— City of The Dalles Employee Says He Was Terminated for Reporting Racist Remarks by Co-Workers and Supervisor. Ascencio’s lawsuit marks the second time in weeks that the city of The Dalles has been embroiled in public controversy stemming from employee issues. – Tess Riski
(COMMENT: I should write a book about how my Democrat superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates in the federal government treated me. I would focus on the adverse actions that my Democrat superiors took against me.)
https://www.wweek.com/news/courts/2021/09/08/city-of-the-dalles-employee-says-he-was-terminated-for-reporting-racist-remarks-by-co-workers-and-supervisor/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Saul Ascencio alleges that city management and his direct supervisor fostered a hostile work environment where employees openly made racist comments toward him, according to the lawsuit, filed Aug. 31 in Wasco County Circuit Court. Within a few months of starting with the public works department in July of 2017, the lawsuit alleges, two white coworkers confronted Ascencio and asked him if he had “cross[ed] the border.” Other coworkers allegedly called Ascencio a “lazy Mexican” and claimed the city only hired him because he is a “brown token.” The complaint further alleges a white co-worker openly used the N-word in a break room to describe a Black person. “A white supervisor informed Plaintiff that white coworkers were scared to work with Plaintiff because ‘they think he is an MS-13 gang member,’” the lawsuit alleges. “A white coworker repeatedly complained about Mexicans speaking Spanish instead of English… A supervisor berated the Plaintiff in the presence of coworkers because he was wearing a hat that said ‘Compton.’”)

(COMMENT: I should write a book about a) those who have been turned against me, b) those who turned them against me, and c) what they said to turn them against me. They stress that I am not a member of a church, that I do not attend church services, and that I do not give money to a church.

They stress that I promote the traditional family, right to life, immigration, illegal drugs, Second Amendment, and equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) planks in the Republican Party platform. They stress that I oppose the promotion of dependency on government, dependency on charity, LGBTQ, abortion, mass/illegal immigration, booze, gambling, pot, and other vices, diminishment of First and Second Amendment rights, patronage, political affiliation discrimination, wokeness, BLM, CRT, 1619, reparations, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination. They blame me and blame my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters for their problems, for your problems, for my problems, and for everyone’s problems. They stress my demographics: White, male, old (born in 1948), non-veteran, conservative, Republican, heterosexual, married, non-poor, gun owner, baptized, raised, and confirmed as a Missouri Synod Lutheran, 100% German American, federal employee for almost 30 years, federal retiree for almost 24 years, and that my ancestors have been in America since 1844. I would focus on those who destroy those like me a) who they cannot manipulate or dominate, b) who refuse to glorify and praise them, c) who refuse to pander to them, d) who refuse to serve as one of their operatives or dupes, e) who refuse to cover up their wrongdoing, and/or f) who refuse to give them money. I would focus on those who have taken the biggest adverse actions against me.)

https://www.msnbc.com/opinion/florida-michigan-other-state-elections-are-falling-trump-loyalists-n1278499
(FROM THE ARTICLE: ProPublica recently published a stunning investigation into a new right-wing movement to infiltrate the American electoral system, spurred by the lie that the 2020 election was stolen from former President Donald Trump. Fueled by calls from former Trump adviser Steve Bannon, thousands of new precinct officers — who in some cases collectively have the power to help elect members of election oversight boards — have already signed up in key battleground states, including Michigan and Florida.)

— Unfair retirement cuts – James Glover, President, Chapter 1309
(COMMENT: I am one of those 99,640. My Social Security is $365 less each month because I get a Civil Service Retirement System pension. I paid Social Security taxes while I washed dishes, cleaned golf shoes, chipped slag, pumped gasoline, delivered mail, worked on an automobile assembly line and as a security guard, sold tires, automotive services, and major appliances, etc. 1964-1974.)
https://www.dailyherald.com/discuss/20210902/unfair-retirement-cuts
(FROM THE LETTER: I am a retired federal employee who loses $500 per month from my earned Social Security benefit. In 1984, Congress unfairly reduced public employee SSA pensions by two-thirds of the benefit earned and promised for no reason other than to save SSA money. No other category of pensions was reduced. We urge Congress to pass HR 82 and S1302 to remedy this unjust treatment. This unfair law adversely affects 99,640 citizens in Illinois and needs to be repealed so we can get the same benefits earned like everyone else.)

