – Dave Diersen

Why GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters are stopped for now – Dave Diersen

http://www.gopillinois.com

— In 2004, I started putting together and sending out GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters each and every morning. In 2015, I started putting together and sending out GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters each and every evening too.

But for the first time, on Monday, January 10, 2022, a major health problem stopped me from doing that. I slipped and fell on ice hitting my head, right ear, and back while retrieving newspapers from my driveway apron early that Monday morning. I was in the intensive care unit at Central DuPage Hospital (CDH) Monday and Tuesday, and in a regular room Wednesday, and I was discharged late that afternoon.

But things went from bad to worse and I was readmitted to CDH on Sunday, January 16, 2022. I was found to have phenomena, a small stroke, and a urinary tract infection. I was subsequently discharged to Marianjoy rehabilition center and then recently discharged from Marianjoy. Then, I was diagnosed with major blood clots in my legs.

I am far from being back on “eight cylinders.” I continue to have severe headaches, severe aches and pains, and major problems standing, sitting, walking, urinating, defecating, sleeping, etc. I have lost almost all my hearing in my right ear. I have lost lots of sleep. All the many medications that I have to take have many severe side effects.

Of course, my goal is to get back on “eight cylinders” ASAP, but my speed of recovery is slow. It may be weeks if not months until I can again spend 10+ hours each and every day putting GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters together and sending them out. Until then, I focus on keeping http://www.gopillinois.com current and posting more articles on it that I have written.

Of course, many thanks to my outstanding wife and many thanks to those who have phoned me, emailed me, sent me get well cards, sent me flowers, etc.

— Diersen runs for 12th term as DuPage County Milton Township Precinct 9 Republican Precinct Committeeman in Wheaton – Dave Diersen

http://www.gopillinois.com

This morning, Thursday, February 10, I sent the following letter to the approximate 150 Republican voters in my precinct in their approximate 100 homes:

Dear fellow DuPage County Milton Township Precinct 9 Republicans:

I have been greatly honored to serve as the DuPage County Milton Township Precinct 9 Republican Committeeman since 1999. I am running again to serve another 2-year term starting June 28 notwithstanding the fact that I suffered a serious injury to my head and right ear and I have not yet fully recovered. I slipped and fell on ice early Monday January 10 while I was getting the newspapers on my driveway.

My outstanding wife and several of my outstanding fellow Milton Township Republican Precinct Committeemen have volunteered to circulate the nominating petitions so that I can file them on March 7 to be on the June 28 DuPage County Milton Township Precinct 9 Republican primary ballot. If you might be interested in signing my nominating petition, please phone me at 630-653-0462 or email me at diersen@aol.com ASAP.

I hope to be recovered soon enough so that I can bring to your home a copy of the sample ballot and campaign literature from the candidates as soon as they are available. But if not, I will prepare envelopes with the aforesaid documents and several of my outstanding fellow Milton Township Republican Precinct Committeemen have agreed to deliver them to your home for me. Sadly, this will be the first time that I cannot gather signatures for the candidates for a primary. I have the best record for attending Milton Township Republican Organization meetings and fundraisers since 1999.

For information on which offices and which candidates will be on the ballot, please visit https://illinois.gop/  and https://www.dupagegop.com/ and https://miltongop.org/ .

For information on voter registration, voting by mail, and early voting, please visit https://dupageco.org/election/ or phone the DuPage County Election Division at 630-407-5600.

Of course, please feel free to contact me with any comments or questions that you might have.

Again, I have been greatly honored to serve as your Republican Committeeman. I would greatly appreciate your vote for me on the June 28 Republican primary ballot. I will do everything that I can to help elect those Republican candidates who win the June 28 primary election to also win the November 8 general election.

Thanks again,

Dave Diersen

— Steering Democrats to precincts – Dave Diersen

http://www.gopillinois.com

From what I see watching home purchases in my precinct since 1984, it ever-increasing looks like Democrat realtors steer home buyers to my precinct who are Democrat, moderate, liberal, LGBTQ, non-Protestant, and/or non-German American. Ever-increasingly, it looks like Democrat realtors stress to potential home buyers a) that ever-increasingly, Democrats get more votes in the precinct, for example, Biden got 269 votes while Trump got only 157, b) that there are LGBTQ-promoting churches immediately north and south of the precinct, c) that the Wheaton Warrenville School District 200 Administration Headquarters is in the precinct, and d) that a grade school and middle school are in the precinct.

SPRINGFIELD STATE JOURNAL REGISTER
— AUGUST 16, 2012 FLASHBACK: A bunch of political info — daily – Bernard Schoenburg (COMMENT: I started sending out GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters in 2000. Between January 1, 2005 and January 9, 2022, those newsletters when out each and every morning, and between January 1, 2016 and January 9, 2022, they went out each and every evening too. Those newsletters included links to 418,528 articles and information on many upcoming events.
https://www.sj-r.com/story/news/state/2012/08/16/bernard-schoenburg-bunch-political-info/41733104007/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: There are lots of websites that compile political news, and I think it’s time I share one that I find quite interesting. It’s at www.gopillinois.com, and, as you can tell by its address, it has a Republican flavor. That is an understatement reinforced with the comments added by the compiler himself — DAVID DIERSEN of Wheaton. He introduced a recent UPI story about Republicans’ views on the drought and wildfires by saying: “Democrats blame everything bad, including bad weather, on Republicans, especially on Republicans who are conservative, White, male, older, non-poor and non-veteran.” And talking of a New York Times article about a photographer arrested while on assignment in the Bronx, Diersen wrote that since 2000, he has been thrown out of, barred from, or not advised of news conferences “by Democrats, Democrat plants, RINOs (Republicans in name only), their operatives, and their dupes.” Thus, if you don’t want to read some very pointed comments, you may not want to go to http://www.gopillinois.com. But you would be missing a treasure of links to the day’s news and opinion. Diersen, 63, is a retired federal employee who became the Illinois editor of a national GOP website in 2000, and since 2004 has put out his own Illinois compilation every day. There’s usually about 50 articles daily, he says. He’s generally up by 3 a.m. He says he spends at least 10 hours a day on this passion of his, with no pay, and has put out links to more than 117,000 articles. As his comments above hinted, party regulars don’t always greet his work with relish. He includes dissident voices within the GOP tent, and some whose credibility is questionable. But he puts it all out there. He’s a GOP precinct committeeman, and he believes in people having information. He also wants to help elect Republican candidates who “will defend and advance the party’s platform.” The site makes available plenty of Diersen history, too, including how his “liberal Democrat superiors,” in his view, forced him to take early retirement at 49 from the U.S. General Accounting Office, “because of his opposition to race and gender based preference and his participation in a class action lawsuit” on that subject. He wouldn’t mind my telling you that he also passed his CPA and Certified Internal Auditor exams on first attempts more than three decades ago. Agree or disagree with him, but Diersen provides a bunch of interesting information — every day.)

