— According to Trump’s critics/opponents, Trump is motivated by revenge. GAO audits IRS. According to my critics/opponents, revenge motivated me to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980 and to ask to be assigned to audits of IRS. They stressed the adverse actions that IRS had taken against me including disallowing my travel vouchers in 1974, disallowing my education expenses in 1978, and never promoting me beyond GS-12. In my defense, I stressed that the many codes of conduct that I was under prohibited that. I became a CPA in 1979, Certified Internal Auditor in 1981, licensed CPA in 1981, and a Certified Fraud Examiner in 1990, Government Financial Manager in 1994, Financial Services Auditor in 1996, and Forensic Accountant in 1997. Their revenge argument was a pretext. The real reason was that the Democrats who run IRS and GAO do not want Republicans to audit IRS. – Dave Diersen

— Did you read Money Magazine ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Money_(financial_website) )? If you read its February 1978 4-page article on me ( https://gopillinois.com/documents/ ), you would have concluded that the magazine did not pick me for the article to give me financial advice, but a) to foist negative government employee stereotypes on me, b) to paint me as being grossly overpaid, and c) to get IRS to disallow my education deductions. The article caused me many big problems, not the least of which was IRS’s disallowing my education deductions. Ever since the article was published, my critics/opponents have demonized me, denigrated me, and condemned me as being grossly overpaid. I had worked for IRS for almost 7 years. I had been promoted in 1972, 1973, and 1974. In today’s dollars, my salary was $108,978/year. I had earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976. I was taking graduate accounting courses at DePaul. I owned a one bedroom condo in the Outer Drive East building. I rented out a town home in University Park since 1976 that I had bought new in 1972. I owned a 1972 Corvette that I bought new in 1971. My daily driver was a 1962 Chevrolet Bel Air. – Dave Diersen

— Did you deduct education expenses? My IRS employee manual strongly encouraged me to take graduate business, accounting, and law courses. But IRS provided no reimbursement for tuition or books.

GAO would have promoted me into its Senior Executive Service, currently $153,151/year, before I was 40 in 1988. I had worked 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. I had earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976.

I had passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt and became a licensed CPA in 1981.

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Earlier this month, DOGE — the Elon Musk-run cost-cutting effort, which stands for Department of Government Efficiency — sought to “assign a team” to the Government Accountability Office, the congressional watchdog agency, which rejected the request, according to the GAO. . .GAO spokesperson Sarah Kaczmarek said in a statement that the agency had told DOGE that GAO is a legislative branch agency, not subject to executive orders and “has therefore declined any requests to have a DOGE team assigned to GAO. DOGE acknowledged receipt of our letter. GAO considers the matter closed [and] we are focused on our mission of supporting Congress.”)

If Democrat and RINO leaders had promoted LGBTQ back then like they do now, a) the Democrats who ran the Post Office in 1966, IRS in 1971, and GAO in 1980 would not have hired me, b) if the Post Office had hired me, it would have forced me to resign sooner than it did, c) if IRS had hired me, it would not have promoted me in 1972, 1973, and 1974, c) if GAO had hired me, it would not have promoted me in 1986 and would have forced me to resign in 1993 instead of 1997, d) the RINOs who have run the Illinois Republican Party (IRP), DuPage County Republican Central Committee (DCRCC), and Milton Township Republican Organization (MTRO) since 1999 would not have appointed me as a precinct committeeman in 1999 and they would have defeated me when I ran for precinct committeeman in 2000. If they had failed to defeat me, they never would have made me MTRO webmaster in 2000 and 2008. When I ran for MTRO Treasurer in 2004, I would have gotten zero votes instead of just 13.

— What is your position on Civil Service protections? Trump wants to cut them. Were it not for Civil Service protections, the Democrats who ran GAO in 1980, IRS in 1971, and the Post Office in 1966 a) would not have hired me, b) would have done more to waste my career and to get rid of me, c) would not have promoted me in 1972, 1973, 1974, or 1986, d) would have taken even more/bigger adverse actions against me, and e) would have gotten rid of me sooner than they did. They hired me because they could not find a qualified Democrat, minority, female, younger person, or veteran who would take the job. My qualifications include a) passing the postal employment test and earning a high school diploma in 1966, b) passing the Federal Service Entrance Examination in 1970, c) earning a job-related bachelor’s degree in 1970 and job-related master’s degrees in 1976, 1980, and 1997, d) earning job-related professional certifications in 1979, 1981, 1990, 1994, 1996, and 1997, and e) earning a job-related professional license in 1981. – Dave Diersen

All my coworkers who they promoted over me were Democrats a) who had less work experience than I had, less education than I had, no professional certifications or fewer than I had, and/or no professional license like the one I had and/or b) were younger than me, minority, and/or female. – Dave Diersen

The more of the following that you do, the more points that they give you: glorify and praise them, pander to them, serve as one of their operatives or dupes, cover up their wrongdoing, and/or give them money.

