NEW YORK TIMES
— New York Is Ousting Older Judges to Save Money. They’re Fighting Back. Dozens of judges are being forced to retire to close a pandemic budget gap. They have sued New York State, charging age discrimination. – Benjamin Weiser (DIERSEN: My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have always promoted political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination. They have always wanted the federal government to get rid of its employees who are Republican, White, male, and/or non-veteran who did not make 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 federal employees make the aforesaid promotion deadlines. Further, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes want to oust conservative White male Republicans who are over 40 years old. In 1997, when I was 49 years old, they ousted me as a GAO employee. In 2004, when I was 56 years old, they ousted me as a Milton Township Republican Organization (MTRO) webmaster and American Association of Political Consultants Midwest Chapter board member. In 2007, when I was 59 years old, they ousted me as an Illinois Center Right Coalition Steering Committee member. In 2010, when I was 62 years old, they again ousted me as a MTRO webmaster.

— How to Manage Performance Evaluations in the Work-From-Home Era – Julie Wees (DIERSEN: Government is nasty. Politics is nasty. My Democrat GAO superiors never alleged that performance problems justified the following adverse actions that they took against me: forcing me to retire in 1997 when I was 49 years old, not promoting me beyond GS-13, getting rid of my mentor in 1987, 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 a $20,157 (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980. In Diersen v. GAO, I entered into the court record all the performance appraisals that GAO gave me 1980-1997.)

I would focus on present/past members of the Milton Township Republican Organization, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, Illinois Republican Party, TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois, Wheaton Chamber of Commerce, Illinois Center Right Coalition, and American Association of Political Consultants Midwest Chapter. I would focus on present/past officials and employees of Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois. I would focus on present/past Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct, their political consultants, their major donors, their campaign managers, their campaign staff members, and their campaign volunteers.

— Increasing Performance Value in Reduction-in-Force (RIF) – Ralph R. Smith (DIERSEN: To deal with Republican-led budget cuts during the 1980s and 1990s, the Democrats who ran GAO got 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 made the aforesaid promotion deadlines. Further, to keep GAO employees who were liberal/moderate, poor, LGBTQ, non-married, non-Christian, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or those whose ancestors have not been in America for a long time, the Democrats who ran GAO got rid of their employees who were conservative, non-poor, heterosexual, married, Christian, Protestant, German American, and/or those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time.)
https://www.fedsmith.com/2020/12/20/increasing-performance-value-in-reduction-in-force-rif/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The proposed regulations alter existing regulations regarding RIF procedures by modifying the order of retention, increasing the value of performance, and reducing the value of an employee’s length of service. This ranking procedure determines which employees will be retained—and which ones will not be retained—when an agency implements a RIF. Current RIF regulations place an employee’s performance as the last factor to consider when listing which employees will remain and which ones will go. The initial factors to consider in a RIF under current regulations are the “tenure of employment” followed by veterans preference and length of an employee’s federal service.)

— Shipping delays mounting as USPS struggles with ‘historic’ holiday volume. – LAUREN ZUMBACH (DIERSEN: Because of complaints about slow delivery of Christmas mail in 1965, the Democrats who ran the Post Office got a budget increase that resulted in the Democrats who ran the Park Forest Post Office hiring me in November of 1966. 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 took classes in downtown Chicago 1972-1980 and 1992-1997 and my wife took classes in the Loop 1978-1986. In 1984, we paid a big premium for the lot that we had our built on in Wheaton because we could walk to/from the Wheaton train station. In 1978 we paid a big premium for a home in Wheaton because we could walk to/from the College Avenue train station. In 1974 and 1976, I paid premiums for condos in downtown Chicago because I could walk to/from work and classes. In 1972, I bought a new town home in University Park in part because it was a relatively easy commute to my job in Harvey.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: In essence, the EEOC said employers can require that employees get inoculated as a condition of going to work, unless an employee declines because of a disability or a sincerely held religious belief. In such cases, the employer must offer a reasonable accommodation to the employee, such as working remotely, as long as the accommodation doesn’t cause “undue hardship” for the employer. If there is no accommodation possible, then an employer may prohibit the employee from entering the premises but not necessarily fire the worker. The employer must see if the employee has any other rights under federal or local laws, including the ability to take unpaid leave under the Family and Medical Leave Act. Under the Americans with Disabilities Act, before an employer can exclude a worker from the physical worksite, the employer must determine if the unvaccinated employee presents a significant risk in harm to health or safety that cannot be eliminated or reduced through reasonable accommodations.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Other Republican lawmakers still hope to contest the results at a joint session of Congress on Jan. 6, when federal law requires Congress to count and certify the results of each state’s electoral vote. Rep. Mo Brooks (R., Ala.) said he would press ahead with a plan to object to votes in multiple states. It takes one member of the House and one senator to formally object and force votes in both chambers. Majorities in the House and Senate have to agree for the challenge to be successful, an extremely unlikely prospect given that Democrats control the House, but the effort could set the stage for a final public fight over the tally. I can either fight for honest and accurate elections, or I can join the surrender caucus,” Mr. Brooks said in an interview on Tuesday. “I prefer to fight for honest and fair and accurate elections that are the underpinning of any republic.”)

