FROM ILLINOIS CENRT-LEFT SOURCES

ABC7
— DuPage Democrats hold ‘Tesla takedown’ rally outside Lisle dealership, protesting Elon Musk’s DOGE. My critics/opponents despise/hate American nameplate cars. I currently own nine. They especially despise/hate Corvettes. I have owned a Corvette since 1971 and two since 2005.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wYt3-L9Oszw
(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).
https://www.chicagotribune.com/2025/03/18/pentagon-job-cuts/
— Nominations are open for 2025 Chicago Top Workplaces (COMMENT: Anticipate/expect that GAO will win this a) because Democrats run GAO and b) because they give their Democrat employees tremendous preference, and especially those 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. In 1980, I was one of the last Republicans that GAO hired.

As I worked for the Democrats who ran the federal government for almost 30 years, my Democrat superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates got ever-increasingly anti-conservative, anti-Republican, anti-White, anti-male, anti-older people, anti-non-veteran, anti-Protestant, anti-German American, and/or anti-those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time. I should write about the aforesaid.

— Harvard is expanding free tuition in diversity push  My father never earned more than $50,000/year in today’s dollars. Nevertheless, he believed that was too much to qualify for financial scholarships. And as my critics/opponents have always stressed, I did not qualify for scholastic scholarships because my ACT score was only 24 and I only just barely made it into the upper 20% of my high school class. Therefore, I worked my way through college.

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Harvard University announced Monday it will be expanding free tuition to more students, a move adopted by other schools since the Supreme Court ruled affirmative action could no longer be used in college admissions. 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.)

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.msn.com/en-us/news/world/usa-why-is-this-american-family-requesting-asylum-in-canada/ss-AA1AN72r
(FROM THE ARTICLE: On March 4, the Berg family, from Illinois, crossed the Ambassador Bridge connecting Detroit, Michigan, and Windsor, Ontario, to request asylum in Canada. Parents Ted and Caitlin, both veterans, say they’ve felt unsafe in their home country since Donald Trump returned to the White House. They took their children out of school the day after the presidential inauguration, fearing for their mental health.)

— Conservatives’ Tesla Rescue Mission Has Its Work Cut Out. Trump rallied support for Elon Musk’s car company, but there may not be enough conservatives willing to buy electric cars to make up for the Democrats who now shun Teslas.

WASHINGTON POST
— As Musk’s business empire falters, Trump summons a wave of conservative support. Amid calls for Musk to step back from the U.S. DOGE Service, Trump is offering a White House lifeline to his biggest donor — further entwining their fates. (COMMENT: To help elect a candidate is to entwine your fate with that candidate. Far too many candidates who I have helped elect have disappointed me. Far too many blame me and blame my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters for their defeats. Far too many have dumped more and more and more planks in the Republican Party platform.)

(COMMENT: Anticipate/expect that some Democrat and RINO leaders will put their promotion of DEI under the table and off the books. I should write about those Democrat and RINO leaders in Illinois, DuPage County, Milton Township, and Wheaton who have bragged the most about their DEI promotion, that is, who have bragged the most about their promotion of race and gender based preference giving, patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, religious discrimination, and national origin discrimination.)
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. I would have stressed a) that I had worked for GAO since 1980 and the last 11 years of which at the GS-13 Step 1-10 Levels, currently $117,807-$153,151/year, b) that I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, c) that I passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt and became a licensed CPA in1981, d) that I became a Certified Fraud Examiner in 1990, Government Financial Manager in 1994, Financial Services Auditor in 1996, and Forensic Accountant in 1997, and e) that I earned an MBA in 1976, a master’s degree in accounting in 1980, and a master’s degree in finance in 1997. – Dave Diersen

— 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

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.)

If there had been as many foreign-born in America when I was young, they would have had the jobs that I had.

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.

— Kevin Coyne: Board’s egregious conduct
https://www.dailyherald.com/20250312/letters-to-the-editor/boards-egregious-conduct/
(FROM THE LETTER: In 20 years of being deeply involved in DuPage County politics, I have never seen elected officials behave as disrespectfully and unprofessionally as the numerous Democratic Board members during the recent hearing on whether or not the board would remove Henry Hyde’s name from our county courthouse. The incredibly insulting idea to cancel the name of the prolific Henry Hyde was bad enough. But to cut off public comment on the proposal, after just 30 minutes, was something none of the many current and former officials in attendance had ever seen before. It was a terrible insult to all of the people who cared deeply about the legacy of Henry Hyde. People came from all over to speak at this hearing. Sadly, the majority of the board did not care to hear them. While these board members try to paint Hyde as a conservative extremist, Hyde’s legacy is not extreme and is very nuanced. Yes, Hyde was pro-life and he sponsored the Hyde Amendment (a bill that both Joe Biden and Ted Kennedy also voted for). Hyde led on the Brady Bill and Family Leave Act. Jesse Jackson Jr. gave remarks at Hyde’s memorial services and pointed to Hyde’s ability to work across the aisle. Hyde was very bipartisan in approach, a concept that is unfortunately lost by politicians today…certainly by the Democratic members of the DuPage County Board. Hyde’s collaborating and inclusive approach to legislating is sorely missed. We should do our best to remember his name and style, not forget it. Hopefully residents learn about what happened at this hearing. It was evident to all in attendance that the Board cared a whole lot more about pandering to their political activists than about good government.)

