CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— Walmart’s DEI rollback signals a profound shift in the wake of Trump’s election victory (COMMENT: If American Presidents had been like Trump when I was young, my Democrat superiors in the federal government would have promoted me into their Senior Executive Service long before I was 40 years old years old notwithstanding a) my not earning an MBA until I was 27, b) my not passing the CPA examination until I was 30, c) my not earning a master’s degree in accounting until I was 31, and d) my not passing the Certified Internal Auditor examination and becoming a licensed CPA util I was 32.)

— Newly improved FAFSA student aid application released following last year’s technical woes (COMMENT: Did you apply for financial aid? I did not because my father earned too much money – $50,000/year in today’s dollars. Did you apply for an academic scholarship? I did not because my ACT score was only 24 and I only just barely made it into the upper 20% of my class. Instead, I washed dishes part-time for the S.S. Kresge in Chicago Heights at $12.41/hour in today’s dollars and saved all the money that I could to pay for my college expenses at UIC and for a new 1966 Pontiac Tempest Sprint to commute to/from classes and parents’ home in Crete. Things got better financially when I started working part-time for the Park Forest Post Office in November of 1966 at $18.99/hour in today’s dollars. But my GPA suffered because instead of studying, I worked all the hours that I could delivering mail.)

GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— Trump wants to cut federal employees. I worked for the Democrats who ran GAO for almost 18 years, IRS almost 9 years, and the Post Office almost 3 years. I was always on my Democrat superiors’ lists of employees who they wanted cut. I was able to survive that long because I earned a) a job-related bachelor’s degree when I was 21, b) job-related master’s degrees when I was 27, 31, and 48, c) job-related professional certifications when I was 29, 32, 41, 45, 47, and 48, and d) a job-related professional license when I was 32. – Dave Diersen

— How thankful are you?  According to my critics/opponents, I have never been thankful enough. They have always attributed all my successes in life to my benefitting from discrimination against those who share their demographics: liberal/moderate, minority, female, younger, LGBTQ, veteran, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or have ancestors who have not been in America for a long time. In my defense, I stress that neither of my parents attended college, my father was only the first of my ancestors to earn a high school diploma, my mother never attended high school, and I had to work my way through college. I should write about my critics/opponents. I would focus on those who have lots of religious, government, political, and/or financial clout in Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois and have their operative and their dupes take many big adverse actions against me. I would focus on those whose parents had lots of money and bought them cars, paid for their college expenses, and got them jobs. – Dave Diersen

I worked for IRS’s Collection Division as a Revenue Officer ( https://www.irs.gov/newsroom/how-to-know-it-is-an-irs-revenue-officer ) 1971-1980, the last 5 1/2 years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 Levels, currently $97,079-$110,020year.

https://nypost.com/2024/11/27/us-news/elon-musk-asks-if-the-irs-should-be- deleted-after-agency-begs-for-20-billion/

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/disgusting-ex-gop-rep-shreds-elon-musk-s-dangerous-attack-on-civil-service/ar-AA1uSZTX
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Former Rep. Joe Walsh (R-IL) slammed tech billionaire and Donald Trump ally Elon Musk for publicly naming examples of government employees he will target for elimination. “Shame on anyone who doesn’t have a problem with the wealthiest man on the planet publicly sharing the individual names of government employees he wants fired,” wrote Walsh, who went from being a Tea Party activist to one of the most outspoken conservative opponents of Trump. “Calling them out by name. Disgusting. Dangerous.” Musk, who helped Trump run critical sections of his campaign in the election and now heads up a MAGA task force on how to cut government spending, made the threats against specific employees earlier this week, according to CNN.)
— Is this the list of federal employees whom Elon Musk, Vivek Ramaswamy may fire? Here’s the truth. (COMMENT: While I worked for the Democrats who ran the federal government for almost 30 years, I was always on their fire lists. In today’s dollars I earned $150,075/year when I was 49, $110,020/year when I was 31, $97,079/year when I was 25, $54,728/year when I was 22, and $18.09/hour when I was 16.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: The viral list stemmed from X and DOGE has not issued any such list. The information shared on the screenshot are also from government records. For example, an X post said, “Nancy Pelosi’s niece should not be paid $181,648.00 by the US Taxpayer to be the ‘Climate Advisor’ at HUD.”)

— Musk’s DOGE May Cut These Federal Agencies (COMMENT: Republicans ever-increasingly cut GAO while I worked for the Democrats who ran the agency 1980-1997. They ever-increasingly took their anger at Republicans out on me, one of the few Republicans in the agency. I should write a book about that. They forced me to suffer a $22,996 (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO.  They delayed my promotions and never promote me beyond GS-13 even though I had earned a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980 and passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination and became a licensed CPA in 1981. They keep me off audits of IRS until 1986 when the GAO manager who had arranged for my transfer was finally able to assign me to audits of IRS and to promote me to GS-13.  But in 1987, they forced him to retire, and in 1989, they threw me off audits of IRS forever, gave me an very bad job assignment, gave me very unfair performance expectations, gave me a very unfair performance appraisal, and ranked me at the bottom of my coworkers for pay-for-performance (PFP) purposes. They never again assigned me to audits of IRS, they always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for PFP purposes, and they forced me to retire in 1997 even though I had earned job-related professional certifications in 1990, 1994, 1996, and 1997 and a job-related master’s degree in 1997.)

In my defense, I stress that neither of my parents attended college, my father was only the first of my ancestors to earn a high school diploma, my mother never attended high school, and I had to work my way through college. I should write about my critics/opponents. I would focus on those who have lots of religious, government, political, and/or financial clout in Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois and have had their operatives and dupes take many big adverse actions against me. I would focus on those whose parents had lots of money and bought them cars, paid for their college expenses, and got them jobs.)
