If I had been a Democrat, my Democrat superiors would not have and could not have taken the many big adverse actions against me that they did. The more of the following that Democrat federal employees are, the more Civil Service protections that they have: minority, female, younger, veteran, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or have ancestors who have not been in America for a long time.

If a minority or a woman had done that, they would have been infinitely more successful career wise than I was.

(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.)

— What has your Republican Precinct Committeeman done to help elect Republicans on April 1, 2025? 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

ABC7
— Postal workers rally downtown Chicago against reported plan to privatize USPS. Who do you know who has worked for the Post Office? The Democrats who ran the Park Forest Post office in 1966 hired me because they could not find a qualified Democrat, minority, female, or veteran who would take the job. They gambled and lost that I would become a Democrat. They disapproved of my being a Vietnam War draft avoider, conservative, Republican, Protestant, German American, Crete resident since 1948, and new car owner. I used my 1966 Pontiac Tempest Sprint to deliver mail 1966-1967, then my 1968 Oldsmobile 442 1967-1968, and then my 1969 Dodge Charger SE 1968-1969. I had bought my Pontiac with money that I earned washing dishes part-time 1964-1966. To get rid of me, they disallowed my sick leave requests in 1968 and 1969 and forced me to resign in 1969 by falsely arguing that I was not available to work enough part-time hours. I was available to work every Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday, holiday, and every day NIU was not in session.

— An 1883 Act is protecting federal workers from DOGE’s firing spree. Democrat and RINO leaders reject the Pendleton Act. For them, government exists to hire, to retain, and to promote Democrats and RINOs.
https://www.nprillinois.org/2025-03-23/an-1883-act-is-protecting-federal-workers-from-doges-firing-spree
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Starting in 1883, there came a series of reforms, culminating in the Pendleton Act, which established civil service and a merit system for persons competing for jobs. . .The Pendleton Act banned the hiring of relatives, donors and other supporters for a certain class of federal jobs that required special knowledge or skills. It also banned the firing of employees for political reasons. At first, the act covered just 10% of federal jobs, but it expanded to encompass the vast majority.)

The Democrats who ran GAO 1980-1997 wasted my career and forced me to retire when I was 49 years old in 1997. They would not have done that if I had been a Democrat, minority, female, and/or veteran.

— According to Democrat and RINO leaders, Republicans discriminate against those who are the following, and because of that discrimination, those who are the following cannot survive in America, let alone succeed in America, without massive government assistance and preference: minority, female, younger, unmarried, LGBTQ, veteran, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or have ancestors who have not been in America for a long time.
— Today, again using 800 mailing labels and 400 envelopes, I will hand-deliver Republican campaign literature and sample ballots to the 400 residences 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 complicates matters. I have divided my precinct into four zones. It takes me about three/four hours to walk a zone. While I walk my precinct, I will get 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

Because I had to have a job, I accepted a job offer from IRS.

— A front page top of fold article in today’s USA TODAY is titled “How Trump and Musk made federal employees America’s favorite punching bag. Why do Americans hate federal employees? Musk and Trump are stoking long-running resentment of the federal government and civil servants for their own political purposes.” I should write a book about how people view/treat federal employees and federal retirees. I was a federal employee for almost 30 years and I have been a federal retiree for more than 27 years. Of course, in my book, I would use as examples how my critics/opponents in Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois have viewed/treated me. Of course, they deny my having been a federal employee and my being a federal retiree have anything to do with it. I would focus on my critics/opponents who have lots of religious, government, political, and/or financial clout and who have had their operatives and dupes take the most/biggest adverse actions against me lately. – Dave Diersen

The agency shrank from over 6,000 employees to less than 3,000 employees. I was one of the last Republicans that GAO hired. My Democrat GAO superiors punished me severely because of those Republican budget cuts. I would not have survived for almost 18 years if I had not a) earned job-related master’s degrees in 1976, 1980, and 1997, b) earned job-related professional certifications in 1979, 1981, 1990, 1994, 1996, and 1997, and c) became a licensed CPA in 1981.

USA TODAY
— FRONT PAGE TOP OF FOLD: How Trump and Musk made federal employees America’s favorite punching bag. Why do Americans hate federal employees? Musk and Trump are stoking long-running resentment of the federal government and civil servants for their own political purposes. I should write a book about how people view/treat federal employees and federal retirees. I was a federal employee for almost 30 years and I have been a federal retiree for more than 27 years. Of course, in my book, I would use as examples how my critics/opponents in Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois viewed/treated me. Of course, they deny my having been a federal employee and my being a federal retiree have anything to do with it. I would focus on my critics/opponents who have lots of religious, government, political, and/or financial clout and who have had their operatives and dupes take the most/biggest adverse actions against me lately.

