— The Democratic Party of DuPage County announced a unique protest, Hands Across Chicagoland, from noon to 2 p.m. Sunday, May 18. Area Democrats plan to form a human chain along Ogden Avenue stretching from Chicago to Aurora. They promised “we will not block streets or businesses along the route.” How successful have Democrat leaders been driving Republicans out of your county, township, municipality, school district, and precinct? When Democrats move in, poverty and crime increase.

— Trump’s DEI crackdown increasingly makes Democrat and RINO employers worried about lawsuits. Because Democrats have always controlled the courts, my Democrat superiors in the federal government were never concerned about lawsuits against them from their Republican employees. Actually, they welcomed such lawsuits against them, if not encouraged such lawsuits against them. You would see that if you would read the documents in Diersen v. GAO https://gopillinois.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/DiersenGAOFifthAmendedComplaint.pdf According to them, in that lawsuit, the courts ruled that federal employers can use the following to waste the careers of and to get rid of their Republican employees who are White, male, older, non-veteran, Protestant, and/or German American: budget cuts, up-or-out, and/or Affirmative Action and DEI, that is, race and gender based preference giving, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, religious discrimination, and national origin discrimination. My Democrat superiors crow that they succeeded in destroying a Republican federal employee who had a) three job-related master’s degrees, b) six job-related professional certifications, and c) a job-related professional license. – Dave Diersen

I share all of the aforesaid demographics with Trump. I should write about my critics/opponents and the many big adverse actions that they have had their operatives and their dupes take against me since 2015.

To advance, my coworkers glorified and praised their superiors and supervisors, pandered to their superiors and supervisors, and served as operatives or dupes for their superiors and supervisors.

My mother had never worked outside of the home. My brother was having troubles. I applied for a financial hardship draft deferment to help support them. I needed a job. Potential employers saw me as being draft bait. I accepted the only job offer that I got. It was a job that did not really require a college degree. I started taking graduate evening business courses, but only one at a time. Because of that, I did not earn an MBA from Loyola until I was 27. By then, it was too late. I did not earn a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul until I was 31. By then, again, it was too late. It took me 4 years because again, I took only one graduate evening accounting course at a time. I did not pass the Certified Internal Auditor examination and become a licensed CPA until I was 32.

It took me 5 years because again, I took only one graduate evening finance course at a time. Why did I take only one graduate evening course at a time? Because that was all that I could afford in terms of time, attention, and money. Age discrimination is real, and especially for those who are White, male, and/or non-veteran. It is called up-or-out.

Previously, my money came from what I earned working for GAO (1980-1997), IRS (1971-1980), Firestone Stores (1970-1972), Chrysler (1970), Post Office (1966-1969), John’s Sinclair, Thrall Car, and Flossmoor Country Club (1966), and S.S. Kresge (1964-1966). Of course, my critics/opponents want Trump to cut CSRS and SS.

IAFF
— Financial tips to help you plan post-WEP/GPO repeal. Needless-to-say, my critics/opponents will be beyond furious if my application for spousal benefits is approved. Prior to the WEP/GPO repeal, my Social Security (SS) was only $3,000/year. My post-WEP/GPO SS might increase from $6,000/year to $20,000/year. Since 1978, my critics/opponents have been beyond envious of my wife’s salaries. In my defense, I paid into SS 1964-1973 while I washed dishes, cleaned golf shoes, chipped slag, pumped gasoline, delivered mail, worked on an automotive assembly line, sold tires, automotive services, and major appliances, and pumped more gasoline.

