— Democrats sharpen criticism of Vance as they look past Trump to the 2028 presidential campaign. DD: What have your critics/opponents criticized you the most for? My critics/opponents have criticized me the most for my being conservative, for my promoting conservative principles, for my promoting the Republican Party platform, and for my promoting conservative candidates. My critics/opponents blame me and blame my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters for all the losses that Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct have suffered since 2000. According to my critics/opponents, to win, Republican candidates should officially dump the personal responsibility, traditional marriage and family, right to life, immigration, anti-vice, Second Amendment, and equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) planks in the Republican Party platform and officially proclaim that they are Democrat Lite.

— New IRS Migration Numbers: Illinois Taxpayers Continue to Flee With Their Income. DD: Illinois Democrat and RINO leaders ever-increasingly do everything that they can to drive conservatives out of Illinois. If you are conservative, what keeps you in Illinois? For me, it includes a) my ancestors having lived in northeast Illinois since 1844, b) my having lived in Wheaton since 1978, c) my wife and I living in our home since 1984, d) my parents, my brother, and virtually all of my relatives having died, e) my having earned my bachelor’s degree, three master’s degrees, six professional certifications, and a professional license in northeast Illinois, and f) the conservative-created prosperity and safety that remains in DuPage County, Milton Township, and Wheaton. I have seen from what has happened in DuPage County, in Milton Township, and in Wheaton that sooner or later, where conservatives create prosperity and safety, Democrats and RINOs move in and destroy it. The Democrat Party platform creates poverty and crime.

WASHINGTON TIMES
— White supremacy, the latest race hustle. It has all the elements of classic Marxism. DD: To get more votes from non-Whites, Democrat candidates, elected officials, and party leaders ever-increasingly promote more hatred against Whites, and especially against Whites who are conservative, male, older, married, non-poor, Protestant, German American, and/or have ancestors who have been in America for a long time.
https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2026/mar/22/white-supremacy-latest-race-hustle/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The war on White supremacy is recycled Marxism. Because many who denounce it the most bitterly are themselves White, it’s also self-hatred. Whether they are politicians, bureaucrats, academics or authors, leftists can hardly open their mouths these days without blaming White supremacy for something. Earlier this month, when terrorists threw explosive devices at protesters outside Gracie Mansion, New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s initial response was to condemn not the terrorists, who by their own admission wanted to create another Boston Marathon bombing, but rather those protesting the growing influence of Islam on the city. (Mr. Mamdani called the demonstration “a vile protest rooted in White supremacy.”) Wait, I thought Islam was a religion, not a race. Even the city’s Marxist mayor is a moderate compared with Cea Weaver, head of the Mayor’s Office to Protect Tenants, which sounds like a cross between an AWFUL (Affluent White Female Urban Liberal) and Josef Stalin. Ms. Weaver charges that “private property is a weapon of White supremacy” and the United States “built wealth for White people through genocide, slavery, stolen land and labor.” I wonder whom her mother exploited to get her $1.6 million home in Nashville, Tennessee.)

— Why today’s immigrants to America are so hostile to their new country. DD: Far too many come to America a) to take advantage of the tremendous benefits and preferences that Democrats and RINOs give immigrants, b) to turn America into their motherland, and/or c) to convert everyone to their religion. My ancestors did nothing to turn America into Germany or to make everyone Missouri Synod Lutherans. They did homestead a 240-arce farm in southeast Crete in 1854, but that was not until after they had worked in brick factory in Chicago for 10 years.
https://nypost.com/2026/03/22/opinion/why-todays-immigrants-to-america-are-so-hostile-to-their-new-country/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: While America is at war with Iran, crowds of immigrants, visitors and foreign students scream anti-American slogans as they cheer our enemies. On campuses, thousands of Middle Eastern international students have staged often violent demonstrations. They’re not shy about cheering on the Hamas slaughter of Israeli civilians. They haven’t just damned Israel but also often harassed Jewish Americans. . .In the mid-1960s, new laws junked the prior merit-based system and instead admitted immigrants chiefly on the basis of family ties and the purported need of the host country for inexpensive labor. In the 60 years since, Democrats began welcoming in anyone, legal or not, who simply crashed the border or claimed they wanted to study in the US. The old melting pot was banished, replaced by the “salad bowl.” Immigration was seen by the Left as the answer to why they’d never been able to complete their socialist agendas. The new “diversity” ideology peaked under Barack Obama and Joe Biden. It dictated that traditional America was still too white, too traditionalist, too Christian, too unfairly successful — and too hostile to the Democratic-socialist agenda.)

