— What do your critics/opponents want you to do? My critics/opponents want me to stop sending out my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters and to resign as a Republican Precinct Committeeman. Previously, they had their operatives and their dupes a) end my Illinois Republican Party State Convention Platform and Resolutions Committee membership in 2024, b) end my service as the Republican fundraiser for Wheaton Independence Day parades and fireworks in 2021, c) gerrymander my precinct in 2015, d) end my TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois chairmanship in 2012, e) end my Illinois Center Right Coalition (ICRC) Steering Committee membership in 2007, f) almost got ICRC to censure me for my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters in 2006, g) ended my Milton Township Republican Organization (MTRO) webmaster service in 2010 and 2004, h) defeated my bid for the open MTRO Treasurer position by a vote of 69 to 13 in 2004, and i) got a registered Republican voter in my precinct to run against me for Republican Precinct Committeeman in 2000. – Dave Diersen

— According to Google AI, “The phrase “liberty and justice for all” concludes the U.S. Pledge of Allegiance and represents the foundational promise that every person in the United States is entitled to personal freedom and fair treatment under the law. What the Key Terms Mean. Liberty: The freedom to live your life, make your own choices, express your views, and practice your beliefs, all within the boundaries of the law and with respect for the rights of others. Justice: The guarantee that laws are applied fairly, that people’s rights are protected, and that wrongdoing or abuse of power faces appropriate consequences. For All: The inclusive commitment that these rights and protections belong to every single person—regardless of race, background, status, or identity.” But Democrat and RINO leaders ever-increasingly diminish the aforesaid phrase. My Democrat superiors in the federal government wasted the careers of and got rid of their Republican employees like me who were White, male, older, and/or non-veteran. The Democrat judges and justices in the Diersen v. GAO lawsuit I filed denied me my 7th Amendment rights. My RINO superiors in Illinois, DuPage County, Milton Township, and Wheaton continue to get rid of those under them like me who support planks in the Republican Party platform that they reject. – Dave Diersen

— Career limiting. What limited your career? Because I was not a Democrat, minority, female, or veteran, my Democrat superiors in the federal government used Affirmative Action, subjectivity in their job assignment and performance appraisal systems, up-or-out, and Republican-led budget cuts to waste my career, to take adverse actions against me, and to force me to retire when I was 49 in 1997. My Democrat Post Office superiors disallowed my sick leave requests in 1968 and 1969 and forced me to resign in 1969. My Democrat IRS superiors got rid of the IRS manager who had promoted me in 1972, 1973, and 1974, disallowed my travel vouchers in 1974, disallowed my education deductions in 1978, and never promoted me beyond GS-13. My Democrat GAO superiors a) forced me to take a $23,699/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS in 1980, b) delayed my promotions and never promoted me beyond GS-13, c) forced the GAO manager who had arranged my transfer and who was finally able in 1986 to assign me to audits of IRS and promote me to retire in 1987, d) always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance, and e) forced me to retire when I was 49 in 1997. – Dave Diersen

— Diersen’s GAO career. In a different America and a different Illinois, if I had been a Democrat, minority, female, and/or veteran, when was 31 in 1980, when I transferred from IRS to GAO, the Democrats who ran GAO would have a) given me a promotion to GS-13 to transfer, b) immediately assigned me to audits of IRS, and c) soon promoted me to GS-14, GS-15, and Senior Executive Service. I had worked for IRS 1971-1980, the last 5 1/2 years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 Levels, currently $100,059-$113,402/year. I had earned an MBA in 1976. I had passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979. After I transferred, I earned a master’s degree in accounting in 1980. I passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt and became a licensed CPA in 1981. I became a certified fraud examiner in 1990, government financial manager in 1994, financial services auditor in 1996, and forensic accountant in 1997. I earned a master’s degree in financial markets and trading in 1997. – Dave Diersen

