Nathan Cartagena, Ph.D., who has been an assistant professor of philosophy at Wheaton College since 2018, has repeatedly exhibited “left-wing racial politics laundered through a patina of ‘Christianese,'” according to an analysis of his writings posted on the website “For Wheaton.” Educated at Grove City College, Texas A&M University and Baylor University, Cartagena’s profile asserts that he specializes in Thomas Aquinas, civil rights activist James Baldwin, Critical Race Theory, military ethics, “Evangélic@ Theology,” and Christian pedagogy.)

WASHINGTON POST
— Younger Democrats want to force an uncomfortable conversation about age. Many complain the party is dominated by an older generation of leaders who have lost touch with Americans’ day-to-day struggles. Democrat and RINO leaders use up-or-out, that is, age discrimination, to get rid of Republicans. Republicans should know that Democrat and RINO leaders will get rid of you if you are not making say a) $100,000/year by age 25, c) $200,000/year by age 30, d) $300,000/year by age 35, e) $400,000/year by age 40, f) etc.

In today’s dollars, a) my GAO salary was $153,151/year and b) my Civil Service Retirement System pension is $66,780/year. That means that my wife and I have had $86,371/year less income since 1997.

— Republicans in Congress are drafting a tax bill that raises the state and local tax deduction cap for individuals from $10,000 to $25,000. I started itemizing when I was 24 years old in 1972 and my wife and I started in 1978. We paid less federal income tax because of that. But SALT ended all that. My critics/opponents have been furious that we have paid less federal income tax by itemizing. They want SALT and they do not want the SALT cap to be increased.

All eight Republican township candidates on my DuPage County Milton Township Precinct 59 ballot lost because the Democrats in the township, including my precinct, voted for the Democrat candidates to punish Trump. How successful were your Republican township candidates? Ever since my wife and I moved to Milton Township in 1978, all of the Milton Township elected officials have been Republican. Since 2000, as a Republican Precinct Committeeman, I have done much to help elect and reelect Republican Milton Township candidates, including hand-delivering their campaign literature to the residences in my precinct (currently 400) that have at least one Republican or one Independent registered voter.

— Melania Trump Reveals Barron Trump’s Living Situation For College. Like Barron, I lived with my parents while I attended college. I lived with them in Crete while I took classes at UIC 1966-1968, weekends while I attended NIU during the winter/spring of 1969, and the summer of 1969.
https://www.aol.com/melania-trump-reveals-barron-trumps-120119348.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Melania Trump said her son Barron Trump is living at home while he attends New York University. “I could not say I’m an empty nester. I don’t feel that way,” the former first lady told Fox & Friends’ Ainsley Earhardt in an interview that aired Thursday. “It was his decision to come here, that he wants to be in New York and study in New York and live in his home, and I respect that.” That would presumably mean that the new college man is living at the family’s longtime Trump Tower residence on Fifth Avenue and commuting a few miles south to the Greenwich Village campus. Barron Trump is former President Donald Trump’s youngest son and his only child with Melania Trump. He graduated from Oxbridge Academy in West Palm Beach, Florida, in May and began classes at NYU’s Stern School of Business in early September.)

WASHINGTON POST
— Trump’s threat of towering tariffs on European booze is sobering. Wine and spirits can be markers of national and regional identity — which could make a coming trade fight between the U.S. and Europe much more emotional. The Democrat GAO Chicago office manager who led the Democrat effort to waste my career and to get rid of me was an extremely big drinker. If he had not had to go on extended sick leave in 1985 because of his big drinking, the GAO manager who arranged for my transfer from IRS in 1980 would not have been able to assign me to audits of IRS in 1986 or to promote me in 1986.

My critics/opponents despise/hate cars, and especially American nameplate cars, and more especially muscle cars, and even more especially Corvettes. I have owned American nameplate cars since 1964, muscle cars since 1966, a 1972 Corvette since 1971, and a 2005 Corvette since 2005.

GAO ( https://gopillinois.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/DiersenGAOFifthAmendedComplaint.pdf ) sided with GAO, that is, they sided with political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, religious discrimination, national origin discrimination, and retaliation. Their rulings tremendously discourage those who share my demographics from applying to work for GAO. I am conservative, Republican, White, male, older, non-veteran, Protestant, German American, and I have ancestors who have been in America for a long time. I have three job-related master’s degrees, six job-related professional certifications, and a job-related professional license.

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Democratic U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts asked the Government Accountability Office (GAO) to seek answers to those questions and to study the impacts of the firings, arguing that removing people from critical areas of government — such as air travel, wildland firefighting, infectious disease control, nuclear security and veterans’ health care — has put the county’s health and safety at risk. In a letter to Warren and other Democratic senators, the federal office said it accepted their request to review the firings.

