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

— Your attitude toward Charlie Kirk shows your attitude toward conservatives. If I was still the TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois chairman, the organization would host an event honoring Kirk and I would invite all those who knew Kirk to speak at that event. If I was still an Illinois Center Right Coalition officer, I would urge that organization to host a similar event. – Dave Diersen

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. )

— ICE receives more than 150K job applications as Trump’s crackdown on illegal immigration continues. In my defense, I never applied to be an IRS Revenue Officer. IRS offered me that job because I had passed the Federal Service Entrance Examination and I had earned a bachelor’s degree in business. I took that job because I had to have a job. My Firestone Store boss had rudely fired me because I had accepted a job offer from Oldsmobile. But Oldsmobile withdrew that job offer because it had just agreed to store hiring Whites to settle an EEOC complaint. I had to have a job because I was helping support my mother and brother. I should write about my critics/opponents who have used my having been an IRS Revenue Officer for almost 9 years against me the most since 1971.

Since I was 18 years old in 1966, my critics/opponents have always stressed a) that I was 1-A for the Vietnam War draft and b) that I avoided the Vietnam War draft with student draft deferments 1966-1970 and a financial hardship draft deferment 1970-1971. They ignore/dismiss that I could not run because I had a bone disease, that my eyesight could not be corrected to 20/20, and that I had partial red/green color blindness. Worse yet, according to them, my aforesaid health problems prove that I am an unpatriotic hypocritical coward because I would not have been sent into combat. My Democrat Post Office, Firestone Store, IRS, and GAO superiors used my avoiding the Vietnam War draft against me the most. I should write about them. They blamed Republicans for America losing the Vietnam War. Of course, further, they have always stressed that if I had not avoided the Vietnam War draft, I would not have been able to a) earn a bachelor’s degree when I was 21 and master’s degrees when I was 27 and 31, b) buy new cars when I was 19, 20, 23, 25, and 29, c) buy real estate when I was 24, 25, 27, 29, and 35, and d) get married when I was 29.

— Success of Trump’s Agenda Hinges on Whether Unelected Leftist Judges Can Be Stopped From Hijacking the Constitution. As the president’s second term unfolds, many of the Democrats’ cherished totems are either comatose or in their death throes. All the judges and justices in Diersen v. GAO promoted Affirmative Action and DEI, that is, they promoted race and gender based preference giving, patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, religious discrimination, and national origin discrimination. That is why they ruled in GAO’s favor.

— Hegseth shuts down NFL-style ‘crown jewel’ of Army’s merit-based talent programs. The NFL Combine-style programs for evaluating prospective Army commanders started during President Donald Trump’s first term. Starting when I was 25 years old in 1974, because my Democrat IRS superiors had not promoted me to GS-13, currently $117,807/year, they used up-or-out to get rid of me. They would not have done that if I had been a Democrat, minority, female, or veteran. I finally did make GS-13 when I was 38 in 1986, but I would not have if I had not a) earned an MBA in 1976, b) passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, c) transferred to GAO and earned a master’s degree in accounting in 1980, and d) passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt and became a licensed CPA in 1981. I should write about that.

(FROM THE ARTICLE: CAP was a trial for officers seeking to command battalions and brigades, demanding roles that make or break an officer’s career. The cancellation comes as part of a Pentagon review of officer personnel processes ranging from evaluations to promotions and command selection, among other career milestones. . .Participants would complete a physical fitness test, have their body fat measured, undergo a psychological evaluation, receive leadership evaluations from former peers and subordinates, and complete verbal and written communication assessments. An interview panel would anonymously judge the candidate’s communication skills based on their performance in an interview setting. Officers deemed “ready” by the panel would then be ranked for command opportunities based on their CAP performance and a review of their personnel file. . .The program was designed to spot potentially overlooked talent while also preventing toxic and abusive leaders from assuming positions of power.)

