— DHL to pay Chicago-area drivers $8.7M in EEOC racial discrimination settlement. (COMMENT: How has EEOC impacted you? In 1971, when I was 22 years old, Oldsmobile withdrew a job offer that I had accepted saying that it had just agreed to stop hiring Whites to settle an EEOC complaint. That had a tremendous impact on my life. My Firestone Store boss rudely and dramatically fired me because I had accepted that offer. I had to have a job because I was helping support my mother and brother. That resulted in me accepting a job offer from IRS. I had qualified myself a) by passing the Federal Service Entrance Examination and b) by earning a bachelor’s degree in management from NIU. The Democrats who ran IRS offered me a job because they could not find a qualified Democrat, minority, female, and/or veteran who would take the job. They gambled and lost that I would become a Democrat; I had been a union member 1966-1969.)

— Political parties need to vet candidates. At least since 2000, everything would have been different politically if the Illinois Republican Party, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and/or Milton Township Republican Organization had vetted candidates, and especially if they had put me on their candidate vetting committees. I would have called for full background investigations of candidates. I would have used the investigative skills that I acquired a) working for GAO as an Analyst for almost 18 years, the last 11 years of which at the GS-13 Step 1-10 Levels, currently $115,439-$150,075/year, b) working for IRS for as a Revenue Officer almost 9 years, the last 5 1/2 years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 Levels, currently $97,079-$110,020/year, and c) becoming a Certified Fraud Examiner, Forensic Accountant, Certified Internal Auditor, and Licensed CPA. I should write a book about candidates a) who never should have run because of the big skeletons that they had in their closets and b) candidates who lost general elections because the big skeletons that they had in their closets came out after they won primary elections. – Dave Diersen

— Ever-increasingly, governments exist in America to hire, to retain, and to promote Democrats and RINOs. Because I have always been a Republican, because I refused to become a Democrat, the Democrats who ran the federal government wasted my career and forced me to retire when I was 49 years old in 1997. Because I have always been a Republican, because I refuse to become a RINO, the RINOs who have run Illinois, DuPage County, Milton Township, and Wheaton not only have no use for me, they have done everything that they could to get rid of me. It is called patronage. It is called political affiliation discrimination. – Dave Diersen

SAVE ACT
— This bill requires individuals to provide documentary proof of U.S. citizenship in order to register to vote in federal elections. Specifically, the bill prohibits states from accepting and processing an application to register to vote in a federal election unless the applicant presents documentary proof of U.S. citizenship. Further, the bill (1) prohibits states from registering an individual to vote in a federal election unless, at the time the individual applies to register to vote, the individual provides documentary proof of U.S. citizenship; and (2) requires states to establish an alternative process under which an applicant may submit other evidence to demonstrate U.S. citizenship. Each state must take affirmative steps on an ongoing basis to ensure that only U.S. citizens are registered to vote, which shall include establishing a program to identify individuals who are not U.S. citizens using information supplied by specified sources. Additionally, the bill requires states to remove noncitizens from their official lists of eligible voters. The bill allows for a private right of action against an election official who registers an applicant to vote in a federal election who fails to present documentary proof of U.S. citizenship. The bill establishes criminal penalties for certain offenses, including registering an applicant to vote in a federal election who fails to present documentary proof of U.S. citizenship. The Election Assistance Commission must, within 10 days, adopt and transmit guidance for implementing the bill’s requirements to chief state election officials.

I should write a book about candidates a) who never should have run because of the big skeletons that they had in their closets and b) candidates who lost general elections because the big skeletons that they had in their closets came out after they won primary elections.)
https://www.brookings.edu/articles/parties-need-to-vet-candidates-before-the-primary-ballot-is-printed/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Who sends the politicians who govern us? Increasingly, the answer is: activist groups. Many are recruiting and supporting candidates who, in the past, would have been seen as too extreme or inexperienced to be viable. Among professionals, candidate quality is a growing concern. “It’s become like a clown car,” says a political consultant. “Everyone thinks they’re qualified and everyone jumps in.” In a new Brookings report, political scientist Raymond J. La Raja (of the University of Massachusetts Amherst) and I take an in-depth look at how activist groups are re-engineering who enters politics. Activist groups both on the right and left are building independent candidate pipelines, outside the influence of traditional gatekeepers like party officials and their surrogates.)

