— Trump’s inroads in Chicago driven by staggering dropoff in votes for Democrats. Chicago posted its lowest voter turnout for a presidential election in nearly three decades as tens of thousands of Democrats stayed home. (COMMENT: What was the turnout in your precinct? There are 1,073 registered voters in my DuPage County Milton Township Precinct 59 in Wheaton. 890 (83%) voted. 373 voted for Trump and 477 voted for Harris. Between 661 and 425 voted for the other Republican candidates on the ballot. Republican candidates got more votes than the Democrat candidates did in all but 2 (president and one of the judicial races) of the 13 races. I hand-delivered a) a copy of the sample ballot and campaign literature to the 400 residences in my precinct that had at least one Republican or Independent registered voter and then b) a note from the Milton Township Republican Organization (MTRO) to the 24 residences that had at least one registered Republican voter who had not yet returned their mail-in ballot. What information would you like to get from your Republican Precinct Committeeman/Captain? I will be hand-delivering to the aforesaid 400 residences the aforesaid information plus information on the upcoming December 3 MTRO Caucus and the April 1 local election.)

My critics/opponents reject planks in the Republican Party platform, most commonly the 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 destroy those like me who they cannot manipulate or dominate, who refuse to glorify and praise them, who refuse to pander to them, who refuse to serve as one of their operatives or dupes, who refuse to coverup their wrongdoing, and/or who refuse to give them money. I should write about my critics/opponents. I would focus on those who continue to have lots of religious, government, political, and/or financial clout in Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois. I would focus on those who have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me lately.)

— My critics/opponents have always had lots of money. Their parents had lots of money; they bought them cars, paid for their college expenses, and got them jobs. Because of that, they have always been insulated from the negative impacts of the following: dependency on government and charity, LGBTQ, abortion, mass/illegal immigration, booze, gambling, pot, and other vices, diminishment of Second Amendment rights, and Affirmative Action and DEI, that is, race and gender based preference giving, patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, religious discrimination, and national origin discrimination. I should write a book about my critics/opponents. I would focus on those who have personally benefitted the most from Affirmative Action and DEI. I would focus on those who have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me lately. – Dave Diersen

— Given that the federal government has always been run by Democrats who hate Republicans, one could ask why did I became a federal employee. I became a part-time postal employee when I was 18 years old in 1966 because I needed money to pay for my college expenses. I had taken and passed the postal employment examination because my high school friend had suggested that I join him in doing that. I became an IRS employee in 1971 because I needed a job. I had taken and passed the Federal Service Entrance Examination as a fallback if I could not get a good job in the automotive industry. I needed a job because I was helping support my mother and brother because my father had suddenly died. My Firestone Store boss had fired me because I had accepted a job offer from Oldsmobile. But Oldsmobile had withdrawn that offer saying that it had just agreed to stop hiring Whites to settle an EEOC complaint. I became a GAO employee in 1980 because of GAO’s mission and because of its claimed nonpartisanship. I had recently earned an MBA from Loyola and passed the CPA examination on my first attempt. Once you become a federal employee, it is almost impossible to get a good job in the private sector. Private sector employers look down on and have an extremely low opinion of government employees. – Dave Diersen

WASHINGTON TIMES
— Vance defends tattooed Hegseth
https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2024/nov/16/jd-vance-defends-tattooed-pete-hegseth/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: In response, Mr. Vance slammed the outlet for going after the Trump administration’s nominee. “They’re attacking Pete Hegseth for having a Christian motto tattooed on his arm,” he said on X. “This is disgusting anti-Christian bigotry from the AP, and the entire organization should be ashamed of itself.”)
— An official at FBI headquarters in Washington is warning that the bureau’s security clearance division is politicized and can’t be trusted to screen President-elect Donald Trump’s nominees for top administration jobs. (COMMENT: IRS has always been politicized. To get rid of me, the Democrats who ran IRS disallowed my travel vouchers in 1974 and disallowed my education deductions in 1978. They never promoted me beyond GS-12. GAO has always been politicized. To get rid of me, the Democrats who ran GAO forced me to take a $22,996/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980, they delayed my promotions and never promoted me beyond GS-13, they kept off audits of IRS except for 3 years, they always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes, and they forced me to retire when I was 49 in 1997. They would not have done that if I had been a Democrat.)

