CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— Don’t lower the bar for Illinois students. All during the almost 30 years that I worked for the Democrats who ran the federal government, they lowered the bar to hire, retain, and promote Democrats, and especially Democrats who were minority, female, younger, veteran, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or had ancestors who had not been in America for a long time. That ever-increasingly rendered worthless my job-related bachelor’s degree, three master’s degrees, six professional certifications, and professional license.

Further, the Democrat Party has decided that to win elections, it will ever-increasingly replace those in America who are conservative, Republican, American, White, male, older, heterosexual, married, non-poor, Protestant, German American, and/or have ancestors who have been in America for a long time with those who are liberal, Democrat, citizen of a foreign country, minority, female, younger, LGBTQ, unmarried, poor, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or have ancestors who have not been in America for a long time.

— Overpaid? Did you read Money Magazine ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Money_(financial_website) )? If you read its February 1978 4-page article on me ( https://gopillinois.com/documents/ ), you would have concluded that the magazine did not pick me for the article to give me financial advice, but a) to foist negative government employee stereotypes on me, b) to paint me as being grossly overpaid, and c) to get IRS to disallow my education deductions. The article caused me many big problems, not the least of which was IRS’s disallowing my education deductions. Ever since the article was published, my critics/opponents have demonized me, denigrated me, and condemned me as being grossly overpaid. In February of 1978, I had worked for IRS for almost 7 years. I had been promoted in 1972, 1973, and 1974. In today’s dollars, my salary was $108,978/year. I had earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976. I was taking graduate accounting courses at DePaul. I owned a one bedroom condo in the Outer Drive East building. I had rented out a town home in University Park since 1976 that I had bought new in 1972. I owned a 1972 Corvette that I bought new in 1971. My daily driver was a 1962 Chevrolet Bel Air.

https://patch.com/illinois/wheaton/best-golf-course-il-golf-digest-says
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Golf Digest deploys 1,700 professionally trained low-handicap golfers to continually assess the golf courses. The rankings are based on more than 80,000 evaluations over 10 years looking at criteria such as short options, challenge, design variety, conditioning, aesthetics, and character. Established in 1892, Chicago Golf Club stands out as one of five golf clubs that founded the United States Golf Association in 1894, its website states. Its original location at Belmont Golf Club in Downers Grove made history in 1893 as the first 18-hole golf course in the United States. In 1894, the club moved to its current home in Wheaton on Warrenville Road. Chicago Golf Club was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2020. There are plenty of other courses in Illinois that prioritize the aesthetics of their fairways and greens and test the golfers who play on them with a variety of challenges. . .Wheaton’s Cantigny Golf came in at #35 on Golf Digest’s new list.)

— Supreme Court rules unanimously in favor of straight Ohio woman who claimed discrimination. Ohio employee’s victory eliminates higher standard of proof for majority groups in discrimination cases. The judges and justices in Diersen v. GAO held me to a higher standard of proof because I was a White male who charged his Democrat GAO superiors with reverse discrimination. While I worked for GAO, the majority of its employees were White males, but I doubt that they are now. While I worked for the Democrats who ran the federal government for almost 30 years, they always had quotas, goals, and targets for LGBTQers, but they were unofficial. They always met those quotas, goals, and targets. Of course, that meant getting rid of their employees like me who did not promote LGBTQ.

— The Age Issue: More of Congress Is 70-Plus Than Ever Before. How old are you? I am 76. Democrat and RINO leaders use age discrimination to get rid of Republicans. I have ever-increasingly fought age discrimination since I was 25 years old in 1974 when my Democrat IRS superiors started using up-or-out against me. They deemed me too be old to be promoted to GS-13. To fight that, I earned an MBA in 1976. I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979. I transferred to GAO in 1980. I earned a master’s degree in accounting in 1980. I passed the Certified Internal Auditor Examination on my first attempt in 1981. I became a licensed CPA in 1981. I earned more professional certifications in 1990, 1994, 1996, and 1997. I earned a master’s degree in finance in 1997. I should write a book about age discrimination.

