SPRINGFIELD STATE JOURNAL REGISTER
— Republicans complain about Pritzker trying to withdraw from patronage consent decree – Doug Finke (DIERSEN: All my critics/opponents, all their operatives, and all their dupes have always promoted patronage, promoted political affiliation discrimination, promoted reverse discrimination, promoted age discrimination, and promoted 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 promote patronage and political affiliation discrimination and 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.)
https://www.sj-r.com/news/20200817/republicans-complain-about-pritzker-trying-to-withdraw-from-patronage-consent-decree
(FROM THE ARTICLE: In a recent filing in federal court, the administration said offices under the governor should be allowed out of the decree. It said that during the 48 years the decree has been in effect there have been numerous changes to employment law, including the Rutan decision stemming from an Illinois case that said most government jobs should be free of political considerations when hiring, firing, promoting or transferring employees. An exception is made for policy-making jobs. The administration argued that there is now a comprehensive list of jobs that are covered by Rutan and those that are not. It said many other changes have been made and “the objective of the 1972 decree has been achieved.” Mazzochi said that is not the case. “The spirit of the Shakman decree is that our public jobs should not be used to coerce support for a political machine and the Pritzker administration has been sidestepping these decrees since he took office,” she said. “To claim as the governor has that Illinois has made patronage a thing of the past is to laugh in the face of facts.” She cited the special master brought in to monitor hiring at the Illinois Department of Transportation after it was discovered political appointees were put into jobs that were covered by the Rutan decision. The appointments were made during the tenures of former Govs. Pat Quinn and Rod Blagojevich. In February, the special master complained in a report that the Pritzker administration had taken steps to make it more difficult to monitor hiring practices at the agency.)

— The Rise of Partisan Fact-Checkers In today’s mainstream media, objectivity has been replaced by partisan advocacy. – Brian Mark Weber (DIERSEN: The mainstream news media is to the left of GAO. Of course, the mainstream news media would never offer me a job as a fact checker. While I worked for GAO 1980-1997, the last 11 years of which at GS-13 Step 1-10 levels, currently $101,176-$131,532/year, I increasingly worked as a referencer, that is, as a fact checker. That work required assuring the accuracy and support for each and every word, number, table, graph, chart, conclusion, opinion, and recommendation in GAO reports. I worked for IRS 1971-1980, the last 5 1/2 years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 levels, currently $85,084-$96,431/year. My other fact checking qualifications include my becoming a Forensic Accountant in 1997, Certified Fraud Examiner in 1990, licensed CPA in 1981, Certified Internal Auditor in 1981, and CPA in 1979.)

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/kamala-harris-vice-president-eligibility-birther-conspiracy-trump-campaign/

NEW YORK TIMES
— Trump falsely suggests Kamala Harris, who was born in California, does not meet citizenship requirements. (DIERSEN: I should write a book about those who have demonized, denigrated, and condemned my outstanding parents and how they raised me. My outstanding parents had me baptized as a Missouri Synod Lutheran (MSL) in 1948, raised me as a MSL, and had me confirmed as a MSL in 1962. They sent me to Trinity Lutheran Grade Scholl in Crete 1953-1961 and then to Hope Lutheran Grade School in Park Forest 1961-1962 to stay with MSL.)
https://www.nytimes.com/live/2020/08/13/us/biden-vs-trump
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Mr. Trump appeared to be referring to a widely discredited op-ed article written in Newsweek by John C. Eastman, a conservative lawyer who has long argued that the Constitution does not grant birthright citizenship, as proof. Ms. Harris, the daughter of Jamaican and Indian immigrants, was born in 1964 in Oakland, Calif., several years after her parents arrived in the United States. In the hours after Joseph R. Biden Jr. announced Ms. Harris as his running mate, a new crop of memes and conspiracy website posts began proliferating online, suggesting that the junior senator was an “anchor baby” because of her background. Mr. Eastman’s column tries to raise questions about the citizenship of Ms. Harris’s parents at the time of her birth, and argues that she may be “owed her allegiance to a foreign power or powers” if her parents were “temporary visitors” and not residents. Constitutional law scholars have argued that the argument against her parents is irrelevant and irresponsible because Ms. Harris was born in California.)

Hamilton (DIERSEN: Ever-increasingly, politicians shout at the following voters that they should vote for them because they will use government to give them preference: moderates, liberals, BLMers, LGBTQers, minorities, women, younger people, poor people, illegals, non-Christians, non-German Americans, and those whose ancestors have not been in America for a long time.

