— Justice Richard A. Posner has died. His influence in law was beyond compare: Posner, who served from 1981 to 2017 on the United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit, in Chicago, wrote thousands of judicial opinions and more than 50 books. DD: In 1996, I argued a case pro se in front of Posner. According to Google AI: The landmark federal case Diersen v. Chicago Car Exchange (1997) ( https://law.justia.com/cases/federal/appellate-courts/F3/110/481/526770/ ) is a well-known U.S. Court of Appeals (7th Circuit) decision regarding federal odometer fraud and automobile sales.

I had earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976 and I was taking graduate evening accounting courses at DePaul. I lived in a one bedroom condo in the Outer Drive East building that I had bought in 1976. I was renting out a townhome in University Park that I had bought new in 1972. I owned a 1972 Corvette that I had bought new in 1971. See Money Magazine’s 4-page February 1978 article on my wife and I at https://gopillinois.com/documents/ Things that impressed me about my outstanding wife included that her first job after high school was working for the FBI. She soon became the Corporate Secretary of the U.S. League of Savings Institutions. She did much to help elect Big Jim Thompson governor in 1976. She earned a bachelor’s degree in finance from DePaul in 1986.

(FROM THE POSTING: Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY), U.S. Senator Gary Peters (D-MI), Ranking Member of the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, and U.S. Representatives Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY-08), House Democratic Leader, and Robert Garcia (D-CA-42), Ranking Member of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, issued the following statement after Chairman Rand Paul (R-KY) initiated a sham process to recommend nominees to serve as the next Comptroller General of the Government Accountability Office (GAO) for a 15-year term: “This afternoon, Chairman Rand Paul’s office requested submissions of candidates to serve as the next Comptroller General of GAO with a deadline of less than 24 hours. This is clearly a sham to enable President Trump to appoint a handpicked nominee to lead Congress’ watchdog. We cannot allow President Trump to install a fox in the henhouse at an agency Congress relies on to provide independent, nonpartisan oversight, and expose waste, fraud, and abuse across the Trump Administration. “Counter to the last time a GAO Comptroller was selected in 2010 in a yearlong, bipartisan process, Republican leaders have never convened the Commission for meetings, and the Commission has not interviewed a single candidate for this critical role, despite repeated requests to begin the process over the last two years. Every Member of Congress who values independent oversight and good stewardship of taxpayer dollars should call this out for what it is – a transparent effort to ram through another Trump crony at the 11th hour, and undercut Congress’ ability to conduct effective oversight of the Trump Administration. GAO is Congress’ nonpartisan watchdog, conducting research, investigations and audits that support Congressional oversight of the Executive Branch. By statute, a bipartisan, bicameral Commission is central to the process of selecting a new Comptroller General. The 10-member Commission recommends at least three candidates, and the President chooses a nominee from the Commission’s recommendations. In the past, the Commission engaged in an extensive process, seeking a wide range of applicants and reviewing and interviewing candidates in a bipartisan manner. The bipartisan Commission is made up of the Speaker of the House of Representatives, the President pro tempore of the Senate, the majority and minority leaders of the House and Senate, the Chair and Ranking Member of the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, and the Chair and Ranking Member of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform. All three times the Commission process has occurred in the past, the president has selected a nominee with bipartisan support.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Congressional Democrats claim GOP leaders are trying to choke off the selection process for the federal government’s top watchdog in a bid to let President Donald Trump install one of his allies before Republicans cede the majority in January. Top Democrats in both chambers divulged Wednesday night that Republicans gave them less than 24 hours to submit candidates to serve as Comptroller General, otherwise known as the head of the Government Accountability Office — an official uniquely empowered to sue Trump on Congress’ behalf for clawing back federal funding lawmakers have approved. “This is clearly a sham to enable President Trump to appoint a handpicked nominee to lead Congress’ watchdog,” the Democrats said in a joint statement. “We cannot allow President Trump to install a fox in the henhouse at an agency Congress relies on to provide independent, nonpartisan oversight, and expose waste, fraud, and abuse across the Trump Administration.” The lawmakers signing onto the statement include Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, and the top Democrats on the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee and the Committee on House Oversight and Governmental Affairs — Gary Peters of Michigan and Robert Garcia of California, respectively. GAO is currently headed by an acting comptroller general, Orice Williams Brown, who is under increasing pressure to sue the Trump administration for withholding federal cash after the president canceled hundreds of millions of dollars without Congress’ consent this fall. Brown assumed that role last December, when Gene Dodaro retired at the end of his 15-year term. By law, a bipartisan panel of 10 lawmakers is supposed to recommend candidates for Trump to nominate for Senate confirmation. And when Dodaro retired last year, Senate HSGAC Chair Rand Paul (R-Ky.) — one of the lawmakers on the broader recommendation committee — said he intended to “look for someone who’s honest,” warning that it would be “a mistake to get somebody who’s been real active in political processes.” Democrats now claim Paul and other top Republicans are working to “ram through another Trump crony at the 11th hour, and undercut Congress’ ability to conduct effective oversight of the Trump Administration.” The Washington Sun reported last month that the administration has floated the idea of nominating Eric Ueland to head GAO; POLITICO has not independently confirmed that the White House is considering the former longtime Senate aide who now serves as a senior official at the White House budget office. In the months leading up to Dodaro’s retirement last year, Democrats on Capitol Hill began to lament the fact that a president who continually challenges the bounds of Congress’ funding power would get to nominate the watchdog tasked with defending the authority of the legislative branch. In the more than 10 months since Dodaro left the role, Republican leaders on the bipartisan selection commission have held no meetings, nor have they interviewed any candidates for the role, said Schumer, Jeffries, Peters and Garcia Wednesday night. Peters and Garcia are supposed to be on the panel that recommends GAO candidates, since they are the leading Democrats on Congress’ oversight committees. Spokespeople for Paul and Senate Majority Leader John Thune did not immediately respond to requests for comment.)

