CRAIN’S CHICAGO BUSINESS
— Argonne and Fermi may dodge DOGE budget cuts. GAO’s Chicago office was not able to dodge Gingrich’s GAO budget cuts. My Democrat GAO superiors punished me severely for that. They forced me to retire when I was 49 years old in 1997. Previously, they always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance. They delayed my promotions and never promoted me beyond GS-13. They kept me off audits of IRS for all but 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for GAO. The forced me to take a $23,472 (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980.

Lee’s Restoring Equal Opportunity Act seeks to remove “disparate impact” on minorities in civil rights law, putting equality of opportunity rather than equality of outcome. According to my critics/opponents, when those who have demographics that vote for Republicans do better than those who have demographics that vote for Democrats, it because Republicans discriminate against Democrats. I should write about my critics/opponents.

— Trump has a very inconsistent view of job qualifications. What did you do to qualify yourself for better paying jobs? The Democrats who ran the Post Office in 1966, IRS in 1971, and GAO in 1980 hired me because they could not find a qualified Democrat, minority, female, younger person, or veteran who would take the job. For the Post Office job, I had passed the postal employment examination and earned a high school diploma in 1966. For the IRS job, I had passed the Federal Service Entrance Examination and earned a bachelor’s degree in management in 1970. For the GAO job, I had worked for IRS for almost 9 years, the last 5 1/2 years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 Levels, currently $99,069-$112,280/year, earned an MBA in 1976, passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, and almost completed the requirements for a master’s degree in accounting.

ASSOCIATED PRESS
— Trump administration opens investigation into Minnesota’s affirmative action policy. All my potential employers and all my employers were always under tremendous pressure from Democrat and RINO leaders to hire, to retain, and to promote young minorities and young females. That ever-increasingly rendered worthless a) my 1970 job-related bachelor’s degree, b) my 1976, 1980, and 1997 job-related master’s degrees, c) my 1979, 1981, 1990, 1994, 1996, and 1997 job-related professional certifications, and d) my 1981 job-related professional license. All my minority and/or female coworkers who my Democrat superiors promoted over me were Democrats 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) had no professional license like the one I had. All my White and/or male coworkers who my Democrat superiors promoted over me were Democrats were less qualified than I was and promoted Affirmative Action and DEI big time, that is, they promoted race and gender based preference giving, patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, religious discrimination, and/or national origin discrimination big time.
https://www.yahoo.com/news/trump-administration-opens-investigation-minnesota-222024940.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The Trump administration said Thursday that it has opened an investigation into whether a Minnesota state agency’s newly updated affirmative action policy violates civil rights laws. The Minnesota Department of Human Services’ policy requires supervisors to provide a “hiring justification when seeking to hire a non-underrepresented candidate.” Supervisors who don’t comply can be disciplined, even fired. The Department of Justice said in a statement that the policy “seems to be part of a broader effort by the state to engage in race- and sex-based employment practices in its ‘affirmative action’ objectives.”

FOX BUSINESS
— Retirement gold rush: 32,000 Illinoisans rake in $100K+ in state pensions while state runs huge deficit. The revelation comes as Illinois’ government pension debt nears a record $145 billion. My Civil Service Retirement System (CSRS) pension is only $66,780/year. But my critics/opponents continue to viciously condemn it as being far too generous. In my defense, I stress that I paid 7% of my federal salary into the CSRS and while I worked for the federal government and 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.

I would not have become a postal employee when I was 18 years old in 1966 if my high school friend had not invited me to take the postal employment examination with him earlier that year.

The following helped me survive: a) I had earned an MBA in 1976, b) I had passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, c) I earned a master’s degree in accounting in 1980, d) I passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981, e) I became a licensed CPA in 1981, f) I earned four more professional certifications in 1990, 1994, 1996, and 1997, and g) I earned a master’s degree in financial markets and trading in 1997.

USA TODAY
— FRONT PAGE TOP OF FOLD WITH PICTURE: With new power, Trump will move immediately to lay off federal workers. Arguably, Gingrich’s greatest achievement was gutting GAO.  If he had reformed GAO instead of gutting it, I might still be a GAO employee. For sure, my Democrat GAO superiors could/would not have been able to a) force me to retire when I was 49 years old in 1997, b) always rank me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance, c) keep me off audits of IRS for all but 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for GAO, d) delay my promotions and never promote me beyond GS-13, and  e) force me to take a $23,472/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980.
https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2025/07/09/trump-wins-broad-authority-to-lay-off-federal-workers-without-congress/84520149007/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: President Donald Trump has seized the authority to lay off federal workers and reorganize the federal government in a way that critics say no president has been able to do in more than 100 years. The power, which the Supreme Court gave temporarily in a July 8 order, puts at risk thousands of federal jobs across the country at agencies that collect taxes, provide health care to veterans, and help administer retirement benefits. Labor unions say the cuts fly in the face of established law and decades of tradition, but a senior White House official told USA the layoffs are legal, and the administration intends to immediately reduce the size of government. While the court did not rule on the underlying question of Trump’s ability to enact widespread job cuts, the justices said they were likely to affirm that power.)

