In my defense, I had three job-related master’s degrees, six job-related professional certifications, and a job related professional license.

BUSINESS INSIDER
— They were living paycheck to paycheck. Then the checks stopped coming. DD: Federal employees have always been viciously demonized, denigrated, and condemned as being grossly overpaid. My Democrat superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates in the federal government complained that they were underpaid. During the almost 30 years that I worked for the federal government, my salary increased from $19.37/hour to $153,151/year in today’s dollars. But it would not have if I had not a) earned a job-related bachelor’s degree, b) earned three job-related master’s degrees, c) earned six job-related professional licenses, and d) earned a job-related professional license.

GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— I have been the Illinois reporter for GOPUSA since 2000. What do you say to my Republican critics/opponents who ever-increasingly do not want me a) to know about their events, b) to promote their events, c) to attend their events, d) to speak with anyone at their events, e) to ask questions of the speakers at their events, or f) to report on their events? Ever-increasingly they have their operatives and their dupes try to stop me from speaking with anyone at their events. Ever-increasingly, they blame me and blame my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters for all of their problems, for all of my problems, for all of your problems, and for all of everyone’s problems. According to them, I paint Republican candidates as being more conservative than they want to be painted and that causes them to lose elections. Should I start writing about my Republican critics/opponents and their operatives and their dupes? I would focus on those who have succeed in a) stopping me from attending their events and b) throwing me out of their events. – Dave Diersen

— What do your Republican critics/opponents do? Mine have their operatives and their dupes destroy those like me a) who they cannot manipulate or dominate, b) who refuse to glorify and praise them, c) who refuse to pander to them, d) who refuse to serve as one of their operatives or dupes, e) who refuse to cover up their wrongdoing, and/or f) who refuse to give them money. I should write about my Republican critics/opponents who are still in the mix and who have had their operatives and their dupes take the most/biggest adverse actions against me lately. Most commonly, they reject the equal opportunity plank in the Republican Party platform. They want more and more and more preference for those who are minority, female, younger, LGBTQ, non-Protestant, non-German American, citizens of foreign countries, and/or have ancestors who have not been in America for a long time. – Dave Diersen

https://www.audacy.com/wxrt/news/local/dabrowski-criticizes-pritzker-while-backing-feds-in-chicago
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Republican gubernatorial candidate Ted Dabrowski is voicing support for federal immigration enforcement in Chicago, while taking aim at Governor JB Pritzker’s handling of the issue. At a press conference in DuPage County, where he also picked up endorsements from former DuPage County Auditor Bob Grogan, former state Rep. Jeanne Ives, and former state Rep. Tom Morrison, Dabrowski was asked about armed federal agents patrolling downtown as part of the Department of Homeland Security’s “Operation Midway Blitz.” Dabrowski said he believes state leaders should work with federal authorities instead of opposing them. “I really wish the governor would cooperate with the federal authorities so that we don’t have to have federal authorities running around chasing people,” Dabrowski said. “By not cooperating with the federal authorities, we’re creating more of a mess.” He also accused Pritzker of inflaming tensions around the federal presence. “I think the governor’s words have been fomenting violence and fomenting these agitators to get even more fired up. I wish Governor Pritz would come out and say, stop, we do not want violence. We will not attack our federal authorities. They’re doing their work,” Dabrowski said. The Wilmette Republican tied his criticism to his campaign pledge to repeal Illinois’ sanctuary state law, arguing the state should prioritize residents over what he called “billions of welcoming dollars” for new arrivals. Dabrowski, president of the conservative policy group Wirepoints, entered the 2026 GOP primary earlier this month as the early fundraising leader. He faces a likely challenge from former state Sen. Darren Bailey, the GOP’s 2022 nominee, along with DuPage County Sheriff Jim Mendrick and Lake Forest resident Joe Severino.)