I took and passed tests including the postal employment test in 1966 and the Federal Service Entrance Examination in 1970. I earned a high school diploma in 1966, a job-related bachelor’s degree in 1970, job-related master’s degrees in 1976, 1980, and 1997, job-related professional certifications in 1979, 1981, 1990, 1994, 1996, and 1997, and a job-related professional license in 1981. But I did much more than that to get and keep jobs. I took jobs that my peers considered to be bad jobs that they would never stoop to take. I 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 gasoline 1971-1972, collected delinquent taxes 1971-1980, and audited federal agencies 1980-1997.

I would focus on how they have ever-increasingly dumped me since 1999.

— Russia Targets Child-Free Lifestyles. I should write what my Democrat GAO superiors did to punish me because my wife and I gave up trying to have children without trying IVF. According to them, if my wife and I had children, a) I would not have been able to pass the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, earn a master’s degree in accounting in 1980, pass the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981, become a licensed CPA in 1981, etc. and b) my wife would not have been able to keep her good job and earn a bachelor’s degree in finance in 1986. All my GAO superiors had children and spouses who had little or no income. They always decried the time and money needed to raise children. None of them had as many master’s degrees or professional certifications as I did. None of them were a licensed CPA like I was.

SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE
— Bill would allow slavery legacy to be factor in college admissions. According to Democrat leaders, if you are White Republican, the longer that your ancestors have been in America, the more that you have benefitted from slavery, and therefore, the more reparations that you should pay. All my ancestors immigrated during the 1840s and 1850s. In my defense, they always lived in northeast Illinois and they were always Republicans. They never were in a position to discriminate against anyone and they never did. Those whose ancestors were Democrats have benefitted most from slavery, and therefore, they should pay the most reparations.

— As Trump targets foreign enrollment, IIT could be hardest hit. I took graduate evening courses and earned a master’s degree in financial markets and trading from IIT in 1997. I did that because my Democrat GAO superiors had made it clear that they would never again assign me to audits of IRS again in 1989, because they had assigned me to audits of federal financial institution regulators since 1990, because I had not taken many courses in finance, and because my supervisor wanted/demanded that her subordinates have master’s degrees in finance.

While I worked for the Democrats who ran GAO 1980-1997, Tip O’Neill was the Speaker of the House 1980-1987 and then Jim Wright 1987-1989 and then Tom Foley 1989-1995 and then Newt Gingrich 1995-1997. Gingrich was the Speaker while my lawsuit was pending against GAO in in 1998 and 1999 and then Dennis Hastert 1999-2005. Johnson was President while I worked for the Democrats who ran the Post Office 1966-1969 and then Nixon in 1969. Nixon was President while I worked for the Democrats who ran IRS 1971-1974 and then Ford 1974-1977 and then Carter 1977-1980. Carter was President while I worked for the Democrats who ran GAO in 1980 and 1981 and then Reagan 1981-1989 and then Bush 1989-1993 and then Clinton 1993-1997. Henry Hyde was my Congressman 1978-2007. Peter Fitzgerald was my U.S. Senator 1999-2005. I should write about how each of the aforesaid impacted my career. My Democrat superiors took their biggest adverse actions against me in 1968, 1969, 1974, 1978, 1980, 1989, and 1997-2005. I would focus on Hyde, Gingrich, Fitzgerald, and Hastert. – Dave Diersen

— Trump expands list of targets for his ire. Every time the Democrats who ran GAO assigned a new manager to run their Chicago office 1980-1997, they gave that manager a list of employees to get rid of. Of course, I was on all those lists along with the office’s employees who were conservative, Republican, White, male, older, non-veteran, Protestant, German American, and/or had ancestors who had been in America for a long time. I would not have survived until 1997 if I had not a) earned a master’s degree in accounting in 1980, b) passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981, c) became a licensed CPA in 1981, d) earned four more job-related professional certifications in 1990, 1994, 1996, and 1997, and e) earned a master’s degree in finance in 1997.

(FROM THE ARTICLE: In the first exercise, soldiers are required to deadlift the maximum weight possible three times, using a 60-pound hex bar and plates. Then, they must complete as many hand-release push-ups as possible in two minutes, completely lowering the body to the ground and extending the arms to the side before starting the next push-up. For the sprint-drag-carry exercise, they must perform 5 x 50-meter shuttles as quickly as possible with a 2 x 40-pound kettlebell and a 90-pound sled. Soldiers must then hold the plank position for as long as possible to assess muscular endurance, before finishing off with a two-mile run on a “generally flat outdoor course.”)

