FEDERAL NEWS NETWORK
— Implementing EO to change federal hiring practices – Tom Temin (DIERSEN: Democrats run the federal government. In 1966, when I was 16 years old, the Democrats who ran the Post Office would not have hired me if I had not earned a high school diploma in 1966. In 1971, the Democrats who ran IRS would not have hired me if I had not had earned a job-related bachelor’s degree (in management) in 1970. In 1972, 1973, and 1974, the Democrats who ran IRS would not have promoted me if I had not been taking job-related (business) graduate courses. In 1980, the Democrats who ran GAO would not have hired me if I had not earned a job-related master’s degree (in business) in 1976, passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, and almost completed the requirements for my second job-related (in accounting) master’s degree. In 1986, the Democrats who ran GAO would not have promoted me if I had not completed the requirements for my a second job-related (accounting) master’s degree in 1980, passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981, and became a licensed CPA in 1981. The Democrats who ran GAO would have succeeded in forcing me to take their early retirement “offer” sooner than they did if I had not become a Certified Fraud Examiner in 1990, a Certified Government Financial Manager in 1994, a Certified Financial Services Auditor in 1996, and a Forensic Accountant in 1990 and if I had not completed the requirements for my third job-related (finance) master’s degree in 1997.)
https://federalnewsnetwork.com/hiring-retention/2020/07/implementing-eo-to-change-federal-hiring-practices/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Last month, the White House issued an executive order, 13-392, to curb what President Trump believes is over-reliance on credentials in federal hiring. And not enough emphasis on skills and merit. As is often the case, it’s up to the Office of Personnel Management to figure out how to implement the order.)

https://www.chicagotribune.com/columns/john-kass/ct-cancel-culture-kass-20200729-chokjsdvezbtbokgwy2bc76nty-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The angry left-handed broom of America’s cultural revolution uses fear to sweep through the our civic, corporate and personal life. It brings with it attempted intimidation, shame and the usual demands for ceremonies of public groveling. It is happening in newsrooms in New York, Philadelphia, Los Angeles. And now it’s coming for me, in an attempt to shame me into silence. Here’s what happened: Last week, with violence spiking around the country, I wrote a column on the growing sense of lawlessness in America’s urban areas. In response, the Tribune newspaper union, the Chicago Tribune Guild, which I have repeatedly and politely declined to join, wrote an open letter to management defaming me, by falsely accusing me of religious bigotry and fomenting conspiracy theories. Newspaper management has decided not to engage publicly with the union. So I will.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: The most devastating problem is the very weak black family structure. Less than a third of black children live in two-parent households and illegitimacy stands at 75%. The “legacy of slavery” is often blamed. Such an explanation turns out to be sheer nonsense when one examines black history. Even during slavery, where marriage was forbidden, most black children lived in biological two-parent families. Professor Herbert G. Gutman’s research in “The Black Family in Slavery and Freedom 1750-1925” found that in three-fourths of 19th-century slave families, all the children had the same mother and father. In New York City, in 1925, 85% of black households were two-parent. In fact, “Five in six children under the age of six lived with both parents.” During slavery and as late as 1920, a black teenage girl raising a child without a man present was a rarity. An 1880 study of family structure in Philadelphia shows that three-quarters of all black families were nuclear families. There were only slight differences in family structure between racial groups. The percentages of nuclear families were: black (75.2%), Irish (82.2%), German (84.5%), and native white Americans (73.1%). Only one-quarter of black families were female-headed. Female-headed families among Irish, German, and native white Americans averaged 11%. According to the 1938 Encyclopaedia of the Social Sciences, only 11% of black children and 3% of white children were born to unwed mothers. As Thomas Sowell reported: “Going back a hundred years, when blacks were just one generation out of slavery, we find that census data of that era showed that a slightly higher percentage of black adults had married than white adults. This fact remained true in every census from 1890 to 1940.” The absence of a father in the home predisposes children, especially boys, to academic failure, criminal behavior, and economic hardship, not to mention an intergenerational repeating of handicaps. If today’s weak family structure is a legacy of slavery, then the people who make such a claim must tell us how it has managed to skip nearly five generations to have an effect.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Corinne Pierog, a Democratic candidate for Kane County Board chair, may take the cake for creative fundraising. She’s holding a Zoom dance lesson and party with special guests Congressman Bill Foster and state Rep. Karina Villa. Will Foster dance? It might be worth paying just to see. Pierog also held a drive-through fundraiser at a pizza restaurant — contributors got a slice when they dropped off their donations. Everyone’s learning to adapt while campaigning and fundraising amid a pandemic. We’re hearing about socially distant breakfasts, rooftop viewing of the Cubs and lots of socially distant golf. Paul Stoddard, a Democrat running for state rep in the 70th District, held a live gathering at the Campton Forest Preserve, where he served ice cream and encouraged social distancing. And Republican Rep. Andrew Chesney is planning a hog roast fundraiser Sept. 26. Still, concerns about coronavirus weigh heavy. Democratic Rep. Emanuel “Chris” Welch canceled a gathering at Pier 31 and held a Zoom instead. The worries about coronavirus were too great, he said during the event. Notables who zoomed in included Lt. Gov. Juliana Stratton, House Majority Leader Greg Harris, Senate Majority Leader Kimberly Lightford, Cook County Board President Toni Preckwinkle and Personal PAC CEO Terry Cosgrove. Republican Rep. Tony McCombie went ahead with her live event — a golf fundraiser. Being outdoors is safer than gathering inside, after all. But a few days after the July 18 outing, she got word that an attendee had tested positive for the coronavirus. She found herself making calls to inform all the donors who golfed. “We’ve been working hard to meet the new demands while being respectful of guidelines and people’s boundaries,” McCombie told Playbook of campaigning during a pandemic. To attendees of live events, her message is simple: “If you’re sick, please stay home and contact a medical professional.”)

