— I should write about my high-profile critics/opponents who stress that they are religious, conservative, and/or Republican, but who have taken many big anti-religious, anti-conservative, and/or anti-Republican actions. I would focus on those whose many big anti-religious, anti-conservative, and/or anti-Republican actions have been highlighted the most by the Democrat news media. I would focus on those who have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me since 2000 because I included links to reports of their actions in my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters. My high-profile critics/opponents want/expect/demand that I coverup their wrongdoing. – Dave Diersen

— What is your position on unions and grievances? I transferred from IRS to GAO when I was 31 years old in 1980. My Democrat GAO superiors took many big adverse actions against me. If GAO had been unionized, I would have filed grievances. My Democrat GAO superiors a) forced me to take a $23,472/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer, b) gave me bad job assignments and unfair performance expectations and appraisals, c) kept me off audits of IRS for all but 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for GAO, d) delayed my promotions and never promoted me beyond GS-13, e) always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance, and f) forced me to retire when I was 49 years old in 1997. They would not have done any of the aforesaid if I had been a Democrat, minority, female, younger, or veteran. – Dave Diersen

— Hegseth became a Second Lieutenant in 2003, Captain in 2011, and Major in 2014. My critics/opponents have always demonized me, denigrated me, and condemned me as having been a failed federal employee. But I became a) a GS-7 in 1971; that is equivalent to Second Lieutenant, b) a GS-9 in 1972, that is equivalent to First Lieutenant, c) a GS-11 in 1973, that is equivalent to Captain, d) a GS-12 in 1974, that is equivalent to Major, and e) a GS-13 in 1986, that is equivalent to Lieutenant Colonel. – Dave Diersen

— Democrats say that DOGE is turning into a Democratic candidate recruitment tool. How dependent on federal spending are the voters in America, Illinois, your county, your township, your municipality, your school district, and your precinct? From what I see, the more of the following that voters are, the more dependent that they are on federal spending: liberal/moderate, non-Republican, minority, female, younger, LGBTQ, unmarried, pregnant, non-rich, veteran, disabled, non-Protestant, non-German American, have ancestors who have not been in America for a long time, citizens of foreign countries, in America illegally, boozers, gamblers, stoners, criminals, etc. According to Democrats, those who are the aforesaid are discriminated against, marginalized, and oppressed by Republicans. – Dave Diersen

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Conservatism is rooted in a philosophy of personal responsibility. How you conduct yourself as an individual matters. Living your life in line with conservative principles pays dividends far more often than cheating and lying your way through relationships and politics. . .People pretend that personal and political lives are separate. They’re not. The two facets, political and personal, are interconnected. As the GOP has embraced men who have conducted themselves poorly in their personal lives, the party’s commitment to conservative political principles have crumbled.)
