— Kelly leans on experience in Illinois’ Democratic Senate primary. Politics is nasty/vicious. When I ran for the open Milton Township Republican Organization Treasurer position in 2004, I stressed my experience. At that time, I was serving as the Illinois Center Right Coalition Treasurer. I had served as the Association of Government Accountants Chicago Chapter Treasurer for 3 years. I was a licensed CPA. I had passed the CPA and Certified Internal Auditor examinations on my first attempt. I had a master’s degree in accounting. I had worked for IRS for almost 9 years and for GAO for almost 18 years. But my opponent had his operatives and his dupes demonize me, denigrate me, and condemn me. He got 69 votes and I got only 13. He blamed me big time for George Ryan’s problems and for Jim Ryan’s loss to Blagojevich. I should write about the aforesaid.

The Senators were Carol Moseley Braun and Paul Simon. The ten Democrat Congressmen included Bobby Rush, Dick Durbin, and Jesse Jackson Jr. The ten Republican Congressmen included Henry Hyde, Dennis Hastert, Ray LaHood, Harris Fawell, and Phil Crane. At that time, I was one of the very few remaining Republican employees in GAO’s Chicago Office and I was the only one who was an active member of a class action lawsuit that charged GAO with reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation.

When I was 40 years old in 1988, I became an active member in a class action lawsuit that charged my GAO superiors with reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation. GAO audits IRS. They had unofficially thrown me off audits of IRS before I was 40 in 1988 because I had complained about their political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination. They had kept me off audits of IRS 1980-1985. They had forced the GAO manager to retire in 1987 who had hired me in 1980 and who had finally been able to assign me to audits of IRS and to promote me in 1986. They had delayed my promotions, had never promoted me beyond GS-13, and had forced me to take a $23,472/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980. Democrats run GAO and IRS. They do not want Republicans to audit IRS.

— Plaintiff optimistic, DOJ interested in case against Illinois elections board
https://www.thecentersquare.com/illinois/article_748c769f-a4b8-463a-b8a1-873b7c66c20a.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A legal case is moving forward against the Illinois State Board of Elections over allegations that the state failed to maintain voter registration lists. Former state Rep. Jeanne Ives, R-Wheaton, said the National Voter Registration Act requires the state to perform list maintenance and remove ineligible voters. U.S. District Court Judge Sara L. Ellis dismissed two plaintiffs from the case last week, but Ives’ group, Breakthrough Ideas, was not dismissed and retains standing as a plaintiff along with Illinois Family Action. The groups filed suit with Judicial Watch attorneys in March of 2024. Ives said it’s obvious that voter lists are not well-maintained in Illinois. “This creates extra costs people should not have to incur and it wastes time as well, not to mention it invites fraud when you do not have cleaned-up voter lists,” Ives told The Center Square. Ives said the dead have voted in Illinois. “I’ve pointed out a couple of dead people that I know casted votes, and there was no adequate explanation for why that occurred. Because they were not cleaned off the voter roll, it invited fraud one way or another. In the state of Illinois, this becomes even more problematic when you have permanent vote by mail,” Ives explained. “So you will have ballots being sent to people that are possibly moved or dead, which makes list maintenance even more important in the state of Illinois.” Ives said 23 Illinois counties with a combined registration list of 980,089 voters reported removing only 100 registrations over a two-year period. “That is an absurdly small number. There is no possible way those counties were conducting a general program that makes an effort to clean up the voter rolls, because only a hundred people died in 23 counties? Nobody believes that, so we know that they’re not doing what they should do,” Ives said. On July 8, the U.S. Department of Justice filed a 15-page statement of interest in the case. “When Illinois voters cast their ballots, they should be confident that their vote is given its due weight, undiluted by ineligible voters,” the statement began. “It is critical to remove ineligible voters from the registration rolls so that elections are conducted fairly, accurately, and without fraud,” said Assistant Attorney General Harmeet K. Dhillon of the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division in a press release regarding the statement of interest. “Under the NVRA, states have the responsibility to conduct a robust program of list maintenance. The Department of Justice will vigorously enforce those requirements to ensure compliance.” Ives said the case could have ramifications across the country. She said it is possible that the DOJ will file its own lawsuit. As for what’s next, Ives said parties were waiting for a written ruling and it’s possible there could be a hearing later this month. Ives said she suspects there could be a settlement in the case.)

