CAPITOL NEWS ILLINOIS
— No one wants bad jobs. Because all the jobs that I had were viewed as being bad jobs, all my superiors had a hard time recruiting and retaining qualified minorities and females. Because of Affirmative Action and DEI, qualified minorities and females could get better jobs elsewhere. Consequently, my superiors ever-increasingly a) lowered their hiring, retention, and promotion standards and b) gave their minority and female employees more preference. That ever-increasingly rendered worthless my job-related bachelor’s degree, my three job-related master’s degrees, my six job-related professional certifications, and my job-related professional license. It all culminated in my superiors replacing me with my Black subordinate when I was 49 years old in 1997. He had less work experience than I had, less education than I had, one professional certification while I had six, and no professional license like the one I had.

I should write about my critics/opponents. I would focus on those who I have done the most to help elect and to reelect.

Because I was none of the aforesaid, no Democrat leader stood with me when Republican Gingrich gutted GAO during the 1980s and 1990s. Democrat leaders were overjoyed when my Democrat GAO superiors forced me to retire and replaced me in 1997 with my Democrat Black subordinate who had less work experience than I had, had less education than I had, had one professional certification while I had six, and had no professional license like the one I had. It is called patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination.

(FROM THE ARTICLE: The truth is, government doesn’t work without the professionals who show up every day to serve the public. Effectiveness depends on more than elected officials or public leaders. It requires the daily efforts of those working quietly behind the scenes. Their roles are rarely glamorous or celebrated, yet they perform them diligently because they believe in something bigger than themselves.

THE HILL
— The NextGen Bar Exam is DEI in action, dangerously lowering standards. Every time that Democrat and RINO leaders lower standards, my having done the following means more. I passed the CPA and Certified Internal Auditor examinations on my first attempt. I became a licensed CPA. I earned four more job-related professional certifications. I earned three job-related master’s degrees. I earned a job-related bachelor’s degree.
https://thehill.com/opinion/education/5359119-the-nextgen-bar-exam-is-dei-in-action-dangerously-lowering-standards/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The American legal profession is in crisis, and the NextGen Bar Exam is the latest symptom of a disease that’s rapidly metastasizing: the abandonment of merit in favor of ideological box-checking. For decades, the bar exam was the last line of defense — a rigorous filter ensuring that only those with real legal chops could represent the public. Today, that filter is being shredded, sacrificed on the altar of equity and inclusion. The result? A collapse in standards, the death of meritocracy, and a profession on the brink of irrelevance. The NextGen Bar Exam, set to roll out in 2026, is not about modernizing legal education or making better lawyers. It is about making the exam easier to pass. Out go the demanding essays and complex legal analysis; in come more multiple-choice questions and “practical” scenarios that test little more than common sense and the ability to regurgitate buzzwords. The new mantra is “minimal competence,” a phrase so hollow as to be meaningless. The new system benefits neither clients, who deserve skilled and well-prepared advocates, nor the public, who depend on lawyers to guide them through a complex legal system. The only winners are bureaucrats and activists obsessed with “equity.” And even then, this is not to say that the new bar somehow guarantees equality of opportunity. Rather, it tries to force equality of outcome, no matter how much the universal bar must be lowered in the process. In truth, the NextGen Bar Exam is DEI ideology in action. By blaming the bar exam itself, rather than differences in preparation or effort, for unequal pass rates among various groups, the legal establishment has chosen to lower the standards until everyone passes. This is neither fairness nor justice, but the soft bigotry of low expectations, institutionalized. DEI has become a Trojan horse, smuggling mediocrity into the heart of the legal profession. Instead of demanding that all aspiring lawyers rise to meet high standards, the system now bends over backward to ensure that the standards themselves are erased. The message is clear: merit is out, identity is in. The legal profession was once a meritocracy. It didn’t matter where you came from or what you looked like — if you could master the law, you could make it. That’s what made American law great — it consisted of the best and brightest, tested and proven. Now, that ideal is being tossed aside. The NextGen Bar Exam is just the latest example, following major formatting changes to the LSAT to “reduce anxiety” and the proliferation of alternative “pathways” to licensure that bypass rigorous testing altogether. This isn’t just a legal education problem. It is a societal problem. When we stop rewarding excellence and start rewarding box-checking, we get a weaker, less competent, and less trustworthy profession. As a result, we end up with lawyers who lack essential skills in writing, reasoning, and effective advocacy, in turn, undermining the credibility of our justice system. If this trend continues, the outcome is inevitable: Clients will find themselves represented by lawyers who only managed to pass a watered-down exam. Our courts will be overwhelmed by incompetence, and the already fragile reputation of the legal profession will deteriorate further. Those who will suffer most are everyday Americans — people who need legal help, not just a participation trophy. The legal profession must wake up before it’s too late. Reform is acceptable and necessary when things are made better. But what’s happening now is not reform, it is surrender. Surrender to ideology and mediocrity. Surrender to the idea that the only way to achieve “equity” is to undermine true merit. The NextGen Bar Exam is a disaster in the making. It is time for lawyers, judges, educators, and the public to speak out and demand a return to merit, rigor, and excellence. The fate of the legal profession and the trust of those it serves now hang in the balance.)

