Extremely few federal employees make the aforesaid promotion deadlines. My critics/opponents stress that I did not make GS-13 until I was 38 in 1986 and that I never made GS-14. In my defense, I stress that Democrats run the federal government and I never became a Democrat and a) that I did not earn job-related master’s degrees until I was 27, 31, and 48, b) that I did not earn job-related professional certifications until I was 30, 32, 41, 45, 47, and 48, and c) that I did not earn a job-related professional license until I was 32.

Extremely few RPCs become party leaders. My critics/opponents stress that while I have been a RPC since 1999, I have never been a party leader.

They ever-increasingly blame conservatives for their problems, for your problems, and for everyone’s problems. They ever-increasingly dismiss, belittle, badmouth, isolate, ostracize, marginalize, blacklist, cancel, demonize, denigrate, and condemn conservatives. They ever-increasingly take adverse actions against conservatives. I should write about my critics/opponents. I would focus on those who have lots of religious, government, political, and/or financial clout in Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois. I would focus on those who are/were a) leaders of the Milton Township Republican Organization, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Illinois Republican Party, b) Republican leaders of Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois, c) Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct, d) conservative leaders, and e) religious leaders. – Dave Diersen

https://www.nbcchicago.com/investigations/alleged-chicago-gang-member-charged-with-soliciting-murder-of-border-patrol-commander/3835142/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Village Mayor Gary Grasso learned law enforcement was in the area looking for someone — and he happened to witness the arrest. “I was very glad to see my government taking care of the people in Burr Ridge and keeping us safe, which is our number one job as an elected official,” Grasso said. “And when people put bounties on immigration officials or ATF officials, I mean, those people should be put in jail, and we should be cooperating with the people doing their job to put them in jail. And it’s a shame that people don’t recognize that these dedicated law enforcement people are doing their job, and now there’s bounties on them.”)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Protests are planned for nine intersections on Roosevelt Road in Wheaton, Glen Ellyn, Lombard and Villa Park. Additionally, a rally is scheduled in La Grange from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. on La Grange Road between Cossitt and Goodman avenues. In Elmhurst, protestors plan to gather from 2:30 to 4:30 p.m. but the location is undisclosed. In Bartlett, a rally is set for 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. near the Veterans Memorial at the southwest corner of Stearns and Bartlett roads. The protests are meant to show support for traditional democratic values, including fair elections, due process for all, economic equality and free speech, according to an Indivisible DuPage news release. “These values have faced ongoing challenges by the current Republican administration. Our protests are particularly meaningful at this time given the increased federal presence in Chicago and ICE raids currently taking place in the suburbs,” according to the release. Indivisible DuPage is planning the day of protests locally, along with organizations including the Glen Ellyn branch of the League of Women Voters, the College of DuPage Faculty Association and Indivisible Illinois. More than 2,000 No Kings 2.0 events are registered around the country by local pro-democracy groups, an increase from the first No Kings Day events. Other protests planned for the region include Joliet, Aurora, Bolingbrook, Geneva and Elgin.)

— Chicago Mayor Refuses to Answer If He Would Deport an Illegal Who Beat, Raped His Own Wife – Cracks Joke Instead
https://www.westernjournal.com/video-chicago-mayor-refuses-answer-deport-illegal-beat-raped-wife-cracks-joke-instead/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Reporter William Kelly teed up Johnson’s humiliating self-own by recounting a crime that occurred last month, in which an illegal alien from Nicaragua grabbed a woman on the street, bashed her head in, and raped her. “If that had been your wife, Stacie, would you want ICE to deport … that illegal alien? Yes or no?” Kelly asked. Instead of responding, Johnson made a snarky jab, claiming Kelly’s YouTube views had dropped recently. Kelly quipped that his social-media views were much higher than the mayor’s. The reporter then asked Johnson to answer his question. “Answer the question as a man — not as a mayor — but as a man,” Kelly reiterated. “Would you want ICE to deport that rapist?” Once again, Johnson refused to respond. “No? Okay, that’s the answer,” Kelly said. Kelly also ripped Johnson for his frivolous race-baiting, saying the minorities he has spoken to are furious that their mayor prioritizes foreign invaders over Chicago residents. “The real Chicagoans that I talk to, that I communicate with — mostly black and brown, actually — tell me that you don’t seem to know the difference between illegal aliens and real Chicago citizens,” Kelly told Johnson. “They feel that you are siding with the illegal aliens over them in their communities.” As a reminder, Johnson has repeatedly claimed Trump’s move to deploy the National Guard to eradicate crime in Chicago is racist. This flippant invocation of the overused “Race Card” is ironic, since Johnson is under federal investigation for admitting he usually hires black people because they’re the “most generous race” on Earth. As is usually the case when it comes to Democrats, every accusation is a confession. So when left-wing foghorns such as Brandon Johnson call someone “racist,” they’re merely projecting their own racism onto their opponents in order to silence them. Reporter William Kelly is correct: Johnson and his Democratic comrades constantly prioritize the welfare of third-world foreign invaders over the safety of law-abiding, taxpaying American citizens. This toxic, unpatriotic trend must be stopped before this nation devolves into a third-world dumping ground for unvetted armies of illegal aliens who show open contempt for the United States.)

The federal government pays 72% of my and my wife’s health insurance premiums because I am a retired federal employee. I qualified myself for my Post Office job in 1966 by taking and passing the postal employment examination and earning a high school diploma. I qualified myself for my IRS job in 1971 by taking and passing the Federal Service Entrance Examination and earning a job-related bachelor’s degree. I qualified myself for my GAO in 1980 job by earning a job-related master’s degree and passing the CPA examination on my first attempt.