(FROM THE EDITORIAL: America’s most famously boring profession is in trouble, and that’s bad news for Chicago. The city is a hotbed of professional services, including lawyers, consultants and the now-endangered species of certified public accountants. CPAs are essential for financial reporting, advanced tax preparation and other dull-but-important tasks that keep the economy going. These days, the accounting profession is in crisis as CPAs retire and the pipeline to replace them dries up. Addressing the shortage means changing the time-consuming path to becoming a CPA, without lowering the standards that make the work of these unsung financial heroes so critical. The health of the capital markets depends on breathing new life into the profession. CPAs are experts in generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, the complicated rules and procedures that govern the financial world. Among a CPA’s most important functions is auditing public companies to ensure their financial statements conform with GAAP. If CPAs sign off, they certify to the public that the numbers can be trusted, so in that respect these behind-the-scenes gnomes are guardians of the public trust.)

— Political parties exist to help elect candidates who can and will defend and advance their platform. The Republican Party platform is conservative. Ever-increasingly, in Illinois, instead of defending and advancing the Republican Party platform, Republican candidates, elected officials, and party leaders paint themselves as being moderate/centrist, if not Democrat Lite, if not RINO, if not anti-conservative, if not anti-Republican.

NATIONAL REVIEW
— GOP primary voters knew that Mark Robinson was a terrible candidate. They just didn’t care. (COMMENT: In 2004, in Illinois, Jack Ryan ran in the Republican U.S. Senate primary. (SEE: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2004_United_States_Senate_election_in_Illinois ) His primary campaign team, which did not include me, knew that he had an extremely big scandal that would come out if he won the primary and would force him to withdraw. Nevertheless, they went forward anyway and defeated his primary opponents including Jim Oberweis, Steve Rauschenberger, and Andrew McKenna. Ryan withdrew after that extremely big scandal came out and the Illinois Republican Party State Central Committee replaced Ryan with Alan Keyes. If Ryan’s extremely big scandal had come out before the primary election, Oberweis, Rauschenberger, or McKenna would have won and everything would have been different. Oberweis, Rauschenberger, or McKenna might have defeated Obama in the general election. By way of contrast, Blair Hull might very well have won the Democrat primary if Obama’s campaign had not disclosed a far less serious marital issue that Hull had. I was involved in the aforesaid because of my roles as the GOPUSA Illinois Editor, an Illinois Center Right Coalition Steering Committee member, the TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois Vice Chairman, the Milton Township Republican Organization (MTRO) webmaster and a fundraising committee member, and an American Association of Political Consultants Midwest Chapter board member. In 2003, Ryan, Oberweis, McKenna, and other candidates a) attended a picnic that I organized in my precinct and b) Ryan Oberweis, Rauschenberger, McKenna, and other candidates participated in a major MTRO straw poll fundraiser that helped organize. Most of my critics/opponents wanted McKenna to win the primary.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: We know how this is going to go. The deadline for North Carolina’s Republican nominee for governor, Mark Robinson, to drop out of the race passed last night. Robinson ignored the calls from his fellow Republicans to drop out. In November, he’ll lose. And when he loses, the loudest voices in the Republican ecosystem will insist he owes his fate not to his own characterological defects but to the fact that the GOP doesn’t have the stomach to do what’s necessary to win. Not like the Democrats do.)

— Democrat and RINO leaders ever-increasingly push more pot. They ever-increasingly reduce enforcement of pot laws. Anticipate/expect that sooner or later, those around you will be stoners. I led the successful fight to stop the sale of pot in Wheaton in 2019. Anticipate/expect that soon, if not already, Democrat and RINO candidates, elected officials, and party leaders will crow that they are stoners. I have always opposed pot. I have never used pot and I never will. If I had used pot, the Post Office would not have hired me in 1966, Firestone Stores in 1970, IRS in 1971, or GAO in 1980. If IRS had hired me, it would not have promoted me in 1972, 1973, and 1974. If GAO had hired me, it would not have promoted me in 1986. If I had used pot, I would not have been able to a) get an ACT score of 24, graduate in the upper 20% of my high school class, or get accepted by UIC in 1966, b) get accepted by NIU in 1969, c) earn a bachelor’s degree in management from NIU in 1970, d) earn an MBA from Loyola in 1976, e) pass the CPA Examination on my first attempt in 1979, f) earn a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980, g) pass the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981, h) become a licensed CPA in 1981, etc. If I had used pot, I would not been able a) to buy used cars in 1964 and 1971 and new cars in 1966, 1967, 1968, 1971, 1973, 1978, etc., b) buy real estate in 1972, 1974, 1976, 1978, and have a home built in 1984, and c) get married in 1978.

