NEW YORK TIMES
— New York Is Ousting Older Judges to Save Money. They’re Fighting Back. Dozens of judges are being forced to retire to close a pandemic budget gap. They have sued New York State, charging age discrimination. – Benjamin Weiser (DIERSEN: My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have always promoted political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination. They have always wanted the federal government to get rid of its employees who are Republican, White, male, and/or non-veteran who did not make GS-13 (currently $101,176) by age 25, GS-14 (currently $119,559) by age 30, GS-15 (currently $140,634) by age 35, and Senior Executive Service (currently $170,800) by age 40.) Extremely few federal employees make the aforesaid promotion deadlines. Further, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes want to oust conservative White male Republicans who are over 40 years old. In 1997, when I was 49 years old, they ousted me as a GAO employee. In 2004, when I was 56 years old, they ousted me as a Milton Township Republican Organization (MTRO) webmaster and American Association of Political Consultants Midwest Chapter board member. In 2007, when I was 59 years old, they ousted me as an Illinois Center Right Coalition Steering Committee member. In 2010, when I was 62 years old, they again ousted me as a MTRO webmaster. In 2011, when I was 63 years old, they ousted me as a Wheaton Chamber of Commerce Government Affairs Committee member. In 2012, when I was 64 years old, they ousted me as a TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois chairman.)

— How to Manage Performance Evaluations in the Work-From-Home Era – Julie Wees (DIERSEN: Government is nasty. Politics is nasty. My Democrat GAO superiors never alleged that performance problems justified the following adverse actions that they took against me: forcing me to retire in 1997 when I was 49 years old, not promoting me beyond GS-13, getting rid of my mentor in 1987, keeping me off audits of IRS for all but 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for GAO, and forcing me to take a $20,157 (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980. In Diersen v. GAO, I entered into the court record all the performance appraisals that GAO gave me 1980-1997.)

I would focus on present/past members of the Milton Township Republican Organization, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, Illinois Republican Party, TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois, Wheaton Chamber of Commerce, Illinois Center Right Coalition, and American Association of Political Consultants Midwest Chapter. I would focus on present/past officials and employees of Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois. I would focus on present/past Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct, their political consultants, their major donors, their campaign managers, their campaign staff members, and their campaign volunteers.

— The Unfinished Business of Office Diversity Training – Krithika Varagur (DIERSEN: To promote diversity is to get rid of those who are Trump supporters, conservative, patriotic, Republican, American, White, male, older, heterosexual, married, non-poor, gun owners, Christian, Protestant, Italian American, German American, and/or those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time.)

FED SMITH
— Increasing Performance Value in Reduction-in-Force (RIF) – Ralph R. Smith (DIERSEN: To deal with Republican-led budget cuts during the 1980s and 1990s, the Democrats who ran GAO got rid of their employees who were Republican, White, male, and/or non-veteran who they had not promoted to GS-13 (currently $101,176) by age 25, GS-14 (currently $119,559) by age 30, GS-15 (currently $140,634) by age 35, and Senior Executive Service (currently $170,800) by age 40. Extremely few GAO employees made the aforesaid promotion deadlines. Further, to keep GAO employees who were liberal/moderate, poor, LGBTQ, non-married, non-Christian, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or those whose ancestors have not been in America for a long time, the Democrats who ran GAO got rid of their employees who were conservative, non-poor, heterosexual, married, Christian, Protestant, German American, and/or those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time.)
https://www.fedsmith.com/2020/12/20/increasing-performance-value-in-reduction-in-force-rif/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The proposed regulations alter existing regulations regarding RIF procedures by modifying the order of retention, increasing the value of performance, and reducing the value of an employee’s length of service. This ranking procedure determines which employees will be retained—and which ones will not be retained—when an agency implements a RIF. Current RIF regulations place an employee’s performance as the last factor to consider when listing which employees will remain and which ones will go. The initial factors to consider in a RIF under current regulations are the “tenure of employment” followed by veterans preference and length of an employee’s federal service.)

Extremely few federal employees make the aforesaid promotion deadlines. My Democrat superiors in the federal government were furious that I did the following because it frustrated their efforts to get rid of me: 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.)

OPM wants to change the rules for retaining employees – Nicole Ogrysko (DIERSEN: During the 1980s and 1990s, the Democrats who ran GAO used Republican-led budget cuts to get rid of their employees who were Republican, White, male, and/or non-veteran who they had not promoted to GS-13 (currently $101,176) by age 25, GS-14 (currently $119,559) by age 30, GS-15 (currently $140,634) by age 35, and Senior Executive Service (currently $170,800) by age 40. Extremely few GAO employees made the aforesaid promotion deadlines.)

