They ever-increasingly hint/imply/argue/shout that anyone with as many credentials I have should have had a far more successful career than I had. They stress that my ending federal salary in 1997 was only $153,151/year in today’s dollars. They stress the many adverse actions that my superiors in the federal government took against me. They stress that Republican candidates, elected officials, and party leaders in Illinois, DuPage County, Milton Township, and Wheaton continue to ignore/dismiss/belittle my credentials. They ever-increasingly hint/imply/argue/shout that my lack of career success and Republican ignoring/dismissing/belittling of my credentials is because I am an extremely bad person.

— On the GOP side, attorney Jeannie Evans has officially entered the fray, launching her U.S. Senate campaign by presenting herself as a consumer advocate and working mom who has spent her career challenging major corporations. She steps into a marquee Republican primary against former Illinois GOP Chair Don Tracy. “There are important issues that demand leadership,” Evans said in her announcement. “Illinoisans deserve a fresh voice in Washington. I’m a political outsider and working mother who has taken on powerful corporations to help lower the cost of living.” Her résumé includes time at Kirkland & Ellis in Chicago, co-founding a litigation firm, and serving as a partner at plaintiff-side class-action firm Hagens Berman Sobol Shapiro. Evans is also active in the Federalist Society and says she’s committed to working with President Donald Trump on lowering costs, reducing crime, and expanding education and job opportunities.

(FROM THE ARTICLE: “A lot of younger people today don’t have any stake in the capitalist system because they don’t have any capital,” Antle said. “They study in college, they accumulate a lot of debt to pay off their student loans, and then they are not in a position where they can afford to buy a home when they graduate, so they’re perennially renting. They don’t really feel like they benefit from a lot of aspects of the free enterprise system.” Antle highlights the appeal of socialist candidates, such as newly elected New York Mayor-elect Mamdani. “He ran on an explicitly Democratic Socialist platform,” Antle said. “Many of the people who voted for him were younger professionals making six-figure salaries, but in an expensive city like New York, and in a place where they’re very unlikely to own their own homes, own any of their own property. They really feel the crushing burden of how expensive everything is in the city, and they don’t see how the free market system is really benefiting them.”)

— DD: Democrat leaders ever-increasingly shout at everyone that if you have less money than your peers, it is because of Trump. I have way less money than my peers who earned college degrees, professional certifications, and a professional license like I did. But I have way less money because my Democrat superiors in the federal government wasted my career and forced me to retire when I was 49 years old in 1997.

GOVERNMENT EXECUTIVE
— 200 DOJ employees who left under Trump say admin is making ‘coordinated effort’ to undermine career staff. The Justice Department is actively pushing out career employees working on civil rights, they say. DD: According to Democrats, the federal government exists to get rid of Republicans, and especially Republicans who are conservative, White, male, older, non-veteran, non-poor, Protestant, German American, and/or have ancestors who have been in America for a long time.

Because I opposed that discrimination, my Democrat superiors in the federal government wasted my career and forced me to retire when I was 49 years old in 1997.

