— Saigon fell 50 years ago. Back then, I was a 26-year-old IRS employee. Virtually all of my superiors and supervisors were Democrat veterans. They blamed non-veteran Republicans for the fall of Saigon. I was one of an extremely few non-veteran Republicans in the office. My Democrat IRS superiors and supervisors who were veterans held my avoiding the Vietnam War draft against me big time. They had disallowed my travel vouchers in 1974. They had made it clear that they would never promote me to GS-13. They disallowed my education deductions in 1978. They ignored/dismissed/belittled my passing the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979.

— Dodge Charger Daytona EV Could Get Better Batteries in 2026. Nevertheless, my 6,000-pound 2025 Dodge Charger R/T Plus does the quarter mile in 12.6 seconds at 135 MPH. Level 1 charging is fast enough for me. But because Dodge gave me a free $600 Level II charger, I had it installed along with a 220V 50 Amp outlet in my Iron Gate Car Condo for $1,125.

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Stellantis and Factorial Energy have validated a semi-solid-state battery with 375 Wh/kg energy density, offering faster charging and improved cold-weather performance, with real-world testing set to begin in Dodge Charger Daytona EVs in 2026. Weight savings could be substantial, with up to 2,000 pounds cut from total vehicle mass, improving EV efficiency, performance, and reducing manufacturing costs. Production challenges remain, with high costs and manufacturing difficulties still to overcome before the technology can be widely adopted.)

Overall Ford brand sales slipped 1.2%, highlighting growing consumer interest in EVs as traditional models like the Explorer and Expedition also saw sales declines.)

— What if anti-conservative leaders had not had their operatives and their dupes destroy TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois and the Illinois Center Right Coalition (ICRC)? Under my chairmanship, TAPROOT would still be holding monthly breakfast meetings, an August picnic, and a December Christmas party. Speakers at those events would still be advocating conservative principles. They would still be advocating the Republican Party platform including its personal responsibility, traditional marriage and family, right to life, immigration, illegal drugs, Second Amendment, and equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) planks. I should write about those anti-conservative leaders who had their operatives and their dupes destroy TAPROOT and ICRC.

I should write about my critics/opponents. I would focus on those who have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me lately. According to them, I owe all my successes in life to my benefitting from discrimination against minorities and females. But neither of my parents attended college. My father was only the first of my ancestors to earn a high school diploma. My father never earned more than $50,000/year in today’s dollars. He died suddenly when he was 47 and I was 21. My mother never attended high school. I had to work my way through college. Further, virtually all federal employees are Democrats. While I worked for the Democrats who ran the federal government for almost 30 years, they gave tremendous preference to their Democrat employees who were minority and/or female. All my coworkers who they promoted over me were Democrats and many if not most of them were minority and/or female. They all 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. – Dave Diersen

They have always stressed that if I had not avoided the draft, I would not have been able to a) buy new cars in 1967, 1968, 1971, 1973, 1978, etc., b) buy real estate in 1972, 1974, 1976, and 1978, c) earn a bachelor’s degree in 1970 and master’s degrees in 1976 and 1980, d) pass the CPA examination in 1979 and the Certified Internal Auditor examination in 1981, e) become a licensed CPA in 1981, or f) get married in 1978.

My Democrat Post Office, Firestone Store, IRS, and GAO superiors always stressed to my superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates that I did not enlist and that I got student draft deferments 1966-1970 while I attended UIC and NIU and that I got a financial hardship draft deferment 1970-1971. My Democrat superiors got my Democrat superiors and supervisors who were veterans to take many big adverse actions against me. I should write about that.

