WHITE HOUSE
— RESTORING EQUALITY OF OPPORTUNITY AND MERITOCRACY
https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/04/restoring-equality-of-opportunity-and-meritocracy/

FROM ILLINOIS CENTER-LEFT SOURCES

CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— US Sen. Dick Durbin says he won’t run for sixth term. I remember, as a Republican Precinct Committeeman, distributing campaign literature and getting sign locations in my precinct for Durbin’s Republican opponents Curran in 2020, Oberweis in 2014, Sauerberg in 2008, and Durkin in 2002. Further, I remember, as a Republican Precinct Committeeman, doing that for Duckworth’s opponent Salvi in 2022, for Kirk in 2016 and 2010, and Keyes in 2004. Because they all were statewide races, my critics/opponents had a harder time blaming me and blaming my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters for Republican defeats.

CRAIN’S CHICAGO BUSINESS
— Durbin’s retirement sets off a stampede — and a massive generational shift in Illinois politics
https://www.chicagobusiness.com/politics/dick-durbin-retirement-sets-race-open-seats-illinois
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The GOP appears less poised to field a competitive Senate candidate in what is now a heavily Democratic state, but there has been some discussion about Richard Porter, an attorney who serves as the state’s Republican national committeeman. Also being touted by some Republicans is Rep. Ray LaHood, who represents Peoria and other downstate areas.)

CHICAGO MAGAZINE
— The 10 Pols Who Could Replace Dick Durbin
https://www.chicagomag.com/chicago-magazine/february-2024/the-10-pols-who-could-replace-dick-durbin/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: When U.S. senator Peter Fitzgerald announced his retirement in 2004, 16 candidates ran to succeed him. “Don’t you think it would be cool to be a senator?” one remarked. (Barack Obama, a state senator at the time, won — you might have heard of him.) . . . 5. Darin LaHood
The GOP will run a candidate, too, and LaHood is likely to be it. The last two times an Illinois Republican won a Senate race were 1998 and 2010 — nonpresidential years when a Democrat was in the White House, which seems to indicate that a Joe Biden reelection would help LaHood. (The Democrats also ran weak candidates those years.) Of the three Illinois Republicans in Congress, LaHood, elected to the House in 2015, is the most moderate. He’s from Peoria, which is Middle America personified. “He’s a guy who is politically disciplined and has not alienated the base,” says a conservative activist. “He can appeal to independents, too. He’s not a crazy MAGA.” Democrats would attack LaHood on abortion (he opposes) and voting with Trump on issues such as repealing Obamacare. He needs “to keep the race on economics and the lack of federal leadership, particularly with the border crisis,” the activist says.)

Mine came from my washing dishes, cleaning golf shoes, chipping slag, pumping gasoline, delivering mail, and working on an automotive assemble line. The aforesaid enabled me to graduate debt-free from NIU in 1970 owning a 1969 Dodge Charge SE. But my GPA suffered.

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

— How has EEOC impacted you? When I was 22 years old in 1971, my Firestone Store boss rudely fired me when I told him that I had accepted a job offer from Oldsmobile. But Oldsmobile withdrew that offer saying that it had just agreed to stop hiring Whites to settle an EEOC complaint. Because I had to have a job, I then accepted a job offer from IRS.

— To Escape the Grind, Young People Turn to ‘Mini-Retirements.’ Some young people are spending their savings on an extended break earlier in their careers rather than waiting until retirement. I did not take any days off at all while I worked for Firestone Stores August 1970-December 1972 and for IRS June 1971-June 1973.

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.

If you had to work your way through college, how would your life have been different if you had not had to do that? My high school, undergraduate, and graduate GPAs would have been higher. Instead of studying, I spent far too many hours washing dishes while I was a Crete-Monee student 1964-1966. My ACT score was only 24. I only just barely made it into the upper 20% of my high school class. Instead of studying, I spent far too many hours a) delivering mail while I was a UIC and NIU student 1966-1969, b) selling tires, automotive services, and major appliances while I was a UIC student in 1971, c) pumping gasoline while I was a Loyola student in 1972, d) collecting delinquent taxes while I was a Loyola and DePaul student 1972-1980, and e) auditing federal agencies while I was a DePaul student in 1980 and an IIT student 1992-1997.

None of my coworkers who they promoted over me had done anything close to that. They all were Democrats who 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.

