— My critics/opponents promote Affirmative Action (AA) and DEI, that is, they promote patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, religious discrimination, and national origin discrimination, that is, they reject meritocracy. I am the opposite of an AA/DEI hire. The Democrats who ran GAO in 1980, IRS in 1971, and the Post Office in 1966 hired me because they could not find a qualified Democrat, minority, female, younger person, or veteran who would take the job. I earned a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980. I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979. I earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976. I earned a bachelor’s degree in management from NIU and passed the Federal Service Entrance Examination in 1970. I earned a diploma from Crete-Monee High School and passed the postal employment examination in 1966. Further, I earned a master’s degree in financial markets and trading from IIT and became a Forensic Accountant in 1997. I became a Certified Financial Services Auditor in 1996. I became a Certified Government Financial Manager in 1994. I became a Certified Fraud Examiner in 1990. I passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt and became a licensed CPA in 1981. If I had been a Democrat, minority, female, and/or veteran, my Democrat superiors would have promoted me into their Senior Executive Service long before I was 40. Instead, all my coworkers who they promoted over me were Democrats who were minority, female, younger than me, and/or veteran and 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

— Sonya Massey tragedy shows it’s better for municipalities to be minus police officers than to hire the wrong ones. – Editorial (COMMENT: Why were you offered jobs? The Democrats who ran GAO in 1980, IRS in 1971, and the Post Office in 1966 hired me because they could not find a qualified Democrat, minority, female, younger person, or veteran who would take the job. They gambled that I would become a Democrat, but they lost their gamble. Consequently, they did everything that they could to waste my career and get rid of me. It is called political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination.)
https://www.chicagotribune.com/2024/08/09/editorial-sonya-massey-sean-grayson-jack-campbell-jb-pritzker/
(FROM THE EDITORIAL: The Sangamon County sheriff’s office is far from the only department struggling to recruit officers and thus prone to making poor hires. With policing under more public pressure and scrutiny than any time we can remember, particularly in diverse, Democratic Party-controlled states like ours, the profession clearly isn’t nearly as enticing as it used to be, even with early retirement, good salaries and generous pensions on offer. The Chicago Police Department, for one, is short about 2,000 officers. The temptation for these departments, then, is to skimp on the background checks and vetting that are necessary to weed out the unsuitable but can hamper recruiting. There were plenty of red flags available on Grayson, including a 2015 citation for driving under the influence and a record of working for five different police forces in the three years before Sangamon hired him in May 2023. At a bare minimum, an applicant bouncing around that many departments in such a short period of time ought to compel a police chief interested in hiring him to call the chiefs of those other departments for an honest assessment rather than relying on applicant-provided references. The public has an interest in fully staffed police departments. But there’s an even greater public interest in taking every step possible to ensure those on the force are truly qualified and well trained. Better to be undermanned than to run the risk of employing officers prone to losing their cool in tense moments, flaws that carry with them potentially fatal consequences. Sonya Massey’s tragic death is a cautionary tale for police chiefs everywhere. That brings us to the matter of the police chief in this case, Sangamon County Sheriff Jack Campbell. Campbell has defended the process he undertook when hiring Grayson, saying he followed normal procedures, but has allowed there are changes he’ll make going forward. “My standard is now that ‘I want you to figure out a way not to hire this person,’” Campbell told Illinois Public Media News. By that, we took him to mean that every applicant will be scrutinized as thoroughly as possible. If that’s what he meant, we agree. . .It’s relatively easy, of course, for the Democratic governor to castigate a Republican sheriff in a case that has garnered national headlines and reflects poorly on the state. It wasn’t hard to detect the whiff of politics in the harsh criticism of a GOP officeholder by a governor with national aspirations (and demonstrated prospects) who needs to appear as tough as possible responding to a horrific police shooting within the state’s capital city. We’d be a bit less cynical had Pritzker, for example, been as critical when his appointees to the Illinois Prisoner Review Board failed so starkly earlier this year to keep convicted domestic abuser Crosetti Brand behind bars, freeing him (despite numerous red flags) to allegedly kill the 11-year-old son of an ex-girlfriend as she was attacked as well and badly injured. Pritzker asked two of those appointees, including the board chair, to resign. But when it came to his own appointees, who failed every bit as badly as Campbell did with similarly fatal consequences, the governor publicly expressed nothing like the outrage he leveled at the sheriff. Sangamon County is dominated by Republicans at the local level. To date, as far as we’ve seen, no local GOPers have called on Campbell to leave. If Campbell resigned over this tragic lapse, that would be an appropriate acceptance of responsibility. But he’s an elected official answerable to the voters of the county, not Gov. Pritzker. If he chooses to stick to the path of attempting to improve the office’s personnel management and regaining the public trust as he runs again, the voters of that county will be able to decide two years from now on his ongoing suitability.)

