— Supreme Court blocks order requiring Trump administration to reinstate thousands of federal workers. After my Democrat GAO superiors forced me to retire, a low level Democrat GAO Personnel Office employee hinted that he might be able to get me reinstated. But my Democrat GAO superiors had made it clear that if did not retire, they would make the next 6 years until I would be eligible for regular retirement a living hell for me. They promised to demote me and to give me adverse transfers, bad job assignments, unfair performance expectations and evaluations, and even worse things. They could easily do that because GAO was not unionized.

They have always hinted/implied/argued/shouted that I must be an extremely bad person because I was forced to retire even though I had so many qualifications. I had worked for GAO for almost 18 years and for IRS for almost 9 years before that. GAO audits IRS. I had earned an MBA in 1976, a master’s degree in accounting in 1980, and a master’s degree in finance in 1997. I had passed on my first attempt the CPA examination in 1979 and the Certified Internal Auditor examination in 1981. I had earned four more job-related professional certifications in 1990, 1994, 1996, and 1997. I had become a licensed CPA in 1981.  My critics/opponents ignore/dismiss/belittle a) the fact that I had been an active member in a class action lawsuit since 1988 that charged my Democrat GAO superiors with reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation, b) the fact that Gingrich had dramatically cut GAO’s budget, and c) the fact that my Democrat GAO superiors gave my job and my preferred corner office to my Black subordinate who had less work experience than I had, had less education than I had, had one professional certification while I had six, had no CPA license like the one I had, and had always ran the office’s Black History Month events. – Dave Diersen

— DuPage Democrats hold ‘Tesla takedown’ rally outside Lisle dealership, protesting Elon Musk’s DOGE. My critics/opponents despise/hate American nameplate cars. I currently own nine. They especially despise/hate Corvettes. I have owned a Corvette since 1971 and two since 2005.

(FROM THE ARTICLE: “I mean, here’s Elon Musk, working for literally nothing, giving up literally billions of dollars for his activism and his patriotism, and all he is doing is saving our country,” said Mark Rice, a Republican who ran in the 2024 election to represent Illinois’ 8th Congressional District. . .Calls for protests and boycotts of Tesla have revved up across the country with reports of vandalism against Tesla vehicles and dealerships. . .The DuPage County GOP chairman released a statement on the protest, saying, “It is ridiculous that the DuPage Democrats are harassing and intimidating a local business that has contributed significantly to the Village of Lisle’s economy. This is why the Democratic Party has the lowest approval ratings that it has had since there has been polling. We are not long removed from violent protests and looting that destroyed businesses across the suburbs. Of late, Tesla locations have been vandalized across America. This thinly veiled attempt by DuPage Democrats to cancel and scare a local business over political differences is repugnant. Americans are done with it and, increasingly, done with the Democratic Party.”)

CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— Pentagon is cutting up to 60,000 civilian jobs. About a third of those took voluntary resignations. During the 1980s and 1990s, because of Republican budget cuts, the Democrats who ran GAO cut 3,000 jobs or half of GAO’s workforce. Even though they focused on cutting their Republican employees who were White, male, older, non-veteran, Protestant, German American, and/or had ancestors who had been in America for a long time, I nevertheless survived until 1997. I would not have survived that long if I had not a) earned job-related master’s degrees in 1997 (finance), 1980 (accounting), and 1976 (business), b) earned 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), and c) earned a job-related professional license in 1981 (CPA).

They worked in a Chicago brick factory until 1854 when they had saved enough money to homestead a farm in southeast Crete Township.

Nevertheless, he believed that was too much to qualify for financial scholarships.

Harvard said students from families making less than $200,000 a year will not be charged for tuition, expanding on a previous decision to make the school completely free, covering tuition, housing and other costs, for those coming from families making less than $100,000 a year.)

