https://capitolfax.com/2020/03/13/uihlein-asks-when-we-can-go-back-to-our-normal-lives/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: From: Liz Uihlein. . .Subject: The Media is Overblowing COVID-19 Dear Members of the Illinois Legislature: There were 1,701 cases in the U.S. of which there were 41 deaths; whereas an overwhelming number of people have been infected with and died from the flu this season. While you may think the government enforced closing of events, schools, etc. is helping prevent the spread of this infection, you are impacting local, state and national economies and adding unnecessary panic and fear in the American people. What happens in 2 weeks? Are you willing to indefinitely close institutions? At what point do we go back to our normal lives? This has been a huge disruption. Sincerely, Liz Uihlein, President, Uline)

— Support for government accountability shouldn’t be a casualty of impeachment drama – NILMINI RUBIN AND ZACH GRAVES (DIERSEN: I should write a book about the Democrats who have run GAO since 1980. I would focus on how they wasted my GAO career and forced me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years old. I would focus on how they used Affirmative Action, Diversity, Inclusion, up-or-out, budgeting, work assignment policies, performance expectation setting policies, performance appraisal policies, promotion policies, etc. to get rid of their employees who were Republican, White, male, and/or non-veteran who they had not promoted to GS-13 (currently $101,176) by age 25, GS-14 (currently $119,559) by age 30, GS-15 (currently $140,634) by age 35, and Senior Executive Service (currently $170,800) by age 40. Extremely few GAO employees make the aforesaid promotion deadlines.)
https://thehill.com/opinion/finance/483147-support-for-government-accountability-shouldnt-be-a-casualty-of-impeachment
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The Government Accountability Office (GAO) usually works hard to avoid political controversy. But the agency’s recent legal decision vaulted the nonpartisan agency into the center of impeachment politics. The GAO asserted that the White House Office of Management and Budget (OMB) violated the law when it withheld millions in funding from the Department of Defense that Congress appropriated for security aid authorized by the Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative (USAI). In the wake of the GAO’s legal decision, conservatives should resist the temptation to dismiss the GAO as another creature of the swamp. In fact, Congress’s watchdog is one of taxpayers’ best tools for holding a dysfunctional government accountable while addressing the nation’s long-term governance challenges.)

— Trump bucks Barr’s request to stop tweeting about Justice Dept., declaring a ‘legal right’ to seek intervention in criminal cases – Matt Zapotosky and John Wagner (DIERSEN: My critics/opponents hint/imply/argue/shout that if my claims had merit, Republicans George Bush, Dennis Hastert, Peter Fitzgerald, and Henry Hyde would have intervened in Diersen v. GAO. GAO works for Congress. The Democrats who ran GAO wasted my career and forced me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years old. My critics/opponents stress a) that Bush was President while my lawsuit against GAO was pending, b) that Fitzgerald, was my U.S. Senator while the lawsuit was pending, c) that Bush and Fitzgerald appointed the judge in the lawsuit and the attorney who represented GAO, d) that Hastert was the Speaker of the House while the lawsuit was pending, and e) that Hyde was my U.S. Representative while the lawsuit was pending. My critics/opponents ignore Rutan v. Republican Party of Illinois and use the aforesaid to hint/imply/argue/shout that because Republican elected officials did not come to my defense, a) that my claims had no merit and b) that GAO wasted my career and got rid of me because I am a White supremacist, Nazi, KKK member, hater, racist, sexist, bigot, and even worse things. In my defense, I stress that Bush, Hastert, Fitzgerald, and Hyde did little or nothing a) to defend or advance the equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) plank in the Republican Party platform or b) to show that they opposed patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, or retaliation.)

https://www.wsj.com/articles/notable-quotable-twitters-political-ad-ban-11572908984
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Why does being a highly visible CEO mean one has “earned” more political influence than Walmart, the AFL-CIO, or any other entity that seeks to promote its political ideas? Dorsey spent his cash to start Twitter. They want to spend theirs to advertise on Twitter. How does this new policy “level the playing field?” . . .Twitter will ban not just candidate ads, but “issue ads,” because they “present a way to circumvent.” Does this mean that an ad promoting a documentary warning about (or dismissive of) climate change should be banned? How about an ad promoting a magazine profile of a candidate? Does a Gillette commercial lecturing men on the dangers of “toxic masculinity” qualify as an issue ad?)

And we know what’s happening,” Barrett said at a brief City Hall news conference. “Everybody knows what’s happening. It’s because the president is talking about it on a daily basis that people feel they have license to go after Hispanic people. And it’s wrong,” he said.)
