CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— Detained Korean Hyundai workers had special skills. What special skills do/did you have? GAO audits IRS. I had a special skill to audit IRS’s Collection Division. I had worked for IRS’s Collection Division for almost 9 years, the last 5 1/2 years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 Levels, currently $99,069-$112,280/year. I had passed the CPA and Certified Internal Auditor examinations on my first attempt. I had earned master’s degrees in business, accounting, and finance. I transferred from IRS to GAO when I was 31 in 1980. But my Democrat GAO superiors kept me off audits of IRS 1980-1985 and then 1989 until they forced me to retire in 1997. While they did let me work on audits of IRS 1986-1988, they were audits of IRS’s Criminal Investigation Division. Democrat IRS and GAO leaders do not want Republicans to audit IRS. Further, I had a special skill to audit federal financial industry regulators. I had worked for GAO on audits of federal financial industry regulators for 8 years 1990-1997 at the GS-13 Step 3-10 Levels, currently $125,661-$153,151/year. I had earned a master’s degree in financial markets and trading from IIT. Democrat federal financial industry leaders and GAO leaders do not want Republicans to audit federal financial industry regulators. My Democrat GAO superiors flushed down their toilets my aforesaid special skills when they forced me to retire when I was 49 in 1997.

POLITICO ILLINOIS
— IT’S ON — AGAIN: Watch for petitions on the street for former state Sen. Darren Bailey as he gets closer to announcing a second run for governor, setting the stage for a potential rematch with Democratic Gov. JB Pritzker in 2026. Joining him on the GOP ticket will be Cook County Republican Chair Aaron Del Mar. It’s a strategic pivot for Bailey, who struggled to gain traction in the Chicago suburbs during his 2022 campaign. By aligning with Del Mar, a prominent figure in northern Illinois GOP circles, Bailey hopes to broaden his appeal and galvanize support beyond his downstate base. Bailey is already positioning himself around kitchen-table issues like public safety, property taxes and rising costs, he told KSDK’s Mark Maxwell in a recent interview. The GOP primary would pit Bailey — the most recognizable contender in the field — against a handful of Republicans who have already announced, including policy wonk Ted Dabrowski and DuPage County Sheriff James Mendrick.

WASHINGTON POST
— Chief justice allows Trump to fire a Democratic FTC commissioner for now. The ruling comes after an appeals court last week found that Rebecca Slaughter could be reinstated because the president had fired her “without cause.” Of course, in Diersen v. GAO ( https://gopillinois.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/DiersenGAOFifthAmendedComplaint.pdf ), my Democrat GAO superiors argued that they had done nothing to force me to retire. But they had told me that if I did not retire, they would demote me, give me adverse transfers, and take even bigger adverse actions against me. Previously, they had 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 had worked for GAO, and d) forced me to take a $23,472/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS in 1980. They forced me to retire a) because I was an active member in a class action lawsuit that charged them with reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation and b) because my Black CPA subordinate talked and acted like he would leave GAO if GAO did not get rid of me. He had less work experience than I had. He had less education than I had. He had one professional certification while I had six. I was not a licensed CPA like I was. They gave him my job and my preferred corner office.

— Geneva group’s plan to host January 6 organizer draws pickets, protests. Politics is nasty/vicious. Ever-increasingly, my anti-conservative critics/opponents in the Milton Township Republican Organization, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Illinois Republican Party hinted/implied/argued/shouted that Illinois Center Right Coalition (ICRC) and TAPROOT (Traditions And Principles Republicans Often Overlook Today) were hate groups. They ever-increasingly hinted/implied/argued/shouted that ICRC and TAPROOT caused Republican candidates in Illinois to lose elections. I served on ICRC’s Steering Committee 2003-2007 and as TAPROOT’s chairman 2005-2012. TAPROOT held breakfast meetings the third Saturday of every month except August when it held a picnic and December when it held a Christmas party. I invited all the speakers for all of its 78 events 2005-2012. I should list all those who spoke at TAPROOT events 2005-2012. Almost all of them were Republican candidates, elected officials, and/or party leaders. My critics/opponents had their operatives and their dupes destroy ICRC and TAPROOT.

(FROM THE ARTICLE: A Geneva group’s plan to host the Stewart Rhodes, founder of the far-right Oath Keepers and a convicted Jan. 6 organizer, has stirred a hornet’s nest of protest on social media, a petition of more than 1,000 signatures and pickets in front of a local country club. The conservative Three Headed Eagle Alliance’s Sept. 23 gathering at Eagle Brook Country Club was scheduled to feature Rhodes, who was convicted of seditious conspiracy in connection with Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol and sentenced to 18 years in prison, as its guest speaker. However, the Three Headed Eagle’s website now states the venue for Rhodes’ appearance has been changed and will be announced closer to the date.)

