CBS2
— Democrats say “DuPage County to use new tool to help domestic violence survivors.” Tragically, as more and more and more hate-filled conservative-hating conservative-haters move into DuPage County to take advantage of the prosperity and safety that conservatives created there, there is more and more and more domestic violence. Hate-filled conservative-hating conservative-haters promote the Democrat, Libertarian, and Green party platforms which promote poverty and crime. Those platforms promote a) dependency on government and charity, b) sexualization and LGBTQ, c) abortion, d) mass/illegal immigration, e) diminishment of Second Amendment rights, f) booze, gambling, pot, and other vices, and g) Affirmative Action, Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, CRT, 1619, BLM, reparations, and wokeness/wokeism, that is, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination.

OUR QUAD CITIES
— Democrats say “Illinois considers letting non-citizens become police officers.” If there had been as many non-citizens when I was young as there are now, a) S.S. Kresge would have hired a non-citizen instead of me in 1964 to wash dishes, b) the Post Office would have hired a non-citizen instead of me in 1966 to deliver mail, c) IRS would have hired a non-citizen instead of me in 1971 to collect delinquent taxes, and d) GAO would have hired anon-citizen instead of me in 1980 to audit federal agencies. My critics/opponents cannot similarly say that non-citizens would have been hired instead of them because they did not have to take “bad jobs” because their parents had far more money than my parents had. I should write a book about my critics/opponents.

— Stressed-out students bailing out of college – Sean Salai (COMMENT: Government is nasty/vicious. Politics is nasty/vicious. My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes hint/imply/argue/shout that more than anything else, avoiding the Viet Nam War draft motivated me to be a full-time student at UIC 1966-1968 and at NIU 1969-1970.

— If DeSantis is so bad, why did Trump endorse him twice? – Christopher Tremoglie (COMMENT: How bad am I? I should ask my critics/opponents: “If I am so bad, why did Roskam and Hultgren endorse me for Republican Precinct Committeeman in 2000?” Of course, my critics/opponents would say that Roskam and Hultgren strongly regret their endorsing me. My critics/opponents would stress the many adverse actions taken against me during and after Roskam’s and Hultgren’s terms in office including: a) rudely ending my bid to serve as the Milton Township Republican Organization (MTRO) Treasurer in 2004, b) rudely ending my service as MTRO webmaster in 2004 and 2010, c) almost getting the Illinois Center Right Coalition (ICRC) to censure me for my GOPUSA LLINOIS newsletters in 2006, d) rudely ending my service as an ICRC Steering Committee member in 2007, e) rudely ending my service as a Wheaton Chamber of Commerce Government Affairs Committee member in 2011, f) rudely ending my service as the TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois chairman in 2012, g) rudely gerrymandering my precinct in 2015, h) rudely ending my bid to be appointed to fill the Wheaton City Council West District vacancy in 2019, i) rudely ending my service as the Republican fundraiser for Wheaton Independence Day parades and fireworks in 2021, and j) rudely almost stopping me from attending the DeSantis event in Elmhurst as the GOPUSA Illinois reporter on February 20, 2023. They would stress a) that I worked for IRS for almost 9 years, the last 5 1/2 years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 Levels, currently $92,279-$104,583/year, b) that I worked for GAO for almost 18 years, the last 11 years of which at the GS-13 Step 1-10 Levels, currently $109,732-$142,650/year, c) that I worked for GAO on audits of IRS for 3 years and on audits of federal financial industry regulators for more than 8 years, d) that GAO works for Congress, and e) that neither Roskam nor Hultgren ever drew on my IRS or GAO work experience. My critics/opponents would hint/imply/argue/shout that Roskam and Hultgren not only withdrew their endorsement of me in 2002 when I supported Pat O’Malley instead of Jim Ryan in the 2002 Illinois gubernatorial primary, but that ever since then, they have called for MTRO, ICRC, Wheaton Chamber of Commerce, TAPROOT, Wheaton, etc. to get rid of me.)

I would focus on those who have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me. I would focus on those who have brought disgrace to the Republican Party.