PJ MEDIA
— What the Media Won’t Tell You About the ‘Right to IVF Act’ (COMMENT: If I had run against Duckworth like Roskam did in 2006, she, like my Democrat GAO superiors, would have viciously demonized me, viciously denigrated me, and viciously condemned me because my wife and I gave up trying to have children without trying IVF. My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes side with my Democrat GAO superiors and with Duckworth. According to them, if my wife and I had children, I would not have been able to pass the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980, earn a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980, pass the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt or become a licensed CPA in 1981, earn job-related professional certifications in 1990, 1994, 1996, or 1997, or earned a master’s degree in finance from IIT in 1997. Further, according to them, my wife would not have been able to earn a bachelor’s degree in finance from DePaul in 1986 and she would have had far less income. Further, according to them, my wife and I would not have been able to have a home built in Wheaton in 1984.)
https://pjmedia.com/matt-margolis/2024/09/18/what-the-media-wont-tell-you-about-the-right-to-ivf-act-n4932632
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Since the overturning of Roe v. Wade, Democrats have been actively seeking to elevate abortion as a central voting issue to drive their base to the polls. One strategy has been to merge abortion with the debate over in vitro fertilization (IVF), effectively adopting it as part of their broader 2024 election strategy by pushing claims that Republicans are attempting to ban IVF. To this effort, Senate Democrats, spearheaded by Sen. Tammy Duckworth (D-Ill.), pushed for a second vote on the so-called “Right to IVF Act” this week. “If Donald Trump and Republicans want to protect people’s right to access IVF, they can vote yes on it,” Duckworth told CBS News before the vote. “He’s shown that it only takes one sentence from him, and the Republican Party will fall in line behind him.” The bill failed to advance, and the media promptly pushed the expected narrative. “Senate Republicans blocked legislation that would protect access to IVF on Tuesday, in a vote that Democrats held to draw attention to the issue after former President Donald Trump’s recent statements supporting the fertility treatments,” CBS reported. “For the second time in four months, Senate Democrats forced a vote on the Right To IVF Act, only to be blocked by Republicans who called it unnecessary and politically motivated as Vice President Kamala Harris seeks to make access to in vitro fertilization a 2024 campaign issue,” read the lead at NBC News. The headline over at CNN read, “Senate GOP blocks IVF bill again as Democrats spotlight issue ahead of elections.” Naturally, these stories and headlines aren’t telling the whole story. This is a common election-year tactic that can be surprisingly effective if the media is on your side. Of course, the devil is always in the details, because the “Right to IVF Act,” is far more than what its name implies — as is the case with most legislation. “The ‘Right To IVF Act,’ introduced by Sen. Tammy Duckworth, D-Ill., lumps several radical Democrat-led assisted reproductive technology (ART) bills into one to ensure the unlimited creation, indefinite freezing, and destruction of millions of embryos,” explains Jordan Boyd of The Federalist. Boyd goes into further detail. “Included in the self-proclaimed ‘sweeping’ bill are vague language and undefined terms that would force Americans with moral objections to ART to fund the manufacturing of motherless and fatherless children, commercial surrogacy, experimental transhumanist technologies like artificial wombs, ‘gene editing,’ and reproduction without women via in vitro gametogenesis,” he explains. “Additionally, the package would make a permanent path for taxpayer-funded ART like egg and sperm freezing, IVF, and surrogacy for millions of U.S. servicemembers and veterans. It also incentivizes the promotion of babies by any means necessary above adoption and restorative reproductive treatments that address the root causes of infertility.” If Democrats were really interested in protecting the right to IVF treatments, they would, for one, push forward a clean bill that could get bipartisan support, and I suspect it would. But they won’t risk putting forward a bill that might succeed and take the issue off the table for them before the election.)
POST MILLENNIAL
— US Air Force has DEI ‘goal’ to reduce ‘white male population’ in officer ranks (COMMENT: I worked for the Democrats who ran GAO 1980-1997. They gave all their Senior Executive Service (SES) members who they assigned to manage their Chicago office lists of employees to get rid of. Of course, I was near or at the top of all those lists. The more of the following that you were, the higher that you were on those lists: conservative, Republican, White, male, older, non-veteran, Protestant, German American, if your ancestors had been in America for a long time, and/or if you had not made GS-13 (currently $115,439/year) by age 25, GS-14 ($136,414) by age 30, GS-15 ($160,457) by age 35, and SES ($191,900) by age 40. The aforesaid is “up-or-out.” Extremely few GAO employees make the aforesaid promotion deadlines. They would have succeeded in getting rid of me much sooner than they did if I had not a) earned job-related master’s degrees in 1976 (business), 1980 (accounting), and 1997 (finance), b) earned job-related professional certifications in 1979 (accounting), in 1981 (internal auditing), in 1990 (fraud examination), in 1994 (government financial management), in 1996 (financial services auditing), and in 1997 (forensic accounting), and c) earned a job-related professional license in 1981 (CPA).) The aforesaid is 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.)

