— Six questions Gov. Pritzker should have been asked during his testimony on Illinois’ sanctuary status
https://wirepoints.org/six-questions-gov-pritzker-should-have-been-asked-during-his-testimony-on-illinois-sanctuary-status-wirepoints/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: 1. How do you justify spending more than $1.5 billion of Illinois taxpayers’ dollars on healthcare for illegal immigrants when Chicago has the highest black poverty rate in the country among the nation’s biggest cities? . . . 2. How do you justify spending hundreds of millions, if not billions, on illegal, non-English-speaking children at Chicago Public Schools when the school district is already junk-rated, faces a billion-dollar deficit and has just 21% of black students able to read at grade level? . . . 3. How can you justify allowing illegals with violent criminal histories to come to our state when Chicago has led the country in total murders for 13 years in a row and had the highest murder rate among the nation’s 20 biggest cities in 2024? . . . 4. How do you justify the billions spent on illegal migrants when Illinoisans already pay the nation’s highest property taxes, the 2nd-highest gas taxes and the highest cell phone taxes. Kiplinger ranks Illinois third in the nation in its list of “least tax-friendly states for middle-class families.” . . . 5. How do you justify burdening Chicagoans with the billions in costs of caring for illegal migrants when the Chicago area is already struggling to grow its economy? The metro area’s real GDP has only grown 4% since you took office, the worst among the nation’s 15 biggest metro areas. . . 6. How do you justify allowing in tens of thousands of illegal migrants who will struggle to find work when Illinois’ unemployment rate was the nation’s 4th-highest in 2024 and Chicago’s black community is struggling with an unemployment rate of 12.3% – the highest among the nation’s 15 biggest cities?)

— Democrat and RINO leaders ever-increasingly stress that Americans ever-increasingly fail/refuse to take bad jobs. 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, etc. My critics/opponents did not have to take bad jobs. Their parents bought them cars, paid for their college expenses, and got them jobs. The bad jobs that I had enabled me to a) buy a 1958 Chevrolet Bel Air in 1964, b) buy a new 1966 Pontiac Tempest Sprint in 1966, c) pay for my UIC expenses 1966-1968, d) buy a new 1968 Oldsmobile 442 in 1967, e) buy new 1969 Dodge Charger SE in 1968, f) pay for my NIU expenses 1969-1970, etc. – Dave Diersen

— What did you do to qualify yourself for better paying jobs? I earned a job-related bachelor’s degree from NIU when I was 21 in 1970. I earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976. I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979. I earned a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980. I passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981. I became a licensed CPA in 1981. I earned four more job-related professional certifications in 1990, 1994, 1996, and 1997. I earned a master’s degree in financial markets and trading from IIT in 1997. – Dave Diersen

— Who did you have to compete against to get hired and promoted? I did not have to compete directly against illegals. But because of political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, religious discrimination, and national origin discrimination, I had to compete directly against Democrats, minorities, females, younger people, veterans, non-Protestants, non-German Americans, and those whose ancestors had not been in America for a long time. All my coworkers who were promoted over me were many, most, if not virtually all of the aforesaid.

Since 2015, they have demonized me, denigrated me, and condemned me as being a Trump supporter. They had their operatives and their dupes a) gerrymander my precinct in 2015, b) end my role as the Republican fundraiser for Wheaton Independence Day parades and fireworks in 2021, and c) end my membership on the Illinois Republican Party Platform and Resolutions Committee in 2024. They have ever-increasingly discouraged everyone from reading my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters. Of course, they stress that I share so many demographics with Trump: conservative, Republican, White, male, older, married, non-poor, draft avoider, Protestant, German American, and our ancestors have been in America for a long time. – Dave Diersen

— According to Democrat and RINO leaders, if those who are conservative, Republican, White, male, older, non-poor, non-veteran, Protestant, German American, and/or have ancestors who have been in America for a long time do better than those who are not the aforesaid, it is because they have benefitted from discrimination against those who are not the aforesaid. I passed both the CPA and Certified Internal Auditor examinations on my first attempt. Only about 20% who take the examinations can say that. In my defense, those who took the examinations with me shared many if not most of my demographics.