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Married People May Be Eligible for Spousal Benefits. If your Social Security benefit is small, you may also be entitled to spousal benefits. However, you must be at least 62 years old, and your spouse must be drawing benefits before you can apply. Calculate your spousal benefits here.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Among the cuts in the legislation are raising the FERS contribution rate to 4.4% for all federal employees, eliminating the FERS annuity supplement and switching from a high-3 average salary to high-5. There also is a provision that would give newly hired federal employees the option to elect to serve as at-will employees in exchange for higher take home pay with a lower FERS contribution rate. Accepting the at-will status option would keep the FERS contribution rate at 4.4%, but retaining civil service protections would add 5% to the retirement contribution (9.4% total). Another provision would require federal employees to pay a $350 fee to reduce frivolous employee appeals to the Merit Systems Protection Board (MSPB) regarding agency disciplinary adverse actions. The proposed cuts were being considered as the House Oversight Committee looked to slash $50 billion from the overall federal budget as it debated its portion of the larger overall FY 2025 spending bill. In remarks he made at Wednesday’s markup session, Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY) said: World-class employment benefits provided to federal employees are well-known, which can include eleven paid holidays; various incentives and awards; health, life, and long-term care insurance; flexible spending accounts; student loan repayment and forgiveness plans; generous leave and workplace flexibilities; and childcare, professional development, and commuter subsidies. The simple truth is that a significant amount of the costs associated with all of these benefits are funded by hardworking taxpayers in the private sector and increasingly now federal government borrowing. The legislation before us today advances important budgetary reforms that will save taxpayers money. Democrats as well as one Republican voted against the legislation in Wednesday’s markup session. Congressman Mike Turner (R-OH) opposed cutting pensions for federal employees as part of the deficit reduction, and he had said prior to the markup session that he would be voting against the bill. He wrote in a statement on X: The goal of reconciliation should be to reduce overall government spending by eliminating waste, fraud, and abuse and reducing needless and unnecessary spending. I oppose any and all efforts to reduce federal spending by taking money from the hard-earned pensions of federal workers. Employee benefits are not a gift. They are earned. I will not support and will not vote for the Oversight Committee’s current budget reconciliation proposal reducing earned pension benefits for current federal employees. In remarks he made at the markup session, Congressman Stephen Lynch (D-MA) said: This partisan bill threatens to further undermine the federal workforce, by reducing the take-home pay, benefits, and workforce protections of 2.4 million federal employees, most of whom are middle-class American workers and a third of whom are military veterans. This is more of the same; an unprecedented assault and political purge of the civil service. The legislative package now advances to the House Budget Committee. Turner also said he thinks that changes are likely to be made to the legislation as it progresses through the legislative process, namely that the cuts to federal employee pensions to which he was opposed would ultimately be eliminated. During Wednesday’s markup session, he reiterated his opposition to the legislation, saying, “I believe that making changes to pension retirement benefits in the middle of someone’s employment is wrong. Changing the rules, especially when someone’s already been vested, is wrong.” He also added, “I have talked to enough people on the House floor that I do think that this [pension cuts] will not be included in the final bill, and that this bill ultimately will have to be changed if it’s going to be included in the ultimate budget reconciliation.” Whether any of these proposed cuts become reality will be determined by what makes it into the final budget legislation if and when it becomes law. As Congressman Turner noted, changes are likely to be made as it goes through the legislative process. FedSmith will continue to provide any updates as they become available.)

Further my GPA was not that great, and while I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt, my scores on the four parts of the examination were not that great.

My Democrat IRS superiors and supervisors who were veterans held my avoiding the Vietnam War draft against me big time. They had disallowed my travel vouchers in 1974. They had made it clear that they would never promote me to GS-13. They disallowed my education deductions in 1978. They ignored/dismissed/belittled my passing the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979.

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Even a member of the moribund Illinois Republican Party — Peoria U.S. Rep. Darin LaHood — indicated interest. From the outside looking in, a GOP candidate would appear to be the political equivalent of a kamikaze pilot in this reflexively Democratic state. Perhaps that’s why another Republican, former state Rep. Tom Demmer, issued a statement that parodied candidates’ expressions of interest. “Following today’s announcement from Sen. Durbin, I’m preparing to have conversations to consider the potential formation of a tentative exploratory committee to look in to the possibility of floating my candidacy. I hope to have potential decisions narrowed down sometime within the next 12-24 months. Get ready to stay tuned,” Demmer tweeted.)

