The more of the following that employees were, the higher that they were on those lists: Republican, White, male, older, non-veteran, Protestant, German American, and/or have ancestors who had been in America for a long time. I am all of the aforesaid. I never would have survived until 1997 if I had not a) earned three job-related master’s degrees, b) earned six job-related professional certifications, and c) earned a job-related professional license.
https://www.opm.gov/news/secrets-of-opm/everyone-has-a-plan-until-you-step-into-the-ring/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: For most of this year, the government has been operating under a series of hiring initiatives. Most notably, the president set a target of four reductions for every one new hire into government. We exceeded this goal – the government hired roughly 68,000 people this year, while approximately 317,000 employees left the government. . .First, we want to make sure the government has the right talent focused on the key priorities of the administration and that we are eliminating wasteful taxpayer expenses in areas that are inefficient, no longer required, or in direct contradiction of administration priorities. Simply put, we want agencies to focus their headcount resources on the most critical objectives that deliver maximum value to the taxpayer.)

https://www.msn.com/en-ca/money/topstories/news-from-outside-disappears-in-north-korea/ar-AA1R50NS
(FROM THE ARTICLE: For two hours every day, Lee Si-young and her colleagues broadcast uncensored foreign news into authoritarian North Korea. Her radio audience could go to jail if caught listening. Lee’s Seoul-based Free North Korea Radio station has tried for two decades to give real-time news to North Korea’s 26 million people. But Lee says she now feels a sense of crisis about her work as big government-funded broadcasters in the United States and South Korea have fallen silent this year because of major funding cuts and policy changes. “Our frustrations with the U.S. and South Korean governments are growing over their suspensions of radio broadcasts,” said Lee, a defector who heads the small, nongovernmental FNK radio station. “We’re afraid that they’ve abandoned North Korean residents.” Major channels broadcasting into North Korea fall silent. In North Korea, all radio and TV sets are fixed to state-run channels. But defectors have testified that they modified their radios or used smuggled ones to covertly tune in to foreign broadcasts at night for news their government didn’t want them to hear. That includes outside perspectives of the North’s ruling Kim dynasty, more affluent and freer Western lifestyles, and success stories about defectors.)

— John Fogerty ‘troubled’ by President Trump’s use of ‘Fortunate Son,’ issues cease and desist. DD: Since 1966, my critics/opponents have used against me big time my avoiding the Vietnam War draft. I was classified 1-A for the draft in 1966, but I got student draft deferments 1966-1970 and a financial hardship draft deferment 1970-1971. But I was not a fortunate son. I had to work my way through college. To have money for college and for cars 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 automotive assembly line in 1970. I did not appeal my 1-A draft classification, but what if I had done that? I could not run because I had a bone disease. My eyesight could not be corrected to 20/20. I had red/green color blindness.
https://www.usatoday.com/story/entertainment/music/2020/10/16/john-fogerty-troubled-president-trump-fortunate-son/3686095001/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Fogerty went on to explain that “Fortunate Son” is ironically an anti-war-movement anthem that criticizes privileged people who used their money and status to defer from the Vietnam War draft. The song has been treated as a patriotic working-class anthem, but listen past its star-spangled opening lines — “Some folks are born made to wave the flag/Ooh, they’re red, white and blue” — for Fogerty’s anti-establishment storytelling about how the poor were sent to fight and die in Vietnam while the wealthy were spared.)
— DD: Not all Americans agree on free speech. My critics/opponents certainly do not. According to my Democrat superiors in the federal government, I was not free to speak out against their patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination. According to RINO leaders of the Illinois Republican Party, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Milton Township Republican Organization, I am not free to speak out against Democrat promotion of dependency on government, LGBTQ, abortion, mass/illegal immigration, illegal drugs, diminishment of Second Amendment rights, and Affirmative Action and DEI, that is, race and gender based preference giving, patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, religious discrimination, and national origin discrimination.

— Disobeying Military Orders Is Full of Risk. The military code strongly favors obedience. Orders are presumed to be lawful. DD: While I worked for the Democrats who ran IRS 1971-1980 and GAO 1980-1997, I never disobeyed their orders to give preference to my subordinates who were Democrat, minority, female, younger than me, and/or veteran. I gave them lots of preference. But that was not good enough for my Democrat superiors. Because I complained about their political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination, they ever-increasingly wasted my career, ever-increasingly took more and bigger adverse actions against me, and ultimately forced me to retire when I was 49 years old in 1997.

I cleaned golf shoes, chipped slag, and pumped gasoline in 1966. I delivered mail 1966-1969. I worked on an automotive assembly line in 1970. I sold tires, automotive services, and major appliances 1971-1972. I pumped more gasoline 1971-1972. I collected delinquent taxes starting in 1971. But according to my critics/opponents, I was only able to accomplish the aforesaid starting when I was 18 in 1966 because I avoided the Vietnam War draft.