— Chicago-area residents celebrate Labor Day 2025 with parades. I have always been big on parades. I attended Bob Doles’ rally after he walked in Wheaton’s Independence Day Parade in 1996. SEE: https://www.nytimes.com/1996/07/05/us/for-dole-upbeat-crowd-on-a-spirited-day.html At the 2000 Illinois Republican Party State Convention in Springfield, I encouraged George Ryan to encourage Bush/Cheney to walk in Wheaton’s 2000 Independence Day Parade. But my attending the Bush/Cheney rally before Naperville’s 2000 Labor Day Parade and my walking in that parade really got me going. SEE: https://www.chicagotribune.com/2000/09/05/no-ordinary-fling-in-naperville/ I ever-increasingly encouraged Republican candidates to walk in Wheaton Independence Day Parades. I served as the Republican fundraiser for Wheaton Independence Day Parades from 2005 until my critics/opponents ended that in 2021.

I delivered newspapers 1962-1966. I washed dishes 1964-1966. I cleaned golf shoes, chipped slag, and pumped gasoline in 1966. I delivered mail 1966-1969. I worked on an automobile assembly line in 1970. My critics/opponents have always used my taking the aforesaid jobs against me. They make it clear that they would never had stooped to take the aforesaid jobs. They hint/imply/argue/shout that my taking the aforesaid jobs proves that I am a loser. I should write about my critics/opponents. I would focus on those whose parents had the most money.

WALLET HUB
— 50% of people don’t think it’s realistic for the average American to expect to retire comfortably. Starting when I was 18 years old in 1966, my critics/opponents have envied my earning credits toward a Civil Service Retirement System pension and the federal government paying 72% of my health insurance and paying 72% of my wife’s health insurance since 1978. Their envy worsened when I became eligible for early retirement and a $25,000 buyout when I was 45 in 1993. Their envy worsened more when I took early retirement when I was 49 in 1997. In my defense, I stress that I worked for the Post Office for almost 3 years, I worked for IRS for almost 9 years, and that I worked for GAO for almost 18 years. I should write about my critics/opponents. I would focus on those a) who have made it clear that they would never stoop to take a federal job and/or b) who lacked qualifications for federal jobs.
https://wallethub.com/blog/retirement-savings-survey/133047
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Retirement doubt. 50% of people don’t think it’s realistic for the average American to expect to retire comfortably. Americans worry about retirement. Nearly 2 in 5 people feel anxious when thinking about retirement. Many people lack a plan. More than 1 in 4 Americans don’t have a retirement plan. Many people may never retire. 43% of people say they expect to work until they die. Debt takes precedence. Most Americans (53%) think paying off debt is more important than making retirement contributions. Dependency risk. More than 1 in 4 Americans are counting on family members to support them financially when they retire.)

— Not College Material. I was not viewed as being college material. 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. My ACT score was only 24. I only just barely made it into the upper 20% of my class. I washed dishes during my junior and senior years and the summer in between.

Because I had to have a job, I accepted a job offer from IRS. I started with almost 3 years of federal seniority and lots of reinstated unused sick leave because I had worked for the Post Office for almost 3 years while I earned my bachelor’s degree.

While I lived in Crete 1948-1972, the best jobs that I could get were a) doing yard work in Crete 1962-1964, b) delivering newspapers in Crete 1962-1966, c) washing dishes in Chicago Heights 1964-1966, d) cleaning golf shoes in Flossmoor and chipping slag and pumping gasoline in South Chicago Heights in 1966, e) delivering mail in Park Forest 1966-1969, f) working on an automobile assembly line in Belvidere in 1970, and e) collecting delinquent federal taxes in in Harvey in 1972. My critics/opponents would never had stooped to take the aforesaid bad jobs and they have always used my taking the aforesaid bad jobs against me.

