— If I was still the TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois chairman, the organization would host an event honoring Kirk. I would invite all those who knew Kirk to speak at that event. If I was still an Illinois Center Right Coalition (ICRC) Steering Committee member, I would urge that organization to host a similar event. While I did not know Kirk, I know/knew many who knew Kirk Anti-conservatives would not have been able to destroy TAPROOT in 2012 if I had been able to recruit a conservative slate of officers to run with me, but my fellow conservatives declined. Anti-conservatives would not have been able to destroy ICRC in 2007 if more ICRC members had voted to keep me on ICRC’s Steering Committee. Anti-conservative Republican leaders in Illinois ever-increasingly blamed TAPROOT and George Ryan’s problems and then TAPROOT and ICRC for Jim Ryan’s problems. – Dave Diersen

— According to Democrats, Trump is too old to be President. Starting when I was 25 years old in 1974, according to my Democrat IRS superiors, I was too old to be a GS-13. I finally made GS-13 12 years later when I was 38 years old in 1986. But that was not until after I had a) earned an MBA fin 1976, b) passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, c) transferred to GAO in 1980, d) earned a master’s degree in accounting in 1980, e) passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981, and f) became a licensed CPA in 1981. The Democrats who run the federal government use up-or-out to get rid of their employees who are Republican, White, male. older, and/or non-veteran.

— Kirk’s Home State of Illinois Honors Him at Vigils Drawing Hundreds
https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2025/09/13/charlie-kirks-home-state-of-illinois-honors-him-at-vigils-drawing-hundreds/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: At Illinois State University, where Kirk spoke on April 8 as part of his “American Comeback Tour,” students and supporters placed a memorial on campus at the very spot where he addressed the crowd earlier this year. The tribute included flowers, handwritten notes, American flags, and a Bible open in homage. Nearly a hundred came together at the ISU quad flagpole for a prayer service that included Christian worship songs. The Hanover Township Republicans hosted another service, drawing hundreds who lit candles, prayed, and shared memories of Kirk. In Lemont, where Kirk founded Turning Point USA more than a decade ago, several hundred attendees turned out for a candlelight remembrance led in prayer, with participants singing the national anthem and holding handmade signs reading ‘You will be missed’ and ‘Your legacy will live on.’ Mourners also placed flowers, flags, and photos outside the site of his first office in the town. The ceremonies in Illinois follow a series of memorials held nationwide and abroad after Kirk, 31, was assassinated on September 10 while speaking at Utah Valley University before an audience of about 3,000. Law enforcement arrested 22-year-old Tyler Robinson in connection with the shooting. Communities overseas also honored his life. Hundreds of mourners assembled Friday evening in central London, where Turning Point UK organized a vigil featuring U.S. flags, the Christian hymn Amazing Grace, and candlelight in Parliament Square. Tributes were also reported in Berlin, Madrid, Paris, and Vienna, with Poland’s parliament holding a moment of silence at the request of the Law and Justice party. In the United States, sports teams and institutions held dedications, including moments of silence by the New York Yankees, Chicago Cubs, the NFL, and the Kennedy Center. Trump ordered American flags flown at half-staff until Sunday evening and announced that Kirk would be posthumously awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom. A memorial service is scheduled for Sunday, September 21, at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona, which seats more than 63,000. Kirk is survived by his wife, Erika, and their two children.)

https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2025/09/13/who-is-erika-kirk-wife-of-charlie-kirk/86139481007/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Erika Lane Kirk, 36, had been married to Charlie Kirk since 2021. They wed on May 8 during a ceremony in Scottsdale, Arizona. Before marrying Kirk, the former Erika Frantzve won Miss Arizona USA in 2012. She received her Juris Master’s from Liberty University School of Law in 2019. She also earned her undergraduate degree in Political Science and International Relations at Arizona State University. She also played college basketball at Regis University in Denver. . .Erika Kirk is the CEO and founder of a nonprofit (Everyday Heroes Like You), a ministry project (BIBLEin365) that her bio says “seeks to help individuals engage with the scriptures daily,” and a faith-based clothing brand (PROCLAIM). She’s also the host of the “Midweek Rise Up” podcast, which she describes as a “devotional series focused on Biblical leadership and empowering others to lead with integrity and purpose.” Erika and Charlie Kirk met in 2018 and the two had a “very long dinner,” the conservative activist says in a video shared on Turning Point’s YouTube page. In the same video, Kirk says he knew his wife was the one “immediately.”)