When I was 49 years old in 1997, my Democrat GAO superiors forced me to retire and gave my job and my preferred corner office to my Democrat Black subordinate who ran the office’s Black events.

— Harvard’s Standards Have Dropped. To hire, retain, and promote more Democrats who were younger, minority, and/or female, my superiors in the federal government ever-increasingly dropped their hiring, retention, and promotion standards. That ever-increasingly rendered worthless a) my job-related bachelor’s degree (1970) and three job-related master’s degrees (1976, 1980, and 1997), b) my six job-related professional certifications (1979, 1981, 1990, 1994, 1996, and 1997), and c) my job-related professional license (1981). All my coworkers who they promoted over me were Democrats a) who had less work experience than I had, less education than I had, no professional certifications or fewer than I had, and/or no professional license like the one I had and/or b) were younger than me, minority, and/or female.

In my defense, I stress that they always lived in northeast Illinois and that a) on my father’s side, they first worked in a brick factory in Chicago, then homesteaded a farm in southeast Crete Township, then raised and sold horses in Crete, and then operated Crete’s only hardware store and b) on my mother’s side, they sharecropped a farm in Grant Park along the Indiana border and then bought that farm.

— Important Changes to Proposed Benefits Cuts in House-Passed Spending Bill. Trump wants to cut Civil Service protections. Were it not for Civil Service protections, the Democrats who ran GAO in 1980, IRS in 1971, and the Post Office in 1966 a) would not have hired me, b) would have done more to waste my career and to get rid of me, c) would not have promoted me in 1972, 1973, 1974, or 1986, d) would have taken even more/bigger adverse actions against me, and e) would have gotten rid of me sooner than they did. They hired me because they could not find a qualified Democrat, minority, female, younger person, or veteran who would take the job. My qualifications include a) passing the postal employment test and earning a high school diploma in 1966, b) passing the Federal Service Entrance Examination in 1970, c) earning a job-related bachelor’s degree in 1970 and job-related master’s degrees in 1976, 1980, and 1997, d) earning job-related professional certifications in 1979, 1981, 1990, 1994, 1996, and 1997, and e) earning a job-related professional license in 1981.

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Election for At-Will Employment The provision for new hires to elect at-will employment remains in the legislation as well. Newly hired federal employees could opt to become at-will employees in exchange for a lower contribution rate to FERS (the standard 4.4%). This would be an irrevocable decision per the language of the legislation as currently written. However, if employees were to choose to keep their Civil Service protections, they would pay an additional 5% contribution rate to FERS (9.4% total for most federal employees). Federal employees who opt to become at-will employees could face adverse actions, including removal, without notice or the right to appeal the action. Per the language of the bill as currently written, they “may be subject to an adverse action up to and including removal, without notice or right to appeal, by the head of the agency at which the individual is employed for good cause, bad cause, or no cause at all.”)

They succeeded in keeping me off audits of IRS for all but 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for GAO. They also wasted what I had learned a) earning master’s degrees in business, accounting, and finance and b) passing the CPA and Certified Internal Auditor examinations on my first attempt. They would not have done that if I had been a Democrat, minority, female, younger, and/or veteran. I should write about that.

— Should you tell your employer you’re looking for a new job? My Firestone Store boss would never have hired me when I was 21 years old in 1970. I was hired by Firestone’s district office and assigned to his store. He owned the building in Chicago Heights that the store was in. He forced me to pass a 2-week probationary period in the Firestone Store in Gary, Indiana. He disapproved of my being a draft avoider, Republican, college graduate, part-time MBA student at UIC, Protestant, German American, my ancestors having been in America since 1844, and I had been a Crete resident since 1948. He was a veteran and he blamed Republicans for America losing the Vietnam War. My on-the-job training included lots of pumping gasoline, mounting and balancing tires, changing oil and filters, changing batteries, and delivering major appliances. I made the best of it, but I did accept a job offer from Oldsmobile in early 1971. He immediately rudely fired me when I told him that I had accepted that offer after he had directed me while the store was open to use a ladder, bucket, water, and SOS pads to clean the whitewalls on moldy tires that had been hanging on store’s showroom walls for many years.