WATERTOWN DAILY TIMES
— Sen. Kamala Harris, the cancel culture cop – Scott Peterson
https://www.wdtimes.com/article_b23691dc-55c0-5187-ad0c-3c83d38d76b2.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Joe Biden would rather sate the appetites of his party’s culture warriors than unite a divided nation. That’s the central lesson from his choice of Sen. Kamala Harris as a running mate. Harris is a vindictive culture war cop whose political and prosecutorial career has been built upon punishing those she finds deplorable. Biden has just raised the stakes of the 2020 election and relinquished his claim to being a “safe pick.” Not in our lifetimes has a nominee’s running mate been so consequential. His choice matters, not only because he is very old and clearly in decline but also because he is running to be a placeholder president. Biden was nominated not for his virtues but for his lack of the politically deadly vices that beset his opponents in this year’s primary. It is shocking that he would pick such a divisive No. 2, whose unpopularity outside the core Democratic base is abundantly evident. Harris collapsed in the presidential polls almost the moment she stepped into the spotlight. Despite being amply funded, she went from tied for second place at 15% in mid-July 2019 to low single digits by September. Harris’ favorability is underwater among independents, with 33% unfavorable to 25% favorable, and during her presidential run, she was never above water. Harris is not the pick Biden would make if he were trying to maximize his chances of winning the election. This is baffling if you believe, as the cable networks and graying old editorial pages have screamed, that getting rid of President Donald Trump is of utmost importance for the survival of the republic. No, you pick Harris if you are beholden to your party’s woke culture warriors. The left has largely won the culture war, securing gay marriage, saving Roe v. Wade, and normalizing transgender ideology. Now, they want to punish dissenters. This is Harris’ area of expertise. You can call it “cancel culture,” but that term is too benign. She is not a mere demagogue. She is a demagogue who will use the power of the government to punish “the other side.” She is a dead-on prosecutor, ”her mentor Willie Brown wrote,” and when she goes into that mode, watch out. She is out for blood.” As California attorney general, Harris prosecuted and persecuted pro-life undercover filmmaker David Daleiden for his work exposing Planned Parenthood’s trade in fetal remains. She seized his recordings while pursuing the abortion lobby’s endorsement for Senate. She was also the first prosecutor to use California’s eavesdropping laws against a journalist, all after secret consultations with the abortion provider. The government should treat pro-lifers like segregationists, Harris has argued publicly. A clear majority of the public, about 70%, believe there should be restrictions on abortion, but Harris wants to treat states that pass restrictions as if they are acting outside the bounds of democratic legitimacy. She’s called the Knights of Columbus “extremist.” She will attack “the bad guys” on the flimsiest grounds. Recall her bizarre line of questioning about the “Kasowitz law firm” during Brett Kavanaugh’s confirmation hearings. When Kavanaugh looked confused by the questions, Kamala’s cheerleaders in the media credited her with a beautiful “prosecutorial beatdown.” It turns out there was nothing there but innuendo — empty badgering to make a political opponent look bad is just what an abusive prosecutor does in front of a jury. It’s her style. Harris’ presidential campaign was focused on dividing the country. Gun owners, pro-lifers, home-schoolers, and traditional religions will have reason to fear persecution in an administration where Harris has sway. We know she will have sway because the culture-war wing calls the tune in Biden’s Democratic Party. Biden will probably continue to talk about reuniting a country divided by Trump’s presidency. But as of today, nobody should believe it.)

