FED SMITH
— House Oversight Committee Advances Benefits Cuts Package
https://www.fedsmith.com/2025/04/30/house-oversight-committee-advances-benefits-cuts-package/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Among the cuts in the legislation are raising the FERS contribution rate to 4.4% for all federal employees, eliminating the FERS annuity supplement and switching from a high-3 average salary to high-5. There also is a provision that would give newly hired federal employees the option to elect to serve as at-will employees in exchange for higher take home pay with a lower FERS contribution rate. Accepting the at-will status option would keep the FERS contribution rate at 4.4%, but retaining civil service protections would add 5% to the retirement contribution (9.4% total). Another provision would require federal employees to pay a $350 fee to reduce frivolous employee appeals to the Merit Systems Protection Board (MSPB) regarding agency disciplinary adverse actions. The proposed cuts were being considered as the House Oversight Committee looked to slash $50 billion from the overall federal budget as it debated its portion of the larger overall FY 2025 spending bill. In remarks he made at Wednesday’s markup session, Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY) said: World-class employment benefits provided to federal employees are well-known, which can include eleven paid holidays; various incentives and awards; health, life, and long-term care insurance; flexible spending accounts; student loan repayment and forgiveness plans; generous leave and workplace flexibilities; and childcare, professional development, and commuter subsidies. The simple truth is that a significant amount of the costs associated with all of these benefits are funded by hardworking taxpayers in the private sector and increasingly now federal government borrowing. The legislation before us today advances important budgetary reforms that will save taxpayers money. Democrats as well as one Republican voted against the legislation in Wednesday’s markup session. Congressman Mike Turner (R-OH) opposed cutting pensions for federal employees as part of the deficit reduction, and he had said prior to the markup session that he would be voting against the bill. He wrote in a statement on X: The goal of reconciliation should be to reduce overall government spending by eliminating waste, fraud, and abuse and reducing needless and unnecessary spending. I oppose any and all efforts to reduce federal spending by taking money from the hard-earned pensions of federal workers. Employee benefits are not a gift. They are earned. I will not support and will not vote for the Oversight Committee’s current budget reconciliation proposal reducing earned pension benefits for current federal employees. In remarks he made at the markup session, Congressman Stephen Lynch (D-MA) said: This partisan bill threatens to further undermine the federal workforce, by reducing the take-home pay, benefits, and workforce protections of 2.4 million federal employees, most of whom are middle-class American workers and a third of whom are military veterans. This is more of the same; an unprecedented assault and political purge of the civil service. The legislative package now advances to the House Budget Committee. Turner also said he thinks that changes are likely to be made to the legislation as it progresses through the legislative process, namely that the cuts to federal employee pensions to which he was opposed would ultimately be eliminated. During Wednesday’s markup session, he reiterated his opposition to the legislation, saying, “I believe that making changes to pension retirement benefits in the middle of someone’s employment is wrong. Changing the rules, especially when someone’s already been vested, is wrong.” He also added, “I have talked to enough people on the House floor that I do think that this [pension cuts] will not be included in the final bill, and that this bill ultimately will have to be changed if it’s going to be included in the ultimate budget reconciliation.” Whether any of these proposed cuts become reality will be determined by what makes it into the final budget legislation if and when it becomes law. As Congressman Turner noted, changes are likely to be made as it goes through the legislative process. FedSmith will continue to provide any updates as they become available.)

— Saigon fell 50 years ago. Back then, I was a 26-year-old IRS employee. Virtually all of my superiors and supervisors were Democrat veterans. They blamed non-veteran Republicans for the fall of Saigon. I was one of an extremely few non-veteran Republicans in the office. My Democrat IRS superiors and supervisors who were veterans held my avoiding the Vietnam War draft against me big time. They had disallowed my travel vouchers in 1974. They had made it clear that they would never promote me to GS-13. They disallowed my education deductions in 1978. They ignored/dismissed/belittled my passing the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979.

