Since 1966 when I was 18 years old, they have been especially furious that I got full-time CSRS credit while I worked only part-time for the Park Forest Post Office 1966-1969. Since 1993 when I was 45 years old, they have also been especially furious when I became eligible to take early retirement. They succeeded in forcing me to take it in 1997. But because of that, my CSRS pension is significantly less because of that. )

POLITICO ILLINOIS
— A GOP PROXY WAR: A battle is brewing between Aaron Del Mar, who is the Palatine Township Republican committeeman and Republican state central committeeman, and Jeanne Ives, a former state House member who ran for governor a few years back. How it started: Ives attacked Del Mar in her Sunday “Break Through” newsletter for forming a bipartisan slate to run in the 2025 Palatine township election. Ives calls the move “shocking,” given there was an opportunity to file with the Republican caucus. The full column is here. ( https://www.breakthrough-ideas.com/read/2024/11/15/aaron-del-mar-betrays-republicans-concocts-shared-power-agreement-w-democrats ) Del Mar defends it, telling Playbook that he joined the bipartisan slate knowing that in spite of Donald Trump’s victory earlier this month, Palatine is shifting blue and he didn’t want to risk Republicans potentially being beat out during the April 1, 2025, consolidated election. “My job as committeeman is to keep Republicans elected. We knew it would be possible by doing a slate. We are reasonable human beings and would have supermajority control,” Del Mar said, adding he received a death threat over the issue after it went public in Ives’ column. Why it matters: Del Mar and Ives are seen as potential statewide Republican candidates — maybe for governor — in 2026.

— Aaron Del Mar Betrays Republicans – Concocts Shared Power Agreement w/Democrats
https://www.breakthrough-ideas.com/read/2024/11/15/aaron-del-mar-betrays-republicans-concocts-shared-power-agreement-w-democrats
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Local Palatine Republicans were shocked this week when they were asked to sign nominating petitions for current Republican Township Officials, and later found out that they had never been told by the circulators that two of the candidates on those petitions are in fact, DEMOCRATS. Even more shocking than this, it turns out that the petition is for a brand-new political party in Palatine Township, formed with the blessing of the sitting Highway Commissioner who happens to be… the Palatine Township REPUBLICAN Committeeman himself, Aaron Del Mar, whose main job is to see that Republican Candidates get elected in the township. Del Mar is also the 5th Congressional District State Central Committeeman and the Illinois REPUBLICAN Party Co-Chairman. He ran for Lieutenant Governor as a Republican in 2022. All eight township positions are up for election and both the Republican and Democrat parties could have filed slates at their individual caucuses, that would have given their respective constituencies their rightful ability to vote at Caucus. However, this year, in a coordinated effort, neither the Republican or Democrat Township Committeemen filed to hold a caucus, and instead circulated petitions for a new Palatine Township United Party. Unless there are Independent Candidates that come forward prior to the Monday, November 18 deadline, this new “United Party” will have zero opposition, as there will be no township races on the general election ballot, thus disenfranchising all of the voters of Palatine Township. Palatine Township has been held by Republicans for more than 40 years. This election season, the Clerk and one Trustee chose not to run again. But, instead of recruiting two new Republicans for these open positions, the remaining Township Officials chose to secretly make a deal with Democrats and run on a slate together. The slate was formed with the blessing of the Republican Committeeman Aaron Del Mar and Republican Township Supervisor, Andy-John Kalkounos. Committeeman Del Mar chose not to email members of the Palatine Township Republican Organization (which he heads) or share on its website any information about the efforts to form a new bipartisan party. Longtime Palatine Township Republican voter Vicki Wilson noted, “Not much shocks me anymore, but it is egregious that Del Mar and Kalkounos would deceive us like this and betray the trust of the hard-working volunteers and Republican voters in Palatine Township. They care only about maintaining their own paid political positions with as little effort as possible. It is the duty of the Committeeman to bring people into the Republican tent, sharing why our principles work best for everyone. This is a betrayal on numerous levels. With a uni-party, the voters always lose.” Both Natalie Sahinoglu and James Sloan are Democrats. Sloan voted in Democrat Primaries in 2016, 2018, and 2020. Sahinoglu voted in Democrat Primaries in 2020, 2022, and 2024. There is no record of either of them voting in a Republican Primary. Further proof that Sahinoglu and Sloan are Democrats comes from the Greater Palatine Area Democrat website under a calendar post asking followers to get petition signatures for the bi-partisan slate Sahinoglu and Sloan are a part of: “We have a chance to get two Palatine Democrats on the Township Board. Natalie Sahinoglu and James Sloan are running on a bi-partisan slate for Palatine Township Board. If this slate gets enough signatures, they will be the only candidates on the April 1, 2025 ballot for Palatine Township Board, and they will be voting members of the board.” Statement from Former Republican State Representative Tom Morrison: “It’s the duty of our Republican candidates and elected officials to go out, do the work, and make an honest case to voters. There is a difference between the parties and their governing philosophies. It’s one thing to attempt to find common ground or work across the aisle with other duly elected officials AFTER an election. But it seems our current Palatine Republican leadership would rather capitulate, BEFORE the fight. For those of us who’ve worked for decades to help keep Palatine in Republican hands, I disagree strongly with this move.” Statement from Jeanne Ives, former State Representative and current State Central Committeewoman (3rd District): “I’m calling on Aaron Del Mar to resign from all Republican leadership positions. Republican leaders do not recruit and run with Democrats on a bi-partisan slate. Republicans just showed gains in Illinois with Trump policies on the ballot. We need to expand on that momentum, not work to elect Democrats under the control of Pritzker who both vilifies Republicans and opposes common sense policies.” Monday, November 18th, is the last day to file petitions for the township races. Any qualified resident can still file to run as an Independent for any of the township offices. The only other option to oppose this slate is for a qualified resident to run as a write-in candidate.)

