CRAIN’S CHICAGO BUSINESS
— Argonne and Fermi may dodge DOGE budget cuts. GAO’s Chicago office was not able to dodge Gingrich’s GAO budget cuts. My Democrat GAO superiors punished me severely for that. They forced me to retire when I was 49 years old in 1997. Previously, they always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance. They delayed my promotions and never promoted me beyond GS-13. They kept me off audits of IRS for all but 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for GAO. The forced me to take a $23,472 (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980.

According to my critics/opponents, when those who have demographics that vote for Republicans do better than those who have demographics that vote for Democrats, it because Republicans discriminate against Democrats.

— Having rich parents trumps hard work. Because my parents had enough money to send me to Missouri Lutheran Synod grade schools, my critics/opponents have always demonized them and me as being filthy rich. But my father never made more than $50,000 a year in today’s dollars. He almost always worked second jobs to pay the family’s bills. I had to work my way through college.

ABC7
— 20 Democratic-led states sued the Trump administration on Monday for withholding more than $6 billion in federal funds for several education programs nationwide. Many low-income families will lose access to after-school programs if the money isn’t released soon. What did you do while you were in high school? During my freshman and sophomore years, I did yard work. During all 4 years, I delivered newspapers. During my junior and senior years, I washed dishes.

NBC5
— These Republicans could challenge Gov. JB Pritzker’s reelection bid. The first day petitions can be submitted for the March primary will arrive early next month.
https://www.nbcchicago.com/news/local/chicago-politics/these-republicans-could-challenge-gov-jb-pritzkers-reelection-bid/3789070/
https://www.nbcchicago.com/news/local/video-republican-field-takes-shape-to-oppose-pritzker-reelection-bid/3789117/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: So far, DuPage County Sheriff James Mendrick and businessman Joe Severino have announced they intend to run for the Republican gubernatorial nomination, but they could be joined by several others, including Rep. Darin LaHood, who is weighing options between a bid for the governor’s mansion or the U.S. Senate seat being vacated by Sen. Dick Durbin. His team told NBC Chicago Political Reporter Mary Ann Ahern that he is still weighing his options ahead of the Aug. 5 start of the petition season. Aaron Del Mar, former lieutenant governor candidate and the chairman of the Cook County Republican Party, is also weighing a potential run, and he says he sees a path forward for any candidate seeking to deny Pritzker a third term in office. “There is a strong donor base, but you just need to talk to them and convince them that this state is worth investing in,” he said. “There are some concerns about running against the richest elected official in the United States. Illinois is worth saving, and worth investing in, and somebody needs to put Illinois first, and our campaign will display that same motto in action.” Ted Dabrowski, president of the media outlet Wirepoints, which focuses on economic and government issues in Illinois, is also considering a run, reaching out to donors as part of that effort, according to Ahern’s reporting.)
— Who has the advantage in the race for Dick Durbin’s Senate seat?  Three Democrats are vying for the seat, while the Republican primary remains largely up in the air. One could compare and contrast the Illinois Republican U.S. Senate 2004 primary ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2004_United_States_Senate_election_in_Illinois ) with the 2026 primary. All five announced candidates  (John Cox, Chirinjeev Kathuria, Andrew McKenna, Jim Oberweis, and  Jack Ryan) walked in Wheaton’s 2003 Independence Day parade and then attended a picnic in the Prairie Path Park in my precinct. My critics/opponents were not only furious that Ryan won the primary instead of their candidate McKenna, they blamed me for McKenna’s defeat. I was not only the GOPUSA Illinois Editor, I was also an officer of the Illinois Center Right Coalition and TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois. Neither organization endorsed McKenna. Ryan withdrew after he won the primary and then the Illinois Republican Party State Central Committee replaced him with Alan Keyes who lost to Obama.
https://www.nbcchicago.com/news/local/who-has-the-advantage-in-the-race-for-dick-durbins-senate-seat/3789209/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: On the other side of the aisle, several names have been floated on the Republican side to run for Durbin’s Senate seat. Insiders said Richard Porter is considering a bid. Porter’s largely been behind the scenes, working as a suburban attorney and former Republican national committeeman. He also worked for former President George W Bush’s administration as a domestic policy adviser to the president and counselor to former Vice President Dan Quayle. U.S. Rep. Darin LaHood is also eyeing the Senate race, but he would have to give up his congressional seat to do so. He has also been rumored to be eyeing a run for Illinois governor, but will make his decision in coming weeks. The last Illinois Republican to serve in the Senate was Mark Kirk. He lost re-election to Duckworth in 2016.)

