They ignored, dismissed, and belittled my earning an MBA from Loyola in 1976 and my passing the CPA examination my first attempt in 1979. They disallowed my education deductions in 1978.)

Those who dominate MTRO continue to blame me and my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters for all the defeats that Republican candidates on ballots in Milton Township have suffered since 2000.

— FRONT PAGE TOP OF FOLD: Candidates line up for Naperville, Wheaton school board elections
https://www.dailyherald.com/20241113/news/candidates-line-up-for-naperville-wheaton-school-board-elections/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: District 200  Six people — including three incumbents — already have declared their candidacies for four board seats up for election next year. Board President Rob Hanlon as well as sitting board members Angela Blatner and John Rutledge are running again. The other candidates are Katy Ebbesen, Brooke Gennaro and Amy Erkenswick. Last year, Erkenswick ran in a high-profile race with a slate of school board challengers who argued parents ought to have a greater say over their children’s education, who raised objections to graphic content in school libraries and who had green campaign signs. Erkenswick finished just 33 votes shy of winning a seat on the board. Rutledge, a former Wheaton city councilman, bested one of the slate members to secure a 2-year board position. Hanlon was first elected to the board in 2017. “Since the referendum passed, I want to see that work through,” said Hanlon, referring to voters’ approval of a plan to issue $151.5 million in bonds for significant upgrades to Edison, Franklin and Monroe middle schools. Noting the number of candidates, Hanlon said he expects “it’ll be a healthy debate.” “I think when you have more candidates involved, who are focused on kids, you have a better election, and the community benefits and the students benefit,” Hanlon said.)

GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— What do you hope that Trump will focus on?  I hope that he will focus on promoting personal responsibility, traditional marriage and family, right to life, enforcement of immigration laws, discouragement of pot, defending Second Amendment rights, and equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving). I hope that he focuses on discouraging the promotion of dependency on government and charity, LGBTQ, abortion, mass/illegal immigration, booze, gambling, pot, and other vices, diminishment of Second Amendment rights, and Affirmative Action and DEI, that is, race and gender based preference giving, patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, religious discrimination, and national origin discrimination. – Dave Diersen

— Nationwide, the majority of voters have dumped the Democrat Party platform and have embraced the Republican Party platform, but not yet in Illinois, DuPage County, Milton Township, Wheaton, and my precinct. It remains to be seen if the following will dump “Democrat Lite” and start promoting the Republican Party platform: a) leaders of the Milton Township Republican Organization, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Illinois Republican Party, b) Republican leaders of Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois, c) conservative leaders and activists, and d) religious leaders and activists. – Dave Diersen

I should start writing about those who dominate MTRO. I would focus on those who have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me. – Dave Diersen

The success that those who dominate the Milton Township Republican Organization (MTRO) have had in discouraging everyone from reading my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters was beyond obvious at MTRO’s meeting yesterday evening. – Dave Diersen

If I had, I would have passed the CPA examination and became a licensed CPA much sooner than I did. I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979. I earned a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980. I passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981. I became a licensed CPA in 1981. But by then, because of my bad demographics, I was considered to be much too old to have a successful career in accounting.)
