LANSING JOURNAL
— Thornton Township election preview: Tuesday is Caucus Day; candidates so far (COMMENT: It would be great if all township governments would issue press releases that would provide such detail.)
https://thelansingjournal.com/2024/12/02/thornton-township-election-preview-tuesday-is-caucus-day-candidates-so-far/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: In preparation for what could be the most contested Thornton Township election in recent history, major political parties will each hold a caucus Tuesday, Dec. 3, to select candidates for supervisor, clerk, assessor, highway commissioner, and four trustee seats. Voters will go to the polls on April 1, 2025, to make their selections in the Consolidated Election, and the caucuses determine which candidates they will see on their ballots. A source familiar with Thornton Township politics said these are the first caucuses held in many years. . .Residents of Thornton Township may participate in either the Democratic or Republican Party caucuses, nominating a candidate and voting on their party’s nominees. By participating in the caucus, a resident is becoming affiliated with that political party. Caucus proceedings When entering the caucus room, participants will be asked to sign an affidavit stating they are registered to vote in Thornton Township and are affiliated with the established political party conducting the caucus — that they are a registered Democrat or registered Republican. The chair of the proceedings will call the caucus to order. They will introduce the caucus judges of election and announce the offices for which nominees will be selected. Then the chair calls for nominations, which can come from anyone in the caucus. The procedure continues until there are no more nominations. Participants then vote on their preferred nominees. The highest vote-getters in each race are selected as the nominee. Independent and other candidates Candidates running under non-major political parties have already filed their candidacy for Thornton Township, and do not participate in the caucus process. Four Independent Party candidates are looking to unseat Henyard: Nate Fields Jr., LaShunte’ Lollis-Walton, Stafford Owens, and Sidney Moore. Harvey Mayor Chris Clark is also a candidate for supervisor, leading a Reform Thornton Township Party ticket that includes four candidates for trustee: Harvey city administrator Corean Davis, Harvey fifth ward alderperson Dominique Randle-El, Rachel Jones, and Jacinta J. Gholston. Also running for trustee are Democrat Mary Ann Thornton and Independent Felesa Melvin. Running for highway commissioner is Independent Kenny Williams. The township Clerk’s office reported no filings for clerk or assessor. It is not clear whether other incumbents on the Thornton Township Board of Trustees, all Democrats, are seeking nominations to retain their seats.)

https://www.shawlocal.com/kane-county-chronicle/2024/11/30/former-lauzen-employee-slams-his-expertise-treatment-of-her/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: In an email, Lauzen wrote that he fired Cain on Friday, Nov. 22. “It is now obvious to me that I made a mistake when I hired her,” Lauzen’s email stated. When there were concerns about her work, he said, he gave her a written six-month performance improvement plan. . .In his email, Lauzen denied saying he had “given up” on her, spoke to her with contempt, and justified that he wanted her log in ID and password because he is “ultimately responsible for everything that occurs in the Treasurer’s Office, both good and bad, I need to know what is going on around me.” As to his lack of computer skills, Lauzen said he depends on his staff and the IT department to assist. “There is no conceit on my part that my data processing skills are in any way exemplary,” Lauzen wrote. “I’m not shy to ask for help.” Lauzen also wrote that the Treasurer’s Office does not have to follow Government Accounting Standard Board rules regarding revenue. It also does not have statutory responsibility or authority to produce or present the county’s financial statements. “The Accounting Department does. Therefore, we have nothing to do with the applicability of any GASB regulations,” Lauzen wrote.)

THE HILL
— Redefining diversity in Trump’s second administration (COMMENT: All my coworkers who my Democrat superiors promoted over me were Democrats 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. They all 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.)
https://thehill.com/opinion/white-house/5012229-trump-dei-merit/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: President-elect Donald Trump’s resounding victory signals a turning point for our nation. As America grapples with the consequences of unchecked diversity, equity and inclusion or DEI policies, the second Trump administration has a clear mandate to restore fairness and meritocracy in employment law. . .At its core, DEI as currently practiced is antithetical to the principles of fairness and equality. Instead of leveling the playing field, it tilts it steeply in favor of select groups, creating a workplace culture where hiring and promotions are often dictated by identity rather than merit. DEI practices, though often cloaked in the language of equity, are nothing more than reverse discrimination, punishing individuals for their race or gender while undermining the very concept of merit-based achievement. . .Second, Trump can promote merit-based hiring and advancement. Meritocracy is the cornerstone of a thriving economy. Employment decisions should be based on skills, qualifications and performance — not identity. The Trump administration must make it clear that federally regulated industries and contractors will face penalties for using quotas or “diversity scorecards” as hiring criteria. Transparency in hiring and promotion processes should also be mandated to ensure fairness. . .America’s workplaces must remain places of opportunity and collaboration, not battlegrounds for ideological warfare. DEI, as it currently stands, has created an environment of division, resentment and legal uncertainty. By focusing on merit, fairness and individual rights, the Trump administration can undo the damage wrought by years of identity politics and restore a culture of excellence and mutual respect.)

