— ‘Woke’ Pope digs at Trump in call for open borders: ‘New missionary age.’ DD: Mass/illegal immigration will destroy America.
https://www.bizpacreview.com/2025/10/06/woke-pope-digs-at-trump-in-call-for-open-borders-new-missionary-age-1590407/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Pope Leo XIV did not mention President Trump by name, but it was clear to many who heard his address to Catholics on Sunday that he was taking a shot at U.S. immigration policies. Conservative Catholics, hopeful that the new pope, who was elected in May, would not be as far-left as his predecessor, the late Pope Francis, were sorely disappointed as Sunday’s Mass in St. Peter’s Square took on political overtones. Days after criticizing the Trump administration’s immigration policies, Leo urged the thousands gathered for the service – and Catholics around the globe – to open their “arms and hearts” to migrants, not distinguishing between legal and illegal immigration. The first pope to have been born in the United States, Leo said migrants must not be treated with “the coldness of indifference or the stigma of discrimination.” He urged Catholics to “open our arms and hearts to them, welcoming them as brothers and sisters, and being for them a presence of consolation and hope.” “On Sunday, the pope said the global Church was experiencing ‘a new missionary age’ in which it was tasked with offering ‘hospitality and welcome, compassion and solidarity’ to migrants fleeing violence or searching for a safe place to live,” Reuters reported. “In the communities of ancient Christian tradition, such as those of the West, the presence of many brothers and sisters from the world’s South should be welcomed as an opportunity, through an exchange that renews the face of the Church,” he said, speaking from a prepared text. The Pope’s official account on X has also made his thoughts quite clear on the issue. Last week, the Pope appeared to take a jab at Trump when speaking with reporters. “Someone who says I am against abortion but I am in agreement with the inhuman treatment of immigrants in the United States, I don’t know if that’s pro-life,” Leo said. “I would reject that there is inhumane treatment of illegal immigrants in the United States under this administration,” White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt fired back. “There was, however, significant, inhumane treatment of illegal immigrants in the previous administration as they were being trafficked and raped and beaten, in many cases killed over our United States southern border.” The Pope’s latest swipe against US immigration policy earned heated criticism on social media.

— 3 Best First Jobs To Get Promoted Fast. DD: My critics/opponents have always been furious that IRS promoted me when I was 23, 24, and 25. During that time, my salary increased from $55,850/year to $99,069/year in today’s dollars. My taking job-related graduate evening courses at Loyola during that time helped me get promoted. Extremely few of my coworkers took IRS-encouraged job-related graduate evening courses like I did. My critics/opponents have always hinted/implied/argued/shouted that my taking those courses gave me an unfair advantage. They stressed that I could afford those courses because I avoided the Vietnam War draft and because did not have a wife or children to support. In my defense, I helped support my mother and brother when I was 21, 22, and 23 and I worked part-time for the Chicago Heights Firestone store while I was 22, 23, and 24.

(FROM THE ARTICLE: When American Catholics learned there would finally be an American pope, many hoped for a return to traditional faith and spiritual leadership (you know, actual theology and moral guidance). Instead, Vatican watchers witnessed yet another bizarre spectacle this week that has conservative Catholics questioning what exactly their church leadership stands for anymore. The latest episode perfectly encapsulates why so many faithful feel abandoned by Rome—and boy, did they get a doozy. While Christians face persecution across the globe—from Islamic terror groups burning churches to believers being martyred for their faith—Pope Leo XIV found time for what he apparently considers more pressing matters.)

My career was harmed a) because I did not earn an MBA until I was 27, b) because I did not take and pass the CPA examination until I was 30, c) because I did not earn a master’s degree in accounting until I was 31, d) because I did not take and pass the Certified Internal Auditor examination until I was 32, e) because I did not become a licensed CPA until I was 32, f) because I did not earn additional professional certifications until I was 41, 45, 47, and 48, and g) because I did not earn a master’s degree in finance until I was 48. I did not accomplish the aforesaid sooner because I took only one graduate evening course at a time earning the aforesaid master’s degrees. I took only one course at a time because that was what I could afford and I wanted my Firestone Stores, IRS, and GAO jobs to be my main focus. I completed 16 graduate business courses at Loyola 1972-1976, 12 graduate accounting courses at DePaul 1976-1980, and 14 graduate finance courses at IIT 1992-1997. – Dave Diersen

