— ‘A wonderful, loving family’: Boy dies from Beecher crash that killed pregnant mother, 2 brothers – Zak Koeske, Alicia Fabbre  (DIERSEN: My outstanding parents had me baptized at Trinity Lutheran Church in Crete in 1948. They sent me to Trinity Lutheran Grade School in Crete 1953-1961, then sent me to Hope Lutheran Grade School in Park Forest 1961-1962 to stay with the Missouri Synod, and then had me confirmed as a Missouri Synod Lutheran (MSL) at Hope Lutheran Church in 1962.  I should write a book about those who have lots of religious, government, political, and/or financial clout in Wheaton, Glen Ellyn, in Milton Township, in DuPage County, and in Illinois who viciously demonize, viciously denigrate, and viciously condemn MSLs as being “too conservative.”)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: On Thursday evening, about 200 people gathered at Trinity Lutheran Church in Crete to pray for the Schmidt family. The family was headed to Vacation Bible School at the church when the wreck occurred. “I believe you all understand when I say I wish we weren’t here,” Pastor Frank Italiano told his congregation. . .The service was the second one for the family. On Wednesday night, 200 people gathered at Firemen’s Park for a prayer vigil, where two local pastors offered prayers, blessings and a message of hope. The solemn event was organized by a group of local mothers who did not know the Schmidt family but were touched by the tragedy.)

— Incomes getting more unequal, tied to anti-union efforts – Bill Knight (DIERSEN: Virtually all of my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes a) want cheap labor, b) hate unions, c) hate past, present, and future union members, and d) want wages and benefits to be cut for everyone but themselves.  They stress that I was a union member for almost 12 years.)

— New poll shows signs of trouble for Rauner – Brandon Richard  (DIERSEN: What do you get blamed for?  Will anti-Trumps want to keep me as the DuPage County Milton Township Precinct 9 Republican Committeeman a) because only 137 voted for Trump in that precinct while 211 voted for Clinton and b) because Trump got fewer votes than Clinton in Wheaton, in Milton Township, in DuPage County, and Illinois?)

— Sessions not leaving unless pushed – AP (DIERSEN: QUESTION: What did I “gain” by taking my Democrat GAO superiors’ early retirement “offer” on September 30, 1997 when I was 49 years old?  ANSWER: No longer having to come to work and enduring their tremendous efforts to get rid of me. QUESTION: What did I lose?  First, the difference between my salary ($122,991/year in today’s dollars) an my Civil Service Retirement System (CSRS) pension (currently $50,856/year) or $72,135/year in today’s dollars until I would taken regular retirement and then the difference between what my CSRS pension would have been (much more than $50,856/year) and $50,856/year for the rest of my life.  So far, during the last 238 months, I have lost $1,430,856 in today’s dollars, that is, what my salary would have been ($2,439,500) minus the CSRS pension payments that I have received ($1,008,644). But the lost money is nothing compared to the ammunition that my Democrat GAO superiors gave my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes.  They use my being forced to take early retirement to hint/imply/argue/shout that I must be a racist, a sexist, a bigot, or even far worse things.)

CENTRAL ILLINOIS PROUD
— Senate sends Russia sanctions bill to Trump’s desk  White House has not said if Trump will sign it – JEREMY HERB  (DIERSEN: I should write a book about the unsuccessful attempt that my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes made to sanction me at the start of the 2006 Illinois Center Right Coalition Annual Convention (ICRC) in the Wheaton Bowl Banquet Hall. Previously, my Democrat GAO superiors had sanctioned me by forcing me to retire in 1997 when I was 49 years old, always ranking me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes, not promoting me beyond GS-13, 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 an $18,847 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, 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. My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes in the Milton Township Republican Central Committee, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, Illinois Republican Party, TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois, Wheaton Chamber of Commerce, ICRC, American Association of Political Consultants, Wheaton, Glen Ellyn, Milton Township, DuPage County, Illinois, etc, SIDE WITH MY DEMOCRAT SUPERIORS IN THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT AGAINST ME.)

Anti-Trumps are anti-Protestant, anti-conservative, anti-Republican, anti-American, anti-White, anti-male, anti-older people, anti-rich people, anti-gun owners, anti-German Americans, anti-draft avoiders (except Bill Clinton), and/or anti-those whose ancestors have been in America longer than their ancestors.)

