Their illegals are their soldiers in their Democrat Army. How many illegals do Democrat leaders have in Illinois and in your county, township, municipality, school district, and precinct?

— Can Republicans win back voters in Chicago’s suburbs? DD: Political parties exist to help elect candidates who can and will defend and advance their platform. The Republican Party platform is conservative. Democrat candidates get more and more and more votes in Chicago suburbs a) because more and more and more Democrats move to Chicago suburbs to escape Democrat poverty and crime and to hypocritically take advantage of the prosperity and safety that conservative Republicans created in Chicago suburbs and b) because anti-conservative/RINO/Democrat Lite/Democrat plant candidates, elected officials, and party leaders ever-increasingly fail/refuse to defend, let alone advance, the Republican Party platform.

— Survey: Fewer than half of Democrats proud to be US citizens. In contrast, 93 percent of Republican respondents said they are generally “very proud” or “proud” of being American. Only 7 percent of GOP respondents said they are generally “not too proud” or “not proud at all” of being American. DD: My critics/opponents are not proud to being Americans because Americans citizens elected Trump and because they blame Trump for all problems, and especially for all problems that those who are the following have: liberal/moderate, Democrat, RINO, minority, female, younger, poor, veteran, unmarried, non-Protestant, non-German American, have ancestors who have not been in America for a long time, and/or noncitizen.

— During a Fox News interview, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt suggested that young Americans who frequently complain about life in the U.S. should be sent to Cuba or Iran to gain perspective. She argued that many in Gen Z have grown up with ‘silver spoons’ and without the work ethic she associates with traditional American values. The comment, paired with her criticism of entitlement, quickly went viral and drew strong reactions online and across political circles.

— Marriage is starting later than ever. DD: I did not get married until I was 29 in 1978. If I had not met my outstanding wife at a church sponsored singles social event when I was 28 in 1977, I might never had gotten married. My Democrat IRS superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates were furious that I got married. To get rid of me, they had painted me being an extremely bad person because I had refused to become a Democrat. They hinted/implied/argued that because of that, I would never get married. What helped you become marriage material? By the time I got married, I had worked for IRS for almost 7 years and my salary was $110,066/year in today’s dollars. I had earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976 and I was taking graduate evening accounting courses at DePaul. I lived in a one bedroom condo in the Outer Drive East building that I had bought in 1976. I was renting out a town home in University Park that I had bought new in 1972. I owned a 1972 Corvette that I had bought new in 1971. See Money Magazine’s 4-page February 1978 article on my wife and I at https://gopillinois.com/documents/ Things that impressed me about my outstanding wife included that her first job after high school was working for the FBI. She soon became the Corporate Secretary of the U.S. League of Savings Institutions. She did much to help elect Big Jim Thompson governor in 1976. She earned a bachelor’s degree in finance from DePaul in 1986.

All of my coworkers who my Democrat superiors in the federal government promoted over me were Democrats who a) had less education than I had, had less work experience than I had, had no professional certification or fewer than I had, and/or had no professional license like the one I had and/or b) were minority, female, younger, veteran, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or had ancestors who had not been in America for a long time.

I had earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976. I had passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979. They would not have wanted that if I had been a Democrat, minority, female, or veteran.

— Trump wants to make it easier to fire federal employees. DD: For Democrats, the federal government exists to hire, retain, and promote Democrats who are minority, female, younger, veteran, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or have ancestors who have not been in America for a long time. Virtually all federal employees are Democrats who are one or more of the aforesaid. All of my coworkers who my Democrat superiors in the federal government promoted over me were Democrats who a) had less education than I had, had less work experience than I had, had no professional certification or fewer than I had, and/or had no professional license like the one I had and/or b) were minority, female, younger, veteran, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or had ancestors who had not been in America for a long time. 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, or veteran who would take the job. I would not have survived as a federal employee for almost 30 years if I had not earned a bachelor’s degree in business when I was 21, earned an MBA when I was 27, passed the CPA examination on my first attempt when I was 30, earned a master’s degree in accounting when I was 31, passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt when I was 32, became a licensed CPA when I was 32, earned four more job-related professional certifications when I was 41, 45, 47, and 48, and earned a master’s degree in finance when I was 48.