— APRIL 3, 2015 FLASHBACK: Would the government have hired you in 1956? IRS offered me a job when I was 22 years old in 1971 because I had taken and passed the Federal Service Entrance Examination in 1970. IRS would have offered me the job sooner if I had been a veteran.

(FROM TRHE ARTICLE: The old civil service exam was introduced in 1955, a proctored, pencil-and-paper test that thousands of Americans took each year to get federal jobs. It was called the Federal Service Entrance Examination. A brochure called “Futures in the Federal Government” opened with these words: “Wanted: People of Promise” and urged Americans to take the exam. Starting salaries were listed at $4,040. The civil service exam is making a comeback. The old test was eventually thrown out after legal challenges found that it discriminated against minority groups, who did poorly.)

ALL GOVERNMENT
— APRIL 7, 2015 FLASHBACK: U.S. Government Brings Back Civil Service Exams after 34-Year Gap. IRS offered me a job when I was 22 years old in 1971 because I had taken and passed the Federal Service Entrance Examination in 1970. IRS would have offered me the job sooner if I had been a veteran.
http://www.allgov.com/news/unusual-news/us-government-brings-back-civil-service-exams-after-34-year-gap-150407?news=856171
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Joining the federal workforce these days can involve doing something other federal workers haven’t had to do since the early 1980s: take a test. The federal government abolished the civil service exam in 1981 following multiple discrimination lawsuits that claimed the test was biased against minorities. But with so many people applying to become federal employees, some agencies decided to bring back the civil service exam, albeit in a much newer and modern format that tries to avoid being unfair to blacks and Hispanics. About 10% of would-be bureaucrats at three dozen government agencies—including the departments of Defense, Justice, and Health and Human Services—will take the USA Hire test that utilizes “animated avatars and videos to simulate challenges that could confront employees, testing their reasoning and problem-solving skills,” Lisa Rein wrote at The Washington Post. “Advances in technology allow the tests to scale questions; a correct answer leads to a harder question and an incorrect one ratchets down to an easier option. Scoring is instantaneous, an advance that can quickly winnow the pool of applicants,” Rein said. The test is designed to gauge an applicant’s general aptitude as well as teamwork, problem solving, judgment and specific job skills. Civil service exams originated in 1955 as the Federal Service Entrance Examination. At that time, starting salaries for federal employment were $4,040.)

