— Court Ruling Renews Debate On Women And The Draft – DAVID WELNA (DIERSEN: Were you draft bait? I was draft bait 1966-1971. Employers are extremely reluctant to hire, to retain, or to promote those who are draft bait. I graduated from NIU in August of 1970. During 1970 and 1971, potential employers did not believe that my application for a financial hardship draft deferment to help support my mother and brother would be approved. Consequently, in August of 1970, I took the only job that was offered me, a job that did not really require a college degree.)

ILLINOIS REVIEW
— WHERE’S WEYERMULLER? MINGLING WITH DUPAGE COUNTY GOPERS (DIERSEN: I had the honor of being at the table in the first picture in this article.)
https://www.illinoisreview.com/illinoisreview/2019/03/wheres-weyermuller-mingling-with-dupage-county-gopers.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: These are some of the issues in contention among the IL GOP faithful: Abortion 2nd amendment Border wall Illinois new minimum wage President Donald J Trump Some party leaders have indicated the IL GOP might have to take surveys of what Republicans believe and want for Illinois. Some Illinois Republicans do not wish to highlight these subjects. Many in the state – especially the conservative base – wants the party to ramp it up on these issues. The fact the Peter Roskam and Randy Hultgren lost their Congressional re-elections indicates they played it too close to the vest trying to be “moderate.” The days of Jim Edgar, Bruce Rauner, and Mark Kirk are over. To win elections in the future, Republicans need to go back to traditional values. Socialism and expansion of government with more tax, spend, regulate, and borrow needs to be shown that it doesn’t work. The Illinois GOP Platform needs to be inclusive, conservative, pro-family, pro 2nd amendment, pro less taxes, pro Trump, pro-freedom, and pro-America.)

https://www.nytimes.com/2019/02/28/opinion/ivanka-trump-social-mobility.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The key observation, based on a growing body of research, is that when it comes to upward social mobility, the U.S. is truly exceptional — that is, it performs exceptionally badly. Americans whose parents have low incomes are more likely to have low incomes themselves, and less likely to make it into the middle or upper class, than their counterparts in other advanced countries. And those who are born affluent are, correspondingly, more likely to keep their status.)

GALLUP
— Reparations and Black Americans’ Attitudes About Race – FRANK NEWPORT (DIERSEN: How much in reparations do your critics/opponents hint/imply/argue/shout that you should pay and why? My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have always hinted/implied/argued/shouted that I should pay lots of reparations because I am White, male, old (born in 1948), Protestant (baptized, raised, and confirmed as a Missouri Synod Lutheran), conservative, Republican, non-poor, draft avoider, I worked for the federal government for almost 30 years, that is, I held jobs that minorities and females should have had instead of me, and my ancestors have been in America since 1844. In my defense, my ancestors have always lived in northeast Illinois and they discriminated against no one. In my defense, in 1997, I succumbed to my Democrat superiors and took their early retirement “offer” so that they could my job and my preferred corner office to a Democrat minority.)
https://news.gallup.com/opinion/polling-matters/247178/reparations-black-americans-attitudes-race.aspx
(FROM THE ARTICLE: One key finding: Only 18% of blacks are satisfied with the way blacks are treated in this country today, compared with 51% of whites who say they are satisfied with the way blacks are treated. Well over half of blacks believe that blacks are treated less favorably than whites in dealing with the police, in stores and malls, and on the job. About half of blacks say blacks are treated less favorably in neighborhood shops, in restaurants and in getting healthcare. More than one in five black Americans say that within the last 30 days they were treated unfairly in stores, in restaurants or by the police. Slightly fewer, but still substantial numbers, say that they have been treated unfairly at work or in receiving healthcare. A slight majority of blacks are pessimistic about the future, saying that relations between blacks and whites will always be a problem in this country. Black Americans also clearly believe that government actions should be taken to help bring about change. Over seven in 10 blacks favor affirmative action programs for racial minorities in this country, and a majority of 57% of whites agree. Previous Gallup research has shown that about two-thirds of black Americans believe the U.S. government should play a major role in trying to improve the social and economic position of blacks and other minority groups in this country. Over seven in 10 blacks believe that new civil rights laws are needed in this country to reduce discrimination against blacks. What about reparations per se? Several polls in recent years have shown majority black support for the concept. A YouGov online survey in 2014 showed roughly six in 10 black Americans said that the U.S. government should offer cash payments and education and job training programs to the descendants of slaves. A Kaiser Family Foundation/CNN survey from 2015 found that 52% of blacks said that “as a way to make up for the harm caused by slavery” the government should “make cash payments to Black Americans who are descendants of slaves” (8% of whites agreed). A Marist poll from 2016 showed that 58% of blacks supported the idea for reparations for African-American descendants of slaves. Overall, blacks in the U.S. have continuing concerns about discrimination and structural impediments to their success, and most believe that the government must step in and do more to help this situation. The concept of reparations per se is broad, and the exact level of black support for the idea depends on how it is defined. But we know that at least a majority of blacks appear from past polling to be in favor — not surprising given the general context of black support for the government actively addressing race inequalities in the U.S. today.)

