— The rise of the pro-choice cheerleaders – Heather Wilhelm (DIERSEN: Overwhelmingly, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have promoted abortion.)

— How to help your adult child leave the nest and succeed – Christina DesMarais (DIERSEN: How old were you when you left the nest and what helped you do that? I left the nest in 1972 when I was 24 years old and bought a new town home in University Park. I might not have been able to do that a) if I had not earned a bachelor’s degree in management from NIU in 1970, b) if Firestone Stores had not hired me in 1970, c) if my financial hardship draft deferment application had been denied, d) if IRS had not hired me in 1971, e) if I had not continued to work for Firestone part-time, and f) if IRS had not promoted me in 1972.)
http://www.chicagotribune.com/business/success/inc/tca-how-to-help-your-adult-child-leave-the-nest-and-succeed-20180709-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Being a fledgling adult is harder in some ways than it used to be. Two years ago, the Pew Research Center reported that, for the first time in 130 years, adults ages 18 to 34 were more likely to live with parents than with a spouse or romantic partner in their own home. And those who don’t go to college face a bleak future. Americans with no more than a high school diploma have fallen so far behind college graduates that the earnings gap between college grads and everyone else has reached its widest point on record, CBS News reported last year. At the same time, rent has increased 64 percent from 1960 to 2014, while household incomes have only increased 18 percent.)
— HARDCOPY ARTICLE TITLE: Don’t miss the chance to secure your future – Terry Savage (DIERSEN: Since we got married in 1978, my wife and I have always saved as much as we could for our retirement. According to my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes, the only reasons why we were able to do that were a) I avoided the draft, b) the federal government grossly overpaid me, c) my wife has always had good jobs, d) we gave up trying to have children, we did not adopt, and we did not become foster parents, and e) my retirement benefits are much too generous. Overwhelmingly, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have spent far more money on “immediate pleasures” than my wife and I have.)
http://www.chicagotribune.com/business/success/terrysavage/tca-yes-you-can-find-a-little-money-to-invest-20180710-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Twenty years ago, the Roth IRA was born as a product of the Taxpayer Relief Act of 1997. Unlike with traditional IRAs, you don’t get a tax deduction for your contribution to a Roth IRA. But all the money in the account, including gains, can be withdrawn tax-free at retirement. If only you had jumped in to a Roth IRA at the beginning, you would have a small tax-free fortune today. . .Now, the only question is where you will find the money to invest over the next 20 years. In hindsight, you can certainly see the opportunities that you missed in the past. Was that vacation worth the high pricetag, or would it have been better to invest in a Roth IRA? That closet of outdated clothes? The handbag that you simply had to have? All consumed your future.)
— DIERSEN HEADLINE: QUESTION: What do Democrats view as being “progress?” ANSWER: More dependency on government, more dependency on charity, more LGBTQ activity, more abortion, more mass/illegal immigration, more erosion of First and Second Amendment rights, more booze, gambling, pot, and other vices, more patronage, more political affiliation discrimination, more reverse discrimination, more age discrimination, and more of even worse things.)

— Employers are finally ready to talk about how much they pay – Rebecca Greenfield (DIERSEN: If I had not been denied my 7th Amendment rights in Diersen v. GAO, I would have presented a jury with many examples in which GAO paid its female employees who had less job-related work experience than I had, less job-related education than I had, fewer or no professional certifications, and/or no professional licenses higher salaries than GAO paid me. I worked for IRS 1971-1980 and for GAO 1980-1997. I earned a) a job-related bachelor’s degree when I was 21 in 1970 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.)
http://www.dailyherald.com/business/20180715/employers-are-finally-ready-to-talk-about-how-much-they-pay
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Until recently, none of the 170 employees working at Verve, a marketing company, knew what anyone else made. Now, everyone’s salary is listed on an internal document for everyone to see. By 2019, all 1,100 employees at CareHere, a Nashville based health-care company, will know the pay ranges for all positions in the company. Fog Creek, a New York-based software company with about three dozen employees, did the same last year. As did Hired, an online job search network in San Francisco that employs 200 people. Employers have long discouraged talking about money at work, in part because obscuring salary information keeps compensation costs down. But that attitude is starting to change. In a survey of almost 2,000 employers by the consulting firm Willis Towers Watson, more than half of the respondents said they plan to increase transparency around pay decisions in the next year. Pay transparency can mean a lot of things. A minority of companies are taking the most extreme approach, where everyone knows what everyone else makes. A larger share of companies are letting employees in on the voodoo behind their pay practices and explaining what goes into compensation decisions. Others are revealing pay ranges for positions and posting that information alongside job listings.)

