GS-13 is the civilian equivalent of a Major in the military. While they never had me arrested for being an active member in a class action lawsuit that charged them with reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation, they forced me to retire when I was 49 in 1997.
https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2026/jul/1/us-air-force-major-arrested-capitol-demonstrating-trumps-impeachment/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Maj. Jason Watson calls for President Trump’s impeachment, risking his military career. He attended a press conference led by the Removal Coalition outside the Capitol. Watson accused Trump of violating the Constitution and committing impeachable offenses.
He cited violations of the War Powers Act regarding military strikes against Iran and Venezuela. Watson claimed these actions resulted in deaths and injuries to service members. U.S. Air Force Maj. Jason Watson was arrested Wednesday while demonstrating at the Capitol for the impeachment of President Trump. Capitol police said they arrested Maj. Watson for demonstrating on the Capitol steps, which is against the law unless the demonstrator is with a member of Congress. Maj. Watson was initially accompanied by Rep. Al Green, Texas Democrat, after an impeachment press conference led by the Removal Coalition, a grassroots organization. When the congressman left the area, police officers told Maj. Watson to stop his demonstration or he would be arrested. “The man refused our lawful orders and was then arrested for 22-1307 Crowding, Obstructing, and Incommoding,” a Capitol Police spokesperson said. “It is important to note that there are plenty of other spots on Capitol Grounds where demonstrating is allowed.” Maj. Watson is risking his active-duty military career to publicly call for Mr. Trump’s impeachment.)

What’s painfully clear again is that Democrats prioritize the rights and needs of illegal aliens over American citizens.

— Priority Open Recommendations: Internal Revenue Service. DD: The Democrats who ran GAO 1980-1997 wasted my knowledge of IRS. They kept me off audits of IRS for all but 3 (1986-1988) of the almost 18 years that I worked for them. I had worked for IRS 1971-1980, the last 5 1/2 years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 Levels, currently $100,059-$113,402/year. They would not have done that if I had been a Democrat, minority, female, or veteran.
https://www.gao.gov/products/gao-26-108992
(FROM THE REPORT: In September 2025, GAO identified 26 priority recommendations for the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). Since then, IRS has implemented one of those recommendations. In June 2026, GAO identified an additional two priority recommendations, bringing the total to 27. GAO is highlighting the following three areas that warrant timely and focused attention: Managing agency transformation, Addressing the tax gap, and Improving the taxpayer experience. Addressing GAO’s recommendations in these areas can help inform IRS’s transformation efforts, strengthen its tax enforcement and revenue collection while reducing taxpayer burden, and inform its resource decisions to best improve the taxpayer experience. Taking action to implement all of GAO’s open priority recommendations could significantly improve operations across IRS.)

Constructively, they have joined the Democrat Party. They reject some, many, most, virtually all, if not all the planks in the Republican Party platform. Most Commonly, they reject its personal responsibility, traditional marriage and family, right to life, immigration, anti-vice, Second Amendment, and/or equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) planks. They ever-increasingly destroy those like me who promote the aforesaid planks. To get rid of me, they have taken many big adverse actions against me since 2000.

(FROM THE ARTICLE: American liberty, as described in the Declaration of Independence, rests on the idea that rights come from a Creator and that people are capable of self-government under higher moral standards. Without basic exposure to the Christian principles that informed those ideas, students struggle to see why restraint, personal responsibility, and conscience matter more than raw individual desire. Even more worrisome is the rise in thought that our rights are not endowed by our Creator but by the government.)

— DD: Democrat leaders ever-increasingly shout at Blacks that Republicans have caused all the problems that Blacks have had, are causing all the problems that Blacks are having, and will forever cause all the problems that Blacks will have. I should write about the successes and failures that my Democrat superiors in the federal government had doing that with my many Black superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates. My Democrat GAO superiors forced me to retire when I was 49 in 1997 and gave my job and my preferred corner office to my Black subordinate. He had less education than I had. He had less work experience than I had. He had one professional certification while I had six. He had no professional license like the one I had (CPA).