— America’s Black On White Crime Problem
https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2025/09/america_s_black_on_white_crime_problem_captured_in_full_color_video.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: George Floyd was a criminal and a sometime thug. By the time he died of a drug overdose in 2020, he had spent at least the last 23 years committing crimes. Over that 23-year period, he was arrested at least nine times for everything from drug possession and distribution to theft to aggravated assault. He was stopped for a wide variety of other activities that required him to do community service or did not result in an arrest. Nine arrests over 23 years might not sound like a lot, but for more than eight of those years, he was in prison and not able to prey on people. Although arrested and jailed for aggravated assault, the crime that was the catalyst for his death was his decision to pass a counterfeit $20 bill. When the police arrived, he refused to comply, fought the police, and then died from natural causes when he was pinned down to the ground, as the police were surrounded by an angry mob that made it impossible for them even to try to address Floyd’s health. Then suddenly, George Floyd became a saint. Across the country and around the world, there was gnashing of teeth, protests, and riots about his death. The Black Lives Matter grifters monetized it, politicians made speeches using it to demonize police and America, and the draconian regulations meant to protect us from a supposedly extinction-level virus were conveniently suspended so long as people were busy protesting and burning down cities. However, only with a fuller understanding of the circumstances leading up to the events captured on video does one understand that Floyd’s death was not murder or even police brutality, but rather a very unfortunate circumstance brought about by Floyd himself. But then it wasn’t George Floyd’s death itself that caused half the country to rally around the fiction of police brutality and systemic racism; it was the videos. While the videos are indeed difficult to watch, they don’t change the fact that it was Floyd’s choices that were responsible.)

— Why the United States Leads the World in Millionaires. Roughly 1 in every 15 people in the U.S. is a millionaire. Why do you have less money? I have less money because my Democrat superiors in the federal government wasted my career and forced me to retire when I was 49 in 1997.
https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/markets/why-the-united-states-leads-the-world-in-millionaires/ar-AA1M401a
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The United States is a global leader in wealth accumulation, boasting the highest number of millionaires and billionaires. By 2024, an estimated 23.8 million Americans will have a net worth of at least seven figures. This means that roughly 1 in every 15 people in the U.S. is a millionaire. . .One of the keys to this massive wealth accumulation lies in the characteristics and mindset of those who achieve it. Millionaires in the U.S. are typically goal-oriented and patient. Rather than pursuing ostentatious lifestyles, they focus on building a mix of financial assets that grow over time. Their wealth often stems from consistent contributions to retirement accounts, prudent use of credit, and avoiding unnecessary liabilities.)

— Naperville Labor Day parade marks end to ‘fastest summer ever’ for families
https://www.chicagotribune.com/2025/09/01/naperville-parade-end-to-summer-families/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Attending the parade was perhaps an act of instinct for Roger Schaeffer, who has watched the festivities for three decades. The 73-year-old’s children have moved away. The crowd has gotten bigger and the politicians — a campaigning George W. Bush one year — come and go, he said. . .It’s a surprise that so few labor groups show up, a far cry from the union-dominated festivities held in Chicago, he noted.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Western Springs, Illinois, again ranks as the nation’s safest and richest city to live. As of 2025, the household mean income is $294,896. . .Illinois experienced the biggest jump in wealthy cities to rank in the top 50 — with 12 cities this year compared to four in 2024. These 12 cities are Western Springs (#1), Winnetka (#7), Kenilworth (#8), Libertyville (#16), Hinsdale (#17), Deerfield (#28), Park Ridge (#33), Elmhurst (#34), Wilmette (#35), La Grange (#38), Glen Ellyn (#42) and Naperville (#49).)
INDEED
— 16 Careers for Car Lovers. My goal of having a career in the automotive industry ended when I was 22 in 1971 a) when Oldsmobile withdrew a job offer that I had accepted saying that it had just agreed to stop hiring Whites to settle an EEOC complaint and b) when my Firestone Store boss rudely fired me because I had accepted that offer. Because I had to have a job, I accepted a job offer from IRS. I started with almost 3 years of federal seniority and lots of reinstated unused sick leave because I had worked for the Post Office for almost 3 years while I earned my bachelor’s degree.

