WASHINGTON POST
— How paranoia about the ‘deep state’ brought down a president. And how it could do so again. – Zachary Jonathan Jacobson (DIERSEN: Who seeks “to discredit, even destroy” you? I should write a book about those who seek “to discredit, even destroy” me. They include a) past and present Milton Township Republican Central Committee, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, Illinois Republican Party, TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois, Wheaton Chamber of Commerce, Illinois Center Right Coalition, American Association of Political Consultants, City of Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, Illinois, GAO, IRS, Post Office, etc. officials, employees, and members and b) those who I have sued.) 
https://www.washingtonpost.com/outlook/2019/04/08/how-paranoia-about-deep-state-brought-down-president/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: In the Nixon White House, ruminating about the threat of a deep state was common fodder. President Richard Nixon’s team sought to discredit, even destroy, political opponents, inside government and out, by pursuing them as un-American traitors. Nixon’s deep-statism illustrated the self-destructiveness undergirding conspiracism, and ultimately led to his resignation.)

For me, it was Oldsmobile’s withdrawal of a job offer that I had accepted when I was 22 years old in 1971. Oldsmobile said it had to withdraw its offer because it had just agreed to stop hiring Whites to settle an EEOC complaint. That directly resulted in my accepting a job offer from IRS.)

https://www.chicagotribune.com/suburbs/naperville-sun/news/ct-nvs-city-council-mayor-new-elected-st-0405-story.html

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Another issue on her radar is marijuana. Gustin said she understands that medically, marijuana is a good thing, but she has concerns about how it could affect young people if used recreationally. Gustin said she’s worked with Kelly in the past, and thinks he will be a great addition to city council. He “seems ignited about the position and it’s exciting to have people who want to serve and want to give of their time to keep Naperville such a wonderful place to live,” she said.)

My father was the first of his ancestors to earn a high school diploma. My mother never attended high school. My father fought type 1 diabetes from age 14, worked in the office of a nasty chemical plant, almost always worked second jobs to pay the family’s bills, did not buy a new car until he was 45 and it was a bottom-of-the-line 2-door Chevy, and died suddenly of heart failure in 1969 when he was 47 and I was 21.)

https://pjmedia.com/trending/a-red-hat-never-hurt-anybody/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Let’s say you’re sitting in Starbucks on a lovely spring day, just enjoying a cup of their burnt, overpriced coffee and minding your own business. Suddenly, a complete stranger walks up and starts screaming at you because you’re wearing a red baseball cap with a slogan popularized by the current president of the United States. This angry woman, who you’ve never met in your life, calls you a “Nazi” and a “racist” and claims you “hate brown people.” She exhorts the rest of the coffee shop to rise up against you, and follows you out to the parking lot to yell at you some more. Then, after you escape, this complete stranger posts your picture on Facebook, vowing to find out where you live and work so she can make you “feel as unsafe as

[you]

made every brown person [you] met today.” All because you were wearing a hat she didn’t like. This actually happened in real life, earlier this week in Palo Alto.)

They stress a) that 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 $19,568 (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980; b) that 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; and c) that my Democrat Post Office superiors forced me resign in 1969 and disallowed my sick leave requests in 1969 and 1968. They stress my terrible demographics: Trump supporter, Protestant (baptized, raised, and confirmed as a Missouri Synod Lutheran), conservative, patriotic, Republican, American, White, male, old (born in 1948), non-poor, gun owner, 100% German American, draft avoider, and my ancestors have been in America since 1844.)

https://www.dailyherald.com/news/20190330/dupage-ballots-to-include-questions-about-taxes-consolidation
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Naperville Township Voters in Naperville Township will decide whether a previously approved plan to consolidate a road district should be scrapped in favor of another proposal to dissolve the small unit of government. Residents in Naperville and Lisle townships in 2017 approved a measure to combine their road districts to form one agency. The consolidation is scheduled to take effect May 2021. But Naperville Township officials put a new question on the ballot that asks voters if they want to follow a state law that allows the township government to absorb the road district. Naperville Township officials say they believe the outcome of Tuesday’s vote would supersede the decision from two years ago. But they don’t know for certain that the idea of absorbing the road district into the township legally can replace the previously approved — and now required — merger.)

What if GAO had agreed to participate? What if the Chicago Tribune had distributed a confidential survey to me? Back then, my Democrat GAO superiors used Affirmative Action, Diversity, Inclusion, up-or-out, and Republican-led budget cuts a) to hire, retain, and promote young Democrat minorities and young Democrat females and b) to make way for them by getting rid of their employees like me who were Republican, male, older, and/or non-veteran.)

Compensation and perks are factors, but the more important components include opportunities for professional growth and being treated with respect. To qualify, a workplace must have at least 100 employees in the Chicago area. Nominations are open to all employers, including nonprofits. Nominated companies that agree to participate will distribute to employees between April and July an easy-to-complete, confidential survey developed by the Tribune’s research partner, Energage, which will calculate the list of top workplaces.)