DD: Federal employees who are the following have no Civil Service protections: conservative, Republican, White, male, older, non-veteran, German American, and/or have ancestors who have been in America for a long time. Unions provide some protection. But GAO did not unionize until 2007. If GAO had been unionized when I transferred from IRS in 1980, my Democrat GAO superiors would not have been able to take the many big adverse actions against me that they did. My Democrat GAO superiors a) forced me to retire when I was 49 in 1997, b) always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance, c) delayed my promotions and never promoted me beyond GS-13, and d) forced me to take a $23,699/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980. But even though I was a union member at the time, a) my Democrat IRS superiors never promoted me beyond GS-12, disallowed my education deductions in 1978, and disallowed my travel vouchers in 1974 and b) my Democrat Post Office superiors forced me to resign in 1969 and disallowed my sick leave requests in 1969 and 1968. That was because I was not a Democrat, minority, female, and/or veteran. For Democrats, the federal government exists to hire, retain, and promote Democrats who are minority, female, younger, veteran, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or have ancestors who have not been in America for a long time. Virtually all federal employees are Democrats who are one or more of the aforesaid. All of my coworkers who my Democrat superiors in the federal government promoted over me were Democrats who a) had less education than I had, had less work experience than I had, had no professional certification or fewer than I had, and/or had no professional license like the one I had and/or b) were minority, female, younger, veteran, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or had ancestors who had not been in America for a long time.

— The Supreme Court upholds Fed independence by saving Lisa Cook’s job. DD: Have adverse actions been taken against you “for cause?” My critics/opponents have always hinted/implied/argued/shouted that GAO forced me to retire “for cause” when I was 49 in 1997. They stress the adverse actions that my GAO superiors had taken against me previously. They had always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance. They had delayed my promotions and never promoted me beyond GS-13. They had forced me to take a $23,699/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980. Previously, my IRS superiors had never promoted me beyond GS-12, disallowed my education deductions in 1978, and disallowed my travel vouchers in 1974. Previously, my Post Office superiors had forced me to resign in 1969 and disallowed my sick leave requests in 1969 and 1968. My critics/opponents have always ignored/dismissed/belittled the fact a) that I have always been a Republican, b) that all my GAO, IRS, and Post Office superiors who took the aforesaid actions against me were Democrats, c) that I become an active member in a class action lawsuit that charged my Democrat GAO superiors with reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation since 1988, and d) that I had ever-increasingly complained about their political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation. My critics/opponents have always hinted/implied/argued/shouted that I must have been guilty of “gross malfeasance or negligence” or even worse things because the many big aforesaid adverse actions were taken against me even though I had earned job-related professional certifications in 1997, 1996, 1994, 1990, 1981, and 1979, I had earned job-related master’s degrees in 1997, 1981, and 1976, and had earned a job-related professional license in 1981.
https://fortune.com/2026/06/29/supreme-court-fed-independence-lisa-cook-us-debt-treasury-bonds/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Justices ruled 5–4 on Monday that President Donald Trump was wrong to try ousting Fed Governor Lisa Cook last August because she didn’t receive due process. Trump’s bid to fire her—the first such attempt ever—came as he was demanding the Fed lower interest rates, despite data showing inflation remained elevated, the result, in part, of his tariffs. While Fed officials can be removed “for cause,” which has been interpreted to mean gross malfeasance or negligence, Cook was accused of committing mortgage fraud before joining the Fed. She has denied the charges and said she wasn’t given the chance to rebut the claims. Lower courts agreed with her. “Under our precedents, Cook was entitled to notice and some opportunity to respond prior to her termination,” Chief Justice John Roberts wrote. He also asserted the Trump administration’s argument that a president can remove a member of the Fed “at any time, for any reason, without any notice before, and without any judicial check” would render the “for-cause protection into little more than at-will employment.” Protecting the Fed from the whims of a president is vital to the central bank’s duty to set monetary policy free of political considerations, Roberts explained.)
FEDERAL RETIREMENT
— OPM Proposes Eliminating Time-in-Grade Rule. DD: My critics/opponents have always been furious that my IRS manager (Dave) promoted me as soon as I was eligible to GS-9 (currently $68,999/year) when I was 23 in 1972, to GS-11 (currently $83,483/year) when I was 24, and to GS-12 (currently $100,059/year) when I was 25. My Democrat IRS superiors got rid of Dave for doing that. According to them, those promotions should have been given to my Democrat IRS coworkers who were minority, female, younger, and/or veteran. Dave was impressed that I was taking graduate evening business courses at Loyola. None of my coworkers did anything like that.
https://www.myfederalretirement.com/eliminating-time-in-grade-federal-employees/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: For decades, one of the most predictable aspects of a federal career has been the time-in-grade (TIG) requirement. In most cases, General Schedule (GS) employees have had to spend 52 weeks at their current grade before becoming eligible for promotion to the next higher grade. However the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) has proposed eliminating the federal government’s time-in-grade requirement for competitive service employees. If finalized, agencies could promote qualified employees based on their abilities and qualifications instead of waiting for a one-year clock to expire. For some employees, this could mean faster career advancement and higher lifetime earnings. For agencies, it could provide greater flexibility in recruiting and retaining talented employees. However, it also raises questions about consistency and fairness in promotion decisions. Key Takeaways. If this rule becomes final: The one-year time-in-grade requirement would be eliminated. Employees would still have to meet all qualification and specialized experience requirements.
Promotions would not become automatic. Agencies would have greater flexibility in deciding when employees are ready for promotion.
Faster promotions could increase lifetime earnings, TSP contributions, and potentially a federal employee’s High-3 average salary used to calculate a FERS pension.)