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Even a member of the moribund Illinois Republican Party — Peoria U.S. Rep. Darin LaHood — indicated interest. From the outside looking in, a GOP candidate would appear to be the political equivalent of a kamikaze pilot in this reflexively Democratic state. Perhaps that’s why another Republican, former state Rep. Tom Demmer, issued a statement that parodied candidates’ expressions of interest. “Following today’s announcement from Sen. Durbin, I’m preparing to have conversations to consider the potential formation of a tentative exploratory committee to look in to the possibility of floating my candidacy. I hope to have potential decisions narrowed down sometime within the next 12-24 months. Get ready to stay tuned,” Demmer tweeted.)

— Trump’s mass firing of probationary employees was illegal because it was not performance-based. I should write about how my Democrat superiors in the federal government used the subjectivity in their performance appraisal systems to get rid of me. I would focus on my Democrat GAO superiors. They used that subjectivity a) to force me to take a $23,472/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS in 1980, b) to delay my promotions and to never promote me beyond GS-13, c) to give me bad job assignments, unfair performance expectations, and unfair performance appraisals, d) to always rank me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance, and e) to force me to retiree when I was 49 years old in 1997. The following frustrated their painting me as being a poor performer: a) my earning an MBA in 1976, b) my passing the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, c) my earning a master’s degree in accounting in 1980, d) my passing the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981, e) my becoming a licensed CPA in 1981, f) my earning four more professional certifications in 1990, 1994, 1996, and 1997, and g) my earning a master’s degree in finance in 1997. – Dave Diersen

My Democrat IRS superiors never promoted me beyond GS-12, disallowed my education deductions in 1978, and disallowed my travel vouchers in 1974.

http://www.gopillinois.com
— Have your critics/opponent taken adverse actions against you, and if so, why? My critics/opponents have taken many big adverse actions against me a) because they destroy those like me who they cannot manipulate or dominate, who refuse to glorify and praise them, who refuse to pander to them, who refuse to serve as one of their operatives or dupes, who refuse to cover up their wrongdoing, and/or who refuse to give them money, b) because they are Democrats or RINOs, and/or c) because I have sued them. I should write about my critics/opponents. – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopilinois.com
— What have your critics/opponents used against you the most? My critics/opponents have used against me the most a) my fighting Democrat promotion of 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 national origin discrimination, b) my having been a federal employee for almost 30 years and especially my having been an IRS employee for almost 9 years and my having been a federal retiree for almost 28 years, c) my demographics and especially my being a draft avoider, Protestant, and German American, and/or d) my having sued them. But of course, my critics/opponents use pretexts. I should write about my critics/opponents. – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com
— What is your position on equal outcome? My critics/opponents promote equal outcome, that is, according to them, no matter what your demographics are, you should be as successful at what you do as those who do not share your demographics, and if you don’t, it is because of discrimination. According to my critics/opponents, if minorities and/or females are less successful doing something than Whites and/or men are, it is because Whites and/or men discriminated against them. I passed the CPA and Certified Internal Auditor examinations on my first attempt. Few of those who took those examinations were minorities and/or women. Even fewer passwd the examinations on their first attempt. According to my critics/opponents, I passed the examinations because I benefitted from discrimination against minorities and against women. But in my defense, neither of my parents attended college, my father was only the first of my ancestors to earn a high school diploma, he never earned more than $50,000/year in today’s dollars and died suddenly when he was 47 and I was 21, my mother never attended high school, and I had to work my way through college. – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com
— What should you tell your children about up-or-out? If your children are White and/or male, you should tell them that Democrats and RINOs will use up-or-out to get rid of them if they are not making at least $100,000 by age 25, $200,000/year by age 30, $300,000 by age 35, $400,000 by age 40, etc. Because of that, unless your children become Democrats, they should do everything that they can to get good grades, to get the best ACT/SAT score that they can, to get accepted by the best college that they can, and to pick the right major. My Democrat IRS and GAO superiors used up-or-out to get rid of me. The Democrats who run the federal government use up-or-out to get rid of their employees who are not Democrat, minority, female, and/or veteran and who they do not promote to GS-13 ($117,807) by age 25, GS-14 ($139,211) by age 30, GS-15 ($163,749) by age 35, and Senior Executive Service ($195,200) by age 40. Extremely few federal employees make the aforesaid promotion deadlines. My Democrat IRS superiors got rid of me because I am not a Democrat, minority, female, or veteran and because I did not make GS-12 ($99,069) until I was 25 and I did not make GS-13 until I was 38. They did that notwithstanding my earning an MBA in business when I was 27, my passing the CPA examination on my first attempt when I was 30, my earning a master’s degree in accounting when I was 31, my passing the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt and becoming a licensed CPA when I was 32, my earning four more job-related professional certifications when I was 41, 45, 47, and 48, and my earning a master’s degree in finance when I was 48. – Dave Diersen

