POLITICO ILLINOIS
— After Kirk’s death, safety takes center stage
https://www.politico.com/newsletters/illinois-playbook/2025/09/12/after-kirk-killing-safety-takes-center-stage-00560018
(FROM THE ARTICLE: STAYING SAFE: The shooting death of Charlie Kirk is prompting Illinois politicians and government leaders from both major parties to ramp up security. Republicans and Democrats are rethinking safety — from campaign events to press conferences. The pivot: Congresswoman Delia Ramirez, a Democrat, moved an outdoor press conference indoors on Thursday out of caution. Some members of the Chicago City Council sent a letter Thursday to Police Superintendent Larry Snelling and Chicago Corporation Counsel Mary Richardson-Lowry urging a review of safety protocols. “Over the last eighteen months, the Council Chamber has seen many rancorous meetings, City Council members needing escorts out of the building and protective services because of the subjects discussed and votes taken. Local ward offices have found themselves vandalized with graffiti, guillotine stickers, and more,” the City Council members wrote. Their full letter is here. They emphasized that the council, which has “long been an open, accessible body” to the residents, “must not leave its members’ safety to chance.” And Republicans are also zeroing in on security. James Mendrick, the DuPage County sheriff who’s running in the GOP primary for governor, contacted his opponents to offer advice on how to handle safety as the race intensifies. Dual duty: “I’m running for office, but I’m also the sheriff and have to make sure that everybody’s safe,” Mendrick told your Playbook host about making the unusual move to help opponents. He’s especially worried about “copycat” incidents. Mendrick’s suggestions to his GOP primary foes included moving campaign events indoors for a while, keeping track of who enters an event and having a “spotter” monitor the crowd. Unlikely unity: Aaron Del Mar, who is Darren Bailey’s lieutenant governor running mate, welcomed the outreach. “I don’t like plugging opponents,” he said. “But it’s a good sign for our Illinois Republican ecosystem, so I’ll take that call.” Suiting up: Del Mar spoke before heading out to purchase a bullet-proof vest.)

https://www.1news.co.nz/2025/09/12/charlie-kirks-casket-arrives-in-arizona-aboard-air-force-two/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Charlie Kirk’s casket arrived in his home state of Arizona aboard Air Force Two on Thursday as Vice President JD Vance honored the conservative activist with a final flight. Vance’s wife, Usha, stepped off the plane with Kirk’s widow, Erika. Both women wore black and sunglasses. The vice president was a few steps behind in a dark suit. Air Force Two arrived in Phoenix after a short flight from Salt Lake City, about 64km from Orem, Utah, where Kirk was assassinated while speaking at Utah Valley University. Vance helped carry Kirk’s casket with a group of uniformed service members as it was loaded onto the plane. On Wednesday night, Vance wrote on social media that his relationship with Vance began several years ago after he appeared on Tucker Carlson’s show on Fox News. Kirk reached out to compliment him, “and that moment of kindness began a friendship” Last year, Kirk advocated for Vance to be Donald Trump’s choice for vice president and frequently checked in on his family. Vance described him as “a true friend”. Kirk was co-founder and CEO of the conservative youth organization Turning Point USA, based in Phoenix.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Charlie Kirk’s wife held up a rosary to supporters after she arrived in Arizona following the shooting of her husband in Utah. Erika Kirk was seen departing Air Force Two in Phoenix on Thursday, accompanied by Vice President JD Vance and his wife Usha. Kirk’s casket was transported on the government plane from Utah to Arizona, where his funeral will be held. Kirk, 31, was fatally shot in the neck on Wednesday in front of thousands of people during an event outside the Utah Valley University campus in Orem. He collapsed and was later pronounced dead in hospital. The FBI has released footage of a suspect fleeing from a rooftop following the shooting, before jumping to the ground and escaping on foot.

