Of course, my critics/opponents have always been able to sue the authors of those articles, but they never have. Because Section 230 stops them from suing me, they take adverse actions against me.

INVESTOR’S BUSINESS DAILY
— Congress May Tear Apart A Law That Launched The Internet – BRIAN DEAGON (DIERSEN: My critics/opponents want to abolish Section 230 so that they can sue me for including links in GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails to articles that they do not like. Of course, my critics/opponents have always been able to sue the authors of those articles, but they never have. Because Section 230 stops them from suing me, they take adverse actions against me.

https://www.investors.com/news/technology/section-230-law-launched-internet-in-danger-fb-googl-twtr/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A law considered by some to be “the 26 words that created the internet,” Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, now sits in the crosshairs of a Congress that is upset over its broad protections for web behemoths. Its fate could have a massive impact on the internet’s future and tech stocks in particular. The law guards web publishers from liability over third-party content. But both Republicans and Democrats seek sweeping changes to Section 230 in hopes they can rein in web giants like Amazon (AMZN), Facebook (FB), Twitter (TWTR), Microsoft (MSFT) and Alphabet (GOOGL)-owned Google. As Facebook and others increasingly take down content they deem inaccurate or objectionable, lawmakers also wonder whether the protections afforded by Section 230 are too broad for tech stocks. They want to hold social media and other web companies more responsible in managing their content.)

Protected groups include those who are minority, female, younger, LGBTQ, disabled, veteran, citizens of foreign countries, non-Trump supporters, non-Christians, non-Protestants, non-Italian Americans, non-German Americans, Democrat, Libertarian, Green, Independent, RINO, moderate, liberal, low-income, those whose ancestors have not been in America for a long time, and those who lack education, lack job skills, lack job experience, have financial problems, and/or have health problems.)
https://www.jdsupra.com/legalnews/what-employers-need-to-know-eeoc-serves-80198/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The statutory Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) requirements do not appear to address a private employer’s ability to mandate the vaccine, and EEOC has not stated that the FDA’s statements on this topic impact an employer’s right under the ADA to mandate the vaccine; but EEOC’s inclusion of this topic in the New Guidance at least raises the question as to how EEOC, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), or the courts might respond to an employer that takes adverse action against an employee who objects to taking a vaccine because it is authorized only under an EUA.)

I had completed the requirements for a master’s degree in financial markets and trading from IIT in 1997. I had become a Certified Financial Services Auditor in 1996.)

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.

— How Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell has affected LGBTQ service members, 10 years after repeal – Ali Rogin (DIERSEN: I should write a book about how Affirmative Action, Diversity, and Inclusion have adversely affected me. In 1971, Oldsmobile withdrew a job offer that I had accepted saying that Oldsmobile had just agreed to stop hiring Whites to settle an EEOC complaint. That directly resulted in a) Firestone Stores firing me and b) my accepting a job offer from IRS. While I worked for the Post Office 1966-1969, IRS 1971-1980, and GAO 1980-1997, my superiors were always under tremendous pressure from Democrat politicians to give preference to their Democrat employees who were minority, female, younger, and/or veteran, that is, they were always under pressure to get rid of their Republican employees who were White, male, older, and/or non-veteran.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Joe McElroy: When I was elected to City Council in 2011, the city was in the final stages of downsizing the staff. Today we have fewer employees than we did 10 years ago, even though we have more people. If and when tax and fee increases are needed, we should protect existing residents first, shifting as much of the tax burden as possible to newcomers (real estate transfer tax) and visitors (sales taxes). However, we need to remain competitive with other cities. Also, we should look at how much we charge nonresidents to use our library and other city services.)

