CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— DD: Democrat leaders ever-increasingly shout at Blacks that Republicans have caused all the problems that Blacks have had, are causing all the problems that Blacks are having, and will forever cause all the problems that Blacks will have. I should write about the successes and failures that my Democrat superiors in the federal government had doing that with my many Black superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates. My Democrat GAO superiors forced me to retire when I was 49 in 1997 and gave my job and my preferred corner office to my Black subordinate. He had less education than I had. He had less work experience than I had. He had one professional certification while I had six. He had no professional license like the one I had (CPA).

DAILY HERALD
— DD: Democrat leaders ever-increasingly a) flood America with citizens of foreign countries and b) put them on track to vote for Democrats. All my employers would have hired noncitizens instead of me if they could have. My critics/opponents cannot say that because they had wealthy parents. Noncitizens work for less money and they are easier to exploit.

GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— According to Google AI, “If you can’t beat them, join them” is a popular proverb meaning that when you cannot defeat a competitor or opponent, it is often more practical to stop fighting them and instead cooperate, adopt their methods, or join their side.” My critics/opponents who state that they are Republican are Democrat Lite. Constructively, they have joined the Democrat Party. They reject some, many, most, virtually all, if not all the planks in the Republican Party platform. Most Commonly, they reject its personal responsibility, traditional marriage and family, right to life, immigration, anti-vice, Second Amendment, and/or equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) planks. They ever-increasingly destroy those like me who promote the aforesaid planks. To get rid of me, they have taken many big adverse actions against me since 2000. 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. – Dave Diersen

(FROM THE ARTICLE: American liberty, as described in the Declaration of Independence, rests on the idea that rights come from a Creator and that people are capable of self-government under higher moral standards. Without basic exposure to the Christian principles that informed those ideas, students struggle to see why restraint, personal responsibility, and conscience matter more than raw individual desire. Even more worrisome is the rise in thought that our rights are not endowed by our Creator but by the government.)

CBS NEWS
— Supreme Court expands presidential firing power. DD: Federal employees who are the following have no Civil Service protections: conservative, Republican, White, male, older, non-veteran, German American, and/or have ancestors who have been in America for a long time. Unions provide some protection. But GAO did not unionize until 2007. If GAO had been unionized when I transferred from IRS in 1980, my Democrat GAO superiors would not have been able to take the many big adverse actions against me that they did. My Democrat GAO superiors a) forced me to retire when I was 49 in 1997, b) always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance, c) delayed my promotions and never promoted me beyond GS-13, and d) forced me to take a $23,699/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980. But even though I was a union member at the time, a) my Democrat IRS superiors never promoted me beyond GS-12, disallowed my education deductions in 1978, and disallowed my travel vouchers in 1974 and b) my Democrat Post Office superiors forced me to resign in 1969 and disallowed my sick leave requests in 1969 and 1968. That was because I was not a Democrat, minority, female, and/or veteran. For Democrats, the federal government exists to hire, retain, and promote Democrats who are minority, female, younger, veteran, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or have ancestors who have not been in America for a long time. Virtually all federal employees are Democrats who are one or more of the aforesaid. All of my coworkers who my Democrat superiors in the federal government promoted over me were Democrats who a) had less education than I had, had less work experience than I had, had no professional certification or fewer than I had, and/or had no professional license like the one I had and/or b) were minority, female, younger, veteran, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or had ancestors who had not been in America for a long time.

FORTUNE
— The Supreme Court upholds Fed independence by saving Lisa Cook’s job. DD: Have adverse actions been taken against you “for cause?” My critics/opponents have always hinted/implied/argued/shouted that GAO forced me to retire “for cause” when I was 49 in 1997. They stress the adverse actions that my GAO superiors had taken against me previously. They had always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance. They had delayed my promotions and never promoted me beyond GS-13. They had forced me to take a $23,699/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980. Previously, my IRS superiors had never promoted me beyond GS-12, disallowed my education deductions in 1978, and disallowed my travel vouchers in 1974. Previously, my Post Office superiors had forced me to resign in 1969 and disallowed my sick leave requests in 1969 and 1968. My critics/opponents have always ignored/dismissed/belittled the fact a) that I have always been a Republican, b) that all my GAO, IRS, and Post Office superiors who took the aforesaid actions against me were Democrats, c) that I become an active member in a class action lawsuit that charged my Democrat GAO superiors with reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation since 1988, and d) that I had ever-increasingly complained about their political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation. My critics/opponents have always hinted/implied/argued/shouted that I must have been guilty of “gross malfeasance or negligence” or even worse things because the many big aforesaid adverse actions were taken against me even though I had earned job-related professional certifications in 1997, 1996, 1994, 1990, 1981, and 1979, I had earned job-related master’s degrees in 1997, 1981, and 1976, and had earned a job-related professional license in 1981.

