— Trump’s budget is simultaneously austere and reckless – Editorial (DIERSEN: How did you gain your knowledge about how the federal government operates? I worked for GAO as an Analyst for almost 18 years, the last 11 years of which at the GS-13 Step 1-10 levels, currently $101,176-$131,532/year. I worked on audits of federal financial institution regulators for almost 9 years, on audits of IRS for 3 years, and on audits of many other federal agencies, including Railroad Retirement Board, Department of Defense, U.S. Postal Service, Environmental Protection Agency, Department of Energy, Department of Transportation, Immigration and Naturalization Service, General Service Administration, Federal Highway Administration, Department of Labor, Federal Aviation Administration, Veteran Administration, Department of Housing and Urban Development, and Department of Health and Human Services, for almost 6 years. I worked for IRS as a Revenue Officer for almost 9 years, the last 5 1/2 years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 levels, currently $85,084-$96,431/year. I worked for the Post Office as a part time carrier/clerk for almost 3 years at the GS-4 Step 1-3 levels, currently $16.64-$17.75/hour. I learned a lot about federal court procedures as an active member in a class action lawsuit and as the plaintiff in two lawsuits. I learned a lot about arbitration procedures as a grievant four grievances and as a Financial Regulatory Authority arbitrator since 1998).

— Volusia Republican dominance: Gap between GOP, Democrats growing – Mark Harper (DIERSEN: What percent of the voters in your precinct, municipal district, municipality, township, and county a) unethically cast Republican primary ballots to do whatever damage that they can to the Republican Party and b) vote for Democrats in general elections?)
https://www.news-journalonline.com/news/20200211/volusia-republican-dominance-gap-between-gop-democrats-growing
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The gap between Republicans and Democrats in Volusia County is now more than 7,000 and growing, as the GOP’s ground game and the demographics of who’s moving to the Daytona Beach area are contributing factors to a reddening county. But for Sunshine State voters who want a say, there is a significant deadline approaching. They must be registered as a Democrat or a Republican by next Tuesday, Feb. 18, in order to vote on March 17. Florida remains a closed-primary state. For presidential preference primaries, NPAs have no say. In Volusia County, more than 3 in 10 registered voters are ineligible to vote for President Trump, Bernie Sanders, Joe Biden, Elizabeth Warren, Pete Buttigieg or anyone else in March. That’s in large part because considerably more and more Floridians are not signing up with the parties.)

— FRONT PAGE: DIERSEN HEADLINE: DISGUSTING, TRAGIC: Naperville: Ever-increasingly, those who promote LGBTQ activity promote LGBTQ activity. To promote LGBTQ activity is a) to destroy traditional marriage and b) to destroy the traditional family.
https://www.dailyherald.com/news/20200210/together-under-the-big-top-the-theme-of-first-naper-pride-fest–
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Through the city’s Special Events and Cultural Amenities Fund, supported by a citywide food and beverage tax, Naper Pride is receiving $83,536 to offset festival costs. Eva-Genevieve Scarborough thanked city council members for their support during a meeting last week, saying now is the time for the city’s LGBTQ residents to become more outspoken. “For a long time, we have, of necessity, kept a low profile because who we are by nature was considered too controversial,” Scarborough said.)

