— Former CPD Supt. Larry Snelling Starts Collecting $190K Annual Police Pension. DD: I got in line for a Civil Service Retirement System (CSRS) pension when I was 18 in 1966. While I worked part-time for the Post Office 1966-1969, I got both Social Security credits and full-time CSRS credits. My critics/opponents have always been furious about that. Further, they are furious that since I was 49 in 1997, I have gotten a CSRS pension, currently $68,640/year. So far, in today’s dollars, CSRS has paid me $2 million dollars. Further, they are furious that last year, my Social Security increased from $3,000/year to $19,000/year.

My Democrat superiors in the federal government successfully forced my many anti-conservative anti-Republican Democrat Jewish superiors and supervisors to take many big adverse actions against me. They stressed that I was conservative, Republican, Protestant, German American, a Crete resident 1948-1972, and a Wheaton resident since 1978. My Jewish Post Office superiors a) disallowed my sick leave requests in 1968 and 1969 and b) forced me to resign in 1969. My Jewish IRS superiors a) forced the IRS manager who had promoted me in 1972, 1973, and 1974 to transfer to Dallas, b) disallowed my travel vouchers in 1974, c) disallowed my education deductions in 1978, and d) made it clear that they would never promote me again. My Jewish GAO superiors a) forced me to take a $23.699/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer to GAO in 1980, b) delayed my promotions to GS-11, GS-12, and GS-13, c) made it clear that would never promote me to GS-14, d) kept me off audits of IRS for all but 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for GAO, e) always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for performance, and f) forced me to retire when I was 49 in 1997.

TIME
— Relevant work experience. DD: To force me to take a $23,699/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO when I was 31 in 1980, my Democrat GAO superiors not only ignored/dismissed/belittled my earning an MBA in 1976 and my passing the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, they outrageously/disgustingly/falsely/unethically ignored/dismissed/belittled the fact that GAO audits IRS and treated my almost 9 years of experience working for IRS, the last 5 1/2 years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 Levels, currently $100,059-$113,402/year, as being not only not job related, but worthless. They knew full-well that much of what I did for IRS was very similar to what I would do be doing for GAO. They would not have forced me to take the aforesaid pay cut if I had been a Democrat, minority, female, and/or veteran. They would have offered me a promotion to GS-13 to transfer, currently $118,984/year.

https://www.keranews.org/texas-news/2026-09-15/karl-rove-said-hell-break-30-years-of-only-supporting-republicans-to-vote-against-bigot-bo-french
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Karl Rove, former adviser to President George W. Bush and longtime Texas GOP political consultant, said he will vote for Jon Rosenthal, a Houston Democrat running to serve the Texas Railroad Commission, after Republican Bo French posted racist comments on Sunday about South Asian students at the University of Texas at Austin. Rove made the comments at a members-only lunch event at the Headliners Club in Austin, where he called French a “bigot,” according to three attendees to whom The Texas Tribune has granted anonymity to discuss the conversation. Rove said he has only ever voted for one Democratic candidate, Texas Lt. Gov. Bob Bullock, who was up for reelection in 1994.)

— Should you accept your employer’s invitation to resign rather than be fired? DD: My Democrat Post Office superiors forced me to resign when I was 20 in 1969 falsely saying that I was not going to be available to work enough part-time hours. My Democrat GAO superiors forced me to retire when I was 49 in 1997 saying they would demote me, give me adverse transfers, give me unfair performance expectations, and give me unfair performance appraisals if I did not retire. If I had not taken their early retirement “offer,” I would not have been eligible to take regular retirement until I was 55 in 2003.

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Writing for the majority, Chief Justice John Roberts contended that, if the Trump administration were correct, it “would in effect transform the Federal Reserve’s for-cause protection into at-will employment—an interpretive leap out of step with the statute Congress enacted and our Nation’s tradition of central banking protected from political interference.”

— A prevalent pattern in Gen Z: moving home after graduation. There are a myriad reasons. Most commonly, it makes financial sense to pay discounted or no rent in today’s economy. It’s a decision nearly 60% of Americans between the ages of 18 and 24 are making — or are forced to make — to live with their parents. DD: I lived with and helped support my mother and brother in Crete for 25 months after I graduated from college. My father had died suddenly when he was 47 and I was 21 in October of 1969. He was earning only $75,000/year in today’s dollars. My mother had never attended high school, she had never worked outside the home, and my brother was having problems. I graduated from NIU in August of 1970 and I got a job working for the Firestone Store in Chicago Heights that month. I applied for and I got a financial hardship draft deferment. In 1972, I was able to buy a new townhome in University Park. SEE: https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/774-Sunset-Ct-5-University-Park-IL-60484/5451474_zpid/ . But it had only 1,000 square feet. In today’s dollars, I paid about $180,000 for it and the down payment would have been about $36,000. In today’s dollars, my IRS Revenue Officer salary had just increased from $56,409/year to $68,999/year. The down payment came from what I had earned working for IRS for 15 months and for a Firestone Store part-time for 18 months and full-time for 7 months before that. According to Zillow, the townhome is currently worth $92,300. That says worlds about real estate values in University Park.