https://www.thecentersquare.com/illinois/article_b482fae5-201c-45e1-8c50-5908933dce3c.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: While Gov. J.B. Pritzker remains unchallenged in the 2026 Democratic Party primary, Republican candidates for governor are lining up support. Former state Reps. Jeanne Ives, R-Wheaton, and Tom Morrison, R-Palatine, announced their endorsements of former Wirepoints President Ted Dabrowski on Monday. Ives supported former state Sen. Darren Bailey, R-Xenia, in 2022 but said there is a better option in 2026. “No one knows the issues better than Ted, and subsequently, nobody is better positioned to attract independent suburban voters on the merits of who can do better for Illinois families,” Ives said. Morrison said Dabrowski is the candidate who can win. “For the past 15 years I’ve known Ted, and whether I was in office or out, I’ve been so grateful for his insights and understanding and how to get Illinois on the new and better path that we’re capable of and that we deserve if we get the right leadership,” Morrison said. Ives, Morrison and former DuPage County Auditor Bob Grogan endorsed Dabrowski at a press conference in Wheaton. Dabrowski also announced several six-figure donors to his campaign. Uline CEO Richard Uihlein and Madison Dearborn co-founder James Perry donated $250,000 each to Ted for Illinois. Investor Noel Moore gave $125,000 and five others gave $100,000 each. The Republican nominee will likely face a significant financial disadvantage against incumbent Gov. J.B. Pritzker. Ives said she believes Dabrowski can win his first attempt at public office, even though Pritzker is a billionaire with the political infrastructure and backing of the Democratic Party of Illinois, which was built by former Illinois House Speaker and DPI Chairman Michael Madigan. “Madigan’s headed to prison. We know it’s a David vs. Goliath fight, but we’re already meeting with people around the state that have had it with Governor Pritzker,” Ives said, pointing out that “David won!” In 2018, Ives challenged incumbent Illinois Gov. Bruce Rauner in the Republican primary and lost. Bailey launched his second gubernatorial run last week after falling to Pritzker in the 2022 general election. Concerned Parents of Illinois founder Kristina McCloy said she is supporting Bailey and his running mate, Cook County Republican chairman Aaron Del Mar. “If you are tired of watching Illinois sink under radical ideologies and leadership, then this is your team. Darren Bailey and Aaron Del Mar are the fighters that Illinois family needs,” McCloy said. DuPage County Sheriff James Mendrick and Lake Forest businessman Joe Severino are also seeking the GOP nomination. Mendrick is endorsed by sheriffs in Iroquois, Jefferson and Macon counties as well as by Carol Stream Mayor Frank Saverino. Mendrick’s running mate is U.S. Army veteran Robert Renteria.)

https://www.wsj.com/personal-finance/retirement/retirement-after-75-finances-life-b21410b9
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Almost 9% of Americans 75 and older were working or looking for work last year, up from 6% two decades earlier, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. And the share between 65 and 74 rose to 27% in 2024, versus 22% in 2004. The government estimates those percentages will rise more along with the aging population. There are plenty of reasons people delay retirement until later in life. Some have financial worries. Many are highly educated professionals and business owners who enjoy what they do too much to stop entirely, said Nicole Maestas, an economist and professor of healthcare policy at Harvard Medical School. Many who work longer are self-employed and might have greater control over their work hours. Others never found the right time to leave. The financial benefits of delaying retirement can be significant. A person who continues to earn some income, even on a part-time basis, is likely to withdraw less from their savings, preserving more for later in life or heirs. People who work longer may also be able to delay Social Security, which increases its payouts by up to 8% for every year they refrain from collecting a check between ages 62 and 70.)

I would focus on Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct who have lost elections.

I would focus on Republican leaders of Illinois, DuPage County, Milton Township, and Wheaton. I would focus on conservative leaders. I would focus on religious leaders. I would focus on those who I have sued and their attorneys.
https://www.google.com/search?q=blaming+problems+on+others
(FROM THE POSTING: Blaming others is a defense mechanism used to avoid self-responsibility, protect self-esteem, and manage guilt or shame by deflecting personal accountability onto others. This unhealthy coping strategy, also known as deflection, prevents personal growth and creates unhealthy relationship dynamics, leading to a cycle of personal challenges. To overcome blaming, it’s important to understand its root causes, practice self-reflection, and learn to take healthy responsibility for one’s actions and emotions. )

Only a handful of Democrats and none of the party’s top leaders attended the ceremony, an outpouring of praise and mourning for the right-wing activist, who was assassinated last week. Because I did not know Kirk, I do not have standing to organize an event in Wheaton for Kirk. But what if someone in Wheaton who knew Kirk arranged an event for Kirk? How many would attend? Who would attend? Who would boycott the event?

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.)

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.)

NPR
— U.S. Open delayed by Trump’s attendance. As Democrat leadership ever-increasingly increases crime in Illinois and in DuPage County, security measures to get into events ever-increasingly discourages me from attending events. Naperville barred my wife from its Last Fling event this year because her purse was too big. DuPage County security measures to get into the Sinise fundraiser for veterans earlier this year were extremely burdensome.

DAILY BEAST
— Vance Praises Five-Time Draft Dodger’s ‘Marine’-Like Leadership Style. Trump famously avoided the Vietnam War thanks to bone spurs. But Vance wouldn’t be “shocked” to learn POTUS had been a Marine. Since 1966, because I was 1-A for the draft, my critics/opponents have used against me big time my getting student draft deferments 1966-1970 and my getting a financial hardship draft deferment 1970-1971. What if I had fought my being classified 1-A? I could not run because I had a bone disease. My eyesight could not be corrected to 20/20. I had partial red/green color blindness.

— Fired Federal Trade Commission member asks Supreme Court to keep her on the job. In Diersen v. GAO, the federal judges and justices ruled that federal agencies can force their employees to retire, that is, to fire them, because they are active members in class action lawsuits that charge them with reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation. So far, because of that ruling, GAO has forced the Civil Service Retirement System to pay me $1.9 million in today’s dollars to stop me from coming to work.
