— HARDCOPY: How much difference will who’s elected president make to you? (COMMENT: If Harris or Trump is elected on November 5, 2024, my hate-filled Trump-hating critics/opponents in the Milton Township Republican Organization, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Illinois Republican Party will do even more to get rid of me. They will do even more to discourage/stop a) me from sending out my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters and b) everyone from reading my newsletters. They will blame me and blame my newsletters even more for the defeats that Republican candidates on the ballot in my precinct suffer on November 5, 2024. They will recruit a registered Republican voter in my DuPage County Milton Township Precinct 59 in Wheaton to run against me and to defeat me in 2026 for my Republican Precinct Committeeman job. If you were me, what would you do about the aforesaid?)

FROM ILLINOIS CENTER-RIGHT SOURCES
GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— Pot is poison. I led the successful effort to stop the sale of pot in Wheaton. Virtually all my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes a) have used pot, b) are using pot, c) want to use pot, and/or d) want to make money selling pot. I have never used pot and I never will. I have always vehemently opposed pot. If I had been a pot user, I would not have graduated in the upper 20% of my high school class, my ACT score would have been lower, and UIC would not have accepted me in 1966. I would not have earned a bachelor’s degree from NIU in 1970 and master’s degrees from Loyola in 1976, DePaul in 1980, and IIT in 1997. The Post Office would not have hired me in 1966, IRS in 1971, and GAO in 1980, and if they had hired me, IRS would not have promoted me in 1972, 1973, and 1974 and GAO would not have promoted me in 1986. I would not have passed on my first attempt the CPA examination in 1979 and the Certified Internal Auditor examination in 1981. I would not have become a licensed CPA in 1981, Certified Fraud Examiner in 1990, Certified Government Financial Manager in 1994, Certified Financial Services Auditor in 1996, and Forensic Accountant in 1997. – Dave Diersen

— Overqualified? As I worked for the Democrats who ran the federal government for almost 30 years, I ever-increasingly had more education and more professional credentials than my supervisors and superiors had. I earned job-related master’s degrees when I was 27 (1976), 31, and 48. I earned job-related professional certifications when I was 30 (CPA), 32, 41, 45, 47, and 48. I earned a job-related professional license (CPA) when I was 32. I worked for the Democrats who ran GAO 1980-1997. The head of GAO during that time, Charles Bowsher, was not a CPA and he was not a licensed CPA like I was. While my immediate supervisor during my last 4 years with GAO had a master’s degree and had passed the CPA examination, she had no other professional certifications and she was not a licensed CPA like I was.)