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Justices ruled 5–4 on Monday that President Donald Trump was wrong to try ousting Fed Governor Lisa Cook last August because she didn’t receive due process. Trump’s bid to fire her—the first such attempt ever—came as he was demanding the Fed lower interest rates, despite data showing inflation remained elevated, the result, in part, of his tariffs. While Fed officials can be removed “for cause,” which has been interpreted to mean gross malfeasance or negligence, Cook was accused of committing mortgage fraud before joining the Fed. She has denied the charges and said she wasn’t given the chance to rebut the claims. Lower courts agreed with her. “Under our precedents, Cook was entitled to notice and some opportunity to respond prior to her termination,” Chief Justice John Roberts wrote. He also asserted the Trump administration’s argument that a president can remove a member of the Fed “at any time, for any reason, without any notice before, and without any judicial check” would render the “for-cause protection into little more than at-will employment.” Protecting the Fed from the whims of a president is vital to the central bank’s duty to set monetary policy free of political considerations, Roberts explained.)

FEDERAL RETIREMENT
— OPM Proposes Eliminating Time-in-Grade Rule. DD: My critics/opponents have always been furious that my IRS manager (Dave) promoted me as soon as I was eligible to GS-9 (currently $68,999/year) when I was 23 in 1972, to GS-11 (currently $83,483/year) when I was 24, and to GS-12 (currently $100,059/year) when I was 25. My Democrat IRS superiors got rid of Dave for doing that. According to them, those promotions should have been given to my Democrat IRS coworkers who were minority, female, younger, and/or veteran. Dave was impressed that I was taking graduate evening business courses at Loyola. None of my coworkers did anything like that.
https://www.myfederalretirement.com/eliminating-time-in-grade-federal-employees/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: For decades, one of the most predictable aspects of a federal career has been the time-in-grade (TIG) requirement. In most cases, General Schedule (GS) employees have had to spend 52 weeks at their current grade before becoming eligible for promotion to the next higher grade. However the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) has proposed eliminating the federal government’s time-in-grade requirement for competitive service employees. If finalized, agencies could promote qualified employees based on their abilities and qualifications instead of waiting for a one-year clock to expire. For some employees, this could mean faster career advancement and higher lifetime earnings. For agencies, it could provide greater flexibility in recruiting and retaining talented employees. However, it also raises questions about consistency and fairness in promotion decisions. Key Takeaways. If this rule becomes final: The one-year time-in-grade requirement would be eliminated. Employees would still have to meet all qualification and specialized experience requirements.
Promotions would not become automatic. Agencies would have greater flexibility in deciding when employees are ready for promotion.
Faster promotions could increase lifetime earnings, TSP contributions, and potentially a federal employee’s High-3 average salary used to calculate a FERS pension.)

GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— Political parties exist to help elect candidates who can and will defend and advance their platform. The Republican Party platform is conservative. According to Google AI: “Democrat Lite is a pejorative political term used primarily by conservative or libertarian critics to describe moderate or establishment Republicans. It implies that these politicians lack core conservative principles and instead support a milder version of liberal or Democratic policies (such as big-government spending). Critics often use the phrase to argue that Republicans abandon their base by offering a watered-down agenda to appeal to the political center.” My critics/opponents who state that they are Republican are Democrat Lite. They reject some, many, most, virtually all, if not all the planks in the Republican Party platform. Most Commonly, they reject its personal responsibility, traditional marriage and family, right to life, immigration, anti-vice, Second Amendment, and/or equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) planks. They destroy those like me who promote the aforesaid planks. To get rid of me, they have taken many big adverse actions against me since 2000. 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. – Dave Diersen

— According to Google AI: “Come to your defense is a phrase that means stepping in to protect, support, or justify someone when they are being criticized, attacked, or facing a challenge. Depending on context, it could refer to legal/physical self-defense, an academic thesis defense, or simply standing up for a friend.” Ever-increasingly, if you live in Illinois, the more of the following that you are, the more that you should not anticipate/expect that others will come to your defense: conservative, Republican, American, White, male, older, heterosexual, non-poor, married, Protestant, German American, and/or have ancestors who have been in America for a long time. My critics/opponent stress those who I have done much to help elect and to help reelect since 2000, but who did not come to my defense when my critics/opponents had their operatives and dupes a) rudely through off the Illinois Republican Party State Convention Platform and Resolutions Committee in 2024, b) rudely end my role as the Republican fundraiser for Wheaton Independence Day parades and fireworks in 2021, c) rudely gerrymander my precinct in 2015, d) rudely end my TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois chairmanship in 2012, e) rudely end my Milton Township Republican Organization (MTRO) webmaster service in 2010 and 2004, f) rudely end my Illinois Center Right Coalition (ICRC) Steering Committee membership in 2007, g) rudely almost got ICRC to censure me for my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters in 2006, and h) rudely defeat my bid for the open MTRO Treasurer position in 2004. – Dave Diersen

