https://www.dailyherald.com/news/20191021/dupage-county-poised-to-vote-on-recreational-pot-sales-in-unincorporated-areas
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Larsen said he would be “shocked” if the board rejects the 3% tax on sales in municipalities. “I would expect everyone to support that,” he said. “We might as well get the revenue from it if we’re going to be dealing with the consequences of it.” Larsen said DuPage is expected to have increased law enforcement costs and other expenses as a result of the state legalizing recreational marijuana. “This is the only place we can get revenue to help deal with those costs,” he said. Last month, State’s Attorney Robert Berlin talked about issues other states faced after legalizing marijuana. He pointed to statistics showing Colorado experienced increases in property crime and violent crime. There also was an increase in the number of traffic fatalities with drivers testing positive for marijuana. County health department officials, meanwhile, said the availability of recreational marijuana is expected to increase use among adults and youths and hurt the health of residents. As a result, they are anticipating increased demand for public health services in DuPage.)

HARVARD BUSINESS REVIEW
— Why Your Company Needs to Implement Pay Equity Audits Now – Robert Sheen (DIERSEN: If a pay equity audit of the federal government was done, it would show that it pays its employees who are Democrat, minority, female, and/or younger more than it pays its employees who are Republican, White, male, and/or older who have comparable work experience, education, and/or professional certifications and licenses. While I worked for GAO 1980-1997, GAO always paid its employees who are Democrat, minority, female, and/or younger more than it paid its employees who are Republican, White, male, and/or older who had comparable work experience, education, and/or professional certifications and licenses. GAO audits IRS. When GAO hired me in 1980, I had almost 9 years experience working for IRS, the last 5 1/2 years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 levels, currently $82,579-$93,592. I had passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979. I had earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976. I had almost completed the requirements for a master’s degree from DePaul. Much of what I did for IRS, including interviewing, data gathering, summary, and analysis, report writing, and making recommendations was similar to what I would be doing for GAO. NEVERTHELESS, the Democrats who ran GAO required me to take a $19,568 pay cut in today’s dollars (a downgrade from GS-12 Step 5 to GS-9 Step 10) to transfer. They would NOT have done that if I had been a Democrat, minority, and/or female.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Terminating Employees Deemed “Poor Performers” First off, there is a smaller timeframe in which to improve poor performance. The executive order to streamline removal procedures for federal employees decreases the amount of time that employees are subject to Performance Improvement Plans (PIPs)—that provide employees a chance to improve their job performance following a poor evaluation or reprimand—to 30 days, government-wide. That window previously lasted between 60 and 120 days and was up to agency discretion as to the length of the PIP and/or extensions of the PIP. Federal employees should be aware of additional provisions in the executive order, which direct that:)

DAILY HERALD
— Why Intel is going to share gender, racial pay data most companies conceal – Bloomberg (DIERSEN: If the federal government shared such pay data, it would show that it pays its employees who are Democrat, minority, female, and/or younger more than it pays its employees who are Republican, White, male, and/or older who have comparable work experience, education, and/or professional certifications and licenses. While I worked for GAO 1980-1997, GAO always paid its employees who are Democrat, minority, female, and/or younger more than it paid its employees who are Republican, White, male, and/or older who had comparable work experience, education, and/or professional certifications and licenses. GAO audits IRS. When GAO hired me in 1980, I had almost 9 years experience working for IRS, the last 5 1/2 years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 levels, currently $82,579-$93,592. I had passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979. I had earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976. I had almost completed the requirements for a master’s degree from DePaul. Much of what I did for IRS, including interviewing, data gathering, summary, and analysis, report writing, and making recommendations was similar to what I would be doing for GAO. NEVERTHELESS, the Democrats who ran GAO required me to take a $19,568 pay cut in today’s dollars (a downgrade from GS-12 Step 5 to GS-9 Step 10) to transfer. They would NOT have done that if I had been a Democrat, minority, and/or female.)