Gallup finds that 31% of Americans don’t trust “the media to report the news ‘fully, accurately and fairly.’” As Steven Brill once observed: “When it comes to arrogance, power, and lack of accountability, journalists are probably the only people on the planet who make lawyers look good.”)

— Trump Pledged To Stop DEI And Fire Woke Bureaucrats. Here’s How He Can Do It. ‘There is a general feeling of dread among everyone,’ one career bureaucrat said. (COMMENT: While I worked for the Democrats who ran the federal government for almost 30 years, they ever-increasingly used Affirmative Action, DEI. up-or-out, and budget cuts to get rid of their Republican employees who like me were conservative, White, male, older, non-veteran, Protestant, German American, and/or had ancestors who had been in America for a long time. I should write a book about the aforesaid.)
https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-pledged-to-stop-dei-and-fire-woke-bureaucrats-heres-how-he-can-do-it
(FROM THE ARTICLE: President-elect Donald Trump pledged to purge bureaucrats who push the left-wing the diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) agenda and could otherwise obstruct his policy agenda. Now, following a landslide victory, he’s finally going to get his chance. The Biden administration launched its whole-of-government approach to DEI with a pair of executive orders that left no agency unmarred by the left-wing ideology, even capturing institutions essential to America’s defense, intelligence gathering, and foreign policy operations. Federal bureaucrats now expect Trump to sign an executive order shuttering DEI offices and operations throughout executive agencies. In total, agencies under the Biden administration are believed to have planned or taken an estimated 500 actions intended to embed and promote DEI. An ongoing series of Daily Wire investigations highlighted how the federal government has been captured by the DEI agenda, documenting some of the most extreme ways in which the ideology impacted the operations of the federal government. DEI officials in each agency enlisted federal employees across the government to form “affinity groups” and “employee resource groups, identity-based employee organizations that effectively serve as far-left activist nodes within America’s executive agencies. The affinity groups had support from the Office of Personnel Management, the federal government’s human resources department, which said that affinity groups “support agency efforts to strategically advance DEI.” The Trump administration could use these affinity groups to expedite its DEI purge, using membership lists to identify bureaucrats who use their post to advance woke ideology — and who could potentially seek to obstruct Trump’s agenda. Trump will have the authority to shut down DEI offices throughout the federal government, but formally ending the infrastructure used to push the ideology within the executive branch may not be sufficient on its own to purge the doctrine from the bureaucracy. Former Trump administration official Ben Carson told The Daily Wire that bureaucrats would often attempt to defy the president’s orders when they personally disagreed with them. “Their tendency would be to try to slow-walk things that they disagreed with,” Carson explained. The America First Policy Institute’s James Sherk, a former Trump administration official, outlined how bureaucrats worked to block the president’s agenda through a combination of underperformance, obfuscation, and “outright insubordination.” “Some career employees went beyond withholding information — they actively misrepresented the facts about what agencies could, or could not, do,” Sherk explained in a report for AFPI, adding that other bureaucrats “would flatly disregard political appointees’ directions and instead do what they thought best. Such insubordination and intransigence occurred commonly in some agencies and infrequently in others.” Former White House Director of Operations for Presidential Personnel James Bacon asserted that bureaucracy’s ability to sidestep the president undermines the will of the American people, who expect those who they elect to have the power to change and enact policy. “If the policies stay the same no matter who you elect, that’s when democracy is dead,” Bacon contends. “The founders chose Congress and the Supreme Court as the check on executive power, not the president’s staff.” Media outlets documented this same bureaucratic resistance in the early days of the Trump administration, with Bloomberg News writing that “officials have found it best to simply delay implementation of new initiatives in hopes they may be modified or canceled” in a piece titled “Washington Bureaucrats Are Quietly Working To Undermine Trump’s Agenda.” The Washington Post reported that Trump faced “resistance from within” as federal agents worked to halt the president’s policy agenda. “Less than two weeks into Trump’s administration, federal workers are in regular consultation with recently departed Obama-era political appointees about what they can do to push back against the new president’s initiatives,” the outlet reported. The reports from former Trump administration officials and members of the media alike indicate that scrapping DEI on paper may not truly mark the end of the ideology and its influence on the federal government. But the Trump administration is also expected to conduct a purge of bureaucrats who may otherwise attempt to obstruct the president’s policy agenda and work to maintain the influence of DEI and far-left ideology within the government. Trump has announced that he will reissue his “2020 executive order restoring the president’s authority to remove woke bureaucrats.” The order in question would reclassify tens of thousands of bureaucrats and make them fireable by the executive. These bureaucrats work under about 4,000 political appointees chosen by the president in conjunction with his Presidential Personnel Office. But, unlike these appointees, the bureaucrats maintain their employment across presidential administrations — even those they may be hostile towards. The executive order, which Trump signed but which could not be fully implemented before he left office, would remove civil service protections from those bureaucrats, who some say are excessively difficult to fire. It is only one of the ways that Trump could potentially ensure that the executive agencies comply with his policies, however. As president, Trump will also be able to work with Congress to rescind funding from agencies he deems bloated or insolent, offering him another lever to use against bureaucrats who he believes may undermine his agenda. The impending effort from the incoming Trump administration has reportedly already sent shockwaves throughout the administrative state. “I would say there is a general feeling of dread among everyone,” one bureaucrat said. “We are absolutely having conversations among ourselves about whether we can stomach a round two.”)

