It is called political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination.)

POLITICO ILLINOIS
— Whipping up Illinois Republicans (COMMENT: I used to attend and report on such Republican political events. I should write about the following who have ever-increasingly blamed me and blamed my GOPUSA UILLINOIS newsletters for defeats suffered by Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct since 2000: past and present a) leaders of the Illinois Republican Party, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Milton Township Republican Organization, b) Republican leaders of Illinois, DuPage County, Milton Township, and Wheaton, c) Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct and their political consultants, major donors, fundraisers, pollsters, campaign managers, campaign staff members, and campaign volunteers, d) conservative leaders and activists, and e) religious leaders and activists. I would focus on the aforesaid who have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me.)
https://www.politico.com/newsletters/illinois-playbook/2024/12/09/whipping-up-illinois-republicans-00193243
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Incoming Ohio Republican Sen. Bernie Moreno stopped in Illinois for a Republican holiday gathering and gave some insight about Donald Trump 2.0, immigration and his beef with the Inflation Reduction Act. “We’re going to resolve immigration in the first 40 to 60 days,” Moreno told the Republican-centric crowd over a lunch of chicken Milanese and whipped potatoes at Gibson’s in Oak Brook on Friday. Speaking to the choir: “This election was ultimately about two issues at the end of the day: open borders and high prices,” Moreno told the group. Immigration “is the easiest thing to fix intellectually. It’s the hardest thing to fix emotionally, and I hope to play a role in making that happen.” Moreno will be Ohio’s first Latino senator after ousting Democratic Sen. Sherrod Brown last month in the most expensive Senate race ever at $441 million. The who’s who of Illinois Republicans were in a celebratory mood in spite of their tough spot as the state’s underdog party. The event was hosted by businessman Jay Bergman, Superior Ambulance Service CEO David B. Hill III and Kirkland & Ellis’ Sandy Perl and Richard Porter, who sported “Let’s Go Brandon” socks (a hat tip to the anti-Biden meme), and organized by Victoria Login and Sara Karlovics of LW&Co. The new name in the crowd was Dave Nayak, who earlier this year ran as a Democrat for state Senate and has since pivoted to be a Republican. “Switching parties was an easy decision,” he told your Playbook host. “I’m honored and proud to be part of the Republican Party.” What’s next for Nayak: He hasn’t decided about whether he’s running for office again, but he is co-hosting an event tonight featuring Tom Homan, who’s been picked by Trump as border czar. Republicans don’t hold any statewide office, and they didn’t make headway in state legislative races — though they didn’t lose ground, either. They hope having Republicans in control of Washington will have a trickle-down effect in Illinois in future elections. Moreno’s big win gives them hope. The Ohio Republican was well received, though he did make one comment that fell flat with the crowd. He criticized the Inflation Reduction Act because it gives $7,500 incentives to those who buy electric vehicles. “So Ken Griffin can lease an electric Rolls Royce that costs $600 grand and get $7,500 in tax subsidies. Do you think he needs it?” There was a nervous buzz in the room from the 250-plus crowd that still pines for Griffin, a billionaire who for years opened his wallet to Illinois Republicans before he moved to Florida. SPOTTED: Illinois Republican Chair Kathy Salvi, Former Ambassador Ron Gidwitz, former Congressman Bob Dold, state Sen. Andrew Chesney, former Lt. Gov. Evelyn Sanguinetti, Will County State’s Attorney Jim Glasgow, Sangamon County State’s Attorney John Milhiser, DuPage County State’s Attorney Bob Berlin, former Illinois House Republican Leader Jim Durkin, former Illinois comptroller Leslie Munger, Illinois Chamber Senior Legislative Affairs Adviser Keith Wheeler, Lee County development leader Tom Demmer, Orland Park Mayor Keith Pekau, Will County Board Member Raquel Mitchell, Metra Board Chair Joe McMahon, Palatine Committeeman Aaron del Mar and DuPage County Board candidate Greg Hart. Also in the room: former state lawmakers Jeanne Ives, Jack Schaffer, David Welter, Patricia Bellock, Bob Biggins and Tim Ozinga, former congressional candidates Esther Joy King and Jim Carris, businessman Eli Boufis, attorney Tom DeVore, philanthropist Eleni Bousis, former hospital exec Robert Christie, Strategia Chief Strategy Officer Brian Bernardoni and LW&Co.’s Lisa Wagner.)

