What do you say to those who glorify and praise elites, who pander to elites, who serve as operatives for elites, and who serve as dupes for elites? I should write a book about the aforesaid in Wheaton, Milton Township, in DuPage County, and Illinois. If elites like you, your past has been bright and your future is bright.

— 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.)

I am qualified to write books on the Milton Township Republican Central Committee (MTRCC), DuPage County Republican Central Committee (DCRCC), Illinois Republican Party (IRP), Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, Illinois, GAO, and IRS. 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. I have lived in Illinois for more than 71 years. I worked for GAO for almost 18 years. I worked for IRS for almost 9 years. Further, I am qualified to write books on early retirement. I have been retired for more than 22 years. Further, I am qualified to write books about political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation. SEE: https://gopillinois.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/DiersenGAOFifthAmendedComplaint.pdf Further, I am qualified to write books about publishing online newsletters. I have been putting GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails together and sending them out since 2000. Since 2004, they have gone out each and every morning, and since 2015, each and every evening too. Since 2004, they have included links to more than 349,100 articles and information on many upcoming events.)

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.)

They wasted what I learned passing a) the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981 and b) the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979.

https://chicago.suntimes.com/columnists/2019/10/27/20932730/laura-washington-trump-chicago-visit
(FROM THE ARTICLE: In March 2016, then-candidate Trump was virtually run out of Chi-Town in the wake of a highly touted campaign event. Trump was set to appear before 10,000-strong at a “Make America Great Again” rally at the UIC Pavilion on the near West Side. Inside, the stadium was packed with rowdy masses of supporters inside. Uber-angry masses of protestors marched outside to decry what they viewed as a racist, xenophobic and misogynist campaign. Shortly before Trump’s scheduled appearance, his campaign cancelled, citing safety concerns. Fraidy cat.)

CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— Former White House chief of staff John Kelly says he warned Trump on impeachment – AP (DIERSEN: No one has ever accused me of being a yes-man. If I had been a yes-man, the federal government would have promoted me into its Senior Executive Service long before I was 40 years old. Yes-men help the federal government get rid of its employees who are Republican, White, male, and/or non-veteran who did not make GS-13 (currently $98,198) by age 25, GS-14 (currently $116,040) by age 30, GS-15 (currently $136,495) by age 35, and Senior Executive Service (currently $165,500) by age 40.)
https://www.chicagotribune.com/sns-bc-us–trump-kelly-20191027-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: President Donald Trump ‘s former chief of staff, John Kelly , says he advised the president not to fill the job with someone who wouldn’t be honest with him and provide a check on his impulses because he would end up being impeached. “That was almost 11 months ago, and I have an awful lot of, to say the least, second thoughts about leaving,” Kelly told the Washington Examiner. “It pains me to see what’s going on because I believe if I was still there or someone like me was there, he would not be kind of, all over the place.” “I said, whatever you do — and we were still in the process of trying to find someone to take my place — I said whatever you do, don’t hire a ‘yes man,’ someone who won’t tell you the truth — don’t do that. Because if you do, I believe you will be impeached,” Kelly recalled in an interview at the Sea Island Summit, a political conference hosted by the Examiner. Kelly said he does not believe the president would be in his current predicament if he had stayed as chief of staff. White House press secretary Stephanie Grisham said in a statement of her own Saturday: “I worked with John Kelly, and he was totally unequipped to handle the genius of our great President.” Trump pushed back on Kelly’s comments in a statement: “John Kelly never said that, he never said anything like that. If he would have said that, I would have thrown him out of the office. He just wants to come back into the action like everybody else does.”)