— Why ‘Pivot Counties’ That Stuck With Trump May Be a Warning for Democrats More than 200 counties flipped from Barack Obama to Donald J. Trump in 2016. Joe Biden won only 25 of them back. – Trip Gabriel
https://www.nytimes.com/2020/12/22/us/politics/trump-voters-swing-counties.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: It is a region of small, postindustrial cities that have suffered manufacturing losses, where largely white voters, after years of voting for Democrats, embraced Mr. Trump’s nationalism and culturally backward-gazing message. “You can look at the part of the country where I live and where I serve, there is a feeling they have been left behind and we haven’t delivered,” said Representative Cheri Bustos, a Democrat whose northwest Illinois district includes nine Obama-Trump counties. All of them stayed with Mr. Trump this year. Ms. Bustos, who was chair of the Democrats’ House campaign committee, barely won re-election herself. She said Democrats needed to bring concrete benefits to farmers in the same way Franklin D. Roosevelt delivered rural electrification. Despite expectations that Mr. Biden, with his Everyday Joe persona, would win back many blue-collar voters, he appears to have done worse with them than Hillary Clinton or Mr. Obama in both of his elections.)

— Shipping delays mounting as USPS struggles with ‘historic’ holiday volume. – LAUREN ZUMBACH (DIERSEN: Because of complaints about slow delivery of Christmas mail in 1965, the Democrats who ran the Post Office got a budget increase that resulted in the Democrats who ran the Park Forest Post Office hiring me in November of 1966. They could not find a qualified Democrat, minority, female, or veteran who would take the job. I worked a) part-time while I was a full-time student at UIC 1966-1968 and at NIU in 1969 and b) full-time during the summers of 1967, 1968 and 1969. They outrageously succeeded in forcing me to resign in September of 1969 by falsely claiming that I would not be available to work enough part-time hours. I was available to work all Mondays, all Fridays, all Saturdays, all Sundays, all holidays, and all days that NIU was not in session. My Democrat Park Forest Post Office supervisor made it clear that he strongly disapproved of my following demographics: Republican, conservative, Missouri Synod Lutheran, 100% German American, union member, non-poor, college student, draft avoider, Crete resident since 1948, owner of a 1966 Pontiac Tempest Sprint, then a 1968 Oldsmobile 442, and then a 1969 Dodge Charger SE, and my ancestors had been in America since 1844.)

— How 2020 ruptured the link between the office and home. We’ve been cut loose from commuting for 10 months. Now comes the question: What if where we work no longer had anything to do with where we live? (DIERSEN: I worked in the Loop in 1971 and then 1973-1997 and my wife worked in the Loop 1968-1992. I took classes in downtown Chicago 1972-1980 and 1992-1997 and my wife took classes in the Loop 1978-1986. In 1984, we paid a big premium for the lot that we had our built on in Wheaton because we could walk to/from the Wheaton train station. In 1978 we paid a big premium for a home in Wheaton because we could walk to/from the College Avenue train station. In 1974 and 1976, I paid premiums for condos in downtown Chicago because I could walk to/from work and classes. In 1972, I bought a new town home in University Park in part because it was a relatively easy commute to my job in Harvey.)

https://www.chicagotribune.com/coronavirus/ct-nw-nyt-coronavirus-health-app-20201213-b6xgyjjh5ff6daeyvqielwklju-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: But now, just as the United States is preparing to distribute the first vaccines for the virus, the entry ticket to the nation’s reopening is set to come largely in the form of a digital health credential. In the coming weeks, major airlines including United, JetBlue and Lufthansa plan to introduce a health passport app, called CommonPass, that aims to verify passengers’ virus test results — and soon, vaccinations. The app will then issue confirmation codes enabling passengers to board certain international flights. It is just the start of a push for digital COVID-19 credentials that could soon be embraced by employers, schools, summer camps and entertainment venues. “This is likely to be a new normal need that we’re going to have to deal with to control and contain this pandemic,” said Dr. Brad Perkins, the chief medical officer at the Commons Project Foundation, a nonprofit in Geneva that developed the CommonPass app. The advent of electronic vaccination credentials could have a profound effect on efforts to control the coronavirus and restore the economy. They could prompt more employers and college campuses to reopen. They may also give some consumers peace of mind, developers say, by creating an easy way for movie theaters, cruise ships and sports arenas to admit only those with documented coronavirus vaccinations.)