— What should motivate Republicans to help elect Republican candidates – Dave Diersen

Political parties exist to help elect candidates who can and will defend and advance their platform. The Republican Party platform is conservative. The platform promotes individual responsibility, traditional marriage and family, right to life, enforcement of immigration laws, enforcement of illegal drug laws, defense of Second Amendment rights, and equal opportunity, that is, no race or gender based preference giving. The platform opposes promotion of dependency on government and charity, LGBTQ, abortion, mass/illegal immigration, pot, gambling, booze, and other vices, more gun control laws, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination.

Beyond tragically, ever-increasingly, Republican candidates in Illinois fail/refuse to defend/advance the aforesaid planks in the Republican Party platform. Ever-increasingly, they promote dependency on government and charity, LGBTQ, abortion, mass/illegal immigration, pot, gambling, booze, and other vices, more gun control laws, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination.

Beyond tragically, ever-increasingly, to get votes from Democrats, Libertarians, Greens, Independents, and RINOs, Republican candidates in Illinois hint/imply/argue/shout that they are anti-religious, anti-conservative, and/or anti-Republican.

Beyond tragically, ever-increasingly, Republican candidates in Illinois who reject the aforesaid planks in the Republican Party platform focus on a) getting rid of Republicans like me who support the aforesaid planks and b) getting rid of organizations like TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois and Illinois Center Right Coalition (ICRC) that support the aforesaid planks.

I should write a book about Republican candidates in Illinois, their operatives, and their dupes who have worked the hardest since 2000 a) to get rid of Republicans like me who support the aforesaid planks in the Republican Party platform and b) to get rid of organizations like TAPROOT and ICRC that support the aforesaid planks. I would focus on those who have done the most to destroy the Illinois Republican Party, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, Milton Township Republican Organization (MTRO), TAPROOT, and ICRC.  I would focus on those who have taken the most/strongest adverse actions against me including a) stopping me from raising funds from DuPage Republicans so that DuPage Republicans could help sponsor Wheaton’s Independence Day parade in fireworks in 2021, b) gerrymandering my DuPage County Milton Township Precinct 9 in 2015, c) ending my TAPROOT chairmanship in 2012, d) ending my Wheaton Chamber of Commerce Government Affairs Committee membership in 2011, e) ending my MTRO webmaster service in 2010 and 2004, f) ending my ICRC Steering Committee membership in 2007, g) almost getting ICRC to censure me for my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters in 2006, h) viciously ending my bid to serve as MTRO treasure in 2004, and h) ending my American Association of Political Consultants Midwest Chapter board of directors service in 2004. I would focus on the aforesaid who have done the most a) to stop me from sending out GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters and b) to stop everyone from reading hose newsletters.

I hope that many religious, conservative, and Republican organizations in Illinois will soon rate all the Republican candidates on June 28, 2022 ballots in Illinois on their promotion/rejection of the aforesaid planks in the Republican Party platform.

I should write a book about candidates who I have helped elect, but who then have dumped me. I would focus on those candidates a) who I have obtained signatures for on their nominating petitions, b) who I have obtained campaign sign locations for, and c) who I have delivered campaign literature for.

I would focus on those candidates who I gave credit to big time for contributing money to help sponsor Wheaton’s Independence Day parades and fireworks 2005-2019. I hand-delivered flyers to all the residences and businesses on the parade route listing them as being contributors.

My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes stress that none of those candidates came to my defense when my critics/opponents stopped me from raising funds from DuPage Republicans so that DuPage Republicans could help sponsor Wheaton’s 2021 Independence Day parade and fireworks.

— Non-Republicans use Critical Race Theory to destroy Republicans – Dave Diersen

http://www.gopillinois.com

Non-Republicans use Critical Race Theory (CRT) to destroy Republicans, and especially to destroy Republicans who are law enforcement officers, Trump supporters, conservative, patriotic, White, male, older, heterosexual, married, non-poor, gun owners, Christian, Protestant, Italian American, German American, and/or those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time. Non-Republicans use CRT to hint/imply/argue/shout that the more of the aforesaid that Republicans are, the more that they, their parents, their grandparents, their great grandparents, and the rest of their ancestors have been in America, the more that they have benefited from slavery and from discrimination against minorities and females. Non-Republicans use CRT to hint/imply/argue/shout that Republicans are White supremacists, Nazis, KKK members, haters, racists, sexists, bigots, and even worse things who should be gotten rid of once and for all.

Republican activists, candidates, elected officials, party leaders, major donors, political consultants, fundraisers, pollsters, campaign managers, campaign staff members, campaign volunteers, etc. who do not oppose CRT are non-Republicans a) who reject the equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) plank in the Republican Party platform and b) promote reverse discrimination and age discrimination.

— According to one Christian publication, Wheaton College is woke. – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com

Julia Duin has witten an article titled “An Angry Debate Over Critical Race Theory Splits Christian Colleges.” According to the article, “Evangelical groups that fall into Rae’s first category are fighting back. One Christian publication circulated the names of “woke” Christian institutions, including evangelical stalwarts such as Wheaton College near Chicago (Billy Graham’s alma mater); Baylor University in Waco, Texas, and Samford University in Birmingham, Ala. Last April, Wheaton’s first-ever “Racialized Minorities Recognition Ceremony” got some criticism and tellingly, a YouTube video for the event had the comments turned off. In an interview last April with the magazine Sojourners, Wheaton philosophy professor Nathan Cartagena said teaching his class on critical race theory was “much harder” because some students were saying the theory “is of the devil.” Cartagena did not respond to a request by Newsweek for comment.” SEE: https://www.newsweek.com/angry-debate-over-critical-race-theory-splits-christian-colleges-1678626

Wheaton College has done virtually nothing to stop anti-Christians from taking over Wheaton College, Wheaton Chamber of Commerce, Wheaton Park District, Wheaton Downtown Association, Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois. In 2021, Wheaton College let anti-Christians stop DuPage Republicans from helping sponsor Wheaton’s Independence Day parade in fireworks.

— Why did GAO hire me in 1980? Why did IRS hire me in 1971? Why did the Post Office hire me in 1966? – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com

Democrats run GAO, IRS, and the Post Office. GAO hired me in 1980 because it could not find a qualified Democrat, minority, female, younger person, or veteran who would take the job. IRS hired me in 1971 because it could not find a qualified Democrat, minority, female, or veteran who would take the job. The Post Office hired me in 1966 because it could not find a qualified Democrat, minority, female, or veteran who would take the job. Emma Goldberg asks “Do You Know Who That Worker You Just Hired Really Is?” and says “Employers love to talk about “authenticity.” But psychologists say nearly everyone uses some form of deception to get a job.” SEE: https://www.nytimes.com/2022/02/17/business/jobs-hiring-fraud.html

The aforesaid Democrats who hired me erroneously believed that they could turn me into a Democrat. They erroneously believed that taking adverse actions against me would do the trick. My Democrat Post Office superiors disallowed my sick leave requests in 1968 and 1969 and forced me to resign in 1969. My Democrat IRS superiors disallowed my partial day per diem claims in 1974, got rid of my mentor in 1975, disallowed my education deductions in 1978, and did not promote me beyond GS-12. My Democrat GAO superiors forced me to take a $20,901 (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980, kept me off audits of IRS for all but 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for GAO, gave me unfair job assignments, unfair performance expectations, and unfair performance appraisals, got rid of my mentor in 1987, did not promote me beyond GS-13, always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes, and forced me to retire in 1997 when I was 49 years old.

