More than 74,000 individuals sat for the CPA exam last year, but only 11 met the criteria to receive the prestigious Elijah Watt Sells Award from the AICPA and NASBA. Politics is nasty/vicious. I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt. Only about 20% who take the examination can say that. But my critics/opponents stress that others got better scores than I did. Very few CPAs become licensed CPAs. But I did.

— Since the 1960s, Democrats and RINOs, that is, those who are anti-conservative, anti-Republican, anti-American, anti-White, anti-male, anti-older people, anti-draft avoiders, anti-Protestant, anti-German American, and/or anti-those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time have ever-increasingly worked those who share my demographics. I should write about that. I would focus on the pretexts that they use.

As I worked for the Democrats who ran the federal government for almost 30 years, my job-related bachelor’s degree, three master’s degrees, six professional certifications, and professional license became ever-increasingly worthless because Democrat superiors ever-increasingly lowered standards to hire, retain, and promote more Democrats who were minority, female, younger than me, veteran, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or had ancestors who had not been in America for a long time.

Brown, DeKalb, Kane, Lake, DuPage, McLean, Douglas and Putnam counties also saw net population gains from 2020 to 2024.)

— Chicago Golf Club in Wheaton is the best golf course Illinois has to offer, according to a new ranking developed by golfers themselves. The Chicago Golf Club is south and east of my precinct. Golf Lane and Golf Circle are in my precinct.
https://patch.com/illinois/wheaton/best-golf-course-il-golf-digest-says
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Golf Digest deploys 1,700 professionally trained low-handicap golfers to continually assess the golf courses. The rankings are based on more than 80,000 evaluations over 10 years looking at criteria such as short options, challenge, design variety, conditioning, aesthetics, and character. Established in 1892, Chicago Golf Club stands out as one of five golf clubs that founded the United States Golf Association in 1894, its website states. Its original location at Belmont Golf Club in Downers Grove made history in 1893 as the first 18-hole golf course in the United States. In 1894, the club moved to its current home in Wheaton on Warrenville Road. Chicago Golf Club was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2020. There are plenty of other courses in Illinois that prioritize the aesthetics of their fairways and greens and test the golfers who play on them with a variety of challenges. . .Wheaton’s Cantigny Golf came in at #35 on Golf Digest’s new list.)

They deemed me too be old to be promoted to GS-13. To fight that, I earned an MBA in 1976. I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979. I transferred to GAO in 1980. I earned a master’s degree in accounting in 1980. I passed the Certified Internal Auditor Examination on my first attempt in 1981. I became a licensed CPA in 1981.

— Hands Across Chicagoland event stretches from Aurora to Chicago to protest Trump administration. Democrat leaders ever-increasingly organize more protests against Trump.
https://www.chicagotribune.com/2025/05/18/hands-across-chicagoland-event-stretches-from-aurora-to-chicago-to-protest-trump-administration/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Stuebner was one of over 18,000 gathered over a 30-mile stretch across DuPage and Cook counties from Aurora to Chicago on Sunday to protest Trump administration policies, per a news release from the Hands Across Chicagoland event organized by the Democratic Party of DuPage County, Indivisible Illinois, the Illinois Federation of Teachers and other political organizations across the Chicago area. The idea was to “form a human chain of solidarity against Trump’s illegal and authoritarian actions and the GOP’s failure to defend the Constitution,” per the release. Protestors signed up in advance based on their ZIP code, and lined the sidewalk along Ogden Avenue and 26th Street, from Aurora to the Little Village neighborhood in Chicago, on Sunday afternoon. The idea arose out of past protests organized by the DuPage Democratic party, according to the group’s chair Reid McCollum. In March, the group hosted a “Tesla Takedown DuPage” protest against Elon Musk’s efforts to slash and restructure the federal government and decided they wanted to stage a protest that stretched further. Sunday’s demonstration was spurred on by the Trump administration sending individuals — like Kilmar Abrego Garcia, who was wrongly deported from the United States — to detention centers, McCollum said. The protest’s goal is to reach a significant number of people passing by the protest so that the people of the U.S. won’t “just slide into authoritarianism without fighting back,” McCollum said. Amongst a few dozen protestors gathered in Lisle, several local officials offered their remarks. Standing in front of an inflatable chicken meant to be a caricature of President Trump, U.S. Rep. Robin Kelly, D-Matteson, told The Beacon-News that these kinds of demonstrations show that people are “ready to resist” the Trump administration. She described concerns about Medicaid, SNAP and tariffs as some of the everyday issues that are affecting ordinary residents’ lives.

GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— Who has had since 2015, who is having, and who will have the biggest impact on you/? For me, because I have been the GOPUSA Illinois Editor since 2000, it is Trump. Since 2015, I have ever-increasingly included links to articles that involve Trump in my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters. My critics/opponents despise/hate Trump, and according to them, my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters promote Trump. Since 2015, to punish me, my critics/opponents have had their operatives and dupes a) gerrymander my precinct in 2015, b) end my service as the Republican fundraiser for Wheaton Independence Day parades and fireworks in 2021, c) almost stop me from attending the DeSantis event in Elmhurst in 2023, and d) end my membership on the Illinois Republican Party State Convention Platform and Resolutions Committee in 2024. My critics/opponents stress that even though I have been a member of the Milton Township Republican Organization since 1999, the organization a) has never asked me to serve as one of its officers, b) rudely fired me as its webmaster in 2004 and 2010, and c) rudely defeated my bid to serve as its treasurer in 2004. – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com
— Sooner or later, all my critics/opponents make it clear that they reject some, many, most, virtually all, if not all of the following planks in the Republican Party platform: personal responsibility, traditional marriage and family, right to life, immigration, illegal drugs, Second Amendment, and/or equal opportunity (no race of gender based preference giving). I should write about my critics/opponents. I would focus on those a) who have lots of religious, government, political, and/or financial clout in Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, and/or Illinois and b) who have had their operatives and their dupes take the biggest adverse actions against me lately. – Dave Diersen

— Affirmative Action demotivates its recipients. None of the minorities and females who my Democrat superiors promoted over me came close to doing what I did. I earned three job-related master’s degrees, six job-related professional certifications, and a job-related professional license. My Black subordinate who my Democrat GAO superiors replaced me with in 1997 could have but did not do what I did. He could have but did not become a) a Certified Internal Auditor in 1981, b) licensed CPA in 1981, c) Certified Fraud Examiner in 1990, d) Certified Government Financial Manager in 1994, e) Certified Financial Services Auditor in 1996, and f) Forensic Accountant in 1997. He could have but did not like I did earn a master’s degree in financial markets and trading at IIT in 1997. We both had the same superior since 1990. Similarly, she could have done the aforesaid but did not do the aforesaid. – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com
— Release of an important IVF report is approaching. I should write about how my Democrat GAO superiors punished me for my wife and I giving up trying to have children without trying IVF. In 1989, they stressed that our health insurance covered IVF, threw me off audits of IRS, gave me a very bad job assignment, gave me very unfair performance expectations, gave me a very bad performance appraisal, and ranked me at the bottom of my coworkers for pay-for-performance. According to them, if we had children, I would never had been able to a) pass the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, b) earn a master’s degree in accounting in 1980, c) pass the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981, d) become a licensed CPA in 1981, e) earn four more job-related professional certifications in 1990, 1994, 1996, and 1997, and f) earn a master’s degree in finance in 1997. Further, according to them, my wife would never had been able to keep her good job or earn a bachelor’s degree in finance in 1986. My Democrat GAO superiors a) had spouses who had little or no income and b) decried the time and money needed to raise children. – Dave Diersen

On May 8, 2025, Northwestern University’s student newspaper the Daily Northwestern cheerily reported on Sex Week, a three-day event during which free sex toys were distributed at the student union, Norris University Center. Students lined up for the freebies which included “phallic-shaped, glitter-covered candles. … dildos and vibrators,” and “cute, little, squishy penis toys.”