— Connie Chung says booze and bawdy jokes helped her break into journalism’s boys club (COMMENT: I transferred from IRS to GAO in 1980 when I was 31 years old. I soon learned that all but one of my Chicago Office superiors were Democrats who were older, White, male, big drinkers, big smokers, and/or big spectator sports watchers and betters. Because I have always been conservative, I rejected their strong advice to join them in those activities, that is, I rejected their strong advice to join their “boys club.” Because of that, they did everything that they could to waste my career and to get rid of me. They rejected my emphasis on job-related education and professionalism. They ignored/dismissed/belittled my IRS work experience, my earning job-related master’s degrees in 1976, 1980, and 1997, my earning job-related professional certifications in 1979, 1981, 1990, 1994, 1996, and 1997, and my earning a job-related professional license in 1981. They overtly rejected my efforts to recruit them to join the Association of Government Accountants Chicago Chapter. If their leader had not gone on extended sick leave in 1985 because of his very heavy drinking, the GAO manager who had arranged for my transfer from IRS, would never had been able to assign me to audits of IRS in 1986 or to promote to GS-13 in 1986. But their leader came back in 1987 and forced that GAO manager to retire in 1987. He then threw me off audits of IRS, gave me an extremely bad job assignment, unfair job performance expectations, and unfair job performance appraisal. He ranked me the lowest of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes. He ever-increasingly turned against me my Democrat superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates who were minority, female, younger, veteran, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or who had ancestors who had not been in America for a long time. His ever-increasing adverse actions against me forced me to seek help from my Congressman Henry Hyde in 1989. If GAO had been unionized, I would have sought help from its union. But GAO did not unionize until 2007.)

CATHOLIC NEWS AGENCY
— Illinois Right to Life urges Illinois residents to vote no on IVF question (COMMENT: If I had run against Duckworth like Roskam did in 2006, she, like my Democrat GAO superiors, would have viciously demonized me, viciously denigrated me, and viciously condemned me for my wife and I giving up trying to have children without trying IVF. My critics/ opponents, their operatives, and their dupes side with my Democrat GAO superiors and with Duckworth. According to them, if my wife and I had children, I would not have been able to pass the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980, earn a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980, pass the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt or become a licensed CPA in 1981, earn job-related professional certifications in 1990, 1994, 1996, or 1997, or earned a master’s degree in finance from IIT in 1997. Further, according to them, my wife would not have been able to earn a bachelor’s degree in finance from DePaul in 1986 and she would have had far less income. Further, according to them, my wife and I would not have been able to have a home built in Wheaton in 1984.)
https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/259365/pro-life-group-urges-illinois-residents-to-vote-no-on-ivf-question
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Illinois Right to Life, a pro-life group active in the state, has expressed opposition to the question, noting that “in vitro fertilization is detrimental to the inherent value of life.” “All children are equal in the eyes of God and one of the most beautiful vocations in life is becoming a parent. Life in all its stages is precious, including embryos. This absolutely includes children born from in vitro fertilization (IVF),” the group said in a Sept. 14 emailed statement. “However, it is important to recognize the IVF process can be harmful to new human lives, often commodifies children, and the procedure does not honor the sanctity of life.” The Catholic Church teaches that while couples struggling to have children can use certain fertility treatments, the use of IVF is “morally unacceptable.” This is because IVF involves the use of artificial means to achieve pregnancy outside of sex between a husband and wife — the marital act — a disassociation that the Church teaches is contrary to the dignity of both parents and children. In addition, to maximize efficiency, doctors create excess human embryos during the IVF process and routinely destroy or indefinitely freeze millions of undesired embryos. “We sincerely ask and urge you to vote NO in the advisory referendum regarding in vitro fertilization on the Illinois general election ballot,” Illinois Right to Life said.)