They picked me because I was Republican, draft avoider, conservative, White, male, Protestant, German American, and my ancestors have been in America for a long time. They picked me because I was a union member while I worked for the Post Office 1966-1969 and while I worked for IRS 1971-1980. They picked me because I opposed race and gender based preference giving. They picked me because in 1988, I became the only active member in GAO’s Chicago office in a class action lawsuit that charged reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation. They took many adverse actions against me and forced me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years old.

Deloitte is hiring a Forensic Accountant in Chicago. SEE: https://www.linkedin.com/jobs/view/forensic-accountant-at-deloitte-2920575907 . Would Deloitte have hired me If Deloitte had been hiring a Forensic Accountant in 1997 when I was 49 years old after my Democrat GAO superiors forced me to take their early retirement “offer?” If not, why not? I became a Forensic Accountant in 1997 when I was 48 years old. I became a Certified Financial Services Auditor in 1996. I became a Certified Government Financial Manager in 1994, I became a Certified Fraud Examiner in 1990. I became a licensed CPA in 1981. I passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981. I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1997. I earned a master’s degree in financial markets and institutions from IIT in 1997. I earned a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980. I earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976. I worked for GAO 1980-1997, the last 11 years of which at the GS-13 Step 1-10 Levels, currently $104,914-$136,387/year and the last 8 of those years on audits of federal financial regulators. Further, I had worked for IRS 1971-1980, the last 5 1/2 years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 Levels, currently $88,229-$99,994/year.

I believe that Deloitte would not have hired me a) because I am a conservative White male Missouri Synod Lutheran German American non-veteran Republican born in 1948, b) because I have always opposed political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination, c) because I became an active member in a class action lawsuit in 1988 that charged my Democrat GAO superiors with reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation, and d) because of the many adverse actions that my Democrat GAO, IRS, and Post Office superiors had taken against me.

— What has shaped your views on Blacks – Dave Diersen

http://www.gopillinois.com

James Krohe Jr. has published a book titled “The Black Man’s President Abraham Lincoln’s legacy on race, reconsidered, stands up to critics.” SEE: https://www.illinoistimes.com/springfield/the-black-mans-president/Content?oid=14717546 The book focuses on what shaped Lincoln’s views on race.

All that I can recall about everyone around me concerning Blacks, including my parents, my grandparents, my brother, my relatives, my neighbors, my classmates, my superiors, my supervisors, my coworkers, my subordinates, etc., is compassion for Blacks.

What has shaped your views on Blacks? I had extremely little interaction with Blacks while I attended Trinity Lutheran Grade School in Crete 1953-1961, Hope Lutheran Grade School in Park Forest 1961-1962, Crete-Monee High School 1962-1966, UIC 1966-1968, NIU 1969-1970, Loyola 1972-1976, DePaul 1976-1980, Becker CPA Review 1978-1979, Roosevelt 1980-1981, and IIT 1992-1997.

I had extremely little interaction with Blacks while I did yard work and delivered newspapers in Crete 1962-1964. I had little interaction with Blacks while I washed dishes in Chicago Heights 1964-1966; cleaned golf shoes in Flossmoor, chipped slag in South Chicago Heights, and pumped gasoline in South Chicago Heights in 1966; worked on an automobile assembly line and as a security guard in DeKalb in 1970; sold tires, automotive services, and major appliances in Chicago Heights 1970-1971; and pumped gasoline in Chicago Heights 1971-1972. None of my superiors or supervisors were Blacks.

I had some interaction with Blacks while I delivered mail for the Park Forest Post Office 1966-1969. Some of my coworkers were Blacks, but none of my superiors or supervisors were Black. Some of the residences that I delivered mail to were occupied by Blacks.

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. That resulted in a) my Firestone Store boss firing me and b) my accepting a job offer from IRS.

I had lots of interactions with Blacks while I collected delinquent taxes for IRS in Harvey 1972-1973, in Joliet 1973-1974, and in Chicago 1971 and 1973-1980. Many of my coworkers were Blacks and many of the delinquent taxes that I collected were from Blacks. One of my IRS supervisors was Black while I worked in Chicago 1974-1976. He treated me far more fairly than the Asian American supervisor that I had immediately before him.

I had lots of interactions with Blacks while I audited federal agencies for GAO in Chicago 1980-1997. Some of my superiors and supervisors were Black and many of my coworkers and subordinates were Black. In 1997, when I was 49 years old, my Democrat GAO superiors a) forced me to take their early retirement “offer” and b) gave my job and my preferred corner office to my Black subordinate. While I served on the Executive Committee (EC) of the Association of Government Accountants Chicago Chapter 1983-1996, some of my fellow EC members were Black.

I bought a new town home in University Park in 1972. I lived in it full-time 1972-1974 and then weekends 1974-1976. I rented it out 1976-1984 and I sold it in 1984. Of course, that involved interactions with Blacks.

My Democrat IRS superiors got rid of him in 1975. If they had not done that, he would soon have promoted me to GS-13 (currently $104,915/year).

If my Democrat GAO superiors had not forced my mentor to retire, they would not have been able to a) not promote me to GS-14, b) throw me off audits of IRS, c) give me unfair job assignments, d) give me unfair performance expectations, e) give me unfair performance appraisals, f) always rank me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes, and g) force me to retire in 1997 when I was 49 years old.

— I have been fighting age discrimination since I was 25 years old in 1973. – Dave Diersen

http://gopillinois.com

I have been fighting age discrimination since I was 25 years old in 1974. The Democrats who run the federal government use Affirmative Action, Diversity, Inclusion, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, up-or-out, unfair job assignments, unfair performance expectations, unfair performance appraisals, budget cuts, early outs, etc. to get rid of their employees like me who are Republican, White, male, and/or non-veteran who they fail/refuse to promote to GS-13 (currently $104,915/year) by age 25, GS-14 (currently $123,978/year) by age 30, GS-15 (currently $145,831/year) by age 35, and Senior Executive Service (currently $176,300/year) by age 40. While I made GS-12 (currently $88,229/year) when I was 25 in 1974, my Democrat IRS superiors failed/refused to promote me to GS-13. I did not make GS-13 until I was 38 years old in 1986. My Democrat GAO superiors forced me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years old. Previously, they had given me unfair job assignments, given me unfair performance expectations, given me unfair performance appraisals, always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes, did not promote me beyond GS-13, got rid of my mentor in 1987, kept me off audits of IRS for all but 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for GAO, and forced me to take a $20,901 (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980.

