DAILY CALLER
— JUDGE KAVANAUGH STILL HAS HIS SOCIAL CALENDAR FROM 1982 – Virginia Kruta (DIERSEN: What was on your social calendar when you were 17? My social calendar was virtually empty. I worked as a part-time dishwasher for the minimum wage in the basement of the S.S. Kresges in Chicago Heights. I bought a new 1966 Pontiac Tempest Sprint with the money that I had earned and saved washing dishes. I graduated from Crete-Monee High School. I just barely made into the upper 20% of my class. My ACT score was only 24. Nevertheless, I got accepted by UIC. During the summer of 1966, I worked as a golf shoe cleaner for the Flossmoor Country Club, as a slag chipper for Thrall Car in Chicago Heights, and as a gasoline pumper for John’s Sinclair in South Chicago Heights. I lived with my parents and brother in Crete. I saved money for college expenses. My eyesight could not be corrected to 20/20. I had partial red/green color blindness. I had Osgood-Schlatter disease (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osgood%E2%80%93Schlatter_disease).)

They stress that their candidate destroyed me when I ran for MTRCC Treasurer in 2004. They stress that they rudely ended my MTRCC webmaster service in 2004 and 2010.

— Ben Carson’s HUD: Political loyalty required, no experience necessary – Tracy Jan (DIERSEN: GAO audits IRS. The Democrats who ran GAO 1980-1997 wasted my knowledge of IRS’s Collection Division. I worked for IRS’s Collection Division for almost 9 years, the last 5 1/2 years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 levels, currently $81,070-$91,880, before I transferred to GAO in 1980. While my Democrat GAO superiors assigned me to audits of IRS’s Criminal Investigation Division 1986-1988, they refused to assign me to audits of IRS’s Collection Division. They would have assigned me to audits of IRS’s Collection Division if I had been a Democrat, minority, female, and/or veteran.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development awarded promotions and pay increases to five political operatives with no housing policy experience within their first months on the job, demonstrating what government watchdogs and career staff describe as a premium put on loyalty over expertise. The raises, documented in a Washington Post analysis of HUD political hires, resulted in annual salaries between $98,000 and $155,000 for the five appointees, all of whom had worked on Donald Trump’s or Ben Carson’s presidential campaigns. Three of them did not list bachelor’s degrees on their résumés. The political hires were among at least 24 people without evident housing policy experience who were appointed to the best-paying political positions at HUD, an agency charged with serving the poorest Americans. They account for a third of the 70 HUD appointees at the upper ranks of the federal government, with salaries above $94,000, according to the Post review of agency records. The limited experience at the upper reaches of the agency — HUD Secretary Carson, a retired neurosurgeon, has no prior housing, executive or government background — injected confusion into the rollout of policy initiatives and brought delays to even routine functions, according to interviews with 16 current and former career staff members. “This administration is different, because the people coming in really don’t know housing at all,” said Ron Ashford, who retired as director of HUD’s public-housing supportive-service programs in January after 22 years at the agency. “As a result, they’re pursuing initiatives that aren’t grounded in reality.”)

— Illinois congressmen split on push to remove SALT deduction cap – Cole Lauterbach (DIERSEN: Roskam should increase the $10,000 SALT cap to $20,000 for married filing jointly.)
https://www.ilnews.org/news/statewide/illinois-congressmen-split-on-push-to-remove-salt-deduction-cap/article_38a1d2fa-bc48-11e8-ab06-d73b477e6e69.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Rep. Danny Davis, a Chicago Democrat, chastised Republicans for placing a $10,000 limit on how much in state and local taxes can be deducted on a federal filing. He and other Democrats tried to add language rolling back the cap to the follow-up legislation making last winter’s tax cuts permanent. Davis told the House Ways and Means Committee that the cap unfairly burdens Illinoisans and hurts business passthroughs. “The Republican-sought bill would increase taxes on almost 2 million Illinoisans by hundreds of millions of dollars,” he said. Committee Chairman Kevin Brady shot back at Democrats in his final remarks before calling the bill for a vote, saying the tax break subsidizes high-tax states. “This is a great amendment,” Brady said. “If you are wealthy or you are a governor or state legislator who loves to brutally tax families and businesses … these very states are seeing windfalls because the economy is booming and changes in the tax code are providing them new revenue. What we’ve seen is that these high tax states are pocketing that revenue.” The amendment failed, with Republicans Peter Roskam and Darin Lahood voting against it. According to the IRS, the average SALT deduction in Illinois was more than $12,000. The progressive Institute on Taxation and Public Policy said in a report that removing the cap on SALT deductions would simply be another tax cut for the rich, saying “repealing the SALT cap would cost $87 billion in tax year 2019 alone and 63 percent of the benefits would go to the richest 1 percent.” Others have criticized the state and local tax deduction as a subsidy and incentive to high-earners in high-tax states who arguably have the greatest ability to pay for it.)