— Under the Democrats and under the RINOs, the future is ever-increasingly bleak for those of any age who are conservative, Republican, White, male, heterosexual, non-veteran, Protestant, German American, and/or have ancestors who have been in America for a long time. I am all of the aforesaid. I was born in 1948. Even though I only just barely made it into the upper 20% of my high school class, my ACT score was only 24, and I had to work my way through college, that is, I did not get any scholarships, I was nevertheless able to a) earn a bachelor’s degree when I was 21, b) earn master’s degrees when I was 27, 31, and 48, c) earn professional certifications when I was 30, 32, 41, 45, 47, and 48, and d) earn a professional license when I was 32. But I would not be able to do the aforesaid today because of my bad demographics, that is, because Affirmative Action and DEI requires educators, employers, and everyone else to give ever-increasing preference to those who do not share my demographics.)

Since the incident, I have been proactive and transparent, working tirelessly to present all of the facts to the public. I have committed to making changes to our standards and collaborating with other units of government on ways to prevent incidents like this in the future. The one person truly responsible for this act is in jail, and I believe justice will be served through the legal process. Despite these efforts, some in our community want me to pay the price for that person’s actions, even threatening that I pay that price with my life, my family’s lives, or the lives of my deputies.”)

GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— Sheriff Jack Campbell has been forced to retire. I should write a book about the stigma of being forced to retire. Being forced to retire makes it impossible to get a job appropriate for your work experience, education, professional certifications, and/or profession licenses. But far worse than that, especially if you are conservative, White, male, non-veteran, Protestant, German American, and/or if your ancestors have been in America for a long time, your critics/opponents use your having been forced to retire to hint/imply/argue/shout that real reason was that you are a very bad person if not a White supremacist, Nazi, KKK member, hater, racist, sexist, bigot, and even worse things. In my book, I would focus on my critics/opponents who have used my having been forced to retire when I was 49 in 1997 against me the most. I would focus on past and present a) leaders of the Milton Township Republican Organization, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Illinois Republican Party, b) Republican leaders of Wheaton, Wheaton Park District, Wheaton Chamber of Commerce, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois, c) Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct, d) conservative leaders and activists, e) religious leaders and activists, and f) those who I have sued and their lawyers. They hint/imply/argue/shout that I must be an especially bad person and even worse things because I had earned a) job-related master’s degrees in 1997, 1980, and 1976, b) job-related professional certifications in 1997, 1996, 1994, 1990, 1981, and 1979, and c) a job related professional license in 1981. Needless to say, my Democrat GAO superiors having forced me to retire was one of the biggest negatives in my life. I will never recover from it. They forced me to retire to punish me because I had been an active member in a class action lawsuit since 1988 that charged them with reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation. Previously, they had a) always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay for performance purposes, b) delayed my promotions and never promoted me beyond me GS-13, c) kept me off audits of IRS for all but 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for them, and d) forced me to take a $22,996/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980. – Dave Diersen