— EEOC Issues Technical Assistance on Protecting US Workers. DD: How bad are your demographics? My demographics are very bad. I am conservative, Republican, White, male, older, non-veteran, non-poor, Protestant, German American, and my ancestors have been in America since 1844.
https://www.shrm.org/advocacy/eeoc-issues-technical-assistance-on-protecting-us-workers
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) has issued a technical assistance document titled “Discrimination Against American Workers Is Against the Law.” Under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, it is unlawful to discriminate against people based on race, color, sex, national origin, or religion — collectively known as protected characteristics. This is part of the EEOC’s continued focus on bias against U.S. workers. On Feb. 19, Andrea Lucas, then-acting chair of the EEOC, stated, “The EEOC is putting employers and other covered entities on notice: if you are part of the pipeline contributing to our immigration crisis or abusing our legal immigration system via illegal preferences against American workers, you must stop.” The EEOC’s new technical assistance highlights that anti-American national origin discrimination is prohibited under Title VII. The document outlines that employment policies, programs, or practices may be unlawful if motivated, in whole or in part, by people’s national origin, even that of U.S. citizens. Examples include discriminatory job advertisements that favor certain visa holders; unequal treatment in hiring, firing, promotions, or assignments; and workplace harassment that creates a hostile or abusive environment. For HR professionals, this technical assistance document reinforces the agency’s focus on enforcing national origin discrimination under Title VII, even though the underlying law has not changed. Employers should review policies and practices that may previously have gone unnoticed. The EEOC’s updated materials provide an opportunity for HR professionals to revisit policies, training, and communications to mitigate compliance risk.)

They actually use the aforesaid against me by stressing that I never made more than $153,151/year in today’s dollars and that I was forced to retire when I was 49 years old in 1997.

They ignored/dismissed/belittled the aforesaid because I am a Republican, White, male, older, and non-veteran, that is, because I am not a Democrat, minority, female, younger, and/or veteran. Further, leaders of the Milton Township Republican Organization, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Illinois Republican Party ignored/dismissed/belittled the aforesaid because I am conservative, White, male, older, and non-veteran, that is, because I am not a RINO, minority, female, younger, and/or veteran.

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Certifications like CPA and CFA require rigorous exams and experience, but can lead to career advancement. . .Mastering the Certified Public Accountant (CPA) License. Though technically not a certification, the certified public accountant (CPA) license is a powerful differentiator in tax preparation, business planning, and financial analysis. A CPA can represent clients before the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), typically a privilege reserved for attorneys or enrolled agents. Additionally, certified public accountants often pursue significant operational roles in companies. These roles may be the chief financial officer (CFO) or the chief operating officer (COO). Finally, CPAs are well-versed in the double-entry system of accounting, making them highly proficient in financial statement analysis.)

— According to U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, Mamdani is ‘clearly the leader of the Democratic Party.’ Political parties exist to help elect candidates who can and will defend and advance their platform. Who leads the Republican Party in Illinois, in your congressional district, in your county, and in your township? What do you say about their leadership? I should write about those Republican leaders who have blamed the Republican Party’s platform for the party’s problems the most. They most commonly blame its personal responsibility, traditional marriage and family, right to life, immigration, illegal drugs, Second Amendment, and/or equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) planks. – Dave Diersen

Such a role could be viewed positively by highlighting their efforts to: Inform Constituents: Curating and sharing political news and commentary can be seen as an effort to keep fellow members of a political community informed on relevant issues and perspectives. Promote Discussion: By sharing information from various sources, an individual might aim to encourage broader discussion and understanding of different viewpoints within their political group. Support Party Goals: Engaging in activities that align with a political party’s platform and working to support candidates who represent those values can be viewed as a positive contribution to the party’s objectives. Demonstrate Civic Engagement: Volunteering time and effort in political activities demonstrates a commitment to civic participation and can inspire others to get involved.