— Project Veritas Undercover Video — GAO Auditor on Socialist Activism: ‘We Want to Destroy Capitalists’ – Joshua Caplan (DIERSEN: One could say that GAO got rid of me so that it could hire employees like this.)
https://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2018/09/20/project-veritas-gao-socialist-activism-destroy-capitalists/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: In the latest installment of Project Veritas’ undercover video series into the “Deep State,” a U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO) employee purportedly admits to breaking agency rules and being a member of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA). UPDATE: According to Project Veritas, GAO has issued a statement saying that this employee has been “removed from any ongoing GAO work.” The statement reads: “[W]e cannot comment on his personnel status due to privacy laws. But he has been removed from any ongoing GAO work and cut off from access to GAO equipment. We have a rigorous quality control process with many reviewers that prevents one person from biasing our final reports. But we will also examine his work product as part of our investigation.” Project Veritas identifies its latest subject as Natarajan Subramanian, a GAO administrator and “self-proclaimed Communist,” appearing to tell an undercover journalist that federal employees may calculatingly subvert President Donald Trump’s agenda by simply accomplishing tasks at a slower pace. “If you’re in [an] executive branch agency you can slow ball things to a degree, that it’s like ineffective, and maybe you get in trouble, or maybe you get fired or resign or whatever, but you slowed [Trump’s agenda] down for a certain period of time,” Subramanian says. In another exchange, Subramanian purportedly says he is not only a card-carrying member of the Metro DC DSA but also works secretly to expand the group’s online presence — while on the job as a federal employee. “Everything that I’m doing with DSA is stuff that I’m not supposed to be doing for work… it’s explicitly prohibited. If they find out I could get in trouble, basically,” Subramanian says during the tape. “No one knows I spent six hours yesterday doing social media for DSA.” According to Subramanian, other GAO staffers are aware he is a Metro DC DSA member, yet his superiors remain in the dark. “Management does not know. You have to be strategic about things like this,” he says. Subramanian purportedly admits he would be terminated if GAO officials were aware of his activism during work hours — yet breaks the rules anyways. “That’s when I might get fired. If there’s like a camera above my cubicle looking down so they can see and zoom in and see what’s on my phone,” he explains. “I would get fired if they knew that I was [engaging in DSA activity at work,] and I do. I do it on my phone.” In a separate exchange, the GAO staffer says one of his DSA cohorts assists the Pentagon with “war planning stuff” involving Syria and possesses Top Secret clearance. Subramanian says little oversight exists across the federal government. “There’s no one looking over my shoulder,” he says. “So like, a lot of times what I’ll do, and this is kind of what I’m doing right now, is like I’ll drink the night before, I tele-work and then I’m like, if I’m 15 minutes late to log on, no one checks.” In a statement released Thursday, Project Veritas founder James O’Keefe said of the investigative group’s latest sting: “For years the public has been at most only nebulously aware of the permanent administrative state. Only recently have we begun calling it the ‘deep state.’ And with this series, we’ve begun exposing who these individuals undermining our government really are.”)

 

WORLD NET DAILY
— COMMUNIST (GAO EMPLOYEE) BOASTS OF HINDERING PRESIDENT’S AGENDA ‘You can slow-ball things to a degree’ – BOB UNRUH (DIERSEN: One could say that GAO got rid of me so that it could hire employees like this.)
https://www.wnd.com/2018/09/communist-federal-worker-boasts-of-hindering-presidents-agenda/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A federal employee who describes himself as a communist boasts he can slow down President Trump’s agenda simply by deliberately delaying his assignments. “If you’re in [an] executive branch agency you can slow-ball things to a degree, that it’s like ineffective, and maybe you get in trouble, or maybe you get fired or resign or whatever, but you slowed [Trump’s agenda] down for a certain period of time,” he said. The comments by Natarajan Subramanian, a Government Accountability Office worker and “self-described communist,” were captured in an undercover video by James O’Keefe’s Project Veritas. It’s the third video in the series. In the second, two “Deep State” radicals confessed, “There’s a lot of talk about how we can like, resist from inside.” The first video in the series, released Tuesday, showed career civil servant Stuart Karaffa of the State Department boasting of working for the Democratic Socialists of America while he’s being paid by taxpayers. He explained his task is: “Resist everything. … Every level.” Since Trump’s election, there have been many references to the “Deep State,” the unelected, career bureaucrats using their tax-paid jobs to undermine the president’s agenda, including his efforts to “drain the swamp” and make government work better. Subramanian boasts of being a GAO auditor while working for the Metro DC Democratic Socialists of America. “Metro DC DSA is a socialist group that works to advance progressive issues in the Metropolitan DC area. Subramanian’s political activism may directly violate federal statutes as well as the ‘Yellow Book’ rules which apply specifically to government auditors,” Project Veritas explained. Subramanian said executive branch workers can deliberately stall the president’s agenda through their work or by doing less work. And he chooses to prioritize his politics over his job responsibilities. “Everything that I’m doing with DSA is stuff that I’m not supposed to be doing for work … it’s explicitly prohibited. If they find out I could get in trouble, basically,” he told the undercover journalists. In June, when his organization harassed Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen in public, he admitted “doing social media” for Metro DC DSA for most of the day. “No one knows I spent six hours yesterday doing social media for DSA,” he said. Subramanian said he conceals his actions from his supervisors, explaining one has to be “strategic.” BBut he believes he is safe. “There’s no one looking over my shoulder. So like, a lot of times what I’ll do, and this is kind of what I’m doing right now. I’ll drink the night before, I tele-work and then I’m like, if I’m 15 minutes late to log on, no one checks.” O’Keefe says the video series puts a face on the Deep State: “For years the public has been at most only nebulously aware of the permanent administrative state. Only recently have we begun calling it the ‘deep state.’ And with this series, we’ve begun exposing who these individuals undermining our government really are.” Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has confirmed that the government is aware of the video series.)