DUPAGE COUNTY STATE’S ATTORNEY
— County Moves to Close Alleged Adult Business in Wheaton
https://www.dupageco.org/States_Attorney/States_Attorney_News/2019/60188/
(FROM THE PRESS RELEASE: DuPage County State’s Attorney Robert Berlin and DuPage County Board Chairman Dan Cronin announced today that DuPage County has filed a lawsuit against Hot Shots Photography Studio, located at 0N758 Gary Avenue, Wheaton, alleging that the business has been operating as an adult business and not as a photography studio as advertised. This morning, the State’s Attorney’s Office filed a verified complaint for injunctive relief and zoning violations against Hot Shots, alleging violations of the DuPage County Zoning Ordinance and state statutes regarding the location of adult entertainment facilities and adult business uses. The lawsuit alleges that Hot Shots advertised on adult websites commonly used to advertise adult escort services by placing personal ads that included a telephone number to call for escort services. The suit alleges that respondents to the ad would be screened by an employee of Hot Shots and then directed to the Gary Avenue location. The lawsuit further alleges that once a respondent entered Hot Shots they were charged $100 as a cover fee and then directed to a room where the respondent would be met by an employee of Hot Shots who would discuss services and payment, with payment “ranging from $500 to $1,500.” The suit further alleges that after receiving payment, employees of Hot Shots would then engage in sexual activity with the respondent. In November, 2018, the DuPage County Sheriff’s Office began an undercover investigation into potential illegal activity and/or prostitution occurring at Hot Shots. The alleged findings of the investigation, according to the suit, “cause Hot Shots to be defined as an adult business use as defined in the DuPage County Zoning Ordinance, and thus constitutes a basis by which that use violates the ordinance.” Additionally, the suit alleges that “the business operations of Hot Shots are such that a significant or substantial portion of such operations involve an activity distinguished or characterized by its emphasis on matters depicting, describing or relating to specified sexual activities.”)

https://www.newsweek.com/fox-news-threaten-juan-williams-hosts-fight-criticize-trump-michael-cohen-1347977
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Fox News discussion of Michael Cohen’s testimony devolved into host Greg Gutfeld threatening to throw co-host Juan Williams off the set for criticizing the GOP’s poor defense of the president. The Five co-host Williams is frequently the lone dissenting voice against the show’s pro-President Donald Trump panels. Wednesday’s show became particularly tense after a red-faced Gutfeld demanded that Williams stop speaking negatively about the president and House Republicans or “I’m going to throw you off the set.” The breakdown occurred after Williams accused Gutfeld and co-host Jesse Watters of being “deep in the bunker,” which Gutfeld took as an Adolf Hitler reference.)

