Obviously, to take back the House and Senate in 2026 and to take back the White House in 2028, the Democrat Party and its mainstream news media have decided a) to move even further to the left, b) to destroy Trump, and c) to destroy everyone who voted for Trump.

— 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.

— 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.”)

https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2025/sep/5/editorial-public-servants-lose-ability-hold-america-hostage/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: President Trump is uprooting the mechanisms Democrats deployed to enhance their political power with taxpayer funds. In a recent presidential memorandum, the president asked Attorney General Pam Bondi to investigate the misuse of federal grants for political purposes. A sophisticated inquiry is required because non-governmental organizations often employ complex structures that launder through subgrantees the ultimate destination of Uncle Sam’s cash. With public sector unions, however, the politicization is overt.)

(FROM THE BRIEFING: Republican Robert Vrankovich. Is running for the district now held by retiring Republican Rep. Amy Grant…Robert Vrankovich, husband, father, successful entrepreneur, and longtime community leader, today announced his campaign for State Representative in the 47th Legislative District. “Illinois is my home, and I will help reverse the course Springfield has set,” Vrankovich said. “It’s time to cut taxes and costs, make our communities safer, and turn Illinois into a business-friendly state where families can thrive.” “Representative Amy Grant has always represented the interests of our community. I am grateful for her years of dedicated service and look forward to continuing to protect the quality of life and shared values that make our neighborhoods such a great place to live and raise a family.” A proven entrepreneur, Vrankovich was the genesis of a start-up propane company 25 years ago, starting with zero customers and building it into a national operation generating more than $110 million annually. Having grown his business from the ground up, he knows firsthand how harmful policies from Springfield can stifle growth, drive up costs, and make life unaffordable for working families. “Springfield is making life unaffordable for families across Illinois,” Vrankovich explained. “The endless taxes and runaway spending are driving families and businesses out of our state. We should be making it easier to start and grow a business in Illinois, but instead, they’ve created one of the most hostile environments for job creators in the country. I’m running to change that.”)

A name change application for a minor born on the same date, June 17, 2002, was approved by a district court in Minnesota in 2020, changing the name of a Robert Westman to Robin Westman, explaining the minor child “identifies as a female and wants her name to reflect that identification.” . . . Frey stressed at a second news conference, “Anybody who is using this as an opportunity to villainize our trans community, or any other community out there, has lost their sense of common humanity. We should not be operating out of a place of hate.”)

— What to know about the shooting at a Minneapolis Catholic school
https://www.chicagotribune.com/2025/08/27/minneapolis-catholic-school-shooting/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara said the shooter — armed with a rifle, shotgun and pistol — approached the side of the church and shot through the windows toward the children inside before dying by suicide. He said the shooter, 23-year-old Robin Westman, did not have an extensive known criminal history, acted alone and had legally purchased the weapons recently. O’Hara said authorities are aware of a video showing writings that the shooter had timed to be released on YouTube. The content has been taken down and is under review as investigators try to determine a motive, the police chief said. Federal officials referred to Westman as transgender, and the mayor decried hatred being directed at “our transgender community.” Westman’s gender identity wasn’t clear. In 2020, a judge approved a petition, signed by Westman’s mother, asking for a name change from Robert to Robin, saying the petitioner “identifies as a female and wants her name to reflect that identification.”)

I was the only GAO Chicago office employee to do that. My Democrat GAO Chicago office superiors immediately threw me off audits of IRS for the rest of my GAO career.

(FROM THE ARTICLE: The county will pay Marquardt & Humes Inc., no more than $94,500 for one year of lobbying work through Sept. 14, 2026. The firm’s lobbying team includes Scott Marquardt, who began his career as a prosecutor in the DuPage state’s attorney’s office, and John “Chip” Humes, who’s also a co-owner of the Humes Funeral Home in Addison. Though the political makeup of the county board has changed over the years, officials continued using Roger C. Marquardt & Co. as a state-level lobbyist. In 2024, Scott Marquardt and Humes solidified their business partnership, forming Marquardt & Humes, according to a firm overview. The county also will pay Raucci & Sullivan Strategies no more than $52,500 for one year of lobbying services through August 2026. Former Republican state Sen. Dave Sullivan is the firm’s president. Marc Poulos, who was a member of Gov. JB Pritzker’s transition team, also is part of the firm. Marquardt & Humes are “continuing our strong advocacy on behalf of DuPage County regarding ongoing transit negotiations,” Humes wrote in a letter to officials in July.)