Starting when I was 25, I complained about political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination. In 1988, when I was 40 years old, I became the only employee in GAO’s Chicago office who was an active member in a class action lawsuit that charged GAO with reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation. In 1998, I filed a lawsuit against GAO charging political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation. SEE: https://gopillinois.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/DiersenGAOFifthAmendedComplaint.pdf for the fifth amended complaint filed April 25, 2001. The lawsuit was filed by Annapolis, Maryland Attorney Walter T. Charlton in July of 1998 in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia.  In April of 2000, it was initially transferred to Judge Robert W. Gettleman in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois as Case No, 00cv2437, and then to Judge Amy St. Eve. Eve granted GAO summary judgement and the United States Court of Appeals for the 7th Circuit upheld that ruling in 2005.

Tragically for me, far too many Republican elected officials in Illinois have no problem with using Affirmative Action, Diversity, Inclusion, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, up-or-out, unfair job assignments, unfair performance expectations, unfair performance appraisals, budget cuts, early outs, etc. get rid of those like me who they cannot manipulate or dominate, who refuse to glorify and praise 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.

Tragically for me, far too many Republican elected officials in Illinois a) reject the equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) plank in the Republican Party platform and b) believe that federal employees who are veterans should receive preference all through their careers and not just for hiring.

— How do you respond to your critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes who demonize, denigrate, and condemn you by demonizing, denigrating, and condemning your hometown? – Dave Diersen

Government is nasty. Politics is nasty.

I lived in Crete 1948-1972. My outstanding parents were 100% German-Lutherans who had me baptized as a Missouri Synod Lutheran (MSL) in Trinity Lutheran Church in Crete in 1948. They sent me to Trinity Lutheran Grade School in Crete 1953-1961 and then to Hope Lutheran Grade School in Park Forest 1961-1962 to stay with the Missouri Synod. They had me confirmed as a MSL at Hope Lutheran Church in 1962 and sent me to Crete-Monee High School 1962-1966. I lived with my parents in their home in Crete and my brother 1954-1972 and a) while I took courses at UIC 1966-1968, b) weekends during my first semester at NIU in 1969, c) the summer of 1969, d) while I worked for the Firestone Store in Chicago Heights 1970-1972, e) while I worked for IRS in Chicago 1971 and for IRS in Harvey in 1972 , and f) while I took graduate business courses at Loyola in 1972.

My nasty “Republican” critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes in Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Cook County hinted/implied/argued/shouted that while I lived in Crete 1948-1972, Crete was full of disgusting German-MSLs who were White supremacists, Nazis, KKK members, haters, racists, sexists, bigots, and even worse things.

Democrats, Libertarians, Greens, Independents, and RINOs despise conservatives, if not hate conservatives, and especially conservatives who are Republican, White, male, older, heterosexual, patriotic, non-veteran, married, non-poor, gun owners, Christian, Protestant, Italian American, German American, Trump supporters, law enforcement officers, and/or those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time.

— Ever-increasingly, hate-filled Trump-hating Trump-haters use the capitol riot to promote hatred against those who do not share their hatred against Trump – Dave Diersen

http://www.gopillinois.com

Ever-increasingly, hate-filled Trump-hating Trump-haters use the capitol riot to promote hatred against those who do not share their hatred against Trump. Last year, hate-filled Trump-hating Trump-haters stopped me from raising funds from DuPage Republicans so that DuPage Republicans could help sponsor Wheaton’s Independence Day parade and fireworks.

The more that you oppose anti-religious, oppose anti-conservative, and/or oppose anti-Republican policies, the more that Democrats, Libertarians, Greens, Independents, and RINOs call you a “far-right extremist.”  I should write a book about my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes who have demonized me, denigrated me, and condemned me the most as being a “far right extremist.”

— One of the biggest mistakes that I made in life was avoiding the draft. – Dave Diersen

http://www.gopillinois.com

One of the biggest mistakes that I made in life was avoiding the draft. I sought and obtained a) student draft deferments 1966-1970 and b) a financial hardship draft deferment 1970-1971. In 1966, I could have, but I did not, challenge being 1-A instead of 4-F a) because my eyesight could not be corrected to 20-20, b) because I had partial red/green color blindness, and c) because I had Osgood-Schlatter disease SEE: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osgood%E2%80%93Schlatter_disease  I could walk, but I could not run. Starting in 1966, Democrats, Libertarians, Greens, Independents, and RINOs have demonized me, denigrated me, and condemned me for avoiding the draft. They especially demonized me, denigrated me, and condemned me to my Democrat Post Office, Firestone Stores, IRS, and GAO superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates who were veterans. Democrat veterans played a major role in all the adverse actions that my Democrat Post Office, Firestone Stores, IRS, and GAO superiors took against me. I should write a book about them and the adverse actions that they took against me. They would not have taken those adverse actions against me if I was a veteran.

While I worked for the Democrats who ran GAO 1980-1997, the last 11 years of which at GS-13 Step 1-10 levels, currently $104,915-$136,387/year, I increasingly worked as a referencer, that is, as a fact-checker. That work required assuring the accuracy and support for each and every word, number, table, graph, chart, conclusion, opinion, and recommendation in GAO reports. In addition, I worked for IRS 1971-1980, the last 5 1/2 years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 levels, currently $88, 229-$99,994/year. My other fact-checking qualifications include my becoming a Forensic Accountant in 1997, Certified Financial Services Auditor in 1996, Certified Government Financial Manager in 1994, Certified Fraud Examiner in 1990, licensed CPA in 1981, Certified Internal Auditor in 1981, and CPA in 1979.

http://gopillinois.com

When you were in grade school and in high school, were you viewed as being “college material?” I was not. Neither of my outstanding parents attended college. My father was the first of his ancestors to earn a high school diploma. My mother never attended high school. I just barely made it into the upper 20% of my high school class. My ACT score was only 24. I washed dishes for the minimum wage during my junior and senior years and the summer in between. Never-the-less, UIC accepted me.

— Money Magazine – Dave Diersen

http://gopillinois.com

In its February 1978 issue, Money Magazine published a 4-page article about me and my future wife. The article reads like Money Magazine took advice from my Democrat IRS superiors on how to a) foist negative government stereotypes on me, b) paint me as being grossly overpaid, and c) paint my education deductions as being improper. The article hints/implies/argues/shouts that the graduate business courses that I took at Loyola 1972-1976 and the graduate accounting courses that I took at DePaul 1976-1980 a) did not relate to my job duties, b) did not maintain or improve my job skills, c) were taken by me to get a job in the private sector, d) were taken by me to qualify me for a “new trade or business,” and e) were a distraction. Money Magazine and IRS would not have done that if I had been a Democrat, minority, female, and/or veteran. In its article on me, Money Magazine called the studio condo that I bought in downtown Chicago in 1974 my pied-a-terre. In fact, I bought the condo for three reasons. First, so that I could walk to work at my new IRS job in the Loop. Second, so that I could walk to graduate business classes at Loyola. And third, I could not sell my University Park town home without suffering a big loss. Of course, ever since the article was published, all my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have used everything in it that they could against me. I should have sued Money Magazine.