JOURNAL COURIER
— Democrat leaders say “Federal workers deserve respect, not cruelty.” (COMMENT: I should write about my critics/opponents who despise/hate federal employees and federal retirees the most. According to them, federal employees are grossly overpaid and their benefits are far too generous, and for federal retirees, their pensions and health insurance benefits are far too generous. I was a despised/hated federal employee for almost 30 years and I have been a despised/hated federal retiree for more than 27 years. While I was a federal employee, my salary increased from $19.37/hour to $153,151/year in today’s dollars. My Civil Service Retirement System pension is $66,780/year. The federal government pays 72% of my and my wife’s health insurance premiums. In my defense, while I was a federal employee, I earned a) a job-related bachelor’s degree, b) three job-related master’s degrees, c) six job-related professional certifications, and d) a job-related professional license.)

https://lakeconews.com/news/81048-5-reasons-veterans-are-especially-hard-hit-by-federal-cuts
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Federal law requires employers to give veterans an advantage in hiring over people who have not served in the military. Under the 1944 Veterans Preference Act, employers should hire veterans over other candidates and retain veterans over other employees during layoffs. The idea is to compensate for the economic loss of serving in the military and acknowledge the government’s obligation, especially, to support disabled veterans. Due to this veterans preference, nearly 30% of federal workers are veterans, half of whom are disabled. This means that veterans, who make up 6.1% of the U.S. population, are disproportionately affected by federal worker cuts. One estimate is that of the 38,000 federal employees fired in the first five weeks of the Trump administration, 6,000 are veterans.)

Bowsher assured that Gingrich’s cuts would not adversely impact GAO employees who were GS-15 (currently $163,749-$195,200/year) and above, minority, female, younger, veteran, and/or Ivy League degree holders, that is, that all the adverse impact would fall on GAO employees who were GS-14 (currently $139,211-$180,974/year) and below, White, male, older, non-veteran and/or were non-Ivy League degree holders. Because of the above, my having master’s degrees in management, accounting, and finance from non-Ivy League universities, my having six job-related professional certifications including in accounting and internal auditing, and my having a CPA license did not save me. Bowsher had an MBA from the University of Chicago, but he never passed the CPA examination and never become a licensed CPA.)

If I was still working, instead of collecting that $1.8 million to not work, I would have paid $295,000 into the CSRS. Who do you blame the most for the aforesaid? My Democrat GAO superiors or Gingrich? What is your position on paying employees to not work?)

Democrat leaders refused to end slavery. But today, Democrat and RINO leaders ever-increasingly paint and treat illegals as being runaway slaves.

Because I am all of the aforesaid, the following blame me and blame my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters for their problems: Democrat and RINO leaders of the Milton Township Republican Organization, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, Illinois Republican Party, Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, Illinois, conservative organizations, and religious organizations. – Dave Diersen

That may explain why I did not get a SSA-1099. But the Social Security website would not let me request one and no one answered at Social Security after hours of being in hold.)

NORTHERN PUBLIC RADIO
— Appeals court rules that Trump can remove head of  the Office of Special Counsel (OSC). OSC did not come to my defense when my Democrat GAO, IRS, and Post Office superiors took many big adverse actions against me a) because I blew the whistle on their political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination and b) because I became an active member in a class action lawsuit when I was 40 years old in 1988 that charged my GAO superiors with reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation.)
https://www.northernpublicradio.org/2025-03-05/trump-administration-can-remove-head-of-federal-watchdog-agency-appeals-court-rules
(FROM THE ARTICLE: OSC is responsible for guarding the federal workforce from illegal personnel actions, such as retaliation for whistleblowing. It investigates whistleblower claims of reprisal, can pursue disciplinary action against employees who punish whistleblowers and provides a channel for employees to disclose government wrongdoing.)

— All during the almost 30 years that I worked for the Democrats who ran the federal government, they ever-increasingly lowered standards to hire, retain, and promote more Democrats who were minority, female, younger, and/or veteran. That ever-increasingly rendered worthless a) my job-related bachelor’s degree, b) my three job-related master’s degrees, c) my six job-related professional certifications, and d) my job-related professional license. All my coworkers who my Democrat superiors promoted over me were the aforesaid and a) had less work experience than I had, b) had less education than I had, c) had no professional certifications or fewer than I had, and/or d) had no professional license like the one I had. – Dave Diersen

— The Office of Special Counsel’s (OSC) job is to look into and expose unethical or unlawful practices directed at federal civil servants, and to help ensure that whistleblowers who disclose fraud, waste, and abuse on the part of government agencies can do so without suffering reprisals, But OSC did not come to my defense when my Democrat GAO, IRS, and Post Office superiors took many big adverse actions against me a) because I blew the whistle on their political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination and b) because I became an active member in a class action lawsuit when I was 40 years old in 1988 that charged my GAO superiors with reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation. – Dave Diersen