GAO, GAO constructively argued that I was a policy maker, and therefore, that GAO could terminate me because I opposed GAO’s policies of political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, retaliation, and up-or-out.

https://www.shrm.org/resourcesandtools/legal-and-compliance/employment-law/pages/court-report-no-qualified-immunity-for-terminations-due-to-political-affiliation.aspx
(FROM THE ARTICLE: According to the allegations in the complaint, only the township assessor and the chief deputy assessors had the authority and responsibility to make or provide input into policy decisions. The plaintiffs alleged that they merely applied computer programs and fulfilled technical requirements in performing their job duties of assessing property, thereby exercising, at most, professional discretion. In reviewing the applicable state law and a prior court decision, there was no legal basis for concluding that the plaintiffs had a legal obligation or right to make policy. The appellate court determined that the law was well-established within the 7th Circuit that public servants employed in non-policymaking positions cannot be subjected to termination or other adverse employment actions based on their political affiliation. . .Professional Pointer: While the defendant will have an opportunity to avoid trial by presenting sufficient evidence that the deputy assessor plaintiffs were in fact involved in policymaking, this decision highlights the limitations on termination of government employees due to political interests. Although elected officials are, to some degree, represented by their subordinate employees and may worry that their image and effectiveness could be undermined by employees who prefer a different candidate or political party, termination of such employees must be based on job performance or other factors unrelated to politics. Generally, only those who are intimately involved in making policy can be required to be politically aligned with the elected official.)

— FROM THE ARTICLE: “Amid all this, Madigan issued a statement pointing to the recent revelation that Durkin also wanted to see an ally get a ComEd job. “If Jim Durkin actually believes it is conduct unbecoming of a legislator to recommend people for jobs or help constituents, he might want to review his own hypocritical behavior. Rather than finger-pointing, I suggest we focus on the important work that lies ahead of us,” Madigan said.” (DIERSEN: All my critics/opponents, all their operatives, and all their dupes have always promoted patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and 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 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.)

— Trump loyalist Michael Pack plots final purge at federal media agency before Biden takes office – Brian Schwartz (DIERSEN: I worked for GAO in its Chicago office 1980-1997. The Democrats who ran GAO 1980-1997 always made it clear to those who ran GAO’s Chicago office 1980-1997 which GAO Chicago office employees they wanted to get rid of. Those employees 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. The following frustrated efforts by the Democrats who ran GAO and its Chicago Office 1980-1997 to waste my career and to get rid of me: I earned a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980. I passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt and became a licensed CPA in 1981. I became a Certified Fraud Examiner in 1990, Certified Government Financial Manager in 1994, Certified Financial Services Auditor in 1996, and Forensic Accountant in 1997. I earned a master’s degree in financial markets and trading from IIT in 1997.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: There were 274 journalists in jail on Dec. 1—the most since the Committee to Project Journalists began its troubling annual census in 1992. The New York-based advocacy group said that in 2020, authoritarian governments took advantage both of the global pandemic and of the example provided by President Donald Trump, whose assault on an independent press and labeling of unwelcome facts as “fake news” reversed a long U.S. legacy of promoting free expression abroad. “The record number of journalists imprisoned around the world is President Trump’s press freedom legacy,” CPJ executive director Joel Simon said in a statement. The group called on President-elect Joesph Biden to “work as part of a global coalition to bring the number down.”)

— MARCH 3, 2016 FLASHBACK: Storage Units, Now With Space to Cook, Relax and Entertain Traditional industrial park-style storage facilities are giving way to customized spaces with kitchens, reclaimed wood and stylish seating areas. – Candace Jackson (DIERSEN: I am in the process of buying the 20X40 unit that served as Mr. Garrison’s indoor basketball court.)
https://www.wsj.com/articles/storage-units-now-with-space-to-cook-relax-and-entertain-1457026958
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Shane Garrison, a 46-year-old executive at a commercial real-estate company, purchased a 3,000-square-foot storage unit in Iron Gate Motor Condos in Naperville, Ill., last May, spending roughly $400,000 to buy and build out the three-story space. He added an indoor basketball court, kitchen, car lift, two bathrooms and arcade games. Mr. Garrison also worked with an architect to design his place with a 30-foot-high reclaimed barn wood wall, polished concrete floors and an iron staircase. There is even a deck for outdoor grilling. The idea was to build a place where his wife and their 7-year-old and 5-year-old children could hang out with him while he tinkered with his​cars, a diverse collection he rotates through the space that includes a 1978 Porsche 930 and a Chevrolet Chevelle. “If you’re a car guy, you’d like somewhere to put them, and then you think about that and your family,” he says. “You don’t want it to be binary where you’re just there and the kids are at home.” For others, it’s more about creating the ultimate man cave. “While everyone checks their egos at the door, these guys really one up each other as far as finishing out their man caves,” says Mark Karolich, a Naperville, Ill. accountant who keeps four of his Porsches in his Iron Gate unit. Purchased for $134,000 and finished for another $50,000 to $60,000, it includes a reclaimed wood wall, a mural of the Breckenridge Gate, a kitchenette and a stone-tile bathroom. Tom Burgess, the developer of Iron Gate, says he opened the facility in 2014 and is currently constructing the fifth of 12 planned buildings. Prices for raw spaces start at $129,000, and go up to about $450,000.)