— Law enforcement is one of America’s hottest jobs right now (COMMENT: IRS enforces federal tax laws. I was an IRS Revenue Officer for almost 9 years, the last 5 1/2 years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 Levels, currently $97,079-$110,020/year.)
https://www.cnn.com/2024/09/09/business/job-market-law-enforcement/index.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Police departments and sheriff’s offices across are clamoring for new recruits after grappling with a sharp drop in applicants and a wave of retirements after George Floyd’s murder in 2020 caused many to be wary of working for a police force, recruiters told CNN. . .The average salary of a police officer climbed more than 37% in the first eight months of this year compared to the same time last year, according to ZipRecruiter data provided to CNN. That’s a recent sign of strong demand for police officers, because from 2022 to 2023 the average salary for policing jobs rose by roughly 8%. “Police departments are trying hard to make the role more attractive after suffering a recruitment and retention crisis,” said ZipRecruiter Chief Economist Julia Pollak. She added that there’s also been a huge spike in job postings on ZipRecruiter listing “law enforcement” as a desired skill. While a police officer may be a steady job, it’s important to note that it usually requires a months-long training process (typically paid), as well as an extensive background check.)

I gave up searching for jobs appropriate for someone with my work experience, professional certifications, and professional license long ago because potential employers were turned off by the many adverse actions that my Democrat GAO superiors had taken against me. In addition to forcing me to retire early, they had a) delayed my promotions and never promoting me beyond GS-13, b) always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes, and c) forced me to take a $22,996 (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO. Further they were turned off by my bad demographics, my having complained about political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination, and my having sued my GAO superiors for the aforesaid. Thankfully, my wife and I could afford the $84,910/year loss in income in today’s dollars that I suffered a) because of my wife’s income, b) because of my $65,165/year federal pension in today’s dollars, c) because the federal government pays 72% of our health insurance premiums, and d) because we have no debts or dependents.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: The final, official 2024 election returns are in, and boy, are they consistent. When it comes to the last three presidential elections, 2024 doesn’t look much different than 2016 or 2020 in our area. Let’s start with Champaign County, where Donald Trump’s losing percentage — a historically bad one for three consecutive elections — has barely budged. He got 36.52 percent in 2024, 36.92 percent in 2020 and 36.42 percent in 2016. No candidate has done that poorly in the county in a presidential election with just two major candidates since Democrat Adlai Stevenson in 1952 and 1956 (34 and 33 percent, respectively). Poor Jimmy Carter got just 32.2 percent in 1980, but that was also had Illinois congressman and University of Illinois graduate John Anderson running as an independent, and he got 15 percent of the vote here.)

— According to Democrat leaders, a) voters are fully aware of the Democrat Party platform, b) they support it, and c) that is why they vote for Democrat candidates. But how aware are they of the Democrat Party platform? The Democrat Party platform promotes dependency on government and charity, LGBTQ, abortion, mass/illegal immigration, booze, gambling, pot, and other vices, diminishment of Second Amendment rights, Affirmative Action and DEI, that is, race and gender based preference giving, patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, religious discrimination, and nation origin discrimination. The aforesaid promotes poverty and crime. My “Republican” critics/opponents are Democrat Lite, RINO, anti-conservative, if not anti-Republican. They fail/refuse to speak against the Democrat Party platform. They fail/refuse to promote the Republican Party platform. They focus on stopping me from sending out GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters. They focus on stopping everyone from reading my newsletters. They have had their operatives and their dupes take many big adverse actions against me since 2000. I should start writing about my critics/opponents. – Dave Diersen

ANSWER: a) U.S. Representatives Darin LaHood, Mike Bost, and Mary Miller, b) Republican Illinois Senators and Representatives, c) Republican elected officials in your county, township, municipality, and school district, d) leaders of the Illinois Republican Party, and e) leaders of your county and township/ward party organizations. – Dave Diersen