https://www.nationalreview.com/2020/12/the-working-class-party-myth-and-what-really-motivates-voters/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: If there is one lesson conservatives claim to have learned from the last few election cycles, it is that the Democrats are the party of elites. In both 2016 and 2020, President Trump performed well among voters, especially non-Hispanic white voters, without a college degree. This has led to some speculation that a class-based realignment is underway. As Senator Marco Rubio (R., Fla.) recently put it, “The future of the [Republican] party is based on a multiethnic, multiracial, working-class coalition.” Senator Ted Cruz (R., Texas) went further, suggesting that a working-class realignment wasn’t just a goal but had already occurred, claiming that the Democrats had become “the party of the rich.”)

With money that I saved washing dishes in the basement of the S.S.

LAGRANGE PATCH
— What Got A La Grange Library Worker Fired The employee was accused of violating anti-discrimination and anti-harassment policies. – David Giuliani (DIERSEN: Prior to August of 1997, when I was 48 years old, my Democrat GAO superiors led me to believe that they were going to let me work at least until I would be eligible for regular retirement in 2003 when I would be 55 years old. But starting in August of 1997, they increasingly made it clear that if I did not take their early retirement “offer” which expired on September 30, 1997, they would constructively, if not literally, demote me and make my next 6 years a living hell. Previously, they had not taken any formal disciplinary actions against me. But they had given 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 $20,157 (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980.)

POLITICO ILLINOIS
— Richard Goldberg is being recruited by some members of the Illinois GOP to become party chairman, according to a source close to the selection process. The position opened up over the weekend when Chairman Tim Schneider announced he was stepping down after six years. Goldberg most recently served as a director with the White House National Security Council and before that was chief of staff for former Gov. Bruce Rauner and deputy chief of staff to former Sen. Mark Kirk. Goldberg, who’s also an intelligence officer in the Naval Reserve with the rank of lieutenant commander, is seen as someone who can work across all areas of the Illinois GOP and stand up to Democrats. Goldberg would bring the star power that comes from working for Trump. He also could help rebuild the Republican presence in Lake County, where Kirk resides. The area has moved left with each election cycle in recent years.