DD: Hope Lutheran Church and Grade School in Park Forest where I graduated from and I was confirmed at as a Missouri Synod Lutheran in 1962 is long gone. But Trinity Lutheran Church and Grade School in Crete where I was baptized at as a Missouri Synod Lutheran at in 1948 and I attended grade school at 1953-1961 continues on. My father (John R.), my grandfather (John A.), and my great grandfather (John C.) graduated from Trinity Lutheran Grade School in Crete. Trinity Lutheran Church and Grade School in Crete left the Missouri Synod and joined the Wisconsin Synod in 1961.

— Pritzker pushes prosecutions of Trump officials as part of Dem ‘Project 2029’ agenda. Pritzker’s calls to criminally prosecute law enforcement agents and Trump officials comes amid a months-long standoff with Trump over immigration enforcement policies. DD: To get rid of me, my Democrat superiors in the federal government never prosecuted me. But they took many big adverse actions against me. My Democrat GAO superiors forced me to retire when I was 49 in 1997, they always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance, they delayed my promotions and never promoted me beyond GS13, and they forced me to take a $23,699/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS when I was 31. My Democrat IRS superiors never promoted me beyond GS-12, they disallowed my education deductions when I was 29, and they disallowed my travel vouchers when I was 25. My Democrat Post Office superiors forced me to resign when I was 20 and they disallowed my sick leave requests when I was 19 and 20.

— Legacy Press Desperately Tries to Lose Another War for America. DD: Many, most, and at times, virtually all of my Post Office, IRS, and GAO superiors and supervisors were Democrat veterans who blamed Republicans for America losing the Vietnam War. They especially blamed Republicans like me who were 1-A for the Vietnam War draft but avoided it with deferments. Further, they hinted/implied/argued/shouted that I was an unmitigated disgusting hypocritical coward because I probably would not have been sent into combat because I could not run because I had a bone disease, because my eyesight could not be corrected to 20/20, and because I had partial red/green color blindness. My many Democrat Post Office, IRS, and GAO superiors and supervisors who were veterans took many big adverse actions against me. I should write about that.

CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— DD: ACCORDING TO BREITBART: Cesar Chavez opposed illegal immigration every bit as much as Donald J. Trump. Chávez understood that illegal aliens undermined the wages of legal migrant workers and their union bargaining power. Cesar Chavez was so opposed to illegal immigration that, just like Minuteman Project of 2004, which was widely smeared in the legacy media as racist, Chavez put together his own militia to stop illegals from crossing the border. There are credible reports that violence was used as an example to others. To form his United Farmworkers Union (UFW), it was Chavez versus the growers, and for obvious reasons, the growers loved the open border. For just as obvious reasons, Chavez did not. And there you have it.

GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— There are far too many wrong reasons to vote for candidates. Far too many vote for Democrat and RINO candidates a) because they want to punish Trump, b) because the candidate hints/implies/argues/shouts that if elected, they will use government to give more preference to those who share the voter’s demographics and/or b) because the candidate and/or their spouse share the voter’s demographics. To get elected, ever-increasingly, Democrat and RINO candidates promise to use government to give more preference to voters who are Trump-haters, liberal/moderate, minority, female, younger, non-rich, unmarried, LGBTQ, non-Protestant, non-German American, have ancestors who have not been in America for a long time, and/or are in America illegally. To get elected, ever-increasingly, Democrat and RINO candidates promise to use government to promote more hatred against Trump, dependency on government and charity, LGBTQ, abortion, mass/illegal immigration, vices, gun control, and Affirmative Acton and DEI, that is, race and gender based preference giving, patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, religious discrimination, and national origin discrimination. According to Google AI: Political analysts and ethicists point to several “wrong” or irrational reasons for casting a vote, generally defined as those that do not involve a critical assessment of a candidate’s qualifications, policies, or potential to contribute to the common good. Common examples of potentially poor reasons to vote for a candidate include: Party Loyalty Over Substance: Voting purely along party lines without examining the specific candidate’s platform or character, driven by a belief that it is wrong to abandon one’s party. Single-Issue Voting: Supporting or opposing a candidate based solely on their position on one specific issue, without weighing the candidate’s stance on a range of other important matters. Candidate’s Appearance or Charisma: Focusing on superficial traits like a candidate’s looks, how they speak, or their “celebrity” status, rather than their policy proposals or governing ability. One historical example cited is an elector in 1852 who objected to a candidate purely because “he wears mustachios”. Unrealistic or Impossible Promises: Being swayed by grand but unfeasible promises, such as instantly lowering grocery prices or ending a war overnight, without scrutinizing the practical means of achieving them. Fear and Prejudice: Allowing fear of an opposing group (e.g., immigrants, different religious groups, other political parties) to dictate a vote, rather than a thoughtful consideration of the candidates’ merits. Voting for “Free Things”: Supporting a candidate purely because they promise government benefits or “free” programs, without considering the economic feasibility or overall impact on society. Ballot Position: Choosing a candidate simply because they are listed higher on the ballot, which studies have shown can influence voters who have not researched the candidates. “Feel-Good” Citizenship: Voting based on prejudices or delusions, which may provide psychological pleasure to the voter but result in supporting policies contrary to their own or the public’s best interests. – Dave Diersen

Democrat leaders know that because unmarried people are far less likely to succeed than married people, unmarried people are far more likely to want/need/demand government assistance, that is, they are far more likely to vote for Democrats.

Nevertheless, I a) took college preparatory courses, b) got an ACT score of 24, c) graduated in the upper 20% of my class, d) got accepted by UIC, e) worked my way through college, and f) graduated debt-free from NIU with a bachelor’s degree in business in 1970 owning a 1969 Dodge Charger SE.

— DD: Are you in a traditional marriage? In traditional marriages, men are responsible for earning enough money to pay the bills. But with Affirmative Action and DEI, employers have ever-increasingly hired, retained, and promoted women over men. Most if not virtually all of my coworkers who my Democrat superiors in the federal government promoted over me were women. All of them had less work experience than I had, had less education than I had, had fewer professional certifications than I had, and/or had no professional license like the one I had. During the last 8 years that I worked for the Democrats who ran GAO, all my Chicago office superiors and supervisors were women who were younger than me and did not share my conservativism, my Republicanism, my religion (Protestant), or my national origin (German). All of their parents were immigrants while my ancestors have been in America since 1844. When I was 49 in 1997, they took the lead in forcing me to retire. I should write about that.

According Democrats and according to RINOs, those who are the aforesaid have benefited the most from slavery. In my defense, while all my ancestors immigrated during the 1840s and 1850s, they always lived in northeast Illinois. Since the 1960s, those above me have made me pay the price of AA and DEI big time. What are your demographics?

The most important tests that I passed were the CPA examination when I was 30 in 1979 and Certified Internal Auditor examination when I was 32, both of which I passed on my first attempt, something that only about 20% do. My Democrat IRS and GAO superiors were furious that I passed those tests because my Democrat coworkers who they wanted to promote over me and who were minority, female, younger than me, and/or veteran had not taken either of the tests, had failed them, or had not passed them on their first attempt. My Democrat IRS and GAO superiors hinted/implied/argued/shouted that I passed the tests because I benefitted greatly from Republican discrimination against Democrats, and especially Republican discrimination against Democrats who were minority, female, younger than me, and/or veteran.

None of my IRS and GAO superiors encouraged me to do the aforesaid.