PRAIRIE STATE WIRE
— ‘It’s nonsense’: PR firm owned by state rep’s wife dubbed ‘disadvantaged’ to win giant government contracts – W.J. Kennedy (DIERSEN: Are you disadvantaged? My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have always hinted/implied/argued/shouted a) that instead of me, the Post Office should have hired a disadvantaged person in 1966, b) that the Post Office should gotten rid of me much sooner than it did so that a disadvantaged person could have my job, c) that instead of me, IRS should have hired a disadvantaged person in 1971, d) that instead of me, IRS should have promoted disadvantaged people in 1972, 1973, and 1974, e) that instead of me, GAO should have hired a disadvantaged person in 1980, f) that instead of me, GAO should have promoted a disadvantaged person in 1986, and g) that GAO should have gotten rid of me much sooner than it did so that disadvantaged person could have my job and my preferred corner office.)
https://prairiestatewire.com/stories/511487084-it-s-nonsense-pr-firm-owned-by-state-rep-s-wife-dubbed-disadvantaged-to-win-giant-government-contracts
(FROM THE ARTICLE: “Under DBE, any firm owned by a woman or minority is automatically presumed to have faced discrimination,” Wally Zimolong, of Philadelphia’s Zimolong LLC, told Prairie State Wire. “It’s nonsense. You can have a woman or minority from a wealthy family, attending the best schools in the country, yet they are still considered a discriminated party.” Or you can be politically well-connected. Kim Morreale is married to state Rep. Michael McAuliffe, Chicago’s only Republican representative. During McAuliffe’s 21 years in office, Morreale went from being a reporter and news anchor in Rockford to obtaining a director position with the Illinois Department of Transportation under then-Gov. Rod Blagojevich. The tollway’s board of directors is appointed by Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner. Morreale’s contract with the tollway wasn’t competitively bid. Instead, proposals were vetted and ranked by a committee of tollway executives and an engineering professor, according to the Daily Herald report. Moreover, her client list includes Pace and the City of Chicago, who along with METRA, Chicago Transit Authority and the tollway established a one-stop certification process for DBEs.)

NEW YORK TIMES
— F.B.I. Confidence in Leadership Fell in Year After Comey’s Firing – Matt Apuzzo (DIERSEN: While I worked for GAO 1980-1997, its employees who were Democrat, and especially those who were minority, female, younger, and/or veteran, became increasingly confident and happy that GAO’s Democrat leaders would get rid of the agency’s employees who were Republican, and especially those who were White, male, older, and/or non-veteran.)

WASHINGTON POST
— Downgrading retirees to meet ratings quotas can lead to problems – Karla L. Miller (DIERSEN: In 1989, to help GAO get rid of its employees who were Republican, White, male, and/or non-veteran who had not made GS-13 (currently $96,403) by age 25, GS-14 (currently $113,920) by age 30, GS-15 (currently $134,000) by age 35, and Senior Executive Service (currently $164,200) by age 40, the Democrats who ran GAO instituted their pay-for-performance (PFP) system. Of course, to get rid of me, they always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for PFP purposes.)
https://www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/magazine/work-advice-downgrading-retirees-to-meet-ratings-quotas-can-lead-to-problems/2018/07/10/a117edb2-6516-11e8-a69c-b944de66d9e7_story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Reader: At the end of every year, my company conducts management reviews, assigning a rating of 1 (unacceptable) to 5 (outstanding) to everyone who was an employee during the year, whether or not they’re still at the company. The performance rating system requires a fixed distribution of workers – a certain percentage at each level every year. While finding workers deserving a “1” rating was relatively easy at first, over time it became a problem to assign “unacceptable” to workers who are perfectly acceptable. To meet the fixed distribution goal, management’s solution has been to assign “1” to workers who retired during the year, regardless of their performance. The retirees won’t see the “1” rating, but they also won’t receive the prorated annual bonus they would otherwise receive for the time they worked in their last year. This seems unethical. What do you think?)

