CHAMPAIGN/URBANA NEWS GAZETTE
— While Durbin runs out his term, others run for his job
https://www.news-gazette.com/opinion/columns/jim-dey-while-durbin-runs-out-his-term-others-run-for-his-job/article_44e7ba73-6841-47f3-a4f5-2398c2ee6b72.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Even a member of the moribund Illinois Republican Party — Peoria U.S. Rep. Darin LaHood — indicated interest. From the outside looking in, a GOP candidate would appear to be the political equivalent of a kamikaze pilot in this reflexively Democratic state. Perhaps that’s why another Republican, former state Rep. Tom Demmer, issued a statement that parodied candidates’ expressions of interest. “Following today’s announcement from Sen. Durbin, I’m preparing to have conversations to consider the potential formation of a tentative exploratory committee to look in to the possibility of floating my candidacy. I hope to have potential decisions narrowed down sometime within the next 12-24 months. Get ready to stay tuned,” Demmer tweeted.)

STARVED ROCK MEDIA
— Pritzker has been contacted by the U.S. Department of Labor to remind him that unemployment benefits are not a handout for those in the country illegally. The letter was sent to all 50 governors in the U.S. Citing the executive order “Ending Taxpayer Subsidization of Open Borders,” the letter said it is critical that officials ensure American taxpayer dollars do not go toward encouraging or rewarding illegal immigration to the United States.

NPR ILLINOIS
— Federal work shaped a Black middle class. Now it’s destabilized by Trump’s job cuts. According to my critics/opponents, a) the Post Office should hired a Black instead of me in 1966, b) IRS should have hired a Black instead of me in 1971 and promoted Blacks instead of me in 1972, 1973, and 1974, and c) GAO should have hired a Black instead of me in 1980 and promoted a Black instead of me in 1986. My critics/opponents are overjoyed that my Democrat superiors took so many adverse actions against me and especially my Democrat GAO superiors forcing me to retire in 1997 and giving my job and my preferred corner office to my Black subordinate.

GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— Trump’s mass firing of probationary employees was illegal because it was not performance-based. I should write about how my Democrat superiors in the federal government used the subjectivity in their performance appraisal systems to get rid of me. I would focus on my Democrat GAO superiors. They used that subjectivity a) to force me to take a $23,472/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS in 1980, b) to delay my promotions and to never promote me beyond GS-13, c) to give me bad job assignments, unfair performance expectations, and unfair performance appraisals, d) to always rank me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance, and e) to force me to retiree when I was 49 years old in 1997. The following frustrated their painting me as being a poor performer: a) my earning an MBA in 1976, b) my passing the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, c) my earning a master’s degree in accounting in 1980, d) my passing the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981, e) my becoming a licensed CPA in 1981, f) my earning four more professional certifications in 1990, 1994, 1996, and 1997, and g) my earning a master’s degree in finance in 1997. – Dave Diersen