EPOCH TIMES
— House Passes Parents Bill of Rights Act – Joseph Lord
https://www.theepochtimes.com/house-passes-parents-bill-of-rights-act_5147144.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: One of the Republicans’ key goals in crafting the bill was to ensure that parents who speak out against what is being taught to their children do not face retribution from local, state, or federal authorities. “No longer will [parents] have their speech denied, or feel threatened for expressing their concerns at school board meetings,” Foxx said. The comment was in reference to a late-2021 controversy in which Attorney General Merrick Garland offered federal resources and guidance to local law enforcement to target parents who attended school board meetings. In 2021, the United States saw a deluge of concerned parents coming to school board meetings to speak out against left-wing ideology in the classroom. Many parents came to their school board to speak out against critical race theory (CRT), a highly contentious left-wing theory that holds that white people are inherently “privileged” and that non-white people are inherently oppressed. Critics of CRT note that it has its origins in the political thought of Karl Marx, the ideological founder of communism; the theory has also been criticized as racist for its efforts to reduce the individual to a member of a group on the basis of their skin color. In his remarks against the bill, Scott suggested that CRT was “an accurate recounting of our nation’s history,” and that the legislation would “punish librarians” who pushed CRT. Other parents came to school board meetings to speak out against fringe left-wing notions of sex and gender. Many left-wing activists claim that gender is a social construct and that a person can change their gender based on their feelings. One parent, Terry Newsome of Chicago, who spoke out against allowing “Gender Queer” in his kids’ school library in 2021, was later placed on a terror watch-list with no warning or further explanation.)

https://www.oann.com/newsroom/huckabee-sanders-goes-after-white-privilege-survey/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: At a mandatory training last month, a high school in Arkansas issued its teachers a poll that forced them to reject the perks that come with being White. The survey was titled “Cultural Competency Continuum: Knowledge, Behaviors, and Dispositions for Educators,” and it was handed out during an obligatory educator-led development training, according to a letter sent by John L. Colbert, Fayetteville Public Schools Superintendent. However, the unexpected teacher survey may have possibly violated Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders’ restriction on Critical Race Theory (CRT). “My administration will not tolerate this kind of CRT and indoctrination in our public schools,” Sanders said. Photos of the four-section survey, which the group had obtained from a teacher, were tweeted by a local “Mom’s for Liberty” chapter. “This survey compels teachers to acknowledge that, if White, they are biased, racist, and privileged… The survey does not measure IF a teacher is racist and privileged but rather how far down the racist and privileged continuum their answers rate them,” tweeted the mother-run group. “If there was any question about the presence of CRT in our district, this survey removes all doubt.” The Cultural Competency Continuum survey was recently given to teachers at Fayetteville High. This survey requires “teachers to acknowledge and to continually examine the influence of race, culture, power and privilege…In the “Analyze and Align” portion, educators were asked if they renounce “any privileges that come with White racial identity” and if they “advocate for cultural competency and social justice effectively and professionally.” The “Awaken and Assess” portion questioned participants if they were cognizant of their own privileges, biases, and stereotypes. In the “Apply and Act” portion, participants were asked if they normally “monitor and manage equitable access and support services” for their students by looking at data on their gender, color, ethnicity, and language. Also, it inquired as to whether they permit pupils to raise the awareness of teachers “by questioning bias assumptions or behaviors observed in our school environment.” Additionally, the survey questioned if participating educators were “brave equity warriors.” “We’ve already reached out to the district to ensure no teacher is forced to sign this pledge. We’re making sure it doesn’t happen again. We will teach kids how to think, not what to think,” Sanders said. Sanders had announced a ban on the schooling of CRT as one of her first official acts as governor. In his letter, Colbert stated that the Arkansas Department of Education had found the survey to be in violation of this rule. “Based on this guidance, Fayetteville Public Schools will ensure this survey is not further disseminated,” Colbert said in response to angry teachers and parents. All upcoming professional development materials, he pledged, would be examined to assure the utmost compliance. Colbert later downplayed the incident, claiming that the teacher survey was only ever used as a tool for introspection and was never actually collected or made mandatory. However, this contradicted what some teachers said were instructed to them in the beginning, regarding the survey. The Fayetteville Public School District declined to give any comments or answer journalist questions.)