(FROM THE ARTICLE: In doing so, Ms. James flagrantly violates their constitutional rights by using lawfare to silence those who disagree with her,” Thomas More Society Executive Vice President & Head of Litigation Peter Breen, said. “Shamefully, Ms. James seeks to steal away a woman’s choice to save her preborn child, should that pregnant woman seek to stop her in-progress chemical abortion, after taking the first abortion pill. Abortion Pill Reversal gives women a second chance to choose life—a life-saving option that Ms. James seems to think pregnant women are not entitled to choose. With this federal lawsuit, we are once again going on the offense to put an end to Ms. James’ attacks on New York’s life-affirming ministries,” Breen added.)

HERALD REVIEW
— The Republican Party has become a bunch of RINOs. – Randall Limbach, Sierra Vista
https://www.myheraldreview.com/opinion/letters_to_the_editor/letter-the-republican-party-has-become-a-bunch-of-rinos/article_533bdea8-5661-11ef-b3c0-27fec32bdc59.html
(FROM THE LETTER TO THE EDITOR: The Republican party has morphed into a party of Republicans-In-Name-Only (RINOs). The RINO concept has shifted over the decades, sometimes used disparagingly and other times approvingly. Traditionally, RINO describes a Republican deviating from conservative values. In my observation, today’s RINO is any Republican: Who’s actions are contrary to his conservative platform; Who not only doesn’t enforce the United States Constitution but promotes its decay (state sovereignty; representation; personal welfare; and state, individual, land, and water rights); Allows and even promotes tyranny (Covid mandates); Surrenders to Democrats on common-sense conservative principles (voter integrity, term limits, individual/land/water rights, taxation, border control, and federal overreach). The cowardly RINO tackles tough issues only after the door of opportunity has closed with a Republican administrative majority, after which he feigns a sense of urgent engagement on those same issues. Like conventional Democrats, establishment Uni-party RINOs possess globalist, centrist, and intellectually dishonest views, shunning those constituents who dare demand the restoration of our Constitution. The RINO enjoys the benefits of Uni-party ‘membership’ via support from the Grand-Old-Party and Democrat institutions, mainstream media, military industrial complex, giant conglomerations, and Big Tech and entertainment industries. RINOs demand “unity” throughout the party yet refuse to reverse course following generations of continued deceit and anti-America legislation. Today’s RINO would have supported the King of England in his efforts to defeat the original American revolutionaries. Ultimately, as what occurred in 1776, God will shield and promote today’s American revolutionary, regardless of political persuasion, and will rightfully hold these counterfeit Americans accountable.)

They stress that I am White, male, older (born in 1948), baptized, raised, and confirmed as a Missouri Synod Lutheran, and 100% German American. They stress that my ancestors have been in America since 1844 and that I was a Crete resident 1948-1972.

— Top companies for high school graduates to begin and advance their career. – Matthew Euzarraga (COMMENT: In 1966, my ACT score was 24, I graduated in the top 20% of my Crete-Monee High School class, I was a full-time UIC student, and I lived with my parents in Crete. The Democrats who ran the Park Forest Post Office hired me in 1966 as a part-time employee because they could not find a Democrat, minority, female, or veteran who would take the job. They disapproved of, if not despised, a) the fact that I was avoiding the Vietnam War draft with student deferments, b) the fact that I was conservative, Republican, Protestant, German American, my ancestors had been in America since 1844, and a Crete resident since 1948, and c) that I owned a 1966 Pontiac Tempest Sprint. In my defense, I stressed to them that I had bought that Pontiac with money that I earned washing dishes for the minimum wage in the basement of the S.S. Kresge in Chicago Heights 1964-1966. They certainly did not want me to become a full-time employee. To get rid of me, they disallowed my sick leave requests in 1968 and1969 even though I had taken far fewer sick days than any of my coworkers. They succeeded in forcing me to resign in 1969 by falsely saying that I was not available to work enough part-time hours. I was available to work all Mondays, Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays, holidays, and every day that NIU was not in session.)