–Illinois Republican Party (IRP) State Central Committee (SCC) members run the IRP. QUESTION: Why has the IRP ever-increasingly moved to the left, that is, why have Illinois Republican candidates ever-increasingly lost elections? ANSWER: IRP SCC members are not directly elected by Illinois Republicans. Those who control the IRP SCC election process are Democrat Lite, RINO, anti-conservative, if not anti-Republican. They reject some, many, most, if not virtually all of the planks in the Republican Party platform. They despise if not hate Trump. They have taken many big adverse actions against me since 2000 because I promote direct election of IRP SCC members. I should write about that. – Dave Diersen

GAO audits IRS. However, my Democrat GAO superiors did everything that they could to make my transfer a failure. They forced me to take a $22,996/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer. They ignored/dismissed/belittled my knowledge of IRS and that much of what I did at IRS was very similar to what I would do at GAO. They kept me off of audits of IRS for all but 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for GAO. 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 in 1997. They ignored/dismissed/belittled my earning an MBA in 1976, my passing the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, my earning a master’s degree in accounting in 1980, my passing the Certified Internal Auditor examination and becoming a licensed CPA in 1981, my earning four more job-related professional certifications in 1990, 1994, 1996, and 1997, and my earning a master’s degree in finance in 1997.

I would use as examples the many who they have turned against me. I would focus on a) leaders of the Illinois Republican Party, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Milton Township Republican Organization, b) Republican leaders of Illinois, DuPage County, Milton Township, and Wheaton, c) Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct, d) conservative leaders and activists, and e) religious leaders and activists.)

— Employers ever-increasingly want cheap labor. My critics/opponents have always demonized me, denigrated me, and condemned me as being grossly overpaid. In today’s dollars, I earned a) $12.41/hour 1964-1966, b) $18.99-$20.25/hour 1966-1969, c) $54,728-$110,020/year 1971-1980, and d) $87,024-$150,075/year 1980-1997. In my defense, I earned a) a high school diploma in 1966, b) a job-related bachelor’s degree in 1970, c) job-related master’s degrees in 1976, 1980, and 1997, d) job-related professional certifications in 1979, 1981, 1990, 1994, 1996, and 1997, and e) a job-related professional license in 1981. I should write about my critics/opponents. I would focus on what they did to qualify themselves for better paying jobs.

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Unlike traditional background check services that require manual work like gathering documents from various government and judicial systems about an individual’s history, Checkr maintains partnerships with governments so it can tap a large digital database of public records. . .More recently, Checkr has expanded its customer base to include non-tech sectors such as retail, manufacturing and hospitality. It also introduced a personal background-check product this year, letting individuals ensure the accuracy of their history before it’s seen by banks, landlords and potential employers.)

(FROM THE POSTING: Every person hired for a federal job must undergo a background investigation to ensure that they are “reliable, trustworthy, of good conduct and character, and loyal to the United States.” This is an important and lengthy part of the appointment process. Familiarize yourself with the forms
To initiate a background investigation, your sponsoring agency will ask you to complete one or more of these forms: the Questionnaire for National Security Positions (SF 86) ( https://www.opm.gov/forms/pdf_fill/sf86.pdf ) or the Questionnaire for Public Trust Positions (SF 85P) ( https://www.opm.gov/forms/pdf_fill/sf85p.pdf ), depending on how your position may affect national security and other sensitive matters such as government finance and technology. The government is in the process of consolidating these forms into one Personnel Vetting Questionnaire. It may take weeks to gather your records and complete, and longer if you have significant foreign travel. Get started early!)

— Black jobs are bad jobs that Whites refuse to take. My critics/opponents have always demonized me, denigrated me, and condemned me for taking bad jobs that they would never stoop to take. I did yard work 1962-1964, delivered newspapers 1962-1966, washed dishes 1964-1966, cleaned golf shoes, chipped slag, and pumped gasoline in 1966, delivered mail 1966-1969, worked on an automobile 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. They have always hinted/implied/argued/shouted that Blacks should have gotten the jobs and promotions that I got. They were especially furious when IRS promoted me instead of Blacks in 1972, 1973, and 1974 and GAO promoted me instead of a Black in 1986. They were overjoyed when GAO forced me to retire in 1997 and gave my job and my preferred corner office to my Black subordinate. I should write a book about the aforesaid.

