— Solution for Chicago’s empty office buildings could be microapartments. In 1974, when I was 25 years old, when IRS promoted me to a GS-12 (currently $99,069/year) Revenue Officer job in the Loop, I bought a 650 square foot studio condo in the Outer Drive East building ( https://www.homesbymarco.com/properties/2809824/400_e_randolph_st_1322_chicago_il_60601 ) so that I could walk to/from work and graduate business courses at Loyola. I traded it in to the building’s developer in 1976 for a one bedroom condo. I sold it when I got married in 1978 and we bought a home in Wheaton.

MOPAR INSIDERS
— Stellantis to Halt Windsor Charger Production for One Week. 3,800 Workers Temporarily Laid Off as Stellantis Reacts to U.S. Tariff Fallout.
https://moparinsiders.com/stellantis-to-halt-windsor-minivan-and-charger-production-for-one-week/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: This is the second time in just over a month that production has been halted at the facility, which builds the Chrysler Pacifica, Chrysler Grand Caravan, Chrysler Voyager, and both the gas-powered Dodge Charger and electric Charger Daytona. Stellantis had previously shut the plant down for two weeks in April to evaluate the impact of new 25% U.S. tariffs on imported vehicles. The tariffs, introduced by the Trump administration on April 3, apply to vehicles with a significant amount of non-U.S. content. They’ve already shaken up the North American auto industry, especially for companies like Stellantis that rely on cross-border production. . .But behind the scenes, it’s clear the broader trade environment is weighing heavily. During the company’s Q1 2025 earnings call, Stellantis CFO Doug Ostermann acknowledged that the automaker is actively looking at relocating some production and supply chains to the U.S. to avoid the steep import duties. “It’s something that we’re working very hard on,” said Ostermann. “To think through how quickly can we make those changes to mitigate any tariff impacts?” Meanwhile, workers at the Windsor plant—many of whom were just called back from a two-week layoff in April—are once again facing an uncertain week ahead. With both minivan and Charger output affected, this could be a sign of bigger shifts coming for Stellantis’ North American operations.)

AUTO EVOLUTION
— 96-Year-Old Kept 1968 Dodge Charger in Storage for 30 Years. I bought a new 1969 Dodge Charger in 1968 and owned until it was stolen in 1971. I drove it to Daytona Beach from NIU in 1969 and 1970 for spring breaks. I bought a 1968 Dodge Charger R/T show car in 1994 and owned it until I sold it in 2005 to buy a 2005 Corvette. I bought a new 2013 Dodge Charger R/T Max in 2012 and I continue to own it. I recently bought a new 2025 Dodge Charger Daytona R/T Plus EV.
https://www.autoevolution.com/news/96-year-old-kept-1968-dodge-charger-in-storage-for-30-years-his-wife-hated-the-car-250906.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A senior gentleman has been keeping the Dodge Charger in a storage facility for he can’t even remember how long. The car hides under a thick layer of dust that leaves its original color to the imagination. Will it shine and drive again, or should it already be on its way to the scrap yard? The 96-year-old owner of the 57-year-old Dodge Charger is Peter. He has big plans for the car he used to drive and rock the streets with back in the day. He remembers that his wife didn’t like the car. “It was a little louder than necessary,” he recalls. He wants to restore it to its former glory. The time has come for that car to run and drive again. He can’t even remember the last time he drove it, but assumes that it has been in the storage facility for around 30 years. That’s three decades away from the sunlight and off the road. Surprisingly, the tires still hold air and a few more goodies of the era. The Fratzog logo shows up on the dashboard. It is the iconic triangle-like badge that Dodge brought back with the Charger Daytona EV.)