WBEZ
— Trump’s inroads in Chicago driven by staggering dropoff in votes for Democrats. Chicago posted its lowest voter turnout for a presidential election in nearly three decades as tens of thousands of Democrats stayed home. (COMMENT: What was the turnout in your precinct? There are 1,073 registered voters in my DuPage County Milton Township Precinct 59 in Wheaton. 890 (83%) voted. 373 voted for Trump and 477 voted for Harris. Between 661 and 425 voted for the other Republican candidates on the ballot. Republican candidates got more votes than the Democrat candidates did in all but 2 (president and one of the judicial races) of the 13 races. I hand-delivered a) a copy of the sample ballot and campaign literature to the 400 residences in my precinct that had at least one Republican or Independent registered voter and then b) a note from the Milton Township Republican Organization (MTRO) to the 24 residences that had at least one registered Republican voter who had not yet returned their mail-in ballot. What information would you like to get from your Republican Precinct Committeeman/Captain? I will be hand-delivering to the aforesaid 400 residences the aforesaid information plus information on the upcoming December 3 MTRO Caucus and the April 1 local election.)

— Trump is creating team of loyalists after conflicts with Cabinet members in 1st term (COMMENT: My critics/opponents have always said the following about me: “You can’t tell Diersen what to do,” that is, I am not a team player, that is, I am not loyal to them. My critics/opponents reject planks in the Republican Party platform, most commonly the personal responsibility, traditional marriage and family, right to life, immigration, illegal drugs, Second Amendment, and/or equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) planks. They destroy 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 coverup their wrongdoing, and/or who refuse to give them money. I should write about my critics/opponents. I would focus on those who continue to have lots of religious, government, political, and/or financial clout in Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois. I would focus on those who have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me lately.)

— My critics/opponents have always had lots of money. Their parents had lots of money; they bought them cars, paid for their college expenses, and got them jobs. Because of that, they have always been insulated from the negative impacts of the following: dependency on government and charity, LGBTQ, abortion, mass/illegal immigration, booze, gambling, pot, and other vices, diminishment of Second Amendment rights, and Affirmative Action and DEI, that is, race and gender based preference giving, patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, religious discrimination, and national origin discrimination. I should write a book about my critics/opponents. I would focus on those who have personally benefitted the most from Affirmative Action and DEI.

— Given that the federal government has always been run by Democrats who hate Republicans, one could ask why did I became a federal employee. I became a part-time postal employee when I was 18 years old in 1966 because I needed money to pay for my college expenses. I had taken and passed the postal employment examination because my high school friend had suggested that I join him in doing that. I became an IRS employee in 1971 because I needed a job. I had taken and passed the Federal Service Entrance Examination as a fallback if I could not get a good job in the automotive industry. I needed a job because I was helping support my mother and brother because my father had suddenly died. My Firestone Store boss had fired me because I had accepted a job offer from Oldsmobile. But Oldsmobile had withdrawn that offer saying that it had just agreed to stop hiring Whites to settle an EEOC complaint. I became a GAO employee in 1980 because of GAO’s mission and because of its claimed nonpartisanship. I had recently earned an MBA from Loyola and passed the CPA examination on my first attempt. Once you become a federal employee, it is almost impossible to get a good job in the private sector. Private sector employers look down on and have an extremely low opinion of government employees. – Dave Diersen

WASHINGTON TIMES
— Vance defends tattooed Hegseth
https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2024/nov/16/jd-vance-defends-tattooed-pete-hegseth/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: In response, Mr. Vance slammed the outlet for going after the Trump administration’s nominee. “They’re attacking Pete Hegseth for having a Christian motto tattooed on his arm,” he said on X. “This is disgusting anti-Christian bigotry from the AP, and the entire organization should be ashamed of itself.”)
— An official at FBI headquarters in Washington is warning that the bureau’s security clearance division is politicized and can’t be trusted to screen President-elect Donald Trump’s nominees for top administration jobs. (COMMENT: IRS has always been politicized. To get rid of me, the Democrats who ran IRS disallowed my travel vouchers in 1974 and disallowed my education deductions in 1978. They never promoted me beyond GS-12. GAO has always been politicized. To get rid of me, the Democrats who ran GAO forced me to take a $22,996/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980, they delayed my promotions and never promoted me beyond GS-13, they kept off audits of IRS except for 3 years, they always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes, and they forced me to retire when I was 49 in 1997. They would not have done that if I had been a Democrat.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Calling others names they do not deserve stems from insecurities, displaced aggression, or the need to dominate and/or control a partner/friend/coworker/etc. Those who do not have much ego strength build themselves up by tearing down innocent others. It’s a maladaptive pattern that could stem from learned behavior—that is, witnessing others do this in childhood. It may also arise from unresolved emotional issues.