Further, I stress that I worked in the south side of Chicago in 1973 and the southern suburbs 1962-1974. Further, I stress that I bought a new townhome in University Park in 1972, lived in it full-time until 1974, part-time 1974-1976, and rented it out 1976-1984. I should write about my critics/opponents who have had few interactions with Blacks, that is, a) have not worked for Blacks, worked with Blacks, or supervised Blacks like I have and/or b) have not lived near Blacks. Better yet, I should sue them.)

— No, Ohio Haitians are not legal (COMMENT: According to Democrats and to RINOs, illegals do not exist, that is, everyone who comes to America for any claimed reason is in America legally. Democrats and RINOs have destroyed America’s borders and they will soon destroy America.)
https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2024/09/no_ohio_haitians_are_not_legal.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The Ohio Haitians are here under two programs, neither of which they qualify for, but of course, that has not stopped Biden, Harris, and Mayorkas. The first program being legally misused is called Temporary Protected Status (TPS). Sec. Mayorkas announced this summer a whopping 300,000 illegal Haitian illegal immigrants, no matter how they got here, can apply for TPS status because there were rains and mudslides or something back in Haiti. Hmm, tropical island and rain/mudslides — kind of goes with the territory. TPS was intended only for people here legally, whose return was delayed, if their homeland had suffered some unique disaster. Today, Democrats routinely use this law to import all manner of Third-World freeloaders. Back in 2017, Pres. Trump tried to stop this, pointing out about 400,000 illegals had been enjoying “temporary” status for an average of 20 years. The ACLU tied them up in court, then Biden reversed the order and gave up on the lawsuits. The other program Biden and Harris misuse is even worse — urgent humanitarian parole. Under this provision, people who are otherwise inadmissible may come to the United States for critical medical care, to attend a sick relative, to donate an organ, or unfortunately, for a few more vague but important reasons. Again, Mayorkas tortured the language of this statute to fly in at least 400,000 illegals the last two years, maybe more. Texas and several states are suing to stop this but the case is only in its early stages on appeal. The only way America’s illegal immigration disaster gets fixed, is if Pres. Trump wins in November. He can simply close the border and end Team Biden’s hocus-pocus to turn millions of illegals residing here into a forever limbo-status.)

— The federal workforce does not look like America at all. Virtually all federal employees are Democrats who are liberal, minority, female, younger, veteran, non-Protestant, non-German American, have ancestors who have not been in America for a long time, and/or have health, financial, and/or other problems. While I worked for the Democrats who ran the federal government 1966-1969 and 1971-1997, all of my superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates were most if not virtually all of the aforesaid. They looked down on, despised, if not hated those who share my demographics. They wasted my career and forced me to retire when I was 49 years old in 1997. I should write a book about the aforesaid.

(FROM THE ARTICLE: With Vice President Kamala Harris, an American of Black and Indian descent, securing the 2024 Democratic nomination for president and locked in a tight battle with Republican nominee Donald Trump, Biden sought to remind attendees of the “commitment” the pair have made to make their administration “look like America… and it does.”
ABC NEWS
— Democrats ever-increasingly promote languages other than English. All my ancestors immigrated from what is now Germany during the 1840s and 1850s. They were slow to learn and speak English. All my grandparents spoke German. Consequently, my father was only the first of my ancestors to earn a high school diploma and my mother never attended high school. Consequently, I was not viewed as being college material.