My critics/opponents have always viciously demonized, denigrated me, and condemned me as being grossly overpaid. In today’s dollars, my GAO salary increased from $117,807/year in 1986 to $153,151/year in 1997. In my defense, I earned a) job-related professional certifications in 1997 (forensic accounting), 1996 (financial services auditing), 1994 (government financial management), 1990 (fraud examination), 1981 (internal auditing), and 1979 (accounting), b) job-related master’s degrees in 1997 (finance), 1980 (accounting), 1976 (business), and 1970 (management), and c) a job-related professional license in 1981 (CPA).
https://www.dailyherald.com/20250525/us-congress-politics/few-suburban-congressional-candidates-met-financial-disclosure-deadline/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Only three of the more than two dozen candidates for congressional seats serving the North, West or Northwest suburbs turned in federal financial disclosure reports by a May 15 deadline, a Daily Herald analysis revealed. One, 9th District Democratic hopeful and internet personality Kat Abughazaleh, is a political newcomer whose campaign has received national media attention. The other two — Republicans Niki Conforti of the 6th District and Jim Marter of the 14th — are campaign veterans who lost previous bids for federal office. Designed to reveal potential conflicts of interest, the disclosure reports detail information about the source, type and amount of a candidate’s income, personal investments, spousal income, gifts, contracts and more. They’re published online at disclosures-clerk.house.gov. . .A Glen Ellyn resident, Conforti is making her third run at the 6th District seat held by Democrat Sean Casten of Downers Grove since 2019. Last November, Casten beat Conforti by 8 percentage points; she placed third in the 2022 GOP primary. Conforti spent less than $151,000 on her 2024 campaign, a sum dwarfed by the roughly $2.4 million Casten spent. The Conforti campaign ended the first quarter of this year with less than $9,800 in the bank. Casten ended the quarter with more than $947,000 saved. Conforti reported income this year and last from consulting and from an unidentified employer. She didn’t respond to emails asking for more information about that job. She listed bank, credit union and retirement accounts among her assets, and reported a partnership in a Palos Park limited liability company called Existential Matrix. . .An Oswego resident whose four-year term on his local library board ends this week, Marter will make his sixth bid for federal office in 2026. Democratic incumbent Lauren Underwood of Naperville, who’s represented the 14th District since 2019 and is running again, beat Marter by 10 percentage points in November. Marter spent $322,950 on his 2024 congressional campaign, a fraction of the nearly $3.9 million Team Underwood spent. His campaign ended the first quarter with about $5,500 saved, while Underwood ended the quarter with $1.1 million banked. According to his report, Marter’s primary source of income is a global information technology company called Tenthpin Management Consultants. He previously had been a software consultant. Marter reported bank and retirement accounts, life insurance policies and a coin collection among his assets.)

My critics/opponents have always hinted/implied/argued/shouted that Illinois Center Right Coalition (ICRC) and TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois were extremist groups. I was an ICRC Steering Committee member 2003-2007 and I was the TAPROOT chairman 2005-2012. 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 had their operatives and their dupes take the biggest adverse actions against me lately.

(FROM THE ARTICLE: The SPLC put out an article on Thursday, labeling TPUSA as an “anti-government extremist group” for its supposed promotion of white nationalist conspiracy theories, hawkish immigration stance, and Christian nationalism — which has become one of the left’s favorite buzzwords over recent years. Of course, when the organization uses the term “extremist,” they really mean, “anyone who isn’t a progressive.”)

— Pope Leo XIV declares ‘I am Roman!’ as he completes formalities to become bishop of Rome. What if you had never left your hometown? I left my hometown of Crete for University Park when I was 24 years old in 1972. I left University Park for Chicago in 1976. I left Chicago for Wheaton when I got married in 1978. The Democrats and RINO who run Wheaton have never accepted me. They continue to treat me as my being a newcomer. They stress that I never attended any schools or churches in Wheaton, that I never sent any children to Wheaton schools, etc. I am too conservative for them, that is, I am too Republican for them. I should write about the biggest adverse actions that they have taken against me. I would focus on those who despise/hate my demographics the most.