— Parties Forego Primary Elections in McHenry Township in Favor of Caucuses (COMMENT: It would be great if township parties would issue press releases concerning this.)
https://www.mchenrycountyblog.com/2024/11/15/parties-forego-primary-elections-in-mchenry-township-in-favor-of-caucuses/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Thanks to a bill crafted in 1973 by State Senator Jack Schaffer and myself, township parties in larger townships have the option of selecting their candidates in a party caucus or a party primary. In Algonquin and Nunda Townships, the Republicans have opted for primary elections. In McHenry Township both parties have opted for caucuses to nominate their candidates.)
GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— My critics/opponent despise/hate Trump. They blame Trump for all their problems. From what I see, because Trump won, my critics/opponents are going to take more and bigger adverse actions against me. Since 2016, my critics/opponents have blamed Trump for the defeats that Republican candidates have suffered in Illinois and DuPage County and especially those candidates on the ballot in my precinct. They have painted me as being Trump’s de-facto campaign manager in Illinois, DuPage County, Milton Township, and Wheaton since 2015. In 2015, they gerrymandered my precinct. In 2021 they ended my role as the Republican fundraiser for Wheaton Independence Day parades and fireworks. This year, they removed me from the Illinois Republican Party State Convention Platform and Resolutions Committee. – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com
— What do you owe your successes in life to? According to my critics/opponents, I owe all my successes in life to my benefitting from discrimination against those who do not share my demographics. Those who do not share my demographics are minority, female, younger, LGBTQ, veteran, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or have ancestors who have not been in America for a long time. Those who do not share my demographics are liberal, moderate, Democrat, Libertarian, Green, or RINO. In my defense, neither of my parents attended college. My father was only the first of my ancestors to earn a high school diploma. My mother never attended high school. I had to work my way through college. I should write about my critics/opponents. I would focus on those whose parents had lots of money and who bought them cars, paid for their college expenses, and got them jobs. I would focus on those who have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me. – Dave Diersen

— If you were nominated for something, what would your critics/opponents use against you? Mine would stress their success in a) removing me from the Illinois Republican Party State Convention Platform and Resolutions Committee this year, b) ending my role as the Republican fundraiser for Wheaton Independence Day parades and fireworks in 2021, c) ending my bid to be selected to fill a Wheaton City Council West District vacancy in 2019, d) gerrymandering my precinct in 2015, e) ending my TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois chairmanship in 2012, f) ending my membership in the Wheaton Chamber of Commerce Government Affairs Committee in 2011, g) ending my service as the Milton Township Republican Organization (MTRO) webmaster in 2010 and 2004, h) ending my membership on the Illinois Center Right Coalition (ICRC) Steering Committee in 2007, i) almost getting ICRC to censure me for my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters in 2006, j) ending my bid to serve as MTRO Treasurer in 2004, k) ending my American Association of Political Consultants Midwest Chapter board membership in 2004, l) getting GAO to force me to retire in 1997, m) etc. I should write about my critics/opponents.

— Political parties exist to help elect candidates who can and will defend and advance their platform. The Republican Party platform is conservative. (SEE: https://gop.com/about-our-party/ ) The Republican Party platform promotes prosperity and safety. The Democrat Party platform promotes poverty and crime. Now that Trump has won, the top priority for Republican party leaders, elected officials, candidates, and precinct committeemen/captains in Illinois, in your county, in your township/ward, and in your municipality should be a) countering the tremendous hatred that hate-filled Trump-hating Trump-haters have promoted against Trump and b) promoting the Republican Party platform and that Trump can and will defend and advance that platform. Those who fail/refuse to do the aforesaid should immediately resign. As long as hatred against Trump is not countered, as long as the Republican Party is not promoted, Democrats and RINOs will continue to vote for Democrats. – Dave Diersen

The IRS manager who had promoted me in 1972 and 1973 picked me for a high-profile assignment in 1973 and promoted me in 1974 because of my performance on that assignment. His superiors were furious about that. They soon got rid of him. According to his superiors, he should have given the assignment to one of my coworkers who was Democrat, minority, female, younger, and/or veteran. Unlike my coworkers, I had been taking graduate business courses at Loyola since 1972.)

In today’s dollars, so far, that has been $1,770,180.