— Wrong reasons to vote for a candidate. DD: Far too many vote for Democrat and RINO candidates a) because they want to punish Trump, b) because the candidate hints/implies/argues/shouts that if elected, they will use government to give more preference to those who share the voter’s demographics and/or b) because the candidate and/or their spouse share the voter’s demographics. To get elected, ever-increasingly, Democrat and RINO candidates promise to use government to give more preference to voters who are Trump-haters, liberal/moderate, minority, female, younger, non-rich, unmarried, LGBTQ, non-Protestant, non-German American, have ancestors who have not been in America for a long time, and/or are in America illegally. To get elected, ever-increasingly, Democrat and RINO candidates promise to use government to promote more hatred against Trump, dependency on government and charity, LGBTQ, abortion, mass/illegal immigration, vices, gun control, and Affirmative Acton and DEI, that is, race and gender based preference giving, patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, religious discrimination, and national origin discrimination.
https://www.google.com/search?q=%22wrong+reasons+to+vote+for+a+candidate
(FROM GOOGLE AI: Political analysts and ethicists point to several “wrong” or irrational reasons for casting a vote, generally defined as those that do not involve a critical assessment of a candidate’s qualifications, policies, or potential to contribute to the common good. Common examples of potentially poor reasons to vote for a candidate include: Party Loyalty Over Substance: Voting purely along party lines without examining the specific candidate’s platform or character, driven by a belief that it is wrong to abandon one’s party. Single-Issue Voting: Supporting or opposing a candidate based solely on their position on one specific issue, without weighing the candidate’s stance on a range of other important matters. Candidate’s Appearance or Charisma: Focusing on superficial traits like a candidate’s looks, how they speak, or their “celebrity” status, rather than their policy proposals or governing ability. One historical example cited is an elector in 1852 who objected to a candidate purely because “he wears mustachios”. Unrealistic or Impossible Promises: Being swayed by grand but unfeasible promises, such as instantly lowering grocery prices or ending a war overnight, without scrutinizing the practical means of achieving them. Fear and Prejudice: Allowing fear of an opposing group (e.g., immigrants, different religious groups, other political parties) to dictate a vote, rather than a thoughtful consideration of the candidates’ merits. Voting for “Free Things”: Supporting a candidate purely because they promise government benefits or “free” programs, without considering the economic feasibility or overall impact on society. Ballot Position: Choosing a candidate simply because they are listed higher on the ballot, which studies have shown can influence voters who have not researched the candidates. “Feel-Good” Citizenship: Voting based on prejudices or delusions, which may provide psychological pleasure to the voter but result in supporting policies contrary to their own or the public’s best interests.)

I would focus on my Democrat IRS superiors who a) never promoted me beyond GS-12, b) disallowed my education deductions in 1978, and c) disallowed my travel vouchers in 1974. I would focus on my Democrat Post Office superiors who a) forced me to resign in 1969 and b) disallowed my sick leave requests in 1969 and 1968.

— How interested in the March 17 primary are the voters in your county, township, municipality, school district, and precinct? Do they know which offices are on the ballots in their precinct and who the candidates are? Which contested races are they most interested in and why? What do they know about the candidates in the contested races? What criteria do they use to pick candidates? How much weight do they give to endorsements and fundraising success? Have they voted already? Will they vote? Have they/will they cast a Republican or Democrat ballot and why? Do they know that casting a partisan ballot affiliates them with that party for 2 years? How successful have Democrat leaders been shouting that if you do not like what Trump has said or done, you should cast a Democrat ballot, and if not that, you should do not vote at all? I am very interested in the election results in my precinct. I spent many hours a) putting 800 mailing labels for the Republican and NA voters in my precinct and 400 return address labels on 400 DuPage County GOP envelopes, b) putting them into walk order, c) stuffing them with an unmarked sample ballot, a Milton Township Republican Organization (MTRO) Voter Guide, and campaign literature the five Republican candidates who provided MTRO with their literature, d) dividing them into 5 batches, and e) hand-delivering them. I used my photocopier, paper, and ink to copy the unmarked sample ballot 400 times 2-sided back-to-back. If I spent 6 minutes getting each envelope ready, that would be 40 hours. I spent about 15 hours hand-delivering the envelopes, or about 3 hours per batch. Only one registered hard-D voter in my precinct threatened me for what I did. – Dave Diersen

— When, from where, and why did your ancestors immigrate? I will never forget the diversity event that my Democrat GAO Chicago office superiors held at which we were all forced to publicly disclose when, from where, and why your ancestors immigrated. Of course, I disclosed that all my ancestors immigrated during the 1840s and 1850s from what is now Germany and that they immigrated to escape problems where they lived. Virtually all of my Democrat GAO Chicago office superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates were Democrats. Virtually none in the office was conservative and Republican like me. Virtually all of them had parents, grandparents, etc. who had been killed by the Germans in WWI and/or WWII. I stressed that my grandfather on my father’s side fought the Germans in WWI and that my uncles on my mother’s side fought the Germans in WWII. From what I see, more and more and more of those who come to America do so a) because they want to take advantage of the tremendous benefits that Democrat and RINO leaders give them, b) because they want to turn America into their motherland, and/or c) because they want to convert everyone in America to their religion. – Dave Diersen