I should write a book about my critic/opponents. Of course, I would focus on those who have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me lately. Better yet, I should sue them.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Calling others names they do not deserve stems from insecurities, displaced aggression, or the need to dominate and/or control a partner/friend/coworker/etc. Those who do not have much ego strength build themselves up by tearing down innocent others. It’s a maladaptive pattern that could stem from learned behavior—that is, witnessing others do this in childhood. It may also arise from unresolved emotional issues.

https://www.mchenrycountyblog.com/2024/11/15/parties-forego-primary-elections-in-mchenry-township-in-favor-of-caucuses/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Thanks to a bill crafted in 1973 by State Senator Jack Schaffer and myself, township parties in larger townships have the option of selecting their candidates in a party caucus or a party primary. In Algonquin and Nunda Townships, the Republicans have opted for primary elections. In McHenry Township both parties have opted for caucuses to nominate their candidates.)
GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— My critics/opponent despise/hate Trump. They blame Trump for all their problems. From what I see, because Trump won, my critics/opponents are going to take more and bigger adverse actions against me. Since 2016, my critics/opponents have blamed Trump for the defeats that Republican candidates have suffered in Illinois and DuPage County and especially those candidates on the ballot in my precinct. They have painted me as being Trump’s de-facto campaign manager in Illinois, DuPage County, Milton Township, and Wheaton since 2015. In 2015, they gerrymandered my precinct. In 2021 they ended my role as the Republican fundraiser for Wheaton Independence Day parades and fireworks. This year, they removed me from the Illinois Republican Party State Convention Platform and Resolutions Committee. – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com
— What do you owe your successes in life to? According to my critics/opponents, I owe all my successes in life to my benefitting from discrimination against those who do not share my demographics. Those who do not share my demographics are minority, female, younger, LGBTQ, veteran, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or have ancestors who have not been in America for a long time. Those who do not share my demographics are liberal, moderate, Democrat, Libertarian, Green, or RINO. 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. I should write about my critics/opponents. I would focus on those whose parents had lots of money and who bought them cars, paid for their college expenses, and got them jobs. I would focus on those who have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me. – Dave Diersen

— Political parties exist to help elect candidates who can and will defend and advance their platform. The Republican Party platform is conservative. (SEE: https://gop.com/about-our-party/ ) The Republican Party platform promotes prosperity and safety. The Democrat Party platform promotes poverty and crime. Now that Trump has won, the top priority for Republican party leaders, elected officials, candidates, and precinct committeemen/captains in Illinois, in your county, in your township/ward, and in your municipality should be a) countering the tremendous hatred that hate-filled Trump-hating Trump-haters have promoted against Trump and b) promoting the Republican Party platform and that Trump can and will defend and advance that platform. Those who fail/refuse to do the aforesaid should immediately resign. As long as hatred against Trump is not countered, as long as the Republican Party is not promoted, Democrats and RINOs will continue to vote for Democrats. – Dave Diersen

His superiors were furious about that. They soon got rid of him. According to his superiors, he should have given the assignment to one of my coworkers who was Democrat, minority, female, younger, and/or veteran. Unlike my coworkers, I had been taking graduate business courses at Loyola since 1972.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: The email, dated Jan. 14 and sent from a former Washington, D.C., Guard member, included an attachment showing a shirtless Hegseth with a tattoo on his bicep inscribed, “Deus Vult.” A quick google search told Gaither the Latin phrase means “God wills it,” which served as a battle cry for Christians during the Crusades and has become associated with white extremist groups, he told The Wall Street Journal. The pictures also showed that Hegseth has a large Jerusalem cross tattoo. Gaither said he was not concerned about the cross—it was the “Deus Vult” that worried him.)

Because Democrat federal employees who are the following get tremendous preference, they should be very happy: minority, female, younger, LGBTQ, veteran, disabled, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or have ancestors who have not been in America for a long time. The federal government wastes the careers of and gets rid of its employees who are not the aforesaid. The aforesaid is patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, religious discrimination, and national origin discrimination. I should write a book about the aforesaid.)

Just 31% of high schoolers scored proficient in reading on the SAT in 2024. For black students, it was only 12%. And white student proficiency fell a whopping 9.5 percentage points from 2017, to just 42%. Math results for 2024 were even more abysmal, with high school SAT proficiencies hitting post-2017 lows across all major demographics. A mere 7% of black students and just 26% of all students statewide were proficient in math on the SAT.)

