— 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

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.shawlocal.com/kendall-county-now/2025/09/27/a-revival-born-charlie-kirk-memorial-in-yorkville-darren-bailey-campaigns-for-governor/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: With antisniper security on rooftops in downtown Yorkville for the Sept. 27 Charlie Kirk memorial, one speaker remarked it’s sad this is the current state of American political discourse. Organized by Kendall Action, a conservative fundraising PAC, the event was part sermon, “a revival born in Charlie Kirk’s name,” part rally, with Darren Bailey campaigning as a Republican candidate for governor. A unifying message shared by the crowd was that the Sept. 10 killing of Kirk by a sniper’s bullet took something personal away from each of them, something that touches their faith. “When we exchange ideas as a society, we win,” State Rep. Jed Davis, R-Newark, said to the crowd. “When you start to silence that opportunity, that God-given right the founders of this nation wrote into the Constitution, that we have the right to free speech, the right to have free and open dialogue, when that is silenced, the people lose.” Kicking off his election tour, Bailey, a former Republican state senator, called Kirk’s killing a tragic loss of “a great American treasure.” He brought up Abraham Lincoln’s prescient warning. “He warned that if we as America falter and lose our freedom, it won’t happen from outside our borders, but it will happen from within,” Bailey said during the rally. “We’ve got a governor who’s using all of this as rhetoric against us to make life more unsafe for us.” In an interview, Bailey was asked what can be done to tone down political violence. “We need to focus on the people that we’re electing, because we have to bring unity to this nation,” Bailey said. “We look for a stronger and different candidate to take that position, a leader who’s bold and courageous and desires unity instead of division.”)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: A GOP chairman was slammed as a “dork *** loser” after he criticized a gruesome political stunt that occurred at “Riot Fest” in Chicago. DuPage County, Illinois GOP Chairman Kevin Coyne went viral on Monday after criticizing a gruesome political stunt at “Riot Fest” in a now-deleted post to X. Riot Fest ’25 occurred on September 19 through September 21 at Douglass Park in the City of Chicago. According to The New York Post, during a performance by GWAR, a metal band that was first formed back in 1984, band members performed a mock beheading of Elon Musk, as well as a mock killing of President Donald J. Trump. While the band is known for its grotesque stunts, several social media users voiced criticism due to the political environment in the United States following the assassination of conversative activist Charlie Kirk. “That’s not edgy, it’s grotesque and reckless and normalizes violence against a real person. This is not okay. Riot Fest and GWAR crossed a major line,” a social media user wrote, per The Post. Screenshots of the now-deleted post appear to show that Coyne, who was in attendance at Riot Fest, wrote the following in reaction to GWAR’s stunt: “Riot Fest, it’s always so …. Interesting. Could’ve done without all the politics from the stage but it was fun nonetheless. Apparently we can’t even go to concerts now without the political divide being tossed in our faces. We’ll still go back but it was obnoxious.” The screenshot appears to show that Coyne’s post was seen more than 2.5 million times before being deleted. The message is followed by an @ to an apparent parody Riot Fest account, which boasts more than 95,000 followers. The Riot Fest parody account responded to Coyne’s criticism, writing the following, according to a screenshot: “Shut the (expletive) up you dork (expletive) loser.