DAILY SIGNAL
— Conservatives in Blue States: Realistically, What Can They Get Done? I am one of the few remaining conservative activists remaining in Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois. I have served as the GOPUSA Illinois Editor since 2000. I served as the Republican fundraiser for Wheaton Independence Day parades and fireworks 2005-2021. I served as the TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois chairman 2005-2012. I served as the Milton Township Republican Organization webmaster 2008-2010 and 2000-2004. I served as an Illinois Center Right Coalition Steering Committee member 2003-2007. I arranged for an elephant to walk behind Congressman Peter Roskam in Wheaton’s 2007’s Independence Day parade.  Democrat and RINO leaders have had tremendous success using their operatives and their dupes a) to drive conservatives out of Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois and b) to take adverse actions against me. I should write about RINO leaders..
https://www.dailysignal.com/2025/09/10/conservatives-blue-states-what-can-they-get-done/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Illinois  Despite Republicans lacking control of the levers of power in Illinois, the Illinois Freedom Caucus is a fierce group. State Rep. Chris Miller, the husband of the U.S. Rep. Mary Miller, R-Ill., whose Southern Illinois district overlaps with his, is the chairman of the caucus and has few kind words for Democrat Gov. JB Pritzker. “He’s got the worst case of Trump Derangement Syndrome I think that I’ve ever seen exhibited, and the only thing is going to fix this thing is for him to have an ICR,” Chris Miller told The Daily Signal. “I don’t know if you know what that is or not, but it’s an inter-cranial rectal removal. In other words, what we would say down on the farm is, he needs to get his head out of his a– and start governing and doing what’s right for the people of Illinois.” As in Maryland, Illinois Freedom Caucus members are keenly focused on messaging what they view as failures of the Democrat-dominated state government. Illinois Republican state Rep. Blaine Wilhour told The Daily Signal that spreading the word about Democrat policies and Republican shortcomings is at the center of his work. “It’s all about accountability. We’re governed terribly, led by Republicans as well that don’t stand up for our values,” said Wilhour, adding: When conservatives don’t push back on terrible policies that inflict harm, both socially and economically, then that window moves all the time. And that’s what happens in states like Illinois. That’s how you get governed so liberally in states that aren’t crazy and liberal like that. It’s because good Republicans, good conservatives don’t push back. He accused members of his own party of not sufficiently standing up to the Democrats, saying, “We got Republicans in Illinois that think it’s all right to vote for tax increases, both on the income side and on the gas tax side. They vote for Big Government, which is increasing property taxes exponentially … . These people need accountability.” Roth praised the work of these blue state Freedom Caucus members, saying that some blue state Republicans “know that they have no power, so they are willing to take the crumbs that the Democrats give them. So, if Maryland or Illinois passed a huge, irresponsible budget, they won’t make a lot of noise about it.” Freedom Caucus members, Roth said, “will not only vote no, but they’ll tell everybody that they’re doing it to the point where those non-Freedom Caucus members are getting calls from their voters … . So, not only are we fighting the Democrats, but we’re exposing weak-kneed Republicans.”)

I know/knew many people who knew Kirk.

The more that you rely on the Democrat mainstream news media, the more that you will become anti-conservative, anti-Republican, anti-American, anti-White, anti-male, anti-older people, anti-heterosexual, anti-traditional marriage and family, anti-those who have more money than you, anti-Protestant, anti-German American, and/or anti-those whose ancestors have been in America longer than your ancestors.

Ever-increasingly, the Democrat mainstream news media hints/implies/argues/shouts that Trump caused Kirk’s assassination.

ILLINOIS GOP
— ILGOP Responds to Pritzker’s Vile Comments on Charlie Kirk. On Wednesday, immediately following the assassination of Charlie Kirk, Governor Pritzker doubled down on the violent political rhetoric the left is known for, and blamed President Trump for the despicable, violent act that occurred in Utah. Speaking to reporters, Pritzker said that, “there are people who are fomenting it in this country. I think the president’s rhetoric often foments it.” ILGOP Chair Kathy Salvi released the following statement: “JB Pritzker is a despicable human being for using this tragedy to take political shots and launch his campaign for president. Not only are these comments dangerous and unacceptable, but Pritzker seemingly ignores the fact that left-wing shooters attempted to assassinate President Trump during the 2024 campaign. Political violence has no place in this country and the ILGOP continues to pray for Charlie Kirk’s family.” Don’t Forget: in April, Pritzker stoked a New Hampshire crowd in calling for political violence.

