Trump is conservative, Republican, White, male, older, non-veteran, Protestant, German American, and his ancestors have been in America for a long time.

Production challenges remain, with high costs and manufacturing difficulties still to overcome before the technology can be widely adopted.)

Overall Ford brand sales slipped 1.2%, highlighting growing consumer interest in EVs as traditional models like the Explorer and Expedition also saw sales declines.)

Under Pritzker, the more of the following that you are, the bleaker that your future is: heterosexual, conservative, Republican, American, White, male, older, Protestant, German American, and/or if your ancestors have been in America for a long time.

— What if anti-conservative leaders had not had their operatives and their dupes destroy TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois and the Illinois Center Right Coalition (ICRC)? Under my chairmanship, TAPROOT would still be holding monthly breakfast meetings, an August picnic, and a December Christmas party. Speakers at those events would still be advocating conservative principles. They would still be advocating the Republican Party platform including its personal responsibility, traditional marriage and family, right to life, immigration, illegal drugs, Second Amendment, and equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) planks. I should write about those anti-conservative leaders who had their operatives and their dupes destroy TAPROOT and ICRC. I would focus on those who reject the equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) plank in the Republican Party platform. I would focus on those who have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me lately. – Dave Diersen

I should write about my critics/opponents. I would focus on those who have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me lately. According to them, I owe all my successes in life to my benefitting from discrimination against minorities and females. But neither of my parents attended college. My father was only the first of my ancestors to earn a high school diploma. My father never earned more than $50,000/year in today’s dollars. He died suddenly when he was 47 and I was 21. My mother never attended high school. I had to work my way through college. Further, virtually all federal employees are Democrats. While I worked for the Democrats who ran the federal government for almost 30 years, they gave tremendous preference to their Democrat employees who were minority and/or female. All my coworkers who they promoted over me were Democrats and many if not most of them were minority and/or female. They all 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. – Dave Diersen

They have always stressed that if I had not avoided the draft, I would not have been able to a) buy new cars in 1967, 1968, 1971, 1973, 1978, etc., b) buy real estate in 1972, 1974, 1976, and 1978, c) earn a bachelor’s degree in 1970 and master’s degrees in 1976 and 1980, d) pass the CPA examination in 1979 and the Certified Internal Auditor examination in 1981, e) become a licensed CPA in 1981, or f) get married in 1978.

— How have Democrats used disparate impact against you? According to Democrats, a test is discriminatory if Whites and men do better on it than Blacks, Hispanics, and females do. Because Whites and men do better on the CPA examination than Blacks, Hispanics, and females, my Democrat and GAO superiors stopped requiring passing the CPA examination to get hired and promoted. That rendered worthless my passing the CPA examination on my first attempt when I was 30 years old in 1979. To hire and promote Democrats who were Black, Hispanic, and female, they also stopped requiring other qualifications. That rendered worthless my earning an MBA in business when I was 27, my earning a master’s degree in accounting when I was 31, my passing the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt and becoming a licensed CPA when I was 32, my earning four more job-related professional certifications when I was 41, 45, 47, and 48, and my earning a master’s degree in finance when I was 48. I should write about the aforesaid. It is called political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination. – Dave Diersen

— Why do fewer Democrat Blacks, Hispanics, and females take the CPA examination than Republican White males? Why do fewer Democrat Blacks, Hispanics, and females pass the examination on their first attempt than Republican White males? According to Democrats, it is because Republicans discriminate against Democrat Blacks, Hispanics, and females. That is why Democrats make Republican White males pay the price of Affirmative Action and DEI. – Dave Diersen

My critics/opponents are liberal/moderate, minority, female, younger, veteran, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or have ancestors who have not been in America for a long time. My critics/opponents promote a) dependency on government and charity, b) LGBTQ, c) abortion, d) mass/illegal immigration, e) booze, gambling, pot, prostitution, and other vices, f) diminishment of Second Amendment rights, and g) Affirmative Action and DEI, that is, race and gender based preference giving, patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, religious discrimination, and national origin discrimination. I should write 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 and who have had their operatives and their dupes take the most/biggest adverse actions against me lately. – Dave Diersen

— President Trump Signs Three Really Good Executive Orders on Civil Rights. The first targets the “disparate impact” approach to civil-rights enforcement. According to Democrats, a test is discriminatory if Whites and men do better on it than Blacks, Hispanics, and women.

That rendered worthless my passing the CPA examination on my first attempt when I was 30 years old in 1979.