— Democrat leaders ever-increasingly promote more illegal immigration.
https://chicago.suntimes.com/immigration/2024/12/07/trump-mass-deportations-immigration-chicago-court-asylum-venezuela-mexico
— Chicago’s ‘do not hire’ policy puts employees at risk for political payback. The current version of the city’s “do not hire” policy can hurt the careers of good employees who are put on the list for political retribution. City Council members are rightly calling for changes to fix that. (COMMENT: Constructively, my Democrat GAO, IRS, and Post Office superiors put me on their do not hire lists with the adverse actions that they took against me. That hurt my career tremendously. Constructively, they rendered worthless a) my bachelor’s degree and my three master’s degrees, b) my six professional certifications, c) my professional license, and d) the experience that I gained working for GAO for almost 18 years and for IRS for almost 9 years. Employers do not want to hire people who were forced into early retirement, who were passed over for promotions, who had always been ranked in the bottom half of their coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes, who had been forced to take a $22,996/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to make an internal transfer, etc.)

He almost always worked second jobs to pay the family’s bills, most commonly, playing music, working in a fast food restaurant, and delivering eggs. He did not buy a new car until he was 45 and it was a bottom of the line 2-door Chevy.)

— In what ways are you a minority? I am a minority in the following political jurisdictions because I voted for Trump: a) my precinct because 478 voted for Harris but only 373 voted for Trump, b) DuPage County because 251,000 voted for Harris and only 191,00 voted for Trump, and c) Illinois because 3 million voted for Harris and only 2.4 million voted for Trump. Further, I am a minority in the following organizations because I am conservative, that is, because I am a platform Republican: Milton Township Republican Organization, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Illinois Republican Party. Further, I am ever-increasingly becoming a minority if not one already because of my demographics: White, male, older, non-poor, Protestant, German American, and my ancestors have been in America for a long time. My critics/opponents ever-increasingly take adverse actions against me to make me leave, but I am not going to leave. I should write about my critics/opponents. – Dave Diersen

CITIZENS AGAINST GOVERNMENT WASTE
— We want your opinion on where President-elect Donald Trump’s new Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) should start slashing wasteful federal spending as it gets up and running. (COMMENT: I hope that DOGE focuses on cutting federal spending that promotes 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 nation origin discrimination.)

The American Accountability Foundation says the ‘woke takeover’ of the military is a major threat to our national security. (COMMENT: While I worked for the Democrats for almost 30 years, because I have always been a Republican, I was always on their lists to be fired. Further, my being the following moved me up on their lists: conservative, White, male, non-veteran, Protestant, German American, and my ancestors have been in America for a long time. The following helped me survive: a) my earning a job-related bachelor’s degree in 1970 and three job-related master’s degrees in 1976, 1980, and 1997, b) my earning six job-related professional certifications in 1979, 1981, 1990, 1994, 1996, and 1997, and c) my earning a job-related professional license in 1981.)

AXIOS DC
— Biden wants to raise the pay of civilian federal employees by an average of 2% — and workers say that ain’t cutting it. Why it matters: The White House’s proposal is much less than the 7.4% pay boost sought by Democrats in Congress. A 2% raise is essentially a pay cut for federal workers. (COMMENT: I worked for the federal government for almost 30 years. My critics/opponents have always demonized me, denigrated me, and condemned me as being grossly overpaid. In my defense, a) I earned a job-related bachelor’s degree in 1970 and three job-related master’s degrees in 1976, 1980, and 1997, b) I earned six job-related professional certifications in 1979, 1981, 1990, 1994, 1996, and 1997, and c) I earned a job-related professional license in 1981.)

