— President Donald J. Trump Ensures Accountability and Prioritizes Public Safety in Federal Hiring. 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, or veteran who would take the job. 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 I would not have become an IRS employee in 1971 if Oldsmobile had not withdrawn a job offer that I had accepted saying that it had just agreed to stop hiring Whites to settle an EEOC complaint.

— B-Schools for High-Paying Finance, Accounting Jobs. Alumni of these schools working in the finance and accounting industry often earn six-figure salaries. I should have majored in accounting at UIC 1966-1968 and NIU 1969-1970. I did not start taking graduate accounting courses at DePaul until 1976. I did not take and pass the CPA examination on my first attempt until 1979. I did not earn a master’s degree in accounting until 1980. I did not take and pass the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt until 1981. I did not become a licensed CAP until 1981. But by then, the accounting profession saw me as being far too old to have a successful career in accounting. On top of that, the accounting profession was under tremendous pressure to hire, retain, and promote young minorities and young women.

POLITICO ILLINOIS
— Richard Porter eyeing Durbin’s seat
https://www.politico.com/newsletters/illinois-playbook/2025/07/09/richard-porter-eyeing-durbins-seat-00443440
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Richard Porter, a battle-hardened Republican Party loyalist, is considering a bid for the U.S. Senate seat now held by Democratic Sen. Dick Durbin, who’s retiring. Porter sees an opening for himself and the Illinois Republican Party by blending establishment savvy with MAGA fealty. His background: Porter, 65, is a seasoned attorney from Chicago’s northern suburbs and a former Republican National Committeeman who has worn many hats over the years. He was a senior domestic policy adviser to President George W. Bush and counselor to Vice President Dan Quayle. More recently he’s been an unofficial adviser within the Illinois Republican Party. Porter’s resume screams old guard, but he now sings support for President Donald Trump and his policies — a pivot from the early years of Trump’s first administration. Walking a tightrope: “I represent the old and new party,” Porter told your Playbook host, adding he’s still in the “testing the waters phase” of running for Senate. It’s a narrow but not impossible lane, he says. With Durbin out and three prominent Democrats already elbowing one another in a looming primary brawl, Porter sees a crack in the Democratic firewall that has defined Illinois politics for so many years. “This is an open seat,” Porter said. “Democrats will have to compete in a primary so there’s a good chance for division coming out of that.” Porter expects economic renewal under Trump, and he brushed aside Democrats’ concerns that hundreds of thousands of people will lose health care under Trump’s just-signed megabill. “If you look at actual provisions, they aren’t unreasonable — there are work requirements,” Porter said. “Real world impact will be minimal.” Perhaps. But … that won’t stop Democrats from branding it as catastrophic to voters. Porter is confident that any “unintended bad consequence” from the budget reconciliation bill can be corrected before the 2026 midterms. Porter’s view: “There’s a risk if Democrats cry wolf, wolf, wolf for 12 months and there’s no wolf.” He’s also been poring over 2024 election results and sees Trump’s showing in Illinois as a positive sign that Republicans could find success in 2026 in the state where Democrats control all the statewide seats. Add a possible chaotic Democratic primary and a volatile national climate, and anything is possible. The challenge for any statewide Republican candidate, Porter says, is getting old guard and new right Republicans to march in lock step. The other challenge is getting the state’s most prominent Republican donor — businessman Richard Uihlein — on your side. SIDE NOTE: Porter would face a primary. Air Force veteran John Goodman, political commentator Pamela Denise Long and businessman Douglas Bennett and others have filed as Republican candidates, too.)

https://dupagepolicyjournal.com/stories/673828974-they-threw-christine-into-the-waterl-chicago-flash-mob-takes-over-glen-ellyn-s-sunset-pool-assaults-manager
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A “flash mob” of some 200 Chicago residents swarmed Glen Ellyn’s Sunset village pool on Saturday afternoon, forcing their way past the entrance and assaulting the pool manager. A video posted on Instagram shows a crowd pushing manager Christine Giunta-Mayer into the lap pool, which had been surrounded by the mob. Sources tell DuPage Policy Journal that the mob arrived around 4:30 p.m. Glen Ellyn Police arrived soon after and closed the pool. A Sat. afternoon Facebook post by Patrick Sandusky reported the pool as “now closed.” “The Sunset Pool has been overwhelmed by out of town kids,” he wrote. “Fireworks fired into pool. It’s a tik tok meet up / take over according to police I just spoke to.” “Kids pushed (past) the gates. Lot of drinking and weed in the parking lot. 100s and 100s of kids. No joke. Pushed manager into the pool,” Sandusky wrote. The Sunset Pool’s non-resident admission rate is $15 for individuals 18-59. On Sunday, Sunset Pool visitors were required to have a physical pool pass issued by the park district, sources tell DuPage Policy Journal. Weed, Miller Lite, and “on the rocks cosmos” Glen Ellyn teens present described a chaotic scene. The flash mob brought in coolers with alcohol and speakers to play music. “They were drinking and smoking weed and swearing a lot,” a Glen Ellyn teen present at the pool at the time told DuPage Policy Journal. “Someone threw a lit cigar into the pool.” “I saw Miller Lite bottles and girls drinking on-the-rocks cosmos,” the teen said. “They were taking people’s stuff and moving it from their pool chairs.” The flash mob was originally planned for Naperville. “We bringing (sic) 31st Beach to the burbs” read a Facebook advertisement promoting the event, scheduled for Naperville’s Centennial Beach, from 4:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. “31st Beach” is a reference to 31st Street Beach on Chicago’s South Side. Giunta-Mayer is also head coach of the Glenbard West Hilltoppers Boys’ Volleyball team.)