Gingrich was the Speaker while my lawsuit was pending against GAO in in 1998 and 1999 and then Dennis Hastert 1999-2005.

Nixon was President while I worked for the Democrats who ran IRS 1971-1974 and then Ford 1974-1977 and then Carter 1977-1980. Carter was President while I worked for the Democrats who ran GAO in 1980 and 1981 and then Reagan 1981-1989 and then Bush 1989-1993 and then Clinton 1993-1997. Henry Hyde was my Congressman 1978-2007. Peter Fitzgerald was my U.S. Senator 1999-2005. I should write about how each of the aforesaid impacted my career. My Democrat superiors took their biggest adverse actions against me in 1968, 1969, 1974, 1978, 1980, 1989, and 1997-2005. I would focus on Hyde, Gingrich, Fitzgerald, and Hastert. – Dave Diersen

(FROM THE ARTICLE: In the first exercise, soldiers are required to deadlift the maximum weight possible three times, using a 60-pound hex bar and plates. Then, they must complete as many hand-release push-ups as possible in two minutes, completely lowering the body to the ground and extending the arms to the side before starting the next push-up. For the sprint-drag-carry exercise, they must perform 5 x 50-meter shuttles as quickly as possible with a 2 x 40-pound kettlebell and a 90-pound sled. Soldiers must then hold the plank position for as long as possible to assess muscular endurance, before finishing off with a two-mile run on a “generally flat outdoor course.”)

POLITICO
— GOP declares war on GAO. Republicans are undermining the Government Accountability Office, the century-old agency that roots out waste, fraud and abuse. Who do you know who works for GAO or has worked for GAO? I worked for the Democrats who ran 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.
https://www.politico.com/news/2025/05/27/gop-declares-war-on-gao-00369762
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The independent Government Accountability Office has served Congress as the nation’s chief investigator of wrongdoing at federal agencies for more than a century. Now it’s under assault. The typically uncontroversial, under-the-radar agency is fighting to retain power against attempts by Republicans in the Trump administration and on Capitol Hill to undercut its legal conclusions and independence — an onslaught that has been fast and furious. . .Vought also claimed that GAO had played “a partisan role” in the “impeachment hoax” of Donald Trump’s first presidency, referencing the House’s vote in 2019 to remove the president ahead of GAO’s conclusion that the administration violated the same “impoundment” law by withholding aid to Ukraine. Sen. Mike Lee piled on a day later. “GAO has lost credibility as an independent body,” the Utah Republican wrote on social media, reacting to Vought’s criticism. Taken together, these events show the extent to which Republicans are increasingly willing to denigrate an agency that has frequently validated their policies and positions, while sometimes delivering findings conservatives don’t like. And this political posture could upend the relationship members of both parties have had with GAO for decades. . .And while GAO is a legislative branch agency, Trump has the ability to dismiss its leader, akin to his firing of Librarian of Congress Carla Hayden. GAO spokesperson Jasmine Berry Franklin said in a statement that agency officials “stand behind the quality of our work.” The watchdog’s mission is to deliver “non-partisan, fact-based information to Congress, to help it carry out its constitutional legislative, appropriations, and oversight functions and protect the power of the purse,” she continued. “Our legal decisions do not take a position on the policy goals of a program, they only examine the procedural issues and compliance with the law.” At a recent congressional hearing, Dodaro also stressed that GAO doesn’t want to be in the partisan crosshairs, has no interest in having political sway and is committed to its mandate to respond to requests from lawmakers with the facts. “We’re just responding to help Congress,” Dodaro said. “We’re not trying to influence things one way or the other. We’re nonpartisan. We’re asked a question; we give an answer. It doesn’t matter who it is.”)

TIME
— How Grads Can Futureproof Themselves As Career Ladders Weaken. Timing is everything. My not majoring in accounting at UIC 1966-1968 and at NIU 1969-1970 was a very big career mistake. I erroneously though that I could not pass the CPA examination. I did not start taking graduate accounting courses until I was 27. 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 on my first attempt 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 accounting profession would not have done that if I had been a minority, female, or veteran.
https://time.com/charter/7286901/how-grads-can-futureproof-themselves-as-career-ladders-weaken/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: With the “bottom rung of the career ladder breaking,” according to Aneesh Raman, chief economic opportunity officer at LinkedIn, new graduates and other workers early in their careers face less certain paths for getting professional toeholds and experience that can serve them over their lifetimes. That also ups the stakes for managers and mentors to help young workers identify and cultivate the skills that will best serve them.)