— Facing floods, non-white homeowners prepare, protect property – Blaine Friedlander (COMMENT: I should write a book about the many hundreds of hours and the many thousands of dollars that I have had to spend since 1984 to protect my home against storm water damage a) because Wheaton approved a grossly inadequate stormwater drainage plan for my subdivision and b) because Wheaton let the subdivision developer violate many building and construction codes.)
https://phys.org/news/2023-03-non-white-homeowners-property.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: In flood-prone areas of New York state, non-white homeowners are more likely than white homeowners to take active, sometimes-costly measures—such as finding a way to protect a furnace, a water heater or installing a sump pump—to prepare for a possible deluge, according to a new Cornell study. White respondents to a survey, the researchers learned, were generally more confident of better outcomes from dire situations and saw the possibility of a flood threat differently. Thus, people who identified as white took more low-cost actions to protect their property from flooding—but tended to stop short of expensive measures. “Most of the time for people who live in flood-prone areas, flooding is not a top-of-the-mind worry,”)

While I worked for the Democrats who ran GAO 1980-1997, all of my Democrat superiors and supervisors had children. All of them strongly painted themselves as being severely cash-strapped, education-limited, professional certification/license-limited, and/or career-limited because of their children.

— Parents, kids missing out due to lack of awareness about subsidized child care programs in NYC – Cayla Bamberger (COMMENT: My father made enough money that my mother could stay home and raise me and my brother. My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have always used that to demonize, denigrate, and condemn my parents and my brother and I as being undeservedly filth rich. In my father’s defense, he never made more than $50,000/year in today’s dollars, and when my brother and I were younger, he earned far less than that. He almost always worked second jobs to pay the family’s bills. Further, because my mother never attended high school, her earning potential was very limited.)

I had gotten promoted a) to GS-9, currently $63,633/year, in 1972, b) to GS-11, currently $76,990/year, in 1973, and c) to GS-12, currently $92,279/year, in 1974.

FEDERALIST
— Indiana Lawsuit Challenges Parties’ Right To Keep Candidates Off The Ballot – OLIVIA HAJICEK (COMMENT: Political parties exist to help elect candidates who can and will defend and advance their platform. The Republican Party platform is conservative. The Illinois Republican Party, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Milton Township Republican Organization should officially have the power to stop candidates from running as Republicans in Illinois, in DuPage County, and in Milton Township. But of course, if the aforesaid organizations officially had that power, their Democrat plant, Libertarian plant, Green plant, Independent plant, and RINO leaders would officially use that power to stop candidates from running as Republicans who support the following planks in the Republican Party platform: a) individual responsibility, b) traditional marriage/family, c) right to life, immigration, Second Amendment, illegal drugs, and/or equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving). Because I support the aforesaid planks, if I had tried to run for any government office in Illinois, DuPage County, or Milton Township, Democrat plant, Libertarian plant, Green plant, Independent plant, and RINO leaders of the aforesaid organizations would have stopped if they had the power to do so. Just look at how they attacked me when sought to be appointed to fill the Wheaton City Council West District vacancy in 2019.)

In my precinct, a) I delivered Trump campaign literature and b) after he won the 2016 and 2020 primaries, I sought yard sign locations for his campaigns. Because of my policy of staying out of primaries, I did not recommend any Republican candidate in the 2016 and 2020 Republican primaries.

https://dailycaller.com/2023/03/21/donald-trump-plan-dismantle-deep-state/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Former President Donald Trump unveiled his new plan Tuesday to “dismantle the deep state” by firing “rogue” bureaucrats and career politicians, according to a new policy agenda video. Trump released a list of ten items that indicate how he plans to “clean out the deep state,” starting with re-instating an executive order that would give the president the authority to fire bureaucrats, according to the video posted on Rumble. The former president’s plan would dismantle the “Washington Swamp,” target corruption and ensure that federal bureaucrats and politicians are held accountable. “The departments and agencies that have been weaponized will be completely overhauled so that faceless bureaucrats will never again be able to target and persecute conservatives, Christians, or the left’s political enemies, which they’re doing now at a level that nobody can believe even possible,” Trump said in the video.)

I would focus on those who have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me.