CAPITOL FAX
— Pritzker campaign attacks new House GOP floor leader as “radical”  (DIERSEN: Political parties exist to help elect candidates who can and will defend and advance their platform.  Outstandingly, Breen focuses on defending and advancing the Illinois Republican Party platform.)
https://capitolfax.com/2017/07/28/pritzker-campaign-attacks-new-house-gop-floor-leader-as-radical/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The Pritzker campaign is not happy…Rep. Peter Breen is reportedly taking over as House Republican floor leader, a move that solidifies Illinois Republicans’ dramatic shift to the right under failed Governor Bruce Rauner. Breen will replace moderate Rep. Steven Andersson who was exiled following his leadership in overriding Bruce Rauner’s reckless budget veto. The new floor leader will have the opportunity to make his radical social conservative views priorities for House Republicans. Here are just a few of the extreme right-wing stances that Breen has taken recently: Defended a new Rauner hire that compared abortion to Nazi eugenics. Fought against a bill strengthening the Illinois’ Equal Pay Act, calling it “the stupidest bill we’ve considered.” Lied about the potential risk Illinois women face in maintaining access to reproductive healthcare. Opposed marriage equality. “Peter Breen’s ascension to House leadership is another sign of the radical right-wing takeover led by Rauner and his team of ’superstars’ who are desperate for a political win,” said Pritzker campaign spokeswoman Jordan Abudayyeh. “The damage he’s done to Illinois so far is unconscionable. Bruce Rauner continues to line his administration with ideologues eager to help him hold children and families hostage to his political agenda—a move that means more damage is coming.”)

Of course, I was always very high on those lists because I am Republican, White, male, old (born in 1948), and non-veteran.  Further, I did not make GS-13 (currently $94,610) by age 25, GS-14 (currently $111,801) by age 30, GS-15 (currently $131,508) by age 35, or Senior Executive Service (currently $161,900) by age 40. Further, I complained about patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation.  Further, in 1988, when I was 40 years old, I became an active member in a class action lawsuit that charged GAO with reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation.)

Much of the work that I did for IRS was similar to the work that I did for GAO including investigating, interviewing, gathering data, summarizing data, analyzing data, developing recommendations, and report writing. But the Democrats who ran GAO dismissed/belittled the skills that I developed working for IRS for almost 9 years, the last 5 1/2 years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 levels, currently $79,563-$90,173.  To transfer, they forced me to take a downgrade from GS-12 Step 5 down to GS-9 Step 10, an $18,847 pay cut in today’s dollars. They would not have done that if I had been a Democrat, a minority, a female, or a veteran.)

— Senator Wants to Stop the IRS From Rehiring Employees It Fired – Ian Smith  (DIERSEN: My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have always promoted patronage.

To get rid of me, my Democrat IRS superiors a) got rid of the IRS manager who had promoted me in 1972, 1973, and 1974, b) disallowed my partial day per diem claims in 1974 (SEE:
http://www.gao.gov/products/463866), c) did not promote me beyond GS-12, and d) disallowed my education deductions in 1978. My Democrat IRS superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates dismissed/belittled the fact that a) I earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976, b) I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, and c) I earned a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: He’ll surely be happy, then, to clear up any confusion over his 2010 Republican primary campaign, which he describes in his biography on his organization’s website as ending in “a close loss on Election Day.”  Andrzejewski came in fifth, out of six declared candidates, with 14 percent of the vote. “It was a very credible campaign,” he told Inc. “I only lost by 40,000 votes.” Technically, it was 44,497.

— What Illinois stands to gain from losing huge Foxconn factory- GREG HINZ  (DIERSEN: QUESTION: What did I “gain” by taking my Democrat GAO superiors’ early retirement “offer” on September 30, 1997 when I was 49 years old?  ANSWER: No longer having to come to work and enduring their tremendous efforts to get rid of me. QUESTION: What did I lose?  First, the difference between my salary ($122,991/year in today’s dollars) an my Civil Service Retirement System (CSRS) pension (currently $50,856/year) or $72,135/year in today’s dollars until I would taken regular retirement and then the difference between what my CSRS pension would have been (much more than $50,856/year) and $50,856/year for the rest of my life.  So far, during the last 238 months, I have lost $1,430,856 in today’s dollars, that is, what my salary would have been ($2,439,500) minus the CSRS pension payments that I have received ($1,008,644). But the lost money is nothing compared to the ammunition that my Democrat GAO superiors gave my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes.  They use my being forced to take early retirement to hint/imply/argue/shout that I must be a racist, a sexist, a bigot, or even far worse things.)

