— How do you view federal employees? While I worked for the Democrats who ran the federal government for almost 30 years, my critics/opponents always demonized me, denigrated me, and condemned me as being a non-essential federal employee. My critics/opponents in the Illinois Republican Party, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, Milton Township Republican Organization, TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois, and Illinois Center Right Coalition have always ignored, dismissed, belittled, and/or badmouthed what I did for GAO for almost 18 years, the last 11 years of which at the GS-13 Step 1-10 Levels, currently $117,807-$153,151/year and for IRS for almost 9 years, the last 5 1/2 years at the GS-12 Step 1-5 Levels, currently $99,069-$112,280/year. – Dave Diersen

— How do you view federal employees and federal retirees? According to my critics/opponents, the federal government grossly overpaid me and my Civil Service Retirement System (CSRS) pension is much too generous. 1997, my GAO salary was $153,151/year in today’s dollars. My critics/opponents stress that while my Democrat GAO superiors forced me to retire when I was 49 years old in 1997, I have gotten a $66,780/year in today’s dollars CSRS pension since then, that is, I have suffered only an $86,371/year (56%) loss of income in today’s dollars since then, that is, I have suffered only a $2.4 million loss in income since 1997. In my defense, in 1997, I had 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). – Dave Diersen

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Meritocracy is the foundational element of being the best at anything and everything. So, why would any General or Admiral be opposed to or criticize the restoration of meritocracy in our military, and the accompanying dismantling of the social engineering and Diversity, Equity and Inclusion policies that have plagued our military and crippled its effectiveness for over two decades? Simple – because, after eight years of Obama and four years of Biden, many in the audience got where they are either directly through DEI policies or indirectly by being DEI cheerleaders, even as they knew deep in their hearts such policies were wrong and detrimental to the combat effectiveness of the formations they lead.)

— FRONT PAGE: Northwestern students boycotting antibias training. DD: I worked for the Democrats who ran IRS 1971-1980 and GAO 1980-1997. They forced all their employees, including me, to take such “training.” All that training was designed to promote more hatred against Republicans, and especially against Republicans like me who were conservative, White, male, older, non-veteran, Protestant, German American, and/or had ancestors who had been in America for a long time.
https://www.chicagotribune.com/2025/10/01/northwestern-university-students-boycott-bias-training/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Micol Bez has three weeks to make a choice. The Northwestern University graduate student has spent years studying political epistemology and abolitionism. Now, she is prepared to risk everything — her Ph.D. dissertation, her student status and her visa — in an act of protest she calls “a question of moral clarity.” Bez is part of a group of students boycotting Northwestern’s controversial antibias training video, which critics say conflates criticism of Israel with antisemitism. Those who refuse to complete the online training will be unable to enroll in fall classes, the university said, which could jeopardize their academic standing if they miss the final course registration deadline. “I’m in a profound moral crisis,” said Bez, who is a member of the student group Northwestern Graduate Workers for Palestine. Her refusal to engage in the training, which makes it “impossible to structurally critique Israel, its policies, the apartheid and the ongoing genocide,” she said, is her taking a stand against Northwestern serving “misinformation to thousands of students.”)
— What a federal government shutdown means for Illinois. . .while government offices continue to stay open for their most important operations, so-called nonessential work is suspended, paychecks are not issued and many workers are furloughed until Congress approves a new funding plan. President Donald Trump has amped up the threats this time around, saying he plans to fire employees, rather than just furlough them, a move he says will hurt Democrats. DD: I was a federal worker in Chicago in 1971 and then 1973-1997. In 1971, I was one of the last Republicans who IRS hired. In 1980, I was one of the last Republicans who GAO hired. If I was still a federal worker, to punish Trump, my Democrat superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates would have killed me by now, figuratively, if not literally.

CHICAGO SUN-TIMES
— Illinois federal workers heavily stressed as government shutdown yanks paychecks. For federal workers living paycheck to paycheck, the shutdown could mean choosing between paying for groceries or prescriptions, says National Treasury Employees Union (NTEU) National President Doreen Greenwald. DD: My critics/opponents have always demonized me, denigrated me, and condemned me as being grossly overpaid. While I was a NTEU member 1971-1980, my IRS salary increased from $55,850/year to $112,280/year in today’s dollars. In my defense, during that time, I earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976, I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, and I almost completed the requirements for a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul.