— Dodge Charger Daytona EV Could Get Better Batteries in 2026. Nevertheless, my 6,000-pound 2025 Dodge Charger R/T Plus does the quarter mile in 12.6 seconds at 135 MPH. Level 1 charging is fast enough for me. But because Dodge gave me a free $600 Level II charger, I had it installed along with a 220V 50 Amp outlet in my Iron Gate Car Condo for $1,125.
https://www.autoguide.com/auto/manufacturers/dodge/dodge-charger-daytona-ev-could-get-better-batteries-soon-44619442
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Stellantis and Factorial Energy have validated a semi-solid-state battery with 375 Wh/kg energy density, offering faster charging and improved cold-weather performance, with real-world testing set to begin in Dodge Charger Daytona EVs in 2026. Weight savings could be substantial, with up to 2,000 pounds cut from total vehicle mass, improving EV efficiency, performance, and reducing manufacturing costs. Production challenges remain, with high costs and manufacturing difficulties still to overcome before the technology can be widely adopted.)

https://www.autoguide.com/auto/manufacturers/ford/should-we-worry-about-the-ford-mustang-s-future-44619454
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Gasoline-powered Ford Mustang sales fell 31.6% in Q1 2025, while the electric Mustang Mach-E outsold the traditional coupe for the first time. High prices, economic pressures, and a colder-than-average winter contributed to the Mustang’s declining demand. Overall Ford brand sales slipped 1.2%, highlighting growing consumer interest in EVs as traditional models like the Explorer and Expedition also saw sales declines.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Even a member of the moribund Illinois Republican Party — Peoria U.S. Rep. Darin LaHood — indicated interest. From the outside looking in, a GOP candidate would appear to be the political equivalent of a kamikaze pilot in this reflexively Democratic state. Perhaps that’s why another Republican, former state Rep. Tom Demmer, issued a statement that parodied candidates’ expressions of interest. “Following today’s announcement from Sen. Durbin, I’m preparing to have conversations to consider the potential formation of a tentative exploratory committee to look in to the possibility of floating my candidacy. I hope to have potential decisions narrowed down sometime within the next 12-24 months. Get ready to stay tuned,” Demmer tweeted.)

GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— Trump’s mass firing of probationary employees was illegal because it was not performance-based. I should write about how my Democrat superiors in the federal government used the subjectivity in their performance appraisal systems to get rid of me. I would focus on my Democrat GAO superiors. They used that subjectivity a) to force me to take a $23,472/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS in 1980, b) to delay my promotions and to never promote me beyond GS-13, c) to give me bad job assignments, unfair performance expectations, and unfair performance appraisals, d) to always rank me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance, and e) to force me to retiree when I was 49 years old in 1997. The following frustrated their painting me as being a poor performer: a) my earning an MBA in 1976, b) my passing the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, c) my earning a master’s degree in accounting in 1980, d) my passing the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981, e) my becoming a licensed CPA in 1981, f) my earning four more professional certifications in 1990, 1994, 1996, and 1997, and g) my earning a master’s degree in finance in 1997. – Dave Diersen

— Spectacle of arresting Wisconsin judge is important: A message has to be sent. My Democrat superiors used me to send strong messages. My Democrat GAO superiors forced me to retire when I was 49 years old in 1997, always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance, delayed my promotions and never promoted me beyond GS-13, and forced me to take a $23,472/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS in 1980. My Democrat IRS superiors never promoted me beyond GS-12, disallowed my education deductions in 1978, and disallowed my travel vouchers in 1974. My Democrat Firestone Store boss rudely fired me when told him that I had accepted a job offer from Oldsmobile. My Democrat Post Office superiors forced me to resign in 1969 and disallowed my sick leave requests in 1969 and 1968. – Dave Diersen

