— Justice Department must operate free from political influence – Editorial (DIERSEN: I have always been a Republican. A major reason why I agreed to suffer a $19,203 (26%) pay cut in today’s dollars in 1980 to transfer from IRS to GAO was that GAO claimed that it was “free of political influence.” I soon learned that was completely false. GAO hired me in 1980 because it could not find a qualified Democrat, minority, female, younger person, or veteran who would take the job. Were it not for federal Civil Service protections, GAO would NOT have hired me in 1980, would NOT have let me work there for almost 18 years, and would NOT have promoted me in 1986. If GAO was free of political influence, a) it would NOT have forced me to retire in 1997 when I was 49 years old, b) it would NOT have given me unfair performance expectations and appraisals, c) it would NOT have always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes, d) it would NOT have failed/refused to promote me beyond GS-13, e) it would NOT have gotten rid of my mentor in 1987, f) it would NOT have kept me off audits of IRS for all but 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for GAO, and g) it would NOT have forced me to take an $19,203 pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980.)

They also pray for GOD a) to give them booze, gambling, pot, and other vices and b) to get rid of those like me who support the traditional family, right to life, immigration, Second Amendment, and the rest of the planks in the Republican Party platform and Illinois Republican Party platform and the MTRCC resolution against video gambling.)

— A Celebration of Spanish Conquest Ends in New Mexico. Not Everyone Is Pleased. – Simon Romero
https://www.nytimes.com/2018/09/08/us/new-mexico-la-entrada.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: For as long as nearly anyone here can remember, Hispanic residents have donned the garb of conquistadors and European nobility once a year to celebrate the 1692 reconquest of New Mexico from Native Americans who submitted to the Spanish Empire after a grisly revolt. But after escalating protests by Native Americans who saw the reenactment as a racist attempt to gloss over atrocities carried out by Spanish colonizers, the annual tradition known as the Entrada officially came to an end on Friday, replaced by a multidenominational prayer gathering to begin the annual Fiesta de Santa Fe. The move, aimed at forging reconciliation in the 411-year-old city, was an attempt to avoid the kind of turmoil that authorities elsewhere in the country are grappling with over Confederate monuments and other symbols of historic brutality, including statues honoring European conquerors. The end of the Entrada is rekindling debate over how to portray New Mexico’s complex history, marked by centuries of enslavement of Native Americans, military conquest by Spain and the United States and attempts to depict the state as a place where Hispanics, Native Americans and Anglos, or non-Hispanic whites, peacefully coexist.)

USA TODAY
— Obama takes his anti-Trump message to Orange County, California – once a GOP stronghold – Chris Woodyard (DIERSEN: One could compare and contrast Orange County in California with DuPage County in Illinois.)
https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2018/09/08/barack-obama-takes-anti-trump-message-orange-county-california/1239129002/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Democrats are counting on a strong showing in California in November’s elections in the battle to take control of Congress. They are targeting several congressional districts. While Democrats have gained, Republicans overall still have a registration edge in the county — 563,992 to 516,121 at the start of the year, according to the California Secretary of State’s office. Demographics have changed with an influx of Latinos, Asians and other immigrants. The county’s economy has evolved away from manufacturing and to more services and high-tech jobs that attract white-collar workers who are inclined to vote Democratic. Like much of the country, unemployment is low in Orange County and the economy is strong, meaning turnout could be more dependent on anger about Trump and his policies rather than dissatisfaction with the state of the nation.)

CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— FRONT PAGE: Workers at Lincoln Park seniors home stole $600,000 from 97-year-old resident with dementia, public guardian’s suit alleges – Elyssa Cherney and Christy Gutowski (DIERSEN: Since 2009, I have had power of attorney for property and for health for my outstanding aunt who will soon be 88 years old and has a debilitating diagnosis of dementia. She never attended college, she never married, she worked as a low-paid keypunch operator, she lived frugally, and she saved about $600,000 for her retirement. Since 2010, she has lived in an assisted living facility that is currently charging her $239 a day or $87,235 a year. She still has about $470,000 of the about $600,000 that she saved. I can account for all of her income and for all of her expenses since 2009. Of course, I have not charged her anything for the many hours that I have spent managing her financial and health matters. She was one of those who taught me how to drive a car.)
http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/breaking/ct-met-symphony-nursing-home-lawsuit-20180906-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: With no living relatives and a debilitating diagnosis of dementia, Grace Watanabe had nowhere else to turn. The 97-year-old needed help with her finances and looked for guidance at Symphony Residences of Lincoln Park, a senior facility where she had been staying since 2010. Watanabe, who was forced to live at a Japanese internment camp during World War II, had built up a life savings of $600,000 over a lengthy career as a federal government employee. But instead of helping Watanabe, a group of workers at the home are accused of draining her assets in a yearlong scheme that included cashing checks, making ATM withdrawals and transferring money online without her consent, according to a lawsuit filed Thursday by acting Cook County Public Guardian Charles Golbert. Virtually all of her life savings are gone, the lawsuit said. “I’ve never seen this level of corruption from the very highest levels to the very lowest levels,” Golbert said. “These Symphony employees were paid to assist the residents with the care they needed. Instead, they took advantage of Ms. Watanabe’s vulnerabilities to access her money.”)

