To defeat Republicans, those who are the following are ever-increasingly joining together: younger, non-conservative, non-White, non-male, non-heterosexual, non-married, non-rich, non-Christian, non-German American, have ancestors who have not been in America for a long time, non-citizen, etc. Consequently, the future is ever-increasingly bleak for Republicans who are older, conservative, White, male, heterosexual, married, non-poor, Christian, German American, have ancestors who have been in America for a long time, citizens of America, etc.
What do your critics/opponents want? My critics/opponents want ever-increasing more a) preference for those who share their demographics, b) cheap labor, c) socialism and then communism, d) destruction of traditional marriage and family, that is, LGBTQ, e) abortion, f) mass/illegal immigration, g) booze, gambling, pot, and other vices, h) abolition if the Second Amendment, and i) Affirmative Action and more DEI, that is, patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, religious discrimination, and national origin discrimination.
Democrats ever-increasingly run Illinois. If you are Republican and if you are not leaving Illinois, you should ever-increasingly take steps to defend yourself against Democrats. Democrats will ever-increasingly do everything that they can to drive you out of Illinois. They will ever-increasingly take away your voice in government, your income, your assets, and your safety.
For Democrats, politics and government exist to take everything away from Republicans and to give everything to Democrats. My Democrat superiors in the federal government took my career away from me and gave it to my Democrat coworkers. When I was 49 years old in 1997, my Democrat GAO superiors forced me to retire. They took my job away from me and gave it to my Black Democrat subordinate. He had less work experience than I had. He had less education than I had. He had one professional certification while I has six. He had no professional license like the one I had.