REUTERS
— Democrats say “A group of seven U.S. senators on Tuesday proposed legislation to raise the mandatory commercial pilot retirement age to 67 from 65, in a bid to address airline industry staffing issues.” If you are a federal employee who is Republican, White, male, and/or non-veteran and you did not make it into Senior Executive Service, currently $183,500/year, by age 40, your Democrat superiors will force you to retire as soon as you are eligible. I was eligible to take early retirement in 1993 when I was 45 years old. My Democrat GAO superiors succeeded in forcing me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49. I was not eligible to take regular retirement until 2003 when I would have been 55. My $63,144/year Civil Service Retirement System pension is dramatically less because of that. It is only 44% of what my GAO salary was in 1997 in today’s dollars. It is less than what my IRS salary was in 1972 in today’s dollars.

ENTREPRENEUR
— Why Personal Responsibility Is Key to Changing Your Life – DANIEL MANGENA (COMMENT: To what extent did you take personal responsibility for getting you bachelor’s degree? I took great personal responsibility because my outstanding parents were not in a good position to pay for my college expenses. Neither of them attended college. My father was only the first of my ancestors to earn a high school diploma. He almost always worked second jobs to pay the family’s bills. My mother never attended high school. She stayed home and raised my brother and me. Further, my scholarship possibilities were extremely bleak. I only just barely made into the upper 20% of my Crete-Monee Hight School class, I could not run, my eyesight could not be corrected to 20.20, I had partial red/green color blindness, and my ACT score was only 24. That is why when I was 16 in 1964, a) I got a job washing dishes for the minimum wage in the basement of the S.S. Kresge in Chicago Heights, b) I bought a 1958 Chevrolet Bel Air to get to/from my parents’ home in Crete, high school, and my dishwashing job; c) I saved all of my salary that I could. That enabled me to buy a new 1966 Pontiac Tempest Sprint in May of 1966 that I used to get to/from my parents’ home and a) jobs during the summer of 1966 cleaning golf shoes in Flossmoor and chipping slag and pumping gasoline in Chicago Heights, b) taking classes at UIC starting in September of 1966, and c) delivering mail part-time in Park Forest starting in November of 1966.)

— According to the Illinois Freedom Caucus, “Jim Durkin’s strategy of offering voters a ‘Democrat Lite’ agenda has been a colossal failure. Our party needs bold leadership if we ever hope to get out of the super minority.” SEE: https://abc7chicago.com/jim-durkin-illinois-house-republican-resigning/12678017/ Political parties exist to help elect candidates who can and will defend and advance their platform. The Republican Party is conservative. My critics/opponents in the Illinois Republican Party (IRP), DuPage County Republican Central Committee (DCRCC), and Milton Township Republican Organization (MTRO) want Democrat Lite. They want the IRP to officially dump the individual responsibility, traditional marriage/family, right to life, immigration, Second Amendment, illegal drugs, and equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) planks in the Republican Party platform. They want the IRP, DCRCC, and MTRO to officially dump conservatives, that is, to officially dump platform Republicans, that is, to officially dump the base of the Republican Party, that is, to officially destroy the IRP, DCRCC, and MTRO. – Dave Diersen

— Democrats say “Single women more likely to own homes than single men despite gender pay gap.” In 1972, when I was 24 years old and single, I bought a new town home in University Park. The down payment came from what I had earned working for IRS in Harvey collecting delinquent taxes and for the Firestone Store in Chicago Heights part-time pumping gasoline. Also, with that money, I bought a new 1972 Corvette in 1971 and starting in 1972, I paid for tuition and books for graduate business courses at Loyola. In 1974, when I was still single, because I got promoted to an IRS job in the Loop, I bought a studio condo in downtown Chicago. The down payment came from what I had earned working for IRS in Harvey, Joliet, and Chicago. In 1976, when I was still single, I bought a one bedroom condo in downtown Chicago. The down payment came from what I had earned working for IRS in the Loop. In today’s dollars, my IRS salary was $52,022/year in 1971, $63,633/year in 1972, $76,990/year in 1973, $92,279/year in 1974, $95,355/year in 1975, and $98,431/year in 1976.

