— Trump targets ‘white privilege’ training as ‘anti-American’ The OMB was directed to identify spending related to training on ‘critical race theory,’ ‘white privilege’ or material that suggests the US is ‘inherently racist.’ – Zeke Miller (DIERSEN: The Democrats who run IRS and GAO require all their employees to take lots of this type of training. I worked for IRS for almost 9 years and I worked for GAO for almost 18 years. The goal of such training is to promote hatred against Republicans, and especially against Republicans who are conservative, White, male, older, heterosexual, married, non-poor, gun owners, Protestant, German American, draft avoiders, and those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time.)

— Trump Bans Federal Money From Funding Far-Left Anti-American ‘Critical Race Theory’ – Ryan Saavedra (DIERSEN: The Democrats who run IRS and GAO require all their employees to take lots of this type of training. I worked for IRS for almost 9 years and I worked for GAO for almost 18 years. The goal of such training is to promote hatred against Republicans, and especially against Republicans who are conservative, White, male, older, heterosexual, married, non-poor, gun owners, Protestant, German American, draft avoiders, and those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time.)
https://www.dailywire.com/news/breaking-trump-bans-federal-money-from-funding-far-left-anti-american-critical-race-theory
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The Trump administration announced late on Friday that it was cracking down on “critical race theory,” a far-left anti-American ideology that promotes racial division, from being taught in federal agencies and paid for by federal money. The memo released by Russell Vought, Director of the Office of Management and Budget, called critical race theory “divisive” and “anti-American propaganda,” adding that the far-left ideology falsely promotes the notion that “there is racism embedded in the belief that America is the land of opportunity or the belief that the most qualified person should receive a job.” The memo states: “These types of “trainings” not only run counter to the fundamental beliefs for which our Nation has stood since its inception, but they also engender division and resentment within the Federal workforce. We can be proud that as an employer, the Federal government has employees of all races, ethnicities, and religions. We can be proud that Americans from all over the country seek to join our workforce and dedicate themselves to public service. We can be proud of our continued efforts to welcome all individuals who seek to serve their fellow Americans as Federal employees. However, we cannot accept our employees receiving training that seeks to undercut our core values as Americans and drive division within our workforce.” . . . One recent example of critical race theory that was exposed was at the National Museum for African American History and Culture (NMAAHC), which promoted the racist and bigoted notion that the following things were bad because they were part of “whiteness”: Self-reliance, Nuclear family unit, Objective, rational linear thinking, Hard work is the key to success, Work before play, Respect authority, Competition is good, and Progress)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: A “Black Lives Matter” protest that arose amid threats of vandalism and arrest ended in a peaceful joining together Friday of Atlantic City’s mayor and a community activist who had threatened to paint those words on the seaside gambling resort’s historic Boardwalk. Mayor Marty Small and protest organizer Steve Young picked up roller paint brushes and helped write those words on the pavement of Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard in front of the city’s Civil Rights Garden. Young wanted to paint the name of the movement on the Boardwalk, which Small said is illegal. The mayor then planned the city’s own even where the words could be painted in a public place.)

— IRS Takes Aim At High-Income Non-Filers. Will It Cut The ‘Tax Gap’? – Jeremy Temkin (DIERSEN: I was an IRS Revenue Officer for almost 9 years, the last 5 1/2 years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 levels, currently $85,084-$96,431/year. I worked for GAO on audits of IRS’s Criminal Investigation Division for three years at the GS-13 Step 1-3 levels, currently $101,176-$107,922/year. I passed the CPA and Certified Internal Auditor examinations on my first attempt. I have a master’s degree in accounting. I am a Certified Fraud Examiner and a Forensic Accountant. I should write a book about my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes who have demonized, denigrated, and condemned my knowledge of IRS the most. I would focus on past/present U.S. Senators, U.S. Representatives, their major donors, their political consultants, their campaign managers, their staff members, and their volunteers.)
https://www.forbes.com/sites/insider/2020/08/13/irs-takes-aim-at-high-income-non-filers-will-it-cut-the-tax-gap/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: As announced, IRS revenue officers were going to visit non-filers in order to apprise them of their filing and payment obligations in the hopes of bringing them into compliance. Of course, the Covid-19 pandemic made face-to-face visits impossible, and the IRS was forced to suspend its efforts with respect to non-filers by virtue of its People First Initiative, which expired on July 15, 2020. . .Fortunately for many high-income non-filers, the anticipated visits will be conducted by revenue officers (who pursue collections) as opposed to special agents (who bring criminal cases) and, in announcing its initiative, the IRS stressed that the visits “underscore the importance of people filing their taxes . . . , even if they can’t pay the full amount of tax due.” As I previously noted, filing a delinquent return (even without the required payment) will reduce the likelihood of a criminal prosecution. Thus, high-income non-filers should take advantage of the IRS’s initiative to bring themselves into compliance even if they can’t pay their full bill; those who fail to do so after being contacted by a revenue officer will be exposing themselves to a heightened risk of criminal prosecution.)