— Democrats say “Donald Trump to visit Chicago for National Association of Black Journalists Convention. Former President Donald Trump will participate in a conversation and question-and-answer session with political journalists on the opening day of the National Association of Black Journalists Annual Convention & Career Fair.” I am a conservative political/government journalist. There are extremely few conservative political/government journalists in Illinois. I believe in full disclosure. Anticipate/expect that those who share my demographics are more likely to read my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters because they share my conservative political/government opinions. In addition to being conservative, I am Republican, White, male, older, non-poor, married, Protestant, German American, and my ancestors have been in America for a long time. Further, I have three master’s degrees (business, accounting, and finance), six professional certifications (accounting, internal auditing, fraud examination, government financial management, financial services auditing, and forensic accounting), and a professional license (accounting). Further, I have been a Republican Precinct Committeeman since 1999 and the GOPUSA Illinois Editor since 2000. Further, I served as the chairman of a conservative political organization (TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois) for 7 years and on the leadership team of another conservative organization (Illinois Center Right Coalition) for 4 years. Further, I worked for the federal government for almost 30 years (18 for GAO, 9 for IRS, and 3 for the Post Office). Further, I was a union member for almost 12 years.

(FROM THE ARTICLE: “President Trump accomplished more for Black Americans than any other president in recent history by implementing America First policies on the economy, immigration, energy, law and order, and foreign policy,” the Trump campaign claimed in a press release. “Historic rates of Black voters now support President Trump, and the reason is simple: Black voters know that President Trump is the only presidential candidate who can deliver results on day one because he already has, including landmark unemployment rates for Black Americans, increased median income for Black households, historic permanent funding for HBCUs (Historically Black Colleges and Universities), comprehensive bipartisan criminal justice reform, and nearly $50 billion in funds to revitalize Opportunity Zones,” his campaign continued.)

https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2024/05/16/more-americans-want-the-journalists-they-get-news-from-to-share-their-politics-than-any-other-personal-trait/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Most Americans say it is not important that the news they get comes from journalists who share their political views, age, gender or other traits. But people are more likely to say it is important for journalists to share their politics than any other characteristic we asked about. And certain demographic groups place more value than others on the personal traits of their journalists. A 2023 Pew Research Center survey asked Americans how important it is for the journalists they get news from to have six personal characteristics that are similar to their own. About four-in-ten Americans say it is at least somewhat important that they get news from journalists who share their political views (39%). That is nearly double the share who say the same about getting news from journalists who share their religious views (22%) or who talk or sound like them (20%). Smaller shares say they want to get news from journalists who are similar to them in age (15%), share their race or ethnicity (14%), or share their gender (10%). On several of these questions, opinions vary based on respondents’ political views, age and other personal traits. Political views Similar shares of Republicans and Democrats say it is at least somewhat important for the news they get to come from journalists who share their political views. Four-in-ten Republicans and GOP-leaning independents say this, compared with 41% of Democrats and Democratic leaners. When combining party and ideology, people who place themselves at either end of the political spectrum are more likely than those toward the center to say journalists’ politics are important. Roughly half each of conservative Republicans (47%) and liberal Democrats (50%) say it is important that the news they get comes from journalists who share their politics. Smaller shares of liberal and moderate Republicans (29%) and conservative and moderate Democrats (33%) hold this view. Age A bar chart showing that younger people more likely to want news from journalists of a similar age. Younger adults are more likely than older Americans to say they want news from journalists who are around the same age as them. Among U.S. adults ages 18 to 29, 23% say this is at least somewhat important, compared with one-in-ten of those ages 65 and older. Younger adults are also more likely than older adults to say it’s important that the journalists they get news from are the same gender as them; still, large majorities say this is not important. Some 16% of those ages 18 to 29 say it is at least somewhat important for journalists to share their gender, versus 6% of those 65 and older. Race or ethnicity Black Americans are more likely than other racial or ethnic groups to say it is important they get news from journalists who share several of their characteristics – particularly their race or ethnicity. About four-in-ten Black Americans (41%) say it is at least somewhat important that the news they get comes from journalists who share their race or ethnicity. A quarter of Hispanic Americans, 20% of Asian Americans and just 5% of White Americans say the same. For more information on how Black Americans answered these questions, read our report on Black Americans and news. Religion A bar chart showing that White evangelicals, Black Protestants are most likely to want news from journalists with shared religious views. Overall, Americans who identify with a religion are more likely than those who are religiously unaffiliated to find it at least somewhat important to get news from journalists who share their religious views (26% vs. 15%). Among Christians, Protestants are more likely than Catholics to say it is important for journalists to share their religious views (30% vs. 21%). But there are also differences among Protestants and among Catholics: White evangelical Protestants (37%) and Black Protestants (33%) are about twice as likely as White nonevangelical Protestants (16%) to say this. About three-in-ten Hispanic Catholics say this (28%), compared with 17% of White Catholics. Among Jewish Americans, just 10% say it’s at least somewhat important to get news from journalists who share their religious views.)