My Democrat GAO superiors never promoted me to GS-14 even though a) I earned four more job-related professional certifications in 1990, 1994, 1996, and 1997 and b) earned a master’s degree in finance in 1997.

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.

The justices and judges in Diersen v GAO ( https://gopillinois.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/DiersenGAOFifthAmendedComplaint.pdf ) ruled that federal agencies can force their employees to retire, that is, they can fire their employees, a) because they are active members in class action lawsuits that charge them with reverse discrimination, age discrimination, or retaliation, b) because they oppose political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, religious discrimination, or national origin discrimination, and/or c) because they are conservative, Republican, White, male, older, non-veteran, Protestant, German American, and/or have ancestors who have been in America for a long time.

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.

— What harmed your career the most? For me, first, it was my Firestone Store manager’s disapproval of my demographics. Firestone Store’s District Office hired me and assigned me to his store in 1970. He never would have hired me. He vehemently disapproved of my avoiding the Vietnam War draft. Then it was Oldsmobile’s withdrawing its job offer because it had just agreed to stop hiring Whites to settle an EEOC complaint in 1971. That ended my career in automotive industry. My Firestone Store manager rudely fired me because I accepted that offer. I accepted IRS’s job offer in 1971 because I had to have a job. Then it was my Democrat IRS superiors’ success in getting rid of the manager who had promoted me in 1972, 1973, and 1974. Then it was my Democrat GAO superiors’ success in getting rid of the manager who had arranged for my transfer from IRS in 1980. My Democrat IRS and GAO superiors got rid of the aforesaid managers because they had advanced me instead of advancing my Democrat coworkers who were minority, female, younger, and/or veteran. But then, more significantly, it was my opposing my Democrat IRS and GAO superiors’ race and gender based preference giving, their political affiliation discrimination, their reverse discrimination, their age discrimination, their religious discrimination, and their national origin discrimination. But then, even more significantly, it was my becoming an active member in a class action lawsuit that charged my GAO superiors with reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation in 1988. – Dave Diersen

— What helped your career the most? For me, it was my a) earning an MBA from Loyola in 1976, b) my passing the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, c) my earning a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980, d) my passing the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981, e) my becoming a licensed CPA in 1981, f) my earning more professional certifications in 1990, 1994, 1996, and 1997, and g) my earning a master’s degree in finance in 1997. If I had not done the aforesaid, a) IRS would not have promoted me in 1972, 1973, and 1974 and b) GAO would not have hired me in 1980, promoted me in 1986, or let me work as long as it did. – Dave Diersen

DAILY HERALD
— FRONT PAGE TOP OF FOLD WITH BIG PICTURE: Democrat leaders crow about their success in defeating Republican township candidates. I should compare and contrast the eight Democrat Milton Township candidates who won with their eight Republican opponents who lost. For the April 1 election, what if Republican candidates, elected officials, and party leaders had promoted Trump’s policies as strongly as Democrat candidates, elected officials, and party leaders demonized, denigrated, and condemned Trump’s policies?
https://www.dailyherald.com/20250412/news/suburban-blue-wave-hits-township-races/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Suburban Democratic leaders say anger over the policies of President Donald Trump’s administration helped spur voters to action. “The best way to go against Trump and Musk is to put Democrats in office,” said Mark Guethle, chairman of the Democratic Party of Kane County. He said the township wins will help Democrats build a bench of candidates for future races for higher office. “Eventually, those people move up,” Guethle said. . .DuPage GOP leader Kevin Coyne said Republican candidates “ran good campaigns” but faced a “perfect storm of issues,” including an infusion of cash from the Democratic Party of Illinois to help bolster their candidates, the Trump factor, a demographic shift in the state as Republicans leave Illinois and being outpaced by Democrats in vote-by-mail ballots. . .McCollum, however, pointed to Election Day tallies and noted the majority of Democrats in contested races fared better when just looking at in-person Election Day vote tallies. He argued the bigger issue in the local races was Trump. . .Newly elected township officials plan to use these wins to focus on issues such as mental health care or other social assistance programs — services Democratic leaders fear may suffer under Trump’s administration.)
— Tariffs could cost them. They’re still standing by Trump. My standing by the Republican Party platform has cost me dearly. My critics/opponents reject some, many, most, virtually all, if not all the planks in the Republican Party platform.
