(FROM THE ARTICLE: Darin LaHood, U.S. Rep. Darin LaHood, 16th. While the eventual Democratic nominee is expected to have the advantage in a state where party members have held all statewide elected offices since 2019, Republican U.S. Rep. Darin LaHood of Peoria has acknowledged he is considering a Senate bid. LaHood, the son of former longtime GOP congressman and Obama transportation secretary Ray LaHood, had nearly $5.9 million in his federal campaign fund as of April 1. One of only three House Republicans in Illinois’ 17-member congressional delegation, LaHood has served since 2015 in Congress and has been a strong supporter of Trump.)

A big reason why my wife and I bought a home in Wheaton in 1978 and had one built in Wheaton in 1984 was that they were in walking distance from Metra. We both worked in the Loop.

— Pope’s old Dolton house tells a familiar south suburban story. I lived in 1286 Wood street in Crete 1954-1972. I should write about that home. My grandparents had it built in 1926. My parents inherited it from them. My brother and I inherited it from our parents. I inherited it when my brother died. It had been regularly maintained and upgraded, but not after my father died suddenly in 1969. SEE: https://www.estately.com/listings/info/1286-wood-street-crete-il-60417

— What happens when employers have to pay a higher minimum wage. Did you work for the minimum wage? I did part-time while I was a junior and senior in high school and the summer in between 1964-1966. With the money that I earned and saved, I bought a new 1966 Pontiac Tempest Sprint (a poor man’s GAO) in May of 1966. It was red, black interior, 3-speed Hurst on the floor, and 3.55 rear end. I used it to get to/from a) jobs during the summer of 1966, b) classes at UIC 1966-1967, and c) my Park Forest Post Office job 1966-1967. I sold it and bought a new 1968 Oldsmobile 442 in December of 1967. SEE: https://over-drive-magazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/1965-12-CD-1966-Pontiac-Tempest-Sprint-Test-1-4.pdf

FROM ILLINOIS CENTER-RIGHT SOURCES

GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— Why do people get involved in Republican politics? For far too many, it is to get the Republican Party to strike the personal responsibility, traditional marriage and family, right to life, immigration, illegal drugs, Second Amendment, and/or equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) planks in its platform. I promote the aforesaid planks. I should write about those Republican candidates, elected officials, party leaders, activists, major donors, fundraisers, pollsters, etc. in Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois a) who reject one or more of the aforesaid planks and b) who have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me lately. I would focus on those who reject the equal opportunity plank. – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com
— Who wants you to pay more taxes? My critics/opponents have always wanted me to pay more taxes. According to them, I can and should pay more taxes a) because I avoided the Vietnam War draft, b) because I worked for IRS for almost 9 years, and c) because my wife and I gave up trying to have children. I should write about my critics/opponents. I would focus on those whose parents were wealthy and who bought them cars, paid for their colleges expenses, got them jobs, etc. I would focus on those who benefitted the most from Affirmative Action and/or DEI, that is, who benefitted the most from race and/or gender based preference giving. – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com
— To get more votes from minorities and from women, Democrat leaders ever-increasingly give minorities and women more preference. All the minorities and women who my Democrat superiors in the federal government promoted over me a) were Democrats, b) had less work experience than I had, c) had less education than I had, d) had no professional certifications or fewer than I had, and/or e) had no professional license like the one I had. All were younger than me, veteran, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or had ancestors who had not been in America for a long time. – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com
— How did Nixon impact you? Nixon was president while I worked for the Democrats a) who ran the Post Office in 1969 and b) who ran IRS 1971-1974. They despised/hated Nixon. They blamed Nixon, and therefore Republicans, for America losing the Vietnam War. They punished me, a draft avoider, to punish Nixon. My Democrat Post Office superiors disallowed my sick leave request and forced me to resign in 1969. My Democrat IRS superiors disallowed my travel vouchers in 1974, they disallowed my education deductions in 1978, and they made it clear that they would never promote me to GS-13. They did the aforesaid even though a) I earned an MBA in 1976, b) I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, and c) I earned a master’s degree in accounting in 1980. – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com
— If your critics/opponents were asked what limited your career, what would they say? Mine would stress a) that my ACT score was only 24, b) that I only just barely made it into the upper 20% of my high school class, c) that while I have four college degrees, my GPAs were not that great, none of the colleges are Ivy League, and I did not earn my master’s degrees until I was 27, 31, and 48, d) that while I passed the CPA and Certified Internal Auditor examinations on my first attempt, I did not do that until I was 30 and 32 and my scores were not that great, e) that while I became a licensed CPA, it was not until I was 32, and f) that while I earned four more professional certifications, it was not until I was 41, 45, 47, and 48. My critics/opponents ignore/dismiss/belittle the fact a) that my superiors were always under tremendous pressure from Democrat politicians to give preference to their employees who were Democrat, minority, female, younger, and/or veteran, b) that I avoided the Vietnam War draft, c) that I complained about political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination, and d) that I became an active member in a class action lawsuit that charged my superiors with reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation when I was 40. – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com
— What lists are/were you on? Mine include a) Vietnam War draft avoiders, b) federal employees who never made GS-14, c) employees who complained about political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and/or age discrimination, d) lawsuit filers, and e) employees who were forced to retire early. What do you think of people who are/were on the aforesaid lists? – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com
— Anti-religious people, that is, Democrats, promote dependency on government and charity, LGBTQ, abortion, mass/illegal immigration, booze, gambling, pot, prostitution, and other vices, abolition of the Second Amendment, and Affirmative Action and DEI, that is, race and gender based preference giving, patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, religious discrimination, national origin discrimination, and even worse things. Anti-religious people, that is, Democrats, want the Pope to promote the aforesaid. – Dave Diersen

