— Deportations will reverse erosion of US wages from illegal alien suppression. Back in the good old days, that is, during the 1960s, a) I was able to buy a new 1966 Pontiac Tempest Sprint in when I was 17 years old in May of 1966 after earning the minimum wage (inflation adjusted $12.36/hour) part-time for 15 months and full-time for 3 months, b) I was able to buy a new 1968 Oldsmobile 442 in December of 1967 after earning a GS-4 Step 1 salary (currently $19.37/hour) part-time for 9 months and full-time for 3 months, and c) I was able to buy a new 1969 Dodge Charger SE in December of 1968 after earning a GS-4 Step 2 salary (currently $20.02/hour) part time for 9 months and full-time for 3 months. In addition, with the aforesaid salaries and then earning a GS-4 Step 3 salary (currently $20.67/hour) part-time for 7 months and full-time for 3 months, I paid my UIC expenses 1966-1968 and my NIU expenses in 1969 and 1970 and graduated debt-free in August of 1970 owning that Charger. Granted, my parents provided me with room and board during the aforesaid time except for 3 semesters and a summer session while I was at NIU.

In my defense, I paid 7% of my federal salary into the CSRS. In my defense, if my Democrat GAO superiors had not forced me to retire, I might still be working for GAO and paying into the CSRS. Constructively, so far, in today’s dollars, my Democrat GAO superiors have forced CSRS to pay me $1.85 million to stop me from working for GAO.

(FROM THE ARTICLE: According to data from the Social Security Administration, you need to make $794,129 annually to be in the top 1% of wage earners in the U.S. This is based on an analysis of the most recently available wage data. To break this down further, you’d need to earn about $66,178 per month, or about $15,272 per week, to be in the top 1% of income earners. . .Here’s how much you need to make to be in the top 5% and the top 10% in America: Top 5% income threshold: $352,773 Top 10% income threshold: $148,812 As you can see, earning just under $150,000 puts you in the top 10% of all wage earners in the U.S. This doesn’t put you in the elite class of top 1% earners, but you make more, on average, than 90% of American households.)

— Trump’s Trade School Trojan Horse. Were you viewed as being college material? I was not. Neither of my parents had attended college. My father was only the first of my ancestors to earn a high school diploma. My mother never attended high school. I could not run because I had a bone disease. My eyesight could not be corrected to 20/20. I had partial red/green color blindness. I washed dishes during my junior and senior years and the summer in between. But nevertheless, I took college preparatory courses, got an ACT score of 24, graduated in the upper 20% of my class, and got accepted by UIC. That enabled me to earn a bachelor’s degree, three master’s degrees, six professional certifications, and a professional license.

RAW STORY
— My critics/opponents want cheap labor. According to them I was always grossly overpaid. They remain furious that in today’s dollars, I earned a) $19.37/hour when I was 16, b) $55.850/year when I was 22, c) $68,315/year when I was 23, d) $82,655/year when I was 24, e) $99,069/year when I was 25, f) $112,280/year when I was 29, f) $117,807/year when I was 38, and g) $153,151/year when I was 49. In my defense, I earned a) a job-related bachelor’s degree when I was 21, b) job-related master’s degrees when I was 27, 31, and 48, c) job-related professional certifications when I was 30, 32, 41, 45, 47, and 48, and d) a job-related professional license when I was 32. I should write about my critics/opponents. I would focus on those whose parents a) bought them cars, b) paid their college expenses, and/or c) got them jobs.

— Socialism. If my teachers had been Democrats, that is, if they had been socialists, they would have convinced me that my top priority to advance was not to earn job-related college degrees, professional certifications, or licenses, but instead to be Democrat, to vote for Democrat candidates, to promote the Democrat Party platform, and to help elect Democrat candidates.

— FRONT PAGE TOP OF FOLD WITH PICTURE IN NAPERVILLE SUN: DuPage GOP to launch vote-by-mail pilot program to combat Democratic strides
https://www.chicagotribune.com/2025/06/12/dupage-naperville-republican-democrat-vote-mail/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: To date, significantly more Democratic primary voters are on the county’s permanent vote-by-mail list, DuPage County Chief Deputy Clerk Adam Johnson. As of Wednesday, there was a total of 98,413 voters on the county’s permanent vote-by-mail list, according to Johnson. That number divides into voters who have opted to receive mail-ballots for general elections only and those who have requested to also receive primary ballots, he said. The latter is how the county can glean the partisan divide in its vote-by-mail program as voters must request either a Democratic or Republican primary ballot. Current numbers show that 47,110 Democratic primary voters have signed up for the program compared to 19,525 Republican voters, Johnson said. Those totals have also grown since the 2022 primary election, which was the first in which the permanent vote-by-mail program was offered. In 2022, there were 20,482 Democratic primary voters compared to 8,009 Republican voters.)

