— HARDCOPY ARTICLE TITLE: Ditch the resentment  A bad job can leave its mark – and that can hold you back.  Don’t carry a negative past with you.  It can affect your ability to make smart career moves. – J.T. O’Donnell  (DIERSEN: Yes, but what if the adverse actions that your former employer took against you are so severe that you can never get a job that is appropriate for someone with your education, work experience, professional certifications, and professional licenses?)

— Spotting the saboteurs  Insidious employees can slowly wreak havoc.  How to recognize them. – Jeff Haden  (DIERSEN: The Democrat Party platform promotes race and gender based preference giving.  My Democrat superiors in the federal government viewed their employees as being saboteurs if they did not promote the Democrat Party platform and especially if they refused to help them get rid of their employees who were Republican, White, male, older, and or non-veteran.)

DAILY HERALD
— FRONT PAGE: Where DuPage districts stand after summer contract talks – Katlyn Smith and Jessica Cilella (DIERSEN: Who demonizes you, denigrates you, and/or condemns you the most as being overpaid or having been overpaid?  For me, it is those who hate government employees and who especially hate federal employees. I worked for the federal government for almost 30 years. 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 its employees who are Republican, White, male, older, and/or non-veteran.)

— IMRF asks: Are Elk Grove Village officials eligible for pensions? – Christopher Placek  (DIERSEN: If you were challenged to show how many hours that you worked, what documentation do you have?  I have all the time sheets that I submitted GAO 1980-1997; IRS 1971-1980; Firestone Stores 1970-1972; University Plaza Dormitory 1969-1970; Chrysler in 1970; Post Office 1966-1969; John’s Sinclair, Thrall Car, and Flossmoor Country Club in 1966; and S.S. Kresges 1964-1966.)
http://www.dailyherald.com/article/20160815/news/160819463/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: One of the largest public employee pension systems in the state is questioning whether Elk Grove Village’s mayor and five of its trustees work enough hours to be eligible for pensions. A three-page letter sent by the Illinois Municipal Retirement Fund’s general counsel to village officials asks for documentation showing elected village board members work at least 1,000 hours a year — the threshold to be eligible for a pension.)

— GOP plunks down $500K on cable this week alone  (DIERSEN: How much money do your critics/opponents have?  My critics/opponents have many millions of dollars to plunk down against me.  Their operatives and their dupes talk and act like they have been promised if not already given lots of money, a new home, a new car, a sweetheart job, a sweetheart contract, favorable legislation, and lots more to stop me from putting GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails together and sending tem out, stop everyone from reading those emails, stop me from serving as a Republican Precinct Committeeman, stop me from serving as the TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois chairman, stop me from serving on the Wheaton Chamber of Commerce Government Affairs Committee, stop me from serving as the Milton Township Republican Central Committee webmaster, stop me from serving on the Illinois Center Right Coalition Steering Committee, stop me from serving on the American Association of Political Consultants Midwest Chapter board of directors, stop me from being a GAO employee, etc.  My critics/opponents have lots of religious, government, political, and/or financial clout in Wheaton, in Glen Ellyn, in Milton Township, in DuPage County, and in Illinois.  They make it clear that they will viciously destroy anyone who defends me.)

— Social Security Turns Eighty-One: Working Better Than Ever For America – Nancy Altman  (DIERSEN: Of course, needless-to-say, my critics/opponents are furious that in addition to my Civil Service Retirement System (CSRS) pension, I also get Social Security.

FORBES
— Trump Nation: Does Income Inequality Now Define The U.S. Economy? – Nathaniel Parish Flannery  (DIERSEN: What would your superiors say that they did to fight income inequality?  My Democrat GAO superiors would stress that they forced me to retire in 1997 when I was 49 years old, 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 $18,459 pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980.  My Democrat IRS superiors would stress that they did not promote me beyond GS-12, that they disallowed my education deductions, and that they disallowed my partial day per diem claims.  My Democrat Post Office superiors would stress that they forced me resign in 1969 and disallowed my sick leave requests.  My aforesaid Democrat superiors would stress that the aforesaid adverse actions that they took against me directly benefited their employees who were poor, and especially their poor employees who were Democrat, minority, female, younger, and/or veteran.)

ALBUQUERQUE JOURNAL
— New employee is greeted by cold shoulder – Dale Dauten and Janine J.T. O’Donnell  (DIERSEN: Of course, because I have always been a Republican, I was greeted with cold shoulders when I started working for GAO in 1980, for IRS in 1971, and for the Post Office in 1966. GAO hired me because it could not find a qualified Democrat, minority, female, younger person, or veteran who would take the job.  IRS hired me because it could not find a qualified Democrat, minority, female, or veteran who would take the job.  The Post Office hired me because it could not find a qualified Democrat, minority, female, or veteran who would take the job.  Additional reasons why I was greeted with cold shoulders was that many of my Democrat superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates disapproved of one of more of my demographics – draft dodger, conservative, baptized, raised, and confirmed as a Missouri Synod Lutheran, 100% German national origin, ancestors have been in America since the 1840s, White, male, older, non-poor, gun owner, etc.)

FEDERAL TIMES
— GSA updates per diem rates for 2017 – Aaron Boyd  (DIERSEN: SEE GAO DECISION:
http://www.gao.gov/products/463866  During the 1970s, IRS purposely kept its definition of “commuting area” vague so that it could use it to punish or to reward its employees.  When my IRS Democrat superiors succeeded in getting rid of the IRS manager who had promoted me in 1972, 1973, and 1974, they changed their definition of “commuting area” to punish me.  They would not have done that if I had been a Democrat, a minority, a female, or a veteran.)