— Trump must take action against ‘untouchable’ bureaucrats (COMMENT: A big reason why I transferred from IRS to GAO when I was 31 in 1980 was that GAO claimed to be nonpartisan. I soon learned that claim was patently false. I soon learned that GAO’s Chicago office was run by liberal/nasty/vicious Democrats who hated Republicans and especially hated Republicans who shared my demographics: conservative, White, male, older, non-veteran, Protestant, German American, had ancestors who had been in America for a long time, non-poor, childless, former executive branch employee, former union member, etc. They did everything that they could to waste my career and to get rid of me, but I nevertheless survived for almost 18 years. I would not have survived for that long if I had not a) earned job-related master’s degrees in 1980 (accounting) and in 1997 (finance), b) earned job-related professional certifications in 1981 (internal auditing), 1990 (fraud examination), 1994 (government financial management), 1996 (financial services auditing), and 1997 (forensic accounting), and c) earned a job related professional license (CPA) in 1981.)
https://www.theblaze.com/columns/opinion/trump-must-take-action-against-untouchable-bureaucrats
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The president has the constitutional authority to fire anyone from the executive branch — including ‘independent’ agencies. An estimated 2.2 million civilian federal workers serve at the pleasure of the president, despite only 4,000 being designated as political appointees. Donald Trump’s first priority as he prepares to retake office must be to establish that he can fire any of them. Whether they hold political appointments, Senate-confirmed positions, or civil service roles, all federal employees are subject to the president’s authority to terminate their employment. This includes workers in any department or so-called “independent” agency. If a congressional statute conflicts with his authority to fire someone, that statute is unconstitutional and must yield to the president’s plenary firing authority. Ironically, Trump’s biggest failure in his first term was his reluctance to say his famous line, “You’re fired!” To succeed in a second term, he must remove anyone who does not share his campaign vision. His primary promises are to reduce inflation and eliminate the deep state. Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell is already challenging both promises, presenting Trump with an early test of his resolve.

— I never sought any internships because I had to work my way through college. I delivered mail for the Park Forest Post Office while I was a UIC student 1966-1968 and then a NIU student in 1969. One of my NIU roommates had wealthy parents who got him an internship at a big CPA firm. He got hired by that firm and soon became a partner. I should have majored in accounting. I did not take and pass the CPA examination until I was 29. I did not earn a master’s degree in accounting until I was 30. I did not take and pass the Certified Internal Auditor examination and become a licensed CPA until I was 32. By then, because of my bad demographics, I was viewed as being much too old to have a successful career in accounting.

I organized a major MTRO straw poll later in 2003 that Ryan won. The Illinois GOP Establishment wanted McKenna to win the primary and blamed me for Ryan winning it instead. Previously, the Illinois GOP Establishment blamed me for Jim Ryan’s loss to Blagojevich. Also, later in 2003, and in 2004, I organized Wheaton’s 9/11 ceremonies. I should write about the Illinois GOP Establishment. )

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Americans demanded change last week. Whether they were voting for Trump or against Harris, their rationale didn’t matter. Less government interference won. So did free speech, border control, law and order, and anti-DEI policies. The change that shook the nation was visible even in Illinois, perhaps one of the country’s most hostile media and political environments for Trump. Not only did Trump shrink the Dem margin of victory this year to nine percentage points – from 17 points in 2020 and 25 points in 2008 – he also performed better in both Chicago and the suburbs. Illinoisans’ support for Trump grew even as the media and political attacks on him, led notably by Gov. J.B. Pritzker, increased in intensity. So with 45% of Illinois going for Trump – and Latinos and blacks and virtually every demographic breaking towards him – you would have thought Gov. Pritzker would be chastened, or at least sufficiently introspective enough to temper his comments until the dust settles.)