— Trump’s mass firing of probationary employees was illegal because it was not performance-based. I should write about how my Democrat superiors in the federal government used the subjectivity in their performance appraisal systems to get rid of me. I would focus on my Democrat GAO superiors. They used that subjectivity a) to force me to take a $23,472/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS in 1980, b) to delay my promotions and to never promote me beyond GS-13, c) to give me bad job assignments, unfair performance expectations, and unfair performance appraisals, d) to always rank me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance, and e) to force me to retiree when I was 49 years old in 1997. The following frustrated their painting me as being a poor performer: a) my earning an MBA in 1976, b) my passing the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, c) my earning a master’s degree in accounting 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 four more professional certifications in 1990, 1994, 1996, and 1997, and g) my earning a master’s degree in finance in 1997. – Dave Diersen

My Democrat GAO superiors forced me to retire when I was 49 years old in 1997, always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance, delayed my promotions and never promoted me beyond GS-13, and forced me to take a $23,472/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars 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.

Leaders of the Illinois Republican Party (IRP) rudely terminated my membership on the IRP State Convention Platform and Resolutions Committee in 2024. Republican leaders of Wheaton rudely ended my service as the Republican fundraiser for Wheaton Independence Day parades and fireworks in 2021. Leaders of the Milton Township Republican Organization rudely gerrymandered my precinct in 2015. Republican leaders rudely ended my chairmanship of TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois in 2012 and my membership on the Illinois Center Right Coalition (ICRC) Steering Committee in 2007. They almost got ICRC to censure me for my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletter in 2006. – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com
— Have your critics/opponent taken adverse actions against you, and if so, why? My critics/opponents have taken many big adverse actions against me a) because they 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 wrongdoing, and/or who refuse to give them money, b) because they are Democrats or RINOs, and/or c) because I have sued them. I should write about my critics/opponents. – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopilinois.com
— What have your critics/opponents used against you the most? My critics/opponents have used against me the most a) my fighting Democrat promotion of dependency on government and charity, LGBTQ, abortion, mass/illegal immigration, booze, gambling, pot, and other vices, diminishment of Second Amendment rights, and 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, b) my having been a federal employee for almost 30 years and especially my having been an IRS employee for almost 9 years and my having been a federal retiree for almost 28 years, c) my demographics and especially my being a draft avoider, Protestant, and German American, and/or d) my having sued them. But of course, my critics/opponents use pretexts. I should write about my critics/opponents. – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com
— What is your position on equal outcome? My critics/opponents promote equal outcome, that is, according to them, no matter what your demographics are, you should be as successful at what you do as those who do not share your demographics, and if you don’t, it is because of discrimination. According to my critics/opponents, if minorities and/or females are less successful doing something than Whites and/or men are, it is because Whites and/or men discriminated against them. I passed the CPA and Certified Internal Auditor examinations on my first attempt. Few of those who took those examinations were minorities and/or women. Even fewer passwd the examinations on their first attempt. According to my critics/opponents, I passed the examinations because I benefitted from discrimination against minorities and against women. But in my defense, neither of my parents attended college, my father was only the first of my ancestors to earn a high school diploma, he never earned more than $50,000/year in today’s dollars and died suddenly when he was 47 and I was 21, my mother never attended high school, and I had to work my way through college. – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com
— What should you tell your children about up-or-out? If your children are White and/or male, you should tell them that Democrats and RINOs will use up-or-out to get rid of them if they are not making at least $100,000 by age 25, $200,000/year by age 30, $300,000 by age 35, $400,000 by age 40, etc. Because of that, unless your children become Democrats, they should do everything that they can to get good grades, to get the best ACT/SAT score that they can, to get accepted by the best college that they can, and to pick the right major. My Democrat IRS and GAO superiors used up-or-out to get rid of me. The Democrats who run the federal government use up-or-out to get rid of their employees who are not Democrat, minority, female, and/or veteran and who they do not promote to GS-13 ($117,807) by age 25, GS-14 ($139,211) by age 30, GS-15 ($163,749) by age 35, and Senior Executive Service ($195,200) by age 40. Extremely few federal employees make the aforesaid promotion deadlines. My Democrat IRS superiors got rid of me because I am not a Democrat, minority, female, or veteran and because I did not make GS-12 ($99,069) until I was 25 and I did not make GS-13 until I was 38. They did that notwithstanding my earning an MBA in business when I was 27, my passing the CPA examination on my first attempt when I was 30, 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. – Dave Diersen