— The mainstream news media exists not only to destroy Trump, but to destroy all those who voted for him. – Dave Diersen
— The more demographics that you share with a candidate, the more likely that you will vote for that candidate. How many demographics do you share with Trump? Anticipate/expect that the more that you do, the more success that Pritzker will have making those in your county, township, municipality, school district, and precinct hate you. Trump is conservative, Republican, White, male, older, non-veteran, Protestant, German American, and his ancestors have been in America for a long time. I should write about the success that Pritzker has had in DuPage County, Milton Township, Wheaton, Wheaton Warrenville School District 200, and my precinct. The more demographics that you share with Trump, the more steps that you should take to protect yourself from hate-filled Trump-hating Trump-haters. – Dave Diersen

https://www.dailyherald.com/20250425/business/car-condo-project-pitched-for-lake-zurich-would-include-clubhouse-luxury-car-dealership/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The developer of the Sanctuary of Lake Zurich residential community wants to build a different kind of condo project in town. Luxury still would be the watchword but these units would be used to store classic and rare cars, some worth millions of dollars. And there is a ready market, says Romeo Kapudija. “It’s shocking to me how many rare cars are out there and how much they’re valued at but this is a very popular business model right now and type of development and they’re selling out across the country,” he explained to the Lake Zurich village board this week during a courtesy review of Luxe Corsa Car Condominiums. . .Kapudija said the market is hot for these types of developments, referencing Iron Gate in Naperville and another planned in Barrington as examples of their popularity. Iron Gate Motor Condos was among the first in Illinois to offer space exclusively for classic, collector or exotic vehicles. Ground was broken on 50 acres near Interstate 88 and Route 59 in 2014. “Proof of concept didn’t exist when I started,” said commercial builder, car enthusiast and founder Tom Burgess. “I had to go out of state and bring in people who could explain it” to city officials. Popularity fueled expansion to include 40,000 square feet of auto-related retail. “It turned into more than just the condos,” he said. “There’s a huge car community in Chicagoland. It’s deep and broad. It’s amazing.”)

— As IRS Collections Rise, Clear Start Tax Urges Taxpayers to Take Advantage of the Fresh Start Initiative. I worked for IRS’s Collection Division 1971-1980, the last 5 1/2 years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 Levels, currently $99,069-$112,280/year. I should write about my critics/opponents who have used that against me the most. In my defense, I would not have become an IRS employee a) if Oldsmobile had not offered me a job in 1971, b) if my Firestone Store boss had not rudely fired me because I accepted that offer, c) if Oldsmobile had not withdrawn its job offer saying it had just agreed to stop hiring Whites to settle an EEOC complaint, and d) if I didn’t have to have a job.

(COMMENT: With IRS Enforcement Increasing in 2025, Clear Start Tax Reminds Americans They Still Have Time to Resolve Back Taxes Through Relief Programs. As the IRS steps up its collection efforts in 2024, more Americans are receiving notices, facing wage garnishments, or dealing with tax liens. In response, Clear Start Tax is urging taxpayers with unresolved IRS debt to act quickly and explore relief options under the IRS Fresh Start Initiative, a program designed to help individuals and businesses resolve back taxes affordably. The IRS recently announced renewed funding and a more aggressive stance on collections, which means taxpayers who have ignored or delayed addressing their debt could face heavier enforcement actions in the months ahead. The Urgency of Exploring Debt Resolution Programs As IRS collection efforts intensify, it’s critical for taxpayers with unresolved debt to act before enforcement escalates. The IRS Fresh Start Initiative offers structured programs designed to ease that burden, including Offer in Compromise, Installment Agreements, and Currently Not Collectible (CNC) status. These options can reduce penalties, halt wage garnishments or levies, and in many cases, allow taxpayers to resolve their debt for significantly less than the full amount owed.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: President Donald Trump signed a groundbreaking executive order Thursday eliminating the use of disparate impact theory by the feds. The order “restores the true promise of the Civil Rights Movement—a system that does not differentiate between Americans based on race and where success is determined by individual merit, free from discriminatory practices that prioritize group outcomes over personal achievement.” Disparate impact theory says that any disparity must be the result of discrimination, bigotry, and racism of some kind or another. So for example, if more white people than non-white people pass a firefighter’s exam, then it must be because of racism. Or if more non-white people than white people are pulled over for speeding, that too must be the result of racism and bigotry.)