PULITZER CENTER
— DD: Democrat leaders ever-increasingly use slavey and 1619 to demonize, denigrate, condemn, and destroy Republicans. According to Democrat leaders, the more of the following that you are, the more that you have benefitted from slavery, the more that you should pay the price of Affirmative Action (AA) and DEI, and the more reparation that you should pay: 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. Because I am all of the aforesaid, Democrat leaders have always made me pay the price of AA and DEI big time. I should write about that. My Democrat GAO superiors a) forced me to retire when I was 49 in 1997, b) always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance, c) delayed my promotions and never promoted me beyond GS-13, and d) forced me to take a $23,699/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980. My Democrat IRS superiors a) refused to promote me beyond GS-12, b) disallowed my education deductions in 1978, and c) disallowed my travel vouchers in 1974. My Democrat Post Office superiors a) forced me to resign in 1969 and b) disallowed my sick leave requests in 1969 and 1968. All of my coworkers who my Democrat superiors in the federal government promoted over me were Democrats who a) had less education than I had, had less work experience than I had, had no professional certification or fewer than I had, and/or had no professional license like the one I had and/or b) were minority, female, younger, veteran, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or had ancestors who had not been in America for a long time.

DD: With the Supreme Court ruling, America’s enemies will ever-increasingly use birthright citizenship to destroy America. How did your ancestors become citizens? All my ancestors immigrated legally from what is now Germany during the 1840s and 1850s. They applied for citizenship and they became citizens. They never exhibited any type of anti-Americanism. My grandfather on my father’s side fought the Germans in WWI. My uncles on my mother’s side fought the Germans in WWII. Anticipate/expect that more and more and more of America’s enemies will pay/order their female citizens to get pregnant and to give birth in America.

ACCOUNTING TODAY
— IRS needs to hire more veterans. DD: I should write about my many Democrat Post Office, IRS, and GAO superiors who were veterans and the many big adverse actions that they took against me. What was your biggest mistake in life? For me, it was my avoiding the Vietnam War draft. My many Democrat superiors who were veterans used my avoiding the draft with deferments against me viciously. They blamed Republicans for America losing the Vietnam War. Did you try to enlist. I did not. I have always asked myself would I have been accepted if I had tried to enlist. I was 1-A even though I could not run because I had an inherited bone disease, my eyesight could not be corrected to 20/20, and I had partial red/green color blindness. My critics/opponents have always used my health problems against me. They have always stressed that if I had been accepted, I would not have been sent into combat and that proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that I am a disgusting unmitigated hypocritical coward. According to my many Democrat superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates in the federal government who were veterans, if I had not avoided the draft, I would not have been able to a) buy new cars when I was 19, 20, 23, 25, 29, etc., b) earn a bachelor’s degree in management when I was 21, c) buy real estate when I was 24, 25, 27, 29, 35, etc. d) earn an MBA when I was 27, e) get married when I was 29, f) pass the CPA examination on my first attempt when I was 30, g) earn a master’s degree in accounting when I was 31, h) pass the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt when I was 32, or i) become a licensed CPA when I was 32.

STATELINE & CENTRAL ILLINOIS PROUD
— IRS did better than expected in tax season after slashing staff, except on the phone. DD: In 1974, when I was a newly promoted 25-year-old GS-11 (currently $83,482/year) IRS Revenue Officer, I was responsible for IRS answering all the calls that came into its new Centiphone automated answering system in downtown Chicago. I supervised the operation’s entire staff which included 90 rotating IRS Revenue Agent trainees. Because of my job performance, the IRS manager who had given me that developmental assignment and who had promoted me in 1972 and 1973, promoted me to GS-12 (currently $100,059/year) in 1974. That made my Democrat IRS superiors furious. According to them, that Centiphone assignment should have been given to a Democrat, minority, female, and/or veteran. They soon got rid of the IRS manager who had promoted me. They disallowed my travel vouchers. They disallowed my education deductions. They ignored/dismissed/belittled my earning an MBA in 1976 and passing the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979. They made it clear that they would never promote me to GS-13. That directly resulted in my transferring to GAO.