— Why might make your critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes work less hard against you in the future? – Dave Diersen

My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes might work less hard against me in the future because they have already a) stopped me from raising funds from DuPage Republicans so that DuPage Republicans could help sponsor Wheaton’s Independence Day parade in fireworks in 2021, b) gerrymandered my DuPage County Milton Township Precinct 9 in 2015, c) ended my TAPROOT chairmanship in 2012, d) ended my Wheaton Chamber of Commerce Government Affairs Committee membership in 2011, e) ended my Milton Township Republican Organization (MTRO) webmaster service in 2010 and 2004, f) ended my Illinois Center Right Coalition (ICRC) Steering Committee membership in 2007, g) almost got ICRC to censure me for my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters in 2006, h) viciously ended my bid to serve as MTRO treasure in 2004, and h) ended my American Association of Political Consultants Midwest Chapter board of directors service in 2004. Further, because of my January 10 fall, I might never again be able to send out GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters each and every morning and each and every evening.

— If I was still the TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois chairman and an Illinois Center Right Coalition Steering Committee member, those organizations would be hosting candidate forums. – Dave Diersen

http://gopillinois.com

I served as the TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois chairman 2005-2012 and as an Illinois Center Right Coalition (ICRC) Steering Committee (SC) member 2003-2007. If I was still the TAPROOT chairman and if I was still an ICRC SC member, those organizations would be hosting candidate forums. Those who ended my TAPROOT chairmanship viciously disapproved of, if not hated those who I invited to speak at TAPROOT events a) because they were “too conservative” and b) because they could not manipulate or dominate them, they refused to glorify and praise them, they refused to pander to them, they refused to serve as one of their operatives or dupes, they refused to cover up their wrong doing, and/or they refused to give them money. I should write a book about those who took the lead in ending my TAPROOT chairmanship and my ICRC SC membership.

We would also disclose that the home’s exterior footing tiles were improperly laid at its southeast corner. However, we would also disclose that the builder installed steel reinforcement in the foundation walls and interior footing tiles to compensate for that. We would also fully disclose that long wide cracks formed in the basement floor immediately after it was poured because it was not adequately protected from freezing temperatures. However, we would also disclose that we sealed those cracks and paid the builder to have all the home’s downspouts directly connected to the city storm sewer system. Further, we would also disclose the many expensive and time-consuming lot drainage improvements that we made to keep surface and subsurface storm water away from the home’s foundation.

— Daily Driver – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com

My wife and I are very happy with our 2003 Chevrolet Cavalier LS which has been our daily driver since I bought it from my aunt in 2010. But I am giving lots of thought to what its replacement should be if we lose use of it. I only buy American-nameplate vehicles. I prefer buying new vehicles. My wife and I prefer our daily driver to be a smaller vehicle. It would sit outside because our garage is full and my wife does not like driving in garages and backing out of garages. I am considering a new loaded Ford EcoSport and a new loaded Chevrolet Trax. Your comments and suggestions would be appreciated.

Our daily driver was a 1990 Ford Thunderbird LX 2004-2010, 1997 Chevrolet Cavalier 1996-2004, 1990 Ford Thunderbird LX 1994-1996, 1994 Ford Thunderbird during 1994, and 1978 Chevrolet Chevette 1978-1994. My daily driver was a 1962 Chevrolet BelAir 1971-1978, 1974 Dodge Dart 1973-1974, 1969 Dodge Charger SE 1968-1971, 1968 Oldsmobile 442 1967-1968, 1966 Pontiac Tempest Sprint 1966-1967, and 1958 Chevrolet BelAir 1964-1966.

What life-changing decisions have you made?

In 1964, I decided to and I subsequently did earn a college degree. I started taking college-preparatory courses at Crete-Monee High School.

In 1964, I decided to and I did get accepted by UIC in 1966 because I could afford to attend UIC. My parents could provide me with room and board in their home in Crete while I took courses at UIC. I graduated in the upper 20% of my class in 1966 and scored 24 on the ACT.

In 1964, I decided to and I did pay for my college expenses by working part-time jobs. I washing dishes for the minimum wage in the basement of the S.S. Kresges in Chicago Heights 1964-1966. I cleaned golf shoes, chipped slag, and pumped gasoline in 1966. I delivered mail in Park Forest 1966-1969 and I was a union member. I worked on an automobile assembly line and as a security guard in 1970.

My outstanding parents sent me to Trinity Lutheran Grade School in Crete 1953-1961 and then to Hope Lutheran Grade School in Park Forest 1961-1962 to stay with the Missouri Synod.)

— Nasdaq’s diversity rule rankles GOP states – Thomas Barrabi
(COMMENT: I should write a book about Democrat plants, Libertarian plants, Green plants, Independent plants, and RINOs in the Illinois Republican Party, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Milton Township Republican Organization who reject the equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) plank in the Republican Party platform, that is, who promote reverse discrimination and who promote age discrimination. The more of the following that you are, the harder that the aforesaid work to get rid of you: Trump supporter, conservative, patriotic, Republican, American, White, male, older, heterosexual, married, non-poor, gun owner, Christian, Protestant, Italian American, German American, and/or if your ancestors have been in America for a long time.)
https://nypost.com/2021/12/31/nasdaqs-diversity-rule-rankles-republican-states/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A group of Republican-led states slammed Nasdaq’s implementation of a diversity disclosure rule for corporate boards this week, arguing in a court filing that the requirement is illegal and unconstitutional. The states outlined their position in a legal brief supporting a lawsuit in the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals, which seeks to block the rule. In the filing, the GOP administrations argued that Nasdaq rule “violates both the Constitution and exceeds the SEC and Nasdaq’s statutory authority.” “It is unconscionable to see discrimination so blatantly put on display by requiring these companies to hire employees based solely on race, sex, and sexuality,” Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton said in a statement. “The SEC’s quotas violate the Constitution and federal civil rights laws by requiring that companies overlook a person’s relevant qualifications under the guise of promoting diversity,” he added. The rule requires companies listed on the exchange to publicly disclose diversity statistics for their boards of directors in a standardized format. The companies are urged to have at least two diverse directors, including one who self-identifies as female and one who self-identifies as an underrepresented minority or LGBTQ+ — and if not, they must explain why they did not meet the recommended standard.)

(COMMENT: Only about 20% of those who take the CPA and Certified Internal Auditor (CIA) examinations pass them on their first attempt. According to Democrats, if Republicans are more successful at something, it is because they benefitted from discrimination against Democrats. I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979 when I was a 30 year old IRS employee and the CIA examination on my first attempt in 1981 when I was 32 year old GAO employee. Of course, my Democrat IRS and GAO superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates hinted/implied/argued/shouted that I was successful because I had benefitted from discrimination against Democrats, and especially against Democrats who were minority, female, veteran, LGBTQ, moderate, liberal, non-married, non-Christian, non-Protestant, non-German American, those whose ancestors had not been in America for a long time, and those who had less money than I had.)