— Friends worried about Charlie Kirk’s safety
https://www.politico.com/newsletters/illinois-playbook/2025/09/11/friends-worried-about-charlie-kirks-safety-00557077
(FROM THE ARTICLE: THE ASSASSINATION of Charlie Kirk — the Wheeling native who rose from Illinois politics to become one of Donald Trump’s closest conservative allies — is reverberating through the state’s political circles, with friends saying they had feared for his well-being. “Those of us who love and care about Charlie have been worried about his safety,” Illinois businessman Gary Rabine said in a text statement. Rabine was an early backer of Turning Point USA, which Kirk cofounded in 2012 to bring conservative ideas to college campuses. “I have watched him over the past 13 years become the greatest leader behind positive change in our college universities and our country,” said Rabine, who ran for governor in 2022. “Terrible tragedy,” said former Gov. Bruce Rauner, another early donor to Turning Point noting Kirk was part of his 2014 rise to Springfield. Rauner described the young activist as “bright, talented and charismatic.” What we know: Kirk, 31, was killed by a single gunshot during a speaking event at Utah Valley University in the conservative town of Orem, about 40 miles south of Salt Lake City. No one is yet in custody, according to The Associated Press. He leaves behind a wife and two young children. Congressman Darin LaHood, a Republican, called the murder “a heinous act of political violence that has become too common in our country. Charlie did not deserve to die because of his ideological views.” Though they rarely saw eye to eye, Gov. JB Pritzker condemned the shooting and drew a wider lesson. “We’ve seen other political violence occur in other states, and it’s got to stop. There are people who are fomenting it in this country,” Pritzker told reporters upon first hearing of the shooting. He pointed to Trump’s pardons of Jan. 6 protesters as having “tripped a new era of political violence.” Trump himself broke the news, posting on Truth Social: “The Great, and even Legendary, Charlie Kirk, is dead. No one understood or had the Heart of the Youth in the United States of America better than Charlie. He was loved and admired by ALL, especially me, and now, he is no longer with us. Melania and my Sympathies go out to his beautiful wife Erika, and family. Charlie, we love you!” Later, Trump signaled his anger, blaming the media and “radical left” in a video address from the Oval Office. Kirk got to know Trump while handling social media during his 2016 presidential. From there, he built a national profile as a sharp-tongued defender of the president and his MAGA movement — and a fixture on the conservative speaking circuit. But it was Illinois where Kirk got his political start. He worked on Rauner’s 2014 campaign for governor. In his book, Kirk wrote that he and Turning Point members “barnstormed the state and mobilized students in every county to help Bruce defeat the Chicago political machine.” Illinois GOP Chair Kathy Salvi issued a statement saying, “Charlie’s work for Republicans in Illinois and across the country was invaluable.” And the Illinois Freedom Caucus echoed that, adding, “We are devastated and horrified by the news.”)

DAILY MAIL
— Left-wing social media ideologues celebrate the death of Charlie Kirk and say he ‘deserved’ to be shot
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-15086259/Disgusting-comments-left-wing-lunatics-Charlie-Kirk.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Left-wing social media fanatics have celebrated influencer Charlie Kirk’s murder –  with some comparing him to Adolf Hitler and even suggesting he ‘deserved’ his fate.  Kirk, the chief executive and co-founder of the conservative youth organization Turning Point USA, was shot dead at an event at a Utah college yesterday. The killing of Donald Trump’s ally is the latest example of political violence in the US spanning a range of political ideologies and affecting both major political parties. But left-leaning ideologues made light of it, with one writing: ‘I’m not saying Charlie Kirk deserved to be shot, but I think enablers to pedophiles should be shot, too.’ Some TikTokers also reacted casually to Kirk’s death, with one mock crying while a dramatic song played, with the caption: ‘Charlie Kirk got s**t? Awwww.’ Another liberal posted: ‘Hitler giving Charlie Kirk a tour in hell’, adding a GIF from a TV show. Another called Kirk ‘a f***ing Nazi. And you know what kind of Nazi is the best Nazi? A dead one. Thank God that s***stain of a person is no longer in this world’.  Others mocked Kirk’s steadfast commitment to open debate and exchange of ideas: ‘Why didn’t Charlie Kirk just debate the bullet? he would have easily deflected.’ Many unearthed clips of Mr. Kirk defending incidents of gun violence as ‘unfortunately’ worth maintaining the 2nd Amendment of the US Constitution.)

ILLINOIS GOP

— Statement From ILGOP On Charlie Kirk: Following the assassination of Charlie Kirk today, ILGOP Chair Kathy Salvi released the following statement: “Our hearts are broken over the tragic death of Charlie Kirk. Charlie’s work for Republicans in Illinois and across the country was invaluable. Charlie gave an important and unique voice to young people across the country and engaged in thoughtful, open, and honest dialogue that our country desperately needs. “Political violence has no place in this country and we continue to pray for Charlie’s family.”