— My critics/opponents are anti-conservative. According to them, the Illinois Republican Party (IRP) platform ( https://illinois.gop/wp-content/uploads/sites/25/2025/07/2024-Platform-of-the-Illinois-Republican-Party.pdf ) is the problem. It is too conservative for them. Del Mar has called for a new IRP platform. If that goes forward, my anti-conservative critics/opponents will do everything that they can to strike the platform’s personal responsibility, traditional marriage and family, right to life, immigration, anti-vice, Second Amendment, equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving), and other planks. Of course, I will do everything that I can to stop that. I served on the IRP Platform and Resolutions Committee in 2008. My critics/opponents had their operatives and their dupes throw me off the IRP State Convention Platform and Resolutions Committee in 2024. Political parties exist to help elect candidates who can and will defend and advance their platform. The IRP platform is conservative. Illinois Democrat leaders promote the Illinois Democrat Party platform and its liberal principles far more aggressively than Illinois Republican leaders promote the IRP platform and its conservative principles. The problem is the failure/refusal of far too many Illinois Republican candidates, elected officials, and party leaders to promote, defend, and advance the IRP platform. Consequently, Illinois ever-increasingly moves further to the left and more and more and more Republican candidates are defeated. – Dave Diersen

— People who retire die. DD: I am not dead yet. I have been retired since I was 49 in 1997 when my Democrat GAO superiors forced me to retire and made it impossible for me to get a paid job appropriate for my work experience, education, professional certifications, and professional license. They rudely flushed down their toilets a) my almost 18 years of experience working for GAO, the last 11 years of which at the GS-13 Step 1-10 Levels, currently $118,984-$154,682/year, b) my almost 9 year experience working for IRS, the last 5 1/2 years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 Levels, currently $100,059-$113,402/year, c) my 1997 master’s degree in financial markets and trading from IIT, d) my 1980 master’s degree in accounting from DePaul, e) my 1976 MBA from Loyola, f) my becoming a Forensic Accountant in 1997, Certified Financial Services Auditor in 1996, Certified Government Financial Manager in 1994, and Certified Fraud Examiner in 1990, g) my passing the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt and becoming a licensed CPA in 1981, and h) my passing the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979. I be dead by now if I had not found reasons for living beyond my wife. Those reasons include my using my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters to promote conservative principles since 2000. I should write about that.

AXIOS

I did yard work 1962-1964, delivered newspapers 1962-1966, washed dishes 1964-1966, cleaned golf shoes, chipped slag, and pumped gasoline in 1966, delivered mail 1966-1969, worked on an automotive assemble line in 1970, sold tires, automotive services, and major appliances 1970-1971, pumped more gasoline 1971-1972, collected delinquent taxes 1971-1980, and audited federal agencies 1980-1997. Because the aforesaid jobs were so bad, my superiors had lots of problems finding qualified minorities, females, younger people, and veterans to meet their Affirmative Action quotas.

