https://www.sj-r.com/news/20181215/medical-officials-oppose-effort-to-legalize-recreational-use-of-marijuana
— DIERSEN HEADLINE: While he was governor, Rauner took anti-religious, anti-conservative, and anti-Republican actions, but those in Illinois who are anti-religious, anti-conservative, and/or anti-Republican voted for Pritzker anyway.
https://www.sj-r.com/news/20181215/local-business-notes-imas-baise-offers-views-on-states-business-climate-politics
(FROM THE ARTICLE: “The Republican Party needs to reflect the values of center-right voters, who I believe are a majority of voters in this state, utilizing issues of fiscal conservatism, trying to solve our pension problem, working on issues like improving education and our property tax issues,” Baise said. ” … If we’re going to continue to have arguments over whether or not you’re pro-life or pro-choice, whether or not you’re pro-gay marriage or anti-gay marriage, the majority of voters are going to turn their back on you.” Baise characterized his approach as pragmatic, focused on totally on winning. While not getting into specifics, Baise said the party should run candidates who have the ability to win over the majority of voters in the state and allow for differences of opinion on certain issues, like abortion. “Unless you can be elected, you can’t govern,” Baise said. “You can stand up and stay I’m right about this issue, you can scream from your lungs. But if you’re a backbencher, if you’re in the minority, if you’re out of power, you can’t anything done. So it should be in the mold of someone who can get 50.1 percent of the vote.”)

December 14 Morning Edition

CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— Sensing re-election loss, Gov. Bruce Rauner looked to replace himself on Nov. 6 ballot – Mike Riopell and Rick Pearson (DIERSEN: According to Greg Bishop, Ives “said there’s no doubt in her mind GOP leadership in Illinois knew about this and ‘let this go on.’ She demanded top leadership step down.” One could ask Illinois Republican Party (IRP) Chairman Tim Schneider and each of the IRP State Central Committee members when did they first learn of this?)
https://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/politics/ct-met-pritzker-trump-governors-meeting-20181213-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Former Republican state Sen. Karen McConnaughay of St. Charles acknowledged to the Tribune that she was recruited by Rauner in mid-April, about a month after he defeated GOP primary challenger state Rep. Jeanne Ives of Wheaton by just 3 percentage points. Sources said Rauner’s recruitment effort also included Todd Ricketts, a member of the family that owns the Chicago Cubs who is now finance chairman of the Republican National Committee; and Erika Harold, an Urbana attorney who at the time was the GOP nominee for attorney general. She ultimately lost to Democratic state Sen. Kwame Raoul. A source close to Harold said Rauner contacted her about replacing him on the ticket in August, mere months before the general election.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Ives said she was not one of the four asked. “It was obvious from the beginning that he was not serious about winning the race so he destroyed Republicans up and down the ticket by not bowing out politely and letting someone else take the lead,” Ives said. She said there’s no doubt in her mind GOP leadership in Illinois knew about this and “let this go on.” She demanded top leadership step down. “It’s really unfortunate for everybody involved in politics who now completely understand that [Rauner] essentially bought his race and then lied down to the Democrats and was never going to be the watchdog that we need in the face of Pritzker’s tax increase and increased spending that will drive Illinois to the brink of disaster,” Ives said.)

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 $81,071-$91,880. My other fact checking qualifications include my becoming a Forensic Accountant in 1997, a Certified Fraud Examiner in 1990, a licensed CPA in 1981, a Certified Internal Auditor in 1981, and a CPA in 1979.)

https://www.chicagotribune.com/news/opinion/editorials/ct-edit-rahm-pension-chicago-constitution-20181212-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Here’s what he proposes: Amend the Illinois Constitution’s pension clause that in effect says the retirement benefits in force on an employee’s first day of work can’t be changed for the rest of his or her life. Scale back the too-generous 3 percent compounded cost-of-living adjustments that most retirees receive. “The fact is, a 3 percent annual compounded COLA in an era of very low nonexistent inflation is not progressive and not sustainable,” Emanuel said. He also lobbied for a constitutional amendment switching the state from a flat income tax to a graduated one that would hit wealthier taxpayers. “Coming at this challenge from both sides, revenue and reform, is the clearest path out of this challenge and the fairest,” he said. Emanuel also suggested borrowing in the short term to shore up the funds, reintroducing what’s known as a “consideration” model to give public employees more retirement savings choices, and bringing a casino to Chicago.)