MARKET WATCH
— Improved Social Security COLA would help seniors stay ahead of inflation A more generous policy would keep more older Americans out of poverty – MAX RICHTMAN
https://www.marketwatch.com/story/improved-social-security-cola-would-help-seniors-stay-ahead-of-inflation-2019-02-28
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Retirees across America consistently tell us that their annual COLAs simply are not adequate. And they have a reason to be concerned. Though the 2019 COLA is a decent 2.8%, these adjustments historically have not kept pace with seniors’ rising expenses. In fact, for three of the past 10 years there were no cost-of-living increases — zero. In 2017, the COLA was a scant 0.3% — or a meager $4 a month for the average beneficiary. Simply put, retirees need a COLA that accurately reflects the effects of inflation on their cost of living. The current index, the CPI-W, is pegged to urban wage earners’ living expenses, and tends to underestimate what seniors spend on big ticket items like housing and medical care. By the same token, retirees purchase less gasoline than working-age Americans, even though the cost of gas figures prominently into the current inflation index. As the Center for Retirement Security explains, “In 2016, retirees received no COLA specifically because the cost of oil plummeted. The low cost of gasoline offset [actual inflation] in other areas.” Fortunately, a better formula exists. It’s called the Consumer Price Index for the Elderly — or CPI-E — based on a ‘basket’ of goods and services that reflects older Americans’ spending patterns. The CPI-E just got a big boost from Congressman John Larson (D-Conn.), who included it in his bill to expand retirement benefits, The Social Security 2100 Act. “Seniors have been seeing rises in food…housing, and medical costs, without always receiving adequate increases in the COLA. We must do better and work toward a comprehensive solution,” Congressman Larson said.)

https://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/breaking/ct-met-michael-cohen-trump-chicago-20190227-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: In a statement sent to the Washington Post earlier Wednesday, Rudy Giuliani, Trump’s personal attorney, questioned Cohen’s truthfulness. “It’s pathetic. This is a lawyer who (taped) his own client when he claimed he was being loyal. If you believe him, you are a fool,” Giuliani said. “He bragged he was connected to Russian organized crime and he may be. His father-in-law who gave him millions to (invest) was convicted of tax fraud in a money-laundering operation. Let’s see if these Democrats want to ask about his many crimes having nothing to do with anyone but his coterie of business associates with questionable connections.”)

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.)

— Man plans to spend retirement at the Holiday Inn because it’s cheaper (DIERSEN: My 88-year-old aunt is paying $252 per day at an assisted living facility.)
https://abc7chicago.com/society/man-plans-holiday-inn-retirement-because-its-cheaper/5157421/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Robison wrote on Facebook that the average cost of nursing home care is about $188 per day. A long-term stay with a senior discount at Holiday Inn, on the other hand, is $59.23 per day. “That leaves $128.77 a day for lunch and dinner in any restaurant we want, or room service, laundry, gratuities and special TV movies,” he wrote. “Plus, they provide a spa, swimming pool, a workout room, a lounge and washer-dryer, etc.” The benefits of Holiday Inn, Robison added, also include free toothpaste, razors, shampoo and soap. An additional $5 a day in tips will “have the entire staff scrambling to help you” as well, he wrote. “They treat you like a customer, not a patient,” he said. Holiday Inn also provides a spa, swimming pool, gym, lounge and washer-dryers, but the amenities don’t stop there. The location where Robison checked out reservations has a city bus stop right in front, where seniors can ride for free. In addition, guests can “take the airport shuttle bus” to eat at one of the restaurants at the local airport for “a change of scenery,” he wrote. From there, they can take a flight to another Holiday Inn as well, he mused. “You’re not stuck in one place forever — you can move from Inn or Inn, or even from city to city,” he wrote. The competition to find a comfortable room isn’t as steep either, Robison wrote. “It takes months to get into decent nursing homes,” he wrote. “Holiday Inn will take your reservation today.” The maintenance is virtually nonexistent, Robison figured. “TV broken? Light bulbs need changing? Need a mattress replaced? No problem,” Robison wrote. “They fix everything, and apologize for the inconvenience.” Robison did not mention what kind of health he is in, but said staff like a security guard or maid could check to see if he is OK as well as call an ambulance or an undertaker, whichever is needed. “If you fall and break a hip, Medicare will pay for the hip, and Holiday Inn will upgrade you to a suite for the rest of your life,” he wrote, adding that he’d face his “golden age” with “a grin.” A representative for InterContinental Hotels Group, which Holiday Inn is a subsidiary of, did not immediately respond to ABC News’ request for comment.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: The Venezuelan government briefly detained Jorge Ramos, the star Spanish-language television journalist, during an interview with the country’s embattled president, Nicolas Maduro. Ramos and the Univision News television crew accompanying him were subsequently released. The journalists were detained nearly three hours at Venezuela’s presidential palace after Maduro bristled over Ramos’ questions, a Univision News representative said late Monday. “They have now been released, but their equipment and interview material has been confiscated,” Univision News spokesman Jose Zamora said in an email to The Times. “They will be deported from Venezuela in the morning. It has been a clear attack against freedom of the press.”)

