SPRINGFIELD STATE JOURNAL REGISTER
— Some Illinois residents are able to file taxes for free this year. (COMMENT: Have you ever phoned IRS with a tax question? If you did during the 1974 filing season, the IRS employee who answered your call was one of my subordinates. Back then, as a 25-year-old GS-11 (currently $82,655/year) IRS Revenue Officer, I supervised all of the IRS employees, which included a rotating staff of about 90 IRS Revenue Agent trainees, in IRS’s new downtown Chicago office who answered taxpayer questions using IRS’s new CentiPhone system. Because of my job performance, the IRS manager who had given me that developmental opportunity and who had promoted me in 1972 and 1973 promoted me to GS-12 (currently $99,069/year) in 1974. But my Democrat IRS superiors soon got rid of him because they were furious that he given me that developmental opportunity and promoted me instead of one of my Democrat coworkers who was minority, female, and/or veteran. My Democrat superior who led the successful effort to get rid of him was a veteran who was furious that I had avoided the Vietnam War draft.)

— Democrat leaders ever-increasingly reject Trump’s election and the rule of law. They ever-increasingly reject Trump’s deportation of their illegals.

How successful have Democrat leaders been replacing those in your county, township, municipality, school district, and precinct who have demographics that vote for Republicans with those who have demographics that vote for Democrats?

— Democrat leaders use government to take opportunities and money away from Republicans and to give those opportunities and that money to Democrats. The less income that voters have, the more likely that they vote for Democrats.

The following helped me survive: a) my earning a job-related bachelor’s degree in 1970, b) my earning job-related master’s degrees in 1976, 1980, and 1997, c) my earning job-related professional certifications in 1979, 1981, 1990, 1994, 1996, and 1997, and d) my earning a job-related professional license in 1981. – Dave Diersen

Recently, they had them a) remove me from the IRP State Convention Platform and Resolutions Committee and b) end my service as the Republican fundraiser for Wheaton Independence Day parades and fireworks.

My critics/opponents are overjoyed that GAO forced me to retire in 1997 and gave my job and my preferred corner office to my Black subordinate. He had less work experience than I had.

— A decision by Donald Trump’s incoming administration to make a late-night firing of at least 12 inspectors general –– including some the president personally approved of in his first term –– is creating alarm among observers, according to a report from the Washington Post. Increasing those concerns is the fact that abrupt “purge” is likely illegal under federal law. (COMMENT: While I worked for the Democrats who ran GAO for almost 18 years, I survived many agency-wide firings by earning two job-related master’s degrees, five job-related professional certifications, and a job-related professional license.)

— Democrats say “Trump’s attack on the federal workforce is an attack on the Black middle class. As the Center for American Progress has noted, the federal government has hired Black Americans at higher rates than the private sector going back a century or more.” My critics/opponents have always hinted/implied/argued/shouted a) that instead of me, GAO should have hired a Black in 1980, IRS in 1971, and the Post Office in 1966 and b) that instead of me, GAO should have promoted a Black in 1986 and IRS in 1974, 1973, and 1972. My critics/opponents are overjoyed that GAO forced me to retire in 1997 and gave my job and my preferred corner office to my Black subordinate. He had less work experience than I had. He had less education than I had. He had one professional certification while I had six. He had no professional license like the one I had.)

https://abc7chicago.com/post/trust-act-controversy-illinois-authorities-divided-law-forbidding-collaboration-federal-immigration-enforcement-raids/15834612/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: “Those that are charged with or convicted of serious, heinous crimes they don’t want them on the street,” Kankakee County Sheriff Mike Downey said. “We don’t want them on the street if they’re U.S. citizens, why would we want them on our streets if they’re here illegally?” In an exclusive interview, the sheriff allowed I-Team cameras into the Kankakee County jail. That facility, until the past few years, was contracted to hold up to 200 ICE detainees. “We want to be there as just backup. We’re not looking to detain or arrest anybody. We’re there to support another law enforcement agency and that’s where the frustration comes in,” Downey said. “It’s a public safety issue. Get these bad people off our streets and out of our country. That’s what law enforcement is asking.” . . . Republican west suburban state Representative Dan Ugaste said the entire TRUST Act should be repealed. “Rather than putting them back out on the streets making ICE go find them in the neighborhoods. We then will have a safe transfer of someone who’s going to be removed from the country,” Ugaste said. Currently, the closest local ICE detention center is in Wisconsin, where republican lawmakers are working to establish new rules for all local law enforcement to collaborate and assist with ICE.)