WASHINGTON EXAMINER
— How millions of illegal immigrants got jobs in the US. DD: All my employers would have hired noncitizens instead of me if they could have. My critics/opponents cannot say that because they did not have to take bad jobs like I had to because their parents had lots of money. Their parents bought them cars, paid their college expenses, and got them good jobs.
https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/investigations/3897219/how-millions-illegal-immigrants-got-jobs-us/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Millions of illegal immigrants residing in the United States have managed to get jobs despite their immigration status. The fact that 8.5 million illegal immigrants have obtained work in the country is a result of employers paying workers under the table, unknowingly hiring workers who have committed document fraud, and hiring non-U.S. citizens whom the government authorizes to work temporarily. The largest number of illegal immigrants work in construction, followed by accommodation, food services, and manufacturing. Immigrants who are paid under the table are the most difficult for the federal government to track because they are often employed in person-to-person gigs. These include workers hired at home improvement stores or as house cleaners who offer their services on social media marketplaces, as well as businesses such as landscaping companies and restaurants. All employers in the U.S. are legally required to verify that new hires have completed an I-9 form, which requires the applicant’s Social Security number, proof of identity, and work authorization documentation. Select immigrants navigating immigration proceedings in court or who are temporarily protected from deportation may be issued a Social Security card for the purpose of working legally in the U.S., but this document does not confer U.S. citizenship or lawful presence. The Bipartisan Policy Center defended workers who are illegal immigrants and said many choose to file federal taxes on their own at the year’s end despite working off the books. In this case, workers without Social Security numbers use an Individual Taxpayer Identification Number issued by the IRS to report income and pay taxes on what they earn. “Many undocumented immigrants find ways to legally pay both federal income and payroll taxes even if they don’t have a Social Security number (which is normally required) and even if their income was earned by working illegally,” the BPC wrote in an analysis on illegal immigrants in the workplace. “Though there are many undocumented immigrants who are paid ‘under the table’ for their work and do not pay taxes on their income, many others do pay in the hope that it will someday help them become citizens,” the BPC analysis reads.)

NEW YORK POST
— Empowering New Yorkers through affordability. DD: What did you do to afford things? I took bad jobs that my peers would not stoop to take. 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 automotive assembly line in 1970. I sold tires, automotive services, and major appliances 1971-1972. I pumped more gasoline 1971-1972. I collected delinquent taxes 1971-1980. I audited federal agencies 1980-1997. According to my critics/opponents, I was grossly overpaid for those jobs and my pension and retirement benefits are much too generous. To qualify myself for better paying jobs, 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.

— Alive and Ambulatory? Let’s Be Thankful for These Blessings. DD: I am thankful that my critics/opponents in Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois have let me serve as the GOPUSA Illinois Editor since 2000 and as a Republican Precinct Committeeman since 1999. I am thankful that they let me serve as the Republican fundraiser for Wheaton Independence Day parades and fireworks 2005-2021, the TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois chairman 2005-2012, the Milton Township Republican Organization webmaster 2008-20210 and 2000-2004, an Illinois Center Right Coalition Steering Committee member 2003-2007, and an American Association of Political Consultants Midwest Chapter board member 2001-2004. I am thankful that they let me stop video gambling in Wheaton in 2009 and the sale of pot in Wheaton in 2019. Obviously, the aforesaid is sarcastic. I should write about my critics/opponents. According to my critics/opponents, I have never been thankful enough. According to them, I did not really earn what I have and I certainly do not disserve what I have. They stress that I avoided the Vietnam War draft with student deferments and a financial hardship deferment 1966-1971; that my parents provided me with room and board while I took classes at UIC 1966-1968, weekends during my first semester at NIU in 1969, and the summer of 1969; that I graduated debt-free from NIU in 1970 owning a 1969 Dodge Charger SE; that S.S Kresge hired me in 1964, the Post Office in 1966, Firestone Stores in 1970, IRS in 1971, and GAO in 1980; that IRS promoted me in 1972, 1973, and 1974; that GAO promoted me in 1986; that I earned master’s degrees in 1976, 1980, and 1997, professional certifications in 1979, 1981, 1990, 1994, 1996, and 1997, and a professional license in 1981; that I bought a 1958 Chevrolet Bel Air in 1964 and new cars in 1966, 1967, 1968, 1971, 1973, 1978, etc.; that I bought real estate when I was 24, 25, and 27; that I got married in 1978 and we bought a home that year and had one built in 1984; and that we gave up trying to have children and we did not adopt or become foster parents. According to my critics/opponents, I owe everything that I have to my benefitting from discrimination against those who do not share my demographics. I should write about my critics/opponents. I would focus on those whose parents had the most money.

I never refused orders to give them preference. I gave them lots of preference. But that was not enough for my Democrat superiors. Because I complained about their political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination, they ever-increasingly wasted my career, ever-increasingly took more and bigger adverse actions against me, and ultimately forced me to retire when I was 49 years old in 1997.

https://www.aol.com/articles/rachel-cruze-boomers-really-blame-161605313.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Because baby boomers have lived more within their means, avoiding overly expensive vacations and things like home remodels, and sometimes staying at the same jobs for years or even decades, Cruze calls them a very “content generation.” Millennials, on the other hand, are “trying to keep up with the Joneses” and often lead unsustainably expensive lifestyles, she said. Boomers may have been more content because when they turned 30, jobs were stable and housing was affordable. Millennials reached that age amid soaring costs, student loans and fewer long-term guarantees regarding the job market. Although the U.S. today is harder to afford for young people, millennials are leading the renovation trend, with 60% planning projects in 2025, according to Housing Wire. Millennials also are one of the biggest groups that were planning to increase their spending on travel at the end of 2024, according to Deloitte. Millennials’ spending habits have landed them deeper in debt, and there has been a huge increase in members of the generation entering debt consolidation, as per USA Today. Their debt can’t be directly attributed to the boomer generation, though. Instead, it may simply be that millennials are making costlier choices than their parents, along with, of course, living in a costlier world in general.)