— Univision’s Jorge Ramos detained in Venezuela after Maduro interview, network says Anchor, who has reportedly been released, asked question embattled leader did not approve of, according to Univision executive – Joe Parkin Daniels (DIERSEN: If you want to demonize, denigrate, and condemn someone, you call them “combative.” My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes would call me “combative.”)
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2019/feb/25/jorge-ramos-univision-detained-venezuela-maduro-interview
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The Univision anchor Jorge Ramos has been detained in the Miraflores presidential palace in Caracas, Venezuela, the network announced on Monday evening. The Mexican-born journalist was interviewing Venezuela’s embattled president Nicolás Maduro when he and his crew were detained after asking a question the combative Maduro did not approve of, according to a tweet by the network’s US president, Daniel Coronell. The team’s equipment had also been confiscated, Coronell said. Coronell later said Ramos and his team had been released and he had spoken to the journalist. The equipment as well as the material that upset Maduro were confiscated. Reuters reported that Venezuela was going to deport the group. Ramos told Univision that the offending line of questioning came when he showed Maduro images taken on Ramos’ phone of Venezuelans eating out of the trash to prove people were living a humanitarian crisis. Ramos is arguably the best-known journalist in the Spanish-speaking world. He has gained particular notoriety for regularly locking horns with Donald Trump, who had him ejected from a press conference while on the campaign trail in 2015. The have since sparred over the US president’s proposed border wall among other contentious issues.)

— Downplay if not ignore strengths that Republican candidates have;

 

— Highlight if not stress weaknesses that Republican candidates have, for example, they have lost elections;

 

— Downplay if not ignore weaknesses that Democrat candidates have;

 

— Highlight if not stress strengths that Democrat candidates have, for example, they are unflappable, they get along;

SANTA FE NEW MEXICAN
— Drafting only men for the military is unconstitutional, judge rules – Tyler Pager (DIERSEN: Were you draft bait? I was draft bait 1966-1971. Employers are extremely reluctant to hire, to retain, or to promote those who are draft bait. I graduated from NIU in August of 1970. During 1970 and 1971, potential employers did not believe that my application for a financial hardship draft deferment to help support my mother and brother would be approved. Consequently, in August of 1970, I took the only job that was offered me, a job that did not really require a college degree.)