— What will your Republican Precinct Committeeman/Captain do to help elect Republican candidates on April 1, 2025? In my DuPage County Milton Township Precinct 59 in Wheaton, I will hand-deliver campaign literature and a marked copy of the sample ballot to its 400 residences that have at least one Republican or Independent voter. Of the precinct’s 1,091 registered voters, 361 are R, 272 are D, and 458 are NA. – Dave Diersen

— Leaders of the Milton Township Democrat Organization stress the qualifications of their township candidates. Since 2000, extremely few of the leaders of the Milton Township Republican Organization have stressed my qualifications. In fact, many if not most, if not virtually all of them have ignored, dismissed, belittled, if not badmouthed my qualifications. I worked for GAO as an Analyst for almost 18 years, the last 11 years of which at the GS-13 Step 1-10 Levels, currently $115,439-$150,075/year. I worked for IRS as a Revenue Officer for almost 9 years, the last 5 1/2 years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 Levels, currently $97,079-$110,020/year. I passed the CPA and Certified Internal Auditor examinations on my first attempt and became a licensed CPA. I have four other job-related professional certifications (fraud examination, government financial management, financial services auditing, and forensic accounting). I have master’s degrees in business, accounting, and finance. – Dave Diersen

Since 2000, my critics/opponents in the Milton Township Republican Organization, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Illinois Republican Party have blamed me and have blamed my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters for losses suffered my Republican candidates on ballots in my DuPage County Milton Township precinct in Wheaton. They hint/imply/argue/shout a) that I paint the candidates in my newsletters as being far more conservative than they are and that causes them to lose elections and b) that I include links to articles in my newsletters that they do not like. I should write about my critics/opponents. I would focus on those who have had their operatives and dupes take the most/biggest adverse actions against me recently. – Dave Diersen

— What adverse actions do your critics/opponents take against you? Mine a) discourage me from sending out GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters and b) discourage everyone from reading my newsletters. They hint/imply/argue/shout at Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct that the more that I do to help elect them, the fewer votes that they will get. If you were me, how would you respond to that? – Dave Diersen

https://thelansingjournal.com/2024/12/02/thornton-township-election-preview-tuesday-is-caucus-day-candidates-so-far/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: In preparation for what could be the most contested Thornton Township election in recent history, major political parties will each hold a caucus Tuesday, Dec. 3, to select candidates for supervisor, clerk, assessor, highway commissioner, and four trustee seats. Voters will go to the polls on April 1, 2025, to make their selections in the Consolidated Election, and the caucuses determine which candidates they will see on their ballots. A source familiar with Thornton Township politics said these are the first caucuses held in many years. . .Residents of Thornton Township may participate in either the Democratic or Republican Party caucuses, nominating a candidate and voting on their party’s nominees. By participating in the caucus, a resident is becoming affiliated with that political party. Caucus proceedings When entering the caucus room, participants will be asked to sign an affidavit stating they are registered to vote in Thornton Township and are affiliated with the established political party conducting the caucus — that they are a registered Democrat or registered Republican. The chair of the proceedings will call the caucus to order. They will introduce the caucus judges of election and announce the offices for which nominees will be selected. Then the chair calls for nominations, which can come from anyone in the caucus. The procedure continues until there are no more nominations. Participants then vote on their preferred nominees. The highest vote-getters in each race are selected as the nominee. Independent and other candidates Candidates running under non-major political parties have already filed their candidacy for Thornton Township, and do not participate in the caucus process. Four Independent Party candidates are looking to unseat Henyard: Nate Fields Jr., LaShunte’ Lollis-Walton, Stafford Owens, and Sidney Moore. Harvey Mayor Chris Clark is also a candidate for supervisor, leading a Reform Thornton Township Party ticket that includes four candidates for trustee: Harvey city administrator Corean Davis, Harvey fifth ward alderperson Dominique Randle-El, Rachel Jones, and Jacinta J. Gholston. Also running for trustee are Democrat Mary Ann Thornton and Independent Felesa Melvin. Running for highway commissioner is Independent Kenny Williams. The township Clerk’s office reported no filings for clerk or assessor. It is not clear whether other incumbents on the Thornton Township Board of Trustees, all Democrats, are seeking nominations to retain their seats.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: In an email, Lauzen wrote that he fired Cain on Friday, Nov. 22. “It is now obvious to me that I made a mistake when I hired her,” Lauzen’s email stated. When there were concerns about her work, he said, he gave her a written six-month performance improvement plan. . .In his email, Lauzen denied saying he had “given up” on her, spoke to her with contempt, and justified that he wanted her log in ID and password because he is “ultimately responsible for everything that occurs in the Treasurer’s Office, both good and bad, I need to know what is going on around me.” As to his lack of computer skills, Lauzen said he depends on his staff and the IT department to assist. “There is no conceit on my part that my data processing skills are in any way exemplary,” Lauzen wrote. “I’m not shy to ask for help.” Lauzen also wrote that the Treasurer’s Office does not have to follow Government Accounting Standard Board rules regarding revenue. It also does not have statutory responsibility or authority to produce or present the county’s financial statements. “The Accounting Department does. Therefore, we have nothing to do with the applicability of any GASB regulations,” Lauzen wrote.)