But that was a) because my father had died suddenly at age 47 in October of 1969, b) because my mother had never attended high school and she had never earned income, c) because I had applied for a financial hardship draft deferment to help support them, and d) because the job that I had gotten working for the Firestone Store in Chicago Heights did not pay that much. In June of 1971, I started working for IRS at the GS-7 level (currently $44,853/year), and in June of 1972, IRS promoted me to GS-9 (currently $54,864/year).)

— Michelle Obama’s burden — and ours  Despite the many outrages against her and her family, the former first lady remained resolutely upbeat about this nation as a land of opportunity. – Clarence Page  (DIERSEN: What has taken opportunity away from you?  For me, it has been Affirmative Action, Diversity, Inclusion, patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation.  In 1971, I would have become an Oldsmobile employee instead of an IRS employee if Oldsmobile had not withdrawn a job offer that I had accepted saying that Oldsmobile had just agreed to stop hiring Whites to settle an EEOC complaint.  What has given you opportunity?  For me, it was civil service protections. 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.)

— Special session tab could have been higher without suburban lawmaker’s bill – Kerry Lester  (DIERSEN: I should write a book about my Democrat superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates in the federal government who successfully got IRS to officially investigate (that is, to disallow) my $5 a day partial day per diem requests in 1974 (SEE: http://www.gao.gov/products/463866).)
http://www.dailyherald.com/news/20170727/special-session-tab-could-have-been-higher-without-suburban-lawmakers-bill
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Bush’s bill, which goes into effect immediately, caps all 177 General Assembly members’ per diem rates at $111 per session day; lawmakers who travel more than 50 miles to the capitol would continue to be reimbursed 39 cents per mile. It would also eliminate a 2.1 percent cost of living adjustment to their annual salary, which has a base pay of $67,636 before stipends for leadership and committee roles. Without the legislation, per diems were set to rise to $142 per day, and mileage to 53 cents per mile, based on federal rates.)

What happened, we asked him this week when he took time to speak to the Daily Herald editorial board? “Battling (House Speaker Michael) Madigan and his political self-serving machine is very draining, very difficult, and sometimes, we need new troops,” he said.)

Political parties exist to help elect candidates who can and will defend and advance their platform.  My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes disagree.  They hint/imply/argue/shout that my bosses include the MTRCC officers, the DuPage County Republican Central Committee (DCRCC) officers, my representative on the IRP State Central Committee, the IRP officers, and all the Republican elected officials who represent all or part of my precinct. My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes hint/imply/argue/shout that political parties exist to win elections no matter what it takes. According to them, “the platform is the problem.” “To win,” a) they want to dump the traditional family, right to life, abortion, immigration, illegal drugs, equal opportunity, Second Amendment, and/or other planks in the Republican Party platform and IRP platform and b) they want to dump the MTRCC resolution against video gambling.  To attract voters who are anti-Trump, anti-Protestant, anti-conservative, anti-Republican, anti-American, anti-White, anti-male, anti-older people, anti-rich people, anti-gun owners, anti-German Americans, anti-draft avoiders (except Bill Clinton), and/or anti-those whose ancestors have been in America longer than their ancestors, THEY WANT THE MTRCC, DCRCC, IRP, AND REPUBLICAN CANDIDATES AND ELECTED OFFICIALS TO DUMP voters who are Trump supporters, Protestant, conservative, Republican, American, White, male, older, rich, gun owners, German American, draft avoiders (except Bill Clinton), and/or those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time.  Of course, I disagree.)