BUSINESS INSIDER
— I retired at 52 with a $3 million net worth — here’s what a week of my spending looks like (DIERSEN: My Democrat GAO superiors’ argument that they did not force me to take their early retirement offer in 1997 when I was 49 years old is absurdly false on its face. In today’s dollars, my GAO salary was $125,325/year, but my Civil Service Retirement System (CSRS) pension is $73,461/year less than that, or only $51,864/year. My CSRS pension is only 41% of my GAO salary in today’s dollars.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: The western Chicago suburb of Forest Park became the fifth Illinois community since early last year to suffer a multi-level rating cut from Moody’s Investors Service with pension strains cited a key factor. Moody’s (MCO) dropped the village just west of Chicago three levels to Baa1 from A1. The downgrade earlier this month affects about $7.2 million of outstanding debt. The outlook remains negative. The downgrade “is based on the village’s weakened reserve position, structurally imbalanced operations and a high and growing pension burden.” The village of about 14,000 residents has limited ability to raise local revenues and is dependent on uncertain state revenue sources. In its favor is a growing tax base and modest debt burden. “The negative outlook reflects ongoing operating deficits,” Moody’s (MCO) said. “The village’s pension contributions are also very weak relative to plan funding, pointing to further growth in its unfunded liabilities.”)

DAILY HERALD
— Northrop Grumman CEO will step down – Christian Davenport and Aaron (DIERSEN: My Democrat GAO superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates were fully aware of and completely disgusted with my attending a rally for Bob Dole in Wheaton on July 4, 1996.) SEE: http://capitalfax.blogspot.com/2008/07/gopusa-illinois-daily-clips-july-6-2008.html)
http://www.dailyherald.com/business/20180713/northrop-grumman-ceo-will-step-down
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The move comes just days after reports surfaced that the company employed a member of a white supremacist organization who participated in a violent rally in Charlottesville last summer. The employee, identified as Michael Miselis by ProPublica and “Frontline,” no longer is employed by the company. But Northrop was slow to respond to the allegations, and the news organizations also reported that he had remained employed even after his superiors had been informed of his actions. In an email to company employees at the time, Bush said that Northrop “would take the appropriate actions to make sure that our foundation remains strong well into the future.” Asked whether the Miselis’ alleged affiliation with a white supremacist group played a role in Bush’s decision to resign, Northrop’s Paynter said “absolutely not.”)

I should write a book about them. One of my most ferocious critics in Wheaton is a close relative of my GAO superior who in 1989 succeeded in a) throwing me off audits of IRS, b) giving me an adverse job assignment, and c) getting my supervisor to give me unfair performance expectations and an unfair performance appraisal. His efforts to get rid of me were so strong and so successful that I sought help from Henry Hyde.)

https://www.newsmax.com/newsfront/california-city-basic-income-500-cash-handouts/2018/07/10/id/870887/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A city in California that was once plagued with mortgage foreclosures will soon begin distributing $500 per month to 100 of its residents for an 18-month universal basic income program. Situated less than 100 miles east of the wealthy Silicon Valley, Stockton’s median household income is $49,271 — lower than the national average of $57,617. The basic income experiment is slated to begin in 2019.)

INDEPENDENT JOURNAL REVIEW
— Left-Wing Judge Eliminates Work Requirements for Welfare Programs – ANDREW FORCIER (DIERSEN: Of course, my critics/opponents paint my Civil Service Retirement System (CSRS) pension and my Social Security as being welfare. They would love it if they could require me to work to continue to get my CSRS pension and my Social Security. They would stress my being able to put GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails together and send them out every day as proof that I am able-bodied. What type of work would they want me to do? Would it be appropriate for someone with my work experience, education, professional certifications, and professional license?)
https://ijr.com/2018/07/1108510-judge-eliminates-medicaid-work-requirement/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: One of the most commonly agreed-upon approaches to welfare programs is to require an able-bodied person to work when they can, or at least put forth the effort to demonstrate they are in pursuit of gainful employment. Twenty years ago, the idea was so universally accepted that even then-President Bill Clinton signed off on legislation adding an element of personal responsibility to welfare programs. He even had campaigned in 1992 to “end welfare as we have come to know it.” Such requirements have, of late, been a staple of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, and even a majority of Democrats can agree that those who are able to work should have to in order to receive benefits.)

