ABC7
— DuPage Democrats hold ‘Tesla takedown’ rally outside Lisle dealership, protesting Elon Musk’s DOGE. My critics/opponents despise/hate American nameplate cars. I currently own nine. They especially despise/hate Corvettes. I have owned a Corvette since 1971 and two since 2005.

(FROM THE ARTICLE: “I mean, here’s Elon Musk, working for literally nothing, giving up literally billions of dollars for his activism and his patriotism, and all he is doing is saving our country,” said Mark Rice, a Republican who ran in the 2024 election to represent Illinois’ 8th Congressional District. . .Calls for protests and boycotts of Tesla have revved up across the country with reports of vandalism against Tesla vehicles and dealerships. . .The DuPage County GOP chairman released a statement on the protest, saying, “It is ridiculous that the DuPage Democrats are harassing and intimidating a local business that has contributed significantly to the Village of Lisle’s economy. This is why the Democratic Party has the lowest approval ratings that it has had since there has been polling. We are not long removed from violent protests and looting that destroyed businesses across the suburbs. Of late, Tesla locations have been vandalized across America. This thinly veiled attempt by DuPage Democrats to cancel and scare a local business over political differences is repugnant. Americans are done with it and, increasingly, done with the Democratic Party.”)

CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— Pentagon is cutting up to 60,000 civilian jobs. About a third of those took voluntary resignations. During the 1980s and 1990s, because of Republican budget cuts, the Democrats who ran GAO cut 3,000 jobs or half of GAO’s workforce. Even though they focused on cutting their Republican employees who were White, male, older, non-veteran, Protestant, German American, and/or had ancestors who had been in America for a long time, I nevertheless survived until 1997. I would not have survived that long if I had not a) earned job-related master’s degrees in 1997 (finance), 1980 (accounting), and 1976 (business), b) earned job-related professional certifications in 1997 (forensic accounting), 1996 (financial services auditing), 1994 (government financial management), 1990 (fraud examination), 1981 (internal auditing), and 1979 (accounting), and c) earned a job-related professional license in 1981 (CPA).

In 1980, I was one of the last Republicans that GAO hired.

I have divided my precinct into four zones. It takes me about three/four hours to walk a zone. While I walk my precinct, I will get a measure of the success that hate-filled Trump-hating Trump haters have had promoting more hatred against Trump. Republican Precinct Committeemen are lightning rods for that hatred. 478 in my precinct voted for Harris. – Dave Diersen

If Gingrich had formed a team to reform GAO, I would have volunteered to be a member of that team. I would have stressed a) that I had worked for GAO since 1980 and the last 11 years of which at the GS-13 Step 1-10 Levels, currently $117,807-$153,151/year, b) that I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, c) that I passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt and became a licensed CPA in1981, d) that I became a Certified Fraud Examiner in 1990, Government Financial Manager in 1994, Financial Services Auditor in 1996, and Forensic Accountant in 1997, and e) that I earned an MBA in 1976, a master’s degree in accounting in 1980, and a master’s degree in finance in 1997.