— New Pentagon Press Crew Is All In on Trump. The Defense Department’s new press policy led to an exodus of traditional journalists. Supporters of the president have stepped in. DD: According to my critics/opponents, I am not a reporter or a journalist a) because I do not claim to be non-partisan, b) because none of my four college degrees, six professional certifications, and professional license are in journalism, and c) because I am not paid for what I do. In my defense, I stress that I worked for GAO as an Analyst for almost 18 years, the last 11 years of which at the GS-13 Step 1-10 Levels, currently $117,807-$153,151/year and that what GAO Analysts do is very similar to what reports and journalists do.
https://www.nytimes.com/2025/11/04/business/media/new-pentagon-press-crew-is-all-in-on-trump.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: When Mike Lindell, the chief executive of MyPillow and the founder of the upstart digital news site LindellTV, recently heard about the chance to secure a Pentagon press credential, he immediately applied for four. The outlet, which strongly supports the Trump administration and is known for promoting election conspiracy theories, already had accredited journalists stationed at the White House and in Congress. The Pentagon would be a perfect capstone, he thought. “We’re going to make them proud,” he said about the administration in an interview. It has been nearly three weeks since dozens of legacy outlets — including The New York Times, The Washington Post and the three major broadcast news networks — Fox News and Newsmax surrendered press passes that gave their journalists access to the Pentagon. They did so after declining to sign on to new rules that, according to many media lawyers, curbed their First Amendment rights to report on the military. Many of those outlets have continued aggressive coverage of the military from outside the Pentagon since then. In their place, a fresh crop of news media has stepped forward to occupy the Pentagon’s tightly circumscribed press areas, ones with a strikingly different philosophy when it comes to traditional journalistic notions about the fourth estate and holding truth to power. The Pentagon said it would not release a list of the outlets in the changing press corps, but The Times was able to identify a dozen of them. They range from widely popular right-wing podcasts to niche publications largely focused on issues like abortion, but are similar in their unwavering support for the Trump administration and the firm belief that ruffling government feathers is decidedly not part of the job description. “We’re there for the big-ticket narrative stuff,” Raheem Kassam, editor in chief of the National Pulse, a part of the new Pentagon press detachment, wrote in a text message. He called his publication “basically an industry mag/site for MAGA world.” Initially, the National Pulse’s eyes and ears in the Pentagon will be Will Upton, who worked in the Treasury Department during the first Trump administration and has been a frequent and vocal critic of traditional journalists, whom he has characterized as partisan actors. Laura Loomer, the influential pro-Trump activist, said in a post on X late on Monday that she would be joining the Pentagon press corps, writing that she looks forward to “breaking more stories that impact our country and our national security.” News of her accreditation was reported earlier by The Washington Post. Other new arrivals include LifeSite News, a Catholic advocacy publication, whose Pentagon reporter is a former aide to Representative Paul Gosar, an Arizona Republican, and has been accused of making antisemitic and misogynistic remarks; RedState, owned by the Christian radio giant Salem Media, whose reporter was the communications director for James O’Keefe, the right-wing hidden camera journalist who founded Project Veritas; and Gateway Pundit, a site that often has spread conspiracy theories, which will have two military correspondents, including one who is perhaps best known for her work pushing for pardons for participants in the Capitol riot on Jan. 6, 2021. David Schulz, director of Yale Law School’s Media Freedom and Information Access Clinic, who serves as legal counsel for the Pentagon Press Association, said that the new rules amounted to an effort to limit what journalists could report and that the new outlets had pro-Trump leanings in common. “These new regulations are really not about national security,” Mr. Schulz said. “They’re about controlling viewpoint and content.” In a statement, Sean Parnell, the chief Defense Department spokesman, said the traditional news outlets had misrepresented the policy. “The so-called ‘journalists’ staged a self-deportation and filmed their theatrics,” he said. “We are proud to see the new wave of highly motivated journalists, who value truth, occupy the Correspondents Corridor.” Mr. Parnell had previously said in a social media post that the newcomers amounted to more than 60 journalists, roughly equivalent to the number of traditional reporters who handed in their badges on Oct. 15. A handful of outlets that had been in the Pentagon press corps previously, including The Epoch Times and One America News Network, agreed to sign the policy and have remained there. Mr. Parnell’s post prompted announcements from outlets that said they would be getting credentials, among them Human Events and the Post Millennial, sister sites that share a single owner and frequent contributions from Jack Posobiec, the well-known podcaster and Navy veteran who has a close relationship with numerous Trump administration officials, including Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. “We repealed and replaced the press pool,” Mr. Posobiec said in a recent interview on Real America’s Voice, which itself said on X that it would be getting a Pentagon credential. Libby Emmons, editor in chief of Human Events and the Post Millennial, said she had requested four passes for her staff and signed the new Pentagon press policy. “There should be a place for reporting on what they are doing without always trying to expose the dark underbelly,” Ms. Emmons said. “And that’s part of why I said sure, I’ll sign your thing and come check it out.” Major Washington outposts — Congress, the White House, the State Department and the Pentagon — have long had their own press corps: packs of print reporters, television correspondents and their camera crews, who hover in the hallways and tag along with officials as they travel. President Trump and his appointees have often criticized the journalists who follow them on a daily basis, but until now, the administration has never gone so far as to effectively remake an entire press corps. “I’ve never seen anything like that, and it doesn’t seem to resemble anything from a team that respects an actual independent press corps,” said Eric Schultz, who served as a press aide under President Barack Obama. Ms. Emmons said she had received an unsolicited invitation to apply for credentials after the legacy journalists refused to sign the new rules. “We value what the press does every single day, but unfortunately we have seen a lot of the mainstream media continue to lie,” Kingsley Wilson, Defense Department spokeswoman, said in an interview that same day with Frontlines, a media arm of Turning Point USA. That outlet subsequently announced that it, too, would be joining the new Pentagon media crew. Several of those joining the new press corps live nowhere near the nation’s capital, even though the department’s published policies say credentialed correspondents should be at the Pentagon, just outside Washington, “at least three times a month.” Tim Pool, the beanie-wearing right-wing podcaster, said on X that he did “not intend to maintain a significant presence in the Pentagon” after disclosing that his outlet, Timcast Media, was also getting a credential. Last year, a federal investigation revealed that Mr. Pool was paid to produce videos for a company that was secretly funded by the Russian government. Mr. Pool, who was not charged, has claimed he was unaware of where the payments, which amounted to $100,000 per video, came from. Under the new policy, journalists could get in trouble — and even lose access permanently — for soliciting government employees to “violate the law by providing confidential government information.” Securing confidential information is the bread and butter of accountability reporting and has produced some of the most important journalism of the past century. There are few signs, however, that the reconstituted Pentagon press corps has aspirations to test the limits of those rules. Mr. Pool, on his podcast, said, “We are not an investigative news organization.” He added: “We do not have journalists meeting with sources in parking garages while they kick over a manila folder with secret documents. We don’t do any of that.” Mr. Lindell, for his part, said he would “follow the rules to the T,” echoing the contention by Pentagon officials that leaks — even of nonclassified information — are a threat to national security. “We would never do anything like the mainstream media does to jeopardize our country,” he added.)