https://townhall.com/columnists/georgemullen/2020/07/27/americas-second-civil-war-has-already-begun-n2573081
(FROM THE ARTICLE: America’s second civil has already begun — sans the real shooting (and abject carnage), at least yet. If you doubt this, take a hard look at New York City, Washington DC, Atlanta, St. Louis, Chicago, Seattle, Portland, and most other major urban centers — our so-called civilized society is tearing itself apart. As such, the U.S. federal government must intervene to crush the violent insurrectionists wherever they rear their heads. The Insurrection Act of 1807 authorizes this action, and if our current situation doesn’t warrant deploying it, then what does? Bottom line, we must stop this insurgency before it goes ‘hot’ like our first Civil War. Non-violent protests should continue to be respected and protected — freedom of speech and the right to ‘peaceably’ assemble are bedrocks of our republic. However, politically-motivated protesters who use violence to attack officers of the law, physically harm others, and destroy property; as well as elected public officials who encourage or condone such acts (thus violating their oath to defend the U.S. Constitution), should be arrested and charged with insurrection against the United States, a.k.a. treason. This behavior needs to be stopped in its tracks. Serious federal measures must be deployed — the risks to our republic are growing by the day. Those alive when Fort Sumter was fired upon in 1861 could not have imagined the carnage it would unleash — more than 618,000 dead Americans in just four years. By continuing to allow our current situation to fester, we risk a similar dark outcome. Our first Civil War percolated with small clashes for several years before Fort Sumter turned it into a declared hot war. As such, letting the current situation continue to percolate ignores the lessons of history and may be a major miscalculation. We don’t want future historians to point to Minneapolis as our nation’s second Fort Sumter moment.)