ILLINOIS REVIEW
— New Data Exposes Illinois GOP Crisis: Millions of Republicans Aren’t Voting, Party Leaders to Blame. DD: Illinois Republicans see how Illinois Republican leaders have treated me and have treated my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters since 2000. I should write about those Illinois Republican leaders who have blamed conservatives like me, that is, who have blamed platform Republicans like me, for Republican losses in Illinois the most since 2000. Political parties exist to help elect candidates who can and will defend and advance their platform. The Republican Party platform ins conservative. Far too many Illinois Republican leaders fail/refuse to defend and advance far too many planks in that platform.
https://www.illinoisreview.com/illinoisreview/2025/12/new-data-exposes-illinois-gop-crisis-millions-of-republicans-arent-voting-party-leaders-to-blame.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: New voter-participation data circulating among Illinois conservatives is highlighting what many now argue is the real and long-running crisis inside the Illinois Republican Party: collapsing enthusiasm, shrinking turnout, and a leadership class that has failed the base for more than two decades. Illinois has 12.5 million residents, with roughly 10 million old enough to vote. About 8 million are registered. Yet only 6 million typically vote in a presidential cycle, and just 4 million show up for midterms. According to attorney Tom DeVore, who has studied the numbers closely, the picture for Republicans is even worse. . .For twenty years, the Illinois GOP establishment has presided over shrinking maps, shrinking turnout, shrinking relevance, and a stunning refusal to engage real voters on real issues. “You can complain about the Democrats all day long, but at the end of the day they just want it more badly than Republicans,” DeVore said. “We have a voter-enthusiasm problem in Illinois Republican politics. The party sucks, so Republicans don’t vote.” He argues the problem is not Democrat strength — it’s Republican failure. “Republicans not voting allows bad Republican leaders to stay in office,” he said. “It’s a vicious circle that only a group of people with real courage and talent can resolve.” And while party insiders often bristle at criticism, DeVore says the truth is simple: “They want to blow smoke and tell you it’s the Democrats’ problem, when in reality it’s Republican leadership’s failures.” Democrats already dominate every level of state government, and without a significant shift in Republican engagement, 2026 would simply reinforce the trend. The emerging data shows a participation gap, not a population gap — and unless those millions of inactive Republican-leaning voters reenter the process, Illinois’ political landscape is likely to remain exactly where it has been for the past two decades.)

I did not take and pass the Certified Internal Auditing examination until I was 32. I did not become a licensed CPA until I was 32. By then, the accounting profession saw me as being far too old to have a successful career in accounting. The profession would not have done that if I had been a minority or a female.

ROLL CALL
— Congress must become a champion guard dog to defend its watchdog. A hostile executive branch could be in charge of the legislative branch’s investigations.

They have also ignored/dismissed/belittled/badmouthed a) my earning master’s degrees in business, accounting, and finance, b) my earning professional certifications in accounting, internal auditing, fraud examination, government financial management, financial services auditing, and forensic accounting, and c) my becoming a licensed CPA. I should write about my critics/opponents. I would focus on past and present Republican a) federal candidates and elected officials and b) Illinois, DuPage County, and Milton Township party leaders.
https://rollcall.com/2025/12/08/congress-must-become-a-champion-guard-dog-to-defend-its-watchdog/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: On Dec. 29, the 15-year term of Comptroller General Gene L. Dodaro will end, leaving the Government Accountability Office without a Senate-confirmed leader. The Trump administration has made no secret of its hostility toward GAO, and this creates a dangerous opening for the executive branch to undermine or even capture the agency that exists for one purpose: to help Congress do its job. The current president and his allies in Congress have publicly targeted GAO, recognizing that a weakened watchdog means weakened oversight of executive action. GAO support to Congress extends beyond any single administration. If GAO is captured or hollowed out, the damage will outlast the current presidency. Rebuilding independent investigative capacity takes decades. Losing it takes a moment of inattention. At stake is the legislative branch authority and responsibility set forth in Article I of the Constitution to oversee the executive branch. Congress must act immediately to protect GAO during the transition. This means forming a visible, bipartisan, bicameral coalition — backed by constitutional experts—to reject any executive interference with the legislative branch agency. Any attempt by the current president to appoint, nominate, or direct GAO leadership should be challenged publicly and legally. The message must be unambiguous: GAO belongs to Congress. Most Americans have never heard of GAO. That’s by design. The agency operates as Congress’s nonpartisan, nonpolitical right hand — conducting audits, evaluations, and investigations that give legislators the facts they need to oversee federal programs and hold the executive branch accountable. GAO doesn’t make policy or substitute its judgment for Congress’s. It provides the independent, professional analysis that makes genuine oversight possible.)