CRAIN’S CHICAGO BUSINESS
— After Facebook settles class action, Google is sued – JOHN PLETZ (DIERSEN: Have you ever been a member of a class in a class action lawsuit? I was. In 1988, when I was 40 years old, I became an active member in a class action lawsuit that charged my Democrat GAO superiors with reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation. The members of the class were GAO employees who were White, male, and over age 40. The lawsuit failed because instead of uniting, class members “cut deals” with their Democrat superiors “under the table” to keep their jobs. Class members agreed to help their Democrat superiors get rid of other class members. I should write a book about the class members in GAO’s Chicago office who did everything that they could to get rid of me to keep their jobs. They kept me off audits of IRS. They gave me unfair performance expectations and appraisals. They always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes. They did not promote me beyond GS-13. They stressed the following to demonize me, to denigrate me, and to condemn me: a) I was conservative, b) I was Republican, c) I had avoided the draft, d) I was baptized, raised and confirmed as a Missouri Synod Lutheran, e) I was 100% German American, f) I lived in Crete 1948-1972, g) I had lived in Wheaton since 1978, h) my wife had a good job and we had retirement savings, i) my wife and I had given up trying to have children, j) we did not adopt, k) we did not become foster parents, l) I had owned a 1972 Corvette since 1971, a 1962 Chevy Impala SS collector car since 1989, and a 1968 Dodge Charger R/T collector car since 1994, m) my ancestors had been in America since 1844, n) etc. And then, in 1997, when I was 49 years old, they helped my GAO superiors force me to take their early retirement “offer.”)

Ives said her campaign includes eight paid staff members and is “blessed to have over 300 self-identified volunteers.” She is involved in day-to-day decisions about data collection, fundraising, communications and strategy.)

In 1971, when I was 22 years old, Oldsmobile withdrew a job offer that I had accepted saying it had just agreed to stop hiring Whites to settle an EEOC complaint.)

CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— Lake County Dems seek to dump Sen. Link as party’s chair – CHARLES SELLE (DIERSEN: Who has declared their candidacy to serve as officers of your Republican county and township party organizations? Questions to ask them include: If elected, how would the following help you carry out your duties: a) your education, b) your political experience and work experience, c) your professional certifications and licenses, and d) length of time that you have lived in your municipality, township, county, and Illinois?

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Regardless, party leaders expect to replace him as chair of county Democrats and coalesce behind party volunteer activist Lauren Beth Gash of Highland Park. In anticipation of change at the top, Gash, who founded the 10th Congressional District Democrats, has the support of a diverse group of prominent Lake County Democrats, I was told. Democrat committeemen and women will elect the party’s chair to a two-year term following the March 17 primary election, when the grassroots functionaries from both parties will be elected.)

I should write a book about the first 6 years (1980-1985) and the last 9 years (1989-1997) that I worked for the Democrats who ran GAO. They assigned their employees who were Democrat, minority, female, and/or young to audits of IRS a) who knew absolutely nothing about IRS, b) who had never taken a course in accounting, and/or c) did not want to be assigned to audits of IRS. Except 1986-1988, my Democrat GAO superiors wasted my knowledge of IRS that I had gained working for IRS for almost 9 years (1971-1980), the last 5 1/2 years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 levels, currently $85,084-$96,431/year. They wasted what I had learned passing the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, earning a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980, and passing the Certified Internal Auditor Examination on my first attempt in 1981. They would not have done that if I had been a Democrat, minority, female, younger, and/or a veteran.)

Of course, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes would never stoop to seek or take a job with the federal government. Many millions have not and will not seek a job with the federal government a) because the pay and benefits are terrible, b) because the advancement opportunities are terrible, c) because they lack required education, work experience, professional certifications, and/or professional licenses, d) because they cannot pass an employment examination, e) because they cannot pass a background investigation, f) because they cannot pass a physical examination, g) because they cannot take the demonization, denigration, and condemnation that comes with being a federal employee or federal retiree, and/or h) because they are Republican, White, male, older, and/or non-veteran and they know that the federal government discriminates against the aforesaid.)

— How to Navigate Your Most Dangerous Decade – Liz Weston (DIERSEN QUESTION: What could Diersen have done to avoid being forced by his Democrat GAO superiors to take early retirement in 1997 when he was 49 years old? ANSWER: a) Diersen should NOT have become an active member in a class action lawsuit in 1988 when he was 40 years old that charged his superiors with reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation, b) Diersen should NOT have complained about political affiliation, reverse discrimination, or age discrimination, c) Diersen should have been a yes-man, d) Diersen should NOT have avoided the draft, and e) Diersen should have always been a Democrat.) 
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Losing a job is almost always traumatic. In your 50s, job loss can be devastating — and devastatingly common. More than half the workers who entered their 50s with stable, full-time jobs were laid off or pushed out at least once by age 65, according to an analysis of employment data from 1990 to 2016 by the nonprofit newsroom ProPublica and the Urban Institute, a nonprofit think tank. Only 10% of those who lost a job ever found another that paid as much, and most never recovered financially. Such concerns may seem remote in a booming economy, when the official unemployment rate is 3.5% overall and just 2.4% for those 55 and over. But recessions are inevitable, and even in good times older workers can be more vulnerable to involuntary job loss because of age discrimination. These realities make it important to have a plan for navigating what could be your most dangerous decade.)