(FROM THE NEWSLETTER: PAGING DR. CASSIDY: Louisiana Sen. Bill Cassidy was in Oak Brook for a GOP holiday gathering talking about health-care reform. After the event, the Republican senator offered some advice for Illinois Republicans who find themselves at odds within their ranks. “Let me quote a good Illinoisan: ‘United we stand. Divided we fall,’” he said, referring to the biblical quote that Abraham Lincoln espoused. “The question is to find what unites us. I think this whole health care issue should unite us.” Also at the party: Former Congressman Bob Dold, GOP Senate Leader John Curran, GOP House Leader Tony McCombie, State Sens. Sue Rezin and Andrew Chesney, Hinsdale Village President Greg Hart, DuPage County State’s Attorney Bob Berlin, RTA Chair Kirk Dillard, former Aurora Mayor Richard Irvin, businessman Jay Bergman, Lee County Industrial Development Association’s Tom Demmer, attorney and former state Rep.

DD: While I worked for the Democrats who ran the Post Office 1966-1969, IRS 1971-1980, and GAO 1980-1997, the federal government paid 72% of my health insurance premiums. That helped me endure my Democrat superiors’ tremendous efforts to get rid of me. My critics/opponents ever-increasingly demonize, denigrate, and condemn the 72% health insurance subsidy a) that I got when I was federal employee, b) that my wife got when she was a federal employee 1968-1970, c) that I will always get as a federal retiree, and d) that my wife has gotten since we got married in 1978 and will always get.

KNIGHT KRIER
— What does your future hold? The pressures of choosing future careers in high school. DD: My father often decried his not having a college degree. That put me on track to getting one. I majored in management at UIC, NIU, and Loyola. But in retrospect, with benefit of hindsight, I should have majored in accounting. I did not because I erroneously thought I could never pass the CPA examination. I did not start taking graduate accounting courses until I was 27 in 1976. I did not take and pass the CPA examination on my first attempt until I was 30. I did not earn a master’s degree in accounting until I was 31. I did not take and pass the Certified Internal Auditor examination until I was 32. I did not become a licensed CPA until I was 32. By then, the accounting profession viewed me to be too old to have a successful career in accounting. The accounting profession would not have done that if I had been a minority or a female.

Most commonly, they reject its personal responsibility, traditional marriage and family, right to life, immigration, illegal drugs, Second Amendment, and/or equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) planks. I should write about my critics/opponents. I would focus on those who continue to have lots of clout and have had their operatives and their dupes take the most/biggest adverse actions against me lately. – Dave Diersen

— The Chinese military is here and ready. Are we?
https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2025/11/the_chinese_military_is_here_and_ready_are_we.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Those of us paying attention noticed that among the illegals flowing over our borders during Biden’s Handlers’ term were thousands—perhaps tens of thousands—of military aged, fit Chinese men. We also took note that no one enters or leaves China without the commie’s consent, and the people showing up at our borders didn’t walk across the Pacific. The Biden DHS was eventually forced to grudgingly admit that at least some of those guys just might be members of the Chinese military. They didn’t inform us what they did with them, so we can reasonably believe most, if not all, remain in American and we have no idea of their locations or identities. We also know China, through various cutouts, has been buying up large swaths of American farmland, and plenty of that adjacent to military installations. The Bidenites were unconcerned, even helpful to the commies. Sure, a few congressmen raised alarms, but our number one international “competitor” undergoing a massive military buildup to include intercontinental ballistic nuclear missiles, continues to buy land in places that allow them to spy on our military installations—and worse. In Terrorist attacks in America: just a matter of time? in July of last year I noted then tens or hundreds of Islamist terrorists in America would be most likely to carry out close range attacks on civilians, while the Chinese military would likely focus on sabotage of our water, electric and communication hubs and our military capabilities. Commander Salamander points out one highly likely target: Whitman Air Force Base in Missouri. Why Whitman? It’s our sole B2 Stealth Bomber base, housing our 19 remaining B2s. One would think our CONUS–Continental US—military installations would be very secure. Most aren’t. Security consists largely of a few entrance facilities/gates guarded by a few military police officers and huge expanses of land secured only with tall chain link fences and reaction forces of military police in lightly armored vehicles. Some facilities have motion detectors and video cameras, but that’s not universal.)