— Are the Rulers of Dearborn ‘American’?
https://townhall.com/columnists/scottmorefield/2025/09/29/are-the-rulers-of-dearborn-american-n2664092
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A video of an Islamic march featuring thousands of black and hijab-clad Muslims chanting “Allah” and a bunch of gibberish through the streets of Dearborn, Michigan that looks like it could have been filmed in any random Middle Eastern Muslim country went viral and drew outrage on X last week. The account that posted it included a call for Tom Homan’s ICE to deal with the problem by going in and deporting illegals. It’s a justifiable sentiment, but good luck with that. Shockingly, almost 60,000 of the approximately 105,000 residents of Dearborn are of Middle Eastern or North African ancestry. Almost all of those are Arab American Muslims. The problem for the poster, and for anyone else who thinks deporting illegals is the solution to what ails us, is that almost all of them are lawful citizens of the United States, a product of Arab immigration that began almost 100 ago and intensified by waves of refugee resettlements from decades of Middle Eastern conflicts caused in no small part, ironically, by American intervention overseas. Given the numbers, it should be no surprise to find the city run by Muslims. As conservative commentator Matt Walsh pointed out in another viral post: “The mayor of Dearborn, Michigan is Abdullah Hammoud. The guy running against him in the mayoral race is Nagi Almudhegi. The mayor’s chief of staff is Zaineb A. Hussein. The police chief is Issa Shahin. He oversees the commander of the patrol division, Madou Bazzi. The public health director is Ali Abazeed. Don’t forget city council members Kamal Alsawafy and Mustapha Hammoud.” If you are one of the tens of thousands of non-Muslim residents left in the city, you will still be greeted at 6 am in the morning and four other times throughout the day by the Muslim call to prayer broadcast on loudspeaker. For now at least you can complain, like this lady did, but the Muslim-run city council will tell you to pound sand. If you don’t like that a street was renamed after a Hezbollah terrorist, you will not only be told to pound sand, you will be called an Islamaphobe and told you aren’t welcome in the city you grew up in. Yes, technically the rulers of Dearborn are ‘American.’ They and most of their co-religionist voters have the citizenship and naturalization papers saying so, and thus are just as much a citizen of this country as you or me. But is this what the founders envisioned for the country they birthed through blood almost 250 years ago? If Thomas Jefferson could have looked into the future and seen Arabic flags and Islamic chants and hijab-clad women marching through an American street, would he have set things up differently? Trying to normalize a situation ordinary people rightly are disgusted by, ‘Republican’ pollster Frank Luntz embarrassingly quoted part of a letter penned by George Washington as proof that the founders wanted Muslims to, according to Luntz, “find welcome in America.” “If they are good workmen, they may be of Asia, Africa, or Europe,” Washington wrote. “They may be Mohammedans, Jews, or Christians of any sect, or they may be Atheists.” Luntz’s contention was easily ripped to shreds by anyone who bothered to post the entire letter, which was simply correspondence from Washington to a friend in Baltimore asking him to facilitate the purchase of some skilled labor that was purportedly on a ship headed there. Indeed, the idea that our founders – the ones who in 1790 when immigration policy was first discussed limited naturalization to only “free white persons” of “good moral character” who had lived in America for at least two years – would applaud the streets of Dearborn being overrun with chanting Muslims carrying Arabic flags is laughable on its face. On the contrary, if the dead could move they would be turning over in their graves. Still, the founders did recognize the need for immigration, and since 1790 there has been plenty of it. Interestingly, the massive waves from Europe that happened in the 1840s and the 1880s-1920s were opposed by nativists who argued that the Irish, the Germans, the Poles, and the Italians were going to ruin the country. In hindsight, it wasn’t really much of a concern though, because those people had enough in common with the original Anglo-Saxon stock to completely assimilate in a generation or two at most, which is exactly what happened. (We fought against Germany in two world wars, but have you heard anyone complain about ‘those damned Germans’ lately?) Leftists like to cite opposition to these European waves as evidence that conservatives are stupid to oppose the current non-white immigration from Third World hellholes we’re experiencing today, but, as Dearborn has proven, it’s apples and oranges. Extrapolate that over the next few decades at the immigration rate Democrats would have us endure and you’ll get hundreds if not thousands of places just like Dearborn, Michigan or Minneapolis, Minnesota, where Somalis have their own country within a country. The Great Replacement Theory isn’t just a theory, it’s a fact. Leftists hate white people and want them to become a minority in every place they are currently a majority. You may think race doesn’t or shouldn’t matter at all, but they certainly think it does. Now, I’m not in any way arguing for a white nationalist state or the removal or persecution of legal minorities. America should always include minority populations who assimilate, love this country, and want to contribute to its success. However, there is something to be said for an immigration policy, one similar to the one that helped America prosper right up to 1965, that keeps whites from becoming a minority in the country their ancestors founded. An immigration and naturalization policy that allowed Dearborn, Michigan to become what it is now is inherently flawed and should be scrapped and reworked from the ground up. The future of Western Civilization, the vehicle that gave the world most of the progress, freedom, and standard of living it enjoys today, absolutely depends on it.)