LAW AND THE WORPKPLACE
— EEOC Issues Updated Guidance on National Origin Discrimination DD: I am 100% German national origin and a Missouri Synod Lutheran. All my employers would have hired noncitizens and/or non-German Americans instead of me if they could have. There are many negative German stereotypes. SEE: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stereotypes_of_Germans I lived in Crete 1948-1972 when it was overwhelmingly German American and Lutheran. While I was a Firestone Store employee for more than 2 years and a federal employee for almost 30 years, many, most, and at times virtually all of my supervisors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates had loved ones who were killed by Germans. In my defense, I stressed that while all my ancestors immigrated from what is now Germany, they all immigrated way back in 1840s and 1850s. I stressed that my grandfather on my father’s side fought the Germans in WWI. I stressed that my uncles on my mother’s side fought the Germans in WWII. I stressed that my father would have fought the Germans in WWII if he had not been 4-F.
https://www.lawandtheworkplace.com/2025/12/eeoc-issues-updated-guidance-on-national-origin-discrimination/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The EEOC has issued a one-page technical assistance document, “Discrimination Against American Workers Is Against the Law” and updated its national origin discrimination landing page, reinforcing national origin discrimination protections with a focus on immigration-related issues. The latest guidance follows the EEOC’s previous 2016 Enforcement Guidance on National Origin Discrimination, which remains in effect. Title VII, which is enforced by the EEOC, prohibits employment discrimination because of race, color, religion, sex, or national origin, and applies to most private employers with 15 or more employees. Under Title VII, discrimination based on national origin with respect to compensation and other terms and conditions of employment is unlawful, and employers are prohibited from limiting, segregating or classifying employees in a way that could deprive them of opportunities based on their national origin. The new technical assistance document defines national origin discrimination as “treating employees or applicants unfavorably or favorably because they are from a particular country or part of the world, because of ethnicity or accent, or because they appear to be of a certain ethnic background.” The landing page emphasizes that Title VII protects all workers, “including Americans,” and explains that national origin discrimination can include preferring foreign workers, including workers with certain visa statuses, over American workers. It further highlights that discrimination can occur when the victim and the person engaging in the discrimination are of the same national origin.)

— The GOP Can’t Agree on a Healthcare Plan. Some Republicans Are Panicking. Senate is expected to vote this week on Democratic-backed measure to extend enhanced healthcare subsidies. DD: Ever since I became a part-time postal employee when was 18 years old in 1966, my critics/opponents have been furious that the federal government has paid 72% of my healthcare insurance premiums. They have been even more furious ever since I got married I was 29 years old and the federal government started paying 72% of my wife’s healthcare insurance premiums. That 72% subsidy is a major reason why people despise/hate federal employees, federal retirees, and their spouses. That 72% subsidy helped me withstand tremendous efforts by my Democrat superiors in the federal government to waste my career and to get rid of me.

(FROM THE ROUNDUP: Illinois Bankers Association CEO Randy Hultgren is retiring … Illinois Bankers Association CEO Randy Hultgren has informed his board of directors he will be retiring from the helm of the statewide business group at the end of the 2026 Spring legislative session. “The IBA is in strong financial shape. We’ve had record participation in recent conferences and we’re coming off legislative and legal wins to protect our members and their customers,” Hultgren said. “We’ve united as an industry to battle the ill-conceived Interchange Fee Prohibition Act that would cause financial losses to Illinois small businesses, hurt consumers and make Illinois banks an outlier in the nation’s banking system. We’ve invested in programs to build talented future leaders for the banking industry; and our organization helped draft the “Access to Credit in Rural Economies Act” which made it into federal law this year and will make it easier for farmers and rural homeowners to access low-cost credit. […] The Board of Directors says a search will begin immediately to succeed Hultgren. “While we would have preferred Randy stay, we respect his decision to step down next year and we’re thankful for his accomplishments on behalf of Illinois bankers. He has led the IBA through a period of unprecedented success and his legislative expertise as a former state and federal lawmaker made us the most effective voice for banks in Springfield, Washington, D.C. and Chicago,” said IBA Board Chair T.J. Burge, president and CEO of the Community Partners Savings Bank in Salem, Illinois. “We’re grateful for the time Randy is committing to our search process, participating in the spring legislative session in Springfield and helping the next leader transition into office. Randy’s successor will have big shoes to fill.”)

I bought a new townhome in University Park ( https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/774-Sunset-Ct-5-University-Park-IL-60484/5451474_zpid/ ) when I was 24 years old in 1972.

