GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— What are you thankful for? Among the many things that I am thankful for is my not having been born later than I was. Democrat and RINO leaders have ever-increasingly used Affirmative Action and DEI to require more preference to be given to those who do not share my demographics, that is, Democrat and RINO leaders have ever-increasingly required more political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, religious discrimination, and national origin discrimination. UIC accepted me when I was 18 in 1966, NIU when I was 20, Loyola when I was 23, DePaul when I was 27, and IIT when I was 43, but I doubt that they would admit me if I was those ages today. The Post Office hired me when I was 18, Firestone Stores when I was 21, IRS when I was 22, and GAO when I was 31, but I doubt that they would hire me if I was those ages today. The aforesaid education and jobs enabled me to earn professional certifications when I was 30, 32, 41, 45, 47, and 48, but I doubt that I could earn those professional certifications if I was those ages today. The aforesaid education and jobs enabled me to become a licensed CPA when I was 32, but I doubt that I could become a licensed CPA if I was 32 today. The aforesaid education and jobs enabled me to buy new cars when I was 17, 19, 20, 23, 25, and 29, to buy real estate when I was 24, 25, 27, 29, and 35, and to get married when I was 29, but I doubt that I could do the aforesaid if I was those ages today. – Dave Diersen

BREAKTHROUGH IDEAS
— DOGE IL DD: There would be no need for DOGE if Gingrich had reformed GAO instead of gutting it. If Gingrich had reformed GAO, I would have volunteered to help him. I was one of GAO’s extremely few Republican employees. I worked for the Democrats who ran GAO 1980-1997, the last 11 years of which at the GS-13 Step 1-10 Levels, currently $117,807-$153,151/year. I earned professional certifications in accounting in 1979, internal auditing in 1981, fraud examination in 1990, government financial management in 1994, financial services auditing in 1996, and forensic accounting in 1997. I became a licensed CPA in 1981. I earned master’s degrees in business in 1976, accounting in 1980, and finance in 1997. I would have shown Gingrich how my Democrat GAO superiors wasted my career because I was not a Democrat, minority, female, younger, or veteran. I would have shown Gingrich that GAO took adverse actions against me because he cut GAO’s budgets, because I complained about their political Affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination, and because I became an active member in a class action lawsuit in 1988 that charged them with the aforesaid.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YB1UWH165kA
— A sign featuring coded language threatening President Donald Trump and equating his supporters with Nazis greeted guests to an event last week headlined by Michigan Democrat gubernatorial front-runner Jocelyn Benson and U.S. Senate candidate Mallory McMorrow. The sign, displayed by local Democrats, said “MAGA=NAZI” and “86 47.” The number “86” originated in restaurants to mean “cancel” or “throw out,” but in underworld slang it is frequently used as a call sign for murdering someone. The number “47” is commonly interpreted as denoting the 47th president of the United States, Trump. Recently, when Trump foe James Comey posted to social media a cryptic photo featuring “86 47,” it was taken seriously enough that Secret Service investigated the matter.

BIZ JOURNALS
— True financial independence. DD: My father died suddenly in 1969 when he was 47 and I was 21. My mother had never worked outside the home. My brother was having problems. I applied for a financial hardship draft deferment in 1970 and got it in 1971. I helped support my mother and brother until September of 1972 when I bought a new town home in University Park.
https://www.bizjournals.com/seattle/bizwomen/news/out-of-the-office/2025/10/the-next-chapter-true-independence.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: We all remember holding our breath for our 18th birthdays, believing that day would somehow give us the wings we needed to fly and mark our true independence. For some, that may be accurate, but many of us recognize true independence often comes years later. According to USA Today, 27 is the age parents expect their children to achieve financial independence. A recent study revealed that many parents feel this age strikes a balance between education, career building, and personal responsibility. Economic pressures such as student loans, inflated rents and stagnant wages have delayed financial independence for millions of millennials and Gen Z. Many parents continue to provide financial support for their children late into their twenties, often covering essentials like housing, healthcare, and transportation.)

The aforesaid is political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, religious discrimination, and national origin discrimination.