— JULY 5, 1996 FLASHBACK: DOLE TAKES PULSE OF THE HEARTLAND – Dan Balz (DIERSEN: I attended this rally and that made my Democrat GAO superiors furious.)
https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/politics/1996/07/05/dole-takes-pulse-of-the-heartland/913b56e4-dd07-4491-9bb3-7de45ad54d5f/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Republican presidential candidate Robert J. Dole came to the heart of Republican territory in Illinois for a Fourth of July parade and patriotic celebration and said America had endured as a great nation because of “the values of the heartland.” On a warm, summer morning, Dole joined thousands of local residents at the annual Wheaton parade, walking the length of the 1.3-mile parade route that was lined with people who cheered and applauded as he passed by. Wheaton lies in the heart of one of the most GOP counties in the country, a suburban Republican bastion that is crucial to his hopes of unseating President Clinton in November. The enthusiastic reception at the end of a week in which Dole had once again stumbled on the tobacco issue seemed to boost his spirits and buoy his confidence in the race to overtake Clinton. “We’re going to make it,” Dole crowed as he stopped to greet some of the well-wishers. “Wipe him out.” Later at a rally at Memorial Park, Dole recalled the spirit of 1776 as he extolled American virtues and recounted the nation’s triumph over Nazi Germany in World War II and the Soviet Union during the Cold War. “Look around the world this beautiful summer day and ask yourself what has endured,” Dole said. “All those empires have passed away. They were built on raw power and heartless ideology. After more sacrifice and suffering that can never be measured, they are gone.” What has endured, Dole said, are places that symbolize the strength of heartland America, like his home town of Russell, Kan., or like Wheaton. He added, “As long as we hold to the values of the way we began on July 4, 1776, the United States of America will always endure.” But Dole said the United States must never allow its defenses to be weakened, and pointed to the truck bombing in Saudi Arabia that killed 19 Americans as evidence of the terrorist threats and anti-American forces that exist around the world. “We don’t know exactly who’s responsible for this latest outrage,” he said. “The long list of suspects makes clear there is no shortage of those willing to attack innocent people. But together as a nation we resolve that the murderers will be captured and brought to justice — and they should be — and the punishment ought to be death.” Dole also offered his audience this bit of patriotic rhetoric: “I would tell this audience here today, there’s no place like America. There’s no place on Earth like America. This is America. Right today is America. The Fourth of July is America. This is America.” Wheaton is the county seat of DuPage County, the biggest Republican county in Illinois, which has regularly supplied enough votes to help Republican candidates offset Democratic Chicago. Clinton captured only 31 percent of the vote in DuPage four years ago, but President George Bush received just 47 percent, far below the normal level of support for Republicans. Gov. Jim Edgar (R), who accompanied Dole today, said the Republican candidate needs a big victory in suburban Chicago and still has some ways to go. “He’ll do very well downstate,” Edgar said, referring to the counties outside the Chicago metropolitan area. “In the suburbs, the key is to carry it by as big a margin as possible. . . . He needs to be here more. They just don’t know him as well as they should.” Gayle Franzen, the county executive and a Republican, agreed that Dole needs to spend more time in the suburbs but said by November the Republican candidate will be in strong shape here. “The whole integrity issue is sticking {on Clinton},” he said. “In this county {integrity} means everything. Dole is going to set the tone for this.” Walking the parade route this morning, Dole often set a brisk pace, but he paused along the way to shake hands and pose for photographs with those who had come to see him. Local residents said this year’s crowd was larger than usual because of Dole’s participation. “Even a 100-year-old woman at the nursing home knew Dole was coming to town,” said Susan Whelton, who watched Dole pass by. The parade was filled with fire trucks and old cars and floats and the parade route was lined with families with small children. “Go citizen Bob!” yelled one man as the candidate walked by. Jon and Leigh Ann Vock said they had reserved their places along the parade route by putting down chairs at 5 p.m. on Wednesday, 12 hours earlier than usual. Both said they were strong Dole supporters. “If he picks a candidate {for vice president} who’s pro-life, we’ll really, really be supportive,” she said. “We’ll go door to door.” Jim and Diane Neptune also said they support Dole. “We’re Republicans,” she said. Her husband said that unless Dole can come up with something fresh, “it’s going to be a tight race” against Clinton. “But there’s still a lot of time. It’s good that he is out here. People need to know who he is.”)

Schlesinger (DIERSEN: Affirmative Action (AA), Diversity, and Inclusion are reparations. Democrats and RINOs use AA, Diversity, and Inclusion to get rid of Republicans. To promote reparations is to promote hatred against law enforcement officers, against organizations, against companies, against governments, and against countries that are White, male, older, non-poor, heterosexual, married, Trump supporters, conservative, patriotic, Republican, American, gun owners, Christian, Italian American, German American, draft avoiders (except Joe Biden), and those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time.)

— AS THE DEMOCRAT PARTY’S STRANGLEHOLD ON CHICAGO TIGHTENS: ‘I Can’t Believe We Survived,’ Uber Driver Says After He Was Attacked By Large Group Of Teens Downtown – Jermont Terry
https://chicago.cbslocal.com/2020/07/20/i-cant-believe-we-survived-uber-driver-says-after-he-was-attacked-by-large-group-of-teens-downtown/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: “I can’t believe we survived” – those are the words of a terrified Uber driver who was caught in the middle of hundreds of teens getting pushed through the downtown area by Chicago Police. As CBS 2’s Jermont Terry reported, the driver had to jump the curb and then go the wrong way down Washington Street on the sidewalk just to escape the group, which targeted him at a red light. On Monday night, the attack was raising bigger questions about what is being done to handle those rowdy teens on weekends. Standing on the corner of Wabash Avenue and Washington Street brings back horrible memories for the Uber driver. “I’m just scared, and it’s going to take a while to regain the trust of the city, I guess,” he said. The driver is fearful after his Kia ended up getting each and every window busted out – all by a group of teens who were getting ushered by police from Millennium Park on July 4th weekend. “I knew they were coming I said, ‘Oh f***, and so they came and jumped on the car and started dancing around on the hood,” he said. But the driver said some in the crowd turned violent and tried opening the doors. What happened next had the driver and his two passengers in disbelief. “And then they broke in the driver window, and that’s where I knew we were in big trouble, because they were trying to grab me, and I heard the back rear window shatter as well,” he said. A pitchfork crashed through the rear window, coming within inches of his Uber passengers. “Who knows what would have happened if they were able to pull us out of the vehicle? It seem like they wanted blood,” he said. “It’s terrifying just to think that there’s just basically a school a piranhas just roaming the streets of Chicago, and we don’t know where they’re going to show up.” CBS 2 first exposed how these groups of 300 to 400 have roamed the Loop and downtown for consecutive Saturdays. The CPD said it has tactical units ready to deal with the crowds. But with teens turning violent, many are concerned it will only get worse.)

CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— DIERSEN HEADLINE: OUTRAGEOUS: A hate-filled Trump-hating St. Louis prosecutor has charged a husband and wife with felony unlawful use of a weapon for displaying guns during a racial injustice protest outside their $1.15 million home.
https://www.chicagotribune.com/nation-world/ct-nw-st-louis-couple-charged-mark-patricia-mccloskey-20200720-trwnxyn4qvet5dmrgovjawpwce-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Several Republican leaders have condemned Gardner’s investigation, including President Donald Trump, Missouri Gov. Mike Parson and Sen. Josh Hawley, who has urged Attorney General William Barr to undertake a civil rights investigation of Gardner. Parson said in a radio interview Friday that he would likely pardon the couple if they were charged and convicted. Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt said in a statement Monday that he filed a brief requesting that the charges be dismissed under the state’s Castle Doctrine. “The right to keep and bear arms is given the highest level of protection in our constitution and our laws, including the Castle Doctrine,” Schmitt said in the statement. “This provides broad rights to Missourians who are protecting their property and lives from those who wish to do them harm.” Sen. Josh Hawley, R-MO, said on Twitter that the charges were an “unacceptable abuse of power and threat to the Second Amendment.” He called for a federal civil rights investigation into the St. Louis Circuit Attorney’s Office to “determine whether this investigation and impending prosecution violates this family’s constitutional rights.” Gardner said Trump, Parson and others are attacking her to distract from “their failed approach to the COVID-19 pandemic” and other issues.)
— DIERSEN HEADLINE: Ever-increasingly, hate-filled Trump-haters promote hatred against individuals, organizations, companies, governments, and countries that are law enforcement officers, Trump supporters, conservative, patriotic, Republican, American, 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.

— Fast food, health care workers march through Loop to demand companies show that ‘frontline workers’ lives matter’ “Most people who work in fast food restaurants are Black or brown. And let’s be honest, they have been working this whole pandemic,” said Ash Girtley, one of the rally organizers. – Elvia Malagón (DIERSEN: Have you been a fast food worker? I washed dishes for the minimum wage in the basement of the S.S. Kresges in Chicago Heights part-time during my junior and senior years at Crete-Monee High School and full-time during the summer in between. With the money that I earned, I a bought a new 1966 Pontiac Tempest Sprint in May of 1966 to commute to classes at UIC from my parents’ home in Crete.)

— The Real White Fragility Does the white upper class feel exhausted and oppressed by meritocracy? – Ross Douthat (DIERSEN: If you are a White male, have you had to pay the price of Affirmative Action (AA), Diversity, or Inclusion? I should write a book about White males a) who have not had to pay the price of AA, Diversity, or Inclusion and b) who serve as operatives or as dupes for those who promote AA, Diversity, or Inclusion. I would focus on those who had/have wealthy parents. I would focus on those who have never worked for Democrats.)

— Unemployed Should ‘Find Something New,’ Urge Heirs to Fred Trump’s Fortune – Jonathan Chait (DIERSEN: Should everyone be required to disclose how much education, money, and power that their parents have/had? Neither of my outstanding parents attended college. My father was the first of his ancestors to earn a high school diploma. My mother never attended high school. My father fought type 1 diabetes from age 14, he worked in the office of a nasty chemical plant in Chicago Heights, he almost always worked second jobs to pay the family’s bills, he did not buy a new car until he was 45 in 1967 and it was a bottom of the line 2-door Chevy, and he died suddenly of heart failure in 1969 when I was 21 years old.)