They did that because I had complained about their political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination.

Words have meaning, and you can say whatever you are, but that doesn’t mean it’s true.” The state lawmaker said he believes anyone identifying as intersex should go by what their chromosomes indicate.

— Legislator suspects prosecutions as Illinois cities defy Trump deportation plans (COMMENT: What positions do the law enforcement leaders in your county and municipality have on this?)
https://www.aol.com/legislator-suspects-prosecutions-illinois-cities-203700496.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: An Illinois legislator, who is also in law enforcement, suspects police departments and municipalities will lose federal funding if they don’t cooperate with federal immigration authorities. Just hours after President Donald Trump took the oath of office, DeKalb’s city manager Bill Nicklas issued a statement about the police department’s role in supporting federal authorities in carrying out mass deportations. The statement said the department operates in conformance with the Illinois TRUST Act, which bans law enforcement from assisting immigration agents. State Rep. John Cabello, R-Machesney Park, who is also a law enforcement officer, said once someone is a criminal, the TRUST Act is thrown out the window. “We can try to hide behind the TRUST Act, but the TRUST Act is, in my opinion, more on the lines of civil things and not criminal. If you’re here illegally, that’s criminal,” said Cabello. “I don’t foresee that there’s a police department out there that is not going to cooperate with another law enforcement agency. I mean, nobody in their right mind would not want to help get violent criminals off of the street, and that’s what’s going to be taking place” with Trump’s deportation policies. Chicago Public Schools CEO Pedro Martinez said ICE agents are not allowed to enter district premises without a judicial warrant. Cabello doesn’t foresee the federal authorities coming to a school to speak to a child in any way, shape or form. “These are folks that are trying to make it seem as though that the federal government and the President of the United States are these horrible people that are going to come to your school and snatch your child,” Cabello said. “People just need to stop and realize that we’re going after the worst of the worst right now. Relax. Unless you’re worse than the worst, then I hope you’re very nervous.” If an ICE agent shows up, CPS lawyers are available via hotline for school leaders to call and they’ll determine if the judicial warrant is valid. Cabello suspects police departments and municipalities will lose federal funding if they don’t cooperate with federal immigration authorities. Nicklas said in a statement that going after “non-criminals” would destroy the trust residents need to have with the police. Cabello said the Justice Department has said any state or local official who wishes to stand in the way of deportations will be prosecuted. “So, if you want to go to jail and lose your career to save the violent offenders that are on your street, you shouldn’t have been elected, and you shouldn’t be doing the job in the first place,” said Cabello. “If the agencies that don’t want to assist the feds in doing what they need to do, especially with violent criminals, then they can deal with not having federal funding.” In the DeKalb statement, Nicklas said the police department aligns with the Illinois Association of Chiefs of Police in their compliance with the TRUST Act. Cabello said not all police chiefs would agree that the act applies to illegal immigrants who are criminals. “I can tell you there’s a lot of police chiefs that do not agree with that,” said Cabello. “If anybody really looks at the TRUST Act, it’s really talking about civil things. It’s not talking about criminal stuff.” DeKalb Police, according to the city manager, will focus on reducing crime and enhancing quality of life for all residents. “Regardless of anyone’s immigration status, the DeKalb police will always help those in need, tend to victims of crime, and work with local agencies to assure the health and welfare of those we serve,” said the statement released by Nicklas.)

— Trump ousts at least 12 independent inspectors general in late-night purge. The dismissals appeared to violate federal law, which requires Congress to receive 30 days’ notice of any intent to fire a Senate-confirmed inspector general. (COMMENT: While I worked for GAO for almost 18 years and while I served on the Association of Government Accountants Chicago Chapter Executive Committee for 13 years, I worked extensively with Inspector General (IG) employees. If I had been a Democrat, minority, female. younger, and/or veteran, those IG offices would have offered me jobs when my Democrat GAO superiors succeeded in forcing me to retire when I was 49 years old.)