THE HILL
— Redefining diversity in Trump’s second administration (COMMENT: All my coworkers who my Democrat superiors promoted over me were Democrats 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. They all were minority, female, younger than me, veteran, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or had ancestors who had not been in America for a long time.)
https://thehill.com/opinion/white-house/5012229-trump-dei-merit/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: President-elect Donald Trump’s resounding victory signals a turning point for our nation. As America grapples with the consequences of unchecked diversity, equity and inclusion or DEI policies, the second Trump administration has a clear mandate to restore fairness and meritocracy in employment law. . .At its core, DEI as currently practiced is antithetical to the principles of fairness and equality. Instead of leveling the playing field, it tilts it steeply in favor of select groups, creating a workplace culture where hiring and promotions are often dictated by identity rather than merit. DEI practices, though often cloaked in the language of equity, are nothing more than reverse discrimination, punishing individuals for their race or gender while undermining the very concept of merit-based achievement. . .Second, Trump can promote merit-based hiring and advancement. Meritocracy is the cornerstone of a thriving economy. Employment decisions should be based on skills, qualifications and performance — not identity. The Trump administration must make it clear that federally regulated industries and contractors will face penalties for using quotas or “diversity scorecards” as hiring criteria. Transparency in hiring and promotion processes should also be mandated to ensure fairness. . .America’s workplaces must remain places of opportunity and collaboration, not battlegrounds for ideological warfare. DEI, as it currently stands, has created an environment of division, resentment and legal uncertainty. By focusing on merit, fairness and individual rights, the Trump administration can undo the damage wrought by years of identity politics and restore a culture of excellence and mutual respect.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: The final, official 2024 election returns are in, and boy, are they consistent. When it comes to the last three presidential elections, 2024 doesn’t look much different than 2016 or 2020 in our area. Let’s start with Champaign County, where Donald Trump’s losing percentage — a historically bad one for three consecutive elections — has barely budged. He got 36.52 percent in 2024, 36.92 percent in 2020 and 36.42 percent in 2016. No candidate has done that poorly in the county in a presidential election with just two major candidates since Democrat Adlai Stevenson in 1952 and 1956 (34 and 33 percent, respectively). Poor Jimmy Carter got just 32.2 percent in 1980, but that was also had Illinois congressman and University of Illinois graduate John Anderson running as an independent, and he got 15 percent of the vote here.)