https://dupagepolicyjournal.com/stories/675484139-protesters-removed-by-police-after-disrupting-charlie-kirk-prayer-rally-in-wheaton
https://x.com/DuPageCountyGOP/status/1972019256188641431
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Police removed a small group of protesters Sunday night who disrupted a prayer rally in Wheaton honoring the late conservative activist Charlie Kirk. The event drew about 1,500 attendees and was organized by local church leaders and Decision Point USA. The prayer rally took place under the French Market Pavilion in downtown Wheaton. Organizers said the event was held to pray for revival in the city, schools, churches, and the nation. “In this moment of grief and urgency, we believe God is our only hope,” a flyer from Decision Point USA said. “Together, we will lift our voices and ask Him to raise up courageous leaders, heal our land and pour out His Spirit on the next generation.” The meeting was organized by leaders from four churches in the Wheaton area who said they believe this time is an opportunity for community revival. The rally, structured around Christian worship and calls for unity, was briefly disrupted when several protesters, some masked and carrying signs, began shouting during a moment of prayer. “Bruha started by the few but noisy and disrespectful protestors during the prayer at the Wheaton Charlie Kirk Memorial tonight,” user Babette Holder said in a Facebook post. Wheaton police responded and escorted the protesters from the area. The rally continued as planned, ending with hymns “I Have Decided to Follow Jesus” and “In Christ Alone.” Photos from the event showed protesters holding signs with messages such as “Honoring Charlie Kirk = Honoring Racism, Bigotry, Misogyny” and “I do not support what happened to Charlie but Charlie supported what happened to Charlie.” One protester wore a shirt with “Palestine” printed on it, while another’s shirt displayed a profanity directed at President Donald Trump and his supporters. . .According to reports, the protesters were allegedly affiliated with Mutual Aid Dawning (MAD), a Glen Ellyn-based group formed during the 2020 Black Lives Matter protests in Chicago. Those protests involved widespread property damage and arrests. MAD’s website describes the group as “intergenerational, largely non-religious and queer with sexualities and genders across the spectrum.” The group identifies with anti-capitalist and anti-colonial ideologies. The website includes political education materials referencing historical figures, including Mao Zedong. Critics have noted Mao’s legacy includes responsibility for millions of deaths and ongoing repression in China. MAD describes the suburban communities where it organizes as “highly resourced yet highly unengaged,” and states its goal is to challenge perceived complicity in systems of oppression. Though the protesters were few in number, their presence drew concern among attendees and organizers, who said the disruption highlighted a broader cultural and political divide. Breakthrough Ideas, an organization led by former state representative Jeanne Ives, responded to the event by calling for “more speech, not less,” and said Kirk’s vision based on constitutional and biblical principles must be defended publicly. “They’re hoping (Kirk’s) murder isn’t a real Turning Point in America,” the group said in a newsletter. “They hope people don’t start to evaluate the culture and realize that the Left has been feeding children, young adults, and even boomers progressive nonsense that debases society and breaks the social and constitutional contract that citizens in a free society should have with each other.”)