— Illinois sues over rule change in forgiving federal public service student loans. DD: Democrats ever-increasingly break federal laws. While I was a federal employee for almost 30 years, I never broke any federal law. I fully complied with federal laws that required me to give preference to my subordinates who were minority, female, and/or veteran. But that was not enough for my Democrat superiors.
https://chicago.suntimes.com/education/2025/11/03/ag-raoul-21-other-attorneys-general-sue-trump-admin-over-public-service-loan-forgiveness-rule-change
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The U.S. Education Department issued a new rule Friday threatening to deem employers, including state governments, as having “substantial illegal purpose,” and revoking them from the Public Service Loan Forgiveness program. According to the lawsuit, the Trump administration is going after its usual targets in organizations that “support for immigrants, gender affirming care, DEI initiatives, and political protest.” The loan forgiveness program would wipe out student loans for anyone working an eligible job in public service after they had made 120 monthly loan payments at said job, which would take 10 years. . .Per the new rule, organizations whose employees show a “pattern” of being cited for trespassing, disorderly conduct, public nuisance, vandalism or obstruction of highways — charges often associated with protest and civil disobedience — could have their loan forgiveness status revoked, though “pattern” isn’t defined in the rule change, according to the suit. Employers who provide gender-affirming care to minors also run the risk of being yanked from the loan forgiveness program under the new rule, which cites previous Trump executive orders targeting trans health care.)

https://citizenportal.ai/articles/6016865/Kane-County/Illinois/Treasurer-proposes-resolution-backing-Gwen-Henry-for-IMRF-trustee-colleague-raises-procedure-concerns
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Kane County Treasurer Chris Lauzen presented a proposed resolution on Aug. 27 asking the committee to petition on behalf of DuPage County Treasurer Gwen Henry as a candidate for an open executive trustee seat on the Illinois Municipal Retirement Fund (IMRF) board. Lauzen described Henry as a long‑serving DuPage County treasurer with experience in municipal finance and trustee studies; he said having a county friend on IMRF’s board could be beneficial given IMRF’s much larger asset base and influence on actuarial assumptions. “It’s always good to have friends at the table,” Lauzen said during his remarks. Procedural objection: A committee member raised a procedural concern, saying nominations of this type are typically presented first to the county chair for vetting. The chair of the committee acknowledged the concern, accepted responsibility for placing the item on the agenda without prior consultation and apologized to the committee chair. The item was referred to the committee process for potential future consideration. Why it matters: IMRF sets actuarial assumptions and policies that affect employer pension contributions across local governments in Illinois. Committee members noted that board representation and relationships can influence policy conversations important to employers and taxpayers. Next steps: Treasurer Lauzen indicated he offered the draft resolution for committee consideration but the committee did not take final action at the Aug. 27 meeting pending adherence to internal vetting protocol. Committee members emphasized they expect nominations and requests of this nature to be coordinated with the county chair going forward.)

Whether you’re about to finish high school, already in college, or working in a professional field, the Army may have an officer path for you to serve and grow as a leader. You can earn a commission in the U.S. Army through one of four programs: the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, the Army Reserve Officers’ Training Corps (ROTC), Officer Candidate School (OCS) or direct appointment. Most programs require a high school diploma at minimum, though some require a college degree. Applicants must meet age, physical and medical standards, and be U.S. citizens or permanent residents.)

https://www.aol.com/articles/hegseth-championed-diversity-harvard-masters-170733371.html
(FROM THE ARTILE: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth previously championed diversity in a 2013 policy brief for Havard’s Kennedy School before knocking it as a crutch for minorities during his current stint in the Trump administration. As a master’s student, Hegseth produced a 47-page brief that advocated for the creation of a multicultural STEM school in Minnesota, according to reports. “Ensuring low-income and minority children have the same opportunities as more affluent majority students is an essential goal and worth pursuing with vigor and substantial investment,” Hegseth wrote almost 12 years ago, according to The Boston Globe, which reviewed the brief. “Our country and state must strive for equal opportunity for all, regardless of race, class, geography, or gender,” he added. The detailed proposal heavily included comments from Democrats, including the late Minnesota state Rep. Melissa Hortman, whom he referenced as a “political champion,” as reported by The Harvard Crimson.)