DUPAGE GOP

— Statement on Charlie Kirk Assassination: We are horrified by Charlie Kirk’s murder. Kirk has been a remarkable talent and role model for millions of young people across America. The enormous impact Charlie Kirk has made on our country cannot be understated. His tremendous impact will be lasting. The hate and intolerance that led to Charlie’s shooting needs to end. It’s incredible that we’ve reached a point in America that you have to consider one’s personal safety before entering into politics. Intimidation, bullying, and threats – whether overt or veiled – need to end. You do not truly have a free society if people are left afraid to openly express themselves. We cannot thank Charlie enough for his great work and devotion to our country. He was a true patriot. God bless Charlie Kirk and his family during this terrible time.

Their fight was never about freedom to pee next to the gender of your choice, but to indoctrinate the masses who would then forfeit enough power to make a difference. We see this struggle over and over in capitols across the United States. Sometimes the evidence is obvious, with drag queens reading stories of a misgendered crayon that finds its true identity with the help of a friend. (Grooming, anyone?)

— Court rules Lisa Cook can remain a Fed governor for now while fighting Trump’s attempt to fire her “for cause.” The judges and justices in Diersen v. GAO ( https://gopillinois.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/DiersenGAOFifthAmendedComplaint.pdf ) gave the Democrats who run the federal government the power to force their employees to retire, that is, the power to fire their employees, if they fight their political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, religious discrimination, and/or national origin discrimination like I did. Of course, my Democrat GAO. IRS, and Post Office superiors hinted/implied that they wasted my career, took adverse actions against me, and forced me to retire “for cause.” My Democrat GAO superiors a) always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance, b) delayed my promotions and never promoted me beyond GS-13, c) kept me off audits of IRS for all but 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for them, and d) forced me to take a $23,472/year (21%) pay cut to transfer from IRS in 1980. My Democrat IRS superiors never promoted me beyond GS-12, disallowed my education deductions in 1978, and disallowed my travel vouchers in 1974. My Democrat Post Office superiors forced me to resign in 1969 and disallowed my sick leave requests in 1969 and 1968.

DUCKWORTH
— Democrat leaders ever-increasingly promote student loans. If I had gotten a student loan instead of working my way through college, my GPA would have been higher. That would have helped me get a better paying job when I graduated debt-free in 1970. I did not get a job that required a bachelor’s degree until 1971 and it paid only $55,850/year in today’s dollars. But my salary increased to $68,315/year, $82,655/year, and $99,069/year in today’s dollars when I got promoted in 1972, 1973, and 1974. That enabled me to a) buy a new 1972 Corvette in 1971, b) pay for graduate evening courses starting in 1972, c) buy a new town home in University Park in 1972, d) buy condos in downtown Chicago in 1974 and 1976, and e) get married and buy a home in Wheaton and buy two new cars in 1978.

NEW YORK POST
— No wonder there is fear of a population crisis — young men and women are wildly out of sync on family values. What made you “marriage material?” When I got married when I was 29 years old in 1978, a) I was earning $108,978/year in today’s dollars working for IRS, b) I had earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976, c) I was taking graduate evening accounting courses at DePaul, d) I owned a one bedroom condo in the Outer Drive East building, e) I owned and rented out a town home in University Park, and f) I owned a 1972 Corvette and a 1962 Chevrolet Bel Air.