— Upcoming ‘New Illinois’ convention to split state driven by rural, urban divide. Will Cook County stay Illinois and the rest of the state become ‘New Illinois?’
https://www.thecentersquare.com/illinois/article_a5c82042-cb19-45de-b3fe-7068ab7ad5cc.html
(COMMENT: The divide between rural and urban areas in Illinois is one of the main drivers of many looking to split the state in two. G.H. Merritt is chairman of New Illinois, a group that plans their seventh constitutional convention next weekend in Bloomington. The movement aims to make a new state out of most of Illinois, excluding Cook County. “When you have a very large group of people that is disenfranchised, that is going to cause division and I think separating states maybe would help people get along better,” Merritt told The Center Square. Merritt said a 1964 U.S. Supreme Court ruling effectively allowed a state’s largest populated area to dictate politics for the rest of the state. “When you take a state that already has a history of corruption and you apply Reynolds v. Sims to that, that causes all the power to be concentrated like that, that opens the door for no accountability, opens the door for more corruption,” Merritt said. Among similar movements in other states around the country, Indiana recently created a commission to investigate absorbing counties that want to split from Illinois. “Their economy in Northwest Indiana is so tied into the economy of Chicago that if Chicago goes the way of Detroit … that is going to adversely affect them,” said Merritt. Merritt doesn’t expect Indiana’s effort to succeed, as it requires cooperation from Illinois Democrats. Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker said Indiana’s efforts were a “stunt.” One element impacting many to move toward separating the state into two is the state’s finances. Illinois’ pension debt is among the worst in the country and the state’s residents pay among the highest taxes in the country. “People look at this on the surface and think it’s a Democrat versus Republican thing, that is not the way we see it at all,” Merritt said. “It is an urban versus rural, small town and suburban thing.” Among the “grievances” New Illinois has published on their website are: Lack of representative government, extreme gerrymandering, violation of Second Amendment rights and “the government of Illinois is a tyranny.” The New Illinois Convention is Friday evening, April 4, and all day Saturday, April 5, at the Chateau Hotel and Convention Center in Bloomington.)

Yesterday, using 800 mailing labels and 400 envelopes, I finished hand-delivering Republican campaign literature and sample ballots to the 400 residences (375 homes and 25 low-income apartments) in my DuPage County Milton Township Precinct 59 in Wheaton that have at least one Republican or one Independent voter. My precinct having three different ballot styles complicated matters. I divided my precinct into five zones. It took me three+ hours to walk each zone. While I walked my precinct, I got a measure of the success that hate-filled Trump-hating Trump haters have had promoting more hatred against Trump. Republican Precinct Committeemen are lightning rods for that hatred. 478 in my precinct voted for Harris. – Dave Diersen

— According to Democrat leaders, to be American is to be anti-Trump, anti-conservative, anti-Republican, anti-American, anti-White, anti-male, anti-older people, anti-Protestant, anti-German American, and anti-those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time. – Dave Diersen

— For Democrat teachers, to teach the history of something is to promote that something. Democrat teachers promote the Democrat Party platform, that is, they promote dependency on government and charity, LGBTQ, abortion, mass/illegal immigration, 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. Because my parents sent me to Protestant parochial schools, I escaped the aforesaid. – Dave Diersen

— Democratic U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts has asked GAO to study the impacts of federal employee firings. The Democrats who ran GAO in 1997 fired me, that is, they forced me to retire. By doing that, they flushed down their toilets what I had learned a) working for GAO 1980-1997, the last 11 years of which at the GS-13 Step 1-10 Levels, currently $117,807-$153,151/year, b) working for IRS 1971-1980, the last 5 1/2 years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 Levels, currently $99,069-$112,280/year, c) earning an MBA from Loyola in 1976, a master/s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980, and a master’s degree in finance from IIT in 1997, d) passing the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, e) passing the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt and became a licensed CPA in 1981, and f) earning four more job-related professional certifications in 1990, 1994, 1996, and 1997. – Dave Diersen

— What has helped you survive attempts to fire you? After I transferred from IRS to GAO when I was 31 years old in 1980, my Democrat GAO superiors would have fired me if I had not already served my probational period working for IRS 1971-1980. My doing the following helped me survive for almost 18 years working for my Democrat GAO superiors: a) my earning master’s degrees in business, accounting, and finance in 1976, 1980, and 1997, b) my passing the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, c) my passing the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt and becoming a licensed CPA in 1981, and d) my earning four more job-related professional certifications in 1990, 1994, 1996, and 1997. – Dave Diersen
