— Rahm versus JB in a presidential primary? Bring it on. Big reasons to not support candidates in primary elections include that if the candidates that you support lose primary elections and/or if the candidates who win primary elections lose general elections, far too often, the losing candidates and the following will blame you for their loses: their major donors, fundraisers, political consultants, pollsters, campaign managers, campaign staff members, and campaign volunteers. I should write about the aforesaid. I would cite Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct since 2000.

They destroy those like me who they cannot manipulate or dominate, who refuse to glorify and praise them, who refuse to pander to them, who refuse to serve as one of their operatives or dupes, who refuse to cover up their wrong doing, and/or who refuse to give them money.

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

— 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

— 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. I passed both the CPA and Certified Internal Auditor examinations on my first attempt. Only about 20% who take the examinations can say that. In my defense, those who took the examinations with me shared many if not most of my demographics. That means, to be consistent, that according to Democrat and RINO leaders, I overcame tremendous competition. Further, I became a licensed CPA. Very few CPAs become licensed CPAs. Again, licensed CPAs share many if not most of my demographics. Again, that means, to be consistent, that according to Democrat and RINO leaders, I overcame tremendous competition. – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com
— Who wants you to pay more taxes? My critics/opponents have always wanted me to pay more taxes. They stress that I avoided the Vietnam War draft, that I was a federal employee for almost 30 years including almost 9 years working for IRS, that I paid less federal income tax by itemizing, that my wife had good jobs, that we gave up trying to have children, and that we saved lots for our retirement. I should write about my critics/opponents. – Dave Diersen

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.

— Chicago minimum wage set to increase July 1. Did you ever work for the minimum wage? I did 1964-1966 washing dishes in Chicago Heights while I was a junior and a senior at Crete-Monee High School. With the money that I earned, I bought a new 1966 Pontiac Tempest Sprint, a poor man’s GTO, in May of 1966, and I used it to get to/from my parents’ home in Crete and summer jobs and then classes at UIC and my part-time Park Forest Post Office job. When you were in high school, did your classmates work part-time during the school year and/or full-time during the summers in between like I did? Few of my high school classmates did. There were few good jobs available. I worked far too many hours washing dishes instead of studying. Nevertheless, I took college preparatory classes, I got an ACT score of 24, I got into the upper 20% of my class, and UIC accepted me.

— A recently retired SEC attorney demonizes, denigrates, and condemns Trump. SEE: https://www.barrons.com/articles/trump-doge-sec-retirement-27ea213a When GAO forced me to retire when I was 49 years old in 1997, if I had been a Democrat, minority, female, younger, or veteran, SEC would have immediately offered me a job. I had audited SEC and other federal financial industry regulators for the previous 8 years at the GS-13 Step 4-10 Levels, currently $129,588-$153,151/year. I had just earned a master’s degree in financial markets and trading from IIT. For that matter, IRS would have immediately offered me a job. I had audited IRS’s Criminal Investigation Division for 3 years at the GS-13 Step 1-3 Levels, currently $117,807-$125,675/year. 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. I became a Certified Forensic Accountant in 1997, Financial Services Auditor in 1996, Government Financial Manager in 1994, Fraud Examiner in 1990, Internal Auditor in 1981, and Public Accountant in 1979. I became a licensed CPA in 1981. I earned a master’s degree in accounting in 1980 and in business in 1976. – Dave Diersen

Since I was 19 years old in 1968, my Democrat superiors in the federal government have hinted/implied/argued/shouted that I have a grudge against federal agencies because they took adverse actions against me. To get rid of me, my Democrat Post Office superiors disallowed my sick leave requests in 1968 and 1969 and forced me to resign in 1969. To get rid of me, my Democrat IRS superiors disallowed my travel vouchers in 1974, disallowed my education deductions in 1978, and never promoted me beyond GS-12. To get rid of me, my Democrat GAO superiors a) forced me to take a $23,472 (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS in 1980, b) kept me off audits of IRS for all but 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for GAO, c) delayed my promotions and never promoted me beyond GS-13, d) always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance, and e) forced me to retire when I was 49 in 1997. In my defense, the codes of ethics that I have been under since 1979 prohibit me from holding grudges. I became a CPA in 1979 and a licensed CPA in 1981. I became a Certified Internal Auditor in 1981, Fraud Examiner in 1990, Government Financial Manager in 1994, Financial Services Auditor in 1996, and Forensic Accountant in 1997. – Dave Diersen