— Ever-increasingly, to be a Democrat is to be anti-conservative, anti-Republican, anti-American, anti-White, anti-male, anti-older people, anti-non-poor people, anti-Protestant, anti-German American, and/or anti those who have ancestors who have been in America for a long time. – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com
–138 registered Republican voters in my precinct (38% of its 361 registered Republican voters) who voted in the April 1, 2025 election. In a precinct letter that I am considering sending, I would a) thank them for voting, b) recap the April 1, 2025 election results, c) list the offices on the March 17, 2026 Republican primary ballot in our precinct, and d) stress my efforts to encourage the Milton Township Republican Organization to promote Wheaton’s and Glen Ellyn’s July 4, 2026 Independence Day parades and to encourage Republican participation in those parades. I hope that Republican candidates for U.S. Senate, U.S. Congress, Illinois statewide, Illinois senate and house, DuPage countywide, and DuPage County District 4 will all have entries. – Dave Diersen

— The GAO Tries to Save a Bad Biden Rule. It bows to Democrats and ignores its own clear precedent. GAO is run by Democrats. When I was 31 years old in 1980, I was one of the last Republicans GAO hired. They gambled and lost that I would become a Democrat. They did everything that they could to waste my career and to get rid of me. They forced me to take a $23,472/year (21%) pay cut to transfer from IRS. They delayed my promotions and never promoted me beyond GS-13. They kept me off audits of IRS for all but 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for them. 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 in 1997.

DAILY HERALD
— New Illinois, an organization that wants to create a state separate from Chicago and urban Cook County, drew about 60 people to a meeting Saturday at the Palatine Township Republican Organization office. Illinois counties that are run by Democrats are completely different from Illinois counties that are run by Republicans. Sooner or later, Illinois counties that are run by Democrats promote dependency on government and charity, LGBTQ (the destruction of traditional marriage and family), abortion, mass/illegal immigration, booze, gambling, pot, prostitution, 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. I should write about the Democrat invasion, infiltration, infestation, conquering, and inevitable destruction of DuPage County, Milton Township, Wheaton, Wheaton Warrenville School District 200, and my precinct.

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Any separation would have to be passed by the Illinois General Assembly as well as by the United States Congress. The last successful separation measure was the split of West Virginia from Virginia. West Virginia arrived at statehood in 1863 but its final composition wasn’t determined until an 1871 Supreme Court ruling.)
— GOP balks at approving even a fraction of Musk’s DOGE cuts. During the 1980s and 1990s, RINO senators and RINO representatives did not balk at Gingrich’s GAO budget cuts. The Democrats who ran GAO used Gingrich’s budget cuts to get rid of the agency’s remaining Republican employees including me. If Gingrich had reformed GAO instead of gutting it, there would be no need for DOGE.

— Mexico’s president says she rejected Trump’s plan to send US troops across the border. Constructively, Mexico had declared war on America. FROM GOOGLE AI: The US military maintains a significant global presence with thousands of troops and hundreds of bases across nearly every continent. While the exact number of bases is difficult to determine due to varying classifications and ongoing changes, estimates range from 750 to over 900. The US has the largest number of overseas military bases compared to any other country, accounting for roughly 75-85% of the total. Key Locations and Troop Distribution: Japan, Germany, and South Korea: These countries host the largest number of US military bases and troops. Japan alone has over 50,000 US troops. Middle East: The US maintains a considerable military presence in the Middle East, with forces in numerous countries and on ships in the region’s waters, particularly in response to threats from Iran and its affiliated groups. Europe: The US has a significant military presence in Europe, particularly in countries like Germany, Italy, and the United Kingdom, with many bases being NATO interoperable.

GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— Which Republican candidates are going to walk in Wheaton’s 2025 Independence Day parade? There will be a U.S Senate office, five Illinois statewide offices, and five DuPage countywide offices on the November 3, 2026 ballot. At the 2000 Illinois Republican Party State Convention in Springfield, I urged Governor George Ryan to invite Bush to walk in Wheaton’s 2000 Independence Day parade. While Bush did not walk in that parade, he and Cheney did walk in Naperville’s 2000 Labor Day parade. I was there at the rally before the parade started when the “open mike” incident occurred because the Bush team refused to let Ryan introduce Bush. Dole walked with Edgar in Wheaton’s 1996 Independence Day parade. Obama and his wife walked in Wheaton’s 2004 Independence Day parade. I served as the Republican fundraiser for Wheaton Independence Day parades and fireworks from 2005 until Democrat and RINO DuPage County, Milton Township, and Wheaton leaders succeeded in having their operatives and dupes end that in 2021. – Dave Diersen

They flushed down their toilets my almost 27 years of work experience, my three job-related master’s degrees, my six job-related professional certifications, and my job-related professional license. But worse than that, since 1997, far too many Republican leaders have sided with my Democrat superiors and have used the aforesaid to hint/imply/argue/shout that I disserved the aforesaid because I am a very bad person and even worse things. I should write about those Republican leaders who have had their operatives and their dupes take the most/biggest adverse actions against me lately. – Dave Diersen

FED SMITH
— House Oversight Committee Advances Benefits Cuts Package
https://www.fedsmith.com/2025/04/30/house-oversight-committee-advances-benefits-cuts-package/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Among the cuts in the legislation are raising the FERS contribution rate to 4.4% for all federal employees, eliminating the FERS annuity supplement and switching from a high-3 average salary to high-5. There also is a provision that would give newly hired federal employees the option to elect to serve as at-will employees in exchange for higher take home pay with a lower FERS contribution rate. Accepting the at-will status option would keep the FERS contribution rate at 4.4%, but retaining civil service protections would add 5% to the retirement contribution (9.4% total). Another provision would require federal employees to pay a $350 fee to reduce frivolous employee appeals to the Merit Systems Protection Board (MSPB) regarding agency disciplinary adverse actions. The proposed cuts were being considered as the House Oversight Committee looked to slash $50 billion from the overall federal budget as it debated its portion of the larger overall FY 2025 spending bill. In remarks he made at Wednesday’s markup session, Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY) said: World-class employment benefits provided to federal employees are well-known, which can include eleven paid holidays; various incentives and awards; health, life, and long-term care insurance; flexible spending accounts; student loan repayment and forgiveness plans; generous leave and workplace flexibilities; and childcare, professional development, and commuter subsidies. The simple truth is that a significant amount of the costs associated with all of these benefits are funded by hardworking taxpayers in the private sector and increasingly now federal government borrowing. The legislation before us today advances important budgetary reforms that will save taxpayers money. Democrats as well as one Republican voted against the legislation in Wednesday’s markup session. Congressman Mike Turner (R-OH) opposed cutting pensions for federal employees as part of the deficit reduction, and he had said prior to the markup session that he would be voting against the bill. He wrote in a statement on X: The goal of reconciliation should be to reduce overall government spending by eliminating waste, fraud, and abuse and reducing needless and unnecessary spending. I oppose any and all efforts to reduce federal spending by taking money from the hard-earned pensions of federal workers. Employee benefits are not a gift. They are earned. I will not support and will not vote for the Oversight Committee’s current budget reconciliation proposal reducing earned pension benefits for current federal employees. In remarks he made at the markup session, Congressman Stephen Lynch (D-MA) said: This partisan bill threatens to further undermine the federal workforce, by reducing the take-home pay, benefits, and workforce protections of 2.4 million federal employees, most of whom are middle-class American workers and a third of whom are military veterans. This is more of the same; an unprecedented assault and political purge of the civil service. The legislative package now advances to the House Budget Committee. Turner also said he thinks that changes are likely to be made to the legislation as it progresses through the legislative process, namely that the cuts to federal employee pensions to which he was opposed would ultimately be eliminated. During Wednesday’s markup session, he reiterated his opposition to the legislation, saying, “I believe that making changes to pension retirement benefits in the middle of someone’s employment is wrong. Changing the rules, especially when someone’s already been vested, is wrong.” He also added, “I have talked to enough people on the House floor that I do think that this [pension cuts] will not be included in the final bill, and that this bill ultimately will have to be changed if it’s going to be included in the ultimate budget reconciliation.” Whether any of these proposed cuts become reality will be determined by what makes it into the final budget legislation if and when it becomes law. As Congressman Turner noted, changes are likely to be made as it goes through the legislative process. FedSmith will continue to provide any updates as they become available.)

Trump is conservative, Republican, White, male, older, non-veteran, Protestant, German American, and his ancestors have been in America for a long time.

