WHITE HOUSE
— A CALL TO ACTION: Submit “Media Bias” Tips. DD: My critics/opponents despise/hate my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters. They have their operatives and their dupes monitor my newsletters closely for anything that the following do not like: a) Republican candidates, elected officials, and party leaders, b) conservative leaders, and c) religious leaders. To turn the aforesaid against me, they bring what they find to the attention of the aforesaid.
https://www.whitehouse.gov/articles/2025/12/a-call-to-action-submit-media-bias-tips/
(FROM THE POSTING: The White House recently launched a Media Bias Portal as a service to truth and transparency. Its purpose is to combat the baseless lies, purposely omitted context, and outright left-wing lunacy of the Fake News Media — a tall task that demands the help of everyone who believes in facts and accuracy over Fake News. That’s why the White House is calling on everyday Americans to support the truth and hold the Fake News accountable. By visiting whitehouse.gov/biastips , anyone can submit biased or undeniably false articles, and valid submissions will be used to keep the Media Bias Portal updated. So-called “journalists” have made it impossible to identify every false or misleading story, which is why help from the American people is essential. The days of the Fake News Media controlling the narrative with lies, fake anonymous sources, and willful bias are over. If the legacy media won’t honor their responsibility to accurately inform the public, we know the American people will.)

BOSTON GLOBE
— The dreaded performance review is, well, under review. DD: Democrat and RINO employers use performance reviews to get rid of their Republican employees. They paint their Democrat employees as positively as they can and they paint their Republican employees as negatively as they can. In Diersen v. GAO, I entered into the court record all the many performance reviews that my Democrat superiors gave me 1980-1997. None of them came close to justifying the many adverse actions that they took against me. They forced me to take a $23,472 (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980. They kept me off audits of IRS for all but 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for GAO. They delayed my promotions and never promoted me beyond GS-13. They always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance. They forced me to retire when I was 49 years old in 1997.