https://www.chicagotribune.com/2025/07/15/wheaton-seven-gables-home/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: This 1897 Wheaton property built by architect Jarvis Hunt is called the House of Seven Gables and was commissioned as a wedding gift by Chicago steel magnate Jay Morse. Later known as the Loretto Convent, the mansion has a Tudor facade, hand-carved woodwork and seven distinctive gables. In 2017, the entire 10,000-square-foot, 730-ton structure was relocated 500 feet and placed on a new foundation. The house now has modern infrastructure, all-new mechanicals, including zoned central heating and air conditioning, and public utilities. In the Loretto subdivision, the home has seven bedrooms, six full bathrooms, one half-bath and a newly built, attached three-car garage. There is also an unfinished lower level with 10-foot ceilings.)

USA TODAY
— Reasons why you’re not getting promoted. Democrats run the federal government. My Democrat superiors delayed my promotions and never promoted me beyond GS-13 not only because I refused to become a Democrat, but because I ever-increasingly complained about their political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination.
https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/2025/06/30/5-mistakes-preventing-promotion/84376177007/
— Should I take a buyout. My Democrat GAO superiors always wanted to get rid of me and my coworkers who shared my demographics. In 1993, when I was 45 years old, they “offered” those like me who had 25 or more years of federal service a $25,000 buyout if we retired early. They succeeded in forcing me to retire 4 years later just before their “offer” expired. I would not have been eligible for regular retirement for another 6 years. Beyond the tremendous negative financial impact of being forced to retire early, it gives your critics/opponents something very big to use against you. They will hint/imply/argue/shout that the real reason why you were forced to retire early is that you are a bad person. Further, the more qualifications that you have, the more that they will hint/imply/argue/shout that the real reason why you were forced to retire early is that you are a bad person. When my Democrat GAO superiors forced me to retire, I had three job-related master’s degrees, six job-related professional certifications, and a job-related professional license.
https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/2025/06/28/jobs-buyout-layoffs-recession-economy-tips/84383588007/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: You’ve been offered a buyout. Your employer wants to pay you to quit. It’s a big chunk of change. Should you accept? Companies offer buyouts to thin the ranks, spending money in the short term to save money in the long run. Employers often leverage buyouts to avoid layoffs. And that thought, alone, should give you pause. The Trump administration offered buyouts to the entire federal workforce this year, aiming to reduce it by as much as 10%. Roughly 75,000 workers accepted.)

