The Post Office hired me in 1966 because it could not find a qualified Democrat, minority, female, or veteran who would take the job.

GAO hired me in 1980 because it could not find a qualified Democrat, minority, female, younger person, or veteran who would take the job.

I would focus on those who stress that I was a union member for almost 12 years of the almost 30 years that I worked for the federal government. My Democrat superiors took many adverse actions against me. GAO did not unionize until 2007. I worked for GAO 1980-1997. Had GAO had been unionized, my Democrat GAO superiors might very well have not been able to a) force me to retire in 1997 when I was 49 years old, b) give me unfair performance expectations and appraisals, c) always rank me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes, d) not promote me beyond GS-13, e) get rid of my mentor in 1987, f) keep me off audits of IRS for all but 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for GAO, and g) force me to take a $20,361 (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980.)

According to my critics/opponents, I have more money than my peers a) because I have had better health than my peers, b) because I avoided the draft, c) because the federal government grossly overpaid me, d) because of my wife’s income, e) because we gave up trying to have children, we did not adopt, and we did not become foster parents, f) because my federal retirement benefits are too generous, g) because I do not give money to a church, h) etc. In my defense, I earned a) a job-related bachelor’s degree when I was 21 in 1970 and job-related master’s degrees when I was 27, 31, and 48, b) job-related professional certifications when I was 30, 32, 41, 45, 47, and 48, and c) a job-related professional license when I was 32. In my defense, I have always spent far less money on immediate pleasures than my peers and I have saved far more for my retirement than my peers.)

What unfair advantages in life have you had? According to my critics/opponents, my unfair advantages in life include a) my being born a White male, b) my parents being German American and Missouri Synod Lutheran (MSL), c) my parents raising me in Crete, d) my parents having me baptized, raising me, and having me confirmed as a MSL, e) my parents sending me to Trinity Lutheran Grade School in Crete 1953-19061 and then to Hope Lutheran Grade School in Park Forest 1961-1962 to stay with the Missouri Synod, f) my parents sending me to Crete-Monee High School 1962-1966, and g) my avoiding the draft. I should write a book about my critics/opponents. I would focus on those who have demonized, denigrated, and condemned the following the most: German Americans, MSLs, Crete during the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s, and my avoiding the draft.)

— OUTRAGEOUS: The Tunes of Glory Pipes and Drums will not march in Wheaton’s 2021 Independence Day Parade and it is still unclear if Wheaton’s high school bands will march in the parade. – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com
(THE ARTICLE: Since 2005, DuPage Republicans have donated $2,500/year to help sponsor Wheaton’s Independence Day parades and fireworks. But this year, outrageously, Wheaton stopped accepting sponsorships. For many years, $1,000 of the $2,500 DuPage Republican sponsorships was earmarked for the Tunes of Glory Pipes and Drums. But today, the band advised me that it would not be marching in the parade this year because Wheaton had not invited the band to march, and therefore, it accepted an invitation from Glen Ellyn to march in its parade. The band cannot march in both parades this year because not all of the band’s members are available to march in two parades back to back, and this year, Glen Ellyn’s parade starts at noon, only 1 hour after Wheaton’s parade starts. Wheaton should have contracted with the Tunes of Glory Pipes and Drums and the high school bands to march in Wheaton’s parade months ago with an escape clause if Pritzker banned the parade. Needless-to-say, anyone who tries to blame me for the Tunes of Glory Pipes and Drums not marching in Wheaton’s Independence Day Parade is wrong. Further, anyone who tries to blame me if the Wheaton North and/or Wheaton Warrenville South bands do not march in Wheaton’s Independence Day Parade is wrong.)

Most commonly, they reject the traditional marriage/family, right to life, immigration, illegal drugs, Second Amendment, and/or equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) planks. I should write a book about Republican activists, candidates, elected officials, and party leaders in Illinois, DuPage County, Milton Township, and Wheaton who talk and/or act like they seek and/or accept lots of money from major donors who reject the aforesaid planks. Of course, those major donors want to stop me from sending out GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters. Of course, those major donors want the Milton Township Republican Organization, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, Illinois Republican Party, Wheaton Chamber of Commerce, Wheaton Park District, Wheaton Warrenville School District 200, Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois to get rid of me. Everyone sees how the aforesaid organizations and governments treat me and treat my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters.)

In 1997, my GAO superiors acted like my Black subordinate, who was a CPA, had told them that he would leave GAO unless they got me to take their early retirement “offer” which ended September 30, 1997. They succeeded in forcing me to take that “offer” and they gave him my job and they gave him my preferred corner office.)

I should write a book about them. Better yet, I should sue them. I would focus on past and present leaders of the Milton Township Republican Organization, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, Illinois Republican Party, Wheaton Chamber of Commerce, Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, Illinois, TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois, and Illinois Center Right Coalition. I would focus on Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct since 2000, their major donors, their political consultants, their fundraisers, their campaign managers, their campaign staff members, and their campaign volunteers. I would focus on those who I have sued.)