— Lawsuit alleges worker not paid prevailing wage on city job – Crystal Thomas (DIERSEN: What is your prevailing wage, that is, how much money should you be paid per hour based on your education, your work experience, your professional certifications, your professional licenses, etc.? In today’s dollars, in 1997, when I was 49 years old, GAO paid me $125,325/year or $60.25/hour. I had almost 18 years of experience working for GAO and almost 9 years of experience working for IRS. I had 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 (CPA), 32 (Certified Internal Auditor), 41 (Certified Fraud Examiner), 45 (Certified Government Financial Manager), 47 (Certified Financial Services Auditor), and 48 (Forensic Accountant), and c) a job-related professional license (licensed CPA) when I was 32.)

POLITICO ILLINOIS
— Trumpism is taking a toll on Republican races in Illinois, though GOP leaders are optimistic the president’s behavior won’t hurt candidates too much. “His behavior hurts Republicans. You can’t engage in that kind of conduct, those kinds of tweets, and come to a conclusion that it doesn’t hurt Republicans,” said Pat Brady, the former state GOP chair. “But people have been able to differentiate between Trump’s persona and his policies” of tax cuts and deregulation. “People make the distinction.” Recent polls may be showing otherwise. Last night, the New York Times conducted a so-called live poll in suburban Chicago’s 6th Congressional District. Incumbent Rep. Peter Roskam (R) took 45 percent to Sean Casten (D)’s 44 percent—with 11 percent undecided. Respondents also were asked whether they approve or disapprove of Trump’s job performance—57 percent disapproved, compared to 36 percent who approved. That’s quite a drag on Roskam. It’s one of the reasons that, earlier this week, POLITICO’s inaugural congressional race ratings categorized Roskam v. Casten as “lean Republican,” a designation suggesting the incumbent only has a narrow edge. Three other Republican-controlled Illinois House races showed up on the list as “lean Republican”: Rep. Mike Bost (R) v. Brendan Kelly (D) in the 12th District; Rep. Rodney Davis (R) v. Betsy Dirksen Londrigan (D) in the 13th District; and Rep. Randy Hultgren (R) v. Lauren Underwood (D) in the 14th District. – Shia Kapos

However, they should acknowledge that if I was still working for GAO at the GS-13 Step 10 level, I would have paid $182,039 more into the CSRS in today’s dollars and the CSRS would have paid me nothing.)

FED SMITH
— Would You Recommend the Government as an Employer? – Jeff Neal (DIERSEN: Overwhelmingly, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes demonize, denigrate, and condemn past, present, and future federal employees. Many millions have not and will not seek a job with the federal government a) because the pay and benefits are terrible compared to big private sector employers, b) because the advancement opportunities are terrible compared to big private sector employers, 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. Non-veteran White males who are seeking a job with the federal government should be advised that with only rare exceptions, a) the longer that you are a federal employee, the less likely that private sector employers will hire you, b) your career will be wasted and you will be gotten rid of if you do not make GS-13 (currently $96,403) by age 25, GS-14 (currently $113,920) by age 30, GS-15 (currently $134,000) by age 35, and Senior Executive Service (currently $164,200) by age 40, c) you will be expected to help your superiors and supervisors get rid of their employees who are Republican, White, male, older, and/or non-veteran, and d) virtually everyone despises if not hates federal employees, former federal employees, and federal retirees.)
https://www.fedsmith.com/2018/09/06/recommend-government-employer/