— State program helping Illinois students save thousands on grad school. Age discrimination is real, and especially for those who are White, male, and/or non-veteran. It is called up-or-out. I did not earn an MBA until I was 27. By then, it was too late. Why didn’t I earn an MBA sooner? My father died suddenly when I was a senior at NIU in 1969. My mother had never worked outside of the home. My brother was having troubles. I applied for a financial hardship draft deferment to help support them. I needed a job. Potential employers saw me as being draft bait. I accepted the only job offer that I got. It was a job that did not really require a college degree. I started taking graduate evening business courses, but only one at a time. Because of that, I did not earn an MBA from Loyola until I was 27. By then, it was too late. I did not earn a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul until I was 31. By then, again, it was too late. It took me 4 years because again, I took only one graduate evening accounting course at a time. I did not pass the Certified Internal Auditor examination and become a licensed CPA until I was 32. By then, again, it was too late. I did not earn a master’s degree in finance from IIT until I was 48. By then, again, it was too late. It took me 5 years because again, I took only one graduate evening finance course at a time. Why did I take only one graduate evening course at a time? Because that was all that I could afford in terms of time, attention, and money. Age discrimination is real, and especially for those who are White, male, and/or non-veteran. It is called up-or-out. I should write about that.

— Total Federal Compensation 5% Higher Than Private Sector at All Education Levels But Lags at Higher Levels. Federal employees with a professional degree or doctorate earned 24 percent less, on average, than their private-sector counterparts. To demonize me, denigrate me, and condemn me as having been grossly overpaid, my critics/opponents have always ignored/dismissed/belittled that I had three job-related master’s degrees, six job-related professional certifications, and a job-related professional license.

— The Case for Meritocracy. How have your critics/opponents used meritocracy against you? My critics/opponents stress a) that my ACT score was only 24, b) that I only just barely made it into the upper 20% of my high school class, c) that I got no scholarships, d) that it took me 4 years to earn an MBA and my GPA was not that great, e) that while I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt, my scores on its four parts were not that great, f) that it took me 4 years to earn a master’s degree in accounting and my GPA was not that great, g) that while I became a licensed CPA, it was not until I was 32, h) that it took me 5 years to earn a master’s degree in finance and my GPA was not that great, i) that none of degrees were from Ivy League universities, j) that notwithstanding my degrees, certifications, and license, my superiors in the federal government took many big adverse actions against me, never promoted me beyond GS-13, and forced me to retire when I was 49 in 1997, and k) my superiors in the Milton Township Republican Organization, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, Illinois Republican Party, Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, Illinois, Illinois Center Right Coalition, TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois, etc. took many big adverse actions against me.

DAILY HERALD
— New Illinois, an organization that wants to create a state separate from Chicago and urban Cook County, drew about 60 people to a meeting Saturday at the Palatine Township Republican Organization office. Illinois counties that are run by Democrats are completely different from Illinois counties that are run by Republicans. Sooner or later, Illinois counties that are run by Democrats promote dependency on government and charity, LGBTQ (the destruction of traditional marriage and family), abortion, mass/illegal immigration, booze, gambling, pot, prostitution, and other vices, diminishment of Second Amendment rights, and Affirmative Action and DEI, that is, race and gender based preference giving, patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, religious discrimination, and national origin discrimination. I should write about the Democrat invasion, infiltration, infestation, conquering, and inevitable destruction of DuPage County, Milton Township, Wheaton, Wheaton Warrenville School District 200, and my precinct.