FROM ILLINOIS CENTER-LEFT SOURCES
CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— US Sen. Dick Durbin says he won’t run for sixth term. I remember, as a Republican Precinct Committeeman, distributing campaign literature and getting sign locations in my precinct for Durbin’s Republican opponents Curran in 2020, Oberweis in 2014, Sauerberg in 2008, and Durkin in 2002. Further, I remember, as a Republican Precinct Committeeman, doing that for Duckworth’s opponent Salvi in 2022, for Kirk in 2016 and 2010, and Keyes in 2004. Because they all were statewide races, my critics/opponents had a harder time blaming me and blaming my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters for Republican defeats.

Also being touted by some Republicans is Rep. Ray LaHood, who represents Peoria and other downstate areas.)

CHICAGO MAGAZINE
— The 10 Pols Who Could Replace Dick Durbin
https://www.chicagomag.com/chicago-magazine/february-2024/the-10-pols-who-could-replace-dick-durbin/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: When U.S. senator Peter Fitzgerald announced his retirement in 2004, 16 candidates ran to succeed him. “Don’t you think it would be cool to be a senator?” one remarked. (Barack Obama, a state senator at the time, won — you might have heard of him.) . . . 5. Darin LaHood
The GOP will run a candidate, too, and LaHood is likely to be it. The last two times an Illinois Republican won a Senate race were 1998 and 2010 — nonpresidential years when a Democrat was in the White House, which seems to indicate that a Joe Biden reelection would help LaHood. (The Democrats also ran weak candidates those years.) Of the three Illinois Republicans in Congress, LaHood, elected to the House in 2015, is the most moderate. He’s from Peoria, which is Middle America personified. “He’s a guy who is politically disciplined and has not alienated the base,” says a conservative activist. “He can appeal to independents, too. He’s not a crazy MAGA.” Democrats would attack LaHood on abortion (he opposes) and voting with Trump on issues such as repealing Obamacare. He needs “to keep the race on economics and the lack of federal leadership, particularly with the border crisis,” the activist says.)

Further, IRS never promoted me beyond GS-12 and took adverse actions against me. Further, GAO forced me to take a $23,472/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer, delayed my promotions, never promoted me beyond GS-13, and took adverse actions against me including always ranking me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance and forcing me to retire when I was 49. – Dave Diersen

But Oldsmobile withdrew that offer saying that it had just agreed to stop hiring Whites to settle an EEOC complaint. Because I had to have a job, I then accepted a job offer from IRS.

ILLINOIS CPA SOCIETY
— The Rise and Retreat of DEI. The accounting profession and IRS and GAO had no interest in me a) because I was not a minority or a female, b) because I did not earn an MBA until I was 27, c) because I did not major in accounting until I was 27, d) because I did not pass the CPA examination until I was 30, e) because I did not earn a master’s degree in accounting until I was 31, f) because I did not pass the Certified Internal Auditor (CIA) examination until I was 32, and g) because I did not become a licensed CPA until I was 32. Further, while I passed the CPA and CIA examinations on my first attempt, my scores were not that great. Further, the experience that I gained working for IRS’s Collection Division 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) was not viewed favorably. Further, IRS never promoted me beyond GS-12 and took adverse actions against me. Further, GAO forced me to take a $23,472/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer, delayed my promotions, never promoted me beyond GS-13, and took adverse actions against me including always ranking me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance and forcing me to retire when I was 49.

