DAILY HERALD
— Geneva group’s plan to host January 6 organizer draws pickets, protests. Politics is nasty/vicious. Ever-increasingly, my anti-conservative critics/opponents in the Milton Township Republican Organization, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Illinois Republican Party hinted/implied/argued/shouted that Illinois Center Right Coalition (ICRC) and TAPROOT (Traditions And Principles Republicans Often Overlook Today) were hate groups. They ever-increasingly hinted/implied/argued/shouted that ICRC and TAPROOT caused Republican candidates in Illinois to lose elections. I served on ICRC’s Steering Committee 2003-2007 and as TAPROOT’s chairman 2005-2012. TAPROOT held breakfast meetings the third Saturday of every month except August when it held a picnic and December when it held a Christmas party. I invited all the speakers for all of its 78 events 2005-2012. I should list all those who spoke at TAPROOT events 2005-2012. Almost all of them were Republican candidates, elected officials, and/or party leaders. My critics/opponents had their operatives and their dupes destroy ICRC and TAPROOT.

(FROM THE ARTICLE: A Geneva group’s plan to host the Stewart Rhodes, founder of the far-right Oath Keepers and a convicted Jan. 6 organizer, has stirred a hornet’s nest of protest on social media, a petition of more than 1,000 signatures and pickets in front of a local country club. The conservative Three Headed Eagle Alliance’s Sept. 23 gathering at Eagle Brook Country Club was scheduled to feature Rhodes, who was convicted of seditious conspiracy in connection with Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol and sentenced to 18 years in prison, as its guest speaker. However, the Three Headed Eagle’s website now states the venue for Rhodes’ appearance has been changed and will be announced closer to the date.)

AMERICAN THINKER
— America’s Black On White Crime Problem
https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2025/09/america_s_black_on_white_crime_problem_captured_in_full_color_video.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: George Floyd was a criminal and a sometime thug. By the time he died of a drug overdose in 2020, he had spent at least the last 23 years committing crimes. Over that 23-year period, he was arrested at least nine times for everything from drug possession and distribution to theft to aggravated assault. He was stopped for a wide variety of other activities that required him to do community service or did not result in an arrest. Nine arrests over 23 years might not sound like a lot, but for more than eight of those years, he was in prison and not able to prey on people. Although arrested and jailed for aggravated assault, the crime that was the catalyst for his death was his decision to pass a counterfeit $20 bill. When the police arrived, he refused to comply, fought the police, and then died from natural causes when he was pinned down to the ground, as the police were surrounded by an angry mob that made it impossible for them even to try to address Floyd’s health. Then suddenly, George Floyd became a saint. Across the country and around the world, there was gnashing of teeth, protests, and riots about his death. The Black Lives Matter grifters monetized it, politicians made speeches using it to demonize police and America, and the draconian regulations meant to protect us from a supposedly extinction-level virus were conveniently suspended so long as people were busy protesting and burning down cities. However, only with a fuller understanding of the circumstances leading up to the events captured on video does one understand that Floyd’s death was not murder or even police brutality, but rather a very unfortunate circumstance brought about by Floyd himself. But then it wasn’t George Floyd’s death itself that caused half the country to rally around the fiction of police brutality and systemic racism; it was the videos. While the videos are indeed difficult to watch, they don’t change the fact that it was Floyd’s choices that were responsible.)

— Why the United States Leads the World in Millionaires. Roughly 1 in every 15 people in the U.S. is a millionaire. Why do you have less money? I have less money because my Democrat superiors in the federal government wasted my career and forced me to retire when I was 49 in 1997.
https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/markets/why-the-united-states-leads-the-world-in-millionaires/ar-AA1M401a
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The United States is a global leader in wealth accumulation, boasting the highest number of millionaires and billionaires. By 2024, an estimated 23.8 million Americans will have a net worth of at least seven figures. This means that roughly 1 in every 15 people in the U.S. is a millionaire. . .One of the keys to this massive wealth accumulation lies in the characteristics and mindset of those who achieve it. Millionaires in the U.S. are typically goal-oriented and patient. Rather than pursuing ostentatious lifestyles, they focus on building a mix of financial assets that grow over time. Their wealth often stems from consistent contributions to retirement accounts, prudent use of credit, and avoiding unnecessary liabilities.)