— Spectacle of arresting Wisconsin judge is important: A message has to be sent. My Democrat superiors used me to send strong messages. 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, and forced me to take a $23,472/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS 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 Firestone Store boss rudely fired me when told him that I had accepted a job offer from Oldsmobile. My Democrat Post Office superiors forced me to resign in 1969 and disallowed my sick leave requests in 1969 and 1968. – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com
— How have your critic/opponents used you to send messages? Leaders of the Illinois Republican Party (IRP) rudely terminated my membership on the IRP State Convention Platform and Resolutions Committee in 2024. Republican leaders of Wheaton rudely ended my service as the Republican fundraiser for Wheaton Independence Day parades and fireworks in 2021. Leaders of the Milton Township Republican Organization rudely gerrymandered my precinct in 2015. Republican leaders rudely ended my chairmanship of TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois in 2012 and my membership on the Illinois Center Right Coalition (ICRC) Steering Committee in 2007. They almost got ICRC to censure me for my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletter in 2006. – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com
— Have your critics/opponent taken adverse actions against you, and if so, why? My critics/opponents have taken many big adverse actions against me a) because 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 wrongdoing, and/or who refuse to give them money, b) because they are Democrats or RINOs, and/or c) because I have sued them. I should write about my critics/opponents. – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopilinois.com
— What have your critics/opponents used against you the most? My critics/opponents have used against me the most a) my fighting Democrat promotion of dependency on government and charity, LGBTQ, abortion, mass/illegal immigration, booze, gambling, pot, and other vices, diminishment of Second Amendment rights, and Affirmative Action and DEI, that is, race and gender based preference giving, patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, religious discrimination, and national origin discrimination, b) my having been a federal employee for almost 30 years and especially my having been an IRS employee for almost 9 years and my having been a federal retiree for almost 28 years, c) my demographics and especially my being a draft avoider, Protestant, and German American, and/or d) my having sued them. But of course, my critics/opponents use pretexts. I should write about my critics/opponents. – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com
— What is your position on equal outcome? My critics/opponents promote equal outcome, that is, according to them, no matter what your demographics are, you should be as successful at what you do as those who do not share your demographics, and if you don’t, it is because of discrimination. According to my critics/opponents, if minorities and/or females are less successful doing something than Whites and/or men are, it is because Whites and/or men discriminated against them. I passed the CPA and Certified Internal Auditor examinations on my first attempt. Few of those who took those examinations were minorities and/or women. Even fewer passwd the examinations on their first attempt. According to my critics/opponents, I passed the examinations because I benefitted from discrimination against minorities and against women. But in my defense, neither of my parents attended college, my father was only the first of my ancestors to earn a high school diploma, he never earned more than $50,000/year in today’s dollars and died suddenly when he was 47 and I was 21, my mother never attended high school, and I had to work my way through college. – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com
— What should you tell your children about up-or-out? If your children are White and/or male, you should tell them that Democrats and RINOs will use up-or-out to get rid of them if they are not making at least $100,000 by age 25, $200,000/year by age 30, $300,000 by age 35, $400,000 by age 40, etc. Because of that, unless your children become Democrats, they should do everything that they can to get good grades, to get the best ACT/SAT score that they can, to get accepted by the best college that they can, and to pick the right major. My Democrat IRS and GAO superiors used up-or-out to get rid of me. The Democrats who run the federal government use up-or-out to get rid of their employees who are not Democrat, minority, female, and/or veteran and who they do not promote to 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 Democrat IRS superiors got rid of me because I am not a Democrat, minority, female, or veteran and because I did not make GS-12 ($99,069) until I was 25 and I did not make GS-13 until I was 38. They did that notwithstanding my earning an MBA in business when I was 27, my passing the CPA examination on my first attempt when I was 30, my earning a master’s degree in accounting when I was 31, my passing the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt and becoming a licensed CPA when I was 32, my earning four more job-related professional certifications when I was 41, 45, 47, and 48, and my earning a master’s degree in finance when I was 48. – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com
— According to my critics/opponents, low-level federal jobs should be Black jobs. According to my critics/opponents, a) the Post Office should hired a Black instead of me in 1966 when I was 18, b) IRS should have hired a Black instead of me in 1971 and promoted Blacks instead of me in 1972, 1973, and 1974, and c) GAO should have hired a Black instead of me in 1980 and promoted a Black instead of me in 1986. My critics/opponents are overjoyed that my Democrat superiors took so many adverse actions against me and especially that my Democrat GAO superiors forced me to retire in 1997 and gave my job and my preferred corner office to my Black subordinate. – Dave Diersen

GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— How have Democrats used disparate impact against you? According to Democrats, a test is discriminatory if Whites and men do better on it than Blacks, Hispanics, and females do. Because Whites and men do better on the CPA examination than Blacks, Hispanics, and females, my Democrat and GAO superiors stopped requiring passing the CPA examination to get hired and promoted. That rendered worthless my passing the CPA examination on my first attempt when I was 30 years old in 1979. To hire and promote Democrats who were Black, Hispanic, and female, they also stopped requiring other qualifications. That rendered worthless my earning an MBA in business when I was 27, my earning a master’s degree in accounting when I was 31, my passing the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt and becoming a licensed CPA when I was 32, my earning four more job-related professional certifications when I was 41, 45, 47, and 48, and my earning a master’s degree in finance when I was 48. I should write about the aforesaid. It is called political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination. – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com
— Why do fewer Democrat Blacks, Hispanics, and females take the CPA examination than Republican White males? Why do fewer Democrat Blacks, Hispanics, and females pass the examination on their first attempt than Republican White males? According to Democrats, it is because Republicans discriminate against Democrat Blacks, Hispanics, and females. That is why Democrats make Republican White males pay the price of Affirmative Action and DEI. – Dave Diersen

I should write about my critics/opponents.

NATIONAL REVIEW
— President Trump Signs Three Really Good Executive Orders on Civil Rights. The first targets the “disparate impact” approach to civil-rights enforcement. According to Democrats, a test is discriminatory if Whites and men do better on it than Blacks, Hispanics, and women. Because Whites and men do better on the CPA examination than Blacks, Hispanics, and women, my Democrat and GAO superiors stopped requiring passing the CPA examination to get hired and promoted. That rendered worthless my passing the CPA examination on my first attempt when I was 30 years old in 1979.

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Trump said on Wednesday he doesn’t want Canadian cars and claimed Canada would “cease to exist” without the United States — remarks that extend his sharp criticism of the country just days before Canadians head to the polls on Monday. “We don’t really want Canada to make cars for us, to put it bluntly. We want to make our own cars,” Trump said. Trump also suggested that he might increase import taxes on cars from Canada. “So when I put tariffs on Canada, they’re paying 25%, but that could go up in terms of cars. When we put tariffs on, all we’re doing is we’re saying, ‘We don’t want your cars, in all due respect.”)