BUSINESS INSIDER
— Accounting is a fast track to an upper-middle-class life. My not majoring in accounting at UIC 1966-1968 and at NIU 1969-1970 was a tremendous career mistake. I wrongly thought that I could never pass the CPA examination. Even though I did not start taking graduate evening accounting courses until 1976, I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979. I earned a master’s degree in accounting in 1980. I passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981. I became a licensed CPA in 1981. But by then, the accounting profession saw me as being far too old to have a successful career in accounting.
https://www.businessinsider.com/cpa-jobs-millennial-accounting-great-career-path-comfortable-life-2024-12
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Accounting classes were actually fun because what I was doing finally made sense. I enjoyed the material and liked my classmates. Since I switched my major after my freshman year, I caught up on the credits I’d need to eventually get a CPA license by taking extra classes over the summer and winter breaks. During my sophomore and junior years, I interned with a tax firm and a CPA firm doing bookkeeping and tax work. The internships were interesting and helpful. At bigger firms, interns might get assigned to scanning client documents and other repetitive tasks, but I worked at smaller firms and was able to see the majority of the tax process from start to finish. After I graduated with a B.S. in accounting in 2017, I took a job with a local CPA firm in Oklahoma City. . .I joined a national firm doing tax work in 2018. I got my CPA license the following year because the company paid for part of my testing fees. Getting a CPA license isn’t mandatory for accountants — I know plenty of accountants without licenses who’ve had successful careers — but it’s still considered the gold standard for accounting and I knew it’d help me move up in my career. Later that year, I job-hopped to another local CPA firm and worked in a client-facing position doing tax and accounting work. In 2021, I got a job with the federal government as an IRS agent. In May 2023, I left the IRS to join a different agency, where I still work, and the following month I launched my own CPA practice. . .Almost every time I job-hopped, I got around a 20% pay bump, a title increase, and a better work-life balance. I feel comfortable and happy with my life.)
FED WEEK
— Have you ever taken a pay cut? I did. I took a $23,472/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO when I was 31 years old in 1980. My Democrat IRS superiors had made it clear that they would never promote me to GS-13, currently $117,807/year, even though I had earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976 and I had passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979. I finally made GS-13 at GAO in 1986, but I would not have if I had not earned a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980, passed the Certified Internal Auditor Examination on my first attempt in 1981, and became a licensed CPA in 1981. I should write about my IRS and GAO coworkers who my Democrat superiors promoted over me. They all were Democrats a) who had less wok 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 who were minority, female, younger than me, and/or veteran.
https://www.fedweek.com/retirement-financial-planning/my-federal-career-was-it-a-good-decision-to-leave-the-private-sector/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: I began my federal career in 1985. My starting salary with a Master’s Degree was $21,804. I was taking a 12,000 dollar pay cut to begin my federal career. This 35 percent salary pay cut was mind-blowing. My friends and co-workers laughed at me and told me that it was a horrible mistake working for the government especially for such a large pay cut. My intuition told me that it was not a mistake and I was prepared to take a step backward in order to take a giant step forward. My vision of a federal career was that I saw growth and opportunity. The hospital continued to suffer with several other mergers and today it has been leveled to an empty parking lot.)