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Why the Government is Not a Good Employer Bureaucracy There are rules for the rules. Bureaucratic hurdles can be maddening to folks who are trying to get work done. While there may be good reasons for some of the red tape, much of it is the variety that no one in the private sector would impose. Inflexible Pay About three quarters of the workforce is covered by the General Schedule or a GS-derived pay plan. Once an employee is hired, pay raises follow rigid rules that do not take into account how well or poorly the employee performs. Entry level pay for high demand jobs may not be competitive, and bonuses for most workers are insignificant. There are no stock options or other pay incentives, and an employee who saves millions of dollars may get a bonus that is trivial. Slow Promotions Great employees whose performance is exceptional can typically be promoted no more than once per year. That unnecessary restriction can drive great employees away, or cause great candidates to decline a federal job. Politics The biggest problem may be our toxic political system. Federal workers have been the targets of opportunistic politicians for years. A great example is those on the right and left calling federal law enforcement officers “jackbooted thugs” at different times in the past 20 years and more recent complaints about Transportation Security Officers calling them “government gropers.” Internal Revenue Service employees are criticized for doing their jobs, and every ten years Census Bureau enumerators are physically attacked while they are carry out a constitutional duty. Then there are the complaints about government workers calling them lazy, incompetent or unable to find “real jobs.”)

https://abc7chicago.com/politics/ayanna-pressley-chicago-native-wins-massachusetts-primary/4153426/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Chicago born-and-raised Ayanna Pressley is all but assured of becoming the first black woman elected to Congress from Massachusetts, the latest example of the Democratic Party’s embrace of diversity and liberal politics as the recipe for success in the Trump era. The 44-year-old’s upset victory against longtime Democratic Rep. Michael Capuano in Tuesday’s primary sets the stage for Pressley to represent an area once served by Tip O’Neill and John F. Kennedy. Her win comes at the tail end of a primary season in which black politicians have made a series of advances. Another bombshell primary win for a black woman as the mid-term elections approach. The Boston city councilor is poised to make history, as she becomes the latest — and perhaps the biggest – win for an emboldened progressive wing of the Democratic Party.)

The Chicago Daily Law Bulletin reports that Judge Harry Leinenweber tossed the libel suit last week. He concluded that the comments about David Freydin and the Law Offices of David Freydin were opinions and amounted to protected speech. Freydin alleged the comments were “salacious, false and libelous.” Some were anti-Semitic. The Chicago-area lawyer also noted the reviewers gave him and his firm one-star ratings out of a possible five even though he never worked with them. The lawsuit names four defendants and refers to 10 others as “John Does.”)

POLITICO ILLINOIS
— There’s an ad war in the 6th District congressional race between Republican incumbent Peter Roskam and Democratic challenger Sean Casten. Each has new ads focusing on Casten’s business record. Congressional Leadership Fund, the super PAC endorsed by House Republican leadership, is out with an ad titled “Fraud.” It repeats the claim that Casten’s business record is “clouded by scandal and allegations of fraud” and that he was “sued by investors for mismanagement.” It wraps up describing Casten as a “Madigan-machine politician.” Ad here (Casten’s camp has said the disputes were amicably resolved and his employees and investors protected.) Casten’s new ad, titled “Creating jobs, protecting our environment,” shows Casten ticking off his career successes and goals for working in Congress: “employing clean energy technologies, creating jobs, bringing an outsider common-sense approach to the job.” He vows to work with Republicans “when it helps Illinois” but stand up against Donald Trump “when his policies hurt our district.” Ad here The two men are locked in one of the most contentious races in the country, as indicated by POLITICO’s Race Ratings. The seat is rated “lean Republican.” – Shia Kapos

THE WEEK
— APRIL 10, 2018 FLASHBACK: Homeland Security wants to monitor journalists. Time to sound the alarm. – Bonnie Kristian (DIERSEN: Of course, my critics/opponents do not want Google News Alerts to bring articles to my attention that they disapprove of. Do you stand with me, or do you stand with my critics/opponents? My critics/opponents a) reject planks in the Republican Party platform and/or the Illinois Republican Party platform and work against those like me who support those planks, b) reject the Milton Township Republican Central Committee resolution against video gambling and work against those like me who support that resolution, c) focus on destroying those like me who they cannot manipulate/dominate, d) were defendants in lawsuits that I have filed, and/or e) are operatives or dupes for the aforesaid.)
http://theweek.com/articles/766230/homeland-security-wants-monitor-journalists-time-sound-alarm
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The Department of Homeland Security intends to list and track hundreds of thousands of news outlets, journalists, bloggers, and “influencers” in traditional and new media alike. Its plan is to analyze targets’ “sentiment,” monitor “any and all” coverage of select news stories, and possibly share data with “federal, state, local, tribal, and private partners.” If you find yourself skeptical of this proposal of mass state monitoring of the press, consider yourself a bonafide member of the “tinfoil hat wearing, black helicopter conspiracy theorists,” DHS representative Tyler Houlton said Friday. It’s all very routine, he argued, casting the project as an innocent means of “monitoring current events.” Just shut up and let us do this, crackpots. Yet I am bareheaded, untroubled by black whirlybirds, and utterly unconvinced. Consider the practical incongruities. While a database of the sort DHS wants could be used to follow news stories, it isn’t necessary for the job. From basic Google News alerts to subscription services with more robust analytic functionality, news tracking programs already exist. Likewise, if DHS needs “to build media lists based on beat, location, outlet type/size, and journalist role,” as its specs document says, an existent public relations service would easily do the trick. The Department of Homeland Security in the Year of Our Lord 2018 is not the first entity to realize this information might be valuable to collect and analyze for more successful press release distribution.)

