Nathan Cartagena, Ph.D., who has been an assistant professor of philosophy at Wheaton College since 2018, has repeatedly exhibited “left-wing racial politics laundered through a patina of ‘Christianese,'” according to an analysis of his writings posted on the website “For Wheaton.” Educated at Grove City College, Texas A&M University and Baylor University, Cartagena’s profile asserts that he specializes in Thomas Aquinas, civil rights activist James Baldwin, Critical Race Theory, military ethics, “Evangélic@ Theology,” and Christian pedagogy.)

WASHINGTON POST
— Younger Democrats want to force an uncomfortable conversation about age. Many complain the party is dominated by an older generation of leaders who have lost touch with Americans’ day-to-day struggles. Democrat and RINO leaders use up-or-out, that is, age discrimination, to get rid of Republicans. Republicans should know that Democrat and RINO leaders will get rid of you if you are not making say a) $100,000/year by age 25, c) $200,000/year by age 30, d) $300,000/year by age 35, e) $400,000/year by age 40, f) etc.

In today’s dollars, a) my GAO salary was $153,151/year and b) my Civil Service Retirement System pension is $66,780/year. That means that my wife and I have had $86,371/year less income since 1997.

— Republicans in Congress are drafting a tax bill that raises the state and local tax deduction cap for individuals from $10,000 to $25,000. I started itemizing when I was 24 years old in 1972 and my wife and I started in 1978. We paid less federal income tax because of that. But SALT ended all that. My critics/opponents have been furious that we have paid less federal income tax by itemizing. They want SALT and they do not want the SALT cap to be increased.

— If you asked the Republican candidates on the ballot in your precinct who lost why they lost, what would they say?  If you asked the leaders of your Republican township and county party organizations and the leaders of the Illinois Republican Party why Republican candidates lost, what would they say? What impact will April 1, 2025 Republican losses have on the November 3, 2026 election? How strongly will qualified Republicans be discouraged to run? – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com
— What do your critics/opponents attribute their successes to? My critics/opponents attribute their successes to meritocracy. But they attribute my successes to my benefitting from discrimination against those who share their demographics. My critics/opponents are liberal/moderate, minority, female, younger, veteran, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or have ancestors who have not been in America for a long time. In my defense, my parents never 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. I should write about my critics/opponents. I would focus on those whose parents were wealthy, who bought them cars, who paid for their college education, who got them jobs, etc.  I would focus on those who have 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. – Dave Diersen

— How will Illinois Democrat and RINO leaders use April 1, 2025 Republican losses? They will ever-increasingly do more to drive Republicans out of Illinois. They will especially drive out those Republicans who share Trump’s demographics. Trump is conservative, White, male, older, married, non-poor, non-veteran, Protestant, German American, and his ancestors have been in America for a long time. – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com
— How will the April 1, 2025 Democrat victories in your township, municipality, and school district impact you? Poverty and crime will ever-increasingly increase. There will be more and more and more dependency on government and charity, LGBTQ, abortion, mass/illegal immigration, booze, gambling, pot, prostitution, and other vices, and diminishment of Second Amendment rights. There will be more and more and more Affirmative Action and DEI, that is, there will be more and more and more race and gender based preference giving, patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, religious discrimination, and notional origin discrimination. – Dave Diersen

— Internal White House document details layoff plans across U.S. agencies. While I worked for the Democrats who ran GAO 1980-1997, the agency was almost always under hiring freezes and/or promotion freezes because of Gingrich budget cuts. Of course, my Democrat GAO superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates were furious about that. To punish Gingrich, my Democrat GAO superiors and supervisors took many big adverse actions against me.

They would not have done that if I had been a Democrat, minority, female, and/or veteran. They especially targeted me because I complained about their political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination (up-or-out), religious discrimination, and national origin discrimination. They even more especially targeted me after 1988 when I became an active member in a class action lawsuit that charged them with reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation.

— Musk tries to rehab DOGE after backlash, mistakes. If Gingrich had reformed GAO instead of gutting it in the 1980s and 1990s, DOGE would not be needed today and I might still be a GAO employee. If Gingrich had formed a team to reform GAO, I would have volunteered to be a member of that team. I would have stressed a) that I had worked for GAO since 1980 and the last 11 years of which at the GS-13 Step 1-10 Levels, currently $117,807-$153,151/year, b) that I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, c) that I passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt and became a licensed CPA in1981, d) that I became a Certified Fraud Examiner in 1990, Government Financial Manager in 1994, Financial Services Auditor in 1996, and Forensic Accountant in 1997, and e) that I earned an MBA in 1976, a master’s degree in accounting in 1980, and a master’s degree in finance in 1997.