(FROM THE ARTICLE: To JB Pritzker: Please reply to this email with approx. 5 bullets of what you accomplished last week and cc your manager, the people of Illinois. Failure to respond will be taken as a resignation. Sincerely, The Illinois Republican Party P.S. We’re pretty sure you aren’t going to respond, so here are some suggestions: Compared Republicans to Nazis – A desperate, disgusting attack to distract from his own failures. Classy. Went on MSNBC for a Love Fest – Instead of working for Illinois families, he spent his time trying to impress liberal elites. Pushed More Tax Hikes – Because clearly, Illinois families and businesses just aren’t paying enough already. Doubled Down on Sanctuary Policies – Inviting even more illegal immigrants to Illinois while ignoring the financial and safety crisis it creates. Continued Pretending to Be President – Instead of fixing Illinois, he’s out there demanding that Trump and Congress listen to him. Delusional. Meanwhile, Illinois Republicans are focused on REAL solutions: Fighting for lower taxes and economic growth, Protecting our communities from crime and lawlessness, Standing with President Trump to secure our borders, Stopping Pritzker’s radical policies before they do even more damage)

— Democrat leaders say “Judges order Trump officials to offer jobs back to thousands of fired workers.” (COMMENT: If you were forced to retire early, would you take a reinstatement offer? After my Democrat GAO superiors forced me to retire when I was 49 years old in 1997, a low-level employee in GAO’s personnel office hinted verbally that he might be able to get me reinstated. I asked that he put the terms in writing, but he never did. To force me to retire, my Democrat GAO superiors made it clear to me that if I did not, they would make my next 6 years until I would be eligible for regular retirement a living hell for me. According to them, they would demote me, give me adverse transfers, give me bad job assignments, give me unfair performance expectations and appraisals, and even worse things. Previously, they had always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes, delayed my promotions and never promoted me beyond GS-13, kept me off audits of IRS for all but 3 years, and forced me to take a $23,472/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer to GAO from IRS when I was 31 years old in 1980. Previously, they had focused on making all my superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates despise me, if not hate me. They stressed that I was conservative, Republican, White, male, older, draft-avoider, Protestant, German American, my ancestors had been in America since 1844, a Crete resident 1948-1972, a Wheaton resident since 1978, and an IRS employee 1971-1980. They stressed that my wife had a good job, that we had no children or other dependents, that we had a home built in Wheaton in 1984, that we had no debts, that we owned two collector cars, etc. If GAO had been unionized, my GAO superiors would not have been able to take the aforesaid adverse actions against me that they did.)

GAO
— 1996 FLASHBACK: DEMOCRAT LEADERS SAY: GAO’s DOWNSIZING EFFORTS (COMMENT: I worked for the Democrats who ran GAO 1980-1997. Gingrich cut GAO’s budget 15 percent in 1996 and 10 percent in 1997.)
https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-T-OCG-96-4/pdf/GAOREPORTS-T-OCG-96-4.pdf )
(FROM THE REPORT: Last year, the Congress directed a 25 percent reduction in our funding—15 percent to be accomplished in fiscal year 1996 and an additional 10 percent in fiscal year 1997. Because nearly 80 percent of our budget pays for salaries and personnel-related costs, we reached the unavoidable conclusion that the agency could not absorb these reductions without significantly downsizing our workforce. In response to this budget situation, the Comptroller General established a team of senior level managers to assess the impact of the funding reductions and develop a plan for achieving these reductions. In July 1995, the Comptroller General approved the team’s plan to reduce GAO’s workforce by about 850 employees over 14 months. Under the plan, GAO’s workforce would be reduced to about 3,500 by the beginning of fiscal year 1997. The goal of the plan was to achieve large reductions in a way that would avoid major disruptions in our workplace, while leaving us with the skills required to carry out our mission and maintain current production levels.)

CENTRAL ILLINOIS PROUD
— Democrat leaders say that a new IRS program, Direct File, makes tax filing free and more efficient, but that Musk and DOGE may get rid of it anyway. (COMMENT: If you are a federal employee, and especially if you are an IRS employee, unofficially, if not officially, IRS audits all your returns. I was a federal employee 1966-1969 and 1971-1997 and I was an IRS employee 1971-1980. I started deducting my graduate business and accounting courses in 1972 and IRS had no problems with those deductions. But notwithstanding that, to get rid of me because I had complained about their political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination, my Democrat IRS superiors disallowed my education deductions in 1978. They outrageously, disgustingly, and falsely argued that the courses I deducted did not relate to my job duties, did not help maintain or improve my job skills, were taken by me to get a job in the private sector, and qualified me for a new trade or business. They ignored my IRS position descriptions, my graduate school applications, and that my IRS employee manual encouraged me to take those courses. The aforesaid is a big example of how the Democrats who run the federal government can and do use IRS to harm Republicans.)

