DD: What motivates you to come to the teacher’s defense? For me, it is the many big adverse actions that my Democrat superiors in the federal government took against me a) because I complained about their race and gender based preference giving, patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination and b) because I became an active member in a class action lawsuit when I was 40 in 1988 that charged them with reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation.

GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— To what extent are Democrat leaders succeeding in promoting hatred against Republicans in your county, township, municipality, school district, and precinct? I will get a measure of that in my precinct when I hand-deliver sample ballots and Republican campaign literature to the 400 residences in my precinct that have at least one registered Republican or one Not Affiliated voter. Since 2015, sadly, I have encountered many registered voters in my precinct who continue to be filled with hatred against Trump, who blame Trump for all problems, and who take their hatred against Trump out on me. – Dave Diersen

— What things protect you from adverse actions? For me, they include my Civil Service Retirement System pension, my Social Security, my retirement savings, the federal government paying 72% of my and my wife’s healthcare insurance premiums, my not having any debts or dependents, my litigation experience that I gained from my filing lawsuits, etc. – Dave Diersen

I washed dishes for the minimum wage for 40 hours a week during the summer of 1965. I did that to earn money to pay for my UIC expenses and for a new car to commute to/from my parents’ home in Crete and classes at UIC. I worked 28 hours a week doing that during my junior and senior years 1964-1966.

— Can Trump make buying a home more affordable? DD: Back in the good old days, that is, back when I was 24 in 1972, I was able to buy a new townhome ( https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/774-Sunset-Ct-5-University-Park-IL-60484/5451474_zpid/ ). The down payment came from the money I earned working for IRS for 15 months and for a Firestone Store part-time for 18 months and full-time for 7 months before that. That money I earned also enabled me to buy a new 1972 Corvette in 1971 and to pay for four graduate evening business courses at Loyola in 1972.

DUCKWORTH
— Duckworth Implores Trump to Expand IVF Coverage for federal employees. DD: Do you know anyone with fertility problems who could have tried IVF but did not? My Democrat GAO superiors knew full-well that my wife’s healthcare insurance covered IVF, but that we nevertheless gave up trying to have children without trying IVF. They knew full-well, but ignored/dismissed/belittled, the fact that our doctors had advised against us trying it. They knew full-well that I had big problems with my sperm and that my wife had big problems with her eggs. They knew full-well that we did not adopt or become foster parents. They viciously used the aforesaid to demonize, denigrate, and condemn us being selfish filthy rich DINKS. They constantly complained about the tremendous amount of time and money that they spent raising their children and decried their spouses having little or no income. According to them, if we had children, I would not have been able to a) pass the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, b) afford to take a $23,699/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980, c) earn a master’s degree in accounting in 1980, d) pass the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981, e) become a licensed CPA in 1981, f) get promoted in 1986, g) etc. According to them, if we had children, we would not have been able to a) buy a home in Wheaton and two new cars in 1978, b) have a home built in Wheaton in 1984, c) go on four vacations a year after my wife’s business trips to luxury resorts across America 1978-1992, d) buy collector cars in 1989 and 1994, e) etc.

FOUNDATION FOR INDIVIDUAL RIGHTS AND EXPRESSION
— The campaign to crush free speech. DD: What free speech rights have you exercised, that is, what have you protested? While I worked for the Democrats who ran the federal government for almost 30 years, I ever-increasingly protested their political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination. I erroneously believed that my Civil Service protections allowed me to do that. But I ever-increasingly learned that only federal employees who are Democrat and are minority, female, younger, and/or veteran have Civil Service protections. If had had Civil Service protections, my Democrat Post Office superiors would not have been able to disallow my sick leave requests in 1968 and 1969 and force me to resign in 1969. My Democrat IRS superiors would not have been able to disallow my travel vouchers in 1974, disallow my education deductions in 1978, and never promote me beyond GS-12. My Democrat GAO superiors would not have been able to force me to take a $23,699/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS in 1980, keep me off audits of IRS for all but 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for them, delay my promotions and never promote me beyond GS-13, always rank me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance, and force me to retire when I was 49 years old in 1997.

I should write about the many big adverse actions that my Democrat superiors took against me not only because I am a Republican, but also a) because I avoided the Vietnam War draft, b) because I complained about their race and gender based preference giving, patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination, and c) because I became an active member in a class action lawsuit when I was 40 in 1988 that charged them with reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation. My Democrat superiors blamed Republicans for America losing the Vietnam War.

— Woman Shares Marriage Views, Gives Qualities Her Ideal Partner Must Have. DD: Democrat leaders ever-increasingly destroy traditional marriage. What helped you become marriage material? By the time I got married when I was 29 in 1978, I had worked for IRS for almost 7 years and my salary was $110,066/year in today’s dollars. I had earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976 and I was taking graduate evening accounting courses at DePaul. I lived in a one bedroom condo in the Outer Drive East building that I had bought in 1976. I was renting out a town home in University Park that I had bought new in 1972. I owned a 1972 Corvette that I had bought new in 1971. Things that impressed me about my outstanding wife included that her first job after high school was working for the FBI. She soon became the Corporate Secretary for the U.S. League of Savings Institutions. She did much to help elect Big Jim Thompson governor in 1976. She earned a bachelor’s degree in finance from DePaul in 1986.