— Trump wants a ‘baby boom,’ but an ultra-conservative agenda may hurt IVF access. I should write what my Democrat GAO superiors did to punish me because my wife and I gave up trying to have children without trying IVF. According to them, if my wife and I had children, a) I would not have been able to pass the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, earn a master’s degree in accounting in 1980, pass the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981, become a licensed CPA in 1981, etc. and b) my wife would not have been able to keep her good job and earn a bachelor’s degree in finance in 1986. All my GAO superiors had children and spouses who had little or no income. They always decried the time and money needed to raise children.

While I was a federal employee, I refused to become a Democrat, I complained about political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination, and I became an active member in a class action lawsuit that charged my superiors with reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation. Since I became Wheaton resident in 1978, I successfully fought the installation of a traffic signal at Harrison and President, I filled lawsuits against Wheaton, its powerful developer, Milton Township, and DuPage County, and I successfully led efforts to stop video gambling and the sale of pot. Since I have been a Milton Township Republican Precinct Committeeman since 1999, I have sent out GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters since 2000, I led Pat O’Malley’s 2002 Republican gubernatorial campaign in Milton Township, I served as an Illinois Center Right Coalition Steering Committee member 2003-2007, I served as the TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois chairman 2005-2012, and I served as the Republican fundraiser for Wheaton Independence Day parades and fireworks 2005-2020.

That stopped IRS from promoting be beyond GS-12 and stopped GAO from promoting me beyond GS-13.

I was under the radar at IRS until I was 25 years old in 1973 and my IRS manager gave me a big high-profile developmental assignment and promoted me to GS-12 (currently $99,069/year) because of my performance on it. Because of the aforesaid, my Democrat IRS superiors got rid of him and a) disallowed my travel vouchers in 1974, b) ignored/dismissed/belittled my earning an MBA in 1976, c) disallowed my education deductions in 1978, c) ignored/dismissed/belittled my passing the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, d) ignored/dismissed/belittled my earning a master’s degree in accounting in 1980, and e) ever-increasingly made it clear that they would never promote me to GS-13. According to them, that development assignment should have been given to a Democrat who was a minority, female, younger, and/or veteran. I got the assignment because of my job performance and because I was taking graduate evening business courses. The aforesaid and Money Magazine’s 4-page February 1978 article on me drew attention to the fact that I was conservative, Republican, a Vietnam War draft avoider, Protestant, German American, my ancestors had been in America since 1844, and I had been a Crete resident 1948-1972.

The Democrats who ran GAO in 1980, IRS in 1971, and the Post Office in 1966 hired me because they could not find a qualified Democrat, minority, female, younger person, or veteran who would take the job. They gambled and lost that I would become a Democrat and promote their discriminatory employment practices. They took many big adverse actions against me because I opposed their discriminatory employment practices. I should write about that. I would focus on the tremendous preference that they forced me to give, and that I did give, my Democrat subordinates who were minority, female, younger, and/or veteran.

— When were you under the radar? I was under the radar at IRS until I was 25 years old in 1973 and my IRS manager gave me a big high-profile developmental assignment and promoted me to GS-12 (currently $99,069/year) because of my performance on it. Because of the aforesaid, my Democrat IRS superiors got rid of him and a) disallowed my travel vouchers in 1974, b) ignored/dismissed/belittled my earning an MBA in 1976, c) disallowed my education deductions in 1978, c) ignored/dismissed/belittled my passing the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, d) ignored/dismissed/belittled my earning a master’s degree in accounting in 1980, and e) ever-increasingly made it clear that they would never promote me to GS-13. According to them, that development assignment should have been given to a Democrat who was a minority, female, younger, and/or veteran. I got the assignment because of my job performance and because I was taking graduate evening business courses. The aforesaid and Money Magazine’s 4-page February 1978 article on me drew attention to the fact that I was conservative, Republican, a Vietnam War draft avoider, Protestant, German American, my ancestors had been in America since 1844, and I had been a Crete resident 1948-1972. I should write about the aforesaid.