POLITICO ILLINOIS
— Republicans lining up against Pritzker
https://www.politico.com/newsletters/illinois-playbook/2025/07/14/republicans-lining-up-against-pritzker-00450761
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A few Republicans are looking to get in the ring. Ted Dabrowski and Aaron Del Mar are testing the waters, speaking with GOP insiders and potential donors about mounting campaigns. They would face DuPage County Sheriff James Mendrick, who’s already jumped in, and Joseph Severino who’s posted in social media that he’s running, too. Darren Bailey, who challenged Pritzker in 2024, hasn’t made any decisions yet about 2026. Jeanne Ives, who ran in 2018, says she’s not running. And though state Rep. Dan Ugaste and Posen Park District Supervisor Phil Perez toyed with the idea, neither will run for governor in 2026. Mendrick, a law-and-order candidate, has raised just $127,000 since he announced in February, according to filings with the state. Dabrowski and Del Mar, who are better known around the state for their work in policy and politics, would likely have an easier time raising funds. Del Mar is recognized in party circles across the state as he’s a former co-chair of the Illinois GOP and current Cook County Republican chair who ran as lieutenant governor alongside Gary Rabine in 2022. Dabrowski is president of Wirepoints Corp., the conservative-leaning media company. While he lacks campaign experience, he’s a former banking executive and policy wonk whose fiscal message could resonate at a time of economic uncertainty. Severino has made two unsuccessful bids for Congress, first as a Republican and then as an Independent. Along with the money challenge, messaging will be an issue for GOP candidates as Pritzker and his Democratic Party will blame Republicans and President Donald Trump for the megabill that’s giving tax breaks to the wealthy and cutting Medicaid and food assistance programs. . .Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders held a fundraiser in Barrington the other day at the home of Rick and Alisa Heidner. Among the attendees were Illinois Congressman Darin LaHood, Iowa Attorney General Brenna Bird, state Sen. Andrew Chesney, political strategist Brett Corrigan, businessman and 2022 GOP gubernatorial candidate Gary Rabine, possible 2026 gubernatorial candidate Aaron Del Mar, Illinois National Republican Committee member Dean White, former Chicago GOP Chair Eloise Gerson and McHenry County Clerk Joe Tirio.)

— Cleared to Lay Off Workers, Some Federal Agencies Find Many Already Left. Thousands of workers in government jobs have taken buyouts or retired early. Many say morale is low. Ever-increasingly, after I transferred from IRS to GAO when I was 31 year old in 1980, my Democrat GAO superiors made I ever-increasingly clear that they wanted to get rid of me because I refused to become a Democrat. Nevertheless, to thwart their ever-increasing efforts to get rid of me, a) I earned a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980, b) I passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981, c) I became a licensed CPA in 1981, d) I earned four more job-related professional certifications in 1990, 1994, 1996, and 1997, and e) I earned a master’s degree in financial markets and trading from IIT in 1997. However, that was not enough. They succeeded in forcing me to retire when I was 49 years old in 1997. I should write about the aforesaid.

— The Federal Government Is Retreating From Student Lending. Did you get a student loan? I did not even try. Did you get any scholarships? I did not even apply. I was not viewed as being college material. My ACT score was only 24. I only just barely made it into the upper 20% of my class. Neither of my parents attended college. My father was only the first of my ancestors to earn a high school diploma. My mother had never attended high school. I could not run because I had a bone disease. My eyesight could not be corrected to 20/20. I had partial red/green color blindness. I spent my junior and senior years and the summer in between washing dishes. My critics/opponents have always stressed the aforesaid.

— Tough questions to ask your boss. My Democrat superiors in the federal government made it clear that to keep your job, you not only had to be a Democrat, you had to a) defend and advance the Democrat Party platform, most importantly, its race and gender based preference giving plank and b) help them get rid of their Republican employees. In retrospect, with benefit of hindsight, I am amazed that I survived for almost 3 years at the Post Office, for almost 9 years at IRS, and for almost 18 years at GAO. I would not have survived if I had not earned a job-related bachelor’s degree, three job related master’s degrees, six job-related professional certifications, and a job-related professional license.

(FROM THE ARTICLE: A rowdy crowd of 5,000 Gen Z Republican organizers rattled the Tampa Convention Center Saturday night with their support for President Donald Trump’s deportation policies. While the president’s handling of the Jeffrey Epstein investigation split the event’s lineup of MAGA media stars, the young adults gathered for Turning Point USA’s Student Action Summit were united in their enthusiasm for their favorite Trump Cabinet celebrities. Border czar Tom Homan and Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem received what can only be called a hero’s welcome, with fans from across the country pressing to take a selfie, straining to get a MAGA hat signed and screaming as the White House’s top deportation authorities took the stage amid pyrotechnics and pounding music. “We’re on a mission to make this country safe again,” Homan shouted over the applause. “President Trump was elected for this issue.” And this is the issue Trump must continue to deliver on for the political grassroots if he hopes to keep his team of advisers and his most fervent supporters on board, said Turning Point president Charlie Kirk in an interview with the Deseret News.)