https://www.dailyherald.com/20250826/news/dupage-county-will-spend-up-to-147k-to-retain-springfield-lobbyists/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The county will pay Marquardt & Humes Inc., no more than $94,500 for one year of lobbying work through Sept. 14, 2026. The firm’s lobbying team includes Scott Marquardt, who began his career as a prosecutor in the DuPage state’s attorney’s office, and John “Chip” Humes, who’s also a co-owner of the Humes Funeral Home in Addison. Though the political makeup of the county board has changed over the years, officials continued using Roger C. Marquardt & Co. as a state-level lobbyist. In 2024, Scott Marquardt and Humes solidified their business partnership, forming Marquardt & Humes, according to a firm overview. The county also will pay Raucci & Sullivan Strategies no more than $52,500 for one year of lobbying services through August 2026. Former Republican state Sen. Dave Sullivan is the firm’s president. Marc Poulos, who was a member of Gov. JB Pritzker’s transition team, also is part of the firm. Marquardt & Humes are “continuing our strong advocacy on behalf of DuPage County regarding ongoing transit negotiations,” Humes wrote in a letter to officials in July.)

These Democrat plants and RINOs focus on driving platform Republicans like me out of the party. I should write about them and the adverse actions that they have had their operatives and their dupes take against me since 1999. In 2000, they got one of their own to run against me for RPC. In 2004, they rudely fired me as the Milton Township Republican Organization (MTRO) webmaster and rudely defeated me 69 to 13 when I ran for MTRO Treasurer. In 2006, they almost got the Illinois Center Right Coalition (ICRC) to censure me for my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters. In 2007, they got ICRC to rudely throw me off its Steering Committee.

REAL CLEAR WIRE
— The Democrats’ hackneyed falsehood that Republican gerrymandering in Texas is racist and will end American democracy is not only hysterical – it’s hypocritical. While gerrymandering is ethically impaired, it has been part of U.S. politics for more than 200 years, and a mainstay of Democratic Party election strategy since the 1980s. When redistricting is designed to favor one group over another, it is referred to as gerrymandering. Prior to the 1960s, court challenges to congressional redistricting plans were generally considered to be political questions outside judicial purview. In 1962, however, the Supreme Court held that federal courts could ensure compliance with the constitutional requirement of “one person, one vote” when Tennessee created districts with population variances as large as ten-to-one. Courts also hear challenges to redistricting plans based on claims of racial gerrymandering under the Voting Rights Act of 1965 (VRA), the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment, and the 15th Amendment, and until recently, also claims that a gerrymander was intended to benefit a particular candidate, ideology or party. . .The congressional map drawn by Illinois Democrats after the 2020 census transformed its congressional delegation from 13 Democrats and 5 Republicans to 14 Democrats and just 3 Republicans – in a state where Donald Trump won 44% of the 2024 vote. The respected Gerrymandering Project at Princeton University gave Illinois an “F” for its partisan gerrymander.

AXIOS
— AI is already taking jobs away from entry-level workers. What impacted entry-level jobs when you were in your 20s? For me, it was the Vietnam War draft. Potential employers saw me as being draft bait. They did not believe that my application for a financial hardship draft deferment would be approved. I did not get offers for jobs that required a college degree until after my application was approved and because of my draft number, I was no longer subject to the draft. By then, my career was already behind schedule. To try to catch up, a) I earned an MBA from Loyola when I was 27 and a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul when I was 31, b) I passed the CPA examination when I was 30 and the Certified Internal Auditor examination when I was 32, and c) I became a licensed CPA when I was 32. But by then, it was too late. The federal government uses up-or-out to rid of its employees who are Republican, White, male, and/or non-veteran who do not make GS-13, currently $117,807/year, by age 25. I did not make GS-13 until I was 38.

— Wirepoints Faces 74% Revenue Drop Since 2020 as Spending Spikes 57% as Leader Eyes Governor Run on Fiscal Issues. Since its peak, the number of GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletter subscribers has decreased a) because subscribers give up on Illinois politics and government, b) because subscribers die, and c) because subscribers move out of Illinois. But the number of my subscribers who are my critics/opponents and who read my newsletters for opposition research increases. Further, subscribers and potential subscribers see that the following not only do not encourage reading my newsletters, but that they discourage reading my newsletters by taking adverse actions against me including more recently removing me from the Illinois Republican Party State Convention Platform and Resolutions Committee last year and ending by service as the Republican fundraiser for Wheaton Independence Day parades and fireworks in 2021: past and present a) leaders of the Milton Township Republican Organization, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Illinois Republican Party, b) Republican leaders of Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois, c) Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct and their political consultants, major donors, fundraisers, pollsters, campaign managers, and campaign volunteers, d) conservative leaders, and e) religious leaders. I should write about the aforesaid. I would focus on the aforesaid who have had their operatives and their dupes take the most/biggest adverse actions against me lately.

