I should write a book about the aforesaid politicians.)

— Work permit delays disrupt foreign workers’ career plans (DIERSEN: What disrupted you career plans? 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. 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. In 1971 when I was 22 years old, Oldsmobile withdrew a job offer that I had accepted saying that it had just agreed to stop hiring Whites to settle an EEOC complaint. That directly resulted in my accepting a job offer from IRS.)

October 30 Morning Edition

DAILY HERALD
— It wasn’t democracy that forced dangerous pot option on communities – Barbara Shafer (DIERSEN: Needless-to-say, if you are an activist, candidate, elected official, party leader, major donor, political consultant, religious leader, education leader, medical leader, etc. who claims to be religious, conservative, and/or Republican, you should be doing everything that you can to stop the sale of pot in your municipality and in the unincorporated areas of your county.)
https://www.dailyherald.com/discuss/20191030/it-wasnt-democracy-that-forced-dangerous-pot-option-on-communities
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Sen. Heather Steans couldn’t be more wrong, answering the question (re: cannabis legalization HB1438) “Is democracy a bad thing?” by stating the bill’s co-authors “don’t think so.” It wasn’t democracy. It was representation gone awry with 104 Illinois legislators speaking on behalf of 12.8 million Illinoisans. With 60 out of 104 legislators having received a total of $630,000 in marijuana lobbyist money in 2017 and 45 voting yes, is it interesting? Yes. Comped? Maybe. Democracy? No. Negotiation and compromise were missing, too, with a 600-page amendment appearing in an unrelated shell bill two days before the General Assembly’s end of session. No public debate. No referendum. No transparency. No democracy. Question: Was HB1438 a bad thing? The real question is “Who ends up paying the price: you, your kids, businesses, communities, teachers, or law enforcement?” Other states teach us the answer: All of the above. The co-authors claim, “Our intent was not to impose cannabis dispensaries on every community.” Will it end up that way? Washington State began with mandated medical, offered opt-out recreational, but finally allocated retail licenses to communities.)

How rich were your parents when you were young? Neither of my outstanding parents attended college. My father was the first of his ancestors to earn a high school diploma. He worked in the office of a nasty chemical plant in Chicago Heights, almost always worked second jobs to pay the family’s bills, and did not buy a new car until he was 45 years old, and it was a bottom of the line 2-door Chevy. My mother never attended high school.)

Extremely few federal employees make the aforesaid promotion deadlines. What does that say about my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes? It says that they promote political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination. It says that they have an extremely low opinion of federal employees, and therefore, an extremely low opinion of federal retirees.)

— Warren Would Ban Large Corporations From Hiring Ex-Government Officials For Four Years – Misyrlena Egkolfopoulou (DIERSEN: I should write a book about why I got no job offers after my Democrat GAO superiors succeeded in forcing me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years. By forcing me to retire, they shouted that what I had learned doing the following was worthless: a) auditing federal financial industry regulators 1990-1997 at the GS-13 Step 3-10 levels, currently $104,744-$127,654, b) auditing IRS 1986-1988 at the GS-13 Step 1-3 levels, currently $98,198-$104,744, c) auditing other federal agencies in 1989 and 1980-1985, d) working for IRS 1971-1980, the last 5 1/2 years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 levels, currently $82,579-$93,592, e) earning a master’s degree in financial markets and trading from IIT in 1997, a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980, and an MBA from Loyola in 1976, f) passing the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981, and f) passing the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979.

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2019-10-29/warren-promises-hiring-restrictions-fines-for-u-s-corporations

Extremely few federal employees make the aforesaid promotion deadlines. Ever-increasingly the leaders of Republican organizations in Illinois are biased against Republican candidates who are White, male, and/or non-veteran who have not been elected to a local office by age 30, county office by age 35, state office by age 40, and federal office by age 45. The aforesaid is called up-or-out, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination.)

I worked under Social Security for 10 years washing dishes, cleaning golf shoes, chipping slag, pumping gasoline; delivering mail, working on an automobile assembly line and as a security guard, selling tires, automotive services, and major appliances, etc. 1964-1974.)
https://www.fedsmith.com/2019/10/29/social-security-wep-fairness/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The Social Security Administration released its analysis of the bipartisan Social Security Fairness Act of 2019 (H.R. 141) at the end of September. The legislation would provide a break to older Americans (and their spouses) from the Windfall Elimination Provision (WEP) which reduces the size of the checks coming from Social Security when a person collects a pension from a job not covered by Social Security. The actuaries at the Social Security Administration estimate that this relief will cost the general taxpayer $33 billion over the next 10 years.)