In any event, my Democrat GAO superiors would not have been able to a) force me to retire when I was 49 years old in 1997, b) always rank me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance, c) keep me off audits of IRS for all but 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for GAO, d) delay my promotions and never promote me beyond GS-13, and e) force me to take a $23,472/year (21%) pay cut to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980.

— 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.

GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— Democrat leaders are extremely divisive. They ever-increasingly divide those who have demographics that vote for Democrats against those who have demographics that vote for Republicans. Democrats are predominately liberal, minority, female, younger, unmarried, poor, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or have ancestors who have not been in America for a long time. 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. – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com
— Democrat elected officials ever-increasingly pass laws to get rid of Republicans. 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. That is why Republicans who are the following are ever-increasingly leaving Illinois, DuPage County, Milton Township, and Wheaton. The Democrat Party platform promotes poverty and crime. – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com
— What do you think of pensioners? My critics/opponent despise/hate pensioners. In my defense, my Civil Service Retirement System (CSRS) pension is only $66,780/year. 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

—  If you ran for an office, what would your critics/opponents rip you for? My critics/opponents would rip me for my avoiding the Vietnam War draft, for my giving up trying to have children, for my being a federal employee for almost 30 years, for my being a federal retiree for almost 28 years, for my being too conservative, etc. They would stress the many big adverse actions that they had their operatives and their dupes take against me. I should write about my critics/opponents. I would focus on past and present leaders of the Milton Township Republican Organization, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Illinois Republican Party, b) Republican leaders of Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois, c) Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct, d) conservative leaders, and e) religious leaders. – Dave Diersen

—  What have been your biggest challenges in life? Mine include my surviving for almost 30 years the ever-increasing efforts by my Democrat superiors in the federal government to waste my career and to get of me. That motivated me to earn a job-related bachelor’s degree in 1970, job-related master’s degrees in 1976, 1980, and 1997, job-related professional certifications in 1979, 1981, 1990, 1994, 1996, and 1997, and a job-related professional license in 1981. – Dave Diersen

They all will constructively, if not literally, officially announce that they have always been anti-religious, anti-conservative, and/or anti-Republican. They will constructively, if not literally, take credit for having their operatives and their dupes take big adverse actions against me. My critics/opponents reject the personal responsibility, traditional marriage and family, right to life, immigration, illegal drugs, Second Amendment, and/or equal opportunity planks in the Republican Party platform. In addition to being anti-religious, anti-conservative, and/or anti-Republican, they are anti-White, anti-male, anti-older people, anti-Protestant, anti-German American, and/or anti-those whose ancestors have been in America longer than their ancestors. 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 wrong doing, and/or who refuse to give them money. I should write about my critics/opponents. I would focus on the aforesaid who have had their operatives and their dupes take the most/biggest adverse actions against me lately. – Dave Diersen

— EPA union alleges political retaliation, Chicago workers put on leave after criticizing Trump. I did far more than criticize my Democrat GAO superiors. 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.

In 1993, when I was 45 years old, the Democrats who ran GAO used Gingrich budget cuts to “offer” $25,000 buyouts and early retirement to get rid of their older White male non-veteran employees who they had not promoted to GS-15, currently $163,749-$180,974/year. 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. If I had not succumbed, I would not have been eligible for regular retirement until 2003.

(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.)

— 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.

— Civil service provisions removed from Senate reconciliation bill. If you are a federal employee, the more of the following that you are, the less that Civil Service provisions protect you: conservative, Republican, White, male, older, non-veteran, Protestant, German American, and/or if you have ancestors who have been in America for a long time. 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.