WHITE HOUSE
— Extension of Hiring Freeze. All during the almost 18 years that I worked for the Democrats who ran GAO, the agency was almost always under Gingrich-caused hiring freezes and/or promotion freezes. My Democrat GAO superiors punished me severely because of that. They forced me to take a $23,472/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS. They delayed my promotions and never promoted me beyond GS-13. They always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay for performance purposes. They forced me to retire when I was 49 years old. They flushed down their toilets my three job-related master’s degrees, my six job-related professional certifications, and my job-related professional license. What does Gingrich have to say about that? If Gingrich had reformed GAO instead of gutting it, there would be no need for DOGE.

— Democrats invaded, infested, and conquered DuPage County to take advantage of the prosperity and safety that Republicans created there. Now they want to obliterate the county’s history. Under the Democrats, poverty and crime will ever-increasingly increase in DuPage County. Under the Democrats, there will be more and more a) welfare, b) LGBTQ, c) abortion, d) mass/illegal immigration, e) booze, gambling, pot, prostitution, and other vices, f) diminishment of Second Amendment rights, and g) Affirmative Action and DEI, that is, race and gender based preference giving, patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, religious discrimination, and national origin discrimination. DuPage County residents will have to spend more and more and more money on protecting their personal safety. They will have to avoid leaving their residences at night. They will need to know where the “no go” zones are and to avoid them. More and more and more employers will not hire Republicans and they will get rid of their Republican employees. More and more and more organizations will not admit Republican members and they will get rid of their Republican members. And even worse things. How many voted for Harris in your precinct? 478 did in my precinct.

JOURNAL COURIER
— Getting the IRS on the phone is more difficult this tax filing season. Have you ever phoned IRS with a tax question? If you did during the 1974 filing season, the IRS employee who answered your call was one of my subordinates. Back then, as a 25-year-old GS-11 (currently $82,655/year) IRS Revenue Officer, I supervised all of the IRS employees, which included a rotating staff of about 90 IRS Revenue Agent trainees, in IRS’s new downtown Chicago office who answered taxpayer questions using IRS’s new tollfree CentiPhone system. Because of my job performance, the IRS manager who had given me that developmental opportunity and who had promoted me in 1972 and 1973 promoted me to GS-12 (currently $99,069/year) in 1974.)

Nevertheless, I a) earned a bachelor’s degree from NIU when I was 21, b) earned an MBA from Loyola when I was 27, c) passed the CPA examination on my first attempt when I was 30, d) earned a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul when I was 31, e) passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt when I was 32, f) became a licensed CPA when I was 32, and g) earned a master’s degree in finance when I was 48.

— Political parties exist to help elect candidates who can and will defend and advance their platform. The Republican Party platform is conservative. What do Republican candidates, elected officials, and party leaders have to do to turn Illinois, DuPage County, Milton Township, and Wheaton red? They have to defend and advance conservative principles, that is, they have to defend and advance the Republican Party platform including its personal responsibility, traditional marriage and family, right to life, immigration, illegal drugs, Second Amendment, and equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) planks. They have to show how following conservative principles helped them succeed. They have to stop being Democrat Lite. They have to stop being anti-conservative. – Dave Diersen

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.

(FROM THE ARTICLE: “I mean, here’s Elon Musk, working for literally nothing, giving up literally billions of dollars for his activism and his patriotism, and all he is doing is saving our country,” said Mark Rice, a Republican who ran in the 2024 election to represent Illinois’ 8th Congressional District. . .Calls for protests and boycotts of Tesla have revved up across the country with reports of vandalism against Tesla vehicles and dealerships. . .The DuPage County GOP chairman released a statement on the protest, saying, “It is ridiculous that the DuPage Democrats are harassing and intimidating a local business that has contributed significantly to the Village of Lisle’s economy. This is why the Democratic Party has the lowest approval ratings that it has had since there has been polling. We are not long removed from violent protests and looting that destroyed businesses across the suburbs. Of late, Tesla locations have been vandalized across America. This thinly veiled attempt by DuPage Democrats to cancel and scare a local business over political differences is repugnant.

During the 1980s and 1990s, because of Republican budget cuts, the Democrats who ran GAO cut 3,000 jobs or half of GAO’s workforce. Even though they focused on cutting their Republican employees who were White, male, older, non-veteran, Protestant, German American, and/or had ancestors who had been in America for a long time, I nevertheless survived until 1997. I would not have survived that long if I had not a) earned job-related master’s degrees in 1997 (finance), 1980 (accounting), and 1976 (business), b) earned job-related professional certifications in 1997 (forensic accounting), 1996 (financial services auditing), 1994 (government financial management), 1990 (fraud examination), 1981 (internal auditing), and 1979 (accounting), and c) earned a job-related professional license in 1981 (CPA).

GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— Today, again using 800 mailing labels and 400 envelopes, I will hand-deliver Republican campaign literature and sample ballots to the 400 residences in my DuPage County Milton Township Precinct 59 in Wheaton that have at least one Republican or one Independent voter. I have divided my precinct into four zones. It takes me about three/four hours to walk a zone. While I walk my precinct, I will get 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

FED SMITH
— Trump Calls for Eliminating More Federal Agencies. President Trump has issued an Executive Order that requires making cuts to 7 federal entities that he has deemed unnecessary. 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.