FROM ILLINOIS CENTER-RIGHT SOURCES
GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— Which offices will be on the November 3, 2026 ballot in your precinct? Do you anticipate/expect helping elect candidates for those offices? What discourages you from doing that? For me, it includes far too many Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct since 2000 who have blamed me and blamed my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters for their losses and/or near losses. I should write about those candidates and their major donors, political consultants, fundraisers, pollsters, campaign managers, campaign staff members, and campaign volunteers. Most commonly, they have hinted/implied/argued/shouted that I painted them as being more conservative than they wanted to be painted and that caused them to lose. I would focus on the aforesaid candidates who rejected the most planks in the Republican Party platform. I have long since stopped helping elect candidates in nonpartisan elections and Republican primary elections a) because far too many of those candidates who lost those elections and primaries blamed me and blamed my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters for their defeats and b) far too many of those candidates who won Republican primaries buy lost general elections blamed their defeats on my support for their opponents in the primaries. – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com
— What are the following doing to elect Republicans on November 3, 2026: the leaders of a) the Illinois Republican Party, b) your Republican county party organization, and c) your Republican township party organization? They need to defend and advance the Republican Party platform, that is, they need to defend and advance conservative principles. – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com
— What do you stress to defend and advance conservative principles? I stress the successes that I have had because I have always followed conservative principles. I earned a bachelor’s degree when I was 21. I earned master’s degrees when I was 27, 31, and 47. I earned professional certifications when I was 30, 32, 41, 45, 47, and 48. I earned a professional license when I was 32. I bought new cars when I was 17, 19, 20, 23, 25, 29, etc. I bought real estate when I was 24, 25, 27, 29, 35, etc. I got married when I was 29. I was able to do the aforesaid notwithstanding my parents never having attended college, my father having been only the first of my ancestors to earn a high school diploma, my mother never having attended high school, and my having to work my way through college. – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com
— What do you promote that your critics/opponents use against you? My critics/opponents use my promoting the Republican Party platform, that is, my promoting conservative principles. They especially use my promoting the platform’s personal responsibility, traditional marriage and family, right to life, immigration, illegal drugs, Second Amendment, and equal opportunity (no race of gender based preference giving) planks. – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com
— What do your critics/opponents do? My critics/opponents destroy those like me who they cannot manipulate or dominate, who refuse to glorify and praise them, who refuse to pander to them, who refuse to serve as one of their operatives or dupes, who refuse to cover up their wrong doing, and/or who refuse to give them money. I should write about my critics/opponents and the many big adverse actions that they have taken against me. – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com
— What jobs have you had? According to my critics/opponents, all the jobs that I had were bad jobs that they would never stoop to take and that should have been given to minorities, females, younger people, and veterans. I did yard work 1962-1964, washed dishes 1964-1966, cleaned golf shoes, chipped slag, and pumped gasoline in 1966, delivered mail 1966-1969, worked on an automotive 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. – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com
— What are your demographics? My critics/opponents look down on, if not despise, if not hate those who share my demographics. I am conservative, Republican, White, male, older (born in 1948), non-poor, non-veteran, Protestant, German American, and my ancestors have been in America since 1844. Further, I was a Crete resident 1948-1972 and I have been a Wheaton resident since 1978. Further, I was a federal employee for almost 30 years, including almost 9 years working for IRS, and I have been a federal retiree for almost 28 years. – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com
— How envious were your coworkers? My Democrat superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates were full of envy. They always painted themselves as being financially disadvantaged. They decried my earning a bachelor’s degree when I was 21, my earning master’s degrees when I was 27, 31, and 47, my earning professional certifications when I was 30, 32, 41, 45, 47, and 48, my earning a professional license when I was 32, my buying new cars when I was 17, 19, 20, 23, 25, 29, etc., my buying real estate when I was 24, 25, 27, 29, 35, etc., my getting married when I was 29, etc. They hinted/implied/argued/shouted that I would never have been able to do the aforesaid a) if I had not avoided the draft and b) if my wife and I had children. – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com
— What Caste were you born into? My critics/opponents stress a) that my parents were Protestant and German American, b) that neither of my parents attended college, c) that my father was only the first of my ancestors to earn a high school diploma, d) that he never earned more than $50,000/year in today’s dollars, e) that my mother never attended high school, f) that I had to work my way through college, g) that none of my degrees are from Ivy League universities, h) that I was a federal employee for almost 30 years, i) that I have been a federal retiree for almost 28 years, and j) that I never earned more than $153,151/year in today’s dollars. – Dave Diersen