— Trump touts ‘worker-first’ economy. I was a worker 1962-1997. My critics/opponents look down on if not despise workers. They hint/imply/argue/shout that workers cause their own problems. In my defense, while I was a worker, I earned a job-related bachelor’s degree, three job-related master’s degrees, six job-related professional certifications, and a job-related professional license. Because of that, in today’s dollars, my salary increased from $19.37/hour in 1966 to $153,151/year in 1997.

BOSTON GLOBE
— My critics/opponents despise if not hate unions and union members. I was a union member for almost 12 years. They hint/imply/argue/shout that I improperly benefitted from being a union member during that time, that is, that if I had not been a union member, my salary would not have increased from $19.37/hour to $112,280/year in today’s dollars. But during that time, I earned a bachelor’s degree in management in1970. I earned an MBA in 1976. I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979. And I almost completed the requirements for a master’s degree in accounting. I was a union member while I worked for the Democrats who ran the Post Office 1966-1969. I might still be a postal employee if they had disallowed my sick leave requests in 1968 and 1969 and forced me to resign in 1969. I was a union member while I worked for the Democrats who ran IRS 1971-1980. I might still be an IRS employee if they had disallowed my travel vouchers in 1974 and my education deductions in 1978 and refused to promote me beyond GS-12. I should write about my critics/opponents.

I was a wage earner 1964-1997 while I washed dishes, cleaned golf shoes, chipped slag, pumped gasoline, delivered mail, worked on an automobile assembly line, sold tires, automotive services, and major appliances, pumped more gasoline, collected delinquent taxes, and audited federal agencies.

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.

CHAMPAIGN/URBANA NEWS GAZETTE
— 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 recently signed a bill to compel all Illinois schools to offer students mental-health screenings. 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.

They used the article mainly to paint me as being a grossly overpaid draft avoider.

— New DPS policies target students and visitors smelling of marijuana, other ‘distracting’ odors
https://www.wandtv.com/news/education/new-dps-policies-target-students-and-visitors-smelling-of-marijuana-other-distracting-odors/article_3450f262-c6fa-41ce-963a-452589331826.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Ahead of the new school year, Decatur Public Schools updated its district policies to emphasize banning marijuana and other “offensive” odors in its facilities. A DPS flyer said that students who come to school smelling like marijuana or other “distracting” odors will be instructed to call home for a change of clothes, or be picked up to change. Visitors who smell of marijuana or other “distracting” odors will be asked to leave the premises. The district justified the changes by saying that marijuana has an odor that causes/triggers allergic reactions, affecting indoor air quality and putting others at risk of getting sick. The district added that marijuana potentially has cancer-causing chemicals that put students, staff and others at risk. That policy went into effect July 1. According to the DPS 61 student code of conduct and parent handbook, those who use marijuana for medical purposes must provide a medical card upon request.)

— Firing the government’s statically incompetent statisticians. Isn’t it about time? Of course, my Democrat superiors in the federal government hinted/implied/argued that they wasted my career, took adverse actions against me, and forced me to retire because I was incompetent. It is called pretext. But they were frustrated a) by my earning a job-related bachelor’s degree and three job-related master’s degrees, b) by my passing the CPA and Certified Internal Auditor examinations on my first attempt, c) by my earning four more job-related professional certifications, and d) by my earning a job-related professional license.

— Co-living buildings offer ‘attainable luxury’ for Chicago’s young professionals. Back in the good old days, that is, back when I was 25 in 1974, when IRS promoted me to a $99,069/year in today’s dollars job in the Loop, I bought a studio condo in the Outer Drive East Building and I walked to work and to graduate business courses at Loyola. In 1976, when my salary was $105,675/year in today’s dollars, I traded that studio condo in to the building’s developer for a one bedroom condo and I walked to graduate accounting courses at DePaul. I had bought a new town home in University Park in 1972. I lived in it full-time 1972-1974, part-time 1974-1976, and then I rented it out until I sold it in 1984.

— Time for conservatives to kick antisemites out. Many, if not most of my Democrat Chicago office GAO superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates were antisemites. They were furious when I volunteered to work for the office’s leading Jewish GS-15 (currently $163,749-$195,200/year) manager. She put them to shame. She had an MBA from the University of Chicago. She had passed the CPA examination on her first attempt. She was attractive. She was young. She was wealthy. She was demanding. She wanted all her employees to have a graduate degree in finance. I got her appointed to the IIT board of directors for its master’s degree program in financial markets and trading that I completed in 1997. Nevertheless, she played a big role in forcing me to retire when I was 49 in 1997.