— Bloomington Public Schools District 87 staff were directed to participate in “Privilege Walks” in which teachers start on a line and take a step forward for each “privilege” they identify with, like being white, a male, having married parents, etc.  Illinois state Rep. Regan Deering, R-Decatur, anticipates DEI “privilege walks” will likely continue despite Trump’s executive orders banning these types of programs in the public sector. (COMMENT: From the beginning, according to my critics/opponents, I owe all my successes in life to my benefitting from discrimination against those who share their demographics. My critics/opponents are liberal/moderate, non-Republican, RINO, minority, female, younger, LGBTQ, unmarried, veteran, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or have ancestors who have not been in America for a long time. But in fact, I owe my successes in life a) to my parents, b) to my Missouri Synod Lutheran grade school teachers, and c) to my following the conservative principles that they taught me.)

https://www.msn.com/en-us/movies/reviews/slanted-review-extreme-makeover-satire-critiques-lopsided-beauty-standards-through-asian-eyes/ar-AA1AXixe
(FROM THE ARTICLE: From the moment 8-year-old Joan arrives in the U.S. (played by Kristen Cui at that point), she’s confronted with signs of what the locals consider to be desirable: billboards with blond, bikini-clad models; Norman Rockwell-like propaganda art on the classroom walls; and a freckle-faced bully who makes fun of her eyes. Flash-forward nine years, and Joan (now played by a grad school-aged actor) is bleaching her hair and doctoring her selfies with the Ethnos app (designed to make people of color look white). It feels edgy to call out such self-effacing, approval-chasing behavior at a time when appearance-altering practices are widespread, and potentially controversial to suggest that what Joan wants most is to be white.)

https://www.thefp.com/p/jb-pritzker-dei-donald-trump-pritzker-family-foundation-website
(FROM THE ARTICLE: According to a Free Press review of internet archive records, Pritzker’s own family nonprofit appears to have scrubbed a slew of DEI language from its website on March 11. The Pritzker Family Foundation eliminated the phrase justice and equity from its mission statement and jettisoned the word inequities to describe its focus on social justice. The group also removed the word equitable from the statement that said the group had a “deep desire to create more just and equitable outcomes.” And the foundation removed an entire sentence from its website that read: “Learn more about our ongoing efforts to apply a lens of Justice, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (JEDI) to our grantmaking here,” which linked to a downloadable foundation document detailing its “ongoing journey” to embrace DEI. This document can no longer be found on the foundation’s site, but was located by The Free Press on the internet archive.)

SEE: https://gopillinois.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/DiersenGAOFifthAmendedComplaint.pdf  They made it clear to me that if I did not take their “offer,” they would make my next 6 years until I would be eligible for regular retirement a living hell for me. The least of which they would do would be to demote me and to give me adverse transfers. Previously, they had always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance, delayed my promotions and never promoted me beyond GS-13, kept me off audits of IRS for all but 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for them, and forced to take a $23,472/year (21%) pay cut to transfer from IRS.

— Federal agencies are under a Thursday deadline to turn over plans to the Office of Personnel Management on how they plan to reduce the size of their respective agencies, including through reductions in workforce.  A federal judge ruled Thursday that thousands of probationary employees who were abruptly terminated last month must be re-instated. (COMMENT: Democrats run GAO. I have saved voluminous records of what my Democrat GAO superiors did to deal with Gingrich budget cuts 1980-1997. They used Gingrich’s budget cuts along with Affirmative Action, DEI, up-or-out, subjectivity in their personnel systems, etc. to get rid of their Republican employees like me who were conservative, White, male, older, non-veteran, Protestant, and/or had ancestors who had been in America for a long time. I would not have survived for almost 18 years if I had not a) earned job-related master’s degrees in 1976, 1980, and 1997, b) earned job-related professional certifications in 1979, 1981, 1990, 1994, 1996, and 1997, c) earn a job-related professional license in 1981.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: To JB Pritzker: Please reply to this email with approx. 5 bullets of what you accomplished last week and cc your manager, the people of Illinois. Failure to respond will be taken as a resignation. Sincerely, The Illinois Republican Party  P.S. We’re pretty sure you aren’t going to respond, so here are some suggestions: Compared Republicans to Nazis – A desperate, disgusting attack to distract from his own failures. Classy. Went on MSNBC for a Love Fest – Instead of working for Illinois families, he spent his time trying to impress liberal elites. Pushed More Tax Hikes – Because clearly, Illinois families and businesses just aren’t paying enough already. Doubled Down on Sanctuary Policies – Inviting even more illegal immigrants to Illinois while ignoring the financial and safety crisis it creates. Continued Pretending to Be President – Instead of fixing Illinois, he’s out there demanding that Trump and Congress listen to him. Delusional. Meanwhile, Illinois Republicans are focused on REAL solutions: Fighting for lower taxes and economic growth, Protecting our communities from crime and lawlessness, Standing with President Trump to secure our borders, Stopping Pritzker’s radical policies before they do even more damage)