They used those cuts a) to force me to take 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, b) to delay my promotions and to never promote me beyond GS-13, c) to always rank me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance, and d) to force me to retire when I was 49 years old in 1997. They would not have done the aforesaid if I had been a Democrat, minority, female, and/or veteran.

GAO ( https://gopillinois.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/DiersenGAOFifthAmendedComplaint.pdf ), you will conclude that the courts ruled that employees can be fired for opposing Affirmative Action and DEI, that is, for opposing race and gender based preference giving, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, religious discrimination, and/or national origin discrimination.

— More Workers in Illinois Are Quitting Their Jobs. The longer that you work for the federal government, the harder that it is to get a job in the private sector. I started working for the federal government when I was 18 years old in 1966. My Democrat superiors forced me to resign in 1969. Nevertheless, Firestone Stores hired me in 1970 and Oldsmobile offered me a job in 1971. But the Firestone job did not really require the bachelor’s degree in management that I had and Oldsmobile withdrew its job offer saying that it had just agreed to stop hiring Whites to settle an EEOC complaint.

— One could question why I did not succumb earlier than I did to my Democrat GAO superiors’ ever-increasing tremendous pressure on me to retire. I could have taken their early retirement “offer” when I was 45 years old in 1993, but I nevertheless survived until I was 49 years old in 1997. Obvious reasons include my Civil Service Retirement System would have been even smaller. During those 4 years, I became a Certified Government Financial Manager, Financial Services Auditor, and Forensic Accountant and I earned a master’s degree in financial markets and trading. If I had not taken their “offer” in 1997, I would not have been eligible for regular retirement until I was 55 in 2003. They had made it very clear that they would have made those 6 years a living hell for me.

The automaker had discontinued the beloved HEMI V-8 engine from its 2025 Ram trucks as part of a “woke” pivot by the since-ousted CEO of parent company Stellantis Carlos Tavares. But new Ram CEO Tim Kuniskis, who came out of retirement last year, offered up a mea culpa over the decision to pull the plug on the engine that powered the top-selling truck for decades. My 2013 Dodge Charger R/T Max has a HEMI.

— My critics/opponents hinted/implied/argued/shouted that TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois and Illinois Center Right Coalition (ICRC) were far-right if not extremist groups that caused Republicans to lose elections. I served as the TAPROOT chairman 2005-2012 and I served as an ICRC officer 2003-2007. My critics/opponents had their operatives and their dupes destroy TAPROOT and ICRC. I should write about my critics/opponents. I would focus on those who continue to have lots of religious, government, political, and/or financial clout in Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois. I would focus on those who had their operatives and their dupes take the most/biggest adverse actions against me lately.

RIVER BENDER
— Accounting Major Ralph Wideman Delivers Address At Illinois High School Diploma Graduation. Career counseling is very important. My not majoring in accounting at UIC 1966-1968 and at NIU 1969-1970 was a very big career mistake. I erroneously thought that I could not pass the CPA examination. I did not start taking graduate 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 on my first attempt until I was 32. I did not become a licensed CPA until I was 32. By then, the accounting profession saw me as being far too old to have a successful career in accounting. The accounting profession would not have done that if I had been a minority, female, or veteran.

— Democrats run the federal government. Federal employees are their patronage army. They hired me in 1980, 1971, and 1966 because they could not find a qualified Democrat, minority, female, younger person, or veteran who would take the job. They wasted my career and got rid of me because I refused to become a Democrat. – Dave Diersen

— My critics/opponents demand blind loyalty. They have their operatives and dupes destroy those like me who they cannot manipulate/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. – Dave Diersen

— Did you deduct education expenses? My IRS employee manual strongly encouraged me to take graduate business, accounting, and law courses. But IRS provided no reimbursement for tuition or books. Nevertheless, a) I started taking graduate evening business courses at Loyola in 1972 and earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976 and b) I started taking graduate evening accounting courses at DePaul in 1976 and earned a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980. I deducted the tuition and books. In 1978, to get rid of me, my Democrat IRS superiors disallowed my deductions. I should write about that. They outrageously, disgustingly, and unethically argued a) that the courses did not relate to my job duties, b) that the courses did not maintain or improve my job skills, c) that I took the courses to get a job in the private sector, and d) that I took the courses to qualify myself for a new trade or business.

— What motivated you to overcome workplace obstacles and keep on working? The importance of the Post Office’s mission (delivering mail), IRS’s mission (funding the federal government), and GAO’s mission (fighting government fraud, waste, and abuse) helped me overcome workplace obstacles and to keep on working. While I was a S.S. Kresge employee 1964-1966, it was my wanting money to buy a new car (1966 Pontiac Tempest Sprint) to get to/from my parents’ home in Crete and classes at UIC. While I was a postal employee 1966-1969, it was my need for money to pay for my UIC and NIU expenses and to buy new cars (1968 Oldsmobile 442 and 1969 Dodge Charger SE) to get to/from classes and work. While I was a Firestone Store employee 1970-1972, it included my need for money to help support my mother and brother.