(FROM THE ARTICLE: The email, dated Jan. 14 and sent from a former Washington, D.C., Guard member, included an attachment showing a shirtless Hegseth with a tattoo on his bicep inscribed, “Deus Vult.” A quick google search told Gaither the Latin phrase means “God wills it,” which served as a battle cry for Christians during the Crusades and has become associated with white extremist groups, he told The Wall Street Journal. The pictures also showed that Hegseth has a large Jerusalem cross tattoo. Gaither said he was not concerned about the cross—it was the “Deus Vult” that worried him.)

Just 31% of high schoolers scored proficient in reading on the SAT in 2024. For black students, it was only 12%. And white student proficiency fell a whopping 9.5 percentage points from 2017, to just 42%. Math results for 2024 were even more abysmal, with high school SAT proficiencies hitting post-2017 lows across all major demographics. A mere 7% of black students and just 26% of all students statewide were proficient in math on the SAT.)

— Trump must take action against ‘untouchable’ bureaucrats (COMMENT: A big reason why I transferred from IRS to GAO when I was 31 in 1980 was that GAO claimed to be nonpartisan. I soon learned that claim was patently false. I soon learned that GAO’s Chicago office was run by liberal/nasty/vicious Democrats who hated Republicans and especially hated Republicans who shared my demographics: conservative, White, male, older, non-veteran, Protestant, German American, had ancestors who had been in America for a long time, non-poor, childless, former executive branch employee, former union member, etc. They did everything that they could to waste my career and to get rid of me, but I nevertheless survived for almost 18 years. I would not have survived for that long if I had not a) earned job-related master’s degrees in 1980 (accounting) and in 1997 (finance), b) earned job-related professional certifications in 1981 (internal auditing), 1990 (fraud examination), 1994 (government financial management), 1996 (financial services auditing), and 1997 (forensic accounting), and c) earned a job related professional license (CPA) in 1981.)
https://www.theblaze.com/columns/opinion/trump-must-take-action-against-untouchable-bureaucrats
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The president has the constitutional authority to fire anyone from the executive branch — including ‘independent’ agencies. An estimated 2.2 million civilian federal workers serve at the pleasure of the president, despite only 4,000 being designated as political appointees. Donald Trump’s first priority as he prepares to retake office must be to establish that he can fire any of them. Whether they hold political appointments, Senate-confirmed positions, or civil service roles, all federal employees are subject to the president’s authority to terminate their employment. This includes workers in any department or so-called “independent” agency. If a congressional statute conflicts with his authority to fire someone, that statute is unconstitutional and must yield to the president’s plenary firing authority. Ironically, Trump’s biggest failure in his first term was his reluctance to say his famous line, “You’re fired!” To succeed in a second term, he must remove anyone who does not share his campaign vision. His primary promises are to reduce inflation and eliminate the deep state. Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell is already challenging both promises, presenting Trump with an early test of his resolve.

— I never sought any internships because I had to work my way through college. I delivered mail for the Park Forest Post Office while I was a UIC student 1966-1968 and then a NIU student in 1969. One of my NIU roommates had wealthy parents who got him an internship at a big CPA firm. He got hired by that firm and soon became a partner. I should have majored in accounting. I did not take and pass the CPA examination until I was 29. I did not earn a master’s degree in accounting until I was 30. I did not take and pass the Certified Internal Auditor examination and become a licensed CPA until I was 32. By then, because of my bad demographics, I was viewed as being much too old to have a successful career in accounting.

— FRONT PAGE TOP OF FOLD: Candidates line up for Naperville, Wheaton school board elections
https://www.dailyherald.com/20241113/news/candidates-line-up-for-naperville-wheaton-school-board-elections/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: District 200 Six people — including three incumbents — already have declared their candidacies for four board seats up for election next year. Board President Rob Hanlon as well as sitting board members Angela Blatner and John Rutledge are running again. The other candidates are Katy Ebbesen, Brooke Gennaro and Amy Erkenswick. Last year, Erkenswick ran in a high-profile race with a slate of school board challengers who argued parents ought to have a greater say over their children’s education, who raised objections to graphic content in school libraries and who had green campaign signs. Erkenswick finished just 33 votes shy of winning a seat on the board. Rutledge, a former Wheaton city councilman, bested one of the slate members to secure a 2-year board position. Hanlon was first elected to the board in 2017. “Since the referendum passed, I want to see that work through,” said Hanlon, referring to voters’ approval of a plan to issue $151.5 million in bonds for significant upgrades to Edison, Franklin and Monroe middle schools. Noting the number of candidates, Hanlon said he expects “it’ll be a healthy debate.” “I think when you have more candidates involved, who are focused on kids, you have a better election, and the community benefits and the students benefit,” Hanlon said.)