I could not have afforded to buy that townhome if it had cost more. In today’s dollars, I paid about $180,000 for it. 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 $98,900. That says worlds about real estate values in University Park.

— DD: What is the main reason why you cannot afford more today? For me, it is my Democrat superiors in the federal government and the many big adverse actions that they took against me. My Democrat GAO superiors a) forced me to retire when I was 49 in 1997, b) always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance, c) delayed my promotions and never promoted me beyond GS-13, and d) forced me to take a $23,699/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980. My Democrat IRS superiors never promoted me beyond GS-12, disallowed my education deductions in 1978, and disallowed my travel vouchers in 1974. My Democrat Post Office superiors forced me to resign in 1969 and disallowed my sick leave requests in 1969 and 1968. If I had been a Democrat, minority, female, and/or veteran, they would not have taken the aforesaid adverse actions against me. Further, I should have majored in accounting from the beginning. My undergraduate major at UIC and NIU should have been accounting, my graduate major at Loyola should have been accounting, and I should have taken and passed the CPA examination much sooner than I did. I did not start taking graduate accounting courses at DePaul until I was 27 in 1976. I did not take the CPA examination and pass it on my first attempt until I was 30. I did not earn a master’s degree in accounting at DePaul until I was 31. I did not take the Certified Internal Auditor examination and pass it on my first attempt until I was 32. I did not become a licensed CPA until I was 32. By then, it was too late for me because the accounting profession saw me as being too old to have a successful career in accounting and because the accounting profession was under tremendous pressure to hire, retain, and promote minorities, females, and veterans, and I was none of the aforesaid.

https://wgntv.com/news/illinois/illinois-new-social-media-tax-explained/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Illinois’ new budget includes a variety of new taxes. One of those targets social media companies that operate in the state. Here’s how it’s supposed to work: Platforms that have 100,000 to almost half a million users will be taxed 10¢ a month for each user. That’s the lowest tier. It increases for middle tier platforms with 500,000 users to just shy of a million users. That charge will be $40,000 a month and an additional 25¢ a month for each user above the half a million mark. The highest tax tier is for platforms with a million or more users. Their fee is $165,000 a month on top of 50¢ a month for each user beyond the million mark. The tax is projected to raise $200 million a year, and social media platforms can’t pass along the fees to their users.)

POLITICO ILLINOIS
— Aaron Del Mar, the Republican nominee for lieutenant governor, has filed objections with the Illinois State Board of Elections challenging more than 20,000 signatures submitted by independent gubernatorial candidate Collin Corbett. Validity question: Del Mar and Republican activist Kristina McCloy contend that a review of Corbett’s petitions uncovered “thousands of potentially invalid signatures,” according to a statement announcing the challenge. “Illinois voters deserve fair, transparent and lawful elections,” Del Mar said in a statement. He is running alongside Republican gubernatorial nominee Darren Bailey. Corbett’s campaign said it was “reviewing the objection, but we know we have over 25,000 valid signatures, so we’re not worried,” via the Tribune. Why it matters: In Illinois politics, petition season is often the first campaign — and sometimes the most consequential. Ballot challenges can knock candidates out before a single vote is cast. What’s next: Election lawyers, hearing officers and signature experts now take center stage as the Illinois State Board of Elections begins sorting through the competing claims. Petitions must be certified by Aug. 21, according to the Board of Elections.