SHAW LOCAL
— Ex-dairy owner Jim Oberweis to fundraise in Kane County Sunday for Florida Congressional run. But local GOP chief would like to keep political money in Illinois: ‘I’m concerned with Kane County, not with Naples, Florida.’
https://www.shawlocal.com/news/2025/06/21/ex-dairy-owner-jim-oberweis-to-fundraise-in-kane-county-sunday-for-florida-congressional-run/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Former Illinois State Sen. Jim Oberweis is returning to Kane County for a fundraiser to support his run for Congress in Florida’s 19th District. Oberweis, formerly of Sugar Grove, is running in the 2026 Republican primary seat on Florida’s southern Gulf Coast being vacated by Byron Donalds in the 2026 primary election. The fundraiser is from 5 to 6:30 p.m. Sunday at the Dunham Woods Riding Club, 33W333 Army Trail Road in Wayne, according to the invitation. According to the invitation, the guest speaker will be Corey Brooks, known as Chicago’s “Rooftop Pastor,” who delivered a prayer at the 2024 Republican National Convention in Milwaukee. Individual tickets for the Oberweis fundraiser are $250, available through RSVP@VoteJimO.com. No one from the campaign could be reached for comment. (COPY OF THE INVITATION) Even though he received an invitation, Kane County GOP Chairman Andro Lerario said he isn’t going. “With all due respect to Jim Oberweis – I like him, he’s a nice man – I’m concerned with Kane County, not with Naples, Florida,” Lerario said. “My issue is, he’s running for a position in Florida,” Lerario said. “I’ve already gone through two different situations in our party where, during the last election year, we had our own people do fundraisers in Kane County for Kari Lake and General [Michael] Flynn.” Lake lost her bid to represent Arizona in the U.S. Senate and Flynn was raising money for a conservative nonprofit, America’s Future. Both fundraisers were held last year in St. Charles, records show. “These were very successful. Then they left Kane County,” Lerario said. “I don’t need another fundraiser that is going to take money out of Kane County when I have enough issues going on here. Do it in that state or that county, not here. With all due respect, we could use the money.” Oberweis, aside from being famous for ice cream, is also known for losing more elections than he has won. He lost a bid for the Illinois 14th Congressional District to Democrat Lauren Underwood in 2020. In 2008, Oberweis lost twice to Democrat Bill Foster, first in a special election for the remainder of J. Dennis Hastert’s seat and then in the general election. In 2006, Oberweis lost the GOP primary for Illinois governor. In 2002 and 2004, he lost Republican primaries in Illinois for U.S. Senate. In 2012, Oberweis won for the 25th District seat in the Illinois Senate and served two terms. In 2014, he won the GOP primary for U.S. Senate, but lost in the general election to incumbent U.S. Sen. Dick Durbin, who recently announced he won’t seek reelection next year. Last year, the dairy that bears Oberweis’ family name filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. He had left the company in 2007 when he passed Oberweis Dairy on to his son.)
NPR ILLINOIS
— Trump’s makeover of the Civil Service has made it easier to fire federal employees. For Democrat leaders, the federal government exists to hire, retain, and promote Democrats, and especially Democrats who are minority, female, younger, and/or veteran. For Democrat leaders, federal employees are their Patronage Army. 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. They gambled that I would become a Democrat, but I refused to do that. I carried out their orders to give preference to my Democrat subordinates, virtually all of whom were minority, female, younger than me, and/or veteran. But because I ever-increasingly complained about their political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination, they ever-increasingly took more and bigger adverse actions against me. I should write a book about the aforesaid.
https://www.nprillinois.org/2025-06-21/trumps-makeover-of-the-civil-service-has-made-it-easier-to-fire-people-critics-say
(FROM THE ARTICLE: President Trump is changing long-standing norms around how the government hires and fires people, including by trying to turn tens of thousands of federal workers into at-will employees. President says it’s part of making the government more accountable. His critics contend that he is politicizing the civil service.)

— Duckworth said Trump’s actions were illegal. GAO works for Congress. Democrats ran GAO’s Chicago Office while I worked them 1980-1997. If I was still working for them, because of this bombing, they would have had my Jewish superior and supervisor kill me figuratively if not literally.

(FROM THE ARTICLE: “The Trump Administration illegally bombed Iran tonight, putting American troops and citizens at risk of retaliation and threatening to draw us into yet another Middle East war without Constitutionally-required Congressional approval. I have long said Iran cannot obtain a nuclear weapon. But this goal could and should have been pursued through diplomatic means first,” wrote Duckworth.

— New federal pension system would put more burden on new employees. I worked for the federal government 1966-1969 and 1971-1997. Federal employees hired before 1989 were under the Civil Service Retirement System (CSRS) . Those hired after 1989 are under the less generous Federal Employees Retirement System (FERS). That ever-increasingly made FERS employees resent, despise, if not hate CSRS employees. I should write about that.
https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/news/new-federal-pension-system-could-put-more-burden-on-new-employees/ar-AA1Gb6ip
— For Democrat leaders, the federal government exists to hire, retain, and promote Democrats, and especially Democrats who are minority, female, younger, and/or veteran. For Democrat leaders, federal employees are their Patronage Army. 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. They gambled that I would become a Democrat, but I refused to do that. I carried out their orders to give preference to my Democrat subordinates, virtually all of whom were minority, female, younger than me, and/or veteran. But because I ever-increasingly complained about their political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination, they ever-increasingly took more and bigger adverse actions against me. I should write a book about the aforesaid.
https://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/world/trump-essay-writing-test-is-new-sordid-strategy-to-obliterate-enemies-report/ar-AA1GNZ3T
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Donald Trump is bulldozing through decades of nonpartisan federal employment protections in a brazen attempt to transform the entire government workforce into a cadre of personal loyalists, according to alarmed federal workers and public service watchdogs. The authoritarian makeover would obliterate longstanding precedent requiring federal hiring and promotion based on qualifications and experience—replacing it with ideological purity tests that prioritize devotion to Trump over competence or constitutional duty. “These employees could be replaced with partisan loyalists — people who will obey any order, regardless of the Constitution,” warned Joe Spielberger of the Project on Government Oversight, told the Washington Post. “This elevates loyalty to an individual president over the oath of office and the best interests of the public.” Trump’s radical restructuring includes forcing new federal workers to accept easily-fired “at-will” status or pay higher retirement contributions. Even more disturbing, job applicants must now write essays explaining how they’ll advance Trump’s personal agenda—a chilling loyalty test reminiscent of authoritarian regimes. The administration’s “Merit Hiring Plan” requires candidates to answer: “How would you help advance the President’s Executive Orders and policy priorities in this role?” the Post reported. The article added that federal workers are horrified by the transparent political screening. “That memo details this administration’s sordid strategy to turn a nonpartisan federal workforce into a merry band of MAGA loyalists,” said Aisha Coffey, an FDA communications specialist who was fired and is now on administrative leave. “The directive is clear: The civil service is to serve the president, first and foremost, and the American population last.”