Del Mar wants a party convention next year “to draft new bylaws, new platform and elect new leaders and build a solid foundation for future growth.” DD: According to my critics/opponents, the Republican Party platform is the problem. The Democrat Party exists to promote liberal principles; its platform promotes liberal principles. The Republican Party exists to promote conservative principles; its platform promotes conservative principles. Illinois Democrat leaders promote the Democrat Party platform and its liberal principles far more aggressively than Illinois Republican leaders promote the Republican Party platform and its conservative principles. Consequently, Illinois ever-increasingly moves further to the left.

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Illinois Republicans are thinking about what to do next after a brutal election that saw candidates lose by significant margins throughout the state. Republicans lost at least 11 seats in the General Assembly, leading to a record super majority for Democrats. Republican Party Chair Bob Grogan said he believes Republicans still hold the upper hand on issues but they need better candidates. There’s also some internal frustration with Darren Bailey’s running mate Aaron Del Mar calling for a revamp of the party and some legislators asking for new leadership in the General Assembly.)

— According to Google AI: “Using personal experiences to make a point is a powerful rhetorical strategy, often called an anecdotal appeal or exemplification. When done well, it turns abstract ideas into a human story your audience can feel and remember.” To make my points in my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters, I use my personal experiences. Of course, my critics/opponents do not want me to do that. I stress the adverse actions that my critics/opponents in Illinois, DuPage County, and Wheaton have had their operatives and their dupes take against me because I promote conservative principles, that is, because I promote planks in the Republican Party platform that they reject. I promote the personal responsibility, traditional marriage and family, right to life, immigration, anti-vice, Second Amendment, and/or equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) planks in the Republican Party platform. I stress the adverse actions that my Democrat superiors in the federal government took against me because I opposed their use of Affirmative Action, up-or-out, budget cuts, and the subjectivity in their performance appraisal systems to get rid of their employees like me who were conservative, Republican, White, male, older, and/or non-veteran. – Dave Diersen

To earn more money I worked my way through college and I earned a job-related bachelor’s degree when I was 21 in 1970. I worked two jobs 1971-1972.

Needless-to-say, my critics/opponents have always been furious about that. SEE: https://greencities.com/portfolio/200-w-adams/ I got that preferred office because of my federal seniority and because I was a GS-13. While I had 10 years GAO seniority, I also had almost 9 years IRS seniority and almost 3 years full-time Post Office seniority even though I had only been a part-time postal employee. My Democrat GAO superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates were furious about that. They looked down on executive branch employees. IRS had promoted me in 1972, 1973, and 1974. According to them, if I had been a GAO employee, I never would have gotten those promotions. They stressed that I did not earn an MBA until 1976 and that I had not taken and passed the CPA examination until 1979. Further, they stressed I did not make GS-13 until 1986 and that I would not have if I had not earned a master’s degree in accounting in 1980, taken and passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination in 1981, became a licensed CPA in 1986, and if the GAO manager who had arranged my transfer in 1980 had not gotten back into power and had promoted me to GS-13 in 1986. – Dave Diersen

— IRS Taxpayer Services. DD: I worked for IRS Taxpayer Service for 6 months. When I was a 25-year-old newly promoted GS-11 (currently $83,482/year) IRS Revenue Officer in 1973, my Democrat IRS superiors were furious when my IRS manager (Dave) gave me an assignment instead of giving it to one of my coworkers who were Democrat, minority, female, and/or veteran. He made me responsible for IRS answering all the calls that came into its new Taxpayer Service Centiphone automated answering system in downtown Chicago. I supervised the operation’s entire staff which included 90 rotating IRS Revenue Agent trainees. Because of my job performance, Dave, who had promoted me in 1972 and 1973, promoted me to GS-12 (currently $100,059/year) in 1974. That made my Democrat IRS superiors even more furious. According to them, that Centiphone assignment and my promotion should have been given to a Democrat, minority, female, and/or veteran. They soon got rid of Dave. They disallowed my travel vouchers in 1974. They disallowed my education deductions in 1978. They ignored/dismissed/belittled my earning an MBA in 1976 and my passing the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979. They made it clear that they would never promote me to GS-13. That directly resulted in my transferring to GAO.

GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— As time goes on, my critics/opponents make it ever-increasingly more clear that they are anti-conservative, that is, that they are anti-Republican. They ever-increasingly blame the conservative planks in the Republican Party platform for the November 3, 2026 defeats. According to them, elected officials should give voters want they want. According to them, voters want a) more dependency on government and charity, that is, more welfare, b) more LGBTQ, that is, more destruction of traditional marriage and family, c) more abortion, that is, more disrespect for human life, d) more mass/illegal immigration, that is, more cheap labor, e) more booze, gambling, pot, and other vices, f) more diminishment of Second Amendment rights, and g) more Affirmative Action and DEI, that is, more patronage, race and gender based preference giving, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, religious discrimination, and national origin discrimination. – Dave Diersen

— How many conservatives are there in Illinois and your county, township, municipality, municipal district, school district, precinct, and neighborhood? What have they said or done lately to defend and advance conservative principles? For example, what have they said or done to promote the personal responsibility, traditional marriage and family, right to life, immigration, anti-vice, Second Amendment, and/or equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) planks in the Republican Party platform? – Dave Diersen

— Democrat leaders promote envy big time. They use affordability problems to promote envy. My Democrat superiors in the federal government promoted envy big time to turn my superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates against me. They stressed that I could a) afford to buy new cars when I was 17, 19, 20, 23, 25, 29, etc., b) afford to buy real estate when I was 24, 25, 27, 29, and 35, c) afford to pay for graduate evening business, accounting, and finance courses when I was 23-31 and 43-48, d) afford to get married when I was 29, e) afford to buy collector cars when I was 40 and 45, and f) afford to buy etc. They hinted/implied/argued/shouted that I could afford the aforesaid a) because my parents were filthy rich, b) because I avoided the Vietnam War draft, c) because I was improperly promoted when I was 23, 24, 25, and 38, d) because of my wife’s income and savings, and e) because we gave up trying to have children, we did not adopt, and we did not become foster parents. – Dave Diersen

They reject planks in the Republican Party platform, most commonly, its personal responsibility, traditional marriage and family, right to life, immigration, anti-vice, Second Amendment, and/or equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) planks. They are never-Trumpers. They look down on, if not despise, if not hate those who share Trump’s demographics: conservative, Republican, American, White, male, older, non-poor, draft-avoider, heterosexual, married, Protestant, German American, and/or has ancestors who have been in America for a long time. They blame me and blame my newsletters for all the defeats that Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct have suffered since 2000.

Del Mar, who was the Republican lieutenant governor candidate, says Republicans can’t wait until the 2028 election cycle to address the party’s troubles, according to a statement. “The Illinois Republican Party is decimated,” he said. “If we are going to recover from the results of Tuesday’s election, we need to build a strong foundation that can facilitate future success.”

I have less money because my Democrat superiors in the federal government wasted my career and forced me to retire when I was 49 in 1997. It all culminated in 1997 when my Democrat GAO superiors forced me to retire and gave my job to my Democrat Black subordinate who had less work experience than I had, had less education than I had, had one professional certification while I has six, and had no professional license like the one I had. Previously they had always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance, kept me off audits of IRS for all but 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for them, delayed my promotions and never promoted me beyond GS-13, and forced me to take a $23,699 (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980.

(FROM THE NEWSLETTER: Republicans got rolled in legislative races across the country. In Illinois, Republicans lost at least eight seats in the Illinois General Assembly, including six held by sitting lawmakers and two open seats. The drubbing further expands Democrats’ supermajorities in both chambers. “It means Democrats don’t have to try to work toward the middle [on legislation], which is really where the vast majority of the electorate is,” said state GOP state Rep. Dan Ugaste, who represents Chicago’s far western suburbs and was among the Republicans who lost Tuesday.)

According to Google AI: “When a plaintiff files a lawsuit or reports misconduct, defendants sometimes strike back using a variety of legal, professional, or personal maneuvers. Retaliation by defendants against plaintiffs typically takes the form of retaliatory countersuits, adverse employment actions, tactical aggressive discovery, and out-of-court intimidation.

To justify that, they ignored/dismissed/belittled a) my having worked for IRS for almost 9 years, the last 5 1/2 years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 Levels, currently $100,059-$113,402/year, b) my having passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, c) my earning an MBA from Loyola in 1976, d) my having almost completed the requirements for a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul, and e) that much of what I did for IRS was very similar to what I would do for GAO.