http://historynewsnetwork.org/article/173406
(FROM THE ARTICLE: In August 2019, the Economic Policy Institute reported that, in 2018, the average pay of CEOs at America’s 350 top firms hit $17.2 million―an increase, when adjusted for inflation, of 1,007.5 percent since 1978. By contrast, the typical worker’s wage, adjusted for inflation, grew by only 11.9 percent over this 40-year period. In 1965, the ratio of CEO-to-worker’s pay stood at 20-to-1; by 2018 (when CEOs received another hefty pay raise and workers received a 0.2 percent pay cut), it had reached 278-to-1. An AFL-CIO study, released in June 2019, had similar findings. Examining compensation at Standard & Poors 500 companies, the labor federation reported that average CEO pay in 2018 had increased by $5.2 million over the preceding 10 years. This resulted in an average CEO-to-worker pay ratio of 287-to-1. These figures, of course, are only averages, and at numerous major corporations, the economic gap between boss and worker is much greater. According to the AFL-CIO, the CEO-to-worker pay ratio at Walmart (America’s largest private employer) is 1,076 to 1, at Walt Disney Company 1,424-to-1, at McDonald’s 2,124-to-1, and at Gap 3,566-to-1. At 49 S&P 500 firms, noted an Institute for Policy Studies report, half the work force―that is, 3.7 million employees―received wages below the official U.S. poverty line for a family of four.)

https://www.dailyherald.com/news/20191021/dupage-county-poised-to-vote-on-recreational-pot-sales-in-unincorporated-areas
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Larsen said he would be “shocked” if the board rejects the 3% tax on sales in municipalities. “I would expect everyone to support that,” he said. “We might as well get the revenue from it if we’re going to be dealing with the consequences of it.” Larsen said DuPage is expected to have increased law enforcement costs and other expenses as a result of the state legalizing recreational marijuana. “This is the only place we can get revenue to help deal with those costs,” he said. Last month, State’s Attorney Robert Berlin talked about issues other states faced after legalizing marijuana. He pointed to statistics showing Colorado experienced increases in property crime and violent crime. There also was an increase in the number of traffic fatalities with drivers testing positive for marijuana. County health department officials, meanwhile, said the availability of recreational marijuana is expected to increase use among adults and youths and hurt the health of residents. As a result, they are anticipating increased demand for public health services in DuPage.)

HARVARD BUSINESS REVIEW
— Why Your Company Needs to Implement Pay Equity Audits Now – Robert Sheen (DIERSEN: If a pay equity audit of the federal government was done, it would show that it pays its employees who are Democrat, minority, female, and/or younger more than it pays its employees who are Republican, White, male, and/or older who have comparable work experience, education, and/or professional certifications and licenses. While I worked for GAO 1980-1997, GAO always paid its employees who are Democrat, minority, female, and/or younger more than it paid its employees who are Republican, White, male, and/or older who had comparable work experience, education, and/or professional certifications and licenses. GAO audits IRS. When GAO hired me in 1980, I had almost 9 years experience working for IRS, the last 5 1/2 years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 levels, currently $82,579-$93,592.

FED SMITH
— Presidential Power Versus Employees’ Constitutional Rights: Interpreting the Executive Orders Affecting Federal Workers – Mathew B. Tully, Esq. (DIERSEN: Constructively, federal employees who are Republican, White, male, and/or non-veteran are deemed to be “poor performers” if they do not make GS-13 (currently $98,198) by age 25, GS-14 (currently $116,040) by age 30, GS-15 (currently $136,495) by age 35, and Senior Executive Service (currently $165,500) by age 40.

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Terminating Employees Deemed “Poor Performers” First off, there is a smaller timeframe in which to improve poor performance.

Of course, needless-to-say, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have always used that against me.

I had passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979. I had earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976. I had almost completed the requirements for a master’s degree from DePaul.

— As more than 2,000 newspapers across the country have closed or merged, student journalists from Michigan to Arizona have stepped in to fill the void. – Dan Levin (DIERSEN: What void do you fill? I fill the tremendous communications void created by, continued by, and aggravated by the Illinois Republican Party (IRP), Republican county party organizations in Illinois including the DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Republican township/ward party organizations in Illinois including the Milton Township Republican Central Committee. The IRP should send out emails similar to GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails that focus on statewide government and political issues. Republican county party organizations should send out emails similar to GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails that focus on countywide government and political issues. Republican township/ward party organizations should send out emails similar to GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails that focus on township/ward government and political issues. However, I acknowledge that paying people to do the aforesaid would cost a tremendous amount of money. To get someone who is qualified to do what I do as your GOPUSA Illinois Editor, they would have to be paid at least $500,000 a year.)