— 6 Red Flags That Keep Good Candidates from Getting Hired. DD: From what I see, ever-increasingly, under the Democrats and under the RINOs, the more of the following that you are, the less likely that you will be hired: conservative, Republican, American, White, male, older, non-veteran, non-poor, Protestant, German American, and/or if you have ancestors who had been in America for a lone time. I should write about that.

Mine did not earn job-related master’s degrees, professional certifications, and a professional license like I did. Instead. they focused on helping their superiors get rid of their employees like me who were conservative, Republican, American, White, male, older, non-veteran, non-poor, Protestant, German American, and/or had ancestors who had been in America for a lone time. I should write about that. I would focus on those who took the most/biggest adverse actions against me.

DD: If you got a student loan, a) you did not work your way through college, b) your GPA should have been higher, c) you should have gotten a job that required a college degree faster, and d) your pay should have been higher. I did not get a student loan. My GPA was lower because I spent far too many hours washing dishes and delivering mail instead of studying. I did not get a job that required a college degree until 10 months after I graduated and my salary was only $55,850/year in today’s dollars.

AXIOS
— DD: Do you know any past or present federal employees or retirees? I was a federal employee for almost 30 years. I have been a federal retiree for 28 years. I should write about the attitude that people have toward federal employees and retirees. Overwhelmingly, they believe that federal employees are overpaid, their benefits are too generous, and that federal pensions are too generous. In my defense, while I was a federal employee, I earned a job-related bachelor’s degree, three job-related master’s degrees, six job-related professional certifications, and a job-related professional license. In today’s dollars, my federal salary increased from $19.37/hour to $153,151/year. My Civil Service Retirement System Pension is $66,780/year.

— ‘Woke’ Pope digs at Trump in call for open borders: ‘New missionary age.’ DD: Mass/illegal immigration will destroy America.
https://www.bizpacreview.com/2025/10/06/woke-pope-digs-at-trump-in-call-for-open-borders-new-missionary-age-1590407/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Pope Leo XIV did not mention President Trump by name, but it was clear to many who heard his address to Catholics on Sunday that he was taking a shot at U.S. immigration policies. Conservative Catholics, hopeful that the new pope, who was elected in May, would not be as far-left as his predecessor, the late Pope Francis, were sorely disappointed as Sunday’s Mass in St. Peter’s Square took on political overtones. Days after criticizing the Trump administration’s immigration policies, Leo urged the thousands gathered for the service – and Catholics around the globe – to open their “arms and hearts” to migrants, not distinguishing between legal and illegal immigration. The first pope to have been born in the United States, Leo said migrants must not be treated with “the coldness of indifference or the stigma of discrimination.” He urged Catholics to “open our arms and hearts to them, welcoming them as brothers and sisters, and being for them a presence of consolation and hope.” “On Sunday, the pope said the global Church was experiencing ‘a new missionary age’ in which it was tasked with offering ‘hospitality and welcome, compassion and solidarity’ to migrants fleeing violence or searching for a safe place to live,” Reuters reported. “In the communities of ancient Christian tradition, such as those of the West, the presence of many brothers and sisters from the world’s South should be welcomed as an opportunity, through an exchange that renews the face of the Church,” he said, speaking from a prepared text. The Pope’s official account on X has also made his thoughts quite clear on the issue. Last week, the Pope appeared to take a jab at Trump when speaking with reporters. “Someone who says I am against abortion but I am in agreement with the inhuman treatment of immigrants in the United States, I don’t know if that’s pro-life,” Leo said. “I would reject that there is inhumane treatment of illegal immigrants in the United States under this administration,” White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt fired back. “There was, however, significant, inhumane treatment of illegal immigrants in the previous administration as they were being trafficked and raped and beaten, in many cases killed over our United States southern border.” The Pope’s latest swipe against US immigration policy earned heated criticism on social media.

— 3 Best First Jobs To Get Promoted Fast. DD: My critics/opponents have always been furious that IRS promoted me when I was 23, 24, and 25. During that time, my salary increased from $55,850/year to $99,069/year in today’s dollars. My taking job-related graduate evening courses at Loyola during that time helped me get promoted. Extremely few of my coworkers took IRS-encouraged job-related graduate evening courses like I did. My critics/opponents have always hinted/implied/argued/shouted that my taking those courses gave me an unfair advantage. They stressed that I could afford those courses because I avoided the Vietnam War draft and because did not have a wife or children to support. In my defense, I helped support my mother and brother when I was 21, 22, and 23 and I worked part-time for the Chicago Heights Firestone store while I was 22, 23, and 24.

— Merit-based advancement is key to military excellence. DD: As I worked for the Democrats who ran the federal government for almost 30 years, they ever-increasingly dumped merit to hire, retain, and promote more Democrats who were minority, female, and/or younger. That ever-increasingly rendered worthless my job-related bachelor’s degree, my three job-related master’s degrees, my six job-related professional certifications, and my job-related professional license. It all culminated when I was 49 in 1997 when they forced me to retire and gave my job and my preferred corner office to my minority subordinate. He had less work experience than I had. He had less education than I had. He had one professional certification while I had six. He had no professional license like I did.

— What were your plans to earn a college degree? Because my parents lacked money, my plan to earn a college degree while I was a freshman and sophomore in high school was to enlist and to get one with the GI Bill. But when I started my junior year, I decided to earn a bachelor’s degree at UIC while living with my parents in Crete. I took a job washing dishes in Chicago Heights to earn money to buy a new car to commute in. I took college preparatory courses. I got an ACT score of 24. I graduated in the upper 20% of my class. UIC accepted me. I got a job working for the Park Forest Post Office. I took courses at UIC 1966-1968. I transferred to NIU in 1969. I graduated debt-free from NIU owning a 1969 Dodge Charger SE in 1970. – Dave Diersen