My eyesight could not be corrected to 20/20. I had partial red/green color blindness. I washed dishes during my junior and senior years and the summer in between. But nevertheless, I took college preparatory courses, got an ACT score of 24, graduated in the upper 20% of my class, and got accepted by UIC. That enabled me to earn a bachelor’s degree, three master’s degrees, six professional certifications, and a professional license.

https://thenewamerican.com/us/crime/homan-l-a-rioters-disrupted-arrest-of-illegals-linked-to-cartel-activity-sex-fiends-murderer-arrested/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Pro-illegal-alien rioters in Los Angeles, California, didn’t attack Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and other federal agents because they were deporting a poor, helpless “migrant” dad just trying to earn a living to support his family. Rather, border czar Tom Homan told NewsNation’s Chris Cuomo, they attacked when agents raided a business that imported almost $100 million in goods and didn’t pay import tariffs. And that business, he said, is linked to south-of-the-border terror-gang cartels. Agents arrested not only more than three dozen illegals, but also several dangerous illegal-alien criminals, including a Filipino child rapist and a Vietnamese double murderer. The “protesters” tried to block ICE from arresting those thugs and goons. So the anarchists and communists sided with a murderer and other illegal-alien criminals.)

— David Walker, former U.S. Comptroller General: Choosing the next comptroller general is too important — don’t play politics. Walker could have settled Diersen v. GAO ( https://gopillinois.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/DiersenGAOFifthAmendedComplaint.pdf ), but he did not. By not settling my lawsuit, he promoted patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, religious discrimination, and national origin discrimination in GAO. The Democrats who ran GAO wasted my career and forced me to retire when I was 49 years old in 1997. They flushed down their toilets what I had learned a) working for GAO for almost 18 years, b) working for IRS for almost 9 years, c) passing the CPA and Certified Internal Auditor examinations on my first attempt, d) earning four other job-related professional certifications, and e) earning a job related bachelor’s degree and three job-related master’s degrees. Democrats do not want Republicans to fight government waste. GAO is just a shell of what it once was. Gingrich gutted GAO during the 1980s and 1990s. If Gingrich had reformed GAO instead of gutting it, there would be no need for DOGE. Charles Bowsher ran GAO 1981-1996. I should write about how Gingrich and Bowsher gutted GAO. Under Gingrich and Bowsher, the agency dumped half its employees. Overwhelming, those dumped employees were Republican, White, male, older, and/or non-veteran. If Gingrich and Bowsher had reformed GAO instead of gutting it, there would be no need for DOGE. The Democrats who have ran IRS and GAO since 1980 did not want me to fight government waste. GAO audits IRS. GAO is supposed to fight government waste. But to waste me, they forced me to take a $23,472/year (21%) pay cut to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980.