— Lack of party support and money, plus racism and sexism, mean Black women often lose statewide elections. Research has found it is smart to invest in the candidacies of Black women. But one expert says because of their loyalty to the Democratic Party, in particular, there’s less incentive to court them. – Mabinty Quarshie

June 10 Morning Edition

ABC7
— JULY 4, 2016 FLASHBACK: Politicking at Independence Day parades (DIERSEN: Republicans who participated in Wheaton’s outstanding 2016 Independence Day Parade included: U.S. Senator Mark Kirk; Governor Bruce Rauner, First Lady Diana Rauner, and Lieutenant Governor Evelyn Sanguinetti; State Senator Mike Connelly and State Representative Jeanne Ives; State Representative Peter Breen; DuPage County Board candidate Tim Elliott, DuPage County Board members Grant Eckhoff and Amy Grant, and DuPage County Forest Preserve Commissioner Tim Whelan; and the Milton Township Republican Organization. Please thank those who helped promote/sponsor the parade and the fireworks: Bob Berlin, Peter Breen, Liam Brennan, Fred Bucholz, Mike Connelly, Tim Elliott, Amy Grant, Gwen Henry, Jeanne Ives, Richard Jorgensen, Chris Kachiroubas, Mark Kirk, Brian Krajewski, Bob Lyon, Deanne Mazzochi, James Mendrick, Chris Nybo, Peter Roskam, Darlene Ruscitti, Phil Suess, Tim Whelan, and Jim Zay. SEE: https://gopillinois.com/uncategorized/july-4-evening-edition/ )
https://abc7chicago.com/politics/politicking-at-independence-day-parades/1413028/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: In Republican-rich Wheaton, one guy yelled at Governor Bruce Rauner to balance the state’s budget. “Balance the budget! Balance the budget!” yelled Buzz Ruttenberg at the governor. “I blame everyone, but he is the leader and when the ship is sinking you look to the captain,” said Ruttenberg when asked who he blamed for the Illinois budget crisis. ABC7 Eyewitness News spoke with a Wheaton resident Kahty Corniels who was trying to deliver a message to the governor via a sign saying, “No budget; no votes.” “I think he saw it. I don’t think he wants to make eye contact with me,” said Corniels. “I’m just tired of it. These are adults. We elected them and they can’t even make a decision on how to run the state.” The governor wasn’t much into straying from the script today. “Do you hear from people as you march about what’s going on in Springfield about the budget?” ABC7 Eyewitness News reporter Ben Bradley asked the governor. “No, today we celebrate the independence of America,” said Rauner. Nationally, Hillary Clinton had several supporters marching in Wheaton’s parade, but next to no one showed up on Donald Trump’s behalf, despite the fact the county is overwhelmingly Republican. Then again, the state’s GOP senator has said he won’t vote for Trump. “You were the first to come out and say Trump is unfit. Does that mean you’re voting for Hillary Clinton?” Bradley asked Illinois Republican Sen. Mark Kirk. “No, David Petraeus is who I’d like to write-in. I think he’s better qualified. We need someone who will be the best commander-in-chief we’ve ever had,” said Sen. Kirk.)
— 2nd Drag March for Change Chicago planned for Sunday – Will Jones (DIERSEN: Ever-increasingly, Democrats promote BLM and LGBTQ.)
https://abc7chicago.com/community-events/chicago-drag-queens-planning-2nd-blm-march-/10768191/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: After the murder of George Floyd last year Jo MaMa organized the Drag March for Change. “I was just like let’s do this. Let’s get all my drag brothers and sisters together and try to make a change,” they said. The march brought thousands of people together on the North Side in support of the Black Lives Matter movement. MaMa is now organizing another march Sunday afternoon beginning at Belmont and Halsted. “We are still being shot down in the streets. We are still being treated as second class citizens and now people are paying attention. There really seems to be hope,” they said. This year organizers are pushing for cutting the Chicago Police Department budget and investing more in social services and community programs. They also want uniformed police officers banned at Pride festivities. Organizers said it’s important for members of the LGBTQI+ community to speak up about racial injustices. “We have always been the trailblazers. We have always been the front runners. We are the ones that shake things up and make the change. We are also extremely creative,” MaMa said. Tatyana Chante, who is one the Drag March for Change organizers, said that bringing about change takes time. “I’m hoping that people realize last year wasn’t just a one off, one and done,” he said. “This is a continuation. This is going to take work.” MaMa said drag is not required for the march and all allies are welcome to participate.)

The Democrats who run the federal government require all their employees to take lots of diversity training. I worked for the Democrats who ran the federal government for almost 30 years. I should write a book about all the diversity training that I took. That training hinted/implied/argued/shouted that Republicans are White supremacists, Nazis, KKK members, haters, racists, sexists, bigots, and even worse things who should gotten rid of once and for all. That helps explain why federal employees who are Democrat do not want to work for, work with, or supervise federal employees who are Republican. Virtually all federal employees are Democrats.)