And it is a broken immigration system which both parties have failed to fix” . . . “look to the undocumented and find qualities they share in common” . . . “So many of the undocumented have for decades been connected to us” . . . “They are here not by invasion, but by invitation — an invitation to harvest the fruits of the earth that feed our families; an invitation to clean our tables, homes and hotel rooms; an invitation to landscape our lawns; and yes, even an invitation to care for our children and elders.” . . . “Looking for connections instead of differences, people can respond to this moment and thus reclaim our calling to live as authentic persons in the image of divine persons.”)

BUSINESS BECAUSE
— Career Success. According to my critics/opponents, federal employees are not successful unless they make GS-13 ($117,807) by age 25, GS-14 ($139,211) by age 30, GS-15 ($163,749) by age 35, and Senior Executive Service ($195,200) by age 40. Since 1973, my critics/opponents have stressed that I did not make GS-13 until I was 38 and that I never made GS-14. In my defense, extremely few federal employees make the aforesaid promotion deadlines. The following frustrated my making the aforesaid promotion deadlines: a) I avoided the Vietnam Warr draft, b) I did not become a Democrat, c) I did not major in accounting at UIC 1966-1968 and NIU 1969-1970, d) I was not a minority, female, or veteran, e) I complained about political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination, f) I became an active member in a class action lawsuit that charged my superiors with reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation when I was 40, g) I did not earn an MBA until I was 27, h) I did not take and pass the CPA examination until I was 30, i) I did not earn a master’s degree in accounting until I was 31, j) I did not take and pass the Certified Internal Auditor examination util I was 32, and k) I did not become a licensed CPA until I was 32.

ILLINOIS POLICY INSTITUTE
— Pritzker grows state spending most among past 5 Illinois governors
https://www.illinoispolicy.org/pritzker-grows-state-spending-most-among-past-5-illinois-governors/
— Lawmakers should look outside of Springfield when choosing a fiscal watchdog. What if lawmakers had chosen me instead of Mautino? When they chose Mautino, I had almost 18 years of experience working for GAO, the last 11 years of which at the GS-13 Step 1-10 Levels, currently $117,807-$153,151/year, and almost 9 years of experience working for IRS, the last 5 1/2 years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 Levels, currently $99,069-$112,280/year. I was a licensed CPA and a Certified Internal Auditor, Fraud Examiner, Government Financial Manager, Financial Services Auditor, and Forensic Accountant. I had master’s degrees in business, accounting, and finance.
https://www.illinoispolicy.org/lawmakers-should-look-outside-of-springfield-when-choosing-a-fiscal-watchdog/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Illinois will soon be seeking a new top fiscal watchdog, but how it picked the current one shows it should change how it picks the next one. Illinois Auditor General Frank Mautino is set to retire after a decade in the position and 24 years as a state lawmaker before that, according to reporting from the Illinoize. His campaign spending came under scrutiny and ended with ethics violations, a federal criminal investigation and a refusal to respond to requests for information. The auditor general’s job is to monitor how public funds are spent in the state. The state constitution puts Mautino’s replacement solely in the hands of the General Assembly. Lawmakers picked one of their own when they chose Mautino. His replacement should not be one of their own, or any long-time Springfield insider. The person should be independent and an outsider with a clean record. Mautino’s proved to be spotty, to say the least.)

https://www.alternet.org/trump-opm-hiring-guidelines/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM) unveiled new hiring guidelines on Thursday, May 29, describing them as a “merit hiring plan.” And according to a joint memo from acting OPM Director Charles Ezell and Vince Haley, director of President Donald Trump’s Domestic Policy Council, job applicants are being quizzed on their favorite Trump policies. One of the four essay questions applicants are being asked reads, “How would you help advance the president’s executive orders and policy priorities in this role? Identify one or two relevant executive orders or policy initiatives that are significant to you, and explain how you would help implement them if hired.” The Ezell/Haley memo underscored the Trump Administration’s disdain for DEI (diversity, equity and inclusion) policies, using anti-affirmative action rhetoric. Ezell and Haley wrote, “The American people deserve a federal workforce dedicated to American values and efficient service. Yet, federal hiring criteria long ago abandoned any serious need for technical skills and adherence to the Constitution. Instead, the overly complex federal hiring system overemphasized discriminatory ‘equity’ quotas and too often resulted in the hiring of unfit, unskilled, bureaucrats.” The memo called for federal government agencies to abandon any use of “racial quotas and preferences” and refrain from collecting data “regarding the composition of the agency’s workforce based on race, sex, color, religion or national origin.” A federal resources official believes the new guidelines will be a source of stress for both applicants and hiring managers. The official, interviewed on condition of anonymity, told the Government Executive website, “Everything in it will make it more difficult to hire, not less. How the f— do you define if someone is patriotic?”)