https://www.aol.com/opinion-choosing-next-comptroller-general-133000971.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Fortunately, the Comptroller General of the United States, who serves as the CEO of the GAO and the nation’s top accountability professional, can only be removed by impeachment or joint resolution of Congress signed by the president. In addition, removal can only be achieved for specified reasons. This is fully appropriate, since the comptroller general and the GAO must be independent from the executive branch in both form and substance. There have only been eight comptroller generals since the GAO’s creation in 1921, and I served in the position from 1998 to 2008. The comptroller general must be highly qualified in terms of credentials and experience. He or she must be able to act in a manner that is professional, objective, fact-based, nonpartisan, nonideological, nonpersonal, fair and balanced. This is critical for both the comptroller general and the GAO to be effective and respected. It is also important that the comptroller general receive strong bipartisan support. The last three comptroller generals were confirmed by the Senate via unanimous consent. Hopefully, the next comptroller general will be as well. The current comptroller general is Gene Dodaro, whose term is set to end on Dec. 22, 2025. Gene is very capable — I appointed him as acting comptroller general, but it took over two-and-a-half years for him to be nominated and confirmed. Congress needs to act much faster in filling the position this time. Given the importance of the position, the comptroller general appointment process may be the most complex in the federal government. It starts with a 10-member bipartisan and bicameral commission in Congress that must recommend at least three candidates. The president then nominates a candidate who must be confirmed by the Senate. Any nominee could be filibustered if he or she is not deemed to be a proper fit for the position. The statutory commission is not formally established until the comptroller general position is vacant, but a significant amount of planning and preparation should happen before the official vacancy occurs. This includes conducting outreach efforts to appropriate professional and government organizations to identify potential candidates and preparing screening questionnaires and interview questions. Importantly, since the comptroller general is a legislative branch officer who must be independent, Congress needs to consider eliminating the president from the process. Congress should also consider reducing the appointment term to 10 years. These changes would require legislation. While DOGE has achieved a modest amount of savings and a reduction in the size of the federal workforce, it also caused also considerable disruption, and much work remains to be done. The GAO and inspectors general need to be on the front lines of this effort. These accountability organizations cannot be fully effective without confirmed leaders. Congress and the president need to take steps to fill these important accountability leadership positions in a timely manner. This should be a good government and bipartisan effort.)

— DOGE tried to embed in GAO. Experts say it should have asked GAO for help instead. Gingrich gutted GAO during the 1980s and 1990s. If Gingrich had reformed GAO instead of gutting it, there would be no need for DOGE. Charles Bowsher ran GAO 1981-1996. I should write about how Gingrich and Bowsher gutted GAO. Under Gingrich and Bowsher, the agency dumped half its employees. Overwhelming, those dumped employees were Republican, White, male, older, and/or non-veteran. If Gingrich and Bowsher had reformed GAO instead of gutting it, there would be no need for DOGE.

— Chicago minimum wage set to increase July 1. Did you ever work for the minimum wage? I did 1964-1966 washing dishes in Chicago Heights while I was a junior and a senior at Crete-Monee High School. With the money that I earned, I bought a new 1966 Pontiac Tempest Sprint, a poor man’s GTO, in May of 1966, and I used it to get to/from my parents’ home in Crete and summer jobs and then classes at UIC and my part-time Park Forest Post Office job. When you were in high school, did your classmates work part-time during the school year and/or full-time during the summers in between like I did? Few of my high school classmates did. There were few good jobs available. I worked far too many hours washing dishes instead of studying. Nevertheless, I took college preparatory classes, I got an ACT score of 24, I got into the upper 20% of my class, and UIC accepted me.

— When you were in high school, were you viewed as being college material? I was not. But nevertheless, I took college preparatory courses, got an ACT score of 24, and made it into the upper 20% of my class. My father frequently decried his not having a college degree. What if you had not earned a college degree? If I had not earned a bachelor’s degree in management in 1970, a) Firestone Stores would not have hired me in 1970, b) Oldsmobile would not have offered me a job in 1971, and c) IRS would not have hired me in 1971. If I had not earned a master’s degree in business in 1976 and in accounting in 1980, GAO would not have hired me in 1980. Further, IRS would not have promoted me in 1972, 1973, and 1974 if I had not been taking graduate evening business courses. Further, GAO would not have promoted me in 1986 if I had not a) passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, b) passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981, and c) became a licensed CPA in 1981. Further, the Post Office would not have hired me if I had not passed the postal employment test in 1966 and IRS would not have hired me if I had not passed the Federal Service Entrance Examination in 1970.