BARRON’S
— A recently retired SEC attorney demonizes, denigrates, and condemns Trump. When GAO forced me to retire when I was 49 years old in 1997, if I had been a Democrat, minority, female, younger, or veteran, SEC would have immediately offered me a job. I had audited SEC and other federal financial industry regulators for the previous 8 years at the GS-13 Step 4-10 Levels, currently $129,588-$153,151/year. I had just earned a master’s degree in financial markets and trading from IIT. For that matter, IRS would have immediately offered me a job. I had audited IRS’s Criminal Investigation Division for 3 years at the GS-13 Step 1-3 Levels, currently $117,807-$125,675/year. 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. I became a Certified Forensic Accountant in 1997, Financial Services Auditor in 1996, Government Financial Manager in 1994, Fraud Examiner in 1990, Internal Auditor in 1981, and Public Accountant in 1979. I became a licensed CPA in 1981. I earned a master’s degree in accounting in 1980 and in business in 1976.

I did not start taking graduate accounting courses until I was 27. I did not pass the CPA examination on my first attempt until I was 30. I did not earn a master’s degree in accounting until I was 31. I did not pass the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt until I was 32. I did not become a licensed CPA until I was 32.

CPA JOURNAL
— Why Are Students Not Choosing Accounting? I should have majored in accounting at UIC 1966-1968 and at NIU in 1969 and 1970. I erroneously did not because I was not strong in math and I thought that because of that, I could not pass the CPA examination. But I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979. But by then, because I was not a minority or female, the accounting profession wrote me off as being too old.

— From DEI to Meritocracy: The Federal Government’s Shift in Hiring Practices. 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, of veteran who would take the job. My qualifications include a) passing the postal employment test and earning a high school diploma in 1966, b) passing the Federal Service Entrance Examination in 1970, c) earning a job-related bachelor’s degree in 1970 and job-related master’s degrees in 1976, 1980, and 1997, d) earning job-related professional certifications in 1979, 1981, 1990, 1994, 1996, and 1997, and e) earning a job-related professional license in 1981.

— Democrat leaders hint/imply/argue/shout that Trump has a grudge against Harvard because it rejected him and/or his son. Since I was 19 years old in 1968, my Democrat superiors in the federal government have hinted/implied/argued/shouted that I have a grudge against federal agencies because they took adverse actions against me. To get rid of me, my Democrat Post Office superiors disallowed my sick leave requests in 1968 and 1969 and forced me to resign in 1969. To get rid of me, my Democrat IRS superiors disallowed my travel vouchers in 1974, disallowed my education deductions in 1978, and never promoted me beyond GS-12. To get rid of me, my Democrat GAO superiors a) forced me to take a $23,472 (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS in 1980, b) kept me off audits of IRS for all but 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for GAO, c) delayed my promotions and never promoted me beyond GS-13, d) always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance, and e) forced me to retire when I was 49 in 1997. In my defense, the codes of ethics that I have been under since 1979 prohibit me from holding grudges. I became a CPA in 1979 and a licensed CPA in 1981. I became a Certified Internal Auditor in 1981, Fraud Examiner in 1990, Government Financial Manager in 1994, Financial Services Auditor in 1996, and Forensic Accountant in 1997.

Gingrich was the Speaker while my lawsuit was pending against GAO in in 1998 and 1999 and then Dennis Hastert 1999-2005.

Nixon was President while I worked for the Democrats who ran IRS 1971-1974 and then Ford 1974-1977 and then Carter 1977-1980. Carter was President while I worked for the Democrats who ran GAO in 1980 and 1981 and then Reagan 1981-1989 and then Bush 1989-1993 and then Clinton 1993-1997. Henry Hyde was my Congressman 1978-2007. Peter Fitzgerald was my U.S. Senator 1999-2005. I should write about how each of the aforesaid impacted my career. My Democrat superiors took their biggest adverse actions against me in 1968, 1969, 1974, 1978, 1980, 1989, and 1997-2005. I would focus on Hyde, Gingrich, Fitzgerald, and Hastert. – Dave Diersen