Because my Democrat superiors wasted my career and forced me to retire when I was 49 years old in 1997, into today’s dollars, my CSRS pension is only 44% of what my salary was in 1997 and less than what my salary was in 1972.)

— Kevin Coyne: Board’s egregious conduct
https://www.dailyherald.com/20250312/letters-to-the-editor/boards-egregious-conduct/
(FROM THE LETTER: In 20 years of being deeply involved in DuPage County politics, I have never seen elected officials behave as disrespectfully and unprofessionally as the numerous Democratic Board members during the recent hearing on whether or not the board would remove Henry Hyde’s name from our county courthouse. The incredibly insulting idea to cancel the name of the prolific Henry Hyde was bad enough. But to cut off public comment on the proposal, after just 30 minutes, was something none of the many current and former officials in attendance had ever seen before. It was a terrible insult to all of the people who cared deeply about the legacy of Henry Hyde. People came from all over to speak at this hearing. Sadly, the majority of the board did not care to hear them. While these board members try to paint Hyde as a conservative extremist, Hyde’s legacy is not extreme and is very nuanced. Yes, Hyde was pro-life and he sponsored the Hyde Amendment (a bill that both Joe Biden and Ted Kennedy also voted for). Hyde led on the Brady Bill and Family Leave Act. Jesse Jackson Jr. gave remarks at Hyde’s memorial services and pointed to Hyde’s ability to work across the aisle. Hyde was very bipartisan in approach, a concept that is unfortunately lost by politicians today…certainly by the Democratic members of the DuPage County Board. Hyde’s collaborating and inclusive approach to legislating is sorely missed. We should do our best to remember his name and style, not forget it. Hopefully residents learn about what happened at this hearing. It was evident to all in attendance that the Board cared a whole lot more about pandering to their political activists than about good government.)
JOURNAL COURIER
— Democrat leaders say “Federal workers deserve respect, not cruelty.” (COMMENT: I should write about my critics/opponents who despise/hate federal employees and federal retirees the most. According to them, federal employees are grossly overpaid and their benefits are far too generous, and for federal retirees, their pensions and health insurance benefits are far too generous. I was a despised/hated federal employee for almost 30 years and I have been a despised/hated federal retiree for more than 27 years. While I was a federal employee, my salary increased from $19.37/hour to $153,151/year in today’s dollars. My Civil Service Retirement System pension is $66,780/year. The federal government pays 72% of my and my wife’s health insurance premiums. In my defense, while I was a federal employee, I earned a) a job-related bachelor’s degree, b) three job-related master’s degrees, c) six job-related professional certifications, and d) a job-related professional license.)

— Have you been a candidate? Have you been primaried? In 1999, I was the Assistant Precinct Committeeman (PC) for the DuPage County Milton Township Precinct 9 in Wheaton. The PC for that precinct resigned and endorsed me to me to be appointed to fill the vacancy, and that happened in December of 1999. But for the 2000 election, my Milton Township Republican Organization critics/opponents recruited a female registered Republican voter in my precinct to run against me. I won because both Peter Roskam and Randy Hultgren endorsed me in writing. – Dave Diersen

— Are/were you bureaucratic bloat? To deal with Gingrich-led Republican budget cuts in the 1990s, my Democrat GAO superiors forced me to retire in 1997. They did not do that to my coworkers who were also eligible to retire, but who were Democrat, minority, female, veteran, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or had ancestors who had been in America for a long time. I had more work experience, more education, and/or more professional certifications than all my coworkers who my Democrat GAO superiors did not force to retire. I was the only one in the office who had a professional license. – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com
— I should write about my critics/opponents who despise/hate federal employees and federal retirees the most. According to them, federal employees are grossly overpaid and their benefits are far too generous, and for federal retirees, their pensions and health insurance benefits are far too generous. I was a despised/hated federal employee for almost 30 years and I have been a despised/hated federal retiree for more than 27 years. While I was a federal employee, my salary increased from $19.37/hour to $153,151/year in today’s dollars. My Civil Service Retirement System pension is $66,780/year. The federal government pays 72% of my and my wife’s health insurance premiums. In my defense, while I was a federal employee, I earned a) a job-related bachelor’s degree, b) three job-related master’s degrees, c) six job-related professional certifications, and d) a job-related professional license. – Dave Diersen