My Democrat IRS superiors never promoted me beyond GS-12, disallowed my education deductions in 1978, and disallowed my travel vouchers in 1974. My Democrat Post Office superiors forced me to resign in 1969 and disallowed my sick leave requests in 1969 and 1968.

Critics of the rule say the department is trying to exclude organizations that work with LGBTQ individuals, immigrants and transgender children from the program. DD: Democrats ever-increasingly break federal laws. While I was a federal employee for almost 30 years, I never broke any federal law. I fully complied with federal laws that required me to give preference to my subordinates who were minority, female, and/or veteran. But that was not enough for my Democrat superiors.
https://www.politico.com/news/2025/11/03/education-department-sued-over-controversial-loan-forgiveness-rule-00633707
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The rule amends what employers will qualify for the Public Service Loan Forgiveness program, which allows civil service and nonprofit workers to have their student loans canceled after they’ve made 120 qualifying monthly payments. It states that employers that have “substantial illegal purpose” will not be eligible for the program. This includes supporting terrorism and trafficking children to emancipate them from their parents, among other things.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: David Smith, executive director of the Illinois Family Institute, is an opponent of the bill. “Lawmakers have once again chosen left-wing ideology over integrity,” Smith said. “It redefines what it means to be a mother, father and family. It doesn’t promote equality, it erases the natural and moral distinctions that God Himself ordained.”)

— Who did you compete against for promotions? While I worked the Democrats who ran the federal government for almost 30 years, all my coworkers who I competed against for promotions were Democrats who were minority, female, younger than me, veteran, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or had ancestors who had not been in America for a long time. All of my coworkers who my Democrat superiors promoted over me were most, virtually all, if not all of the aforesaid. According to my critics/opponents, the aforesaid proves that I am an unmitigated loser if not worse things. They use against me my having been passed over so many times for promotions even though I had three job-related master’s degrees, six job-related professional certifications, and a job-related professional license. According to them, that further proves that I am an unmitigated loser, if not worse things. Further, they use against me the fact that those who were promoted over me a) had less work experience than I had, b) had less education than I had, c) had no professional certifications or fewer than I had, and/or d) had no professional license like the one I had. According to my critics/opponents, my Democrat superiors a) never gave any preference to my Democrat coworkers and b) never discriminated against me. Further, according to them, IRS should not have promoted me in 1972, 1973, or 1974 and GAO should not have promoted me in 1986. I should write about my critics/opponents. – Dave Diersen