FED SMITH
— Are You a Non-Essential Federal Employee? How did the “essential” and “non-essential” labels begin, why did they spread during shutdowns, and why are they still in use? DD: Ever since I became a part-time postal employee when I was 18 years old in 1966, my critics/opponents have demonized me, denigrated me, and condemned me as being non-essential. My critics/opponents despise/hate past, present, and future federal employees. I should write about that.
https://www.fedsmith.com/2025/12/02/are-you-non-essential-federal-employee/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: If so, what does the non-essential label mean? Your job is not important? Does it mean the federal government does not think your job is important? Does it impact your pay during a government shutdown? Is it a derogatory term? How and when did essential and non-essential terms come into being to describe federal employee jobs?. . .Stigma and morale: The public label “non-essential” can harm morale and public perceptions of federal employees, even if it is technically shorthand for “work that cannot legally continue during a lapse.” The use of the term non-essential (e.g., Time magazine’s phraseology noted above) amplifies and shapes public conversation about the necessity or usefulness of particular government services.)

(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.)

USA TODAY
— 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.

TIME
— DD: My critics/opponents who have had their operatives and their dupes take adverse actions against me demand blind loyalty. They destroy those like me who they cannot manipulate or dominate, who refuse to glorify and paise 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.

— 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.)

(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.)

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.)

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.

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.

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.

(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.)

I became eligible for early retirement when I was 45 years old in 1993. I survived until I was 49 in 1997. I would not have those 4 years if I had not earned three job-related master’s degrees (1976, 1980, and 1997), earned six job-related professional certifications (1979, 1981, 1990, 1994, 1996, and 1997), and earned a job-related professional license (1981). So far, the Democrats who run the federal government have forced the Civil Service Retirement System to pay me $1.9 million in today’s dollars to stop me from coming to work.)

AMERICAN ENTERPRISE INSTITUTE
— Senate and Trump on a Collision Course Over the Leadership of the GAO
https://www.aei.org/op-eds/senate-and-trump-on-a-collision-course-over-the-leadership-of-the-gao/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Gene L. Dodaro is not a household name. He is a mild-mannered man who is rarely seen without a necktie and dark suit, and who speaks in a flat, matter-of-fact tone. He has worked for the federal government since 1973. Yet, his retirement in December may well set off a separation-of-powers battle royale between President Donald Trump and Congress. Dodaro is the head of the Government Accountability Office, which has been a thorn in the president’s side during his second term. And by law, Trump gets to nominate the next Comptroller General, as the GAO’s leader is termed. Long before there was the Department of Government Efficiency, there was the GAO, which regularly publicly exposes governmental cost overruns and failed policies that squander taxpayer dollars. Congress established the nonpartisan agency in 1921 to audit agencies and help lawmakers root out fraud and rein in the federal deficit. Today, GAO may be best known for its frequent reporting on “improper payments” flowing from executive agencies, which amounted to more than $160 billion last year. The agency’s deep-dive investigations of federal agency operations, such as the use of solitary confinement in federal prisons, often stoke congressional oversight. Trump has made it a policy to bring to heel government watchdogs his administration views as needlessly interfering in matters best left to executive branch officials. Trump has fired or demoted at least 20 inspector generals, whose job it is to uncover illicit doings by executive branch agencies, since returning to office in January. The president also canned the heads of the Office of Government Ethics and the Office of Special Counsel, both of whom set policies aimed at curbing mischief by federal officials. Earlier this year, the White House sought to embed a team of individuals from the DOGE in GAO. The agency rebuffed them and released a letter it sent to DOGE that declared, “GAO is a legislative branch agency that conducts work for Congress. As such, we are not subject to DOGE or Executive Orders.” Repeatedly, the White House has clashed with GAO over its legal opinions faulting various executive agencies for failing to spend congressionally appropriated funds. Last month, for example, Dodaro’s team deemed illegal the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s “withholding, delaying, or effectively precluding the obligation or expenditure of budget authority” for a few disaster mitigation and relief programs. Subsequently, Russ Vought, the head of the president’s Office of Management and Budget, told executive agency heads that GAO’s reports and legal opinions should be considered “non-binding” on them. In September, the clash flared up again. Vought criticized GAO, telling a conference of conservatives, “We are not big fans of GAO. They are a quasi-legislative independent entity … something that shouldn’t exist.” Dodaro defended his agency in a statement to the media. “Clearly, Russell Vought does not value transparency and accountability,” Dodaro said. “GAO’s mission is to support Congress in carrying out its constitutional responsibilities. During my tenure as Comptroller General alone, GAO’s work has saved taxpayers over $1.2 trillion and resulted in tens of thousands of improvements to how federal programs work.” Dodaro’s 15-year term expires on Dec. 29, and Trump quite probably would prefer he be replaced with someone who would call off GAO’s oversight dogs. At first blush, it might appear the president is likely to get his way. The GOP-controlled Senate has shown itself willing to vote for weak or ill-qualified nominees for high positions. Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., for example, was made the Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services despite having little management experience and some crank ideas about health. Yet, a closer look suggests the president may face an uphill battle in the Senate. Republican senators have been willing to deep-six Trump appointees, particularly to low-profile positions. Trump has withdrawn a record high of 48 nominations this year. In recent weeks, they have forced the withdrawal of nominees to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the Export-Import Bank, and the Office of Special Counsel. They also appear to be rejecting Trump’s proposed ambassador to Kuwait. Many, if not most, senators value GAO’s work. Unlike, say, communications from lobbyists, interest groups, and their political parties, GAO reports and opinions are factually-based. The agency does not get more money or rewards from helping a legislator understand why fraudsters can rip off the federal SNAP food program. GAO’s value would be greatly diminished if senators approved a new comptroller general who viewed himself as the president’s advocate and defender. Nor does it appear likely that Trump could circumvent the Senate and install an acting head of GAO. The law empowers the GAO deputy director to take over the top position when Dodaro’s term ends, and it requires Congress to form a commission headed by the majority and minority leaders of both chambers to propose potential nominees for the president’s consideration. And not to be forgotten is that Congress rebuffed Trump the last time he attempted this maneuver. This spring, his acting appointees were turned away from the Library of Congress and the Copyright Office, with the support of both Senate and House GOP leaders.)

