— Potential Lisa Madigan successors scramble to raise campaign cash
http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/politics/ct-lisa-madigan-campaign-cash-20170922-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Republican candidate for attorney general Erika Harold on Thursday sent an email to supporters calling an upcoming fundraising goal the “first challenge” of her campaign. Harold has raised more than $40,000 in the month since the former Miss America and unsuccessful candidate for Congress announced her bid, according campaign reports. About $34,000 of that came from the Illinois Republican Party paying for media production, records show.)
— Surging stock market powers U.S. wealth to $96.2 trillion – AP (DIERSEN: What are the main reasons why you have less money? For me, the main reasons are: a) my Democrat GAO superiors forced me to retire in 1997 when I was 49 years old, always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes, did not promote me beyond GS-13, kept me off audits of IRS for all but 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for GAO, and forced me to take an $18,847 pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980; b) my Democrat IRS superiors did not promote me beyond GS-12, disallowed my education deductions in 1978, and disallowed my partial day per diem claims in 1974; and c) my Democrat Post Office superiors forced me resign in 1969 and disallowed my sick leave requests in 1969 and 1968.)

My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have always hinted/implied/argued/shouted that all the jobs that had were bad jobs and that they would never stoop to take them. I did yard work and delivered newspapers 1962-1964; washed dishes 1964-1966; cleaned golf shoes, chipped slag, and pumped gasoline in 1966; delivered mail 1966-1969; worked on an automobile assemble line and as a security guard in 1970; sold tires, automotive services, and major appliances 1970-1971; pumped gasoline 1971-1972; collected delinquent taxes 1971-1980; and audited federal agencies 1980-1997.)

— The bell tolls for liberty on campus – John Kass (DIERSEN: Ever-increasingly, colleges promote hatred of individuals, organizations, companies, governments, and countries that are Trump supporters, Protestant, conservative, Republican, American, White, male, older, rich, gun owners, German American, draft avoiders (except Bill Clinton), and/or those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time.)
http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/columnists/kass/ct-met-first-amendment-college-kass-0922-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: You may have once had doubts that the American left has spent decades feeding a weed that would grow to strangle American liberty. But those doubts have now been dispelled, haven’t they? Because a new survey of American college students by the Brookings Institution offers perhaps the most depressing forecast of the future of liberty that we’ve seen. It tells us that many of the most privileged people on the planet, American college students, are barbarously illiterate when it comes to understanding the freedoms given them by the Constitution. A barbarously illiterate people can easily be turned into an angry horde. It is dangerous work, yes, but it can be done. They can be herded, cynically, with prompts to emotion and calls to anger for short-term political gain. But having thrown away their understanding of their freedoms, such people cannot remain free for long. According to the survey, when asked if the First Amendment protected so-called hate speech, 44 percent of college students said no. And 16 percent said they didn’t know the answer. More than half, 51 percent, said they think that “shouting so the audience can’t hear,” also known as the heckler’s veto, is an acceptable tactic for silencing a controversial speaker. So just shout them down. Scream. Don’t engage, don’t ignore, and don’t bother to use reason and offer counter arguments to win the battle of ideas.)

IRS hired me in 1971 because it could not find a qualified Democrat, minority, female, or veteran who would take the job.

We pay only $5,763/year (25%) and the federal government pays $17,288/year (75%). Many millions have not and will not seek a job with the federal government a) because the pay and benefits are terrible, b) because the advancement opportunities are terrible, c) because they lack required education, work experience, professional certifications, and/or professional licenses, d) because they cannot pass an employment examination, e) because they cannot pass a background investigation, f) because they cannot pass a physical examination, g) because they cannot take the demonization, denigration, and condemnation that comes with being a federal employee or federal retiree, and/or h) because they are Republican, White, male, older, and/or non-veteran and they know that the federal government discriminates against the aforesaid.)

— CURRIE TO RECEIVE 6-FIGURE PENSION AFTER FIRST YEAR OF RETIREMENT The longtime House majority leader will benefit from a sweetener provision that grants massive pension spikes to career lawmakers after one year of retirement. – Austin Berg (DIERSEN: My $50,856 Civil Service Retirement System pension is dramatically reduced because my Democrat superiors in the federal government wasted my career and forced me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years old. But then again, that is want Democrat politicians wanted them to do.)
https://www.illinoispolicy.org/currie-to-receive-6-figure-pension-after-first-year-of-retirement/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: When she retires as majority leader, her salary will likely stand at over $91,000, including her base salary and leadership bonus. That means her first-year pension payment will be more than $77,000. Then the spikes kick in. Her second-year pension will total more than $121,000, according to GARS rules.)

They blame me for their problems, for your problems, for my problems, and for everyone’s problems. They demonize me, denigrate me, and condemn me a) because I oppose the promotion of booze, gambling, pot, and other vices, b) because I oppose the promotion of LGBTQ activity, c) because I oppose the promotion of abortion, d) because I oppose the promotion of mass/illegal immigration, e) because I oppose race and gender based preference giving, f) because I oppose age discrimination, g) because I oppose patronage, and h) because I oppose political affiliation discrimination. They disapprove of if not hate my demographics: Trump supporter, baptized, raised, and confirmed as a Missouri Synod Lutheran, conservative, Republican, American, White, male, older (68), non-poor, gun owner, 100 % German American, draft avoider, my ancestors have been in America since 1844, former federal employee, federal retiree, former union member, childless, pet-less, American nameplate car owner, etc. They are furious a) because I refuse to pander to them, b) because I refuse to serve as one of their operatives or dupes, c) because I refuse to give them money, d) because I supported one of their opponents in a primary race, and/or e) because I sued them.)

GAO audits IRS.