— Minorities vote for Democrats. Democrat leaders ever-increasingly replace Whites with minorities. My Democrat employers would have hired and promoted minorities instead of me if they could have. The Democrats who ran the Post Office in 1966, IRS in 1971, and GAO hired me because they could not find a qualified minority who would take the job. IRS promoted me in 1972, 1973, and 1974 instead of minorities because of my performance appraisals and because I was taking graduate evening business courses while none of my minority coworkers were doing that. GAO promoted me in 1986 instead of a minority because of my performance appraisals and because 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 while none of my minority coworkers had done that. My Democrat GAO superiors forced me to retire when I was 49 in 1997 and replaced me with a minority. He had less work experience than I had, had less education than I had, had one professional certification while I had six, and had no professional license like I did. – Dave Diersen

CHICAGO SUN-TIMES
— New barricades erected near Broadview ICE facility in effort to limit protesters from blocking street. Local and state authorities installed the barriers Thursday to allow room for protests but also keep the street clear. Demonstrators trying to block federal vehicles from entering and leaving the facility have been met with numerous rounds of rubber pellets and chemical agents that officials say endanger nearby residents and first responders.

— How do you view federal employees? While I worked for the Democrats who ran the federal government for almost 30 years, my critics/opponents always demonized me, denigrated me, and condemned me as being a non-essential federal employee. My critics/opponents in the Illinois Republican Party, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, Milton Township Republican Organization, TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois, and Illinois Center Right Coalition have always ignored, dismissed, belittled, and/or badmouthed what I did 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 and for IRS for almost 9 years, the last 5 1/2 years at the GS-12 Step 1-5 Levels, currently $99,069-$112,280/year. – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com
— How do you view federal employees and federal retirees? According to my critics/opponents, the federal government grossly overpaid me and my Civil Service Retirement System (CSRS) pension is much too generous. 1997, my GAO salary was $153,151/year in today’s dollars. My critics/opponents stress that while my Democrat GAO superiors forced me to retire when I was 49 years old in 1997, I have gotten a $66,780/year in today’s dollars CSRS pension since then, that is, I have suffered only an $86,371/year (56%) loss of income in today’s dollars since then, that is, I have suffered only a $2.4 million loss in income since 1997. In my defense, in 1997, I had three job-related master’s degrees (business, accounting, and finance), six-job-related professional certifications (accounting, internal auditing, fraud examination, government financial management, financial services auditing, and forensic accounting), and a job-related professional license (CPA). – Dave Diersen

Back in the good old days, even though I am all of the aforesaid, I was able earn a bachelor’s degree and three master’s degrees, earn six professional certifications, and earn a professional license. I was able to get and keep jobs that enabled me a) to buy new cars when I was 17, 19, 20, 23, 25, and 29, b) buy real estate when I was 24, 25, 27, 29, and 35, c) get married when I was 29, d) etc. – Dave Diersen

DD: My critics/opponents who are minority, female, younger, veteran, LGBTQ, unmarried, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or have ancestors who have not been in America as long as mine have been promote race and gender based preference giving, that is, they reject meritocracy, but outrageously, they attribute their personal successes to meritocracy.
https://conservativehq.com/post/pete-hegseths-historic-speech-and-why-many-generals-probably-hated-it
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Meritocracy is the foundational element of being the best at anything and everything. So, why would any General or Admiral be opposed to or criticize the restoration of meritocracy in our military, and the accompanying dismantling of the social engineering and Diversity, Equity and Inclusion policies that have plagued our military and crippled its effectiveness for over two decades? Simple – because, after eight years of Obama and four years of Biden, many in the audience got where they are either directly through DEI policies or indirectly by being DEI cheerleaders, even as they knew deep in their hearts such policies were wrong and detrimental to the combat effectiveness of the formations they lead.)

