CHICAGO SUN-TIMES

So far, because of that ruling, GAO has forced the Civil Service Retirement System to pay me $1.9 million in today’s dollars to stop me from coming to work.

— FRONT PAGE TOP OF FOLD: Student enrollment at Illinois’ regional universities is plummeting. Under the Democrats and under the RINOs, demographics trump everything. I earned a) a bachelor’s degree when I was 21, b) master’s degrees when I was 27, 31, and 48, c) professional certifications when I was 30, 32, 41, 45, 46, and 48, and d) a professional license when I was 32  I spent a tremendous amount of time and money doing the aforesaid. But could I find the motivation to do the aforesaid if I was young today? From what I see, fewer and fewer and fewer of those share demographics seek college degrees, professional certifications, and professional licenses. From what I see, it is because of ever-increasing Affirmative Action and DEI, that is, it is because of ever-increasing race and gender based preference giving, patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, religious discrimination, and national origin discrimination. Young people with my demographics ever-increasingly believe that it is not only not worth the effort, but that it is impossible. From what I see, ever-increasingly, America is up-or-out for those who share my demographics. If you share my demographics, you are written off and gotten rid of if you are not making say $150,000+/year by age 25, $200,000+/year by age 30, $250,000+/year by age 35, $400,000+/year by age 40, etc. In the federal government, the earnings deadlines are $117,807 by age 25, $139,211 by age 30, $163,749 by age 35, and $195,200 by age 40. Extremely few of those who share my demographics are able to meet those earnings deadlines. Because of my demographics and because I did not make any of the aforesaid earnings deadlines, my Democrat superiors in the federal government wasted my career and got rid of me.

GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— OMB Director Russell Vought says GAO ‘shouldn’t exist’ because of its partisanship. If Gingrich had reformed GAO during the 1980s and 1990s instead of gutting it, there would be no need for DOGE. Democrats run GAO and IRS. They do not want Republicans to audit IRS. The way GAO treated me proves its partisanship. GAO forced me to retire when I was 49 years old in 1997. GAO always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance. GAO delayed my promotions and never promoted me beyond GS-13. GAO kept me off audits of IRS for all by 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for it. GAO forced me to take a $23,472/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS in 1980. My Democrat GAO superiors flushed down their toilets what I had learned a) earning master’s degrees in business, accounting, and finance, b) passing the CPA and Certified Internal Auditor examinations on my first attempt, c) becoming a licensed CPA, d) becoming a certified fraud examiner, government financial manager, financial services auditor, and forensic accountant, and e) working for IRS for almost 9 years.  GAO would not have taken the aforesaid adverse actions against me if I had been a Democrat, minority, female, younger, or veteran. – Dave Diersen

http://www.gopillinois.com
— The Democrats who ran GAO in 1980, IRS in 1971, and the Post Office in 1966 hired me because they could not find a qualified Democrat, minority, female, younger person, or veteran who would take the job. I qualified myself for the Post Office job by passing the postal employment test and by earning a high school diploma. I qualified myself for the IRS job by passing the Federal Service Entrance Examination and by earning a bachelor’s degree in business. I qualified myself for the GAO job by earning an MBA, by passing the CPA examination on my first attempt, by almost completing the requirements for a master’s degree in accounting, and by working for IRS for almost 9 years. To hire, retain, and promote more Democrats, minorities, females, younger people, and veterans, the Democrats who run the federal government have ever-increasingly lowered hiring, retention, and promotion requirements. That ever-increasingly rendered worthless my three job-related master’s degrees, my six job-related professional certifications, and my job-related professional license.  All my coworkers who my Democrat superiors promoted over me were Democrats a) who 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 and/or b) who were minority, female, younger than me, and/or veteran. The aforesaid is political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination. – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com
— What are your biggest career mistakes? My biggest career mistake was not majoring in accounting at UIC 1966-1968 and at NIU in 1969-1970. I erroneously thought I could never pass the CPA examination. But I did pass the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979 after I had a) worked for IRS since 1971, b) taken graduate evening accounting courses at DePaul since 1976, and c) then the Becker CPA review course. I went on a) to earn a master’s degree in accounting in 1980 and b) to pass the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt and to become a licensed CPA in 1981. But by then, my employer, GAO, and the accounting profession considered me to be too old to have a successful career in accounting. GAO and the accounting profession would not have done that if I had been a Democrat, minority, female, or veteran. – Dave Diersen

(FROM THE ARTICLE: The director of the Office of Management and Budget, Russell Vought, said Wednesday that the Government Accountability Office (GAO) should not exist. “We’re not big fans of GAO. They are a quasi-legislative independent entity and something that shouldn’t exist,” Vought said while addressing attendees at the National Conservatism Conference in Washington, D.C., as multiple news outlets reported. President Trump’s administration and some Republicans have long accused the GAO, which was created in 1921, of partisanship. . .The GAO is led by a comptroller general, who is appointed by the president and can be removed by Congress. Gene Dodaro is the current head of the GAO, serving in the role since late 2010. The terms are limited to 15 years. Dodaro said that “clearly Russell Vought does not value transparency and accountability.”)

https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2025/sep/5/editorial-public-servants-lose-ability-hold-america-hostage/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: President Trump is uprooting the mechanisms Democrats deployed to enhance their political power with taxpayer funds. In a recent presidential memorandum, the president asked Attorney General Pam Bondi to investigate the misuse of federal grants for political purposes. A sophisticated inquiry is required because non-governmental organizations often employ complex structures that launder through subgrantees the ultimate destination of Uncle Sam’s cash. With public sector unions, however, the politicization is overt.)