— 4 Best Practices for New Employee Onboarding
(COMMENT: After I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, I transferred from IRS to GAO in 1980. I should write a book about what my Democrat GAO superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates immediately did to destroy me. They stressed that I was Republican, conservative, draft avoider, Protestant, 100% German American, my ancestors had been in America since 1844, Crete resident 1948-1972, Wheaton resident since 1978, Corvette owner since 1971, GAO had forced me to take a $20,901 (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer, IRS did not promote me beyond GS-12, IRS disallowed my education deductions in 1978, IRS got rid of my mentor in 1975, IRS disallowed my partial day per diem claims in 1974, the Post Office forced me to resign in 1969, the Post Office disallowed my sick leave requests in 1969 and 1968, etc. They stressed that I opposed political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination. They stressed all the negative stereotypes that Money Magazine had foisted on me in its February, 1978 issue on me. They hinted/implied/argued/shouted that I was a White supremacist, Nazi, KKK member, hater, racist, sexist, bigot, and even worse things. Their demonizing me, their denigrating me, and their condemning me motived me a) to complete the requirements for a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980, b) to pass the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981, c) to become a licensed CPA in 1981, and d) to serve on the Executive Committee of the Association of Government Accountants Chicago Chapter 1983-1996.)

— It’s time for more equality in the legal field – ALICE SETRINI
(COMMENT: In 1979, when I was 30 years old, I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt. In 1980, I completed the requirements for a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul. In 1981, a) I passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt and b) became a licensed CPA.)
https://thehill.com/blogs/congress-blog/judicial/587536-a-higher-bar-its-time-for-more-equality-in-the-legal-field
(FROM THE ARTICLE: In fact, I would argue, it’s time to abolish the bar exam altogether. The typical path to practice law requires a person to be accepted to law school, graduate law school and pass the bar exam after an unlimited number of tries (in most states). For someone with ample wealth and resources, like Kardashian, multiple attempts to pass the bar are possible. However, each registration for the baby bar costs $624; the actual bar exam costs $670 per try. This is aside from the thousands of dollars spent on prep courses and tens, if not hundreds, of thousands to attend law school. A passing score on the bar is set to ensure that a significant percentage of test-takers fail. This does not ensure competency as much as it ensures that those with the most resources have the best chances of passing. In February of 2020, California saw a record low pass rate, with only 38 percent of first-time test takers passing, and just 26 percent overall. A better alternative to the bar exam or baby bar exam — one that looks to address systemic inequities and promotes competent attorneys — is diploma privilege. The concept of diploma privilege, or automatic licensure upon graduation from law school, is not new. Before the 1870s, people who wanted to practice law would serve as legal apprentices. Abraham Lincoln famously never went to law school, and is rightfully revered as one of our country’s greatest lawyers. The bar exam was so informal at the time, he once administered one from his bath. After the civil war, new law schools emerged, offering automatic admission as an incentive to attend. As historically black colleges and universities were established and law schools proliferated, opportunities for students of color to earn degrees increased; in response, the ABA rejected diploma privilege in favor of written examinations. However, these exams exclude minorities from passage, and do not test real lawyering capacity. At first this barrier to entry was by design. The ABA and the legal profession in general have a well-documented history of excluding women, African Americans, immigrants, and religious minorities.)

(COMMENT: My wife and I have always tried to live on just one of our incomes, granted, on whichever income was the highest. We have always kept close track of our income and expenses. We have always put the maximums into tax-deferred savings accounts. Living on just one of our incomes became much more difficult when my Democrat GAO superiors forced me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years old. That cut my income by 59%/year. Living on just one of our incomes became impossible when my wife retired. Ever-increasingly, we are spending more than my Civil Service Retirement System pension and our Social Security, and ever-increasingly, we have to spend down our retirement savings.)
https://www.gobankingrates.com/money/financial-planning/lifestyle-inflation-can-make-you-broke-even-with-high-income-how-to-not-fall-into-trap/

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Make a Budget. Now that you know exactly what you must spend each month, figure out how you’ll spend the leftover. That’s necessary to break the cycle of lifestyle inflation, said Jennifer Stein, a certified financial planner and director of client engagement at Priebe Wealth. “To escape this, look at the income you’re making, the bills you have, and what is left over,” Stein said. “Then determine how much you will save and make this your priority. Pay yourself first. After you’ve saved, you can use some of the extra disposable income for things you enjoy and can afford, whether it’s an extra vacation throughout the year or fancy date nights in the city.”)

BLOOMBERG LAW
— A Black deputy sheriff for DuPage County, Illinois isn’t entitled to a trial on his claims that he was denied a promotion to sergeant because of his race and that the county conspired to withhold promotions from Black deputies through artificially low performance evaluation scores, a federal court in Illinois ruled. Although the deputy suffered an adverse employment action by receiving a score of 67 on his performance evaluation instead of the minimum 70 necessary to sit for the promotional exam, he could not produce any evidence leading a reasonable jury to believe that the adverse employment action was due …
(COMMENT: The low performance evaluations that my Democrat IRS and GAO superiors gave me conflicted with the fact a) that I passed the CPA and Certified Internal Auditor examinations on my first attempt, b) that I earned master’s degrees in business, accounting, and finance, and c) that I became a licensed CPA, Certified Fraud Examiner, Certified Government Financial Manager, Certified Financial Services Auditor, and Forensic Accountant.)

https://www.wbez.org/stories/the-political-battle-for-illinois-counties/a2ef057e-aa35-4e06-b86a-7a4cd6fdb3cc
(FROM THE ARTICLE: In 2018, Pritzker made easy work out of predecessor Bruce Rauner’s reelection bid, routing the one-term Republican by nearly 16 percentage points. Pritzker did so while losing 86 out of Illinois’ 102 counties, but that showing amounted to an improvement for Democrats over previous elections. Admittedly, many of those 86 counties are sparsely populated. Regardless of the margins Rauner put up in them, they weren’t enough to overcome Pritzker winning four out of five of the collar counties and taking Cook County by historic margins. Pritzker defeated Rauner in Cook County by more than 836,000 votes. No gubernatorial candidate since at least the Roaring ’20s posted a winning margin that large in Cook County.)

— Orthodox rabbis call on US universities to suspend diversity programs. A recent study suggested that the programs spread antisemitism. – Tyler O’Neil
(COMMENT: In 1989, when I was 41 years old, after my Democrat GAO Chicago office superiors made it clear that to get rid of me, they would never again assign me to audits of IRS, they approved my request to be assigned to their group that audited federal financial industry regulators. That group was led by a GS-15 (currently $142,041-$172,500/year) Jewish younger female of Russian national origin. Many, if not most of my GAO superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates did not want to work with her and/or to work for her because she was Jewish, younger than they were, female, more liberal that they were, Russian national origin, demanding, wealthy, and/or had more education and/or professional certifications than they had. She had an MBA from the University of Chicago and had passed the CPA examination on her first attempt. She accepted me into her group because I had a) become a licensed CPA in 1981, b) passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981, c) earned a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980, d) passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, and e) earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976.)

