— What should your Republican Precinct Committeeman’s top priority be now? Of course, it should be helping elect as many Republican candidates as possible on the April 1, 2025 ballot in their precinct. It would be great if county clerks would publish now draft sample ballots for each of their precincts. – Dave Diersen

— What were the biggest education decisions that you made? For me, they include a) getting accepted by UIC in 1966 and majoring in business, b) getting accepted by NIU in 1969, majoring in management, and earning a bachelor’s degree in 1970, c) getting accepted by Loyola in 1972, majoring in personnel management, and earning an MBA in 1976, d) getting accepted by DePaul in 1976, majoring in accounting, and earning a master’s degree in 1980, and e) getting accepted by IIT in 1992, majoring in financial markets and trading, and earning a master’s degree in 1997. What were the biggest professional decisions that you made? For me, they include a) passing the CPA examination on my first attempt which I did in 1979, b) passing the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981 which I did, c) becoming a licensed CPA which I did in 1981, and d) becoming a Certified Fraud Examiner in 1990, Certified Government Financial Manager in 1994, Certified Financial Services Auditor in 1996, and Forensic Accountant in 1996, and Forensic Accountant in 1997, all of the aforesaid which I did.

For me, they include a) to become a part-time postal employee in 1966, b) to become a Firestone Store Retail Sales Manager in 1970, c) to become an IRS Revenue Officer in 1971, and d) to become a GAO Analyst in 1980. One could compare and contrast the education, professional, and employment decisions that I made with the decisions that my critics/opponents made. My critics/opponents ignore, dismiss, belittle, badmouth, demonize, denigrate, and condemn the education, professional, and employment decisions that I made. I should write about my critics/opponents. I would focus on those whose parents had lots of money, who bought them cars, who paid for their college expenses, and who got them jobs. – Dave Diersen

My critics/opponents in the Illinois Republican Party, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Milton Township Republican Organization not only have no problem with the aforesaid, they applaud it.

NATIONAL REVIEW
— Five things to make the Air Force, which has struggled with wokeness, recruitment, and declining standards, great again. (COMMENT: While I worked for the Democrats who ran GAO 1980-1997, the agency ever-increasingly declined. The agency ever-increasingly dumped meritocracy. Its top priority ever-increasingly became hiring, retaining, and promoting Democrats who were minority, female, younger, veteran, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or had ancestors who had not been in America for a long time. That ever-increasingly rendered worthless my work experience, my three master’s degrees, my six professional certifications, and my professional license.)
https://www.nationalreview.com/2024/11/lets-make-the-air-force-academy-soar-once-more/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Whether it’s the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff stating in a congressional hearing that he hopes to understand his “white rage,” or an official memorandum about establishing “aspirational” race and sex quotas for officers, it’s clear that partisan ideology has supplanted competency as the defining attribute of our current military’s leaders. Nowhere has this leftward shift been more apparent than at the United States Air Force Academy and its newfound obsession with indoctrinating cadets in woke, anti-American ideology.

I did not take and pass the CPA examination until I was 30. I did not earn a master’s degree in accounting until I was 31. I did not take and pass the Certified Internal Auditor examination and become a licensed CPA until I was 32. By then, because of my bad demographics, the accounting profession viewed me as being far too old to have a successful career in accounting. In retrospect, with benefit of hindsight, I should majored in accounting from the beginning.)