— Newly improved FAFSA student aid application released following last year’s technical woes (COMMENT: Did you apply for financial aid? I did not because my father earned too much money – $50,000/year in today’s dollars. Did you apply for an academic scholarship? I did not because my ACT score was only 24 and I only just barely made it into the upper 20% of my class. Instead, I washed dishes part-time for the S.S. Kresge in Chicago Heights at $12.41/hour in today’s dollars and saved all the money that I could to pay for my college expenses at UIC and for a new 1966 Pontiac Tempest Sprint to commute to/from classes and parents’ home in Crete. Things got better financially when I started working part-time for the Park Forest Post Office in November of 1966 at $18.99/hour in today’s dollars. But my GPA suffered because instead of studying, I worked all the hours that I could delivering mail.)

— How thankful are you? According to my critics/opponents, I have never been thankful enough. They have always attributed all my successes in life to my benefitting from discrimination against those who share their demographics: liberal/moderate, minority, female, younger, LGBTQ, veteran, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or have ancestors who have not been in America for a long time. In my defense, I stress that neither of my parents attended college, my father was only the first of my ancestors to earn a high school diploma, my mother never attended high school, and I had to work my way through college. I should write about my critics/opponents. I would focus on those who have lots of religious, government, political, and/or financial clout in Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois and have their operative and their dupes take many big adverse actions against me. I would focus on those whose parents had lots of money and bought them cars, paid for their college expenses, and got them jobs. – Dave Diersen

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/disgusting-ex-gop-rep-shreds-elon-musk-s-dangerous-attack-on-civil-service/ar-AA1uSZTX
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Former Rep. Joe Walsh (R-IL) slammed tech billionaire and Donald Trump ally Elon Musk for publicly naming examples of government employees he will target for elimination. “Shame on anyone who doesn’t have a problem with the wealthiest man on the planet publicly sharing the individual names of government employees he wants fired,” wrote Walsh, who went from being a Tea Party activist to one of the most outspoken conservative opponents of Trump. “Calling them out by name. Disgusting. Dangerous.” Musk, who helped Trump run critical sections of his campaign in the election and now heads up a MAGA task force on how to cut government spending, made the threats against specific employees earlier this week, according to CNN.)
— Is this the list of federal employees whom Elon Musk, Vivek Ramaswamy may fire? Here’s the truth. (COMMENT: While I worked for the Democrats who ran the federal government for almost 30 years, I was always on their fire lists.

— Musk’s DOGE May Cut These Federal Agencies (COMMENT: Republicans ever-increasingly cut GAO while I worked for the Democrats who ran the agency 1980-1997. They ever-increasingly took their anger at Republicans out on me, one of the few Republicans in the agency. I should write a book about that. They forced me to suffer a $22,996 (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO. They delayed my promotions and never promote me beyond GS-13 even though I had earned a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980 and passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination and became a licensed CPA in 1981. They keep me off audits of IRS until 1986 when the GAO manager who had arranged for my transfer was finally able to assign me to audits of IRS and to promote me to GS-13. But in 1987, they forced him to retire, and in 1989, they threw me off audits of IRS forever, gave me an very bad job assignment, gave me very unfair performance expectations, gave me a very unfair performance appraisal, and ranked me at the bottom of my coworkers for pay-for-performance (PFP) purposes. They never again assigned me to audits of IRS, they always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for PFP purposes, and they forced me to retire in 1997 even though I had earned job-related professional certifications in 1990, 1994, 1996, and 1997 and a job-related master’s degree in 1997.)

— How to Be More Thankful (COMMENT: According to my critics/opponents, I have never been thankful enough. They have always attributed all my successes in life to my benefitting from discrimination against those who share their demographics: liberal/moderate, minority, female, younger, LGBTQ, veteran, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or have ancestors who have not been in America for a long time. In my defense, I stress that neither of my parents attended college, my father was only the first of my ancestors to earn a high school diploma, my mother never attended high school, and I had to work my way through college. I should write about my critics/opponents. I would focus on those who have lots of religious, government, political, and/or financial clout in Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois and have had their operatives and dupes take many big adverse actions against me. I would focus on those whose parents had lots of money and bought them cars, paid for their college expenses, and got them jobs.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: White Evangelical Protestants are Trump’s largest backers with 81% supporting him, followed by white Catholics, 61%, then white mainline/non-Evangelical Protestants, 60%. Harris’s biggest backers are black Protestants, 83%, religiously unaffiliated people, 70%, and Hispanic Catholics, 61%. While Hispanic Catholics largely support Harris, Hispanic Christians of all types that attend church weekly swing to Trump, with 55% supporting him over 41% supporting Harris. The poll found several areas of overlap between white and Hispanic Protestants, the majority of both support Trump. The exodus of Christian Hispanics away from Catholicism toward Protestantism could help explain Trump’s increasing standing with Hispanics. Half of Hispanics are expected to be Protestant by 2030, a demographic that was once almost uniformly Catholic.)

