— Illinois State Police graduates largest cadet class in 25 years. The first 6 months that I worked for IRS as a Revenue Officer in 1971 was classroom training in the Loop. According to Google AI: key areas of Revenue Officer training include: “Tax Law and Procedures: This is fundamental, encompassing various aspects of tax law, regulations, and IRS procedures applicable to individuals and businesses. Business Law: Revenue officers may need to understand business law principles to navigate legal and financial situations encountered during their work. Investigative Techniques: They are trained in investigative methods to uncover discrepancies, errors, or potential fraud in tax filings. Collections Procedures: A significant part of the role involves working with taxpayers to discuss payment options and resolve delinquent tax accounts, according to ZipRecruiter. Training covers various collection strategies and techniques. Negotiation and Communication: Since they interact with taxpayers to discuss sensitive financial matters, revenue officers must possess strong negotiation and communication skills, says ZipRecruiter. Training often focuses on developing these interpersonal abilities. Ongoing Development: Revenue officers are expected to engage in continuous learning to stay abreast of changes in tax laws and regulations, industry trends, and best practices. In essence, IRS revenue officer training prepares individuals to effectively apply tax law, investigate tax-related issues, negotiate with taxpayers, and collect delinquent taxes in a professional and ethical manner.” In today’s dollars, my salary was $55,850/year.

As Democrats ever-increasingly move into your state, county, and municipality, they will ever-increasingly elect officials who will ever-increasingly pass laws to get rid of Republicans. Because Republicans are predominately conservative, White, male, older, married, non-poor, Protestant, German American, and/or have ancestors who have been in America for a long time, Democrat laws will harm them the most.

It would be much more if my Democrat superiors in the federal government had not wasted my career, took many big adverse actions against me, and forced me to retire when I was 49 years old in 1997. In today’s dollars, my pension is only 44% of what my salary was in 1997 and less than what my salary was when I was 23 years old in 1972. To get that pension, I had to pay CSRS 7% for my salary and I had to survive and overcome many big adverse actions. – Dave Diersen

I should write about my critics/opponents.

When I was 40 years old in 1988, I became an active member in a class action lawsuit that charged them with reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation. GAO audits IRS. They had unofficially thrown me off audits of IRS in 1988 because I had complained about their political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination. They had kept me off audits of IRS 1980-1985. They had forced the GAO manager to retire in 1987 who had hired me in 1980 and who had finally been able to assign me to audits of IRS and to promote me in 1986. They had delayed my promotions, 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 to GAO in 1980. To punish me, they officially threw me off audits of IRS in late 1988, gave me a 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. They forced me to take their early retirement “offer” when I was 49 in 1997. I should write about the aforesaid.

My critics/opponents have always painted my parents as having been filthy rich because my mother stayed home and raised me and because they sent me kindergarten through eighth grade to Missouri Synod Lutheran grade schools. But neither of them 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. He almost always worked second jobs to pay the family’s bills. He died suddenly when he was 47 and I was 21. My mother never attended high school. I had to work my way through college.

I was eligible because I had 25 years of federal service – 13 with GAO, 9 with IRS, and 3 with the Post Office. They succeeded in forcing me to retire in 1997 just before their “offer” expired.

https://www.dailyherald.com/20250704/crime/political-payback-deputys-lawsuit-alleges-he-was-demoted-for-backing-candidate/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A decorated Lake County sheriff’s deputy is suing his boss and the county’s top lawyer in federal court, alleging he was demoted for backing a candidate they opposed in last year’s election. Deputy Ari Briskman, a former sergeant, wants a return to his previous rank, as well as back pay and punitive damages from the lawsuit against Sheriff John Idleburg and State’s Attorney Eric Rinehart. Filed Monday in U.S. District Court in Chicago, the suit alleges Briskman was demoted the day after the Nov. 5 election, because he supported Republican Mary Cole for state’s attorney. Cole was hoping to unseat Rinehart, a fellow Democrat and political ally of the sheriff. Briskman also lost his special assignments, including as head of the sheriff’s Marine Unit that patrols area waterways, the suit states. His attorney, Keith L. Hunt, noted that the demotion meant not only a loss of rank, but a loss of substantial income. “To punish a man’s family simply because he didn’t support your buddy’s candidacy is wrong on every level,” Hunt told us. “It’s petty, it’s vindictive and it’s unconstitutional.” Idleburg and Rinehart gave us statements in response to the lawsuit. “The plaintiff, a current employee, has exercised his right to file a lawsuit,” Idleburg said. “We are confident in our actions and will respond through the proper legal channels.” “While we are unable to comment on this pending litigation, we look forward to fully prevailing in court,” said Rinehart.)