— Political parties exist to help elect candidates who can/will defend/advance their platform. The Democrat Party platform is liberal and Illinois Democrat candidates, elected officials, and party leaders furiously promote their party’s platform. The Republican Party platform is conservative, but far too many Illinois Republican candidates, elected officials, and party leaders fail/refuse to promote their party’s platform. Consequently Illinois Republican candidates lose elections. According to Illinois Democrats, Illinois Republican candidates can win if they officially become Democrat Lite candidates, that is, if they officially become RINO candidates, that is, if they officially dump the personal responsibility, traditional marriage and family, right to life, immigration, illegal drugs, Second Amendment, and equal opportunity planks in the Republican Party platform, that is, if they official join the Democrats in promoting dependency on government and charity, LGBTQ, abortion, mass/illegal immigration, booze, gambling, pot, and other vices, diminishment of Second Amendment rights, and race and gender based preference giving. To what extent do the Republican candidates on the November 5, 2024 ballot in your precinct promote the aforesaid planks in the Republican Party platform?

There will be lots of commotion no matter what decision the Biden family makes but it seems they want to hold onto power. How does voting change in a state that normally votes the same election after election, it begins at the local level. Who will replace Pritzker if he leaves his position as governor of Illinois and could it be a Republican?)

Further, while many, most, and at times virtually all of them were veterans, while I was a draft avoider. Further, virtually none of them did what I did. I earned a job-related bachelor’s degree in 1970. I earned job-related master’s degrees in 1976, 1980, and 1997. I earned job-related professional certifications in 1979, 1981, 1990, 1994, 1996, and 1997. I earned a job-related professional license in 1981. Further, virtually none of them had spouses who had good-paying jobs. Further, virtually all of them had health, financial, and/or other problems. Consequently, when my Democrat superiors took big adverse actions against, none of them came to my defense.)

ILLINOIS REPUBLICAN PARTY
— PRESS RELEASE: IL Republican Party Responds to President Trump’s Debate Win. CHICAGO — Following President Trump’s resounding debate win tonight in Atlanta, newly elected RNC Committeeman for Illinois Dean White responded on behalf of the Illinois Republican Party with the following statement. “The difference between President Biden’s performance and the strong, definitive performance of President Trump could not be more clear. President Trump displayed why we need his leadership in the White House: to bring down the cost of living for American families, to close Joe Biden’s open border, and to give Americans confidence that we are leading from the front instead of covering for an out-of-touch career politician. There is a reason President Trump is leading in the polls across the country – the voters know he is the leader this country needs and it’s why he’ll win in November.”

GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— Political parties exist to help elect candidates who can and will defend and advance their platform. The Republican Party platform is conservative. Trump won the Republican Party primary. If elected, he can and he will defend and advance the Republican Party platform. It is time for Republican candidates, elected officials, party leaders, and precinct committeemen/captains who fail/refuse to help elect Trump to step down and to be replaced by those who can and will help elect Trump. Trump may not win Illinois, but the more votes that Trump gets, the less of a mandate that Democrats get. I have always helped elect in general elections those Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct who won primary elections, including those who blame me and blame my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters for their defeats. – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com
GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— QESTION: What are the real reasons why people who say that they are religious, conservative, and/or Republican reject Trump? ANSWER: They reject planks in the Republican Party platform that Trump defends and advances including its 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. They despise/hate his demographics including his being heterosexual, conservative, Republican, White, male, older, non-poor, married, draft avoider, gun-owner, Protestant, German American, and/or his ancestors having been in America for a long time. – Dave Diersen

— Who is going to be the next Illinois Republican Party (IRP) chairman? – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com
Based on what the IRP did in 2005 and 2013, the IRP should have by now posted on its website:
a) the names of the two other members of the IRP chairman search committee,
b) the selection process that the committee will use,
c) the qualifications that applicants must have,
d) the requirements that applicants must meet, and
e) the application filing deadline.
Based on what the IRP did in 2005 and 2013, the IRP should then post on its website:
a) the names of all the applicants who met the filing deadline,
b) the names of all those applicants the committee deemed qualified,
c) lots of information on those applicants,
d) how Illinois Republicans can provide input on those applicants to IRP State Central Committee (SCC) members,
e) the date, time, and location of the meeting in which the applicants will give their presentations to the IRP SCC,
f) how Illinois Republicans can attend that meeting,
g) the Zoom link that Illinois Republicans can use to watch the applicant’s presentations at that meeting,
h) the weighted vote that each IRP SCC member has,
i) the weighted vote that each applicant got and from each of the IRP SCC members, and
j) the name of the winning applicant.
I am very interested in learning what each the applicants has done and has promised to do to defend and advance the 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 in the Republican Party platform. I am very interested in learning what position each of the applicants has on direct election of IRP SCC members. It seems to me that the committee will reject applicants who want direct election.

— Biden, Trump’s age and fitness in focus in early debate faceoff (COMMENT: What are Biden’s and Trump’s positions on “up-or-out?” My Democrat IRS and GAO superiors used “up-or-out” to waste my career and to get rid of me. They wrote me off as being “too old” because they had not promoted me to GS-13 (currently $115,439/year) by the time I was 25 years old. That rendered worthless a) my MBA that I earned when I was 27, b) my passing the CPA examination on my first attempt when I was 30, c) my master’s degree in accounting that I earned when I was 31, d) my passing the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt and becoming a licensed CPA when I was 32, e) my job-related professional certifications that I earned when I was 41, 45, 47, and 48, and f) my master’s degree in financial markets and trading that I earned when I was 48. They would not have wasted my career and gotten rid of me if I had been a Democrat, minority, female, and/or veteran.)

— Trump Campaign Releases Five ‘Biden Lies’ on Border – James Morley III
https://www.newsmax.com/newsfront/donald-trump-joe-biden-lies/2024/06/27/id/1170428/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: According to the Trump campaign, the first Biden border lie is that the border is “secure.” Using data from both the U.S. Customs and Border Patrol as well as the Drug Enforcement Agency, the campaign dismantles each of Biden’s immigration talking points. “The fact is the border was never secure under Biden. In fact, the floodgates opened almost immediately after Biden took office. Now, suspected terrorists are flooding across in record numbers as at least ten million illegals, tons and tons of fentanyl, and criminals from all over the world cross into the country — and American citizens are raped and murdered by illegals with no right to be here,” the campaign states. The next “lie” is the oft-repeated phrase from Biden that the “only reason the border is not secure” is because of Trump and Republicans. The campaign notes how Biden took 94 executive actions in his first 100 days to dismantle Trump’s previous border policy. “Lie” number three from the Biden campaign is that a border crisis “happens every single year.” The Trump team notes that since President Biden took office almost 7 million illegals have entered the U.S. The fourth of Biden’s “lies” according to the Trump campaign is that the Administration is “working to make sure the border is safe, orderly and humane.” Trump’s team notes that the open border facilitated by Biden has “has emboldened drug cartels and human traffickers to take advantage of the lax enforcement — at the expense of desperate migrants. The situation is particularly devastating for unaccompanied migrant children, tens of thousands of whom have been LOST by the incompetent Biden administration.” The final Biden border “lie” noted by the Trump campaign is that Biden likes to say “I’ve done all I can do” when it comes to securing the border. Trump’s team responds by noting that “Biden has repeated this lie again and again, even after he blocked comprehensive border security legislation passed by House Republicans.”)