— Chicago’s Springfield delegation socks it to the city’s taxpayers with reckless pension bill. Who do you know who is in line to get a pension or is getting a pension? Ever-increasingly, they are demonized, denigrated, and condemned. I got in line for a Civil Service Retirement System (CSRS) pension when I was 18 in 1966. I have been getting a CSRS pension since I was 49 in 1997. In my defense, I paid 7% of my federal salary into the CSRS. In my defense, if my Democrat GAO superiors had not forced me to retire, I might still be working for GAO and paying into the CSRS. Constructively, so far, in today’s dollars, my Democrat GAO superiors have forced CSRS to pay me $1.85 million to stop me from working for GAO.

— If ICE raids persist, there will be ‘nobody’ left to nanny the children and mow the lawns. If there had been as many illegals when I was young as there are now, they would have gotten the jobs that I got. I did yard work, delivered newspapers, washed dishes, cleaned golf shoes, chipped slag, pumped gasoline, etc. My critics/opponents cannot say that. Their parents bought them cars, paid their college expenses, got them jobs, etc. I had to work my way through college. I should write about my critics/opponents.

The following helped me survive: a) I became a Certified Government Financial Manager in 1994, b) I became a Certified Financial Services Auditor in 1996, c) I became a Forensic Accountant in 1997, and d) I earned a master’s degree in financial markets and trading from IIT in 1997.

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.

The CBS News Chicago data analysis reveals a 155% year-over-year increase in 2024 in the number of luxury Lexus vehicles being stolen. More than 400 were taken by thieves — the highest number in more than a decade. Jeeps are also becoming more popular, up 28% in 2024. The 1,700 stolen also represent the most in more than a decade. Dodge models are up 6%. More than 1,500 have been taken – similar to the number stolen in 2013 and 2016. Sport utility vehicle models of Jeeps and Dodges are especially targeted.)

GAO ( https://gopillinois.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/DiersenGAOFifthAmendedComplaint.pdf ), but he did not. By not settling my lawsuit, he promoted patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, religious discrimination, and national origin discrimination in GAO. The Democrats who ran GAO wasted my career and forced me to retire when I was 49 years old in 1997. They flushed down their toilets what I had learned a) working for GAO for almost 18 years, b) working for IRS for almost 9 years, c) passing the CPA and Certified Internal Auditor examinations on my first attempt, d) earning four other job-related professional certifications, and e) earning a job related bachelor’s degree and three job-related master’s degrees.

RIVER BENDER
— Accounting Major Ralph Wideman Delivers Address At Illinois High School Diploma Graduation. Career counseling is very important. My not majoring in accounting at UIC 1966-1968 and at NIU 1969-1970 was a very big career mistake. I erroneously thought that I could not pass the CPA examination. I did not start taking graduate accounting courses until I was 27. 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 until I was 31. I did not take and pass the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt until I was 32. I did not become a licensed CPA until I was 32. By then, the accounting profession saw me as being far too old to have a successful career in accounting. The accounting profession would not have done that if I had been a minority, female, or veteran.

— A recently retired SEC attorney demonizes, denigrates, and condemns Trump. SEE: https://www.barrons.com/articles/trump-doge-sec-retirement-27ea213a When GAO forced me to retire when I was 49 years old in 1997, if I had been a Democrat, minority, female, younger, or veteran, SEC would have immediately offered me a job. I had audited SEC and other federal financial industry regulators for the previous 8 years at the GS-13 Step 4-10 Levels, currently $129,588-$153,151/year. I had just earned a master’s degree in financial markets and trading from IIT. For that matter, IRS would have immediately offered me a job. I had audited IRS’s Criminal Investigation Division for 3 years at the GS-13 Step 1-3 Levels, currently $117,807-$125,675/year. I had worked for IRS 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. I became a Certified Forensic Accountant in 1997, Financial Services Auditor in 1996, Government Financial Manager in 1994, Fraud Examiner in 1990, Internal Auditor in 1981, and Public Accountant in 1979. I became a licensed CPA in 1981. I earned a master’s degree in accounting in 1980 and in business in 1976. – Dave Diersen

