BELLEVILLNEWS DEMOCRAT
— How much does an Illinois resident need to make annually to ‘live comfortably? A single adult in Illinois needs to make $98,010 per year to live comfortably. DD: Back in the good old days, when I was 25 years old in 1974, my Democrat IRS superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates were furious when a) I got promoted to a GS-12 (currently $99,069/year) job in the Loop and b) I bought a studio condo in the Outer Drive East building. I had worked for IRS for 3 years. I had paid for and taken graduate evening business courses at Loyola since the beginning of 1972. I had bought a new 1972 Corvette in 1971. I had bought a new townhome in University Park in 1972. According to my Democrat IRS superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates, the promotion that I got should have been given to one of my Democrat coworkers who was a veteran, minority, and/or female. None of my coworkers were taking graduate evening business courses. My Democrat IRS superior soon a) forced the IRS manager who had promoted me to transfer to Dallas, b) disallowed my travel vouchers, c) disallowed my education deductions, and d) made it clear that they would never promote me to GS-13.

GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— What do you anticipate/expect that your critics/opponents will do? Sooner or later, all my “Republican” critics/opponents will switch parties, that is, they will officially declare that they have always been Democrats and that they despise/hate conservative principles and the Republican Party platform. My critics/opponents have had their operatives and their dupes take many big adverse actions against me. Since 2000, they have done everything that they could to stop me from sending out GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters and to stop everyone from reading those newsletters. In 2024, they rudely ended my membership on the Illinois Republican Party State Convention Platform and Resolutions Committee. In 2021, they rudely ended my service as the Republican fundraiser for Wheaton Independence Day parades and fireworks. In 2015, they rudely gerrymandered my precinct. In 2012, they rudely ended my TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois chairmanship and destroyed the organization. In 2010 and 2004, they rudely ended my service as the Milton Township Republican Organization (MTRO) webmaster. In 2007, they rudely ended my membership on the Illinois Center Right Coalition (ICRC) Steering Committee and destroyed the organization. In 2006, they rudely almost succeeded in getting ICRC to censure me for my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters. In 2004, they rudely defeated my bid to serve as the MTRO Treasurer. In 2004, they rudely ended my membership on the American Association of Political Consultants Midwest Chapter board of directors. 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. – Dave Diersen

With the money I earned, I bought a new 1966 Pontiac Tempest Sprint ( https://over-drive-magazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/1965-12-CD-1966-Pontiac-Tempest-Sprint-Test-1-4.pdf ) in May or 1966.

He said he wanted GAO to hire, retain, and promote Ivy League graduates who had degrees in public administration. That rendered worthless my 1976 MBA from Loyola, my passing the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, my 1980 master’s degree in accounting from DePaul, my passing the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981, my becoming a licensed CPA in 1981, my earning four more job-related professional certifications in 1990, 1994, 1996, and 1997, and my 1997 master’s degree in finance from IIT.

While I was a Post Office employee 1966-1969, an IRS employee 1971-1980, and a GAO employee 1980-1997, my Democrat superiors and supervisors who were veterans gave tremendous preference to their employees who were veterans. That is, they discriminated tremendously against their non-veteran employees who were Republican like me and who were White, male, older, Protestant, German American, and/or had ancestors who had been in America for a long time. I should write about that. Charles Bowsher, a veteran, who ran GAO 1981-1996 assured that GAO employees who were veterans would not suffer any adverse impacts from Gingrich’s massive budget cuts. My Democrat superiors in the federal government a) blamed Republicans for America losing the Vietnam War and b) used the Veterans Preference to punish their Republican non-veteran employees.

MED CITY NEWS
— The Continuous Glucose Monitor (CGM) Adoption Gap Is Worse Than You Think. DD: I have type 2 diabetes. I delayed using a CGM because my Medicare and BC/BS insurance does cover it. But recently, I bought a Stelo CGM using Amazon for $100/month. It has immediately shown that my glucose spikes to over 250 after I eat, that is, I have high hyperglycemia. I am anxiously awaiting my diabetes doctor’s instructions.
https://medcitynews.com/2025/12/cgm-diabetes-healthcare/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A new study found that continuous glucose monitors can cut healthcare costs by about 20% while also improving outcomes for insulin-dependent diabetes patients, largely by reducing hospitalizations and emergency department visits. Despite these benefits and broad insurance coverage, roughly 80% of eligible patients still are not using the technology — highlighting a significant adoption gap.)