(FROM THE ARTICLE: In the first exercise, soldiers are required to deadlift the maximum weight possible three times, using a 60-pound hex bar and plates. Then, they must complete as many hand-release push-ups as possible in two minutes, completely lowering the body to the ground and extending the arms to the side before starting the next push-up. For the sprint-drag-carry exercise, they must perform 5 x 50-meter shuttles as quickly as possible with a 2 x 40-pound kettlebell and a 90-pound sled. Soldiers must then hold the plank position for as long as possible to assess muscular endurance, before finishing off with a two-mile run on a “generally flat outdoor course.”)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Candida “Connie” Cain on Saturday declared her intent to seek the Democratic nomination in the March 17, 2026 primary for Kane County Treasurer. A Certified Public Account from Gilberts, Cain had worked for current Treasurer Chris Lauzen as Director of Financial Operations from May 2023 until he fired her Nov. 22. In an email, Lauzen, a Republican elected as treasurer in 2022, did not state if he planned to seek a second term. If Lauzen goes for another term, and Cain wins the Democratic nomination, the contest would pit Cain against her former boss in the general election on Nov. 3, 2026. A former Republican, Cain said she has now transitioned to the Democratic Party.)

Since I was 18 years old in 1966, my critics/opponents have viciously demonized me, denigrated me, and condemned me as having been tremendously overpaid by the federal government. In today’s dollars, between 1966 and 1997, my federal pay increased from $19.37/hour to $153,151 /year. In my defense, during that time, a) I earned a job-related bachelor’s degree, b) I earned three job-related master’s degrees, c) I earned six job-related professional certifications, and d) I earned a job-related professional license. I should write about my critics/opponents. I would focus on what they could done, but failed to do, to qualify themselves for better paying jobs.

— I should write a book about Wheaton Independence Day parades since 1978. I would focus on Republican participation in those parades. I would focus on those who are working the hardest to diminish/end Republican participation in this year’s Wheaton and Glen Ellyn parades. They argue that the Milton Township Republican Organization (MTRO) cannot afford the $1,500 cost of entry fees and candy for the parades. In 2007, I succeeded in raising $2,000 on short notice so that an elephant could walk behind U.S. Congressman Peter Roskam in Wheaton’s 2007 parade. SEE: https://gopillinois.com/uncategorized/july-4-evening-edition-2/ I served as the Republican fundraiser for the Wheaton Independence Day parades 2005-2021. In my book, I would focus on those who had their operatives and their dupes end what I did. I have urged MTRO to encourage Republican candidates for U.S. Senate, U.S. Congressional District 3, Illinois statewide offices, Illinois senate, Illinois house, DuPage countywide offices, DuPage County District 4, etc. to participate in this year’s parades. Please join me in urging MTRO to participate in the parades. Please join me in urging Republican candidates to participate in the parades. I certainly hope that LaHood walks in both parades. His father walked in Wheaton’s 2005 parade. I spoke with him before the parade kicked off. Bob Dole walked in Wheaton’s 1996 parade, Jim Ryan in its 2002 parade, and Obama and his wife in its 2004 parade. – Dave Diersen

CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— Will the Illinois GOP show up for the 2026 state elections?
https://www.chicagotribune.com/2025/05/14/opinion-illinois-republican-party-candidates-2026-funding/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: We are in the important pre-primary phase of the 2026 elections in Illinois (circulation of petitions opens in September), when prospective candidates strut their endorsements — and money raised — in efforts to scare off possible opponents. In our basically one-party state, Democratic wannabes are coming off a long bench to make their cases. In contrast, Republicans have no bench of experienced, well-known prospects to speak of. Because of extreme gerrymandering, the GOP has few state legislators and no statewide officials whatsoever. Attractive but no-name candidates are being counseled by Republican insiders that this is a no-win year for the GOP and it’s better to stay out. Will the GOP even show up with a slate of credible candidates for the U.S. Senate, the governorship and all other statewide offices? After all, the party in the White House generally does poorly in the midterm election. And Gov JB Pritzker has more money than Croesus ($3.7 billion, according to Forbes) and seemingly giddy enthusiasm for spending it. Recent history shows he stands ready to bankroll all the Democratic statewide candidates with more than enough money to blow away the opposition. After all, he wants to show national Democrats that he leads his party to victory up and down the line. GOP woes don’t end there. Illinois Republicans are divided into a downstate (outside the seven metro Chicago counties) that is enthusiastically pro-Donald Trump, versus the suburbs, where moderates and Democrats reign. For example, DuPage County and its 920,000 residents used to be largely white and GOP. But the times, they are a’changin’. According to the Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning (CMAP), a language other than English is now spoken at home in nearly one-third of the households in the six counties surrounding Cook. Republican George Ryan won the governorship in 1998 with 70% of the DuPage County vote, whereas Trump garnered 42% of that county’s vote in 2024. GOP nominees for the U.S. Senate and governorship will have to declare their position on Trump, a no-win situation: Come out strongly for Trump and lose the suburbs or come out against Trump and watch voters downstate sit on their hands in November. Be wishy-washy on Trump, and lose votes across the board. And who will bankroll GOP candidates in the face of such dour prospects? Billionaire Ken Griffin has departed Illinois for Florida, with his millions for GOP causes. Make no mistake: Big money has replaced party organization as the engine of candidate success. Lightning does strike, however. In 2004, little-known state Sen. Barack Obama entered a crowded field that sought an open seat in the U.S. Senate. Trailing in the polls throughout in the Democratic primary, Obama surged to victory when, near the end of the primary, the front-runner’s candidacy imploded almost overnight as a result of juicy revelations of messy marital discord. In the general election campaign that followed, the attractive GOP nominee dropped out of the race because of sexual peccadilloes revealed in unsealed divorce records, and Obama skated into the U.S. Senate. The rest, as they say … I expect there will be no-name and, maybe otherwise, very attractive candidates on the ballot next year for the GOP but with little money. I have mentioned money several times in this essay. In the past decade, Pritzker has spent $400 million on his own and associates’ campaigns. A Democrat, he even sabotaged the Republican primary campaign for governor in 2022. In that year, according to this newspaper, Pritzker spent $24 million to boost the nomination of possibly the weakest of his possible opponents for the general election. Pritzker’s money advertised that Darren Bailey was “too extreme” for Illinois — which was, irony definitely intended, an attractive message for a big swath of conservative GOP primary voters. Shameful politics. Big money, corrosive of democracy, could be the overarching issue for Republican candidates in 2026: “You can’t buy my vote! Don’t let JB Pritzker continue to buy elections in Illinois!” Lightning does strike. But you have to show up.)
— 2002 FLASHBACK: Politicians parade for voters at 4th fests. Jim Ryan, the Republican candidate for governor, began his parade marching in Wheaton in DuPage County, the heart of GOP territory in the Chicago area. Ryan looked fresh and cool after stepping out of an air-conditioned van into the boiling morning heat. He and his wife, Marie, joined the procession just as his sweaty supporters, who had been standing in the sun waiting for him, began their way down North Main Street. “All politics is local–never forget your base,” Ryan said. Indeed, blue-and-white Ryan balloons were fastened to lawn chairs, strollers and benches along the parade route. Only an occasional sign for his Democratic rival, Rod Blagojevich, could be spotted. . .. .But political jockeying surely was in play Thursday. An old political tradition holds that the more influence a politician wields, the closer he will be to the front of the parade line. For example, in GOP-laden Wheaton, U.S. Rep. Henry Hyde (R-Ill.) launched the parade, with Ryan right behind him. In third place was Republican Joe Birkett, the DuPage County state’s attorney who is running for Illinois attorney general. His Democratic rival, Lisa Madigan, was placed far back.)

— Before Trump weaponized the IRS to advance his political agenda, there was Nixon. How did Nixon impact you? Nixon was president while I worked for the Democrats a) who ran the Post Office in 1969 and b) who ran IRS 1971-1974. They despised/hated Nixon. They blamed Nixon, and therefore Republicans, for America losing the Vietnam War. They punished me, a draft avoider, to punish Nixon. My Democrat Post Office superiors disallowed my sick leave request and forced me to resign in 1969. My Democrat IRS superiors disallowed my travel vouchers in 1974, they disallowed my education deductions in 1978, and they made it clear that they would never promote me to GS-13. They did the aforesaid even though a) I earned an MBA in 1976, b) I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, and c) I earned a master’s degree in accounting in 1980.