— Oak Park Mob Taunts and Jeers at Brave Citizen Planning to Move Because He’s Fed Up with White-Blaming – MEGAN FOX 
https://pjmedia.com/trending/oak-park-residents-taunt-and-jeer-at-brave-citizen-fed-up-with-white-blaming-who-plans-to-move/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: They even accused Chicago talk show host Dan Proft of catering to “white supremacists” for interviewing Moroney. I know Proft personally. This accusation is so over-the-top and ridiculous it shouldn’t need a defense. Proft is not only a very typical conservative, but he is also a former gubernatorial candidate from Illinois and a very serious player in Illinois GOP politics. He’s pragmatic and incredibly fair-minded. I don’t think Proft has ever been involved in any kind of controversy, which is hard to do in the political landscape of Illinois. He’s well-liked by most sane people. Calling him a “white supremacist” sympathizer is beyond the pale of decency. Go ahead and try to find something objectionable about this interview Proft did with Moroney. But perhaps the most juvenile and shameful moment of the most recent trustee meeting was when an Oak Park resident stood up to defend Moroney and let the audience know he and his family had decided to move out of the town because of the extreme intolerance of diverse opinions.)

POLITICO
— Reporter on Katie Hill scandal promotes GOP candidates for her seat The RedState writer Jennifer Van Laar who published a nude picture of the congresswoman has a long history of supporting Hill’s opponents. – MICHAEL CALDERONE (DIERSEN: My critics/opponents blame me and blame my GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails for all the losses that Republicans have suffered in Illinois since 2000. Why don’t my critics/opponents put in writing their charges against me? Why don’t they put in writing “facts” that they allege support their charges?) 
https://www.politico.com/news/2019/10/28/reporter-katie-hill-scandal-gop-060576
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Shortly after Rep. Katie Hill announced her resignation from Congress on Sunday night, the RedState reporter who published damaging allegations involving the Democratic rising star, along with a nude photo, was urging support for Republican candidates to win the seat. “If you want to help us flip @KatieHill4CA’s former #CA25 seat BACK to RED, please learn more about @MikeGarcia2020 and contribute to his campaign at http://ElectMikeGarcia.com!” tweeted Jennifer Van Laar, a deputy managing editor at RedState. Later, Van Laar suggested that she’d back former Congressman Steve Knight if he decided to run for the seat he lost to Hill in 2018. “He has integrity, cares about the individual, and is a policy wonk,” wrote Van Laar, who noted working for Knight’s 2014 campaign. “I’d be #TeamKnight again in a heartbeat.” Van Laar’s views, like RedState’s leanings, are no secret: She’s worked in Republican politics and the site is conservative, as is its owner, Salem Media Group. But Van Laar’s shift from reporting on Hill, and publishing what some have deemed “revenge porn,” to promoting Republicans for Hill’s old job is a blurring of roles that would be unacceptable in mainstream newsrooms.)

ILLINOIS REVIEW
— WARNING! COMING TO A REPUBLICAN DISTRICT NEAR YOU! (DIERSEN: My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes are disciples of Saul Alinsky. I should write a book about them. I would focus on those who have lots of religious, government, political, and/or financial clout in Wheaton, Glen Ellyn, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois.)
https://www.illinoisreview.com/illinoisreview/2019/10/warning-coming-to-a-republican-district-near-you.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The template for their activity is one being tested in other Republican districts across the nation by organizations with different names but similar goals. These efforts are modeled after the “Rules for Radicals” framework established by the original “community organizer,” Saul Alinsky. They are dark-money funded indirectly by leftists like George Soros and his ultra-wealthy “Archenemies of Liberty,” including Tom Steyer, Michael Bloomberg, and Jeff Bezos. That leftist club, and its Democrat Party collective of congressional socialists, has been busy with a visible campaign to rig electoral demographics state by state, dispensing with the Electoral College in order to guarantee the perpetuity of leftist rule. But the Left is also engaged in a much more subversive strategy to transform our constitutional republic into a permanent populist democracy: a district-by-district strategy.)

— After criticizing Chicago from afar, President Donald Trump gets his chance to do it in person today – RICK PEARSON and BILL RUTHHART (DIERSEN: Ever-increasingly, Chicago voters elect politicians who are anti-Trump, anti-Protestant, anti-conservative, anti-patriotic, anti-Republican, anti-American, anti-White, anti-male, anti-older people, anti-rich people, anti-gun owners, anti-German Americans, anti-draft avoiders, and/or anti-those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time.)