They stressed a) that GAO had forced me to take a $23,472/year (21%) pay cut to transfer, b) that IRS never promoted me beyond GS-12 even though I had almost completed the requirements for a master’s degree in accounting, I had passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, and I had earned an MBA in 1976, c) that IRS had disallowed my education deductions in 1978 and had disallowed my travel vouchers in 1974, d) that I opposed political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, religious discrimination, and national origin discrimination, e) that I was a conservative Republican, f) that I had avoided the Vietnam War draft, g) that I was Protestant, h) that I was 100% German national origin, i) that my ancestors had been in America since 1844, j) that I had been a Crete resident 1948-1972 and I had lived in Wheaton since 1978, and k) that I had owned a 1972 Corvette since 1971.)

— The Democrat Party’s strategies to stay in power include flooding America with those who have demographics that vote for Democrats, that is, citizens of foreign countries who are minority, female, younger, non-Protestant, and/or non-German American, that is, those who want/need/demand massive government assistance because they lack education and/or job skills and/or because they have health and/or other problems. The Democrat Party’s strategies to stay in power also include promoting dependency on government and charity, destruction of traditional marriage and family (LGBTQ), abortion, booze, gambling, pot, prostitution, and other vices, abolition of the Second Amendment, and Affirmative Action and DEI, that is, reparations, patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, religious discrimination, and national origin discrimination. Hate-filled Trump-hating RINOs have no problem with the aforesaid. The Democrat Party’s strategies are killing America. That is why Trump got reelected. – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com
— I have always followed the rule of law. While I worked for the Democrats who ran IRS and GAO, Democrat Affirmative Action and DEI laws required me to give preference big time to my Democrat subordinates who were minority, female, younger than me, disabled, and/or veteran. Virtually all my subordinates were problematic one way or the other. But I nevertheless gave them big time preference. But that was not enough for my Democrat superiors. They wanted to get rid of me so that they could give my job to one of my subordinates. My Democrat GAO superiors succeeded in doing that when I was 49 years old in 1997. They succeeded in forcing me to retire. They gave my Democrat Black subordinate my job and my preferred corner office. He had less work experience than I had. He had less education than I had. He had one professional certification while I had six. He had no professional license like the one I had. Previously, to get rid of me, they had always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes, They had kept me off audits of IRS for all but 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for GAO. They had delayed my promotions and never promoted me beyond GS-13. They had forced me to take a $23,472/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO. They had ignored/dismissed/belittled a) my earning master’s degrees in business, accounting, and finance, b) my earning professional certifications in accounting, internal auditing, fraud examination, government financial management, financial services auditing, and forensic accounting, and c) my becoming a licensed CPA. I should write about the aforesaid. – Dave Diersen

My Democrat superiors in the federal government gave preference big time to their Democrat employees 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, that is, they discriminated big time again their Republican employees who were White, male, older, non-veteran, Protestant, German American, and/or had ancestors who have been in America for a long time. – Dave Diersen

If my critics/opponents had their way, for all the many tests that I took and passed, equal percentages of Whites and minorities and equal percentages of males and females would have taken and passed those tests. But that was not the case. Far fewer minorities than Whites and far fewer females than males took and passed the tests that I did. I took and passed all the tests necessary to earn a) master’s degrees in business (1976), accounting (1980), and finance (1997) and b) professional certifications in accounting (1979) and internal auditing (1981). – Dave Diersen

I was eligible because I had 25 years of federal service – 13 with GAO, 9 with IRS, and 3 with the Post Office. They succeeded in forcing me to retire in 1997 just before their “offer” expired. If I had not succumbed, I would not have been eligible for regular retirement until 2003. Things that I did that helped me survive 1993-1997 include my a) earning a master’s degree in financial markets and trading in 1997, b) my becoming a Certified Forensic Accountant in 1997, Financial Services Auditor in 1996, Government Financial Manager in 1994, Fraud Examiner in 1990, Internal Auditor and licensed CPA in 1981, and CPA in 1979, and c) my earning master’s degrees in accounting from DePaul in 1980 and in business from Loyola in 1976.)