— DD: To get votes from younger voters, Democrat leaders shout at them that Trump causes all their career problems. When you were younger, what caused your career problems? My being a Republican and my avoiding the Vietnam War draft caused me lots of big problems. My Post Office (1966-1969), IRS (1971-1980), and GAO (1980-1997) superiors were Democrat veterans who blamed Nixon and Republican draft avoiders like me for America losing the Vietnam War. According to them, my avoiding the draft gave me tremendous unfair advantages over veterans. They stressed that if I had not avoided the draft, I would not have been able to a) earn a bachelor’s degree in business in when I was 21 in 1970, b) earn an MBA in 1976, c) pass the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, d) earn a master’s degree in accounting in 1980, e) pass the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981, and f) become a licensed CPA in 1981. According to them, a) the Post Office should have hired a veteran instead of me in 1966, b) IRS should have hired a veteran instead of me in 1971, c) IRS should have promoted veterans instead of me in 1972, 1973, and 1974, d) GAO should have hired a veteran instead of me in 1980, e) and GAO should have promoted a veteran instead of me in 1986. Because of their aforesaid beliefs, they used Affirmative Action, up-or-out, and budget cuts to ignore/dismiss/belittle my degrees, processional certifications, and professional license. To get rid of me, a) my aforesaid Post Office superiors disallowed my sick leave requests in 1968 and 1969 and forced me to resign in 1969, b) my aforesaid IRS superiors got rid of the IRS manager who had promoted me in 1972, 1973, and 1974, disallowed my travel vouchers in 1974 and my education deductions in 1978, and never promoted me beyond GS-13, and c) my aforesaid GAO superiors forced me to take a $23,699/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS, delayed my promotions and never promoted me beyond GS-13, forced the GAO manager who had arranged my transfer and had promoted me to retire in 1987, always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance, and forced me to retire when I was 49 in 1997.

— DD: Democrat leaders blame Trump for Indian Americans going Democrat.
https://fortune.com/2026/11/08/trump-midterms-indian-american-voters-democrats-republicans/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: In 2024, Donald Trump appeared to make inroads with Indian Americans, a traditionally Democratic voting bloc. He won the support of 30% of Indian Americans that year, up from 22% in 2020, according to a report published on Nov. 2 by the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. Its charts show that up until January of this year, GOP support was increasing among Indian women and men aged 40 and older. But two years into Trump’s second term, and those gains vanished ahead of the midterms. Just 19% of the 1,000 Indian American adults surveyed from Oct. 7 to Oct. 27 by Carnegie intended to vote for the Republican in their House district, compared to 62% intending to vote for the Democrat. In Senate races, Democrats held a similar advantage over Republicans at 63% to 21%. The reversal coincided with the Trump administration’s crackdown on legal immigration through H1-B visa restrictions, increasingly vocal anti-Indian rhetoric from some Republicans.)
AMERICAN BAZAAR
— Indian American Democrat Saba Haider has won election to the Illinois House of Representatives, securing 71.2 percent of the vote in the Nov. 3 midterm elections. She becomes the first South Asian woman elected to the Illinois General Assembly, according to published election results. Haider defeated Republican candidate Brian Scopa in the race for Illinois’ 84th House District, receiving 21,995 votes against Scopa’s 8,902, according to Ballotpedia’s reported results. Scopa received 28.8 percent of the vote, compared with Saba Haider’s 71.2 percent, giving her a margin of 13,093 votes. The constituency includes parts of Will, DuPage, Kane and Kendall counties, covering communities such as Aurora, Naperville, Oswego, Montgomery and Boulder Hill. Her election takes her from county-level government to the Illinois state legislature, where she will represent residents of the 84th District.

— Democrat control of the U.S. Senate and the U.S. House will harm everyone and harm everything big time. It will especially harm Republicans who are conservative, White, male, older, heterosexual, married, Protestant, German American, and/or have ancestors who have been in America for a long time. Needless-to-say, the more of the aforesaid that you are, the more that you should be doing to protect yourself. Ever-increasingly, Democrats will use government to take away your income, assets, rights, opportunities, firearms, and everything else and give it all to Democrats who are liberal, non-White, female, younger, LGBTQ, unmarried, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or have ancestors who have not been in America for a long time. Sadly, anticipate/expect, that to save themselves, more and more and more Republicans will not only become Democrats, they will become liberal, LGBTQ, unmarried, and/or non-Protestant. – Dave Diersen

— Political messaging. Political parties exist to help elect candidates who can and will defend and advance their platform. The Republican Party platform is conservative. My critics/opponents have always been extremely critical of my political messaging. They blame me and they blame my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters for all the defeats that Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct have suffered since 2000. According to them, I have always been too conservative because I have always promoted the personal responsibility, traditional marriage and family, right to life, immigration, anti-vice, Second Amendment, and equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving), and other planks in the Republican Party platform, planks that they reject. They want the aforesaid planks to be officially stricken from the platform. They want me to stop sending out my newsletters. They demonize me, denigrate me, and condemn me as being a Trump supporter. Previously, they blamed Republican defeats on what I did as the TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois chairman 2005-2012 and as an Illinois Center Right Coalition Steering Committee member 2003-2007. At best, my critics/opponents want the Republican Party to be the Democrat Lite Party. What do you say to my critics/opponents? – Dave Diersen

