— After George Floyd’s killing, an outrage smoldering in older black people erupts – ANTHONY STANFORD (DIERSEN: One reason why Democrat minorities, Democrat females, and Democrat veterans are drawn to federal employment is that the federal government exempts them from its up-or-out policy. If you are a federal employee who is Republican, White, male, and/or non-veteran, the federal government gets rid of you if you fail to make GS-13 (currently $101,176) by age 25, GS-14 (currently $119,559) by age 30, GS-15 (currently $140,634) by age 35, and Senior Executive Service (currently $170,800) by age 40. Extremely few federal employees make the aforesaid promotion deadlines.)

— Details on Joliet mayor’s suspensions when he was a cop not found in Police Department files. Such records are typically kept ‘forever.’ – ALICIA FABBRE and ANGIE LEVENTIS LOURGOS (DIERSEN: While I worked for the federal government for almost 30 years, my Official Personnel Folder ( https://www.opm.gov/faqs/QA.aspx?fid=f3147708-7bef-4959-aea7-ddefb0dee9dc&pid=88acdc49-7f79-449e-863d-8bc5574107ca ) disclosed the adverse actions that my Democrat superiors took against me. My Democrat GAO superiors forced me to retire in 1997 when I was 49 years old, gave me unfair performance expectations and appraisals, always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes, did not promote me beyond GS-13, got rid of my mentor in 1987, 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 a $20,157 (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980. My Democrat IRS superiors did not promote me beyond GS-12, disallowed my education deductions in 1978, got rid of my mentor in 1975, and disallowed my partial day per diem claims in 1974. My Democrat Post Office superiors forced me resign in 1969 and disallowed my sick leave requests in 1969 and 1968. The aforesaid adverse actions would not have been taken against me if I had been Democrat, minority, female, and/or veteran.)

— Open your eyes and wallet, corporate America, to hire more people of color Ongoing protests about police brutality have forced important conversations about race and equality in the workplace. – Marlen Garcia (DIERSEN: I wanted a career in the automotive industry. That all ended in 1971 when I was 22 years old when Oldsmobile rescinded a job offer that I had accepted saying that it had just agreed to stop hiring Whites to settle an EEOC complaint. That directly resulted in a) Firestone Stores firing me and b) my accepting a job offer from IRS. Democrats and RINOs use Affirmative Action, Diversity, and Inclusion to get rid of Republicans, and especially to get rid of Republicans who are White, male, older, and/or non-veteran.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Seattle protesters currently occupying a six-block “cop free zone” that includes a shuttered precinct are now demanding things like free college and rent control on top of police reform following George Floyd’s death. A lengthy, 30-point list posted online by demonstrators, titled “the demands of the collective black voices at Free Capitol Hill to the government of Seattle, Washington,” is calling for sweeping changes in the justice system, health and human services, the economy and education. “We demand that the Seattle Council and the Mayor defund and abolish the Seattle Police Department and the attached Criminal Justice Apparatus,” reads its first point, adding that “existing pensions for Seattle Police” should also be wiped out.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: The apparent reversal on disclosure comes amid troubling signs for oversight of the $2.2 trillion pandemic relief package that Congress approved in March. The Government Accountability Office, which is responsible for preparing a required report on the spending by the end of June, has requested loan data from both the PPP and a separate program for economic “disaster” loans, but has not yet been told when the request will be honored, according to spokesman Chuck Young. “We are extremely disappointed to learn that GAO has had the same problems that we have had, and has not gotten the information they need to carry out their oversight function in the executive branch, as well as the difficulties we have in the legislative branch,” Senator Ben Cardin of Maryland, the top Democrat on the chamber’s Small Business & Entrepreneurship Committee, said during Wednesday’s hearing.)
