— Volunteer work is the best remedy for our anxious times (COMMENT: What volunteer work do you do? I spend 15+ hours each and every day and thousands of dollars every year putting GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters together and sending them out every day. Those newsletters promote the Republican Party platform. What motivates you to do the volunteer work that you do? For me, it is filling the tremendous void in communication from the Illinois Republican Party (IRP), DuPage County Republican Central Committee (DCRCC), and Milton Township Republican Organization (MTRO). The IRP should be doing what I do for Illinois Republicans daily. The DCRCC and MTRO should be doing what I do for DuPage County and Milton Township Republicans at least weekly. Political organizations exist to help elect candidates in their jurisdictions who can and will defend and advance their platform. Democrat organizations do not have to do what I do because the mainstream news media promotes the Democrat Party platform.)

My critics/opponents hinted/implied/argued/shouted that I was grossly overpaid ($153,151/year in today’s dollars) and that I must be an extremely bad employee because I was forced to retire even though I had three job-related master’s degrees (1997, 1980, and 1976), six job-related professional certifications (1997, 1996, 1994, 1990, 1981, and 1979), and a job-related professional license (1981).)

My Democrat IRS superiors took adverse actions against me and wasted my career. GAO audits IRS. I transferred from IRS to GAO when I was 31 years old in 1980. To waste my GAO career and to get rid of me, my Democrat GAO superiors succeeded in keeping me off audits of IRS for the almost 18 years that I worked for GAO, except for 3 years 1986-1988.)

— To end Affirmative Action and DEI is to end a) race and gender based preference giving, b) patronage, c) political affiliation discrimination, d) reverse discrimination, e) age discrimination, f) religious discrimination, and g) and national origin discrimination. – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com
— How would your life been different if Democrats had not had Affirmative Action and DEI to use against Republicans? For me, the federal government would have promoted me into its Senior Executive Service, currently $195,200/year, long before I was 40 years old. I had three job-related master’s degrees (business, accounting, and finance), six job-related professional certifications (accounting, internal auditing, fraud examination, government financial management, financial services auditing, and forensic accounting), and a job-related professional license (CPA). None of my coworkers who my Democrat superiors promoted over me had anything close to that. – Dave Diersen

— A big reason why I got virtually no sympathy when my Democrat GAO superiors forced me to retire when I was 49 years old in 1997 was that that I immediately started getting a Civil Service Retirement System pension of $66,780/year in today’s dollars and that the federal government continues to pay 72% of my and my wife’s health care premiums. But in today’s dollars, my GAO salary was $153,151, and therefore, I suffered a $86,371/year or 56% loss of income. But virtually everyone accepted back then and continues to accept the hinting/implying/arguing/shouting from my critics/opponents that I was grossly overpaid. – Dave Diersen

With Affirmative Action and DEI, the women who they hired could always get better jobs elsewhere. All the women who my employers promoted over me a) had less work experience than I had b) had less education than I had, c) had no professional certifications or fewer than I had, and/or d) had no professional license like the one that I had.

— Astounding Social Security Bonus! (COMMENT: My Social Security ($3,000/year) is only about a third of what it should be ($9,000/year) because I get a Civil Service Retirement System pension ($67,000/year). Because Biden signed a law that ended that reduction, I will get about $6,000 for 2024 and $750/month instead of $250/month starting this year.)