Of course, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have always been furious about that.  The GS-14 GAO manager who took the lead a) in getting GAO to force me to take an $18,847 (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980, b) in keeping me off audits of IRS, c) in delaying my promotion to GS-13, d) in stopping me from being promoted to GS-14, e) etc. bragged that he got Congress to end the aforesaid retirement benefit that I got.)
http://www.dailyherald.com/news/20170725/dupage-forest-commissioners-probably-wont-ax-pensions
(FROM THE ARTICLE: DuPage County Forest Preserve District commissioners could eliminate their taxpayer-funded pensions by simply declaring their elected jobs don’t require them to work at least 1,000 hours a year. But that appears unlikely to happen because most commissioners insist their $50,000-a-year positions are more than just part-time gigs. “This job takes more than 1,000 hours to do if you are meeting the expectations of your constituents,” Commissioner Tim Whelan said. “There’s just a plethora of issues that come up.”)

http://www.oakpark.com/News/Articles/7-25-2017/River-Forest-drafts-a-Welcoming-Resolution/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The River Forest Village Board is currently working on a so-called “welcoming resolution” draft to spell out its policies toward undocumented village residents and visitors. As reported by Wednesday Journal, nearby communities, including Oak Park, have adopted similar measures in recent months. At its July 10 meeting, village trustees discussed a working draft of the resolution and took public comment. They did not include the draft in the meeting’s packet and it was not available for residents to read. At that meeting, Village President Catherine Adduci said the resolution could be on the board’s August agenda. Wednesday Journal got a copy of the latest available working draft through a Freedom of Information Act request. The draft is the same document trustees discussed at the July 10 meeting, Village Administrator Eric Palm said. It has not been updated or changed based on trustee comments or resident feedback. The full document is available online at oakpark.com.)

— BUSINESSES fear RAUNER immigration REVERSAL – Natasha Korecki  (DIERSEN: If Rauner signs SB31, constructively, he has left the Republican Party.)
http://www.politico.com/tipsheets/illinois-playbook/2017/07/26/politico-illinois-playbook-business-group-fears-rauner-immigration-retreat-221521
(FROM THE ARTICLE: An Illinois business group fears that recent staffing shifts in Gov. Bruce Rauner’s office may imperil a pro-immigrant bill that’s been sitting on the governor’s desk for nearly a month. The legislation, called the Illinois Trust Act — SB31 — limits local authorities’ reach on investigating immigration status when no serious or violent crime has been committed. It prohibits authorities from holding an individual solely on the basis of immigration status. The aim is to allay rampant fear of deportation in the immigrant community, which business owners say is harming constituencies from a moral standpoint. And from a business standpoint, it’s harming their workforce. See bill language here  Immigrant PTSD: The Illinois Business Immigration Coalition, a chief supporter of the bill, says it believed the governor supported the measure and that SB31 was on a path to become law. Now they say Rauner is “dragging his feet” on the issue. One major supporter of the law, Crate & Barrel co-founder Carole Browe Segal, who also co-chairs an Illinois business group, said she’s disappointed Rauner hasn’t already signed it. “This is a really important bill that we need to stand up for as good citizens. This bill protects the undocumented that have done no wrongdoing,” Segal told POLITICO. “We have to realize the fear and the stress and the PTSD that we are causing the 12 million undocumented workers.” Business support: In June, 171 CEOs, employers, farmers, manufacturers in Illinois urged Governor Rauner to support the Trust Act, in a full page ad in the Chicago Tribune. Asked where the governor stands on the bill, if his position recently changed and whether he will sign it, Rauner’s office offered little guidance. “The Senate has sent SB31 to the Governor’s desk. It is currently being reviewed,” said governor spokeswoman Laurel Patrick. “I will keep you posted on any updates or additional details.” Inconsistencies: William Kunkler III, a Republican co-chair of the Illinois Business Immigration Coalition, said he recognizes the vise Rauner is in on the issue as he heads into reelection in 2018. Rauner must contend with a pro-Trump electorate in southern and central Illinois, many of whom supported the president’s hardline approach to illegal immigrants and whose support Rauner needs as he enters into a brutal reelection battle. Kunkler said Rauner has supported major immigration issues in the past, including signing a law that provides health insurance to 41,000 undocumented children. “He’s been very helpful and responsive to our organization. I feel like I’m on the same page with the governor on this issue overall,” Kunkler said of the governor. “I’m surprised that this wouldn’t just go forward quickly. I’d want to know who’s hanging this up and why.”)