— FRONT PAGE: Northwestern students boycotting antibias training. DD: I worked for the Democrats who ran IRS 1971-1980 and GAO 1980-1997. They forced all their employees, including me, to take such “training.” All that training was designed to promote more hatred against Republicans, and especially against Republicans like me who were conservative, White, male, older, non-veteran, Protestant, German American, and/or had ancestors who had been in America for a long time.
https://www.chicagotribune.com/2025/10/01/northwestern-university-students-boycott-bias-training/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Micol Bez has three weeks to make a choice. The Northwestern University graduate student has spent years studying political epistemology and abolitionism. Now, she is prepared to risk everything — her Ph.D. dissertation, her student status and her visa — in an act of protest she calls “a question of moral clarity.” Bez is part of a group of students boycotting Northwestern’s controversial antibias training video, which critics say conflates criticism of Israel with antisemitism. Those who refuse to complete the online training will be unable to enroll in fall classes, the university said, which could jeopardize their academic standing if they miss the final course registration deadline. “I’m in a profound moral crisis,” said Bez, who is a member of the student group Northwestern Graduate Workers for Palestine. Her refusal to engage in the training, which makes it “impossible to structurally critique Israel, its policies, the apartheid and the ongoing genocide,” she said, is her taking a stand against Northwestern serving “misinformation to thousands of students.”)
— What a federal government shutdown means for Illinois. . .while government offices continue to stay open for their most important operations, so-called nonessential work is suspended, paychecks are not issued and many workers are furloughed until Congress approves a new funding plan. President Donald Trump has amped up the threats this time around, saying he plans to fire employees, rather than just furlough them, a move he says will hurt Democrats. DD: I was a federal worker in Chicago in 1971 and then 1973-1997. In 1971, I was one of the last Republicans who IRS hired. In 1980, I was one of the last Republicans who GAO hired. If I was still a federal worker, to punish Trump, my Democrat superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates would have killed me by now, figuratively, if not literally.

While I was a NTEU member 1971-1980, my IRS salary increased from $55,850/year to $112,280/year in today’s dollars. In my defense, during that time, I earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976, I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, and I almost completed the requirements for a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul.

https://www.shawlocal.com/kendall-county-now/2025/09/27/a-revival-born-charlie-kirk-memorial-in-yorkville-darren-bailey-campaigns-for-governor/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: With antisniper security on rooftops in downtown Yorkville for the Sept. 27 Charlie Kirk memorial, one speaker remarked it’s sad this is the current state of American political discourse. Organized by Kendall Action, a conservative fundraising PAC, the event was part sermon, “a revival born in Charlie Kirk’s name,” part rally, with Darren Bailey campaigning as a Republican candidate for governor. A unifying message shared by the crowd was that the Sept. 10 killing of Kirk by a sniper’s bullet took something personal away from each of them, something that touches their faith. “When we exchange ideas as a society, we win,” State Rep. Jed Davis, R-Newark, said to the crowd. “When you start to silence that opportunity, that God-given right the founders of this nation wrote into the Constitution, that we have the right to free speech, the right to have free and open dialogue, when that is silenced, the people lose.” Kicking off his election tour, Bailey, a former Republican state senator, called Kirk’s killing a tragic loss of “a great American treasure.” He brought up Abraham Lincoln’s prescient warning. “He warned that if we as America falter and lose our freedom, it won’t happen from outside our borders, but it will happen from within,” Bailey said during the rally. “We’ve got a governor who’s using all of this as rhetoric against us to make life more unsafe for us.” In an interview, Bailey was asked what can be done to tone down political violence. “We need to focus on the people that we’re electing, because we have to bring unity to this nation,” Bailey said. “We look for a stronger and different candidate to take that position, a leader who’s bold and courageous and desires unity instead of division.”)

According to The New York Post, during a performance by GWAR, a metal band that was first formed back in 1984, band members performed a mock beheading of Elon Musk, as well as a mock killing of President Donald J. Trump. While the band is known for its grotesque stunts, several social media users voiced criticism due to the political environment in the United States following the assassination of conversative activist Charlie Kirk. “That’s not edgy, it’s grotesque and reckless and normalizes violence against a real person. This is not okay. Riot Fest and GWAR crossed a major line,” a social media user wrote, per The Post. Screenshots of the now-deleted post appear to show that Coyne, who was in attendance at Riot Fest, wrote the following in reaction to GWAR’s stunt: “Riot Fest, it’s always so …. Interesting. Could’ve done without all the politics from the stage but it was fun nonetheless. Apparently we can’t even go to concerts now without the political divide being tossed in our faces. We’ll still go back but it was obnoxious.” The screenshot appears to show that Coyne’s post was seen more than 2.5 million times before being deleted. The message is followed by an @ to an apparent parody Riot Fest account, which boasts more than 95,000 followers. The Riot Fest parody account responded to Coyne’s criticism, writing the following, according to a screenshot: “Shut the (expletive) up you dork (expletive) loser. Seriously some of the softest dumbest people on the internet.” After being accused of “normalizing violence,” a GWAR representative issued the following statement to the publication: “Normalizing violence? Humans don’t need GWAR for that. There is nothing normal about the Looney Toon violence acted out on a GWAR stage. GWAR is absurdist spectacle. GWAR is to violence what the New York Post is to journalism. Ridiculous.” The Anonymous X account also chimed in on the discussion, writing the following: ““(Expletive) Elon Musk. Call the manager you (expletive) loser. It’s like you never heard of GWAR before you (expletive) p–y,” Riot Fest is a three-day festival that was first held in 2005, and is one of the largest independently-owned music festivals in the United States.)