— Bid to atone for slavery’s sins ignites racially charged City Council clash. A resolution offering an apology to Black Chicagoans for the scourge of slavery passes overwhelmingly but sparks outrage when four Council members vote against the symbolic move.
https://chicago.suntimes.com/politics/2025/09/26/chicago-trump-slavery-apology-alderpeople-lamont-robinson-nick-sposato-city-council
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Four alderpersons voted against a resolution offering Black Chicagoans an apology for America’s enslavement of their ancestors, producing a racially charged clash within the City Council and a final roll call that one supporter called “appalling.” Alds. Raymond Lopez (15th), Nick Sposato (38th), Anthony Napolitano (41st) and James Gardiner (45th) sparked outrage from some of their colleagues for refusing to endorse the resolution, which ultimately passed. The measure sponsored by Ald. Lamont Robinson (4th) issued a formal apology from the City Council “to the Black citizens of Chicago for the historical injustices of slavery, segregation, systemic racism, and the policies that have perpetuated racial inequality.” It overwhelmingly passed 43-4 but not without fireworks at a marathon City Council meeting Thursday. “Shame on you!,” Robinson shouted after Lopez, Sposato, and Napolitano announced they would vote against the resolution. “You have to be able to share with your constituents, your Black constituents — in all damn 50 wards — why you would say no to this resolution. Shame on you!” Robinson said. While the City Council is no stranger to racially charged debates on how to address the city’s long, continued history of segregation and inequity, the “no” votes against the symbolic resolution came as a shock to some of the Council’s most level-headed members. “I was hoping this would be a unanimous one — of all the things we can unanimously support,” said Ald. Maria Hadden (49th), who is Black. “This is a surprising, shocking, appalling piece.” The debate played out against a national backdrop of the Trump administration’s crusade against diversity goals in government and businesses and its efforts to sanitize how Americans look back on the evils of slavery. This month, President Donald Trump ordered the National Park Service to remove from a Georgia historic site an iconic 1863 photograph titled “The Scourged Back” of a formerly enslaved man bearing the scars of past whippings on his back. Gardiner, a Northwest Side alderperson, didn’t explain his no vote. In a brief comment, Napolitano said he voted no because there has been “just as much harm done” to this city “over the last couple of years” as in the past. Sposato, a supporter of Trump, said he would not take responsibility for sins of the past. “There’s a lot of blame to go around, but certainly not the city of Chicago, certainly not my family,” Sposato said. “I apologize to absolutely nobody. I want my name off there. I do not want to be associated with this.” Lopez, a Southwest Side alderperson, said he wouldn’t endorse the resolution because Chicago’s “own economy was not slave driven.” Lopez noted that the city became a haven for freed men and women escaping southern slavery. Half a million people came to Chicago as part of the Great Migration. Lopez said the City Council should focus instead on how to correct current-day injustices “as opposed to constantly looking backwards.” “If we want to talk about the injustices to the Black community, I want to talk about where we have failed. We don’t have to look that far back,” Lopez said. Hadden acknowledged Lopez’s point that the city “didn’t directly deal in enslaved people,” but she rebutted that “the money that built this city and controlled the power did.” She further argued that Lopez and Sposato’s arguments against the resolution were “emblematic of some of the worst behavior that we’re seeing coming out of DC.” “Those who would accuse us of going backwards by recognizing fact and truth, I challenge that sentiment. We’re not the ones going backwards,” Hadden said. “Recognition and apology is part of repair… which are necessary to moving forward.” The resolution notes that slavery thrived in the Midwest after French explorers introduced it to the region in the mid-1700s. Even after Illinois was deemed a “free” state in 1818, state laws in place through the Civil War “subjected free Black residents to oppressive restrictions, including the denial of voting rights.” It goes on to state that following slavery’s abolition in 1865, Black Chicagoans continued to face racial discrimination through redlining, segregation, housing discrimination and other systemic inequities “which persist today.” Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson last year issued a formal apology from the city as a whole to Black Chicagoans through an executive order when he created a task force to study possible economic reparations for Black residents. Evanston, the city’s neighbor to the north, approved the country’s first reparations program for Black residents years ago.)