— From what I see spending 10+ hours a day putting GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters together and serving as a Republican Precinct Committeeman, if you live in Illinois, the more of the following that you are, the bleaker that your future is: conservative, Republican, American, White, male, older, heterosexual, non-poor, married, Protestant, German American, and/or have ancestors who have been in America for a long time. Ever-increasingly, those who are the aforesaid are leaving Illinois. Democrat leaders ever-increasingly dive those who are the aforesaid out of Illinois and replace them with those who are liberal/moderate, Democrat, noncitizen, minority, female, younger, LGBTQ, poor, unmarried, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or have ancestors who have not been in America for a long time. – Dave Diersen

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Los Angeles, the city that no longer loves itself, the city that is casting out the angels and replacing them with progressive demons and rabid communists, has unleashed another political inferno with their latest diabolical election scheme. By a vote of 10 to 5, the Los Angeles City Council passed a charter amendment initiative which, if approved by the voters in November, would allow non-citizens to vote in Los Angeles’ local city and school board elections. The Democratic Socialist of America-allied (DSA) leader of the LA City Council’s progressive phalanx, Hugo Soto-Martinez, rolled out the usual dodgy reasons proffered for this scandalous proposal. The reasons are daunting and disturbing:)

— Marriage is starting later than ever. DD: I did not get married until I was 29 in 1978. If I had not met my outstanding wife at a church sponsored singles social event when I was 28 in 1977, I might never had gotten married. My Democrat IRS superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates were furious that I got married. To get rid of me, they had painted me being an extremely bad person because I had refused to become a Democrat. They hinted/implied/argued that because of that, I would never get married. What helped you become marriage material? By the time I got married, I had worked for IRS for almost 7 years and my salary was $110,066/year in today’s dollars. I had earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976 and I was taking graduate evening accounting courses at DePaul. I lived in a one bedroom condo in the Outer Drive East building that I had bought in 1976. I was renting out a town home in University Park that I had bought new in 1972. I owned a 1972 Corvette that I had bought new in 1971. See Money Magazine’s 4-page February 1978 article on my wife and I at https://gopillinois.com/documents/ Things that impressed me about my outstanding wife included that her first job after high school was working for the FBI. She soon became the Corporate Secretary of the U.S. League of Savings Institutions. She did much to help elect Big Jim Thompson governor in 1976. She earned a bachelor’s degree in finance from DePaul in 1986.

I am all of the aforesaid. All of my ancestors were Protestants who immigrated from what is now Germany during the 1840s and 1850s. In their defense, I stress that they always lived in northeast Illinois, that they never were in a position to discriminate against anyone, and that they never did discriminate against anyone.

— Civil Service Protections. DD: Federal employees who are the following have no Civil Service protections: conservative, Republican, White, male, older, non-veteran, German American, and/or have ancestors who have been in America for a long time. Unions provide some protection. But GAO did not unionize until 2007. If GAO had been unionized when I transferred from IRS in 1980, my Democrat GAO superiors would not have been able to take the many big adverse actions against me that they did. My Democrat GAO superiors a) forced me to retire when I was 49 in 1997, b) always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance, c) delayed my promotions and never promoted me beyond GS-13, and d) forced me to take a $23,699/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980. But even though I was a union member at the time, a) my Democrat IRS superiors never promoted me beyond GS-12, disallowed my education deductions in 1978, and disallowed my travel vouchers in 1974 and b) my Democrat Post Office superiors forced me to resign in 1969 and disallowed my sick leave requests in 1969 and 1968. That was because I was not a Democrat, minority, female, and/or veteran. For Democrats, the federal government exists to hire, retain, and promote Democrats who are minority, female, younger, veteran, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or have ancestors who have not been in America for a long time. Virtually all federal employees are Democrats who are one or more of the aforesaid. All of my coworkers who my Democrat superiors in the federal government promoted over me were Democrats who a) had less education than I had, had less work experience than I had, had no professional certification or fewer than I had, and/or had no professional license like the one I had and/or b) were minority, female, younger, veteran, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or had ancestors who had not been in America for a long time.