— What arguments would socialists use to sell you on socialism? They would argue to me that under socialism, I would be much better off today than I am. They would stress that even though I earned three job-related master’s degrees, six job-related professional licenses, and a job-related professional license, I never made more than $154,682/year in today’s dollars and that my Civil Service Retirement System pension is only $68,640/year. I would respond that if I had been a Democrat, the Democrats who ran the federal government would have promoted me into their Senior Executive Service, currently $197,200/year, long before I was 40 in 1988 and let me work at least until I was eligible for regular retirement when I was 55 in 2003 even though I am not a minority, female, or veteran. All you need to do to advance under socialism is to be a socialist. All you need to do to advance under Democrats is to be a Democrat. – Dave Diersen

(FROM THE ARTICLE: The extremist claimed the drugs, like Ozempic, Wegovy and Mounjaro — which were developed to treat diabetes are credited with lowering the risk of death from heart attack or stroke by 20% in high-risk patients — exist “to sustain a social order in which fat people are monitored, restricted, guilted, stolen from and punished.”)

— America’s Jobs Surge Is Good News for Trump’s Crackdown on Illegal Immigration. It’s no longer so easy for companies to abandon Americans by hiring foreign labor instead.  DD: All my employers would have hired noncitizens instead of me if they could have. My critics/opponents cannot say that because they did not have to take bad jobs like I had to because they had wealthy parents. I should write about my critics/opponents.

— Since 9/11, the Number of Immigrants from the Muslim World Has Grown by 1.8 Million. Population doubling largely reflects legal immigration.
https://cis.org/Camarota/911-Number-Immigrants-Muslim-World-Has-Grown-18-Million
(FROM THE ARTICLE: As the 25th anniversary of the September 11, 2001, attacks approaches, some may wonder if increased vetting or possible distrust of Muslims in the United States caused fewer people from the Islamic world to immigrate here. An analysis of Census Bureau data shows that the immigrant population (also called the foreign-born) from predominantly Muslim countries has more than doubled since 2001.1 Not all immigrants from these countries are Muslims. (The Census Bureau does not ask about religion.) Nevertheless, the data indicate that the U.S. did not fundamentally change immigration policy after September 11th, nor does the desire of many people in the Muslim world to settle here seem to have changed much. As a result, the number of immigrants from these countries has soared. Key Findings: The number of immigrants — including naturalized citizens, legal permanent residents, long-term temporary visitors, and illegal immigrants — from the Muslim world increased from 1.7 million in 2001 to 3.4 million in 2024. This represents the net increase — new arrivals minus emigration and natural mortality. Immigrants from predominantly Muslim countries increased by 103 percent from 2001 to 2024. This is much faster than the growth in the overall foreign-born population (58 percent) and is nearly seven times faster than for the overall U.S.-born population. The decision to admit large numbers of people from Afghanistan after the U.S. withdrawal caused the population of Afghan immigrants to nearly double from 2020 to 2024, but Afghans accounted for only a quarter of the total increase from the Islamic world over this time period. Prior research indicates that 10 to 20 percent of immigrants from majority-Muslim countries may be illegal immigrants — lower than the 25 to 30 percent share for the overall foreign-born. The rapid increase in immigrants from the Islamic world overwhelmingly reflects legal immigration policies. Many top immigrant-sending countries in the Muslim world have hostile relations with the United States or struggle with powerful terrorist movements. From 2001 to 2024, the immigrant population increased by 202,000 (476 percent) for Afghanistan, 201,000 (93 percent) for Pakistan, 119,000 (41 percent) for Iran, 65,000 (109 percent) for Syria, 66,000 (416 percent) for Yemen, and 45,000 (87 percent) for Somalia. In addition to immigrants from majority-Muslim countries, there are 1.9 million U.S.-born individuals with parent(s) from such countries. The total number of immigrants from the Muslim world plus their U.S.-born offspring was 5.4 million in 2024, compared to 2.5 million in 2001 — a 118 percent increase. Assuming that recent trends continue, the number of immigrants from majority-Muslim countries and their U.S.-born offspring will nearly double to 10.4 million by 2050.)