SOUTHERN
— Biden says Secret Service ‘needs more help’ after apparent Trump assassination attempt (COMMENT: GAO need help. I worked for the Democrats who ran GAO 1980-1997, the last 11 years of which at the GS-13 Step 1-10 Levels, currently $115,439-$150,075/year. GAO’s mission is to fight fraud, waste, abuse, and mismanagement in the federal government. While I worked for GAO, Republican U.S. Senators and Representatives used major budget cuts to dramatically reduced GAO’s ability to fight fraud, waste, abuse, and mismanagement. To punish me for that, my Democrat GAO superiors took many adverse actions against me. They forced me to take a $22,996 (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980. They gave me bad job assignments. They gave me unfair performance expectations and appraisals. They assigned me to supervise their most problematic employees. They delayed my promotions and never promoted me beyond GS-13. They kept me off audits of IRS for all but 3 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 take their early retirement “offer” when I was 49 years old in 1997. They ignored/dismissed/belittled my having earning three job related master’s degrees (1976,1980, and 1997), six professional certifications (1979, 1981, 1990, 1994, 1996, and 1997), and a professional license (1981). I should write a book about the aforesaid.)

AMERICAN THINKER
— The Democrat party’s unique historical opportunity
https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2024/09/the_democrat_party_s_unique_historical_opportunity.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: This presidential election offers a remarkable and unique historical opportunity for the Democrat party. In fact, this may be that party’s most opportune time ever to make history. The Democrat presidential candidate identifies as black, having previously identified as Southeast Asian. Becoming the first self-identified black and female president in America would be history-making. However, there is something much more history-making begging to be acknowledged recognized. In fact, it is something beyond belief—utterly inconceivable—something very few are qualified for. Kamala Harris is a rare candidate due to her genealogical background. She is the first black female candidate and second black presidential candidate descendant of a slave master (Obama was the first black descendant of a slave master.)

I was one of an extremely few Republican employees in GAO’s Chicago office. With one exception in 1989, my Republican U.S. Senators and Republican U.S. Representatives did not come to my defense. Constructively they sided with GAO in Diersen v. GAO (SEE: https://gopillinois.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/DiersenGAOFifthAmendedComplaint.pdf ) My critics/opponents stressed to them that I did not give them any money and that I opposed patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination when they were “reaching out” to young minorities and women.

BUSINESS INSIDER
— What decisions did you make that limited your career? I avoided the draft. I did not become a Democrat. I became a federal employee when I was 18 years old. I worked all the part-time hours that could instead of studying. I majored in management instead of accounting. I did not earn an MBA until I was 27. I complained about political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, religious discrimination, and national origin discrimination. I did not take and pass the CPA examination until I was 30. I did not earn a master’s degree in accounting until I was 31. I did not take and pass the Certified Internal Auditor examination and become a licensed CPA until I was 32. I became a active member in a class action lawsuit that charged my superiors with reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation when I was 40. Nevertheless, I got promoted to GS-12, currently $97,079/year, when I was 25, to GS-13, currently $115,439/year, when I was 38, and GS-13 Step 10, currently $150,075/year, when I was 49.

— Democrats say “What a Second Trump Term Would Mean for Chicago. As bad as things were the first time, brace yourself for even worse.” To get even more votes from Blacks, Democrat candidates will promise Blacks that they will use government give Blacks even more preference. In Chicago, Democrat candidates can stress how my Democrat GAO superiors wasted my career and forced me retire and gave my job and my preferred corner office to my Black subordinate in 1997. They can stress how EEOC got Oldsmobile to stop hiring Whites to settle a complaint and how that caused Oldsmobile to withdraw a job offer that I had accepted in 1971.