https://nypost.com/2023/03/18/progressive-ny-politicians-race-bait-against-white-people/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Woke New York Democratic pols from Buffalo to Brooklyn have made racist rhetoric about white people a central pillar of their message to voters. At the local, statewide and national level, left-wing, mostly socialist, elected officials have decried without repercussion that white people live in their neighborhoods, argued they should not be eligible for certain jobs, and issued broad demonizing statements. “Anti-whiteness is the fundamental premise of the left. All that is needed to take out an institution or an individual is to publicly observe that that individual is white or that that institution (Western science, Western medicine, classical music, European art) has historically been majority white or may still be majority white today,” Heather Mac Donald, a scholar at the Manhattan Institute, told The Post. “Biden routinely says that white people have an enduring problem with racism, we represent the dark soul of the US,” Mac Donald added. Some pols, such as East New York City Councilman Charles Barron, even boast of anti-white bonafides.)

WALL STREET JOURNAL
— Alvin Bragg’s Political Charge Against Donald Trump. An indictment of a former President must be for serious offenses with indisputable evidence. – Editorial (COMMENT: GAO works for Congress. My Democrat GAO superiors forced me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years old and took many other adverse actions against me before that. They not only knew that I would sue them in federal court because of that, they wanted me to sue them in federal court. They knew that my Republican U.S. Senators and that my Republican U.S. Representatives in Illinois, including Hastert, would not come to my defense. They knew that the Democrat-run federal courts in Illinois would deny me my 7th Amendment rights and grant GAO summary judgment, which is what they did. They knew that summary judgment would give them even more power to use Affirmative Action, Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, up-or-out, budget cuts, etc. to not hire Republicans and to get rid of their Republican employees, and especially those who share my demographics: conservative, White, male, older, non-veteran, Protestant, German American, my ancestors had been in America since 1844, etc. SEE: https://gopillinois.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/DiersenGAOFifthAmendedComplaint.pdf )
https://www.wsj.com/articles/alvin-braggs-political-charge-against-donald-trump-new-york-arrest-presidential-campaign-2024-election-da-charges-stormy-daniels-f5c1b6e1
(FROM THE ARTICLE: So Mr. Bragg may indict a former President for the first time in American history based on the weakest of charges. He would subject the country to a trial that would be a media circus for the ages. And he would do so running the risk that a single juror could block a guilty verdict and validate Mr. Trump’s claim that this is a political prosecution. Yes, we know, in America no one is above the law. But prosecutors use their discretion every day not to bring charges for any number of reasons. Mr. Bragg came into office vowing not to charge numerous non-violent crimes against public order. The prosecution of a former President who is again a candidate for the White House is inherently fraught with political ramifications.)

HUFFINGTON POST
— Democrats say “‘Despicable’ Pandering: Ron DeSantis Roasted For Odd Claim About His Upbringing.” I should write a book about my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes who have stressed the most a) that I lived in Crete 1948-1972, b) that my parents had me baptized as a Missouri Synod Lutheran (MSL), raised me as a MSL, and had me confirmed as a MSL, and c) that I am 100% German American.
https://www.huffpost.com/entry/ron-desantis-cultural-upbringing_n_6417dbc4e4b0fef15244c95f
(FROM THE ARTICLE: But he claimed his “cultural” background was quite different from his “geographical” one. ″[C]ulturally my upbringing reflected the working-class communities in western Pennsylvania and northeast Ohio — from weekly church attendance to the expectation that one would earn his keep,” he wrote. “This made me God-fearing, hard-working and America-loving.” NBC News notes that DeSantis’ claim stems from his parents’ “geographical” background: His father was raised in Pennsylvania, and his parents met while attending Youngstown State University in Ohio. But the governor himself never lived in either place, which just so happen to be key to any presidential ambitions.)