(COMMENT: My Democrat IRS superiors disallowed my 1972, 1973, 1974, 1975, 1976, 1977, and 1978 education deductions in 1978 because I had complained about political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination. They disallowed graduate evening business and accounting courses that I had taken at Loyola and DePaul. They disallowed them even though my employee manual encouraged me to take them. They falsely, outrageously, and unethically argued that the courses did not relate to my job duties, that they did not maintain or improve my job skills, that they qualified me for a new trade or business, and that I took them to get a job in the private sector. I should write a book about the aforesaid.)

NATIONAL REVIEW
— Five things to make the Air Force, which has struggled with wokeness, recruitment, and declining standards, great again. (COMMENT: While I worked for the Democrats who ran GAO 1980-1997, the agency ever-increasingly declined. The agency ever-increasingly dumped meritocracy. Its top priority ever-increasingly became hiring, retaining, and promoting Democrats who were minority, female, younger, veteran, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or had ancestors who had not been in America for a long time. That ever-increasingly rendered worthless my work experience, my three master’s degrees, my six professional certifications, and my professional license.)
https://www.nationalreview.com/2024/11/lets-make-the-air-force-academy-soar-once-more/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Whether it’s the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff stating in a congressional hearing that he hopes to understand his “white rage,” or an official memorandum about establishing “aspirational” race and sex quotas for officers, it’s clear that partisan ideology has supplanted competency as the defining attribute of our current military’s leaders. Nowhere has this leftward shift been more apparent than at the United States Air Force Academy and its newfound obsession with indoctrinating cadets in woke, anti-American ideology.

In my defense, I had to work my way through college.

I did not take and pass the CPA examination until I was 30. I did not earn a master’s degree in accounting until I was 31. I did not take and pass the Certified Internal Auditor examination and become a licensed CPA until I was 32. By then, because of my bad demographics, the accounting profession viewed me as being far too old to have a successful career in accounting. In retrospect, with benefit of hindsight, I should majored in accounting from the beginning.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Jonathan Baron, founder of Baron Public Affairs and host of “The Political Risk Brief,” said the emergence of this powerful conservative media ecosystem allowed Trump to bypass traditional outlets. His firm analyzed more than 16,000 references from Trump, Vice President-elect JD Vance, and 40 key advisers to identify the top influencers who make up this pro-Trump network. Baron’s firm then separated them into three groups of influencers—amplifiers, specialists, and mavericks—who are categorically anti-establishment. He spoke with The Daily Signal about his firm’s groundbreaking research and how these powerful influencers will shape campaigns and policymaking in the future.

CHIEF EXECUTIVE
— What Trump’s Win Means For Labor And Employment Law (COMMENT: How has EEOC impacted you? When I was 22 years old in 1971, Oldsmobile withdrew a job offer that I had accepted saying that it had just agreed to stop hiring Whites to settle an EEOC complaint. 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.)
https://chiefexecutive.net/what-trumps-win-means-for-labor-and-employment-law/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: President Trump will likely tap current EEOC commissioner Andrea Lucas to serve as chair. As with the NLRB, however, Lucas will find herself outnumbered by Democratic members on the Commission, three to one – a situation that will likely continue for some time. Upon attaining a Republican majority, the Commission may seek to roll back the collection of workplace demographic data and limit the agency’s interpretation of Title VII regarding protection for LGBTQ+ workers. An EEOC under Trump likely will also take a narrower view of what’s permissible under DEI initiatives.)

https://www.eeoc.gov/laws/guidance/questions-and-answers-enforcement-guidance-retaliation-and-related-issues
(FROM THE POSTING: What if the employer claims its challenged action was not motivated by retaliation? In many cases, an employer will present a non-retaliatory reason for the challenged action. The employer may assert that it acted for a legitimate and unrelated reason such as poor job performance, misconduct, or the individual’s lack of qualifications for the job. An employee may respond to these assertions by providing evidence that the employer’s explanation is actually a pretext for retaliation. If an employer’s explanation is shown to be false, a factfinder may infer retaliation.)