My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have always stressed that I am 100% German national origin and that I lived in Crete 1948-1972. In my defense, I have always stressed 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.)

— Millions of Taxpayers Call the IRS for Help. Two-Thirds Don’t Reach Anyone. The agency hired nearly 7,000 new customer-service representatives, but its internal watchdog group says it still falls short. – Ashlea Ebeling (COMMENT: Have you ever phoned IRS with a tax question? If you did during the 1974 filing season, the IRS employee who answered your call was one of my subordinates. During 1974 IRS filing season, as a 25-year-old GS-11 (currently $80,994/year) IRS Revenue Officer, I supervised all of the IRS employees, which included a rotating staff of about 90 IRS Revenue Agent trainees, in IRS’s new downtown Chicago office who answered taxpayer questions using IRS’s new CentiPhone system. Because of my job performance, the IRS manager who had given me the job and who had promoted me in 1972 and 1973 promoted me to GS-12 (currently $97,079/year). But my Democrat IRS superiors soon got rid of him because they were beyond furious that he given me the CentiPhone job and that he had promoted me instead of an IRS employee who was Democrat, minority, female, and/or veteran. My Democrat superior who led the successful effort to get rid of him was a veteran who was furious that I had avoided the draft.)

They ignored/dismissed/belittled my earning an MBA from Loyola in 1976, passing the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, and my earning a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980.

— DuPage County auditor’s office requests help after nearly four years of dysfunction – GEORGE WIEBE (COMMENT: I have watched the DuPage County Auditor’s office for 38 years, since 1986 when I was a GAO Analyst and the membership director of the Association of Government Accountants (AGA) Chicago Chapter. I had served its Treasurer 1983-1986. I had worked for GAO for 6 years. I had become a Certified Internal Auditor and licensed CPA in 1981. I had earned a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980. I had earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976. I had worked for IRS 1971-1980. I worked hard as AGA Chicago Chapter’s membership director 1986-1996 to recruit DuPage County auditor office professional employees to join AGA. I worked hard to elect Jim Rasins County Auditor in 2000 and 2004. I worked hard to elect Bob Grogan County Auditor in 2008, 2012, 2016, and 2020. Of course, I am working hard to elect Grogan this year. Grogan’s deputy was Peter Balgemann who is one of my relatives.)
https://www.chicagotribune.com/2024/06/25/dupage-county-auditors-office-requests-help-after-nearly-four-years-of-dysfunction/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: For nearly four years, the DuPage County Auditor’s office has not provided a quarterly financial report, a detailed accounting of the county government’s revenues, appropriations, expenditures, and encumbrances. The reports, which are mandated by the State of Illinois, came to a halt shortly after a razor thin election in 2020, in which the current auditor Bill White won by a 75-vote margin, later reduced to 58 votes following a recount against Bob Grogan. Not long after the election, several key staff members from the auditor’s office resigned. “We had a king-sized bed of obligations and a queen-sized sheet of resources,” White said during Tuesday’s county board meeting. “Our target is to complete the quarterly reports by the end of July, we’ll do it the old-fashioned way, the manual way.” The auditor’s office was offered additional staff, according to DuPage County Board Chair Deborah Conroy, but the real hindrance was technology. Going forward the auditor’s office is requesting additional software to help automate the reporting process, White said. But some county board members were left questioning why it has taken so long to get up to speed. “If you needed help why didn’t you come to the board … four years without quarterly reports, it is unacceptable,” District 5 Commissioner Dawn DeSart said during the meeting. Every year the county receives an external audit report from the Chicago-based accounting firm Baker Tilly, however, these reports lack the detailed examination expected from the auditor’s office. “The internal audit looks way more into the minuscule, detailed items, plus the external auditor does not detect fraud … this is where our internal auditor comes in,” District 1 Commissioner Cindy Cahill said during Tuesday’s meeting. Also delayed is the auditor’s report on the county clerk’s office, which came under the scrutiny of the board and DuPage County State’s Attorney’s Office, after $224,000 in invoices submitted for purchases were not properly approved or made without going through a bidding process. The report cannot be publicly released until the clerk’s office receives and has a chance to reply to its contents, according to White. The clerk’s office will have a week to respond, White said. “We need it done, the people of DuPage need it done, this is what you’re elected to do and frankly there’s no excuse,” Cahill said.)