ILLINOIS REVIEW
— GOP Leader Norine Hammond Takes $50K from Liberal Groups Backing Transgender Lessons, Mask Mandates, Anti-Trump Agendas
https://www.illinoisreview.com/illinoisreview/2025/10/gop-leader-norine-hammond-takes-50k-from-liberal-groups-backing-transgender-lessons-mask-mandates-anti-trump-agendas.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Illinois State Representative and Deputy House Republican Leader Norine Hammond (R-Macomb) is drawing sharp criticism from conservatives after campaign finance records revealed she accepted $50,000 from far-left teachers’ unions that have long opposed Republican priorities and the Trump agenda. According to filings with the Illinois State Board of Elections, Hammond received $10,000 from the American Federation of Teachers (AFT) in 2024 and $40,000 from IPACE, the Illinois Political Action Committee for Education, in 2022. Both organizations are deeply connected to progressive causes, including transgender curriculum in schools, abortion expansion, and classroom DEI mandates. The donations are now fueling questions about Hammond’s alignment with the same liberal institutions her conservative constituents overwhelmingly reject. In 2024, roughly 70 percent of voters in her 94th District backed Donald Trump, signaling clear support for conservative and pro-family policies. Yet Hammond’s recent record tells a different story. In 2023, she voted with Democrats to expand “gender-affirming” patient rights legislation – allowing broader access to taxpayer-funded services for transgender individuals, including minors. The bill was celebrated by progressive activists and condemned by conservatives as an overreach that undermines parental rights and faith-based medical freedoms. The AFT, led by Randi Weingarten, was a driving force behind extended school shutdowns, student mask mandates, and the promotion of controversial and pornographic books in classrooms. The $40,000 from IPACE ties Hammond even closer to Springfield’s left-wing education establishment, which routinely funds Democrats pushing transgender policies, abortion rights, and the removal of parental oversight in schools.)

— News organizations, including Hegseth’s former employer Fox, reject new Pentagon reporting rules. DD: I have been the GOPUSA Illinois Reporter since 2000.

I would focus on those who destroy those like me a) who they cannot manipulate or dominate, b) who refuse to glorify and praise them, c) who refuse to pander to them, d) who refuse to serve as one of their operatives or dupes, e) who refuse to cover up their wrong doing, and/or e) who refuse to give them money. I would focus on those who have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me lately.
https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2025/oct/15/news-organizations-including-hegseths-former-employer-fox-reject/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The Pentagon has said the rules establish “common sense media procedures” and wants news outlets to sign a statement acknowledging them, even if they don’t agree with them. The news outlets have said that they are concerned, however, that their reporters will be subject to expulsion if they simply try to report news not approved by Hegseth. The Pentagon’s new press policy undermines the First Amendment and AP’s core values as an independent global news organization,” the AP said in its statement. “The restrictions impede the public’s access to information about their government and limit the people’s right to know. AP remains focused on continuing to produce strong independent coverage of the Pentagon in the public interest.”)

DD: My Democrat superiors in the federal government wasted my career and forced me to retire when I was 49 years old in 1997. My Democrat Post Office superiors wasted what I learned delivering mail for almost 3 years while I completed courses in management at UIC and NIU. They forced me to resign falsely arguing that I was not available to work enough part-time hours. My Democrat IRS superiors wasted what I learned collecting delinquent taxes for almost 9 years while I completed graduate evening business and accounting courses at Loyola and DePaul and passed the CPA examination on my first attempt. They refused to promote me beyond GS-12. My Democrat GAO superiors wasted what I learned auditing federal agencies for almost 18 years while I passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt, became a licensed CPA, and completed graduate evening finance courses. They kept me off audits of IRS for all but 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for GAO. They refused to promote me beyond GS-13 and forced me to retire when I was 49 years old in 1997. So far, they have forced the Civil Service Retirement System to pay me $1.9 million in today’s dollars to stop me from coming to work. They would not have done the aforesaid if I had been a Democrat, minority, female, and/or veteran.