— As more than 2,000 newspapers across the country have closed or merged, student journalists from Michigan to Arizona have stepped in to fill the void. – Dan Levin (DIERSEN: What void do you fill? I fill the tremendous communications void created by, continued by, and aggravated by the Illinois Republican Party (IRP), Republican county party organizations in Illinois including the DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Republican township/ward party organizations in Illinois including the Milton Township Republican Central Committee. The IRP should send out emails similar to GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails that focus on statewide government and political issues. Republican county party organizations should send out emails similar to GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails that focus on countywide government and political issues. Republican township/ward party organizations should send out emails similar to GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails that focus on township/ward government and political issues.

To get someone who is qualified to do what I do as your GOPUSA Illinois Editor, they would have to be paid at least $500,000 a year.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: “I pulled up a map for a friend of mine to illustrate how many conservatives were in his neighborhood; he had no idea,” Knoedler said. “He then told me that if only he’d known he was not alone on his street, he would have felt emboldened to put a candidate’s yard sign in front of his house.” Fuller said, “Conservatives are naturally less vocal about our political views, but having a community where we can encourage each other and organize to get involved in our communities will help members feel less alone.” Colorado is a launching group, but Fuller and Knoedler hope to expand to a national site.)

https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/washington-secrets/trump-campaign-to-sue-cnn-over-pro-impeachment-bias-demands-substantial-payment
(FROM THE ARTICLE: In a four-page letter to CNN, Zucker, and Executive Vice President David Vigilante, Trump attorney Charles J. Harder cited years of anti-Trump bias at the network and claimed the cable giant has broken its promise of “excellence in journalism.” Listing several examples from the just-released Project Veritas videotapes of CNN insiders describing Zucker’s demand for “impeachment above all else,” Harder wrote that they “are merely the tip of the iceberg of the evidence my clients have accumulated over recent years.” He added, “Never in the history of this country has a President been the subject of such a sustained barrage of unfair, unfounded, unethical and unlawful attacks by so-called ‘mainstream’ news, as the current situation.” Harder represents both Trump and the campaign.

https://www.hotcars.com/ford-car-model-drive-based-mbti/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: 2019 FORD ESCAPE For those who gravitate towards the limelight and love to own adorable white-bearded cats as pets, they are likely ESFPs. The ESFPs are typical extroverts who have an insatiable deep desire to please everyone and be the most popular person at any gathering. They are quick at making decisions and typically use their senses to take the information in and process it. If you are an ESFP, you can’t take chances by buying just any car. You need one that reflects your personality and when you are sitting in it, the jealous glances stalk your way into the sunset. You need the gorgeous 2019 Ford Escape which delivers an agile performance, incredible handling, and extremely potent throttle. . .2019 FORD MUSTANG The ESTPs are the Energy Bombs. These spirited balls love thrills and the car fanatics of this category have likely been to each and every famous annual car show known to mankind. If you are an ESTP, you most likely are an extrovert, use your senses and thinking capabilities for making decisions and getting hold of information, and perceive things in your own unique way. The best Ford model for an ESTP is the 2019 Ford Mustang, which comes packed with a gas engine so powerful, it earned the nickname of “Godzilla.” The car itself harkens back to 1968’s Bullitt, so this is definitely a vehicle intended for those who appreciate a touch of speed.)

My critics/opponents in Milton Township have lots of religious, government, political, and/or financial clout. They a) reject planks in the Republican Party platform and/or the Illinois Republican Party platform and work against those like me who support those planks, b) reject the MTRCC resolution against video gambling and work against those like me who support that resolution, c) focus on destroying those like me who they cannot manipulate/dominate, d) were defendants in lawsuits that I have filed, and/or e) are operatives or dupes for the aforesaid.)

Everyone in Illinois who claims to be religious, conservative, and/or Republican should speak out against recreational pot at municipal and county hearings. Especially the following should speak out against recreational pot at municipal and county hearings: Republican Precinct Committeemen and Captains; officers of Republican township, ward, and county organizations; Illinois Republican Party (IRP) State Central Committee members; IRP officers; the IRP National Committeeman and Committeewoman; activists; candidates; elected officials; major donors; political consultants; etc.)