http://www.gopillinois.com
— QUESTION: What should Republican candidates stress to win elections? ANSWER: They should stress how following conservative principles made them successful. Political parties exist to help elect candidates who can and will defend and advance their platform. The Republican Party platform is conservative. To follow conservative principles includes taking responsibility for your life, becoming a productive member of society, complying with laws, regulations, and rules, limiting immediate pleasures, avoiding vices, getting the best ACT score and GPAs that you can, earning the best/most college degrees, professional certifications, and professional licenses that you can, getting married and having children if you can, getting the fastest/most promotions that you can, saving the most for your retirement, etc. – Dave Diersen

— How much experience do you have working for Democrats? I worked for the Democrats who ran GAO 1980-1997, IRS 1971-1980, and Post Office 1966-1969. My Republican critics/opponents have little or no experience working for Democrats. Because of that, they fail/refuse to see how bad Democrats are. Because I was not a Democrat, minority, female, or veteran, my Democrat superiors wasted my career, took many big adverse actions against me, and forced me to retire when I was 49 in 1997.

— DD: Democrat leaders ever-increasingly promote populism. DD: According to Google AI, the core characteristics of populism are: “The Us vs. Them Framework: Divides society into two antagonistic groups—the morally pure and hard-working people versus a self-interested or corrupt establishment such as politicians, big business, mainstream media, or cultural institutions. Appeal to Popular Sovereignty: Claims to be the sole authentic voice of the true people, asserting that supreme power should rest directly with the masses rather than mediated through complex institutional checks and balances. Anti-Establishment Sentiment: Expresses deep distrust of traditional political parties, expert consensus, and formal bureaucratic or judicial oversight. Charismatic Leadership: Often relies on a central figure who projects a direct, unfiltered bond with the public, frequently bypassing conventional norms or decorum.”

— Mamdani wasn’t on the ballot in the midterms, but his affordability playbook was everywhere. The United States of Mamdani. Life is too expensive. Democrats finally figured out how to talk about it — and they sound a lot like the New York City mayor. DD: What have you done to afford things? I did far more than my peers to afford things. I worked my way through college and I earned a job-related bachelor’s degree when I was 21 in 1970. I worked two jobs 1971-1972. I earned a) job-related master’s degrees in 1976, 1980, and 1997, b) job-related professional certifications in 1979, 1981, 1990, 1994, 1996, and 1997, and c) a job-related professional license in 1981. But according to my critics/opponents, I was able to do the aforesaid only because I avoided the Vietnam War draft, because of my wife’s income, and because we gave up trying to have children.