FROM ILLINOIS CENTER-RIGHT SOURCES
GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— Since 2015, hate-filled Trump-hating Trump-haters have ever-increasingly falsely demonized me, denigrated me, and condemned me as being a Trump loyalist. They stress the many demographics that I share with Trump: conservative, Republican, White, male, older, healthy, married, non-poor, draft avoider, Protestant, German American, and our ancestors have been in America for a long time. However, they know full-well that I have always been loyal to the Republican Party platform, but not to any candidate, elected official, or party leader. My critics/opponents demand blind loyalty and destroy those like me who refuse to give it to them. I should write about my critics/opponents. – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com
— What are your critics/opponents loyal to? My Democrat superiors in the federal government were blindly loyal to the Democrat Party platform. They did everything that they could to waste the careers of and to get rid of their Republican employees and especially those who were conservative, White, male, older, healthy, married, non-poor, draft avoider, Protestant, German American, and/or had ancestors had been in America for a long time. I should write about my Democrat superiors in the federal government. While I opposed their political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, religious discrimination, and national origin discrimination, I nevertheless carried out their direct orders to give preference to my Democrat subordinates who were minority, female, younger, disabled, unmarried, poor, veteran, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or had ancestors who had not been in America for a long time. But because that was not good enough for them, they wasted my career and forced me to retire when I was 49 in 1997. I should write about my subordinates and the preference that I gave them. – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com
— How do your critics/opponents frame you, that is, defame you? Mine stress that I am conservative, Republican, White, male, older, married, non-poor, draft avoider, Protestant, German American, my ancestors have been in America since 1844, union member for almost 12 years, federal employee for almost 30 years, federal retiree for more than 27 years, Crete resident 1948-1972, Wheaton resident since 1978, etc. to defame me as being a White supremacist, Nazi, KKK member, hater, racist, sexist, bigot, and even worse things. I should write about my critics/opponents. Better yet, I should sue them. – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com
— What do your critics/opponents do? Mine do the following now or will do the following when the “come out” in the future: promote dependency on government and charity, LGBTQ, abortion, mass/illegal immigration, booze, gambling, pot, and other vices, diminishment of Second Amendment rights, and/or Affirmative Action and DEI, that is, race and gender based preference giving, reparations, 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 have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me. – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com
— How vulnerable are you? According to hate-filled Trump-hating Trump-haters, the more of the following that you are, the more vulnerable that you are: liberal/moderate, Democrat, Libertarian, Green, Independent, RINO, minority, female, LGBTQ, veteran, unmarried, non-rich, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or have ancestors who have not been in America for a long time. – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com
— What is Trump’s position on GAO? GAO is less than a shell of what it once was. I worked for the Democrats who ran GAO 1980-1997. During that time, they used Republican-led budget cuts to get rid of GAO’s Republican employees 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. I would not have survived until 1997 if I had not a) earned a master’s degree in business in 1976, b) passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, c) earned a master’s degree in accounting in 1980, d) passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt and became a licensed CPA in 1981, e) earned other job-related professional certifications in 1990, 1994, 1996, and 1997, and f) earned a master’s degree in finance in 1997. – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com
— Will Trump end Affirmative Action, DEI, and wokeism, that is, will Trump end race and gender based preference giving, patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, religious discrimination, and national origin discrimination? If he does, it will have a tremendous impact on the Illinois Republican Party, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Milton Township Republican Organization. Far too many leaders of the aforesaid reject the equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) plank in the Republican Party platform. – Dave Diersen

People do not view federal employees and retirees favorably. Most commonly, people negatively stereotype federal employees as being overpaid, lazy, incompetent, inefficient, unmotivated, overly bureaucratic, and slow and as being so bad that they cannot get a job in the private sector. The aforesaid negative stereotyping constructively rendered my job-related bachelor’s degree, three master’s degrees, six professional certifications, and professional license worthless. Most commonly, people negatively stereotype federal retirees as people whose retirement benefits are far too generous. I should write a book about the aforesaid.)