— New marijuana store licenses: Residents of 681 Illinois census tracts can get a leg up on applications. Are you eligible? Here’s which areas qualify, and why. – Ally Marotti (DIERSEN: Pot pushers want all of Illinois to be designated a “Disproportionately Impacted Area (DIA).” I fear that the pot pushers in Springfield will vote to force the sale of pot in DIAs even if the municipality or county had voted to ban the sale there. Where pot is sold, it brings down everything and everyone around it. How close is a DIA to where you live or work? Illinois Democrats want pot shops to open up in DIAs to revitalize those areas. Wheaton is the DuPage County Seat. The Democrats who run the Illinois Department of Commerce & Economic Opportunity (IDCEO) have outrageously designated western Wheaton (Census Tract 8426.04) as being a DIA, that is, an area that has high rates of arrest, conviction, and incarceration related to cannabis as well as poverty and unemployment. Needless-to-say, that must be a mistake. SEE: on https://censusreporter.org/profiles/14000US17043842604-census-tract-842604-dupage-il/ and https://www.chicagocityscape.com/maps/index.php?place=censustract-17043842604 While Wheaton has banned the sale of pot, the Democrats who run Illinois may very well vote to allow pot shops in DIAs thereby overriding Wheaton’s ban. I ask the following and everyone else who has an interest in Wheaton to ask the IDCEO to immediately rescind its western Wheaton DIA designation: Wheaton Mayor and City Council members, Wheaton Chamber of Commerce, Milton Township officers and trustees, DuPage County Board Chairman and County Board members, and federal and Illinois officials who represent or seek to represent any part of Wheaton.)
https://www.chicagotribune.com/marijuana/illinois/ct-biz-cb-recreational-marijuana-map-explained-20191028-uaeezndp6bep5o2xi6vzgyj2t4-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Applications for licenses to operate 75 marijuana stores are now available, offering the first path into the industry for those who don’t already operate a cannabis business in Illinois. A map the state released identifying areas hit hardest by the war on drugs could play a vital role for some applicants. More than 2 million people live in the hard-hit areas identified on the map. A qualified resident of those areas who applies to grow and sell recreational marijuana will get an additional 50 points on the application, which has a maximum score of 250 points. . .To create the map, officials broke the state down by U.S. Census tracts. To qualify, an area had to have an average annual rate of at least 30 marijuana-related arrests per 10,000 residents or at least one marijuana-related parole per 10,000 residents. Roughly 10 years of arrest and parole data was analyzed, said Michael Negron, assistant director of the Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity. The data reflects the addresses of people with marijuana arrests or paroles, not where the incidents occurred. Additionally, an area either must have a poverty rate above 20%, more than 20% of households in the area must receive Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program benefits, also known as food stamps, or the area’s average unemployment rate over the past two years must have been at least 20% higher than the national average. “The data is intended to be objective while still keeping in mind where we think the impact of the war on drugs is,” Negron said. “That means the data really sets the map.” Here’s a look at the poverty and SNAP participation rates of some census tracts identified on the map: . . . Wheaton — Poverty rate of 9%, SNAP participation 8.2%, average annual marijuana-related arrest rate of 9.1 per 10,000 residents. This tract qualified as underserved based on its unemployment rate of 5.7%, which was more than 20% higher than the national average in 2017 and 2018. It is west of downtown Wheaton and includes a western chunk of Milton Township.)

https://chicago.suntimes.com/2019/10/28/20930479/heres-how-apply-illinois-pot-marijuana-dispensary-application-social-equity
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Individuals will get an edge by qualifying as social equity applicants if they’ve lived for five of the past 10 years in an area that’s been disproportionately impacted by past drug policies or have been arrested for or convicted of a minor pot offense. Additionally, employers will qualify if the majority of their workforce meets those criteria. Some social equity applicants can also qualify for waivers from the state to cover half of their application fees. To qualify for a loan from Good Tree, applicants must fill out a form online to confirm they meet the qualifications before Nov. 1.)

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.

— How a Company’s Aging Workforce Retrained Itself for the Cloud We will give you the tools, a company told its tech staff, ‘but it’s up to you to decide and put in the time’ – Vanessa Fuhrmans (DIERSEN: My Democrat GAO superiors did not give me any tools. In 1989, I was extremely qualified to work for GAO on audits of IRS. I had worked for GAO on audits of IRS for the prior 3 years at the GS-13 Step 1-3 levels, currently $98,198-$104,744. I had worked for IRS for almost 9 years, the last 5 1/2 years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 levels, currently $82,579-$93,592. In 1989, to get rid of me, beyond wastefully, my Democrat GAO superiors threw me off audits of IRS, made it clear to me that they would never again assign me to audits of IRS, and assigned me to audits of federal financial institution regulators. To retain myself, I took evening and weekend courses at IIT and earned a master’s degree in financial markets and trading in 1997. But then, even more wastefully, my Democrat GAO superiors forced me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years old.)