— How Racism in HR Practices Hides in Plain Sight – Jeff Neal (DIERSEN: According to my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes, because of discrimination against minorities and because of discrimination against women, if I had been a minority or a woman, a) I would not have been able to earn 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; job-related professional certifications when I was 30, 32, 41, 45, 47, and 48; and a job-related professional license when I was 32 and b) the Post Office would not have hired me in 1966; Firestone Stores would not have hired me in 1970; Oldsmobile would not have offered me a job in 1971; IRS would not have hired me in 1971; IRS would not have promoted me in 1972, 1973, or 1974; GAO would not have hired me in 1980; and GAO would not have promoted me in 1986. However, my superiors have always been under tremendous pressure from Democrat politicians to hire, retain, and promote young Democrat minorities and young Democrat females. If I had been a Democrat, minority, woman, and/or veteran, my Democrat superiors in the federal government would have promoted me into their Senior Executive Service long before I was 40 years old.)
https://www.fedsmith.com/2020/08/11/how-racism-hr-practices-hides-plain-sight/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Qualifications requirements are one of the biggest sources of racism in hiring and promotion. They are described as being the core of merit-based hiring, but are they really? If an agency decides it wants to hire only people with Bachelor’s degrees, but the job does not require a degree and the agency has no proof that a degree leads to higher performance, the agency is discriminating against people who lack a particular credential that is not needed for the job. When we look at this chart of census data on education and race, it becomes apparent that a degree requirement that is not valid is likely to make more white and Asian people eligible for the job, and fewer Black and Hispanic people eligible. Was the intent to be racist? Probably not, but the intent does not erase the racially biased outcome of the decision. There are other education-related practices that can result in racial disparities. For example, I have worked with many senior executives who like to recruit at particular schools (often their alma mater). Depending on the racial makeup of the school, the result can be racial disparity. Again, those are generally not cases where the person making the recruiting decision intends to discriminate based on race, but that is still the outcome. Racism also exists in performance ratings. . .Another good example of racism is in discipline and adverse actions. . .Agencies often rely on years of experience for hiring and promotion decisions. . .The hiring process itself is cloaked in the language of merit, yet it is remarkably subjective.)

I worked for IRS for almost 9 years and I worked for GAO for almost 18 years.

— The high-tech Jim Crow era: How your data is being weaponized. – CHRIS REED (DIERSEN: Of course, my critics/opponents want the following to give me a very low “social credit score:” the leaders of the Milton Township Republican Organization, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, Illinois Republican Party, Wheaton’s West District, Wheaton, Wheaton Chamber of Commerce, Milton Township, DuPage County’s 4th District, DuPage County, and Illinois.)
https://www.chicagotribune.com/opinion/commentary/ct-opinion-online-data-surveillance-20200811-qcrxivpe2ndldhwbeh6busaxuu-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: In 2014, China announced it would set up a system to judge its citizens: on their trustworthiness, their public and social media behavior, the wisdom of their purchasing habits, how often they play video games, their interactions with law enforcement and government officials, whether they clean up after their dogs and more. Many pundits and academics saw this as an extraordinary step by an authoritarian state to enforce conformity on its 1.3 billion-plus residents. China isn’t doing this just to nudge people to be better citizens. Instead, it is punishing or rewarding them based on their “social credit score.” High rankings ensure quicker processing of government documents, better access to goods and housing, and other sorts of preferential treatment. Low rankings reduce or eliminate access to many goods, public and private services, and travel options. Beijing actively shames individuals it finds wanting. A cellphone app produces a graphic showing those nearby who are socially “deficient” and why they are considered untrustworthy. As Newsweek reported in 2018, the biggest sin of all is being a government critic. It detailed how an investigative journalist who had gone after official corruption found his daughter denied access to good schools, among many other penalties. Shades of “1984.” Yet as many publications have pointed out, the United States has a de facto equivalent — except it is overseen by private companies, not the government. These firms use artificial intelligence-driven algorithms to vacuum up a stunning variety of information points collected automatically by cellphone applications and off the internet. They use this data to make sweeping judgments about Americans — all without transparency about what goes into these judgments.)

(FROM THE PRESS RELEASE: The DuPage County Board voted Tuesday to put three referendum questions on the November 2020 General Election ballot. Two questions seek the voters’ opinion on law enforcement issues: The first asks about funding for law enforcement while the second asks about law enforcement training methods. The third question asks voters about whether the County should stockpile personal protective equipment to protect against a further outbreak of COVID-19. “Residents have expressed a great deal of interest in these topics in recent months. Voters will share their opinions about public safety, weighing in on questions of public safety and actions we take to ensure the public health. Residents will provide us important feedback as we continue to work through the challenges presented by these unprecedented times,” said Chairman Dan Cronin. The referendum questions will appear on the ballot as follows: “Shall DuPage County continue to consider financial support of law enforcement and public safety its top budgeting priority?” In order to fight the spread of COVID-19, shall DuPage County obtain a stockpile of personal protective equipment for distribution to nursing homes, first responders, health care providers, and at risk communities who are not otherwise able to obtain personal protective equipment?” “Shall DuPage County continue to fund and support training methods that decrease the risk of injury to officers and suspects for local law enforcement agencies?”)

Atlkins told the newspaper that protesters are “demanding that police be defunded.