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Any separation would have to be passed by the Illinois General Assembly as well as by the United States Congress. The last successful separation measure was the split of West Virginia from Virginia. West Virginia arrived at statehood in 1863 but its final composition wasn’t determined until an 1871 Supreme Court ruling.)
— GOP balks at approving even a fraction of Musk’s DOGE cuts. During the 1980s and 1990s, RINO senators and RINO representatives did not balk at Gingrich’s GAO budget cuts. The Democrats who ran GAO used Gingrich’s budget cuts to get rid of the agency’s remaining Republican employees including me. If Gingrich had reformed GAO instead of gutting it, there would be no need for DOGE.

— Mexico’s president says she rejected Trump’s plan to send US troops across the border. Constructively, Mexico had declared war on America. FROM GOOGLE AI: The US military maintains a significant global presence with thousands of troops and hundreds of bases across nearly every continent. While the exact number of bases is difficult to determine due to varying classifications and ongoing changes, estimates range from 750 to over 900. The US has the largest number of overseas military bases compared to any other country, accounting for roughly 75-85% of the total. Key Locations and Troop Distribution: Japan, Germany, and South Korea: These countries host the largest number of US military bases and troops. Japan alone has over 50,000 US troops. Middle East: The US maintains a considerable military presence in the Middle East, with forces in numerous countries and on ships in the region’s waters, particularly in response to threats from Iran and its affiliated groups. Europe: The US has a significant military presence in Europe, particularly in countries like Germany, Italy, and the United Kingdom, with many bases being NATO interoperable.

— Which Republican candidates are going to walk in Wheaton’s 2025 Independence Day parade? There will be a U.S Senate office, five Illinois statewide offices, and five DuPage countywide offices on the November 3, 2026 ballot. At the 2000 Illinois Republican Party State Convention in Springfield, I urged Governor George Ryan to invite Bush to walk in Wheaton’s 2000 Independence Day parade. While Bush did not walk in that parade, he and Cheney did walk in Naperville’s 2000 Labor Day parade. I was there at the rally before the parade started when the “open mike” incident occurred because the Bush team refused to let Ryan introduce Bush. Dole walked with Edgar in Wheaton’s 1996 Independence Day parade. Obama and his wife walked in Wheaton’s 2004 Independence Day parade. I served as the Republican fundraiser for Wheaton Independence Day parades and fireworks from 2005 until Democrat and RINO DuPage County, Milton Township, and Wheaton leaders succeeded in having their operatives and dupes end that in 2021. – Dave Diersen

Mine include the success that my Democrat superiors in the federal government had wasting my career and forcing me to retire when I was 49 years old in 1997. They flushed down their toilets my almost 27 years of work experience, my three job-related master’s degrees, my six job-related professional certifications, and my job-related professional license. But worse than that, since 1997, far too many Republican leaders have sided with my Democrat superiors and have used the aforesaid to hint/imply/argue/shout that I disserved the aforesaid because I am a very bad person and even worse things. I should write about those Republican leaders who have had their operatives and their dupes take the most/biggest adverse actions against me lately. – Dave Diersen

Further my GPA was not that great, and while I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt, my scores on the four parts of the examination were not that great. Further, the accounting profession has always been under tremendous pressure to hire, retain, and promote young minorities and young females.

— FRONT PAGE WITH PICTURE: Car condo project pitched for Lake Zurich would include clubhouse, luxury car dealership. I should write about Iron Gate Motor Condos in Naperville and its unit owners. I have attended many events there since its opening. I bought a small unit there in 2020. I sold it and bought a bigger unit in 2023. I sold it and bought a bigger unit this year. If you are interested in muscle cars, especially Corvettes, Chargers, Mustangs, and Thunderbirds, please let me know.
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.”)

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.)

https://www.bizpacreview.com/2025/04/25/president-trump-just-delivered-a-knockout-blow-for-meritocracy-1538925/
(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.”)

— 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 stopped 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.

We want to make our own cars,” Trump said. Trump also suggested that he might increase import taxes on cars from Canada. “So when I put tariffs on Canada, they’re paying 25%, but that could go up in terms of cars. When we put tariffs on, all we’re doing is we’re saying, ‘We don’t want your cars, in all due respect.”)