— How have your critic/opponents used you to send messages? Leaders of the Illinois Republican Party (IRP) rudely terminated my membership on the IRP State Convention Platform and Resolutions Committee in 2024. Republican leaders of Wheaton rudely ended my service as the Republican fundraiser for Wheaton Independence Day parades and fireworks in 2021. Leaders of the Milton Township Republican Organization rudely gerrymandered my precinct in 2015. Republican leaders rudely ended my chairmanship of TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois in 2012 and my membership on the Illinois Center Right Coalition (ICRC) Steering Committee in 2007. They almost got ICRC to censure me for my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletter in 2006. – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com
— Have your critics/opponent taken adverse actions against you, and if so, why? My critics/opponents have taken many big adverse actions against me a) because they destroy those like me who they cannot manipulate or dominate, who refuse to glorify and praise them, who refuse to pander to them, who refuse to serve as one of their operatives or dupes, who refuse to cover up their wrongdoing, and/or who refuse to give them money, b) because they are Democrats or RINOs, and/or c) because I have sued them. I should write about my critics/opponents. – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopilinois.com
— What have your critics/opponents used against you the most? My critics/opponents have used against me the most a) my fighting Democrat promotion of dependency on government and charity, LGBTQ, abortion, mass/illegal immigration, booze, gambling, pot, and other vices, 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, b) my having been a federal employee for almost 30 years and especially my having been an IRS employee for almost 9 years and my having been a federal retiree for almost 28 years, c) my demographics and especially my being a draft avoider, Protestant, and German American, and/or d) my having sued them. But of course, my critics/opponents use pretexts. I should write about my critics/opponents. – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com
— What is your position on equal outcome? My critics/opponents promote equal outcome, that is, according to them, no matter what your demographics are, you should be as successful at what you do as those who do not share your demographics, and if you don’t, it is because of discrimination. According to my critics/opponents, if minorities and/or females are less successful doing something than Whites and/or men are, it is because Whites and/or men discriminated against them. I passed the CPA and Certified Internal Auditor examinations on my first attempt. Few of those who took those examinations were minorities and/or women. Even fewer passwd the examinations on their first attempt. According to my critics/opponents, I passed the examinations because I benefitted from discrimination against minorities and against women. But in my defense, neither of my parents attended college, my father was only the first of my ancestors to earn a high school diploma, he never earned more than $50,000/year in today’s dollars and died suddenly when he was 47 and I was 21, my mother never attended high school, and I had to work my way through college. – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com
— What should you tell your children about up-or-out? If your children are White and/or male, you should tell them that Democrats and RINOs will use up-or-out to get rid of them if they are not making at least $100,000 by age 25, $200,000/year by age 30, $300,000 by age 35, $400,000 by age 40, etc. Because of that, unless your children become Democrats, they should do everything that they can to get good grades, to get the best ACT/SAT score that they can, to get accepted by the best college that they can, and to pick the right major. My Democrat IRS and GAO superiors used up-or-out to get rid of me. The Democrats who run the federal government use up-or-out to get rid of their employees who are not Democrat, minority, female, and/or veteran and who they do not promote to GS-13 ($117,807) by age 25, GS-14 ($139,211) by age 30, GS-15 ($163,749) by age 35, and Senior Executive Service ($195,200) by age 40. Extremely few federal employees make the aforesaid promotion deadlines. My Democrat IRS superiors got rid of me because I am not a Democrat, minority, female, or veteran and because I did not make GS-12 ($99,069) until I was 25 and I did not make GS-13 until I was 38. They did that notwithstanding my earning an MBA in business when I was 27, my passing the CPA examination on my first attempt when I was 30, my earning a master’s degree in accounting when I was 31, my passing the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt and becoming a licensed CPA when I was 32, my earning four more job-related professional certifications when I was 41, 45, 47, and 48, and my earning a master’s degree in finance when I was 48. – Dave Diersen

— According to my critics/opponents, low-level federal jobs should be Black jobs.

— US Sen. Dick Durbin says he won’t run for sixth term.

Further, I remember, as a Republican Precinct Committeeman, doing that for Duckworth’s opponent Salvi in 2022, for Kirk in 2016 and 2010, and Keyes in 2004.

(FROM THE ARTICLE: The GOP appears less poised to field a competitive Senate candidate in what is now a heavily Democratic state, but there has been some discussion about Richard Porter, an attorney who serves as the state’s Republican national committeeman. Also being touted by some Republicans is Rep. Ray LaHood, who represents Peoria and other downstate areas.)