I erroneously thought that my job was safe because of Civil Service protections and because I had earned three job-related master’s degrees, six job-related professional certifications, and a job-related professional license. But I caved in and took my Democrat GAO superiors’ forced early retirement “offer.” After I did that, I erroneously hoped that Bush, Hastert, Fitzgerald, and Hyde would come to my defense, but they did not.

— People aren’t leaving bad jobs because the risk of no job is worse. Because of negative federal employee stereotypes, the longer that you are a federal employee, the more difficult/impossible that it is to get a job in the private sector. I became a federal employee when I was 18 years old in 1966. Private sector employers look down on federal employees. Private sectors employers were not interested in me a) when I earned a bachelor’s degree in management in 1970, b) when I earned an MBA in 1976, c) when I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, d) when I earned a master’s degree in accounting in 1980, e) when I passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981, f) when I became a licensed CPA in 1981, g) when I earned four more job-related professional certifications in 1990, 1994, 1996, and 1997, and h) when I earned a master’s degree in financial markets and trading in 1997. Because of Affirmative Action and DEI, my not being a minority, female, younger, or veteran made things even worse. I should write about that.

I should write a book about that. My Democrat GAO superiors used Gingrich’s budget cuts to get rid of the agency’s employees like me who were Republican and conservative, White, male, older, non-veteran, Protestant, German American, and/or had ancestors who had been in America for a long time. They flushed down their toilets what I had learned a) working for GAO for almost 18 years, b) working for IRS for almost 9 years, c) earning master’s degrees in business, accounting, and finance, d) earning professional certifications in accounting, internal auditing, fraud examination, government financial management, financial services auditing, and forensic accounting, and e) earning a CPA license.

My Democrat GAO superiors succeeded in forcing me to retire when I was 49 years old in 1997. They not only knew that would make it impossible for me to find a job appropriate for my work experience, education, professional certifications, and professional license, they intended that.

(FROM THE ARTICLE: A bumpy transition often awaits people who get laid off or take buyouts late in their careers. For many, the line between working years and retirement starts to blur. It is a growing concern for people with jobs in the federal government or at private companies cutting jobs. Economic uncertainty has persisted in recent months, though employers continued to add jobs in June. For older people who want to stay in the workforce, a layoff can be followed by a longer spell of unemployment. It takes nearly 26 weeks, on average, for people ages 55 to 64 to find a job, compared with 19 weeks for people ages 25 to 34, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. People laid off at higher ages are less likely to move into a new field than those who quit, said Kevin Cahill, an economist at FTI Consulting. Ageism and higher compensation expectations can be obstacles to re-employment, he said. Older career workers who find new jobs take an 11% pay cut, on average, according to a forthcoming study Cahill co-wrote. Those who retire might need to break into their savings early. They might miss out on making 401(k) or IRA contributions, never mind the catch-up contributions allowed for those 50 and older.)

I earned a job-related bachelor’s degree in 1970, job-related master’s degrees in 1976, 1980, and 1997, job-related professional certifications in 1979, 1981, 1990, 1994, 1996, and 1997, and a job-related professional license in 1981.

— What Got Cut from the White House Spending Bill That Benefits Federal Employees. Since I was 18 years old in 1966, my critics/opponents have ever-increasingly promoted more and more and more hatred against me for my benefitting from federal employment. They have ever-increasingly demonized me, denigrated me, and condemned me as being overpaid and has being a recipient of benefits that are too generous. They ever-increasingly ignore, dismiss, belittle my having I earned a job-related bachelor’s degree in 1970, job-related master’s degrees in 1976, 1980, and 1997, job-related professional certifications in 1979, 1981, 1990, 1994, 1996, and 1997, and a job-related professional license in 1981.
https://news.clearancejobs.com/2025/07/06/what-got-cut-from-the-white-house-spending-bill-that-benefits-federal-employees/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Notably, the bill does not include any revival of Schedule F, the controversial 2020 executive order aimed at reclassifying civil servants. It also doesn’t authorize reductions-in-force (RIFs) or introduce across-the-board benefit cuts. While civil service reform continues to be debated in policy and political circles, those broader changes remain tied to executive orders—not this legislation.)