BIZ PC REVIEW
— Hyundai plant raid was a part of something much worse. Pooler today, your municipality tomorrow?
https://www.bizpacreview.com/2025/09/09/hyundai-plant-raid-was-a-part-of-something-much-worse-1583446/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A story published by the Wall Street Journal on Sunday revealed how the illegals were, in fact, part of a quickly growing community of South Koreans who’ve been taking over the Georgia suburb of Pooler. “The population shot up 22% between just 2020 and 2024, according to census estimates, to around 31,000,” the Journal noted. “Demographic data lags behind, but community leaders estimate half of that growth has come from Koreans. “Suddenly, the single Korean restaurant in town had to compete with around half a dozen others. The newly opened Costco, locals said, started carrying Kimchi, dried seaweed, and mandu dumplings. New homes sprang up by the dozens, and Korean families moved into planned neighborhoods with streets named Blue Moon Crossing and Harvest Hill,” the Journal’s reporting continued. Here’s the key: “Many of the newcomers worked at the factory.” As in the same factory where hundreds of Korean immigrants were found to have immigration violations last Friday, to the point that most of them were outright illegal aliens. Days later, on Sunday, the South Korean government announced it’d be repatriating most of the factory workers. Not every South Korean in the community is an illegal alien. The Journal noted that the legal ones were not happy with the illegal workers for bringing undue scrutiny on them. “We were doing great until that incident happened,” citizen Robin Kim said. “Now, there’s a risk that people will make assumptions or generalize unfairly.” . . . Zeigler told the Journal that 65 union members were hired by the factory for some brief work and then let go several months ago, only to be permanently replaced by the South Koreans. “We went out there and did a great job, no fatalities, no injuries, and then we just got replaced by the undocumented workers,” he said. “It was a kick in the knee.” Tori Branum, who’s reportedly running in a Republican primary for a Georgia congressional seat, questions the $5.5 billion manufacturing deal with Hyundai that Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp signed in 2022. The deal purported to give Hyundai $2 million in tax breaks in exchange for an economic boost to Georgia’s Savannah region. “We gave tax cuts for jobs for Georgians that never happened,” she said. Critics say all this points to a system that is being unfairly used to benefit foreigners at the expense of American citizens. “Americans are being taxed to subsidize foreigners from all over the world moving directly into their own neighborhoods to compete for jobs with their children and grandchildren,” one critic tweeted. “Our ancestors fought a revolution over less.” “Americans have just been subsidizing a new foreign-born enclave in a red state, led by a foreign corporation and American politicians,” another critic accurately pointed out.)

POLITICO
— Judge blocks Trump’s bid to fire Lisa Cook from Federal Reserve board. Federal law gives Trump the power to fire members of the Federal Reserve Board of Governors “for cause,” which typically means serious misconduct or malfeasance on the job. The judges and justices in Diersen v. GAO ( https://gopillinois.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/DiersenGAOFifthAmendedComplaint.pdf ) gave the Democrats who run the federal government the power to force their employees to retire, that is, the power to fire their employees, if they fight their political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, religious discrimination, and/or national origin discrimination like I did. Of course, my Democrat GAO. IRS, and Post Office superiors hinted/implied that they wasted my career, took adverse actions against me, and forced me to retire “for cause.” My Democrat GAO superiors a) always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance, b) delayed my promotions and never promoted me beyond GS-13, c) kept me off audits of IRS for all but 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for them, and d) forced me to take a $23,472/year (21%) pay cut to transfer from IRS in 1980. My Democrat IRS superiors never promoted me beyond GS-12, disallowed my education deductions in 1978, and disallowed my travel vouchers in 1974. My Democrat Post Office superiors forced me to resign in 1969 and disallowed my sick leave requests in 1969 and 1968.

STATELINE
— A new, temporary security fence erected around the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois on Friday has drawn attention amid reports that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents are deploying soon to the Chicago area.
https://www.mystateline.com/news/ice-rockford-courthouse-security-fence/

CAPITOL FAX
— Illinois Republican State Central Committeeperson Jeanne Ives, who lives in Wheaton: THESE PEOPLE HAVE LOST THEIR MINDS!  First, Wheaton is not a hotspot for illegals to reside. Even though we are the home of World Relief, that organization brings in bona fide refugees who have been vetted. Yes, Wheaton has several progressive Christian organizations that have bought into the “No one is Illegal” mantra, but there is not a lot of low-income housing or jobs available in the city. Second, Wheaton is one of the safest cities in Illinois precisely because our laws are enforced. These ingrates don’t appreciate that they are literally demanding that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement not enforce our national laws. It’s either that, or they think ICE is wrongly enforcing the laws. Which is it, organizers? And what exactly does “Harm to One is Harm to All” mean? Maybe the organizers should ask if the harm – murder of Katie Abraham and her friend Chloe Polzin – by an illegal alien in Champaign means harm to all. Why aren’t they focused on that? Or the harm illegals do by just simply flaunting our laws and expecting us to pick up the tab for everything. This particular rally in Wheaton, though, is just trying to get the Democrats riled up in the suburbs for political gain. They are looking to piggyback on all the attention Chicago is receiving about the threat of heightened ICE enforcement and possibly the National Guard coming to patrol the streets of the City. Ms. Ives is widely rumored to be on the short-list of potential running mates for Republican gubernatorial candidate Ted Dabrowski.