CHICAGO MAGAZINE
— The 10 Pols Who Could Replace Dick Durbin
https://www.chicagomag.com/chicago-magazine/february-2024/the-10-pols-who-could-replace-dick-durbin/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: When U.S. senator Peter Fitzgerald announced his retirement in 2004, 16 candidates ran to succeed him. “Don’t you think it would be cool to be a senator?” one remarked. (Barack Obama, a state senator at the time, won — you might have heard of him.) . . . 5. Darin LaHood
The GOP will run a candidate, too, and LaHood is likely to be it. The last two times an Illinois Republican won a Senate race were 1998 and 2010 — nonpresidential years when a Democrat was in the White House, which seems to indicate that a Joe Biden reelection would help LaHood. (The Democrats also ran weak candidates those years.) Of the three Illinois Republicans in Congress, LaHood, elected to the House in 2015, is the most moderate. He’s from Peoria, which is Middle America personified. “He’s a guy who is politically disciplined and has not alienated the base,” says a conservative activist. “He can appeal to independents, too. He’s not a crazy MAGA.” Democrats would attack LaHood on abortion (he opposes) and voting with Trump on issues such as repealing Obamacare. He needs “to keep the race on economics and the lack of federal leadership, particularly with the border crisis,” the activist says.)

LATIN TIMES
— More Elected Democrats Are Becoming Republicans As The GOP Strengthens Grip On Texas. As the Democrat Party tightens its grip on Illinois, on DuPage County, on Milton Township, and on Wheaton, anticipate/expect that more elected Republicans will officially become Democrats. Anticipate/expect that sooner or later, all my critics/opponents who claim to be religious, conservative, and/or Republican will officially become Democrats. They all have always been anti-religious, anti-conservative, and/or anti-Republican. They all have always been RINOs if not Democrat plants. I should write about them. I would focus on those who have had their operatives and dupes take the most/biggest adverse actions against me lately.

— Melania Trump Reveals Barron Trump’s Living Situation For College. Like Barron, I lived with my parents while I attended college. I lived with them in Crete while I took classes at UIC 1966-1968, weekends while I attended NIU during the winter/spring of 1969, and the summer of 1969.
https://www.aol.com/melania-trump-reveals-barron-trumps-120119348.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Melania Trump said her son Barron Trump is living at home while he attends New York University. “I could not say I’m an empty nester. I don’t feel that way,” the former first lady told Fox & Friends’ Ainsley Earhardt in an interview that aired Thursday. “It was his decision to come here, that he wants to be in New York and study in New York and live in his home, and I respect that.” That would presumably mean that the new college man is living at the family’s longtime Trump Tower residence on Fifth Avenue and commuting a few miles south to the Greenwich Village campus. Barron Trump is former President Donald Trump’s youngest son and his only child with Melania Trump. He graduated from Oxbridge Academy in West Palm Beach, Florida, in May and began classes at NYU’s Stern School of Business in early September.)

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

Their rulings tremendously discourage those who share my demographics from applying to work for GAO. I am conservative, Republican, White, male, older, non-veteran, Protestant, German American, and I have ancestors who have been in America for a long time.

— 95 Percent of Federal Employees Express Liberal Views at Work. As I worked for the Democrats who ran the federal government for almost 30 years, my Democrat superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates got ever-increasingly anti-conservative, anti-Republican, anti-White, anti-male, anti-older people, anti-non-veteran, anti-Protestant, anti-German American, and/or anti-those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time. I should write about the aforesaid.

— Harvard is expanding free tuition in diversity push My father never earned more than $50,000/year in today’s dollars. Nevertheless, he believed that was too much to qualify for financial scholarships. And as my critics/opponents have always stressed, I did not qualify for scholastic scholarships because my ACT score was only 24 and I only just barely made it into the upper 20% of my high school class. Therefore, I worked my way through college.
https://thehill.com/homenews/education/5198613-harvard-free-tuition-diversity-ivy-league-supreme-court/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Harvard University announced Monday it will be expanding free tuition to more students, a move adopted by other schools since the Supreme Court ruled affirmative action could no longer be used in college admissions. Harvard said students from families making less than $200,000 a year will not be charged for tuition, expanding on a previous decision to make the school completely free, covering tuition, housing and other costs, for those coming from families making less than $100,000 a year.)