GOVERNMENT EXECUTIVE
— As White House Steps Up Schedule F Implementation, ‘Lawmakers Don’t Get It’ Recent moves by OPM are stoking fear that the Trump administration is accelerating plans to politicize federal jobs as the window closes on Congress’ ability to block the move. – ERICH WAGNER (DIERSEN: Are/were you a policy maker? In Diersen v. GAO, GAO constructively argued that I was a policy maker, and therefore, that GAO could terminate me because I opposed GAO’s policies of political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, retaliation, and up-or-out. My Democrat GAO superiors never promoted me to GS-14. Only GS-14s and higher made hiring decisions, determined job assignments, made pay-for-performance decisions, made promotion decisions, etc.)

Rather than finger-pointing, I suggest we focus on the important work that lies ahead of us,” Madigan said.” (DIERSEN: All my critics/opponents, all their operatives, and all their dupes have always promoted patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation for opposing the aforesaid. My Democrat IRS and GAO superiors knew full-well a) that my wife had helped elect Jim Thompson and b) that Thompson promoted patronage and political affiliation discrimination.

Republican Party of Illinois, my U.S. Senators and their staff members and my U.S. Representatives and their staff members made it very clear that they did NOT want to hear my complaints about political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation in the federal government. All my critics/opponents, all their operatives and all their dupes reject the decision in Rutan v. Republican Party of Illinois. My Democrat IRS and GAO superiors treated me like I was part of a plot to stop them from hiring, retaining, and promoting young Democrat minorities and young Democrat females. They were fully aware of the arguments that Thompson, Jim Edgar, and Lee Daniels made in Rutan that government employers should be allowed to engage in patronage and political affiliation discrimination.)

Extremely few GAO employees make the aforesaid promotion deadlines. The following frustrated efforts by the Democrats who ran GAO and its Chicago Office 1980-1997 to waste my career and to get rid of me: I earned a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980.

I would focus on potential candidates’ demographics including race, gender, age, sexual orientation, education, work experience, professional certifications and licenses, religion, national origin, marital status, military status, liberal/moderate/conservative status, Trump supporter status, income, net worth, gun owner status, length of time they have lived in their political jurisdictions, etc. I would focus on their positions on the traditional marriage/family, right to life, immigration, illegal drugs, Second Amendment, and equal opportunity (no race of gender based preference giving) planks in the Republican Party platform.)

— 3 U.S. Allies Are Among the Countries With the Most Journalists in Jail – Another Opportunity for Biden – KARL VICK (DIERSEN: I should write a book about those who have promoted the most hatred against me and those who have taken the most adverse actions against me for what I have done for you as your GOPUSA Illinois Editor since 2000. I would focus on present/past leaders of the Milton Township Republican Organization, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Illinois Republican Party. I would focus on present/past leaders of Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois. I would focus on those who have/had lots of religious, government, political, and/or financial clout. I would on those who have been candidates on ballots for my precinct. I would focus on those who falsely claim to be religious, conservative, and/or Republican.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: There were 274 journalists in jail on Dec. 1—the most since the Committee to Project Journalists began its troubling annual census in 1992. The New York-based advocacy group said that in 2020, authoritarian governments took advantage both of the global pandemic and of the example provided by President Donald Trump, whose assault on an independent press and labeling of unwelcome facts as “fake news” reversed a long U.S. legacy of promoting free expression abroad. “The record number of journalists imprisoned around the world is President Trump’s press freedom legacy,” CPJ executive director Joel Simon said in a statement. The group called on President-elect Joesph Biden to “work as part of a global coalition to bring the number down.”)

I would name it the “Wheaton Conservative.” The newspapers that currently cover Wheaton promote a) dependency on government, dependency on charity, LGBTQ, abortion, booze, gambling, pot, and other vices, abolition of the First and Second Amendments, patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and even worse things, that is, they promote the Democrat, Libertarian, and Green party platforms; b) discourage me from sending out GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails; and c) discourage everyone from reading those emails.)

https://dailycaller.com/2020/12/10/mike-lee-senate-republicans-big-tech-section-230-censorship/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Republican Utah Sen. Mike Lee emerged as a leading voice against Big Tech by introducing a bill to hold platforms accountable for viewpoint censorship and supporting a separate bill to amend Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act. Lee introduced the Promoting Responsibility Over Moderation In the Social Media Environment Act (S.4975) Tuesday in the Senate. The bill — colloquially called the PROMISE Act — would require social media platforms to disclose their content moderation policies to users and would be barred from moderating certain types of content, according to a press release. “The billionaires who own our nation’s Big Tech companies have every right to be partisan political actors,” Lee said in a statement. “What they don’t have a right to do is make promises to consumers that they will provide unbiased platforms and then discriminate against conservatives on those same platforms.” Republican lawmakers have expressed concern that Big Tech companies like Twitter, Facebook and Google are using their online platforms to blacklist or censor conservative viewpoints.)