GAO ( https://gopillinois.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/DiersenGAOFifthAmendedComplaint.pdf ) gave the Democrats who run the federal government the power to force their employees to retire, that is, the power to fire their employees, if they fight their political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, religious discrimination, and/or national origin discrimination like I did. Of course, my Democrat GAO. IRS, and Post Office superiors hinted/implied that they wasted my career, took adverse actions against me, and forced me to retire “for cause.” My Democrat GAO superiors a) always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance, 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, and d) forced me to take a $23,472/year (21%) pay cut to transfer from IRS in 1980. My Democrat IRS superiors never promoted me beyond GS-12, disallowed my education deductions in 1978, and disallowed my travel vouchers in 1974. My Democrat Post Office superiors forced me to resign in 1969 and disallowed my sick leave requests in 1969 and 1968.

DUCKWORTH
— Democrat leaders ever-increasingly promote student loans. If I had gotten a student loan instead of working my way through college, my GPA would have been higher. That would have helped me get a better paying job when I graduated debt-free in 1970. I did not get a job that required a bachelor’s degree until 1971 and it paid only $55,850/year in today’s dollars. But my salary increased to $68,315/year, $82,655/year, and $99,069/year in today’s dollars when I got promoted in 1972, 1973, and 1974. That enabled me to a) buy a new 1972 Corvette in 1971, b) pay for graduate evening courses starting in 1972, c) buy a new town home in University Park in 1972, d) buy condos in downtown Chicago in 1974 and 1976, and e) get married and buy a home in Wheaton and buy two new cars in 1978.

— No wonder there is fear of a population crisis — young men and women are wildly out of sync on family values. What made you “marriage material?” When I got married when I was 29 years old in 1978, a) I was earning $108,978/year in today’s dollars working for IRS, b) I had earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976, c) I was taking graduate evening accounting courses at DePaul, d) I owned a one bedroom condo in the Outer Drive East building, e) I owned and rented out a town home in University Park, and f) I owned a 1972 Corvette and a 1962 Chevrolet Bel Air.

BIZ PC REVIEW
— Hyundai plant raid was a part of something much worse. Pooler today, your municipality tomorrow?
https://www.bizpacreview.com/2025/09/09/hyundai-plant-raid-was-a-part-of-something-much-worse-1583446/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A story published by the Wall Street Journal on Sunday revealed how the illegals were, in fact, part of a quickly growing community of South Koreans who’ve been taking over the Georgia suburb of Pooler. “The population shot up 22% between just 2020 and 2024, according to census estimates, to around 31,000,” the Journal noted. “Demographic data lags behind, but community leaders estimate half of that growth has come from Koreans. “Suddenly, the single Korean restaurant in town had to compete with around half a dozen others. The newly opened Costco, locals said, started carrying Kimchi, dried seaweed, and mandu dumplings. New homes sprang up by the dozens, and Korean families moved into planned neighborhoods with streets named Blue Moon Crossing and Harvest Hill,” the Journal’s reporting continued. Here’s the key: “Many of the newcomers worked at the factory.” As in the same factory where hundreds of Korean immigrants were found to have immigration violations last Friday, to the point that most of them were outright illegal aliens. Days later, on Sunday, the South Korean government announced it’d be repatriating most of the factory workers. Not every South Korean in the community is an illegal alien. The Journal noted that the legal ones were not happy with the illegal workers for bringing undue scrutiny on them. “We were doing great until that incident happened,” citizen Robin Kim said. “Now, there’s a risk that people will make assumptions or generalize unfairly.” . . . Zeigler told the Journal that 65 union members were hired by the factory for some brief work and then let go several months ago, only to be permanently replaced by the South Koreans. “We went out there and did a great job, no fatalities, no injuries, and then we just got replaced by the undocumented workers,” he said. “It was a kick in the knee.” Tori Branum, who’s reportedly running in a Republican primary for a Georgia congressional seat, questions the $5.5 billion manufacturing deal with Hyundai that Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp signed in 2022. The deal purported to give Hyundai $2 million in tax breaks in exchange for an economic boost to Georgia’s Savannah region. “We gave tax cuts for jobs for Georgians that never happened,” she said. Critics say all this points to a system that is being unfairly used to benefit foreigners at the expense of American citizens. “Americans are being taxed to subsidize foreigners from all over the world moving directly into their own neighborhoods to compete for jobs with their children and grandchildren,” one critic tweeted. “Our ancestors fought a revolution over less.” “Americans have just been subsidizing a new foreign-born enclave in a red state, led by a foreign corporation and American politicians,” another critic accurately pointed out.)

