— What are you thankful for? Among the many things that I am thankful for is my not having been born later than I was. Democrat and RINO leaders have ever-increasingly used Affirmative Action and DEI to require more preference to be given to those who do not share my demographics, that is, Democrat and RINO leaders have ever-increasingly required more political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, religious discrimination, and national origin discrimination. UIC accepted me when I was 18 in 1966, NIU when I was 20, Loyola when I was 23, DePaul when I was 27, and IIT when I was 43, but I doubt that they would admit me if I was those ages today. The Post Office hired me when I was 18, Firestone Stores when I was 21, IRS when I was 22, and GAO when I was 31, but I doubt that they would hire me if I was those ages today. The aforesaid education and jobs enabled me to earn professional certifications when I was 30, 32, 41, 45, 47, and 48, but I doubt that I could earn those professional certifications if I was those ages today. The aforesaid education and jobs enabled me to become a licensed CPA when I was 32, but I doubt that I could become a licensed CPA if I was 32 today. The aforesaid education and jobs enabled me to buy new cars when I was 17, 19, 20, 23, 25, and 29, to buy real estate when I was 24, 25, 27, 29, and 35, and to get married when I was 29, but I doubt that I could do the aforesaid if I was those ages today. – Dave Diersen

BREAKTHROUGH IDEAS
— DOGE IL DD: There would be no need for DOGE if Gingrich had reformed GAO instead of gutting it. If Gingrich had reformed GAO, I would have volunteered to help him. I was one of GAO’s extremely few Republican employees. I worked for the Democrats who ran GAO 1980-1997, the last 11 years of which at the GS-13 Step 1-10 Levels, currently $117,807-$153,151/year. I earned professional certifications in accounting in 1979, internal auditing in 1981, fraud examination in 1990, government financial management in 1994, financial services auditing in 1996, and forensic accounting in 1997. I became a licensed CPA in 1981. I earned master’s degrees in business in 1976, accounting in 1980, and finance in 1997. I would have shown Gingrich how my Democrat GAO superiors wasted my career because I was not a Democrat, minority, female, younger, or veteran. I would have shown Gingrich that GAO took adverse actions against me because he cut GAO’s budgets, because I complained about their political Affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination, and because I became an active member in a class action lawsuit in 1988 that charged them with the aforesaid.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YB1UWH165kA
— A sign featuring coded language threatening President Donald Trump and equating his supporters with Nazis greeted guests to an event last week headlined by Michigan Democrat gubernatorial front-runner Jocelyn Benson and U.S. Senate candidate Mallory McMorrow. The sign, displayed by local Democrats, said “MAGA=NAZI” and “86 47.” The number “86” originated in restaurants to mean “cancel” or “throw out,” but in underworld slang it is frequently used as a call sign for murdering someone. The number “47” is commonly interpreted as denoting the 47th president of the United States, Trump. Recently, when Trump foe James Comey posted to social media a cryptic photo featuring “86 47,” it was taken seriously enough that Secret Service investigated the matter.

— True financial independence. DD: My father died suddenly in 1969 when he was 47 and I was 21. My mother had never worked outside the home. My brother was having problems. I applied for a financial hardship draft deferment in 1970 and got it in 1971. I helped support my mother and brother until September of 1972 when I bought a new town home in University Park.
https://www.bizjournals.com/seattle/bizwomen/news/out-of-the-office/2025/10/the-next-chapter-true-independence.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: We all remember holding our breath for our 18th birthdays, believing that day would somehow give us the wings we needed to fly and mark our true independence. For some, that may be accurate, but many of us recognize true independence often comes years later. According to USA Today, 27 is the age parents expect their children to achieve financial independence. A recent study revealed that many parents feel this age strikes a balance between education, career building, and personal responsibility. Economic pressures such as student loans, inflated rents and stagnant wages have delayed financial independence for millions of millennials and Gen Z. Many parents continue to provide financial support for their children late into their twenties, often covering essentials like housing, healthcare, and transportation.)