— Mexican flag flies proudly over town where illegal alien killed Mollie Tibbetts – Ed Straker
https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2018/09/mexican_flag_flies_proudly_over_town_where_illegal_alien_killed_mollie_tibbetts.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: When an invading army captures a town, they usually run up the flag, to show who’s in charge. But in America, we don’t need an occupying army. We do it to ourselves. Witness the town of Brooklyn, Iowa, where Mollie Tibbetts was murdered by an illegal alien, which proudly flies the flag of Mexico. According to the liberal media, Brooklyn was one big happy multicultural town, until conservatives ruined it by complaining about the illegal alien who murdered Mollie. Really. …police found Tibbetts’s body discarded in a cornfield. They charged Cristhian Bahena Rivera, a local farmhand, with her murder. And they announced that Rivera, who had no prior criminal history, was an undocumented Mexican immigrant. For most people in Brooklyn, though, Rivera’s legal status is a distraction. This time should be about Mollie, they say, not the man accused of killing her. This is the liberal line. On the statistically rare occasions when a white person kills a black, the liberal media can talk about nothing else other than the race of the accused. But when an illegal alien does the killing, they don’t want to talk about perpetrators. They treat it like the weather. It’s just something that happens.)

https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2018/sep/2/as-democrats-move-left-they-must-replace-the-ameri/
(
FROM THE ARTICLE: The “progressives”’ game plan to re-acquire power in Washington and make it permanent has been shockingly obvious for some time: Import millions of illegal immigrants, hook them on government aid and turn them into voters — legally or illegally. Two Democrats running for Congress in Texas have come out for decriminalizing illegal immigration, along with Beto O’Rourke, who is running for Ted Cruz’s U.S. Senate seat. Virtually all Democratic office holders oppose voter ID laws. In March, Nation magazine writer Sean McElwee called for abolishing the Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agency (ICE), a demand repeated by “progressives” around the country. The Washington Post has editorialized against adding a question about citizenship to the U.S. Census, saying it looks “suspiciously like an underhanded way to depress Democratic representation in Washington.” Districts with high numbers of illegal aliens who cannot legally vote have an advantage because the Census determines congressional seats and presidential electors based on population. So, the more illegals, the merrier for Democrats. The Dems must replace the American electorate because their plunge into “free” government health care, “free” college tuition, open borders, confiscatory taxes, anti-police rhetoric, activist judges and bizarre sexual politics is alienating more and more “everyday” Americans. The left needs new voting blocs. It’s the only way they’ll stay competitive, especially when the Trump administration has the economy roaring like a Ferrari. Millions of evangelical Christians and moderate-to-conservative Catholics voted for Mr. Trump because they saw him as their best bet against a hostile Deep State and its media allies. Portions of the IRS, the FBI and other federal agencies had been criminally politicized under President Obama, and Hillary Clinton would have finished the job. With state power unchecked since the Reagan years, Uncle Sam has morphed into Nurse Ratched, presiding over a giant sanitarium. That’s the issue ignored by the media: Democrats are at war with normalcy of any kind and want to impose their cracked view of reality on the rest of us.)