— Former AmEx employee files detailed lawsuit alleging he was terminated because he’s white – Jon Dougherty
https://www.bizpacreview.com/2021/09/03/game-on-former-amex-employee-files-detailed-lawsuit-alleging-he-was-terminated-because-hes-white-1129155/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A former employee of financial powerhouse American Express has filed a lawsuit against his former company alleging he was terminated because he is white and because he said he opposed as racist the corporate “diversity” policy of increasing the number of non-white staffers. Christopher Rufo, a senior fellow at the Manhattan Institute who has published a great deal of research involving the corporate spread of “critical race theory” policies, wrote on Twitter that the former AmEx employee, Brian Netzel, was inspired to file suit based on his reporting.)

EVANSTON PATCH
— Evanston/Skokie School District 65 this week filed a motion to dismiss drama teacher Stacy Deemar’s federal civil rights lawsuit. – Jonah Meadows
(COMMENT: My Democrat GAO superiors kept me in a hostile work environment and took many adverse actions against me. They 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 $20,361 (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980.)
https://patch.com/illinois/evanston/drama-teachers-discrimination-suit-falls-woefully-short-d-65
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The filing cited comments from the teacher’s own attorney, who, in a television interview, appeared to admit that her client had not suffered discrimination. . .In her complaint, the drama teacher failed to allege that she was harmed in any way by the district’s race-conscious curriculum, failed to state an actionable civil rights claim and failed to allege that she suffered any adverse action or a hostile work environment, according to a memorandum in support of District 65’s motion.)

— Dishonorable discharges for vaccine refusal would be blocked under congressional proposal – Leo Shane III
(COMMENT: In 1997, when I was 49 years old, because I had become an active member in a class action lawsuit that charged my GAO superiors with reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation, they gave me a dishonorable discharge, that is, they forced me to take their early retirement “offer.” Previously, they had taken many other adverse actions against me. My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes in the following side with my Democrat GAO superiors: Milton Township Republican Organization, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, Illinois Republican Party, Wheaton, Wheaton Park District, Wheaton Chamber of Commerce, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois. Unsuccessful Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct, their political consultants, their major donors, their fundraisers, their campaign managers, their campaign staff members, and their campaign volunteers side with my Democrat GAO superiors.)
https://www.militarytimes.com/news/pentagon-congress/2021/09/02/dishonorable-dismissals-for-vaccine-refusal-would-be-blocked-under-congressional-proposal/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The troops could still be forced from the ranks, but would receive honorable discharges. Supporters said the idea is to ensure those individuals aren’t given a lifelong mark on their military record because of personal concerns about the vaccine. . .“However, if somebody in good faith in the military says they can’t do it, they shouldn’t be stained for the rest of their lives with a dishonorable discharge.” . . .Amendment sponsor Rep. Mark Green, R-Tenn. and an Army veteran, said that an other-than-honorable dismissal “significantly impacts an individual for the rest of their lives, including future employment … We should not destroy their lives for this.” . . .Troops who refuse can face various types of punishment, including dismissal from the service. “Many Americans have reservations about taking a vaccine that has only been available for less than a year,” the bill language states. “Reports of adverse actions being taken or threatened by military leadership at all levels are antithetical to our fundamental American values.” . . . Other types of reprimand besides dismissals, such as reductions in rank, would still be allowed under the measure.)

(COMMENT: Far too many Republican leaders in Illinois, DuPage County, Milton Township, and Wheaton a) do not understand that Democrats are moral relativists who believe that their end justifies their means, b) do not know how nasty, vicious, and even worse things that Democrats can be, and c) have never worked for, worked with, or supervised Democrats. I worked for Democrats and worked with Democrats in the federal government for almost 30 years and I supervised Democrats for many years while I worked for IRS and GAO.)

(DIERSEN: Since 2000, my critics/opponents hint/imply/argue/shout that because I am a Republican Precinct Committeeman, the following can and should censure me: Milton Township Republican Organization (MTRO), DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Illinois Republican Party.