HERALD & REVIEW
— MARCH 1, 2019 FLASHBACK: Smaller governmental units cost less – Bryan Smith, Decatur
https://herald-review.com/opinion/letters/letter-smaller-governmental-units-cost-less/article_0056cd63-4272-5108-9df8-226415c421a3.html
(FROM THE LETTER: I am responding to the Herald & Review’s piece (“Time to address reducing some governing layers,” Feb. 24) in which it’s stated that Illinois’ taxes are high because there are too many forms of government. As the executive director of the Township Officials of Illinois, I’d like to share some important data from the Illinois Comptroller’s office that clearly dispels those claims. Indeed, state reporting shows that smaller units of local government in Illinois cost taxpayers less than larger units of government. This can be seen among municipalities where taxes per resident tend to be higher where governments are larger. There has been an aggressive push to eliminate township government in Illinois, often based on information that is simply not true. Townships, which are generally smaller, have had the lowest tax increase rates in recent decades among the various types of government in the state. Further, township labor costs per employee are also the lowest of any government type. Local democracy is stronger where local governments are smaller. If townships were to be eliminated and forced into consolidating with units of government with higher cost structures, taxes, spending and debt are likely to increase. Just as bad, it would make local governments less responsive to constituents. This is no way to reduce taxes.)

https://www.dailyherald.com/news/20190330/how-waves-of-immigrants-are-overwhelming-asylum-process
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Illegally crossing the border is a criminal offense, but asylum is a matter for civil courts. And that is where change is most needed, says David Iglesias, a Wheaton College professor who prosecuted many criminal cases between 2001 and 2007 as U.S. attorney for the District of New Mexico. “The laws haven’t caught up,” says Iglesias, director of the Wheaton Center for Faith, Politics and Economics. Some people seeking asylum might not meet the legal requirements when it comes to race, religion, nationality, political opinion or membership in a particular social group, but they still have a well-founded fear of persecution due to gangs or violence in their homeland, Iglesias said. Asylum is granted unevenly. Statistics from 2015 show that New York City immigration judges denied 16 percent of asylum requests, while judges in Atlanta denied 98 percent.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Burnout is caused by chronic stress, not stressors, the Nagoskis say in their book. It’s important to differentiate the two. Stressors are external: to-do lists, financial problems or anxiety about the future. Stress, on the other hand, “is the neurological and physiological shift that happens in your body when you encounter [stressors],” the Nagoskis write. To fix burnout, people need to address the stress itself. They must allow their body to complete its stress response cycle. Instead, people tend to focus on stressors. “They assume their stress will go away if they’re on top of things, if they’re accomplishing things and constantly checking things off their to-do list,” Emily Nagoski says.)

— Why an anti-Ocasio-Cortez chant at a Trump rally was all but inevitable – Philip Bump (DIERSEN: Since 1999, I have the best record by far for attending Milton Township Republican Central Committee (MTRCC) meetings and fundraisers. Of course, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes who are MTRCC members would love to get anti-Diersen chants going at MTRCC meetings and fundraisers. I should write a book about my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes who are MTRCC members.)

COLUMBUS DISPATCH
— Targeted ads have Facebook in trouble with HUD – AP (DIERSEN: How bad are your demographics? From what I see, the more of the following that you are, the more that employers do NOT target you in their ads: Trump supporter, Protestant, conservative, patriotic, Republican, American, White, male, older, rich, gun owner, German American, draft avoider, and/or if your ancestors have been in America for a long time.)

https://www.dispatch.com/news/20190329/targeted-ads-have-facebook-in-trouble-with-hud
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The federal government charged Facebook with high-tech housing discrimination Thursday for allegedly allowing landlords and real estate brokers to systematically exclude groups such as non-Christians, immigrants and minorities from seeing ads for houses and apartments. . .Just last week, Facebook agreed to overhaul its targeting system and abandon some of the practices singled out by HUD to prevent discrimination, not just in housing listings but in credit and employment ads as well. The move was part of a settlement with the American Civil Liberties Union and other activists.)

— Will We Ever Tire of Calling Presidents Illegitimate? The public seems to be the only real check on this mania among the elite – Gerard Baker (DIERSEN: Who hints/implies/argues/shouts that you are illegitimate? Since 2000, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes in Wheaton, in Glen Ellyn, in Milton Township, in DuPage County, and in Illinois have hinted/implied/argued/shouted that I am NOT a legitimate journalist. I should sue them.)

— ‘Snowplowing’: When Parents Try to Clear All Obstacles After the rise of ‘helicopter parenting’ there’s now another way to overprotect children—seen at its extreme in the college admissions scandal – Ben Zimmer (DIERSEN: What obstacles did your parents clear for you? My outstanding parents could not clear many obstacles for me. Neither of them attended college. My father died suddenly in 1969 when he was 47 and I was 21. He was the first of his ancestors to earn a high school diploma. He worked in the office of a nasty chemical plant. He almost always worked second jobs to pay the family’s bills. He did not buy a new car until he was 47, and it was a bottom-of-the-line 2-door Chevy. My mother never attended high school.)

— Why pay transparency alone won’t eliminate the persistent wage gap between men and women – Nancy Modesitt (DIERSEN: If I had been a woman, the federal government would have promoted me into its Senior Executive Service long before I was 40 years old. 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.)
https://phys.org/news/2019-03-transparency-wont-persistent-wage-gap.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The federal workforce, where the pay gap is significantly lower than in the private sector, can also be seen as support for the argument that pay transparency helps reduce it. The federal wage gap ranges from about 4 percent to 9 percent, when controlling for relevant factors that affect pay, compared with 8 percent to 18 percent among all employers.)