 

CNBC
— Here’s how much Supreme Court justices get paid – Yoni Blumberg
https://www.cnbc.com/2018/07/10/how-much-supreme-court-justices-get-paid.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: President Donald Trump nominated Judge Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court on Monday. If confirmed, Kavanaugh, 53, will become one of the most powerful and influential people in government for what could be decades, and he’ll lock in a healthy six-figure salary, too. Kavanaugh currently serves on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit, where judges make $220,600 a year, according to the U.S. Courts website. Associate justices on the Supreme Court make $255,300, while the Chief Justice, currently John Roberts, makes $267,000. These salaries usually increase by $2,000-$3,000 each year. A seat on the court comes with some desirable benefits. Federal judges have the option to enroll in insurance plans through the Federal Employee Health Benefits system, whose website claims it offers “the widest selection of health plans in the country.” And justices can look forward to a generous retirement package. If they retire at 70 after serving 10 years, or at 65 after serving 15 years, they qualify for an annual pension equal to their highest full salary. There is also a summer break when court isn’t in session between July and October. It’s not exactly a vacation, as justices use the summer to prepare for cases scheduled for the fall, but it is when they do most of their traveling, much of which is subsidized, and when they lecture and teach for extra pay. Former justice Antonin Scalia reported going on 28 separate trips to lecture and teach in 2013, and Clarence Thomas earned more than $27,000 in 2015 for lectures at Brigham Young University, Creighton University and George Washington University. Justices have other streams of income, too. Stephen Breyer, for example, reported $45,000 in royalties in 2016 from his book, “The Court and the World,” while Sonia Sotomayor has earned millions for her 2013 memoir, “My Beloved World.” And, of course, some justices invest. When the Supreme Court took a patent case involving Cisco in 2015, Breyer had to sit out because he owns up to $100,000 in Cisco stock. At least six, and perhaps all, of the sitting Supreme Court justices are millionaires, the Center for Public Integrity found after analyzing 2016 financial disclosures. With an estimated net worth just over $6 million, Breyer is the wealthiest justice, with the possible exception of Gorsuch, since when the report was published Gorsuch had yet to disclose his finances for that year. His 2015 disclosure, however, indicated he was worth between $3.1 million and $7.2 million, the Center reported. Kavanaugh claimed to have up to $65,000 in assets, which doesn’t necessarily include items such as cars or mortgages, in a recent financial filing, as well $27,500 in non-investment income on top of his salary, reports Money. The house he shares with his wife and two daughters is valued at $1 million.)

 

WASHINGTON POST
— Seven Americans on patriotism, protest and the president – Jenna Johnson (DIERSEN: My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes remain furious that because sought and obtained student draft deferments 1966-1970 and a financial hardship draft deferment 1970-1971, I got almost 3 years of full-time Civil Service Retirement System (CSRS) credit when I paid CSRS in the 1990s 7% of the salary that I had earned 1966-1969 working part-time for the Park Forest Post Office. That meant that I got both Social Security credit and CSRS credit for those almost 3 years. My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have always hinted/implied/argued/shouted that I SHOULD HAVE BEEN IN VIETNAM instead of a) driving a new 1966 Pontiac Tempest Sprint 1966-1967, b) driving a new 1968 Oldsmobile 442 in 1968, c) driving a new 1969 Dodge Charger SE 1969-1971, d) driving a new 1972 Corvette since 1971, e) attending classes at UIC 1966-1968, f) attending classes at NIU 1969-1970, g) attending classes at Loyola 1972-1976, h) buying a new town home in 1972, i) buying a studio condo in the Outer Drive East building in 1974, j) buying a one bedroom condo in that building in 1976, k) going on vacations in Florida in 1969 and 1970, l) going on vacations in the Bahamas in 1971 and in Mexico, Jamaica, Hawaii, and the Bahamas 1973-1976, m) etc. Back then, Vietnam veterans were called “baby killers.” What is your comment on the aforesaid?)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Standing in the crowd was Jane Pettinger, a 57-year-old college professor holding a cardboard sign decorated with two flags and the words “TRUE PATRIOT.” “Serving your country rather than deferring the draft or being a draft dodger — that’s patriotism,” said Pettinger, who was in the U.S. Air Force for 7½ years and is critical of Trump for requesting draft deferments during the Vietnam War. “Standing up for democracy, making America actually what it stands for again — that’s democracy, that’s patriotism. Supporting a guy who simply wants to tear us down — that is not pro-USA, that is not patriotism.”)