— Political parties exist to help elect candidates who can and will defend and advance their platform. The Republican Party platform is conservative. According to Google AI: “Democrat Lite is a pejorative political term used primarily by conservative or libertarian critics to describe moderate or establishment Republicans. It implies that these politicians lack core conservative principles and instead support a milder version of liberal or Democratic policies (such as big-government spending). Critics often use the phrase to argue that Republicans abandon their base by offering a watered-down agenda to appeal to the political center.” My critics/opponents who state that they are Republican are Democrat Lite. They reject some, many, most, virtually all, if not all the planks in the Republican Party platform. Most Commonly, they reject its personal responsibility, traditional marriage and family, right to life, immigration, anti-vice, Second Amendment, and/or equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) planks. They destroy those like me who promote the aforesaid planks. To get rid of me, they have taken many big adverse actions against me since 2000. I should write about my critics/opponents. I would focus on those who continue to have lots of religious, government, political, and/or financial clout in Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois. – Dave Diersen

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Los Angeles, the city that no longer loves itself, the city that is casting out the angels and replacing them with progressive demons and rabid communists, has unleashed another political inferno with their latest diabolical election scheme. By a vote of 10 to 5, the Los Angeles City Council passed a charter amendment initiative which, if approved by the voters in November, would allow non-citizens to vote in Los Angeles’ local city and school board elections. The Democratic Socialist of America-allied (DSA) leader of the LA City Council’s progressive phalanx, Hugo Soto-Martinez, rolled out the usual dodgy reasons proffered for this scandalous proposal. The reasons are daunting and disturbing:)

— Marriage is starting later than ever. DD: I did not get married until I was 29 in 1978. If I had not met my outstanding wife at a church sponsored singles social event when I was 28 in 1977, I might never had gotten married. My Democrat IRS superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates were furious that I got married. To get rid of me, they had painted me being an extremely bad person because I had refused to become a Democrat. They hinted/implied/argued that because of that, I would never get married. What helped you become marriage material? By the time I got married, I had worked for IRS for almost 7 years and my salary was $110,066/year in today’s dollars. I had earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976 and I was taking graduate evening accounting courses at DePaul. I lived in a one bedroom condo in the Outer Drive East building that I had bought in 1976. I was renting out a town home in University Park that I had bought new in 1972. I owned a 1972 Corvette that I had bought new in 1971. See Money Magazine’s 4-page February 1978 article on my wife and I at https://gopillinois.com/documents/ Things that impressed me about my outstanding wife included that her first job after high school was working for the FBI. She soon became the Corporate Secretary of the U.S. League of Savings Institutions. She did much to help elect Big Jim Thompson governor in 1976. She earned a bachelor’s degree in finance from DePaul in 1986.

I am all of the aforesaid. All of my ancestors were Protestants who immigrated from what is now Germany during the 1840s and 1850s.

— Civil Service Protections. DD: Federal employees who are the following have no Civil Service protections: conservative, Republican, White, male, older, non-veteran, German American, and/or have ancestors who have been in America for a long time. Unions provide some protection. But GAO did not unionize until 2007. If GAO had been unionized when I transferred from IRS in 1980, my Democrat GAO superiors would not have been able to take the many big adverse actions against me that they did. My Democrat GAO superiors a) forced me to retire when I was 49 in 1997, b) always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance, c) delayed my promotions and never promoted me beyond GS-13, and d) forced me to take a $23,699/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980. But even though I was a union member at the time, a) my Democrat IRS superiors never promoted me beyond GS-12, disallowed my education deductions in 1978, and disallowed my travel vouchers in 1974 and b) my Democrat Post Office superiors forced me to resign in 1969 and disallowed my sick leave requests in 1969 and 1968. That was because I was not a Democrat, minority, female, and/or veteran. For Democrats, the federal government exists to hire, retain, and promote Democrats who are minority, female, younger, veteran, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or have ancestors who have not been in America for a long time. Virtually all federal employees are Democrats who are one or more of the aforesaid. All of my coworkers who my Democrat superiors in the federal government promoted over me were Democrats who a) had less education than I had, had less work experience than I had, had no professional certification or fewer than I had, and/or had no professional license like the one I had and/or b) were minority, female, younger, veteran, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or had ancestors who had not been in America for a long time.