https://www.nprillinois.org/2026-06-03/trump-strips-job-protections-from-8-000-federal-workers
(FROM THE ARTICLE: President Trump has issued an executive order turning an estimated 8,000 federal workers into at-will employees, which means the government could fire them without providing any reason. The move culminates an effort Trump launched during his first term to strip vast numbers of federal employees of civil service protections designed to insulate their work from political interference. Nearly all of the 8,000 people affected are at the highest level of the civil service, known as GS-15. The Trump administration characterizes the roles as senior positions with significant influence over policy. They include leaders of policy offices and their chiefs of staff, heads of regional offices, program managers, senior public affairs officers and those overseeing spending and grants. The number of positions affected by Wednesday’s executive order is smaller than many anticipated. Originally, the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) estimated some 50,000 positions could be reclassified. The administration has not ruled out expanding the pool at a later time. Tripling the number of at-will employees. The federal government currently has about 4,000 political appointees who serve at the pleasure of the president. Until now, the rest of the workforce of approximately 2 million people could only be fired for certain reasons, such as inadequate performance or misconduct. In those situations, agencies must follow formal processes, including giving the employee an opportunity to appeal. But in February, the administration finalized a rule creating a new category of at-will employees called Schedule Policy/Career. (During Trump’s first term, it was known as Schedule F.) It was facing multiple lawsuits even before Wednesday’s order which spells out which jobs are now at-will. “The people responsible for protecting our public health, safeguarding our environment, delivering our mail, managing our airports, protecting our public lands, and enforcing our laws should be allowed to do their jobs, not targeted by the same government they serve,” said Skye Perryman, president of Democracy Forward, one of the organizations suing the Trump administration over the rule. “When government experts can be fired without cause, it’s not just federal workers who are harmed — it’s the people across the country who rely on these essential services every day.)

GAO, not only Bush’s DOJ sided with my Democrat GAO superiors against me, but that no Republican federal elected officials in Illinois came to my defense, that is, they sided with my Democrat GAO superiors against me. To side with my Democrat GAO superiors, is to promote Affirmative Action and DEI, that is, to promote race and gender based preference giving, patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, religious discrimination, and national origin discrimination.

https://thehill.com/opinion/campaign/5892184-ford-reagan-1976-republican-primary/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Conservatives had been marginalized ever since Herbert Hoover’s defeat in 1932. . .Reagan’s popularity showed the ideas of the right — limited government, sound money, liberty, staunch anti-Communism, belief in the traditional family unit — could find a receptive audience. The Republican Party had been transfixed by FDR’s success and had spent decades fielding candidates who seemed to accept the basic architecture of the New Deal. Roe v. Wade, Watergate, stagflation, racial strife, the fall of Saigon, détente, these were the birds now coming home to roost, and increasingly Republican voters accepted that the party needed a correction. Reagan’s performance consolidated a conservative revival which had begun with Goldwater in 1964 and was soon to reach its apotheosis.)

HARVARD BUSINESS REVIEW
— Most Performance Evaluations Are Biased. DD: My Democrat superiors and supervisors in the federal government used the subjectivity in their performance evaluation systems to get rid of their Republican employees. My Democrat GAO superiors used that subjectivity to a) force me to retire when I was 49 in 1997, b) always rank me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance, c) delay my promotions and never promote me beyond GS-13, and d) force me to take a $23,699/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980. My Democrat IRS superiors used that subjectivity to a) never promote me beyond GS-12, b) disallow my education deductions in 1978, and c) disallow my travel vouchers in 1974. My Democrat Post Office superiors used that subjectivity to a) force me to resign in 1969 and b) disallow my sick leave requests in 1969 and 1968. They used that subjectivity to ignore/dismiss/belittle 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. They would not have done any of the aforesaid if I had been a Democrat, minority, female, or veteran.

DD: My critics/opponents have always hinted/implied/argued/shouted that I was forced to retire when I was 49 in 1997 because of performance problems. They have always stressed that my superiors had delayed my promotions, never promoted me beyond GS-13, and always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance. In my defense, I have always stressed that I had earned three job-related master’s degrees, six job-related professional certifications, and a job-related professional license. I have always stressed that I had been an active member in a class action lawsuit since I was 40 that charged them with reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation. I have always stressed that they replaced me with my Black subordinate who had less work experience than I had, had less education than I had, had one professional certification while I had six, and had no professional license like the one I had.