— Career counseling is very important. My not majoring in accounting at UIC 1966-1968 and at NIU 1969-1970 was a very big career mistake. I erroneously thought that I could not pass the CPA examination. I did not start taking graduate accounting courses until I was 27. I did not take and pass the CPA examination on my first attempt until I was 30. I did not earn a master’s degree in accounting until I was 31. I did not take and pass the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt until I was 32. I did not become a licensed CPA until I was 32. By then, the accounting profession saw me as being far too old to have a successful career in accounting. The accounting profession would not have done that if I had been a minority, female, or veteran. – Dave Diersen

— Trump issues ‘loyalty test’ to prioritize ‘patriotic Americans’ for federal positions. Virtually all federal employees are Democrats. Democrats run the federal government. For them the federal government exists to hire, retain, and promote Democrats. They demand that federal employees put advancing the Democrat Party platform above all else, that is, that they focus on promoting patronage, race and gender based preference giving, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, religious discrimination, and national origin discrimination. Because I refused to do the aforesaid, they wasted my career and forced me to retire when I was 49 years old in 1997. In 1980, I was one of the last Republicans GAO hired.

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/trump-issues-loyalty-test-to-prioritize-patriotic-americans-for-federal-positions/ar-AA1FWpbs
(FROM THE ARTICLE: U.S. President Donald Trump is reportedly putting “America First” even within his own administration. As the president continues to slash the federal workforce, he and his team have reportedly unveiled a new plan to ensure that any new hires are “patriotic Americans” who vow to advance the president’s policy priorities. The White House, in coordination with the Office of Personnel Management, released the directives for the departments to use when recruiting employees in a memo on Thursday. The directives represent a dramatic shift in hiring procedures at the federal level. POLITICO reported that prospective federal employees will now be required to write a short essay about how they plan to advance Trump’s priorities when applying for a job. The new procedure comes after Trump and many of his allies have railed against civil servants and accused them of trying to undermine Trump’s plans. It was also reported that those federal job vacancy announcements starting at a GS-5 pay grade or above will now have to complete the short essay responses to questions about their commitment to the Constitution, how they plan to improve government efficiency, how they plan to advance Trump’s executive orders and policy priorities, and about their work ethic. . .According to the Trump plan, federal employee hiring has focused too much on “elite universities and credentials.” The memo dictates that the government will target recruits from “state and land-grant universities, religious colleges and universities, community colleges, high schools, trade and technical schools, homeschooling groups, faith-based groups, American Legion, 4-H youth programs, and the military, veterans, and law enforcement communities.” The memo also states that agency heads are to “cease using statistics on race, sex, ethnicity or national origin, or the broader concept of ‘underrepresentation’ of certain groups” when deciding hiring or promotions. It also orders agencies to stop disseminating information about the composition of agencies’ workers based on their race, sex, color, religion, or national origin. Trump’s hiring plan also allegedly aims to expedite the hiring process in response to the order directing government-wide hiring to be completed within 80 days. Additionally, on Thursday, the administration issued a memo outlining new guidelines for hiring and talent development plans for leaders within the federal government’s career employee ranks, known as the Senior Executive Service (SES). During his first days back in the Oval Office, Trump issued a memo saying that because those officials “wield significant governmental authority, they must serve at the pleasure of the President.” The most recent memo now criticizes SES hiring as a “broken, insular” process that has “resulted in the hiring of executives who engage in unauthorized disclosure of Executive Branch deliberations, violate the constitutional rights of Americans, refuse to implement policy priorities, or perform their duties inefficiently or negligently.” Prior to the memo, it was claimed the qualifications for SES hiring “included unlawful ‘diversity, equity and inclusion’ (DEI) criteria for hiring Federal executives.” Trump’s memo stated that they were eliminating DEI factors in the hiring process and would instead focus on candidates’ efficiency, merit, competence, ability to lead, and ability to achieve results. To sustain the quick 80-day turnaround, the memo claims that OPM will provide an 80-hour intensive “fee-based aspiring executive development program” that’s “grounded in the Constitution, laws, and Founding ideals of our government, and will provide training on President Trump’s Executive Orders.” The program is “designed to equip aspiring leaders with the skills, knowledge, technical expertise, and strategic mindset necessary to excel in senior leadership roles.”)