USA TODAY
— How To Choose The Right College Major. DD: My biggest career mistake was not majoring in accounting from the beginning. I erroneously believed that because I was not strong in math, I could never pass the CPA examination. I did not start taking graduate evening accounting courses until I was 27 in 1976. 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 from DePaul until I was 31. I did not take and pass the Certified Internal Auditor examination until I was 32. I did not become a licensed CPA until I was 32. By then, the accounting profession viewed me as being much too old. The accounting profession would not have done that if I had been a minority, female, and/or veteran.
https://www.usatoday.com/press-release/story/16252/how-to-choose-the-right-college-major-student-career-decision-guide/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Assessment first: Use personality tests, skills evaluations, and values assessments to understand natural strengths before picking a major. Research reality: Look beyond salary figures to examine job market trends, daily responsibilities, and long-term career satisfaction rates in chosen fields. Timing matters: The 15-25 age window offers optimal decision-making opportunities before life circumstances make career changes more difficult. Avoid pressure: Don’t let parental expectations, peer choices, or social media influence override personal interests and natural abilities. Get expert help: Professional career advice can provide structured guidance to help students make confident decisions within weeks rather than years of trial and error.)

I spent far too many hours delivering mail while I was earning my bachelor’s degree instead of studying. I should have majored in accounting. I did not become a Democrat. I complained about political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination. I became an active member in a class action lawsuit that charged my superiors with reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation.

EQUITABLE GROWTH
— America’s job-quality crisis and how to revive workers’ pay, dignity, job advancement, and economic well-being. DD: According to my critics/opponents, a) all the jobs that I had were bad jobs that they would never stoop to take and b) I was always grossly overpaid. In my defense, to qualify myself for better paying jobs, a) I earned a job-related bachelor’s degree (management), b) I earned three job-related master’s degrees (business, accounting, and finance), c) I earned six job-related professional certifications (accounting, internal auditing, fraud examination, government financial management, financial services auditing, and forensic accounting), and d) I earned a job-related professional license (CPA). Nevertheless, I never earned more than $153,151/year in today’s dollars. The fact that few qualified minorities and women wanted the federal jobs that I had proves that they were bad jobs. Qualified minorities and females could always get better jobs in the private sector.

HUFFINGTON POST

I earned a job-related bachelor’s degree (management) when I was 21. I earned three job-related master’s degrees (business, accounting, and finance) when I was 27, 31, and 48. I earned six job-related professional certifications (accounting, internal auditing, fraud examination, government financial management, financial services auditing, and forensic accounting) when I was 30 32, 41, 45, 47, and 48. I earned a job-related professional license (CPA) when I was 32. But by the time I earned the aforesaid, it was too late, I was views as being too old to have a successful career. That would not have been the case if I had been a minority, female, and/or veteran.

— Who do your critics/opponents call losers? SEE: https://www.google.com/search?q=losers My critics/opponents call federal employees losers who are White, male, and/or nonveteran and who do not make GS-13 ($117,807) by age 25, GS-14 ($139,211) by age 30, GS-15 ($163,749) by age 35, and Senior Executive Service ($195,200) by age 40. Extremely few federal employees make the aforesaid promotion deadlines. My critics/opponents stress that I did not make GS-13 until I was 38 in 1986 and that I never made GS-14. In my defense, I stress that Democrats run the federal government and I never became a Democrat and a) that I did not earn job-related master’s degrees until I was 27, 31, and 48, b) that I did not earn job-related professional certifications until I was 30, 32, 41, 45, 47, and 48, and c) that I did not earn a job-related professional license until I was 32. Further, my critics/opponents call Republican Precinct Committeemen (RPC) losers who are White, male, and/or nonveteran and who not become township party leaders, county party leaders, and Illinois Republican Party leaders. Extremely few RPCs become party leaders. My critics/opponents stress that while I have been a RPC since 1999, I have never been a party leader.

They ever-increasingly blame conservatives for their problems, for your problems, and for everyone’s problems. They ever-increasingly dismiss, belittle, badmouth, isolate, ostracize, marginalize, blacklist, cancel, demonize, denigrate, and condemn conservatives. They ever-increasingly take adverse actions against conservatives. I should write about my critics/opponents. I would focus on those who have lots of religious, government, political, and/or financial clout in Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois.