— Democrats have signaled that they will legally go after Republican staffers following the midterm election. This doesn’t seem to match their rhetoric on affordability. If you believe a senator should never threaten to ruin young Americans for choosing to serve their country, sign the petition at www.Change.org/stopslotkin . DD: To get rid of me, my Democrat IRS superiors a) disallowed my travel vouchers in 1974, b) disallowed my education deductions in 1978, c) ignored/dismissed/belittled my earning an MBA in 1976 and my passing the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, and d) made it clear that they would never promote me to GS-13. That directly resulted in my transferring to GAO.
https://www.dailysignal.com/2026/11/06/is-the-democrats-new-majority-coming-for-young-staffers/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: On Oct. 13, three weeks before the vote, the Michigan Democrat spoke at the University of Chicago’s Institute of Politics about what her party would do with power. I was on campus that day. Her message was aimed at students like me. “I want young people coming out of school to say, ‘Should I go work for the Trump administration?’” she said. She wants them to think, “Lord, that might be buying myself a ton of problems that I don’t want.” And she was clear about the goal: “I want that deterrence message.” Not one of those words is about a crime. None is about catching people who broke the law. They are about graduates who have not even taken a job yet. Her target is the decision to serve. Picture who that is. A 22-year-old young man who grew up watching the news at the kitchen table with his parents. He spent college summers interning for free and sleeping on a friend’s couch. He finally gets the call offering a job answering phones at a federal agency or the White House. The pay is modest, and the hours are long, but he takes it anyway because he loves his country and believes he can help make it better. That is who works in an administration: schedulers, press assistants, and policy analysts in their 20s who are proud just to have a badge and a desk. They took those jobs to carry out the agenda Americans voted for in 2016 and again in 2024. They are not plotting anything illegal; they are trying to do right by the people who sent them there. Slotkin wants that young man to look at the offer and see a threat. Here is what the threat looks like. A congressional subpoena does not come with a public defender. A young staffer who gets one has to hire a lawyer or face Congress alone. Cabinet secretaries and senior officials have the salaries, the connections, and the legal teams to absorb the cost of a subpoena. A low-level staffer with student loans and an entry-level paycheck does not. That is the point. The investigation does not have to find anything. It only has to cost enough to ruin someone. A young man who wanted nothing more than to serve his country starts to wonder if his career is over before it starts. His parents worry about the legal bills. His friends tell him to get out while he can. And the next class of graduates, watching all of it, quietly takes a job somewhere else. Slotkin is describing a plan to bankrupt young conservative people for the crime of public service. On the campaign trail, barely two weeks later, Slotkin was caught on video describing a list of cases Democrats would pursue on every committee, “assuming we win both houses, even if we just win one.” Every committee. That is not a stray comment at a campus event. That is an agenda for an entire congressional majority, and now Democrats have the gavels to carry it out. When the backlash came, Slotkin called it “manufactured outrage.” She has not walked back any of her comments.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: An unprecedented effort to shrink the federal labor force is impeding work at government sites across the country and spawning unintended consequences for services Americans rely on. The U.S. government is America’s largest employer, with 2.4 million civilian workers as of January, excluding the postal service. The Trump administration has started cutting tens of thousands of jobs through a plan encouraged by Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency that aims to reduce the size of government by $1 trillion this fiscal year, roughly 15% of last year’s spending. The goal is to cull a workforce that President Trump has said includes many people who aren’t doing their jobs. Oxford Economics, a data provider and consulting firm, estimates there will be 200,000 fewer federal workers by the end of 2025. In the private sector, employment attorneys say, major companies can spend months analyzing workers’ job performance, position and skills before making big cuts. They enlist senior leaders to recommend which workers to keep, pore over union rules and smooth the process of applying for unemployment benefits for fired workers. Such forethought is key to ensuring the employees who remain can still get the work done, they say. The Trump administration has adhered to few of those norms so far. Managers say essential staff have been cut, and that the administration hasn’t followed detailed rules on how to enact widespread layoffs. Government agencies have granted voluntary buyouts to tens of thousands of people, fired probationary workers—a term for those who were hired or promoted in the past year or two—and are planning for deep reductions in the next few months. So far, many cuts haven’t taken into account workers’ performance or the necessity of their roles.)

— From what I see, punishing Trump was one of the reasons, if not the main reason, why voters voted for Democrat candidates in the November 3, 2026 election or did not vote in the election. If they were all surveyed, what percent would acknowledge that? If they were all surveyed, what would they acknowledge were the things that Trump said and/or did that made them vote for Democrats or to not vote in the election? – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com
(ACCORDING TO GOOGLE AI: Voters backed Democrats in the November 3, 2026, midterm elections primarily due to widespread economic dissatisfaction, severe pushback against President Donald Trump’s administration, and opposition to a conflict with Iran. These factors fueled a “blue wave” that granted Democrats control of both chambers of Congress and several key governorships. Exit polls and national voter surveys highlight three primary drivers behind the electorate’s shift: 1. Cost of Living and Economic Pain. Kitchen-table pressures: Nearly 90% of voters in the CNBC Voter Poll stated that the cost of living was a major or crucial factor in their vote. 2. Direct Repudiation of Donald Trump. Wrong priorities: 62% of voters stated that Trump prioritizes his own personal interests over the country’s, while two-thirds blamed his policies for worse economic conditions. Voters who strongly disapproved of his performance backed Democrats for the House by a staggering 90-percentage-point margin. 3. Opposition to Foreign Conflict and Domestic Agencies. The Iran War: A majority of voters expressed that the administration’s decision to go to war with Iran was the wrong choice. Analysts and political figures compared the severe electoral blowback to the 2006 midterms, when voters soundly rejected Republicans over the Iraq War. Immigration enforcement backlash: Public discontent extended to federal agencies; half of all voters reported that they “strongly disapprove” of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) performance, with 94% of that specific cohort voting Democratic. Consult official election analyses and polling reports for further information regarding voter motivations, perceived economic inequality, and detailed approval ratings during the 2026 midterms.)

DD: To promote diversity is to get rid of those who are the following: conservative, White, male, older, non-poor, Protestant, German American, and/or have ancestors who have been in America for a long time.