There are many factors that impact election results in a precinct including the demographics of the voters in the precinct. According to my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes, Republican candidates on ballots in my Milton Township Precinct 9 would receive many more votes if they were the Republican Precinct Committeeman or if someone who they manipulate/dominate was the Republican Precinct Committeeman.)

POLITICO ILLINOIS

The Chicago attorney and Republican National Committeeman who supported Gov. Bruce Rauner to the bitter end of the midterms, rallied the 200-plus guests at the (Westin) Hotel in Lombard. . .The crowd of notable names erupted in cheers. Among those in the crowd: Lt. Gov.

NBC NEWS
— Help wanted: Trump needs new chief of staff for ‘the worst of times’ Analysis: If the president doesn’t empower his next top aide, he could encounter serious problems, experts say. – Jonathan Allen
https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/politics-news/wanted-trump-chief-staff-worst-times-n946146
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Experts on White House operations say Trump’s desire to run his own operation has been an impediment to him and could make the job less attractive to potential candidates. Chris Lu, who served as Cabinet secretary under President Barack Obama, told NBC News that part of the problem is that Trump hasn’t shown much willingness to let his chiefs of staff, Reince Priebus and Kelly, do their jobs. That includes managing the policy process, limiting the number decisions the president has to make, controlling access and telling him “no” when he needs to hear it. “It doesn’t seem like Trump really wants a chief of staff, and that’s just not an efficient way to run a White House — to have the president calling all the shots,” Lu said. “You don’t need a yes-man as chief of staff. That’s a recipe for disaster.”)

— Ocasio-Cortez claims Jewish ancestry (DIERSEN: What if I had claimed Swedish ancestry? What is your national origin? During the 1840s and 1850s, all my ancestors immigrated to northeast Illinois from what is now Germany. Of course, needless-to-say, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have always used that against me. In my defense, I stress that my grandfather on my father’s side fought the Germans during WWI, that my uncles on my mother’s side fought the Germans during WWII, and that my father would have fought the Germans during WWII if he had not been 4-F. Further, according to http://dna.ancestry.com, my ancestry is 33% Europe West, 28% Scandinavia, 24% Great Britain, 11% Ireland, 2% Europe East, 1% Finland/Northwest Russia, and 1% Italy/Greece.

However, 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 the aforesaid.)

WORLD NET DAILY
— SILICON VALLEY MORPHING INTO THE MORALITY POLICE Adriana Cohen warns about Trojan horse deciding our next presidential election
https://www.wnd.com/2018/12/silicon-valley-morphing-into-the-morality-police/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Here’s the goliath problem: Who gets to define what words and phrases protected under the First Amendment constitute hate – a catchall word that is often ascribed to any offensive speech someone simply doesn’t like? Will Christians who don’t support abortion rights or having their tax dollars go toward Planned Parenthood be considered purveyors of hate for denying women the right to choose? Will millions of Americans who support legal immigration, as opposed to illegal immigration, be labeled xenophobes or racists and be banned from the digital world? Yes and yes. How do we know? It’s already happening, as scores of conservatives nationwide are being shadow banned and/or censored on social media, YouTube, Google and beyond. Their crime? Running afoul of leftist Silicon Valley executives who demand conformity of thought and simply won’t tolerate any viewpoint that strays from their rigid political orthodoxy.)

