After my Democrat GAO superiors forced me to retire, a low level Democrat GAO Personnel Office employee hinted that he might be able to get me reinstated. But my Democrat GAO superiors had made it clear that if did not retire, they would make the next 6 years until I would be eligible for regular retirement a living hell for me. They promised to demote me and to give me adverse transfers, bad job assignments, unfair performance expectations and evaluations, and even worse things. They could easily do that because GAO was not unionized.

FORBES
— The Workplace Gap: Supporting Parents Of School-Aged Children. I should write about my Democrat GAO superiors. They all had children. They all strongly decried the significant time and cost needed to raise their children. Their spouses had limited or no earning potential. According to them, because my wife and I did not have children, we had tremendous unfair advantages over them. According to them, if my wife and I had children, a) I never would have been able to pass the CPA or Certified Internal Auditor examinations, become a licensed CPA, earn master’s degrees in accounting or finance, or earn four more job-related professional certifications and b) my wife never would have been able to earn a bachelor’s degree in finance or earn as much money as she did. Further, according to them, we never would have been able to have a home built, buy collector cars, etc.

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Alumni of Wheaton College concerned about the school’s alleged leftward drift recently singled out a philosophy professor at the school as an example of liberalism seeping into the flagship Evangelical institution. Nathan Cartagena, Ph.D., who has been an assistant professor of philosophy at Wheaton College since 2018, has repeatedly exhibited “left-wing racial politics laundered through a patina of ‘Christianese,'” according to an analysis of his writings posted on the website “For Wheaton.” Educated at Grove City College, Texas A&M University and Baylor University, Cartagena’s profile asserts that he specializes in Thomas Aquinas, civil rights activist James Baldwin, Critical Race Theory, military ethics, “Evangélic@ Theology,” and Christian pedagogy.)

If you asked the leaders of your Republican township and county party organizations and the leaders of the Illinois Republican Party why Republican candidates lost, what would they say? What impact will April 1, 2025 Republican losses have on the November 3, 2026 election? How strongly will qualified Republicans be discouraged to run? – Dave Diersen

But they attribute my successes to my benefitting from discrimination against those who share their demographics. My critics/opponents are liberal/moderate, minority, female, younger, veteran, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or have ancestors who have not been in America for a long time. In my defense, my parents never attended college. My father was only the first of my ancestors to earn a high school diploma. My mother never attended high school. I had to work my way through college. I should write about my critics/opponents. I would focus on those whose parents were wealthy, who bought them cars, who paid for their college education, who got them jobs, etc. I would focus on those who have lots of religious, government, political, and/or financial clout in Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois.

There will be more and more and more dependency on government and charity, LGBTQ, abortion, mass/illegal immigration, booze, gambling, pot, prostitution, and other vices, and diminishment of Second Amendment rights. There will be more and more and more Affirmative Action and DEI, that is, there will be more and more and more race and gender based preference giving, patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, religious discrimination, and notional origin discrimination. – Dave Diersen

How successful were your Republican township candidates? Ever since my wife and I moved to Milton Township in 1978, all of the Milton Township elected officials have been Republican. Since 2000, as a Republican Precinct Committeeman, I have done much to help elect and reelect Republican Milton Township candidates, including hand-delivering their campaign literature to the residences in my precinct (currently 400) that have at least one Republican or one Independent registered voter.

— Democrats run the federal government. Democrats do not want Republicans to audit Democrats. GAO audits federal agencies including IRS. To get rid of me when I was 49 years old in 1997, my Democrat GAO superiors forced me to retire and forced the Civil Service Retirement System to pay me $5,565/month, or $66,780/year, or $1.8 million so far in today’s dollars to not work. I have always been a Republican. In 1997, I was a licensed CPA and a Certified Internal Auditor, Fraud Examiner, Government Financial Manager, Financial Services Auditor, and Forensic Accountant. I had master’s degrees in business, accounting, and finance. I had worked for GAO for almost 18 years, the last 11 years of which at the GS-13 Step 1-10 Levels, currently $117,807-$153,151/year. 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, currently $99,069-$112,280/year. Democrats do not want Republicans to audit Democrats. – Dave Diersen

The United States has banned most refugees, including 20,000 people who were already ready to travel to the United States before Trump took office. But Trump is making one exception. White South Africans seeking asylum in America should be advised that when the next Democrat President is elected, they will be the first to be gotten rid of.

https://www.aol.com/melania-trump-reveals-barron-trumps-120119348.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Melania Trump said her son Barron Trump is living at home while he attends New York University. “I could not say I’m an empty nester. I don’t feel that way,” the former first lady told Fox & Friends’ Ainsley Earhardt in an interview that aired Thursday. “It was his decision to come here, that he wants to be in New York and study in New York and live in his home, and I respect that.” That would presumably mean that the new college man is living at the family’s longtime Trump Tower residence on Fifth Avenue and commuting a few miles south to the Greenwich Village campus. Barron Trump is former President Donald Trump’s youngest son and his only child with Melania Trump. He graduated from Oxbridge Academy in West Palm Beach, Florida, in May and began classes at NYU’s Stern School of Business in early September.)

— Trump’s threat of towering tariffs on European booze is sobering. Wine and spirits can be markers of national and regional identity — which could make a coming trade fight between the U.S. and Europe much more emotional. The Democrat GAO Chicago office manager who led the Democrat effort to waste my career and to get rid of me was an extremely big drinker. If he had not had to go on extended sick leave in 1985 because of his big drinking, the GAO manager who arranged for my transfer from IRS in 1980 would not have been able to assign me to audits of IRS in 1986 or to promote me in 1986.