https://businessrecord.com/Content/Opinion/Opinion/Article/Guest-Opinion-How-to-run-a-positive-political-campaign/168/963/83117
(FROM THE ARTICLE: What’s negative? Launching personal attacks on your opponent. That practice should have been left behind in junior high (or as it’s now called, middle school). Defining your opponent with derogatory labels and slogans. They are not informative and they insult the voters’ intelligence and sensibilities. Demonizing your opponent. This practice only demeans the one doing it. Taking words and phrases out of context and twisting their meanings. This practice should be beneath the dignity of honest candidates and parties. Manipulating your opponent’s visual image is a similar form of deceit.)

My ancestors have been in Illinois since 1844. What discourages you from celebrating the bicentennial? For me, it is Democrats who ever-increasingly hint/imply/argue/shout that if you are an old non-veteran White male Republican, the longer that your ancestors have been in America, a) the more that you have benefited from their discrimination against minorities and against women and b) the more that you should pay the price of Affirmative Action (AA), Diversity, and Inclusion. Democrats use AA, Diversity, and Inclusion to get rid of old non-veteran White male Republicans.)

WASHINGTON TIMES
— ‘Divisive’ label a badge of honor for today’s conservatives – Cheryl K. Chumley (DIERSEN: Who are the leading anti-Trumps in your municipality, in your township/ward, in your county, and in Illinois? Anti-Trumps focus on dividing members of Group A against members of Group B. Members of Group A are anti-Trump, anti-Protestant, anti-conservative, anti-patriotic, anti-Republican, anti-American, anti-White, anti-male, anti-older people, anti-rich people, anti-gun owners, anti-German Americans, and/or anti-those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time. Members of Group B are Trump supporters, Protestant, conservative, patriotic, Republican, American, White, male, older people, rich people, gun owners, German Americans, and/or those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time.)
https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2018/jul/7/divisive-label-badge-honor-todays-conservatives/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The left, whenever confronted with a hard truth about its vicious self, likes to run screaming for the exits, calling out conservatives for so-called “divisive” rhetoric and over-the-top partisanship that doesn’t advance discussion or lead to rational political solutions. But first off, you can’t light a fire and then gasp in shock when it burns. Democrats didn’t get their angry-bird buttons for nothing. And second off, being called “divisive,” for those of conservative ilk, anyway, should actually be regarded as a badge of honor these days. Why? The left has been busily dividing this country for decades, pushing those with regard for the Constitution and its limited-government provisions to the side with growing pressure, and clearing wide paths for progressive/socialist ideals with frenzied energy. The only difference nowadays is that those on the left are fielding a level of push-back they’ve not previously experienced. After all, it’s only been just recently that Republicans in office haven’t rolled over and played dead when confronted by Democratic agenda. Winning on the GOP front — can you say Hillary Clinton surprise? — is a fairly new situation, and one that both leftists and establishment types are still trying to come to grips with, it seems. So liberals, apparently frustrated by the fight, have taken with rising regularity to calling such push-back “divisive.” Their goal? Why, to get those doing the push-back to shut the heck up, of course. Case in point: Trump and the media.)

— GOP runs into Trump tax law in New Jersey – NAOMI JAGODA (DIERSEN: Roskam should increase the $10,000 SALT cap to $20,000 for married filing jointly.)
http://thehill.com/policy/finance/395891-gop-runs-into-trump-tax-law-in-new-jersey
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Democrats in New Jersey are hoping that President Trump’s tax-cut law provides them with a boost in the midterm elections. The law caps the state and local tax (SALT) deduction at $10,000, a change that hurts people in high-tax states such as New Jersey, which has the highest property taxes of any state. All but one New Jersey Republican voted against the tax law, in large part because of the limit on state and local tax deductions. Democrats on the campaign trail say restoring the full deduction means putting their party back in charge of the House.)

But during the September of 1997, they succeeded in forcing me to take their early retirement “offer” which expired on September 30, 1997.)

All my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes a) oppose Civil Service protections and b) promote patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation. However, were it not for 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.)

Roughly a month after the meeting, the FBI obtained a search warrant for the locker, seizing 30 years’ worth of financial documents that would become the backbone of the government’s current prosecution of Mr. Manafort in two different courtrooms.)