People do whatever they need,” she said. “These businesses have insurance. They can get it all back. We can’t get our lives back once they kill us.” In videos posted on Twitter by LaRiviere, Atkins is heard telling the crowd outside the station: “We are in a pandemic. People are about to face evictions in numbers we have never seen before. “People don’t have a job. Why is [Chicago Mayor Lori] Lightfoot so stressed about some buildings when people are dying? “Why is she so OK with us being beaten and gassed, our lives threatened? Why is she so willing to put us away for life for looting?” In a tweet on Monday night, Black Lives Matter Chicago wrote: “Multiple people have been released since we started rallying.

— The man Google loves to hate. Mississippi’s former AG waged a nine-year battle with Google that prompted the company to take him to court — provoking states that are now pursuing a potentially devastating lawsuit. – LEAH NYLEN (DIERSEN: My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes are overjoyed that Google continues to refuse to treat www.gopillinois.com as being a news website.)
https://www.politico.com/news/2020/08/10/jim-hood-google-392585
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Jim Hood antagonized Google for nine years as Mississippi’s attorney general, going after the internet giant for enabling the sale of illegal drugs, allowing pirated content to flourish online and serving up targeted ads to children. And Google fought back: Hood holds the title of the only U.S. public official the company has ever sued. Now Hood has returned for more. Earlier this year, he signed on as a consultant to the massive, multistate investigation into the company’s dominance online. Forty-eight states, D.C. and Puerto Rico are expected to file an antitrust suit against the company this fall — one that, paired with a federal antitrust probe, represents the biggest regulatory threat to Google’s business yet. The twin efforts target the heart of Google’s business: advertising and search, which are key to the company’s $160 billion annual revenue. The states’ decision to bring on Hood, who stepped down in January following an unsuccessful bid for governor, suggests they are expecting a drawn-out legal battle that will require persistence, and maybe a bit of an attack dog. “Dealing with Google is like dealing with a teenager,” the 58-year-old Democrat said in an interview. “They don’t follow the norms that other businesses do. Google will tell you one thing and do something different.” During his 16 years as Mississippi AG, Google was Hood’s biggest — and most elusive — target, spanning issues including antitrust, privacy, intellectual property theft and the power of state attorneys general to investigate tech. While other states and agencies opened investigations into Google during the same years, Hood mostly operated independently and kept going long after the others settled or let their cases drop.)

— A lesson in contrasts: How the GOP purged its leader amid corruption allegations – Editorial
https://www.chicagotribune.com/opinion/editorials/ct-edit-corruption-madigan-comed-lee-daniels-20200807-3q6u23z34ncvrii6mlctw2ydwy-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: In June 2002, then-Illinois Republican Party Chairman Lee Daniels abruptly announced his resignation from that party post as pressure mounted, including from the GOP state attorney general, to remove unwanted “distractions” in an election year. Daniels and his chief of staff had fallen under the radar of federal prosecutors who were investigating whether GOP staff members did campaign work on state time. “The party deserves to serve its purpose without unwarranted distractions,” Daniels, who as House minority leader was House Speaker Michael Madigan’s counterpart, said in announcing he would step down as party chair. “For that reason, it is best that I refocus my energy and encourage others to refocus theirs.” Not long after, the House Republican caucus voted 33-18 to install a new House leader, Rep. Tom Cross, after Daniels lost support among his colleagues in that role too. Daniels had not been charged and was only peripherally linked to a time sheet scandal, but the whiff of a federal corruption probe pushed his members to force him out of leadership. Three years later, Daniels’ chief of staff, Michael Tristano, formally was indicted and later pleaded guilty to a fraud charge as part of a probe into state workers’ diverting taxpayer resources to campaigns. Tristano also was accused of working out a deal with a real estate group to put a Republican candidate on its payroll. In exchange, the real estate group’s project received more than $1 million in state funds, prosecutors said. Other statehouse insiders, including Madigan, then-Treasurer Judy Baar Topinka and Senate President Emil Jones, also had been asked to turn over records as part of a state-resources-to-campaigns scandal. Shortly after Tristano’s indictment in 2005, Daniels announced he would retire from his remaining position as a state representative. Daniels was not implicated in Tristano’s indictment, and he was never charged with wrongdoing. But he left anyway. A top GOP party and policy leader in the state who once held three positions of power was gone, pushed out by his own members and a nudge from the previous GOP attorney general, Jim Ryan, who had forwarded corruption allegations to federal investigators. Under the lens of compare and contrast, then and now, one takeaway is this state’s breathtaking tolerance for corruption. It has settled into the system of governance and politics as its own permanent institution. Corruption is an expected byproduct of serving in public office, like wind makes waves.)