— Disparate impact is equal outcome. DD: Equal outcome is the opposite of equal opportunity. To get more votes from minorities and from women, Democrat and RINO leaders fight for equal outcome instead of for equal opportunity. To fight for equal outcome is to fight against equal opportunity. According to Democrat and RINO leaders, if Whites and men do better at something, it is because they benefitted from discrimination against minorities and against females. I became a licensed CPA. I passed the CPA and Certified Internal Auditor examinations on my first attempt. I earned four other job-related professional certifications. I earned three job-related master’s degrees. Because few minorities and few females have done that, Democrat and RINO leaders have especially shouted at minorities and at females that I was able to do the aforesaid because I benefitted from discrimination against minorities and against females. In my defense, I stress that neither of my parents attended college. That my father was only the first of my ancestors to earn a high school diploma. That my mother never attended high school. That I had to work my way through college.

— Trump again slams Democrats who urged US troops to refuse illegal orders. Despite outcry over earlier attack, Trump doubles down and calls for rivals who issued message to military to be jailed. DD: According to hate-filled Trump-hating Trump-haters, all of Trump’s orders are illegal. According Vietnam War protesters, the Vietnam War was illegal. I was not a Vietnam War protestor. I went in for my physical in 1966 and I was deemed 1-A. I did not appeal that even though I could not run because I had a bone disease, my eyesight could not be corrected to 20-20, and I had partial red/green color blindness. Nevertheless, since 1966, my critics/opponents have painted me as being a Vietnam War protestor because I got four student deferments and a financial hardship draft deferment. I should write about my critics/opponents.

In my defense, I stressed that my grandfather on my father’s side fought the Germans in WWI. That my uncles on my mother’s side fought the Germans in WWII. That my father would have fought the Germans in WWII if he had not been 4-F. Further, I stressed that while I was a Lutheran, I was a Missouri Synod Lutheran, not a more conservative Wisconsin Synod Lutheran.

— To get more votes from minorities and from women, Democrat leaders fight for equal outcome instead of equal opportunity. To fight for equal outcome is to fight against equal opportunity. According to Democrats, if Whites and men do better at something, it is because they benefitted from discrimination against minorities and against females. I became a licensed CPA. I passed the CPA and Certified Internal Auditor examinations on my first attempt. I earned four other job-related professional certifications. I earned three job-related master’s degrees. Because few minorities and females have done that, Democrats have especially shouted at minorities and at females that I was able to do the aforesaid because I benefitted from discrimination against minorities and against females. In my defense, I stress that neither of my parents attended college. That 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. – Dave Diersen

FED SMITH
— Federal Pay Skyrockets: New Open The Books Report Shows 24% Payroll Surge Since 2020. Federal pay surged during the Biden years as locality pay areas grew, driving six‑figure salaries higher despite modest workforce growth and rising telework.
https://www.fedsmith.com/2025/11/19/federal-pay-skyrockets-since-2020/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The report shows that the civilian federal workforce (excluding DOD and Postal Service) reached roughly 2.9 million employees and had a disclosed payroll of $270 billion in FY 2024. That’s a 24% jump from FY 2020, when payroll stood near $217 billion. The size of the federal workforce grew by about 5% during that period. . .The biggest change is not in hiring. It is the compensation structure. The number of employees earning six-figure salaries has exploded since 2020. Federal workers earning $100,000+ jumped 49%. Those earning $200,000+ soared 82%. The number above $300,000 rose 84%. In 117 of 127 major agencies (and in the White House as well), the average salary at the time the data were calculated exceeded $100,000. As noted above, OPM data as of March 2025 showed an average federal salary of almost $110,000. The report highlights a striking trend in the federal workforce: the number of highly compensated federal employees has grown significantly. The report highlights several items, including the highest federal salaries. In FY 2024, 956 federal employees made more than the President of the United States, who has had a salary of $400,000 since 2001. There are more employees earning more than $400,000 than ever before in Open The Books’ payroll records dating back to 2010. 939 of the employees who out earned the president were medical officers at the Veterans Health Administration. Four of the employees listed are dentists. 15 doctors at the National Institutes of Health earn more than $400,000, including the four highest-paid employees in the entire federal workforce. The director of the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute was paid $519,246, breaking his own record for the highest federal salary in American history. Dr. Anthony Fauci, who was the federal employee of the year in 2020, once held the record for being the highest-paid federal employee with a $480,654 salary in 2022. An additional 36 federal employees earned exactly $400,000, the same salary as the president. A few years ago, it was rare for any federal employee to earn more than the president. In 2019, only three federal employees made more than $400,000. Why Federal Pay Has Gone Up)

DD: In 2000, my Milton Township Republican Organization (MTRO) critics/opponents succeeded in getting a registered Republican voter in my precinct to challenge me for Republican Precinct Committeeman, but not since then. But they have succeeded in stopping me from becoming a MTRO committee chairman or officer since then. They rudely fired me as MTRO webmaster in 2004 and 2010. They gerrymandered my precinct in 2015. They ended my service as the Republican fundraiser for Wheaton Independence Day parades and fireworks in 2021. They threw me off the Illinois Republican Party State Convention Platform and Resolutions Committee in 2024. My MTRO critics/opponents ever-increasingly blame me and blame my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters a) for all the losses that Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct have suffered since 2000 and b) for all of MTRO’s other problems. I should write about my MTRO critics/opponents.