To add insult to injury, they hint/imply/argue/shout a) that I have always been grossly overpaid and b) that my pension benefits are much too generous. I should write about my critics/opponents. I would focus on those who have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me lately. I would focus on those whose parents had the most money.

But nevertheless, all my coworkers who were promoted over me were Democrats a) who had less work experience than I had, had less education than I had, had no professional certifications or fewer than I had, and/or had no professional license like the one I had and/or b) were minority, female, younger, veteran, non-Protestant, non-German America, and/or had ancestors who had not been in America for a long time.

ILLINOIS REVIEW
— GOP Leader Norine Hammond Takes $50K from Liberal Groups Backing Transgender Lessons, Mask Mandates, Anti-Trump Agendas
https://www.illinoisreview.com/illinoisreview/2025/10/gop-leader-norine-hammond-takes-50k-from-liberal-groups-backing-transgender-lessons-mask-mandates-anti-trump-agendas.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Illinois State Representative and Deputy House Republican Leader Norine Hammond (R-Macomb) is drawing sharp criticism from conservatives after campaign finance records revealed she accepted $50,000 from far-left teachers’ unions that have long opposed Republican priorities and the Trump agenda. According to filings with the Illinois State Board of Elections, Hammond received $10,000 from the American Federation of Teachers (AFT) in 2024 and $40,000 from IPACE, the Illinois Political Action Committee for Education, in 2022. Both organizations are deeply connected to progressive causes, including transgender curriculum in schools, abortion expansion, and classroom DEI mandates. The donations are now fueling questions about Hammond’s alignment with the same liberal institutions her conservative constituents overwhelmingly reject. In 2024, roughly 70 percent of voters in her 94th District backed Donald Trump, signaling clear support for conservative and pro-family policies. Yet Hammond’s recent record tells a different story. In 2023, she voted with Democrats to expand “gender-affirming” patient rights legislation – allowing broader access to taxpayer-funded services for transgender individuals, including minors. The bill was celebrated by progressive activists and condemned by conservatives as an overreach that undermines parental rights and faith-based medical freedoms. The AFT, led by Randi Weingarten, was a driving force behind extended school shutdowns, student mask mandates, and the promotion of controversial and pornographic books in classrooms. The $40,000 from IPACE ties Hammond even closer to Springfield’s left-wing education establishment, which routinely funds Democrats pushing transgender policies, abortion rights, and the removal of parental oversight in schools.)

I would focus on those who destroy those like me a) who they cannot manipulate or dominate, b) who refuse to glorify and praise them, c) who refuse to pander to them, d) who refuse to serve as one of their operatives or dupes, e) who refuse to cover up their wrong doing, and/or e) who refuse to give them money.

https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2025/oct/15/news-organizations-including-hegseths-former-employer-fox-reject/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The Pentagon has said the rules establish “common sense media procedures” and wants news outlets to sign a statement acknowledging them, even if they don’t agree with them. The news outlets have said that they are concerned, however, that their reporters will be subject to expulsion if they simply try to report news not approved by Hegseth. The Pentagon’s new press policy undermines the First Amendment and AP’s core values as an independent global news organization,” the AP said in its statement. “The restrictions impede the public’s access to information about their government and limit the people’s right to know. AP remains focused on continuing to produce strong independent coverage of the Pentagon in the public interest.”)

It got worse in 1967 when I bought a new 1968 Oldsmobile 442 and in 1968 when I bought a new 1969 Dodge Charger SE.

