WHITE HOUSE
— RESTORING EQUALITY OF OPPORTUNITY AND MERITOCRACY

FROM ILLINOIS CENTER-LEFT SOURCES

CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— US Sen. Dick Durbin says he won’t run for sixth term. I remember, as a Republican Precinct Committeeman, distributing campaign literature and getting sign locations in my precinct for Durbin’s Republican opponents Curran in 2020, Oberweis in 2014, Sauerberg in 2008, and Durkin in 2002. Further, I remember, as a Republican Precinct Committeeman, doing that for Duckworth’s opponent Salvi in 2022, for Kirk in 2016 and 2010, and Keyes in 2004. Because they all were statewide races, my critics/opponents had a harder time blaming me and blaming my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters for Republican defeats.

CRAIN’S CHICAGO BUSINESS
— Durbin’s retirement sets off a stampede — and a massive generational shift in Illinois politics
https://www.chicagobusiness.com/politics/dick-durbin-retirement-sets-race-open-seats-illinois
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The GOP appears less poised to field a competitive Senate candidate in what is now a heavily Democratic state, but there has been some discussion about Richard Porter, an attorney who serves as the state’s Republican national committeeman. Also being touted by some Republicans is Rep. Ray LaHood, who represents Peoria and other downstate areas.)

CHICAGO MAGAZINE
— The 10 Pols Who Could Replace Dick Durbin
https://www.chicagomag.com/chicago-magazine/february-2024/the-10-pols-who-could-replace-dick-durbin/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: When U.S. senator Peter Fitzgerald announced his retirement in 2004, 16 candidates ran to succeed him. “Don’t you think it would be cool to be a senator?” one remarked. (Barack Obama, a state senator at the time, won — you might have heard of him.) . . . 5. Darin LaHood
The GOP will run a candidate, too, and LaHood is likely to be it. The last two times an Illinois Republican won a Senate race were 1998 and 2010 — nonpresidential years when a Democrat was in the White House, which seems to indicate that a Joe Biden reelection would help LaHood. (The Democrats also ran weak candidates those years.) Of the three Illinois Republicans in Congress, LaHood, elected to the House in 2015, is the most moderate. He’s from Peoria, which is Middle America personified. “He’s a guy who is politically disciplined and has not alienated the base,” says a conservative activist. “He can appeal to independents, too. He’s not a crazy MAGA.” Democrats would attack LaHood on abortion (he opposes) and voting with Trump on issues such as repealing Obamacare. He needs “to keep the race on economics and the lack of federal leadership, particularly with the border crisis,” the activist says.)

The agency shrank from more than 6,000 employees to less than 3,000 employees. If Gingrich had reformed GAO instead of gutting it, there would be no need for DOGE.

— The Trump administration is resuming collections from student loan borrowers in default. If you had to work your way through college, how would your life have been different if you had not had to do that? My high school, undergraduate, and graduate GPAs would have been higher. Instead of studying, I spent far too many hours washing dishes while I was a Crete-Monee student 1964-1966. My ACT score was only 24. I only just barely made it into the upper 20% of my high school class. Instead of studying, I spent far too many hours a) delivering mail while I was a UIC and NIU student 1966-1969, b) selling tires, automotive services, and major appliances while I was a UIC student in 1971, c) pumping gasoline while I was a Loyola student in 1972, d) collecting delinquent taxes while I was a Loyola and DePaul student 1972-1980, and e) auditing federal agencies while I was a DePaul student in 1980 and an IIT student 1992-1997. Further, my 1979 CPA examination scores would have been higher if I had studied instead of collected delinquent federal taxes. Further, my 1981 Certified Internal Auditor examination scores would have been higher if I had studied instead of audited federal agencies. – Dave Diersen

— If you could do it over again, would you have had the same college major? I would have majored in accounting instead of management. I did not take and pass the CPA examination on my first attempt until I was 30 years old in 1979. By then, the accounting profession considered me to be far too old to have a successful career in accounting. The profession would not have done that if I had been a minority, female, and/or veteran. It is called reverse discrimination and age discrimination. – Dave Diersen

FORTUNE
— Not all degrees are a waste of time and money: These majors will lead to six figure salaries after college. If you could do it over again, would you have had the same major? I would have majored in accounting instead of management. I did not take and pass the CPA examination on my first attempt until I was 30 years old in 1979. By then, the accounting profession considered me to be far too old to have a successful career in accounting. The profession would not have done that if I had been a minority, female, and/or veteran. It is called reverse discrimination and age discrimination.