https://www.dailyherald.com/business/20180901/so-how-does-the-mysterious-google-search-engine-really-work
(FROM THE ARTICLE: This is where the more subjective parts of Google’s search engine come in. Over 100 factors – from where the user is located to how recently a given webpage was updated – contribute to how highly a certain result may appear. In addition, the company’s famous PageRank algorithm, developed by co-founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin, plays a role in determining the authoritativeness of a given source. Google executives are hesitant to discuss the specifics of their software, for fear of encouraging those who may seek to game the algorithm. And a core aspect of Trump’s critique is that Google is mistaken in the way that it assigns authority in the first place. But, said Pandu Nayak, the head of Google’s search ranking team, Google tests its own search results with regular humans to ensure that the search engine does what it is meant to do: Provide relevant and authoritative results. “We’ve developed a detailed series of guidelines about what it means to be authoritative,” said Nayak in an interview. “It’s a 160-page document, it’s been publicly available on the Web for several years now, and it’s our representation about what it means to give relevant and authoritative results. Raters must study it and pass a test” before they can participate in the evaluation process. Google News’ secret sauce Some of Trump’s criticism appears to revolve around which stories appear in Google News. Recent changes to Google News have turned it into a much more personalized product. The company now apples artificial intelligence and accounts more for your expressed preferences. This approach has given rise to questions about what determines News results and just how much its engineers truly understand about the decisions their AI is making. A consistent theme in current machine learning research is that the algorithms are typically black boxes – often, the only way to determine why an algorithm made a decision is to try to reverse-engineer the logic from the results. Influencing the sauce? Still, it appears, companies and individuals can influence Google search results. Reverse-engineering Google has practically become something of a cottage industry, particularly in media. Publishers are constantly trying to find ways to compete for visibility on Google News and on Google Search. For example, Google’s tendency to favor recency, or “freshness,” incentivizes companies such as The Washington Post to create their webpages with metadata keywords that the search engine can easily read. But not even the best experts can know for sure whether their techniques are working. “The file that has the smart meta-title on it is the file that people land on for the latest updates,” said Megan Chan, director of digital operations at The Post. “A lot of it is trial and error.” While The Post has a relationship with Google on special initiatives such as The Trust Project, an effort to promote integrity in journalism, Google does not use those relationships to provide insights into how its algorithms work, Chan said.)

— College students say they want a degree for a job. Are they getting what they want? – Jeffrey J. Selingo (DIERSEN: My Democrat superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates in the federal government always hinted/implied/argued/shouted that the undergraduate and graduate courses that I took a) were not job-related, b) did not help me carry out my job duties, c) were taken by me to get a job in the private sector, and d) were a distraction. To keep their jobs and to get promoted, my Democrat superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates in the federal government focused on getting rid of federal employees who were Republican, White, male, older, and/or non-veteran.)

BUFFALO NEWS
— Take a measure of your eyesight this month – Judith Whitehead (DIERSEN: How is your eyesight? My eyesight has never been correctable to 20/20 and I have always had partial red/green color blindness. I can no longer put off cataract surgery.)
https://buffalonews.com/2018/09/01/take-a-measure-of-your-eyesight-this-month/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: As we age, loss of vision becomes more prevalent, depending on family history, health and certain eye diseases. If conditions such as Macular Degeneration, diabetes and glaucoma run in your family, you need to make sure you have regular eye exams. Eye diseases often have no early symptoms but can be detected during a dilated eye evaluation. There are more than 40 million Americans over the age of 65 and this number is growing rapidly. By the 2050, there will be more than 88 million people in this age group. As our life expectancy increases, so do our eye conditions. The number of people living with poor vision is projected to triple. Fortunately in our country, conditions such as cataracts don’t have to cause blindness as they do in other countries. We are lucky enough to have accessible health care in most areas of America. We need to make sure we take care of our aging population. Keep an eye on aging relatives and friends – loss of vision is gradual and easily goes undetected. Early detection and treatment is always the key to saving your sight.)

— Don’t take age too seriously – Deborah Mitchell
https://www.sedaliademocrat.com/opinion/don-t-take-age-too-seriously/article_63561c43-c4ba-5fd0-a12b-f20a7a92078c.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: After my cataract surgery, I remember saying that I was officially a geezer. Well, that wasn’t true. NOW I am officially a geezer. My Medicare card arrived yesterday in the mail. You know, that red, white and blue card that all of us geezers carry around in our wallets. I opened the envelope from the Department of Health and Human Services and saw the cheery greeting on the cover letter: “Welcome to Medicare!” Seeing the card felt really weird, I suppose because I have never taken my age seriously. I remember being 30 all those years ago and thinking, “I wonder when I will feel as if I am an adult?” I wondered the same thing when I turned 35. Not long after that, though, adulthood came crashing down because Emily was born, and all of a sudden, I realized that I was responsible for another human being. That made me sit up and take notice. But truly, I have never paid attention to the fact that age was creeping up because I have never felt my age. My BFF Susan and I were talking a few months ago – OK, it was probably a couple of years ago, but who can remember, because they’re all running together at this point – about how we both felt as if we were much younger than our mothers when they were our age (we share the same age), whatever it was at the time.)