CENTRAL ILLINOIS PROUD
— Democrat leaders say that a new IRS program, Direct File, makes tax filing free and more efficient, but that Musk and DOGE may get rid of it anyway. (COMMENT: If you are a federal employee, and especially if you are an IRS employee, unofficially, if not officially, IRS audits all your returns. I was a federal employee 1966-1969 and 1971-1997 and I was an IRS employee 1971-1980. I started deducting my graduate business and accounting courses in 1972 and IRS had no problems with those deductions. But notwithstanding that, to get rid of me because I had complained about their political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination, my Democrat IRS superiors disallowed my education deductions in 1978. They outrageously, disgustingly, and falsely argued that the courses I deducted did not relate to my job duties, did not help maintain or improve my job skills, were taken by me to get a job in the private sector, and qualified me for a new trade or business. They ignored my IRS position descriptions, my graduate school applications, and that my IRS employee manual encouraged me to take those courses. The aforesaid is a big example of how the Democrats who run the federal government can and do use IRS to harm Republicans.)

I get a Civil Service Retirement System (CSRS) pension. According to my critics/opponents, it is much too sweet. But I paid 7% of my federal salary into CSRS for almost 30 years. Because my Democrat superiors wasted my career and forced me to retire when I was 49 years old in 1997, into today’s dollars, my CSRS pension is only 44% of what my salary was in 1997 and less than what my salary was in 1972.)

If there had been as many foreign-born in America when I was young, they would have had the jobs that I had. According to my critics/opponents, all the jobs that I had were bad jobs that they would never stoop to take.

https://www.dailyherald.com/20250312/letters-to-the-editor/boards-egregious-conduct/
(FROM THE LETTER: In 20 years of being deeply involved in DuPage County politics, I have never seen elected officials behave as disrespectfully and unprofessionally as the numerous Democratic Board members during the recent hearing on whether or not the board would remove Henry Hyde’s name from our county courthouse. The incredibly insulting idea to cancel the name of the prolific Henry Hyde was bad enough. But to cut off public comment on the proposal, after just 30 minutes, was something none of the many current and former officials in attendance had ever seen before. It was a terrible insult to all of the people who cared deeply about the legacy of Henry Hyde. People came from all over to speak at this hearing. Sadly, the majority of the board did not care to hear them. While these board members try to paint Hyde as a conservative extremist, Hyde’s legacy is not extreme and is very nuanced. Yes, Hyde was pro-life and he sponsored the Hyde Amendment (a bill that both Joe Biden and Ted Kennedy also voted for). Hyde led on the Brady Bill and Family Leave Act. Jesse Jackson Jr. gave remarks at Hyde’s memorial services and pointed to Hyde’s ability to work across the aisle. Hyde was very bipartisan in approach, a concept that is unfortunately lost by politicians today…certainly by the Democratic members of the DuPage County Board. Hyde’s collaborating and inclusive approach to legislating is sorely missed. We should do our best to remember his name and style, not forget it. Hopefully residents learn about what happened at this hearing. It was evident to all in attendance that the Board cared a whole lot more about pandering to their political activists than about good government.)

JOURNAL COURIER
— Democrat leaders say “Federal workers deserve respect, not cruelty.” (COMMENT: I should write about my critics/opponents who despise/hate federal employees and federal retirees the most. According to them, federal employees are grossly overpaid and their benefits are far too generous, and for federal retirees, their pensions and health insurance benefits are far too generous. I was a despised/hated federal employee for almost 30 years and I have been a despised/hated federal retiree for more than 27 years. While I was a federal employee, my salary increased from $19.37/hour to $153,151/year in today’s dollars. My Civil Service Retirement System pension is $66,780/year. The federal government pays 72% of my and my wife’s health insurance premiums. In my defense, while I was a federal employee, I earned a) a job-related bachelor’s degree, b) three job-related master’s degrees, c) six job-related professional certifications, and d) a job-related professional license.)

https://lakeconews.com/news/81048-5-reasons-veterans-are-especially-hard-hit-by-federal-cuts
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Federal law requires employers to give veterans an advantage in hiring over people who have not served in the military. Under the 1944 Veterans Preference Act, employers should hire veterans over other candidates and retain veterans over other employees during layoffs. The idea is to compensate for the economic loss of serving in the military and acknowledge the government’s obligation, especially, to support disabled veterans. Due to this veterans preference, nearly 30% of federal workers are veterans, half of whom are disabled. This means that veterans, who make up 6.1% of the U.S. population, are disproportionately affected by federal worker cuts. One estimate is that of the 38,000 federal employees fired in the first five weeks of the Trump administration, 6,000 are veterans.)
