— Pope Leo condemns economies that marginalize the poor while the wealthy live in a bubble of luxury. Pope Leo XIV has criticized how wealthy people live in a “bubble of comfort and luxury” while the poor suffer. DD: My critics/opponents have always demonized me, denigrated me, and condemned me as being undeservedly wealthy. It all started when I was 17 years old in 1966 when I bought a new 1966 Pontiac Tempest Sprint. In my defense, I bought that car with money I earned washing dishes for the minimum wage for 18 months. It got worse in 1967 when I bought a new 1968 Oldsmobile 442 and in 1968 when I bought a new 1969 Dodge Charger SE. In my defense, I bought those cars with money I earned delivering mail for the Park Forest Post Office. It got worse in 1971 when I bought a new 1972 Corvette. I my defense, I bought that car with money I earned working for IRS and working part-time for the Firestone Store in Chicago Heights. It got worse in 1972 when I bought a new town home in University Park. I my defense, I bought that town home with money I earned working for IRS and working part-time for the Firestone Store in Chicago Heights.

NEWSWEEK
— The Most Dangerous Jobs in America and What They Pay. DD: What did you do to qualify yourself for better paying jobs? 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. Because my ACT score was only 24 and because I only just barely made it into the upper 20% of my high school class, one could argue that because I did the aforesaid, just about anyone could. I graduated from NIU in 1970. In 1971, in today’s dollars, my IRS salary was only $55,850/year.
https://www.newsweek.com/most-dangerous-jobs-america-what-they-pay-10871576
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The most dangerous jobs in the United States don’t always have the payoff of a sky-high salary, according to a new report from Resume Now. In fact, some of the riskiest roles don’t even clear $60,000. . .Based on the Census of Fatal Occupational Injuries and Occupational Employment and Wage Statistics data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, drivers/truck drivers had some of the most dangerous, lowest-paying jobs in America. With a fatality rate of 984 in 2023, this group only brought a median pay of $57,440.)

MINNESOTA STAR TRIBUNE
— About those federal workers people so love to hate … Perhaps you just don’t know what they’re doing for you. DD: I was a federal employee for almost 30 years. I have been a federal retiree for more than 28 years. I should write about my critics/opponents who despise/hate federal employees and federal retirees the most.
https://www.startribune.com/about-those-federal-workers-people-so-love-to-hate/601225654
(FROM THE ARTICLE: I am tired of hearing about the federal workers of this country. They are lazy. They are overpaid. They are incompetent. There is no need for their work. For almost 40 years I have listened to this, and now I have to watch these workers be thrown from their jobs in the middle of the night. Why? Please meet a federal worker, my husband. He used his Bachelor of Science degree to work for the Department of Defense and then the National Weather Service. He worked jobs that required schedules of six days on and two days off, rotating shifts from midnights to days to evenings, and most holidays were worked. He didn’t get many weekends off, or holidays, but it didn’t matter because we never got to live near family. We moved a lot in support of the work. In our 40-plus years of marriage the closest we have ever lived near family was for the one year when we were within a three-hour drive of my family. Otherwise, family has been anywhere from 1,500 miles to 4,000 miles away. My husband could have taken a job in the private sector, working as an engineer as most of his friends did, where the paychecks would have been much greater. No, he was determined that his place was working to serve our government. So, for 40-plus years we have watched everyone around us celebrating holidays with family, enjoying weekends with family, and raking in the dollars of the private sector. We have kept our mouths shut when conversations turned to raking over the federal worker. No more!)

MONTGOMERY COMMUNITY MEDIA
— First of Its Kind Federal Workforce Career Center Opens in Wheaton. DD: My Democrat GAO superiors forced me to retire when I was 49 years old in 1997. In today’s dollars, that meant a $86,371/year (56%) loss of income ($153,151/year salary minus $66,780/year Civil Service Retirement System pension). My Democrat GAO superiors not only did not help me find a job appropriate for my work experience, education, professional certifications, and professional license, they sabotaged my job search. I should write about that.

EDUCATION NEXT
— The Predictive Power of Standardized Tests. DD: What standardized tests have you taken? If I had not taken and passed standardized tests, a) UIC would not accepted in 1966, NIU in 1969, Loyola in 1972, DePaul in 1976, and IIT in 1992, b) I would not have earned degrees from NIU in 1970, Loyola in 1976, DePaul in 1980, and IIT in 1997, c) the Post Office would not have hired me in 1966, Firestone Stores in 1970, IRS in 1971, and GAO in 1980, d) IRS would not have promoted me in 1972, 1973, and 1974, e) I would not have become a licensed CPA in 1981, and f) GAO would not have promoted me in 1986. I took and passed the postal employment examination in 1966, Federal Service Entrance Examination in 1970, CPA examination in 1979, and Certified Internal Auditor (CIA) examination in 1981. I passed the CPA and CIA examinations on my first attempt. Since 1966, my critics/opponents have hinted/implied/argued/shouted that I owe my test taking successes to my benefitting from discrimination against those who are minority, female, younger, veteran, LGBTQ, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or have ancestors who have not been in America for a long time. In my defense, neither of my parents attended college. My father was only the first of my ancestors to earn a high school diploma. My mother never attended high school. I had to work my way through college.