(FROM IRS: As a Revenue Officer, you will conduct tax related civil enforcement investigations, and will be trained in tax law, collection, and civil investigative techniques, to collect delinquent taxes and tax returns. Most of your work is in the field, where you will interact with taxpayers, taxpayer representatives, and third parties at their residences and/or places of business. You will protect taxpayers’ rights, counsel taxpayers on their obligations, and determine how to resolve tax delinquencies.)

BLACK PRESS
— In a historic step toward economic justice and accountability, Illinois State Representative Sonya Harper has introduced HB1227 to create the Enslavement Era Disclosure and Redress Act, marking a major milestone in the fight for reparative justice. This legislation means that any corporation or institution with ties to enslavement or the transatlantic slave trade discloses its historical involvement and provides redress if it wishes to do business with the State of Illinois. (COMMENT: Soon, if not already, Illinois Democrats will force everyone in Illinois to disclose their ties to enslavement or the transatlantic slave trade. All my ancestors immigrated during the 1840s and 1850s from what is now Germany. In their defense, they always lived in northeast Illinois. On my mother’s side, they sharecropped and then bought and operated a farm in Grant Park along the Indiana border. On my father’s side, they worked in a brick factory in Chicago, then homesteaded a farm in southeast Crete Township, then raised and sold horses just north of downtown Crete, and then operated Crete’s only hardware store.)

Pritzker ever-increasingly makes it clear that he is going to get rid of the 2.4 million in Illinois who voted for Trump. What makes you more vulnerable? The less money that you have, the more vulnerable that you are. The fewer who voted for Trump in your county, township, municipality, school district, and precinct, the more vulnerable that you are. In my precinct, only 373 voted for Trump, but 478 voted for Harris. – Dave Diersen

Democrat leaders want illegals because sooner or later, if not already, illegals vote for Democrats. RINOs want illegals because RINOs want cheap labor. – Dave Diersen

AMERICAN THINKER
— Donald Trump’s inauguration has revealed the existence of two realities inhabiting the same plane of existence. Normal Americans—largely but not exclusively Republicans—inhabit actual, objective, scientifically examined reality. Democrat/socialist/communist (D/s/c) reality is a Bizzarro World/backward existence where Normal American victims are aggressors and D/s/c aggressors are victims. It’s a world of self-delusion, raging, drooling, and terminal Trump Derangement Syndrome sufferers.

(FROM THE ARTICLE: The Trump administration fired another shot at “woke” influences in the federal government by targeting the display of Black Lives Matter and Pride flags. Newly-appointed State Department Secretary Marco Rubio issued an order establishing a “One Flag Policy” which prohibits the display of any flag other than the American flag on U.S. outposts on American soil and abroad.)

TASK & PURPOSE
— Two officers were fired for bucking their chain of command. Now they’re going to work at the Pentagon. Along with Trump’s nominee for defense secretary Pete Hegseth, both men have criticized military diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts, or DEI. (COMMENT: Since at least the 1960s, the federal government has been a Democrat Party patronage machine. Because I opposed their political affiliation discrimination, their reverse discrimination, and their age discrimination, and because I became an active member in a class action lawsuit in 1988 that charged them with reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation, my Democrat GAO superiors forced me to retire in 1997. Previously, they had delayed my promotions and never promoted me beyond GS-13, always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes, forced the GAO manager to retire in 1987 who had arranged for my transfer from IRS in 1980 and was finally able to assign me to audits of IRS and promote me in 1986, kept me off audits of IRS for all by 3 years (1986-1988) of the almost 18 years that I worked for GAO, and forced me to take a $23,472 pay cut (21%) in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980. Previously, because of my aforesaid opposition, my Democrat IRS superiors disallowed my travel vouchers in 1974, got rid of the IRS manager who had promoted me in 1972, 1973, and 1974, disallowed my education deductions in 1978, and never promoted me beyond GS-12. Previously, because of my aforesaid opposition, my Democrat Post Office superiors disallowed my sick leave requests in 1968 and 1969 and forced me to resign in 1969.)