WALL STREET JOURNAL
— FBI’s Most Wanted: More Applicants for Special Agents Tight labor market has forced the bureau to double down on recruitment efforts; CEOs, physicists and school therapists are encouraged to apply – Aruna Viswanatha and Byron Tau (DIERSEN: GAO hired me in 1980 because it could not find a qualified Democrat, minority, female, younger person, or veteran who would take the job. IRS hired me in 1971 because it could not find a qualified Democrat, minority, female, or veteran who would take the job. The Post Office hired me in 1966 because it could not find a qualified Democrat, minority, female, or veteran who would take the job. Democrats run the federal government. Since the 1960s, to hire, to retain, and to promote young Democrat minorities and young females, the federal government has constantly lowered its hiring, retention, and promotion requirements and made them more subjective. For example, passing the CPA examination is no longer a requirement for many positions.)
https://www.wsj.com/articles/fbis-most-wanted-more-applicants-for-special-agents-11551023975

(FROM THE ARTICLE: The FBI has thus far been able to maintain its hiring levels despite the slump, agency officials said. But there is also a growing recognition that the traditional enticement of FBI employment isn’t as strong as it once was. “The way that government recruits people is they give you more interesting work, particularly more interesting work at a more youthful point in your career,” said Michael German, a former FBI agent who is now a fellow at the Brennan Center for Justice. But as competition for applicants has increased, more employers are offering qualified candidates attractive work opportunities—often at much higher pay levels than starting FBI salaries. Adding to the FBI’s recruitment challenge is a consistently high demand for new applicants in part because of the bureau’s mandatory retirements—agents are required to retire at 57, and can collect pensions after 20 years of service. The challenges have prompted the FBI to overhaul its entire recruiting process over the past six months, Mr. Sursi said. Recent changes include reducing applicants’ previous work requirements from three years to two; keeping in touch with applicants throughout the process to address concerns; reaching out to those who had started but never finished applications; and allowing applicants to continue an application process even if they don’t immediately meet fitness requirements—even offering training guidance to help applicants hit required strength and speed goals.)

This observation is also in the introduction of the Pay Agent Report: “[W]e believe in the need for fundamental reforms of the white-collar Federal pay system. We believe it is imperative to develop performance-sensitive compensation systems that will contribute to a Government that is more citizen-centered, results-oriented, and market-based. We need to empower Federal agencies to better manage, develop, and reward employees in order to better serve the American people.”)

I have lived in Illinois for more than 70 years. I have lived in Wheaton for almost 41 years. I lived in Chicago full-time for 2 years and part-time for 2 years before that. I lived in University Park part-time for 2 years and full-time for 2 years before that. I lived in Crete for 24 years before that. I worked in Chicago, Harvey, Joliet, Chicago Heights, and Park Forest. I worked for GAO for almost 18 years, for IRS for almost 9 years, for Firestone Stores for 2 1/2 years, for the Post Office for almost 3 years, and for S.S. Kresges for 1 1/2 years.

I was active in TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois, Wheaton Chamber of Commerce Government Affairs Committee, Illinois Center Right Coalition, American Association of Political Consultants Midwest Chapter, and Association of Government Accountants Chicago Chapter. I have earned degrees from IIT, DePaul, Loyola, and NIU. I attended UIC. I graduated from Crete-Monee High School and from Hope Lutheran Grade School in Park Forest. I attended Trinity Lutheran Grade School in Crete. I have been the GOPUSA Illinois Editor for 19 years. I spend 10+ hours each and every day researching the internet and newspapers for articles of interest to Illinois Republicans.)
https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2019/02/americans-remain-deeply-ambivalent-about-diversity/583123/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Most Americans do not live in a totalizing bubble. They regularly encounter people of different races, ideologies, and religions. For the most part, they view these interactions as positive, or at least neutral. Yet according to a new study by the Public Religion Research Institute (PRRI) and The Atlantic, a significant minority of Americans do not live this way. They seldom or never meet people of another race. They dislike interacting with people who don’t share their political beliefs. And when they imagine the life they want for their children, they prize sameness, not difference. Education and geography seemed to make a big difference in how people think about these issues, and in some cases, so did age.)

