CAPITOL NEWS ILLINOIS
— No one wants bad jobs. Because all the jobs that I had were viewed as being bad jobs, all my superiors had a hard time recruiting and retaining qualified minorities and females. Because of Affirmative Action and DEI, qualified minorities and females could get better jobs elsewhere. Consequently, my superiors ever-increasingly a) lowered their hiring, retention, and promotion standards and b) gave their minority and female employees more preference. That ever-increasingly rendered worthless my job-related bachelor’s degree, my three job-related master’s degrees, my six job-related professional certifications, and my job-related professional license. It all culminated in my superiors replacing me with my Black subordinate when I was 49 years old in 1997. He had less work experience than I had, less education than I had, one professional certification while I had six, and no professional license like the one I had.

I should write about my critics/opponents. I would focus on those who I have done the most to help elect and to reelect.

Because I was none of the aforesaid, no Democrat leader stood with me when Republican Gingrich gutted GAO during the 1980s and 1990s. Democrat leaders were overjoyed when my Democrat GAO superiors forced me to retire and replaced me in 1997 with my Democrat Black subordinate who had less work experience than I had, had less education than I had, had one professional certification while I had six, and had no professional license like the one I had. It is called patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination.

(FROM THE ARTICLE: The truth is, government doesn’t work without the professionals who show up every day to serve the public. Effectiveness depends on more than elected officials or public leaders. It requires the daily efforts of those working quietly behind the scenes. Their roles are rarely glamorous or celebrated, yet they perform them diligently because they believe in something bigger than themselves.

THE HILL
— The NextGen Bar Exam is DEI in action, dangerously lowering standards. Every time that Democrat and RINO leaders lower standards, my having done the following means more. I passed the CPA and Certified Internal Auditor examinations on my first attempt. I became a licensed CPA. I earned four more job-related professional certifications. I earned three job-related master’s degrees. I earned a job-related bachelor’s degree.
https://thehill.com/opinion/education/5359119-the-nextgen-bar-exam-is-dei-in-action-dangerously-lowering-standards/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The American legal profession is in crisis, and the NextGen Bar Exam is the latest symptom of a disease that’s rapidly metastasizing: the abandonment of merit in favor of ideological box-checking. For decades, the bar exam was the last line of defense — a rigorous filter ensuring that only those with real legal chops could represent the public. Today, that filter is being shredded, sacrificed on the altar of equity and inclusion. The result? A collapse in standards, the death of meritocracy, and a profession on the brink of irrelevance. The NextGen Bar Exam, set to roll out in 2026, is not about modernizing legal education or making better lawyers. It is about making the exam easier to pass. Out go the demanding essays and complex legal analysis; in come more multiple-choice questions and “practical” scenarios that test little more than common sense and the ability to regurgitate buzzwords. The new mantra is “minimal competence,” a phrase so hollow as to be meaningless. The new system benefits neither clients, who deserve skilled and well-prepared advocates, nor the public, who depend on lawyers to guide them through a complex legal system. The only winners are bureaucrats and activists obsessed with “equity.” And even then, this is not to say that the new bar somehow guarantees equality of opportunity. Rather, it tries to force equality of outcome, no matter how much the universal bar must be lowered in the process. In truth, the NextGen Bar Exam is DEI ideology in action. By blaming the bar exam itself, rather than differences in preparation or effort, for unequal pass rates among various groups, the legal establishment has chosen to lower the standards until everyone passes. This is neither fairness nor justice, but the soft bigotry of low expectations, institutionalized. DEI has become a Trojan horse, smuggling mediocrity into the heart of the legal profession. Instead of demanding that all aspiring lawyers rise to meet high standards, the system now bends over backward to ensure that the standards themselves are erased. The message is clear: merit is out, identity is in. The legal profession was once a meritocracy. It didn’t matter where you came from or what you looked like — if you could master the law, you could make it. That’s what made American law great — it consisted of the best and brightest, tested and proven. Now, that ideal is being tossed aside. The NextGen Bar Exam is just the latest example, following major formatting changes to the LSAT to “reduce anxiety” and the proliferation of alternative “pathways” to licensure that bypass rigorous testing altogether. This isn’t just a legal education problem. It is a societal problem. When we stop rewarding excellence and start rewarding box-checking, we get a weaker, less competent, and less trustworthy profession. As a result, we end up with lawyers who lack essential skills in writing, reasoning, and effective advocacy, in turn, undermining the credibility of our justice system. If this trend continues, the outcome is inevitable: Clients will find themselves represented by lawyers who only managed to pass a watered-down exam. Our courts will be overwhelmed by incompetence, and the already fragile reputation of the legal profession will deteriorate further. Those who will suffer most are everyday Americans — people who need legal help, not just a participation trophy. The legal profession must wake up before it’s too late. Reform is acceptable and necessary when things are made better. But what’s happening now is not reform, it is surrender. Surrender to ideology and mediocrity. Surrender to the idea that the only way to achieve “equity” is to undermine true merit. The NextGen Bar Exam is a disaster in the making. It is time for lawyers, judges, educators, and the public to speak out and demand a return to merit, rigor, and excellence. The fate of the legal profession and the trust of those it serves now hang in the balance.)