POLITICO
— Judge blocks Trump’s bid to fire Lisa Cook from Federal Reserve board. Federal law gives Trump the power to fire members of the Federal Reserve Board of Governors “for cause,” which typically means serious misconduct or malfeasance on the job. The judges and justices in Diersen v. GAO ( https://gopillinois.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/DiersenGAOFifthAmendedComplaint.pdf ) gave the Democrats who run the federal government the power to force their employees to retire, that is, the power to fire their employees, if they fight their political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, religious discrimination, and/or national origin discrimination like I did. Of course, my Democrat GAO. IRS, and Post Office superiors hinted/implied that they wasted my career, took adverse actions against me, and forced me to retire “for cause.” My Democrat GAO superiors a) always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance, 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, and d) forced me to take a $23,472/year (21%) pay cut to transfer from IRS in 1980. My Democrat IRS superiors never promoted me beyond GS-12, disallowed my education deductions in 1978, and disallowed my travel vouchers in 1974. My Democrat Post Office superiors forced me to resign in 1969 and disallowed my sick leave requests in 1969 and 1968.

— Who do your critics/opponents protect? My critics/opponents protect a) liberals and moderates from conservatives, b) Democrats and RINOs from Republicans, c) minorities from Whites, d) women from men, e) younger people from older people, f) LGBTQers from heterosexuals, g) those who have less money from those who have more money, h) veterans from non-veterans, i) non-Protestants from Protestants, j) non-German Americans from German Americans, and/or k) those whose ancestors have not been in America for a long from those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time. That is, my critics/opponents are Democrats and RINOs. – Dave Diersen

— Hegseth praises Army for dumping leadership promotion program that was DEI-driven. All my coworkers who my Democrat superiors in the federal government promoted over me were Democrats a) who were minority, female, younger than me, veteran, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or had ancestors who had not been in America for a long time and/or b) who had less work experience than I had, had less education than I had, had no professional certifications or fewer than I had, and/or had no professional license like the one I had.

— Trump admin urges Supreme Court to allow president to fire Federal Trade Commission member. GAO works for Congress. My Democrat GAO superiors overtly acted like they had authority, permission, if not direction from Congress to waste my career, to take adverse actions against me, and to get rid of me. They 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 GS-13. They kept me off audits of IRS for all but 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for GAO. They forced me to take a $23,472 (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS in 1980.

NEW YORK TIMES
— When you were in high school, were you a high-achiever? Were you college material? My critics/opponents have always stressed that I was not. They stress that my ACT score was only 24, that I only just barely made it into the upper 20% of my class, and that I washed dishes during my junior and senior years and the summer in between. They stress that I could not run because I had a bone disease, that my eyesight could not be corrected to 20/20, and that I had partial red/green color blindness. No one thought that I would a) earn a bachelor’s degree when I was 21, b) earn master’s degrees when I was 27, 31, and 48, c) earn professional certifications when I was 30, 32, 41, 45, 47, and 48, and d) earn a professional license when I was 32.

NEW YORK SUN
— Success of Trump’s Agenda Hinges on Whether Unelected Leftist Judges Can Be Stopped From Hijacking the Constitution. As the president’s second term unfolds, many of the Democrats’ cherished totems are either comatose or in their death throes. All the judges and justices in Diersen v. GAO promoted Affirmative Action and DEI, that is, they promoted race and gender based preference giving, patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, religious discrimination, and national origin discrimination. That is why they ruled in GAO’s favor.

— Hegseth shuts down NFL-style ‘crown jewel’ of Army’s merit-based talent programs. The NFL Combine-style programs for evaluating prospective Army commanders started during President Donald Trump’s first term. Starting when I was 25 years old in 1974, because my Democrat IRS superiors had not promoted me to GS-13, currently $117,807/year, they used up-or-out to get rid of me. They would not have done that if I had been a Democrat, minority, female, or veteran. I finally did make GS-13 when I was 38 in 1986, but I would not have if I had not a) earned an MBA in 1976, b) passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, c) transferred to GAO and earned a master’s degree in accounting in 1980, and d) passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt and became a licensed CPA in 1981. I should write about that.

(FROM THE ARTICLE: CAP was a trial for officers seeking to command battalions and brigades, demanding roles that make or break an officer’s career. The cancellation comes as part of a Pentagon review of officer personnel processes ranging from evaluations to promotions and command selection, among other career milestones. . .Participants would complete a physical fitness test, have their body fat measured, undergo a psychological evaluation, receive leadership evaluations from former peers and subordinates, and complete verbal and written communication assessments. An interview panel would anonymously judge the candidate’s communication skills based on their performance in an interview setting. Officers deemed “ready” by the panel would then be ranked for command opportunities based on their CAP performance and a review of their personnel file. . .The program was designed to spot potentially overlooked talent while also preventing toxic and abusive leaders from assuming positions of power.)