— Tucker Carlson’s Reason For Leaving The GOP Is Unpatriotic. DD: Political parties exist to help elect candidates who can and will defend and advance their platform. The Republican Party platform is conservative. My critics/opponents want me to leave the Republican Party. They want me to stop sending out GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters. They want me to resign as a Republican Precinct Committeeman. They want the Republican Party to officially change its name to the Democrat Lite Party. According to them, I am far too conservative. They reject planks in the Republican Party platform that I promote. They reject the personal responsibility, traditional marriage and family, right to life, immigration, anti-vice, Second Amendment, and/or equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) planks in the Republican Party platform. They are RINOs if not Democrat plants.

I bought new cars when I was 17, 19, 20, 23, 25, 29, etc. I earned colleges degrees when I was 21, 27, 31, and 48.

MADISON COUNTY JOURNAL
— Democrats take great offense at being accused of being unpatriotic — but the data don’t lie. A new NBC News poll captured the partisan gap over pride in America. Overall, 56% of Americans are extremely or very proud of the country, but only 29% of Democrats, compared to 90% of Republicans. That’s a yawning gap, and about a matter that really shouldn’t be controversial. We aren’t talking about abortion, or Donald Trump’s White House ballroom, but an elemental thing — pride in country — that in most times and places has been taken for granted. Once upon a time, that was the case here. The Gallup poll found in January 2001 that nearly 90 percent of Americans were extremely or very proud of the country. In 2017, according to Gallup, 75% of the public said they extremely or very proud of America — a low at the time — and it’s been down since. The decline has been driven largely by Democrats. Their disdain for President Trump clearly is responsible for some of the drop, but not all of it. Democrats were less proud of the country than Republicans even when Barack Obama and Joe Biden were president.

My Democrat GAO superiors a) forced me to take a $23,699/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980, b) delayed my promotions and never promoted me beyond GS-13, c) always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance, and d) forced me to retire when I was 49 in 1997. I frustrated their efforts to get rid of me by earning a) a job-related bachelor’s degree in 1970, b) job-related master’s degrees in 1976, 1981, and 1997, c) professional certifications in 1979, 1981, 1990, 1994, 1996, and 1997, and c) a job-related professional license in 1981.

FED SMITH
— Federal Employee Pay Has Reached Record Levels—But the Story Is More Complicated Than It Appears. Federal salaries now average $112,456, but workforce demographics, retirements, and hiring challenges reveal a more nuanced picture of federal pay. DD: My critics/opponents who are/were not union members are vehemently anti-union. According to my critics/opponents, I have always been grossly overpaid. They have always been furious that while I was a union member when I was a postal employee for almost 3 years and then an IRS employee for almost 9 years, my salary increased from $19.57/hour to $113,402/year in today’s dollars. I my defense, during that time, I earned a bachelor’s degree in business, I earned an MBA, I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt, and I almost completed the requirements for a master’s degree in accounting. In today’s dollars, my IRS salary was $56,409/year when I was 22 in 1971, $68,999/year when I was 23, $83,482/year when I was 24, $100,059/year when I was 25, and $113,402/year when I was 31. In today’s dollars, my GAO salary was $89,703/year when I was 31, $118,984/year when I was 38, and $154,682/year when I was 49. I earned a master’s degree in accounting 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. I earned four more job-related professional certifications when I was 41, 45, 47, and 48. I earned a master’s degree in finance when I was 48.

Most Illinois voters assume that when a legislator files a bill, the bill gets a hearing, lawmakers debate it, votes are cast, and the public can see where everyone stands. That is not how Springfield works under Democrat House Speaker Chris Welch. In fact, one of the least-discussed realities of the Illinois House of Representatives is that there are three trap doors designed to prevent any bill the Speaker doesn’t want from ever reaching the point of public debate. Most voters never hear about these rules because the media doesn’t write about them.

https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2026/jun/23/sanctuary-cities-revive-americas-oldest-constitutional-heresy/