That enabled me to buy a new townhome in University Park ( https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/774-Sunset-Ct-5-University-Park-IL-60484/5451474_zpid/ ). My critics/opponents were furious about that. They were even more furious than when I bought a new 1972 Corvette in 1971. In my defense, the down payment for the townhome came from what I had earned working for IRS for 15 months and for a Firestone Store part-time for 18 months and full-time for 7 months before that and half of the money for the Corvette came from an insurance settlement, the rest was a loan. According to my critics/opponents, I would not have been able to buy that Corvette or that townhome a) if I had not avoided the Vietnam War draft and b) if I had not been grossly overpaid by IRS. In my defense, I had earned a bachelor’s degree in management from NIU in 1970 and I completed a graduate evening business course at UIC in 1971 and four graduate evening business courses at Loyola in 1972.

From what I see, more and more and more of those who come to America do so a) because they want to take advantage of the tremendous benefits that Democrat and RINO leaders give them, b) because they want to turn America into their motherland, and/or c) because they want to convert everyone in America to their religion.

DD: If I had ran for a government office, my critics/opponents would attributed everything that I have to my benefitting from my ancestors on my father’s side homesteading a 240-acres in southeast Crete Township in 1854. They sold that land and bought 10-acres just north of downtown Crete in 1864. My grandfather had 1286 Wood Street built on that land in 1926. I lived in that home 1954-1972.

— ICE slashed its training hours for recruits during hiring blitz to fulfill Trump’s deportation demands.

While I worked for IRS 1971-1980 and for GAO 1980-1997, the agencies provided me with lots of classroom training. But the Democrats who ran IRS and GAO wasted what I learned form that training as well as what I learned a) earning a bachelor’s degree in management from NIU in 1970, b) earning an MBA from Loyola in 1976, c) passing the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, d) earning a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980, e) passing the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981, and f) earning a master’s degree in finance from IIT in 1997.

— Early voting, vote-by-mail numbers trend higher as Illinois primary approaches. DD: How many have voted so far in your county, in your township, in your municipality, and in your precinct?

https://www.cities929.com/2026/03/13/early-voting-vote-by-mail-numbers-trend-higher-as-illinois-primary-approaches/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Early voting numbers are trending up in Illinois before the state’s primary elections Tuesday. Illinois State Board of Elections Public Information Officer Matt Dietrich told The Center Square on Friday that about 250,000 early votes had been cast, slightly higher than the state reported before the 2022 midterm. Dietrich said he is seeing a strong response on vote by mail. “In 2022 we had about 275,000 vote-by-mail ballots cast for the primary. We’re already at 290,000, and we’ll have quite a few of those coming in now and up until two weeks after Election Day that will still be added to that count,” Dietrich said. Dietrich said the state does not track partisan turnout in its pre-election reporting, but Illinois generally sees more Democratic ballots than Republican ballots in primaries. “I would expect that to continue this year, mainly because, first of all, you have a very hotly-contested U.S. Senate race,” Dietrich said. Dietrich said open congressional seats would also draw voters. The Chicago Board of Elections reported more than 123,000 ballots received as of Thursday night, up from under 71,000 five days before the 2022 primary. The Chicago board would not provide a breakdown of votes by party without a Freedom of Information Act request.)

I should write about my critics/opponents in the private sector. According to them, I was grossly overpaid and if my career had been in the private sector, I never would have earned as much money as I did. In my defense, I earned a job-related bachelor’s degree (management), three job-related master’s degrees (business, accounting, and finance), six job-related professional certifications (accounting, internal auditing, fraud examination, government financial management, financial services auditing, and forensic accounting), and a job-related professional license (CPA). In my defense, I spent the last 18 years of public sector career working for a federal agency (GAO) that shank from more than 6,000 employees to less than 3,000 employees because of Republican-led budget cuts. The agency was almost always under promotion freezes.