— Critics/opponents of the 2025 Dodge Charger Daytona R/T claim victory. I just bought a 2025 Dodge Charger Daytona R/T. Its base price is $59,595. The base price for the Scat Pack model is $73,985. The Scat Pack does the quarter mile one second faster, but both models are doing 135 MPH at the end. I also own a 2013 Charger R/T Max. I owned a 1968 Charger R/T show car 1994-2005 and a 1969 Charger SE 1968-1971. I worked on the Chrysler assembly line in Belvidere in 1970.
https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/cars/2025/05/18/dodge-cuts-electric-charger-daytona/83710636007/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Dodge is pulling the plug, so to speak, on its base model electric Charger Daytona, the R/T, as it deals with slow sales, but don’t expect what appears to be a limited-edition run of vehicles to turn into collector’s items, according to a key industry watcher. “Rarity does not make a collectible. You need to have demand for it,” said Sam Fiorani, vice president of global vehicle forecasting for AutoForecast Solutions. “You can’t presume that this will be a Charger Daytona of 1970. They couldn’t sell those originally and years later, they were collectible.” Fiorani said it’s risky to bet on a car of today becoming something that brings big dollars in the years to come, even when the numbers of those made and sold are relatively small. Still, Dodge will continue to offer the more powerful and expensive electric Charger Daytona Scat Pack for the upcoming model year, even as it prepares to launch several gas-powered versions. While it’s not clear how many Dodge Charger Daytonas will be produced this year, so far, the sales picture is showing a fairly light impact. Electric Charger sales – the company did not distinguish between versions – for the first three months of this year were at 1,947. Granted, they were just beginning to arrive in showrooms in January after months of delays. However, the automaker likely had higher hopes. Fiorani noted that he’d recently driven by a Dodge dealership and saw a row of Chargers waiting to be sold. In a statement, Dodge CEO Matt McAlear said, “Production of the Dodge Charger Daytona R/T is postponed for the 2026 model year as we continue to assess the effects of U.S. tariff policies. The Charger’s flexible, multi-energy STLA Large platform allows us to focus on the Charger Daytona Scat Pack’s performance as the world’s quickest and most powerful muscle car, add the new four-door model to the Charger mix for the 2026 model year and lean into the new Charger SIXPACK models that will launch in the second half of the year.” Sixpack refers to the engine, the inline-six Hurricane, which will come in 550-horsepower or 420-horsepower variants. The electric Scat Pack promises a peak power base of 630 horsepower with a limited push-button burst to 670 horsepower called the Power Shot. The Dodge website lists the Scat Pack all-wheel drive with a starting price of $73,985, excluding destination charge. Adding gas-powered versions to the lineup is not a surprise, as Dodge had previously said that was the plan. However, the decision, reported earlier by MoparInsiders.com, to end the electric R/T’s run so soon does highlight how the market has changed, both in terms of the slower adoption of electric vehicles and President Donald Trump’s embrace of tariffs. The Charger Daytona is assembled at the Windsor Assembly Plant in Ontario, but the batteries initially were to come from South Korea. Fiorani offered some perspective on the potential tariff impact, however. “Everybody is leaning on tariffs for every change in production or sales, whether real or not,” he said. Market realities are, however, what they are. “The idea that an internal combustion engine version would hit the market better at the moment is a strong one,” according to Fiorani. “Buyers haven’t warmed up to EVs as a performance vehicle yet, especially since every EV is a performance model now.” Fiorani also noted that the company’s planned shift in production volume toward the gas-powered Charger would also take the focus off the less expensive EV version – the R/T was listed with a starting price of $59,595, not counting destination. “(They) kind of want to focus on the vehicle that will make money versus the entry-level models that will sell on price,” Fiorani said.)