— EPA puts 139 employees on leave over ‘declaration of dissent’ letter. I did far more than sign a dissent letter. GAO audits IRS. When I was 40 years old in 1988, I became an active member in a class action lawsuit that charged my GAO superiors with reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation. They had unofficially thrown me off audits of IRS because I had complained about their political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination. They had kept me off audits 1980-1985. They had forced the GAO manager to retire in 1987 who had hired me in 1980 and who had finally been able to assign me to audits of IRS and to promote me in 1986. They had delayed my promotions and forced me to take a $23,472/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980. To punish me, they officially threw me off audits of IRS in late 1988, gave me a very bad job assignment, gave me very unfair performance expectations, gave me a very unfair performance appraisal, ranked me at the bottom of my coworkers for pay for performance, and even worse things. I should write about the aforesaid.

They have always hinted/implied/argued/shouted that I had to work my way through college because my GPA was not high enough to get student loans let alone scholarships. I had only just barely made it into the upper 20% of my high school class. My ACT score was only 24. In my defense, my GPA was lower because of instead of studying, I had worked far too many hours during my junior and seniors washing dishes to earn money for UIC expenses and to buy a new car to get to/from UIC classes and my parents’ home in Crete.

MILWAUKEE JOURNAL SENTENIEL
— Oconomowoc Rotary reverses course after planning nonpolitical July 4 parade. My critics/opponents have always vehemently opposed Republican participation in Wheaton’s Independence Day parades. I should write about them. They have always had lots of religious, government, political, and/or financial clout in Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois. I would focus on those who have had their operatives and their dupes take the most/biggest adverse actions against me lately.
https://www.jsonline.com/story/communities/west/2025/06/11/oconomowoc-rotary-reverses-course-nonpolitical-july-4-parade/84148448007/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: After intending to make this year’s Fourth of July parade a nonpolitical event, the Rotary Club of Oconomowoc reversed course after a local Republican state representative expressed outrage. The Rotary initially planned to have a parade without partisan messaging, with an opportunity for politicians to meet with constituents after the parade. In a June 11 statement, the Board of Directors clarified that all political parties and representatives may fully participate in the July 4 parade, “as has been our longstanding tradition.” In the original plan, politicians were encouraged to participate in three ways, the board said: Walking with the city’s official float, joining a community organization they’re involved in or creating a nonpolitical float with friends and family. The club also said politicians were welcome to gather at the Village Green after the parade for a “special moment of unity” featuring the University of Wisconsin Marching Band, which is still scheduled to occur. “Unfortunately, our intentions were widely misunderstood, and the proposed approach caused considerable frustration and concern within the community. We deeply regret that our message was not clear and led to any confusion or disappointment,” the statement read. The debate began June 9 when the club announced it planned to host a nonpolitical event, in part because the city is marking its 150th anniversary. A signup page for participants notes the parade isn’t hosting political acts this year, “but we look forward to inviting them for the 2026 parade.” “Our aim remains to create a universally enjoyable atmosphere where Oconomowoc’s legacy and community unity can shine brightly, unimpeded by partisan elements,” the club wrote on Facebook. The policy elicited split responses on Facebook, and the club limited comments after more than 350 responses. Some residents and conservative talk radio hosts decried exclusion of anyone from the parade, while others appreciated the Rotary’s decision and said political divisiveness would detract from the festivities. State Rep. Barbara Dittrich, a Republican who represents Oconomowoc in the state Assembly, called the Rotary’s decision “bewildering” in a June 10 statement and said it deliberately excluded state and federal elected officials. Dittrich argued her family “is a dedicated, ingrained part of Oconomowoc’s