https://www.hotcars.com/ford-car-model-drive-based-mbti/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: 2019 FORD ESCAPE For those who gravitate towards the limelight and love to own adorable white-bearded cats as pets, they are likely ESFPs. The ESFPs are typical extroverts who have an insatiable deep desire to please everyone and be the most popular person at any gathering. They are quick at making decisions and typically use their senses to take the information in and process it. If you are an ESFP, you can’t take chances by buying just any car. You need one that reflects your personality and when you are sitting in it, the jealous glances stalk your way into the sunset. You need the gorgeous 2019 Ford Escape which delivers an agile performance, incredible handling, and extremely potent throttle. . .2019 FORD MUSTANG The ESTPs are the Energy Bombs. These spirited balls love thrills and the car fanatics of this category have likely been to each and every famous annual car show known to mankind. If you are an ESTP, you most likely are an extrovert, use your senses and thinking capabilities for making decisions and getting hold of information, and perceive things in your own unique way. The best Ford model for an ESTP is the 2019 Ford Mustang, which comes packed with a gas engine so powerful, it earned the nickname of “Godzilla.” The car itself harkens back to 1968’s Bullitt, so this is definitely a vehicle intended for those who appreciate a touch of speed.)

— Apple Slammed by US Lawmakers for ‘Censorship’ of Apps at China’s Behest Apple removed the HKmap.live app from the App Store in China and Hong Hong earlier this month, saying it violated local laws. – Mark Gurman, Ben Brody (DIERSEN: Of course, my critics/opponents want the Illinois Republican Party (IRP), DuPage County Republican Central Committee (DCRCC), and Milton Township Republican Central Committee (MTRCC) to get www.gopillinois.com and my GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails “removed.” They want the IRP, DCRCC, and MTRCC a) to stress that they do not promote www.gopillinois.com or my GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails and b) to stress that even though I have been a MTRCC member for almost 20 years and even though I have the best record by far since 1999 for attending MTRCC meetings and fundraisers, that MTRCC has never asked me to serve as a committee chairman or officer, that 69 voted against me and only 13 voted for me when I ran for the open MTRCC Treasurer office in 2004, that MTRCC rudely fired me as its webmaster in 2004 and 2010, that MTRCC almost succeeded in gerrymandering me into the same precinct with Jeanne Ives in 2015, and that many past and present MTRCC officers blame me and blame my emails for all of MTRCC’s problems. My critics/opponents in Milton Township have lots of religious, government, political, and/or financial clout. They 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 MTRCC 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.)

Everyone in Illinois who claims to be religious, conservative, and/or Republican should speak out against recreational pot at municipal and county hearings. Especially the following should speak out against recreational pot at municipal and county hearings: Republican Precinct Committeemen and Captains; officers of Republican township, ward, and county organizations; Illinois Republican Party (IRP) State Central Committee members; IRP officers; the IRP National Committeeman and Committeewoman; activists; candidates; elected officials; major donors; political consultants; etc.)

While I worked for GAO 1980-1997, the last 11 years of which at GS-13 Step 1-10 levels, currently $98,198-$127,654, I increasingly worked as a referencer, that is, as a fact checker. That work required assuring the accuracy and support for each and every word, number, table, graph, chart, conclusion, opinion, and recommendation in GAO reports. I worked for IRS 1971-1980, the last 5 1/2 years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 levels, currently $82,279-$93,592. My other fact checking qualifications include my becoming a Forensic Accountant in 1997, Certified Fraud Examiner in 1990, licensed CPA in 1981, Certified Internal Auditor in 1981, and CPA in 1979. Further, according to my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes, my GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails are full of fake news. Needless-to-say, I should sue them. They stress that the neither the Illinois Republican Party (IRP), DuPage County Republican Central Committee (DCRCC), nor Milton Township Republican Central Committee (MTRCC) promote my GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails. They stress that I am no longer a TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois chairman, Wheaton Chamber of Commerce (WCC) Government Affairs Committee member, MTRCC webmaster, Illinois Center Right Coalition (ICRC) Steering Committee member, American Association of Political Consultants (AAPC) Midwest Chapter board member, GAO employee, etc. They stress the adverse actions that IRP, DCRCC, MTRCC, TAPROOT, WCC, ICRC, AAPC, GAO, etc. have taken against me.)

I want my Democrat superiors in the federal government to expunge from my employment record the adverse actions that they took against me. 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. My Democrat Post Office superiors forced me resign in 1969 and disallowed my sick leave requests in 1969 and 1968.)