They stress that I did not earn my master’s degrees until I was 27, 31, and 48, that I did not take the CPA examination until I was 30 and the CIA examination until I was 32, and that while I became a licensed CPA, it was not until I was 32.

I earned a bachelor’s degree in management from NIU when I was 21 years old in 1970. My first entry-level job was a Retail Sales Manager for a Firestone Store. My salary was about $50,000/year in today’s dollars for a 44-hour workweek. In 1971, my second entry-level job was a GS-7 IRS Revenue Officer. The salary was $55,850/year in today’s dollars. To get that job, I had passed the Federal Service Entrance Examination. My taking graduate evening business courses at Loyola helped me get promoted to GS-9 ($68,315/year) in 1972, to GS-11 ($82,655/year) in 1973, and to GS-12 ($99,069/year) in 1974.

AMERICAN SOCIETY FOR PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION
— Hiring Trends: Skills, Credentials and Potential. DD: Meeting and exceeding Affirmative Action and DEI quotas, goals, and targets was always my employers’ top priority. The Democrats who ran the Post Office in 1966, IRS in 1971, and GAO in 1980 hired me because they could not find a qualified Democrat, minority, female, younger person, or veteran who would take the job. As they came to realize that I was not going to become a Democrat, they ever-increasingly wasted my career and they succeed in forcing me to retire when I was 49 in 1997. They ever-increasingly wasted my work experience and what I had learned earning a job-related bachelor’s degree, three job-related master’s degrees, six job-related professional certifications, and a job-related professional license.
https://patimes.org/hr-hiring-trends-skills-credentials-and-potential/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Recruiting and retaining a well-qualified workforce is a critical concern for public administrators. To provide effective, efficient and responsive services, employees must be carefully selected for their roles. There is a long-standing debate about whether hiring should focus on their skills developed through experience, formal credentials or their potential. The Society for Human Resource Management has reported that employers practicing skills-based hiring increased from 56% in 2022 to 81% in 2024. While the short-term trend is clear, public administrators should be cognizant of both the strengths and weaknesses of each approach.)

The aforesaid motivated me to transfer to GAO in 1980. I should write about that.
— While I worked for IRS 1971-1980, I was a Revenue Officer. Sadly, IRS Revenue Agents look down on IRS Revenue Officers. IRS Revenue Agents conduct tax audits to determine the correct tax liability, while an IRS Revenue Officers take enforcement actions to collect delinquent tax debts. While there are differences between what IRS Revenue Agents do and what IRS Revenue Offices do, there are many similarities. Being a Revenue Agent requires more accounting education. To get promoted, both IRS Revenue Agents and Officers need more accounting education. SEE: https://www.google.com/search?q=IRS+%22revenue+agent%22+%22revenue+officer%22& That is why I started taking graduate evening accounting courses in 1976.

But my Democrat IRS superiors ignored/dismissed/belittled that. They would not have done that if I had been a Democrat, minority, female, younger, or veteran. To disallow my education deductions in 1978, my Democrat IRS superiors falsely argued that I did the aforesaid to become a Revenue Agent. The aforesaid motivated me to transfer to GAO in 1980.

A 40-something woman decides whether to continue pursuing fertility treatments as costs pile up and her chances at pregnancy diminish. DD: I should write about my Democrat GAO superiors who used my wife and I giving up trying to have children to take big adverse actions against me in 1989. In 1989, they threw me off audits of IRS. They gave me a very bad out-of-town job assignment. They gave me very unfair performance expectations. They gave me a very unfair performance appraisal. They ranked me at the bottom of my coworkers for pay-for-performance. Of course, Duckworth would have approved of all that if not directed all that. According to my Democrat GAO superiors, if we had children, I would not have been able to a) pass the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, earn a master’s degree in accounting in 1980, pass the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981, or become a licensed CPA in 1981. According to them, we would not have been able to suffer a $23,472/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars for me to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980. We would not have been able to have a home built in Wheaton in 1984. I would not have gotten promoted to GS-13 in 1986. My wife would not have been able to earn a bachelor’s degree in finance in 1986. I would not have been able to buy a collector car and a new 1990 Thunderbird LX in 1989. etc.