— What do you hope that Trump will focus on? I hope that he will focus on promoting personal responsibility, traditional marriage and family, right to life, enforcement of immigration laws, discouragement of pot, defending Second Amendment rights, and equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving). I hope that he focuses on discouraging the promotion of dependency on government and charity, LGBTQ, abortion, mass/illegal immigration, booze, gambling, pot, and other vices, diminishment of Second Amendment rights, and Affirmative Action and DEI, that is, race and gender based preference giving, patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, religious discrimination, and national origin discrimination. – Dave Diersen

— Senate confirms April Perry, former assistant U.S. attorney in Chicago, to be a federal district judge
https://www.chicagotribune.com/2024/11/12/april-perry-illinois-judge/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: In April, Biden nominated Perry to be a federal district judge after Sen. Richard Durbin had recommended her for the judgeship. Perry’s nomination to be a judge — a position that carries a life tenure — came in a roundabout way. She was nominated last year to be the first female U.S. attorney for the Northern District of Illinois. Her nomination stalled in the U.S. Senate — despite being voted out of committee — after Sen. J.D. Vance, R-Ohio, who now is the vice president-elect, objected to her nomination. He also said he held up all other nominations in the federal Department of Justice because of federal indictments of former President Donald Trump. Vance later added that he also was opposed to Perry’s nomination to be U.S. attorney because of her role in the Jussie Smollett case, where the “Empire” actor falsely claimed he was the victim of a hate crime. Vance accused Perry of rubber stamping unethical decisions made by the office of Perry’s then-boss, Cook County State’s Attorney Kim Foxx. . .Tuesday’s 51-44 vote was largely — though not entirely — along party lines. Republican Sens. Susan Collins and Lisa Murkowski both supported Perry’s nomination. Three Republican senators, including Vance, missed the vote.)

They wasted what I had learned a) working for IRS for almost 9 years, the last 5 1/2 years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 Levels, currently $97,079-$110,020/year, b) earning master’s degrees in business, accounting and finance, c) earning professional certifications in accounting, internal auditing, fraud examination, government financial management, financial services auditing, and forensic accounting, and c) earning a CPA license.

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Trump wrote in a post that the Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE, will “become, potentially, ‘The Manhattan Project’ of our time.” He also said the group would, “pave the way” for his next administration to “dismantle Government Bureaucracy, slash excess regulations, cut wasteful expenditures, and restructure Federal Agencies.”)

CHICAGO MAROON
— How Do Democratic and Republican Students Feel About Election Results?
https://chicagomaroon.com/44616/news/how-do-democratic-and-republican-students-feel-about-election-results/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Second-year Akshay Kirthi, a self-identified Republican, expressed a sense of validation from the results of the presidential election, which he believes demonstrated that the Democratic Party is out of touch with the American majority. He believes the strength of Trump’s results reflected the domestic and economic priorities of the American people. “[Democrats] have denigrated the American people for their choice in this election. They called the majority of this country sexist, bigoted, homophobic, deplorable, ignorant, and worse,” Kirthi said. Similarly, fourth-year Hank Hyatt, who is a part of the leadership of College Republicans, felt the election results matched his prediction. “I definitely did believe Trump was going to win,” Hyatt said. “Personally, I’m very excited for the future.” Both Chaudhry and Kirthi commented on the nationwide change in voting this election cycle. “In comparison to 2020, I think it shows there has been a large Republican shift,” Chaudhry said. Kirthi saw this trend in a more optimistic light. “Fundamentally, the American people want change. They want a vision to grow the economy, close the border, end the wars around the world, and control the federal bureaucracy,” Kirthi said. While much of the focus of this election season has been on the presidential race, both sides identified positive results in the smaller, more localized races, such as state Senate elections. For Chaudhry, Democratic Senate victories in Michigan (Elissa Slotkin) and Wisconsin (Tammy Baldwin) have helped her remain hopeful. “Sometimes, zooming in, it’s validating to know that there are smaller areas of hope and impactful elections that happened this season,” Chaudhry said. Kirthi believes that with a Republican-controlled House, Senate, and presidency, there are more opportunities for Trump to follow through with his policies. Although the House majority has not been set yet, many project that Republicans will hold on to their majority. “Trump will be able to take his agenda far further in 2024 because he knows who the bad actors are [in Washington], understands more clearly what his agenda has to be, and knows the personnel and the transition team [he needs] to help him achieve this goal,” Kirthi said. “Trump clearly will be able to implement a much more defined America First agenda. The next presidential cycle provides a fresh opportunity for both sides to either realign or reaffirm their party’s goals and promises. Chaudhry highlighted the necessity for the Democratic Party to look internally and identify the priorities of young and working-class voters. “Aligning the Democratic Party with working-class people in America is really important,” Chaudhry said. “Democrats need to refocus on issues like the economy and immigration that are very winnable. ”Kirthi, too, sees this as a learning opportunity for the Democrats. “Look into the mirror and acknowledge why the American people didn’t buy into their vision this time,” Kirthi said. “The American people have given the Republican Party a mandate of trust to fully implement their vision, but this trust is contingent on good governance and delivering on promises.”)