FEDERAL NEWS RADIO
— Republicans use Holman Rule to propose 89 personnel cuts at CBO – Nicole Ogrysko  (DIERSEN: My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes in Wheaton, in Glen Ellyn, in Milton Township, in DuPage County, and Illinois would love to get my Congressman Peter Roskam to use the Holman Rule to cut if not eliminate my $50,856/year Civil Service Retirement System pension and my $17,288 federal health, dental, and vision insurance subsidy. They were overjoyed a) when my Democrat GAO superiors forced me to retire in 1997 when I was 49 years old, always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes, did not promote me beyond GS-13, 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 $18,847 pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980; b) when my Democrat IRS superiors did not promote me beyond GS-12, disallowed my education deductions in 1978, and disallowed my partial day per diem claims in 1974; and c) when my Democrat Post Office superiors forced me resign in 1969 and disallowed my sick leave requests in 1969 and 1968.)
https://federalnewsradio.com/workforce/2017/07/republicans-use-holman-rule-to-propose-89-personnel-cuts-at-cbo/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: For the first time since House lawmakers reinstated the rule earlier this year, three Republicans filed an amendment using the Holman Rule to target 89 employees at the Congressional Budget Office. The little-known relic from the 1870s lets any member of the House make significant changes to agency functions or personnel through an amendment during the appropriations process. . .Democrats in the national capital region, including Minority Whip Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) and Del. Eleanor Holmes Norton (D-D.C.), along with Reps. Don Beyer (D-Va.), Anthony Brown (D-Md.) Gerry Connolly (D-Va.), John Delaney (D-Md.), Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) and Bobby Scott (D-Va.), blasted the amendment, calling it “part of a strategic assault on objectivity and expertise in the civil service.” “This is exactly what we worried about when Republicans reinstated this arcane rule in January,” members said in a joint statement. “The Holman Rule empowers members of Congress to target individual federal employees. The rule is being used to punish an important advisory body for doing its job by providing forecasts which some members now find inconvenient.” Lawmakers voted back in January to reinstate the “Holman Rule,” a little-known provision that allows lawmakers to bring an amendment on an appropriations bill to the House floor that may “retrench” agency spending, reduce the number of federal employees in a particular agency or cut the salary or “compensation of any person paid out of the Treasury of the United States.” They included the measure in the House rules package at the beginning of the 115th Congress. The Holman Rule essentially lets House lawmakers make changes to a federal employee’s salary or position without input from the appropriations committee. Members can debate these amendments on the House floor for a limited time. But members of Congress haven’t included the Holman Rule since a congressional session in 1983. The rule itself dates back to 1876 and has been a part of the rules package on occasion since then.)

— Trump shames Sessions amid shake-up speculation  Advisers said Trump was considering whether to make a change. Sessions, an Eagle Scout, was noticeably absent on a West Virginia stage as Trump spoke to a Boy Scout jamboree. – JOSH DAWSEY, ELIANA JOHNSON, NAHAL TOOSI and DANIEL LIPPMAN  (DIERSEN: In what ways have your critics/opponents succeeded in shaming you?  My Democrat GAO superiors forced me to retire in 1997 when I was 49 years old, always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes, did not promote me beyond GS-13, 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 $18,847 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, 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.  Democrats and Democrat plants, Libertarians and Libertarian plants, Greens and Green plants, and RINOs ended my TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois chairmanship in 2012, my Wheaton Chamber of Commerce Government Affairs Committee membership in 2011, my service as a Milton Township Republican Central Committee webmaster in 2010 and 2004, my Illinois Center Right Coalition Steering Committee membership in 2007, and my American Association of Political Consultants Midwest Chapter board membership in 2004.

UPI
— JULY 25: In 1978, the world’s first “test-tube” baby, Louise Brown, was born in Oldham, England.  My wife and I were married on April 1, 1978. Because we gave up trying to have children without trying the test tube baby procedure, because we did not adopt, and because we did not become foster parents, my Democrat GAO superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates demonized, denigrated, and condemned me. They compared and contrasted me adversely with one of my Democrat female coworkers who did not abort her child who had Down Syndrome. They would not have done that if I had been a Democrat, a minority, a female, or a veteran.)