FEDWEEK
— GAO Report Examines Reasons Behind Gender Pay Gap, Shows Variation (DIERSEN: If I had not been denied my 7th Amendment rights in Diersen v. GAO, I would have presented a jury with evidence that my Democrat GAO superiors paid their employees who were minority and/or female and who had similar education, similar work experience, and/or similar professional certifications and licenses to what I had far more than they paid their employees who were White and/or male. Starting in 1976, when I was 27 years old and earned an MBA from Loyola, I had more education than most of my IRS coworkers. Starting in 1979, when I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt, I had more professional certifications than virtually all my IRS coworkers. Stating in 1981, when I passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt, I had more professional certifications than virtually all my GAO coworkers. Stating in 1981, when I became a licensed CPA, I had more professional licenses that virtually all my GAO coworkers. Further, I earned a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980 and a master’s degree in financial markets and trading from IIT in 1997. Further, I became a Certified Fraud Examiner in 1990, Certified Government Financial Manager in 1994, Certified Financial Services Auditor in 1996, and Forensic Accountant in 1997.)
https://www.fedweek.com/issue-briefs/report-examines-reasons-behind-gender-pay-gap-shows-variation/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: What GAO Found The overall pay gap between men and women in the federal workforce has narrowed considerably, from 19 cents on the dollar in 1999 to 7 cents in 2017, but the current pay gap is greater for certain groups of women, according to GAO’s analysis of data from the Office of Personnel Management (OPM). Two trends help explain why the pay gap has narrowed: (1) men and women have become more similar in measurable factors related to pay, such as occupation; and (2) women have earned slightly higher rates of pay increases than men. In 2017, most of the overall pay gap—or 6 of 7 cents on the dollar—was not explained by differences between men and women in measurable factors (see figure). This unexplained portion of the pay gap may be due to factors not captured in the data GAO analyzed, such as work experience outside the federal government, or factors that cannot be measured, such as discrimination and individual choices. In 2017, the overall and unexplained gaps were greater for certain groups. For example, compared to White men, the unexplained gap was greater for Hispanic/Latina, Black, and American Indian or Alaska Native women than for White and Asian, Native Hawaiian, or Pacific Islander women. Gender Composition of the Federal Workforce and Prior Research on the Gender Pay Gap for Federal Workers Over the last 20 years, the federal workforce has consistently included more men than women. For example, according to OPM’s EHRI data, men made up 55 percent of the federal workforce in 1999 and 57 percent in 2018. In 2018, of about 2.1 million federal workers captured in the EHRI data, approximately 1.2 million were men and nearly 926,000 were women. Although estimates of the exact size of the gender pay gap vary, the estimated pay gap between women and men in the federal workforce is smaller than the pay gap in the entire U.S. workforce, which includes the public, private, and not-for-profit sectors. In 2018, the pay gap for federal workers was about 12 cents on the dollar, and the pay gap for the entire workforce was about 18 cents on the dollar, according to self-reported data from the U.S. Census Bureau’s American Community Survey. Prior research has found that the gender pay gap for federal workers is partly explained by differences between men and women in measurable factors that affect pay, such as occupation, education, and experience. This is referred to as the explained pay gap. For example, in our 2009 report, we found that the pay gap was partly due to differences between men and women in the occupations they held, their levels of education, and how long they had worked for the federal government. We also identified other measurable factors that contributed to the explained gender pay gap, including race and ethnicity, federal agency, and veteran status. However, we found that a portion of the pay gap was not explained by differences between men and women in measurable factors that affect pay. This is referred to as the unexplained pay gap. Specifically, we found that 7 cents of the 11-cent pay gap in 2007 were unexplained after accounting for differences in measurable factors. Similarly, OPM found that about 4 cents of the 13-cent pay gap for white-collar federal workers in 2012 were not explained by measurable factors. The unexplained pay gap may be due to factors that are not captured in available data, such as work experience outside the federal government, or those that cannot be measured, such as discrimination and individual career choices. Furthermore, the explained pay gap could also be influenced by discrimination, to the extent that the measurable factors themselves are affected by discrimination.)

I would focus on those who lead Wheaton’s West District, Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County’s 4th District, DuPage County, and Illinois.)

— Illinois Republican Party chairman Tim Schneider resigning – AP
https://abc7chicago.com/politics/il-republican-party-chairman-tim-schneider-resigning/8561047/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Schneider’s term was supposed to run through May 2022. He’s a former Cook County commissioner who became Illinois Republican chairman in 2014 when Bruce Rauner, a Republican, was governor. Democrats control state government, although Republicans in the recent election helped defeat Gov. J.B. Pritzker’s plan to overhaul Illinois tax rates. Lake County GOP chairman Mark Shaw tried to challenge Schneider for the party post two years ago but accepted the title of party co-chairman for conservative and grassroots outreach, the Chicago Tribune reported.)

DAILY MAIL
— Teachers in San Diego are forced to attend ‘white privilege’ training where they are told they’re racist and asked to commit to becoming ‘anti-racist’ activists. Training is mandatory for all teachers within San Diego Unified School District. The teachers are reportedly asked to discuss how they would feel if they are called racist and asked to acknowledge that they meet on land stolen. Teachers are also reportedly asked to commit to becoming ‘anti-racist’ activists. (DIERSEN: Are you White? Under the Democrats and under the RINOs, soon, if not already, you will be forced to attend “White Privilege” training. Will you attend? Will you accept being called a racist? Will you become an “anti-racist” activist and help White-haters get rid of Whites once and for all?)