— About those federal workers people so love to hate … Perhaps you just don’t know what they’re doing for you. DD: I was a federal employee for almost 30 years. I have been a federal retiree for more than 28 years. I should write about my critics/opponents who despise/hate federal employees and federal retirees the most.
https://www.startribune.com/about-those-federal-workers-people-so-love-to-hate/601225654
(FROM THE ARTICLE: I am tired of hearing about the federal workers of this country. They are lazy. They are overpaid. They are incompetent. There is no need for their work. For almost 40 years I have listened to this, and now I have to watch these workers be thrown from their jobs in the middle of the night. Why? Please meet a federal worker, my husband. He used his Bachelor of Science degree to work for the Department of Defense and then the National Weather Service. He worked jobs that required schedules of six days on and two days off, rotating shifts from midnights to days to evenings, and most holidays were worked. He didn’t get many weekends off, or holidays, but it didn’t matter because we never got to live near family. We moved a lot in support of the work. In our 40-plus years of marriage the closest we have ever lived near family was for the one year when we were within a three-hour drive of my family. Otherwise, family has been anywhere from 1,500 miles to 4,000 miles away. My husband could have taken a job in the private sector, working as an engineer as most of his friends did, where the paychecks would have been much greater. No, he was determined that his place was working to serve our government. So, for 40-plus years we have watched everyone around us celebrating holidays with family, enjoying weekends with family, and raking in the dollars of the private sector. We have kept our mouths shut when conversations turned to raking over the federal worker. No more!)
MONTGOMERY COMMUNITY MEDIA
— First of Its Kind Federal Workforce Career Center Opens in Wheaton. DD: My Democrat GAO superiors forced me to retire when I was 49 years old in 1997. In today’s dollars, that meant a $86,371/year (56%) loss of income ($153,151/year salary minus $66,780/year Civil Service Retirement System pension). My Democrat GAO superiors not only did not help me find a job appropriate for my work experience, education, professional certifications, and professional license, they sabotaged my job search. I should write about that.

EDUCATION NEXT
— The Predictive Power of Standardized Tests. DD: What standardized tests have you taken? If I had not taken and passed standardized tests, a) UIC would not accepted in 1966, NIU in 1969, Loyola in 1972, DePaul in 1976, and IIT in 1992, b) I would not have earned degrees from NIU in 1970, Loyola in 1976, DePaul in 1980, and IIT in 1997, c) the Post Office would not have hired me in 1966, Firestone Stores in 1970, IRS in 1971, and GAO in 1980, d) IRS would not have promoted me in 1972, 1973, and 1974, e) I would not have become a licensed CPA in 1981, and f) GAO would not have promoted me in 1986. I took and passed the postal employment examination in 1966, Federal Service Entrance Examination in 1970, CPA examination in 1979, and Certified Internal Auditor (CIA) examination in 1981. I passed the CPA and CIA examinations on my first attempt. Since 1966, my critics/opponents have hinted/implied/argued/shouted that I owe my test taking successes to my benefitting from discrimination against those who are minority, female, younger, veteran, LGBTQ, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or have ancestors who have not been in America for a long time. In my defense, neither of my parents attended college. My father was only the first of my ancestors to earn a high school diploma. My mother never attended high school. I had to work my way through college.

Kresge in Chicago Heights instead of studying. Consequently, my ACT score was only 24 and I only just barely made it into the upper 20% of my class.

USA TODAY
— How To Choose The Right College Major. DD: My biggest career mistake was not majoring in accounting from the beginning. I erroneously believed that because I was not strong in math, I could never pass the CPA examination. I did not start taking graduate evening accounting courses until I was 27 in 1976. I did not take and pass the CPA examination on my first attempt until I was 30. I did not earn a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul until I was 31. I did not take and pass the Certified Internal Auditor examination until I was 32. I did not become a licensed CPA until I was 32. By then, the accounting profession viewed me as being much too old. The accounting profession would not have done that if I had been a minority, female, and/or veteran.
https://www.usatoday.com/press-release/story/16252/how-to-choose-the-right-college-major-student-career-decision-guide/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Assessment first: Use personality tests, skills evaluations, and values assessments to understand natural strengths before picking a major. Research reality: Look beyond salary figures to examine job market trends, daily responsibilities, and long-term career satisfaction rates in chosen fields. Timing matters: The 15-25 age window offers optimal decision-making opportunities before life circumstances make career changes more difficult. Avoid pressure: Don’t let parental expectations, peer choices, or social media influence override personal interests and natural abilities. Get expert help: Professional career advice can provide structured guidance to help students make confident decisions within weeks rather than years of trial and error.)