FROM ILLINOIS CENTER-LEFT SOURCES
CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— FRONT PAGE WITH PICTURE OF DABROWSKI: Republican race for Illinois governor already spiraling downward over questionable campaign tactics. DD: The Chicago Tribune ever-increasingly does everything that it can a) to determine which candidates win Republican primaries in Illinois and b) to defeat those candidates in general elections.
https://www.chicagotribune.com/2025/10/21/illinois-gop-governor-race-infighting/
https://www.yahoo.com/news/articles/republican-race-illinois-governor-already-024200832.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The devolution of Illinois’ Republican Party continued Tuesday as a candidate for governor refused to denounce two political operatives tied to a right-wing fake newspaper website that published a story containing an internet link detailing salacious allegations against a rival, while a new candidate emerged with a controversial background as a gambling mogul. At a brief news conference, GOP governor candidate Ted Dabrowski refused to discuss the public disclosure of a years-old draft harassment complaint involving rival Darren Bailey and his 2022 campaign. The allegations, stemming from Bailey’s failed 2022 bid for governor, were never formally filed in court and have not been verified, but were linked to a politically motivated news article shared online. Dabrowski, former president of the conservative research and advocacy group Wirepoints, also would not answer questions about Jeanne Ives and right-wing radio talk show host Dan Proft, both of whom supported Bailey in 2022 but are now backing Dabrowski. Ives is an acolyte of Proft, and Proft has been a business partner of Brian Timpone, who oversees one of many so-called “pink-slime” publications — fake newspapers used as a political tool — that included a link to the unverified claims. Ives, who has lost previous bids for governor and Congress, also posted the article with the link on her Facebook page. “Ordinary Illinoisans, Chicagoans, Illinoisans, don’t care about political infighting between campaigns. And I’m not going to get into that,” Dabrowski said during the news conference, which lasted less than 10 minutes. The GOP race for governor in the March 17 primary and the right to take on billionaire second-term Democrat JB Pritzker began spiraling late last week when a Timpone-run publication posted the link to a 37-page confidential draft lawsuit within an online article about a political action committee called the Save Illinois PAC. That PAC, which spent over $39,500 to help launch Bailey’s second bid for the Republican nomination for governor, is run by Brett Corrigan, a former political worker for Bailey who made the allegations during Bailey’s first run for governor in 2022, when he was 17 years old. The Tribune is not detailing the allegations contained in the draft lawsuit because it was never filed in court and not verified, and the legal dispute apparently ended in a closed-door resolution between Corrigan and Bailey. The Chicago Tribune first reported on the dispute between Corrigan and the Bailey campaign days before the November 2022 general election. At the time of the 2022 campaign, Proft was supportive of Bailey and used his People Who Play By The Rules PAC to back the Republican former state lawmaker from downstate. Proft, of Naples, Florida, also has been the conduit of tens of millions of dollars in contributions to Illinois candidates from conservative megadonor Richard Uihlein of Lake Forest, who founded the Uline office supply distribution firm. Uihlein, in 2022, overwhelmingly funded the People Who Play By The Rules PAC, but this year has given $250,000 to Dabrowski’s campaign. In 2022, Proft sought to inject himself into the potential litigation between Corrigan and Bailey. By law, the PAC was not supposed to coordinate its spending activities with Bailey’s campaign but text messages show efforts by Proft to try to intercede in the legal matter, raising questions over whether Proft was closer to the campaign than previously acknowledged. After Corrigan retained Orland Park attorney Scott Kaspar to pursue a proposed confidential settlement agreement, Proft weighed in, apparently in an effort to quash the filing of a possible lawsuit that could become public ahead of the 2022 general election. Pritzker ended up defeating Bailey by about 13 percentage points. The Democratic Party of Illinois filed a complaint with the Illinois State Board of Elections the day after the Tribune story was published, alleging Proft and Bailey’s campaign illegally coordinated their efforts to oppose Pritzker’s reelection bid. But the board rejected the complaint last year, in part, because Illinois law does not specifically define what activities constitute “coordination” that would render the actions of an independent expenditure PAC and the candidate it supports illegal. “While Darren Bailey and (his lieutenant governor running mate) Aaron Del Mar are focused on defeating Democrats and fixing Illinois, it’s unfortunate that Jeanne Ives is once again reprising her role as the Democrats’ favorite ‘Republican,’” Bailey campaign spokesman Jose Durbin said in a statement. “Jeanne Ives is a sore loser who’s been bitter ever since she couldn’t even beat (former one-term GOP Gov.) Bruce Rauner in a Republican primary. She’s made a career out of attacking fellow conservatives instead of fighting Democrats. At this point, she’s nothing more than a political grifter looking for attention.” Besides sharing the faux-news article and link on her Facebook page, Ives also commented on it by writing, “The Bailey Clown Show and Grift.” Appearing at Dabrowski’s news conference Tuesday, she denied being the source of the draft complaint. “I have no idea who leaked it. Zero idea,” Ives said. “I was concerned about the ‘Save Illinois PAC.’ They raise monies for reasons that they never told the donors at all. And then they gave $40,000 to the Bailey campaign. I mean, that was the bigger concern for me.” Despite hosting a Bailey kickoff event earlier this year in Oak Brook, Corrigan has now left Bailey’s 2026 campaign, signing up as chair for a new contender, Rick Heidner of Barrington Hills, a real estate developer and founder of Gold Rush Gaming. Heidner filed campaign finance paperwork Tuesday to run for the GOP governor nomination with Homer Glen Mayor Christina Neitzke-Troike as his running mate. He also disclosed that he had seeded his campaign with $1 million. In October 2019, a Chicago Tribune investigation revealed that for nearly two decades, Heidner owned numerous commercial properties via shell companies in several states with Rocco Suspenzi, the longtime chairman and part owner of Parkway Bank and Trust in Harwood Heights. In 2003, the Illinois Gaming Board and the FBI exposed Suspenzi and son Jeffrey for concealing their own ownership stake, as well as that of a reputed mob figure, in the infamous Emerald casino project. Suspenzi and his son invoked their Fifth Amendment rights against self-incrimination in 2005 when the Gaming Board sought to question them about their role in concealing the ownership stakes of reputed Outfit-linked investors Vito Salamone and Nick Boscarino. At the same time, Heidner had a similar real estate partnership with convicted bookmaker Dominic Buttitta. Together, they owned a building in Elgin that was leased to a bar licensed for video gambling that used Heidner’s Gold Rush machines. In 2012, Buttitta pleaded guilty to federal charges of running an illegal sportsbook from the South Elgin strip club he controlled. The revelations led in part to Pritzker’s decision to cancel the sale of the former Tinley Park Mental Health Center property, which Heidner had sought to purchase for a horse racing and casino facility. In April 2021, Heidner and state gaming regulators reached a settlement after the state withdrew allegations that he had offered an illegal $5 million inducement to purchase a rival video gambling chain. Heidner has been a frequent political donor, in February giving $25,000 to the conservative Republican group McHenry GOPAC and in 2022 he gave $25,000 to Richard Irvin, the former mayor of Aurora, who unsuccessfully sought the Republican nomination for governor that year. But Heidner has also contributed to Democratic candidates, including $25,000 to Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson and $5,000 to Cook County Board President Toni Preckwinkle in 2023, as well as $5,000 to Don Harmon, now the president of the Illinois Senate, in 2017. Corrigan confirmed that he’s supporting Heidner, stating that he and Heidner have been good friends for a long time. But Corrigan said he still considers Bailey a friend, though there are people who could take their previous falling out “to make a mess of politics.” “It seems like Republicans attack each other harder than the opposition does,” Corrigan said. Kaspar echoed that sentiment, saying the infighting is “a sad testament of the state of the Illinois Republican Party.” “It’s a very fractured party,” said Kaspar, the general counsel for the Illinois Review, a conservative website that published an article about the draft complaint saga this week.)