They stress that my GAO superiors forced me to retire in 1997 when I was 49 years old, gave me unfair performance expectations and appraisals, always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes, did not promote me beyond GS-13, got rid of my mentor in 1987, 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 $19,203 pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980. They stress that my IRS superiors did not promote me beyond GS-12, disallowed my education deductions in 1978, got rid of my mentor in 1975, and disallowed my partial day per diem claims in 1974. They stress that my Post Office superiors forced me resign in 1969 and disallowed my sick leave requests in 1969 and 1968.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: While the event led off with a large contingent of police vehicles and officers, followed by fire equipment, much more numerous were the legions of people marching in support of Republican candidates for state, local and national office. . .Gov. Bruce Rauner and attorney general candidate Erika Harrold were among the statewide candidates working the crowd in the sweltering heat, but the largest group of political marchers was backing U.S. Rep. Peter Roskam, who is in a tough reelection fight. The Republicans were followed by a small contingent of marchers supporting Democratic candidates.)

How often do they publish articles on their websites in support of the traditional family, right to life, immigration, and Second Amendment planks in the Illinois Republican Party platform? Who reads their articles? Who reads their emails?)
http://www.dailyherald.com/business/20180630/inside-facebook-and-twitters-secret-meetings-with-trump-aides-and-conservative-leaders
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Twitter and Facebook are scrambling to assuage conservative leaders who have sounded alarms — and sought to rile voters — with accusations that the country’s tech giants are censoring right-leaning posts, tweets and news. From secret dinners with conservative media elite to private meetings with the Republican National Committee, the new outreach reflects tech giants’ delicate task: satisfying a party in power while defending online platforms against attacks that threaten to undermine the public’s trust in the web. . . . To address the allegations, Dorsey has tried to break bread — quite literally — with his company’s critics. The Twitter executive convened a rare private dinner with Republican leaders and conservative commentators in Washington last week at Cafe Milano, a familiar Georgetown haunt for city power brokers, according to four people who participated in the dinner but requested anonymity because it was off the record. The gathering came weeks after Dorsey invoked conservatives’ ire by tweeting a story suggesting voters should elect Democrats in November — and after he made his first official visit to Congress. Among those attending the June 19 dinner were Mercedes Schlapp, a top communications adviser for Trump; Grover Norquist, the leader of Americans for Tax Reform; Greta Van Susteren, a right-leaning host on MSNBC; and Guy Benson, a Fox News commentator, according to the people in the room. Dorsey hoped to use the dinner as a way to build “trust” among conservatives who have long chastised the company, three of the people said. He defended Twitter against accusations that it targeted right-leaning users unfairly but still admitted that the company has room for improvement, according to the attendees. In response, the Twitter executive heard an earful from conservatives gathered at the table, who scoffed at the fact that Dorsey runs a platform that’s supposed to be neutral even though he’s tweeted about issues like immigration, gay rights and national politics. They also told Dorsey that the tech industry’s efforts to improve diversity — after years of criticism for maintaining a largely white, male workforce — should focus on hiring engineers with more diverse political viewpoints as well, according to those who dined with him in Washington. A spokesman for Twitter declined to comment on the dinner.)

— MARCH 6, 2018 FLASHBACK: How to Gain Power at Work When You Have None   Networking across your company, cultivating charisma and developing expertise in an emerging area are keys to success—and can be learned – Sue Shellenbarger (DIERSEN: My Democrat superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates at GAO 1980-1997 scoffed at my earning a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980, passing the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981, becoming a licensed CPA in 1981, serving on the Executive Committee of the Chicago Chapter of the Association of Government Accountants 1983-1996, becoming a Certified Fraud Examiner in 1990, becoming a Certified Government Financial Manager in 1994, becoming a Certified Financial Services Auditor in 1996, becoming a Forensic Accountant in 1997, and earning a master’s degree in financial markets and trading from IIT in 1997. My Democrat superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates at IRS 1971-1980 scoffed at my earning an MBA from Loyola in 1976, my taking graduate accounting courses at DePaul 1976-1980, and my passing the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979. My Democrat superiors, supervisors, and coworkers at the Park Forest Post Office 1966-1969 scoffed at my taking college courses at UIC 1966-1968 and at NIU in 1969. They would not have done that if I had been a Democrat, a minority, a female, or a veteran.)