https://www.nytimes.com/2026/09/11/us/politics/trump-republican-convention-influencers-message.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: More than 100 influencers were invited to the midterm convention by members of the Republican National Committee, a committee spokeswoman said. They were given some of the best seats in the arena and special “creator” credentials that granted them access to a list of Republican Party leaders eager to sit for interviews. They recorded content from a special platform directly across from the stage where the president spoke. They partied after hours at an event hosted by TikTok, where they snacked on miniature cheesecakes and an assortment of cake balls. “We got great treatment in 2024,” said Xaviaer DuRousseau, who boasts well over a million followers across Instagram and TikTok, referring to the Republican National Convention two years ago. “But this is even better.” The difficult task facing these dozens of conservative influencers was figuring out how to boost the Republican Party, when the image of prosperity projected from the stage was different from the reality of surging costs.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Tuskegee University’s recent request for “its mostly Black students to stop wearing revealing clothes to class” and “dressing down by wearing durags,” is a welcome bid “to end habits that hurt any Black youngster’s chances for success,” cheers Juan Williams in The Hill. These days, “any call for personal responsibility in Black America gets confused with partisan politics and ideological purity,” but: “Standards are not racist. Discipline is not disrespectful of Black culture.” Note that former President Barack Obama agreed that “too Black men were under the influence of negative stereotypes.” Tuskegee is doing its part to counteract the lie that “ ‘authentic’ Black life” should replicate “jailtime.” Instead of “surrendering to popular stereotypes,” the school is “preparing young people to win.”)

To get rid of me, they got rid of the IRS manager who had promoted me in 1972, 1973, and 1974, disallowed my travel vouchers in 1974, disallowed my education deductions in 1978, and made it clear that they would never promote me to GS-13. When I was 40 in 1988, my Democrat GAO superiors came to realize that I would never become a Democrat. To get rid of me, they threw me off audits of IRS, gave me a very bad job assignment, gave me very unfair performance expectations, gave me a very unfair performance appraisal, ranked me at the bottom of my coworkers for pay-for-performance (PFP), and then always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for PFP. They forced me to retire when I was 49 in 1997. According to them, I held jobs and I got promotions that should have been given to my Democrat coworkers who were minority, female, younger,  and/or veteran.

GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— Too conservative? Since 2000, my critics/opponents have blamed me and have blamed my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters for defeats suffered by Republican candidates on ballots in my DuPage County Milton Township Precinct 59 in Wheaton. They hint/imply/argue/shout at Republican candidates, elected officials, and party leaders that is because I am too conservative, that is, because I promote too many conservative principles and too many planks in the Republican Party platform that they reject. Most commonly, they reject the personal responsibility, traditional marriage and family, right to life, immigration, anti-vice, Second Amendment, and/or equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) planks. They stress the success they have had getting their operatives and their dupes to take adverse actions against me. According to them, the more that I do to help elect Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct, the fewer votes they will get. My more extreme critics/opponents discourage candidates and the Milton Township Republican Organization from giving me candidates’ campaign literature for me to distribute in my precinct. What do you say to my critics/opponents? – Dave Diersen

https://nationalpolice.org/the-national-police-association-investigates-who-was-behind-illinois-laws-targeting-federal-officers/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The National Police Association (NPA) has opened a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) public-records investigation into the origins of the Illinois Bivens Act and the Illinois Court Access, Safety, and Participation Act, laws designed to put the men and women enforcing federal immigration law personally in the crosshairs of lawsuits, punitive damages, and political retribution. The NPA’s FOIA requests are seeking drafts, redlines, legal memoranda, meeting records, emails, text messages, and other communications from the offices of Gov. J.B. Pritzker, State Attorney General Kwame Raoul, and the Illinois Senate. The records sought cover the conception, drafting, promotion, and planned enforcement of the laws, including any and all coordination with immigration organizations, civil-rights groups, legal-aid organizations, outside lawyers, lobbyists, and anti-police organizations. The laws create the authority for illegal aliens and others to sue federal immigration enforcement officers, turning Illinois courts into a venue for illegal aliens and their attorneys to extract money from federal agents. And Illinois lawmakers went further. An officer’s facial covering, identification practices, body-camera use, vehicle license plates, and even crowd-control equipment can become factors in determining punitive damages. Another provision restricts arrests in and around state courthouses and exposes federal officers to an additional $10,000 in statutory damages. The public has the right to know whether politicians in Springfield worked hand-in-glove with anti-law enforcement organizations to build this litigation scheme and whether those organizations expect to profit from the lawsuits the new laws authorize. “It is unacceptable for a state government to declare open season on federal officers because political leaders despise the federal laws those officers were sworn to enforce,” said Eddie Hutchison, President of the National Police Association. “Illinois politicians could not repeal federal immigration law, and they could not abolish ICE, so they appear to have chosen to make the enforcement of federal law as personally financially ruinous as possible,” Hutchison added. If that was the plan, then open the files and name the names: who conceived it, who wrote it, who helped arm it, and who intends to cash in as Illinois turns its courthouses into weapons against federal officers for doing their jobs enforcing America’s immigration laws. The NPA’s individual FOIAs can be viewed here. The National Police Association is a nonprofit organization dedicated to fighting for law enforcement through advocacy, education, and the courts.)