— APRIL 3, 2015 FLASHBACK: Would the government have hired you in 1956? IRS offered me a job when I was 22 years old in 1971 because I had taken and passed the Federal Service Entrance Examination in 1970. IRS would have offered me the job sooner if I had been a veteran.
https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/federal-eye/wp/2015/04/03/would-the-government-have-hired-you-in-1956/
(FROM TRHE ARTICLE: The old civil service exam was introduced in 1955, a proctored, pencil-and-paper test that thousands of Americans took each year to get federal jobs. It was called the Federal Service Entrance Examination. A brochure called “Futures in the Federal Government” opened with these words: “Wanted: People of Promise” and urged Americans to take the exam. Starting salaries were listed at $4,040. The civil service exam is making a comeback. The old test was eventually thrown out after legal challenges found that it discriminated against minority groups, who did poorly.)

ALL GOVERNMENT
— APRIL 7, 2015 FLASHBACK: U.S. Government Brings Back Civil Service Exams after 34-Year Gap. IRS offered me a job when I was 22 years old in 1971 because I had taken and passed the Federal Service Entrance Examination in 1970. IRS would have offered me the job sooner if I had been a veteran.
http://www.allgov.com/news/unusual-news/us-government-brings-back-civil-service-exams-after-34-year-gap-150407?news=856171
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Joining the federal workforce these days can involve doing something other federal workers haven’t had to do since the early 1980s: take a test. The federal government abolished the civil service exam in 1981 following multiple discrimination lawsuits that claimed the test was biased against minorities. But with so many people applying to become federal employees, some agencies decided to bring back the civil service exam, albeit in a much newer and modern format that tries to avoid being unfair to blacks and Hispanics. About 10% of would-be bureaucrats at three dozen government agencies—including the departments of Defense, Justice, and Health and Human Services—will take the USA Hire test that utilizes “animated avatars and videos to simulate challenges that could confront employees, testing their reasoning and problem-solving skills,” Lisa Rein wrote at The Washington Post. “Advances in technology allow the tests to scale questions; a correct answer leads to a harder question and an incorrect one ratchets down to an easier option. Scoring is instantaneous, an advance that can quickly winnow the pool of applicants,” Rein said. The test is designed to gauge an applicant’s general aptitude as well as teamwork, problem solving, judgment and specific job skills. Civil service exams originated in 1955 as the Federal Service Entrance Examination. At that time, starting salaries for federal employment were $4,040.)

BUSINESS INSIDER
— Accounting is a fast track to an upper-middle-class life. My not majoring in accounting at UIC 1966-1968 and at NIU 1969-1970 was a tremendous career mistake. I wrongly thought that I could never pass the CPA examination. Even though I did not start taking graduate evening accounting courses until 1976, I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979. I earned a master’s degree in accounting in 1980. I passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981. I became a licensed CPA in 1981. But by then, the accounting profession saw me as being far too old to have a successful career in accounting.
https://www.businessinsider.com/cpa-jobs-millennial-accounting-great-career-path-comfortable-life-2024-12
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Accounting classes were actually fun because what I was doing finally made sense. I enjoyed the material and liked my classmates. Since I switched my major after my freshman year, I caught up on the credits I’d need to eventually get a CPA license by taking extra classes over the summer and winter breaks. During my sophomore and junior years, I interned with a tax firm and a CPA firm doing bookkeeping and tax work. The internships were interesting and helpful. At bigger firms, interns might get assigned to scanning client documents and other repetitive tasks, but I worked at smaller firms and was able to see the majority of the tax process from start to finish. After I graduated with a B.S. in accounting in 2017, I took a job with a local CPA firm in Oklahoma City. . .I joined a national firm doing tax work in 2018. I got my CPA license the following year because the company paid for part of my testing fees. Getting a CPA license isn’t mandatory for accountants — I know plenty of accountants without licenses who’ve had successful careers — but it’s still considered the gold standard for accounting and I knew it’d help me move up in my career. Later that year, I job-hopped to another local CPA firm and worked in a client-facing position doing tax and accounting work. In 2021, I got a job with the federal government as an IRS agent. In May 2023, I left the IRS to join a different agency, where I still work, and the following month I launched my own CPA practice. . .Almost every time I job-hopped, I got around a 20% pay bump, a title increase, and a better work-life balance. I feel comfortable and happy with my life.)
FED WEEK
— Have you ever taken a pay cut? I did. I took a $23,472/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO when I was 31 years old in 1980. My Democrat IRS superiors had made it clear that they would never promote me to GS-13, currently $117,807/year, even though I had earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976 and I had passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979. I finally made GS-13 at GAO in 1986, but I would not have if I had not earned a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980, passed the Certified Internal Auditor Examination on my first attempt in 1981, and became a licensed CPA in 1981. I should write about my IRS and GAO coworkers who my Democrat superiors promoted over me. They all were Democrats a) who had less wok 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 and/or who were minority, female, younger than me, and/or veteran.
https://www.fedweek.com/retirement-financial-planning/my-federal-career-was-it-a-good-decision-to-leave-the-private-sector/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: I began my federal career in 1985. My starting salary with a Master’s Degree was $21,804. I was taking a 12,000 dollar pay cut to begin my federal career. This 35 percent salary pay cut was mind-blowing. My friends and co-workers laughed at me and told me that it was a horrible mistake working for the government especially for such a large pay cut. My intuition told me that it was not a mistake and I was prepared to take a step backward in order to take a giant step forward. My vision of a federal career was that I saw growth and opportunity. The hospital continued to suffer with several other mergers and today it has been leveled to an empty parking lot.)