— Income inequality is rising so fast that economic data can’t keep up – Christopher Ingraham
https://www.chicagotribune.com/business/national/ct-biz-income-inequality-economics-20190221-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Nevertheless, the available data paints a clear picture of broadening disparities between top earners and everyone else. Adjusted for inflation, wages for the top 5 percent of earners rose from $50.46 an hour in 2000 to $63.10 in 2018, an increase of 25 percent. The median worker’s hourly wage, meanwhile, rose by 7 percent over that period, to $18.80. The divide was particularly stark among men: The wages of the top 5 percent of male workers rose by 42 percent from 2000 to 2018, while those of the median male worker rose by 0.8 percent. One way to capture that dispersion is to look at the ratio between wages at the top and wages at the middle. In 2000, for instance, the top 5 percent of workers earned 2.87 times as much, per hour, as the typical, or median, worker. By 2018, that ratio had increase to 3.36. Among men only, the ratio between the top 5 percent and the median increased from 2.83 to 3.98. However, there was little change in wage variation at the bottom of the distribution: The median worker earned roughly twice as much as the bottom 10 percent of workers in 2000 and 2018, among all workers and among men only.)

Employers are extremely reluctant to hire, to retain, or to promote those who are draft bait. I graduated from NIU in August of 1970. During 1970 and 1971, potential employers did not believe that my application for a financial hardship draft deferment to help support my mother and brother would be approved. Consequently, in August of 1970, I took the only job that was offered me, a job that did not really require a college degree.)

— Pritzker makes DC debut as governor; joins with Cuomo to protest Trump tax hit – Lynn Sweet (DIERSEN: Trump should increase the $10,000 SALT cap to $20,000 for married filing jointly.)
https://chicago.suntimes.com/news/pritzker-cuomo-state-local-taxes-deduction-trump-national-governors-association/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: At issue is what is nicknamed the “SALT” (state and local taxes) provision in the Trump tax bill Republicans pushed through Congress in 2017 that placed a $10,000 cap on federal income taxes deductions for state and local taxes. In states like Illinois and New York, with higher state and property taxes, the SALT cap could outweigh other breaks in the tax bill. Cuomo organized the “Governors Coalition for Tax Fairness,” with five Democratic governors on Friday kicking off a lobbying drive to lift the SALT cap. The new Democratic run House has the votes to restore or revise the SALT cap; the GOP controlled Senate is likely to resist, because the added revenues were needed to finance what Cuomo and other Democrats call a “tax cut for the rich.” “The states that have state and local taxes tend to be Democratic states. I’m sure that was a coincidence,” Cuomo said with muted sarcasm. He added the “politically motivated” SALT cap “was a declaration of civil war between Democratic states and Republican states.” Pritzker said the SALT cap could impact some two million Illinoisans “in a very negative way.” Almost every Illinois Democrat in Congress is protesting the loss of a full SALT deduction on federal income taxes.)

THE HILL
— Firing bad federal government workers should not be difficult – TOM SCHATZ (DIERSEN: According to my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes, I was a bad federal government worker. They stress that my superiors forced me to retire in 1997 when I was 49 years old and took other adverse actions against me before that. They reject my argument that my superiors wasted my career and got rid of me a) because I complained about political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation and b) because I became an active member in a class action lawsuit in 1988 that charged them with reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation. They stress that my Republican U.S. Senators and Republican U.S. Representatives did not come to my defense.)
https://thehill.com/opinion/finance/431187-firing-bad-federal-government-workers-should-not-be-difficult
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A significant hurdle to getting rid of bad federal employees is the Merit Systems Protection Board. The agency was originally created to ensure the effectiveness of human capital in the federal government, but it has since metastasized into an institutional nightmare that makes it almost impossible to fire any worker for any reason. Through the early 1880s, the federal civil service operated under a spoils system by which the winning political party gave civil service jobs to its supporters. This system caused large numbers of government employees to be replaced every time there was an administration change, and it led to an insecure federal workforce. It routinely drove thousands of job seekers to Washington who believed they were owed a job based on their political support of the president. The spoils system was abolished after the assassination of James Garfield by a disgruntled federal job seeker. Reforms were enacted over the years to establish principles for handling federal employees and adjudicating appeals of removal. The Merit Systems Protection Board was created in 1978 as an independent authority to manage federal employee appeals of furlough, suspension, retirement, and removal decisions. It can develop its own legal procedures, call witnesses, issue subpoenas, and enforce the compliance of federal agencies with its internal decisions. Of the two million federal employees within the jurisdiction of the Merit Systems Protection Board, around 200,000 leave the government each year, but only about 10,000 are removed for performance or misconduct reasons. The rest retire, resign, or finish a temporary appointment.)