To get rid of me, my Democrat Post Office superiors disallowed my sick leave requests in 1968 and 1969 and forced me to resign in 1969. To get rid of me, my Democrat IRS superiors disallowed my travel vouchers in 1974, disallowed my education deductions in 1978, and never promoted me beyond GS-12. To get rid of me, my Democrat GAO superiors a) forced me to take a $23,472 (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS in 1980, b) kept me off audits of IRS for all but 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for GAO, c) delayed my promotions and never promoted me beyond GS-13, d) always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance, and e) forced me to retire when I was 49 in 1997. In my defense, the codes of ethics that I have been under since 1979 prohibit me from holding grudges. I became a CPA in 1979 and a licensed CPA in 1981. I became a Certified Internal Auditor in 1981, Fraud Examiner in 1990, Government Financial Manager in 1994, Financial Services Auditor in 1996, and Forensic Accountant in 1997. – Dave Diersen

THE HILL
— Harvard faces growing calls to tap into its endowment in Trump fight. It won’t be easy. What losses of income have you suffered? In today’s dollars, a) I have suffered a $86,371/year loss of income since 1997, that is $1.85 million, b) my GAO salary was $153,151/year in 1997 and my Civil Service Retirement System pension is only $66,780/year or 56% less, and c) my IRS salary in 1972 was $68,315/year. Further, my Democrat IRS and GAO superiors forced me to suffer a $23,472/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980.

NEW YORK TIMES
— FRONT PAGE TOP OF FOLD WITH GRAPHIC: The Democrats’ problems run deep, nearly everywhere. This is where voters shifted toward President Trump in each of the last three elections. I should write about the ever-increasing Democrat invasion of DuPage County, Milton Township, Wheaton, Wheaton Warrenville School District 200, and my precinct since 1978. Because of that, ever-increasingly, leaders of the DuPage County Republican Central Committee and the Milton Township Republican Organization have moved to the left, that is, they have a) dumped more and more and more planks in the Republican Party platform and b) dumped more and more and more Republican Precinct Committeemen like me who support those planks.

BARRON’S
— A recently retired SEC attorney demonizes, denigrates, and condemns Trump. When GAO forced me to retire when I was 49 years old in 1997, if I had been a Democrat, minority, female, younger, or veteran, SEC would have immediately offered me a job. I had audited SEC and other federal financial industry regulators for the previous 8 years at the GS-13 Step 4-10 Levels, currently $129,588-$153,151/year. I had just earned a master’s degree in financial markets and trading from IIT. For that matter, IRS would have immediately offered me a job. I had audited IRS’s Criminal Investigation Division for 3 years at the GS-13 Step 1-3 Levels, currently $117,807-$125,675/year. I had worked for IRS 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. I became a Certified Forensic Accountant in 1997, Financial Services Auditor in 1996, Government Financial Manager in 1994, Fraud Examiner in 1990, Internal Auditor in 1981, and Public Accountant in 1979. I became a licensed CPA in 1981. I earned a master’s degree in accounting in 1980 and in business in 1976.

— DEI enters stealth mode; building the business case for DEI in accounting firms. The accounting profession would not have written me off as being too old if I had been a minority or a female. I did not start taking graduate accounting courses until I was 27. I did not pass the CPA examination on my first attempt until I was 30. I did not earn a master’s degree in accounting until I was 31. I did not pass the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt until I was 32. I did not become a licensed CPA until I was 32.

CPA JOURNAL
— Why Are Students Not Choosing Accounting? I should have majored in accounting at UIC 1966-1968 and at NIU in 1969 and 1970. I erroneously did not because I was not strong in math and I thought that because of that, I could not pass the CPA examination. But I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979. But by then, because I was not a minority or female, the accounting profession wrote me off as being too old.

The Democrats who ran GAO in 1980, IRS in 1971, and the Post Office in 1966 hired me because they could not find a qualified Democrat, minority, female, younger person, of veteran who would take the job. My qualifications include a) passing the postal employment test and earning a high school diploma in 1966, b) passing the Federal Service Entrance Examination in 1970, c) earning a job-related bachelor’s degree in 1970 and job-related master’s degrees in 1976, 1980, and 1997, d) earning job-related professional certifications in 1979, 1981, 1990, 1994, 1996, and 1997, and e) earning a job-related professional license in 1981.

— Did Harvard reject Donald Trump? Biographer claims it’s at the heart of the feud. Did you apply to Ivy League universities? I did not. According to my critics/opponents, degrees from non-Ivy League universities are worthless, that is, my 1997 IIT degree, my 1980 DePaul degree, my 1976 Loyola degree, and my 1970 NIU degree are worthless. I should write about my critics/opponents. They stress that my ACT score was only 24 and that I only just barely made it into the upper 20% of my high school class.