In 1961, if the pastor of the Missouri Synod Trinity Lutheran Church in Crete had taken a calling from a Wisconsin Synod church instead of splitting Trinity and switching it to the Wisconsin Synod, my entire post-1961 life would have been dramatically different. In 1961, to stay with the Missouri Synod, when I was in eight grade and my brother was in second grade, my parents transferred to Hope Lutheran Church in Park Forest and transferred my brother and I to Hope Lutheran Grade School in Park Forest.

— Brand advertising on news sites isn’t risky, it’s absolutely necessary. News junkies are more likely to show interest in your brands and buy your products. They hold more favorable views of brands, trusting them more and recommending them to others. My direct competitors are beyond furious that I have the time, money, experience, ability, and motivation to put together and send out GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters every morning without any advertising or donation requests. Everyone sees how my direct competitors treat me and treat my newsletters.

— For financial freedom by age 30, optimize ruthlessly during your peak physical and cognitive years. I earned a bachelor’s degree in management from NIU when I was 21. I earned an MBA from Loyola when I was 27. I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt when I was 30. I earned a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul when I was 31. I passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt and became a licensed CPA when I was 32. But according to my critics/opponents, all of the aforesaid was too late.

— Who’s Really Rich in New York? Firefighter pensions would qualify by Andrew Cuomo’s standard. According to my critics/opponents, the federal government grossly overpaid me and my Civil Service Retirement System (CSRS) pension and 72% health insurance subsidy are much too generous. In today’s dollars, my GAO salary was $153,151/year when I was 49 in 1997. My CSRS pension is $66,780/year. To get the aforesaid, I worked for the Democrats who ran the federal government for almost 30 years. I earned a job-related bachelor’s degree when I was 21. I earned job-related master’s degrees when I was 27, 31, and 48. I earned job-related professional certifications when I was 30, 32, 41, 45, 47, and 48. I earned a job-related professional license when I was 32.

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Mayoral candidate Andrew Cuomo says you’re wealthy in New York City if you make more than $200,000. By his standard, nearly 800 New York City retired firefighters get pensions that qualify them as rich. Behold why New York’s not-so-rich pay taxes as if they are rich. A new analysis by the Empire Center for Public Policy finds that New York City firefighters who retired last year after full careers were entitled to an average annual pension of $171,336. Nearly 95% of new retirees were eligible for six-figure pensions, and a quarter qualified for annuities of more than $200,000. Mr. Cuomo recently claimed his Democratic opponent in the mayoral race, Zohran Mamdani, was “very rich” because he and his wife likely made more than $200,000 combined. So in his view, are the city’s 46 retired firefighters with pensions of more than $300,000 super-rich? They certainly have super-sized retirement benefits compared to most workers in private industry. City firefighters can retire at any age with full benefits as long as they have worked 20 years (22 for more recent hires). Their pensions are also exempt from state and city tax—a 9.9% combined top rate for individuals making more than $200,000—and they receive free healthcare.)
— FRONT PAGE: What It’s Really Like to Support a Big Family on a Modest Income in America. More Americans are choosing to put off having children—or not having them at all. The Ivys are an exception. ‘It is hard. But it’s not impossible.’ I should write about my Democrat GAO superiors. They viciously demonized me, denigrated me, and condemned me a) because my wife and gave up trying to have children without trying IVF, b) because we did not depot, and c) because we did not become foster parents. According to them, if my wife and I had children, I would not have been able to a) pass the CPA examination on my first attempt, b) earn a master’s degree in accounting, c) pass the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt, d) become a licensed CPA, e) etc. My Democrat GAO superiors a) had children, b) decried the time and cost needed to raise children, and/or c) had spouses who had little or no income.

— Ever since my parents sent me to kindergarten at Trinity Lutheran Grade School in Crete in 1953, my critics/opponents have demonized, denigrated, and condemned my parents as having been filthy rich. But my father never earned more than $50,000/year in today’s dollars and my mother never worked outside of our home until after he died suddenly when he was 47 and I was 21 in 1969.

GOVERNMENT EXECUTIVE
— Trump administration seeks permission to finalize mass layoffs at HHS. During the 1980s and 1990s, Gingrich got Congressional permission to gut GAO. If Gingrich had reformed GAO instead of gutting it, there would be no need for DOGE and I might still be a GAO employee. The Democrats who ran GAO used Gingrich budget cuts to get rid of the agency’s few remaining Republican employees, including me. In 1980, I was one of the last Republicans GAO hired.
