— Postal workers rally downtown Chicago against reported plan to privatize USPS. Who do you know who has worked for the Post Office? The Democrats who ran the Park Forest Post office in 1966 hired me because they could not find a qualified Democrat, minority, female, or veteran who would take the job. They gambled and lost that I would become a Democrat. They disapproved of my being a Vietnam War draft avoider, conservative, Republican, Protestant, German American, Crete resident since 1948, and new car owner. I used my 1966 Pontiac Tempest Sprint to deliver mail 1966-1967, then my 1968 Oldsmobile 442 1967-1968, and then my 1969 Dodge Charger SE 1968-1969. I had bought my Pontiac with money that I earned washing dishes part-time 1964-1966. To get rid of me, they disallowed my sick leave requests in 1968 and 1969 and forced me to resign in 1969 by falsely arguing that I was not available to work enough part-time hours. I was available to work every Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday, holiday, and every day NIU was not in session.

— An 1883 Act is protecting federal workers from DOGE’s firing spree. Democrat and RINO leaders reject the Pendleton Act. For them, government exists to hire, to retain, and to promote Democrats and RINOs.
https://www.nprillinois.org/2025-03-23/an-1883-act-is-protecting-federal-workers-from-doges-firing-spree
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Starting in 1883, there came a series of reforms, culminating in the Pendleton Act, which established civil service and a merit system for persons competing for jobs. . .The Pendleton Act banned the hiring of relatives, donors and other supporters for a certain class of federal jobs that required special knowledge or skills. It also banned the firing of employees for political reasons. At first, the act covered just 10% of federal jobs, but it expanded to encompass the vast majority.)

The Democrats who ran GAO 1980-1997 wasted my career and forced me to retire when I was 49 years old in 1997. They would not have done that if I had been a Democrat, minority, female, and/or veteran.

It is to ever-increasingly promote more hatred against voters who share Trump’s demographics: conservative, Republican, White, male, older, married, non-poor, non-veteran, Protestant, German American, and/or have ancestors who have been in America for a long time. It is to ever-increasingly shout that those who are the aforesaid are causing all the problems for those who are the following: liberal/moderate, non-Republican, minority, female, younger, unmarried, non-rich, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or have ancestors who have not been in America for a long time. – Dave Diersen

My critics/opponents ignore/dismiss/belittle a) the fact that I had been an active member in a class action lawsuit since 1988 that charged my Democrat GAO superiors with reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation, b) the fact that Gingrich had dramatically cut GAO’s budget, and c) the fact that my Democrat GAO superiors gave my job and my preferred corner office to my Black subordinate who had less work experience than I had, had less education than I had, had one professional certification while I had six, had no CPA license like the one I had, and had always ran the office’s Black History Month events. – Dave Diersen

That’s Congress’ job,” Glover said. He noted that the Government Accountability Office (GAO) is responsible for auditing the government and called for rally attendees to hold their elected officials accountable. “Either we stand up to this, and we let our members of Congress and the Senate know that they better stand up for us. We’re the constituents, and we can fire them just like DOGE is firing our people,” Glover said.)

GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— What are the biggest differences between the Democrat and Republican Parties? The Democrat Party requires its leaders to defend and advance all the planks its platform. The Republican Party not only does not do that, it lets it leaders who reject planks in the Republican Party platform destroy those Republicans who support those planks. The more planks in the Republican Party platform that you reject, the more of a RINO that you are. I should write about those RINO leaders of the following who reject the most planks: Milton Township Republican Organization, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Illinois Republican Party (IRP). Most commonly, they reject the 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 would focus on those RINO leaders who have had their operatives and dupes take the most/biggest adverse actions against me lately including a) ending my membership in the IRP State Convention Platform and Resolutions Committee last year and b) ending my service as the Republican fundraiser for Wheaton Independence Day parades and fireworks in 2021. – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com
— Political parties exist to help elect candidates who can and will defend and advance their platform. Which planks in the Republican Party platform do you support? Ever-increasingly, the more planks in the Republican Party platform that you support, the more that Democrats and RINOs do to destroy you. I support all the planks in 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. RINOs reject some, many, most, virtually all, if not all the planks in the Republican Party platform. Because I support the aforesaid planks, the following have taken many big adverse actions against me since 2000: past and present a) RINO leaders of the Milton Township Republican Organization, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Illinois Republican Party (IRP), b) RINO leaders of Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois, and c) RINO conservative and religious leaders and activists. I should write about the aforesaid RINOs. I would focus on the aforesaid RINOs who had their operatives and dupes a) end my membership in the IRP State Convention Platform and Resolutions Committee last year and b) end my service as the Republican fundraiser for Wheaton Independence Day parades and fireworks in 2021. – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com
— Republicans should be advised that Democrat and RINO employers use up-or-out to not hire Republicans and to get rid of their Republicans employees. The Democrats who run the federal government use use-or-out to get rid of their Republican employees who they did not promote to GS-13 ($117,807/year) by age 25, GS-14 ($139,211/year) by age 30, GS-15 ($163,749/year) by age 35, and Senior Executive Service ($195,200/year) by age 40. Extremely few federal employees make the aforesaid promotion deadlines. My Democrat superiors in the federal government never promoted me beyond GS-13 and did not promote me to GS-13 until I was 38. They would never have promoted me to GS-13 if I had not a) earned job-related master’s degrees when I was 27 and 31, b) earned job-related professional licenses when I was 30 and 32, and c) earned a job-related professional license when I was 32. – Dave Diersen

ANSWER: Democrat and RINO leaders ever-increasingly give more preference to citizens of foreign countries a) who are minority, female, younger, b) who lack education and/or job skills, and/or c) who want/need/demand massive government assistance. Democrat leaders want the aforesaid because they vote for Democrats. RINO leaders want the aforesaid because RINOs want cheap labor. – Dave Diersen

NATIONAL LAW REVIEW
— Political Affiliation Discrimination: Know Your Rights Anticipate/expect that Democrat and RINO employers will ever-increasingly a) not hire Republicans and b) get rid of their Republican employees. Democrat employers hire Democrats. RINO employers hire RINOs. The federal government is a Democrat employer.
https://natlawreview.com/article/political-affiliation-discrimination-know-your-rights
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The increased interest in this topic comes amid a highly charged political environment and the decision by the Trump Administration to terminate the employment of civil service employees across a wide array of government agencies. Additionally, many employees are unclear about their rights and obligations as their employers are retreating from commitments to corporate diversity, equity, and inclusion programs in response to the Administration’s aggressive efforts to eradicate DEI initiatives. These actions have left many employees in a state of confusion regarding their rights around these issues. Legal protections for discrimination based on political affiliation vary widely based on state law. Below is a broad overview of employment protections across the United States, but as these can vary even by local jurisdiction, contacting an employment attorney with specific questions about your legal protections may be the best course of action. . .There are currently no federal protections for private sector employees from workplace discrimination based solely on political affiliation. If you are a federal employee and you believe that you have been discriminated against because of your political affiliation, you may be entitled to some protections under the Civil Service Reform Act of 1978 (CRSA). Learn more on KBK’s political affiliation discrimination practice as it relates to federal workers here. If you are a federal employee looking for legal support services regarding recent federal government layoffs, see KBK’s Federal Employment Resources page here.)
WALL STREET JOURNAL
— Why Many Americans Are On Board With Federal Worker Firings. Some envision bloat and cushy jobs. ‘Let ’em go; get rid of them.’ Who do you know who is/was a federal employee? I was a federal employee for almost 30 years. Who do you know who is/was a federal retiree? I have been a federal retiree for more than 27 years. I should write about my critics/opponents who say that they are religious, conservative, and/or Republican and who despise/hate federal employees and federal retirees the most. I would focus on those who have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me. I would not have become a postal employee in 1966 if my high school friend had not asked me to join him in taking the postal employment examination. I would not have become an IRS employee in 1971 if Oldsmobile had not withdrawn a job offer that I had accepted saying that it had just agreed to stop hiring Whites to settle an EEOC complaint.