Democrat leaders hint/imply/argue/shout that under Democrats, all you need to do to advance is to be a Democrat. That destroys motivation and meritocracy. None of my Democrat Post Office, IRS, and GAO coworkers came close to doing what I did to advance. I earned a job-related bachelor’s degree. I earned three job-related master’s degrees. I earned six job-related professional certifications. I earned a job-related professional license.

I had earned a job-related bachelor’s degree (management) when I was 21 and job-related master’s degrees (business and accounting) when I was 27 and 31. I had earned job-related professional certifications (accounting and internal auditing) when I was 29 and 32. I had earned a job-related professional license (CPA) when I was 32. But because I was not a Democrat, they did not promote me to GS-12 until I was 25 and to GS-13 until I was 38 and never promoted me to GS-14.

FED MANAGER
— Trump’s Budget Proposes Major Cuts to Federal Retirement System. Specifically, the budget calls for cutting the COLA by 0.5 percent for Civil Service Retirement System (CSRS)  participants of what the typical formula currently allows. DD: My critics/opponents are furious that I get $18,712/year Social Security in addition to a $68,640/year Civil Service Retirement System (CSRS) pension. But I paid into Social Security for 10 years and I paid into CSRS for almost 30 tears.

INSIDE HIGHER EDUCATION
— When Career Advancement Feels Impossible. Many Americans feel stuck professionally and don’t buy in to potential of education to change their career circumstances. DD: What did you do to advance? I earned a bachelor’s degree in management in when I was 21 in 1970. I earned an MBA in 1976. I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979. I earned a master’s degree in accounting in 1980. I passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt and became a licensed CPA in 1981. I earned four more job-elated professional certifications in 1990, 1994, 1996, and 1997. I earned a master’s degree in financial markets and trading in 1997. Nevertheless, notwithstanding all the aforesaid, I never earned more than $154,682/year in today’s dollars. My critics/opponents use that to imply/hint/argue/shout it proves that I am a career failure because I am a very bad person. They know full-well that if I had been a Democrat, minority, female, or veteran, the federal government would have promoted me into its Senior Executive Service long before I was 40 in 1988.

— $34.9M Chicago development provides ‘affordable’ homes. DD: What enabled you to afford your first home? I bought a new townhome in University Park when I was 24 in 1972. SEE: https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/774-Sunset-Ct-5-University-Park-IL-60484/5451474_zpid/ . In today’s dollars, I paid about $180,000 for it and the down payment would have been about $36,000. In today’s dollars, my IRS Revenue Officer salary had just increased from $56,409/year to $68,999/year. The down payment came from what I had earned working for IRS for 15 months and for a Firestone Store part-time for 18 months and full-time for 7 months before that. According to Zillow, the townhome is currently worth $94,600. That says worlds about real estate values in University Park.

They did not believe that my application for a financial hardship draft deferment to help support my mother and brother would be approved. Further, potential employers were under tremendous pressure to hire minorities and females. Consequently, I accepted the only job offer that I got, to be the Retail Sales Manager in a Firestone Store, a job that not really require a college degree. Because my future there was bleak, I accepted a job offer from Oldsmobile in 1971. But Oldsmobile withdrew that offer saying it had just agreed to stop hiring Whites to settle an EEOC complaint. My Firestone Store boss rudely fired me because I had accepted that offer. Because I had to have a job, I accepted a job offer that I got from IRS to be a Revenue Officer. I had taken and passed the Federal Service Entrance Examination while I was a NIU student as a backup because I had been a federal employees for almost 3 years and because federal employees are viewed negatively.