I worked on the Chrysler assembly line in Belvidere in 1970.
https://moparinsiders.com/stellantis-hq-gets-patriotic-makeover-for-americas-250th-birthday/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: If you’ve driven past the Chrysler Technical Center (CTC) in Auburn Hills, Michigan lately, you probably noticed something big—literally. Stellantis just unveiled a huge new building wrap on its North American headquarters, and it’s all about celebrating America’s 250th birthday. The 15-story tower now proudly wears a red, white, and blue America 250-themed wrap, complete with the newest Dodge and Chrysler logos, along with bold nods to Jeep® and Ram. It’s part of a new yearlong partnership between Stellantis and America 250, the official group in charge of organizing the country’s semi-quincentennial celebration. This isn’t just some casual ad either. The new wrap covers the entire face of the tower and can be seen from a long stretch of I-75, where over 200,000 vehicles pass by each day. It’s designed to grab attention—and it does. The message is clear: Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep®, and Ram are proud to be American-born brands and even prouder to help lead the charge into the country’s 250th year of independence. It’s also a return to tradition. Before the merger that created Stellantis, the Chrysler Group was known for frequently updating the tower with new wraps that showcased their latest vehicles or milestones. Over the past couple of years, though, those updates slowed down. In fact, the last wrap—a Jeep® Wagoneer S promotion—was installed back in June 2024. Before that, the building went nearly a year without one. But now, the tower is back to doing what it does best—making a bold statement. The wrap doesn’t just show off new logos; it tells a story. A story about American innovation, independence, and the four powerhouse brands that have become part of the country’s automotive legacy. For car lovers, history buffs, and everyone in between, this wrap is a reminder that Stellantis’ U.S. brands still take pride in their heritage—and they’re more than ready to celebrate the red, white, and blue.)

— According to Trump’s critics/opponents, Trump is motivated by revenge. GAO audits IRS.

— 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. 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 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. – Dave Diersen

I had audited SEC and other federal financial industry regulators for the previous 8 years at the GS-13 Step 4-10 Levels, currently $129,588-$153,151/year. I had just earned a master’s degree in financial markets and trading from IIT. For that matter, IRS would have immediately offered me a job. I had audited IRS’s Criminal Investigation Division for 3 years at the GS-13 Step 1-3 Levels, currently $117,807-$125,675/year. I had worked for IRS for almost 9 years, the last 5 1/2 years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 Levels, currently $99,069-$112.280/year.

Here’s who they are and what they’re studying. Democrat leaders ever-increasingly give preference to Chinese students, that is, they ever-increasingly discriminate against American students.

BARRON’S
— A recently retired SEC attorney demonizes, denigrates, and condemns Trump. When GAO forced me to retire when I was 49 years old in 1997, if I had been a Democrat, minority, female, younger, or veteran, SEC would have immediately offered me a job. I had audited SEC and other federal financial industry regulators for the previous 8 years at the GS-13 Step 4-10 Levels, currently $129,588-$153,151/year. I had just earned a master’s degree in financial markets and trading from IIT. For that matter, IRS would have immediately offered me a job. I had audited IRS’s Criminal Investigation Division for 3 years at the GS-13 Step 1-3 Levels, currently $117,807-$125,675/year. I had worked for IRS for almost 9 years, the last 5 1/2 years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 Levels, currently $99,069-$112.280/year. I became a Certified Forensic Accountant in 1997, Financial Services Auditor in 1996, Government Financial Manager in 1994, Fraud Examiner in 1990, Internal Auditor in 1981, and Public Accountant in 1979. I became a licensed CPA in 1981. I earned a master’s degree in accounting in 1980 and in business in 1976.

ACCOUNTING TODAY
— DEI enters stealth mode; building the business case for DEI in accounting firms. The accounting profession would not have written me off as being too old if I had been a minority or a female. I did not start taking graduate accounting courses until I was 27. I did not pass the CPA examination on my first attempt until I was 30. I did not earn a master’s degree in accounting until I was 31. I did not pass the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt until I was 32. I did not become a licensed CPA until I was 32.

CPA JOURNAL
— Why Are Students Not Choosing Accounting? I should have majored in accounting at UIC 1966-1968 and at NIU in 1969 and 1970. I erroneously did not because I was not strong in math and I thought that because of that, I could not pass the CPA examination. But I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979. But by then, because I was not a minority or female, the accounting profession wrote me off as being too old.