NPR
— Trump administration is resuming collections from student loan borrowers in default. If you had to work your way through college, how would your life have been different if you had not had to do that? My high school, undergraduate, and graduate GPAs would have been higher. Instead of studying, I spent far too many hours washing dishes while I was a Crete-Monee student 1964-1966. My ACT score was only 24. I only just barely made it into the upper 20% of my high school class. Instead of studying, I spent far too many hours a) delivering mail while I was a UIC and NIU student 1966-1969, b) selling tires, automotive services, and major appliances while I was a UIC student in 1971, c) pumping gasoline while I was a Loyola student in 1972, d) collecting delinquent taxes while I was a Loyola and DePaul student 1972-1980, and e) auditing federal agencies while I was a DePaul student in 1980 and an IIT student 1992-1997. Further, my 1979 CPA examination scores would have been higher if I had studied instead of collected delinquent federal taxes. Further, my 1981 Certified Internal Auditor examination scores would have been higher if I had studied instead of audited federal agencies.

— The Democrat Party exists to destroy Trump and to destroy everyone who voted for him. The more demographics that you share with Trump, the faster that the Democrat Party will destroy you. Trump is conservative, Republican, White, male, older, married, non-poor, non-veteran, Protestant, German American, and his ancestors have been in America for a long time.

Consider concealed carry. – Dave Diersen

— What discrimination have you faced and why? What retaliation have you suffered because you complained? Because I opposed my Democrat federal superiors’ political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination (up-or-out), religious discrimination, and national origin discrimination and because I became an active member in a class action lawsuit that charged them with discrimination in 1988, they disallowed my sick leave requests in 1968 and1969, forced me to resign in 1969, disallowed my travel vouchers in 1974, disallowed my education deductions in 1978, forced me to take a $23,472/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer between agencies in 1980, 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, and forced me retire when I was 49 years old in 1997.

— Supreme Court blocks order requiring Trump administration to reinstate thousands of federal workers. After my Democrat GAO superiors forced me to retire, a low level Democrat GAO Personnel Office employee hinted that he might be able to get me reinstated. But my Democrat GAO superiors had made it clear that if did not retire, they would make the next 6 years until I would be eligible for regular retirement a living hell for me. They promised to demote me and to give me adverse transfers, bad job assignments, unfair performance expectations and evaluations, and even worse things. They could easily do that because GAO was not unionized.

They stress that while I was a union member, my salary increased from $19.37/hour to $112,280/year in today’s dollars. In my defense, during that time, I earned a bachelor’s degree in management from NIU and an MBA from Loyola and I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt.

— Trump administration asks Supreme Court to halt judge’s order to rehire probationary federal workers. After I transferred from IRS to GAO when I was 31 years old in 1980, my Democrat GAO superiors would have fired me if I had not already served my probational period working for IRS 1971-1980. My doing the following helped me survive for almost 18 years working for my Democrat GAO superiors: a) my earning master’s degrees in business, accounting, and finance in 1976, 1980, and 1997, b) my passing the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, c) my passing the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt and becoming a licensed CPA in 1981, and d) earning four more job-related professional certifications in 1990, 1994, 1996, and 1997.

(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.

CENTER SQUARE ILLINOIS
— 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

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.

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.)

WASHINGTON EXAMINER
— Last year, the U.S. government made at least $162 billion in improper payments, according to GAO’s Kristin Kociolek who also told a House oversight subcommittee that the government was defrauded of $233 billion to $521 billion per year between 2018 and 2022. 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.

FEDERAL NEW NETWORK
— What’s wrong with the federal hiring process?  The Democrats who ran GAO in 1980, IRS in 1971, and the Park Forest 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. My qualifications for the Post Office job included my passing the postal employment examination and my earning high school diploma in 1966. My qualifications for the IRS job included my passing the Federal Service Entrance Examination and my earning a job-related bachelor’s degree in 1970. My qualifications for the GAO job included my earning a job-related master’s degree in 1976 and my passing the CPA examination on my first attempt bin 1979.