— Don Tracy considers governor bid
https://www.politico.com/newsletters/illinois-playbook/2025/07/29/don-tracy-considers-governor-bid-00480953
(FROM THE ARTICLE: 2026 INTRIGUE: A familiar Republican name is eyeing the 2026 governor’s race. Don Tracy, the former chair of the Illinois Republican Party, confirmed to Lee Enterprises’ Brenden Moore that he is actively considering a bid for the state’s top job. “I’m taking a hard look at it,” Tracy told Moore, noting he’s been “making some calls” and that “several people” have urged him to throw his hat into the ring. The potential candidacy comes at a time when the Illinois GOP is in a prolonged wilderness stretch, failing to win a statewide race in nearly a decade. Tracy may be the Republican to change that. He’s a Springfield attorney and businessman with ties to the party’s donor class. And though he stepped down as chair last year, Tracy’s name still carries weight in Republican circles. It wouldn’t be easy. Incumbent Democratic Gov. JB Pritzker, a billionaire with virtually unlimited resources and a finely tuned political operation, announced in June that he will seek a third term. The governor has already signaled an aggressive campaign that focuses on attacking extremism. . .State Sen. Sue Rezin, who serves as deputy Republican leader, is returning to the trail. “After a lot of thought and discussions, I have decided to run for reelection to protect taxpayers’ pocketbooks, strengthen public safety and keep and grow good-paying jobs right here at home in the 38th Senate District,” she said in a statement. Rezin has been serving in the General Assembly since 2010.)

SIMPLY PSYCHOLOGY
— A meritocratic society allows those from lower socioeconomic status to aspire to a higher social class, status, and place in the hierarchy. Meritocracy enabled me to earn a bachelor’s degree, three master’s degrees, six professional certifications, and a professional license even though a) neither of my parents attended college, b) my father was only the first of my ancestors to earn a high school diploma, c) he never earned more than $50,000/year in today’s dollars, d)my mother never attended high school, and e) I had to work my way through college. My critics/opponents vehemently disagree. According to them, I was able to accomplish the aforesaid because I benefitted tremendously from discrimination against those who share their demographics: liberal, Democrat, RINO, minority, female, younger, veteran, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or have ancestors who have not been in America for a long time. I should write about my critics/opponents. I would focus those whose parents had lots of money.

CAPITOL NEWS ILLINOIS
— Federal housing credit expansion could increase affordable rental units in Illinois. What helped you avoid having to pay rent? For me, it was my earning a bachelor’s degree when I was 21, earning an MBA when I was 27, passing the CPA examination on my first attempt when I was 30, earning a master’s degree in accounting when I was 31, and passing the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt and becoming a licensed CPA when I was 32. That enabled me to buy a new town home when I was 24, buy condos when I was 25 and 27, get married and buy a home when I was 29, and have a home built when I was 35.

I would focus on those who have lots of religious, government, political, and/or financial clout in Illinois, DuPage County, Milton Township, Wheaton, Wheaton Warrenville School District 200, and my precinct who have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me lately.

— One Way to Predict Early Career Success. A complex project at a new job can play a pivotal role in how soon you are promoted. My Democrat IRS superiors, supervisors, and coworkers were beyond furious when I got a high-profile developmental assignment when I was 25 years old in 1973. According to them, the assignment should have been given to one of my Democrat coworkers who was minority, female, and/or veteran. My taking graduate evening business courses helped me get the assignment. They were even more furious went I got promoted to GS-12 , currently $99,069/year, because of my performance on the assignment. To punish me, they a) disallowed my travel vouchers and education deductions, b) never promoted me to GS-13, and c) ignored/dismissed/belittled my earning an MBA in 1976 and my passing the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979. To punish the manager who had gotten me the assignment and who had promoted me, they forced him to transfer to Texas.

— Age discrimination and reverse discrimination in the accounting profession. I did not start taking graduate evening accounting courses until I was 27. I did not take and 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 take and pass the Certified Internal Auditor examination and become a licensed CPA until I was 32. Because of that, even though I had almost 9 years’ experience working for IRS and more than a year working for GAO when I was 32, the CPA profession, including IRS and GAO, considered me to be far too old to have a successful career in accounting. The accounting profession would not have done that if I had been a minority or a female.