WASHINGTON EXAMINER
— Reparations: Who would the payors and the payees be? DD: My critics/opponents want those who share my demographics to pay reparations. According to them, those who share my demographics benefitted tremendously from slavery. They stress that all my ancestors immigrated during the 1840s and 1850s. In my ancestors’ defense, they always lived in northeast Illinois. They never were in a position to discriminate against anyone and they never did discriminate against anyone.
https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/op-eds/4619731/question-new-jersey-slavery-reparations-push-cant-answer/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: In June 2025, the New Jersey Reparations Council released its 244-page report, “For Such a Time as This,” calling on the state to provide “repair” for a claimed $643,000 per-family racial wealth gap and endorsing sweeping reparations-related policies. Since then, several New Jersey reparations advocacy groups have again invoked Juneteenth to renew calls for lawmakers in Trenton to take up the Council’s recommendations. I will leave ethicists to debate the fairness of coercing one generation that committed no sin to compensate people against whom no sin was committed. Instead, I pose a simpler question: Who are the payors and payees? Reparations require neat racial bookkeeping at a time when America has become anything but neat. Since Loving v. Virginia in 1967, interracial and interethnic relationships have become commonplace. Roughly one-quarter of coupled Americans now have a partner of a different race or ethnicity, while millions of children have mixed-race parentage. As racial lines blur with each decade, advocates rarely explain who qualifies, who pays, and who collects. Does a half-white Patrick Mahomes pay… himself? The Council’s report declares that “all Black people in New Jersey are eligible for reparations,” while expressly declining to limit eligibility to descendants of enslaved people. Yet it never offers a workable definition of “Black” in a state where race and ethnicity overlap. Is eligibility based on ancestry percentage, self-identification, mixed-race status, ethnicity, appearance, family history, or length of residence? The report does not say. And who pays? The report simply demands that “New Jersey” pay hundreds of billions of dollars in reparations — $178,000 to each black person or $642,800 to each black family — without clearly explaining how such payments would be funded or where Hispanics, Indians, Asians, Middle Easterners, recent African immigrants, and other nonwhite residents fit into this racial accounting. That lack of clarity exposes the deeper problem: Morality aside, the sheer complexity, subjectivity, and administrative arbitrariness of reparations make them untenable on their face. Targeting New Jerseyans is especially strange. During the Civil War, New Jersey sent more than 88,000 citizens to fight for the Union, not the Confederacy. More than 6,000 died, many of them boys and young men. Adjusted for today’s population, that would be the equivalent of nearly 90,000 New Jerseyans dying — more than the state’s entire number of male high-school seniors. One would think a state that sacrificed the flower of its youth in the war that ended slavery had made a rather substantial atonement. Nor are today’s New Jerseyans even remotely the same population. Millions descend from families who arrived decades after Appomattox, often penniless and facing discrimination themselves. Indeed, one in four New Jersey residents today was not even born in the United States. It is hard to see how they bear moral or financial liability for a long-abolished institution. Reparations advocates such as Social Justice Matters, Inc, often emphasize that New Jersey once held “more than two-thirds of all enslaved black people in the North.” But two-thirds of what? Notice the move: percentages instead of raw numbers. “Two-thirds of all Northern slaves” sounds far more damning than 2,254 — the actual number still held in bondage in New Jersey in 1830, according to the census. I say “still” because that figure had fallen from roughly 12,422 in 1800, an 82% decline. Slavery remained technically legal, yes, but it was rapidly withering. By 1840, the number was down to 674. By Juneteenth 1865, the Garden State could count exactly 18 remaining elderly slaves. That puts New Jersey’s wartime sacrifice in perspective. For each of New Jersey’s remaining enslaved black people freed at war’s end, some 350 white New Jerseyans had died in the struggle that ended bondage. Was New Jersey guilty of participating in slavery? Absolutely. Did slavery create disadvantages that lingered for generations? No doubt. No one should deny either truth. But guilt is not a blank check, and history is not an accounting ledger that can be balanced two centuries later by sorting today’s residents into crude racial categories. If the Reparations Council wants to impose vast costs on New Jerseyans, it should at least answer the simplest questions first: Who qualifies? Who pays? How is liability assigned? What happens to mixed-race families? What about immigrants, recent arrivals, and descendants of Union soldiers? Until those questions are answered, New Jersey reparations remain less a serious policy proposal than a moral slogan in search of a workable system.)

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/social-security-insolvency-income-inequality-tax-cap/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Social Security’s looming funding crisis is usually blamed on demographics, with an aging U.S. population and declining birth rates leaving fewer workers to support retirees. But another force is also draining the program’s finances: widening income inequality. In the last few decades, incomes of higher-paid Americans have soared, far outpacing those of low- and middle-class workers. That’s become a problem for Social Security because the program only taxes annual earnings up to $184,500, meaning it loses out on much of the faster income growth among top earners. As a result, Social Security’s revenue base is eroding, according to the program’s latest trustees’ report. The share of total wages subject to Social Security taxes has fallen from almost 87% in 1984 to roughly 83% today, largely because high earners’ pay has grown much faster than everyone else’s, lifting more of their income above the tax cap, the report found.)

ILLINOIS FAMILY INSTITUTE
— Paid by the Head. On June 11, 2026, three federal officials stood before a room full of journalists in Washington, described a crime scene the size of a city, and revealed that the government itself was responsible for it. Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche, Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin, and Acting Office of Refugee Resettlement Director Angie Salazar told the country what their investigators had found. More than 475,000 unaccompanied children were referred to the federal government during the Biden administration. By the end of 2024, more than 300,000 of them could not be accounted for. In the eighteen months since, a federal task force has located roughly 146,000.