They falsely hinted/implied/argued/shouted that their motive was to diminish politicization of the parades. To make DuPage Republicans the lead sponsor for the parades, I raised $2,500 or more each year from Republican candidates, elected officials, and party leaders. The aforesaid got lots of positive publicity for the sponsorships. Republicans got specific credit for sponsoring the Wheaton high school marching bands, bagpipers, and other entries. Each year, I hand-delivered 500 flyers to the homes and the businesses on the parade route that promoted the parade and listed the Republican entries and sponsorships. In 2007, I raised $2,000 on short notice for an elephant to walk behind Roskam in the parade.

— DD: For Democrats, the federal government exists to hire, retain, and promote Democrats who are minority, female, younger, veteran, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or have ancestors who have not been in America for a long time. Virtually all federal employees are Democrats who are one or more of the aforesaid. All of my coworkers who my Democrat superiors in the federal government promoted over me were Democrats who a) had less education than I had, had less work experience than I had, had no professional certification or fewer than I had, and/or had no professional license like the one I had and/or b) were minority, female, younger, veteran, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or had ancestors who had not been in America for a long time. Federal employees who are the following have no Civil Service protections: Republican, White, male, older, and/or non-veteran. Unions provide some protection. But GAO did not unionize until 2007. If GAO had been unionized when I transferred from IRS in 1980, my Democrat GAO superiors would not have been able to take the many big adverse actions against me that they did. My Democrat GAO superiors a) forced me to retire when I was 49 in 1997, b) always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance, c) delayed my promotions and never promoted me beyond GS-13, and d) forced me to take a $23,699/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980. But even though I was a union member at the time, a) my Democrat IRS superiors never promoted me beyond GS-12, disallowed my education deductions in 1978, and disallowed my travel vouchers in 1974 and b) my Democrat Post Office superiors forced me to resign in 1969 and disallowed my sick leave requests in 1969 and 1968. That was because I was not a Democrat, minority, female, and/or veteran.

WASHINGTON POST
— Four takeaways on Black unemployment in Trump’s economy. College-educated Black workers are finding themselves left behind. DD: Did your ancestors own slaves. Mine did not. To get more votes from Blacks and to atone for their ancestors’ slave ownership, Democrat leaders ever-increasingly promote reparations. If anyone should pay reparations, it should be Democrat leaders whose ancestors owned slaves. Affirmative Action (AA) is reparations. Democrat leaders have always used AA to make Republicans who are the following pay reparations: conservative, White, male, older, non-poor, non-veteran, Protestant, German American, and/or have ancestors who have been in America for a long time. Because I am all of the aforesaid, my Democrat superiors in the federal government made me pay reparations big time. It culminated when they forced me to retire when I was 49 in 1997 and gave my job and my preferred corner office to my Black subordinate. He had less education than I had. He had less work experience than I had. He had one professional certification while I had six. He had no professional license like the one I had (CPA).

— DD: In 2021, to diminish if not stop Republican participation in Wheaton’s Independence Day parades, Democrat, RINO, and Democrat plant leaders ended my role as the Republican fundraiser for those parades, a role that I had since 2005. They falsely hinted/implied/argued/shouted that their motive was to diminish politicization of the parades. To make DuPage Republicans the lead sponsor for the parades, I raised $2,500 or more each year from Republican candidates, elected officials, and party leaders. The aforesaid got lots of positive publicity for the sponsorships. Republicans got specific credit for sponsoring the Wheaton high school marching bands, bagpipers, and other entries. Each year, I hand-delivered 500 flyers to the homes and the businesses on the parade route that promoted the parade and listed the Republican entries and sponsorships. In 2007, I raised $2,000 on short notice for an elephant to walk behind Roskam in the parade.