LINKEDIN
— Overcoming Ageism at Any Career Stage. Democrat and RINO employers use up-or-out, that is, age discrimination, to waste the careers of their Republican employees and to get rid of them. To fight that, a) I earned an MBA when I was 27, a master’s degree in accounting when I was 31, and a master’s degree in finance when I was 48, b) I passed the CPA and Certified Internal Auditor examinations on my first attempt when I was 30 and 32, c) I became a licensed CPA when I was 32, and d) I earned additional job-related professional licenses when I was 41, 45, 47, and 48. The Democrats who run the federal government use up-or-out to get rid of their Republican employees who they do not promote to GS-13 ($117,807/year) by age 25, GS-14 ($139,211/year) by age 30, GS-15 ($163,749/year) by age 35, and Senior Executive Service ($195,200/year) by age 40. Extremely few federal employees make the aforesaid promotion deadlines. I did not make GS-13 until I was 38 in 1986.

GOVERNMENT EXECUTIVE
— Many federal employees ordered to submit recent accomplishments. GAO audits IRS. If I had gotten such an email while I worked for the Democrats who ran GAO 1980-1997, I would have stressed how they wasted my knowledge of IRS. Before I transferred from IRS to GAO, 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 would also have stressed how they 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.

GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— A front page top of fold article in today’s USA TODAY is titled “How Trump and Musk made federal employees America’s favorite punching bag. Why do Americans hate federal employees? Musk and Trump are stoking long-running resentment of the federal government and civil servants for their own political purposes.” I should write a book about how people view/treat federal employees and federal retirees. I was a federal employee for almost 30 years and I have been a federal retiree for more than 27 years. Of course, in my book, I would use as examples how my critics/opponents in Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois have viewed/treated me. Of course, they deny my having been a federal employee and my being a federal retiree have anything to do with it. I would focus on my critics/opponents who have lots of religious, government, political, and/or financial clout and who have had their operatives and dupes take the most/biggest adverse actions against me lately. – Dave Diersen

— While I worked for the Democrats who ran GAO 1980-1997, because of Republican budget cuts, the agency was almost always under hiring freezes and/or promotion freezes. The agency shrank from over 6,000 employees to less than 3,000 employees. I was one of the last Republicans that GAO hired. My Democrat GAO superiors punished me severely because of those Republican budget cuts. I would not have survived for almost 18 years if I had not a) earned job-related master’s degrees in 1976, 1980, and 1997, b) earned job-related professional certifications in 1979, 1981, 1990, 1994, 1996, and 1997, and c) became a licensed CPA in 1981. – Dave Diersen

While I walk my precinct, I will get a measure of the success that hate-filled Trump-hating Trump haters have had promoting more hatred against Trump. Republican Precinct Committeemen are lightning rods for that hatred. 478 in my precinct voted for Harris. – Dave Diersen

— While I worked for the Democrats who ran GAO 1980-1997, because of Republican budget cuts, the agency was almost always under hiring freezes and/or promotion freezes. The agency shrank from over 6,000 employees to less than 3,000 employees. I was one of the last Republicans that GAO hired. My Democrat GAO superiors punished me severely because of those Republican budget cuts. I would not have survived for almost 18 years if I had not a) earned job-related master’s degrees in 1976, 1980, and 1997, b) earned job-related professional certifications in 1979, 1981, 1990, 1994, 1996, and 1997, and c) became a licensed CPA in 1981.

— FRONT PAGE TOP OF FOLD: How Trump and Musk made federal employees America’s favorite punching bag. Why do Americans hate federal employees? Musk and Trump are stoking long-running resentment of the federal government and civil servants for their own political purposes. I should write a book about how people view/treat federal employees and federal retirees. I was a federal employee for almost 30 years and I have been a federal retiree for more than 27 years. Of course, in my book, I would use as examples how my critics/opponents in Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois viewed/treated me. Of course, they deny my having been a federal employee and my being a federal retiree have anything to do with it. I would focus on my critics/opponents who have lots of religious, government, political, and/or financial clout and who have had their operatives and dupes take the most/biggest adverse actions against me lately.