— Has the overtime tax exemption passed? Did you volunteer to work overtime hours? I did. I volunteered to work all the overtime hours that I could 1966-1969, mostly Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays, while I worked for the Democrats who ran the Park Forest Post Office. The money I earned helped me a) pay for my UIC and NIU expenses 1966-1970, b) buy a new 1968 Oldsmobile 442 in 1967, c) buy a new 1969 Dodge Charger SE in 1968, and d) graduate debt-free from NIU in 1970 owning that Charger. But my GPA suffered.

In my defense, I earned a bachelor’s degree in management in 1970. I earned a master’s degrees in business in 1976, accounting in 1980, and finance in 1997. I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979. I passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981. I became a licensed CPA in 1981.

SERVING THOSE WHO SERVE
— New Legislation Would Cut Your Federal Retirement Benefits. My critics/opponents have always demonized, denigrated, and condemned my Civil Service Retirement System (CSRS) pension (currently $66,780/year) and my 72% federal health insurance subsidy as being far too generous. In my defense, I worked for the federal government for almost 30 years. During that time, I paid 7% of my salary into the CSRS. I earned a job-related bachelor’s degree when I was 21. I earned job-related master’s degrees when I was 27, 31, and 48. I earned job-related professional certifications when I was 30, 32, 41, 45, 47, and 48. I earned a job-related professional license when I was 32. If my Democrat GAO superiors had not forced me to retire when I was 49 in 1997, I might still be paying into the CSRS instead of getting a CSRS pension.

— Deportations will reverse erosion of US wages from illegal alien suppression. Back in the good old days, that is, during the 1960s, a) I was able to buy a new 1966 Pontiac Tempest Sprint in when I was 17 years old in May of 1966 after earning the minimum wage (inflation adjusted $12.36/hour) part-time for 15 months and full-time for 3 months, b) I was able to buy a new 1968 Oldsmobile 442 in December of 1967 after earning a GS-4 Step 1 salary (currently $19.37/hour) part-time for 9 months and full-time for 3 months, and c) I was able to buy a new 1969 Dodge Charger SE in December of 1968 after earning a GS-4 Step 2 salary (currently $20.02/hour) part time for 9 months and full-time for 3 months. In addition, with the aforesaid salaries and then earning a GS-4 Step 3 salary (currently $20.67/hour) part-time for 7 months and full-time for 3 months, I paid my UIC expenses 1966-1968 and my NIU expenses in 1969 and 1970 and graduated debt-free in August of 1970 owning that Charger. Granted, my parents provided me with room and board during the aforesaid time except for 3 semesters and a summer session while I was at NIU.

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

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.

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.

They have ever-increasingly discouraged everyone from reading my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters.

— Why not pose a ballot question to Illinois voters about sanctuary state status?
https://www.chicagotribune.com/2025/06/16/letters-061625/
— Who do you know who is in line to get a pension or is getting a pension? Ever-increasingly, they are demonized, denigrated, and condemned. I got in line for a Civil Service Retirement System (CSRS) pension when I was 18 in 1966. I have been getting a CSRS pension since I was 49 in 1997. In my defense, I paid 7% of my federal salary into the CSRS. In my defense, if my Democrat GAO superiors had not forced me to retire, I might still be working for GAO and paying into the CSRS. Constructively, so far, in today’s dollars, my Democrat GAO superiors have forced CSRS to pay me $1.85 million to stop me from working for GAO.

To break this down further, you’d need to earn about $66,178 per month, or about $15,272 per week, to be in the top 1% of income earners. . .Here’s how much you need to make to be in the top 5% and the top 10% in America: Top 5% income threshold: $352,773 Top 10% income threshold: $148,812 As you can see, earning just under $150,000 puts you in the top 10% of all wage earners in the U.S. This doesn’t put you in the elite class of top 1% earners, but you make more, on average, than 90% of American households.)

My father was only the first of my ancestors to earn a high school diploma. My mother never attended high school. I could not run because I had a bone disease. 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.

But to waste me, they forced me to take a $23,472/year (21%) pay cut to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980. They kept me off 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. They forced me to retire when I was 49 years old in 1997.

(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.)

THE HILL
— 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. They kept me off 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. They forced me to retire when I was 49 years old in 1997.

(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.)