These Democrat plants and RINOs focus on driving platform Republicans like me out of the party. I should write about them and the adverse actions that they have had their operatives and their dupes take against me since 1999. In 2000, they got one of their own to run against me for RPC.

— It’s not much of a party if there’s only one ruling political party. More than anything else, my critics/opponents blame today’s Illinois GOP problems on Jim Ryan’s loss to Blagojevich in 2002. They blame TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois support for Pat O’Malley in the 2002 GOP Illinois gubernatorial primary for Ryan’s loss to Blagojevich. They blame my serving as a TAPROOT leader in 2002 and they blame my serving as O’Malley’s Milton Township campaign coordinator in 2002.
https://www.news-gazette.com/opinion/columns/jim-dey-its-not-much-of-a-party-if-theres-only-one-ruling-political-party/article_c762518b-3b3e-4218-a1d6-912a1f0eb702.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Whatever happens on the GOP side doesn’t really matter. Illinois is solidly Democratic statewide. That reality has driven credible Republicans to the sidelines, leaving ballot spots to be filled by wannabes who range from unprepared dreamers to outright nuts. Republicans bear most of the responsibility for their current state of affairs. In 1994, when Republican Gov. Jim Edgar ran the state, every statewide office was held by a Republican. Corruption under Edgar’s successor — Gov. George Ryan — laid the groundwork for GOP doom. (Ironically, Ryan’s Democratic successor, Rod Blagojevich, was equally corrupt, but his sickening tenure didn’t hurt his party at all. Neither will that of soon-to-be-federal-prison-inmate Michael Madigan, the longtime Democratic speaker of the Illinois House.) Ryan’s corruption was exacerbated by rancor within GOP ranks — so-called real Republicans condemning evil RINOs — Republicans In Name Only. The fight over who is pure and who gets to decide who is pure has been politically poisonous. As a consequence, the GOP is going nowhere. Making matters even worse, GOP decline combined with ruthless Democratic gerrymandering of state and federal legislative districts has made Illinois a one-party state. The Ds don’t mind that because it serves their political self-interest. But Paul Vallas, a Democrat who has run unsuccessfully for governor and mayor of Chicago, argues that “one-party dominance imposed and perpetuated through aggressive (legislative) map manipulation” is bad both for the party and the public. He said cemented Democratic majorities “reward identity politics and stifle dissenting voices.” As a result of that “unchecked power,” Illinois’ political environment has “moved further left all the time,” in a way that favors “government expansion over economic growth.” He said lack of competition between parties has left the ruling party unaccountable for policy choices that have had bad results. They include stagnating job growth, out-migration from Illinois by higher-income earners looking for a better life elsewhere, and “dozens of tax and fee increases” since 2019 that generated billions in new revenue but did little to solve the state’s financial woes. Not enough people realize it, but Illinois is a mess that will only get messier absent changes as seismic as they are unlikely.)

Pritzker proclaimed the new law “is a national first worth celebrating.” But his Children’s Behavioral Health Transformation Initiative is far likelier to produce more jobs for therapists than better health for pupils. Academic achievement levels in Illinois schools have sharply declined in recent years, but that’s not stopping politicians from further intruding into students’ lives and minds. According to Democrats, if you are not a Democrat, you have mental problems.

According to my critics/opponents, all the jobs that I had a) were bad jobs that they would never have stooped to take and b) were jobs that should have been given to minorities and to females. Virtually all my coworkers who my Democrat superiors in the federal government promoted over me were minorities and/or females a) who had less work experience than I had, b) who had less education than I had, c) who had no professional certifications or fewer than I had, and/or d) who had no professional license like the one I had.

Chicago’s municipal pension is one of the worst-funded pension systems in the nation despite sky-high taxes dedicated to paying into it. Fat pensions such as former Ald. Walter Burnett’s show why. Former Ald. Walter Burnett’s retirement after 30 years on the City Council means retirement pay of $120,608. If, as expected, he gets the job as CEO of the Chicago Housing Authority, he can retire again in three years with a pension paying him $209,976, according to WTTW.