— How successful have Democrat leaders been advancing the Democrat Party platform in your county, township, municipality, school district, and precinct. That is, how successful have they been advancing more dependency on government and charity, LGBTQ, abortion, mass/illegal immigration, vices, diminishment of Second Amendment rights, and Affirmative Action, DEI, and wokeness/wokeism, that is, advancing more race and gender based preference giving, patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, religious discrimination, and national origin discrimination? Democrat leaders in Illinois, DuPage County, Milton Township, Wheaton, and Wheaton Warrenville School District 200 are having ever-increasing success because RINO leaders ever-increasingly fail/refuse to defend or advance the Republican Party platform. The Democrat Party platform promotes poverty and crime. The Democrat Party platform drives out of Illinois, DuPage County, Milton Township, Wheaton, Wheaton Warrenville School District, and my precinct those who are conservative, Republican, White, male, older, heterosexual, non-poor, married, Protestant, German American, and/or have ancestors who have been in America for a long time.

— Political parties exist to help elect candidates who can and will defend and advance their platform. The Republican Party platform is conservative. Who are your peers? Who are your competitors? Who are your critics/opponents? Who has power over you? What are you doing to gain their acceptance? What will you NOT do to gain their acceptance? I have NOT and I will NOT deemphasize, downplay, or dump conservative principles or planks in the Republican Party platform. The aforesaid have always hinted/implied/argued/shouted that I should deemphasize, downplay, if not dump the personal responsibility, traditional marriage and family, right to life, immigration, anti-vice, Second Amendment, and/or equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) planks in the Republican Party platform. They want me be to be RINO/Democrat Lite like them. I have not and I will not do that. Consequently, they ever-increasingly work harder against me. So be it. – Dave Diersen

WALL STREET JOURNAL
— Trump Can Restore Standards to Federal Hiring. Restoring the civil-service exam would bring fairer selection and a more competent workforce. DD: I passed the Federal Service Entrance Examination (FSEE) when I was 21 in 1970. Democrats run the federal government. Almost all federal employees are Democrats. The more of the following that you are, the more that you NEED NOT APPLY for a federal job: conservative, Republican, White, male, older, non-veteran, non-poor, Protestant, German American, and/or have ancestors who have been in America for a long time. I am all of the aforesaid. The Democrats who ran GAO in 1980, IRS in 1971, and the Post Office in 1966 hired me because they could not find a qualified Democrat, minority, female, younger person, or veteran who would take the job. GAO would not have hired me if I had not passed the CPA examination on my first attempt and earned an MBA. IRS would not have hired me if I had not passed the FSEE and earned a bachelor’s degree in business. The Post Office would not have hired me if I had not passed the postal employment test and earned a high school diploma.
https://www.wsj.com/opinion/trump-can-restore-standards-to-federal-hiring-07b64da0
(FROM THE ARTICLE: These problems have a solution that worked from the 1883 passage of the Pendleton Civil Service Act until the advent of federal-hiring affirmative action in the 1960s. As of the late 1950s, the federal hiring process went like this: Applicants for entry-level positions received an admission card for the Federal Service Entrance Examination for a specific time, date and location. The examination assessed general knowledge, vocabulary, math, reasoning and specific job skills. Tests were administered in high-school auditoriums, armories, federal buildings or college lecture halls. They were proctored by Civil Service Commission employees. Applicants had to present their admission card and photo ID to enter the examination room, where talking and notes were prohibited. The test lasted up to four hours. Applicants with an honorable discharge from the armed forces got five extra points added to their raw score, or 10 points if they were disabled. Spouses and widows of veterans got 10 points. The Civil Service Commission maintained separate registers of applicants for a variety of job types and grade levels. Agencies looking for new employees requested candidates from the Civil Service Commission that matched the job category and grade level they were trying to fill. The commission sent them a “certificate of eligibles” applying the “Rule of Three” that had been in force since 1888. It limited the hiring official to a choice among the three highest-scoring candidates—the only truly effective way to limit the role of personal preferences in hiring decisions. If the federal government could administer proctored tests in the 1950s, it can do so now. If it could limit hiring officials’ discretion then, it can do so now. Bring back an updated version of the Federal Service Entrance Examination and apply the Rule of Three for all new hires. It won’t transform the civil service immediately, but it would dramatically improve the competence of new hires and the fairness of their selection.)