The party voted to censure him for “voting contrary to conservative ideals,” when he voted to move the American Jobs Plan forward in July and August, according to the party. 83% of the members voted to censure him. “Senator Graham has turned his back on the Republican Party Platform, those who worked to get him elected, and has put America’s interest’s second to China, and the rise of Marxism in the United States,” the party claimed. The party also said Graham’s vote advances Critical Race Theory and broadband “equity mandates” which it claims would hurt South Carolina and increase taxes.)

https://thehill.com/opinion/white-house/569882-the-political-tides-are-turning-against-the-biden-presidency
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The recent decline in support for President Biden and his administration likely means that the Democratic Party will lose control of the House and potentially the Senate in 2022 — and makes it increasingly likely that Biden will be a one-term president. Just 41 percent of registered voters now approve of Biden, while 55 percent disapprove, according to a USA Today-Suffolk University survey released last week. President Biden’s approval rating has markedly deteriorated, having dropped 16 points since this spring.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Chinese President Xi Jinping’s newfound emphasis on promoting “common prosperity” to deal with the large wealth gap in the ostensibly communist nation has led to tough times for some of China’s billionaires. Jack Ma, formerly the richest person in the country, is among those whose net worth has fallen as a wave of new state controls and regulations drove down share prices for some of China’s hottest companies. The government’s campaign is about more than reducing inequality, however. There’s also increasing concern in Beijing about great wealth translating into political power separate from the Communist Party.)

NEW YORK TIMES
— Return of the Pied-à-terre – Joanne Kaufman
(COMMENT: In its 1978 4-page article on me, Money Magazine called the studio condo that I bought in 1974 my pied-a-terre. In fact, I bought the condo for three reasons. First, so that I could walk to work at my new IRS job in the Loop. Second, so that I could walk to graduate business classes at Loyola. And third, I could not sell my University Park town home without suffering a big loss.)

Ever-increasingly, Democrats, Libertarians, Greens, Independents, and RINOs hint/imply/argue/shout that Jesus promotes dependency on government, dependency on charity, LGBTQ, abortion, mass/illegal immigration, booze, gambling, pot, and other vices, abolition of the First and Second Amendments, wokeism, BLM, CRT, 1619, reparations, Affirmative Action, Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, retaliation, and even worse things.)

— Is Your Reputation Congruent To Your Personal Brand? – Jon Michail
(DIERSEN: What did you do that limited your employment career? I avoided the draft. I did not major in accounting at UIC and NIU. I did not earn an MBA until I was 27. I did not pass the CPA examination until I was 30. I did not pass the Certified Internal Auditor examination until I was 32. I did not become a Democrat. I did not help my Democrat supervisors and superiors get rid of their employees who were Republican, White, male, and/or non-veteran and who had not made GS-13 (currently $102,188) by age 25, GS-14 (currently $120,755) by age 30, GS-15 (currently $142,041) by age 35, and Senior Executive Service (currently $172,500) by age 40. I complained about political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation. I became an active member of a class action lawsuit that charged my Democrat superiors with reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation. What did you do that limited your political career? I did not become a RINO. I promote planks in the Republican Party platform that my RINO political superiors want to dump including the traditional marriage/family, right to life, immigration, illegal drugs, Second Amendment, and equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) planks. I did not let my RINO political superiors manipulate me or dominate me. I did not glorify and praise them. I did not pander to them. I did not serve as one of their operatives or dupes. I did not cover up their wrongdoing. I did not give them money.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Ask your close colleagues whether they have heard anything bad about you recently. Be street-smart. You might not hear anything bad about yourself directly, but always keep open communication between yourself and your close colleagues and stakeholders. That way you’ll know whether they have heard any bad word about you and if you should be concerned. When you come across such a situation, have a plan to not let the situation spiral out of repair. Negative PR that is left unchallenged can be career limiting.)

— What People Earn 2021: See the Salaries of Everyday Workers Across America, Including the Most in Demand Pandemic Jobs – Kathleen McCleary
(COMMENT: My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have always demonized me, denigrated me, and condemned me as being overpaid. In today’s dollars, GAO paid me $132,845/year in 1997 when I was 49 years old. In my defense, I earned a) a job-related bachelor’s degree when I was 21 in 1970 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 32.)