WASHINGTON EXAMINER
— Laid off by Democrats? Conservatives step in to help Capitol Hill staffers. DD: During the 1980s and 1990s, my Democrat GAO superiors used Republican budget cuts to get rid of their Republican employees like me who were White, male, older, and/or non-veteran. No one stepped in to help them.
https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/videos/4803503/laid-off-democrats-conservatives-help-capitol-hill-staffers/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: When a group walked in filming to tell Cindy Hyde-Smith’s congressional staffers they were going to be out of a job come January, the confrontation went viral. Matthew Hurtt, the director of professional services at the Leadership Institute, saw an opportunity to offer something more constructive — helping them find what comes next. “There was widespread condemnation, on both sides, of the leftist activists who entered the Cindy Hyde-Smith office,” Hurtt told the Washington Examiner. Hurtt visited more than 45 House and Senate offices set to close at the end of the year, reaching out to about 1,200 employees affected by election losses. “I offered them Leadership Institute’s employment placement offerings,” Hurtt said. “Which is ConservativeJobs.com, our free online job portal, as well as career consultations, resume consultations, and networking advice.” Hurtt says the organization has offered career support for decades. He describes the Washington job market as one where professional connections can help people land their next opportunity. “For young professionals who are uncertain what the next couple of months hold, look at your skills, look at your network, and identify an opportunity that is a good fit for you,” Hurtt said. “By January 2027, you may land somewhere that you didn’t expect, doing something that you really love.” While losing a job can be stressful, Hurtt wants staffers to remain hopeful. ConservativeJobs.com is free for job seekers and employers and has hundreds of open job listings, with opportunities ranging from Capitol Hill and think tanks to journalism and private-sector roles. “There’s a vast network of thousands of employers who are fighting for conservative principles in their own way,” Hurtt said. “They want to hire people who reflect those values in those principles.” Hurtt’s message to displaced staffers, or anyone facing unemployment, is the next step may be difficult, but support (and new opportunities) are out there.)

— Massie Vows More Tough Votes for GOP in His Final Days. Representative Thomas Massie, the Kentucky Republican, said he would use his waning time in office to prod his party to vote for “sanity” and break with President Trump. DD: I am one of the ever-increasingly fewer Republican Precinct Committeemen in DuPage County and Milton Township who promote the following planks in the Republican Party platform: personal responsibility, traditional marriage and family, right to life, immigration, anti-vice, Second Amendment, and equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving).
https://www.nytimes.com/2026/11/11/us/politics/massie-trump-difficult-republican-votes.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: There is, famously, little love lost between the two men. Mr. Trump marshaled his power as the most influential force in Republican primaries to find and back a G.O.P. challenger to Mr. Massie, Ed Gallrein, who prevailed earlier this year in a race that became the most expensive primary in the country. “I think because I’m the only one who has broken from this administration, it was easy to make an example of me,” he said. But Mr. Massie’s electoral loss only appears to have emboldened the puckish congressman, an M.I.T.-trained engineer and self-styled homesteader who champions raw milk and has invented dozens of gadgets, including the tiny electronic badge he wears on his lapel that displays the national debt. Having extensively studied the precedents that govern the House, he recently took advantage of a little-used rule that allows any member of Congress an hour of time on the floor to rebut a colleague’s denigrating remarks. He invoked that rule in September, after a visibly annoyed Mr. Johnson dismissed his prediction that G.O.P. leaders would send the House home early to stymie progress on the second bill related to the Epstein files. Mr. Johnson called Mr. Massie’s comment “nonsensical” and made by someone “who is not participating as a full member of the Congress.” The result was a broadside by Mr. Massie that spanned his legislative career, from his work to release the Epstein files to the national debt. He also lamented what he suggested was the dumbing-down of Congress, at one point stiffening his arms and making mechanical-sounding noises to mimic what he called “robot” congressmen reciting speeches written by aides or generated by artificial intelligence. In the interview on Tuesday, he said he worried that once he was gone, no Republican would have the nerve or ability to employ the kinds of guerrilla tactics with House procedures that he had made his calling card. Mr. Massie has only been able to circumvent House leaders with the support of a handful of other Republicans who will also be leaving Congress next year.)

The IRS union came to my defense when my Democrat IRS superiors disallowed my travel vouchers in 1974. My Congressman Henry Hyde came to my defense when my Democrat GAO superiors pulled out all the stops to get rid of me in 1989. They had forced the GAO manager who had arranged my transfer from IRS in 1980 and who in 1986 had finally been able to assign me to audits of IRS and to promote me to retire in 1987. In 1989, they threw me off audits of IRS, they gave me a very bad job assignment, they gave me very unfair performance expectations, they gave me a very unfair performance appraisal, and they ranked me at the bottom of my coworkers for pay-for-performance.

While I worked for the Democrats who ran IRS 1971-1980, I earned an MBA in 1976, passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, and almost completed the requirements for a master’s degree in accounting. While I worked for the Democrats who ran GAO 1980-1997, I earned a master’s degree in accounting in 1980, passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981, became a licensed CPA in 1981, served on the Association of Government Accountants Chicago Chapter Executive Committee for 13 years 1983-1996, served on the Illinois CPA Society Membership Committee for 8 years 1989-1997, earned professional certifications in fraud examination (1990), government financial management (1994), financial services auditing (1996), and forensic accounting (1997), and earned a master’s degree in financial markets and trading (1997). None of my Democrat coworkers came close to doing what I did. To get promoted, all they had to do was to be “good little Democrats.”