— According to Democrat leaders, a) voters are fully aware of the Democrat Party platform, b) they support it, and c) that is why they vote for Democrat candidates. But how aware are they of the Democrat Party platform? The Democrat Party platform promotes dependency on government and charity, LGBTQ, abortion, mass/illegal immigration, booze, gambling, pot, and other vices, diminishment of Second Amendment rights, Affirmative Action and DEI, that is, race and gender based preference giving, patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, religious discrimination, and nation origin discrimination. The aforesaid promotes poverty and crime. My “Republican” critics/opponents are Democrat Lite, RINO, anti-conservative, if not anti-Republican. They fail/refuse to speak against the Democrat Party platform. They fail/refuse to promote the Republican Party platform. They focus on stopping me from sending out GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters. They focus on stopping everyone from reading my newsletters. They have had their operatives and their dupes take many big adverse actions against me since 2000.

SEE: https://gopillinois.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/DiersenGAOFifthAmendedComplaint.pdf Of course, I got no support for my lawsuit from my critics/opponents. My critics/opponents reject the equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) plank in the Republican Party platform. That is, they promote Affirmative Action and DEI, that is, the promote race and gender based preference giving, patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, religious discrimination, and nation origin discrimination.)

— Never Change Careers Before Answering These 6 Questions First (COMMENT: Of course, I asked myself all these questions before I transferred from IRS to GAO when I was 31 years old in 1980. GAO audits IRS. However, my Democrat GAO superiors did everything that they could to make my transfer a failure. They forced me to take a $22,996/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer. They ignored/dismissed/belittled my knowledge of IRS and that much of what I did at IRS was very similar to what I would do at GAO. They kept me off of audits of IRS for all but 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for GAO. 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 retire when I was 49 years old in 1997. They ignored/dismissed/belittled my earning an MBA in 1976, my passing the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, my earning a master’s degree in accounting in 1980, my passing the Certified Internal Auditor examination and becoming a licensed CPA in 1981, my earning four more job-related professional certifications in 1990, 1994, 1996, and 1997, and my earning a master’s degree in finance in 1997. I should write a book about the aforesaid.)

To initiate a background investigation, your sponsoring agency will ask you to complete one or more of these forms: the Questionnaire for National Security Positions (SF 86) ( https://www.opm.gov/forms/pdf_fill/sf86.pdf ) or the Questionnaire for Public Trust Positions (SF 85P) ( https://www.opm.gov/forms/pdf_fill/sf85p.pdf ), depending on how your position may affect national security and other sensitive matters such as government finance and technology. The government is in the process of consolidating these forms into one Personnel Vetting Questionnaire. It may take weeks to gather your records and complete, and longer if you have significant foreign travel. Get started early!)

— Americans’ top sources of political news (COMMENT: My critics/opponents who have lots of political and/or government clout in Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois paint themselves as being very well informed about political and government and news and commentary of interest to Illinois Republicans. Of course, they would deny that they read my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters. If that is true, on what sources do they rely and why?)

INDEPENDENT
— Black jobs are bad jobs that Whites refuse to take. My critics/opponents have always demonized me, denigrated me, and condemned me for taking bad jobs that they would never stoop to take. I did yard work 1962-1964, delivered newspapers 1962-1966, washed dishes 1964-1966, cleaned golf shoes, chipped slag, and pumped gasoline in 1966, delivered mail 1966-1969, worked on an automobile assembly 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. They have always hinted/implied/argued/shouted that Blacks should have gotten the jobs and promotions that I got. They were especially furious when IRS promoted me instead of Blacks in 1972, 1973, and 1974 and GAO promoted me instead of a Black in 1986. They were overjoyed when GAO forced me to retire in 1997 and gave my job and my preferred corner office to my Black subordinate. I should write a book about the aforesaid.

— Walmart’s DEI rollback signals a profound shift in the wake of Trump’s election victory (COMMENT: If American Presidents had been like Trump when I was young, my Democrat superiors in the federal government would have promoted me into their Senior Executive Service long before I was 40 years old years old notwithstanding a) my not earning an MBA until I was 27, b) my not passing the CPA examination until I was 30, c) my not earning a master’s degree in accounting until I was 31, and d) my not passing the Certified Internal Auditor examination and becoming a licensed CPA util I was 32.)