USA TODAY
— How To Choose The Right College Major. DD: My biggest career mistake was not majoring in accounting from the beginning. I erroneously believed that because I was not strong in math, I could never pass the CPA examination. I did not start taking graduate evening accounting courses until I was 27 in 1976.  I did not take and pass the CPA examination on my first attempt until I was 30.  I did not earn a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul until I was 31. I did not take and pass the Certified Internal Auditor examination until I was 32. I did not become a licensed CPA until I was 32. By then, the accounting profession viewed me as being much too old. The accounting profession would not have done that if I had been a minority, female, and/or veteran.
https://www.usatoday.com/press-release/story/16252/how-to-choose-the-right-college-major-student-career-decision-guide/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Assessment first: Use personality tests, skills evaluations, and values assessments to understand natural strengths before picking a major. Research reality: Look beyond salary figures to examine job market trends, daily responsibilities, and long-term career satisfaction rates in chosen fields. Timing matters: The 15-25 age window offers optimal decision-making opportunities before life circumstances make career changes more difficult. Avoid pressure: Don’t let parental expectations, peer choices, or social media influence override personal interests and natural abilities. Get expert help: Professional career advice can provide structured guidance to help students make confident decisions within weeks rather than years of trial and error.)

— Who do your critics/opponents call losers? SEE: https://www.google.com/search?q=losers  My critics/opponents call federal employees losers who are White, male, and/or nonveteran and who do not make GS-13 ($117,807) by age 25, GS-14 ($139,211) by age 30, GS-15 ($163,749) by age 35, and Senior Executive Service ($195,200) by age 40. Extremely few federal employees make the aforesaid promotion deadlines. My 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. Further, my critics/opponents call Republican Precinct Committeemen (RPC) losers who are White, male, and/or nonveteran and who not become township party leaders, county party leaders, and Illinois Republican Party leaders. 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. In my defense, I stress that I am a conservative, that is, that I am a platform Republican. – Dave Diersen

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

GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— I have been the Illinois reporter for GOPUSA since 2000. What do you say to my Republican critics/opponents who ever-increasingly do not want me a) to know about their events, b) to promote their events, c) to attend their events, d) to speak with anyone at their events, e) to ask questions of the speakers at their events, or f) to report on their events? Ever-increasingly they have their operatives and their dupes try to stop me from speaking with anyone at their events. Ever-increasingly, they blame me and blame my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters for all of their problems, for all of my problems, for all of your problems, and for all of everyone’s problems. According to them, I paint Republican candidates as being more conservative than they want to be painted and that causes them to lose elections. Should I start writing about my Republican critics/opponents and their operatives and their dupes? I would focus on those who have succeed in a) stopping me from attending their events and b) throwing me out of their events. – Dave Diersen

GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— What do your Republican critics/opponents do? Mine have their operatives and their dupes destroy those like me a) who they cannot manipulate or dominate, b) who refuse to glorify and praise them, c) who refuse to pander to them, d) who refuse to serve as one of their operatives or dupes, e) who refuse to cover up their wrongdoing, and/or f) who refuse to give them money. I should write about my Republican critics/opponents who are still in the mix and who have had their operatives and their dupes take the most/biggest adverse actions against me lately. Most commonly, they reject the equal opportunity plank in the Republican Party platform. They want more and more and more preference for those who are minority, female, younger, LGBTQ, non-Protestant, non-German American, citizens of foreign countries, and/or have ancestors who have not been in America for a long time. – Dave Diersen

WALL STREET JOURNAL
— 10% of women significantly outearn their husbands, up from 3% in the early 1970s. DD: Since my wife and I got married in 1978, my critics/opponents have decried her income.

— Lifespans are getting longer, and so are many workers’ careers. DD: I should write about the negatives of being forced to retire early. My Democrat GAO superiors forced me to retire when I was 49 in 1997.
https://www.wsj.com/personal-finance/retirement/retirement-after-75-finances-life-b21410b9
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Almost 9% of Americans 75 and older were working or looking for work last year, up from 6% two decades earlier, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. And the share between 65 and 74 rose to 27% in 2024, versus 22% in 2004. The government estimates those percentages will rise more along with the aging population. There are plenty of reasons people delay retirement until later in life. Some have financial worries. Many are highly educated professionals and business owners who enjoy what they do too much to stop entirely, said Nicole Maestas, an economist and professor of healthcare policy at Harvard Medical School. Many who work longer are self-employed and might have greater control over their work hours. Others never found the right time to leave. The financial benefits of delaying retirement can be significant. A person who continues to earn some income, even on a part-time basis, is likely to withdraw less from their savings, preserving more for later in life or heirs. People who work longer may also be able to delay Social Security, which increases its payouts by up to 8% for every year they refrain from collecting a check between ages 62 and 70.)

GOOGLE AI
— Blaming others DD: I should write a book about my critics/opponents who have blamed me and blamed my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters the most for their problems. I would focus on those who have had their operatives and their dupes take the most/biggest adverse actions against me. I would focus on Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct who have lost elections. I would focus on leaders of the Illinois Republican Party, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Milton Township Republican Organization. I would focus on Republican leaders of Illinois, DuPage County, Milton Township, and Wheaton. I would focus on conservative leaders. I would focus on religious leaders. I would focus on those who I have sued and their attorneys.
https://www.google.com/search?q=blaming+problems+on+others
(FROM THE POSTING: Blaming others is a defense mechanism used to avoid self-responsibility, protect self-esteem, and manage guilt or shame by deflecting personal accountability onto others. This unhealthy coping strategy, also known as deflection, prevents personal growth and creates unhealthy relationship dynamics, leading to a cycle of personal challenges. To overcome blaming, it’s important to understand its root causes, practice self-reflection, and learn to take healthy responsibility for one’s actions and emotions. )