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Trump said on Wednesday he doesn’t want Canadian cars and claimed Canada would “cease to exist” without the United States — remarks that extend his sharp criticism of the country just days before Canadians head to the polls on Monday. “We don’t really want Canada to make cars for us, to put it bluntly. We want to make our own cars,” Trump said. Trump also suggested that he might increase import taxes on cars from Canada. “So when I put tariffs on Canada, they’re paying 25%, but that could go up in terms of cars. When we put tariffs on, all we’re doing is we’re saying, ‘We don’t want your cars, in all due respect.”)

FORTUNE
— Not all degrees are a waste of time and money: These majors will lead to six figure salaries after college. If you could do it over again, would you have had the same major? I would have majored in accounting instead of management. I did not take and pass the CPA examination on my first attempt until I was 30 years old in 1979. By then, the accounting profession considered me to be far too old to have a successful career in accounting. The profession would not have done that if I had been a minority, female, and/or veteran. It is called reverse discrimination and age discrimination.

— Trump administration is resuming collections from student loan borrowers in default. If you had to work your way through college, how would your life have been different if you had not had to do that? My high school, undergraduate, and graduate GPAs would have been higher. Instead of studying, I spent far too many hours washing dishes while I was a Crete-Monee student 1964-1966. My ACT score was only 24. I only just barely made it into the upper 20% of my high school class. Instead of studying, I spent far too many hours a) delivering mail while I was a UIC and NIU student 1966-1969, b) selling tires, automotive services, and major appliances while I was a UIC student in 1971, c) pumping gasoline while I was a Loyola student in 1972, d) collecting delinquent taxes while I was a Loyola and DePaul student 1972-1980, and e) auditing federal agencies while I was a DePaul student in 1980 and an IIT student 1992-1997. Further, my 1979 CPA examination scores would have been higher if I had studied instead of collected delinquent federal taxes. Further, my 1981 Certified Internal Auditor examination scores would have been higher if I had studied instead of audited federal agencies.

FROM ILLINOIS CENTER-RIGHT SOURCES

GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— Which offices will be on the November 3, 2026 ballot in your precinct? Do you anticipate/expect helping elect candidates for those offices? What discourages you from doing that? For me, it includes far too many Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct since 2000 who have blamed me and blamed my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters for their losses and/or near losses. I should write about those candidates and their major donors, political consultants, fundraisers, pollsters, campaign managers, campaign staff members, and campaign volunteers. Most commonly, they have hinted/implied/argued/shouted that I painted them as being more conservative than they wanted to be painted and that caused them to lose. I would focus on the aforesaid candidates who rejected the most planks in the Republican Party platform. I have long since stopped helping elect candidates in nonpartisan elections and  Republican primary elections a) because far too many of those candidates who lost those elections and primaries blamed me and blamed my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters for their defeats and b) far too many of those candidates who won Republican primaries buy lost general elections blamed their defeats on my support for their opponents in the primaries. – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com
— What are the following doing to elect Republicans on November 3, 2026: the leaders of a) the Illinois Republican Party, b) your Republican county party organization, and c) your Republican township party organization? They need to defend and advance the Republican Party platform, that is, they need to defend and advance conservative principles. – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com
— What do you stress to defend and advance conservative principles? I stress the successes that I have had because I have always followed conservative principles. I earned a bachelor’s degree when I was 21. I earned master’s degrees when I was 27, 31, and 47. I earned professional certifications when I was 30, 32, 41, 45, 47, and 48. I earned a professional license when I was 32. I bought new cars when I was 17, 19, 20, 23, 25, 29, etc. I bought real estate when I was 24, 25, 27, 29, 35, etc. I got married when I was 29.  I was able to do the aforesaid notwithstanding my parents never having attended college, my father having been only the first of my ancestors to earn a high school diploma, my mother never having attended high school, and my having to work my way through college. – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com
— What do you promote that your critics/opponents use against you? My critics/opponents use my promoting the Republican Party platform, that is, my promoting conservative principles. They especially use my promoting the platform’s personal responsibility, traditional marriage and family, right to life, immigration, illegal drugs, Second Amendment, and equal opportunity (no race of gender based preference giving) planks. – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com
— What do your critics/opponents do? My critics/opponents destroy those like me who they cannot manipulate or dominate, who refuse to glorify and praise them, who refuse to pander to them, who refuse to serve as one of their operatives or dupes, who refuse to cover up their wrong doing, and/or who refuse to give them money. I should write about my critics/opponents and the many big adverse actions that they have taken against me. – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com
—  What jobs have you had? According to my critics/opponents, all the jobs that I had were bad jobs that they would never stoop to take and that should have been given to minorities, females, younger people, and veterans. I did yard work 1962-1964, washed dishes 1964-1966, cleaned golf shoes, chipped slag, and pumped gasoline in 1966, delivered mail 1966-1969, worked on an automotive assembly line in 1970, sold tires, automotive services, and major appliances 1970-1971, pumped gasoline 1971-1972, collected delinquent taxes 1971-1980, and audited federal agencies 1980-1997. – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com
— What are your demographics? My critics/opponents look down on, if not despise, if not hate those who share my demographics. I am conservative, Republican, White, male, older (born in 1948), non-poor, non-veteran, Protestant, German American, and my ancestors have been in America since 1844. Further, I was a Crete resident 1948-1972 and I have been a Wheaton resident since 1978. Further, I was a federal employee for almost 30 years, including almost 9 years working for IRS, and I have been a federal retiree for almost 28 years. – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com
— How envious were your coworkers? My Democrat superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates were full of envy. They always painted themselves as being financially disadvantaged. They decried my earning a bachelor’s degree when I was 21, my earning master’s degrees when I was 27, 31, and 47, my earning professional certifications when I was 30, 32, 41, 45, 47, and 48, my earning a professional license when I was 32, my buying new cars when I was 17, 19, 20, 23, 25, 29, etc., my buying real estate when I was 24, 25, 27, 29, 35, etc., my getting married when I was 29, etc. They hinted/implied/argued/shouted that I would never have been able to do the aforesaid a) if I had not avoided the draft and b) if my wife and I had children. – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com
— What Caste were you born into? My critics/opponents stress a) that my parents were Protestant and German American, b) that neither of my parents attended college, c) that my father was only the first of my ancestors to earn a high school diploma, d) that he never earned more than $50,000/year in today’s dollars, e) that my mother never attended high school, f) that I had to work my way through college, g) that none of my degrees are from Ivy League universities, h) that I was a federal employee for almost 30 years, i) that I have been a federal retiree for almost 28 years, and j) that I never earned more than $153,151/year in today’s dollars. – Dave Diersen