FEDERAL NEWS NETWORK
— Probationary employees face stricter review process under new executive order. If my Democrat GAO superiors could have used probationary procedures to get rid of me, they would have. My doing the following after I transferred from IRS to GAO in early 1980 frustrated their efforts to get rid of me. I earned a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980. I passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981. I became a licensed CPA in 1981.
https://federalnewsnetwork.com/workforce/2025/04/probationary-employees-face-stricter-review-process-under-new-executive-order/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Probationary employees will now have an additional hurdle to clear before they can solidify their federal employment, according to an executive order President Donald Trump signed Thursday evening. Trump’s new order calls for the creation of “Civil Service Rule XI,” which will require agencies to review and actively sign off on probationary workers’ continued employment before they can be moved out of a probationary period. Federal employees are put into probationary periods when they first enter the civil service, or when they begin a new position, for example after getting a promotion. Once a probationary period ends — usually after one or two years of federal service — employees will automatically transition out of probationary status. “Instead of these employees becoming tenured civil servants by default, Rule XI requires agencies to affirmatively certify that finalizing their appointment after their probationary or trial period concludes advances the public interest,” the White House wrote Thursday in a fact sheet detailing the intentions of the executive order. Under current federal regulations, agencies can only remove probationary employees for issues with performance or conduct. Those rules around probationary periods spurred litigation involving the recent mass terminations of tens of thousands of probationary employees. Earlier this month, the Supreme Court blocked an order for the Trump administration to reinstate the probationary employees. Trump’s new executive order, however, adds a new reason that probationary employees can be removed from their jobs. Under the new “Civil Service Rule XI,” agencies can also determine whether a probationary employee should remain in their job based on agency needs and the interest of the public. “It alters the reason for letting a probationer go to include the generic needs and interests of the agency, as opposed to the individual’s performance or conduct,” Debra D’Agostino, an attorney and partner at Federal Practice Group, said in an interview. “It adds this generic reason where the agency can decide that it’s not in the needs or interest of the agency to keep this person.” “Usually, if someone’s not going to satisfy their probation, it’s going to be because of performance or conduct,” Kevin Owen, a partner at Gilbert Employment Law, added. “If the administration is going to start interjecting some sort of ideological component, we’re going to start again sliding into some level of a spoils system here.”)

— STRENGTHENING PROBATIONARY PERIODS IN THE FEDERAL SERVICE I transferred from IRS to GAO when I was 31 years old in 1980. Because my Democrat GAO superiors soon concluded that I would never become a Democrat, they tried to use probationary procedures to get rid of me. But I had already served my probationary period while I had worked for IRS. They tried to get rid of me because I was a Republican even though I had earned an MBA in 1976, passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, earned a master’s degree in accounting in 1980, passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981, and became a licensed CPA in 1981.

(FROM THE ARTICLE: GAO has documented, however, that agencies have not been using probationary and trial periods as effectively as they could to remove appointees whose continued employment is not in the public interest.

AMERICAN CONSERVATIVE
— Trump Issues Order Eliminating Use of Disparate-Impact Liability. The order follows a ban on government affirmative action. How have Democrats used disparate-impact against you? According to Democrats, a test is discriminatory if Whites and men do better on it than Blacks, Hispanics, and females do. Because Whites and men do better on the CPA examination than Blacks, Hispanics, and females, my Democrat and GAO superiors used disparate-impact to stop requiring passing the CPA examination to get hired and promoted. That rendered worthless my passing the CPA examination on my first attempt when I was 30 years old in 1979. To hire and promote Democrats who were Black, Hispanic, and female, they also stopped requiring other qualifications. That rendered worthless my earning an MBA in business when I was 27, 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. I should write about the aforesaid. It is called race and gender based preference giving, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination.