— Reclaiming America’s Story, Before Her 250th Birthday
https://townhall.com/columnists/mark-weaver/2025/11/25/ben-franklin-n2666956
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Yet, as America nears its 250th birthday, we’re still subjected to revisionist accounts by historians who let personal ideology guide their conclusions. Their accounts drip with presentism, fixating on flaws while ignoring the revolutionary ideals that make us exceptional. Their echo chamber rings with the same off-key refrains about slavery and purported systemic racism. Let’s be clear: to all their shame, nearly every country in the world saw slavery within its borders. Some still do. Yet America is the only major country that ever fought a civil war to end it. Chattel slavery in southern states doesn’t define America; how we ended it — and that we ended it — does. Those who falsely allege systemic racism here ignore our constitutional provisions that guarantee equal protection of the law. It took more than a century for those promises to be kept, but they’ve never been stronger. Instances of racism exist because sin exists, and no country has done as much as America to quell it. Immigrants of every skin color seek to come here because they recognize that racism doesn’t define America — the muscular body of law that redresses individual cases of it does. No nation populated by imperfect humans can ever be perfect, but America stretches closest to that unreachable goal.)

The EEOC released new and updated educational materials to reaffirm and emphasize legal protections against national origin discrimination, which can include preferring foreign workers by advertising job openings as only available to H-1B visa holders. The EEOC’s efforts were a result of the department’s recently announced H-1B enforcement initiative Project Firewall, which aims to safeguard the rights, wages, and job opportunities of highly skilled American workers. The ongoing project ensures employers prioritize qualified Americans when hiring and includes enforcement actions to hold employers accountable if they abuse the H-1B visa program.)

DD: While I worked for the Democrats who ran the federal government for almost 30 years, to hire, retain, and promote more young Democrat minorities and females, they ever-increasingly lowered standards. That ever-increasingly rendered worthless my a) my job-related bachelor’s degree, b) my three job-related master’s degrees, c) my six job-related professional certifications, and d) my job-related professional license. All my coworkers who my Democrat superiors promoted over me were Democrats who a) had less work experience than I had, b) had less education than I had, c) had no professional certifications or fewer than I had, and/or d) had no professional license like the one I had.
https://spectrumlocalnews.com/us/snplus/news/2025/11/21/pair-of-democratic-senators-press-for-information-on-hiring–training-standards-for-ice-agents
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Democratic Sens. Alex Padilla of California and Cory Booker of New Jersey are pressing the Department of Homeland Security for information on its standards and practices for hiring and training new Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents, warning the administration’s full-force effort to surge the number of officers it employs suggests it may be “cutting corners” and “loosening” requirements.)