I got those bad jobs because my employers could not find a Democrat, minority, female, younger person, or veteran who would take them. Again, should America start offering citizens of foreign countries “bad job” employment permits?

My Democrat GAO superiors ignored/dismissed/belittled the aforesaid. They would not have done that if I had been a Democrat, minority, female, younger, or veteran. I had worked for GAO for a year. I had worked 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. I had passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979.

AUTO NEWS
— Dodge says it’s eliminating Canada-made Charger Daytona R/T for 2026 because of tariffs. I just bought a new 2025 Dodge Charger Daytona R/T. I am one of 1,266 who did during the first 3 months of this year. Please let me know if you share my interest in the car. I own a 2013 Charger R/T Max. I owned a 1968 Charger R/T show car 1994-2005. I owned a 1969 Charger SE 1968-1971.
https://www.autonews.com/stellantis/an-dodge-charger-daytona-rt-dropped-0519/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The electric Charger Daytona, which is made in Canada, began arriving at dealerships in January as a 2024 model in two varieties: the R/T and the higher-end Scat Pack. The 670-hp Scat Pack, which starts at $75,185 with shipping, will be the only electric Charger available as a 2026 model. Mopar Insiders first reported the decision to eliminate the R/T, which starts at $61,590 with shipping. “Production of the Dodge Charger Daytona R/T is postponed for the 2026 model year as we continue to assess the effects of U.S. tariff policies,” Dodge CEO Matt McAlear said in a statement. “The Charger’s flexible, multi-energy STLA Large platform allows us to focus on the Charger Daytona Scat Pack’s performance as the world’s quickest and most powerful muscle car, add the new four-door model to the Charger mix for the 2026 model year and lean into the new Charger SIXPACK models that will launch in the second half of the year.” Sign up to get our monthly Done Deals newsletter focused on the latest dealership transactions and insights into the buy-sell market. The Charger is produced at Windsor Assembly Plant in Ontario along with the Chrysler Pacifica and Voyager minivans for the U.S. market. It also builds the Pacifica and Grand Caravan for the Canadian market. The plant shut down for two weeks in April, just hours after President Donald Trump imposed 25 percent duties on vehicles imported to the U.S. The Daytona made up 65 percent of Charger sales in the U.S. in the first quarter with 1,947 deliveries. Stellantis is still selling off remaining ICE versions of the previous Charger model, which saw production in Brampton, Ont., end in 2023. The Daytona is available only as a coupe, but it will get a four-door variant this year. The gasoline-powered Sixpack models are slated to debut this year as well, in two-door and four-door configurations.)
JOURNAL OF ACCOUNTANCY
— Internal pressures challenge internal auditors’ objectivity. I have always been a Republican. I transferred from IRS to GAO when I was 31 years old in 1980. I had worked 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. GAO audits IRS. The Democrats who ran IRS and GAO back then did not want Republicans to audit IRS. My Democrat IRS and GAO superiors succeeded in keeping me off audits of IRS until early 1986. But then, in late 1988, they succeeded in keeping me off audits of IRS for the rest of my GAO career.

— The evolving role of Internal Auditors. When I was 32 years old in 1981, I passed the Certified Internal Auditor (CIA) examination on my first attempt and I became a licensed CPA. Only about 20% of those who take the CIA examination pass it on their first attempt and very few, if not extremely few, CPAs become licensed CPAs. My Democrat GAO superiors ignored/dismissed/belittled the aforesaid. They would not have done that if I had been a Democrat, minority, female, younger, or veteran. I had worked for GAO for a year. I had worked 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. I had passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979.

— Chicago mayor Johnson says Trump administration reflects ‘country club’ in response to DOJ investigation of Chicago’s hiring practices. How have Democrat hiring practices impacted you? The Democrats who ran GAO in 1980, IRS in 1971, and the Post Office in 1966 hired me because they could not find a qualified Democrat, minority, female, younger person, or veteran who would take the job. They gambled and lost that I would become a Democrat and promote their discriminatory employment practices. They took many big adverse actions against me because I opposed their discriminatory employment practices. I should write about that. I would focus on the tremendous preference they forced me to give, and that I did give, my Democrat subordinates who were minority, female, younger, and/or veteran.

But because my new condo there does not have high or wide enough wall space, I cannot do that there.