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

CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— Pentagon is cutting up to 60,000 civilian jobs. About a third of those took voluntary resignations. During the 1980s and 1990s, because of Republican budget cuts, the Democrats who ran GAO cut 3,000 jobs or half of GAO’s workforce. Even though they focused on cutting their Republican employees who were White, male, older, non-veteran, Protestant, German American, and/or had ancestors who had been in America for a long time, I nevertheless survived until 1997. I would not have survived that long if I had not a) earned job-related master’s degrees in 1997 (finance), 1980 (accounting), and 1976 (business), b) earned job-related professional certifications in 1997 (forensic accounting), 1996 (financial services auditing), 1994 (government financial management), 1990 (fraud examination), 1981 (internal auditing), and 1979 (accounting), and c) earned a job-related professional license in 1981 (CPA).

— The Blue State Exodus Should Scare Democrats. The electoral consequences could be massive. Democrats ever-increasingly promote more a) dependency on government and charity, b) LGBTQ, c) abortion, d) mass/illegal immigration, e) booze, gambling, pot, prostitution, and other vices, f) diminishment of Second Amendment rights, and g) 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.

INDEPENDENT
— Violent attacks on Tesla spread from coast to coast – and overseas. In Donald Trump’s first term, his properties became a natural place for protest. In the early days of his second term, Tesla is filling that role. My critics/opponents despise/hate American nameplate cars, and especially Corvettes. I have owned a Corvette since 1971 and two since 2005.

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

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

While I walk my precinct, I will get a measure of the success that hate-filled Trump-hating Trump haters have had promoting more hatred against Trump. Republican Precinct Committeemen are lightning rods for that hatred. 478 in my precinct voted for Harris.- Dave Diersen

— Bloomington Public Schools District 87 staff were directed to participate in “Privilege Walks” in which teachers start on a line and take a step forward for each “privilege” they identify with, like being white, a male, having married parents, etc. Illinois state Rep. Regan Deering, R-Decatur, anticipates DEI “privilege walks” will likely continue despite Trump’s executive orders banning these types of programs in the public sector.

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

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

— If Gingrich had reformed GAO instead of gutting it, DOGE would not be needed today and I might still be a GAO employee. If Gingrich had formed a team to reform GAO, I would have volunteered to be a member of the team.

— What is/was your employers’ top priority? I worked for the Democrats who ran GAO 1980-1997, IRS 1971-1980, and Post Office 1966-1969. Their top priority was hiring, retaining, and promoting Democrats who were minority, female, younger, veteran, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or had ancestors who had not been in America for a long time. To achieve the aforesaid, they ever-increasingly a) lowered their hiring, retention, and promotion standards and b) used the extreme subjectivity in their personnel policies a) to give preference to their employees who were the aforesaid and b) to waste the careers of and to get rid of their employees who were not the aforesaid. The aforesaid ever-increasing rendered worthless a) my three job-related master’s degrees, b) my six job-related professional certifications, and c) my jo-related professional license. – Dave Diersen

If I was in high school today, because of my terrible demographics, I question if I could find enough motivation to pursue college. Democrat and RINO employers ever-increasingly give more preference to those who are minority, female, non-Protestant, non-German American, have ancestors who have not been in America for a long time, and/or are citizens of foreign countries. – Dave Diersen

— Pew surveys show boys tend to feel discouraged in the classroom, and are less likely than girls to pursue college. (COMMENT: What motivated you to pursue college? My father frequently decried his not having a college degree. He was discouraged from pursuing college because he had type 1 diabetes from childhood. He was only the first of my ancestors to earn a high school diploma. Neither of my parents attended college. My mother never attended high school. If I was in high school today, because of my terrible demographics, I question if I could find enough motivation to pursue college. Democrat and RINO employers ever-increasingly give more preference to those who are minority, female, non-Protestant, non-German American, have ancestors who have not been in America for a long time, and/or are citizens of foreign countries.)