— The impending retirement that could rock Capitol Hill. The director of the Government Accountability office will step down in a few short months, leaving a void atop the agency that has found the White House guilty of violating congressional spending law. DIERSEN: GAO falsely claims to be nonpartisan. The Democrats who run GAO hate Republicans. Anyone who reads the filings in Diersen v. GAO ( https://gopillinois.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/DiersenGAOFifthAmendedComplaint.pdf ) would see that. Because I am a Republican, the Democrats who ran GAO 1980-1997 used the subjectivity in their job assignment and performance appraisal systems, up-or-out, Affirmative Action and DEI, that is, race and gender based preference giving, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, religious discrimination, and national origin discrimination, and Gingrich budget cuts to waste my career and to force me to retire when I was 49 in 1997. They rudely flushed down their toilets what I had learned a) working for GAO for almost 18 years and for IRS for almost 9 years before that, b) earning three job-related master’s degrees (business, accounting, and finance), c) earning six job-related professional certifications (accounting, internal auditing, fraud examination, government financial management, financial services auditing, and forensic accounting, and d) becoming a licensed CPA.
https://www.politico.com/news/2025/09/17/gao-trump-impoundment-spending-00569967
(FROM THE ARTICLE: More than three dozen lawmakers are already planning to leave Congress next year. But there’s another impending legislative branch retirement that could have major implications in Washington. Comptroller General Gene Dodaro, who heads the Government Accountability Office, hits the end of his 15-year term in late December and will be forced to vacate the post that occupies an increasingly crucial — and politically charged — oversight role. The comptroller general is uniquely empowered to call out the president for breaking the law by withholding federal cash, and Dodaro has done so repeatedly over the past eight months — putting himself at the center of a largely partisan fight over President Donald Trump’s funding moves that has exacerbated tensions between the White House and Capitol Hill. Now Trump gets to nominate Dodaro’s replacement, and key lawmakers are only just starting to take stock of a paradox: A president who continually tests the bounds of Congress’ spending powers gets to pick the legislative branch’s chief watchdog. “It sets up a very bad situation,” Sen. Brian Schatz of Hawaii, the next Senate Democratic whip and a senior appropriator, said in an interview. “Among the things to be alarmed about, this is a new one.” The stakes are high: Whoever ends up running GAO once Dodaro’s term ends will be able to bolster, or undermine, Congress’ defenses against Trump in the separation-of-powers battle the president is stoking by terminating, freezing and reallocating hundreds of billions of dollars Congress previously approved. “When one party controls the Senate, the House and the White House, there’s a tendency to rally around the president and to do what the president wants,” said David Walker, Dodaro’s predecessor and the only living former GAO director. “But somebody’s got to be able to be the independent referee, and to try to do what they think is in the interest of the institution, the Congress and the country. And that’s what the comptroller general is.” All of this is taking place as Trump administration officials and some congressional Republicans have been trying to downsize and discredit the watchdog. That has included publicly questioning the GAO’s authority and accusing the agency of siding with Democrats in its multiple determinations that the White House unlawfully flouted Congress’ “power of the purse.” White House budget director Russ Vought said this month that GAO is “a quasi-legislative independent entity … something that shouldn’t exist. There have been other slights, too. In the Senate, the GAO told Republicans they could not skirt the filibuster in voting to override California’s pollution standards; Republicans did so anyway. In the House, GOP lawmakers endorsed cutting the agency’s roughly $800 million budget in half for the upcoming fiscal year. And Elon Musk, prior to leaving the Trump administration, attempted to send in a Department of Government Efficiency team to assess the GAO for mass staff reductions. Meanwhile, the legislative branch writ large has become more broadly vulnerable to the White House’s whims, seen most starkly in Trump’s abrupt firing of the librarian of Congress and the registrar of copyrights. It’s not yet clear what the Dodaro succession plan will look like; a White House spokesperson did not respond to a request for comment. A 10-member panel of lawmakers is supposed to recommend at least three replacement candidates for Trump to consider. By law, that group is composed of the top leaders in each chamber, the chairs and ranking members of the key House and Senate oversight committees and the Senate president pro tempore. However, most congressional leaders have yet to start hunting for qualified contenders, and furthermore seem largely unaware they have any role to play in filling the slot. “I don’t even know the process,” Senate Majority Leader John Thune said in a brief interview. “It’s been a while. This hasn’t happened on my watch.” Two of the would-be commission members had kind words for Dodaro, including Sen. Rand Paul, chair of the Senate Homeland and Governmental Affairs Committee. “I’ve always appreciated him, and I think he’s a straight shooter,” the Kentucky Republican said in an interview. Sen. Gary Peters (D-Mich.), the panel’s ranking member, said he “would want somebody like Gene, who has been a really solid member.” On the House side, Oversight Chair James Comer (R-Ky.) said in an interview he’s looking for the next GAO director to be “an aggressive person that looks for waste, fraud and abuse.” Comer added, “We want someone that communicates regularly with Congress, so we can kind of have an idea of what they’re doing.” But Trump could instead ask Republican senators to confirm a new watchdog of his own choosing — or forgo making a nomination altogether. It would leave a leadership vacuum at the top of the agency that not only monitors whether Congress’ spending directives are followed but is also empowered to examine the effectiveness of federal agencies on behalf of lawmakers. Further raising the stakes in confirming a new director, lawsuits are pending around the country challenging Trump’s withholding of congressionally approved funding, and a federal appeals court ruled this summer that only the GAO director can sue the administration for violating the decades-old impoundment law — not the groups that were set to receive the funding. Dodaro has so far chosen not to sue the Trump administration for withholding funding. But when he steps down, he’ll be able to pick an acting GAO director who also would have the power to file a lawsuit if they so choose. Still, said Molly Reynolds, head of governance studies at the Brookings Institution, “if you get a comptroller general in place who is Trump-friendly, that is going to foreclose that option” of GAO suing the administration. An acting director also wouldn’t be “in a position to make major transformational changes,” warned Walker, the former GAO director. When Walker resigned in 2008, he appointed Dodaro acting director, a title that stuck for more than two years because Congress and the president weren’t quick to work through the nomination process. Before that, it also took two years to formally install Walker in the post in 1998. Walker is now urging congressional leaders to recommend candidates who are willing to challenge executive branch officials regardless of who is president, as he did during his own tenure. A political independent who “leans Republican” and was confirmed by a GOP-led Senate, Walker sued the Republican vice president, Dick Cheney, for failure to provide GAO access to records. He is also agitating for lawmakers to quickly start the search for potential replacements: “There’s no reason that they shouldn’t be planning now so that they can end up trying to make a timely decision.”)