All my ancestors immigrated from what is now Germany during the 1840s and 1850s. Their slow assimilation held them back. All my grandparents spoke German. My father was only the first of my ancestors to earn a high school diploma. My mother never attended high school.

— Who do your critics/opponents call losers? SEE: https://www.google.com/search?q=losers My critics/opponents call federal employees losers who are White, male, and/or nonveteran and who do not make 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 critics/opponents stress that I did not make GS-13 until I was 38 in 1986 and that I never made GS-14. In my defense, I stress that Democrats run the federal government and I never became a Democrat and a) that I did not earn job-related master’s degrees until I was 27, 31, and 48, b) that I did not earn job-related professional certifications until I was 30, 32, 41, 45, 47, and 48, and c) that I did not earn a job-related professional license until I was 32. Further, my critics/opponents call Republican Precinct Committeemen (RPC) losers who are White, male, and/or nonveteran and who not become township party leaders, county party leaders, and Illinois Republican Party leaders. Extremely few RPCs become party leaders. My critics/opponents stress that while I have been a RPC since 1999, I have never been a party leader. In my defense, I stress that I am a conservative, that is, that I am a platform Republican. – Dave Diersen

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Village Mayor Gary Grasso learned law enforcement was in the area looking for someone — and he happened to witness the arrest. “I was very glad to see my government taking care of the people in Burr Ridge and keeping us safe, which is our number one job as an elected official,” Grasso said. “And when people put bounties on immigration officials or ATF officials, I mean, those people should be put in jail, and we should be cooperating with the people doing their job to put them in jail. And it’s a shame that people don’t recognize that these dedicated law enforcement people are doing their job, and now there’s bounties on them.”)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Protests are planned for nine intersections on Roosevelt Road in Wheaton, Glen Ellyn, Lombard and Villa Park. Additionally, a rally is scheduled in La Grange from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. on La Grange Road between Cossitt and Goodman avenues. In Elmhurst, protestors plan to gather from 2:30 to 4:30 p.m. but the location is undisclosed. In Bartlett, a rally is set for 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. near the Veterans Memorial at the southwest corner of Stearns and Bartlett roads. The protests are meant to show support for traditional democratic values, including fair elections, due process for all, economic equality and free speech, according to an Indivisible DuPage news release. “These values have faced ongoing challenges by the current Republican administration. Our protests are particularly meaningful at this time given the increased federal presence in Chicago and ICE raids currently taking place in the suburbs,” according to the release. Indivisible DuPage is planning the day of protests locally, along with organizations including the Glen Ellyn branch of the League of Women Voters, the College of DuPage Faculty Association and Indivisible Illinois. More than 2,000 No Kings 2.0 events are registered around the country by local pro-democracy groups, an increase from the first No Kings Day events. Other protests planned for the region include Joliet, Aurora, Bolingbrook, Geneva and Elgin.)