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Many schools (including almost all “elite” universities) view their maintenance of Kendian “discrimination for the right reasons” programs in admissions, hiring, promotions, tenure, and funding to be moral imperatives, and thus either are flatly refusing to abide by the Trump administration’s demands, and/or are continuing their discriminatory programs sub rosa.)

I should focus on those who a) disallowed my travel vouchers in 1974, b) got rid of the IRS manager who had promoted me in 1972, 1973, and 1974, c) stopped me from being promoted beyond GS-12, d) disallowed my education deductions in 1978, e) forced me to take a $23,472/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer to GAO in 1980, and f) stopped GAO from assigning me to audits of IRS except 1986-1988.

— What harmed your career the most? For me, first, it was my Firestone Store manager’s disapproval of my demographics. Firestone Store’s District Office hired me and assigned me to his store in 1970. He never would have hired me. He vehemently disapproved of my avoiding the Vietnam War draft. Then it was Oldsmobile’s withdrawing its job offer because it had just agreed to stop hiring Whites to settle an EEOC complaint in 1971. That ended my career in automotive industry. My Firestone Store manager rudely fired me because I accepted that offer. I accepted IRS’s job offer in 1971 because I had to have a job. Then it was my Democrat IRS superiors’ success in getting rid of the manager who had promoted me in 1972, 1973, and 1974. Then it was my Democrat GAO superiors’ success in getting rid of the manager who had arranged for my transfer from IRS in 1980. My Democrat IRS and GAO superiors got rid of the aforesaid managers because they had advanced me instead of advancing my Democrat coworkers who were minority, female, younger, and/or veteran. But then, more significantly, it was my opposing my Democrat IRS and GAO superiors’ race and gender based preference giving, their political affiliation discrimination, their reverse discrimination, their age discrimination, their religious discrimination, and their national origin discrimination. But then, even more significantly, it was my becoming an active member in a class action lawsuit that charged my GAO superiors with reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation in 1988. – Dave Diersen

— What helped your career the most? For me, it was my a) earning an MBA from Loyola in 1976, b) my passing the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, c) my earning a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980, d) my passing the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981, e) my becoming a licensed CPA in 1981, f) my earning more professional certifications in 1990, 1994, 1996, and 1997, and g) my earning a master’s degree in finance in 1997. If I had not done the aforesaid, a) IRS would not have promoted me in 1972, 1973, and 1974 and b) GAO would not have hired me in 1980, promoted me in 1986, or let me work as long as it did. – Dave Diersen

AMERICAN THINKER
— Rep. Jasmine Crockett calls on illegals to pick her cotton because ‘we done picking cotton’ I never picked cotton, but I did yard work, delivered newspapers, washed dishes, cleaned golf shoes, chipped slag, pumped gasoline, delivered mail, worked on an automobile assembly line, sold tires, automotive services, and major appliances, pumped more gasoline, collected delinquent taxes, and audited federal agencies. According to my critics/opponents, all the jobs that I had were bad jobs that they would never stoop to take.