JUST THE NEWS
— GAO warns that IRS hasn’t implemented most recommendations to improve agency operations. DD: The Democrats who ran GAO 1980-1997 wasted my knowledge of IRS. When I transferred from IRS to GAO when I was 31 years old in 1980, I brought with me the knowledge of IRS operations that I had gained by working for IRS for almost 9 years, the last 5 1/2 years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 Levels, currently $99,069-$112,280/year. The Democrats who ran GAO kept off audits of IRS for all but 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for GAO. They would not have done that if I had been a Democrat, minority, female, and/or veteran. Democrats do not want Republicans to audit Democrats.
https://justthenews.com/government/federal-agencies/gao-says-irs-hasnt-implemented-most-their-recommendations-improve
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) hasn’t implemented most of the Government Accountability Office’s “priority recommendations” and is still struggling with deep-rooted operational problems, according to a new report ( https://www.gao.gov/assets/gao-25-108066.pdf ) released publicly this week. “GAO identified 30 priority recommendations for the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). Since then, IRS has implemented five of those recommendations by designating a dedicated unit for addressing business identity theft fraud and assessing how online services may reduce taxpayer burden, among other things,” the GAO said. “In addition, GAO removed one recommendation related to reporting by third-party service providers, because it no longer warrants priority attention.” In a letter to Acting IRS Commissioner Scott Bessent, Comptroller General Gene Dodaro highlighted urgent areas in need of attention, including the widening tax gap, taxpayer services, and cybersecurity. The GAO flagged 26 open high-priority recommendations and 204 other open recommendations that remain unresolved.)
GAO
— Surveillance: Potential Effects on Workers and Roles of Federal Agencies. DD: While I worked for the Democrats who ran the federal government for almost 30 years, they monitored me very closely to find things to use against me, that is, to get rid of me. To make my superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates envious of me, my Democrat GAO superiors stressed what I had including a) three job-related master’s degrees, six job-related professional certifications, and a job-related professional license, b) my wife’s income and job benefits, c) our having no dependents, d) our home in Wheaton, e) our cars, f) our being debt-free, g) our retirement savings, h) etc. My Democrat superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates in the federal government always painted themselves as being grossly underpaid. They always stressed the tremendous cost of raising children.

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.

— 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.

BUSINESS INSIDER
— DD: Democrats run the federal government. When Republicans cut federal budgets, Democrats use those cuts to get rid of their Republican employees starting with those who are White, male, older, or nonveteran. While I worked for the Democrats who ran GAO 1980-1997, Republicans ever-increasingly cut GAO’s budget. I never would have survived for almost 18 years if I had not earned three job-related master’s degrees, earned six job-related professional certifications, and earned a job-related professional license.

— Five stages of job loss. DD: My Democrat GAO superiors’ success in forcing me to retire when I was 49 years old in 1997 continues to have a tremendous negative impact on me. I had earned job-related master’s degrees when I was 48, 31, and 27. I had earned job-related professional certifications when I was 48, 47, 45, 41, 32 and 30. I had earned a job-related professional license when I was 32. I had worked for GAO for almost 18 years, the last 11 years of which at the GS-13 Step 1-10 Levels, currently $117,807-$153,151/year. I would have been eligible for regular retirement when I was 55. My Civil Service Retirement System pension is dramatically less. The stigma of being forced to retire early is tremendous.
https://www.mercurynews.com/2025/11/17/jill-on-money-five-stages-of-job-loss/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: “Jobs create structure and routine, they provide an outlet for talent, social connection and a sense of safety and control,” she said. So even if you are prepared for a potential cut, the emotional impact is significant. Melnick invoked Dr. Elisabeth Kübler-Ross’s “Five stages of grief”: denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance, as a way to understand why a job loss can be so devastating.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Citizens of the red states that voted for Trump in 2016, 2020 and 2024 are far poorer than blue states that did not. Mississippi, for example, has a per capita income about half of that of Massachusetts. Nine of the top 10 states in per capita income are blue. Nine of the bottom 10 are red.