Further, while I passed the CPA and CIA examinations on my first attempt, my scores were not that great. Further, the experience that I gained working for IRS’s Collection Division 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) and 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) was not viewed favorably. Further, IRS never promoted me beyond GS-12 and took adverse actions against me. Further, GAO forced me to take a $23,472/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer, delayed my promotions, never promoted me beyond GS-13, and took adverse actions against me including always ranking me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance and forcing me to retire when I was 49. – Dave Diersen

ILLINOIS CPA SOCIETY
— The Rise and Retreat of DEI. The accounting profession and IRS and GAO had no interest in me a) because I was not a minority or a female, b) because I did not earn an MBA until I was 27, c) because I did not major in accounting until I was 27, d) because I did not pass the CPA examination until I was 30, e) because I did not earn a master’s degree in accounting until I was 31, f) because I did not pass the Certified Internal Auditor (CIA) examination until I was 32, and g) because I did not become a licensed CPA until I was 32. Further, while I passed the CPA and CIA examinations on my first attempt, my scores were not that great. Further, the experience that I gained working for IRS’s Collection Division 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) and 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) was not viewed favorably. Further, IRS never promoted me beyond GS-12 and took adverse actions against me. Further, GAO forced me to take a $23,472/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer, delayed my promotions, never promoted me beyond GS-13, and took adverse actions against me including always ranking me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance and forcing me to retire when I was 49.

— Democrats run the federal government. According to them, the federal government exists to hire, retain, and promote Democrats, and especially 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. All my coworkers who my Democrat GAO, IRS, and Post Office superiors promoted over me were the aforesaid and had less work experience than I had, had less education than I had, had no professional certifications or fewer than I had, and/or had no professional license like the one I had.

FROM ILLINOIS CENTER-RIGHT SOURCES
GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— Which offices will be on the November 3, 2026 ballot in your precinct? Do you anticipate/expect helping elect candidates for those offices? What discourages you from doing that? For me, it includes far too many Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct since 2000 who have blamed me and blamed my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters for their losses and/or near losses. I should write about those candidates and their major donors, political consultants, fundraisers, pollsters, campaign managers, campaign staff members, and campaign volunteers. Most commonly, they have hinted/implied/argued/shouted that I painted them as being more conservative than they wanted to be painted and that caused them to lose. I would focus on the aforesaid candidates who rejected the most planks in the Republican Party platform. I have long since stopped helping elect candidates in nonpartisan elections and Republican primary elections a) because far too many of those candidates who lost those elections and primaries blamed me and blamed my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters for their defeats and b) far too many of those candidates who won Republican primaries buy lost general elections blamed their defeats on my support for their opponents in the primaries. – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com
— What are the following doing to elect Republicans on November 3, 2026: the leaders of a) the Illinois Republican Party, b) your Republican county party organization, and c) your Republican township party organization? They need to defend and advance the Republican Party platform, that is, they need to defend and advance conservative principles. – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com
— What do you stress to defend and advance conservative principles? I stress the successes that I have had because I have always followed conservative principles. I earned a bachelor’s degree when I was 21. I earned master’s degrees when I was 27, 31, and 47. I earned professional certifications when I was 30, 32, 41, 45, 47, and 48. I earned a professional license when I was 32. I bought new cars when I was 17, 19, 20, 23, 25, 29, etc. I bought real estate when I was 24, 25, 27, 29, 35, etc. I got married when I was 29. I was able to do the aforesaid notwithstanding my parents never having attended college, my father having been only the first of my ancestors to earn a high school diploma, my mother never having attended high school, and my having to work my way through college. – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com
— What do you promote that your critics/opponents use against you? My critics/opponents use my promoting the Republican Party platform, that is, my promoting conservative principles. They especially use my promoting the platform’s personal responsibility, traditional marriage and family, right to life, immigration, illegal drugs, Second Amendment, and equal opportunity (no race of gender based preference giving) planks. – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com
— What do your critics/opponents do? My critics/opponents 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 wrong doing, and/or who refuse to give them money. I should write about my critics/opponents and the many big adverse actions that they have taken against me. – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com
— What jobs have you had? According to my critics/opponents, all the jobs that I had were bad jobs that they would never stoop to take and that should have been given to minorities, females, younger people, and veterans. I did yard work 1962-1964, washed dishes 1964-1966, cleaned golf shoes, chipped slag, and pumped gasoline in 1966, delivered mail 1966-1969, worked on an automotive assembly line in 1970, sold tires, automotive services, and major appliances 1970-1971, pumped gasoline 1971-1972, collected delinquent taxes 1971-1980, and audited federal agencies 1980-1997. – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com
— What are your demographics? My critics/opponents look down on, if not despise, if not hate those who share my demographics. I am conservative, Republican, White, male, older (born in 1948), non-poor, non-veteran, Protestant, German American, and my ancestors have been in America since 1844. Further, I was a Crete resident 1948-1972 and I have been a Wheaton resident since 1978. Further, I was a federal employee for almost 30 years, including almost 9 years working for IRS, and I have been a federal retiree for almost 28 years. – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com
— How envious were your coworkers? My Democrat superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates were full of envy. They always painted themselves as being financially disadvantaged. They decried my earning a bachelor’s degree when I was 21, my earning master’s degrees when I was 27, 31, and 47, my earning professional certifications when I was 30, 32, 41, 45, 47, and 48, my earning a professional license when I was 32, my buying new cars when I was 17, 19, 20, 23, 25, 29, etc., my buying real estate when I was 24, 25, 27, 29, 35, etc., my getting married when I was 29, etc. They hinted/implied/argued/shouted that I would never have been able to do the aforesaid a) if I had not avoided the draft and b) if my wife and I had children. – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com
— What Caste were you born into? My critics/opponents stress a) that my parents were Protestant and German American, b) that neither of my parents attended college, c) that my father was only the first of my ancestors to earn a high school diploma, d) that he never earned more than $50,000/year in today’s dollars, e) that my mother never attended high school, f) that I had to work my way through college, g) that none of my degrees are from Ivy League universities, h) that I was a federal employee for almost 30 years, i) that I have been a federal retiree for almost 28 years, and j) that I never earned more than $153,151/year in today’s dollars. – Dave Diersen