— Rauner: Madigan promotes property taxes for personal profit  (DIERSEN: Since my wife and I had 915 Cove Court built in Wheaton in 1984, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes in my precinct, in Wheaton’s West District, in Wheaton, in Glen Ellyn, in Milton Township, in DuPage County, and in Illinois have hinted/implied/argued/shouted that we should pay higher real estate taxes, that is, that the home’s assessed value should be increased.  They side with the home’s builder, with the subdivision’s builder, and with the City of Wheaton that argue that no building or construction code were violated when the subdivision and the home were built. They hint/imply/argue/shout that my wife and I have the “ability to pay” higher taxes because I was born with a silver spoon in my mouth and I have always been privileged, because I avoided the draft, because the federal government grossly overpaid me, because my wife and I gave up trying to have children, we did not adopt, and we did not become foster parents, and because my federal retirement benefits are much too generous. My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes side with Madigan.)

— Smuggling Deaths: What Is to Blame? – MARK KRIKORIAN  (DIERSEN: ANSWER: Anti-Trump individuals, anti-Trump organizations, anti-Trump companies, anti-Trump governments, and anti-Trump countries that encourage people to come to America illegally, to stay in America illegally, and to bring others to America illegally.)
http://www.nationalreview.com/corner/449785/smuggling-deaths-what-blame
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Without E-Verify and worksite enforcement, we send the message that hiring illegal aliens is okay. Without prosecution of immigration-related Social Security fraud and tax fraud we send the message that lying and cheating is okay. Without tracking the departure of temporary visitors, and following up on those who overstay, we send the message that violating the terms of admission is okay. Foreigners hear that message loud and clear, which is why they’re so willing to pay criminals to smuggle them here.)

— Should the Government Fire More People? And How Should They Do It? – Jeff Neal  (DIERSEN: My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes side with my Democrat superiors in the federal government against me.  Constructively, my Democrat GAO superiors fired me in 1997 when I was 49 years old. Since then, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have used that to viciously demonize me, to viciously denigrate me, and to condemn me. Further, they stress a) that my Democrat GAO superiors always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes, did not promote me beyond GS-13, 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 $18,847 pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980; b) that my Democrat IRS superiors did not promote me beyond GS-12, disallowed my education deductions in 1978, and disallowed my partial day per diem claims in 1974; and c) that my Democrat Post Office superiors forced me resign in 1969 and disallowed my sick leave requests in 1969 and 1968.)

The job of first pet – an enviable White House gig with luxurious live-in privileges, after-hours access to the president and guaranteed positive press coverage – is not currently available. That’s because President Donald Trump is not looking for a fluffy sidekick at the moment. Asked about plans for a four-legged addition to the White House, Stephanie Grisham, a spokeswoman for Melania Trump, said in a statement: “The first family is still getting settled so there are no plans at this time.” If Trump stays pet-free, he will be breaking with a long held tradition of presidential pet ownership.)

— Your next big raise? Don’t hold your breath, some economists say – Paul Davidson  (DIERSEN: What raises have you gotten? During the almost 30 years that I worked for the federal government, my salary increased every year because of COLAs, step increases, and/or promotions, except 1980 when I took an $18,847 (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO.  In today’s dollars, I earned $15.56/hour (GS-4 Step 1) when I started working for the Post Office in 1966 when I was 18; $44,853/year (GS-7 Step 1) when I started working for IRS in 1971; $90,173/year (GS-12 Step 5) when I left IRS in 1980; $71,326/year (GS-9 Step 10) when I started working for GAO in 1980; and $122,991/year (GS-13 Step 10) when my Democrat GAO superiors succeeded in forcing me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997. My critics/opponents have always accused me of being overpaid. In my defense, I earned a) a job-related bachelor’s degree when I was 21 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.)

— DuPage County Board member John Curran appointed to state Senate vacancy – Katie Smith
http://www.dailyherald.com/news/20170722/dupage-county-board-member-appointed-to-state-senate-vacancy
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Under state election law, a new member of the Republican party must be appointed to the DuPage County Board within 60 days of Curran’s resignation, which he plans to officially submit Monday, he said. Residents of District 3, which includes parts of Downers Grove, Westmont, Burr Ridge, Hinsdale, Woodridge, Clarendon Hills, Darien and Willowbrook, can apply to at Dupageco.org/countyboard/dist3map. The newly appointed board member will serve the remainder of Curran’s term, which expires Nov. 30, 2018. County Board Chairman Dan Cronin said in a news release Saturday that he will fill Curran’s vacancy until an appointment is made. “While we will truly miss his work and his dedication to DuPage County, we are happy to see him moving on to bigger challenges,” Cronin said. “I’m confident Springfield is gaining an asset who will fight to protect residents of Illinois.” Anyone seeking appointment to the county board should email Cronin at Dan.Cronin@dupageco.org with a resume and letter, not exceeding 300 words, outlining their interest.)