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, of veteran who would take the job. My qualifications include a) passing the postal employment test and earning a high school diploma in 1966, b) passing the Federal Service Entrance Examination in 1970, c) earning a job-related bachelor’s degree in 1970 and job-related master’s degrees in 1976, 1980, and 1997, d) earning job-related professional certifications in 1979, 1981, 1990, 1994, 1996, and 1997, and e) earning a job-related professional license in 1981.

— Did Harvard reject Donald Trump? Biographer claims it’s at the heart of the feud. Did you apply to Ivy League universities? I did not. According to my critics/opponents, degrees from non-Ivy League universities are worthless, that is, my 1997 IIT degree, my 1980 DePaul degree, my 1976 Loyola degree, and my 1970 NIU degree are worthless. I should write about my critics/opponents. They stress that my ACT score was only 24 and that I only just barely made it into the upper 20% of my high school class.

— Democrat leaders hint/imply/argue/shout that Trump has a grudge against Harvard because it rejected him and/or his son. Since I was 19 years old in 1968, my Democrat superiors in the federal government have hinted/implied/argued/shouted that I have a grudge against federal agencies because they took adverse actions against me. To get rid of me, my Democrat Post Office superiors disallowed my sick leave requests in 1968 and 1969 and forced me to resign in 1969. To get rid of me, my Democrat IRS superiors disallowed my travel vouchers in 1974, disallowed my education deductions in 1978, and never promoted me beyond GS-12. To get rid of me, my Democrat GAO superiors a) forced me to take a $23,472 (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS in 1980, b) kept me off audits of IRS for all but 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for GAO, c) delayed my promotions and never promoted me beyond GS-13, d) always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance, and e) forced me to retire when I was 49 in 1997. In my defense, the codes of ethics that I have been under since 1979 prohibit me from holding grudges. I became a CPA in 1979 and a licensed CPA in 1981. I became a Certified Internal Auditor in 1981, Fraud Examiner in 1990, Government Financial Manager in 1994, Financial Services Auditor in 1996, and Forensic Accountant in 1997.

— What is your position on Civil Service protections? Trump wants to cut them. Were it not for Civil Service protections, the Democrats who ran GAO in 1980, IRS in 1971, and the Post Office in 1966 a) would not have hired me, b) would have done more to waste my career and to get rid of me, c) would not have promoted me in 1972, 1973, 1974, or 1986, d) would have taken even more/bigger adverse actions against me, and e) would have gotten rid of me sooner than they did. They hired me because they could not find a qualified Democrat, minority, female, younger person, or veteran who would take the job. My qualifications include a) passing the postal employment test and earning a high school diploma in 1966, b) passing the Federal Service Entrance Examination in 1970, c) earning a job-related bachelor’s degree in 1970 and job-related master’s degrees in 1976, 1980, and 1997, d) earning job-related professional certifications in 1979, 1981, 1990, 1994, 1996, and 1997, and e) earning a job-related professional license in 1981. – Dave Diersen

All my coworkers who they promoted over me were Democrats a) who had less work experience than I had, less education than I had, no professional certifications or fewer than I had, and/or no professional license like the one I had and/or b) were younger than me, minority, and/or female. – Dave Diersen

The more of the following that you do, the more points that they give you: glorify and praise them, pander to them, serve as one of their operatives or dupes, cover up their wrongdoing, and/or give them money. Of course, Democrat and RINO leaders give me no points. I should write about Democrat and RINO leaders in Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois. – Dave Diersen

— Hate-filled Trump-hating Trump-haters ever-increasingly promote more hatred against Trump and stress that he is not a lawyer. How much legal training have you had and how much legal experience do you have? I got lots of legal training and experience while I worked for IRS for almost 9 years, the last 5 1/2 years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 Levels, currently $99,069-$112,280/year, and for GAO for almost 18 years, the last 11 years of which at the GS-13 Step 1-10 Levels, currently $117,807-$153,151/year. Further, I got lots of legal experience serving as an active member in a class action lawsuit and pursuing lawsuits pro se.