Only Firestone Stores offered me a job, and it was for a job that really did not require a college degree. All the firms that I applied to were under tremendous pressure from EEOC to hire minorities, females, and veterans. I was not a minority, female, or veteran. To make matters worse, potential employers saw me as being Vietnam War draft bait. They did not believe that my financial hardship draft deferment application would be approved. Beyond that, my GPA was not that great because I had spent far too many hours delivering mail instead of studying to work my way through college.

— Glass Ceiling Shattered? Audit Partner Gender Diversity Within Accounting Firms. DD: Choosing the right college major is extremely important. I should have majored in accounting from the beginning, but I did not until I was 27 in 1976 when I started taking graduate evening accounting courses at DePaul. I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt when I was 30. I earned a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul when I was 31. I passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt when I was 32. I became a licensed CPA when I was 32. But by then, the accounting profession had no interest in me a) because it viewed me as being too old and b) because my demographics were terrible. The profession was under tremendous pressure to advance minorities and females. Why didn’t I major in accounting from the beginning? I erroneously believed that because I was not strong in math, I could never pass the CPA examination. But I belatedly came to realize that accountants do not use the types of math that I was not strong in.

CHICAGO READER
— The death of diversity. Universities—in Illinois and across the U.S.—fall in line amid Trump’s attacks on higher education. DD: UIC accepted me when I was 18 in 1966, NIU when I was 20, Loyola when I was 23, DePaul when I was 27, and IIT when I was 43. But if I was 18, 20, 23, 27, or 43 today, I doubt that they would accept me because of my bad demographics. I am heterosexual, conservative, Republican, American, White, male, non-poor, non-veteran, Protestant, German American, and my ancestors have been in America since 1844. According to Democrat universities, those who are the aforesaid have unfairly benefitted from discrimination against those who are LGBTQ, liberal/moderate, non-Republican, noncitizen, minority, female, poor, veteran, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or have ancestors who have not been in America for a long time.

BILLY GRAHAM EVANGELISTIC ASSOCIATION
–Trump Administration Rescinds Gender Ideology Requirement for Foster Parents. DD: Because my wife and I gave up trying to have children without trying IVF, because we did not adopt, and because we did not become foster parents, my Democrat GAO superiors viciously demonized me, denigrated me, and condemned me as being a filthy rich disgusting DINK. According to them, if we had children, I would not have been able to a) pass the CPA examination on my first attempt when I was 30, b) earn a master’s degree in accounting when I was 31, c) pass the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt when I was 32, or d) become a licensed CPA when I was 32. None of them had as many job-related master’s degrees or professional certifications as I had. None of them was a licensed CPA like I was. According to them, if we had children, we would not have been able to have a home built in Wheaton when I was 35. My Democrat GAO superiors complained about the time and cost needed to raise children. They decried their spouses having little or no income.

They wasted what I learned working for IRS 1971-1980, the last 5 1/2 years at the GS-12 Step 1-5 Levels, currently $100,059-$113,402/year. They wasted what I learned working for GAO 1980-1997, the last 11 years at the GS-13 Step 1-10 Levels, currently $118,984-$154,682/year.

— Noem banished to this humiliating new post after Trump dumps her from cabinet. DD: My supporters rudely dumped me because I supported Pat O’Malley instead of Jim Ryan in the 2002 Republican gubernatorial primary. I served as O’Malley’s Milton Township campaign coordinator. My doing everything that I could to help Ryan defeat Blagojevich in the general election meant nothing to them. They continue to blame me for Ryan’s loss. Because Ryan lost to Blagojevich, they rudely ended my service as the Milton Township Republican Organization (MTRO) webmaster in 2004 and 2010. They rudely defeated me for the open MTRO Treasurer position in 2004. They rudely almost got the Illinois Center Right Coalition (ICRC) to censure me in 2006. They got me thrown off the ICRC Steering Committee in 2007. They ended my TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois chairmanship in 2012. They gerrymandered my precinct in 2015. They ended my service as the Republican fundraiser for Wheaton Independence Day parades and fireworks in 2021. etc. Ryan’s loss to Blagojevich in 2002 is viewed as being the beginning of the end of the Illinois Republican Party.