https://www.politico.com/newsletters/illinois-playbook/2024/10/30/republicans-defend-trump-after-comedians-garbage-joke-00186222
(FROM THE ARTICLE: It’s no wonder Senate Republican Leader John Curran and House Minority Leader Tony McCombie didn’t return requests for comment. The Illinois GOP referred Playbook to the Trump campaign’s statement that the comic’s attempt at humor “does not reflect the views of President Trump or the campaign.” Even state Rep. Dan Caulkins, a member of the conservative Illinois Freedom Caucus, seemed to distance himself from the comment, telling the Tribune, he didn’t think the joke was even funny and that critics should not have taken the joke (calling Puerto Rico a “floating island of garbage”) so literally. Not everyone’s ducking the drama: State Sen. Andrew Chesney said, “If this is the October surprise the Democrats were hoping for, they will be sorely disappointed on Nov. 5.” On the other side: Jim Durkin, the former Republican House leader, called Trump “unhinged” and “a loose cannon” who “should not be serving another term as president of the United States,” according to the Trib. (Easy to say when you’re out of office.) Side note: Illinois Republicans had 52 members in the state House in 2015 when Trump first walked down that escalator announcing he’d run for president. Today, there are 40 Republicans in the House, and the party in Illinois is divided with Maga folks on one side and the rest of the Republicans on the other.)

— Political parties exist to help elect candidates who can/will defend/advance their platform. The Republican Party platform is conservative. What discourages you from helping elect Republican candidates? For me, it is their failure/refusal to promise to defend/advance the Republican Party platform if elected. For me, it is their painting themselves as being Democrat Lite, RINO, anti-conservative, if not anti-Republican. – Dave Diersen

— Why didn’t the Democrats and RINOs who run Illinois, your county, your township, your municipality, and your school district put the following proposition on the ballot in your precinct: Should government do even more to promote more dependency on government and charity, LGBTQ, abortion, mass/illegal immigration, booze, gambling, pot, and other vices, diminishment of Second Amendment rights, and Affirmative Action and DEI, that is, race and gender based preference giving, patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, religious discrimination, and national origin discrimination? – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com
— If you were asked what shows that you are a contributing member of society, what would you say? I would say my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters. But my RINO critics/opponent disagree with that to put it mildly. According to them, my newsletters cause Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct to lose general elections because I paint them as being more conservative than they want to be painted. According to them, to get elected, Republican candidates have be Democrat Lite, RINO, anti-conservative, if not anti-Republican. What do you say to my RINO critics/opponents? Especially, what do you say to my RINO critics/opponents who have taken many big adverse actions against me? – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com
— If you would ask my critics/opponents who manipulates/dominates me, what would they say? The general presumption is that people are manipulated/dominated by those who pay them for what they do. No one pays me for what I do. The general presumption is that if you are a member of an organization, you are manipulated/dominated by the leaders of that organization. While I am a member of the Milton Township Republican Organization (MTRO), its past/present leaders would never claim that they manipulate/dominate me. They would stress the many adverse actions that MTRO has taken against me since 2000. My critics/opponents destroy those like me who they cannot manipulate/dominate, who refuse to glorify and praise them, who refuse to pander to them, who refuse to serve as one of their operatives or dupes, who refuse to cover up their wrongdoing, and/or who refuse to give them money.

In fact, they’ve held their convention at MSG twice. Once in 1924 and once in 1992. 1992… Who was the Democrat nominee in 1992? Oh, yes. It was Bill Clinton. Hillary’s husband was nominated at the Democrat National Convention held at Madison Square Garden. The very same Garden at which Trump is holding his rally on Sunday. The rally that Hillary says is strikingly parallel to the pro-Nazi rally from 1939 which warrants serious discussion. (Need we point out that Hillary, too, was present at the time?) Applying the transitive law of equality to Hillary’s argument, If the Nazis had a rally at MSG and Trump has a rally at MSG, then Trump must be a Nazi. Just like the Democrat party that held a rally at MSG to nominate Hillary to be worst first lady. Of course this is a ridiculous argument. Everybody knows that Trump isn’t a Nazi because he’s holding a rally at MSG. Rather, Trump is a Nazi because he wears a tie. In fact, Trump had a line of men’s ties at one point. I know because I own one.)

