— ‘ICE Academy’ training materials for warrantless arrests challenged in Chicago court. I should write about the 6 months of training that IRS gave me in 1971 to be a GS-7 (currently $55,850/year) Revenue Officer. SEE: https://www.google.com/search?q=IRS+%22revenue+officer%22+training Democrats run IRS and Democrats run GAO. GAO audits IRS. I transferred from IRS to GAO In 1980 after working for IRS for almost 9 years, the last 5 1/2 years at the GS-12 Step 1-5 Levels, currently $99,069-$112,280/year. Democrats do not want Republicans to audit IRS. My Democrat GAO superiors succeeded in keeping me off audits of IRS for all but 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for GAO.

(FROM THE ARTICLE: While in the Chicago area Friday, U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kristi Noem touted her department is in the midst of a hiring surge, with more than 80,000 applications received in the past week. To meet the demand, Noem said training at the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Academy that once took up to a year to complete could be hastened to a matter of weeks, if the applicant has the relevant training and experience. The ABC7 I-Team had a rare look at some of the ICE Academy training materials for new agents that immigrant rights advocates say is concerning and their lawyers argue is illegal.)

— Who wants to be the next chairman of the Illinois Republican Party? Leading a political organization is a thankless job. I served as an officer of the Illinois Center Right Coalition (ICRC) 2003-2007 and as the chairman of TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois 2005-2012. My critics/opponents ever-increasingly blamed ICRC and TAPROOT for losses that Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct suffered. My critics/opponents had their operatives and their dupes not only end my aforesaid roles, they destroyed the aforesaid organizations. I should write about my critics/opponents. They demonize me, denigrate me, and condemn me as being too conservative. 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/or Illinois. They have always been Democrat plants who have always done everything they could to destroy Republicans, and sooner or later, they will proudly proclaim that. – Dave Diersen

If I had used pot, a) the Post Office would not have hired me in 1966, b) Firestone Stores would not have hired me in 1970, c) IRS would not have hired me in 1971 or promoted me in 1972, 1973, or 1974, and d) GAO would not have hired me in 1980 or promoted me in 1986. If I had used pot, would not have been able to get married in 1978.