DD: When I was 25 years old in 1974, because an IRS Collection Division manager promoted me to GS-12, currently $100,059/year, the federal government gave me a free health checkup. Typically, IRS employees who were Republican, White, male, and/or non-veteran were not promoted to GS-12 that young. My Democrat IRS superiors were furious that I got promoted that young because I was not a Democrat, minority, female, or veteran. They got rid of the IRS manager who promoted me. They disallowed my travel vouchers. They disallowed my education deductions. They refused to promote me to GS-13.

— FRONT PAGE TOP OF FOLD WITH PHOTO: Bartlett Library board censures trustee. DD: I should write about my critics/opponents who in 2006 almost succeeded in getting their operatives and their dupes in the Illinois Center Right Coalition to censure me for my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters. They ever-increasingly blamed me and blamed my newsletters for defeats that Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct had suffered since 2000. I would focus on my critics/opponents who still have lots of religious, government, political, and/or financial clout in Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois. My critics/opponents blame conservative Republicans for Republican defeats, and especially conservative Republicans like me who are White, male, older, non-veteran, Protestant, German American, and/or have ancestors who have been in America for a long time. They reject some, many, most, virtually all, if not all the planks in the Republican Party platform. They want the Republican Party to be the Democrat Lite Party. On who/what do you blame Republican defeats. Political parties exist to help elect candidates who can and will defend and advance their platform. The Republican Party platform is conservative.

I should write about my critics/opponents. I would focus on those whose parents were the wealthiest.

INDIAN EXPRESS
— A strong woman is not marriage material. 95% of men want women who are helpless. Most men do not like strong women, especially those who have independent thoughts and are deeply committed to their work. DD: If I had not met my outstanding wife at a church sponsored singles social event when I was 28 in 1977, I might never had gotten married. My Democrat IRS superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates were furious that I got married when I was 29 in 1978. To get rid of me, they had painted me being an extremely bad person because I had refused to become a Democrat. They hinted/implied/argued that because of that, I would never get married. What helped you become marriage material? By the time I got married, I had worked for IRS for almost 7 years and my salary was $110,066/year in today’s dollars. I had earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976 and I was taking graduate evening accounting courses at DePaul. I lived in a one bedroom condo in the Outer Drive East building that I had bought in 1976. I was renting out a town home in University Park that I had bought new in 1972. I owned a 1972 Corvette that I had bought new in 1971. See Money Magazine’s 4-page February 1978 article on my wife and I at https://gopillinois.com/documents/ Things that impressed me about my outstanding wife included that her first job after high school was working for the FBI. She soon became the Corporate Secretary of the U.S. League of Savings Institutions. She did much to help elect Big Jim Thompson governor in 1976. She earned a bachelor’s degree in finance from DePaul in 1986.

To advance in the federal government, you have to be a Democrat. If I had become a Democrat, even though I was not a minority, female, or veteran, the Democrats who ran the federal government would have promoted me into their Senior Executive Service long before I was 40 because I earned three job-related masters degrees, six job-related professional certifications, and a job-related professional license. None of my coworkers came anywhere near close to doing what I did. All my coworkers who my Democrat superiors in the federal government promoted over me were Democrats who a) had less education than I had, had less work experience than I had, had no professional certification or fewer than I had, and/or had no professional license like the one I had and/or b) were minority, female, younger, veteran, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or had ancestors who had not been in America for a long time.

— Are you married? If I had not met my outstanding wife at a church sponsored singles social event, I might never had gotten married. My Democrat IRS superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates were furious that I got married when I was 29 in 1978. To get rid of me, they had painted me being an extremely bad person because I had refused to become a Democrat. What helped you become marriage material? By the time I got married, I had worked for IRS for almost 7 years and my salary was $110,066/year in today’s dollars. I had earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976 and I was taking graduate evening accounting courses at DePaul. I lived in a one bedroom condo in the Outer Drive East building that I had bought in 1976. I was renting out a town home in University Park that I had bought new in 1972. I owned a 1972 Corvette that I had bought new in 1971. See Money Magazine’s 4-page February 1978 article on my wife and I at https://gopillinois.com/documents/ Things that impressed me about my outstanding wife included that her first job after high school was working for the FBI. She soon became the Corporate Secretary of the U.S. League of Savings Institutions. She did much to help elect Big Jim Thompson governor in 1976. She earned a bachelor’s degree in finance from DePaul in 1986. My wife and I gave up trying to have children without trying IVF because we both had big fertility problems. But according to my Democrat GAO superiors, we gave up trying to have children, we did not adopt, and we did not become foster parents because I was a disgusting hypocritical DINK. My Democrat GAO superiors decried the time and money they spent raising their children. They decried their spouses having little or no income. According to them, if we had children, I would not have been able to a) pass the CPA examination on my first attempt when I was 30, b) suffer a $23,699/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO when I was 31, c) earn a master’s degree in accounting when I was 31, d) pass the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt when I was 32, or e) become a licensed CPA when I was 32. Further, that we would not have been able to have a home built in Wheaton when I was 35. – Dave Diersen