WASHINGTON POST
— Democrat leaders say “Judges order Trump officials to offer jobs back to thousands of fired workers.” (COMMENT: If you were forced to retire early, would you take a reinstatement offer?  After my Democrat GAO superiors forced me to retire when I was 49 years old in 1997, a low-level employee in GAO’s personnel office hinted verbally that he might be able to get me reinstated. I asked that he put the terms in writing, but he never did. To force me to retire, my Democrat GAO superiors made it clear to me that if I did not, they would make my next 6 years until I would be eligible for regular retirement a living hell for me. According to them, they would demote me, give me adverse transfers, give me bad job assignments, give me unfair performance expectations and appraisals, and even worse things. Previously, they had always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes, delayed my promotions and never promoted me beyond GS-13, kept me off audits of IRS for all but 3 years, and forced me to take a $23,472/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer to GAO from IRS when I was 31 years old in 1980. Previously, they had focused on making all my superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates despise me, if not hate me. They stressed that I was conservative, Republican, White, male, older, draft-avoider, Protestant, German American, my ancestors had been in America since 1844, a Crete resident 1948-1972, a Wheaton resident since 1978, and an IRS employee 1971-1980. They stressed that my wife had a good job, that we had no children or other dependents, that we had a home built in Wheaton in 1984, that we had no debts, that we owned two collector cars, etc. If GAO had been unionized, my GAO superiors would not have been able to take the aforesaid adverse actions against me that they did.)

They use up-or-out and the subjectivity in their personnel policies. They ever-increasingly lower hiring, retention, and promotions standards.)

GAO
— 1996 FLASHBACK: DEMOCRAT LEADERS SAY: GAO’s DOWNSIZING EFFORTS (COMMENT: I worked for the Democrats who ran GAO 1980-1997. Gingrich cut GAO’s budget 15 percent in 1996 and 10 percent in 1997.)
https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-T-OCG-96-4/pdf/GAOREPORTS-T-OCG-96-4.pdf )
(FROM THE REPORT: Last year, the Congress directed a 25 percent reduction in our funding—15 percent to be accomplished in fiscal year 1996 and an additional 10 percent in fiscal year 1997. Because nearly 80 percent of our budget pays for salaries and personnel-related costs, we reached the unavoidable conclusion that the agency could not absorb these reductions without significantly downsizing our workforce. In response to this budget situation, the Comptroller General established a team of senior level managers to assess the impact of the funding reductions and develop a plan for achieving these reductions. In July 1995, the Comptroller General approved the team’s plan to reduce GAO’s workforce by about 850 employees over 14 months. Under the plan, GAO’s workforce would be reduced to about 3,500 by the beginning of fiscal year 1997. The goal of the plan was to achieve large reductions in a way that would avoid major disruptions in our workplace, while leaving us with the skills required to carry out our mission and maintain current production levels.)

CENTRAL ILLINOIS PROUD
— Democrat leaders say that a new IRS program, Direct File, makes tax filing free and more efficient, but that Musk and DOGE may get rid of it anyway. (COMMENT: If you are a federal employee, and especially if you are an IRS employee, unofficially, if not officially, IRS audits all your returns. I was a federal employee 1966-1969 and 1971-1997 and I was an IRS employee 1971-1980. I started deducting my graduate business and accounting courses in 1972 and IRS had no problems with those deductions. But notwithstanding that, to get rid of me because I had complained about their political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination, my Democrat IRS superiors disallowed my education deductions in 1978. They outrageously, disgustingly, and falsely argued that the courses I deducted did not relate to my job duties, did not help maintain or improve my job skills, were taken by me to get a job in the private sector, and qualified me for a new trade or business. They ignored my IRS position descriptions, my graduate school applications, and that my IRS employee manual encouraged me to take those courses. The aforesaid is a big example of how the Democrats who run the federal government can and do use IRS to harm Republicans.)

I get a Civil Service Retirement System (CSRS) pension. According to my critics/opponents, it is much too sweet. But I paid 7% of my federal salary into CSRS for almost 30 years. Because my Democrat superiors wasted my career and forced me to retire when I was 49 years old in 1997, into today’s dollars, my CSRS pension is only 44% of what my salary was in 1997 and less than what my salary was in 1972.)