— Democrat leaders ever-increasingly shout at veterans that they are especially hard-hit by federal cuts. While I was a federal employee for almost 30 years, many, most, and at times, virtually all my Democrat superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates were veterans. Ever since I became a federal employee when I was 18 years old in 1966, to turn them against me, my Democrat superiors stressed to them that I avoided the Vietnam War draft and they ever-increasingly hinted/implied/argued/shouted at them that if I had not avoided the Vietnam War draft, I would not have been able to a) earn a bachelor’s degree when I was 21, b) earn master’s degrees when I was 27, 31, and 48, c) earn professional certifications when I was 30, 32, 41, 45, 47, and 48, d) earn a professional license when I was 32, e) buy new cars when I was 19, 20, 23, 25, 29, etc., f) buy real estate when I was 24, 25, 27, 29, and 35, g) go on vacations when I was 20, 21, 22, 24, 25, 26, 27, etc., g) get married when I was 29, h) buy collector cars when I was 40 and 45, i) etc. I should write about my Democrat superiors who were veterans and who took the most/biggest adverse actions against me. – Dave Diersen

Ever since I became a federal employee when I was 18 years old in 1966, to turn them against me, my Democrat superiors stressed to them that I avoided the Vietnam War draft and they ever-increasingly hinted/implied/argued/shouted at them that if I had not avoided the Vietnam War draft, I would not have been able to a) earn a bachelor’s degree when I was 21, b) earn master’s degrees when I was 27, 31, and 48, c) earn professional certifications when I was 30, 32, 41, 45, 47, and 48, d) earn a professional license when I was 32, e) buy new cars when I was 19, 20, 23, 25, 29, etc., f) buy real estate when I was 24, 25, 27, 29, and 35, g) go on vacations when I was 20, 21, 22, 24, 25, 26, 27, etc., g) get married when I was 29, h) buy collector cars when I was 40 and 45, i) etc. I should write about my Democrat superiors who were veterans and who took the most/biggest adverse actions against me.)
https://lakeconews.com/news/81048-5-reasons-veterans-are-especially-hard-hit-by-federal-cuts
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Federal law requires employers to give veterans an advantage in hiring over people who have not served in the military. Under the 1944 Veterans Preference Act, employers should hire veterans over other candidates and retain veterans over other employees during layoffs. The idea is to compensate for the economic loss of serving in the military and acknowledge the government’s obligation, especially, to support disabled veterans. Due to this veterans preference, nearly 30% of federal workers are veterans, half of whom are disabled. This means that veterans, who make up 6.1% of the U.S. population, are disproportionately affected by federal worker cuts. One estimate is that of the 38,000 federal employees fired in the first five weeks of the Trump administration, 6,000 are veterans.)

I should write about my critics/opponents who continue to have their operatives and their dupes do everything that they can to stop me from sending out my newsletters and to stop everyone from reading my newsletters. More recently, they had me removed me from the Illinois Republican Party State Convention Platform and Resolutions Committee and they ended by service as the Republican fundraiser for Wheaton Independence Day parades and fireworks.)

We spoke to seven of them about the abuses they uncovered, what they really think about DOGE and what all this means for the future of American democracy.” (COMMENT: When my Democrat GAO superiors forced me to retire when I was 49 years old in 1997, I had the right work experience, education, professional certifications, and professional license to work Inspector General Offices in Chicago. But none of them were interested in me. Democrats do not want Republicans to audit Democrats.)

— Democrat leaders say “Musk Calls Entitlements the Big One to Cut” (COMMENT: My critics/opponents have always painted my federal salary, benefits, and pension as being entitlements instead of earned. I should write about my critics/opponents. I would focus on those whose parents a) were wealthy, b) paid for their college expenses, and/or c) got them good jobs in the private sector. My parents were not wealthy. I had to work my way through college. My father died suddenly in 1969 when he was 47 and I was 21. I would focus on my critics/opponents who never applied for a federal job or who applied and were rejected a) because they lacked qualifications and/or b) because they could not pass a background investigation. Even though I was conservative, Republican, White, male, non-veteran, Protestant, German American, and my ancestors had been in America since 1844, a) the Democrats who ran the Post Office hired me in 1966, b) the Democrats who ran IRS in 1971, and c) the Democrats who ran GAO in 1980. I had qualified myself by a) passing the postal employment test and earning a high school diploma in 1966, b) passing the Federal Service Entrance Examination and earning a bachelor’s degree in management in 1970, c) earning an MBA in 1976, and d) passing the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979.)

INSIDE HIGHER EDUCATION
— Democrat leaders say “How standardized tests became part of the DEI debate.” (COMMENT: According to my critics/opponents, I owe all my successes in passing tests to my benefitting from discrimination against those who share their demographics. My critics/opponents are moderate/liberal, minority, female, younger, unmarried, veteran, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or have ancestors who have not been in America for as long as my ancestors. The many tests that I passed include those needed to get hired by the federal government, to earn three master’s degrees, and to earn two professional certifications. I passed on my first attempt the CPA examination when I was 30 years old in 1979 and the Certified Internal Auditor examination in 1981.)