— What was your biggest mistake in life? For me, it was my avoiding the Vietnam War draft. My many Democrat superiors in the federal government who were veterans used my avoiding the draft with deferments against me viciously. They blamed Republicans for America losing the Vietnam War. Did you try to enlist. I did not. I have always asked myself would I have been accepted if I had tried to enlist. I was 1-A even though I could not run because I had an inherited bone disease, my eyesight could not be corrected to 20/20, and I had partial red/green color blindness. My critics/opponents have always used my health problems against me. They have always stressed that if I had been accepted, I would not have been sent into combat and that proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that I am a disgusting unmitigated hypocritical coward. According to my many Democrat superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates in the federal government, if had not avoided the draft, I would not have been able to a) buy new cars when I was 19, 20, 23, 25, 29, etc., b) earn a bachelor’s degree in management when I was 21, c) buy real estate when I was 24, 25, 27, 29, 35, etc. d) earn an MBA when I was 27, e) get married when I was 29, f) pass the CPA examination on my first attempt when I was 30, g) earn a master’s degree in accounting when I was 31, h) pass the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt when I was 32, or i) become a licensed CPA when I was 32. – Dave Diersen

— Political parties exist to help elect candidates who can and will defend and advance their platform. The Republican Party platform is conservative. The more planks in the Republican Party platform that you reject, the more RINO that you are. RINOs have far more in common with Democrats and with Libertarians than with Republicans, and especially RINOs who are liberal/moderate, minority, female, younger, veteran, poor, unmarried, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or have ancestors who have not been in America for a long time. Most commonly, RINOs reject the personal responsibility, traditional marriage and family, right to life, immigration, anti-vice, Second Amendment, and/or equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) planks in the Republican Party platform. RINOs want the Republican Party to be the Democrat Lite Party. Far too many RINOs are Democrat plants. – Dave Diersen

https://www.aol.com/articles/juneteenth-reminder-affirmative-action-undermines-023440000.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Communities around California and the nation are gathering this weekend to celebrate Juneteenth, the traditional day marking liberation from slavery. It is a day that reminds us that we ought to be equal under the law. And Californians believe opportunity should be based on merit and hard work, not race. That is why every time the voters of California are asked to change the state constitution to allow for affirmative action, defined as preferential treatment for government jobs or admission to public universities based on background characteristics, they say no. Time and again. But the debate is reemerging once again — this time in the form of Assembly Constitutional Amendment 7, a proposal that would repeal protections approved by voters in 1996 through Proposition 209.)

My Democrat GAO superiors stressed a) that I earned a master’s degree in accounting in 1980, b) that I passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981, c) that I became a licensed CPA in 1981, d) that my wife and I had a home built in Wheaton in 1984, e) that I earned four more job-related professional certifications in 1990, 1994, 1996, and 1997, f) that I earned a master’s degree in financial markets and trading in 1997, and g) that my wife and I had saved lots of money for our retirement.

SEE: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/wheaton-independence-day-parade-entry-2026-tickets-1984881886153 The deadline is June 26. The cost is $183.58.

http://www.gopillinois.com
— Since I became a Republican Precinct Committeeman in Wheaton in 1999, I have encouraged Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct to walk in Wheaton Independence Day parades. In 2003, the day after all the announced Republican candidates for U.S. Senate (Cox, Kathuria, McKenna, Oberweis, and Ryan) had walked in the parade, they all attended a picnic that I had organized in the Prairie Path Park in my precinct. More than 200 attended. In 2005, I started raising $2,500/year from Republican candidates, elected officials, and party leaders to help sponsor the parade and fireworks. Each year I would hand-deliver 500 parade flyers to the homes and businesses along the parade route. In 2007, I raised $2,000 on short notice for an elephant to walk behind Roskam in the parade. U.S. Senate candidate Obama and his wife walked in the parade in 2004. But my critics/opponents ended my fundraising in 2021 by having the Wheaton Park District stop parade and fireworks sponsorships. I should write about my critics/opponents. I would focus on those who continue to have lots of religious, government, political, and/or financial clout in Wheaton. I would focus on those who have had their operatives and their dupes take many other adverse actions against me. They want to de-politized the parade, that is, they want to keep Republican candidates, elected officials, and party leaders out of the parade. – Dave Diersen