HAMILTON SPECTATOR
— According to Democrat and RINO leaders, when Whites and men do better than minorities and females, it is because Whites and men discriminate against minorities and females. Of course, that encourages minorities and females to despise/hate Whites and males. Since the 1960s, those above me have given tremendous preference to minorities and to females.

— If you are White and/or male, the less education and/or less money that your parents have and/or had, the more that Affirmative Action and DEI harm you. Neither of my parents attended college. My father was only the first of my ancestors to earn a high school diploma. My mother never attended high school. My father never earned more than $50,000/year in today’s dollars. He almost always worked second jobs to pay the family’s bills. He died suddenly when he was 47 and I was 21. I had to work my way through college. That harmed my GPA. All my potential employers and all my employers were always under tremendous pressure to hire, to retain, and to promote young minorities and young females. Virtually my coworkers who they promoted over me were minorities and/or females who had less work 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. – Dave Diersen

Because I was one of GAO’s few remaining Republican employees, my Democrat GAO superiors used Gingrich GAO budget cuts to waste my career and to force me to retire when I was 49 years old in 1997.

WASHINGTON POST
— Trump administration pauses student loan forgiveness. I did not get a student loan. If you also did not get a student loan, what if you had gotten one? If I had gotten a student loan, I would have gotten better paying jobs because my GPA would have been higher. I spent far too many hours washing dishes and delivering mail instead of studying. Nevertheless, a) I graduated debt-free from NIU when I was 21 years old in 1970 owning a 1969 Dodge Charger SE and b) I earned enough money to buy a new 1972 Corvette in 1971, pay for graduate evening business courses 1972-1976, buy a new town home University Park in 1972, buy condos in downtown Chicago in 1974 and 1976, pay for graduate evening accounting courses 1976-1980, get married and buy a home in Wheaton with my wife in 1978, etc.

BLOOMBERG
— If you are White and/or male, the less education and/or less money that your parents have and/or had, the more that Affirmative Action and DEI harm you. Neither of my parents attended college. My father was only the first of my ancestors to earn a high school diploma. My mother never attended high school. My father never earned more than $50,000/year in today’s dollars. He almost always worked second jobs to pay the family’s bills. He died suddenly when he was 47 and I was 21. I had to work my way through college. That harmed my GPA. All my potential employers and all my employers were always under tremendous pressure to hire, to retain, and to promote young minorities and young females. Virtually my coworkers who they promoted over me were minorities and/or females who had less work 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.

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.

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.

— 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.”

WASHINGTON EXAMINER
— Minnesota says government agencies must ‘justify’ hiring white men. The Democrats who ran GAO in 1980 when I was 31, IRS in 1971 when I was 22, and the Post Office in 1966 when I was 18 hired me because they could not find a qualified Democrat, minority, female, younger person, or veteran who would take the job. Because they have dramatically lowered hiring standards to hire Democrats, minorities, females, and veterans, they not hire me today if I was 31, 22, or 18.

— 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. I would not have become an IRS employee in 1971 if Oldsmobile had not withdrawn a job offer that I had accepted saying that it had just agreed to stop hiring Whites to settle an EEOC complaint.

— Trump ends interest subsidy for Biden’s student loan repayment plan. Nearly 7.7 million people enrolled in the Saving on a Valuable Education plan, which has been tied up in the courts, will see interest start to accrue on their loans Aug. 1. Did you get a student loan? I did not. If I had, my GPA would have been much higher because instead of studying, I spend far too many hours washing dishes and delivering mail to pay for my college expenses. My critic/opponents would stress that I could have worked less hours and drove junkers to/from school and work instead of a 1966 Pontiac Tempest Sprint 1966-1967, a 1968 Oldsmobile 442 1967-1968, and a 1969 Dodge Charger SE 1968-1971.

— Federal workers fear Trump will fire them after court ruling: ‘We are toast.’ Next steps aren’t clear, but the White House says it plans to resume mass government layoffs. While I worked for the Democrats who ran GAO 1980-1997, because of Gingrich budget cuts, I was ever-increasingly toast. 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.)

When I was 49 years old In 1997, I thought that my GAO job was safe, but I WAS WRONG. 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.

MEDIUM
— 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.