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.

— Court allows Trump to stop collective bargaining for thousands of federal workers. 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.

— Democrat leaders ever-increasingly slam Trump budget cuts. Democrat and RINO leaders did not slam Gingrich’s GAO budget cuts during the 1980s and 1990s. The agency shrank from more than 6,000 employees to less than 3,000 employees. If Gingrich had reformed GAO instead of gutting it, there would be no need for DOGE.

— The Trump administration is resuming collections from student loan borrowers in default. If you had to work your way through college, how would your life have been different if you had not had to do that? My high school, undergraduate, and graduate GPAs would have been higher. Instead of studying, I spent far too many hours washing dishes while I was a Crete-Monee student 1964-1966. My ACT score was only 24. I only just barely made it into the upper 20% of my high school class. Instead of studying, I spent far too many hours a) delivering mail while I was a UIC and NIU student 1966-1969, b) selling tires, automotive services, and major appliances while I was a UIC student in 1971, c) pumping gasoline while I was a Loyola student in 1972, d) collecting delinquent taxes while I was a Loyola and DePaul student 1972-1980, and e) auditing federal agencies while I was a DePaul student in 1980 and an IIT student 1992-1997. Further, my 1979 CPA examination scores would have been higher if I had studied instead of collected delinquent federal taxes. Further, my 1981 Certified Internal Auditor examination scores would have been higher if I had studied instead of audited federal agencies. – Dave Diersen

— If you could do it over again, would you have had the same college major? I would have majored in accounting instead of management. I did not take and pass the CPA examination on my first attempt until I was 30 years old in 1979. By then, the accounting profession considered me to be far too old to have a successful career in accounting. The profession would not have done that if I had been a minority, female, and/or veteran. It is called reverse discrimination and age discrimination. – Dave Diersen

DAILY HERALD
— FRONT PAGE TOP OF FOLD WITH BIG PICTURE: Democrat leaders crow about their success in defeating Republican township candidates. I should compare and contrast the eight Democrat Milton Township candidates who won with their eight Republican opponents who lost. For the April 1 election, what if Republican candidates, elected officials, and party leaders had promoted Trump’s policies as strongly as Democrat candidates, elected officials, and party leaders demonized, denigrated, and condemned Trump’s policies?
https://www.dailyherald.com/20250412/news/suburban-blue-wave-hits-township-races/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Suburban Democratic leaders say anger over the policies of President Donald Trump’s administration helped spur voters to action. “The best way to go against Trump and Musk is to put Democrats in office,” said Mark Guethle, chairman of the Democratic Party of Kane County. He said the township wins will help Democrats build a bench of candidates for future races for higher office. “Eventually, those people move up,” Guethle said. . .DuPage GOP leader Kevin Coyne said Republican candidates “ran good campaigns” but faced a “perfect storm of issues,” including an infusion of cash from the Democratic Party of Illinois to help bolster their candidates, the Trump factor, a demographic shift in the state as Republicans leave Illinois and being outpaced by Democrats in vote-by-mail ballots. . .McCollum, however, pointed to Election Day tallies and noted the majority of Democrats in contested races fared better when just looking at in-person Election Day vote tallies. He argued the bigger issue in the local races was Trump. . .Newly elected township officials plan to use these wins to focus on issues such as mental health care or other social assistance programs — services Democratic leaders fear may suffer under Trump’s administration.)
— Tariffs could cost them. They’re still standing by Trump. My standing by the Republican Party platform has cost me dearly. My critics/opponents reject some, many, most, virtually all, if not all the planks in the Republican Party platform.