They could not find a qualified Democrat, minority, female, or veteran who would take the job. I worked a) part-time while I was a full-time student at UIC 1966-1968 and at NIU in 1969 and b) full-time during the summers of 1967, 1968 and 1969. They outrageously succeeded in forcing me to resign in September of 1969 by falsely claiming that I would not be available to work enough part-time hours. I was available to work all Mondays, all Fridays, all Saturdays, all Sundays, all holidays, and all days that NIU was not in session. My Democrat Park Forest Post Office supervisor made it clear that he strongly disapproved of my following demographics: Republican, conservative, Missouri Synod Lutheran, 100% German American, union member, non-poor, college student, draft avoider, Crete resident since 1948, owner of a 1966 Pontiac Tempest Sprint, then a 1968 Oldsmobile 442, and then a 1969 Dodge Charger SE, and my ancestors had been in America since 1844.)

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.) )
https://townhall.com/columnists/rachelalexander/2020/08/31/phony-obama-discrimination-lawsuits-still-lingering-n2575335
(FROM THE ARTICLE: There was no evidence of discrimination. No one came forward to complain. The lawsuits were solely based on statistics. They didn’t take into account legitimate reasons for the discrepancies. Fewer minorities and women may have applied for jobs. They may not have had as much experience or education. By forcing people artificially into boxes, opportunities that accommodate people’s different needs are eliminated. For example, a woman may want a job with fewer hours or flexible hours due to raising children. But these rigid categories eliminate the opportunity for her.)

https://www.academia.org/wisconsin-lutheran-caves-revokes-invitation-to-pence/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Vice President Mike Pence was scheduled to speak at the commencement of Wisconsin Lutheran University this past weekend, but the private college revoked the invitation. The college, located in Milwaukee, announced that “after further review with careful consideration” it chose to “present a different speaker” instead of the vice president. The college announced that it replaced Pence with Rev. Mark Jeske of St. Marcus Lutheran Church. Jaske is the senior pastor at the Milwaukee-based Lutheran church and he has been with the church since 1980. Wisconsin Lutheran University initially fought back criticisms from alumni and current students about having Pence speak at commencement and said it was a nonpolitical event. The university noted that Pence’s service has come with “an unapologetic faith in Christ” and praised his advocacy “for the freedom of religious expression.” It added, “This event is not an endorsement of a political party, candidate, or a party’s platform.” But the university’s statement fell on deaf ears. The anti-Pence coalition wrote an open letter and claimed that Pence’s was part of “an incredibly divisive and controversial ticket” in an election year. They also claimed that it was “ignorant and deceptive” for the college to invite Pence without acknowledging the political implications. Wisconsin’s Democratic Party issued a statement critical of Pence and said, “It’s clear why Pence was disinvited from speaking at Wisconsin Lutheran’s College’s commencement: the Trump administration is focused on dividing, not uniting.” Neither the state Democratic Party nor the anti-Pence coalition acknowledged that the disinvitation controversy is an example of “cancel culture” and fails to live up to America’s long-held standard of tolerance. Cancel culture is the practice of withholding support and publicly shaming individuals over their political or moral views. None of Pence’s critics admitted that the Trump administration (and by extension, Pence) has advanced religious freedom protections for Christians and those of other faiths.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: 7. Assuming years of experience as a proxy for skill. Asking for unrealistic qualifications and relying more on the years of experience on the CV rather than skills (e.g. 10 years of experience for a close-to-junior position), Although I understand that in some markets strict requirements might be used preliminary to select the most interesting candidates, there really is no concrete reason to do so.” — Joel Cociani Take college degrees: If a four-year degree is required, why is it required? What does a degree prove? If you need a mechanical engineer, then a degree does indicate a certain level of knowledge. But if you need a customer service rep, requiring a degree may automatically exclude some potentially awesome people. The same is true with years of experience. Say you require “at least five years of experience in an accounting role.” What do those years of service indicate? Only that you’ve managed to hold accounting jobs for five years. Never use an experience or irrelevant qualifications as a proxy for an achievement. What matters is what people can do. Which means what matters is what they’ve done.)

