— After appearance on Fox News to defend patch, Prospect High School resource officer reassigned – Steve Zalusky (DIERSEN: In 1988, when I was 40 years old, I became the only active member in GAO’s Chicago office in a class action lawsuit that charged GAO with reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation. To retaliate against me for that, my Democrat GAO superiors a) threw me off audits of IRS for the rest of my GAO career, b) assigned me to one of the worse jobs in the office, c) gave me unfair performance expectations, d) turned my supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates against me, e) gave me unfair performance evaluations, f) always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance, and g) even worse things. Previously, they had a) not promoted me beyond GS-13, b) got rid of my mentor in 1987, c) kept me off audits of IRS during the first 6 years that I worked for GAO, and d) forced me to take a $20,361 (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980. In 1997, they forced me to take their early retirement “offer.”)

I took job-related courses 1966-1981 and 1992-1997 and earned job-related degrees in 1970, 1976, 1980, and 1997. I served on the board of a job-related professional association 1983-1996. I earned job-related professional certifications in 1979, 1981, 1990, 1994, 1996, and 1997. I earned a job-related professional license in 1981.)

GAO hired me in 1980 because it could not find a qualified Democrat, minority, female, younger person, or veteran who would take the job.

I would focus on those who stress that I was a union member for almost 12 years of the almost 30 years that I worked for the federal government. My Democrat superiors took many adverse actions against me. GAO did not unionize until 2007. I worked for GAO 1980-1997. Had GAO had been unionized, my Democrat GAO superiors might very well have not been able to a) force me to retire in 1997 when I was 49 years old, b) give me unfair performance expectations and appraisals, c) always rank me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes, d) not promote me beyond GS-13, e) get rid of my mentor in 1987, f) keep me off audits of IRS for all but 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for GAO, and g) force me to take a $20,361 (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980.)

— AARP Applauds U.S. House Vote on Bipartisan Bill to Combat Age Bias. Legislation Restores Longstanding Legal Protections for Older Workers.

They ignore/belittle the fact that extremely few federal employees make the aforesaid promotion deadlines. They stress that my Democrat GAO superiors forced me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years old. They hint/imply/argue/shout that the aforesaid was not because of political affiliation, reverse discrimination, or age discrimination, but because I am an extremely bad person. They ignore/belittle the fact that 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. They hint/imply/argue/shout that because I had the aforesaid degrees, professional certifications, and professional license and IRS and GAO still got rid of me proves that I have always been an extremely bad person. They stress that I was baptized, raised, and confirmed as a Missouri Synod Lutheran and that I am 100% German American. In my defense, I have been married since 1978 and I served on the Executive Committee of the Association of Government Accountants 1983-1996.)

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. I did yard work and delivered newspapers 1962-1964; washed dishes 1964-1966; cleaned golf shoes, chipped slag, and pumped gasoline in 1966; delivered mail 1966-1969; worked on an automobile assembly line and as a security guard in 1970; sold tires, automotive services, and major appliances 1970-1971; pumped gasoline 1971-1972; collected delinquent taxes 1971-1980; and audited federal agencies 1980-1997.)

— Lukewarm on Juneteenth – Colleen Flaherty (DIERSEN: According to Democrats, your success in life is determined not by anything that you do, but a) by your race, b) by your gender, c) by your national origin, d) by your religion, e) by where you were raised, f) by who your parents were, g) by who your grandparents were, h) by who your great grandparents were, and i) by who the rest of your ancestors were. What unfair advantages in life have you had? According to my critics/opponents, my unfair advantages in life include a) my being born a White male, b) my parents being German American and Missouri Synod Lutheran (MSL), c) my parents raising me in Crete, d) my parents having me baptized, raising me, and having me confirmed as a MSL, e) my parents sending me to Trinity Lutheran Grade School in Crete 1953-19061 and then to Hope Lutheran Grade School in Park Forest 1961-1962 to stay with the Missouri Synod, f) my parents sending me to Crete-Monee High School 1962-1966, and g) my avoiding the draft. I should write a book about my critics/opponents. I would focus on those who have demonized, denigrated, and condemned the following the most: German Americans, MSLs, Crete during the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s, and my avoiding the draft.)

GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— OUTRAGEOUS: The Tunes of Glory Pipes and Drums will not march in Wheaton’s 2021 Independence Day Parade and it is still unclear if Wheaton’s high school bands will march in the parade. – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com
(THE ARTICLE: Since 2005, DuPage Republicans have donated $2,500/year to help sponsor Wheaton’s Independence Day parades and fireworks. But this year, outrageously, Wheaton stopped accepting sponsorships. For many years, $1,000 of the $2,500 DuPage Republican sponsorships was earmarked for the Tunes of Glory Pipes and Drums. But today, the band advised me that it would not be marching in the parade this year because Wheaton had not invited the band to march, and therefore, it accepted an invitation from Glen Ellyn to march in its parade. The band cannot march in both parades this year because not all of the band’s members are available to march in two parades back to back, and this year, Glen Ellyn’s parade starts at noon, only 1 hour after Wheaton’s parade starts. Wheaton should have contracted with the Tunes of Glory Pipes and Drums and the high school bands to march in Wheaton’s parade months ago with an escape clause if Pritzker banned the parade. Needless-to-say, anyone who tries to blame me for the Tunes of Glory Pipes and Drums not marching in Wheaton’s Independence Day Parade is wrong. Further, anyone who tries to blame me if the Wheaton North and/or Wheaton Warrenville South bands do not march in Wheaton’s Independence Day Parade is wrong.)