REASON
— Hate-filled Trump-hating Trump-haters ever-increasingly hint/imply/argue/shout that Trump and everyone who voted for him are White supremacists, Nazis, KKK members, haters, racists, sexists, bigots, and even worse things who should be gotten rid of once and for all. Anticipate/expect that Pritzker will ever-increasingly get rid of the 2.4 million in Illinois who voted for Trump last year.
https://reason.com/volokh/2025/01/22/calling-someone-white-supremacist-in-online-debate-is-opinion/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Calling Someone “White Supremacist” in Online Debate Is Opinion and thus not actionable defamation, unless defendant “implies undisclosed facts by insinuating that the plaintiff” engaged in specific racist acts or made (undisclosed) racist statements. This is the standard view under American defamation law; it had in the past been applied to allegations of Communism, Socialism, etc., but more recently has often been applied to allegations of racism, sexism, white supremacy, etc.)

— I worked for the Democrats who ran the federal government for almost 30 years. Because they used Affirmative Action and DEI a) to hire, to retain, and to promote Democrats who were minority, female, and/or younger and b) to waste the careers of and to get rid of Republican employees, if I was still working for them and because of Trump’s recent DEI actions, they would kill me figuratively if mot literally. – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com
— Ever-increasingly, since the 1960s, the Democrats who run the federal government have used Affirmative Action and DEI a) to not hire Republicans and b) to get rid of their Republican employees. 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. If I had had a qualified coworker who was the aforesaid in 1986, my Democrat GAO superiors would have promoted her/him instead of me. If I had had qualified coworkers who were the aforesaid in 1972, 1973, and 1974, my Democrat IRS superiors would have promoted them instead of me. I doubt that GAO would have promoted me in 1986 if I had not a) passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt and became a licensed CPA in 1981, b) earned a master’s degree in accounting in 1980, c) worked for IRS 1971-1980 and the last 5 1/2 years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 Levels, currently $99,069-$112,280/year, d) passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, and e) earned an MBA in 1976. – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com
— According to my critics/opponents, federal jobs should be given to Democrats who are minority, female, younger, and/or veteran. My critics/opponents have always demonized me, denigrated me, and condemned me for becoming a federal employee and for staying a federal employee. Because of negative federal employee stereotypes, once you become a federal employee, it is very difficult if not impossible to get a job in the private sector. In my defense, I would not have become a postal employee when I was 18 years old in 1966 if my high school friend had not invited me to take the postal employment test and if I had not passed it. I would not have become an IRS employee in 1971 if had not been unemployed and needed a job to help support my mother and brother. My Firestone Store boss had rudely fired me because I had accepted a job offer from Oldsmobile. But Oldsmobile withdrew that offer because it had just agreed to stop hiring Whites to settle an EEOC complaint. I would not have become a GAO employee in 1980 if my IRS superiors had disallowed my travel vouchers in 1974, got rid of the IRS manager who had promoted me in 1972, 1973, and 1974, disallowed my education deductions in 1978, and made it clear that they would never promote me beyond GS-12. – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com
— Affirmative Action started out with giving preference to minorities and to females if they were equally qualified with Whites and men. But under the Democrats and under the RINOs, it soon evolved into ever-increasingly giving minorities and females more and more and more preference no matter what. All my coworkers who my Democrat superiors in the federal government promoted over me were Democrats who a) 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) were minority, female, younger than me, veteran, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or had ancestors who had not been in America for a long time. – Dave Diersen

Other cars that I own are: 1972 Chevy Corvette, 1996 Ford Thunderbird LX, 2005 Corvette, 2013 Dodge Charger R/T Max, 2019 Ford Escape Titanium, 2021 Malibu Premier, and 2023 Ford Mustang GT Premium. I have ordered a 2025 Dodge Charger Daytona R/T.