The Post Office would not have hired me if I had not passed the postal employment test and earned a high school diploma. IRS would not have hired me if I had not passed the Federal Service Entrance Examination and earned a bachelor’s degree in business. GAO would not have hired me if I had not passed the CPA examination on my first attempt and earned an MBA. I would not have become a postal employee in 1966 if my high school friend had not asked me to take the postal employment test with him. I would not have become an IRS employee in 1971 if my Firestone Store boss had not fired me because I had accepted a job offer from Oldsmobile, an offer that Oldsmobile withdrew saying it had just agreed to stop hiring Whites to settle an EEOC complaint. I would not have become a GAO employee in 1980 if my Democrat IRS superiors had not made it clear that they would never promote me to GS-13.

— Registration is open for political entries in Wheaton’s July 4 Independence Day Parade. SEE: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/wheaton-independence-day-parade-entry-2026-tickets-1984881886153 The deadline is June 26. The cost is $183.58. I hope that all the Republican candidates on the ballot in my precinct will walk in the parade: Tracy, Bailey/Del Mar, Fioretti, Harris, Drew, Soloman, Oakley, Lewis, Vrankovich, Grasso, Noonan, Schiappa, Henry, Eckhoff, Michaud, Schultz, Quirk, and Helland. – Dave Diersen

— Since I became a Republican Precinct Committeeman in Wheaton in 1999, I have encouraged Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct to walk in Wheaton Independence Day parades. In 2003, the day after all the announced Republican candidates for U.S. Senate (Cox, Kathuria, McKenna, Oberweis, and Ryan) had walked in the parade, they all attended a picnic that I had organized in the Prairie Path Park in my precinct. More than 200 attended. In 2005, I started raising $2,500/year from Republican candidates, elected officials, and party leaders to help sponsor the parade and fireworks. Each year I would hand-deliver 500 parade flyers to the homes and businesses along the parade route. In 2007, I raised $2,000 on short notice for an elephant to walk behind Roskam in the parade. U.S. Senate candidate Obama and his wife walked in the parade in 2004. But my critics/opponents ended my fundraising in 2021 by having the Wheaton Park District stop parade and fireworks sponsorships. I should write about my critics/opponents. I would focus on those who continue to have lots of religious, government, political, and/or financial clout in Wheaton. I would focus on those who have had their operatives and their dupes take many other adverse actions against me. They want to de-politized the parade, that is, they want to keep Republican candidates, elected officials, and party leaders out of the parade. – Dave Diersen

Those who vote for Democrats are liberal/moderate, minority, female, younger, LGBTQ, poor, unmarried, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or have ancestors who have not been in America for a long time.

The new proposed rule, known as CON-10, does not mention sexual orientation or same-sex relationships. Instead, it targets multipartner relationships, arguing that the practice of polyamory or polygamy can create “power imbalances, emotional harm, and spiritual confusion,” particularly for women, children and historically marginalized persons.)

— Median age for first marriage in US reaches record high. DD: What helped you become marriage material? By the time I got married when I was 29 in 1978, I had worked for IRS for almost 7 years and my salary was $110,066/year in today’s dollars. I had earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976 and I was taking graduate evening accounting courses at DePaul. I lived in a one bedroom condo in the Outer Drive East building that I had bought in 1976. I was renting out a town home in University Park that I had bought new in 1972. I owned a 1972 Corvette that I had bought new in 1971. Things that impressed me about my outstanding wife included that her first job after high school was working for the FBI. She soon became the Corporate Secretary of the U.S. League of Savings Institutions. She did much to help elect Big Jim Thompson governor in 1976. She earned a bachelor’s degree in finance from DePaul in 1986. According to Google AI, “Age is the single most important factor affecting fertility.” My wife and I gave up trying to have children without trying IVF because we both had big fertility problems. But according to my Democrat GAO superiors, we gave up trying to have children, we did not adopt, and we did not become foster parents because I was a disgusting hypocritical DINK. My Democrat GAO superiors decried the time and money they spent raising their children. They 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 on my first attempt when I was 30, b) suffer a $23,699/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO when I was 31, c) earn a master’s degree in accounting when I was 31, d) pass the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt when I was 32, or e) become a licensed CPA when I was 32. Further, that we would not have been able to have a home built in Wheaton when I was 35.

— DD: Democrats run the federal government. Because of that, federal employees who are the following have no Civil Service protections: Republican, White, male, older, and/or non-veteran. Unions provide some protection. But GAO did not unionize until 2007. If GAO had been unionized when I transferred from IRS in 1980, my Democrat GAO superiors would not have been able to take the many big adverse actions against me that they did. My Democrat GAO superiors a) forced me to retire when I was 49 in 1997, b) always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance, c) delayed my promotions and never promoted me beyond GS-13, and d) forced me to take a $23,699/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980. But even though I was a union member, a) my Democrat IRS superiors never promoted me beyond GS-12, disallowed my education deductions in 1978, and disallowed my travel vouchers in 1974 and b) my Democrat Post Office superiors forced me to resign in 1969 and disallowed my sick leave requests in 1969 and 1968. That was because I was not a Democrat, minority, female, and/or veteran.