The Funding U Illinois No-Cosigner Loan program is open to Illinois residents attending public or private colleges and universities. The fixed annual percentage rate ranges from 7.99% to 9.49%, and the program won’t take a student’s credit score into account. If I had not had to work my way through college, my GPA word have been higher. Instead of studying, I spent far too many hours washing dishes and delivering mail.

— FRONT PAGE WITH PICTURE: Car condo project pitched for Lake Zurich would include clubhouse, luxury car dealership. I should write about Iron Gate Motor Condos in Naperville and its unit owners. I have attended many events there since its opening. I bought a small unit there in 2020. I sold it and bought a bigger unit in 2023. I sold it and bought a bigger unit this year. If you are interested in muscle cars, especially Corvettes, Chargers, Mustangs, and Thunderbirds, please let me know.
https://www.dailyherald.com/20250425/business/car-condo-project-pitched-for-lake-zurich-would-include-clubhouse-luxury-car-dealership/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The developer of the Sanctuary of Lake Zurich residential community wants to build a different kind of condo project in town. Luxury still would be the watchword but these units would be used to store classic and rare cars, some worth millions of dollars. And there is a ready market, says Romeo Kapudija. “It’s shocking to me how many rare cars are out there and how much they’re valued at but this is a very popular business model right now and type of development and they’re selling out across the country,” he explained to the Lake Zurich village board this week during a courtesy review of Luxe Corsa Car Condominiums. . .Kapudija said the market is hot for these types of developments, referencing Iron Gate in Naperville and another planned in Barrington as examples of their popularity. Iron Gate Motor Condos was among the first in Illinois to offer space exclusively for classic, collector or exotic vehicles. Ground was broken on 50 acres near Interstate 88 and Route 59 in 2014. “Proof of concept didn’t exist when I started,” said commercial builder, car enthusiast and founder Tom Burgess. “I had to go out of state and bring in people who could explain it” to city officials. Popularity fueled expansion to include 40,000 square feet of auto-related retail. “It turned into more than just the condos,” he said. “There’s a huge car community in Chicagoland. It’s deep and broad. It’s amazing.”)

— As IRS Collections Rise, Clear Start Tax Urges Taxpayers to Take Advantage of the Fresh Start Initiative. I worked for IRS’s Collection Division 1971-1980, the last 5 1/2 years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 Levels, currently $99,069-$112,280/year. I should write about my critics/opponents who have used that against me the most. In my defense, I would not have become an IRS employee a) if Oldsmobile had not offered me a job in 1971, b) if my Firestone Store boss had not rudely fired me because I accepted that offer, c) if Oldsmobile had not withdrawn its job offer saying it had just agreed to stop hiring Whites to settle an EEOC complaint, and d) if I didn’t have to have a job.

(COMMENT: With IRS Enforcement Increasing in 2025, Clear Start Tax Reminds Americans They Still Have Time to Resolve Back Taxes Through Relief Programs. As the IRS steps up its collection efforts in 2024, more Americans are receiving notices, facing wage garnishments, or dealing with tax liens. In response, Clear Start Tax is urging taxpayers with unresolved IRS debt to act quickly and explore relief options under the IRS Fresh Start Initiative, a program designed to help individuals and businesses resolve back taxes affordably. The IRS recently announced renewed funding and a more aggressive stance on collections, which means taxpayers who have ignored or delayed addressing their debt could face heavier enforcement actions in the months ahead. The Urgency of Exploring Debt Resolution Programs As IRS collection efforts intensify, it’s critical for taxpayers with unresolved debt to act before enforcement escalates. The IRS Fresh Start Initiative offers structured programs designed to ease that burden, including Offer in Compromise, Installment Agreements, and Currently Not Collectible (CNC) status. These options can reduce penalties, halt wage garnishments or levies, and in many cases, allow taxpayers to resolve their debt for significantly less than the full amount owed.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: President Donald Trump signed a groundbreaking executive order Thursday eliminating the use of disparate impact theory by the feds. The order “restores the true promise of the Civil Rights Movement—a system that does not differentiate between Americans based on race and where success is determined by individual merit, free from discriminatory practices that prioritize group outcomes over personal achievement.” Disparate impact theory says that any disparity must be the result of discrimination, bigotry, and racism of some kind or another. So for example, if more white people than non-white people pass a firefighter’s exam, then it must be because of racism. Or if more non-white people than white people are pulled over for speeding, that too must be the result of racism and bigotry.)