They stressed that my wife’s health insurance covered IVF. They knew full-well that our doctor had advised against IVF because there were major problems with my sperm and my wife’s eggs. They hinted/implied/argued/shouted that I lied about my wanting to have children and our efforts to have children. In 1989, they used the aforesaid to throw me off audits of IRS which were in-town, to give me a very bad 6-month out-of-town job assignment, to give me very unfair performance expectations, to give me a very unfair performance appraisal, and to rank me at the bottom of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes.

But NTEU did not come to my defense at all when my Democrat IRS superiors failed/refused to promote me after 1974 even though I had earned an MBA in 1976, passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, and earned a master’s degree in accounting in 1980. Further, NTEU did not come to my defense at all when my Democrat IRS superiors disallowed my education expenses in 1978. While I worked for IRS 1971-1980, I ever-increasingly did what rank and file NTEU members did not do. I earned a job-related master’s degrees and professional certification.)

— Ever-increasingly, the mainstream news media exists to elect Democrats by promoting the Democrat Party platform, that is, by promoting dependency on government and charity, LGBTQ, abortion, mass/illegal immigration, booze, gambling, pot, and other vices, diminishment of Second Amendment rights, and/or Affirmative Action and DEI, that is, patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, religious discrimination, and national origin discrimination. – Dave Diersen

— Demographics are ever-increasingly everything. Ever-increasingly, your demographics determine how everyone treats you, that is, ever-increasingly, your demographics determine your future. Ever-increasingly, everyone dumps those who are heterosexual, conservative, Republican, American, White, male, older, non-veteran, married, non-poor, Protestant, German American, and/or have ancestors who have been in America for a long time. I was born in 1948 and even though 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, and my IRS superiors wrote me off as being too old to be promoted again in 1974 when I was 25 years old, I was able to earn a bachelor’s degree, three master’s degrees, six professional certifications, and a professional license. If I was born today, because of my demographics, I would not be able to do the aforesaid. – Dave Diersen

— Democrats ever-increasingly dominate Chicagoland. Based on your career, what career advice do you give? Based on my career 1964-1997 working for Chicagoland Democrats, my advice is to leave Chicagoland if you are a Republican, and especially if you are a Republican who is heterosexual, conservative, White, male, older, non-veteran, Protestant, German American, and/or your ancestors have been in America for a long time. Because I have the aforesaid demographics, my Democrat GAO superiors wasted my career and forced me to retire in 1997 when I was 49 years old. Previously, my Democrat IRS, Firestone Store, and Post Office superiors wasted my career. My Democrat Post Office superiors forced me to resign in 1969. They wasted what I learned a) earning a job-related bachelor’s degree in 1970, b) earning job-related master’s degrees in 1976, 1980, and 1997, and c) earning job related professional certifications in 1979 and 1981. – Dave Diersen