They kept me off audits of IRS for all but 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for GAO. They forced me to take a $23,472 (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS in 1980.

They stress that I could not run because I had a bone disease, that my eyesight could not be corrected to 20/20, and that I had partial red/green color blindness. No one thought that I would a) earn a bachelor’s degree when I was 21, b) earn master’s degrees when I was 27, 31, and 48, c) earn professional certifications when I was 30, 32, 41, 45, 47, and 48, and d) earn a professional license when I was 32.

— Success of Trump’s Agenda Hinges on Whether Unelected Leftist Judges Can Be Stopped From Hijacking the Constitution. As the president’s second term unfolds, many of the Democrats’ cherished totems are either comatose or in their death throes. All the judges and justices in Diersen v. GAO promoted Affirmative Action and DEI, that is, they promoted race and gender based preference giving, patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, religious discrimination, and national origin discrimination. That is why they ruled in GAO’s favor.

USA TODAY
— Hegseth shuts down NFL-style ‘crown jewel’ of Army’s merit-based talent programs. The NFL Combine-style programs for evaluating prospective Army commanders started during President Donald Trump’s first term. Starting when I was 25 years old in 1974, because my Democrat IRS superiors had not promoted me to GS-13, currently $117,807/year, they used up-or-out to get rid of me. They would not have done that if I had been a Democrat, minority, female, or veteran. I finally did make GS-13 when I was 38 in 1986, but I would not have if I had not a) earned an MBA in 1976, b) passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, c) transferred to GAO and earned a master’s degree in accounting in 1980, and d) passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt and became a licensed CPA in 1981. I should write about that.

(FROM THE ARTICLE: CAP was a trial for officers seeking to command battalions and brigades, demanding roles that make or break an officer’s career. The cancellation comes as part of a Pentagon review of officer personnel processes ranging from evaluations to promotions and command selection, among other career milestones. . .Participants would complete a physical fitness test, have their body fat measured, undergo a psychological evaluation, receive leadership evaluations from former peers and subordinates, and complete verbal and written communication assessments. An interview panel would anonymously judge the candidate’s communication skills based on their performance in an interview setting. Officers deemed “ready” by the panel would then be ranked for command opportunities based on their CAP performance and a review of their personnel file. . .The program was designed to spot potentially overlooked talent while also preventing toxic and abusive leaders from assuming positions of power.)

My Democrat GAO superiors used that demotion to justify their wasting my career and forcing me to retire when I was 49 years old in 1997. I should write about that. GAO audits IRS. When I transferred, 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, b) I had earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976, c) I had passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, and d) I had almost completed the requirements for a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul. Much of what I did for IRS was very similar to what I did for GAO.

(FROM THE BRIEFING: Republican Robert Vrankovich. Is running for the district now held by retiring Republican Rep. Amy Grant…Robert Vrankovich, husband, father, successful entrepreneur, and longtime community leader, today announced his campaign for State Representative in the 47th Legislative District. “Illinois is my home, and I will help reverse the course Springfield has set,” Vrankovich said. “It’s time to cut taxes and costs, make our communities safer, and turn Illinois into a business-friendly state where families can thrive.” “Representative Amy Grant has always represented the interests of our community. I am grateful for her years of dedicated service and look forward to continuing to protect the quality of life and shared values that make our neighborhoods such a great place to live and raise a family.” A proven entrepreneur, Vrankovich was the genesis of a start-up propane company 25 years ago, starting with zero customers and building it into a national operation generating more than $110 million annually. Having grown his business from the ground up, he knows firsthand how harmful policies from Springfield can stifle growth, drive up costs, and make life unaffordable for working families. “Springfield is making life unaffordable for families across Illinois,” Vrankovich explained. “The endless taxes and runaway spending are driving families and businesses out of our state. We should be making it easier to start and grow a business in Illinois, but instead, they’ve created one of the most hostile environments for job creators in the country. I’m running to change that.”)

HOUSE REPUBLICANS
— House Republican licensing reforms aim to get Illinois working. I transferred from IRS to GAO when I was 31 in 1980. My becoming a licensed CPA and my passing the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt when I was 32 and my earning a master’s degree in accounting when I was 31 frustrated my Democrat GAO superiors’ efforts to get rid of me.

DAILY CALLER
— The ‘America First’ Solution For Farmers and Hotels. Illegals take bad jobs. My critics/opponents never had to take bad jobs. But I did. I did yard work 1962-1964. I delivered newspapers 1962-1966. I washed dishes 1964-1966. I cleaned golf shoes, chipped slag, and pumped gasoline in 1966. I delivered mail 1966-1969. I worked on an automobile assembly line in 1970. If there had been as many illegals back then as there are now, they would have gotten the jobs that I got, and if not that, my wages would have been lower.

— Careers and chance: How much control do you really have? If Oldsmobile had not agreed to stop hiring Whites to settle an EEOC complaint when I was 22 years old in 1971, my entire life would have been different. Because of that agreement, Oldsmobile withdrew a job offer that I had accepted. Because I had accepted that offer, my Firestone Store boss rudely fired me. Because of that, I accepted a job offer from IRS.