— Political parties exist to help elect candidates who can and will defend and advance their platform. The Republican Party platform is conservative. Far too many get involved in Republican politics for the wrong reasons. Far too many a) give money to Republican candidates, elected officials, and party leaders, b) become Republican Precinct Committeemen/Captains, c) become leaders of Republican organizations, and/or d) run for government offices as Republicans for the following wrong reasons. They are anti-conservative and want the Republican Party to strike planks from its platform that they reject, most commonly, its personal responsibility, traditional marriage and family, right to life, immigration, illegal drugs, Second Amendment, and/or equal opportunity (no race of gender based preference giving) planks. They want to get more preference for those who share their demographics. They are Democrat plants, Libertarian plants, Green plants, Independent plants, or RINOs and want to destroy the Republican Party. I should write about the aforesaid. I would focus on the aforesaid who have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me. – Dave Diersen

DUPAGE POLICY JOURNAL
— DuPage County home valuation prices rose in July compared to the same period in 2023. (COMMENT: I have been watching home sales in DuPage County since 1978. Ever-increasingly, when homes owned by Republicans are sold in DuPage County, Milton Township, Wheaton, and my precinct, they are bought by Democrats to take advantage of the prosperity and safety that Republicans have created in the aforesaid and to escape the poverty and crime that Democrats have created in Cook County and especially in Chicago. That drives up selling prices. But ever-increasingly, tragically, if not hypocritically, these Democrat home buyers continue to vote for Democrats. The Democrat Party platform promotes poverty and crime.)

— The Assimilation Crisis (COMMENT: How fast did your ancestors assimilate? All my ancestors immigrated from what is now Germany way back in the 1840s and 1850s. Their slow assimilation harmed me. All my grandparents spoke German. My father was only the first of my ancestors to earn a high school diploma. My mother never attended high school. Consequently, because they lacked money, I had to work my way through college. Consequently, my GPA and ACT score suffered. Consequently, I did not get a job that required a college degree (IRS Revenue Officer) until 10 months after I earned a bachelor’s degree in management from NIU in 1970. I would not have gotten that job if I had not passed the Federal Service Entrance Examination (FSEE) in 1970. I would not have taken the FSEE if I had not worked for the Post Office part-time 1966-1969. I had planned on a career in the automotive industry, but I took the FSEE as a backup. My plan for a career in the automotive industry ended abruptly in 1971 when Oldsmobile withdrew a job offer that I had accepted saying that it had just agreed to stop hiring Whites to settle an EEOC complaint. My Firestone Store boos rudely fired me because I had accepted that offer. Because I had to have a job, I accepted IRS’s job offer.)

— In a series of clips published to the Trump War Room X account, Trump detailed his plan to Make Housing Affordable Again, an issue that many people especially younger Americans have struggled with in recent years. “Finally, I will save America’s suburbs by protecting single-family zoning. The Radical Left wants to abolish the suburbs by forcing apartment complexes and low-income housing into the suburbs right next to your beautiful house,” he said. Trump also pledged to end mortgages for illegal aliens as well as overtime pay taxes, allowing Americans to keep more of their hard-earned money.