EAST CAROLINIAN
— Is serving in the military a good career path. DD: Initially, because my parents lacked money, my plan to get a college degree was to enlist and to use the GI Bill even though my health problems would severely limit my opportunities in the military. I could not run because a had a bone disease, my eyesight could not be corrected to 20/20, and I had partial red/green color blindness. But then, I decided that I could get a college degree sooner if I got accepted by UIC and commuted to/from classes there from my parents’ home in Crete. To do that, I bought a 1958 Chevrolet Bel Air in 1964 with money I had earned doing yard work and delivering newspapers. I used that car to get to/from my parents’ home and a dish washing job in Chicago Heights. I used the money I had earned doing that to buy a new 1966 Pontiac Tempest Sprint in May of 1966 that I used to get to/from summer jobs in 1966 and then classes at UIC. Then, the Park Forest Post Office hired me. With the money I earned working part-time during the school years and full-time during the summers, I paid for my college expenses, I bought a new 1968 Oldsmobile 442 in 1967, I bought a new 1969 Dodge Charger SE in 1968, and I graduated debt-free from NIU in 1970 owning that Charger.
https://www.piratemedia1.com/theeastcarolinian/article_1e59ea91-b638-4ca9-9229-c5bc4b98a743.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Serving in the U.S. Military is an option for every American through enlistment and in my opinion is a solid career path. Military service is also possible through the commission process if you have a college degree. This will set you up as an officer with higher pay rates and better leadership opportunities. Commission can be reached through a service academy, ROTC (Reserve Officers’ Training Corps), or an officer training/candidate school (OCS, OTS) with a college degree. People who are uncertain about life after college when enrolling in college or nearing graduation should consider serving in the military. There are many benefits to service, some of which I will not discuss, that can lead to a successful career and even more success in the civilian world. My question is, for people with a college degree is military service a good career path? For those looking for free or reduced education, the military can provide you with that through a service academy or through ROTC programs. If you want to go to graduate school and seek out a master’s degree or a doctorate the military can also help cover that. You can also earn the post-9/11 GI Bill, if you commission through OTS or OCS, by serving on active duty which can be used for yourself or passed onto your children.)

CHICAGO SUN-TIMES
— Illinois steps up where feds fall down in making college affordable. DD: What made college affordable for you? Way back when I was young, way back in the 1960s, many of my high school classmates did not try to earn a college degree because their parents could not afford it. My parents could not afford it. My father often decried his not having a college degree. So I bought a 1958 Chevrolet Bel Air in 1964 with money I had earned doing yard work and delivering newspapers. I used that car to get to/from my parents’ home in Crete and my minimum wage dishwashing job in the basement of the S.S. Kresge in Chicago Heights. I took college preparatory courses. I got an ACT score of 24. I graduated in the upper 20% of my Crete-Monee High School class. UIC accepted me. I used the money I had earned washing dishes to but a new 1966 Pontiac Tempest Sprint in May of 1966. I used that car to get to/from summer jobs during 1966 and then classes at UIC. The Park Forest Post Office hired me in November of 1966. I used the money I earned delivering mail to pay not only for my college expenses but a new 1968 Oldsmobile 442 in 1967 and a new 1969 Dodge Charger SE in 1968. I transferred from UIC to NIU in January of 1969. I graduated debt-free from NIU with a bachelor’s degree in business in August of 1970.

— Trump faces criticism from MAGA base over comments on American workers. DD: Employers want cheap labor. Noncitizens work for less money and are easier to exploit.
https://foxillinois.com/news/nation-world/president-trump-faces-criticism-from-maga-base-over-comments-american-workers-laura-ingraham-h1b-scott-bessent
(FROM THE ARTICLE: President Donald Trump’s recent defense of the H-1B visa program has stirred controversy, even among his staunchest supporters. During an interview with Laura Ingraham, Trump had a back-and-forth with the Fox News host over the H-1B visa program. “You also do have to bring in talent,” Trump said. “We have plenty of talented people here,” replied Ingraham. “No, you don’t, no you don’t,” Trump replied, causing Ingraham to press him on whether or not we have talented American workers domestically. “You don’t have certain talents and people have to learn. You can’t take people off an unemployment line and say I’m going to put you into a factory and you’re going to make missiles,” Trump said. These remarks contrast sharply with an executive order he signed in September, which increased H-1B visa application fees to $100,000, up from the previous $2,000 to $5,000 range. The comments have been perceived as a slight against American workers, drawing criticism from figures like Steve Bannon. “All the visa programs…I think we’ve got enough folks, until everyone has a high-paying, high-value job,” he said on his “Bannon’s War Room” show Wednesday. Pro MAGA voices on social media expressed outrage, with some labeling the comments as “insanity” and predicting electoral losses. However, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent defended the president’s stance Wednesday morning, citing the lack of domestic production in industries like shipbuilding and semiconductors. “An American can’t have that job because we haven’t built ships in the US for years, we haven’t built semiconductors, so this idea of overseas partners coming in, teaching American workers, then returning home, it’s a home run,” he told Fox News. The H-1B visa issue has been a contentious topic within the MAGA movement since late 2024, when figures like Elon Musk and Vivek Ramswamy faced criticism for supporting the program to attract tech workers.)