— 5 Compromises People Make To Afford a Home. Back in the good old days, I was able to buy a new town home when I was 24 years old in 1972. My IRS salary in today’s dollars had just increased from $55,850/year to $68,315/year. My down payment came from a) my IRS salary for the previous 15 months, b) my part-time Firestone Store salary for the previous 18 months, and c) my full-time Firestone Store salary for 7 months before that. That income had also enabled me to buy a new Corvette in 1971 and to pay for graduate evening business courses at Loyola in 1972. I did not take any vacations in 1972.

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Forgoing All Discretionary Spending  Yes, you can tighten your belt and skip the lattes and lunches out at work. But that doesn’t mean you should make yourself so house-poor that you can’t travel at all or enjoy the occasional small luxury. Melanie Musson, finance expert at Clearsurance.com, sees this all the time among first-time homebuyers. “They often can’t afford to go on vacation or meet up with friends. They may have to give up their weekends and take on a side job,” she said.)

https://www.forbes.com/sites/andrewleahey/2025/06/22/illinois-vehicle-mileage-tax-fix-the-roads-and-fund-the-future/

BUSINESS INSIDER
—  Accounting is a fast track to an upper-middle-class life. My not majoring in accounting at UIC 1966-1968 and at NIU 1969-1970 was a tremendous career mistake. I wrongly thought that I could never pass the CPA examination. Even though I did not start taking graduate evening accounting courses until 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 in 1981. I became a licensed CPA in 1981. But by then, the accounting profession saw me as being far too old to have a successful career in accounting.
https://www.businessinsider.com/cpa-jobs-millennial-accounting-great-career-path-comfortable-life-2024-12
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Accounting classes were actually fun because what I was doing finally made sense. I enjoyed the material and liked my classmates. Since I switched my major after my freshman year, I caught up on the credits I’d need to eventually get a CPA license by taking extra classes over the summer and winter breaks. During my sophomore and junior years, I interned with a tax firm and a CPA firm doing bookkeeping and tax work. The internships were interesting and helpful. At bigger firms, interns might get assigned to scanning client documents and other repetitive tasks, but I worked at smaller firms and was able to see the majority of the tax process from start to finish. After I graduated with a B.S. in accounting in 2017, I took a job with a local CPA firm in Oklahoma City. . .I joined a national firm doing tax work in 2018. I got my CPA license the following year because the company paid for part of my testing fees. Getting a CPA license isn’t mandatory for accountants — I know plenty of accountants without licenses who’ve had successful careers — but it’s still considered the gold standard for accounting and I knew it’d help me move up in my career. Later that year, I job-hopped to another local CPA firm and worked in a client-facing position doing tax and accounting work. In 2021, I got a job with the federal government as an IRS agent. In May 2023, I left the IRS to join a different agency, where I still work, and the following month I launched my own CPA practice. . .Almost every time I job-hopped, I got around a 20% pay bump, a title increase, and a better work-life balance. I feel comfortable and happy with my life.)

FED WEEK
— Have you ever taken a pay cut? I did. I took a $23,472/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO when I was 31 years old in 1980. My Democrat IRS superiors had made it clear that they would never promote me to GS-13, currently $117,807/year, even though I had earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976 and I had passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979. I finally made GS-13 at GAO in 1986, but I would not have if I had not earned a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980, passed the Certified Internal Auditor Examination on my first attempt in 1981, and became a licensed CPA in 1981. I should write about my IRS and GAO coworkers who my Democrat superiors promoted over me. They all were Democrats a) who had less wok 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 who were minority, female, younger than me, and/or veteran.
https://www.fedweek.com/retirement-financial-planning/my-federal-career-was-it-a-good-decision-to-leave-the-private-sector/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: I began my federal career in 1985.  My starting salary with a Master’s Degree was $21,804.  I was taking a 12,000 dollar pay cut to begin my federal career.  This 35 percent salary pay cut was mind-blowing.  My friends and co-workers laughed at me and told me that it was a horrible mistake working for the government especially for such a large pay cut.  My intuition told me that it was not a mistake and I was prepared to take a step backward in order to take a giant step forward.  My vision of a federal career was that I saw growth and opportunity. The hospital continued to suffer with several other mergers and today it has been leveled to an empty parking lot.)