BLOOMBERG
— House GOP Drafts Cuts to Federal Employee Pension System. According to critics/opponents, my Civil Service Retirement System (CSRS) pension (currently $66,780/year) is much too generous. They decry that it would be even higher if my Democrat superiors a) had not forced me to retire when I was 49 years old in 1997, b) had not delayed my promotions and never promoted me beyond GS-13, and c) had not forced me to resign when I was 20 years old in 1969. They remain furious that I got full-time CSRS credit while I worked for the Park Forest Post Office 1966-1969 while I worked only part-time and that I got CSRS credit for my unused sick days. In my defense, while I worked for the federal government, I earned a job-related bachelor’s degree, three job-related master’s degrees, six job-related professional certifications, and a job-related professional license.

In addition, with the aforesaid salaries and then earning a GS-4 Step 3 salary (currently $20.67/hour) part-time for 7 months and full-time for 3 months, I paid my UIC expenses 1966-1968 and my NIU expenses in 1969 and 1970 and graduated debt-free in August of 1970 owning that Charger.

My White male coworkers who got promoted over me were Democrats who promoted Affirmative Action, DEI, and the veterans preference big time, that is, they promoted race and gender based preference giving, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, religious discrimination, national origin discrimination, and the veterans preference big time. I should write about my White male coworkers who got promoted over me. They had less work experience than I had. They had less education than I had.