REAL CLEAR WIRE
— The Democrats’ hackneyed falsehood that Republican gerrymandering in Texas is racist and will end American democracy is not only hysterical – it’s hypocritical. While gerrymandering is ethically impaired, it has been part of U.S. politics for more than 200 years, and a mainstay of Democratic Party election strategy since the 1980s. When redistricting is designed to favor one group over another, it is referred to as gerrymandering. Prior to the 1960s, court challenges to congressional redistricting plans were generally considered to be political questions outside judicial purview. In 1962, however, the Supreme Court held that federal courts could ensure compliance with the constitutional requirement of “one person, one vote” when Tennessee created districts with population variances as large as ten-to-one. Courts also hear challenges to redistricting plans based on claims of racial gerrymandering under the Voting Rights Act of 1965 (VRA), the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment, and the 15th Amendment, and until recently, also claims that a gerrymander was intended to benefit a particular candidate, ideology or party. . .The congressional map drawn by Illinois Democrats after the 2020 census transformed its congressional delegation from 13 Democrats and 5 Republicans to 14 Democrats and just 3 Republicans – in a state where Donald Trump won 44% of the 2024 vote. The respected Gerrymandering Project at Princeton University gave Illinois an “F” for its partisan gerrymander.

— AI is already taking jobs away from entry-level workers. What impacted entry-level jobs when you were in your 20s? For me, it was the Vietnam War draft. Potential employers saw me as being draft bait. They did not believe that my application for a financial hardship draft deferment would be approved. I did not get offers for jobs that required a college degree until after my application was approved and because of my draft number, I was no longer subject to the draft. By then, my career was already behind schedule. To try to catch up, a) I earned an MBA from Loyola when I was 27 and a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul when I was 31, b) I passed the CPA examination when I was 30 and the Certified Internal Auditor examination when I was 32, and c) I became a licensed CPA when I was 32. But by then, it was too late. The federal government uses up-or-out to rid of its employees who are Republican, White, male, and/or non-veteran who do not make GS-13, currently $117,807/year, by age 25. I did not make GS-13 until I was 38.

— President Trump threatens Chris Christie with new ‘Bridgegate’ investigation. My Democrat IRS superiors were furious when GAO ruled in my favor in Diersen v. IRS in 1977. SEE: https://www.gao.gov/products/b-180010.11-0 & https://www.gao.gov/products/b-180010.11 To punish me, they did not promote me beyond GS-12. They disallowed my education deductions in 1978. They ignored/dismissed/belittled my passing the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979. They badmouthed me to GAO when I applied to transfer to GAO in 1980.

— Five ways students can avoid or reduce college debt. Back in the good old days, I was able to work myself through college delivering mail par-time and graduate debt-free from NIU owning a 1969 Dodge Charger SE in 1970. I would not have been able to do that if my parents had not provided me with room and board in their Crete home while took courses at UIC 1966-1968, weekends during my first semester at NIU in 1969, and the summer of 1969.

— FRONT PAGE: Trump’s Next Fight With Universities: Racial ‘Proxies’ in Admissions. Democrats and RINOs use Affirmative Action and DEI to give preference to Democrats and to RINOs, that is, to get rid of Republicans. Because Democrats and RINOs are far more of the following than Republicans, Democrats and RINOs give them preference big time: liberal/moderate, minority, female, younger, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or have ancestors who have not been in America for a long time. I should write about how Democrats and RINOs above me who have given the most preference to those who are the aforesaid since the 1960s.

(FROM THE ARTICLE: In late July, Attorney General Pam Bondi warned in a memo against using “unlawful proxies” for race—such as geography or applicant essays on overcoming hardships—in admissions. Soon after, the U.S. Education Department announced it would require universities to report new data on applicants, broken down by race, to “ensure race-based preferences are not used.”)

— Advocate conservative principles I advocate conservative principles. I advocate the Republican Party platform. My critics/opponents reject some, many, most, virtually all, if not all of the planks in the Republican Party platform. I should write about my critics/opponents and the planks that they reject. Most commonly, they reject 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. I would focus on my critics/opponents who have had their operatives and dupes take the most/biggest adverse actions against me lately.

— Slaves built America. My critics/opponents have always stressed that all my ancestors immigrated during the 1840s and 1850s. In defense of my ancestors, I have always stressed that they always lived in northeast Illinois. That on my father’s side, they worked in a brick factory in Chicago for 10 years before they homesteaded a farm in southeast Crete Township. That on my mother’s side, they sharecropped a farm in Grant Park along the Indiana border before they bought that farm.