https://wirepoints.org/six-questions-gov-pritzker-should-have-been-asked-during-his-testimony-on-illinois-sanctuary-status-wirepoints/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: 1. How do you justify spending more than $1.5 billion of Illinois taxpayers’ dollars on healthcare for illegal immigrants when Chicago has the highest black poverty rate in the country among the nation’s biggest cities? . . . 2. How do you justify spending hundreds of millions, if not billions, on illegal, non-English-speaking children at Chicago Public Schools when the school district is already junk-rated, faces a billion-dollar deficit and has just 21% of black students able to read at grade level? . . . 3. How can you justify allowing illegals with violent criminal histories to come to our state when Chicago has led the country in total murders for 13 years in a row and had the highest murder rate among the nation’s 20 biggest cities in 2024? . . . 4. How do you justify the billions spent on illegal migrants when Illinoisans already pay the nation’s highest property taxes, the 2nd-highest gas taxes and the highest cell phone taxes. Kiplinger ranks Illinois third in the nation in its list of “least tax-friendly states for middle-class families.” . . . 5. How do you justify burdening Chicagoans with the billions in costs of caring for illegal migrants when the Chicago area is already struggling to grow its economy? The metro area’s real GDP has only grown 4% since you took office, the worst among the nation’s 15 biggest metro areas. . . 6. How do you justify allowing in tens of thousands of illegal migrants who will struggle to find work when Illinois’ unemployment rate was the nation’s 4th-highest in 2024 and Chicago’s black community is struggling with an unemployment rate of 12.3% – the highest among the nation’s 15 biggest cities?)

GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— Democrat and RINO leaders ever-increasingly stress that Americans ever-increasingly fail/refuse to take bad jobs. I did yard work 1962-1964, delivered newspapers 1962-1966, washed dishes 1964-1966, cleaned golf shoes, chipped slag, and pumped gasoline in 1966, delivered mail 1966-1969, worked on an automobile assembly line in 1970, etc.  My critics/opponents did not have to take bad jobs. Their parents bought them cars, paid for their college expenses, and got them jobs. The bad jobs that I had enabled me to a) buy a 1958 Chevrolet Bel Air in 1964, b) buy a new 1966 Pontiac Tempest Sprint in 1966, c) pay for my UIC expenses 1966-1968, d) buy a new 1968 Oldsmobile 442 in 1967, e) buy new 1969 Dodge Charger SE in 1968, f) pay for my NIU expenses 1969-1970, etc. – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com
— What did you do to qualify yourself for better paying jobs? I earned a job-related bachelor’s degree from NIU when I was 21 in 1970. I earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976. I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979. I earned a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980. I passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981. I became a licensed CPA in 1981. I earned four more job-related professional certifications in 1990, 1994, 1996, and 1997. I earned a master’s degree in financial markets and trading from IIT in 1997. – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com
— Who did you have to compete against to get hired and promoted? I did not have to compete directly against illegals. But because of political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, religious discrimination, and national origin discrimination, I had to compete directly against Democrats, minorities, females, younger people, veterans, non-Protestants, non-German Americans, and those whose ancestors had not been in America for a long time. All my coworkers who were promoted over me were many, most, if not virtually all of the aforesaid. They had less work experience than I 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. – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com
— How strongly do your critics/opponents despise/hate Trump?  My critics/opponents have always been anti-Trump, if not Trump-haters. Since 2015, they have demonized me, denigrated me, and condemned me as being a Trump supporter. They had their operatives and their dupes a) gerrymander my precinct in 2015, b) end my role as the Republican fundraiser for Wheaton Independence Day parades and fireworks in 2021, and c) end my membership on the Illinois Republican Party Platform and Resolutions Committee in 2024. They have ever-increasingly discouraged everyone from reading my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters. Of course, they stress that I share so many demographics with Trump: conservative, Republican, White, male, older, married, non-poor, draft avoider, Protestant, German American, and our ancestors have been in America for a long time. – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com
— According to Democrat and RINO leaders, if those who are conservative, Republican, White, male, older, non-poor, non-veteran, Protestant, German American, and/or have ancestors who have been in America for a long time do better than those who are not the aforesaid, it is because they have benefitted from discrimination against those who are not the aforesaid.

Since 2015, they have demonized me, denigrated me, and condemned me as being a Trump supporter. They had their operatives and their dupes a) gerrymander my precinct in 2015, b) end my role as the Republican fundraiser for Wheaton Independence Day parades and fireworks in 2021, and c) end my membership on the Illinois Republican Party Platform and Resolutions Committee in 2024. They have ever-increasingly discouraged everyone from reading my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters. Of course, they stress that I share so many demographics with Trump: conservative, Republican, White, male, older, married, non-poor, draft avoider, Protestant, German American, and our ancestors have been in America for a long time.

NATIONAL REVIEW
— Trump’s New Amnesty Would Cover About Two Million Illegal Immigrants. Trump wants to deport illegal immigrants, but, paradoxically, he doesn’t want certain industries to lose illegal immigrant labor. As a result, DHS recently decided it would not conduct worksite investigations or operations on the agriculture, restaurant, and hotel industries.