They would demonize, denigrate, and condemn the fact that I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979 and that I passed the Certified Internal Auditor (CIA) examination on my first attempt in 1981.

LINCOLN JOURNAL STAR
— DREAM Act divisive, elitist – RUBEN NAVARRETTE JR. (DIERSEN: From what I see, to curry favor with Democrats, employers want to gloat that they hire illegals, and that to make way for them, they do not hire citizens of America and that they get rid of citizens of America.)
http://journalstar.com/opinion/columnists/ruben-navarrette-dream-act-divisive-elitist/article_58cdae0d-39bb-588f-af15-c17ff32892f2.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: What bothered her was the insistence on going to college. What about those kids who go to vocational school or go straight to work? They didn’t deserve legal status? Someone in Washington was playing God again, deciding who stayed and who went according to a narrow definition of positive behavior. Why stop at attending college? Why not demand that beneficiaries of the DREAM Act not accept any public assistance, or abstain from smoking, or never fall into debt or not be unemployed for more than six months at any point in their lives? The new bill from Graham and Durbin is a slight improvement because it covers those who “work lawfully for at least three years.” But it also has a new requirement that recipients speak English and know U.S. history. Great idea. But shouldn’t we start by demanding those things from native-born U.S. citizens? These moral judgments are all subjective and awfully condescending. They’re all about what Graham, Durbin, and the other senators who will eventually support their bill require to make them feel comfortable with overlooking the fact that these young people are in the country illegally. Welcome to this week’s episode of the game show: “Good Immigrant, Bad Immigrant.” If Graham and Durbin want to make themselves useful in the immigration debate, they should stop treating immigrants like they’re some kind of social science experiment. Instead, they should draft a bill that would eventually legalize most of the 11 million people who are in the country illegally — whether or not they went to college or speak English. It’s no wonder that so many DREAMers experience a version of “survivor’s guilt” because they were tossed a life preserver while their parents and siblings are left to drown. All this talk about how the Trump administration is dividing families. You know what really divides families? The DREAM Act.)

My Democrat GAO superiors always had me under unofficial investigations to justify their forcing me to retire in 1997 when I was 49 years old, their always ranking me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes, their not promoting me beyond GS-13, their keeping me off audits of IRS for all but 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for GAO, and their forcing me to take an $18,847 pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980. They would not have done that if I had been a Democrat, a minority, a female, or a veteran.)

— Hits on federal retirement advance as bill is introduced to fire feds for ‘no cause at all’ – Joe Davidson (DIERSEN: My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have always promoted patronage. 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.)
https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/powerpost/wp/2017/07/21/hits-on-federal-retirement-advance-as-bill-is-introduced-to-fire-feds-for-no-cause-at-all/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Future federal employees could lose their jobs much more easily under legislation introduced by Rep. Todd Rokita (R-Ind.). He wants all new feds to be considered at-will employees, meaning they “may be removed/suspended without notice or right to appeal for good cause, bad cause, or no cause at all,” according to a summary of the legislation. This represents no understanding that civil service protections are designed to protect not just staffers, but also the public from a government bureaucracy riven with political favoritism, as was the case under the spoils system. Even members of Congress eager to fire feds faster must know that this drastic proposal runs afoul of a basic and long-standing principle that says government staffers should be protected from willy-nilly punishment by political operatives. While Rokita’s plan demonstrates the extremes to which the fire-feds-faster crowd will go, presumably, but perhaps not assuredly, there are enough people in Congress who know better. I doubt his legislation will fly. . .Not all Republicans want to punish feds. Nine GOP House members signed a letter in June opposing Trump’s proposal, because it would renege on the retirement promised to feds when they joined the government. “Congress and the administration cannot balance the federal budget on the backs of our federal workers,” said one of the letter signers, Rep. Barbara Comstock (R-Va.), after the House plan was released Tuesday. “Many of our federal employees work at the CIA, Pentagon, FBI, law enforcement, homeland security and intelligence agencies.  They and our federal workforce are dedicated hard-working professionals who work day and night to protect our homeland and national security, cure diseases, and provide services that help the American people.”)