SEE: https://www.dodge.com/charger.html I own a 2013 Charger R/T Max and I owned a 1969 Charger SE 1968-1971 and a 1968 Charger R/T 1994-2005.)
https://www.autonews.com/manufacturing/automakers/an-dodge-charger-daytona-ev-review/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The electric muscle car era has officially arrived. Dodge is vrooming into electric vehicles with the Charger Daytona and a double shot of the brand’s bravado. The Charger Daytona is the launch vehicle for a new STLA Large platform from Stellantis. It’s designed to be a flexible, electric-native foundation that accommodates a variety of gasoline, electric and hybrid powertrains. While the Daytona is the brand’s first EV, Dodge executives say the mission remains the same: look, sound, handle and feel like a Dodge. That’s why Charger gasoline models, powered by 3.0-liter turbocharged inline 6 engines, will follow later this year. Charger models powered by electric motors will be designated by the Daytona badge. The Daytona is coming to market initially as a coupe, with a sedan to follow in the first quarter. Two models are launching at first: The 496-hp Daytona R/T priced from $61,590 with shipping, and the 670-hp Scat Pack priced from $75,185 with shipping. Both are equipped with a 100.5-kilowatt-hour battery and dual electric-motor drive. Dodge hopes to attract new consumers to the brand by offering standard all-wheel drive — enabled by a 400-volt system — on the Charger Daytona. We’ve collected some early reviews.)

https://www.chicagotribune.com/2025/01/20/hundreds-brave-frigid-temperatures-during-march-in-chicago-on-inauguration-day/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Championing a variety of causes including immigrant rights, support for Palestinians and protections for women’s reproductive and LGBTQIA rights, they gathered in Federal Plaza in the Loop to rally, then set off to march to Trump Tower across the river. Demonstrators carried posters reading “Free Palestine Now!,” “Stop the Trump Agenda,” “Immigrant rights and legalization for all” and calling for an end to “police crimes.” They chanted “Donald Trump you racist clown, the people will take you down,” and “No hate, no fear, immigrants are welcome here.” The rally was supported by a broad coalition of dozens of organizations, ranging from the National Alliance Against Racist and Political Repression to the Chicago Teachers Union, the U.S. Palestinian Community Network and the Illinois Coalition for Immigrant and Refugee Rights. Amid news reports that Immigration and Customs Enforcement raids would start Tuesday in Chicago, which Trump’s border czar appeared to walk back after the reports, representatives of the groups said they were united to defend their causes in the face of Trump’s “commitment to ramp up repression.”)

DAILY HERALD
— FRONT PAGE TOP OF FOLD WITH BIG PICTURE: Suburban Republicans in Washington for Trump’s inauguration
https://www.dailyherald.com/20250119/nation-and-world-politics/the-super-bowl-of-politics-suburban-republicans-in-washington-for-trumps-inauguration/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: With frigid temperatures expected in Washington, D.C., the inauguration of President-elect Donald Trump will take place indoors Monday in the Rotunda of the U.S. Capitol. It was a bit of a scramble, but Larisa Calvanese has her red ball gown, and she’s good to go. “I did not expect this,” the Downers Grove Republican said of her invitation to President-elect Donald Trump’s inauguration. “I’m just thrilled, honored and grateful.” Calvanese, a RNC 2024 alternate delegate, is among a contingent of suburban Trump supporters in Washington, D.C. for a long weekend of pomp and circumstance. Her trip plans include balls, a Sunday victory rally, plus the presidential parade and swearing-in ceremony Monday. “I’m looking forward to seeing Melania as first lady again, and just (seeing) the whole family; he’s got such a great family,” she said. After a bitter election, Calvanese is eagerly anticipating “being surrounded by Americans and celebrating America. “I hope people will give him a chance and give his policies a chance,” she said. While it’s Calvanese’s first inauguration, longtime GOP volunteer Joe Folisi is traveling to his fourth. The Schaumburg Township Republican committeeman ticked off the presidents he’s watched: “Ronald Reagan was my first. Then, George W. Bush. And then, the Trump one in 2017.” Folisi was a 2024 RNC delegate and believes “the mood of the country has changed for the better. I think it will be exciting and positive.” But attending an epoch-making event, isn’t all champagne and frivolity. “It’s tiring,” Folisi said. With the Secret Service cordoning off blocks around the event, attendees can’t just Uber up to the Capitol and guests undergo intense security screening. “There’s a tremendous amount of walking and standing,” and of course, “it will definitely be cold,” Folisi predicted. He plans to catch a ball or two, the victory rally and receptions hosted by Illinois Republicans and U.S. Rep. Darrin LaHood of Peoria. Trump 2.0 may be the end of Folisi’s inaugural streak. “I’m sure it’s going to be my last one,” he said. “Of course, I said that last time, too.” On Friday, Trump announced the swearing-in ceremony would move to the Capitol Rotunda because of the extreme cold in D.C. That isn’t fazing guests, Republican Party of Illinois Chair Kathy Salvi said. “The mood is jubilant and there are thousands of Illinoisans here, many of whom will brave the weather on the mall. Despite the weather, everybody is really pumped, joyful, and, after the last four years, relieved,” the Mundelein resident said. Salvi arrived in Washington midweek and spent time in meetings with national Republican organizers. “I’ve gotten a lot of congratulations on turning Illinois around in the right direction,” Salvi said. Trump lost Blue State Illinois to Vice President Kamala Harris by about 11 percentage points in November, compared to about 17 percentage points to President Joe Biden in 2020. Palatine Republican Aaron Del Mar attended Trump’s first inauguration in 2017. It’s “the Super Bowl of politics,” the Illinois Republican State Central Committee member explained. Del Mar’s 2025 agenda includes the Republican National Lawyers Association brunch, where attorney general nominee “Pam Bondi is going to be speaking and the whole Trump legal team … that should be interesting.” He also plans to catch receptions sponsored by the Republican Governors Association and Asian American conservative groups, a GOP cigar lounge, not to mention several balls, and the main event. “I’ve got a whole weekend planned of nonstop networking and celebration and fun,” Del Mar said. “It’s a Taylor Swift concert for Republicans.” Fun comes at a price, though, with hotel rooms costing around $1,500 and flights from Chicago at $800. Still, “to see it firsthand, and be there when it happens, is a really unique experience,” Del Mar said. “Regardless of what people’s feelings on President-elect Trump are, it’s part of history.” However, he won’t be experiencing that moment with his wife of many years, who happens to be a Democrat. Instead, accompanying the RNC 2024 delegate and former Illinois lieutenant governor candidate will be his oldest child, Konnor, 21. “I’m excited to share this with my son,” Del Mar said. Trump’s second swearing-in marks an inaugural trifecta for former Illinois National Committeeman Richard Porter. “It should be fun, if cold,” Porter of Winnetka said, quipping “wouldn’t it be great if we could do the inauguration as an away game in Miami?”)