FREEDOM’S JOURNAL
— A Deafening Silence – Patrick Hall
https://freedomsjournalinstitute.org/blog/2021/12/21/a-deafening-silence
(FROM THE ARTICLE: According to government crime statistics, if you are a police officer, you are 361times more likely to be killed by a black person than the other way around. Also, blacks being only 13% of the population, commit violent crimes at 7 to 10 times the rate of other Americans. Black crime is even more prevalent in our largest cities. For example, blacks committed 76 percent of all homicides in Chicago, IL, despite composing 35 percent of the city’s population. Blacks also accounted for 78 percent of all juvenile arrests. In the city of New York, even before the current chaos we witnessed following the death of George Floyd, blacks committed 75 percent of all shootings, 70 percent of all robberies, and 66 percent of all violent crimes, despite only composing 23 percent of the population. Here is another statistic hiding in plain sight that doesn’t fit the secular homily proselytized by the corporate media, NPR, Democratic Party, and the “only” Black-Lives-Matter bigots. Black commit over 52% of all homicides despite only 13% of the population. We can also add this data to the loud silence emanating from our nation’s racism industry entrepreneurs. In 2015 nearly 6000 blacks were murdered by other blacks.)

https://www.theepochtimes.com/smith-college-ex-staffer-sues-over-anti-white-racism-ideological-struggle-sessions_4168397.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Former Smith College administrative employee Jodi Shaw, a white woman, is suing the elite school in federal court for retaliation and racial discrimination including forced participation in humiliating ideological indoctrination sessions. David Pitvorak, who describes himself in his Twitter biography as an “individual rights attorney taking on Critical Race Theory in the courts,” is representing Shaw in the lawsuit. “We allege that Smith forced Shaw to undergo ritual racial humiliation and tasked her with implementing policies that racially segregated and discriminated against students,” Pitvorak tweeted. The 101-page lawsuit was filed Dec. 16 in the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts.)

(COMMENT: Should everyone be required to disclose the biggest things that their parents did to help them succeed? My outstanding parents had me baptized as a Missouri Synod Lutheran (MSL) in 1948, raised me as a MSL, and had me confirmed as a MSL in 1962. They sent me to Trinity Lutheran Grade School in Crete 1953-1961 and then to Hope Lutheran Grade School in Park Forest 1961-1962 to stay with the Missouri Synod. They provided me with room and board in their home in Crete a) 1966-1968 while I took courses at UIC, b) weekends during my first semester at NIU in 1969, and c) the summer of 1969. Neither of my outstanding parents attended college. My father fought type 1 diabetes from age 14, was the first of his ancestors to earn a high school diploma, worked in the office of a nasty chemical plant in Chicago Heights, almost always worked second jobs to pay the family’s bills, and died suddenly of heart failure in 1969 when he was 47 and I was 21. My mother never attended high school.)

In its 4-page hit piece on me in its February 1978 edition, Money Magazine a) painted me as being grossly overpaid, b) foisted negative government employee, political, racial, gender, religious, national origin, other stereotypes on me and on my wife, and c) painted my education deductions as being improper. Money Magazine would not have done that if I had been a Democrat, minority, female, veteran, non-Missouri Synod Lutheran, and/or non-German American.)
https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/nicholas-sandmann-reaches-settlement-with-nbc
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Sandmann became the center of attention after a viral confrontation between him and a Native American man named Nathan Phillips at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C., after attending events associated with the March for Life with classmates from Covington Catholic. Sandmann, wearing a “MAGA” hat, smiled at Phillips, an attendee of the Indigenous Peoples March who sang and played a drum in front of the teenager. Video of the encounter led to a media firestorm, and the ensuing litigation highlighted the reporting as incorrectly portraying the teenager as the face of an unruly and racist mob. The defamation lawsuit Sandmann filed against NBC Universal, which sought $275 million, said NBC “unleashed its vast corporate wealth, influence, and power against Nicholas to falsely attack him despite the fact that at the time, he was a 16-year-old high school student.”)

https://www.politico.com/newsletters/illinois-playbook/2021/12/17/ken-griffin-and-the-dark-money-of-2022-495511
— Ken Griffin and the dark money of 2022: SCOOP: The head of a dark money group that helped defeat last year’s graduated income tax measure is behind a campaign to elect a Republican candidate to run against Gov. JB Pritzker in 2022. And the money behind the effort will come from billionaire Ken Griffin. Mike Zolnierowicz, who was former Gov. Bruce Rauner’s first chief of staff, is working the levers of this operation, according to two Playbook sources. The former governor, however, is not involved. Zolnierowicz, or Mike Z, did not return a request for comment. Interviews with potential candidates have been held in secrecy with Zolnierowicz. Word got out, however, that there’s interest in Aurora Mayor Richard Irvin to run for governor and state Rep. Avery Bourne to join the ticket as lieutenant governor. Neither returned requests for comment. It’s part of a plan for Griffin to bankroll a slate of GOP candidates, reports Lee Enterprises’ Brenden Moore. A source close to Griffin said the Citadel CEO has not met with any candidates and has not yet decided who he is going to support. Griffin is clear about his concerns for Illinois. “We have real problems in Illinois with violence, corruption and profligate spending and I look forward to supporting candidates — be it Republican or Democrat — who will address these issues that plague our state,” he said in a statement to Playbook. A source who spoke to Playbook about Mike Z, also said Griffin has committed $150 million to the campaign, which would match what Pritzker spent in his first run for governor. Other media reports have attributed “multiple sources” as saying Griffin is willing to spend as much as $300 million in next year’s election. Those numbers are all speculation, according to a source close to Griffin. “The field for next year’s election hasn’t fully formed yet and Ken hasn’t made a decision. …There is also no spending number as there is no candidate.” Still pining for Griffin’s support are the current field of candidates: state Sen. Darren Bailey of Xenia, former state Sen. Paul Schimpf of Waterloo, and businessmen Gary Rabine and Jesse Sullivan. ABOUT IRVIN: “In 2007, Irvin became the first Black male elected to the Aurora City Council as an at-large member, and held that post until his election as mayor. … In October, he laughed off a Tribune reporter’s question about a gubernatorial run or whether he had been in talks with Griffin. There are also questions about Irvin’s positions on social issues that run counter to those held by the GOP base.” He has said he supports abortion rights, immigrant rights, and implementing sanctuary city-style policies for immigrants who lack legal status, reports Tribune’s Rick Pearson. ABOUT TODD RICKETTS: The Cubs co-owner “had previously announced he would not run for governor. But asked about that possibility [Thursday], his spokesman discouraged, but did not rule out, such a possibility, saying, ‘Ricketts has no current plans to run for governor,’” reports Crain’s Greg Hinz. — SHIA KAPOS