— Medical/Vision Conditions
http://www.cyberdriveillinois.com/departments/drivers/drivers_license/medical_vision.html
(FROM THE POSTING: If you know someone you feel could jeopardize traffic safety as the result of a medical condition, contact the individual’s doctor or a police officer and request that the Secretary of State’s office investigate. You may submit a Vision Specialist Report completed by a licensed optometrist, ophthalmologist or physician, instead of an in-person vision screening at a Driver Services facility. Visual reading requirements are as follows: The minimum requirement for visual acuity is 20/40 acuity with or without corrective lenses. Drivers with acuity between 20/41 and 20/70 are limited to daylight driving only. You must have at least 140 degree peripheral vision (the ability to see to the side) to have a license without restrictions. This is with or without corrective lenses.)

That’s the lowest rate of return among all 102 counties in Illinois, according to a recently released study conducted by researchers at the Paul Simon Public Policy Institute at Southern Illinois University in Carbondale. – Jake Griffin (DIERSEN: One could argue that Illinois is financially dependent on DuPage County. One could argue that without DuPage County, Illinois would have to immediately file for bankruptcy. DuPage County is run by Republicans. One could argue that if more statewide candidates were elected from DuPage County, Illinois would not be having the financial problems that it is having. Aside from Evelyn Sanguinetti, the last statewide candidate from DuPage County elected was Jim Ryan. Further, when James “Pate” Philip from DuPage County was President of the Illinois Senate, Illinois was much more fiscally responsible.)

About half the Diersens stayed with the church as it dumped the Missouri Synod and moved to the Wisconsin Synod.

DAILY CALLER
— CONSERVATIVES AT FACEBOOK FORM ‘FB’ERS FOR POLITICAL DIVERSITY’ TO COMBAT COMPANY’S IDEOLOGICAL ECHOCHAMBER – Kyle Perisic (DIERSEN: Conservative Republican Precinct Committeemen/Captains in Illinois should organize and form an association. It could be named the “Association of Conservative Republican Precinct Committeemen/Captains of Illinois” or ACRPCI. In your township/ward and in your county, what percent of the Republican Precinct Committeemen/Captains are conservative? What have they done that shows that they support the traditional family, right to life, immigration, Second Amendment, and the rest of the planks in the Illinois Republican Party platform?)
https://dailycaller.com/2018/08/28/facebook-political-diversity-james-damore/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: More than one hundred conservative Facebook employees have joined an internal employee message board to protest what they call the company’s “intolerant” liberal culture. The group, “FB’ers for Political Diversity,” was created last week, The New York Times reported Tuesday, and aims to promote ideological diversity within the company. Facebook’s workforce of more than 25,000 is viewed as largely liberal. “We are a political monoculture that’s intolerant of different views,” wrote senior Facebook engineer and group cofounder Brian Amerige in a post, The NYT added. “We claim to welcome all perspectives, but are quick to attack — often in mobs — anyone who presents a view that appears to be in opposition to left-leaning ideology.” Amerige’s post continues to criticize Facebook’s emphasis on racial and gender diversity and how it, along with the company’s overt liberal bias, threatens the “viability as a company.” Facebook banned a dissenting conservative group in December 2016, Business Insider reported in August 2017. The group, “Facebook Anon,” was an anonymous group chat for supporters of then-candidate Donald Trump. It was shut down for violating Facebook’s policies against anonymous accounts, but Business Insider reported that the talks “turned ugly and … alarmed management.” Amerige’s post echoes similar concerns of a memo former Google engineer James Damore wrote in August 2017 that criticized Google’s “ideological echo chamber,” The Daily Caller reported. “[W]e tear down posters welcoming Trump supporters. We regularly propose removing [tech investor Peter] Thiel from our board because he supported Trump,” Amerige wrote. “We’re quick to suggest firing people who turn out to be misunderstood, and even quicker to conclude our colleagues are bigots.” Amerige added that Facebook has made “all lives matter” a “fireable offense” and that human resources investigates anyone who dares “criticize Islam’s human rights record.” Amerige’s concerns are not without any evidence. Facebook cofounder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg has donated to left-leaning campaigns in the 2018 and 2020 elections, The Daily Caller News Foundation reported on Aug. 23. Facebook also has a well-documented history of removing conservative content, some of which was restored with an apologized after public backlash. (RELATED: Facebook Flags New York Post Article About Trump Voters As ‘Spam’) Facebook has also removed videos and shadow banned content. Facebook apologize for mistakenly removing videos from the popular conservative page PragerU on Aug. 17, The Daily Caller reported. FB’ers for Political Diversity’s only rule is “if you attack a person’s character, rather than their ideas, you will be banned.”)