— Protesters removed by police after disrupting Charlie Kirk prayer rally in Wheaton. DD: When will the Daily Herald report on this event?
https://dupagepolicyjournal.com/stories/675484139-protesters-removed-by-police-after-disrupting-charlie-kirk-prayer-rally-in-wheaton
https://x.com/DuPageCountyGOP/status/1972019256188641431
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Police removed a small group of protesters Sunday night who disrupted a prayer rally in Wheaton honoring the late conservative activist Charlie Kirk. The event drew about 1,500 attendees and was organized by local church leaders and Decision Point USA. The prayer rally took place under the French Market Pavilion in downtown Wheaton. Organizers said the event was held to pray for revival in the city, schools, churches, and the nation. “In this moment of grief and urgency, we believe God is our only hope,” a flyer from Decision Point USA said. “Together, we will lift our voices and ask Him to raise up courageous leaders, heal our land and pour out His Spirit on the next generation.” The meeting was organized by leaders from four churches in the Wheaton area who said they believe this time is an opportunity for community revival. The rally, structured around Christian worship and calls for unity, was briefly disrupted when several protesters, some masked and carrying signs, began shouting during a moment of prayer. “Bruha started by the few but noisy and disrespectful protestors during the prayer at the Wheaton Charlie Kirk Memorial tonight,” user Babette Holder said in a Facebook post. Wheaton police responded and escorted the protesters from the area. The rally continued as planned, ending with hymns “I Have Decided to Follow Jesus” and “In Christ Alone.” Photos from the event showed protesters holding signs with messages such as “Honoring Charlie Kirk = Honoring Racism, Bigotry, Misogyny” and “I do not support what happened to Charlie but Charlie supported what happened to Charlie.” One protester wore a shirt with “Palestine” printed on it, while another’s shirt displayed a profanity directed at President Donald Trump and his supporters. . .According to reports, the protesters were allegedly affiliated with Mutual Aid Dawning (MAD), a Glen Ellyn-based group formed during the 2020 Black Lives Matter protests in Chicago. Those protests involved widespread property damage and arrests. MAD’s website describes the group as “intergenerational, largely non-religious and queer with sexualities and genders across the spectrum.” The group identifies with anti-capitalist and anti-colonial ideologies. The website includes political education materials referencing historical figures, including Mao Zedong. Critics have noted Mao’s legacy includes responsibility for millions of deaths and ongoing repression in China. MAD describes the suburban communities where it organizes as “highly resourced yet highly unengaged,” and states its goal is to challenge perceived complicity in systems of oppression. Though the protesters were few in number, their presence drew concern among attendees and organizers, who said the disruption highlighted a broader cultural and political divide. Breakthrough Ideas, an organization led by former state representative Jeanne Ives, responded to the event by calling for “more speech, not less,” and said Kirk’s vision based on constitutional and biblical principles must be defended publicly. “They’re hoping (Kirk’s) murder isn’t a real Turning Point in America,” the group said in a newsletter. “They hope people don’t start to evaluate the culture and realize that the Left has been feeding children, young adults, and even boomers progressive nonsense that debases society and breaks the social and constitutional contract that citizens in a free society should have with each other.”)

— Charlie Kirk and the New Christian GOP. Religious conservatives were part of the Reagan coalition but are far more central to the party now. What do religious conservatives think of you? My critics/opponents shout at religious conservatives that I am not a member of a church, that I do not attend church services, and that I do not give money to a church. In my defense, I proudly stress that I was baptized, raised, and confirmed as a Missouri Synod Lutheran. I should write about those religious leaders in Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois who have had their operative and their dupes take the most/biggest adverse actions against me.