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Many schools (including almost all “elite” universities) view their maintenance of Kendian “discrimination for the right reasons” programs in admissions, hiring, promotions, tenure, and funding to be moral imperatives, and thus either are flatly refusing to abide by the Trump administration’s demands, and/or are continuing their discriminatory programs sub rosa.)

IIT admitted me in 1992, DePaul in 1976, Loyola in 1972, NIU in 1969, and UIC in 1966. But they would have admitted international students instead of me if they could have.

If they did, we wouldn’t be a sanctuary state any more,” Leigh said. . .Chicago Flips Red vice president Danielle Carter-Walters said crimes involving noncitizen migrants were not reported. “They were not recording anything that they did illegally.

The justices and judges in Diersen v GAO ( https://gopillinois.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/DiersenGAOFifthAmendedComplaint.pdf ) ruled that federal agencies can force their employees to retire, that is, they can fire their employees, a) because they are active members in class action lawsuits that charge them with reverse discrimination, age discrimination, or retaliation, b) because they oppose political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, religious discrimination, or national origin discrimination, and/or c) because they are conservative, Republican, White, male, older, non-veteran, Protestant, German American, and/or have ancestors who have been in America for a long time.

WHITE HOUSE
— Extension of Hiring Freeze. All during the almost 18 years that I worked for the Democrats who ran GAO, the agency was almost always under Gingrich-caused hiring freezes and/or promotion freezes. My Democrat GAO superiors punished me severely because of that. They forced me to take a $23,472/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS. They delayed my promotions and never promoted me beyond GS-13. They always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay for performance purposes. They forced me to retire when I was 49 years old. They flushed down their toilets my three job-related master’s degrees, my six job-related professional certifications, and my job-related professional license. What does Gingrich have to say about that? If Gingrich had reformed GAO instead of gutting it, there would be no need for DOGE.

— What harmed your career the most? For me, first, it was my Firestone Store manager’s disapproval of my demographics. Firestone Store’s District Office hired me and assigned me to his store in 1970. He never would have hired me. He vehemently disapproved of my avoiding the Vietnam War draft. Then it was Oldsmobile’s withdrawing its job offer because it had just agreed to stop hiring Whites to settle an EEOC complaint in 1971. That ended my career in automotive industry. My Firestone Store manager rudely fired me because I accepted that offer. I accepted IRS’s job offer in 1971 because I had to have a job. Then it was my Democrat IRS superiors’ success in getting rid of the manager who had promoted me in 1972, 1973, and 1974. Then it was my Democrat GAO superiors’ success in getting rid of the manager who had arranged for my transfer from IRS in 1980. My Democrat IRS and GAO superiors got rid of the aforesaid managers because they had advanced me instead of advancing my Democrat coworkers who were minority, female, younger, and/or veteran. But then, more significantly, it was my opposing my Democrat IRS and GAO superiors’ race and gender based preference giving, their political affiliation discrimination, their reverse discrimination, their age discrimination, their religious discrimination, and their national origin discrimination. But then, even more significantly, it was my becoming an active member in a class action lawsuit that charged my GAO superiors with reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation in 1988. – Dave Diersen