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

Because my Democrat superiors wasted my career and forced me to retire when I was 49 years old in 1997, into today’s dollars, my CSRS pension is only 44% of what my salary was in 1997 and less than what my salary was in 1972.)

NEW YORK POST
— Foreign-born population highest since 1890 — shocking new figures show how much Biden changed America. (COMMENT: The less time that you, your parents, and the rest of your ancestors have been in America, the less money that you will work for. If there had been as many foreign-born in America when I was young, they would have had the jobs that I had. According to my critics/opponents, all the jobs that I had were bad jobs that they would never stoop to take. But nevertheless, those jobs enabled me to a) buy new cars when I was 17, 19, 20, 23, 25, 29, etc. b) pay for my college expenses when I was 18-31, c) buy real estate when I was 24, 25, 27, 29, and 35, and c) get married when I was 29.)

NEW YORK TIMES
— Democrat leaders say “Why the White House Car Show Mattered to Musk. A lot has changed since former President Joseph R. Biden Jr. snubbed Elon Musk at an event in 2021.” (COMMENT: Who has snubbed you at events and why? I should write about my powerful critics/opponents who have snubbed me at events the most often. I would focus Milton Township Republican Organization, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, Illinois Republican Party, Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, Illinois, Illinois Center Right Coalition, TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois, and Wheaton Chamber of Commerce events. I would focus on press conferences and fundraisers.)

— Didn’t Get that Promotion? How to Turn ‘No’ Into Opportunity. Getting passed over in a tough job market stings, but you might have more leverage than you think. (COMMENT: The Democrats who ran GAO would never had promoted me to GS-13 a) if their manager who led their effort to get rid of me (Dave) had not gone on extended sick leave in 1985, and therefore b) the manager who had arranged for my transfer from IRS in 1980 (Bill) was finally able to assign me to audits of IRS and to promote me to GS-13 in 1986. But Dave came back in 1987 and b) forced Bill to retire in 1987, b) threw me off audits of IRS in late 1988, c) gave me a very bad job assignment in early 1989, c) gave me unfair performance expectations and appraisal, d) ranked me at the bottom of my coworkers for pay-for-performance (PFP) in 1989, e) assured that I would never again be assigned to audits of IRS, f) assured that I would forever be ranked in the bottom half of my coworkers for PFP, and g) coordinated the successful efforts to force me to retire when I was 49 in 1997. I should write about Dave.)

AMERICAN ENTERPRISE INSTITUTE
— Democrat leaders say “Trump vs. The Press It’s time to push back against Donald Trump’s efforts to target, silence, and punish—via lawsuits, access restrictions, and exertions of Federal Communications Commission (FCC) regulatory authority—press entities that oppose and supposedly harm him or that fail to embrace his narratives.”

FED WEEK
— Democrat leaders crow that for the fifth straight year in a row, GAO is ranked the best mid-sized federal agency to work for. The Democrats who run GAO respond to their employees. Virtually all GAO employees are Democrats who are minority, female, younger, veteran, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or have ancestors who have not been in America for a long time. Those employees do not want GAO to hire those who are the following and they do want GAO to get rid of their employees who are the following: Republican, White, male, older, non-veteran, Protestant, German American, and/or have ancestors who have been in America for a long time. I am all of the aforesaid, and when I was 31 years old in 1980, I was one of the last Republicans who GAO hired. I should write about the aforesaid.

GAO
— Democrat leaders say “On March 11th 2025, GAO Director Chris Currie testified before the House Homeland Security Subcommittee on Oversight, Investigations, and Accountability about the pivotal role of DHS in securing the border, strengthening cybersecurity, and preventing violent acts of domestic extremism, among other roles. DHS also has expansive missions and an annual budget of about $60 billion. Oversight remains critically important to ensure effectiveness and efficiency. As of March 2025, GAO has made 146 recommendations in prior reports to DHS that remain open. These recommendations are designed to address the various mission and management challenges such as duplication, overlap, fragmentation, disaster assistance delivery, IT, and financial management.”