FORBES
— How Your Leadership Team Might Be Setting A Terrible Example – Ron Carucci (DIERSEN: I should write a book about how members of organizations are encouraged/forced to emulate the leaders of those organizations. I would focus on the Milton Township Republican Organization, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and the Illinois Republican Party. I would focus on those leaders who glorify, praise, and pander to those members who glorify, praise, and pander to them. I would focus on those leaders who demonize, denigrate, condemn, and destroy those members who do not glorify, praise, and pander to them.)
https://www.forbes.com/sites/roncarucci/2020/01/13/how-your-leadership-team-might-be-setting-a-terrible-example/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: In the everyday intensity of leading an organization, teams at the top can lose sight of the signals they send, and whether or not the example they’re setting is one they’d actually want followed. The team at the top of an part of any organization (enterprise, function, region, business unit) has disproportionate levels of influence over those it leads. People further down in the organization look to their leaders for cues on what’s acceptable (and what isn’t) and the team’s behaviors – both good and bad – will be emulated. Having your actions play out publicly as if on a jumbotron, is a huge responsibility, but unfortunately too many teams don’t take this responsibility as seriously as they should. The consequences can be farther reaching than most leadership teams realize. . .If a video camera captured your leadership team in action for a full day, how would you feel about having that video used as training for the rest of the organization? Being on a leadership team should be viewed as a privilege. And along with that privilege comes a responsibility to behave in ways you would be proud to have the rest of the organization emulate.)

INC.
— 5 Tips for Impressing Your Candidates During an Interview You need to appeal to talented people who can make an impact. – Jared Hecht (DIERSEN: To appeal to candidates who are Democrat, minority, female, and/or younger, the Democrats who run the federal government can stress that the federal government gives preference big time to its employees who are Democrat, minority, female, and/or younger, that is, that the federal government discriminates against its employees who are Republican, White, male, and/or older unless they 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.

The more of the following that Republicans are, the more that they are stereotyped: Trump supporter, Protestant, conservative, patriotic, White, male, older, non-poor, gun owner, German American, draft avoider, and/or if their ancestors have been in America for a long time.)

I should write a book about my critics/opponents. Rather than attacking the authors of articles that they do not like, my critics/opponents attack me. My critics/opponents treat me like they know that no one will come to my defense. My critics/opponents see many examples in which those who could and should have come to my defense, including Illinois Republican Party, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Milton Township Republican Organization (MTRO) leaders, but did not. My critics/opponent stress that I am no longer a TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois chairman, Wheaton Chamber of Commerce Government Affairs Committee member, MTRO webmaster, Illinois Center Right Coalition Steering Committee member, American Association of Political Consultants Midwest Chapter board member, GAO employee, etc. My critics/opponents stress those who could and should have come to my defense, but did not.)

That, of course, because I am Republican, White, male, non-veteran, and forced to take a $20,157 (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO as a GS-9 Step 10 in 1980 when I was 31 years old, resulted in their wasting my career and getting rid of me.)