BIZ PAC REVIEW
— Harris accused of entering law school under a hardship program she didn’t qualify for (COMMENT: How has Affirmative Action and DEI impacted you? How much money did your parents have? My father never earned more than $50,000/year in today’s dollars. How much education did your parents have? My parents never attended college. My father was only the first of my ancestors to earn a high school diploma. He suffered from brittle type 1 diabetes from childhood. My mother never attended high school. I had to work my way through college.)
https://www.bizpacreview.com/2024/10/22/kamala-harris-accused-of-entering-law-school-under-a-hardship-program-she-didnt-qualify-for-1496829/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Vice President Kamala Harris was reportedly admitted to U.C. Law San Francisco under a hardship program that she allegedly didn’t qualify for. The Legal Education Opportunity Program (LEOP) “offers admission to approximately 50 high-achieving students each year—up to 20 percent of the class—who have experienced major life hurdles, such as educational disadvantage, economic hardship, or disability,” according to a UC Law SF Magazine article published in 2018. The same report lists Harris as part of the school’s ’89 alumni who benefited from LEOP. This, according to critic Laura Powell, a civil liberties attorney, is a big problem given that Harris was anything but disadvantaged. “Kamala Harris’s mother came from the highest caste in India, but by moving to the U.S. and Canada, obtaining a prestigious degree, marrying a future Stanford professor, having a successful career as a cancer researcher, and sending her daughter to private schools, her daughter became unusually disadvantaged?” . . . In another tweet, she offered proof of Harris’ privileged upbringing: A Los Angeles Times article from 2004 in which the current vice president’s mother, Shyamala G., recounted taking offense when some male college official assumed her daughter was from a poor background. “What Shyamala G. Harris understood was that this man assumed her daughter must be an impoverished girl from the rough side of town, not a privileged child of foreign graduate students, whose academic pursuits led them to UC Berkeley,” the Times article reads. Powell also drew attention to something Harris’ mother told a reporter in 2003 about their family’s upper-class status in India. “We are Brahmins, that is the top caste,” she said. “Please do not confuse this with class, which is only about money. For Brahmins, the bloodline is the most important. My family, named Gopalan, goes back more than 1,000 years.” As noted by Powell, “‘high ranking,’ ‘upper class,’ and ‘top caste’ are not phrases you would use to describe the family of someone from an underprivileged background.” As for LEOP, it was, according to Powell, a veritable race-based affirmative action program. “Students who claimed to be eligible for the LEOP because of some special hardship they suffered would have their claims of being disadvantaged verified via a phone call by members of the student organization associated with the applicant’s race,” she tweeted. “The phone interviews were used by some students to screen out conservative candidates—to avoid future ‘Clarence Thomases,’ as one student explained. This would have been the process in place when Kamala Harris applied to law school in 1986. According to her resume, she also served as President of the ‘Black Law Student’s [sic] Association,’ so she likely participated in the process of selecting admittees to the LEOP program while she was a law student as well,” she added. Responding to these findings from Powell, other critics were shocked, outraged, and disgusted.)

https://chicagocitywire.com/stories/665259221-it-s-unfortunate-leading-advocate-for-developmentally-disabled-proft-looks-for-a-new-charity
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The Envision Classic charity golf tournament, scheduled for Sept. 30 at Olympia Fields, was cancelled. Its organizer, radio host and political commentator Dan Proft, was removed last month from the volunteer board of Envision Unlimited, the event’s beneficiary. In its fifth year, Proft said the event was set to raise $600,000-$700,000 for Envision, a leading Chicago non-profit that runs employment programs for intellectually and developmentally-disabled (“IDD”) adults. Envision runs day and employment programming for IDD adults who have aged out of the state system. A longtime public advocate for such IDD programs, and a sharp-tongued critic of state leaders—mostly Democrat— for “funding IDD programs last, when they should be first,” the conservative Proft co-existed for six years on the Envision board amidst Chicago’s left-wing political royalty he often has criticized. Fellow board members included Dan Durbin, nephew of U.S. Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL), and lobbyist Becky Carroll, formerly a top advisor to former President Barack Obama and current Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker. They tolerated Proft as the board’s top fundraiser, responsible for more than $1 million in private donations and in-kind support to Envision since 2018. But that tolerance ran its course. . .Proft said conservatives in Chicago and elsewhere should heed his experience. “I dodged the hangman’s noose for as long as I could but the lesson for conservatives is quite clear: in America at present, particularly where the identitarian Left is dominant as it is in Chicago, it is not worth your time and energy to assist any organization, even a charitable one, dominated by the Left,” Proft said. “Even the Leftists who otherwise want to get past political disagreements to focus on the mission at hand will more likely than not exhibit the cowardice Envision’s board and management did at the first sign of controversy.” “I will not again volunteer for or support any nonprofit than is dominated by men and women of the Left no matter how worthy the cause because, frankly, when the choice is forced by their fellow travelers they will invariably put their politics ahead of the cause,” he said. Proft told Chicago City Wire he has been approached by other IDD-focused charities in Chicago about helping them with fundraising, and that he will soon join one of them, continuing his public advocacy.)