— Staying in Target Range with Diabetes Technologies. Continuous glucose monitors (CGM) are transforming diabetes management. DD: I am a type 2 diabetic. In my opinion, if I had not spent so much time helping elect Republicans since 2000, I would not have become a type 2 diabetic. Instead of exercising and sleeping, I helped elect Republicans. Since 2000, I have ever-increasingly spent more time putting GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters together and sending them out instead of exercising and sleeping. I am now wearing a CGM ( https://www.stelo.com/ ) at $84/month out-of-pocket to help me keep my glucose within the 70-180 target range. Last week, my glucose was in range only 64% of the time; the goal is 70%. I take five diabetes pills a day – Glimepiride (2), Metformin, Jardiance, and Rybelsus. Life is a series of choices. Obviously, I put helping elect Republicans ahead of my health. Obviously, my critics/opponents put stopping me from helping elect Republicans above all else. Increasingly, I cannot bring myself to attend Republican, conservative, and religious events in Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois because so many of my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes attend those events who have taken so many adverse actions against me to stop me from sending out GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters. Should I start naming my critics/opponents and writing about them? In addition to my serving as a Republican Precinct Committeeman since 1999 and as the GOPUSA Illinois Editor since 2000, I was a) the Milton Township Republican Organization webmaster 2000-2004 and 2008-2010, b) an Illinois Center Right Coalition officer 2003-2007, c) the TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois chairman 2005-2012, and d) the Republican fundraiser for Wheaton Independence Day parades and fireworks 2005-2021.

GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— How many have voted so far in Illinois, in your county, in your township, in your municipality, and in your precinct? How many Democrat, Republican, and NA ballots have been cast so far? Who does not want the aforesaid information to be reported and why? – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com
— If Democrat leaders are not having their illegals use their false identifications to vote, why are Democrat leaders so hyper about ICE at polling places? Anticipate/expect that Democrat leaders have their illegals bring Democrats who share their demographics to the polls. – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com
— In Illinois, to cast a Republican or Democrat ballot in a primary is to publicly declare your political affiliation for the next 2 years. I have always cast Republican primary ballots. For Democrats, the federal government exists to hire, retain, and promote Democrats. My Democrat superiors in the federal government have always known that I have always cast Republican primary ballots. Notwithstanding that, the Democrats who ran the Post Office in 1966, IRS in 1971, and GAO in 1980 hired me anyway. They could not find a qualified Democrat, minority, female, younger person, or veteran who would take the job. They erroneously believed that if they took enough adverse actions against me, I would become a Democrat. 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 a) disallowed my travel vouchers in 1974, b) disallowed my education deductions in 1978, and c) never promoted me beyond GS-12. My Democrat GAO superiors a) forced me to take a $23,699 (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS, b) delayed my promotions and never promoted me beyond GS-13, c) kept me off audits of IRS for all but 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for them, d) always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance, and e) forced me to resign when I was 49 in 1997. They would not have taken the aforesaid adverse actions against me if I had been a minority, female, or veteran. To be a Democrat is to promote race and gender based preference giving, patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, religious discrimination, and national origin discrimination. – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com
— The Democrats who run Illinois ever-increasing drive Republican employers out of Illinois. Because of that, it is ever-increasingly difficult, if not impossible, for Republicans to get hired, retained, and promoted in Illinois. That is especially true for Republicans who share Trump’s demographics: conservative, White, male, older, non-poor, non-veteran, Protestant, German American, and/or have ancestors who have been in America for a long time. How soon, if not already, will employers in Illinois post signs that say “Republican need not apply?” – Dave Diersen

My critics/opponents have always stressed that all my ancestors immigrated during the 1840s and 1850s. In their defense, I have always stressed that they always lived in northeast Illinois.

— ICE training was slashed, records show, corroborating whistleblower claims. Previously unreported records also offer new details about what was cut from ICE’s basic training program. Concerns about the quality of ICE agents’ training have mounted for months. DD: The first 6 months that I worked for IRS as a Revenue Officer in 1971 was classroom training. I worked for IRS for almost 9 years, the last 5 1/2 years of which at the GS-12 Step-1-5 Levels, currently $100,059-$113,402/year. GAO audits IRS. I transferred from IRS to GAO when I was 31 in 1980. The Democrats who ran GAO wasted my knowledge of IRS. They succeeded in keeping me off audits of IRS for all but 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for GAO. They would not have done that if I had been a Democrat, minority, female, or veteran.