— Starting at the Bottom. DD: When I was 22 years old in 1971, I started at the bottom working for the Democrats who ran IRS as a GS-7 (currently $56,409/year). While it took me only 3 years to get to GS-12 Step 1 (currently $100,059/year), it took me 5 1/2 more years to get to GS-12 Step 5 (currently $113,402/year). When I was 31 in 1980, my Democrat GAO superiors forced me to take a $23,699/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars, a downgrade to GS-9 Step 10 (currently $89,703/year) to transfer in. They really wanted me to transfer in as an intern and take a $60,487/year (53%) pay cut in today’s dollars, a downgrade to GS-4 Step 10 (currently $52,915/year). If I had been a Democrat, minority, female, and/or veteran, they would have let me transfer in as a GS-12 Step 10 if not as a GS-13 Step 1 (currently $118,984/year). To outrageously, disgustingly, falsely, and unethically force me to take a downgrade, they ignored/dismissed/belittled the fact a) that I had earned an MBA when I was 27 and passed the CPA examination on my first attempt when I was 30, b) that much of what I had done for IRS was very similar to what I would do for GAO, and c) that GAO audits IRS.

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

Tillman, who founded the libertarian think tank Illinois Policy Institute in 2002, is trying to raise $400 million to build a national museum for entrepreneurs called Hall of Giants to give business founders the respect he says they deserve. But it won’t be in Chicago. DD: My critics/opponents have always rightfully stressed I lack what it takes to be an entrepreneur.

Overhead lines about 200 feet long to the west of my home at 915 Cove Court in Wheaton expose me to weather-caused power, internet, and phone outages big time. The lines are in a utility easement on private property that is full of trees that have not been trimmed for decades and pull the lines down and to the north. I have filed a “tree and vegetation request” with ComEd, and outstandingly, a ComEd employee came out recently to inspect. According to Xfinity and AT&T, they cannot do any trimming until ComEd is done. It would be great if all the lines would be put underground. The last outage caused me big problems because my 17-month-old 24kW Generac failed.

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

NOTUS
— The Trump Administration Keeps Ghosting GAO. In a meeting last month, GAO said it was encountering “significant access issues” with a number of key agencies.

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

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

Overhead lines about 200 feet long to the west of my home at 915 Cove Court in Wheaton expose me to weather-caused power, internet, and phone outages big time. The lines are in a utility easement on private property that is full of trees that have not been trimmed for decades and pull the lines down and to the north.

https://pjmedia.com/ashli-meghan-eskeldson/2026/06/10/the-race-class-and-gend-n4953782
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Over the course of time, historians have tried to downplay conservative doctrines and their influence on cultures. They commonly utilize race, class, and gender history in order to decide which facts to report and which to omit. Why is this ideology flawed? In recent years, some historians have greatly emphasized race, class, and gender in their writings, as opposed to the white Protestant males who are the usual focus of history books. Rather than Thomas Jefferson and Patrick Henry, the emphasis is on the minorities — women, the poor, or people of other races. It is now about their thoughts, feelings, and actions from bygone times. This research venue once seemed fresh and innovative prior to critical race theory being commonly used during the early 2020s. Unfortunately, a few of these historians selectively and creatively interpret these subjects, skewing reality. To them, what matters is “representation,” not necessarily recounting the past accurately. In their eyes, arguments showing favoritism to some people groups, incorrect research, and strange interpretations are justified. With a nose-to-the-grindstone-publishing-academic-papers lifestyle glorifying their own social goals, they use faulty arguments, twisting facts to fit their flawed theories. Over-emphasis on race, class, and gender is just one of the many incorrect ideologies circulating today. One infamous example of racial over-importance was the 1619 Project, which changed the year of our nation’s creation to 1619 instead of 1776 due to enslaved people being imported to America before the Founding Fathers. The forced arguments that estimated our country to have been born in 1619 were later revealed to be completely wrong. The heritage of Indigenous Peoples’ Day and Columbus Day led to a similarly intense argument. Christopher Columbus shaped history, but allegedly mistreated many Indigenous people during his discovery of America. Indigenous Peoples’ Day was made as a replacement, while Columbus, Oh. had been sued to reinstate Columbus Day.)

GAO would not have hired me if I had not passed the CPA examination on my first attempt and earned an MBA. IRS would not have hired me if I had not passed the Federal Service Entrance Examination and earned a bachelor’s degree in business. The Post Office would not have hired me if I had not passed the postal employment test and earned a high school diploma.