https://www.westernjournal.com/video-chicago-mayor-refuses-answer-deport-illegal-beat-raped-wife-cracks-joke-instead/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Reporter William Kelly teed up Johnson’s humiliating self-own by recounting a crime that occurred last month, in which an illegal alien from Nicaragua grabbed a woman on the street, bashed her head in, and raped her. “If that had been your wife, Stacie, would you want ICE to deport … that illegal alien? Yes or no?” Kelly asked. Instead of responding, Johnson made a snarky jab, claiming Kelly’s YouTube views had dropped recently. Kelly quipped that his social-media views were much higher than the mayor’s. The reporter then asked Johnson to answer his question. “Answer the question as a man — not as a mayor — but as a man,” Kelly reiterated. “Would you want ICE to deport that rapist?” Once again, Johnson refused to respond. “No? Okay, that’s the answer,” Kelly said. Kelly also ripped Johnson for his frivolous race-baiting, saying the minorities he has spoken to are furious that their mayor prioritizes foreign invaders over Chicago residents. “The real Chicagoans that I talk to, that I communicate with — mostly black and brown, actually — tell me that you don’t seem to know the difference between illegal aliens and real Chicago citizens,” Kelly told Johnson. “They feel that you are siding with the illegal aliens over them in their communities.” As a reminder, Johnson has repeatedly claimed Trump’s move to deploy the National Guard to eradicate crime in Chicago is racist. This flippant invocation of the overused “Race Card” is ironic, since Johnson is under federal investigation for admitting he usually hires black people because they’re the “most generous race” on Earth. As is usually the case when it comes to Democrats, every accusation is a confession. So when left-wing foghorns such as Brandon Johnson call someone “racist,” they’re merely projecting their own racism onto their opponents in order to silence them. Reporter William Kelly is correct: Johnson and his Democratic comrades constantly prioritize the welfare of third-world foreign invaders over the safety of law-abiding, taxpaying American citizens. This toxic, unpatriotic trend must be stopped before this nation devolves into a third-world dumping ground for unvetted armies of illegal aliens who show open contempt for the United States.)

— ‘Woke’ Pope digs at Trump in call for open borders: ‘New missionary age.’ DD: Mass/illegal immigration will destroy America.
https://www.bizpacreview.com/2025/10/06/woke-pope-digs-at-trump-in-call-for-open-borders-new-missionary-age-1590407/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Pope Leo XIV did not mention President Trump by name, but it was clear to many who heard his address to Catholics on Sunday that he was taking a shot at U.S. immigration policies. Conservative Catholics, hopeful that the new pope, who was elected in May, would not be as far-left as his predecessor, the late Pope Francis, were sorely disappointed as Sunday’s Mass in St. Peter’s Square took on political overtones. Days after criticizing the Trump administration’s immigration policies, Leo urged the thousands gathered for the service – and Catholics around the globe – to open their “arms and hearts” to migrants, not distinguishing between legal and illegal immigration. The first pope to have been born in the United States, Leo said migrants must not be treated with “the coldness of indifference or the stigma of discrimination.” He urged Catholics to “open our arms and hearts to them, welcoming them as brothers and sisters, and being for them a presence of consolation and hope.” “On Sunday, the pope said the global Church was experiencing ‘a new missionary age’ in which it was tasked with offering ‘hospitality and welcome, compassion and solidarity’ to migrants fleeing violence or searching for a safe place to live,” Reuters reported. “In the communities of ancient Christian tradition, such as those of the West, the presence of many brothers and sisters from the world’s South should be welcomed as an opportunity, through an exchange that renews the face of the Church,” he said, speaking from a prepared text. The Pope’s official account on X has also made his thoughts quite clear on the issue. Last week, the Pope appeared to take a jab at Trump when speaking with reporters. “Someone who says I am against abortion but I am in agreement with the inhuman treatment of immigrants in the United States, I don’t know if that’s pro-life,” Leo said. “I would reject that there is inhumane treatment of illegal immigrants in the United States under this administration,” White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt fired back. “There was, however, significant, inhumane treatment of illegal immigrants in the previous administration as they were being trafficked and raped and beaten, in many cases killed over our United States southern border.” The Pope’s latest swipe against US immigration policy earned heated criticism on social media.

— 3 Best First Jobs To Get Promoted Fast. DD: My critics/opponents have always been furious that IRS promoted me when I was 23, 24, and 25. During that time, my salary increased from $55,850/year to $99,069/year in today’s dollars. My taking job-related graduate evening courses at Loyola during that time helped me get promoted. Extremely few of my coworkers took IRS-encouraged job-related graduate evening courses like I did. My critics/opponents have always hinted/implied/argued/shouted that my taking those courses gave me an unfair advantage. They stressed that I could afford those courses because I avoided the Vietnam War draft and because did not have a wife or children to support. In my defense, I helped support my mother and brother when I was 21, 22, and 23 and I worked part-time for the Chicago Heights Firestone store while I was 22, 23, and 24.