REAL CLEAR POLITICS
— A Plan to Get Divisive & Radical Theories Out of Our Schools – Donald J. Trump
https://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2021/06/18/a_plan_to_get_divisive__radical_theories_out_of_our_schools_145946.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: First, every state legislature should pass a ban on taxpayer dollars going to any school district or workplace that teaches critical race theory, which inherently violates existing anti-discrimination laws. Inspired by my executive order last year, Florida, Texas, North Carolina, Oklahoma and other states have already taken steps to pass such laws. It needs to happen everywhere — and Congress should seek to institute a federal ban through legislation as well. Second, each state should create its own 1776 Commission to examine the public school curriculum and ensure that students are receiving a patriotic, pro-American education — not being taught that the United States is an evil nation. Third, parents have a right to know exactly what is being taught to their children. Last year, many parents had the chance to routinely listen in on classes for the first time because of remote learning. As students return to the classroom, states need to pass laws requiring that all lesson plans have to be made available to parents — every handout, article, and reading should be posted on an online portal that allows parents to see what their kids are being taught. Furthermore, in many places, there are rules preventing students from recording what teachers say in class. States and school boards should establish a “Right to Record.” Fourth, parents need to organize locally — in every school district in America — to eliminate “Action Civics” and other versions of the effort to contort traditional civics education into a vehicle for political indoctrination. The left’s new argument is that our “divisions” stem from a lack of “civics education” — a problem they intend to “fix” with lots of new taxpayer money and a redefinition of “civics” in schools, just as they are trying to redefine the meaning of “infrastructure.” Right now, Congress is working on a $1 billion bill known as the Civics Secures Democracy Act. No Republican should trust the Biden administration with a billion dollars to spend on such programs. Even worse, the legislation threatens to establish a de facto national curriculum for history and civics, effectively bribing states into adopting the left’s anti-American curriculum. It is Common Core all over again — but much more extreme. And like Common Core, parents must unite to stop this new federal power grab. Fifth, any parent who objects to the material being taught to their child in public school should get an automatic voucher, empowering them to pick another school of their choice. The government has no right to brainwash students with controversial ideologies against their parents’ will. Sixth, states need to take back control of their schools of education and credentialing bodies to ensure they are not churning out radicalized teachers. To be clear, the overwhelming majority of our nation’s teachers are some of the most selfless and wonderful people there are — but regrettably, many have graduated from extremely biased education schools and may not even be aware of the degree to which leftist ideology has permeated their curriculum. States should set up alternative credentialing bodies that can certify great teachers who know how to instill a sense of love for America. School districts can then make it a priority to hire teachers with these certifications, especially for English, history, and social studies roles. States could even set up their own versions of Teach for America to get passionate and patriotic young people into the classroom. Finally, states need to break the tenure monopoly in public K-12 schools. Tenure was originally supposed to protect competent teachers from being subjected to undue political influence; it has turned into a mechanism to protect incompetent teachers who themselves wield undue political influence over our children. Educators who are alienating children from their own country should not be protected with lifelong tenure; they should be liberated to pursue a career as a political activist. Make no mistake: The motive behind all of this left-wing lunacy is to discredit and eliminate the greatest obstacles to the fundamental transformation of America. To succeed with their extreme agenda, radicals know they must abolish our attachment to the Constitution, the Declaration of Independence, and most of all, Americans’ very identity as a free, proud, and self-governing people. The left knows that if they can dissolve our national memory and identity, they can gain the total political control they crave. A nation is only as strong as its spirit. For our children, we must act before it is too late.)

— Koch Network Says Congress Must Make Amnesty for Illegals a Priority – Eric Lendrum (DIERSEN: Needless-to-say, Republican activists, candidates, elected officials, and party leaders should not seek or accept money from major donors who reject planks in the Republican Party platform. Most commonly, they reject the traditional marriage/family, right to life, immigration, illegal drugs, Second Amendment, and/or equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) planks. I should write a book about Republican activists, candidates, elected officials, and party leaders in Illinois, DuPage County, Milton Township, and Wheaton who talk and/or act like they seek and/or accept lots of money from major donors who reject the aforesaid planks. Of course, those major donors want to stop me from sending out GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters. Of course, those major donors want the Milton Township Republican Organization, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, Illinois Republican Party, Wheaton Chamber of Commerce, Wheaton Park District, Wheaton Warrenville School District 200, Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois to get rid of me. Everyone sees how the aforesaid organizations and governments treat me and treat my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters.)

They succeeded in forcing me to take that “offer” and they gave him my job and they gave him my preferred corner office.)