How strongly do Biden voters want Biden to use the federal government to get rid of those who voted for Trump in your neighborhood, in your precinct, in your municipal district, in your municipality, in your township, in your county district, in your county, in Illinois, and in America? 269 voted for Biden in my precinct while only 157 voted for Trump. 39,530 voted for Biden in Milton Township while only 26,080 voted for Trump. 281,222 voted for Biden in DuPage County while only 193,611 voted for Trump.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: 2. How does bias creep in? In any number of ways: People making a program can introduce biases, or the algorithms can “learn” bad behavior from training data before launch or from users afterward, causing results to warp over time. Software engineers can inadvertently discriminate against people. Facebook was embarrassed in 2015 when some Native Americans were blocked from signing up for accounts because their names — including Lance Browneyes and Dana Lone Hill — were judged fake. And Amazon.com Inc. ran into problems when an AI system it was testing to screen job applicants “taught” itself to weed out women. In other cases, algorithms may have been trained on too narrow a slice of reality.)

Warnock told worshippers that America needed to repent for glorifying whiteness and celebrity, and ignoring Trump’s often-harsh remarks until the Access Hollywood tape was released. He also criticized Georgia for refusing to expand Medicaid and increase the minimum wage. . . He then added, in reference to the 2016 presidential election: “No matter what happens next month, the more than a third of the nation that would go along with this is reason to be afraid. America needs to repent for its worship of whiteness on full display this season.”)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Ramifications, she said, that included getting cut off from traditional large Democratic donors for fundraising and being sent a novice campaign worker from the Democratic Party of Illinois versus a seasoned staffer. She said DPI, which Madigan also controls, didn’t have conversations with her about these changes. And she said DPI slow-walked polling in her district and a refusal by the party to allow her to ask a poll question about Madigan. “It’s a very fine line, right? Because you don’t want anything to look retaliatory,” she said. She said she ended up doing her own poll, outside of DPI. It showed that Madigan was less popular in her west suburban district than President Donald Trump. Costa Howard said she did not take money directly from Madigan, though as a Democrat she did accept funding from Democratic committees under his auspices.)

ASSOCIATED PRESS
— Pressure Mounts on Biden to Make Diverse Picks for Top Posts President-elect Joe Biden is hearing from the diverse groups who supported his election. – AP (DIERSEN: While I worked for the federal government for almost 30 years, my superiors were always under tremendous pressure from Democrat politicians to hire, to retain, and to promote young Democrat minorities and young Democrat females. 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. The Post Office hired me in 1966 because it could not find a qualified Democrat, minority, female, or veteran who would take the job.)

— Joe From Scranton Didn’t Win Back the Working Class An economic analysis of the counties that Joe Biden won and lost shows how the two parties are continuing to realign. – Lisa Lerer (DIERSEN: My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes despise, if not hate, the working class. They stress that I was a member of the working class 1962-1997. 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.)

NEW YORK POST
— Facebook to rank anti-black hate speech over anti-white comments – Ebony Bowden (DIERSEN: Ever-increasingly, Democrats promote hatred against Republicans. Ever increasingly, Democrats call Republicans White supremacists, Nazis, KKK members, haters, racists, sexists, bigots, and even worse things. To call someone a White supremacist, Nazi, KKK member, hater, racist, sexist, or bigot in America today is like calling someone a Jew in Germany during the 1930s and 1940s.)
https://nypost.com/2020/12/04/facebooks-hate-speech-algorithm-to-prioritize-anti-black-comments/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Facebook has updated its hate speech algorithm, reversing years of neutrality to prioritize anti-black comments while making anti-white slurs the lowest priority. The tech giant’s new system for detecting hate speech, known internally as the WoW Project, will automatically delete hateful language directed at the LGBTQ community, Jews, Muslims and African Americans — which has been dubbed by Facebook engineers as the “worst of the worst,” the Washington Post reported. The company will now begin scoring hate speech and offensive posts, and remarks about “men,” “whites” and “Americans” will be marked “low sensitivity,” the report said.)

(DIERSEN: What do you say to my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes who since 1953 have hinted/implied/argued/shouted that I have undeservedly had a tremendous unfair advantage in life because my parents sent me to Trinity Lutheran Grade School in Crete 1953-1961 and then to Hope Lutheran Grade School in Park Forest 1961-1962 to stay with the Missouri Synod and then to Crete-Monee High School 1962-1966?)