— What helped your career the most? For me, it was my a) earning an MBA from Loyola in 1976, b) my passing the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, c) my earning a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980, d) my passing the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981, e) my becoming a licensed CPA in 1981, f) my earning more professional certifications in 1990, 1994, 1996, and 1997, and g) my earning a master’s degree in finance in 1997. If I had not done the aforesaid, a) IRS would not have promoted me in 1972, 1973, and 1974 and b) GAO would not have hired me in 1980, promoted me in 1986, or let me work as long as it did. – Dave Diersen

— Democrats invaded, infested, and conquered DuPage County to take advantage of the prosperity and safety that Republicans created there.  Now they want to obliterate the county’s history. Under the Democrats, poverty and crime will ever-increasingly increase in DuPage County. Under the Democrats, there will be more and more a) welfare, b) LGBTQ, c) abortion, d) mass/illegal immigration, e) booze, gambling, pot, prostitution, and other vices, f) diminishment of Second Amendment rights, and g) Affirmative Action and DEI, that is, race and gender based preference giving, patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, religious discrimination, and national origin discrimination. DuPage County residents will have to spend more and more and more money on protecting their personal safety. They will have to avoid leaving their residences at night. They will need to know where the “no go” zones are and to avoid them. More and more and more employers will not hire Republicans and they will get rid of their Republican employees. More and more and more organizations will not admit Republican members and they will get rid of their Republican members. And even worse things. How many voted for Harris in your precinct? 478 did in my precinct.

JOURNAL COURIER
— Getting the IRS on the phone is more difficult this tax filing season. Have you ever phoned IRS with a tax question? If you did during the 1974 filing season, the IRS employee who answered your call was one of my subordinates. Back then, as a 25-year-old GS-11 (currently $82,655/year) IRS Revenue Officer, I supervised all of the IRS employees, which included a rotating staff of about 90 IRS Revenue Agent trainees, in IRS’s new downtown Chicago office who answered taxpayer questions using IRS’s new tollfree CentiPhone system. Because of my job performance, the IRS manager who had given me that developmental opportunity and who had promoted me in 1972 and 1973 promoted me to GS-12 (currently $99,069/year) in 1974.)

WASHINGTON POST
— Trump plan would slash the State Department budget by nearly half. Gingrich slashed GAO’s budget by 15 percent in 1996 and 10 percent in 1997. My Democrat GAO superiors used that to force me to retire in 1997 when I was 49 years old. If Gingrich had reformed GAO instead of gutting it, there would be no need for DOGE.

— Were your parents wealthy? If they were not, how would your life have been different if they had been wealthy? My parents were not wealthy. because of that, I had to work my way through college.  Because of that and because my employers paid none of my education expenses or paid just token amounts, my GPA suffered. Nevertheless, I a) earned a bachelor’s degree from NIU when I was 21, b) earned an MBA from Loyola when I was 27, c) passed the CPA examination on my first attempt when I was 30, d) earned a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul when I was 31, e) passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt when I was 32, f) became a licensed CPA when I was 32, and g) earned a master’s degree in finance when I was 48.

WALL STREET JOURNAL
— Compared to your peers, how much money are you saving/did you save for your retirement? Ever since my wife and I got married in 1978, we always saved as much as we could for our retirement. My critics/opponents are ever-increasingly furious about that. We were able to save more for our retirement because we gave up trying to have children, we did not adopt, and we did not become foster parents. According to my critics/opponents, if we had children, a) I would not have been able to pass the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, earn a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980, pass the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981, or become a licensed CPA in 1981 and b) my wife would not have been able to earn a bachelor’s degree in finance from DePaul in 1986.

FORBES
— My critics/opponents a) attribute their successes to meritocracy and b) attribute my successes to my benefitting from discrimination against those who share their demographics. My critics/opponents are liberal/moderate, minority, female, younger, veteran, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or have ancestors who have not been in America for a long time. My critics/opponents promote a) dependency on government and charity, b) LGBTQ, c) abortion, d) mass/illegal immigration, e) booze, gambling, pot, prostitution, and other vices, f) diminishment of Second Amendment rights, and g) Affirmative Action and DEI, that is, race and gender based preference giving, patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, religious discrimination, and national origin discrimination. I should write 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 and who have had their operatives and their dupes take the most/biggest adverse actions against me lately.