Ever-increasingly, to get votes from those who vote for Democrats, Democrat plant and RINO political consultants advise Republican candidates to run as Democrat Lite. – Dave Diersen

— Presbyterian Church faces internal revolt after proposing clergy must be in monogamous relationships
https://www.aol.com/articles/presbyterian-church-faces-internal-revolt-120026772.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The PC(USA) has allowed for the ordination of openly gay clergy since 2011 and altered its definition of marriage to “two people” in 2014. The new proposed rule, known as CON-10, does not mention sexual orientation or same-sex relationships. Instead, it targets multipartner relationships, arguing that the practice of polyamory or polygamy can create “power imbalances, emotional harm, and spiritual confusion,” particularly for women, children and historically marginalized persons.)

— Median age for first marriage in US reaches record high. DD: What helped you become marriage material? By the time I got married when I was 29 in 1978, I had worked for IRS for almost 7 years and my salary was $110,066/year in today’s dollars. I had earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976 and I was taking graduate evening accounting courses at DePaul. I lived in a one bedroom condo in the Outer Drive East building that I had bought in 1976. I was renting out a town home in University Park that I had bought new in 1972. I owned a 1972 Corvette that I had bought new in 1971. Things that impressed me about my outstanding wife included that her first job after high school was working for the FBI. She soon became the Corporate Secretary of the U.S. League of Savings Institutions. She did much to help elect Big Jim Thompson governor in 1976. She earned a bachelor’s degree in finance from DePaul in 1986. According to Google AI, “Age is the single most important factor affecting fertility.” My wife and I gave up trying to have children without trying IVF because we both had big fertility problems. But according to my Democrat GAO superiors, we gave up trying to have children, we did not adopt, and we did not become foster parents because I was a disgusting hypocritical DINK. My Democrat GAO superiors decried the time and money they spent raising their children. They decried their spouses having little or no income. According to them, if we had children, I would not have been able to a) pass the CPA examination on my first attempt when I was 30, b) suffer a $23,699/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO when I was 31, c) earn a master’s degree in accounting when I was 31, d) pass the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt when I was 32, or e) become a licensed CPA when I was 32. Further, that we would not have been able to have a home built in Wheaton when I was 35.

WASHINGTON POST
— DD: Democrats run the federal government. Because of that, federal employees who are the following have no Civil Service protections: Republican, White, male, older, and/or non-veteran. Unions provide some protection. But GAO did not unionize until 2007. If GAO had been unionized when I transferred from IRS in 1980, my Democrat GAO superiors would not have been able to take the many big adverse actions against me that they did. My Democrat GAO superiors a) forced me to retire when I was 49 in 1997, b) always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance, c) delayed my promotions and never promoted me beyond GS-13, and d) forced me to take a $23,699/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980. But even though I was a union member, a) my Democrat IRS superiors never promoted me beyond GS-12, disallowed my education deductions in 1978, and disallowed my travel vouchers in 1974 and b) my Democrat Post Office superiors forced me to resign in 1969 and disallowed my sick leave requests in 1969 and 1968. That was because I was not a Democrat, minority, female, and/or veteran.

I worked on an automotive assembly line in 1970. According to my critics/opponents, the aforesaid jobs prove that I have always been an unmitigated loser. My critics/opponents did not have to take bad jobs because they had wealthy parents. I spent lots of time working the aforesaid jobs. That dragged down my ACT score and my GPA.

— Starting at the Bottom. DD: When I was 22 years old in 1971, I started at the bottom working for the Democrats who ran IRS as a GS-7 (currently $56,409/year). While it took me only 3 years to get to GS-12 Step 1 (currently $100,059/year), it took me 5 1/2 more years to get to GS-12 Step 5 (currently $113,402/year). When I was 31 in 1980, my Democrat GAO superiors forced me to take a $23,699/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars, a downgrade to GS-9 Step 10 (currently $89,703/year) to transfer in. They really wanted me to transfer in as an intern and take a $60,487/year (53%) pay cut in today’s dollars, a downgrade to GS-4 Step 10 (currently $52,915/year). If I had been a Democrat, minority, female, and/or veteran, they would have let me transfer in as a GS-12 Step 10 if not as a GS-13 Step 1 (currently $118,984/year). To outrageously, disgustingly, falsely, and unethically force me to take a downgrade, they ignored/dismissed/belittled the fact a) that I had earned an MBA when I was 27 and passed the CPA examination on my first attempt when I was 30, b) that much of what I had done for IRS was very similar to what I would do for GAO, and c) that GAO audits IRS.

