https://www.dailyherald.com/20251019/news/ice-agents-search-for-detainee-through-mount-prospect-neighborhood/
— Shutdown impact: What it means for workers, federal programs and the economy. DD: During the 1980s and 1990s, Gingrich used budget cuts to gut GAO. The agency shrank from more than 6,000 employees to less than 3,000. My Democrat GAO superiors were furious. They took their fury out on me. They forced me to take a $23,472/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS. 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. They always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance. They forced me to retire when I was 49 years old in 1997. They flushed down their toilets what I had learned working for IRS for almost 9 years and earning three job related master’s degrees, six job-related professional certifications, and a job-related professional license.
https://www.dailyherald.com/20251018/nation-and-world-politics/shutdown-impact-what-it-means-for-workers-federal-programs-and-the-economy/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The administration is also trying to fire thousands of federal workers in agencies that don’t align with its priorities. Republican leaders in Congress have said that’s part of the fallout from a shutdown. Past presidents, however, did not use shutdowns to engage in mass firings. The Republican administration has announced one reduction in force affecting 4,100 workers, with the biggest cuts happening at the departments of Treasury, Health and Human Services, Education and Housing and Urban Development. White House budget chief Russ Vought said in an interview on “The Charlie Kirk Show” that many more are planned. “I think we’ll probably end up being north of 10,000,” Vought said. “We want to be very aggressive where we can be in shuttering the bureaucracy,” Vought said. “Not just the funding, but the bureaucracy, that we now have an opportunity to do that.”)

— If Trump had been elected earlier, how would that have impacted you? Hopefully for me, if Trump had been President: a) in 1968 and 1969, my Democrat Post Office superiors would not have disallowed my sick leave requests or forced me to resign in 1969, b) in 1971, EEOC would not have forced Oldsmobile to stop hiring Whites to settle a complaint, c) in 1974, my Democrat IRS superiors would not have disallowed my travel requests, d) in 1978, my Democrat IRS superiors would not have disallowed my education expenses, e) by in 1980, my Democrat GAO superiors would not have forced me to take a $23,472/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS, f) starting in 1980, my Democrat GAO superiors would always have assigned me to audits of IRS, g) by 1988, my GAO superiors would have promoted me to their Senior Executive Service, h) by 1997, Gingrich would have reformed GAO instead of gutting it, and i) in 1997, my Democrat GAO superiors would not have forced me to retire. – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com
— How has EEOC impacted you? EEOC has always existed to give more preference to Democrat employees who are minority, female, younger, LGBTQ, veteran, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or have ancestors who have not been in America for a long time. Ever since I was 22 years old in 1971, EEOC has had a tremendous impact on me. Back then, Oldsmobile withdrew a job offer that I had accepted because it had agreed to stop hiring Whites to settle an EEOC complaint. My Firestone Store boss rudely fired me because I had accepted that offer. Because I had to have a job, I accepted a job offer from IRS. – Dave Diersen

— Federal Government Wastes 59 Cents on the Dollar. 89 Percent Favor Auditing All Government Spending to Root Out Waste, Fraud, and Abuse. DD: My Democrat superiors in the federal government wasted my career and forced me to retire when I was 49 years old in 1997. My Democrat Post Office superiors wasted what I learned delivering mail for almost 3 years while I completed courses in management at UIC and NIU. They forced me to resign falsely arguing that I was not available to work enough part-time hours. My Democrat IRS superiors wasted what I learned collecting delinquent taxes for almost 9 years while I completed graduate evening business and accounting courses at Loyola and DePaul and passed the CPA examination on my first attempt. They refused to promote me beyond GS-12. My Democrat GAO superiors wasted what I learned auditing federal agencies for almost 18 years while I passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt, became a licensed CPA, and completed graduate evening finance courses. They kept me off audits of IRS for all but 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for GAO. They refused to promote me beyond GS-13 and forced me to retire when I was 49 years old in 1997. So far, they have forced the Civil Service Retirement System to pay me $1.9 million in today’s dollars to stop me from coming to work. They would not have done the aforesaid if I had been a Democrat, minority, female, and/or veteran.

TEXAS TRIBUNE
— Texas GOP censures five lawmakers. DD: I should write about the following who reject the most planks in the Republican Party platform: a) leaders of the Milton Township Republican Organization, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Illinois Republican Party, b) Republican leaders of Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois, c) Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct, d) conservative leaders, and e) religious leaders. Most commonly, they reject the personal responsibility, traditional marriage and family, right to life, immigration, illegal drugs, Second Amendment, and/or equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) planks. I would focus on the aforesaid who have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me lately.