I did not because my father earned too much money – $50,000/year in today’s dollars. Did you apply for an academic scholarship? I did not because my ACT score was only 24 and I only just barely made it into the upper 20% of my class. Instead, I washed dishes part-time for the S.S. Kresge in Chicago Heights at $12.41/hour in today’s dollars and saved all the money that I could to pay for my college expenses at UIC and for a new 1966 Pontiac Tempest Sprint to commute to/from classes and parents’ home in Crete. Things got better financially when I started working part-time for the Park Forest Post Office in November of 1966 at $18.99/hour in today’s dollars. But my GPA suffered because instead of studying, I worked all the hours that I could delivering mail.)

— Trump wants to cut federal employees. I worked for the Democrats who ran GAO for almost 18 years, IRS almost 9 years, and the Post Office almost 3 years. I was always on my Democrat superiors’ lists of employees who they wanted cut. I was able to survive that long because I earned a) a job-related bachelor’s degree when I was 21, b) job-related master’s degrees when I was 27, 31, and 48, c) job-related professional certifications when I was 29, 32, 41, 45, 47, and 48, and d) a job-related professional license when I was 32. – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com
— How thankful are you? According to my critics/opponents, I have never been thankful enough. They have always attributed all my successes in life to my benefitting from discrimination against those who share their demographics: liberal/moderate, minority, female, younger, LGBTQ, veteran, 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. I should write about my critics/opponents. I would focus on those who have lots of religious, government, political, and/or financial clout in Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois and have their operative and their dupes take many big adverse actions against me. I would focus on those whose parents had lots of money and bought them cars, paid for their college expenses, and got them jobs. – Dave Diersen

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/disgusting-ex-gop-rep-shreds-elon-musk-s-dangerous-attack-on-civil-service/ar-AA1uSZTX
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Former Rep. Joe Walsh (R-IL) slammed tech billionaire and Donald Trump ally Elon Musk for publicly naming examples of government employees he will target for elimination. “Shame on anyone who doesn’t have a problem with the wealthiest man on the planet publicly sharing the individual names of government employees he wants fired,” wrote Walsh, who went from being a Tea Party activist to one of the most outspoken conservative opponents of Trump. “Calling them out by name. Disgusting. Dangerous.” Musk, who helped Trump run critical sections of his campaign in the election and now heads up a MAGA task force on how to cut government spending, made the threats against specific employees earlier this week, according to CNN.)

They ever-increasingly took their anger at Republicans out on me, one of the few Republicans in the agency. I should write a book about that. They forced me to suffer a $22,996 (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO. They delayed my promotions and never promote me beyond GS-13 even though I had earned a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980 and passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination and became a licensed CPA in 1981. They keep me off audits of IRS until 1986 when the GAO manager who had arranged for my transfer was finally able to assign me to audits of IRS and to promote me to GS-13. But in 1987, they forced him to retire, and in 1989, they threw me off audits of IRS forever, gave me an very bad job assignment, gave me very unfair performance expectations, gave me a very unfair performance appraisal, and ranked me at the bottom of my coworkers for pay-for-performance (PFP) purposes. They never again assigned me to audits of IRS, they always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for PFP purposes, and they forced me to retire in 1997 even though I had earned job-related professional certifications in 1990, 1994, 1996, and 1997 and a job-related master’s degree in 1997.)

PSYCHOLOGY TODAY
— How to Be More Thankful (COMMENT: According to my critics/opponents, I have never been thankful enough. They have always attributed all my successes in life to my benefitting from discrimination against those who share their demographics: liberal/moderate, minority, female, younger, LGBTQ, veteran, 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. I should write about my critics/opponents. I would focus on those who have lots of religious, government, political, and/or financial clout in Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois and have had their operatives and dupes take many big adverse actions against me. I would focus on those whose parents had lots of money and bought them cars, paid for their college expenses, and got them jobs.)