— Facts Matter: With elections looming, watch out for fake news – Russell Lissau (DIERSEN: What qualifications do my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have to be fact checkers? While I worked for GAO 1980-1997, the last 11 years of which at GS-13 Step 1-10 levels, currently $98,198-$127,654, I increasingly worked as a referencer, that is, as a fact checker. That work required assuring the accuracy and support for each and every word, number, table, graph, chart, conclusion, opinion, and recommendation in GAO reports. I worked for IRS 1971-1980, the last 5 1/2 years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 levels, currently $82,279-$93,592. My other fact checking qualifications include my becoming a Forensic Accountant in 1997, Certified Fraud Examiner in 1990, licensed CPA in 1981, Certified Internal Auditor in 1981, and CPA in 1979. Further, according to my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes, my GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails are full of fake news. Needless-to-say, I should sue them. They stress that the neither the Illinois Republican Party (IRP), DuPage County Republican Central Committee (DCRCC), nor Milton Township Republican Central Committee (MTRCC) promote my GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails. They stress that I am no longer a TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois chairman, Wheaton Chamber of Commerce (WCC) Government Affairs Committee member, MTRCC webmaster, Illinois Center Right Coalition (ICRC) Steering Committee member, American Association of Political Consultants (AAPC) Midwest Chapter board member, GAO employee, etc. They stress the adverse actions that IRP, DCRCC, MTRCC, TAPROOT, WCC, ICRC, AAPC, GAO, etc. have taken against me.)

I want my Democrat superiors in the federal government to expunge from my employment record the adverse actions that they 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 $19,568 (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.)

Since 1966 when I was 18 years old, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have stressed to veterans that I avoided the draft. I sought and got four student draft deferments 1966-1970 and a financial hardship draft deferment 1970-1971.) 
https://www.nprillinois.org/post/mattis-takes-swipe-trump-i-earned-my-spurs-battlefield#stream/0
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Mattis said he’d been asked what he thought of Trump’s remarks, which reportedly came during a White House meeting with congressional Democrats on Wednesday. “I earned my spurs on the battlefield … Donald Trump earned his spurs in a letter from a doctor,” he said in a reference to a medical deferment for bone spurs that kept Trump from serving in the military during the Vietnam War.)

https://www.federaltimes.com/management/2019/10/17/union-disputes-opms-argument-for-reforming-personnel-management/

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Office of Personnel Management leadership under the Trump administration has frequently turned to results from the 2018 Federal Employee Viewpoint Survey that indicate feds’ dissatisfaction with reward and punishment practices to support dramatic efforts to both overhaul employee management and change the federal pay and benefits system. Most recently, the administration proposed changing federal practices to make it easier to discipline and fire under-performing federal employees. “Notably, as demonstrated in the Federal Employee Viewpoint Survey, a majority of both employees and managers agree that the performance management system fails to reward the best and address unacceptable performance,” the proposed rule change said.)

— Study finds higher teacher pay, smaller classrooms, more support staff, hindered by legacy costs – Cole Lauterbach (DIERSEN: In 1997, when I was 49 years old, by forcing me to retire, my Democrat GAO superiors turned me from being a productive employee into a “legacy cost.” I had almost 18 years of experience working for GAO. I had almost 9 years of experience working for IRS. I had 3 job-related master’s degrees and a job-related bachelor’s degree. I had 6 job-related professional certifications. I had a job-related professional license.)

— Illinois’ Congressional delegation warns tech companies: ‘moderate content or we will’ – Cole Lauterbach (DIERSEN: Anti-Republicans want the following to not only “moderate” GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails, they want the following to stop me from sending out the emails, and if not that, stop everyone from reading the emails: Milton Township Republican Central Committee (MTRCC), DuPage County Republican Central Committee (DCRCC), and Illinois Republican Party (IRP). Everyone can see that the MTRCC, DCRCC, and IRP do not promote GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails.)