GOVERNMENT EXECUTIVE
— House Republicans Unveil Plan to Boost Merit Pay and Slash Pensions Proposals would help rein in a “swamp monster” of a runaway bureaucracy, lawmakers say. – ERIC KATZ (DIERSEN: The Democrats who run the federal government use the subjectivity in merit pay a) to retain and promote their employees who are Democrat, minority, female, and/or younger and b) to get rid of their employees who are Republican, White, male, and/or non-veteran who they did not promote 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.)
https://www.govexec.com/pay-benefits/2020/02/house-republicans-unveil-plan-boost-merit-pay-and-slash-pensions/162948/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: group consisting of three-quarters of House Republicans on Thursday released a new blueprint to overhaul the civil service, calling for easier firing, more merit-based bonuses and cuts to automatic pay raises. The Republican Study Committee and its 146 members praised the federal workforce overall, but said in its Government Efficiency, Accountability and Reform Task Force report that civil servants’ overall compensation is too high. The report repeated a long-running complaint that good applicants are too hard to hire and bad workers are too hard to fire, suggesting that some feds are intentionally undermining the Trump administration. At an event at the Capitol to unveil the reform plan, which featured several members of the committee as well as a man in a “swamp monster” costume, lawmakers said it would serve as a “playbook” for legislative changes once Republicans retake control of Congress.)

— Stories Of The Enslaved In Illinois – TARA MCCLELLAN MCANDREW (DIERSEN: When did your ancestors come to Illinois? Mine came to Chicago in 1844. Sooner or later, if not already, the longer that your ancestors have been in Illinois, the more that Democrats, Libertarians, Greens, and RINOs will demand that you pay more reparations, that is, that you pay more of the price of Affirmative Action, Diversity, and Inclusion. Further, the more of the following that you are, that more reparations that they will demand you to pay: Trump supporter, Protestant, conservative, patriotic, Republican, American, White, male, older, non-poor, gun owner, German American, and draft avoider.) 
https://www.nprillinois.org/post/stories-enslaved-illinois#stream/0
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Contrary to what we’ve been told and taught, Illinois was not a free state. Slavery and indentured servitude —slavery by another name — were legal here from the early 1700s until 1863. Blacks (and Native Americans early on) were bought, sold, auctioned, kidnapped, indentured, punished, controlled, gifted and taxed as property in the Land of Lincoln.)

FOX NEWS
— Can Mitt Romney actually be expelled from the Republican Party? – Tyler Olson (DIERSEN: In Illinois, the more planks in the Illinois Republican Party (IRP) platform that you support, the more likely that Democrat plant, Libertarian plant, Green plant, and RINO party leaders will expel you.) 
https://www.foxnews.com/politics/can-mitt-romney-actually-be-expelled-from-the-republican-party
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The U.S. political system may be run by two major parties, but compared with other countries, those parties have very little control over the positions espoused and votes cast by their members. The Republican National Committee has nothing in its rules about expelling an individual member from the party. In fact, while it is active as a campaign arm of the GOP and provides guidance to state parties and individual members on the general direction of the party, the RNC typically only has full control over the national party convention it hosts every four years. Most of its rules have to do with filling various party offices, delegate selection for the national convention and the procedure by which its convention runs. The only rule the RNC has regarding support for individual candidates bans it from supporting candidates in contested primaries and stipulates that someone running for another party’s nomination cannot be recognized as the GOP nominee. The Utah Republican Party does have a provision for expelling candidates from party membership, but it would not apply to Romney. A rule in the Utah GOP’s by-laws mandates that candidates running for office as a Republican have to sign an agreement saying they support the state party’s platform with a list of any platform stances they disagree with. Candidates who do not sign the agreement “will automatically forfeit their Party membership two days following the State designated candidate filing-period deadline.”)

https://www.theblaze.com/news/republicans-take-action-against-pelosi
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Rep.

She must be held accountable.” And he wasn’t the only one. Rep. Kay Granger (R-Tex.) also introduced a resolution criticizing Pelosi for her act. “Speaker Pelosi’s actions last night were appalling and shameful,” read a statement from Granger. “Regardless of her personal feelings, she had a responsibility to conduct herself with civility as the presiding officer representing the House of Representatives. She is not the Speaker of the Democrats, but of the People’s House.” Rep. Paul Gosar (R-Ariz.) tweeted that he introduced a resolution to censure Pelosi.)