FED SMITH
— Important Changes to Proposed Benefits Cuts in House-Passed Spending Bill. Trump wants to cut Civil Service protections. Were it not for Civil Service protections, the Democrats who ran GAO in 1980, IRS in 1971, and the Post Office in 1966 a) would not have hired me, b) would have done more to waste my career and to get rid of me, c) would not have promoted me in 1972, 1973, 1974, or 1986, d) would have taken even more/bigger adverse actions against me, and e) would have gotten rid of me sooner than they did. They hired me because they could not find a qualified Democrat, minority, female, younger person, or veteran who would take the job. My qualifications include a) passing the postal employment test and earning a high school diploma in 1966, b) passing the Federal Service Entrance Examination in 1970, c) earning a job-related bachelor’s degree in 1970 and job-related master’s degrees in 1976, 1980, and 1997, d) earning job-related professional certifications in 1979, 1981, 1990, 1994, 1996, and 1997, and e) earning a job-related professional license in 1981.

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Election for At-Will Employment The provision for new hires to elect at-will employment remains in the legislation as well. Newly hired federal employees could opt to become at-will employees in exchange for a lower contribution rate to FERS (the standard 4.4%). This would be an irrevocable decision per the language of the legislation as currently written. However, if employees were to choose to keep their Civil Service protections, they would pay an additional 5% contribution rate to FERS (9.4% total for most federal employees). Federal employees who opt to become at-will employees could face adverse actions, including removal, without notice or the right to appeal the action. Per the language of the bill as currently written, they “may be subject to an adverse action up to and including removal, without notice or right to appeal, by the head of the agency at which the individual is employed for good cause, bad cause, or no cause at all.”)

They succeeded in keeping me off audits of IRS for all but 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for GAO. They also wasted what I had learned a) earning master’s degrees in business, accounting, and finance and b) passing the CPA and Certified Internal Auditor examinations on my first attempt. They would not have done that if I had been a Democrat, minority, female, younger, and/or veteran. I should write about that.

— Should you tell your employer you’re looking for a new job? My Firestone Store boss would never have hired me when I was 21 years old in 1970. I was hired by Firestone’s district office and assigned to his store. He owned the building in Chicago Heights that the store was in. He forced me to pass a 2-week probationary period in the Firestone Store in Gary, Indiana. He disapproved of my being a draft avoider, Republican, college graduate, part-time MBA student at UIC, Protestant, German American, my ancestors having been in America since 1844, and I had been a Crete resident since 1948. He was a veteran and he blamed Republicans for America losing the Vietnam War. My on-the-job training included lots of pumping gasoline, mounting and balancing tires, changing oil and filters, changing batteries, and delivering major appliances. I made the best of it, but I did accept a job offer from Oldsmobile in early 1971. He immediately rudely fired me when I told him that I had accepted that offer after he had directed me while the store was open to use a ladder, bucket, water, and SOS pads to clean the whitewalls on moldy tires that had been hanging on store’s showroom walls for many years.

My Democrat IRS superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates were furious when my wife and got married in 1978 and bought a) 1017 East Harrison in Wheaton ( https://www.redfin.com/IL/Wheaton/1017-E-Harrison-Ave-60187/home/18135528 ) and b) two new cars. According to them, I was grossly overpaid, that is, I should not have been promoted in 1972, 1973, or 1974.

— 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.

— How have elected officials impacted your career? GAO works for Congress. 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.

They stress that I am a conservative Republican and that I was 1-A. They blame Republicans for losing the Vietnam War. What if I had tried to enlist? I could not run because I had a bone disease. My eyesight could be corrected to 20/20. I had partial red/green color blindness. My critics/opponent could stress that I was able to stand and wash dishes.

(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.”)