NEW YORK POST
— How Donald Trump can show his support for immigrants who do it right. DD: What about offering more work permits for citizens of foreign countries who will take bad jobs that citizens of America ever-increasingly refuse to take? But wait, citizens of foreign countries can get bad jobs in their motherlands. How many citizens of foreign countries would take the bad jobs that I took? I did yard work 1962-1964. I delivered newspapers 1962-1966. I washed dishes 1964-1966. I cleaned golf shoes, chipped slag, and pumped gasoline in 1966. I delivered mail 1966-1969. I worked on an automotive assembly line in 1970. I sold tires, automotive services, and major appliances 1971-1972. I pumped more gasoline 1971-1972. I collected delinquent taxes 1971-1980. I audited federal agencies 1980-1997. According to my critics/opponents, a) all the jobs that I had were bad jobs that they would never have stooped to take and b) I was grossly overpaid for those jobs and my pension and retirement benefits are much too generous.

ASSOCIATED PRESS
— Trump pick to lead the Office of Special Counsel (OSC) withdraws after offensive text messages revealed. DD: To get rid of me, my Democrat superiors in the federal government took many prohibited personnel actions against me. OSC did not come to my defense when my Democrat GAO superiors forced me to retire when I was 49 years old in 1997, delayed my promotions and never promoted me beyond GS-13, always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance, kept me off audits of IRS for all but 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for GAO, and forced me to take a $23,472/year pay cut to transfer from IRS. OSC did not come to my defense when my Democrat IRS superiors never promoted me beyond GS-12, disallowed my education expenses, and disallowed my travel vouchers. OSC did not come to my defense when my Democrat Post Office superiors forced me to resign and disallowed my sick leave requests.
https://www.nprillinois.org/2025-10-21/trump-pick-to-lead-watchdog-agency-withdraws-after-offensive-text-messages-revealed
(OSC: The U.S. Office of Special Counsel (OSC) is an independent federal investigative and prosecutorial agency. OSC’s statutory authority comes from four federal laws: the Civil Service Reform Act, the Whistleblower Protection Act, the Hatch Act, and the Uniformed Services Employment & Reemployment Rights Act (USERRA). OSC’s primary mission is to safeguard the merit system by protecting federal employees and applicants from prohibited personnel practices (PPPs), especially reprisal for whistleblowing. For a description of the 14 PPPs, click here. OSC also operates as a secure channel for federal employees to blow the whistle by disclosing wrongdoing. Federal law establishes a unique process for disclosures made to OSC, intended to protect the confidentiality of the whistleblower and ensure that the alleged wrongdoing is investigated and, where necessary, corrected. For a description of the six types of covered wrongdoing, click here. In addition, OSC enforces the Hatch Act, which puts certain restrictions on partisan political activity by government employees (learn more). It also protects the civilian employment and reemployment rights of military service members under USERRA (learn more).)