https://washingtonmonthly.com/2018/08/28/republicans-make-a-list-of-trump-scandals-theyre-covering-up/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: What Newt saw to is what Paul Glastris and Haley Sweetland Edwards called, “The Big Lobotomy.” A quick refresher: In 1995, after winning a majority in the House for the first time in forty years, one of the first things the new Republican House leadership did was gut Congress’s workforce. They cut the “professional staff” (the lawyers, economists, and investigators who work for committees rather than individual members) by a third. They reduced the “legislative support staff” (the auditors, analysts, and subject-matter experts at the Government Accountability Office [GAO], the Congressional Research Service [CRS], and so on) by a third, too, and killed off the Office of Technology Assessment (OTA) entirely…Since 2011, with a Tea Party-radicalized GOP back in control of the House, Congress has cut its budget by a whopping 20 percent, a far higher ratio than any other federal agency, leading, predictably, to staff layoffs, hiring and salary freezes, and drooping morale.)
— JUNE/JULY/AUGUST 2014 FLASHBACK: The Big Lobotomy How Republicans Made Congress Stupid – Paul Glastris and Haley Sweetland Edwards (DIERSEN: I worked for GAO 1980-1997. One could say that the Democrats who ran GAO in 1997 forced me to take their early retirement “offer” to punish Newt Gingrich.)
https://washingtonmonthly.com/magazine/junejulyaug-2014/the-big-lobotomy/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The third target of Gingrich’s attacks was the legislative support agencies. The Government Accountability Office, Congressional Budget Office, Congressional Research Service, and now-defunct Office of Technology Assessment operated on a bipartisan basis, offering measured reports on topics suggested by members themselves. Sometimes, these agencies act as helpful librarians, and sometimes they’re more like referees, carefully adjudicating among the competing quantitative claims of various members and outside groups. Gingrich, perhaps not surprisingly, viewed them all as potential rivals to his singular narrative.)

— 6 Ways Healthy Office Competition Builds Teams and Improves Productivity – John Rampton (DIERSEN: When you got promotions, what competition did you face? GAO is in the legislative branch. My Democrat GAO superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates had a very low opinion of executive branch employees like I was for almost 12 years (Post Office 1966-1969 and IRS 1971-1980). They always hinted/implied/argued/shouted that I got promoted in 1972, 1973, and 1974 only because the IRS employees who I competed against for those promotions were inferior people. They always hinted/implied/argued/shouted that GAO would never have hired me in 1971, and if it had, it would never have promoted me in 1972, 1973, or 1974. They stressed that I did not earn an MBA until 1976, that I did not pass the CPA examination until 1979, and that I did not earn a master’s degree in accounting until 1980.)

CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— DISGUSTING, TRAGIC: POT PUSHERS ARE OVERJOYED: Rauner set to sign medical marijuana expansion bill allowing drug as painkiller alternative – Robert McCoppin
http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/breaking/ct-met-medical-marijuana-opioids-illinois-expansion-20180827-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: In general, Rauner has opposed expanding the medical marijuana program, but a recent poll showing Pritzker with a large lead may have put pressure on him to support the politically popular measure. In addition, Rauner recently approved other measures requiring insurance coverage for opioid abuse and continuing education for doctors about opioid prescriptions. Kevin Sabet, president of Smart Approaches to Marijuana, opposes the expansion of medical marijuana, warning that it could lead to more addiction, more drivers who are under the influence and more users suffering from the drug’s harmful effects on attention, memory, decision-making and brain development. “From a scientific perspective, it makes no sense,” Sabet said. “The most comprehensive study on the issue was just published in The Lancet and found marijuana didn’t help with pain, nor did it reduce opioid use. “From a political perspective,” Sabet added, “it likely signals he feels pressure from J.B. Pritzker, who has welcomed pot with open arms.” But in states that have legalized medical marijuana, some studies have shown a decrease in opioid prescriptions and in opioid-related overdose deaths. Cannabis remains illegal under federal law.)

DAILY HERALD
— Tollway board sees nothing wrong with dubious hiring – Editorial (DIERSEN: Does the Daily Herald see reasons for skepticism a) after 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 an $19,203 pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980; b) after 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) after my Democrat Post Office superiors forced me resign in 1969 and disallowed my sick leave requests in 1969 and 1968? Because I have always been a Republican, were it not for federal civil service protections, a) the Post Office would NOT have hired me in 1966 or let me work there for almost 3 years, b) IRS would NOT have hired me in 1971 or let me work there for almost 9 years, c) IRS would NOT have promoted me in 1972, 1973, or 1974, d) GAO would NOT have hired me in 1980 or let me work there for almost 18 years, and e) GAO would NOT have promoted me in 1986. 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://www.dailyherald.com/discuss/20180828/editorial-tollway-board-sees-nothing-wrong-with-dubious-hiring
(FROM THE ARTICLE: For something is surely amiss somewhere when the tollway cannot see the reasons for skepticism after it selects a person with no engineering experience who has not worked since her job as an office-furniture sales associate 18 years ago but does have a family relationship to a top state political figure ahead of other candidates for a job overseeing engineering contracts.)