AMAC
— What Do Church Teachings Really Tell Catholics About Immigration Policy
https://amac.us/newsline/society/what-do-church-teachings-really-tell-catholics-about-immigration-policy/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: First, although Church teachings affirm a God-given right to migrate, they do not condone rampant illegal migration without consequence that we are seeing today. A moral distinction exists between legal and illegal immigration. Upholding laws and maintaining order is not contrary to Catholic principles; rather, it reflects a moral obligation to protect communities and ensure justice in society. The reality of immigration currently is that most migrants who come to the United States illegally do not have a legal right to be here and are not fleeing persecution. At least 80 percent do not end up qualifying for asylum or refugee status. Supporting mass deportations is not a rejection of any migrant’s humanity, but a reflection of the importance of the rule of law and the proper order of immigration processes. Second, Church teaching clearly affirms that governments have a right to protect their borders, and scripture obliges us to respect laws that do not directly contravene Biblical teachings.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: The Republican whip who was one of the chief instigators of the disclosures, Representative Newt Gingrich of Georgia, pre-empted the ethics committee disclosures by releasing a statement earlier in the day explaining his 22 overdrafts, including a $9,463 check to the Internal Revenue Service in 1990. “I regret the errors with my checking account and apologize for them,” Mr. Gingrich said. “But one thing I do not apologize for is leading the fight for disclosure of all the names. Last year and last month the Democratic leadership tried to suppress the facts. I fought for disclosure even though I knew I would be opening myself to public embarrassment.” Mr. Gingrich released a letter from his accountant that said that none of the overdrafts were “associated with personal investments or with campaign funding.”)

According to my critics/opponents, I was able to do the aforesaid because I benefitted from discrimination against those who share their demographics (liberal/moderate, Democrat, Libertarian, Green, Independent, RINO, minority, female, younger, veteran, unmarried, LGBTQ, have dependents, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or have ancestors who have not been in America for a long time. In my defense, I stress that 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 I had to work my way through college.

ILLINOIS POLICY INSTITUTE
— UNLOCKING OPPORTUNITY: HOW OCCUPATIONAL LICENSING REFORM WOULD PROMOTE EQUITABLE EMPOWERMENT IN ILLINOIS (COMMENT: Who do you know that has earned a professional license? I became a licensed CPA when I was 32 years old in 1981. Since then, my critics/opponents have ignored, dismissed, if not belittled that. I should write about that. Before I became a licensed CPA, I earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976, I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, I earned a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980, and I passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981. After I became a licensed CPA, I became a Certified Fraud Examiner in 1990, Government Financial Manager in 1994, Financial Services Auditor in 1996, and Forensic Accountant in 1997. I earned a master’s degree in financial markets and trading from IIT in 1997. My critics/opponents have ignored, dismissed, if not belittled the aforesaid.)
https://www.illinoispolicy.org/reports/unlocking-opportunity-how-occupational-licensing-reform-would-promote-equitable-empowerment-in-illinois/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A staggering 24.7% of Illinois’ workforce needs a license to work and another 5% are required to be workforce certified. That’s about 1.6 million Illinoisans who still need the government’s permission to work the job they want and another 326,000 who need certification. While the economic harms of these requirements are substantial and include 135,000 lost jobs and $15.08 billion in misallocated resources, the social harms are far greater. Occupational licensing disproportionately hurts minorities, the poor, women, and young workers most of all. It disproportionately impacts formerly incarcerated individuals trying to reengage with society. It’s radically inequitable. Two major negative consequences result from the state’s harmful occupational licensing laws. First, people who remain in Illinois, especially minorities and the poor, suffer from the unfair burden of occupational licensing. Second, those who can leave the state to seek opportunity elsewhere, do. Tens of thousands of our longtime neighbors leave our communities every year, doing irreparable harm.)