I have been a member of the MTRCC, DCRCC, and IRP for almost 20 years. I have lived in Wheaton, Milton Township, and DuPage County for more than 41 years.

https://www.entrepreneur.com/article/341090
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Having some minimum requirements combined with previous hiring data is a great place to start. However, employers should go beyond that, and focus on hiring the right culture fit. . .cultural fit is essential. An organizational culture is a system of shared assumptions, values, and beliefs that govern how people behave in a company. These shared values have a strong influence on the people in the organization, and dictate how they act and perform. Unfortunately, many hires struggle due to culture misfit, where they do not fit in with the team, they are not aligned with the values and goals pre-established, or their personality and workstyle is not compatible with what the company offers. A great way for employers to start seriously considering culture fit when hiring is to, firstly, define their organization’s culture, and make sure that it is visible and communicated regularly. Some employers do this by developing a strong online employer brand that can be viewed by potential job applicants. By announcing their organizational culture to potential applicants, it is more likely that employers will receive candidates who truly share their core values and principles and are able to smoothly assimilate.)

NEW YORK TIMES
— The Trump Impeachment Inquiry: Latest Updates (DIERSEN: Have you ever been “under investigation?” To get rid of me, my Democrat IRS superiors had me “under investigation” 1974-1977. SEE GAO DECISION: http://www.gao.gov/products/463866 During the 1970s, IRS purposely kept its definition of “commuting area” vague so that it could use it to punish or to reward its employees. When my IRS Democrat superiors succeeded in getting rid of the IRS manager who had promoted me in 1972, 1973, and 1974, they used a narrow definition of “commuting area” to disallow my partial day per diem claims. They hinted/implied/argued that my partial day per diem claims were fraudulent. Needless-to-say, that ended my IRS career. They would not have done that if I had been a Democrat, a minority, a female, or a veteran.)

There’s a better way. – DANIEL DISALVO (DIERSEN: To get a full Civil Service Retirement System (CSRS) pension, federal employees have to be 55 and have at least 30 years of federal service. In 1997, when I was 49 years old, my Democrat GAO superiors forced me to take their early retirement “offer” and suffer a major reduction of my pension.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: On average, to earn a full pension, a teacher must remain in the same state or district for 25 years — a condition that less than half of teachers nationally will meet. In Illinois, where the vesting period for the pension system is 10 years of employment, only half of new teachers will ever vest in the system. And only 1 out of 5 teachers in Illinois will ever break even from their pension plan. Everyone else either quits teaching or changes school districts before earning a full pension, often walking away with less than they contributed to the system.)

Currently, there is no physical test for impairment due to marijuana, making any amount of use by workers in those jobs inadvisable, Terry said. “Do you want those types of individuals to be in a position where maybe you can’t tell if they’re impaired or not?” Terry asked. “We hope this position will give some guidance to employers and really give some idea of how to think about this to policymakers as well.”)

OAK PARK
— Oak Park trustee feels heat over radio spot Community members slam Moroney at Monday’s village board meeting – Stacey Sheridan (DIERSEN: My critics/opponents have lots of religious, government, political, and/or financial clout in Wheaton, Glen Ellyn, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois. They blacklist me and blacklist all individuals, organizations, companies, and governments that do not blacklist me. I should write a book about my critics/opponents and the many millions of individuals, organizations, companies, and governments that they blacklist.)
https://www.oakpark.com/News/Articles/10-22-2019/Oak-Park-trustee-feels-heat-over-radio-spot/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Oak Park trustee Dan Moroney faced community ire over his recent appearance on “Morning Answer with Dan Proft & Amy Jacobson,” a right-wing radio show (WIND-AM) where he discussed fellow Trustee Susan Buchanan’s recent board meeting rant, which caused Buchanan to become a target of vitriolic internet harassment. In front of a packed board room, 18 people addressed the board — Moroney in particular — in non-agenda public comments at the Oct. 21 meeting. Only one comment was made in his defense. Many called on Moroney to resign, while others demanded he apologize for appearing on the show and further stoking the national attention Buchanan’s outburst generated.)