— Democrats say “Millennials are more likely than other generations to support a cap on personal wealth.” According to my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes, I have always had too much wealth. It started in 1966 when I was 17 years old and bought a new 1966 Pontiac Tempest Sprint with money that I earned washing dishes for the minimum wage in the basement of the S.S. Kresge in Chicago Heights. It got worse in 1967 when I bought a new 1968 Oldsmobile 442 and in 1967 and when I bought a new 1969 Dodge Charger SE in 1968 with money that I earned delivering mail for the Park Forest Post Office. It got worse in 1970 when I graduated debt-free from NIU with a bachelor’s degree in management. It got worse in 1971 when I bought a new 1972 Corvette and in 1972 when I bought a new town home in University Park with money that I earned working for IRS and working for the Firestone Store in Chicago Heights part-time.

https://willcountygazette.com/stories/640266683-how-many-will-county-students-failed-their-math-exams-in-2022
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Nearly 7 in 10 Will County public high school students aren’t at grade level in Math. That’s according to a Will County Gazette analysis of 2022 test score data compiled by the Illinois State Board of Education (ISBE). ISBE reports that last year, 68.1 percent of Will County’s 7,951 public high school students failed the Math portion of the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) and have “minimal (or) incomplete… understanding of the knowledge and skills relative to Illinois Learning Standards.” Students can achieve four proficiencies in their subjects (partially met, approaching, meets, and exceeds standards). This report concludes students who partially met or approached the standards have failed in the subject. Crete-Monee High School (89.9 percent), Joliet Central High School (87.6 percent), and Beecher High School (86.9 percent) had the highest failure rates in Will County.)

I would focus on those races in which candidates blame me and my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters a) for the nastiness, b) for their winning by a smaller margin than they expected, and/or c) for their losing. I would focus on those candidates who have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me.

ASSOCIATED PRESS
— Democrats say “Some Trump rivals rally to his side as possible charges loom.” Who has rallied to your side when you have been attacked? I should write a book about those who have rallied to my side when I have been attacked by a) 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) leaders of the Wheaton Chamber of Commerce, TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois, Illinois Center Right Coalition, and American Association of Political Consultants Midwest Chapter, d) Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct, e) conservative leaders and activists, f) religious leaders and activists, and g) those who I have sued and their lawyers. Because so few have rallied to my side, my book would be extremely thin. In that book, I would focus on those who have destroyed those who have rallied to my side.

WASHINGTON POST
— Democrats say “DeSantis plays on America’s divisions as he readies 2024 campaign.” Tragically, ever-increasingly, those who remain in Illinois are anti-conservative, anti-Republican, anti-American, anti-White, anti-male, anti-older people, anti-heterosexual, anti-those in traditional marriages, anti-rich people, anti-home owners, anti-gun owners, anti-Christian, anti-Protestant, anti-Italian American, anti-Germans American, and/or anti-those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time.

LOS ANGELES TIMES

I would focus on those who paint themselves as being religious, conservative, and/or Republican. I would focus on those who have/had lots of religious, government, political, and/or financial clout in Wheaton, in Milton Township, in DuPage County, and/or in Illinois. I would split the aforesaid up between a) those who share many of my demographics and b) those who share few of my demographics. My demographics include conservative, White, male, older (74), married (since 1978), childless, non-veteran, gun-owner, Protestant (Missouri Synod Lutheran), German American (100%), ancestors have been in America for a long time (mine since 1844), former union member (almost 12 years), former federal employee (almost 30 years), and federal retiree (almost 26 years). I would focus on those who ever-increasingly side with my critics/opponents if not ever-increasingly talk/act like they are now operatives/dupes for my critics/opponents.

24/7 WALL STREET
— How Much Members of the US Military Are Paid at Every Pay Grade – Maria Wood (COMMENT: DeSantis made the Navy rank of Lieutenant Commander when he was 28 in 2006. The equivalent civilian GS grade is 12. I made GS-12 in 1974 (currently $92,279/year) when I was a 25-year-old IRS Revenue Officer. I made GS-13 (currently $109,732/year) in 1986 when I was a 38-year-old GAO Analyst. The equivalent Navy rank is Commander. (SEE: https://www.history.navy.mil/research/library/online-reading-room/title-list-alphabetically/c/comparison-of-military-and-civilian-equivalent-grades.html ) My ending GAO salary was $142,650/year (GS-13 Step 10) in today’s dollars. According to my critics/opponents, federal employees are failures if they do not make GS-13 by age 25, GS-14 by age 30, GS-15 (currently $129,671/year) by age 35, and Senior Executive Service (currently $183,500/year) by age 40. Extremely few federal employees make the aforesaid promotion deadlines. How soon, if not already, will DeSantis’ critics/opponents paint his military career as being a failure, and therefore, that he is a failure? Since 1973 when I turned 25 years old, because I failed to make GS-13, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have demonized me, denigrated me, and condemned me as being a failure. Further, according to them, IRS should not have promoted me to GS-9 in 1972, to GS-11 in 1973, or to GS-12 in 1974 and GAO should not have promoted me to GS-13 in 1986.)

GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— Are you a registered Republican voter in DuPage County? If so, who is your Republican Precinct Committeeman? Is he/she elected or an appointed live-in-precinct (LIP) Committeeman? You should ask him/her if the proposed DuPage County Election Division precinct map puts them in the same precinct with one or more other Republican elected or LIP Precinct Committeeman.

By now, elected and LIP DuPage County Republican Precinct Committeemen should have received the proposed precinct map for their township. I have received the proposed Milton Township precinct map. It combines the township’s 130 current precincts into 83 new precincts. As I anticipated, it draws me into the same precinct with Ives like what happened in 2015.

For the new proposed Precinct 9, the north border remains Roosevelt Road, the west border remains the Illinois Prairie Path, the south border is Fairway Lane, and the east border is Naperville Road. All of the expansion comes out of Ives’ Precinct 65.

Of course, one could argue that when two elected or LIP committeemen are drawn into the same precinct, the reason is to get rid of one of them.

My current thinking is that if Ives runs, the precinct is hers; but if she does not run, I will run again.

My current thinking is to try to get the lines for my precinct to be redrawn so that all the expansion is to the west. But I am not optimistic. Things have only gotten worse for me since 2015. Because of that, I do not anticipate that anyone will support my request that the proposed lines for my precinct be redrawn so that all expansion is to the west.

In the 2015 redrawing, Ives was subsequently carved out so we did not have to run against each other, but I lost about 250 voters on the west side of the Prairie Path and I gained about 250 voters east of Warrenville Road in Ives’ old precinct. Since at least 1999 and through 2015, my precinct lines were unchanged and the precinct had about 500 registered voters. But in 2015, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes in the Milton Township Republican Organization and the DuPage County Republican Central Committee falsely told me that precinct border changes that year would only impact precincts that had more than 1,000 registered voters, and that merely, those precincts would be split.

On Tuesday, the DuPage County Finance Committee received a “Draft DuPage County Precinct Map.” To meet the new 1,200 registered voters per precinct state requirement, many committeemen will have to be drawn into a new precinct with each other. Further, larger precincts necessarily mean that more precincts will contain more government districts. My current precinct and the proposed precinct outrageously include voters in three (west, east, and south) of Wheaton’s four districts. If my precinct was extended to the west, that could have been avoided.

I have asked the DuPage County Election Division to provide me with a detailed version of the Milton Township portion of its proposed precinct map. I have asked that it show where the Republican elected and LIP committeemen live. I am told that an attorney who will verify that the maps comply with state law has not yet been selected.

A revised map is scheduled to be presented to the finance committee on April 11, 2023 with a public hearing. That revised map is to be posted on the County Board website for public review and comment. A new map is scheduled to be presented to the finance committee on May 9, 2023. That map is scheduled to be voted on by the County Board on June 13 or 27, 2023. – Dave Diersen

— Democrats call DeSantis’ SVB diversity claim ridiculous. Ever-increasingly, businesses put promoting the Democrat, Libertarian, and Green party platforms ahead of making a profit. Ever-increasingly, businesses dump their employees and dump their customers who are citizens of America, heterosexual, conservative, Republican, White, male, older, Christian, Protestant, Italian American, German American, and/or those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time. Ever-increasingly, the following dump those who are the aforesaid: a) Republican activists, candidates, elected officials, party leaders, major donors, etc., b) conservative leaders, and c) religious leaders.

I should write a book about that. I would focus on my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes who have viciously demonized me, viciously denigrated me, and viciously condemned me the most.