— DEI Captures the Treasury Department. How left-wing racialism is corrupting America’s national financial system. (COMMENT: White I worked for the Democrats who ran IRS 1971-1980, they ever-increasingly used Affirmative Action (AA) and DEI to get rid of their Republican employees. While I worked for the Democrats who GAO 1980-1997, they ever-increasingly used AA and DEI to get rid of their Republican employees.)
https://www.city-journal.org/article/dei-captures-the-treasury-department
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The Treasury Department is ground zero for the Biden administration’s “whole-of-government” DEI agenda. The agency, which serves as the guardian of the American financial system, has translated critical race and gender theories into official policy—all under the guise of “diversity, equity, and inclusion.” We have conducted an exclusive investigation that reveals the stunning capture of the Treasury, which, under the current DEI mandate, has worked to advance the principles of left-wing racialism, directing billions of dollars to favored racial and “underserved” groups, hiring a cadre of radical race “experts” to cement the new orthodoxy within the department, and considering potential auditees’ race in IRS tax investigations. This ideological shift started at the top. In her first months in office, Treasury secretary Janet Yellen sent a statement to the department’s workers that “commitment to the values of diversity, equity, and inclusion is expected of every employee.” She sent the statement on the anniversary of the May 2020 death of George Floyd, at 9:29 a.m., to symbolize the nine minutes and 29 seconds that police officer Derek Chauvin had pinned Floyd to the ground. The statement set the tone: the Treasury secretary had a new ideological agenda—and expected compliance all the way down. To implement this agenda, Yellen quickly built a centralized DEI apparatus within the department, establishing an official Equity Hub, tasked with implementing Biden’s executive orders on diversity, and an Advisory Committee on Racial Equity, made up of activists and executives. She also hired left-wing race activist Janis Bowdler as the department’s first Counselor for Racial Equity, a high-level position “charged with coordinating Treasury’s efforts to advance racial equity including engaging with diverse communities throughout the country.” Yellen and Bowdler wasted no time, working to advance some of Treasury’s most flagrant racial programs, which subordinated lending standards, federal contracting, hiring policy, and even IRS auditing rules to the new racial calculus. The most significant of these initiatives is the agency-wide effort to redirect billions of dollars toward supposedly oppressed racial groups and other “underserved communities.” In 2021, Vice President Kamala Harris and Secretary Yellen jointly announced $8.7 billion in investments to increase lending to “minority-owned businesses,” among other groups. Two years later, the Treasury announced that some 30 private companies were committed to raising $3 billion in deposits for “underserved communities,” to be delivered through community-development financial institutions (CDFIs) and minority depository institutions (MDIs).)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: The notion that many older Americans like landlines may surprise no one. But here are some other, less obvious findings: Landline holdouts are more likely than wireless converts to own a home. They are more likely to live in the Northeast. They are less likely to smoke and less fond of binge drinking. They are more likely to wear seat belts, exercise and carry health insurance.)

— Which plank in the Democrat Party platform has had the biggest adverse impact on you? For me, it is the Affirmative Action (AA) and DEI plank, that is, the race and gender based preference giving plank, that is, the patronage plank, that is, the political affiliation discrimination plank, that is, the reverse discrimination plank, that is, the age discrimination plank, that is, the religious discrimination plank, and that is, the national origin discrimination plank. My Democrat superiors in the federal government used AA and DEI big time to waste my career and to get rid of me. They took many big adverse actions against me that they never would have if I had been a Democrat, minority, female, or veteran. My Democrat Post Office superiors disallowed my sick leave requests and forced me to resign. My Democrat IRS superiors disallowed my travel vouchers and education deductions and never promoted me beyond GS-12. My Democrat GAO superiors forced me to take a $22,996/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO. They gave me bad job assignments and unfair performance expectations and appraisals. They assigned me to supervise their most problematic employees. They delayed my promotions and never promoted me beyond GS-13. They always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes. They forced me to take their early retirement “offer” when I was 49 in 1997. All my coworkers who they promoted over me were Democrats who were minority, female, younger than me, and/or veteran and who 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. My critics/opponents in the Milton Township Republican Organization, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Illinois Republican Party have no problem with aforesaid because they reject the equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) plank in the Republican Party platform. I should write a book about the aforesaid. – Dave Diersen