WTTW
— As the RNC Kicks Off, A Look at the GOP in Illinois – Amanda Vinicky
https://news.wttw.com/2020/08/24/rnc-kicks-look-gop-illinois
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Leading up to and during his term as Illinois’ 42nd governor, Bruce Rauner spent some of his personal fortune to help boost the Republican Party in the state. He’s not only no longer doing that, Rauner’s not even registered to vote in Illinois anymore; he’s set to cast his ballot from Florida. It’s a sign of the lurch the Illinois GOP is in: The Congressional delegation is split 13 Democrats to five Republicans, both of the state’s U.S. Senators are Democrats, there are no GOP constitutional officers and Republicans are in super-minorities in both the Illinois House and Senate. It wasn’t always this way; in Gov. Jim Edgar’s day it was Republicans who held the reins in Illinois. But, in another indication of the state party’s identity crisis, Edgar is voting for Democrat Joe Biden instead of President Donald Trump. “Donald Trump just hasn’t grown in office. I hoped when he got elected that maybe he might grow in office,” Edgar said. “He has been more of a disappointment than I thought he would be four years ago, and I was definitely bummed out when he won four years ago. But I’m just – I think this country has suffered a lot that going to take a while to take care of.” While Trump is popular in much of downstate Illinois, Edgar said the President hurts Republican candidates who run statewide, in the city of Chicago and in the suburbs. “If Trump would lose in November, then I think the Republican Party in Illinois statewide has a better chance of coming back,” Edgar said. “Republican candidates have to answer everything Trump says and does. … It hurts them in the suburbs and in the city.” Illinois Republican Party chairman Tim Schneider said on Monday that President Donald Trump can win the state. “Our side has the energy going this election. Who really cares about Sleepy Joe and Kamala Harris,” Schneider said. “People aren’t rushing out the door to vote for Joe Biden.” The “lawlessness in Chicago” will put Trump on the victory path, Schneider said. “With the rioting and the protests … peaceful protest is one thing but rioting and looting and then allowing the mayor of Chicago to barricade her four blocks around her and protect her with 150 police and then not protect our downtown and our Magnificent Mile and what about these terrible crimes and murders and shootings,” Schneider said. “That’s going on in Illinois everywhere with a Democratic mayor and a Democratic governor. We need to make Illinois Republican again so we can institute policies that are positive for the people of Illinois. Keep people from leaving our state. Or as I always say, we’re going to need a wall around Illinois, just to keep people in.” Meanwhile, Republican lawmakers say Democrats who control the General Assembly are stalling on beefing up ethics measures even as for the fourth time prosecutors filed federal charges against a member of the legislature and as powerful utility ComEd has admitted to a massive bribery scheme tied to Democratic Party of Illinois chairman and Illinois House Speaker Michael Madigan.)

While I worked for GAO 1980-1997, the last 11 years of which at GS-13 Step 1-10 levels, currently $101,176-$131,532/year, 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 $85,084-$96,431/year. 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.)

(FROM THE LETTER: During the 2020 Democratic National Convention, five Republicans crossed the aisle to speak and endorse Joe Biden for president: John Kasich, Susan Molinari, Colin Powell, Christine Whitman and Meg Whitman. Mr. Biden promised that if elected president he would have the most diverse cabinet and administration in history, representing the gorgeous American mosaic. He also promised to appoint the first female African-American Supreme Court justice. Republicans represent a significant portion of America. How many of them will be invited to serve in Mr. Biden’s Cabinet and administration? Will any of these five Republicans be offered a job in a Biden White House? Will Mr. Biden make a public commitment on this issue of inclusion for Republicans prior to Election Day? Voters want to know.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Republicans opted against drafting a 2020 platform, but they did agree on a handful of statements that reflect the party’s core values. The Republican National Committee passed seven resolutions during its annual summer meeting before members and this cycle’s convention delegates vote Monday to renominate President Trump as the GOP standard-bearer for the general election against Democrat Joe Biden. The RNC’s business agenda included affirming its decision to keep its 2016 platform, essentially a nonbinding messaging document outlining Republican positions on a range of issues, until 2024. They also stuck up for Christopher Columbus, credited with the 1492 European discovery of the “New World” of the Americas. Statues erected in Columbus’s honor were toppled or desecrated this summer during protests against racial injustice over the Italian explorer’s treatment of indigenous people, particularly in modern-day Haiti and the Dominican Republic. Republicans on Saturday also ripped “cancel” or “callout” culture, which encourages boycotts of people or businesses by those who don’t condone their comments or actions. “The Republican National Committee voted to approve seven resolutions 1) to conserve history and combat prejudice with respect to Christopher Columbus 2) to uphold the First Amendment in response to the coronavirus pandemic and the ‘cancel culture’ amendment,” Georgia Republican Party Chairman David Shafer tweeted. Other resolutions touted the Trump administration’s accomplishments, urged Congress to do more to prevent Chinese companies dominating the country’s medical supply chain amid the COVID-19 outbreak, and pushed lawmakers “to overhaul the Administrative Procedure Act of 1946 refuting the legitimacy of the Southern Poverty Law Center to identify hate groups,” according to Shafer. A second GOP official in the Westin Charlotte meeting room, closed to reporters and TV crews, confirmed to the Washington Examiner that the resolutions were passed. National Republican Committee leaders and state party committee heads are gathering this weekend to provide updates, take part in training sessions, and attend meetings on topics from budgets to internal rules. They’ll be joined on Monday by Republican convention delegates to vote on the 2020 presidential nomination. Trump is visiting Asheville, North Carolina, next week, but White House and campaign aides remain mum on whether he plans to make a surprise appearance in Charlotte. The president plans to deliver his nomination acceptance speech on Thursday at the White House. Most of the Charlotte convention will be replaced by virtual prime-time programming similar to the Democratic convention last week. The Charlotte host committee has already begun its closeout process, which incorporates $3.2 million worth of cash and in-kind donations to the local community that had banked on a convention-related economic boost.)