— OPM Formally Proposes Major Overhaul of Federal Performance Ratings.

At IRS, they disallowed my travel vouchers in 1974, disallowed my education deductions in 1978, and never promoted me beyond GS-12. At GAO, they forced me to take a $23,699 (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS in 1980, delayed my promotions and never promoted me beyond GS-13, always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance, and forced me to retire when I was 49 in 1997.

CPA PRACTICE ADVISOR
— Illinois CPA Society Accepting Accounting Scholarship Applications. DD: Choosing the right college major is extremely important. I should have majored in accounting from the beginning, but I did not until I was 27 when I started taking graduate evening accounting courses at DePaul. I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt when I was 30. I earned a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul when I was 31. I passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt when I was 32. I became a licensed CPA when I was 32. But by then, the accounting profession had no interest in me a) because it viewed me as being too old and b) because my demographics were terrible. The profession was under tremendous pressure to advance minorities and females. Why didn’t I major in accounting from the beginning? I erroneously believed that because I was not strong in math, I could never pass the CPA examination. But I belatedly came to realize that accountants do not use the types of math that I was not strong in.

— DD: What do your critics/opponents use against you? Anti-conservative advocates discredit conservative advocates. Since the 1970s, to discredit me and to discredit my advocacy of traditional marriage and family, my critics/opponents have stressed that my wife and I gave up trying to have children without trying IVF, our not adopting, and our not becoming foster parents. They have always known full-well that both of us have major fertility problems and that our doctors advised against our trying IVF. Nevertheless, they have always stressed that my wife’s health insurance covered IVF. They have always hinted/implied/argued/shouted that I am boldfaced hypocrite and a boldfaced liar about my wanting to have children. They have had great success turning religious leaders against me. They have always hinted/implied/argued/shouted that if we had children, I would not have been able to a) pass the CPA examination, let alone pass it on my first attempt in 1979, b) earn a master’s degree in accounting in 1980, c) pass the Certified Internal Auditor examination, let alone pass it on my first attempt in 1981, d) become a licensed CPA in 1981, e) buy collector cars in 1989 and 1994, f) etc. and that we would not have been able to have a home built in Wheaton in 1984, etc. They have viciously demonized, denigrated, and condemned us as being disgusting selfish filthy rich DINKs. They could not have done that if we had children.

— Why have student test scores been declining for a decade in America? DD: I passed the CPA and Certified Internal Auditor tests on my first attempt. Only about 20% of those who take those tests can say that. Further, I passed all the tests needed to earn a job-related bachelor’s degree and three job-related master’s degrees. Further, I passed the postal employment test and the Federal Service Entrance Examination. According to critics/opponents, I was able to do the aforesaid because the tests a) favored those who shared my demographics (White, male, Protestant, German American) and b) discriminated against those who did not share my demographics (minority, female, non-Protestant, and non-German American). 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, and I had to work my way through college.

— U.S. Military Leaders Agree with Duckworth: Expanding TRICARE Coverage of IVF Would Benefit Servicemembers and Strengthen Military. DD: My Democrat GAO superiors viciously used against me my and my wife’s giving up trying to have children without trying IVF. They not only stressed that IVF was covered by my wife’s insurance, they hinted/implied/argued/shouted that I lied about our trying to have children. They ignored/dismissed/belittled our big fertility problems and our doctor’s advising us against it. They all decried the time and money they spent raising their children. They all decried their spouses having little or no income. According to them, if we had children, I would not have been able to a) pass the CPA examination, let alone pass it on my first attempt, b) earn a master’s degree in accounting, c) pass the Certified Internal Auditor examination, let alone pass it on my first attempt, d) become a licensed CPA, e) have a home built in Wheaton, f) buy collector cars, g) etc. They viciously demonized, denigrated, and condemned us as being disgusting selfish filthy rich DINKs. They would not have done that if I had been a Democrat, minority, female, or veteran.

— The DuPage County Election Division should highlight early voting data on its website. That data should include how many votes have been cast the day before, the week before, and cumulatively broken out by the number of Republican, Democrat, and NA ballots that were cast. Further, voters should be able to see the aforesaid data for their township and their precinct. Voters should be able to see and analyze trends. – Dave Diersen