rich history, dating back to the 1950’s, a third or more of the 150 years being celebrated within this parade.” “Walking in the Oconomowoc parade is not political; It continues my personal ethos of service, greeting all of the wonderful people I serve, no matter who they are or what their personal beliefs,” Dittrich wrote in part, urging the Rotary to reverse its decision. “We have listened intently to your feedback, and we fully recognize the importance of traditional parade participation to many of our local politicians and constituents alike,” the Rotary said in the new statement. In a June 11 message to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, club president Bonnie Lewis-Tschannen said “what’s been unfolding is beyond reason.” “Perhaps the most absurd claim is that we were somehow targeting or banning only Republicans. That is simply not true, and it’s incredibly disheartening to see the narrative twisted this way,” Lewis-Tschannen wrote. Other communities have moved to limit political participation in parades, including Middleton in 2022 after Republican candidates lodged complaints that only incumbents, who were all Democrats in the area, could participate. And rules against campaigning at Waukesha’s July 4 parade drew conservative scrutiny after former Republican U.S. Senate candidate Eric Hovde was told he couldn’t participate, while a Democratic congressional candidate could. Oconomowoc’s Independence Day Parade begins at 5 p.m. July 4, starting at West Wisconsin Avenue and Concord Road and ending at the Oconomowoc Police Station.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: The Grand County Republicans are getting ready for Independence Day. The day begins with a parade down Granby’s Main Street at 11 a.m. After the parade, the Republicans will have a table at the Party in the Park at Polhamus Park for community members to stop by. On July 7, the party will hold its monthly meeting in Kremmling. The meeting is at 404 Park Ave from 6:30-8 p.m. Dinner is sponsored by Rebecca Guthrie. There is no virtual option at the meeting, and party members are encouraged to attend in person and get to know each other. This event will be less formal, with a 20-minute discussion inside (please bring a chair), then time outside to mingle. For September, the Republicans are looking ahead to Constitution Week in Grand Lake. The patriotic celebration takes place from Sept. 15-21. Volunteers are planning to participate in the parade and have a table at the event. A schedule of events will be announced.)

— Federal Hiring Office Walks Back Essay Questions for New Hires. For Democrats, the federal government exists to hire, retain, and promote Democrats. The Democrats who ran GAO in 1980, IRS in 1971, and the Post Office in 1966 hired me because they could not find a qualified Democrat who was minority, female, younger, and/or veteran who would take the job. They gambled and lost that I would become a Democrat. Because of that, they wasted my career and forced me to retire when I was 49 years old in 1997.

Because I am all of the aforesaid and because I complained about their discrimination, my Democrat superiors in the federal government were able to take many adverse actions against me. 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, kept me off audits of IRS for all but 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for GAO, and forced me to take a $23,472/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980. My Democrat IRS superiors never promoted me beyond GS-12, disallowed my education deductions in 1978, and disallowed my travel vouchers in 1974. My Democrat Post Office superiors forced me to resign in 1969 and disallowed my sick leave requests in 1969 and 1968.

I had 25 years of CSRS service when I was 45 in 1993. That made me eligible for early retirement then. My Democrat GAO superiors wanted me to retire big time, but I survived for 4 years. I became a Certified Government Financial Manager in 1994, Financial Services Auditor in 1996, and Forensic Accountant in 1997. I completed the requirements for a master’s degree in financial markets and trading from IIT in 1997. But, my Democrat GAO superiors succeeded in forcing me to take their early retirement “offer” on September 30, 1997, the last day that it was available. If I had not taken it, I would not have been eligible to retire until I was 55 in 2003. They had made it extremely clear that that those 6 years would have been a living hell for me. They would demote me, give me adverse transfers, unfair performance expectations, unfair performance appraisals. etc. GAO was not unionized. I should write about the aforesaid. – Dave Diersen