INDEPENDENT
— ICE recruits are showing up for training with disqualifying criminal backgrounds. DD: In my defense, my Democrat Post Office, IRS, and GAO superiors fully vetted me. But they hired me only because they could not find a qualified Democrat, minority, female, younger person, and/or veteran who would take the job. I qualified myself for my Post Office job by passing the postal employment examination and earning a high school diploma. I qualified myself for my IRS job by passing the Federal Service Entrance Examination and earning a bachelor’s degree in business. I qualified myself for my GAO job by earning an MBA and passing the CPA examination on my first attempt.
https://www.aol.com/news/ice-recruits-showing-training-disqualifying-160752475.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Immigration and Customs Enforcement is flush with cash for an aggressive recruiting campaign to fulfill Donald Trump’s mass deportation agenda. But new recruits are reportedly failing physical fitness requirements and entering training programs before the agency performed background checks or finished a screening process. ICE officials have discovered that some recruits failed drug testing or had disqualifying criminal backgrounds while they were already enrolled in training, according to NBC News. Since the beginning of a summer hiring surge after the president approved $178 billion to expand the agency into one of the most expensive police agencies in the world, ICE has dismissed more than 200 new recruits while they were in training for falling short of requirements, according to agency data reviewed by NBC. Most did not meet physical and academic standards — including failing open-book tests — while several were dismissed for their criminal backgrounds or over safety concerns that were flagged in background checks, the outlet reported. At least one recruit at the agency’s training academy in Brunswick, Georgia, had been previously charged with strong-arm robbery and battery stemming from a domestic violence incident, according to a Homeland Security official speaking to NBC. Several recruits also had not submitted fingerprints or gone through any background checks at all before entering the six-week training course, officials said. Homeland Security deputy secretary Tricia McLaughlin claimed that a majority of new recruits are former law enforcement officers who go through a different hiring process; per ICE policy, applicants are required to pass drug tests and undergo a security check before they enter training. McLaughlin said the figures in NBC’s report are “not accurate” and “reflect a subset of candidates in initial basic academy classes.” “The vast majority of new officers brought on during the hiring surge are experienced law enforcement officers who have already successfully completed a law enforcement academy,” she said. “This population is expected to account for greater than 85 percent of new hires. Prior-service hires follow streamlined validation but remain subject to medical, fitness, and background requirements.” The Trump administration has aimed for hiring 10,000 ICE agents by next year, or roughly doubling its footprint, with a major boost to the agency’s Enforcement and Removal Operations division. Critics have warned that hitting that 10,000 target — without adequate guardrails to screen future agents and know exactly who is filling those roles — the government could open the door to repeat past mistakes, as ICE faces intense legal scrutiny over allegations of abuse and illegal use of force as Trump surges federal officers into cities across the country. “The loosening of hiring standards and training requirements is unacceptable and will likely result in increased officer misconduct — similar to or worse than what occurred during a small surge in hiring U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers in the early 2000s,” Democratic Sen. Dick Durbin wrote to Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem this week. “Exacerbating our concerns, DHS has gutted offices responsible for overseeing ICE officers and ensuring accountability for use-of-force incidents,” he added. “Given these developments, greater congressional oversight of ICE’s hiring is essential.” To boost recruitment, Homeland Security offered a “maximum $50,000 signing bonus” and student loan forgiveness. DHS also dropped age limit requirements, allowing people as young as 18 years old to apply and opening ICE to recruits older than 40 years old. The training period at the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center in Georgia shrunk from 13 weeks to eight — and then six. Recruits must also pass a physical fitness test, including running 1.5 miles under 14 minutes and 25 seconds. But dozens of new recruits were sent packing because they couldn’t pass a legal exam, in which officers are allowed to use their books and notes for a test on the Immigration and Nationality Act and the Fourth Amendment. Another group of recruits was dismissed after medical issues or failing the physical fitness requirements. “It’s pathetic,” one career ICE official told The Atlantic. The federal government has been struggling to enroll physically fit personnel to join the ranks since even before Trump, with military branches also regularly failing to meet recruiting goals. One Pentagon study found that more than three-quarters of Americans between the ages of 17 and 24 were ineligible for service because they were overweight, unable to pass an aptitude test, afflicted by physical or mental health issues, or ruled out by a criminal record.)