— Bid to atone for slavery’s sins ignites racially charged City Council clash. A resolution offering an apology to Black Chicagoans for the scourge of slavery passes overwhelmingly but sparks outrage when four Council members vote against the symbolic move.
https://chicago.suntimes.com/politics/2025/09/26/chicago-trump-slavery-apology-alderpeople-lamont-robinson-nick-sposato-city-council
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Four alderpersons voted against a resolution offering Black Chicagoans an apology for America’s enslavement of their ancestors, producing a racially charged clash within the City Council and a final roll call that one supporter called “appalling.” Alds. Raymond Lopez (15th), Nick Sposato (38th), Anthony Napolitano (41st) and James Gardiner (45th) sparked outrage from some of their colleagues for refusing to endorse the resolution, which ultimately passed. The measure sponsored by Ald. Lamont Robinson (4th) issued a formal apology from the City Council “to the Black citizens of Chicago for the historical injustices of slavery, segregation, systemic racism, and the policies that have perpetuated racial inequality.” It overwhelmingly passed 43-4 but not without fireworks at a marathon City Council meeting Thursday. “Shame on you!,” Robinson shouted after Lopez, Sposato, and Napolitano announced they would vote against the resolution. “You have to be able to share with your constituents, your Black constituents — in all damn 50 wards — why you would say no to this resolution. Shame on you!” Robinson said. While the City Council is no stranger to racially charged debates on how to address the city’s long, continued history of segregation and inequity, the “no” votes against the symbolic resolution came as a shock to some of the Council’s most level-headed members. “I was hoping this would be a unanimous one — of all the things we can unanimously support,” said Ald. Maria Hadden (49th), who is Black. “This is a surprising, shocking, appalling piece.” The debate played out against a national backdrop of the Trump administration’s crusade against diversity goals in government and businesses and its efforts to sanitize how Americans look back on the evils of slavery. This month, President Donald Trump ordered the National Park Service to remove from a Georgia historic site an iconic 1863 photograph titled “The Scourged Back” of a formerly enslaved man bearing the scars of past whippings on his back. Gardiner, a Northwest Side alderperson, didn’t explain his no vote. In a brief comment, Napolitano said he voted no because there has been “just as much harm done” to this city “over the last couple of years” as in the past. Sposato, a supporter of Trump, said he would not take responsibility for sins of the past. “There’s a lot of blame to go around, but certainly not the city of Chicago, certainly not my family,” Sposato said. “I apologize to absolutely nobody. I want my name off there. I do not want to be associated with this.” Lopez, a Southwest Side alderperson, said he wouldn’t endorse the resolution because Chicago’s “own economy was not slave driven.” Lopez noted that the city became a haven for freed men and women escaping southern slavery. Half a million people came to Chicago as part of the Great Migration. Lopez said the City Council should focus instead on how to correct current-day injustices “as opposed to constantly looking backwards.” “If we want to talk about the injustices to the Black community, I want to talk about where we have failed. We don’t have to look that far back,” Lopez said. Hadden acknowledged Lopez’s point that the city “didn’t directly deal in enslaved people,” but she rebutted that “the money that built this city and controlled the power did.” She further argued that Lopez and Sposato’s arguments against the resolution were “emblematic of some of the worst behavior that we’re seeing coming out of DC.” “Those who would accuse us of going backwards by recognizing fact and truth, I challenge that sentiment. We’re not the ones going backwards,” Hadden said. “Recognition and apology is part of repair… which are necessary to moving forward.” The resolution notes that slavery thrived in the Midwest after French explorers introduced it to the region in the mid-1700s. Even after Illinois was deemed a “free” state in 1818, state laws in place through the Civil War “subjected free Black residents to oppressive restrictions, including the denial of voting rights.” It goes on to state that following slavery’s abolition in 1865, Black Chicagoans continued to face racial discrimination through redlining, segregation, housing discrimination and other systemic inequities “which persist today.” Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson last year issued a formal apology from the city as a whole to Black Chicagoans through an executive order when he created a task force to study possible economic reparations for Black residents. Evanston, the city’s neighbor to the north, approved the country’s first reparations program for Black residents years ago.)