https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/4877506-laura-loomer-trump-criticism/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Far-right activist Laura Loomer’s visible presence alongside former President Trump in recent days is sparking questions about her influence and a substantial amount of criticism from figures aligned with the GOP presidential nominee. Loomer is an outspoken Trump supporter who is known for spreading conspiracy theories and using racist rhetoric. She flew on Trump’s plane to Tuesday’s debate in Philadelphia and was part of his entourage as he attended memorial events Wednesday to mark the anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks. She does not have any official role with Trump’s campaign, multiple sources said. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.), a staunch Trump ally, engaged in a heated and personal social media battle with Loomer over social platform X that began Wednesday night and carried into Thursday. Greene separately told reporters it would be a mistake to rely on Loomer for advice and that her rhetoric did not fit in with Trump’s “Make America Great Again” movement. “This is such an important election. I don’t think that she has the experience or the right mentality to advise,” Greene told reporters Wednesday, adding she was not privy to Trump’s conversations with Loomer. “I do know this, that her rhetoric and her tone does not match the base, it does not match MAGA, it does not match most Republicans I know,” Greene continued. “And I’m really denouncing it. I’m over it.” Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), a strong ally of Trump in the Senate, on Thursday called out Loomer for racist comments about Vice President Harris, in which she used crude stereotypes to attack Harris’s Indian heritage. The remarks were also criticized by Greene. Graham said the remarks were “abhorrent” and noted Loomer also has made “disturbing” comments about Republicans. “I think that the president would serve himself well to make sure this doesn’t become a bigger story,” Graham told HuffPost. Loomer was spotted deplaning with Trump aides and family members Tuesday in Philadelphia ahead of the debate between the GOP nominee and Harris, and she was in the spin room that night. Some conservatives took note that Loomer was on the former president’s plane before the debate, during which Trump repeated a debunked claim shared by Loomer and others about migrants eating pets in an Ohio town. Loomer was again spotted with Trump’s crew when he visited a fire station in New York City to mark the anniversary of 9/11, and she posted video from his visit to Shanksville, Pa., where Flight 93 crashed. When asked about Loomer’s presence at Wednesday’s events, a Trump campaign official said the day “wasn’t about anyone other than the souls who are no longer with us, their families, and the heroes who courageously stepped up to save their fellow Americans on that fateful day.” Trump attended a New York City memorial alongside President Biden and Harris that morning. Loomer was defiant Thursday as she found herself at the center of multiple articles and cable news segments. She said she does not work for Trump and claimed she was being targeted because of her work targeting politicians and media members. “I stand by everything I have said. I will not be deleting any tweets. I will not apologize for fighting for Donald Trump. I will not apologize for fighting for the truth and the American people,” Loomer posted on X. “The American people deserve people who fight instead of cowering in fear of the media,” she continued. “I don’t care about what they or any sellout member of Congress has to say about me.” This week was not the first time Trump has signaled he’s open to Loomer’s presence in his orbit. He congratulated her after she won a Florida House primary in 2020. Last year, Trump reportedly told advisers to give Loomer a campaign role for his White House bid. She ultimately did not join the campaign in any official capacity. Loomer has previously described Islam as a “cancer.” She was banned from ride-hailing apps Uber and Lyft in 2017 after posting online that she “never want[s] to support another Islamic immigrant driver.” She was banned from then-Twitter after a series of anti-Muslim posts and was reinstated after Elon Musk purchased the platform. Democrats, including the White House, blasted Loomer’s recent comments and argued Trump’s association with her should be a red flag for the American people. House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) on Thursday ripped Trump as a “conspiracy theory-peddling, racial arsonist and pathological liar.” He said Trump’s willingness to bring a conspiracy theorist like Loomer to a 9/11 event “should shock the conscience of all decent Americans.” White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre called Loomer’s most recent comments about Harris “repugnant” and “un-American.” “No leader should ever associate with someone who spreads this kind of ugliness. This kind of racist poison … and who continues to fan these kinds of dangerous and insulting conspiracy theories,” she said.)

— When government has to subsidize people’s property taxes, something is badly wrong (COMMENT: I have been paying real estate taxes since 1972 and my wife and I since 1978. 60%+ of real estate taxes go to schools. My wife and I have never sent any child to any school. According to my critics/opponents, because my wife and I do not have children, we should pay even more real estate tax.)

— Columbia College Chicago to cut 18 ‘underperforming’ majors from curriculum amid budget issues. The school announced Thursday it will phase out and consolidate several “underperforming” majors such as Bachelor of Arts in art history, American Sign Language-English interpretation, creative writing and Master of Fine Arts in photography and fine arts. (COMMENT: If I could do it over again, I would have majored in accounting instead of management at UIC 1966-1968, NIU 1969-1970, and Loyola 1972-1976. After competing 10 graduate evening accounting courses at DePaul and the Becker CPA Review, I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt when I was 30 years old in 1979. But by then, I was viewed as being much too old to have a successful career in accounting.)

— Northwestern University student: Republicans say they’re standing up for Jewish college students against campus antisemitism. They’re not. (COMMENT: I should write a book about my Democrat superiors in the federal government who did everything that they could to get my many Jewish superiors and supervisors to waste my career and to get rid of me. They stressed that I was conservative, Republican, Protestant, 100% German American, a Crete resident 1948-1972, and a Wheaton resident since 1978. In my defense, I stressed that all my ancestors had immigrated during the 1840s and 1850s, that my grandfather on my father’s side fought the Germans in WWI, that my uncles on my mother’s side fought the Germans in WWII, and that my father would have fought the Germans in WWII if he had not been 4-F.)