POST MILLENNIAL
— DD: To meet their Affirmative Action quotas, goals, and targets, my Democrat Post Office, IRS, and GAO superiors ever-increasingly lowered standards. That ever-increasingly rendered worthless my 1970 job-related bachelor’s degree, my 1976, 1980, and 1997 job-related master’s degrees, c) my 1979, 1981, 1990, 1994, 1996, and 1997 job-related professional certifications, and d) my 1981 job-related professional license. All my coworkers who my Democrat IRS and GAO superiors promoted over me were Democrats a) who had less education than I had, had less work experience than I had, had no professional certification or fewer than I had, and/or had no professional license like the one I had and/or b) who were minority, female, younger than me, and/or veteran.

ABC NEWS
— DD: Democrat leaders ever-increasingly crow about their success in getting young Americans to embrace socialism. They ever-increasingly hint/imply/argue/shout that under socialism, all you need to do to advance is to be a good little socialist just like they have always hinted/ argued/implied/ shouted that all you need to do under Democrats is to be a good little Democrat. While I worked for the Democrats who ran the federal government for almost 30 years, all my coworkers who they promoted over me were good little Democrats a) who had less education than I had, had less work experience than I had, had no professional certification or fewer than I had, and/or had no professional license like the one I had and/or b) who were minority, female, younger than me, veteran, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or had ancestors who had not been in America for a long time.

FINANCE BUZZ
— 10 Things We All Owned 20 Years Ago That Are Now Literal Luxuries. DD: Democrat leaders ever-increasingly blame Republicans for affordability problems. What helped you afford things? When I was young, I spent far less money on immediate pleasures than my peers did. I took jobs that my peers would never stoop to take. I worked my way through college. I earned a job-related bachelor’s degree when I was 21 in 1970. I worked two jobs 1971-1972. I earned a) job-related master’s degrees in 1976, 1980, and 1997, b) job-related professional certifications in 1979, 1981, 1990, 1994, 1996, and 1997, and c) a job-related professional license in 1981. In today’s dollars, that increased my salary from $19.57/hour in 1966, to $100,059/year in 1974, to $113,402 in 1980, and to $154,682/year in 1997. But according to my critics/opponents, I was able to do the aforesaid only because I avoided the Vietnam War draft, because I got married, because of my wife’s income, and because my wife and I gave up trying to have children.

CAMPAIGN LEGAL CENTER
— Civil Service protections. DD: While I worked for the Democrats who ran the federal government for almost 30 years, federal employees who were Republican, and especially those who were the following, did not have Civil Service protections: White, male, older, non-veteran, Protestant, German American, and/or have ancestors who have been in America for a long time. For the Democrats who ran the federal government back then, the federal government existed to hire, retain, and promote Democrats, and especially those who are minority, female, younger, veteran, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or had had ancestors who had not been in America for a long time. It is called patronage, political affiliation discrimination, race and gender based preference giving, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, religious discrimination, and national origin discrimination.

GOVERNMENT EXECUTIVE
— Managers need to pay closer attention to who gets the assignments and experience that make employees competitive for promotion. DD: When I was 25 years old in 1973 and a newly promoted GS-11 (currently $83,482/year) IRS Revenue Officer, my Democrat IRS superiors were furious when my IRS manager (Dave) gave me an assignment instead of giving it to one of my coworkers who were Democrat, minority, female, and/or veteran. I was responsible for IRS answering all the calls that came into its new Centiphone automated answering system in downtown Chicago. I supervised the operation’s entire staff which included 90 rotating IRS Revenue Agent trainees. Because of my job performance, Dave, who had promoted me in 1972 and 1973, promoted me to GS-12 (currently $100,059/year) in 1974. That made my Democrat IRS superiors more furious. According to them, that Centiphone assignment should have been given to a Democrat, minority, female, and/or veteran. They soon got rid of Dave. They disallowed my travel vouchers in 1974. They disallowed my education deductions in 1978. They ignored/dismissed/belittled my earning an MBA in 1976 and my passing the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979. They made it clear that they would never promote me to GS-13. That directly resulted in my transferring to GAO.

SOCIALIST WORKER
— DD: According to socialists, “In the capitalist workplace, our interests, talents and abilities are stunted, distorted and suppressed.” Under Democrats and under RINOs, the interests, talents, and abilities of Republicans are stunted, distorted and suppressed. Working for Democrats and working for RINOs is like working for socialists. I should write a book about how the following have wasted me and have gotten rid of me: a) my Democrat Post Office, IRS, and GAO superiors, b) my Milton Township Republican Organization, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Illinois Republican Party superiors, and c) my Illinois Center Right Coalition and TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois superiors.