— Probationary employees face stricter review process under new executive order. If my Democrat GAO superiors could have used probationary procedures to get rid of me, they would have. My doing the following after I transferred from IRS to GAO in early 1980 frustrated their efforts to get rid of me. I earned a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980. I passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981. I became a licensed CPA in 1981.
https://federalnewsnetwork.com/workforce/2025/04/probationary-employees-face-stricter-review-process-under-new-executive-order/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Probationary employees will now have an additional hurdle to clear before they can solidify their federal employment, according to an executive order President Donald Trump signed Thursday evening. Trump’s new order calls for the creation of “Civil Service Rule XI,” which will require agencies to review and actively sign off on probationary workers’ continued employment before they can be moved out of a probationary period. Federal employees are put into probationary periods when they first enter the civil service, or when they begin a new position, for example after getting a promotion. Once a probationary period ends — usually after one or two years of federal service — employees will automatically transition out of probationary status. “Instead of these employees becoming tenured civil servants by default, Rule XI requires agencies to affirmatively certify that finalizing their appointment after their probationary or trial period concludes advances the public interest,” the White House wrote Thursday in a fact sheet detailing the intentions of the executive order. Under current federal regulations, agencies can only remove probationary employees for issues with performance or conduct. Those rules around probationary periods spurred litigation involving the recent mass terminations of tens of thousands of probationary employees. Earlier this month, the Supreme Court blocked an order for the Trump administration to reinstate the probationary employees. Trump’s new executive order, however, adds a new reason that probationary employees can be removed from their jobs. Under the new “Civil Service Rule XI,” agencies can also determine whether a probationary employee should remain in their job based on agency needs and the interest of the public. “It alters the reason for letting a probationer go to include the generic needs and interests of the agency, as opposed to the individual’s performance or conduct,” Debra D’Agostino, an attorney and partner at Federal Practice Group, said in an interview. “It adds this generic reason where the agency can decide that it’s not in the needs or interest of the agency to keep this person.” “Usually, if someone’s not going to satisfy their probation, it’s going to be because of performance or conduct,” Kevin Owen, a partner at Gilbert Employment Law, added. “If the administration is going to start interjecting some sort of ideological component, we’re going to start again sliding into some level of a spoils system here.”)

WHITE HOUSE
— STRENGTHENING PROBATIONARY PERIODS IN THE FEDERAL SERVICE I transferred from IRS to GAO when I was 31 years old in 1980. Because my Democrat GAO superiors soon concluded that I would never become a Democrat, they tried to use probationary procedures to get rid of me. But I had already served my probationary period while I had worked for IRS. They tried to get rid of me because I was a Republican even though I had earned an MBA in 1976, passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, earned a master’s degree in accounting in 1980, passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981, and became a licensed CPA in 1981.
https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/04/strengthening-probationary-periods-in-the-federal-service/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: GAO has documented, however, that agencies have not been using probationary and trial periods as effectively as they could to remove appointees whose continued employment is not in the public interest. As a result of this failure to remove poor performers, agencies have often retained and given tenure to underperforming employees who should have been screened out during their probationary period.)

AMERICAN CONSERVATIVE
— Trump Issues Order Eliminating Use of Disparate-Impact Liability. The order follows a ban on government affirmative action. 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 used disparate-impact to stop 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 race and gender based preference giving, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination.

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

— 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

— 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

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.)