The aforesaid brings forth poverty and crime. 477 in my DuPage County Milton Township Precinct 59 in Wheaton voted for Democrat Harris and between 430 and 349 voted for the other Democrats on the ballot.

https://www.bizpacreview.com/2024/11/07/trumps-election-is-a-referendum-on-dei-1501077/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: America has flourished because we are a meritocracy. The Biden/Harris administration has endorsed the replacement of meritocracy with the phony banner of diversity. Meritocracy and diversity are opposites. Instead of promoting people based on competence, advocates of diversity want promotions to be based on race and gender. With the ascendancy of identity politics, said Scott Greer in No Campus for White Men, “skin color trumps merit—as long as that skin isn’t white.” “The rejection of objective standards of accomplishment is nihilistic,” said Heather Mac Donald in When Race Trumps Merit. “The diversity movement deems color-blind measures of competence to be unjust instruments of racial exclusion.” The entire basis of American exceptionalism—competence—is being outlawed. Evidence of the trend is everywhere. The majority of top-25 medical schools are supporting equity and critical race theory. “Medical schools are discarding traditional standards of merit in order to alter the demographic characteristics of their profession,” says Heather Mac Donald. The physician performing your brain surgery could be the product of affirmative action. Going in for surgery would become an act of suicide, as surgeons are no longer held to standards of excellence. United Airlines has thrown merit to the winds by announcing that 50 percent of all new pilots will be chosen from among minorities and women. Eligibility for an Academy Award will no longer be based on merit. Nominees must adhere to a quota of minorities and women in both cast and crew. Thanks to the Democrats, diversity has been applied to candidates for high office. Enter Kamala Harris—a vicious, conniving, immoral, unpopular, third-rate politician with extreme radical views—who on Tuesday came within a hair’s breadth of the presidency. How could we allow that to happen? . . The day we repudiate merit is the day America crumbles. Happily, that day has not arrived and Harris is not the president-elect. Never forget how close we came.)

— Illinois Democrats ever-increasingly discourage use of E-Verify, that is, Illinois Democrats ever-increasingly promote more illegal immigration. If there had been as many illegals when I was young as there are now, they would have gotten the jobs that I got. My critics/opponents cannot say that because their parents were wealthy, they bought them cars, they paid for their college expenses, and they got them jobs. I should write about my critics/opponents.
https://www.jdsupra.com/legalnews/what-illinois-employers-using-e-verify-1352993/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: An amendment to the Illinois Right to Privacy in the Workplace Act going into effect on Jan. 1, 2025, imposes many new obligations on employers regarding the use of E-Verify – some that go beyond federal E-Verify requirements. The Illinois Department of Labor (IDOL) has published guidance on the law that also clarifies that the law does not ban the use of E-Verify in Illinois. The new law includes strict deadlines for employer notifications and attestations, among other requirements. In addition to clarifying that E-Verify can be used in Illinois, the new guidance: Urges employers using E-Verify to familiarize themselves with information on the IDOL website about the accuracy of E-Verify; Prohibits misuse of E-Verify, including for pre-screening; Encourages employers to review and understand their legal responsibilities regarding posting and notice requirements; Reminds employers that employees may file complaints for alleged violations with IDOL; and Explains that any adverse action against an employee or applicant who files a complaint under the Right to Privacy Act is prohibited. Illinois employers will violate state law by: Failing to display E-Verify notices supplied by the federal and Illinois state governments; Failing to have all employees who use the system participate in the required computer-based training; Failing to prevent employees from circumventing the training requirement; Misusing E-Verify in any way including using the system for pre-screening or screening current employees; Failing to safeguard the information in the system and preventing unauthorized access; and Failing to follow the notification and attestation requirements in the law. The law imposes on employers notification and attestation requirements that are particularly detailed. Here are just some examples: Upon initial enrollment in E-Verify or within 30 days of the effective date of the amendment (Jan. 1, 2025), the employer must file an attestation that they have received all the training materials and that they will do the training, post the required notices, and retain all certifications of completion of training for possible inspection. If the employer contends there is a discrepancy in the employment verification documents provided by an employee, the employer must explain the specific deficiency to the employee, provide the employee with instructions as to how to correct the deficiency, explain that the employee has a right to representation, and, upon request, provide the original document that provides the basis for the deficiency within 7 business days. When an employer receives a notification of a discrepancy from a state or federal agency: Employer cannot take any adverse action including re-verification based on the notification. Employer must provide notification to the employee not more than 5 business days after receipt of notification. Employer must provide an explanation of discrepancy, time period to contest, and provide the original notice within 7 business days. Employer must provide notification to employee’s representative within same time frame. Notification should be by hand if possible, but if not possible, notification must be by mail and email. When an employer receives notice of an upcoming inspection by an agency of I-9 forms or other related documents: Employer must provide notice to all employees in all relevant languages within 72 hours of receipt of the notice. Employer must also provide written notice to employees’ representatives, when applicable. Notice should include details regarding the conducting agency, the date the notice was received, the nature of the inspection and a copy of the notice. (IDOL is expected to prepare a template for this notification.) If during an inspection, a problem is uncovered about a specific employee: Employer must provide written notice to the employee and employee’s representative within 5 business days. Notice should be provided in person if possible or by mail and email. Notice should include a full explanation of what was found, the time period for the employee to notify the employer if they plan to contest the finding, the time and date of any upcoming meetings on the topic, and the employee’s right to representation. If the employee contests the determination, the employer must notify the employee within 72 hours after receipt of a final determination and provide the original notice within 7 business days.)

CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— Durbin says Democrats’ minority status a consideration as he mulls 2026 reelection bid (COMMENT: Who do you want to run for U.S. Senate in 2026? In 2003, all five of the announced Republican U.S. Senate candidates (John Cox, Chirinjeev Kathuria, Andrew McKenna, Jim Oberweis, and Jack Ryan) attended a picnic that I organized in the Prairie Path Park in my precinct. More than 200 attended. Back then, I was the GOPUSA Illinois Editor, the Milton Township Republican Organization (MTRO) webmaster, and an officer of TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois, Illinois Center Right Coalition, and American Association of Political Consultants Midwest Chapter. I organized a major MTRO straw poll later in 2003 that Ryan won. The Illinois GOP Establishment wanted McKenna to win the primary and blamed me for Ryan winning it instead. Previously, the Illinois GOP Establishment blamed me for Jim Ryan’s loss to Blagojevich. Also, later in 2003, and in 2004, I organized Wheaton’s 9/11 ceremonies. I should write about the Illinois GOP Establishment. )

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Americans demanded change last week. Whether they were voting for Trump or against Harris, their rationale didn’t matter. Less government interference won. So did free speech, border control, law and order, and anti-DEI policies. The change that shook the nation was visible even in Illinois, perhaps one of the country’s most hostile media and political environments for Trump. Not only did Trump shrink the Dem margin of victory this year to nine percentage points – from 17 points in 2020 and 25 points in 2008 – he also performed better in both Chicago and the suburbs. Illinoisans’ support for Trump grew even as the media and political attacks on him, led notably by Gov. J.B. Pritzker, increased in intensity. So with 45% of Illinois going for Trump – and Latinos and blacks and virtually every demographic breaking towards him – you would have thought Gov. Pritzker would be chastened, or at least sufficiently introspective enough to temper his comments until the dust settles.)

ELMHURST PATCH
— Marti Deuter, who is running for the Elmhurst-based state House seat, collected another $671,000 in the last week and a half, according to state records. That’s in addition to the $1.1 million she has already raised, for a total of nearly $1.8 million. That is more than four times as much as her rival. Republican Dennis Reboletti pulled in another $79,000 in the last week and a half, according to the state Board of Elections database. That brings his fundraising total to about $400,000.

— America does not need illegal immigrant labor (COMMENT: RINOs want cheap labor. RINOs have always viciously demonized, denigrated, and condemned me as being grossly overpaid. In my defense, to qualify myself for better paying jobs, I a) earned a job-related bachelor’s degree in management when I was 21 in 1970, b) earned job-related master’s degrees in 1976 (business), 1980 (accounting), and 1997 (finance), c) earned job-related professional certifications in 1979 (accounting), 1981 (internal auditing), 1990 (fraud examination), 1994 (government financial management), 1996 (financial services auditing), and 1997 (forensic accounting), and d) earned a job-related professional license in 1981 (CPA). I should write about my critics/opponents and what they did and did not do to qualify themselves for better paying jobs.)

— Political parties exist to help elect candidates who can and will defend and advance their platform. The Republican Party platform in conservative. RINOs are anti-conservative if not conservative-haters. Republican candidates are going to lose on November 5, 2024. On who/what will RINO leaders of the Illinois Republican Party and your county and township/ward party organizations blame those losses? They will blame Trump. They will blame the personal responsibility, traditional marriage and family, right to life, immigration, illegal drugs, Second Amendment, and equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) planks in the Republican Party platform. They will call for the Republican Party to officially dump the aforesaid planks and to officially dump those who support those planks. Constructively, they will call for the dissolution of the Republican Party. – Dave Diersen

https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/in_focus/3177509/what-maga-gop-will-look-like-post-donald-trump/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: “There will be a sort of concerted push from GOP elites to try to reestablish a Republican establishment that’s conducive to their interests,” . . . “If social conservatism dies, the Republican Party will die and it won’t stand for anything meaningful,” Terry Schilling, president of the American Principles Project, told the Washington Examiner. Schilling said Trump’s ascendance coincided with a shift in the types of social issues Republicans have viewed as most important. “I think the culture war is changing. I think the ’90s culture war, up until the 2010s, was abortion and gay marriage, and now it’s just going to look a little bit different,” Schilling said. “I think the culture war is going to be much more about protecting children because that’s where the Democrats have gone.” . . . The conservative movement in Washington, D.C., has decided to reject conservatism and embrace being the Democrat lite party, and that has always been a losing solution because you cannot beat the real thing.”)

— The last time that Illinois voted red in a presidential election was 1988. Politics and government are nasty and vicious. What were you doing in 1988? I was one of an extremely few Republicans working for the Democrats who ran GAO’s Chicago office. My Democrat GAO superiors were furious that George HW Bush won. They took their anger out on me. They threw me off audits of IRS, they gave me an extremely bad job assignment, they turned my subordinates against me, they gave me unfair performance expectations and an extremely unfair performance appraisal, they ranked me at the bottom of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes, they made it clear that they never assign me to audits of IRS again. Yes, there were other factors at play. I had just become an active member in a class action lawsuit that charged my Democrat GAO superiors with reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation. I should write a book about the aforesaid and its aftermath.