Level 1 charging is fast enough for me. But because Dodge gave me a free $600 Level II charger, I had it installed along with a 220V 50 Amp outlet in my Iron Gate Car Condo for $1,125.

— What if anti-conservative leaders had not had their operatives and their dupes destroy TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois and the Illinois Center Right Coalition (ICRC)? Under my chairmanship, TAPROOT would still be holding monthly breakfast meetings, an August picnic, and a December Christmas party. Speakers at those events would still be advocating conservative principles. They would still be advocating 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. I should write about those anti-conservative leaders who had their operatives and their dupes destroy TAPROOT and ICRC.

According to them, I owe all my successes in life to my benefitting from discrimination against minorities and females. But neither of my parents attended college. My father was only the first of my ancestors to earn a high school diploma. My father never earned more than $50,000/year in today’s dollars. He died suddenly when he was 47 and I was 21. My mother never attended high school. I had to work my way through college. Further, virtually all federal employees are Democrats. While I worked for the Democrats who ran the federal government for almost 30 years, they gave tremendous preference to their Democrat employees who were minority and/or female. All my coworkers who they promoted over me were Democrats and many if not most of them were minority and/or female. They all had less work experience than I had, had less education than I had, had no professional certifications or fewer than I had, and/or had no professional license like the one I had. – Dave Diersen

My Democrat Post Office, Firestone Store, IRS, and GAO superiors always stressed to my superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates that I did not enlist and that I got student draft deferments 1966-1970 while I attended UIC and NIU and that I got a financial hardship draft deferment 1970-1971. They have always stressed that if I had not avoided the draft, I would not have been able to a) buy new cars in 1967, 1968, 1971, 1973, 1978, etc., b) buy real estate in 1972, 1974, 1976, and 1978, c) earn a bachelor’s degree in 1970 and master’s degrees in 1976 and 1980, d) pass the CPA examination in 1979 and the Certified Internal Auditor examination in 1981, e) become a licensed CPA in 1981, or f) get married in 1978. My Democrat superiors got my Democrat superiors and supervisors who were veterans to take many big adverse actions against me. I should write about that. – Dave Diersen

— Trump’s $5K push present won’t bring more babies — we have better ways to reverse sinking birth rates. According to my Democrat IRS and GAO superiors, if my wife and I had children, I would not have been able to a) pass the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, b) earn a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980, c) pass the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981, d) become a licensed CPA in 1981, e) etc. My Democrat IRS and GAO superiors all had children and/or spouses who had and little or no income.

(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.)

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

My Democrat IRS superiors never promoted me beyond GS-12, disallowed my education deductions in 1978, and disallowed my travel vouchers in 1974.

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.

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

— 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.

— 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

Why do fewer Democrat Blacks, Hispanics, and females pass the examination on their first attempt than Republican White males?

That is why Democrats make Republican White males pay the price of Affirmative Action and DEI. – Dave Diersen

My critics/opponents promote a) dependency on government and charity, 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. I should write about my critics/opponents. I would focus on those who continue to have lots of religious, government, political, and/or financial clout in Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois and who have had their operatives and their dupes take the most/biggest adverse actions against me lately. – Dave Diersen

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.”)

— Trump is conservative, Republican, White, male, older, non-veteran, Protestant, German American, and his ancestors have been in America for a long time. Democrat and RINO leaders ever-increasingly hate Trump. What are your demographics? What will your future be? In Illinois, the more demographics that you share with Trump, the bleaker that your future is. The more demographics that you share with Trump, the sooner that Democrat and RINO leaders will get rid of you. – Dave Diersen

— Chicago Flips Red founder Zoe Leigh said Pritzker is the one who is a threat. “He is a threat to the state of Illinois being the governor. Our mayor is a threat to the city of Chicago being the mayor, because they don’t care about the Chicago citizens’ safety. If they did, we wouldn’t be a sanctuary state any more,” Leigh said. . .Chicago Flips Red vice president Danielle Carter-Walters said crimes involving noncitizen migrants were not reported. “They were not recording anything that they did illegally. They just let it slide, let it go away. We know for a fact they are not reporting the illegal alien crime,” Carter-Walters told The Center Square.

WASHINGTON TIMES
— Supreme Court expected to consider giving Trump more firing power, overruling 90-year-old precedent. The justices and judges in Diersen v GAO ( https://gopillinois.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/DiersenGAOFifthAmendedComplaint.pdf ) ruled that federal agencies can force their employees to retire, that is, they can fire their employees, a) because they are active members in class action lawsuits that charge them with reverse discrimination, age discrimination, or retaliation, b) because they oppose political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, religious discrimination, or national origin discrimination, and/or c) because they are conservative, Republican, White, male, older, non-veteran, Protestant, German American, and/or have ancestors who have been in America for a long time.

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.

My critics/opponents promote a) dependency on government and charity, 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.