I am not paid to write about, publish, distribute, etc. government or political news or commentary. No one calls my tunes. All my income comes from my Civil Service Retirement System pension, my Social Security, and my retirement savings. Again, he who pays the piper calls the tunes. Ever-increasingly, the mainstream media is vehemently anti-conservative, anti-Republican, anti-American, anti-White, anti-male, anti-older people, anti-heterosexual, anti-those in traditional marriages, anti-rich people, anti-home owners, anti-gun owners, anti-Christian, anti-Protestant, anti-Italian American, anti-Germans American, and/or anti-those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time. Ever-increasingly, the mainstream media promotes liberalism, socialism, and communism, that is, the Democrat, Libertarian, and Green party platforms, LGBTQ, that is, the destruction of traditional marriage and family, CRT, 1619, BLM, reparations, and wokeness/wokeism, that is, Affirmative Action, Diversity, Equity, and inclusion, that is, patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, religious discrimination, national origin discrimination, and even worse things.

NBC PALM SPRINGS
— Democrats say that “DeSantis, who blames diversity initiatives for Silicon Valley Bank’s downfall, pushed for rollback of bank regulations.” GAO works for Congress. During the last 8 years that I worked for GAO, I worked on audits of federal financial industry regulators. In today’s dollars, my salary increased from $120,705/year to $142,650/year. I earned a master’s degree in financial markets and trading from IIT during that time. Republican U.S. Senators and Republican U.S. Representatives in Illinois, including Hastert, and candidates for those offices have never sought my input on anything to do with federal financial industry regulators. I should write a book about that.

— Democrats say “Trump-aligned super PAC calls for Florida ethics investigation into DeSantis political activity.” In 1971, I was one of the last Republicans that IRS hired. In 1974, my Democrat IRS superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates successfully called for IRS to disallow my travel vouchers. In 1978, they and Money Magazine successfully called for IRS to disallow my education deductions. I should write a book about that.

FOX DC
— Democrats say “The U.S. Air Force this month launched an effort to hire a handful of senior-level diversity, equity and inclusion managers and is hoping to place these officials in posts across the country, from Washington, D.C., to Alaska. Each post pays at least $82,000 per year, and the top position at the Pentagon could pay more than $180,000 per year.’ My Democrat GAO superiors forced me to take a $21,863/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO.

I had been promoted to GS-13 in 1986. They gave the White male non-veteran GS-13 employees bad job assignments, unfair performance expectations, and unfair performance appraisals and always ranked them in the lower half for pay-for-performance.)

— Ever-increasingly, Democrats blame Republicans for all the problems that minorities and women have had, are having, and will have. I have always supported the equal opportunity plank in the Republican Party platform, that is, I have always opposed race and gender based preference giving.

I should write a book about how my critics/opponents in Wheaton, in Milton Township, in DuPage County, and in Illinois stress my support for that plank to minorities and to females to turn them against me. I would focus on minorities and females who have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me.

GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— DuPage County Republican Precinct Committeemen want to know which of their fellow committeemen they will be draw into the same new precinct with. I fully expect to again to be drawn into the same precinct with Jeanne Ives like I was in 2015. That year, I lost about 250 voters on the west side of the Prairie Path and I gained about 250 voters east of Warrenville Road in Ives’ old precinct. Yesterday, the DuPage County Finance Committee was scheduled to receive a “Draft DuPage County Precinct Map.” To meet the new 1,200 registered voters per precinct state requirement, many committeemen will have to be drawn into a new precinct with each other. Further, larger precincts necessarily mean that more precincts will contain more government districts. My current precinct outrageously includes voters in three (west, east, and south) of Wheaton’s four districts. I have asked the DuPage County Election Division to provide me with a detailed version of the Milton Township portion of the draft map. I have asked that it show where the Republican elected and appointed live-in-precinct (LIP) committeemen live. I have yet to be advised which District 4 County Board member has been selected to be the point of contact for the remapping process. I have yet to be advised who the attorney is who will verify that the maps comply with state law. A revised map is scheduled to be presented to the finance committee on April 11, 2023 with a public hearing. That revised map is to be posted on the County Board website for public review and comment. A new map is scheduled to be presented to the finance committee on May 9, 2023. That map is scheduled to be voted on by the County Board on June 13 or 27, 2023. Since at least 1999, my precinct lines had been unchanged and the precinct had about 500 registered voters. But in 2015, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes in the Milton Township Republican Organization and the DuPage County Republican Central Committee falsely told me that precinct border changes that year iwould only impact precincts that had more than 1,000 registered voters and that merely, those precincts would split. – Dave Diersen