https://wirepoints.org/six-questions-gov-pritzker-should-have-been-asked-during-his-testimony-on-illinois-sanctuary-status-wirepoints/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: 1. How do you justify spending more than $1.5 billion of Illinois taxpayers’ dollars on healthcare for illegal immigrants when Chicago has the highest black poverty rate in the country among the nation’s biggest cities? . . . 2. How do you justify spending hundreds of millions, if not billions, on illegal, non-English-speaking children at Chicago Public Schools when the school district is already junk-rated, faces a billion-dollar deficit and has just 21% of black students able to read at grade level? . . . 3. How can you justify allowing illegals with violent criminal histories to come to our state when Chicago has led the country in total murders for 13 years in a row and had the highest murder rate among the nation’s 20 biggest cities in 2024? . . . 4. How do you justify the billions spent on illegal migrants when Illinoisans already pay the nation’s highest property taxes, the 2nd-highest gas taxes and the highest cell phone taxes. Kiplinger ranks Illinois third in the nation in its list of “least tax-friendly states for middle-class families.” . . . 5. How do you justify burdening Chicagoans with the billions in costs of caring for illegal migrants when the Chicago area is already struggling to grow its economy? The metro area’s real GDP has only grown 4% since you took office, the worst among the nation’s 15 biggest metro areas. . . 6. How do you justify allowing in tens of thousands of illegal migrants who will struggle to find work when Illinois’ unemployment rate was the nation’s 4th-highest in 2024 and Chicago’s black community is struggling with an unemployment rate of 12.3% – the highest among the nation’s 15 biggest cities?)
GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— Democrat and RINO leaders ever-increasingly stress that Americans ever-increasingly fail/refuse to take bad jobs. I did yard work 1962-1964, delivered newspapers 1962-1966, washed dishes 1964-1966, cleaned golf shoes, chipped slag, and pumped gasoline in 1966, delivered mail 1966-1969, worked on an automobile assembly line in 1970, etc. My critics/opponents did not have to take bad jobs. Their parents bought them cars, paid for their college expenses, and got them jobs. The bad jobs that I had enabled me to a) buy a 1958 Chevrolet Bel Air in 1964, b) buy a new 1966 Pontiac Tempest Sprint in 1966, c) pay for my UIC expenses 1966-1968, d) buy a new 1968 Oldsmobile 442 in 1967, e) buy new 1969 Dodge Charger SE in 1968, f) pay for my NIU expenses 1969-1970, etc. – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com
— What did you do to qualify yourself for better paying jobs? I earned a job-related bachelor’s degree from NIU when I was 21 in 1970. I earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976. I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979. I earned a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980. I passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981. I became a licensed CPA in 1981. I earned four more job-related professional certifications in 1990, 1994, 1996, and 1997. I earned a master’s degree in financial markets and trading from IIT in 1997. – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com
— Who did you have to compete against to get hired and promoted? I did not have to compete directly against illegals. But because of political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, religious discrimination, and national origin discrimination, I had to compete directly against Democrats, minorities, females, younger people, veterans, non-Protestants, non-German Americans, and those whose ancestors had not been in America for a long time. All my coworkers who were promoted over me were many, most, if not virtually all of the aforesaid. They had less work experience than I 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. – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com
— How strongly do your critics/opponents despise/hate Trump? My critics/opponents have always been anti-Trump, if not Trump-haters. Since 2015, they have demonized me, denigrated me, and condemned me as being a Trump supporter. They had their operatives and their dupes a) gerrymander my precinct in 2015, b) end my role as the Republican fundraiser for Wheaton Independence Day parades and fireworks in 2021, and c) end my membership on the Illinois Republican Party Platform and Resolutions Committee in 2024. They have ever-increasingly discouraged everyone from reading my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters. Of course, they stress that I share so many demographics with Trump: conservative, Republican, White, male, older, married, non-poor, draft avoider, Protestant, German American, and our ancestors have been in America for a long time. – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com
— According to Democrat and RINO leaders, if those who are conservative, Republican, White, male, older, non-poor, non-veteran, Protestant, German American, and/or have ancestors who have been in America for a long time do better than those who are not the aforesaid, it is because they have benefitted from discrimination against those who are not the aforesaid. I passed both the CPA and Certified Internal Auditor examinations on my first attempt. Only about 20% who take the examinations can say that. In my defense, those who took the examinations with me shared many if not most of my demographics. That means, to be consistent, that according to Democrat and RINO leaders, I overcame tremendous competition. Further, I became a licensed CPA. Very few CPAs become licensed CPAs. Again, licensed CPAs share many if not most of my demographics. Again, that means, to be consistent, that according to Democrat and RINO leaders, I overcame tremendous competition. – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com
— Who wants you to pay more taxes? My critics/opponents have always wanted me to pay more taxes. They stress that I avoided the Vietnam War draft, that I was a federal employee for almost 30 years including almost 9 years working for IRS, that I paid less federal income tax by itemizing, that my wife had good jobs, that we gave up trying to have children, and that we saved lots for our retirement. I should write about my critics/opponents. – Dave Diersen

They had less work experience than I 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.

— According to Democrat and RINO leaders, if those who are conservative, Republican, White, male, older, non-poor, non-veteran, Protestant, German American, and/or have ancestors who have been in America for a long time do better than those who are not the aforesaid, it is because they have benefitted from discrimination against those who are not the aforesaid. I passed both the CPA and Certified Internal Auditor examinations on my first attempt. Only about 20% who take the examinations can say that. In my defense, those who took the examinations with me shared many if not most my demographics. That means, to be consistent, that according to Democrat and RINO leaders, I overcame tremendous competition. Further, I became a licensed CPA. Very few CPAs become licensed CPAs. Again, licensed CPAs share many if not most of my demographics. Again, that means, to be consistent, that according to Democrat and RINO leaders, I overcame tremendous competition.