— Why Getting Promoted Is Getting Tougher (COMMENT: From what see, under the Democrats and under the RINOs, the more of the following that you are, the tougher it is to get promoted: conservative, Republican, White, male, older, non-veteran, Protestant, German American, and/or if your ancestors have been in America for a long time. The following helped me get promoted in 1972 (when I was 23 years old), 1973, 1974, and 1986. I completed graduate evening business courses starting in 1972 and earned an MBA in 1976. I completed graduate evening accounting courses starting in 1976 and earned a master’s degree in accounting in 1980. I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979. I passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981. I became a licensed CPA in 1981.)

I should write about my critics/opponents. Better yet, I should sue them.)

— Trump’s pick for FCC chair is no ‘warrior for free speech’ (COMMENT: According to my critics/opponents, because I am a Republican Precinct Committeeman, the following can and should dictate the content of my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters: a) leaders of the Illinois Republican Party (IRP), DuPage County Republican Central Committee (DCRCC), and Milton Township Republican Organization (MTRO), b) Republican leaders of Illinois, DuPage County, Milton Township, and Wheaton, and c) Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct. Of course, I disagree. I stress that I am an elected committeeman, not an appointed one. Many, if not most, if not virtually all IRP, DCRCC, and MTRO leaders have made it extremely clear that they would never appoint me a committeeman. I am much “too conservative.” They want committeemen who they can manipulate/dominate.)

SEATTLE TIMES
— AP layoffs follow newspaper cuts; more use influencers as news source (COMMENT: One could say that I am a news influencer. I have been an independent conservative Republican political and government news and commentary aggregator for 24 years. Before that, I worked for GAO as an Analyst for almost 18 years, the last 11 years of which at the GS-13 Step 1-10 Levels, currently $115,438-$150,075/year. Much of what GAO Analysts do is similar to what reporters and journalists do.)

PBS
— Federal workers brace for Trump’s plan to potentially replace them with loyalists (COMMENT: Democrats run the federal government. I worked for them for almost 30 years. They all were extremely loyal to the Democrat Party platform. Their top priority was wasting the careers of and getting rid of their Republican employees. I should write a book about that.)

BUSINESS INSIDER
— Musk says people should worry less about the cost of having children and ‘start immediately’ (COMMENT: My wife and I had access to IVF. I should write a book about my Democrat GAO superiors who punished me the most because my wife and I gave up trying to have children without trying IVF, because we did not adopt, and because we did not become foster parents. They stressed that our health insurance covered IVF. They all had children and spouses who had little or no income. They all decried the time and money that it cost to raise children. They all 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. They all hinted/implied/argued/shouted that if my wife and I had children, I would not have been able to a) pass the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, b) earn a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980, c) pass the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981, or d) become a licensed CPA in 1981.)

BLOOMBERG LAW
— Tyson Foods Queried in Indiana Probe on Illegal Immigration (COMMENT: If there had been as many illegals when I was young as there are now, they would have gotten the bad jobs that I got. My critics/opponents cannot say that because they did not have to work their way through college because their parents had lots of money, bought them cars, paid for their college expenses, got them jobs, etc.)

— Legal Challenges Expected as Trump Workforce Plans Take Shape (COMMENT: Democrats run the federal government. I worked for them for almost 30 years.

— Pay Gap Narrows a Little, Following Raise Early This Year (COMMENT: I was a federal employee for almost 30 years. My critics/opponent have always demonized me, denigrated me, and condemned me as being grossly overpaid. In my defense, while I was a federal employee, I earned a) a job-related bachelor’s degree, b) three job-related master’s degrees, c) six job-related professional certifications, and d) a job-relater professional license. I should write about my critics/opponents and what they did to qualify themselves for better paying jobs.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Federal employees now lag private sector employees in comparable jobs in pay by 24.72 percent on average, according to the latest figures from the Federal Salary Council—down from the 27.54 percent average it reported last autumn—following the average 5.2 percent average raise paid at the start of this year.)

EDUCATION WEEK
— What a National School Choice Program Under President Trump Might Look Like. His pick for education secretary has spoken favorably of school choice for years, and there’s more GOP support for it than ever. (COMMENT: My parents sent me to Missouri Synod Lutheran Grade Schools and that had a tremendous impact on me. That put me on a track to take college preparatory courses in high school, to get an ACT score of 24, to graduate in the upper 20% of my class, to earn a bachelor’s degree, to earn three master’s degrees, to earn six professional certifications, to earn a professional license, etc. But my parents had less money because they sent my brother and me to Missouri Synod Lutheran Grade Schools. I had to work my way through college.)