The Democrats who run IRS and GAO promote Democrats and especially 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. To deal with that, I earned three job-related master’s degrees (1976, 1980, and 1997), six job-related professional certifications (1979, 1981, 1990, 1994, 1996, and 1997), and a job-related professional license (1981).)

— How public policy can cause harm (COMMENT: What public policy has caused you the most harm? For me, it is Affirmative Action (AA) and DEI. Because of my bad demographics, my critics/opponents have always used AA and DEI against me big time. I should write about that. I would focus on my Democrat superiors in the federal government. If there had been no AA or DEI, they would have promoted me into their Senior Executive Service long before I was 40 years old. Instead, they wasted my career and forced me to retire when I was 49 years old. I would focus on my RINO superiors in the Milton Township Republican Organization, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Illinois Republican Party. I would focus on the many big adverse actions that they have taken against me.)

(FROM THE AI POSTING: Unintended consequences: Public policies can have unintended consequences that harm the public, such as increased injuries from cycling to school. Inequitable distribution: Public policies can be designed in a way that disproportionately harms the most vulnerable groups. Policymakers who are not well-informed: Policymakers may not have the experience or knowledge to design interventions that are effective for all groups.)

FINANCIAL TIMES
— Americans are losing faith in four-year college degrees (COMMENT: According to my critics/opponents, degrees from non-Ivy League universities are worthless. I should write about my critics/opponents who have degrees from Ivy League universities and who have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me.)

PEW REACH CENTER
— Women are outpacing men in college completion, including in every major racial and ethnic group (COMMENT: Ever-increasingly, employers are under ever-increasing pressure to hire women, to retain women, and to promote women. The Democrats who ran GAO in 1980, IRS in 1971, Firestone Stores in 1970, and the Post Office in 1966 hired me because they could not find a qualified woman who would take the job. If I had qualified female coworkers in 1972, 1973, and 1974, my Democrat IRS superiors would have promoted them instead of me. If I had a qualified female coworker in 1986, my Democrat GAO superiors would have promoted her instead of me.)