Additionally, a rally is scheduled in La Grange from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. on La Grange Road between Cossitt and Goodman avenues. In Elmhurst, protestors plan to gather from 2:30 to 4:30 p.m. but the location is undisclosed. In Bartlett, a rally is set for 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. near the Veterans Memorial at the southwest corner of Stearns and Bartlett roads. The protests are meant to show support for traditional democratic values, including fair elections, due process for all, economic equality and free speech, according to an Indivisible DuPage news release. “These values have faced ongoing challenges by the current Republican administration. Our protests are particularly meaningful at this time given the increased federal presence in Chicago and ICE raids currently taking place in the suburbs,” according to the release. Indivisible DuPage is planning the day of protests locally, along with organizations including the Glen Ellyn branch of the League of Women Voters, the College of DuPage Faculty Association and Indivisible Illinois. More than 2,000 No Kings 2.0 events are registered around the country by local pro-democracy groups, an increase from the first No Kings Day events.

— Chicago Mayor Refuses to Answer If He Would Deport an Illegal Who Beat, Raped His Own Wife – Cracks Joke Instead
https://www.westernjournal.com/video-chicago-mayor-refuses-answer-deport-illegal-beat-raped-wife-cracks-joke-instead/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Reporter William Kelly teed up Johnson’s humiliating self-own by recounting a crime that occurred last month, in which an illegal alien from Nicaragua grabbed a woman on the street, bashed her head in, and raped her. “If that had been your wife, Stacie, would you want ICE to deport … that illegal alien? Yes or no?” Kelly asked. Instead of responding, Johnson made a snarky jab, claiming Kelly’s YouTube views had dropped recently. Kelly quipped that his social-media views were much higher than the mayor’s. The reporter then asked Johnson to answer his question. “Answer the question as a man — not as a mayor — but as a man,” Kelly reiterated. “Would you want ICE to deport that rapist?” Once again, Johnson refused to respond. “No? Okay, that’s the answer,” Kelly said. Kelly also ripped Johnson for his frivolous race-baiting, saying the minorities he has spoken to are furious that their mayor prioritizes foreign invaders over Chicago residents. “The real Chicagoans that I talk to, that I communicate with — mostly black and brown, actually — tell me that you don’t seem to know the difference between illegal aliens and real Chicago citizens,” Kelly told Johnson. “They feel that you are siding with the illegal aliens over them in their communities.” As a reminder, Johnson has repeatedly claimed Trump’s move to deploy the National Guard to eradicate crime in Chicago is racist. This flippant invocation of the overused “Race Card” is ironic, since Johnson is under federal investigation for admitting he usually hires black people because they’re the “most generous race” on Earth. As is usually the case when it comes to Democrats, every accusation is a confession. So when left-wing foghorns such as Brandon Johnson call someone “racist,” they’re merely projecting their own racism onto their opponents in order to silence them. Reporter William Kelly is correct: Johnson and his Democratic comrades constantly prioritize the welfare of third-world foreign invaders over the safety of law-abiding, taxpaying American citizens. This toxic, unpatriotic trend must be stopped before this nation devolves into a third-world dumping ground for unvetted armies of illegal aliens who show open contempt for the United States.)

NEW YORK TIMES
— DD: What has helped you pay for your health insurance premiums? For me, it has been my taking federal jobs 1966-1969 and 1971-1997 that my peers ether a) failed/refused to qualify themselves for or b) simply refused to take. The federal government pays 72% of my and my wife’s health insurance premiums because I am a retired federal employee. I qualified myself for my Post Office job in 1966 by taking and passing the postal employment examination and earning a high school diploma. I qualified myself for my IRS job in 1971 by taking and passing the Federal Service Entrance Examination and earning a job-related bachelor’s degree. I qualified myself for my GAO in 1980 job by earning a job-related master’s degree and passing the CPA examination on my first attempt.