— DD: Democrats protest Turning Point USA Educators’ Summit; ‘they’re not welcome here.’ DD: How successful have Democrat leaders in your county, township, municipality, and school district been in promoting more hatred against Charlie Kirk, TPUSA, conservates, Republicans, Trump, and America?
https://www.chicagotribune.com/2026/06/17/lake-county-protesters-turning-point-usa/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: On its website, Turning Point Education isn’t shy about its Christian and conservative goals; they’re two of the group’s five pillars, and the website says they’re dedicated to “reclaiming the education of our children, reviving virtuous education focused on truth, goodness and beauty, and restoring God as the foundation of education.” The summit’s webpage lists nearly 30 speakers, including TPUSA CEO Erika Kirk, the wife of the late Charlie Kirk. Other speakers include the founder of the ACE scholarship program, several Republican politicians, and an extensive mix of conservative activists, Christian authors, Christian school officials, and professors who support a “Biblical worldview” in classrooms, as described in an online event description. The protest saw about 60 to 70 people, chanting, carrying signs, and beating drums. Some chants alternated between targeting President Donald Trump and TPUSA. . .Over the last two decades, Lake County has leaned increasingly blue, with steadily rising numbers of Democratic voters completely flipping the county government and giving Lake County to Democratic presidential candidates in the last five presidential elections. Meanwhile, the number of Republican voters has hit record lows.)

CENTER FOR IMMIGRATION STUDIES
— Immigration — Rules and Reality
https://cis.org/Vara/Immigration-Rules-and-Reality
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Some of the most basic of rules that apply to any person seeking to reside in another country indefinitely: 1. Assimilate. Keep your ethnic roots, but adhere to the norms of the society that you seek to join and claim to want to be a part of. 2. Contribute. Don’t look around at what other people have and expect that they will give it to you. Instead, open your eyes and see that in this country, much more so than in most countries, you have the opportunity to show what you are made of and not only get those things for yourself, but maybe even get more if you have what it takes. 3. Be Grateful. You may never be a billionaire, a millionaire, or even a high-net-worth individual. But in this country, those willing to work and realistically accept where they are at in their lives at any given moment will always have a home and a relatively good life. Certainly as compared to other countries, especially countries like Mexico and many of those in Latin America, Africa, and the non-affluent Middle East. Until and if you make it, you may have to live in a poor neighborhood. You may have to drive an old beat-up pick-up truck vs. a BMW. You might have to buy your clothes at Walmart vs. Neiman’s. And you may have to eat at Dominos, McDonalds, or a Taco Shack vs. Morton’s or Ruth’s Chris. But life will still be better than if you were back home in whatever third-world country you fled from to come here. Most importantly, in this country you will continue to have the chance to advance to an even better life. In some cases, far beyond your wildest dreams. 4. Obey the Rules. Whether you accept them or not, laws dictate. Violate the laws and risk your freedom and your ability to remain here. If you truly value the opportunity that has been handed to you, think twice before you take the risk. 5. Accept Reality. Immigration enforcement is not about racism. It is about the laws and norms of a nation and its society. Wealth and wealth-building are not dictated by racism. Neither is investment strategy. Neither is social stratification. Neither is living in a multi-million-dollar home vs. a $50,000 home. Neither is driving a very expensive car vs. driving a very inexpensive one. Neither is owning a yacht vs. owning a dinghy. . .6. Don’t Expect of Americans what Americans Should Not Expect of Others. Except for the extremely naive or foolish, Americans are not moving to Mexico or any other country and trying to get them to speak English.)

ROBERT REICH
— DD: Under the Democrats and under the RINOs, the more of the following that you are, the more that you need not apply: conservative, Republican, White, male, older, non-veteran, non-poor, Protestant, German American, and/or have ancestors who have been in America for a long time. I am all of the aforesaid. 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. GAO would not have hired me if I had not passed the CPA examination on my first attempt and earned an MBA. IRS would not have hired me if I had not passed the Federal Service Entrance Examination and earned a bachelor’s degree in business. The Post Office would not have hired me if I had not passed the postal employment test and earned a high school diploma.