AMAC
— At least seven U.S. professions have mandatory retirement ages, some as young as 57. To that end, should members of Congress have a mandatory retirement age? Constructively, if not literally, the mandatory retirement age is 55 and 30 years of service for federal employees in the Civil Service Retirement System (CSRS) who are Republican, White, male, non-veteran, Protestant, German American, and/or have ancestors who have been in America for a long time. I had 25 years of CSRS service when I was 45 in 1993. That made me eligible for early retirement then. My Democrat GAO superiors wanted me to retire big time, but I survived for 4 years. I became a Certified Government Financial Manager in 1994, Financial Services Auditor in 1996, and Forensic Accountant in 1997. I completed the requirements for a master’s degree in financial markets and trading from IIT in 1997. But, my Democrat GAO superiors succeeded in forcing me to take their early retirement “offer” on September 30, 1997, the last day that it was available. If I had not taken it, I would not have been eligible to retire until I was 55 in 2003. They had made it extremely clear that that those 6 years would have been a living hell for me. They would demote me, give me adverse transfers, unfair performance expectations, unfair performance appraisals. etc. GAO was not unionized. I should write about the aforesaid.

WALL STREET JOURNAL
— How I Lost My Career and Started Delivering Mail. No one expects to have to start over from the bottom rung at age 50. But when the pandemic struck, marketing professional Stephen Starring Grant rose to the challenge. (COMMENT: I worked for the Park Forest Post Office 1966-1969, part-time while I took classes at UIC 1966-1968 and at NIU in 1969 and full-time during the summers of 1967, 1968, and 1969. My Democrat superiors forced me to resign in September of 1969 falsely arguing that I would not be available to work enough part-time hours. I was available every Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday, holiday, and every day that NIU was not in session. They would not have forced me to resign if I had been a Democrat, minority, female, or veteran.)
https://www.wsj.com/lifestyle/careers/how-i-lost-my-career-and-started-delivering-mail-c238d934
(FROM THE ARTICLE: I was being laid off. My skill set was not particularly practical; I wasn’t a cardiologist or a plumber. My work in the two decades before the pandemic had a bunch of names—Brand Strategist, Marketing Consultant, Consumer Psychologist—but getting a new marketing job was going to be a near impossibility for the foreseeable future. It was certainly never going to happen before my health insurance ran out in a couple of weeks. Which was a problem, because a couple of months earlier I had been diagnosed with prostate cancer. My cancer was as benign as cancer gets, but what had seemed manageable, treatable, now loomed as an existential issue. Not to mention that I was a husband and a father of two teenage girls, who counted on me to keep them in the upper middle class. To get unemployment, I had to be actively searching for a new job. I would go on the Virginia Employment Commission website, find anything I was even remotely qualified for and apply. I lived in Blacksburg, the small town in far western Virginia where I’d grown up, but the jobs I’d find myself applying to were almost all in Northern Virginia. Locally, there was nothing. Except for a job as a part-time letter carrier with the U.S. Postal Service. It paid $18.50 an hour, and it came with healthcare on day one. The pay cut was eye-watering: I hadn’t worked a job at that wage level since my early 20s. But I would definitely enjoy working outdoors for a change—and independently. Some people give up after things happen to them. Others get back up, over and over again. We think of this as a strength, as grit, determination, willpower. This kind of toughness has always struck me as essential to the Appalachian character. If you get laid off or shot, or people yell at you and call you an idiot or tell you that you’ll never amount to a goddamned thing, don’t think about it. Just get back up and try again. After two weeks of training, I was assigned to fill in for the regular mailman on Rural Route 3, a monster 60 miles in length, with 724 deliveries. The whole middle section of the route, a long slide downhill to the river, was so remote that it received no cellphone service. I might as well have been delivering the mail in 1920 and not 2020. . .Did I believe I was a mailman? I was lousy at my job, still very stuck on how slow I was. I saw myself as a faker being chased by the clock. But I got better over the months to come. There were days when the mail was light and the weather good and delivering the mail was the best of all possible jobs, the work a joy, the solitude a gift. I knew I was never going to be great at it, in the way that I will never be an NFL quarterback or play electric guitar like Eddie Van Halen. I delivered the mail for a year before I found a new job in marketing, and the best grade I ever deserved was a solid B-/C+. Even with that I think my greatest accomplishment was not quitting. And yet, somewhere in those early months, change did come. Letter by letter I was learning. I got tougher. I became capable of delivering everything that I loaded into my truck in the morning. The economics of delivering the mail were unsentimental—paying for my mortgage and groceries cost more than I was bringing in. But out there on Route 3 the job became more than just a financial delaying tactic. I was inhabiting something real, feeling what it was like to be there for people. I had become a mailman.)