(FROM THE ARTICLE: As noted above, the Post asserts the existence of the gap based on its finding that Blacks are 12 percent of the population and 8 percent of high level executives. But high level corporate executives are not drawn from the general population or from the non-incarcerated population, of which Blacks make up a slightly smaller percentage. No reasonable person would argue that they should be. Corporate executives are, and should be, drawn from the portion of the U.S. population that it is highly accomplished. Do Blacks make up 8 percent of that population? I doubt it. Consider the portion of graduating high school students who are highly accomplished. First, to a disproportionate extent, Blacks don’t graduate from high school. Second, Blacks don’t make up 8 percent of the highly accomplished students who do graduate. We know this because, if it were otherwise, elite colleges wouldn’t have to grant stark racial preferences to attain 8 percent black representation. But statistics show that they must grant such preferences if they are to admit that percentage. Absent preferences, elite colleges, and many others, would be hard pressed to get to half of 8 percent. Next, consider law school performance. Do Blacks make up 8 percent of highly accomplished law students? I don’t think so. They didn’t when I was on the hiring and recruiting committee of my former law firm. Top law firms had to reach far below the top 10 percent to extend more than a tiny number of offers to Blacks. Additional evidence came from professor Amy Wax of the University of Pennsylvania law school, before the school silenced her. Wax had the audacity to say “I don’t think I’ve ever seen a black student graduate in the top quarter of the class [I teach to first year law students] and rarely, rarely in the top half.” Her law school was outraged by this statement, but didn’t (and I assume couldn’t) dispute its accuracy. Something very similar happened at Georgetown law school. It fired an adjunct professor for saying, privately, that Blacks make up a disproportionate number of low-performing students in the class she taught. Thus, if Blacks really do make up 8 percent of top corporate executives, it’s likely that they are overrepresented in these jobs if the criterion is merit, as it should be, rather than skin color. And if George Floyd’s tragic encounter with Derek Chauvin hasn’t helped pushed the percentage above 8 percent, that’s evidence that, as woke as it is, corporate America hasn’t completely lost its mind.)

NEW YORK TIMES
— You Love That House, but Should You Write a Love Letter? A common practice in real estate is coming under new scrutiny because of concerns about discrimination. And one state has made it illegal. – Candace Jackson
(DIERSEN: From what I see watching home purchases in my precinct since 1984, it ever-increasing looks like Democrat realtors steer homebuyers to my precinct who are Democrat, moderate, liberal, LGBTQ, non-Protestant, and/or non-German American. Ever-increasingly, it looks like Democrat realtors stress to potential homebuyers a) that ever-increasingly, Democrats get more votes in the precinct, for example, Biden got 269 votes while Trump got only 157, b) that there are LGBTQ-promoting churches immediately north and south of the precinct, c) that the Wheaton Warrenville School District 200 Administration Headquarters is in the precinct, and d) that a grade school and middle school are in the precinct.)
https://www.nytimes.com/2021/12/17/realestate/you-love-that-house-but-should-you-write-a-love-letter.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: But last year, the National Association of Realtors issued a warning about the practice, cautioning that it may make sellers and agents vulnerable to accusations of discrimination, as love letters often disclose personal details that can reveal buyers’ family status, religion, sexual orientation or race — all protected statuses under fair housing laws. (The Fair Housing Act prevents landlords, banks, real estate agents and anyone else involved in leasing or selling homes from discriminating on the basis of race, sex, disability status, religion, national origin or familial status; states like California recognize additional protected categories, including occupation and gender expression.) Realtors’ organizations in California and Ohio followed suit. And this year, the state of Oregon took it a step further, passing legislation banning such letters. Starting in January 2022, it will be illegal for a seller’s agent to pass a love letter along to a client in Oregon. Mark Meek, the Oregon State Representative who proposed the legislation, said the idea emerged from his own experience as a real estate agent, observing the disparity in homeownership among racial groups, something he formed a task force to address in 2018. In 2019, he said, the rate of white homeownership in Oregon was 65 percent, compared with 35 percent for Black residents and 40 percent for Hispanic residents. “Whoever is the successful bidder of a home should be based on the qualification of the offer,” Mr. Meek said. “Not the preference of that seller.”)

ACCOUNTANCY AGE
— “Still work to be done” on diversity in accountancy, industry leaders say. Research shows that more work is needed from firms. – Natasha Spencer-Jolliffe
(COMMENT: When I transferred from IRS to GAO in 1980 when I was 31 years old, a very high percentage of my superiors, supervisors, and coworkers a) were Democrats, b) were Whites, c) were males, d) were older, e) were veterans, f) had accounting degrees from non-Ivy League universities, g) were non-Protestant, and h) were non-German American. When Charles Bowsher took over GAO in 1981 and ran it for the next 15 years, he focused on getting rid of GAO employees who were Republican, White, male, older, non-veteran, and/or who had accounting degrees from non-Ivy League Universities and who had not made GS-13 (currently $102,188) by age 25, GS-14 (currently $120,755) by age 30, GS-15 (currently $142,041) by age 35, and Senior Executive Service (currently $172,500) by age 40. Extremely few GAO employees make the aforesaid promotion deadlines. My Democrat GAO superiors did everything that they could to get rid of me because I was Republican, White, male, old, non-veteran, my 1980 master’s degree in accounting was from DePaul, Protestant, German American, I had taken a $20,361/year in today’s dollars pay cut (a downgrade from GS-12 Step 5 to GS-9 Step 10) to transfer from IRS to GAO, I did not make GS-13 until I was 38 years old in 1986, I never made GS-14, and in 1987, they had gotten rid of the GS-15 GAO manager who had hired me in 1980, got me assigned to audits of IRS in 1986, and promoted me in 1986.. My Democrat GAO superiors would have gotten rid of me sooner if I had not earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976, passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981, became a licensed CPA in 1981, became a Certified Fraud Examiner in 1990, became a Certified Government Financial Manager in 1994, became a Certified Financial Services Auditor in 1996, became a Forensic Accountant in 1997, and earned a master’s degree in financial markets and trading in 1997.)

DEMOCRATIC PARTY
— THE CURRENT COMMITTEE SYSTEM
(COMMENT: GAO works for Congress. While I worked for the Democrats who ran GAO for almost 18 years, they periodically asked GAO employees for suggestions on how to improve GAO’s credibility with Republican Senators and Representatives. I suggested having at least two Republicans on GAO audit teams for every three Democrats. I also suggested not doing audits unless at least one of the requesters was Republican.)
https://archives-democrats-rules.house.gov/Archives/jcoc2d.htm

(FROM THE RULES: Party leaders also determine the ratio of majority to minority party members on each committee. Under current Democratic Caucus Rules, each standing committee (except Standards) must have at least three Democrats for every two Republicans. While this ratio roughly approximates the ratio of Democrats to Republicans in the overall Chamber, the majority party usually accords itself a super-majority on important panels including Appropriations, Budget, Rules, and Ways and Means.)
