ASSOCIATED PRESS
— POLL SHOWS MOST DOUBT TRUMP’S RESPECT FOR INSTITUTIONS (DIERSEN: My Democrat superiors in the federal government a) focused on hiring, retaining, and promoting Democrats, and especially Democrats who were minority, female, and/or young and b) focused on getting rid of their employees who Republican, and especially Republicans who were White, male, older, and/or non-veteran. The longer that I worked for the federal government, the more that I doubted my Democrat superiors’ respect for federal Civil Service laws, rules, and regulations. If they had respected Civil Service laws, rules and regulations, my Democrat GAO superiors would NOT have forced me to retire in 1997 when I was 49 years old, would NOT have always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes, would have promoted me beyond GS-13, would have assigned me to audits of IRS, and would NOT have forced me to take an $18,847 pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980. My Democrat IRS superiors would have promoted me beyond GS-12, would NOT have disallowed my education deductions in 1978, and they would NOT have disallowed my partial day per diem claims in 1974. My Democrat Post Office superiors would NOT have forced me resign in 1969 and would NOT have disallowed my sick leave requests in 1969 or 1968.)

WALL STREET JOURNAL
— Lousy Pay Raise? That May Be as Good as It Gets – Greg Ip (DIERSEN: What raises have you gotten? Since 1966, when I was 18 years old, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have been beyond furious that because of COLAs, step increases, and/or promotions, my federal salary increased every year that I worked for the federal government 1966-1969 and 1971-1997, except 1980 when I took an $18,847 pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO. While I worked for the Post Office 1966-1969, my salary increased from $15.56/hour to $16.60/hour in today’s dollars. While I worked for IRS 1971-1980, my salary increased from $44,853/year to $90,173/year in today’s dollars. While I worked for GAO 1980-1997, my salary increased from $71,326/year to $122,991/year in today’s dollars. In my defense, I earned a) a job-related bachelor’s degree when I was 21 and job-related master’s degrees when I was 27, 31, and 48, b) job-related professional certifications when I was 30, 32, 41, 45, 47, and 48, and c) a job-related professional license when I was 33.)

BLOOMBERG
— Immigration Not Enough to Halt Exodus From Biggest U.S. Cities – Vincent Del Giudice and Wei Lu (DIERSEN: Ever-increasingly, the Democrats who run Chicago, Cook County, and Illinois focus on driving out of Chicago, out of Cook County, and out of Illinois those individuals, organizations, and companies, that at 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. Ever-increasingly, business sides with foreign countries and with their citizens AGAINST America and AGAINST its citizens.)
https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2017-06-15/immigration-not-enough-to-halt-exodus-from-biggest-u-s-cities
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Immigration to the U.S. has failed to make up for the number of residents leaving New York, Los Angeles and Chicago — the nation’s top three metropolitan areas. Chicago — beset by crime, economic and budgetary woes and high taxes — is the net exodus leader among 100 metro areas tracked by Bloomberg using Census Bureau data for the year through July 1, 2016. An average 245 local residents left the Windy City each day compared with the arrival of 71 foreigners. Census doesn’t inquire about a person’s citizenship status. As Chicago struggles, so does Illinois. Last year, the net number of business establishments in the Prairie State fell by 1,235 from 2015, the worst performance of any state in the union, Bureau of Labor Statistics data show. For the nation’s third most-populous metropolitan area, foreign immigration “is the only offset we’ve got and it would be tragic to lose,” said Diane Swonk, chief executive and founder of DS Economics in Chicago.)