Needless-to-say, if you are a Republican who delivers Republican literature door-to-door, you should assume that Democrats and Democrat plants, Libertarians and Libertarian plants, Greens and Green plants, RINOs, and other anti-Trumps are watching you very closely, if not recording every move that you make and recording every word that you say. In my precinct, the anti-Trumps (of whom I estimate about 30 are registered Republican voters) watch me very closely when I deliver Republican literature door-to-door and they do everything that they can to discourage me from delivering that literature. Their tactics include closing their garage doors as I approach their homes. One registered Republican voter in my precinct angrily phoned me and demanded that I immediately come back to her home and take back the Republican literature that I had just left on her door. That literature was addressed to both her and to her registered Republican husband.)

— How to plan a debt-free vacation – SEAN PYLES (DIERSEN: Between 1978 and 1992, my wife and I went on many vacations. She worked for the U.S. League of Savings Institutions (https://www.investopedia.com/terms/u/u-s-league-of-savings-institutions.asp) which had quarterly meetings at luxury destinations across America which she attended as its Corporate Secretary. I routinely accompanied her on those trips. Often, after the meetings were over, we visited nearby national parks. Further, I went on vacations with a coworker to Hawaii, Mexico, Bahamas, and Jamaica while I worked for IRS 1973-1976. Needless-to-say, my envy-filled IRS and GAO Democrat superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates were beyond furious. Overwhelmingly, their spouses had little or no income.)

— Keep an old car running and you’ll save a fortune – Peter Dunn (DIERSEN: My not driving my 1972 Corvette has cost me a fortune. D&M Corvette in Downers Grove has appraised my 1972 Corvette at $41,500. But that was after I recently invested $6,702 in the car – $5,228 to D&M ($3,466 labor and $1,762 parts) and $1,474 to Coker Tire for 5 Firestone Wide Oval radial tires. I had not started the car for almost 9 years. Most of D&M’s bill was for repairing major damage that ethanol had done to car’s entire fuel system. The master cylinder and four calipers were replaced, A/C was charged, carburetor was rebuilt and fuel pump replaced, minor electrical and mechanical problems were fixed, five new tires were installed, new battery was installed, etc. I could have avoided much if not all of the fuel system and brake problems if I had driven the car more – at least once each summer. But my excuse for not starting the car since 2009 is that since 2004, I have spent 10+ hours each and every day putting GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails together and sending them out.)

In the suburbs, people paid more than $4.2 billion more in taxes than they got back. And downstate? They paid about $8 billion in taxes and got $12 billion worth of spending. The paper further separated areas of downstate and determined the central part of the region got back nearly twice as much as it paid in.)

They see 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. They see that my Democrat Post Office superiors forced me resign in 1969 and disallowed my sick leave requests in 1969 and 1968.

Of course, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes would shout at McCain that I got four student deferments 1966-1970 and a financial hardship draft deferment 1970-1971. They would shout at McCain that I was able to get those deferments because my parents and I were undeservedly filthy rich. But worse than that, they would shout at McCain that I was a political hypocrite and a coward.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Their increasingly combative relationship has served as a metaphor of sorts for the Republican Party: the former Vietnam POW and “proud conservative” who fell short to Barack Obama in his run for president in 2008 versus the loud draft avoider who rapidly seized control of the GOP and White House eight years later. . .Not long afterward, McCain appeared to take a shot at Trump for avoiding the draft during the Vietnam War. “One aspect of the [Vietnam] conflict by the way that I will never ever countenance is that we drafted the lowest income level of America, and the highest income level found a doctor that would say that they had a bone spur,” McCain said during an interview with CSPAN. McCain did not mention Trump by name, but his meaning appeared clear. Trump received five wartime deferments, including one in which a doctor diagnosed him with bone spurs.)

Present-day attendees drew comparisons between the current political climate and that of 1968, hoping to re-capture the energy of the past to bring about change. “If you don’t have a screaming opposition to scream at that, it will take over,” said Katy Nielsen, a present-day protestor. “Here we are 50 years later and not only is it continuing, it’s worse now in a lot of ways.”)

— Trump Measures That Made Firing Federal Workers Easier Are Gutted – Alexa Corse (DIERSEN: Constructively, being forced to retire is to be fired. My Democrat GAO superiors succeeded in forcing me to retire in 1997 when I was 49 years old.

Needless-to-say, I should sue my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes for slander.)