In my defense, I paid 7% of my federal salary into the CSRS. In my defense, if my Democrat GAO superiors had not forced me to retire, I might still be working for GAO and paying into the CSRS. Constructively, so far, in today’s dollars, my Democrat GAO superiors have forced CSRS to pay me $1.85 million to stop me from working for GAO.

To break this down further, you’d need to earn about $66,178 per month, or about $15,272 per week, to be in the top 1% of income earners. . .Here’s how much you need to make to be in the top 5% and the top 10% in America: Top 5% income threshold: $352,773 Top 10% income threshold: $148,812 As you can see, earning just under $150,000 puts you in the top 10% of all wage earners in the U.S. This doesn’t put you in the elite class of top 1% earners, but you make more, on average, than 90% of American households.)

In my defense, I earned a) a job-related bachelor’s degree when I was 21, b) job-related master’s degrees when I was 27, 31, and 48, c) job-related professional certifications when I was 30, 32, 41, 45, 47, and 48, and d) a job-related professional license when I was 32. I should write about my critics/opponents. I would focus on those whose parents a) bought them cars, b) paid their college expenses, and/or c) got them jobs.

— Socialism. If my teachers had been Democrats, that is, if they had been socialists, they would have convinced me that my top priority to advance was not to earn job-related college degrees, professional certifications, or licenses, but instead to be Democrat, to vote for Democrat candidates, to promote the Democrat Party platform, and to help elect Democrat candidates.

— FRONT PAGE TOP OF FOLD WITH PICTURE IN NAPERVILLE SUN: DuPage GOP to launch vote-by-mail pilot program to combat Democratic strides
https://www.chicagotribune.com/2025/06/12/dupage-naperville-republican-democrat-vote-mail/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: To date, significantly more Democratic primary voters are on the county’s permanent vote-by-mail list, DuPage County Chief Deputy Clerk Adam Johnson. As of Wednesday, there was a total of 98,413 voters on the county’s permanent vote-by-mail list, according to Johnson. That number divides into voters who have opted to receive mail-ballots for general elections only and those who have requested to also receive primary ballots, he said. The latter is how the county can glean the partisan divide in its vote-by-mail program as voters must request either a Democratic or Republican primary ballot. Current numbers show that 47,110 Democratic primary voters have signed up for the program compared to 19,525 Republican voters, Johnson said. Those totals have also grown since the 2022 primary election, which was the first in which the permanent vote-by-mail program was offered. In 2022, there were 20,482 Democratic primary voters compared to 8,009 Republican voters.)

— Chicago’s Springfield delegation socks it to the city’s taxpayers with reckless pension bill. Who do you know who is in line to get a pension or is getting a pension? Ever-increasingly, they are demonized, denigrated, and condemned. I got in line for a Civil Service Retirement System (CSRS) pension when I was 18 in 1966. I have been getting a CSRS pension since I was 49 in 1997. In my defense, I paid 7% of my federal salary into the CSRS. In my defense, if my Democrat GAO superiors had not forced me to retire, I might still be working for GAO and paying into the CSRS. Constructively, so far, in today’s dollars, my Democrat GAO superiors have forced CSRS to pay me $1.85 million to stop me from working for GAO.

— If ICE raids persist, there will be ‘nobody’ left to nanny the children and mow the lawns. If there had been as many illegals when I was young as there are now, they would have gotten the jobs that I got. I did yard work, delivered newspapers, washed dishes, cleaned golf shoes, chipped slag, pumped gasoline, etc. My critics/opponents cannot say that. Their parents bought them cars, paid their college expenses, got them jobs, etc. I had to work my way through college. I should write about my critics/opponents.

I was one of that last Republicans IRS hired in 1971 when I was 22. If I had been a Democrat, IRS would have promoted me into its Senior Executive Service before I was 40 notwithstanding my late start. I earned an MBA when I was 27. I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt when I was 30. I earned a master’s degree in accounting when I was 31. I passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt when I was 32. I became a licensed CPA when I was 32.