— What car does Mark Zuckerberg drive every day? One of the richest people on Earth drives an American luxury car instead of a foreign supercar. DD: The American nameplate muscle cars at Iron Gate Motor Condos in Naperville are ever-increasingly being replaced by expensive foreign supercars. But my unit there has a 2025 Dodge Charger Daytona Plus, a 2013 Dodge Charger R/t Max, and a 2005 Corvette.

(FROM THE ARTICLE: What would you drive if you had millions of dollars in the bank? Last summer, Forbes published a list of the richest people in every state. Unsurprisingly, Mark Zuckerberg, cofounder of Facebook and CEO of Meta Platforms, is listed as the richest person in California as of July 2025. Zuckerberg’s current net worth is over $242 billion dollars according to Forbes, making him the third-richest person on the planet at time of publication. So, what does a multibillionaire drive? Furthermore, is it a vehicle average Americans can afford? Mark Zuckerberg daily drives a Cadillac CT5 V-Blackwing, according to an article by automotive publication AutoEvolution.)

WALL STREET JOURNAL
— A Mamdani Mayoralty Threatens New York’s Jews. DD: Virtually all of my Democrat GS-14 GAO Chicago office superiors were antisemites. They were furious when GAO promoted a Democrat Jewish woman instead of them to GS-15, currently $163,749-$195,200/year, to lead the office’s group that would to audit federal financial industry regulators in 1990. They wanted her to fail. Virtually none of my GS-13 coworkers volunteered to work for her. The GS-14s were furious that I volunteered to work for her. I volunteered to work for her because they would not assign me to the group that would audit IRS and auditing federal financial industry regulators was my best alternative. But beyond that, I was impressed by the fact that she had earned an MBA from the University of Chicago and she had passed the CPA examination on her first attempt. The GS-14s were intimidated by that; but I was not. While the GS-14s did everything that they could to make her fail, I did everything that I could to help her succeed. But nevertheless, in when I was 49 years old in September of 1997, she took the lead in forcing me to retire.

— The Trump Admin’s Focus On Fertility Is All About Social Control. The Trump administration has passed policies this year that represent a concerning trend toward pronatalism. Making IVF more affordable alone isn’t an issue. People should be able to have families on their own terms and of their own design. But it’s yet another false crisis created by the administration to justify its racist, anti-immigration, white nationalist agenda. DD: My Democrat GAO superiors used my wife and I giving up trying to have children without trying IVF against me big time. I should write about my Democrat GAO superiors and what they did to punish me. Of course, Duckworth would approve of what they did to punish me.

— 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.)

(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.”)

Pope Leo XIV has criticized how wealthy people live in a “bubble of comfort and luxury” while the poor suffer. DD: My critics/opponents have always demonized me, denigrated me, and condemned me as being undeservedly wealthy. It all started when I was 17 years old in 1966 when I bought a new 1966 Pontiac Tempest Sprint. In my defense, I bought that car with money I earned washing dishes for the minimum wage for 18 months. 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. In my defense, I bought those cars with money I earned delivering mail for the Park Forest Post Office. It got worse in 1971 when I bought a new 1972 Corvette. I my defense, I bought that car with money I earned working for IRS and working part-time for the Firestone Store in Chicago Heights. It got worse in 1972 when I bought a new town home in University Park.

Because my ACT score was only 24 and because I only just barely made it into the upper 20% of my high school class, one could argue that because I did the aforesaid, just about anyone could.

— 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.

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!)

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.