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Fighting stigma. DOGE-led job cuts have pushed layoffs to their highest level since the pandemic, and more positions will likely be cut. DOGE has said that the reductions, in part, have targeted “low performers,” a narrative that some federal employees have pushed back on. Still, any stigma could prove challenging for one-time government staffers, said Ken Crowell, founder of EmployTest, which creates assessments for job candidates. Tropes about bureaucrats and inefficiency could emerge as a headwind, he told BI. “We can talk about fair and not fair, but you know, at a personal level, it’s going to be tough for them to get through,” Crowell said. Still, he said many former government workers have vast experience and substantive leadership and management skills that employers would be foolish to dismiss out of turn.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Under current RIF rules, agencies consider several retention factors, including tenure, veterans’ preference, length of service, and performance. Proposed changes could increase the role of performance ratings in that calculation. . .Many employees disagree with a performance rating but never create a written record. That can be a serious mistake. . .If RIF activity appears possible in your agency, ask HR specific questions. General assurances are not enough. . .Many RIF appeals turn on records. Unfortunately, employees often lose access to government systems quickly after separation, demotion, or placement on administrative status. . .The possible expansion of performance ratings in RIF decisions should change how federal employees think about their records. Performance appraisals may no longer be just annual paperwork. They may become a deciding factor in whether an employee keeps a job during a workforce reduction. Federal employees should act now: download records, correct errors, challenge unsupported ratings, document accomplishments, and preserve evidence. If a RIF comes, the employees best positioned to protect themselves will be those who prepared before the notice arrived.)

— A college degree once ensured prosperity – but gen Z is finding ‘just not much out there.’ DD: What was your entry-level job? When I earned a bachelor’s degree in management from NIU when I was 21 in 1970, potential employers saw me as being draft bait. They did not believe my application for a financial hardship draft deferment would be granted. Further, they were under tremendous pressure to hire minorities, females, and veterans. Further, I had the stigma of having been a federal employee who had been forced to resign. I had to have a job. Consequently, I accepted the only job offer that I got. It was from Firestone Stores for a sales job that did not really require a college degree. My Chicago Heights store boss would never had hired me, but his boss had assigned me to him. He did not have a college degree. He refused to let me start until after I passed a probationary period in Indiana. He disapproved of my avoiding the Vietnam War draft. He disapproved of my being Protestant, my being German American, my having ancestors who had been in America since 1844, and my living in Crete. Under him, I saw that my Firestone career was bleak, if not nonexistent. Consequently, I accepted a job offer from Oldsmobile in early 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, if not violently, fired me because I had accepted that offer. I had to have a job. So I accepted the only job offer that I got. It was to be an IRS Revenue Officer.

— The employees who you are assigned to supervise can make or break your career. All their employees who my Democrat IRS and GAO superiors assigned me to supervise were Democrats who were minority, female, younger, veteran, unmarried, disabled, and/or had performance problems. I did everything that I could to advance them, but that was not enough for my Democrat superiors. Since the 1960s, employers have been under ever-increasing pressure to hire, to retain, and to promote those who are minority, female, and/or younger. For those who are White, male, and/or older, to get hired, retained, and/or promoted, they ever-increasing have to show employers that they can and that they will advance their subordinates who are minority, female, and/or younger. – Dave Diersen

My Democrat IRS superiors a) never promoted me beyond GS-12, b) disallowed my education deductions in 1978, and c) disallowed my travel vouchers in 1974. My Democrat Post Office superiors a) forced me to resign in 1969 and b) disallowed my sick leave requests in 1969 and 1968. My critics/opponents have always stressed that in Diersen v. GAO, not only Bush’s DOJ sided with my Democrat GAO superiors against me, but that no Republican federal elected officials in Illinois came to my defense, that is, they sided with my Democrat GAO superiors against me. To side with my Democrat GAO superiors, is to promote Affirmative Action and DEI, that is, to promote race and gender based preference giving, patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, religious discrimination, and national origin discrimination.