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Many schools (including almost all “elite” universities) view their maintenance of Kendian “discrimination for the right reasons” programs in admissions, hiring, promotions, tenure, and funding to be moral imperatives, and thus either are flatly refusing to abide by the Trump administration’s demands, and/or are continuing their discriminatory programs sub rosa.)

While I worked for the Democrats who ran the federal government for almost 30 years, many, most, and at times, virtually all of my superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates were Democrat veterans. They promoted the veterans preference and stressed that I had avoided the Vietnam War draft. According to them, Democrat veterans should have gotten all the promotions that I got. I should write about my Democrat superiors in the federal government who were veterans and who took the most/biggest adverse actions against me.

If they did, we wouldn’t be a sanctuary state any more,” Leigh said. . .Chicago Flips Red vice president Danielle Carter-Walters said crimes involving noncitizen migrants were not reported. “They were not recording anything that they did illegally.

WHITE HOUSE
— Extension of Hiring Freeze. All during the almost 18 years that I worked for the Democrats who ran GAO, the agency was almost always under Gingrich-caused hiring freezes and/or promotion freezes. My Democrat GAO superiors punished me severely because of that. They forced me to take a $23,472/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS. They delayed my promotions and never promoted me beyond GS-13. They always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay for performance purposes. They forced me to retire when I was 49 years old. They flushed down their toilets my three job-related master’s degrees, my six job-related professional certifications, and my job-related professional license. What does Gingrich have to say about that? If Gingrich had reformed GAO instead of gutting it, there would be no need for DOGE.

GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— Political parties exist to help elect candidates who can and will defend and advance their platform. The Republican Party platform is conservative. What do Republican candidates, elected officials, and party leaders have to do to turn Illinois, DuPage County, Milton Township, and Wheaton red? They have to defend and advance conservative principles, that is, they have to defend and advance the Republican Party platform including its personal responsibility, traditional marriage and family, right to life, immigration, illegal drugs, Second Amendment, and equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) planks. They have to show how following conservative principles helped them succeed. They have to stop being Democrat Lite. They have to stop being anti-conservative. – Dave Diersen

This also includes set-asides where a specific percentage or number of slots are reserved for members of such groups. This category does not, however, include affirmative action programs required by federal law for veterans or individuals with disabilities.