Your reaction to the Kirk assignation defines not only what you think of conservatives, it defines who you really are.
What do you say to people who paint themselves as being religious, conservative, and/or Republican and who hint/imply/argue/shout that Kirk brought in on himself by being too conservative? I should write about the aforesaid people. They destroy those like me who they cannot manipulate or 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 wrongdoing, and/or who refuse to give them money.

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.

Who would attend? Who would boycott the event?

— FRONT PAGE TOP OF FOLD: Student enrollment at Illinois’ regional universities is plummeting. Under the Democrats and under the RINOs, demographics trump everything. I earned a) a bachelor’s degree when I was 21, b) master’s degrees when I was 27, 31, and 48, c) professional certifications when I was 30, 32, 41, 45, 46, and 48, and d) a professional license when I was 32 I spent a tremendous amount of time and money doing the aforesaid. But could I find the motivation to do the aforesaid if I was young today? From what I see, fewer and fewer and fewer of those share demographics seek college degrees, professional certifications, and professional licenses. From what I see, it is because of ever-increasing Affirmative Action and DEI, that is, it is because of ever-increasing race and gender based preference giving, patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, religious discrimination, and national origin discrimination. Young people with my demographics ever-increasingly believe that it is not only not worth the effort, but that it is impossible. From what I see, ever-increasingly, America is up-or-out for those who share my demographics. If you share my demographics, you are written off and gotten rid of if you are not making say $150,000+/year by age 25, $200,000+/year by age 30, $250,000+/year by age 35, $400,000+/year by age 40, etc. In the federal government, the earnings deadlines are $117,807 by age 25, $139,211 by age 30, $163,749 by age 35, and $195,200 by age 40. Extremely few of those who share my demographics are able to meet those earnings deadlines. Because of my demographics and because I did not make any of the aforesaid earnings deadlines, my Democrat superiors in the federal government wasted my career and got rid of me.

— For The First Time In 40 Years, The Federal Government Can Judge Applicants By Merit. 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.

— The New Federal Hiring Process Explained: What Changed in 2025? OPM’s new Merit Hiring Plan dramatically changes the federal hiring process. 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 qualified myself for the Post Office job by passing the postal employment examination and by earning a high school diploma. I qualified myself for the IRS job by passing the Federal Service Entrance Examination and by earning a bachelor’s degree in business. I qualified myself for the GAO job by earning an MBA, by passing the CPA examination on my first attempt, by almost completing the requirements for a master’s degree in accounting, and by working for IRS for almost 9 years, the last 5 1/2 years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 Levels, currently $99,069-$112,280/year.