Since 1966 when I was 18 years old, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have stressed to veterans that I avoided the draft. I sought and got four student draft deferments 1966-1970 and a financial hardship draft deferment 1970-1971.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Mattis said he’d been asked what he thought of Trump’s remarks, which reportedly came during a White House meeting with congressional Democrats on Wednesday. “I earned my spurs on the battlefield … Donald Trump earned his spurs in a letter from a doctor,” he said in a reference to a medical deferment for bone spurs that kept Trump from serving in the military during the Vietnam War.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Office of Personnel Management leadership under the Trump administration has frequently turned to results from the 2018 Federal Employee Viewpoint Survey that indicate feds’ dissatisfaction with reward and punishment practices to support dramatic efforts to both overhaul employee management and change the federal pay and benefits system. Most recently, the administration proposed changing federal practices to make it easier to discipline and fire under-performing federal employees. “Notably, as demonstrated in the Federal Employee Viewpoint Survey, a majority of both employees and managers agree that the performance management system fails to reward the best and address unacceptable performance,” the proposed rule change said.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Under the partnership, Omada Health will offer the Freestyle Libre system to employers and health plans. People diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes who are eligible will undergo an online physician consultation, which will allow them to obtain a prescription and delivery of a welcome kit, which includes the Abbott product and a wireless scale. Users of the Freestyle Libre system can get real-time readings through a sensor worn on the back of the upper arm, which transmits the information to a smartphone. Abbott officials said the system will give Omada real-time glucose data that can help participants to better manage their diabetes.)

FOX NEWS CHICAGO
— Embattled former alderman Danny Solis uses loophole to double pension – Dane Placko (DIERSEN: My Democrat GAO superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinate were beyond furious that I could and did retroactively purchase for very little money almost 3 years of full-time Civil Service Retirement System credits for when I worked only part-time for the Park Forest Post office 1966-1969. They were already furious that when I transferred from IRS to GAO in 1980 when I was 31 years old, I transferred with me almost 12 years of federal seniority, 30 days of unused vacation days, and 130 days of unused sick days.) 
https://www.fox32chicago.com/news/embattled-former-alderman-uses-loophole-to-double-pension
(FROM THE ARTICLE: However, they also informed Solis of a sweetener only available to elected officials in Chicago, allowing them to purchase pension credits retroactively. So in January, Solis wrote two checks to the pension fund totaling a little more than $128,000. That allowed Solis to more than double his pension payout to $7,900 a month and $94,000 a year. Zettler says Solis’ pension boost will pay off that $128,000 investment in just two and a half years, and also put another $1.3 million in Solis’ pocket if he lives another 15 years, which is 10 times the initial investment. “It’s a can’t-lose situation for the people involved,” said Zettler. Amazingly, Solis was able to buy retroactive pension credits for his three-month stint working for the Chicago Public Library in the 1960s when he was 17 and have it paid out based on his six-figure aldermanic salary.)

— Elizabeth Warren Deletes Tweet Bragging About Native American DNA – WILLIAM DAVIS (DIERSEN: Who hates German Americans the most in your neighborhood, in your precinct, in your municipality, in your township/ward, in your county, and in Illinois? Government is nasty. Politics is nasty. Democrats and Democrat plants, Libertarians and Libertarian plants, Greens and Green plants, and RINOs are nasty. I should write a book about a) how my Democrat superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates in the federal government used and b) how my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes in Wheaton, Glen Ellyn, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois use my 100% German national origin against me. They constantly foist negative German stereotypes on me. I would focus on those who are German American, but who demonize, denigrate, and condemn me to curry favor with those who hate German Americans. They paint themselves as being “good” German Americans who go around destroying “bad” German Americans like me. In my defense, I stress that they all my ancestors immigrated way back during the 1840s and 1850s, that my grandfather on my father’s side fought the Germans during WWI, that my uncles on my mother’s side fought the Germans during WWII, and that if he had not been 4-F, my father would have fought the Germans during WWII. If DNA information had been available back when I worked for the federal government, I would have stressed that. According to http://dna.ancestry.com, my ancestry is 33% Europe West, 28% Scandinavia, 24% Great Britain, 11% Ireland, 2% Europe East, 1% Finland/Northwest Russia, and 1% Italy/Greece.)