— FRONT PAGE TOP OF FOLD: Student enrollment at Illinois’ regional universities is plummeting. Under the Democrats and under the RINOs, demographics trump everything. I earned a) a bachelor’s degree when I was 21, b) master’s degrees when I was 27, 31, and 48, c) professional certifications when I was 30, 32, 41, 45, 46, and 48, and d) a professional license when I was 32  I spent a tremendous amount of time and money doing the aforesaid. But could I find the motivation to do the aforesaid if I was young today? From what I see, fewer and fewer and fewer of those share demographics seek college degrees, professional certifications, and professional licenses. From what I see, it is because of ever-increasing Affirmative Action and DEI, that is, it is because of ever-increasing race and gender based preference giving, patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, religious discrimination, and national origin discrimination. Young people with my demographics ever-increasingly believe that it is not only not worth the effort, but that it is impossible. From what I see, ever-increasingly, America is up-or-out for those who share my demographics. If you share my demographics, you are written off and gotten rid of if you are not making say $150,000+/year by age 25, $200,000+/year by age 30, $250,000+/year by age 35, $400,000+/year by age 40, etc. In the federal government, the earnings deadlines are $117,807 by age 25, $139,211 by age 30, $163,749 by age 35, and $195,200 by age 40. Extremely few of those who share my demographics are able to meet those earnings deadlines. Because of my demographics and because I did not make any of the aforesaid earnings deadlines, my Democrat superiors in the federal government wasted my career and got rid of me.

— OMB Director Russell Vought says GAO ‘shouldn’t exist’ because of its partisanship. If Gingrich had reformed GAO during the 1980s and 1990s instead of gutting it, there would be no need for DOGE. Democrats run GAO and IRS. They do not want Republicans to audit IRS. The way GAO treated me proves its partisanship. GAO forced me to retire when I was 49 years old in 1997. GAO always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance. GAO delayed my promotions and never promoted me beyond GS-13. GAO kept me off audits of IRS for all by 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for it. GAO forced me to take a $23,472/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS in 1980. My Democrat GAO superiors flushed down their toilets what I had learned a) earning master’s degrees in business, accounting, and finance, b) passing the CPA and Certified Internal Auditor examinations on my first attempt, c) becoming a licensed CPA, d) becoming a certified fraud examiner, government financial manager, financial services auditor, and forensic accountant, and e) working for IRS for almost 9 years.  GAO would not have taken the aforesaid adverse actions against me if I had been a Democrat, minority, female, younger, or veteran. – Dave Diersen

— 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, or veteran who would take the job. I qualified myself for the Post Office job by passing the postal employment test and by earning a high school diploma. I qualified myself for the IRS job by passing the Federal Service Entrance Examination and by earning a bachelor’s degree in business. I qualified myself for the GAO job by earning an MBA, by passing the CPA examination on my first attempt, by almost completing the requirements for a master’s degree in accounting, and by working for IRS for almost 9 years. To hire, retain, and promote more Democrats, minorities, females, younger people, and veterans, the Democrats who run the federal government have ever-increasingly lowered hiring, retention, and promotion requirements. That ever-increasingly rendered worthless my three job-related master’s degrees, my six job-related professional certifications, and my job-related professional license.  All my coworkers who my Democrat superiors promoted over me were Democrats a) 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 and/or b) who were minority, female, younger than me, and/or veteran. The aforesaid is political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination. – Dave Diersen

— What are your biggest career mistakes? My biggest career mistake was not majoring in accounting at UIC 1966-1968 and at NIU in 1969-1970. I erroneously thought I could never pass the CPA examination. But I did pass the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979 after I had a) worked for IRS since 1971, b) taken graduate evening accounting courses at DePaul since 1976, and c) then the Becker CPA review course. I went on a) to earn a master’s degree in accounting in 1980 and b) to pass the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt and to become a licensed CPA in 1981. But by then, my employer, GAO, and the accounting profession considered me to be too old to have a successful career in accounting. GAO and the accounting profession would not have done that if I had been a Democrat, minority, female, or veteran. – Dave Diersen

(FROM THE ARTICLE: The director of the Office of Management and Budget, Russell Vought, said Wednesday that the Government Accountability Office (GAO) should not exist. “We’re not big fans of GAO. They are a quasi-legislative independent entity and something that shouldn’t exist,” Vought said while addressing attendees at the National Conservatism Conference in Washington, D.C., as multiple news outlets reported. President Trump’s administration and some Republicans have long accused the GAO, which was created in 1921, of partisanship. . .The GAO is led by a comptroller general, who is appointed by the president and can be removed by Congress. Gene Dodaro is the current head of the GAO, serving in the role since late 2010. The terms are limited to 15 years. Dodaro said that “clearly Russell Vought does not value transparency and accountability.”)