James Antle III (DIERSEN: Who represents the Republican Party base in your precinct, in your municipal district, in your municipality, in your township, in your county district, and in your county? I represent the Republican Party base in my precinct and I am one of the far too few who represent the Republican Party base in Wheaton’s West District, in Wheaton, in Milton Township, in DuPage County’s 4th District, and in DuPage County. The Republican Party base supports the traditional family, right to life, immigration, illegal drugs, Second Amendment, and equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) planks in the Republican Party platform. Beyond tragically, far too many leaders of the Milton Township Republican Organization, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Illinois Republican Party reject some, if not most, if not all of the aforesaid planks.)

SPRINGFIELD STATE JOURNAL REGISTER
— Republicans complain about Pritzker trying to withdraw from patronage consent decree – Doug Finke (DIERSEN: All my critics/opponents, all their operatives, and all their dupes have always promoted patronage, promoted political affiliation discrimination, promoted reverse discrimination, promoted age discrimination, and promoted 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. (SEE: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rutan_v._Republican_Party_of_Illinois and http://www.nytimes.com/1996/03/13/us/seeking-return-to-ways-of-patronage-in-politics.html ) Because of the position taken by the Republican Party of Illinois in Rutan v. 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 promote patronage and political affiliation discrimination and 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.)
https://www.sj-r.com/news/20200817/republicans-complain-about-pritzker-trying-to-withdraw-from-patronage-consent-decree
(FROM THE ARTICLE: In a recent filing in federal court, the administration said offices under the governor should be allowed out of the decree. It said that during the 48 years the decree has been in effect there have been numerous changes to employment law, including the Rutan decision stemming from an Illinois case that said most government jobs should be free of political considerations when hiring, firing, promoting or transferring employees. An exception is made for policy-making jobs. The administration argued that there is now a comprehensive list of jobs that are covered by Rutan and those that are not. It said many other changes have been made and “the objective of the 1972 decree has been achieved.” Mazzochi said that is not the case. “The spirit of the Shakman decree is that our public jobs should not be used to coerce support for a political machine and the Pritzker administration has been sidestepping these decrees since he took office,” she said. “To claim as the governor has that Illinois has made patronage a thing of the past is to laugh in the face of facts.” She cited the special master brought in to monitor hiring at the Illinois Department of Transportation after it was discovered political appointees were put into jobs that were covered by the Rutan decision. The appointments were made during the tenures of former Govs. Pat Quinn and Rod Blagojevich. In February, the special master complained in a report that the Pritzker administration had taken steps to make it more difficult to monitor hiring practices at the agency.)

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 $85,084-$96,431/year. 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.)

DAILY SIGNAL
— Investigating the Prevalence of Left-Leaning ‘Fact-Checkers’ – Sharyl Attkisson (DIERSEN: QUESTION: What qualifications do I have to be a fact checker? ANSWER: While I worked for GAO 1980-1997, the last 11 years of which at GS-13 Step 1-10 levels, currently $101,176-$131,532/year, 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 $85,084-$96,431/year. 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.)