https://hoodline.com/2025/06/subcommittee-debates-potential-erosion-of-meritocracy-by-dei-initiatives/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Recent discussions at a Subcommittee on Health Care and Financial Services hearing have sparked controversy over the impact and intention of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives. The critical focus of the hearing, titled “Sacrificing Excellence for Ideology: The Real Cost of DEI,” examined the assertion that these progressive policies potentially erode the foundation of meritocracy and individualism within several sectors, including education, government, and the workforce. According to a release by the subcommittee, members discussed possibilities of following former President Trump’s lead to foster what they view as genuine equality, based on individual effort and merit.)

— Republican elected officials should reform government agencies. If Gingrich had reformed GAO instead of gutting it, DOGE would not be needed. If Gingrich had reformed GAO, I might still be a GAO employee. The Democrats who ran GAO during the 1980s and 1990s would not have wasted my career and forced me to retire when I was 49 years old in 1997. They would not have wasted what I learned working for GAO for almost 18 years and for IRS for almost 9 years before that. They would not have wasted what I learned earning six professional certifications and a professional license. They would not have wasted what I learned earning three master’s degrees. They would not have always ranked in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance. They would not have delayed my promotions and never promoted me beyond GS-13. They would have always assigned me to audits of IRS. They would not have forced me to take a $23,472/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO. – Dave Diersen

On my father’s side they worked in a brick factory in Chicago for 10 years and then homesteaded a farm in southeast Crete Township in 1854. On my mother’s side, they sharecropped a farm in Grant Park along the Indiana border.

The Democrats who ran GAO during the 1980s and 1990s would not have wasted my career and forced me to retire when I was 49 years old in 1997. They would not have wasted what I learned working for GAO for almost 18 years and for IRS for almost 9 years before that. They would not have wasted what I learned earning six professional certifications and a professional license. They would not have wasted what I learned earning three master’s degrees. They would not have always ranked in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance. They would not have delayed my promotions and never promoted me beyond GS-13. They would have always assigned me to audits of IRS. They would not have forced me to take a $23,472/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO.

(FROM THE POSTING: Vietnam veterans are generally treated with more respect and gratitude today than they were upon their initial return from the war. While some faced hostility and indifference initially, there’s been a significant shift in public perception and appreciation for their service. However, many Vietnam veterans still struggle with the long-term effects of their service, including PTSD and physical health issues related to Agent Orange exposure.)

CAPITOL NEWS ILLINOIS
— No one wants bad jobs. Because all the jobs that I had were viewed as being bad jobs, all my superiors had a hard time recruiting and retaining qualified minorities and females. Because of Affirmative Action and DEI, qualified minorities and females could get better jobs elsewhere. Consequently, my superiors ever-increasingly a) lowered their hiring, retention, and promotion standards and b) gave their minority and female employees more preference. That ever-increasingly rendered worthless my job-related bachelor’s degree, my three job-related master’s degrees, my six job-related professional certifications, and my job-related professional license. It all culminated in my superiors replacing me with my Black subordinate when I was 49 years old in 1997. He had less work experience than I had, less education than I had, one professional certification while I had six, and no professional license like the one I had.

— Judge rules Trump cannot end union bargaining for federal workers. My critics/opponents are vehemently anti-union. I was a union member for almost 12 years. According to my critics/opponents, during those almost 12 years, my salary would not have increased from $19.37/hour to $112,280/year in today’s dollars if I had not been a union member. In my defense, during those almost 12 years, I earned a bachelor’s degree in management from NIIU. I earned an MBA from Loyola. I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt. I almost completed the requirements for a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul.