GAO, a) Republican Peter Fitzgerald appointed the judge and GAO’s defense attorney, b) that Republican Dennis Hastert was the Speaker of the House while the lawsuit was pending, c) that Republican Henry Hyde was my U.S. Representative while the lawsuit was pending, and d) that Republican George Bush was President while the lawsuit was pending. My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes ignore Rutan v. Republican Party of Illinois and use the aforesaid to hint/imply/argue/shout a) that my claims have no merit and b) that GAO wasted my career and forced me to retire in 1997 when I was 49 years old because I am a White supremacist, Nazi, KKK member, hater, racist, sexist, bigot, and even worse things.)

ROLL CALL
— A reporter’s homage to government workers — unsung heroes of transparency America needs information that presents an objective a version of reality – John M. Donnelly (DIERSEN: I worked for GAO almost 18 years, the last 11 years of which at the GS-13 Step 1-10 levels, currently $96,403-$125,325. For almost 6 of those years, I worked on audits of many federal agencies. For 3 of those years, I worked on audits of IRS. For almost 9 of those years, I worked on audits of federal financial industry regulators.)
https://www.rollcall.com/news/opinion/government-workers-transparency
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Whistle-blowers and internal documents are the lifeblood of journalism. Without such sources, the full story of what’s happening in our country can’t come out. But there’s another, less heralded category of information that feeds journalism: the government institutions that provide Americans with non-partisan, objective data — places like the Government Accountability Office, the Congressional Research Service, the Congressional Budget Office and the inspectors general.)

SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE
— California Republicans hope their next leader can make them relevant again – Joe Garofoli (DIERSEN: What percent a) of California voters and b) of Illinois voters are anti-Trump, anti-Protestant, anti-conservative, anti-patriotic, anti-Republican, anti-American, anti-White, anti-male, anti-older people, anti-rich people, anti-gun owners, anti-draft avoiders, anti-German Americans, and/or anti-those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time?)
https://www.sfchronicle.com/politics/article/California-Republicans-hope-their-next-leader-can-13634407.php
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The California Republican Party has never been less relevant. It has no statewide elected officials. It’s a super-minority in the Legislature. Only 1 in 4 registered voters belongs to it. And the state’s entire GOP House delegation can fit in a minivan. Yet the three people vying to be state party chair this weekend at the GOP’s convention in Sacramento aren’t calling for wholesale changes. Far from it. They don’t think the party needs a new approach to immigration or climate change, issues where polls say the GOP is out of step with California voters. Nor should it back away from President Trump — even though 62 percent of likely California voters polled in January said they disapproved of his job performance. “It’s a great day in America: Donald Trump is president,” would-be party chair Steve Frank said on my “It’s All Political” podcast, repeating the line he uses during his frequent appearances on conservative talk radio shows across the state. Neither of his opponents would disagree. Absent any policy differences, the main distinction between the candidates is a battle over whether the problem is, in fact, what’s left of the California Republican Party’s establishment. The 1,400 delegates meeting this weekend will choose between Frank, whose roots in the California Republican Party go back to Ronald Reagan’s first term … as governor; Travis Allen, who ran for governor last year and thought the Republican opponent backed by Trump, John Cox, was too liberal; and Jessica Millan Patterson, a longtime party operative unknown to the public but the favorite of the GOP’s withered establishment.)

It is called up-or-out, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination.)