— DuPage County Election Commission sued for moving election district boundaries – JOHN KRAFT
http://edgarcountywatchdogs.com/2018/09/dupage-county-election-commission-sued-for-moving-election-district-boundaries/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A Complaint has been filed against the DuPage County Election Commission alleging the commission moved boundaries of one precinct and two legislative districts without proper authority to move the boundaries. It involved moving certain properties out of Naperville Township Precinct #25, the 49th Representative District, and the 25th Legislative District. Those properties were moved, without authority into Naperville Township Precinct #6, the 41st Representative District, and the 21st Legislative District. It seeks to have the commission reverse its move and ensure that residents of certain real estate within the county vote in the legislative districts that they are actually part of, based on the most recent approved map. It asks the Court to order the commission to distribute the correct ballots to the properties in question, and order the commission to refrain from delivering the wrong ballot to those properties, and complains of a violation of voter’s rights. Complaint (http://edgarcountywatchdogs.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/Verified-Complaint-for-Injunction-FILED-4848-7192-1011.pdf) Exhibits (http://edgarcountywatchdogs.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/Exhibits-A-F-FILED.pdf) Candidate and incumbent State Representative Grant Wehrli is the Plaintiff. His attorney is Keri-Lyn Krafthefer of Ancel, Glink, Diamond, Bush, DiCianni & Krafthefer P.C. We understand there is a Hearing on the Complaint scheduled for September 19th in DuPage Circuit Court.)

BOSTON HERALD
— Kavanaugh allegation can’t be taken back – Rich Lowry
http://www.bostonherald.com/opinion/op_ed/2018/09/kavanaugh_allegation_can_t_be_taken_back
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Brett Kavanaugh, who the day before yesterday was an unimpeachable pillar of the legal establishment, stands accused of a heinous offense that is almost impossible to definitively rebut. Even if he is completely innocent of the charge that he sexually assaulted a teenage girl at a high school party 36 years ago, he will be forever considered guilty of it by some portion of the public. This is not due process, or any kind of decent process at all, but how the Senate conducts its business, especially if you are a conservative jurist on the cusp of confirmation to the Supreme Court. A 51-year-old research psychologist named Christine Blasey Ford went public with the accusation in a Washington Post interview over the weekend, saying she feared for her life when the teenage Kavanaugh attacked her. The charge was inevitably viewed through the prism of #MeToo. But it lacks the credibility of allegations that have felled powerful men over the past two years. There is no contemporaneous corroboration. There is no pattern of conduct on the part of Kavanaugh. There is no weaselly, “Well, I don’t remember it that way, but I’m sorry if she was offended” denial; Kavanaugh rejects the charge categorically. Contrast the allegations against, to take a Republican from another moral universe, the Alabama Senate candidate Roy Moore. A key accuser from decades ago told friends about her relationship with Moore at the time. There was more than one allegation — indeed, Moore had a reputation for unsavory interest in teenage girls. When he first reacted to the stories, Moore gave a mealy mouthed denial.)

 

TIME
— Colleagues Defend Brett Kavanaugh’s Accuser as a Person of Integrity – AP (DIERSEN: How many demographics do you share with Kavanaugh? Both Kavanaugh and I are old non-veteran White male conservative Republicans whose ancestors have been in America for a long time. While Kavanaugh is a federal employee, I am a retired federal employee. While Kavanaugh is Catholic, I was baptized, raised, and confirmed as a Missouri Synod Lutheran. While Kavanaugh is Irish national origin, I am German national origin. If you were accused of wrongdoing by a woman, who would defend your integrity? My accusers would hint/imply/argue/shout that I am “guilty as charged” if the following failed/refused to defend my integrity: a) past and present Milton Township Republican Central Committee, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, Illinois Republican Party, TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois, Wheaton Chamber of Commerce, Illinois Center Right Coalition, American Association of Political Consultants, etc. members; b) past and present GAO, IRS, Post Office, etc. employees; c) defendants in lawsuits that I have filed; d) all the candidates who have been on Republican primary ballots in my precinct since 2000, e) etc.)

Speaking with hiring managers, human resources professionals and candidates every day offers insight into the hiring trends before they hit the mainstream. One of the most disturbing recent trends I’ve noticed is the blatant and unabashed discrimination against older employees.