— Pathways to the Middle Class: Balancing Personal and Public Responsibilities. What were your circumstances at your birth? 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 he died suddenly when he was 47 and I was 21. He almost always worked second jobs to pay the family’s bills. My mother never attended high school. I had to and I did work my way through college. But according to my critics/opponents, I was able to earn a bachelor’s degree and three master’s degrees, earn six professional certifications, and earn a professional license because I benefitted tremendously from discrimination against those who do not share my demographics, that is, I benefitted tremendously from discrimination against minorities, females, younger people, non-Protestants, non-German Americans, and/or those whose ancestors had not been in America for a long time.

Democrat leaders were overjoyed when my Democrat GAO superiors forced me to retire and replaced me in 1997 with my Democrat Black subordinate who had less work experience than I had, had less education than I had, had one professional certification while I had six, and had no professional license like the one I had. It is called patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination.

(FROM THE ARTICLE: The truth is, government doesn’t work without the professionals who show up every day to serve the public. Effectiveness depends on more than elected officials or public leaders. It requires the daily efforts of those working quietly behind the scenes. Their roles are rarely glamorous or celebrated, yet they perform them diligently because they believe in something bigger than themselves.

THE HILL
— The NextGen Bar Exam is DEI in action, dangerously lowering standards. Every time that Democrat and RINO leaders lower standards, my having done the following means more. I passed the CPA and Certified Internal Auditor examinations on my first attempt. I became a licensed CPA. I earned four more job-related professional certifications. I earned three job-related master’s degrees. I earned a job-related bachelor’s degree.
https://thehill.com/opinion/education/5359119-the-nextgen-bar-exam-is-dei-in-action-dangerously-lowering-standards/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The American legal profession is in crisis, and the NextGen Bar Exam is the latest symptom of a disease that’s rapidly metastasizing: the abandonment of merit in favor of ideological box-checking. For decades, the bar exam was the last line of defense — a rigorous filter ensuring that only those with real legal chops could represent the public. Today, that filter is being shredded, sacrificed on the altar of equity and inclusion. The result? A collapse in standards, the death of meritocracy, and a profession on the brink of irrelevance. The NextGen Bar Exam, set to roll out in 2026, is not about modernizing legal education or making better lawyers. It is about making the exam easier to pass. Out go the demanding essays and complex legal analysis; in come more multiple-choice questions and “practical” scenarios that test little more than common sense and the ability to regurgitate buzzwords. The new mantra is “minimal competence,” a phrase so hollow as to be meaningless. The new system benefits neither clients, who deserve skilled and well-prepared advocates, nor the public, who depend on lawyers to guide them through a complex legal system. The only winners are bureaucrats and activists obsessed with “equity.” And even then, this is not to say that the new bar somehow guarantees equality of opportunity. Rather, it tries to force equality of outcome, no matter how much the universal bar must be lowered in the process. In truth, the NextGen Bar Exam is DEI ideology in action. By blaming the bar exam itself, rather than differences in preparation or effort, for unequal pass rates among various groups, the legal establishment has chosen to lower the standards until everyone passes. This is neither fairness nor justice, but the soft bigotry of low expectations, institutionalized. DEI has become a Trojan horse, smuggling mediocrity into the heart of the legal profession. Instead of demanding that all aspiring lawyers rise to meet high standards, the system now bends over backward to ensure that the standards themselves are erased. The message is clear: merit is out, identity is in. The legal profession was once a meritocracy. It didn’t matter where you came from or what you looked like — if you could master the law, you could make it. That’s what made American law great — it consisted of the best and brightest, tested and proven. Now, that ideal is being tossed aside. The NextGen Bar Exam is just the latest example, following major formatting changes to the LSAT to “reduce anxiety” and the proliferation of alternative “pathways” to licensure that bypass rigorous testing altogether. This isn’t just a legal education problem. It is a societal problem. When we stop rewarding excellence and start rewarding box-checking, we get a weaker, less competent, and less trustworthy profession. As a result, we end up with lawyers who lack essential skills in writing, reasoning, and effective advocacy, in turn, undermining the credibility of our justice system. If this trend continues, the outcome is inevitable: Clients will find themselves represented by lawyers who only managed to pass a watered-down exam. Our courts will be overwhelmed by incompetence, and the already fragile reputation of the legal profession will deteriorate further. Those who will suffer most are everyday Americans — people who need legal help, not just a participation trophy. The legal profession must wake up before it’s too late. Reform is acceptable and necessary when things are made better. But what’s happening now is not reform, it is surrender. Surrender to ideology and mediocrity. Surrender to the idea that the only way to achieve “equity” is to undermine true merit. The NextGen Bar Exam is a disaster in the making. It is time for lawyers, judges, educators, and the public to speak out and demand a return to merit, rigor, and excellence. The fate of the legal profession and the trust of those it serves now hang in the balance.)