I worked for the Democrats who ran GAO on audits of IRS’s CID 1986-1988 at the GS-13 Step 1-3 Levels, currently $117,807-$125,661/year. My Democrat GAO superiors wasted what I had learned about CID doing that. They also wasted what I had learned about IRS’s Collection Division. I worked for that Division 1971-1980, the last 5 1/2 years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 Levels, currently $99,069-$112,280/year.

According to my critics/opponents, the jobs that I got in 1964 (washing dishes), 1966 (cleaning golf shoes, chipping slag, and pumping gasoline), 1970 (working on an automobile assembly line and selling tires, automotive services, and major appliances), 1971 (pumping gasoline and collecting delinquent taxes), and 1980 (auditing federal agencies) and the promotions that I got in 1972, 1973, 1974, and 1986 should have been given to Blacks. They were overjoyed when my Democrat GAO superiors forced me to retire when I was 49 years in 1997 and gave my job and my preferred corner office to my Black subordinate. He had less work experience than I had. He had less education than I had. He had one professional certification while I had six. He had no professional license like the one I had.

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Democratic U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts asked the Government Accountability Office (GAO) to seek answers to those questions and to study the impacts of the firings, arguing that removing people from critical areas of government — such as air travel, wildland firefighting, infectious disease control, nuclear security and veterans’ health care — has put the county’s health and safety at risk. In a letter to Warren and other Democratic senators, the federal office said it accepted their request to review the firings.

CENTER SQUARE ILLINOIS
— Upcoming ‘New Illinois’ convention to split state driven by rural, urban divide. Will Cook County stay Illinois and the rest of the state become ‘New Illinois?’
https://www.thecentersquare.com/illinois/article_a5c82042-cb19-45de-b3fe-7068ab7ad5cc.html
(COMMENT: The divide between rural and urban areas in Illinois is one of the main drivers of many looking to split the state in two. G.H. Merritt is chairman of New Illinois, a group that plans their seventh constitutional convention next weekend in Bloomington. The movement aims to make a new state out of most of Illinois, excluding Cook County. “When you have a very large group of people that is disenfranchised, that is going to cause division and I think separating states maybe would help people get along better,” Merritt told The Center Square. Merritt said a 1964 U.S. Supreme Court ruling effectively allowed a state’s largest populated area to dictate politics for the rest of the state. “When you take a state that already has a history of corruption and you apply Reynolds v. Sims to that, that causes all the power to be concentrated like that, that opens the door for no accountability, opens the door for more corruption,” Merritt said. Among similar movements in other states around the country, Indiana recently created a commission to investigate absorbing counties that want to split from Illinois. “Their economy in Northwest Indiana is so tied into the economy of Chicago that if Chicago goes the way of Detroit … that is going to adversely affect them,” said Merritt. Merritt doesn’t expect Indiana’s effort to succeed, as it requires cooperation from Illinois Democrats. Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker said Indiana’s efforts were a “stunt.”  One element impacting many to move toward separating the state into two is the state’s finances. Illinois’ pension debt is among the worst in the country and the state’s residents pay among the highest taxes in the country. “People look at this on the surface and think it’s a Democrat versus Republican thing, that is not the way we see it at all,” Merritt said. “It is an urban versus rural, small town and suburban thing.” Among the “grievances” New Illinois has published on their website are: Lack of representative government, extreme gerrymandering, violation of Second Amendment rights and “the government of Illinois is a tyranny.” The New Illinois Convention is Friday evening, April 4, and all day Saturday, April 5, at the Chateau Hotel and Convention Center in Bloomington.)

Yesterday, using 800 mailing labels and 400 envelopes, I finished hand-delivering Republican campaign literature and sample ballots to the 400 residences (375 homes and 25 low-income apartments) in my DuPage County Milton Township Precinct 59 in Wheaton that have at least one Republican or one Independent voter. My precinct having three different ballot styles complicated matters. I divided my precinct into five zones. It took me three+ hours to walk each zone. While I walked my precinct, I got a measure of the success that hate-filled Trump-hating Trump haters have had promoting more hatred against Trump. Republican Precinct Committeemen are lightning rods for that hatred. 478 in my precinct voted for Harris. – Dave Diersen