— What government policy has negatively impacted you the most? For me, it is Affirmative Action (AA) and DEI. To settle an EEOC complaint, EEOC forced Oldsmobile to withdrew a job offer that I had accepted when I was 22 in 1971. My Democrat superiors in the federal government used AA and DEI along with up-or-out to waste my career and force me to retire 1997. All my coworkers who my Democrat superiors promoted over me were Democrats who were minority and/or female and/or 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. They ignored/dismissed/belittled a) the job-related master’s degrees that I earned in 1976, 1980, and 1997, b) the job-related professional certifications that I earned in 1979, 1981, 1990, 1994, 1996, and 1997, and c) the job-related professional license that I earned in 1981. AA and DEI promoting leaders of the Illinois Republican Party, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Milton Township Republican Organization used AA and DEI to stop me holding any leadership roles in the aforesaid. They have always stressed a) that I am not a minority, female, or veteran, b) that I am old (born in 1948), and c) that I am Protestant, German American, my ancestors have been in America since 1844, Crete resident 1948-1972, and Wheaton resident since 1978. – Dave Diersen

If I had been the aforesaid, they would have promoted me into their Senior Executive Service long before I was 40 years old notwithstanding a) my not earning an MBA until I was 27, b) my not passing the CPA examination until I was 30, c) my not earning a master’s degree in accounting until I was 31, and d) my not passing the Certified Internal Auditor examination and becoming a licensed CPA util I was 32. – Dave Diersen

— According to Democrat and RINO leaders, minorities and females will never succeed in life unless they continue to benefit from Affirmative Action and DEI, that Is, unless they continue to get massive race and gender based preference.

WALL STREET JOURNAL
— IRS Enforcement Money Has Unexpected $20 Billion Hole. Biden administration officials rush to address quirk in congressional funding before they leave office. (COMMENT: Democrats run GAO and IRS and GAO audits IRS. I transferred from IRS to GAO when I was 31 in 1980. My Democrat IRS superiors did not want me to audit IRS because I had learned a lot about IRS having worked for it for almost 9 years, the last 5 1/2 years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 Levels, currently $97,079-$110,020/year in today’s dollars and they had a) disallowed my travel vouchers in 1974, b) disallowed my education deductions in 1978, and c) never promoted me beyond GS-12 even though I had earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976 and had passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979. My Democrat IRS superiors wanted my Democrat GAO superiors to force me to suffer a $22,996 (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer which they did. They wanted them to delay my promotions and never promote me beyond GS-13 which they did even though I had earned a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980 and passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination and became a licensed CPA in 1981. They wanted them to keep me off audits of IRS for as long as possible which they did. However, in 1986, the GAO manager who had arranged for my transfer was finally able to and did assign me to audits of IRS and to promote me to GS-13. But in 1987, they forced him to retire, and in 1989, they threw me off audits of IRS forever, gave me an very bad job assignment, gave me very unfair performance expectations, gave me a very unfair performance appraisal, and ranked me at the bottom of my coworkers for pay-for-performance (PFP) purposes. They never again assigned me to audits of IRS, they always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for PFP purposes, and they forced me to retire in 1997 even though I had earned job-related professional certifications in 1990, 1994, 1996, and 1997 and a job-related master’s degree in 1997. I should write a book about the aforesaid.)

https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/campaigns/3206644/political-affiliation-divided-along-racial-lines-among-churchgoers/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: White Evangelical Protestants are Trump’s largest backers with 81% supporting him, followed by white Catholics, 61%, then white mainline/non-Evangelical Protestants, 60%. Harris’s biggest backers are black Protestants, 83%, religiously unaffiliated people, 70%, and Hispanic Catholics, 61%. While Hispanic Catholics largely support Harris, Hispanic Christians of all types that attend church weekly swing to Trump, with 55% supporting him over 41% supporting Harris. The poll found several areas of overlap between white and Hispanic Protestants, the majority of both support Trump. The exodus of Christian Hispanics away from Catholicism toward Protestantism could help explain Trump’s increasing standing with Hispanics. Half of Hispanics are expected to be Protestant by 2030, a demographic that was once almost uniformly Catholic.)
