— Major League Baseball removes ‘diversity’ references from MLB Careers home page. Baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred had launched a Diversity Pipeline Program in 2016. Democrats and RINOs use diversity to get of Republicans. To promote diversity is to discriminate against those who are conservative, Republican, White, male, older, married, non-poor, non-veteran, Protestant, German American, and/or have ancestors who have been in America for a long time.

GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— What are the biggest differences between the Democrat and Republican Parties? The Democrat Party requires its leaders to defend and advance all the planks its platform. The Republican Party not only does not do that, it lets it leaders who reject planks in the Republican Party platform destroy those Republicans who support those planks. The more planks in the Republican Party platform that you reject, the more of a RINO that you are. I should write about those RINO leaders of the following who reject the most planks: Milton Township Republican Organization, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Illinois Republican Party (IRP). Most commonly, they reject the personal responsibility, traditional marriage and family, right to life, immigration, illegal drugs, Second Amendment, and equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) planks. I would focus on those RINO leaders who have had their operatives and dupes take the most/biggest adverse actions against me lately including a) ending my membership in the IRP State Convention Platform and Resolutions Committee last year and b) ending my service as the Republican fundraiser for Wheaton Independence Day parades and fireworks in 2021. – Dave Diersen

— Political parties exist to help elect candidates who can and will defend and advance their platform. Which planks in the Republican Party platform do you support? Ever-increasingly, the more planks in the Republican Party platform that you support, the more that Democrats and RINOs do to destroy you. I support all the planks in the Republican Party platform, including its personal responsibility, traditional marriage and family, right to life, immigration, illegal drugs, Second Amendment, and equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) planks. RINOs reject some, many, most, virtually all, if not all the planks in the Republican Party platform. Because I support the aforesaid planks, the following have taken many big adverse actions against me since 2000: past and present a) RINO leaders of the Milton Township Republican Organization, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Illinois Republican Party (IRP), b) RINO leaders of Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois, and c) RINO conservative and religious leaders and activists. I should write about the aforesaid RINOs. I would focus on the aforesaid RINOs who had their operatives and dupes a) end my membership in the IRP State Convention Platform and Resolutions Committee last year and b) end my service as the Republican fundraiser for Wheaton Independence Day parades and fireworks in 2021. – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com
— Republicans should be advised that Democrat and RINO employers use up-or-out to not hire Republicans and to get rid of their Republicans employees. The Democrats who run the federal government use use-or-out to get rid of their Republican employees who they did not promote to GS-13 ($117,807/year) by age 25, GS-14 ($139,211/year) by age 30, GS-15 ($163,749/year) by age 35, and Senior Executive Service ($195,200/year) by age 40. Extremely few federal employees make the aforesaid promotion deadlines. My Democrat superiors in the federal government never promoted me beyond GS-13 and did not promote me to GS-13 until I was 38. They would never have promoted me to GS-13 if I had not a) earned job-related master’s degrees when I was 27 and 31, b) earned job-related professional licenses when I was 30 and 32, and c) earned a job-related professional license when I was 32. – Dave Diersen

— QUESTION: What encourages people to come to America? ANSWER: Democrat and RINO leaders ever-increasingly give more preference to citizens of foreign countries a) who are minority, female, younger, b) who lack education and/or job skills, and/or c) who want/need/demand massive government assistance. Democrat leaders want the aforesaid because they vote for Democrats. RINO leaders want the aforesaid because RINOs want cheap labor. – Dave Diersen

NATIONAL LAW REVIEW
— Political Affiliation Discrimination: Know Your Rights  Anticipate/expect that Democrat and RINO employers will ever-increasingly a) not hire Republicans and b) get rid of their Republican employees. Democrat employers hire Democrats. RINO employers hire RINOs. The federal government is a Democrat employer.
https://natlawreview.com/article/political-affiliation-discrimination-know-your-rights
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The increased interest in this topic comes amid a highly charged political environment and the decision by the Trump Administration to terminate the employment of civil service employees across a wide array of government agencies. Additionally, many employees are unclear about their rights and obligations as their employers are retreating from commitments to corporate diversity, equity, and inclusion programs in response to the Administration’s aggressive efforts to eradicate DEI initiatives. These actions have left many employees in a state of confusion regarding their rights around these issues. Legal protections for discrimination based on political affiliation vary widely based on state law. Below is a broad overview of employment protections across the United States, but as these can vary even by local jurisdiction, contacting an employment attorney with specific questions about your legal protections may be the best course of action. . .There are currently no federal protections for private sector employees from workplace discrimination based solely on political affiliation. If you are a federal employee and you believe that you have been discriminated against because of your political affiliation, you may be entitled to some protections under the Civil Service Reform Act of 1978 (CRSA). Learn more on KBK’s political affiliation discrimination practice as it relates to federal workers here. If you are a federal employee looking for legal support services regarding recent federal government layoffs, see KBK’s Federal Employment Resources page here.)

WALL STREET JOURNAL
— Why Many Americans Are On Board With Federal Worker Firings. Some envision bloat and cushy jobs. ‘Let ’em go; get rid of them.’ Who do you know who is/was a federal employee? I was a federal employee for almost 30 years. Who do you know who is/was a federal retiree? I have been a federal retiree for more than 27 years. I should write about my critics/opponents who say that they are religious, conservative, and/or Republican and who despise/hate federal employees and federal retirees the most. I would focus on those who have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me. I would not have become a postal employee in 1966 if my high school friend had not asked me to join him in taking the postal employment examination. I would not have become an IRS employee in 1971 if Oldsmobile had not withdrawn a job offer that I had accepted saying that it had just agreed to stop hiring Whites to settle an EEOC complaint.

— Overcoming Ageism at Any Career Stage. Democrat and RINO employers use up-or-out, that is, age discrimination, to waste the careers of their Republican employees and to get rid of them. To fight that, a) I earned an MBA when I was 27, a master’s degree in accounting when I was 31, and a master’s degree in finance when I was 48, b) I passed the CPA and Certified Internal Auditor examinations on my first attempt when I was 30 and 32, c) I became a licensed CPA when I was 32, and d) I earned additional job-related professional licenses when I was 41, 45, 47, and 48. The Democrats who run the federal government use up-or-out to get rid of their Republican employees who they do not promote to GS-13 ($117,807/year) by age 25, GS-14 ($139,211/year) by age 30, GS-15 ($163,749/year) by age 35, and Senior Executive Service ($195,200/year) by age 40.