— APRIL 3, 2015 FLASHBACK: Would the government have hired you in 1956? IRS offered me a job when I was 22 years old in 1971 because I had taken and passed the Federal Service Entrance Examination in 1970. IRS would have offered me the job sooner if I had been a veteran.
https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/federal-eye/wp/2015/04/03/would-the-government-have-hired-you-in-1956/
(FROM TRHE ARTICLE: The old civil service exam was introduced in 1955, a proctored, pencil-and-paper test that thousands of Americans took each year to get federal jobs. It was called the Federal Service Entrance Examination. A brochure called “Futures in the Federal Government” opened with these words: “Wanted: People of Promise” and urged Americans to take the exam. Starting salaries were listed at $4,040. The civil service exam is making a comeback. The old test was eventually thrown out after legal challenges found that it discriminated against minority groups, who did poorly.)

— APRIL 7, 2015 FLASHBACK: U.S. Government Brings Back Civil Service Exams after 34-Year Gap. IRS offered me a job when I was 22 years old in 1971 because I had taken and passed the Federal Service Entrance Examination in 1970. IRS would have offered me the job sooner if I had been a veteran.

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Joining the federal workforce these days can involve doing something other federal workers haven’t had to do since the early 1980s: take a test. The federal government abolished the civil service exam in 1981 following multiple discrimination lawsuits that claimed the test was biased against minorities. But with so many people applying to become federal employees, some agencies decided to bring back the civil service exam, albeit in a much newer and modern format that tries to avoid being unfair to blacks and Hispanics. About 10% of would-be bureaucrats at three dozen government agencies—including the departments of Defense, Justice, and Health and Human Services—will take the USA Hire test that utilizes “animated avatars and videos to simulate challenges that could confront employees, testing their reasoning and problem-solving skills,” Lisa Rein wrote at The Washington Post. “Advances in technology allow the tests to scale questions; a correct answer leads to a harder question and an incorrect one ratchets down to an easier option. Scoring is instantaneous, an advance that can quickly winnow the pool of applicants,” Rein said. The test is designed to gauge an applicant’s general aptitude as well as teamwork, problem solving, judgment and specific job skills. Civil service exams originated in 1955 as the Federal Service Entrance Examination. At that time, starting salaries for federal employment were $4,040.)

— Push comes to shove. Anticipate/expect that when push comes to shove, many, most, virtually all, if not all of your supporters will dump you. I should write about my supporters who dumped me when my critics/opponents had their operatives and their dupes a) defeat my candidacy for Milton Township Republican Organization Treasurer in 2004, b) end my Illinois Center Right Coalition Steering Committee membership in 2007, c) end my TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois chairmanship in 2012, d) gerrymander my precinct 2015, e) end my service as the Republican fundraiser for Wheaton Independence Day parades and fireworks in 2021, and f) end my membership on the Illinois Republican Party State Convention Platform and Resolutions Committee in 2024. I would focus on those who read my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters and who I have done the most to help elect and to reelect since 2000. I would focus on those who blame me the most for their defeats.