For me, in today’s dollars, they include a) $86,371/year ($2.4 million so far) since 1997 when my Democrat GAO superiors forced me to retire ($153,151/year salary minus $66,780/year Civil Service Retirement System pension), b) $23,472/year in 1980 when my Democrat IRS and GAO superiors forced me to take that pay cut to transfer from IRS to GAO, c) about $55,000/year in 1971 when my Firestone Store boss fired me, and d) $20.67/hour in 1969 when my Democrat Post Office superiors forced me to resign. I should write a book about the aforesaid adverse actions. They would not have happened if I had been a Democrat, minority, female, or veteran.

They forced me to retire when I was 49 years old in 1997 and gave him my job and my preferred corner office. He had less work experience than I had. He had less education than I had. He had one professional certification while I had six. He had no professional license like the one I had.

— Why do people get involved in Republican politics? For far too many, it is to get the Republican Party to strike 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 in its platform. I promote the aforesaid planks. I should write about those Republican candidates, elected officials, party leaders, activists, major donors, fundraisers, pollsters, etc. in Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois a) who reject one or more of the aforesaid planks and b) who have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me lately. I would focus on those who reject the equal opportunity plank. – Dave Diersen

According to them, I can and should pay more taxes a) because I avoided the Vietnam War draft, b) because I worked for IRS for almost 9 years, and c) because my wife and I gave up trying to have children. I should write about my critics/opponents. I would focus on those whose parents were wealthy and who bought them cars, paid for their colleges expenses, got them jobs, etc. I would focus on those who benefitted the most from Affirmative Action and/or DEI, that is, who benefitted the most from race and/or gender based preference giving. – Dave Diersen

They blamed Nixon, and therefore Republicans, for America losing the Vietnam War. They punished me, a draft avoider, to punish Nixon. My Democrat Post Office superiors disallowed my sick leave request and forced me to resign in 1969. My Democrat IRS superiors disallowed my travel vouchers in 1974, they disallowed my education deductions in 1978, and they made it clear that they would never promote me to GS-13. They did the aforesaid even though a) I earned an MBA in 1976, b) I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, and c) I earned a master’s degree in accounting in 1980. – Dave Diersen

My critics/opponents ignore/dismiss/belittle the fact a) that my superiors were always under tremendous pressure from Democrat politicians to give preference to their employees who were Democrat, minority, female, younger, and/or veteran, b) that I avoided the Vietnam War draft, c) that I complained about political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination, and d) that I became an active member in a class action lawsuit that charged my superiors with reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation when I was 40. – Dave Diersen

Mine include a) Vietnam War draft avoiders, b) federal employees who never made GS-14, c) employees who complained about political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and/or age discrimination, d) lawsuit filers, and e) employees who were forced to retire early.

WALL STREET JOURNAL
— The GAO Tries to Save a Bad Biden Rule. It bows to Democrats and ignores its own clear precedent. GAO is run by Democrats. When I was 31 years old in 1980, I was one of the last Republicans GAO hired. They gambled and lost that I would become a Democrat. They did everything that they could to waste my career and to get rid of me. They forced me to take a $23,472/year (21%) pay cut to transfer from IRS. They delayed my promotions and never promoted me beyond GS-13. They kept me off audits of IRS for all but 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for them. They always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes. They forced me to retire when I was 49 years old in 1997.

Reports suggest that Qatar may be gifting former U.S. President Donald Trump a $400 million luxury jet—raising serious questions about ethics, influence, and international diplomacy.

NPR
— Trump is looking to use the IRS for his own political ends. Nixon tried it, too. Nixon was president while I worked for the Democrats a) who ran the Post Office in 1969 and b) who ran IRS 1971-1974. They despised/hated Nixon. They blamed Nixon for America’s losing the Vietnam War. They punished me, a draft avoider, to punish Nixon. My Democrat Post Office superiors disallowed my sick leave request and forced me to resign in 1969. My Democrat IRS superiors disallowed my travel vouchers in 1974, they disallowed my education deductions in 1978, and they made it clear that they would never promote me to GS-13. They did the aforesaid even though a) I earned an MBA in 1976, b) I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, and c) I earned a master’s degree in accounting in 1980.