She lost thanks largely to Hultgren and Roskam endorsing me. They have not been able to get someone to run against me since then. In 2015, they gerrymandered my precinct to force me to run against Ives. But the precinct lines were redrawn.

Ever since I became a Republican Precinct Committeeman in 1999, my critics/opponents who dominate the Milton Township Republican Organization (MTRO) have tried very hard to get me to resign. I should write about them. MTRO rudely unsuccessfully ran one of their operatives/dupes against me for Precinct Committeeman in 2000. MTRO rudely fired me as its webmaster in 2004 and 2010. The Illinois Center Right Coalition rudely tried to censure me for my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters in 2006 and in rudely ended my membership on its Steering Committee in 2007. TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois rudely got me to not run again for chairman in 2012.

— What do those who have taken adverse actions against you have in common? My critics/opponents who have had their operatives and their dupes take adverse actions against me demand blind loyalty. They destroy those like me who they cannot manipulate or dominate, who refuse to glorify and paise 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. They reject some, many, most, virtually all, if not all conservative principles and planks in the Republican Party platform. 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.)

FEDERALIST
— 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.

LAW 360
— Meet The Judge Weighing EEOC Disparate Impact Cases. DD: Democrat and RINO leaders use disparate impact to get more votes from minorities and from women. They 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. My mother never attended high school. I had to work my way through college.

Of course, according to Democrat leaders, there is no such thing as an illegal. According to Democrat leaders, anyone and everyone in the world can and should come into America and stay in America. Democrats leaders will use them to get rid of Republicans once and for all starting with Republicans who are conservative, White, male, older, non-poor, married, heterosexual, Protestant, German American, and/or have ancestors who have been in America for a long time.

In 2021, they rudely ended my service as the Republican fundraiser for Wheaton Independence Day parades and fireworks. In 2015, they rudely gerrymandered my precinct.

In 2007, they rudely ended my Illinois Center Right Coalition (ICRC) Steering Committee membership. In 2006, they almost got ICRC to rudely censure me for my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters. In 2004, they rudely defeated me (69 to 13) when I ran for an open MTRO Treasurer position. In 2004, they rudely ended my American Association of Political Consultants Midwest Chapter board membership in 2004. MTRO rudely unsuccessfully ran one of their operatives/dupes against me for Precinct Committeeman in 2000. In 1997, my critics/opponents forced me to retire when I was 49 years old. I should write about my critics/opponents. I would stress what they have in common.

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.

— Antisemitism Betrays America’s Heritage. DD: My Democrat superiors in the federal government forced my many Jewish superiors and supervisors to take many big adverse actions against me. They stressed that I was conservative, Republican, Protestant, German American, and that I lived in Crete 1948-1972 and in Wheaton since 1978. 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, and that my father would have fought the Germans in WWII if he had not been 4-F.

HUFFINGTON POST
— Senate Republicans Want To Charge Federal Workers Thousands Of Dollars For Job Security. DD: For Democrats, the federal government exists to hire Democrats, to retain Democrats, and to promote Democrats.
https://www.aol.com/senate-republicans-want-charge-federal-163110256.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Senate Republicans are pursuing a plan through their “big, beautiful bill” that would force new federal employees to pay for traditional job protections, a major reform that unions have decried as “extortion.” The measure put forth late last week by the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee mirrors a similar one House Republicans included in their version of the reconciliation bill that passed last month. It would require federal workers to pay thousands of additional dollars into their government retirement plans each year unless they choose to be “at-will” employees who can be fired without cause. The cost to workers is even steeper in the Senate legislation. Whereas the House version would require new hires to pay an additional 5% of their salary to avoid being at-will, the Senate version hikes it to a whopping 10%. Even those who forgo civil service protections would still have to chip in another 5% — a measure not included in the House bill. In other words, a new federal worker on a $50,000 salary would be paying an extra $2,500 into the retirement plan compared to a veteran employee. And if that new worker wanted the same job protections as the veteran, they would have to pay an extra $5,000 instead.)