BREITBART
— Poll: 6-in-7 GOP Voters Say Minorities Favored over White Americans – John Binder
https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2018/12/09/poll-6-7-gop-voters-minorities-favored/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: On the opposite end of the political spectrum, 87 percent of Democrat voters in the midterm elections say white Americans are favored in the U.S. over minorities. Only 12 percent of Democrat voters say minorities are favored over white Americans today. The poll is an indication, again, of a Republican Party that is increasingly made up of a white working- and middle-class majority that feel disenfranchised due to country’s mass immigration policy of importing more than a million legal immigrants a year, while at the same time, having their jobs outsourced to foreign countries through the globalization of the country’s economy. Polling and the recent midterm elections show, yet again, little-to-no support for economic libertarianism with GOP voters overwhelmingly in support of President Donald Trump’s economic nationalism. For example, while the New York Times has complained that states with a white American majority pose “an array of problems,” the process known as “chain migration” — whereby newly naturalized citizens can bring an unlimited number of foreign relatives to the U.S. with them — has imported more than nine million foreign nationals since 2005. As Breitbart News reported, if chain migration is not ended — as President Trump has demanded — the U.S. electorate will forever be changed, with between seven to eight million new foreign-born individuals being eligible to vote because of chain migration, and overall, an additional 15 million new foreign-born voters. Simultaneously, illegal immigration next year is on track to soar to the highest level in a decade, with a potential 600,000 border crossers expected. Meanwhile, free trade with China has eliminated or outsourced about 3.5 million American jobs since 2001. Polling this year found that a majority of GOP voters say free trade has hurt the U.S. and cost Americans their jobs.)

To turn them against me, my Democrat superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates stressed to them a) that I was 100% German-American and b) that I was baptized, raised, and confirmed as a Missouri Synod Lutheran.

Carter was President 1980-1981 while I worked for GAO, then Reagan 1981-1989, then Bush 1989-1993, and then Clinton 1993-1997. GAO works for Congress. Thomas P. O’Neill, Jr. was Speaker of the House 1980-1987 while I worked for GAO, then James C. Wright, Jr. 1987-1989, then Thomas S. Foley 1989-1995, and then Newt Gingrich 1995-1997. My Democrat Post Office superiors forced me resign in 1969 and disallowed my sick leave requests in 1969 and 1968. 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 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 $19,203 (26%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980. While my lawsuit against GAO was in federal courts, a) Clinton was President 1998-2001 and then Bush 2001-2005 and b) Gingrich was Speaker of the House 1998-1999 and then Hastert 2001-2005.)

For me, in 1980, when I was 31 years old, when I transferred from IRS to GAO, it was auditing IRS. GAO audits IRS. I had worked for IRS for almost 9 years, the last 5 1/2 years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 levels, currently $81,071-$91,880. 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 in accounting from DePaul. But my Democrat GAO superiors succeeded in stopping me from being assigned to audits of IRS until 1986. They treated assignments to audits of IRS to be “preferred assignments” that should only be given to GAO employees who were Democrat, minority, female, younger, and/or veteran.)

He got the benefit reduced so that future retirees got only a pro-rated CSRS credit based on the number of hours that they worked.

https://www.christianpost.com/news/pro-life-leader-accuses-wheaton-student-leaders-of-demonizing-fellow-evangelicals-after-controversy.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A black pro-life activist has hit back at the student body leaders of the Christian Wheaton College after a school-wide email positioned that a recent talk of his made students feel “unsafe” on campus. The controversy stemmed from a speech Ryan Bomberger of the The Radiance Foundation delivered at Wheaton called “Black Lives Matter, In and Out of the Womb” on November 14, which was organized by the Wheaton College Republicans. Student leaders claimed that Bomberger made several comments at the time that “deeply troubled members of the community,” making “many students, staff and faculty of color — feel unheard, and unsafe on our campus.”)

While I worked for the federal government for almost 30 years, many, if not most, and at times, virtually all of my supervisors and superiors were Jewish. To turn them against me, my Democrat superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates stressed to them a) that I was 100% German-American and b) that I was baptized, raised, and confirmed as a Missouri Synod Lutheran. In my defense, I stressed a) that all my ancestors immigrated during the 1840s and 1850s, b) that my grandfather on my father’s side fought the Germans in WWI, c) that my uncles on my mother’s side fought the Germans in WWII, d) that my father would have fought the Germans in WWII if he had not been 4-F, e) that I no longer attended church services, and f) that I no longer gave money to a church.)

I should write a book about my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes who never sought a federal job 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 the aforesaid.)
